Anyone remember Dubya chomping at the bit to get quitter John Kerry to throw the election?

Watch out for the “whitey” tape

Apparently, there is going to be some tape released this morning showing Michele Obama using the word “whitey”.  Here is what they were talking about on Fox News this morning:

Man, it’s so easy to get distracted in this whole thing.  Full disclosure?  I’m an Obama guy.  That said, I’m going to just cut to the chase and stipulate that Barack did, in fact, choose to remove his name from the Michigan ballot.  Although I’m not privy to Obama campaign strategy sessions, I would acknowledge the possibility that he did so as some kind of “hat tip” to Iowa.   I would agree that such a strategy would constitute a “political calculation”.  I would submit, however, that Hillary’s choice to leave her name on the ballot also constituted a “political calculation”.

But the premise that Barack “traded” 17 votes for 7 is incorrect.  (more…)

Obama Can’t and Shouldn’t get White Vote

That’s right, Barry; it’s about race, by your choice
by Bill Levinson

That’s right, we said white. Furthermore, Obama does not deserve the vote of any Catholic, Jew, or self-respecting African-American. The reason has nothing to do with the color of his skin, and everything to do with the content (or lack thereof) of his character.

We can already hear the bleats of “racism” from the Obama camp: “Why won’t you vote for Obama? Do you have a problem with Black people?” We invite African-Americans to consider the following scenario. A candidate of the Caucasian persuasion has, for the past twenty years, belonged to the World Church of the Creator (aka the Creativity movement) whose theology is “a racial religion whose prime goal is the survival, expansion and advancement of the White Race.” He has also taken his family to World Church of the Creator meetings on numerous occasions, and founder Ben Klassen performed his wedding. (Said candidate claims, however, to disagree frequently with the ideology of Ben Klassen and Matt Hale). Then the candidate attends a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan where he poses arm in arm with the Grand Wizard while proclaiming, “The Grand Wizard is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What the Ku Klux Klan has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.” The candidate equivocates about rejecting an endorsement from Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance until he is backed into a corner on national television. A while later, he makes a remark about “bitter inner-city people” who “cling to drugs and gang behavior.”

Obama Knew Exactly How Radical Wright Was…

And Welcomed It

Stanley Kurtz of the Weekly Standard writes:

“To the question of the moment–What did Barack Obama know and when did he know it?–I answer, Obama knew everything, and he’s known it for ages. Far from succumbing to surprise and shock after Jeremiah Wright’s disastrous performance at the National Press Club, Barack Obama must have long been aware of his pastor’s political radicalism. A careful reading of nearly a year’s worth of Trumpet Newsmagazine, Wright’s glossy national “lifestyle magazine for the socially conscious,” makes it next to impossible to conclude otherwise.

Wright founded Trumpet Newsmagazine in 1982 as a “church newspaper”–primarily for his own congregation, one gathers–to “preach a message of social justice to those who might not hear it in worship service.” So Obama’s presence at sermons is not the only measure of his knowledge of Wright’s views. Glance through even a single issue of Trumpet, and Wright’s radical politics are everywhere–in the pictures, the headlines, the highlighted quotations, and above all in the articles themselves. It seems inconceivable that, in 20 years, Obama would never have picked up a copy of Trumpet. In fact, Obama himself graced the cover at least once (although efforts to obtain that issue from the publisher or Obama’s interview with the magazine from his campaign were unsuccessful).   (I WONDER WHY???)

Pelosi Says Nomination Battle Won’t Go To The ConventionWhy Hillary Clinton will only hurt herself if she fights on after next week…

The Hillary Clinton camp has been throwing out some defiant words this week, with surrogates vowing that Clinton will fight to the convention if she does not get exactly what she wants with Florida and Michigan at the RBC meeting on Saturday. It’s strange, since even if she gets exactly what she wants, she’ll still lose, but it’s becoming clear that Clinton’s main argument is that somehow, someway, things need to be changed so that she wins. Now, part of this week’s defiant language is probably just political posturing in preparation for Saturday’s meeting. They obviously want to try and intimidate the members of the RBC into giving her what she wants. Once the meeting is over, and she doesn’t get exactly what she wants, unless she completely loses her mind, she will realize the game is over and concede. Afterall, not doing so will not just ruin her political future in every way imaginable, it will also result in her being turned into a laughing stock throughout the summer as her superdelegates, AND pledged delegates, abandon her. I don’t think it’ll come to that.
