Muslims In an interview with the New York Times in 2007, Barak Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth.”
He recited, “with a first-rate [Arabic] accent,” the opening lines of this prayer: “Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah. I witness that there is no god but Allah. I witness that Muhammad is his prophet… ”

What you’re doing up so late? I’m going to bed.

You don’t wanna know how many I have. Don’t forget I got pigs too and snails.

I live in San Diego, therefore not late at all.

If you’re French, must love snails. I’m not French, but I eat them, preferrably with lots of garlic. I also like froglegs, mhhhh, actually no different than chicken. But then, I’ll try just about any food, except not the live bugs, or birdnests, in Asia.

Why is this such a great article? She makes the same tired accusations of nationalized racism as everyone else, but from the other side: “White people wouldn’t support Obama if he weren’t half-white.”

The author is a man. And he’s talking about white liberals; he even says so.

It’s just dawned on me that Obama is not an empty vessel at all.

He is a master manipulator. He speaks in secret code to each group.

Blacks
Cinque Henderson at TNR cracked the black code
When Obama’s candicacy was in jeopardy in SC, he gave speeches across the state that warned against being “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” by the Clintons. His use of the phrase is resonant. It comes from a scene in Malcolm X, where Denzel Washington warns black people about the hidden evils of “the White Man” masquerading as a smiling politician: “Every election year, these politicians are sent up here to pacify us,” he says. “You’ve been hoodwinked. Bamboozled.”

Christians
Obama says he is a Christian, that he has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, that he reads the Bible regularly and prays constantly. (Of course, he has not been Baptised and his KY pamphlets state that he walked the aisle on his first visit to a Christian church)

Atheists
When asked “Are you an evangelical?” , he states “Gosh, I’m not sure if labels are helpful here because the definition of an evangelical is so loose and subject to so many different interpretations. I came to Christianity through the black church tradition where the line between evangelical and non-evangelical is completely blurred. Nobody knows exactly what it means.

White Liberals
Hope. Change. Post-racial.

The point is an excellent one. Obama is using the same code, the same signals used by such loathesome people as Peter Popoff, who milks poor black audiences with the promise of God healing cancer when you buy his miracle healing scarf.

Obama would have them believe he is Jesus.

Those paragraphs are very important. Very creepy and oh so subtle demagoguery on Obama’s part. Keep in mind that when Rev. Wright talks about “chickens coming home to roost” he too is repeating words that came from Malcolm X’s lips.

Some post-racial candidate, huh!

I suggest all conservatives review this article on the deceptiveness of the ACU ratings of McCain of yesterday.

Excellent article.

I really liked this excerpt from one of the comments:

My point was and is to illustrate that the ACU’s “ratings” aren’t worth the electrons it took to put them up since their methodology is retarded beyond belief.

What if he’d turned up for only one vote out of 25 and just so happened to vote the ACU line? Bingo! 100%!!!11!!!ONE!!!!

Not to mention that if he’d voted the other way on that one vote, he’d be to the left of Obambi.

See what I’m trying to say?

There are three kinds of lies, in order of reprehensibility: Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.

“The talentless, misguided, or exploitative have long employed supradramatic devices in the construction of the drama, … as these very human virtues, practiced in the wider world, are understood (subconsciously) by the viewer to trump an interest in mere entertainment.”

“ ’Do you appreciate the film, or do you hate the deaf/gays/blacks?’ This is the (again, conscious or unconscious) mechanism of the issue drama.”

“Imagine, similarly, a candidate for office who asks for your vote because she is blind. ‘Yes,’ one might think, ‘that is certainly a shame, but I, the voter, pay taxes and so am entitled to representation. I will cast or withhold my vote according to my understanding of how this candidate’s views reflect or inform my own; I fail to see how her affliction enters into this equation.’ “

“But we are biddable. The suspension of disbelief necessary to the dramatic transaction opens the door to its misuse by both the criminal and the well meaning.”

“The ancient joke has a member of the majority culture taking a shortcut home through a dark alley in which he encounters a member of a despised minority. The minority fellow threatens the other with a knife, the proposed victim produces a revolver and says, ‘Isn’t that just like a (insert favorite racially derogatory term) to bring a knife to a gunfight?’ “

“Well, hijacking of the dramatic transaction is bringing a gun to a knife fight.”

baldilocks, I always pride myself to be in the minority :)

AUSGEZEICHNET!

It is worth remembering that the majority of blacks think O.J. Simpson is innocent.

Nonsense.

The majority of blacks know that O.J. was completely guilty of a double homicide.

But one victim was a white b*tch, stealing a black brother from a good black woman, so she deserved to die.

And the dead white guy was just a poor sucker who stumbled along and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. But, so had plenty of brothers who got lynched in the past, so tough sh*t for him.

It is considered a piece of righteous and historical Pay Back Time For Whitey.

They’re happy O.J. got away with it.

And the same unending resent-mentality feeds Obama’s support, coupled with White Guiltists who think he can absolve them of their imaginary sins of Racism.

It’s a folie circulaire, and Barry plays it like a master political pimp, making Bill Clinton look like a piker.

Indy, how many camels do you possess, aside from the one goat, and some cows, I recall?

Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 1:42 AM

What you’re doing up so late? I’m going to bed.

I gotta plant some weed tomorrow and make moonshine.

I’m sorry. Did I repeat myself?

Connie on May 16, 2008 at 1:33 AM

No, I think it’s me. I drank too much tonight. I can see your text repeated 3 times. That camel urine has too much alcohol, 50%.

Connie on May 16, 2008 at 1:33 AM

So to a lot of liberals

t’s worth remembering that the majority of blacks still think O.J. Simpson is innocent.

I know it’s difficult to clean the brainwashing and it will take time, but it can be done. It was just a short period of time since it’s started and its followers are not as big as the followers of Muhammad.

Unfortunately articles like this one are too little too late. Where was that stupid author before the primaries?

Ah, he was brainwashed and now he woke up.

Idiot.

I feel sorry for the “pundits” who fell for Hussein.

My advice to you, don’t ever watch any or never believe anything the idiots say on news shows.

Read raw news and make up your mind.

You’re a free Human Being, why enslaving yourself, and to morons?

I live my Independence and I’m proud of it.

Try it, it will not bite you.

Mr. Obama will set race-relations and all kinds of other progress back, and the media, and the D ‘leaders’ are unwittingly helping him. It’s a tragic thing to watch.

Entelechy on May 16, 2008 at 1:22 AM

Yes, ma’am.

Would whites be so into him if he didn’t have a white mother?…not a chance.

She’s a pseudo-intellectual race-baiter. Everyone is racist but her.

jgapinoy on May 15, 2008 at 11:39 PM

You’re not making sense. What ’she’ are you talking about? Do you mean Cinque Henderson? A dude. Cinque is a guy’s name.

And, no, the whites that Henderson is talking about–the Andrew Sullivans of this country–would not vote for an Obama which they couldn’t use to absolve themselves of white guilt–one which was not a seemingly post-racial sort of black person.
