I’d suspect that won’t include attacks on Jeremiah Wright and the Trinity United Church of Christ.

Bitter shame, that.

First, that story has likely played itself out, unless someone finds video of Obama applauding some of Wright’s more lunatic demagoguery.

I couldn’t disagree more. This story should, and on some level will, be replayed from beginning to end during the general election. Assuming that McCain has no stomach for it, then some interest third party will have to do the heavy lifting. But he ain’t heavy, he’s a brother.

Alexander Cockburn wrote in an op-ed…

That guy himself is a loony leftist, creator of the Counterpunch website.

An example:

Wright speaks the “truth to power”, arguing that United States history is filled with examples of the government being unjust to the people. Hagee, on the other hand, speaks the truth to the powerless, claiming that events such as Hurricane Katrina occurred because New Orleans is a city that welcomes gays and lesbians.

Clinton saw the political opening against Obama and took it but did not go after Hagee-McCain. Making common cause with McCain allowed Hillary Clinton to appeal once more to that racist white bloc against Obama. But this concern for working-class whites is shallow

He lives in Humboldt Co., Northern CA. Someone I know asked him, when he was ranting against the Afghan war, “I’m from New York. I have family there. We were attacked on 9-11. What do we do then? What should we do?!” He had no answer.

Hope, Change, becoming a Republican again!

This video of Bill Ayers and his adopted son, Chesa Boudin is a great, big clue that the answer is indisputably “yes”.

McCain just won Florida, no need for Crist.

Habla Espagnol? This video of Bill Ayers and his adopted son, Chesa Boudin is a great, big clue that the answer is indisputably “yes”.

Also, a sample of Ayers, Dohrn and Chesa’s ideological scribblings vis a vis the Southern Hemisphere can be found here.

I agree, particularly since Marxism is at the root of Liberation Theology, and in Obama’s case, Black Liberation Theology.

important!

Obama’s response will be, “What! So I hang out with terrorists, racists, jew-haters, and criminals. So what! Let’s get back to the real issues here. This discussion won’t feed my children. I am The new Jebus and he hung out with sinners so can I!”

/Sarc off

-Wasteland Man.

When Team Mav starts to go hammer and tong after the Only Man Who Can Save America, every single time, day or night that Obama or any member of his campaign says something stupid or wrong, then I will be happy. Ditto for the Press Corps. The campaign needs to be able and willing to stop pressers and interviews in their tracks and call reporters on their mistakes/biases/lazy reporting.

And the McCainiancs should make good on their threats to pull credentials and start tossing reporters off the campaign plane, on the ground preferably, at 35k feet if necessary. (I would cheer the first national campaign to pull a DB Cooper on Andrea Mitchell: Strap a chute on her back and toss her out of the plane somewhere over Utah.)

A scattershot approach to lazy stupid biased reporters wont work, a la McClellan/Hooker/Burnside/Pope. It has to be a sustained, relentelss and remorseless campaign, like Grant in 1864: many battles, many casualties, but always moving towards the objective point: Richmond! the White House.

The commenter wondered whether the hand of Ayers/Dohrn might be connected in further spreading the Marxist agenda in the southern hemisphere.

I think you are wrong about the Rev Wright, his Trinity church and Trumpet magazine. Stanley Kurtz’s article that I pointed to yesterday at the National Review makes it very clear how disturbing Obama’s mentors really are.

To suggest that this story has no legs with the electorate is akin to saying that had McCain been a recent 20 year member in good standing with the John Birch Society of old that it has no relevance to this election. There’s no difference between supporters of Black Separatism and supporters of White Separatism, just the color of the bigot’s skin.

Yet these are the people and inspiration to Obama and it is not important? I will readily agree that this is just one aspect of the campaign. However I do think that the general philosophy of this group permeates Obama and Michelle’s thinking such that it has/will influence many of their decisions. I think it is not a stretch that his views on Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran etc are found there. Read Trumpet magazine. His views are the Church’s parsed through the words of campaigning.

I forgot.. we’ve ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia..

It doesn’t mean the coverage isn’t going to be slanted toward Obama, but at least McCain doesn’t look like he’s going to be standing around five months from now like Bob Dole in 1996, wondering “Where’s the outrage?” because the media wouldn’t cover the Clinton scandals.

Asymmetric warfare took down the World Trade Center, changing our country irrevocably. Civil liberties took a hit too, though one most Americans are prepared to live with, given the alternative. Congress still hasn’t fixed FISA, which one of Obama’s …

There are too many Democrats trying to undermine Uribe in Colombia– from delegations of congresscritters heading to the country to Nancy Pelosi’s adamance in quashing a trade agreement that actually benefits our country through increasing our exports. The coincidences are rather damning.

Karl Rove had a very good summary-analysis yesterday about Obama’s incoherent international-relations policy. One has to wonder not only about the Hope-Change contender’s knowledge, judgment, and motives but also about his mentor-manipulators. Too many of them are hostile to America’s interests and lean heavily toward Marxist and terrorist sympathies.

Every aspect of the mysterious Obama’s background should be open for scrutiny and on the table for debate.

good stuff

and would be ready for all of the msm ready to call him ‘racist’ the next day for it.. (the NYT has the report already written up in advance, ready to roll at a moments notice)

That would mean that he’s a stooge of the Communists.

Ironic that whackjob MDS “True Conservatives” who think McCain is some kind of commie symp because of his days in the Hanoi Hilton might help hand the white house to a true stooge of the Communists.

He is cut of the same cloth of those who insisted that Stalin had transformed the Soviet Union into the land of milk and honey, and awarded Walter Duranty of the New York Times a Pulitzer for disseminating this fiction.
