Pfleger's endorsement removed from Obama website

This is from a cached version of the Official Obama website endorsement page. Like the New Black Panther's and Reverend Wright's endorsements, Father Michael Pfleger's was removed after he said the same thing obama has heard before. But Pfleger had the poor judgment to speak aloud from wright's pulpit. It was a calculated move to get his 2 cents in. They have know each other for years. Father Pfleger is a well-known activist in Chicago. Nothing happens to him because he has turned around the parish and there aren't any priests to take his place. He really never was sanctioned by Cardinal George to the dismay of many Chicago catholics. He just made Pfleger promise not to say anything political anymore...meaning till after obama is elected. The outright double standard is appalling. But, hey, America has come along way so whatever it takes to get a black man in office - no problem. And who got edged out? That rich white lady who is more qualified to be commander in chief than he will ever be. Race over gender. Always.

Father Michael Pfleger
Senior Pastor, St. Sabina Church, Chicago, IL
I'm concerned by issues of poverty and issues of justice and equal access and opportunity especially when dealing with children and education and healthcare. Also, the war in Iraq is non-negotiable: end it! The faith community has to be a prophetic voice to bring us to where we ought to be as a country. Its voice should call every individual to be their best and not assimilate into anything less. Obama is calling back those who have given up and lost hope in the political system both young and old in the belief that we can fix it. He has the intellect for the job and I haven't heard anyone since Robert F. Kennedy who is causing such an emotional and spiritual awakening to the political possibilities.

'WE' reflects his connection to Obama and understanding that he will have a part in the administration. They have known each other since obama's community organizer days. They have been personal friends and their relationship includes Dick Durbin, Reverend Wright and Mayor Daley. And in September 2007, Pfleger hosted one of several interfaith forums in Iowa at the bequest of the official Obama campaign and was a member of Obama's official presidential campaign's Catholics for America Advisory Committee . He had to step down after his first rant from wright's pulpit about defending him and louis farrakhan. But his endorsement didn't get scrubbed until he ranted about Hillary and the pro-obama MSM couldn't not cover it. What if there were no YouTube? It would be a complete por-barry propaganda state.

Obama obamantes on Pfleger rant

The standard 'I got caught but now I didn't mean it' statements where I don't apologize for anything and Hillary bashing goes unpunished.

May 29, 2008
PFLEGER: I regret the words I chose [not the message behind them] on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message, [then why didn't barry say so?] and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them.

IF does not equal an apology.

OBAMA: As I have traveled this country, I've been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that that unites us. That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause.

Classic obamanating. Where in there is a personal disavowal or disgust? Nobody cares. Remember the I could no more reject Wright as I could my typical white person grandmother? "I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy and, in some cases, pain."

Only the statements wright got caught saying. Not wright's afrocentric black liberation that he spouted from the pulpit at barry's church. Not the man himself. Not the judgment he made to pick that pastor and that church. Not the judgment that it took him so long to cut wright loose from an official campaign appointment. N0t the judgment that he chose to lie about.

(3-14-08) "Once I saw them I had to be very clear about the fact that these are not statements that I am comfortable with. I reject them completely -- they are not ones that reflect my values or my ideals or Michelle's."

Philly speech (3-18-2008): Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes.

Previous statement by Barry on March 13th (a day before Obama had to dismiss him from his official campaign position): "I don't think that, uh, my church is actually particularly controversial." And previously he said "Rev Wright is like an old uncle who says things I don't agree with."

Philly speech: Not once in my conversations with him [Obamanating = uncorrobative] have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect.

Where is cringing in response to wright's statements that he says he knew about - the ones he said he wouldn't go back because of ? It took three attempts to finally get rid of Wright - which he never repudiated until the Press Club performance where Wright said all the same things and more. what kind of judgment was it to let him speak? This episode with Pfleger happened after he "distanced" himself from wright. Pfleger was there at the press clube. he saw what happened to wright and ranted from the pulpit anyway. and did barry cringe? Nope. He obamanated like he did with farrakhan.

US Senator from Illinois and longtime friend and staunch supporter of barry, DICK DURBIN: "Mike is a friend and he went overboard." No admission that it was wrong. No repudiation. Just that he took it a little too far and it happened to reach the MSM.

WOLFSON: Divisive and hateful language like that is totally counterproductive in our efforts to bring our party together and have no place at the pulpit or in our politics. We are disappointed that Senator Obama didn't specifically reject Father's Pfleger's despicable comments about Senator Clinton, and assume he will do so."

Did he? Nope. Did the MSM push him? No. Did the barry surrogate Hillary bashing go unpunished again? Yep. Just like it did with 'Hillary ain't never been called no nigger." Said after barry appointed him to official campaign position and yet it took till 3-14 to get rid of him. barry is a fraud. I am going on record again. He is a fraud and I am not fooled by him. I can't stop him but I haven't been sucked under or drank the Kool-Aid of white guilt and black silence. Whatever happens is on the head of the DNC, the pro-obama MSM, axelrod, obama supporters and the obamas.

This woman is supposed to have won a Pulitzer Prize. I find that hard to believe. She tries to pass herself off as witty with literary references but it's obvious she tries to use certain words and devices like alliteration is completely forced. Her writing has no sound of truth.

Sexist quote of the day: "Hillary is a drunk party guest"

May 27, 2008
Morning Joe

Tucker Carlson refers to Sen Clinton as a "trapped animal" & "she's in feral mode" & "a drunk party guest". This man has a very strange fascination with her...he is afraid of being castrated and is intent on sharing that every opportunity he gets. Take note of the laughing. And that Tucker admits the media's in the bag.


Transcript via Media Matters (emphasis mine)

BARNICLE: Let's get back to Senator Clinton. What about this aspect of her campaign: How much credence do you put in the theory that some hold that in her heart of hearts, as a political person, as a politician, she knows that this is it, in terms of her and the presidency, this is the last, best, only shot she's ever going to have at it?

CARLSON: Look, she's a trapped animal, there's absolutely no question about it. As I've thought to myself many times, if you've ever tried to get your cat in a box, you know what Hillary Clinton is doing right now. [Screeching cat noise], with all four paws out, all the hair standing up? Look, she is in feral mode.

BRZEZINSKI: I don't know what to say.

And you never say anything, especially sitting next to Joe Mrs Spitzer-like when Joe said Matthews didn't have to apologize for his comments about Clinton being a senator only because Bill fooled around.

CARLSON: This is true, you know this is true.
BARNICLE: Tucker Carlson, ladies and gentlemen.
CARLSON: And I say that as a compliment, I admire her tenacity. I do.

One helluva compliment. Tucker has an issue with strong women probably all women. The bowties were the first tip off. As Freud said, it's a tipoff of a small penis. He thinks women's resentment with men started with Lorena Bobbitt and is afraid of being castrated by Sen Clinton...as if she would go near that pansy.

BRZEZINSKI: I'd just like to point out, I have scars from trying to do that to one of the cats that I own.
CARLSON: Yes. OK, then you know how Obama feels right now.

[...]

BRZEZINSKI: Very cute. All right. Well, right now the candidates are Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the cat in a box as Tucker so aptly put it, and John McCain. And the Republican and the Democratic front-runners definitely going at each other on foreign policy, we'll have a lot more to talk about that, the editorials are great today.

[...]

CARLSON: Hillary Clinton, as I've said many times, is the drunk party guest who won't go home, the cab's idling out front, and she's opening a new bottle of wine. And the hosts --

BRZEZINSKI: Wow.

CARLSON: That's exactly right. And the hosts of the party, the press and the Democratic establishment, want her to go home, and she won't.

BRZEZINSKI: I -- you know what? Tucker --

BARNICLE: So we've gone from a cat to a drunk party guest.

BRZEZINSKI: I am sorry. I think that's just just too far. That's just not true.

What a feral cat is ok but not a drunk party guest?

BARNICLE: That's Tucker Carlson, ladies and gentlemen.

BRZEZINSKI: Our love for Barack Obama? Tucker. I just, I--

CARLSON: Of course it's true.

BRZEZINSKI: Oh, come on.

CARLSON: Everybody in the press loves him. Mika you know that. Look into your heart, you know that's true.

BRZEZINSKI: All right, do the cat in the box thing just one more time before you go. Who's the cat in the box?

CARLSON: [Screeching cat noise]

What more is there to add? This goes on day after day and no one cares. At least someone finally admitted out loud that the press loves Obama.

Biden - Violence Against Women Act

Violence Against Women Act
September 13, 1994 (Emphasis added)

Say what you want about Joe Biden, he stands up for women. This is his Violence Against Women Act...signed into law by of all people...President Clinton.

The Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) is a United States federal law. It was passed as Title IV, sec. 40001-40703 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 HR 3355 and signed as Public Law 103-322 by President Bill Clinton on September 13, 1994.

It provided $1.6 billion to enhance investigation and prosecution of the violent crime perpetrated against women, increased pre-trial detention of the accused, provided for automatic and mandatory restitution of those convicted, and allowed civil redress in cases prosecutors chose to leave unprosecuted.

VAWA was drafted by Senator Joseph Biden's office with support from a number of advocacy organizations including Legal Momentum and The National Organization for Women, which heralded the bill as "the greatest breakthrough in civil rights for women in nearly two decades."

This one piece of legislation is more than Obama has done for women - though NARAL is certain his short (and changing) track record is enough. NARAL lost a lot of respect among women after endorsing Obama. He was going to be the eventual nominee - what's the rush? And why the morning after HRC's 40 point win in West Virginia? It was intentional and it was beyond wrong. Watch the giggling video by Ms Keenan - her eyes are glazed over like a preteen girl. Read her Huffington post blog.

KEENAN: NARAL Pro-Choice America is unique in our ability to reach the crucial voting bloc of Republican and independent pro-choice women. These voters are essential to win the White House and we've seen that Obama can inspire them to vote for him in November.

See video of the Messiah certain! HRC voters will vote for him.

"There's a black man stealing my show!"

May 25, 2008
Obama's church
Trinity United Church of Christ
Obama had already distanced himself from Wright on April 30th. Pfleger was in the audience at the time and had talked to Lynn Sweet - see video below. So Pfleger was well aware of what he was doing.

Father Pflegler was on Obama's Official Campaign's Catholics for America Advisory Committee - but supposedly not when he ranted on Senator Clinton this time. His previous hate-filled rant in March after Wright "stepped down" was probably why he himself "stepped down". Note that he was officially affiliated with Obama when he ranted from Obama's church pulpit that he'd "be damned is he was gonna sit back and let you tear down Louis Farrakhan and Reverend Jeremiah Wright! How dare you! How dare you!"

Here he mocks Sen Clinton and her "tears". He rages about white entitlement, white supremacy and racism all the while he's a white man from a privileged background and a supposed Catholic priest who was ordained to preach tolerance and love they neighbor. The black congregation is eating it up - just like all the other anti-white anti-american "sermons". It would make for great comedy except his words are filled with hate in the name of barack obama. Obama has known him longer than Wright but the MSM passed right over that. Axelrod has been making a documentary about Pflegler. They are all interconnected and not superficially. This is no coincidental cosmic happening. Especially since he's in Wright's pulpit. It was a planned performance to get in the limelight. The only question is why. To get back at obama for kicking him off the campaign? Put up to it by Wright? Rev Moss? The congregation which is clearly enjoying the hate just like all the other. This is a hate-filled environment and the thought of obama's children sitting there listening to it is sickening.

REV MOSS: He is our brother. He is none other than Father Micheal Pfleger. We welcome him once again.

[Once again as in he was raging in March about Rev Wright and Louis Farrakhan being attacked by the press.]

PFLEGER: "You must be honest to expose white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises it head. I said this before--I really don't want to make this political because I'm very unpolitical [crowd laughs. He knew that what he was doing was wrong.]--Rev. Moss, when Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don't believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, 'This is mine! I'm Bill's wife, I'm white, and this is mine! I just gotta get up and step into the plate.' And then out of nowhere came, 'Hey, I'm Barack Obama,' and she said, 'Oh, damn! Where did you come from? I'm white! I'm entitled! There's a black man stealing my show!' (Mocks tears) She wasn't the only one crying, there was a whole lot of white people crying! I'm sorry I don't want to get you in any trouble the live streaming just went out again."

REVEREND MOSS: "We thank God for the message, we thank God for the messenger, we thank God for Father Michael Pfleger."

Clearly Moss didn't think there was anything wrong with it either. Evil has been passed down. I can't imagine what it must be like to walk in there.

Sexist video: "Sexism Sells--But We're Not Buying It"

May 23, 2008

Women's Media Center decides to finally address sexism when Sen Clinton's voters had been trying to get someone to listen for months. Hillaryspeaksforme.com had the "Mad as Hell/Bitch" video site in April and it was also on You Tube. WMC came forward because it was a hot topic and it was safe to address it without hurting Obama. Pure political expedience.

2-8-08 Interesting quote from WMC President Ms Carol Jenkins:

The problem with the media's conventional wisdom is that it is collectively white and male—and in the new dynamic of this presidential race—archaic. The candidacies of Barack Obama, a black man, and Hillary Clinton, a woman, have exposed mainstream media for its fundamental flaw: it is exclusionary to the point of embarrassment.

Who does she mention first? Right - the man. Ludicrous, innit? Racism over sexism.

5-20-08 WMC President Ms Carol Jenkins press release about video:

"We know that media companies today are under tremendous pressure to build audiences and drive ratings, but this type of vulgar, sexist commentary is not the way to do it. Women wield tremendous financial power in the United States. Our message to media companies: if you think that sexism sells, think again, because women in America are not buying it.

"As our new video shows, the media's sexism is not specific to a candidate or campaign. But the presence of a woman, front and center at last on the national political stage, has sent shockwaves through a media grappling with ongoing problems of diversity. Hillary Clinton's campaign has cast a spotlight on the institutionalized sexism that The Women's Media Center was founded in 2005 to combat, providing us with a unique moment to examine ourselves and the media we consume. This is about the inherent and unnecessary obstacles that women face every day in speaking out and participating in the national dialogue."

"the reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around" (MSNBC's Morning Joe, January 9, 2008). Speaking for more than 15 million women across the United States, the coalition secured an on-air apology from Matthews, and assurances from NBC executives that steps were being taken to address the situation."

"Yet the situation persists, which is why The Women’s Media Center is taking this next step, releasing a video and launching an online petition campaign to allow women to speak out against this continuing sexism."

What about Glenn Beck? He said: "It cried." It = Sen Clinton, as in a non-person. And if it were: "It cried." in reference to Mrs Obama? Beck would have been fired immediately. Beck's comments aren't even mentioned on the WMC site and he was not reprimanded. How quickly was Imus fired? What's the difference: "Nappy-headed 'ho" vs "Bros before hos". Sen Clinton = the 'ho. And the list goes on. Complete double standard. Race before gender - always.

1-18-08 WMC Response to Chris Matthews/NBC "apology". An apology only matters when you realize you did something wrong and plan on changing. Matthews has continued on and no one--not WMC-- has held him accountable. He apologized only because he had to. How about Mika Brzezinski sitting next to Joe Scarborough ala Mrs Spitzer when he defended Matthews? And where's the continued battering of NBC? WMC included 27 incidents - many already highlighted on the "Mad as Hell" video. I'm sure Matthews himself has made that many comments in the interim.

Ms Carol Jenkins:

"The Women's Media Center appreciates Chris Matthews' public apology for his ill-conceived comments about Senator Clinton on January 9, 2008. We hope it serves as an illustration of the damaging effects of sexist language in our society, especially when it emanates from powerful media. WMC has protested to NBC in the past about incidents involving Matthews. The network's latest embarrassment, coming just as its Don Imus episode was fading, could have been avoided, if our concerns had been taken seriously from the beginning."

The beginning? Of what? Time? It's a damn joke. Racism will always top sexism and for that reason sexism will always be dismissed. Blacks--male and female--can both rejoice in a black president. Gender doesn't matter. Carol Jenkins et al are a damn joke in my opinion. Much ado about themselves.

This whole election is a farce and our country needs a leader and none of the four qualify. History will prove who the most qualified was and how this election was a complete fraud.

TRANSCRIPT PENDING
Matthews: "her cosmetics and hair look good tonight." This man has a daughter who has to explain his misogynistic behavior.

Wright controversy continues at Northwestern

Zachary Parker, Coordinator of For Members Only, the Black Student Alliance is protesting and attempting to get Wright's honorary degree reinstated. Never gona happen and there is one person on the planet that will be very happy it doesn't: barry. The last thing he needs is Wright popping back up again. It took him long enough to distance himself as it was. And it took Wright's mentioning that barry gave the speech out of political expedience. The pastor knows his congregant.

May 11, 2008
Open letter from Zachary Parker to Northwestern University President Henry Bienen

FMO's Reinstatement petition

UPDATE: September 30, 2008
NorthByNorthwesterns' Alex Campbell and Chelsea Finger

Bienen wrote, "It is not Dr. Wright's views per se or the controversial nature of them that led us to rescind his invitation for an honorary degree. Rather, we want Commencement to be a focus on graduating students and their parents and families and we do not want Commencement overwhelmed by controversy."

UPDATE: November 10
Wright & Ayers spoke at FMO sponsored event. Still no honorary degree. Wright behaved himself long enough for Barry to be elcted 44th President of the United States.

Racist code word: "They"

Found this interesting article by White House correspondent for National Review, BYRON YORK, posed on 5-7-08. He went to a stump hosted by Mrs Obama and found a familiar refrain: "THEY". It doesn't take a linguist to figure out who the "THEY" are. Racist?

BYRON YORK:

I took in the Michelle Obama Show this week in Charlotte, N.C.

The wife of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) was in town for an election-eve get-out-the-vote rally, to make sure that Obama voters were fired up and ready to go for Tuesday's primary.

Usually, such events are rah-rah, go-team affairs. But Mrs. Obama's appearance was a little different.

It was an hour-long tale of resentment and anger.

First, she complained at great length that her husband had been treated unfairly in the Democratic presidential race. Every time he made a move forward, she said, "they" — she never spelled out exactly who "they" were — moved the goalposts a bit farther away from him.

First, "they" said he couldn't raise the money necessary to run a big-league campaign.

But "once he proved that he could raise the money, then all of a sudden money didn't matter," Mrs. Obama told the crowd. "Everybody said, 'Well, money isn't important.' "

Then "they" said the test for Obama would be whether he could build a political organization. But "once it was built, they said it's not an organization — the stakes changed again."

Next, "they" said Obama had to win Iowa. But "once he won Iowa, then all of a sudden Iowa was no longer important."

"They" had moved the bar again. This time, Obama had to win a primary state.

"Then we rolled into South Carolina," Mrs. Obama said. "Then you know what they said? They said South Carolina didn't count, because Barack was supposed to win."

Then came Super Tuesday, and after that Obama's stretch of victories in a series of primary and caucus states.

Still, Mrs. Obama complained, "they" tried to undermine her husband every step of the way.

"We've learned that we're still living in a time and in a nation where the bar is set, right?" she said.

"They tell you all you need to do is do these things and you'll get to the bar, so you go about the business of doing those things.

"You start working hard and sacrificing, and you think you're getting closer to the bar, you're working and you're struggling, you get right to that bar, you're reaching out for the bar, and then what happens?

"They raise the bar. Raise the bar. Shift it to the side. Keep it just out of reach.

"And that's just what's been happening in this race."

All the while, the crowd cheered as Mrs. Obama listed one supposed injustice after another.

Now, it should be noted that her husband was, at that moment, on the verge of a blowout victory in North Carolina, one that would spur new calls for his opponent to drop out of the race.

So you might have thought Michelle Obama would be a pretty happy camper.

Instead, you got the sense that she was angry that the Democratic Party did not, at some early point in the race, simply award her husband the nomination by acclamation.

Instead, he had to face an opponent who — get this — really wanted to win it for herself.

Mrs. Obama had lots of other complaints, too.

She's irritated at those people who have suggested that she and Sen. Obama are elitists.

And she appears to be still outraged — at this late date — by the fact that she had to take out loans to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School.

It took her years to pay them back, something she has kvetched about in numerous public appearances.

Imagine that! First she had to borrow money to go to some of the world's most selective and expensive schools — schools whose graduates usually do pretty well in the world — and then they made her pay it back.

There "they" go again.

If you're wondering how that negative message went across in Charlotte, the answer is, it went over very well.

This was as pro-Obama a crowd as you could find in a decidedly pro-Obama state.

So look for Mrs. Obama to continue sending out her message of dissatisfaction and resentment.

She appears to have begun the presidential race in an angry mood, and, despite her husband's extraordinary success, it looks like she'll finish it angry, too.

Micheal Moore: I'm disgusted with "Hillary"

May 18, 2008
Larry King
Micheal Moore is first disappointed with "Hillary" because she won't apologize for her decision on Iraq - like Kerry and Edwards since have. Were their constituents murdered? Was their state attacked and buildings and city destroyed because of the hate? Then he's disgusted because "Hillary" mentioned Farrakhan and Hamas. I wonder if he ever decided to investigate anything. Wasn't he supposed to be an investigative film maker? Now he's just obamerized. How embarrassed are all of Hollywood going to be when Obama refuses not to make a decisive action and something worse happens? God forbid. Will anyone ever admit publicly that they knew nothing about him?

Sexist quote of the day: "Sweetie"

Obama's favorite "Sweetie"
May 14, 2008

PEGGY "Sweetie" AGAR: "Senator, how are you going to help the American autoworker?"
BARRY: "Hold on a second, sweetie."
He holds out his right are to sweetie her away and the laughing starts. "We're gonna do..."and the men laugh. He knew what he was doing and never answered the question.

NARAL endorses Obama

May 14, 2008
NARAL endorses Obama after Clinton wins by 40pts in West Virginia, displaying the madness that is obamerism.

Nancy Keenan's formal endorsement:
I am pleased to announce that today, NARAL Pro-Choice America's political action committee endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president. I know that most of you are probably thinking, "Why did you decide to endorse Obama, and why are you doing it now?"

Sen. Obama has been a strong advocate for a woman's right to choose throughout his career in public service. Since joining the Senate in 2005, he has worked to unite Americans on both sides of this debate behind commonsense, common-ground ways to prevent unintended pregnancy. He supports legislation to provide our teens with comprehensive sex education, prevent pharmacies from denying women access to their legal birth-control prescriptions, and increase access for family-planning services.

Sen. Obama has said, "A woman's ability to decide how many children to have and when, without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. It is not just an issue of choice, but equality and opportunity for all women."

Further, I believe Sen. Obama is going to be the Democratic nominee. He leads in pledged delegates, superdelegates, the popular vote, and cash-on-hand. As a former elected official, I know that having the three "m's" of a campaign - money, message and manpower (or womanpower!) - are how we win elections. Sen. Obama will be our next president.

Now, let's take a look at the opposition. Sen. McCain has been getting a free ride for far too long. As even Dan Balz says, until there is a head-to-head, McCain will continue on as the media-maverick darling. We must show voters how extreme McCain really is and contrast his record with that of Sen. Obama, the candidate for the pro-choice majority. NARAL Pro-Choice America is unique in our ability to reach the crucial voting bloc of Republican and independent pro-choice women. These voters are essential to win the White House and we've seen that Obama can inspire them to vote for him in November.

Finally, NARAL Pro-Choice America, as the political leader of the pro-choice movement, felt it was time to take a leadership role. We have been so fortunate to have two fully pro-choice candidates running for the Democratic nomination and to that end, we've consistently praised both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama for their leadership in standing up for women's reproductive rights. We continue to look forward to working with them in the future. But, for the sake of the reproductive-rights movement, we need to put any perceived differences behind us, and get to work putting Sen. Obama in the White House. We want to let women know that, no doubt about it, we have trust and confidence in Obama's ability and willingness to fight for a woman's right to choose. He's already proven himself in that regard.

We all know that America is a pro-choice nation, and whether you live in a red state or a blue state, whether you're young or you're old, whether you're black, latino, asian, or white, whether you are a man or a woman, we know that Sen. Obama will represent our interests well in the White House and make sure that reproductive choice is protected.

Sen. Obama is the leader who can unify Americans on both sides of our issue. He has reached new generations and energized young voters, independent voters, and Republican voters. He's the candidate of the future, and today we are proud to put the power of NARAL Pro-Choice America's one million strong members, activists and supporters behind Sen. Barack Obama.

Name one thing Obama has done?

Gaffe of the day: "57 States"

May 9, 2008
Beaverton, Oregon

Obama says he visited 57 states. How can a politician--let alone one for president--not know how many states there are? He says one state to go and Alaska and Hawaii he couldn't go because "his staff wouldn't justify it". What about the staff he sent to Guam? What about his tour of the world? So was that the 60 states? France, Germany, UK, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Syria--his campaign fundraiser pal Tony "boneheaded mistake" Rezko's birthplace--and the Palestinian territories. He did make it to Hawaii when he needed to hide out when the Edwards' story broke. Are there people in this country who don't believe the MSM has done/will do anything to help Obama win?

Quote of the day: "If my aunt had a male appendage, she'd by my uncle."

Real classy stuff. Jamal Simmons on CNN on 5-8-08, the night of the Indiana Primary. Watch how immature the whole panel is and how rude anderson cooper is. John King lies and says he doesn't have a horse in the race. Who believes this shit?

Lanny Davis gets ridiculed on proobama CNN

May 8, 2008
Indiana primary
CNN had no Clinton supporter on the panel. They talked to Paul Begala (nastily) and they let Lanny Davis wait and then never got back to him after Sen Clinton's speech. They all laugh and think it's funny like a bunch of sixth graders pulling a fast one. CNN stood behind their coverage saying it was fair to both candidates. I had forgotten how one-sided CNN really was. This election is a joke.

Notable quotes:
John King: "I don't have a horse in this race."

Jamal Simmons: "If my aunt had a male appendage - she'd by my uncle."

Castellanos: "It's time to take the family dog to the vet"

May 6, 2008

CNN
Indiana Primary

Donna Brazile, Wolf Blitzer and Alex Castellanos (GOP) among others are sitting on their primary night panels. Not a single Hillary person is there. Later they totally disrespect Lanny Watkins by making him wait and they never went back to him after Sen Clitnon's victory speech.

Castellanos is a pig. Period. He is a sexist maximus. Here is refers to Sen Clinton as the family dog. His way of saying she needs to get out of the race is to compare her to the family dog who needs to be put out of its misery.

CASTELLANOS: The Clintons have incited such emotions in Republicans over the years, that you get Republicans who, any chance they get to vote against a Clinton may do so. And then on the other side, you also have some Republicans who I think have found something in Barack Obama's transformational message. You know, we can be better than we are. We can all come together and do something. So I don't think it's just strategic voting that Republicans want to cause chaos in the Democratic Party. This is democracy at work.

BLITZER: You think it's going to be a split decision tonight?

BRAZILE: I think so. Based on the early polls and also based on the fact that I think Senator Clinton has tremendous support in Indiana. I mean, people talk about the northwest corridor, Gary, Indiana.

BLITZER: Basically a suburb of Chicago.

And an easy extension of the Daley Machine. The returns came back after midnight after CNN started to make comments. 11K absentee ballots appeared. High school kids were high jacked from school and told how to vote. Will anything ever happen? Nope.

BRAZILE: But she has a former governor, Evan Bayh. He's an institution in Indiana, like Ed Rendell in the state of Pennsylvania. She also has -- the governor of North Carolina came up.

So I don't write Hillary Clinton off. I've never written her off. I didn't write her off in New Hampshire, I won't write her off tonight.

That is a complete and utter lie. An how many times has she said that Hillary should just get out.

BRAZILE: But I also believe that this is Obama's moment to show that he cannot only stand against all of the things that's come against him, but he can also rise again.

BLITZER: He's going to be here in a few minutes, Evan Bayh. We'll speak to him. Split decision, what does that say to you? What happens next? We wait next week for West Virginia?

CASTELLANOS: We wait again. Well, I think it puts the Democrats on the spot, because what that means at some point geometry won't change. Barack Obama, it's still his. They'd have to take it away from him at the convention.

I don't think the Democratic Party is going to let that happen. So they're going to have to take the family dog to the vet.

He just referred to Sen Clinton as the family dog and the need to kill her so barry can win. Nobody even reacts. Nobody sees anything wrong with it because there is no one there to speak of for Sen Clinton. And they defended themselves saying it was fair coverage. Oh what a world it will be when barry gets exposed.

CASTELLANOS: It's not something we want to do. The Democrats love the Clintons. But the time has come after June 3 and the last primary, somebody is going to have to sit them down and say this has got to end.

BLITZER: But the math favors her, apparently, in West Virginia next Tuesday, a week from today. Based on the polls there.

BRAZILE: Barack Obama is about 276 delegates short, 136 delegates will put him in the lead in terms of earned delegates. So I don't know if it's about the math. It's about the psychology.

BLITZER: No, I'm just talking about West Virginia, if she were to pull out a win next Tuesday in West Virginia.

BRAZILE: She can win the remaining eight primaries, but the math is the math. And again, if you want to change the subject to psychology, that's a whole different topic. But right now the math still matters in terms of who wins the nomination.

CASTELLANOS: The last six big primaries coming up after this, none of them have over 10 percent black vote, unlike North Carolina in which it's 40 percent or so. So they're not good for Barack Obama, but it does not matter. It's not enough for Hillary Clinton.

BRAZILE: Well, if you go by that, Barack Obama would not even be in this position, because African-Americans make up 12 percent of the population. And yes, there's an overwhelming number of African- Americans in some states, but let's give the voters in Iowa and all the other states that have voted for Obama some credit, because they voted for the candidate of their choice.

Funny how her comments change. What about all those bitter white racists in Pennsylvania and Appalachia?

BLITZER: We give all these voters a lot of credit, guys.

BRAZILE: I love them all.

BLITZER: We'll see you later. Thanks very much.

Wright: No honorary degree from Northwestern

May 1, 2008

Because of Wright's comments and because of the distraction the media would bring, Wright will not be receiving the Honorary Doctorate of Sacred Theology degree at Northwestern. He brought it on himself and forced Northwestern's hand. I'm sure it will only be temporary.

Official statement:Alan K. Cubbage, Northwestern University, Vice President for University Relations

Dr. Wright was quoted as saying that his invitation to receive an honorary degree was withdrawn by Northwestern President Henry Bienen because Dr. Wright "wasn't patriotic enough." If Dr. Wright was quoted accurately, that statement is not true. In his conversation and correspondence with Dr. Wright in March, President Bienen never characterized Dr. Wright's views or made a judgment about them. The letter said, "In light of the controversy surrounding statements made by you that have recently been publicized, the celebratory character of Northwestern's commencement would be affected by our conferring of this honorary degree.

UPDATE (11-10-08) Both Wright & Ayers spoke at Northwestern (11-7)

bot: "Did you call your wife a cunt?"

April 30, 2008
Des Moines, Iowa
Polk County Convention Center - McCain healthcare forum

The man who asked such a vile question is Marty Parrish - a business owner and Baptist minister who has a master's in political science, has worked on Capital Hill and moved to IA from AR to work for Biden campaign. He said he was concerned about McCain's temperament. Fair assessment. So why not ask that straight out? But the question, the leaflet, the preamble and the excuse don't match up - as well as the fact that he signed in as a HuffPo reporter, was taking pictures and knows his way around Capitol Hill. In truth, he had read an article in the HuffPo that mentioned McCain's alleged statement about his wife and got pissed that McCain got away with that but Barry was getting hammered about Wright and those racist bitterites.

See story from OffTheBus, Keith Dinsmore.

PARRISH: "A guy who would call his wife a trollop and a cunt just because she had ruffled his hair in front of five guys is not only a jerk, but a dangerous hothead if he ever gets his finger on the button. And since the mainstream media has decided to give McCain a free pass, I decided to stand up and, if they gave me an open mike, ask the question that the press refuses to touched. Our country is in a serious crisis after nearly eight years of Bush, and America appears to be oblivious to the danger this guy (McCain) poses to our country."

PARRISH: "We have a man whose temper can get the best of him. What I am worried about is his temper. Our country is in a serious crisis. This election is the most significant one since 1860. It appears America is asleep -- so I stood up and asked the question."

PARRISH: "I wanted them to know that I was acting out of a genuine concern for my country and my belief that a man whose temper often gets the best of him should be disqualified for the presidency."

Most significant election since 1860? Then why the subterfuge? Why not ask that point directly? He made up a flier and then got 500 copies made and moveon.org staff helped pass them out.
According to Chris Dorsey at Iowa Politics.com

He handed out a leaflet prior to the event alleging McCain called his wife the name in 1992 while on the campaign trail running for re-election in the Senate. The leaflet asked members of media why they were focusing on the controversial statements made in the past by Democratic candidate Sen. Barack Obama's pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright and ignoring the alleged comment McCain made to his wife.

"Barack Obama spent three weeks defending that," Parrish said afterwards.

"Why does the news media continue to ignore this outrageous statement by John McCain, but fixates on Barack Obama's truthful observation that some people are bitter?" the leaflet reads.

I can't seem to find the leaflet anywhere. Basically a bot was pissed that barry was getting hammered about his bitter statement and rev wright and saw an opening and pounced. Nothing new. Definition of an obamabot.

PARRISH: "This question goes to mental health and mental health care. Previously, I've been married to a woman that was verbally abusive to me. Is it true that you called your wife a cunt?

MCCAIN: Now, now. You don't want to... Um, you know that's the great thing about town hall meetings, sir, but we really don't, there's people here who don't respect that kind of language. So I'll move on to the next questioner in the back.
