Comments on: Meet The Dream Ticket: Obama-Kerry '08

Weekly Standard: Candidate Needs Serious Running Mate; Besides, It'd Be Fun!

[pollroller1]

I don''t know about the rest of you Democrats, but I think I will be sitting this election out. Looks like to me that the Democrats have really shot themselves in the foot this time. Just this one old man''s humble opinion.

obama8years -- are you really saying that Obama is a member of Hamas?

Or are you just implying it in the hopes that people are so stupid that they''ll believe it?

Dean Barnett:

Are you out of your mind? You couldn''t find two worse candidates in the Democratic party!

I''m a flaming liberal DFH and that ticket would be enough to make me vote for McCain.

Obama ties to hamas

Tim Blumer did the work the MSM wouldn''t, and examined the back issues of the Trinity United Church of Christ''s Bulletin. One issue carried on the "Pastor''s Page" a pro-Hamas editorial by Mousa Abu Mazook, a high-ranking official of Hamas who has been implicated in terror attacks. He compares the Hamas Charter to the Declaration of Independence and calls for America to engage with Hamas and to pressure Israel .. The Charter of Hamas calls for the killing of Jews wherever they might live-Israel or beyond.


Of course the Obama campaign had to react to this latest revelation of scandal involving the views of his long-time "spiritual advisor" and "mentor" by issuing what has become a routine expression of outrage.


Ironically, in a separate press release, the campaign marked the holiday of Jewish Purim. The irony is because Hamas calls for the destruction of Jews everywhere, and Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from the plot of the Persian ruler Haman''s plot to annihilate them.


Then again, Barack Obama advocates outreach to Iran (modern day Persia) an engagement that will confer prestige on a regime that plans for the annihilation of the Jewish people. Haman has returned, and his name is now Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Louis Farakahns ties

In working with the Saudi funded Muslim Students Association in campuses across the US, the ISM has managed to cloud the image among American youth through disinformation and propaganda campaigns against Jews and Israel in order to try and make American students believe Israel is an apartheid state like South Africa was in the 1980s. At the same time, these same Palestinian groups like Al Awda insist the West Bank and Gaza must be Jew-free. Since this campaign has been largely successful in organizing anti-Israel attitudes on campuses all over America, and since Jewish organizations in America have been slow to react, the ISM moved on to another program to do the same thing only this time alienating US churches, particularly evangelical churches that have a long-term sense of Biblical support for the Jewish state. Thus was born the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theological Society created as part of the ISM to do in US churches what various ISM groups succeeded to do in American colleges.

At the same time, a foothold already existed to a small degree in the American black religious community such as is led by Louis Farrakhan.

Obama ties to hamas

If Barack Obama didn%u2019t know about Abunimah%u2019s writings (and Abunimah says he did), the same as his claims of being unaware of Reverend Wright%u2019s remarks after 20 years, then Obama is not competent to be our President. Abunimah likes to lie and claim Al Awda has nothing to do with the ISM or Electronic Intifada, though plenty of evidence exists on the website the homepage at www.StoptheISM.com showing the contrary.

But Obama%u2019s association with the ISM through his church and lobbying in Chicago goes even deeper than just his past links to Al Awda and Ali Abunimah. His pastor, Jeremiah Wright, and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, are both equally involved with the ISM.

[obama8years]

Obama ties to hamas

an article has appeared on the ISM affiliated website Electronic Intifada (EI) by one of its co-founders, Ali Abunimah, in which Abumimah recounts his close past working relationship with Obama prior to the presidential campaign and how Abunimah believes Obama is merely giving lip service to the Jewish community to get elected, and that once in office he will work for the Palestinian cause. Abunimah lists himself and is mentioned in subsequent Obama articles in the mainstream press merely as a %u201CPalestinian activist.%u201D Abunimah insists that Obama will %u201Ccome around%u201D once elected.

But Ali Abunimah is more than just some %u201CPalestinian activist%u201D based in Chicago, the same location as Reverend Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ. He is, in fact, one of the founders of the fiercely anti-Semitic ISM Arab group Al Awda, the Palestine Right of Return Coalition. Abunimah is a high level international leader of the ISM for the Arabs who travels extensively between Chicago, Europe and Ramallah.

Instead of posting:

"Obama said he landed on the moon!! -- Liar!! NASA never said you were on the moon!!"


Why don''t you post something like:

In the Washington Post on April 6, 2008, Obama was quoted as saying, "If you live out here in big sky country, I know you believe in civil liberties."

and then post your rebuttal.

Is it because you can''t prove you allegations?




And in regards to you post at 9:23, are you really saying that Obama is a member of Hamas?

Or are you just implying it in the hopes that people are so stupid that they''ll believe it?

[obama8years]

How many Obama%u2019s does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None%u2026%u2026%u2026they can%u2019t do it%u2026%u2026%u2026they just stand around in the dark saying YES WE CAN,
YES WE CAN,I HAVE HOPE,WE CAN CHANGE,THE LIGHTBULB.

[righter5]

you have got to be joking. obama/kerry??? i do not trust either one of them period. the only reason obama is where he is today is two words--OPRAH WINFREY--THAT IS IT!!!! i had never heard of him before. i personally think celebrities should keep their opinions to themselves--but this currently is a free country. my opinion is obama does not have any experience in anything. again, i do not trust him. this is only my opinion. i would like to know how many agree with me. please state your opinion. obama says "change". but, he does not say how. and, after 20 years at the same church, he did not know what his pastor??? was like? again, he is only where he is because of oprah. paulette5

[obama8years]

From %u201CDREAMS OF MY FATHER%u201D book By Barack Obama:
%u201CThere was something about him that made me wary,%u201D Obama wrote. %u201CA little too sure of
himself, maybe. And white.%u201D
%u201CI ceased to advertise my mother%u2019s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect
that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites%u201D
%u201CI Will Stand With The Muslims Should The Political Winds Shift In An Ugly Direction.%u201D

%u201CAs I%u2019ve said about the flag pin, I don%u2019t want to be perceived as taking sides,%u201D Obama said.
%u201CThere are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.
And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all.
It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song %u2018I%u2019d Like
to Teach the World to Sing.%u2019 If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.%u201D

%u201CI can no more disown him (Wright) than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me,
a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves
anything in this world%u201D.

Said his grandmother is a %u201Ctypical white person%u201D who has fears about black men.

But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama%u2019s presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the center%u2019s totals.

Two of Obama%u2019s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co.

64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama %u2014 the day after sitting for the interview %u2014 filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama%u2019s own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey

65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama%u2019s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to label Obama the %u201Cblack%u201D candidate. Read more here

66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians. Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama doesn%u2019t take money from PACs. He also doesn%u2019t take money from lobbyists.

[obama8years]

63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008] You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?

[obama8years]

60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.

61.) My wife didn%u2019t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - LIAR. Again, MicHELLe%u2019s comments perfectly sync with Wright%u2019s, Meeks%u2019, and Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.

62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren%u2019t there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.

[obama8years]

56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.

57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free to be taken over by special interests such as him.

58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright%u2019s, that have been in videos all day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said %u201CDid I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.%u201D

59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton%u2019s and McCain%u2019s more than a year before!

[obama8years]

53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko%u2019s wife buys the lot beside it that you can%u2019t afford, saving you $625,000.

54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu ($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it%u2019s $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.

55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.

[obama8years]

46.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - LIAR, your plan leaves us all to pay the 15,000,000 who don%u2019t have to buy it.

47.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail - LIAR, both companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no record of any such letter ever being created or sent.

48.) I Am As Patriotic As Anyone - LIAR, you won%u2019t wear a flag pin and you don%u2019t put your hand over your heart during the Anthem.

49.) My Wife Didn%u2019t Mean What She Said About Pride In Country - LIAR, your wife%u2019s words follow lock-step in the vein of Wright and Farrahkan, in relation to their contempt and hatred of America.

50.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn%u2019t Support - LIAR, your wife has received nearly a quater of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.

51.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - LIAR, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.

52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - LIAR, your wife%u2019s pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!

[obama8years]

38.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - LIAR, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

39.) I Don%u2019t Take PAC Money - LIAR, you take loads of it.

40.) I don%u2019t Have Lobbysists - LIAR, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.

41.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad - LIAR, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.

42.) My Campaign Never Took Over MySpace - LIAR, Tom, who started MySpace issued a warning about this advertising to MySpace clients.

43.) I Inspire People With My Words - LIAR, you inspire people with other people%u2019s words.

44.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate - LIAR, you have passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate - for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities.

45.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq - LIAR, you weren%u2019t in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting you Obama. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date - AGAIN.
