OBAMA CAUGHT LYING AGAIN: HE WAS MEMBER OF SOCIALIST 'NEW PARTY,' SAYS KURTZ
Breitbart ^ | 06/07/2012 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 06/07/2012 5:02:35 AM PDT by speelurker

Barack Obama was, in fact, a member of the socialist New Party in the 1990s and sought its endorsement for the Illinois senate--contrary to the misrepresentations of Obama's presidential campaign in 2008, and in spite of the efforts of Politico's Ben Smith to quash the story. Stanley Kurtz, author of Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism (2010), has released new "smoking gun" evidence at National Review Online. It is evidence that the mainstream media can no longer ignore--and Obama can no longer deny.

When the story of Obama's association with the New Party first broke in 2008, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt claimed that Obama had never been a member. (LaBolt likewise told the New York Times that Obama had "not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages since Mr. Obama began serving in the United States Senate in January 2005"--a statement that carefully concealed the truth that Obama had spent time in Ayers' home after he began serving in the Senate.) The Obama campaign took up the issue at its "Fight the Smears" website, smearing Kurtz and willfully distorting the truth about Barack Obama's radical past:

Right-wing hatchet man and conspiracy theorist, Stanley Kurtz is pushing a new crackpot smear against Barack falsely claiming he was a member of something called the New Party.

But the truth is Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party. In all six primary campaigns of his career, Barack has has run as a Democrat. The New Party did support Barack once in 1996, but he was the only candidate on the ballot in his race and never solicited the endorsement.

With the evidence that Kurtz has, I would imagine everybody on the right is going to pounce.

Get out the popcorn.

It could happen. I remember how Kennedy made a very serious last minute, behind the scenes attempt to pry the nomination away from Jimmy Carter way back when — and came pretty close to pulling it off.

The Kennedy wing is now pretty much the Clinton wing and the various potshots Bubba has been taking at the Bamster seem to be indicative that there are undercurrents and pieces in motion aimed at weakening Obama’s hand.

If Obama loses too much support, all bets are off. He’s damaged the Democrat brand so badly already that if the Republican win in November, that’s the last they will see of the White House for the next 12 years — at least.

I’m not so sure. If John McCain was the “presumptive” nominee at this point he would say: “No, my friends, I don’t believe this accusation against the President and I think we just need to stay on issues that are pertinent to this campaign.....yada, yada, yada.” But, then, John McCain really isn’t “on the right” is he? For that we can thank his Liberal wife and slutty daughter, Megan “I wanna be a Liberal Democrat” McCain.

In a leftist’s mind, however, they stick with the quote of “fascism is more accurately referred to as corporatism”, implying that corporations and private businesses are corrupting their beloved government, and not the other way around.

I ask them - which one, the government or the corporation, has the legal ability to use force to coerce the other to do its will?

In a world of debt, where the government shows up at the bond window with the lender knowing that the interest rate doesn't cover the inflation - which one calls the shots on what the government regulates and how?

Communism was a creation of some of the richest bankers in Europe. Look at how the manipulators cashed in on the collapse of the Soviet Union. The game is "pump and dump" on a global scale.

While running for the Illinois state Senate in 1996 as a Democrat, Obama actively sought and received the endorsement of the New Party

If it gets bad enough, and the Democratic hierarchy and the wealthy contributors to Obama realize he probably will not win, they could change the Rules at the Convention and nominate Hillary from the floor. Am I right or wrong?

See tag line. I've been saying it for about a month.

Oh, but since the “fascist” epithet is reserved for conservatives, it REALLY bugs the crap out of liberals when you show that the guy they support is a fascist by definition.

As for the group's socialist ideology, Kurtz says, the documents he has recovered leave no doubt:

The documents reveal that the New Party’s central aim was to move the United States steadily closer to European social democracy, a goal that Mitt Romney has also attributed to Obama. New Party leaders disdained mainstream Democrats, considering them tools of business, and promised instead to create a partnership between elected officials and local community organizations, with the goal of socializing the American economy to an unprecedented degree.

Well, well, well.....Bill O'Reilly's mouth has never been able to form the word "socialist" when it comes to identifying Obama. Not ONCE since the immaculation has he ever ascribed the word to the Messiah.

In fact, O'Reilly many times has openly STATED he can't describe Obama as a socialist. Instead he uses the words "liberal" and "progressive" to identify the president's ideology.

Maybe now with Breitbart's revelation the Bloviator will be able to spit the PROPER description out of his mouth, as painful as it may be.

Last night's Factor should convince even the most fervent Doubting Thomas of O'Reilly's deftly veiled but always steadfast statist leanings. Behind that leprechaun smile, BO'R is closer to Obama's statist/fascist bent than is suspected or comfortable.

He was again on a rant in favor of big government telling us what to eat.....like his demand that the government tell us "the facts" about the "dangers" of wheat. O'Reilly himself has quit eating wheat. He didn't seem fazed at all when it was suggested to him that the wheat farmers might go the way of the tobacco growers if the government steps in with anti-wheat propaganda.

The man is becoming unhinged in many aspects.

I wonder if he's a vegan now. I have no idea of his diet, but he IS starting to look wan and tired.

Of course they can ignore it. There is NO "mainstream media." While the media has a long history of being biased to the left, in 2008 they dropped all pretenses of trying to report facts, and simply became a part of the Obama election campaign. Today what used to be called the "mainstream media" has morphed into the ministry of propaganda.

And Obama can certainly continue to lie. It's one of his greatest talents, being able to look through the teleprompter, into the camera, and lie directly to the public. After all, who are you going to believe? Obama, or your lying eyes?
