The Worstest Person in the World! O'Reilly, Geller, Palin :)

Keith Olbermann names yours truly one of the worst persons in world - sandwiched in between O'Reilly and Sarah Palin (woot) for the in depth piece that reader Rudy wrote on Obama's nefarious background.

Did MSNBC run any of the news stories I broke on the campaign finance fraud or the the altered COLB (birth certificate)? Did Olberschtunk even read the piece he is quoting?

And what's with that pic?

The Global Network Initiative - a loss of religious freedom

Global Network Initiative - a loss of religious freedom? by Randall Rathbun

If 57 nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference have their way in the United Nations, and the "Defamation of Religions resolution" is approved, it may be a crime, soon, to publish material on the internet deemed to advocate "religious hatred".

This document states that it is wrong to associate Islam with human rights violations and terrorism, and that it is deplorable to use the internet to incite xenophobia, or related intolerance and discrimination towards Islam (and any other religion) and that defamation of Islam and Muslims must be effectively combatted.

One is forced to ask what motive is guiding terrorists, if not a religious one, which they have said in their very own words?

So how does this affect the internet?

Simple, on October 28, 2008 the Global Network Initiative was publically announced, in their own words "a consortium of companies, civil society organizations, investors and academics" with a "comprehensive collaborative approach to regulate the Information & Communications Infrastructures worldwide for the express purpose of protecting and advancing freedom of expression."

This organization has quietly met for 2 years hammering out an agreement binding upon their members.  These members include Microsoft, Yahoo and Google and other major IT players on the world stage.

While proclaming that protection of privacy is their foremost concern and that the GNI advances fundamental human rights, one must read the fine print buried in their "Principles".

What is not apparent is that if the GNI intends to abide by the United Nations "International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [ICCPR] and article 20 item 2 of the ICCPR which states  "Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall  be prohibited by law." then it will be illegal to post such material on the internet, period!

It appears that a chilling silencing of religious expression on the internet is about to occur, if the Defamation of religion resolution is approved and the GNI promises to abide by its founding principles subservient to the ICCPR articles.

We need to remember that Yahoo was accused of assisting the Chinese government in supplying the identity of "political dissidents".  One does not need to imagine what might be next on the horizon.

Caveat Lector!

OBAMA, KHALIDI AND THE ART OF BEHEADING DANCE

Debbie Schlussel has dug up more frightening revelations to  Obama's Muslim leaning.  Was the dance troupe at the Obama/Khalidi dinner (the tape the LA Times won't release) dancing with the simulating beheading dance troupe?

Dance Troupeat the  Obama-Khalidi Dinner (of Secreted Tape Fame) Simulated Beheadings in Recent Past

As you all know, the Los Angeles Times is holding hostage a tape of Barack Obama at a 2003 Arab American Action Network (AAAN) dinner at which his friends, Rashid Khalidi, William Ayers, and Bernadine Dohrn were in attendance. It's the story I started when Los Angeles Times plagiarist/"reporter" Peter Wallsten ripped off my January column on Barack Obama's Nation of Islam staffers and friendship with AAAN founder Ali Abunimah.

But here's what you haven't yet heard: that a kids' dance troupe that appeared at the event has a history of simulating beheadings and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags.

Sanabel AlQuds Dance Troupe with Sword Beheading Accessories

Reports of the partial guest list at the 2003 dinner include "the Sanabel Debka troupe", but the group's name is really "Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe." Sanabel means "grains" or "kernels" (of wheat or barley) in Arabic. AlQuds, or "The Holy", is the Muslim name for Jerusalem, which is ripped-off from the eternal Hebrew name for Jerusalem, "Ir Kadosh", or Holy City.

The Milwaukee-based Muslim kids dancing troupe purports to perform the debka, a Middle-Eastern step-dance. But this group, made up of mostly Palestinian Muslims and under the auspices of the Milwaukee Muslim American Society does far more in its "performance." And it's frightening.

There's more .... go.

SARAH IS WOMAN HEAR HER ROAR!

Nidra Poller who has joined me in my Florida trek to convert the misled Jews on our Great Reverse Shlep has penned (and nailed it) oped on Palin. Fresh from Paris ...... an expat's perspective.

And btw, check out Team Sara's response to Obama's wink here.

Sarah Palin is not every woman’s Everywoman

Northern Virginia, Southern Florida October 25-29, 2008

Nidra Poller

[original English version of an article published in Hebrew translation by Makor Rishon]

John McCain’s vice presidential pick was a stroke of strategic genius. The popular Alaska governor, Sarah Palin, looked like the queen that would trump Obama’s knight. More sex appeal than Barack and Michelle combined, more and cuter kids, more spring to her step, more charm and…real executive experience. A track record you could believe in because it is all up front, visible and documented. Obama was attracting swoons from the idol worshippers. Sarah Palin inspired whoops of joy. Go girl go!

Her presence on the ticket was a shot in the arm to McCain, who suddenly began to show his impish smile. Her grace offset the wooden gestures of the war hero and survivor of Vietcong prison camps whose sacrifice earned him no credit in the opposing camp or in the mainstream media, deeply settled in Obama’s pocket since day one of the Democrat primaries. But Sarah Barracuda (her nickname on the basketball court) and self-described hockey Mom announced from the get go that she was not afraid of the media.

Her boldness was like blood to a shark. The media moved in immediately and have been doing a hatchet job that would leave a lesser woman twice dead. Governor Palin is subjected to relentless scrutiny, mockery, sarcasm, and sleaze. It doesn’t faze her. She keeps on stumping, drawing huge enthusiastic crowds at Republican rallies. She conveys the campaign message with convincing candor. She makes TV appearances, including a triumph of good sportsmanship on the Saturday Night Live show, side by side with Tina Fey, the actress who imitates her on the political comedy show. She is interviewed by hostile journalists who frame their questions with the sole intention of showing her up. Palin keeps smiling. Her enemies take this as confirmation of her stupidity.

On the—rather broad—lunatic fringes of Democratic fans, the attacks on Sarah Palin have reached a new low in American politics…and in misogyny, including disgraceful t-shirts reduce her to her sexual organs “Sarah is a c___ .” A mockup of her baby was auctioned on e-bay as a “prop” and, most recently, she was hung in effigy from the eaves of a home in Californian as a Hallowe’en decoration. The first anti-Palin rumor went straight to the womb, with allegations that she was pretending to be the mother of the Down syndrome babe in arms who really belonged to her 17 year-old daughter Bristol. That gossip was rapidly replaced with a new scandal and much clucking over the discovery that the daughter is in fact pregnant, out of wedlock, and intending to marry the father of her child, 18 year-old Levi Johnston.

You would think the entire progressive camp had turned into 19th century Puritans. But no, silly, her sin was not in having sexual relations outside of marriage—everybody does that. Her sin was in not having an abortion. There was no further need to look at Governor Palin’s record as mayor of Wasilia and governor of Alaska. No need to look at McCain’s platform. All you had to do was look at the child-mother’s swelling belly to conclude that Governor Palin is opposed to birth control and abortion. In short, she’s a witch! If the girl had posed nude in a pornographic film or been caught driving while high on drugs it would not have provoked such outrage as her precocious maternity.

The fact that Barack Hussein Obama was born to an unwed seventeen and a half year-old mother was not considered proof of anything. The fact that his father already had a wife and two children in Kenya when he brought his seed to Ann Dunham caused no retroactive scandal. And the fact that if Ann had been as modern and enlightened as progressives require, she would have aborted, and there would be no Obama to worship and elect, seemed not to occur to anyone but me.

French media are more Obamophile and less fair and balanced than the worst of the US brand. The nominally conservative Figaro newspaper is just as one-sided as the leftwing Libération. One would think, from French election coverage, that the U.S. was already an African style dictatorship with one 90% sure-to-win candidate and a pygmy somewhere out in the bush lucky to stay alive before the victory of the President for Life is announced. McCain is virtually nonexistent…except to be panned. The top NY Times slur of the day is picked up and recycled a few days later in France, and so it was with the pro-life scandal of the Palin family. However, a few days into that story, unwed Justice Minister Rachida Dati announced that she is pregnant. I am ashamed to say that I have no inside information about the father of Dati’s child. It may be one of those well-disseminated French secrets that everyone who is anyone knows… for awhile people were saying the father is former Spanish president Aznar…they would make a handsome couple but the rumor has been denied… Nonetheless, no one suggested that the Justice Minister was a wimpess for not having an abortion. But then she is in her forties, so her pregnancy can fall into the trendy category.

On the Left, Sarah Palin is seen as an affront to feminism. On the Right she is held forth as a resounding denial of the doctrinaire ideology of a liberation movement that, we should remember, originated with closet lesbians like Kate Millett who rejected not only male domination but males, threw off not only the chains of uncontrolled fertility but maternity itself. As the movement broadened to include heterosexual women these harsh positions were tempered but, as we see from the hysterical reaction to Palin, it never disappeared. Women in their forties inherited freedoms seized by the bra burners and at the same time uncritically adopted the narrow definition of the Acceptably Liberated Woman. Palin doesn’t make the grade!

KHALIDI AND OBAMA

CLICK LINK below to watch the Khalidi video ..... Dan writes, "Making the rounds in the new media this morning, an alleged eyewitness account of the Obama-Khalidi video the LA Times doesn't want America (especially Jews) to see.

 

As the Obamamedia would say, it's thinly sourced. Sorry guys, stop manufacturing vacuums and nature won't have to fill 'em.

 

Saw a clip from the tape. Reason we can't release it is because statements Obama said to rile audience up during toast. He congratulates Khalidi for his work saying "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" plus there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis."

The Democrats and al qaeda - one and the same (from Jihadwatch)

Not that he is endorsing any party, Reuters hastens to assure us. "Qaeda wants Republicans, Bush "humiliated": Web video," from Reuters, October 30 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated," without endorsing a party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to an Internet video posting.

"O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him," Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet.

Libi, a top al Qaeda commander believed to be living in Afghanistan or Pakistan, called for God's wrath to be brought against Bush equating him with past tyrants in history.

The remarks were the first from a leading al Qaeda figure referring, albeit indirectly, to the U.S. elections. Muslim clerics often end sermons by calling on God to guide and support Muslims and help defeat their enemies....

Funny thing. Now, why is that? Reuters doesn't tell us, of course, about the sharp division between the believers -- the "best of people" (Qur'an 3:110) -- and the unbelievers -- the "most vile of created beings" (Qur'an 98:6) -- that runs through Islam. Nor does it discuss the geopolitical and supremacist implications of these prayers for the "defeat" of their enemies.

Some posters have also argued over the merits of trying to attack the United States before the election or waiting until later, the report said....

And indeed, although of course there still are a few days left, those who have counseled that it is best not to mount a violent jihad attack against the U.S. before the election seem to have won out.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain has been portrayed as likely to allow "the continuation of Republican control and aggressive policies toward the Islamic world."

"I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car, I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage"

ATLAS SHRUGS: THE GREAT REVERSE SCHLEP

Nisra Poller and I will be making appearancews presenting The Case against Obama: LETHAL FOR ISRAEL

The media is withholding the evidence of Obama's past. They refuse to publish the truth about Obama. The LA Times  is Hiding Incriminating Video of Obama with Radical Palestinian. Khalidi, Ayers and Dohrn

Obama has received millions of dollars of foreign money. Contributions from Gaza, a Hamas controlled camp ... a million from Qaddafi and across the Muslim world. They are electioneering for him illegally in mosques across America. Unindicted co-conspirator and US front for the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR

The presentation—which will include a ten minute video—focuses on critical aspects of Obama’s ideology and longstanding alliances that the mainstream media have chosen to ignore, or whitewash, most notably:

His intimate, self-admittedly formative, and longstanding relationships and alliances with Marxist, Anti-Zionist, and Antisemitic ideologues, both religious, and lay, particularly Franklin Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and Rashid Khalidi

His endorsements by the most radical Jew-annihilationist elements of the Muslim world

Obama’s stated belief that Jew annihilationist terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, “have legitimate grievances.”

The shared view of Obama and his running mate Biden that Iran—despite its repeated genocidal threats to Israel—be appeased, as represented by their joint opposition to a Congressional Resolution designating Iran’s murderous Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, as well as Obama’s stated willingness to negotiate face to face with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, absent any pre-conditions. are on a reverse shlep to Florida to get the truth to the Jews before its too late.

UPDATE: Rashid Khalidi was a LOT More than Just a PLO "Spokesman"

A Hillary Staffer Comes Clean ..... it's wild

What we are in for ............... read every word:

What you were never intended to know in this election Redstate via Israpundit

After a long and careful consideration of all the implications and possible consequences of my actions today, I have decided to go through with this in the hope that our country can indeed be guided into the right direction. First, a little personal background… I am a female grad student in my 20’s, and a registered Democrat. During the primaries, I was a campaign worker for the Clinton candidacy. I believed in her and still do, staying all the way to the bitter end. And believe me, it was bitter. The snippets you’ve heard from various media outlets only grazed the surface. There was no love between the Clinton and Obama campaigns, and these feelings extended all the way to the top. Hillary was no dope though, and knew that any endorsement of Obama must appear to be a full-fledged one. She did this out of political survival. As a part of his overall effort to extend an olive branch to the Clinton camp and her supporters, Obama took on a few Hillary staff members into his campaign. I was one such worker. Though I was still bitterly loyal to Hillary, I still held out hope that he would choose her as VP. In fact, there was a consensus among us transplants that in the end, he HAD to choose her. It was the only logical choice. I also was committed to the Democratic cause and without much of a second thought, transferred my allegiance to Senator Obama.

I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything. Being in a position to know these things, I will rate what the Obama campaign already knows are their weak links from the most important on down.

1 – Hillary voters. Internal polling suggests that at best, we are taking 70-75% of these voters. Other estimates are as low as 60% in some areas – particularly Ohio and western PA. My biggest problem with this campaign’s strategy was the decision NOT to offer Hillary the VP slot. She was ready and able to take this on, and would have campaigned enthusiastically for it. This selection would have also brought virtually all of her supporters into the fold, and the Obama campaign knew it. Though I have no way of knowing this for certain, and I do admit that I am relying on internal gossip, Senator Obama actually went against the advice of his top advisors. They wanted him to choose her, but the only significant opposition to this within the campaign came from Barack and Michelle Obama. In short, he let personal feelings take precedence over what was the most logical thing to do. Biden, by the way, has been a disaster inside the campaign. Everyone cringes whenever he gives an interview, and he creates so many headaches as the campaign has to stay on their toes in order to disseminate information and spin whatever it was he was trying to say.

2 – Sarah Palin. Don’t believe what the media is telling you about how horrible a choice she was. Again, our internal polling suggest that though she has had a minimal impact on pulling disaffected Hillary Democrats to McCain, she has done wonders in mobilizing the base for McCain. Another thing – we were completely taken by surprise with her pick. In my capacity in the research department, I looked into the backgrounds of Leiberman, Romney, Pawlenty and Ridge, and prepared briefs. I don’t mind bragging that we had pretty good stuff on all of them. With Leiberman, the plan was to paint him as an erratic old-timer who didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing (pretty much a clone of McCain). In Romney, we had him pegged as an evil capitalist who cut jobs. Pawlenty was going to get the “Quayle treatment”, or more precisely: a pretty face, with no valid experience. Tom Ridge was going to be used to provide a direct link from McCain to Bush. As you can see, we were quite enamored of all of them. Then the unexpected happened – Sarah Palin. We had no clue as to how to handle her, and bungled it from the start. Though through our misinformation networks, we have successfully taken some of the shine off. But let there be no doubt. She remains a major obstacle. She has singlehanded solidified “soft” Republican support, mobilized the McCain ground game, and has even had some appeal to independents and Hillary voters. This is what our internal polling confirms.

3 – Obama’s radical connections. Standards operating procedure has been to cry “racism” whenever one of these has been brought up. We even have a detailed strategy ready to go should McCain ever bring Rev. Wright up. Though by themselves they are of minimal worth, taken together, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfelger, and now, Rashid Khalili, are exactly what the campaign does not need. The more focus on them, the more this election becomes a referendum on Obama. The campaign strategy from the very beginning was to make this election a referendum on Bush. Strategists have been banging their head on how successfully McCain has distanced himself from Bush. This has worked, and right now the tide is in his favor. People are taking a new look at Barack Obama, and our experience when this happens tells us this is not good news at all. When they take a look at him, one or more of these names are bound to be brought up. McCain has wisely not harped on this in recent weeks and let voters decide for themselves. This was a trap we set for him, and he never fully took the bait. Senator Obama openly dared him to bring up Ayers. This was not due to machismo on the part of Obama, but actually due to campaign strategy. Though McCain’s reference to Ayers fell flat in the last debate, people in the Obama campaign were actually disappointed that he didn’t follow through on it more and getting into it. Our focus groups found this out: When McCain brings these connections up, voters are turned off to him. They’d rather take this into consideration themselves, and when this happens, our numbers begin to tank.

4 – The Bradley Effect. Don’t believe these polls for a second. I just went over our numbers and found that we have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada. Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but is too close to call it for him. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa are the true “toss up states”. The only two of these the campaign feels “confident” in are Iowa and New Mexico. The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley Effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign. In general, we tend to take a -10 point percentage in allowing for this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark. This is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania! This is why Ohio is such a desperate hope for us! What truly bothers this campaign is the fact that some pollsters get up to an 80% “refuse to respond” result. You can’t possibly include these into the polls. The truth is, people are afraid to let people know who they are voting for. The vast majority of these respondents are McCain supporters. Obama is the “hip” choice, and we all know it.

As part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a “feel” as to what is being talked about on the other side. Much of it is nonsense, but there are some exceptions which give the campaign jitters. A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them. A more disorganized, but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as redstate.com. Don’t you guys get it? This has been the Obama campaign’s sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. This is how it has been for all of his campaigns. What surprises me is that everyone has fallen for it. You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all of this. If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. How did we skew these polls, you might ask? It all starts with the media “buzz” which has been generated over the campaign. Many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered. None of this happens by coincidence. It is all part of the poll-skewing process. This makes pollsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democratic voters. What is not mentioned or reported on is not the “under-reported cell phone users or young voters” we hear so much about. What is underreported is you.

Go read it. I am telling it folks, it is ours ............... no normal person is going to elect the Mansorian candidate. Obama is a plant. Now get out the vote -- we have massive voter fraud to overrcome.

65 people killed and 335 injured as 11 bombs rock crowded markets in India  hat tip wolf

At least 65 people died as 11 bombs ripped through Indian towns in an apparently co-ordinated attack yesterday.

Up to 335 others were wounded by the explosions, many of which were in crowded markets in the troubled north-eastern Assam state. Some bombs were hidden in motorcycles or scooters.

Assam has been a focus of a separatist insurgency for decades. But recent bomb attacks have been blamed on Islamist militants from Bangladesh.

Officials said 33 were killed in four blasts in the state's capital, Guwahati. The other 32 were killed in three other towns in the state.

Television channels showed some people lying on the streets, their clothes soaked in blood. Some of the walking wounded were helped into ambulances by local people and police.

'Immediately after the blast there was complete darkness for a while and I later saw several bodies and severed limbs all around,' said Bikash Goyal, a witness in Guwahati.

Why am I not surprised?

ATLAS SHRUGS: THE GREAT REVERSE SCHLEP

I will also discuss:

The biggest loss of personal freedom in the history of the United States is about to take place -- under Obama.

On the Today Show he identified some of the "sacrifices" he will expect America to make. He will regulate the power in your home, how green your buidling is, what car you drive, he will micromanage work rules, he will impose new burdens on employers (not the least of which is a massive tax increase to 69% on self employed persons making over $250k). Obama will also be obliged to pass every dream list from Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, including the "fairness doctrine" which will attempt to ban conservative speech on the public airwaves. He will lurch America froma fundamentally capitalist system to a socialist system which vastly expands America's limited socialist programs and massively redistributes income via the IRS through tax rebates to people who do not pay taxes.

And this is just the beginning. Even with 4 years in office, it may take decades to unwind the socialist agenda. The tentacles of the federal government will reach into each and every aspect of your life.

Obama's agenda is about power, control and redistribution of wealth. The change will be horribly negative, but it will definitely be a change.

INSIDE OBAMBI'S DEPT OF PEACE AND NON-VIOLENCE

From The One's Firseside Chat last night:

We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”

Reader Tom opines,

"he wants a National Security Force aka Brownshirts...

He's telling us in advance what he's going to do and nobody is listening!

Remember back in June when Michael Pfleger said that whites needed to give up their 401[sic] plans? What are the Democrats talking about doing now with that socialist witch from the New School of Social Research? Is it just a coincidence, or did Barack share something in confidence with Pfleger?

Obama may lie a lot but he's certainly dropping some very non-subtle clues about what he wants to do. His cult is already trying to crush dissent. Just wait until He has his own secret police at his disposal.

In Biblical times, did all of the Jews worship the golden idol or was it just half of them? We have half of today's Americans worshipping our own Golden Idol.

I'm Catholic. As a child, I sat in Church and read those stories over and over instead of paying attention. I always wondered why the Chosen People made the same mistakes over and over. Now if I substitute "Americans" for "Jews", I find myself reliving those same stories. I'm consecrating my own children to the Moloch of the public school left-wing indoctrination. I find my fellow Americans engaged in secular idolatry. I say these things as a man who has never been terribly devout.

I fear all Americans and especially for your people. Whatever happened to "never again!?" Two generations later and we are blind to the Truth.

The FCC has sent letters to some of the nation's most prominent military analysts -- some of them pro-President Bush and pro-war -- suggesting they may have broken the law when they appeared on television stations to comment on and explain the war on terrorism.

The FCC investigation raises the question of whether a Democrat-controlled Congress and White House next year will investigate -- and perhaps criminalize -- all sorts of actions taken by the Bush administration. Obama is leading in all presidential polls, while Democrats are set to greatly increase their hold on the House and Senate.

Muslim Americans for Obama running illegal vote drives

This has been going on for months. Go here and read it all-

The group, Muslim Americans for Obama, has announced a series of “get out the vote” events at mosques in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and Ohio this week during Ramadan celebrations. As can be seen in the announcement reprinted below, the organization admits these are “get out the vote” events masquerading as “voter registration”:

Muslim Americans for Obama will be working to get out the vote for Sen. Obama, and they need help registering voters! Volunteers need not be Muslim, though appropriate attire is advised (no sleeveless tops; long pants and ankle-length skirts recommended).

These get out the vote events, of course, flagrantly violate the tax exempt status of these participating mosques, including our own local Noor Islamic Cultural Center, which are strictly prohibited from supporting or endorsing any kind of partisan political activity — even when they claim it is only “voter registration”. In fact, it was these kinds of activities that eventually sunk the Christian Coalition's tax exempt status with the IRS.

Here's the entire announcement posted on Sunday at the Asian-Americans for Obama 08 website (no doubt it will disappear from there shortly), as well as the Muslim Americans for Obama website: (Read the rest at Ohio Against Terror)

MR. RASHID AND KHALIDI: RELEASE THE TAPE!

Bostom sent this to me and  writes,"The difference is that while I came away from these encounters convinced that Khalidi's purported moderation was a sham, and have said so, Obama went the other direction, maintaining their friendship right up to Khalidi's send-off from Chicago, to which he contributed an encomium. Which is why I'd really like to see that videotape. I'm just curious which of Rashid Khalidi's virtues I somehow missed, and Barack Obama saw."

• "Dr. Rashid and Mr. Khalidi." On how Khalidi has varied his pitch according to audience—and, when interviewed on Al Jazeera, turns into a firebrand. Martin Kramer

"He has family literally all over the world. I feel a kindred spirit from that." —Rashid Khalidi on Barack Obama

The link between Palestinian-American agitprof Rashid Khalidi and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has finally been picked up by the mainstream media. It's something they should have looked at long ago, and even now, they aren't really digging. They're simply reporting the demand of the McCain campaign that the Los Angeles Times release the video of Obama's praise of Khalidi, at a farewell gathering for Khalidi in 2003. Obama and Khalidi (and their wives) became friends in the 1990s, when Obama began to teach at the University of Chicago, where Khalidi also taught. In 2003, Khalidi accepted the Edward Said Professorship of Arab Studies at Columbia; the videotaped event was his Chicago farewell party. The Los Angeles Times, which refuses to release the tape (and which endorsed Obama on October 19) reported last spring that Obama praised Khalidi's "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases." Other speakers reportedly said incendiary things against Israel. Whether or how Obama reacted, only the videotape might tell.

That Obama spoke on this important occasion suggests that his attachment to Khalidi wasn't a superficial acquaintance. As Obama admits, the two had many "conversations" over dinner at the Khalidis' home, and these may well have constituted Obama's primer on the Middle East. Yet Obama has given no account of these conversations, even as he has repeatedly emphasized other ones which would seem far less significant.

For example, Obama, in an interview and in his spring AIPAC speech, recalled conversations with a Jewish-American camp counselor he encountered—when he was all of eleven years old. "During the course of this two-week camp he shared with me the idea of returning to a homeland and what that meant for people who had suffered from the Holocaust, and he talked about the idea of preserving a culture when a people had been uprooted with the view of eventually returning home. There was something so powerful and compelling for me, maybe because I was a kid who never entirely felt like he was rooted." (In the same interview, Obama said Israel "speaks to my history of being uprooted, it speaks to the African-American story of exodus.")

Of course, the story of someone like Khalidi could have just as readily spoken to Obama's history of uprootedness, exodus, preserving a culture, and longing to return home. (So too would the story of the late Edward Said, who was photographed seated at a dinner with Obama in 1998, and who entitled his memoir Out of Place. Obama has never said anything about the impact, if any, of that conversation.) And indeed, it stretches credulity to believe that a two-week childhood encounter at a summer camp was more significant to Obama that his decade-long association, as a mature adult, with his senior university colleague, Khalidi.

UPDATE: Yid opines: The LA Times believes that certain leaks are OK. Leaking secret grand jury proceedings that could defame the innocent is fine. Leaking national Security Secrets are OK. But "leaking" the tape of a meeting that points to the credibility of one of the Presidential candidates is taboo?

In May 2004, The Los Angeles Times reported Secret Grand Jury Information in the "Plame CIA leak case". They reported that reporters for Newsday were being asked for interviews In June 2006, both The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times published a story based on a leak regarding the government's pressure on SWIFT — a Brussels-based clearinghouse that exchanges transactional information between international banks — to give up information on private bank transactions as part of U.S. global anti-terror efforts.The stories drew immediate fire from the White House and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y, then-chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, who called the leak and subsequent publishing of the program's details treasonous.

In 2003 The LA Times ran an Editorial about why leaks are important, What Leaks Are Good Leaks? By Jack Nelson, it says in part:

MORE DESTITUTE OBAMA RELATIVES in Boston

While the Marxist in waiting, his mouthwatering at the prospect of stealing your money, proselytizing about the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil rich and the sanctimonious underachievers, another destitute member of his family appears on the radar screen.

George Hussein Onyango Obama, Another Long Lost ...

Remember, this was a man who didn't have the common decency to be at his mother's death bed when she succumbed to ovarian cancer. Lovely monster.

Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango Times Online hat tip Wolf

Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle,  have a contrasting American story.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20 (£1,488) arrears, according to the Boston Housing Court.

The US press has repeatedly rehearsed Mr Obama’s extraordinary odyssey, but the other side of the family’s American experience has only been revealed in parts. Just across town from where Mr Obama made history as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, some of his closest blood relatives have confronted the harshness of immigrant life in America.

In his book Mr Obama writes that “Uncle Omar” had gone missing after moving to Boston in the 1960s – a quarter-century before Mr Obama first visited his family in Kenya. Aunt Zeituni is now also living in Boston, and recently made a $260 campaign contribution to her nephew's presidential bid from a work address in the city.

Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

[..]

She worked six hours a week for a small stipend. Records show she used the housing authority’s address to make her campaign contribution.

OBAMA CAMPAIGN FRAUD:STILL TAKING FICTITIOUS DONORS, CREDIT CARD FRAUD

Craig, the reader that contributed to Obama as John Galt, Osama Bin Laden, and Bill Ayers provides is with this troubling update. Craig writes me:

"Given the bad PR and the additional cost for all their CC transactions; why is the AVS still turned off? This story first broke in the blogs in a big way last Wednesday, and the MSM starting asking the Obama campaign about it by the end of the week. So the Obama campaign surely knows the basic facts of the story and its potential liability; that they don’t have even the most basic security measures initiated at their website. Just to cover their butts; don’t you think they would have turned those features back on? So they can claim “yes, we discovered the issue and have rectified it several days ago…blah, blah, blah….”

So, I tested the system, yet again, this morning with the same credit card – this time with Karl Marx as the donor – and sure enough, it went thru.

But Why? Why would they continue to expose themselves to this potential scandal?

My bet is (in spite of their claims that it’s too difficult to make the info available) they know down to the penny the exact details of all their under $200 donors and the serial-CC-fraudsters and the simply can’t afford to give up the money. Also, as reported here , it’s actually costing them more per transaction to process all their online donations. Even the ones that aren’t fraudulent.

So they know this is a PR issue, and it’s more expensive on a per transaction basis, yet the AVS remains disabled.

I can only conclude; they know this is such a significant percentage of their overall revenue, that it spite of the publicity they have to continue to allow the fraud in order to meet their budget goals.  They must know just how many of those small donations are coming from fraudulent sources, and if they turn the security on it could drastically impact those $150-million donation months?"

Also, if they did publically announce that they restored the security features and a big drop in the fundraising figures ensued, it would only confirm all the fraud up to that point. Meaning, if the fundraising reports show a big drop in CC transactions after they turned the AVS back on, it would be evidence of the crime.

It certainly seems to follow from the facts. If this was really an insignificant portion (WaPo says 1%) of their donations it would be a good PR move to simply turn the security on. But they don’t.

THE LEGAL CASE TO RELEASE THE OBAMA/KHALIDI VIDEO

The Legal case to release the tape from this law student who wrote me the following:

"The bottom line is this: It is irrelevant that the courts denied the LATimes requests to disclose what has been adjudicated should not be disclosed.  What IS relevant is to show the utter HYPOCRISY of the LATimes to refuse to disclose information about a candidate for POTUS when they have argued time and time and time again for disclosure because of PUBLIC INTEREST re matters courts and/or legislatures have deemed confidential. 

There has truly never been a more important election in our lifetimes.  The LA Times has no LEGAL reason why they should not release the tape, and the lie that they are putting out there that they keep their word is preposterous when they have asked courts and legislatures to CHANGE THE LAW in the matter of the public interest re matters much lesser than this one.

I'm sure there's a LOT more...I am only a law student, not an expert, and I don't have time to research every single LA Times of LA Mirror case...maybe publishing quotes LA Times made requesting release of confidential info will either pressure them into releasing the tape or at the very least expose their hypocrisy to such a degree that the public will be more focused on what could be on that tape."

v.

The SUPERIOR COURT of Los Angeles County, Respondent.

LOS ANGELES TIMES, Real Party in Interest.

No. B104051.

 

Dec. 19, 1996.

As Modified Jan. 21, 1997.

Review Denied March 26, 1997.

 

Newspaper petitioned for writ of mandate seeking disclosure of applications submitted to governor by applicants for appointment to county board of supervisors. The Superior Court, No. BS038131,Robert H. O'Brien, J., granted petition.   Governor petitioned for writ of mandate. The Court of Appeal, Armstrong, J., held that applications were exempt from disclosure under Public Records Act's “public interest” or “catchall” exemption.

[1] In a request made pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Gov.Code, § 6250 et seq.),^FN1 the Los Angeles Times (“the Times”) sought disclosure of, among other documents, copies of applications submitted to Governor Pete Wilson by persons seeking appointment to the vacancy on the Orange County Board of Supervisors created by the retirement of Supervisor Gaddi Vasquez. When Governor Wilson (through his Deputy Legal Affairs Secretary) declined to grant the Times access to the documents, the Times filed a petition for writ of mandate in respondent court. In this proceeding, the Governor challenges respondent court's judgment granting the Times' petition. We hold the applications are exempt from disclosure under the Act's “public interest” or “catchall” exemption (§ 6255) because they are subject to the “deliberative process privilege” ( Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 1325, 283 Cal.Rptr. 893, 813 P.2d 240) and that the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

The Times argues that applicants for a highly-visible public office should expect that their qualifications and background will be subjected to close public scrutiny. We do not disagree. There is a considerable difference, however, between an applicant's disclosing such information to the Governor for purposes of a possible political appointment, and having such information disseminated in the press.

 

[10][11] The Times also argues that the importance of public access to information regarding high government posts is manifest and that the appointment of an *1144 individual (one of only five) to the Board of Supervisors of a county emerging from bankruptcy is of utmost public interest. Again, we do not disagree. The question, however is whether the public interest in disclosure of these applications clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure. In resolving this issue we take the pragmatic approach approved by the Supreme Court in Times Mirror: “The deliberative process privilege is grounded in the unromantic reality of politics; it rests on the understanding that if the public and the Governor were entitled to precisely the same information, neither would likely receive it. Politics is an ecumenical affair; it embraces persons and groups of every conceivable interest: public and private; popular and unpopular; Republican and Democratic and every partisan stripe in between; left, right and center. To disclose every private meeting or association of the Governor and expect the decisionmaking process to function effectively, is to deny human nature and contrary to common sense and experience. [Citation.]”    ( Times Mirror, supra, 53 Cal.3d at p. 1345, 283 Cal.Rptr. 893, 813 P..2d 240.)    As the Legislature recognized when it enacted 6255, and the Supreme Court recognized when it decided Times Mirror, there are instances in which, despite the Act's clear mandate for disclosure, documents must be subjected to a balancing test to determine whether the public interest served by not making the document public clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosing it. ( Times Mirror, supra, 53 Cal.3d at p. 1344, 283 Cal.Rptr. 893, 813 P..2d 240.)    Having conducted the balancing test compelled by Times Mirror, we conclude the applications in question should not be made public.

UPDATE:

Here's ANOTHER case where the LATimes PETITIONED THE COURT to release confidential info, this time based on "enormous public interest"

Court of Appeal, Second District, Division 3, California. LOS ANGELES TIMES et al., Petitioners,
v.
The SUPERIOR COURT of Los Angeles County, Respondent;
The People et al., Real Parties in Interest. No. B169890. Dec. 12, 2003.
Review Denied Feb. 24, 2004.

Background: Priests who allegedly committed acts of child molestation moved to quash grand jury subpoenas served on their archdiocese's custodian of records seeking all documents, including confidential personnel files, related to the allegations. Motion was denied, and after the Court of Appeal denied the priests' petition for writ of mandate, 103 Cal.App.4th 1384, 127 Cal.Rptr.2d 454, the referee for the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Nos. BH001928, VA073139, PA042836, and BA239625, Thomas F. Nuss, J., determined that all pleadings and decisions related to grand jury subpoenas were closed. Two newspapers petitioned for a writ of mandate to overturn the referee's closure order.

114 Cal.App.4th 247, 7 Cal.Rptr.3d 524, 32 Media L. Rep. 1180, 03 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 10,722, 2003 Daily Journal D.A.R. 13,517

ISSUES RAISED

1. Petitioners, asserting there is “enormous public interest” in this case, ask us to vacate the referee's August 27 sealing order on the ground it violates their presumptive right of public access to judicial proceedings.

Petitioners also contend there is no legal justification for keeping under seal the superior court order appointing Judge Nuss to act as the discovery referee.

"Whether you vote for the white kafir or the half-black kafir, they will kill our brothers and sisters. They will subjugate our brothers and sisters"

"Whether you vote for the white kafir or the half-black kafir, they will kill our brothers and sisters. They will subjugate our brothers and sisters. And they will certainly support Israel in killing our brothers and sisters. There is no "lesser of two evils" here. They are both greater evils. The lesser evil is avoiding the situation, as both are equally poisonous to the cause of Islam…Brothers and sisters, I have one thing to say: DON"T [sic] VOTE."

Over at Yid with Lid: Muslim Students Association:Don't Vote; Destroy (hat tip Jeff)

The Radical Islamic Movement in North America is not something that was created to fight Israeli "occupation" or US involvement in Iraq. The Muslim Student's Association (MSA) was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood of Palestine almost 45 years ago (the Muslim Brotherhood of Palestine morphed into Hamas).

One would think that MSA was the Muslim equivalent of Hillel, the international Jewish college group , which is famous for being a religious home away from home, creating holiday and Shabbos celebrations for Jewish Students (and in some cases they even create marriages-- friend of mine calls Hillel the intermarriage prevention group). The goals of the MSA are much more nefarious than matzo balls and shiddachs. Since its founding in 1963, the purpose of the MSA has been to turn the Muslim population of America into a radical Islamic population as Joe Kaufman describes here.

Nothing shows the true nature of the MSA than the way they are handling next week's election. Read the report below from IPT news and learn about the Islamofacists in our colleges:

MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD: Voter rolls stuffed with dead and absent registrants, "123% more Registered Voters than People Over 18"

James sent this, "This is "The Chicago Way". Get used to it    The corrupt, corrosive political process of Chicago is now national, and has come to a theatre near you. 

Thank Emanuel, Obama, Axlerod for this wonderful "gift" to our nation.  Trust me on this much:  It is a "gift" that will keep on giving for years to come. This  will be very hard to eradicate because this type of fraud, no matter how blatant, benefits some political party and its politicians. No matter the results of the election, America has lost this round".

  Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18.     "We have people who registered in 1965 who have never voted," she says.  "We have 486 people (registered who are) over 105."  (more here)

Voter rolls stuffed with dead and absent registrants By Bert Case

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Mississippi's voter situation is hard to believe. Places like Madison County have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18.

Sue Sautermeister, First District Election Commissioner in Madison County, tried to purge the rolls, but ran into trouble when it was discovered it takes a vote of three of the five election commissioners and the purge cannot take place within 90 days of a federal election.

Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann is the first to admit the situation with voter registration in this state is terrible.

"It is terrible," he says. "Combined with the fact that we don't have voter ID in Mississippi, anybody can show up at any poll that happens to know the people who have left town or died -- and go vote for them." "Whenever we have a third party determined by payment, for example, as they did in Benton County -- 'walking-around' money -- and they determine what that vote is going to be, they've taken your vote, whether they may have voted like you would have or not, they've still thwarted the process and they've still have taken your vote away from you," added Hosemann.m/p>

Sue Sautermeister is working hard in the First District of Madison County to start a purging of the voter rolls as soon after the election as possible. She has file drawers full of names of people who haven't voted in years and are known to be dead.

"We have people who registered in 1965 who have never voted," she says. "We have 486 people (registered who are) over 105."

Hosemann says 190,000 new voters have registered for this election and he believes the turnout will be historic.

UPDATE: Yitro in the comment section:

This fraud matters. I live in WA state. In 2004 ACORN registered 40,000 new voters (a fraction of what they currently are doing). Of those 40K, they only caught 1,800 fraudulent ones. The Dem became Gov on the 3rd recount by 133 votes. Dead people voted, felons voted and illegals voted. Someone (I am serious) in the DOJ needs to get Bush to declare the election on hold pending the investigation of....voter fraud...campaign finance fraud and economic terrorism (the not so coincidental timing of the credit market-stock market crash).

OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN BOGUS CAMPAIGN FRAUD RESPONSE

I have reviewed Mccain's donations and they are so clean you could eat off 'em. Over at My Right Word:

Lawyers for the Obama operation said yesterday that their "extensive back-end review" has carefully scrubbed contributions to prevent illegal money from entering the operation's war chest. "I'm pretty sure if I took my error rate and matched it against any other campaign or comparable nonprofit, you'd find we're doing very well," said Robert Bauer, a lawyer for the campaign. "I have not seen the McCain compliance staff ascending to heaven on a cloud."

When Bauer says they have "carefully scrubbed contributions" (they've scrubbed the web of anti- Obama sites, birth certificate images etc - we we know they are good at it) - what is he saying.

Obama has scrubbed the donation files of Obama's Gaza $33,000 contributions from Edwan, Hossam, and Osama - without having returned the jihad dough. What exactly does Bauer mean when he says they've scrubbed the records? These donations just ............... disappeared.

Election lawyer Brett Kappel said the FEC has never grappled with the question of cash cards. "The whole system is set up for them to accept the payment, then determine whether it is legal or not. And if it's not, send it back. That's what the statute requires," he said. (Washington Post)

Cathy adds, "That is not what the Obama campaign does.  The FEC has asked for response on contributions back to 2007 repeatedly and the campaign does NOT resolve them.    

See below from the FEC August 08 Request for Information.  There are 189 pages with approximately 30 donors per page that the FEC is questioning.  Over 5,500 donations.  The FEC has been questioning some of the donations for well over a year.

JOHN, TAKE OFF THE GLOVES!

Good new McCain video here - but he needs to work on a video of what the truths being withheld from the American people is.

Obama’s 2007 Senate Floor Commitment to an `Egalitarian Society’  By Marinka Peschmann

Senator Barack Obama is committed for America to be an “egalitarian society.” What? Obama hasn’t told Americans about that commitment on the campaign trail to the White House but it’s true. And this time Obama cannot attack Joe the plumber for exposing his socialist plans for America.

You see, Obama proclaimed his commitment to being an egalitarian society; which in some circles is described as the holy grail of socialism--last year on the U.S. Senate floor when he introduced the Citizenship Promotion Act, S. 795.

Here’s what Obama told his Senate colleagues on March 7, 2007: “Let’s stop sending mixed messages.

Let’s work together and set immigration fees at a level that are fair and consistent with our commitment to being an open, democratic, and egalitarian society.” (italics mine)

Obama’s “egalitarian society” commitment is a clear statement that defines his intentions for “change” if he is elected President of the United States. 

Where to begin?

Read it all. [Link fixed]
 

This election is not about race, it’s about freedom. Americans have a clear choice.  Do they want to live in Obama’s egalitarianism idea of utopia or live in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave that the Founding Fathers intended?  Vote on November 4.

'OBAMA! Inshallah!"

Amir Taheri explains why Muslims see Barack Hussein as one of them, not that Atlas readers couldn't write this one in their sleep but Taheri is quoting Muslims here:

OBAMA & THE ARABS WHY MUSLIMS SEE HIM AS ONE OF THEM NY Post

'OBAMA! Inshallah!" -Obama! Allah willing! That slogan, scribbled on walls in Gaza, indicates the hopes that Barack Obamahas inspired among Arabs.

While Obama has tried to push his origins into the background, his "Islamic roots" have won him a place in many Arabs' hearts.

One columnist, Mohamed Al-Menshawi, hails Obama as "the candidate with Muslim roots" and as the "harbinger of solidarity between Americans and the Muslim world."

Another, Al-Jazeera's Aala al-Bayoumi, notes: "Had it not been for Obama, Arabs would not even bother to follow the US presidential race." What makes the difference is Obama's "Islamic and African roots."

Marwan Bishara hails Obama's "radical politics": "

For the US to vote in an African-American progressive liberal would certainly mark a departure from the hyper and violent conservatism of the Bush-McCain camp," he writes. An Obama presidency "would be better for both the US and the Arab world."

Obama especially appeals to pan-Arab nationalists angry at the United States for having ousted Saddam Hussein. Obama's promise to leave Iraq gives pan-Arabs their only chance (albeit slim) to destroy the new Iraqi democracy.

While radical Arabs, including the Hamas leadership, favor Obama, most Arab officials are wary of him. They fear his inexperience and leftist connections might destroy all that has been gained in Iraq, provoke a bigger mess in Afghanistan, trigger a war with Pakistan and open the way for Khomeinist hegemony in the region.

Note that Obama wouldn't be the first politician with Muslim roots to lead a major non-Muslim country.

THE WHITE HOUSE: Home sweet home?

From a modest housing estate, Obama's stepmother celebrates ahead of time and gets ready for the White House The Telegraph hat tip wolf

Obama's stepmother, Kezia Obama says there is no doubt Barack will win the election

A modest housing estate in Berkshire is a far cry from the ostentatious grounds of the White House.

But Barack Obama's stepmother could be heading to the famous address if he clinches his predicted victory in seven days' time.

Kezia Obama, who lives in an end of terrace home in Bracknell, said she is already planning her trip to the US for his inauguration.

In an exclusive interview with the London Evening Standard newspaper, the 65-year-old said she was gearing up for his win by getting together with his relatives in Kenya  -  who will be throwing a street party on the day of the election.

The pensioner added she could not wait to see the presidential candidate claim victory and help improve America's relations with the rest of the world.

Mrs Obama was married to the Democratic hopeful's father, also named Barack, when they lived in their homeland of Kenya.

He then went on to marry two more women, Mr Obama's mother Ann Dunham  -  an American he met during a scholarship to the United States  -  and an American teacher called Ruth. He eventually went back to his first wife, with whom he had four children.

After his father's death, Mr Obama, aged 21, went to Kenya and met his sister, brothers and stepmother for the first time.

Mrs Obama, who moved to Britain six years ago, now takes pride of place at special family gatherings and was invited to celebrate Mr Obama's inauguration as US senator in 2004.

Twas the night ......

Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

' On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi'
He screamed at the pairs! 

(hat tip Laura)

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FAKESTINIAN KING SOLOMON'S MINES DISCOVERED!

While Islamic jihad furiously destroys the greatest archaeological sites in the world to erase any evidence of the Jewish state and her scrappy people, the evidence continues to overwhelm. Tell that to the Muslims that went to bed in 1967 as Trans Jordanians and woke up (VOILA!) "Paleostinians"

Archeologists confirm existence of Solomon's copper mines Israel Today (A Chirstian site!)

Archeologists working south of the Dead Sea in present-day Jordan have dated a massive copper mine and processing facility to the time of King Solomon, reported the Associated Press.

Research at the site in the 1970s and 1980s mistakenly dated its origin as a copper production facility to the 7th century BC, some three hundred years after Solomon's time.

Uh, who said that. scratching mine keppy.

But this time around archeologists dug deeper, and confirmed that the mine was in active use already in the 10th century BC, around the time that the Bible records King Solomon consolidating his expanded kingdom and successfully extracting and trading its natural resources.

One of the dig's leaders, Thomas Levy of the University of California, San Diego, said that while he doesn't "believe everything ancient writings tell us...this research represents a confluence between archeological and scientific data and the Bible."

YIKES! All you atheists, watch out!

OT BUT RELATED: [Arab Muslims, OTOH, systematically destroy ancient sites and artifacts to insure no proof remains of territorial claims.

For a number of years already, there is the selected destruction of Christian/Jewish artifacts which is of course the center for Jewish/Christian religion. On the temple mount, King Solomon stables up to the cruaders on...........when the taliban destroyed the buddas in Afghanistan all the world was corrextly enraged. Here we see the systematic, the biggest maybe in the history of geology/archeology, destruction of the most important artifacts  for Christianity and Judaism. And the world knows nothing of this.

Nobody is permitted to go and see and watch whats happening. Excavators are working there. They are taking thousands and thousands of pounds and thousands of artifacts and simply thrown out. It is perhaps one the largest archeological catastrophes in history. (Atlas Shrugs, June 2006, February 19, 2007, November 2007)

Ohio homeless are being allowed to use park benches addresses to vote.

The vote of the  men and women fighting, dying for our way of life, for the free speech of traitors, moochers, looters and degenerates .............. won't count.

And the disenfranchised vote three, four, five times. Early voting, absentee voting, and voting day voting. MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD (here).

Ballots from U.S. troops  being discarded hat tip never forget

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- As absentee ballots pour in from U.S. troops overseas ..... many of those votes won't be counted.

"It's dismal," said Rosemary Rodriguez, who works for the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission, a non-partisan group. "These are the voters that are in some cases preserving our liberties and out there with their lives on the line."

Rodriguez estimates that in the last general election, only about 30 percent of overseas military ballots were actually returned and counted.

"It's disenfranchising our military and frankly I think it's very unpatriotic," said retired Navy Lt. Melissa Cox Boss.

Bush aides and Republican surrogates blasted their Democratic rivals for having overseas absentee ballots disqualified in Florida counties, many for lack of postmarks. Many of those ballots were presumed to have been from service members supporting Bush.

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED FROM BEING AN AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTY.  THEY SHOULD BE ON THE FRINGES OF THE BALLOT LIKE THE COMMIE PARTY (oh, that's right, they are the commie party). I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY SERVE BUT IT IS NOT AMERICA.

OBAMA LIKENS US TO NAZI GERMANY: DER FUHRER WOULD KNOW

Obama would know, Mein  Fuhrer is  huge in Germany.

Here is the link to Obama's Nazi rant.

OBAMA LIKENS U.S. TO NAZI GERMANY (Trafalgar)

In a radio interview in 2001, Barack Obama likened the United States to Nazi Germany.  The shocking statement was made in the same interview in which he lamented the "great tragedy" that the courts could not spread wealth through "redistributive change."

The web site Little Green Footballs broke the scoop that Obama compares the "doctrines of Nazism…to what we have going on, back here at home." The remark came during a discussion of the United States at the time of Brown vs. The Board of Education.

Obama said, "…just to take a, sort of a realist perspective…there's a lot of change going on outside of the Court, um, that, that judges essentially have to take judicial notice of.  I mean you've got World War II, you've got uh, uh, uh, the doctrines of Nazism, that, that we are fighting against, that start looking uncomfortably similar to what we have going on, back here at home."

Senator Obama did not offer his critique of Nazism in July, when he spoke in Berlin to 200,00 cheering Germans in front of Hitler's Victory Column. Instead, he criticized America for actions that "have not lived up to our best intentions."

The audio can be found here here, listed as January 18, 2001, The Court and Civil Rights.

IRAN'S NUKES! NUCLEAR THEFT! "Dangerously naive" Obambi say, nothing to see here folks keep moving

Just some Republican fear mongering!And now Sarkozy mongering too (zee fwench no less!). French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran (more here)

Is it any wonder that Obambi has been endorsd by the Muslim world and Ahmadinejad and Qaddafi, and Hamas and Gazans?

Sources: Sarkozy views Obama stance on Iran as 'utterly immature'  Haaretz hat tip Amaros

Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."

Obama visited Paris in July, and the Iranian issue was at the heart of his meeting with Sarkozy. At a joint press conference afterward, Obama urged Iran to accept the West's proposal on its nuclear program, saying that Iran was creating a serious situation that endangered both Israel and the West.

According to the reports reaching Israel, Sarkozy told Obama at that meeting that if the new American president elected in November changed his country's policy toward Iran, that would be "very problematic."

ElBaradei Warns of Nuclear Thefts (hat tip buff)

There were close to 250 thefts of nuclear and radioactive material in a 12-month period that ended in June, a figure International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohamed ElBaradei yesterday called “disturbingly high,” the New York Times reported (see GSN, Sept. 29).

“The possibility of terrorists obtaining nuclear or other radioactive material remains a grave threat,” ElBaradei said in an address to the U.N. General Assembly.  “Equally troubling is the fact that much of this material is not subsequently recovered.”

And that from El Baradei, every  rogue nuclear regime's best friend.

OBAMA SCAMS HERITAGE FOUNDATION: CALLS ON OBAMA AD LIES, USES "HERITAGE ENDORSEMENT"

As you may have seen on TV, the Obama campaign is running an ad implying that Heritage supports its tax plan. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Today they sent a letter asking Obama to immediately pull these false ads. Obama taqiya - get used to it.

Heritage Calls on Obama to Pull False Ads

The Heritage Foundation today asked Barack Obama to immediately pull two ads that misrepresent the views of Heritage’s Rea Hederman. The campaign has released a 30-second TV ad with false information and repeats it on the campaign website. The following letter was sent by Heritage lawyer Alan P. Dye to the Obama campaign:

Dear Senator Obama:

Two recent campaign advertisements seriously misrepresent the views of my client, The Heritage Foundation. They suggest, quite falsely, that The Heritage Foundation and one of its analysts support your tax plan.

The print ad on your Website as well as your ad entitled “Try This” reference a quote from policy analyst Rea Hederman. In fact, Mr. Hederman never said what is quoted there. Rather, the words you quote are from a New York Sun reporter who interviewed Mr. Hederman and summarized his views erroneously.

That the reporter’s summary is erroneous is evident from the actual quotes from Mr. Hederman presented in the article, which make it quite clear that Mr. Hederman believes your tax plan would be bad not only for the country, but for the middle class. By omitting the direct quotes from Heritage that are contained in the article and attributing to Heritage a conflicting statement not made by its analyst, the advertisement appears to be an intentional attempt to misleadspan>

Surely there can be no doubt within your campaign as to how Heritage truly views your tax plan. When one of your economic advisors, Jeffrey Liebman, made this same misrepresentation in a September 4, 2008 letter to The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hederman promptly sent a corrective and very public letter. It appeared in the September 16 issue of The Wall Street Journal under the title: “A Bad Plan That Is Less Bad Is Still Not A Very Good Plan.” In it, Mr. Hederman strenuously decried Mr. Liebman’s blatant misrepresentation and set the record straight. span

ATLAS SHRUGS: THE GREAT REVERSE SCHLEP

Nisra Poller and I will be making appearancews presenting The Case against Obama: LETHAL FOR ISRAEL

The media is withholding the evidence of Obama's past. They refuse to publish the truth about Obama. The LA Times  is Hiding Incriminating Video of Obama with Radical Palestinian. Khalidi, Ayers and Dohrn

Obama has received millions of dollars of foreign money. Contributions from Gaza, a Hamas controlled camp ... a million from Qaddafi and across the Muslim world. They are electioneering for him illegally in mosques across America. Unindicted co-conspirator and US front for the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR

The presentation—which will include a ten minute video—focuses on critical aspects of Obama’s ideology and longstanding alliances that the mainstream media have chosen to ignore, or whitewash, most notably:

His intimate, self-admittedly formative, and longstanding relationships and alliances with Marxist, Anti-Zionist, and Antisemitic ideologues, both religious, and lay, particularly Franklin Marshall Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, and Rashid Khalidi

His endorsements by the most radical Jew-annihilationist elements of the Muslim world

Obama’s stated belief that Jew annihilationist terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, “have legitimate grievances.”

The shared view of Obama and his running mate Biden that Iran—despite its repeated genocidal threats to Israel—be appeased, as represented by their joint opposition to a Congressional Resolution designating Iran’s murderous Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, as well as Obama’s stated willingness to negotiate face to face with Iranian President Ahmadinejad, absent any pre-conditions. are on a reverse shlep to Florida to get the truth to the Jews before its too late.

While the potentially fraudulent or excessive contributions represent about 1 percent of Obama's staggering haul, the security challenge is one of several major campaign-finance-related questions raised by the Democrat's fundraising juggernaut.

Reich Man, Wrong Address   [Mark Steyn]

After my post this morning about a Mr A Hitler of "#1 Reichstag Building, Berlin, Germany" joining Saddam Hussein et al as an enthusiastic contributor to the Obama campaign, several readers wrote to point out that Herr Hitler's obviously fake address should have rung alarm bells with the Senator's supposedly vast army of offline fraud checkers. Apparently, the Fuhrer's correct billing address for his MasterCard should have been not "#1 Reichstag Building", but the Reichskanzlei at Wilhelmstrasse 77.

Well, okay. But just so long as he doesn't try voting twice using his vacation pad at Berchtesgaden.

Incidentally, my only claim to expertise in this Obama scam is that, as an online retailer myself (though sadly on a much reduced scale from the Messiah), I know that the "explanations" for the fraud that the campaign is offering are bunk. But I'm also struck by the remarkable lack of curiosity displayed by the Washington Post and New York Times reporters on this story. Their legwork consists of calling the Obama guys, getting a blandly evasive quote, and then pronouncing: "Case closed." By contrast, look at this list of posts over at Atlas Shrugged, all from one website, and then ponder what, say, a Times investigative team might uncover if they looked into it. Which is presumably why they don't.

 

OBAMA DESECRATES THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES

OBAMA DESECRATES THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES (Trafalgar)

Senator Obama’s web site contains a subliminal visual image that radically alters the Great Seal of the United States, and superimposes his logo over the symbol of the flag.

The Great Seal of the United States dates back to 1782 and is the official coat of arms of the United States.  It appears on the back of every dollar bill. You can see it here.

Senator Obama’s Great Seal, which appears subtly in the background as his website loads, is fundamentally different. You can see Obama's Great Seal here.

Here are some of the differences.

• - The Great Seal of the U.S. features a bald eagle in repose, clutching an olive branch and arrows. The image is strong, confident, symmetrical and centered. 
• Obama’s Great Seal features a bald eagle in panicky flight, racing off screen. The image is off-kilter, chaotic and in motion.
• - The U.S. eagle faces forward. Obama’s eagle faces backwards, turning away from the viewer in its hasty retreat.
• - The U.S. eagle clutches an olive branch in one talon and a set of arrows in the other. It turns towards the olive branch, signifying America’s preference for peace but readiness for war.

Obama’s eagle drops the olive branch, whose leaves scatter as it flies away. Only one arrow remains. It pierces the center of the eagle’s shield.

• - The U.S. Seal features a shield emblazoned in the eagle’s center, symbolizing the American flag.
• Obama’s flag shield is off-balance, tilting beneath the retreating eagle. The flag shield is no longer the dominant visual motif. It has been superseded by the Obama logo of the rising sun.
• - The overall visual effect of the Great Seal of the United States is one of power, confidence and a nation at ease with its own identity.

The overall effect of Obama’s Great Seal is of confusion, disarray, and a New World Order arising from Obama’s ascending sun. The tilted lines of the shield subtly suggest the famous images of the steel girder ruins of the World Trade Center. It is as if Obama’s sun is rising over the wreckage, heralding the flight of the American eagle and a new era of radical upheaval.

Obama has made a practice of tampering with and disrespecting American symbols. He designed his own Presidential seal, painted over the American flag on his campaign jet and replaced it with his logo, and left thousands of American flags in the trash after the Democratic convention.

UPDATE: I know he thinks he is above the law, but he is breaking the law:

Cornell University Law school website: (hat tip Tom)

§ 713. Use of likenesses of the great seal of the United States, the seals of the President and Vice President, the seal of the United States Senate, the seal of the United States House of Representatives, and the seal of the United States Congress

THE DEMOCRATS TAKE OFF THE MASK: IF YOU LOVE AMERICA, YOU ARE THE ENEMY,ASK JOSH MANDEL

Watch this. NOW. Ohio Democrats attacks Josh Mandel's Iraq War military service.

The hate America party has taken its mask off. If Josh Mandel (check out the Jewish remark in the video) doesn't take it in a landslide, I'll blame voter fraud. No American would support this suicidal bile.

Iraq War vet’s service attacked in Ohio campaign Joel Mowbray (hat tip Dave)

When Josh Mandel got a call from the Marines last year asking him to return voluntarily to Iraq, he had much more to contemplate than when he first enlisted in 2000. He had just been elected to the Ohio state legislature. Family considerations were also important to him. He ultimately decided to serve a second tour in Iraq “because I didn’t join the Marine Corps to say no when my country called,” Mr. Mandel explains.

Of all the factors he weighed, Mr. Mandel says political concerns were not among them. Now he has been forced to deal with the politics of that decision. The opponent in his tough re-election fight, trial attorney Bob Belovich, is attacking Mr. Mandel’s service, arguing that he abandoned voters. Mr. Belovich’s wife, Barbara, acknowledged in an interview for this column that she has told voters that Mr. Mandel “went AWOL” (a military term for desertion) by fighting in Iraq.

Even Mr. Mandel’s motives for serving in Iraq are being questioned. Mrs. Belovich claimed in an interview with this columnist that Mandel “put his personal ambitions ahead of his constituents.” Asked why anyone would enter a war zone out of “personal ambition,” Barbara Belovich replied curtly, “Certainly he wasn’t serving our needs.”

UPDATE: China Confidential is all over it

CAMPAIGN FINANCE FRAUD: OBAMA'S LATEST RUSE, DEFLECT/RUN

I am not sure if you've seen this incredible giant lie that Obama belched today but I will tell you one thing, It is indicative of the utter contempt Obama has for the truth, the American people and the election  laws.

The campaign fraud perpetrated by Obama is on a scale difficult to fathom (well documented here). He believes he is above the law perhaps as a result of his narcissism.

His claim that McCain received excessive donations is laughable. This is how Obama deflects allegations, he just throws them back at McCain knowing full well the media will happily do his dirty work. I wrote of this very thing at American Thinker a couple of months ago.

Obama's bots said, “Analysis of the information ... shows that the McCain Campaign has received 6,653 contributions each of which was at least $1,000 in excess of the applicable $2,300 limit to the primary campaign,” - this is a ruse. The standard procedure is to "redesignate" any excess over the $2,300 from the primary campaign to the general election. Here is one quick look at Obama's donations that are over the limit (the Palestinian donation is in there, never returned despite Obama's fabrication that it was - click to enlarge).

Tens of thousands of Obama donations have been over the limit  the campaigns simply "redesignate' the funds to a diffferent campaign, another  fund, a move from the primary to the general race, Every page of Obama's - sometimes pages on one donor alone - are rife with "redesignations".  Here is a long list of "redesignations" on one donor from Geneva - there are hundreds, thousands of examples like "John Blair" (click to enlarge".

Obama notoriously redesignates bucco bucks to his new Obama Victory Fund, created June 2008.  There is a 28,500.00 cap per donor since it is a National Party fund. The Obama Victory Fund disbursed a million and a half dollars to "other party Committees" in July.

The Committee for Change, created in mid-July, has become a vehicle for ultra-rich Democratic donors to distinguish themselves from the 3.1 million others who have put $600 million behind Obama's presidential candidacy.

"We kept running into donors who had maxed out to Obama Victory who wanted to do additional money and had the capacity to do it and were eager to do it," said Alan Kessler, a Philadelphia lawyer who recently held a fundraiser for the committee. "They asked if there were vehicles and other ways to do it, and we said yes."

The committee, which has been routing millions of dollars directly to state party accounts and will help fuel Obama's field operations, represents the flip side of the grass-roots fundraising effort that helped turn Obama into the most successful money-raiser in presidential campaign history.(more here)

Obama opted out of public financing despite promises not to do that. BHO became the $600 million man after opting out of the public financing system for presidential candidates, has become Exhibit A for experts concerned that the system is on its last legs. At the least, they say, the massive money Obama has raised ($186 million since Sept. 1 brought his total to more than $600 million) shows why the system is due for a major overhaul. How much of  Obama's haul is shady, illegal and foreign is hard to estimate but we have uncovered enormous illegal activity and that's just me and a couple of intrepid Atlas readers. By opting out of the system, Obama has been unfettered by spending limits. By staying in the system, GOP nominee John McCain is limited to the $84.1 million provided by the government.

McCain got $7 million in excess donations: DNC  The Post (hat tip Jane)

WASHINGTON -- John McCain received nearly $7 million in 6,652 donations that exceeded contribution limits while seeking the Republican presidential nomination, the Democratic National Committee said Saturday.

This is laughable. They talk down to us. Outrageous.

The DNC listed the figure in a complaint it said it will file on Monday with the Federal Election Commission. The Republican National Committee filed a similar complaint on Oct. 5, alleging Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama had not done enough to weed out illegal contributions.

In a copy of the DNC posted on the Internet, the DNC said on Saturday it compiled its information by examining donations recorded on McCain’s campaign Web site.

“Analysis of the information ... shows that the McCain Campaign has received 6,653 contributions each of which was at least $1,000 in excess of the applicable $2,300 limit to the primary campaign,” the DNC complaint said. “Nineteen individuals contributed more then $10,000 each to the McCain Campaign — more than four times the limit,” said the document. It said the donations included one person who gave $56,047 and overall totaled “nearly $7 million.”

Check out the top screenshot of Obama's donors. "Redesignate" - here are the limits on various campaigns, committees, and special limits.

The complaint asked the election commission to investigate the matter. It also accuses the McCain campaign of accepting donations without getting the donors’ names and addresses.

This is a blatant lie. Try it. McCain's campaign is clean. You cannot make fraudulent donations like you can  with the Obama campaign. John Galt, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Ben Dover all donated without a problem. Further investigations is showing - real people's name are being used to "front" donations they did not make.

A spokesman for the McCain campaign was not immediately available for comment. On its Web site, the New York Times political blog quoted McCain spokesman Brain Rogers as saying the DNC complaint was a publicity stunt to distract attention from Obama’s “shady fund-raising practices.”

There is an understatement.

UPDATE: Slim guy  published a google docs spreadsheet with donation to the Joint Victory Fund that indicates all the donations which have gone over the cap of 28.5k at the end of September: GO HERE

Slim guy makes a valid point: "Was it a single whopper of a check [the McCain donation] one time that came in.

After all look at that lady that the BHO campaign had somebody use another credit card (not hers) and proxy donate 178K in her name.

If a bogus thing comes in Mc just can't ignore it and hope it goes away.  Until he can contact the donor he has to report the donation even if they believe it is bogus and they can note that on their submission.

The FEC even allows creation of a separate bank account to put questionable donations in till they are cleared do it doesn't commingle with valid donations."

Slim Guy in the comment sextion on the joint fund limits: "Really makes you wonder what they are doing if people can in a single donation to the Joint Fund with the DNC send in a donation of over 61k when the limit is 28.5k. Not only does that go over the cap for a donation to a Joint Fund but it may go over in a single donation the limits to all party committee donations for an individual."

UPDATE: Pelalusa caught John Batchelor's report on more questionable activity on foreign donations. Go here.

UPDATE: Dear Adolphe ...........Willkommen!

DEMAND THE LA TIMES RELEASE THE OBAMA VIDEO

The LA Times is refusing to release a video of the Jew hating event Obama hosted with pal and infamous Jew hater Rashid Khalidi, I am asking everyone at Atlas to contact the LA Times and implore them (nicely) to release the tape in keeping with their role as public servant (/sarc tag off) LA TIMES CONTACT: here.

They know not what they do. What is fascinating to me is the important, Jewish powerhouses  in Hollywood are not stepping up to the plate and demanding that the LA Times release the video or they will pull their entertainment advertising.

I am talking about men like Steven Spielberg who spent a large part of his fortune and career recording every witness to the Shoah. Fetishizing dead Jews. Someone ought to tell Spielberg  (and  Geffen, =Katzenberg, all of them) that his efforts are worthless if he has a hand in ushering in a President lethal for Israel and the Jews.

It was one thing for these guys to come out for Obama back in January 2007 when he was unknown. He is no longer unknown. Wright, Zbigniew, Farrakhan, Mansour, Powers, Rice, Ayers, et al. His allegiances are dangerous and fatal. You can avoid reality  but you cannot avoid  the consequences of avoiding reality. Movie moguls Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg (along with Soros of course) chose the Barack Hussein Obama, imposed him on the American people. The messed up. Big time.

These powerful and influential men should demand this video.

Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama LA Times (hat tip Randall)

CHICAGO -- It was a celebration of Palestinian culture -- a night of music, dancing and a dash of politics. Local Arab Americans were bidding farewell to Rashid Khalidi, an internationally known scholar, critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights, who was leaving town for a job in New York.

A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."

[...]

And yet the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor's going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say.

Their belief is not drawn from Obama's speeches or campaign literature, but from comments that some say Obama made in private and from his association with the Palestinian American community in his hometown of Chicago, including his presence at events where anger at Israeli and U.S. Middle East policy was freely expressed.

At Khalidi's 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace."

One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."

Obama adopted a different tone in his comments and called for finding common ground. But his presence at such events, as he worked to build a political base in Chicago, has led some Palestinian leaders to believe that he might deal differently with the Middle East than either of his opponents for the White House.

"I am confident that Barack Obama is more sympathetic to the position of ending the occupation than either of the other candidates," said Hussein Ibish, a senior fellow for the American Task Force on Palestine, referring to the Israeli presence in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that began after the 1967 war. More than his rivals for the White House, Ibish said, Obama sees a "moral imperative" in resolving the conflict and is most likely to apply pressure to both sides to make concessions.

"That's my personal opinion," Ibish said, "and I think it for a very large number of circumstantial reasons, and what he's said."

[...]

Obama also calls for the U.S. to talk to such declared enemies as Iran, Syria and Cuba. But he argues that the Palestinian militant organization Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip, is an exception, calling it a terrorist group that should renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist before dialogue begins. That viewpoint, which also matches current U.S. policy, clashes with that of many Palestinian advocates who urge the United States and Israel to treat Hamas as a partner in negotiations.

Hamas endorsed Obama.

"Barack's belief is that it's important to understand other points of view, even if you can't agree with them," said his longtime political strategist, David Axelrod.

I wonder if he would be so "understanding" if  something terrible happened directly to him, his family, his people.

Obama "can disagree without shunning or demonizing those with other views," he said. "That's far different than the suggestion that he somehow tailors his view."

Looking for clues

[...]

Last year, for example, Obama was quoted saying that "nobody's suffering more than the Palestinian people."

Jewish leaders were satisfied with Obama's explanation, but some Palestinian leaders, including Ibish, took the original quotation as a sign of the candidate's empathy for their plight.

Obama's willingness to befriend Palestinian Americans and to hear their views also impressed, and even excited, a community that says it does not often have the ear of the political establishment.

Among other community events, Obama in 1998 attended a speech by Edward Said, the late Columbia University professor and a leading intellectual in the Palestinian movement. According to a news account of the speech, Said called that day for a nonviolent campaign "against settlements, against Israeli apartheid."

The use of such language to describe Israel's policies has drawn vehement objection from Israel's defenders in the United States. A photo on the pro-Palestinian website the Electronic Intifada shows Obama and his wife, Michelle, engaged in conversation at the dinner table with Said, and later listening to Said's keynote address. Obama had taken an English class from Said as an undergraduate at Columbia University.

Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run Electronic Intifada, said that he met Obama several times at Palestinian and Arab American community events. At one, a 2000 fundraiser at a private home, Obama called for the U.S. to take an "even-handed" approach toward Israel, Abunimah wrote in an article on the website last year. He did not cite Obama's specific criticisms.

Abunimah, in a Times interview and on his website, said Obama seemed sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but more circumspect as he ran for the U.S. Senate in 2004. At a dinner gathering that year, Abunimah said, Obama greeted him warmly and said privately that he needed to speak cautiously about the Middle East.

Abunimah quoted Obama as saying that he was sorry he wasn't talking more about the Palestinian cause, but that his primary campaign had constrained what he could say.

[...]

In Chicago, one of Obama's friends was Khalidi, a highly visible figure in the Arab American community.

In the 1970s, when Khalidi taught at a university in Beirut, he often spoke to reporters on behalf of Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization . In the early 1990s, he advised the Palestinian delegation during peace negotiations. Khalidi now occupies a prestigious professorship of Arab studies at Columbia.

[...]

While teaching at the University of Chicago, Khalidi and his wife lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood near the Obamas. The families became friends and dinner companions.

In 2000, the Khalidis held a fundraiser for Obama's unsuccessful congressional bid. The next year, a social service group whose board was headed by Mona Khalidi received a $40,000 grant from a local charity, the Woods Fund of Chicago, when Obama served on the fund's board of directors.

At Khalidi's going-away party in 2003, the scholar lavished praise on Obama, telling the mostly Palestinian American crowd that the state senator deserved their help in winning a U.S. Senate seat. "You will not have a better senator under any circumstances," Khalidi said.

The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.

Though Khalidi has seen little of Sen. Obama in recent years, Michelle Obama attended a party several months ago celebrating the marriage of the Khalidis' daughter.

[...]

"He has family literally all over the world," Khalidi said. "I feel a kindred spirit from that."

Give up that tape.
