Phoenix Bird Lapel pin worn by HRC
By Lizette - Apr 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm EDT
Hillary Clinton and some associates have been wearing the "Phoenix Bird", a lapel pin that clearly shows who really she worships. The Phoenix Bird is a symbol of people that belong to the secret society "The Illuminati". This is a secret society that has a hidden agenda to incorporate a new world order. That new world order is all about power and definitely, it does not look forth the interest of common American people. To find more about this important secret society and the lapel pin go to: [Link: cuttingedge.org...]
I almost wish we weren't discovering this. Other than Charles capturing the pages, there will not be much evidence of their filth when it's needed. And anything that is used that Charles grabbed, the POS's will try to claim it's fake or tampered with.
I wish the whole country could see the filth that O wallows in.
The spoof blog is gone as well. Could it be that a troll is keeping the Obamoids informed? Seems kind of weird that they'd be doing so much housekeeping on a Sunday.

I hope you're keeping track of these, Charles. I hate the fact that people are letting themselves forget all of these gaffes and criminal associations. I so hope that they all come back to haunt him.
WOW! Wonder if Obama's web administrator gets double time for working on a Sunday? S/he really should hit the LGF tip jar because Charles is doing all the heavy lifting...
He's qualified to decide on whether or not to pull 100,000 American troops out of Iraq, how many to pull out, how fast, to pull out and pull out to where.

Working on Sunday is better than what Obama had to do on Sunday for the last 20 years -- listen to hate-filled drivel from the pulpit of a "Christian Pastor"
I don't know about the msm, but I have a hunch Rush will make mention of all this.
Yet Rush will keep mentioning "it took a Carter to get a Reagan", criticize McCain and put on dozens of weepy women who say they'd sooner die than vote Republican this year.

He either knows what's on it or he doesn't know what's on it. Either one speaks badly of him.

There are those who would say that voting for McCain and voting Republican are mutually exclusive.

Gotta love how any criticism of the Obama is characterized as paranoia. These people are dangerous and stoopid, a deadly combination. Can you say Fairness Doctrine?
When people are allowed to post anything they want here w/o being subject to being deleted, I'll begin hold Barack Obama accountable for whatever is posted on his site.
I was always taught that I should avoid even the appearance of doing something evil. If Barack isn't in league with all of those nefarious groups, he sure isn't doing much to distance himself from them. His words ring very hollow now because of the people he has courted in the past.
Feel good story. The White Sox & Twins had an hour & one half rain delay in Chicago today.
Jerry Reinsdorf, the Sox owner spotted some Great Lakes sailors in their Whites getting wet.
He had them brought up to a luxury sky box as his guest.

Hell, I'd like to see him deleted just to prove his point.
I think Barry O needs to hire Markos to work his webpage, at least his memory hole is usually quicker. (Except for one particular blog we've been talking about)
Give Obama a break. He can't keep an eye on his anti-Semetic moonbat bloggers ever second of the day. He's god-like, not god.
Wrong, he is Our Lord and Savior. He who Is. The Messiah. The Lightworker! All of these are but distractions and tests to see if we are among the true believers in Him. At least, that's what they tell me at DailyKos...
#105 "Change we can believe in". That's the real problem. I do believe Barack will change things...for the worse. With a Democrat prez and a Democrat congress, we'll have changes that will make us all sick. I remember the Carter years and I see Barack as even more destructive to our military, our economy and our standing in the world.
Every time I watch him, I see an elitist, arrogant man. He scares me.
If this man is elected as the leader of the most powerful nation in history, it will surely mark the beginning of the end (although it could be argued Carter was the beginning of the end I guess?) A so called majority of Americans would have voted him in. These voters approach the world with the minds of spoiled children. They are oblivious to the realities of the threats we face and the difficult self sacrificing choices that need to be made to keep this nation from crumbling into historical dust. It is suicide by vote. Mass insanity, and the most selfish act of all which is dooming the generations to come to a life of toil and strife as we loose are status as a world power and our freedoms to the communist nanny state. We need a million man march of conservatives to go down to Washington and demand the madness of social welfare policies, appeasement of dictators and the corruption of out of control government spending be brought to an end. The only thing politicians fear is bad publicity. Image if all U.S. citizens who believe in conservative values all marched on Washington, or even locally in their own state capitals and voiced their opposition to the policies of appeasement and decay? Alas, it is only a dream to escape reality.
McCain should be taking note of this. Unfortunately a great deal happens without the notice of McCain or his extraordinarily ignorant advisers. Dinosaur campaign.
You may have had a valid point if this post was only up a day or two before being taken down, but it stayed up over 2 weeks until Charles pointed it out. I have a strong suspicion that it wouldn't have been taken down had LGF not posted about it.
So Messiah cannot afford decent moderators, even with his massive warchest for his campaign? He is fallible, after all!

They usually have a section reserved for the Marine recruits from Camp Pendleton on Sundays, too. They leave early- often to the tune of The Marine Corps Hymn playing on the stadium's PA and with the crowd clapping in time.
Naturally, there's some whiney moonbats who write letters to the Union-Tribune about how the camo uniforms smack of 'militarism' and 'mindless jingoism'
Putting all this together, all sorts of anti-Jewish hate stuff keeps popping up on Obama's website, and stays there for months with no one feeling a need to object. Meanwhile, there are lots of people who post there claiming to be "Jews for Obama."
Could the "Jews" for Obama really be what they claim in more than a purely nominal sense if they have no objection to those posts, and it's left to LGF to object?

How true. McCains resume alone will not get him elected. If that was the deal the nominee would be Hillary.
Stop all of straight talking about straight talk and do it. McCain has to go hard after him with the truth. Barry & his associates are beyond exotic. He attracts Marxists, racists, Islamists and a load of anti American, Anti Semites.
Barry has left a paper and video trail.

of COURSE you've never heard of him. All his mail is addressed to "occupant", as he has no credit history or bank accounts. He lists his address as "mom's basement". But he does have some real cool concert ticket stubs from the 70's !
#133 witness...Amen to all you said. Our nation had become a group of people who want the gub'mint to solve all of our problems by either subsidizing all of our wants or making laws that tell us everything we should or shouldn't do because we obviously aren't able to use our own minds. I, with all of my heart wish that all senators and congressmen had term limits so only those who wished to be true servants of the people would run. Instead, we have career politicians who don't care about our country as much as they care about their positions and how to keep their money and power. They care more about their party than what is good for the country.
You are right...true conservatives need to let our voices be heard.
Just back from Reserve Navy stuff. Any thing interesting happen this weekend? Seems like Obama has a few Jew haters who support him. What a shock-not. Any one get the stick?
I am willing to take a paid vacation day and spend my own money to make the trip to march and even donate money to such an event and to volunteer at the event. I wish I had the money and connections to organize such an event. Where are the so called keepers of the conservative flame to guide us through the impending darkness? Were are the Anti-Soros? Who will lead us?
No, it wasn't Larry Johnson, by the way, it's apparently someone named Jim Coffey, which I discovered by searching for the email address. Never heard of him.
Here 's a comment from the Ben Smith blog from someone who read the Obama blog about the Mossad being responsible for 9/11, then posted this:
Little Green Footballs is full of it. Maybe a couple anti-semitic posts, but most are just different opinions on approach to Israel/Palestine. Not hateful, just opinionated. Get over yourselves.
I was sadden yesterday when Obama attended Jewish lobby group's venvention and denounced Hamas,the palastinian democratic elected goverment,as terrorist and support Jew without condition. This the Bush's stupid policy. It will never achive peace. Did you not declare you are not going to be influenced by speacial interest and lobbyist group? Be a unbias leader and honest ,not one sided, like previous administrations. They all bought by jewisah groups.
American Jew ,please put American interest first and patriotic to US not Jewish State. Only that you can abolish anti Semetic current around the globe.
Long live the USA.
/in other words, there can be no peace while Israel exists
I would bet money Steve does not live in Oak Brook, IL. And his name is probably not Steve either. Or maybe Oak Brook, IL just has really crappy public screwels.
Well- looking around there a bit- they've already put up one comment upset about people talking about Dear Leader's middle name:
Congressman Steve King made disparaging remarks about Senator Barack Obama and appealed to fear of Muslims by invoking the Obama's middle name and heritage.
/in other words, there can be no peace while Israel exists
"Steve from Oakbrook, IL" sounds suspiciously like a barely literate speaker of English as a Foreign Language. Bet his name is not Steve and he does not live in Oak Brook, IL.
I wish I had an answer for you? Sadly, I fear they are secretly hoarding gold and making their escape plans. I fear it will take an economic depression (which is usually followed by world war), before the madness of the left is turned back. This may all come to pass in the next 4 to 8 years. It really looks inevitable to me.

We know damn well that if this kind of kooky, wacked-out stuff we've seen today was on an official site ran by McCain's campaign and the admin staff was playing Whack-A-Mole with the offending user blogs like Obama's people have been doing, the leftoids would be rabidly crying "coverup" (among other things).
Thanks for that link. They already have a quite a bit posted. So far it's all negative towards McCain and other Republicans and sympathetic towards Obama.
I'm thinking we can guess who's getting the endorsement!
You know, it's far better to have a blog with free speech than the blogs that McCain and Hillary manage. Never would a contrary opinion ever appear there. Just "rah-rah" stuff and anything critical at all is axed. Leadership that allows voices to be heard no matter how shrill or ugly is the kind of leadership I'm looking for.
You know, free speech like "the Jews were responsible for 9/11" and "Jews control the media."
Just contrary opinions, that's all. What's the big deal?
I would bet money Steve does not live in Oak Brook, IL. And his name is probably not Steve either. Or maybe Oak Brook, IL just has really crappy public screwels.
To patronize AIPAC, and to do so without even a remark about the occupation, illegal land grabbing, illegal apartheid wall, dehumanization, racism, bulldozing homes, bulldozing olive trees, bulldozing other crops, grabbing water resources, destroying palestinian infrastructure, implementing countless roadblocks designed more for harassment than security, targeted assassinations, etc, etc, is really something I didn't expect from Barack Obama. Israel is an apartheid state and Obama know's exactly what Israel is about, but he's a coward to not call it what it is.
Before a friendly Zionist sympathizer jumps on my case with the "anti-Semite" label, please allow me to say I'm a 61 year old Sephardic Jew, and I can assure you that there is more criticism of Israel's hateful and racist policies inside Israel than in the United States. And, no thanks, I'm not a "self-hating Jew", I'm a Justice Loving Jew. Barack Obama should not offer Israel his unconditional support. He's patronizing AIPAC for money support, while doing an obvious CYA, so AIPAC won't set out to ruin his run for the presidency. Israel has been enjoying blind support and tax dollars from American citizens for too long. We have become complicit with Israel's policies.
Well I guess it's official. The Barack Obama-as-Muslim smear has now gone mainstream. I had thought it would stay restricted to pass-along e-mails and the dregs of the Internet -- because surely respectable folk wouldn't want their fingerprints on this -- but apparently it's now acceptable for leading conservative magazines and Republican congressmen to associate themselves with this stuff:
An Iowa Republican congressman said Friday that terrorists would be "dancing in the streets" if Democratic candidate Barack Obama were to win the presidency.
Rep. Steve King based his prediction on Obama's pledge to pull troops out of Iraq, his Kenyan heritage and his middle name, Hussein.
"The radical Islamists, the al-Qaida ... would be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on Sept. 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror," King said in an interview with the Daily Reporter in Spencer.
King said his comments were not meant to demean Obama but to warn how an Obama presidency would look to the world.
"His middle name does matter," King said. "It matters because they read a meaning into that."
For the record, King isn't backing away from these comments with a "they quoted me out of context" dodge. He's standing by the comments.
[Link: redblueamerica.com...]
Lots of disagreement with his point in the comments there.
Americans Abroad who support Obama '08 are represented on six continents with chapters and events being held in Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa and Australia. What about Antartica? There must be some democrats at the McMurdo Ice Station? The hunt is on! Who will be the first to find the Obama supporter in Antartica so that we can say, Obama Around the World on ALL Seven Continents? Get them to sign up at (deleted)

There are a lot of koolaid guzzlers in Israel. Who do you think votes for Kadima and Labor? Not to mention Meretz and other idiots.
I don't know if anyone is watching but the Mets are playing the San Diego Padres out in Ca. It must be some kind of Marine day. There are a bunch of Marines in attendance and the Padres Jerseys are Marine Camouflage for the day. Kinda Cool. I volunteered ( Yeah I know-never volunteer) to help our "Green" brothers out with a huge INDOC for Marine recruits next month. I have been promised I will get to shoot alot of weapons. We'll see?
Obama revises his history faster than Stalins photo retouch artists could remove former party officials after he had them killed. Trouble is, Obama's Socialist, Communist, and Islamist supporters are still very much alive and remain as the bedrock of his program.
When you click on the deleted URL, his name comes up until the page loads and the URL changes. I'm not a geek, but it looks like the new URL is routed through his name.
B-HO cannot find competent people to mange his own web site (hate speech is left up for months; only taken off when it gets noticed), yet we are led to believe he will surround himself with competent advisors to run America.
He has not even spoken to top military brass regarding Iraq, yet he has made his mind up to surrender there immediately.
He has not completed one full term as a Senator; he has passed one bill. He has (so far) been unable to unite the democrat party, let alone the country.
He is not ready to be the most powerful leader in the world.
Several people tried to tell him he was being rude, but he simply wouldn't listen.
I was online when some of that was taking place. I hope that this is a "time out" and not a permanent ban. Savage Nation had been given a week's suspension as a warning before, but of course, it's Charles's call.

Not only has he not spoken to top military brass, he has not set one toe on the ground in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
Witness the Che flag in Houston. Classic Obama campaign moment, recurring Obama campaign theme...when you spout HOPE and CHANGE with NO CONTENT, the loons will fill in the blanks for you. And loons are relentless...they stop not for food, sleep, personal hygiene, etc.
Obama is the ultimate whitescreen, and the loons are projecting onto him what they will.
I had a great weekend. My career as a trombonist resurfaced for a bit with the Four Tops and the Temptations. Friday night was a sold out concert. Saturday night was a private concert, as in at someone's home. Yes, I said it, a private concert with both groups, roadies, catering and a 10 pc horn section. Interesting. I just take the money and run sometimes. Friday was the better night by far.
Anyway, I see the site has been busy. I will have to catch up later.
I'm not so much concerned about him physically going to Iraq, I just think it might be a good idea to speak with the military before making decisions that impact our troops.

You mean like disbanding it like he intends to do?
I can understand that. The claret - a major favorite of mine - is running about $15/bottle, so we don't have it that often. We've stocked up when we've seen it on special, so we have some for guests and when we're going to someone's house.
I would bet money Steve does not live in Oak Brook, IL. And his name is probably not Steve either. Or maybe Oak Brook, IL just has really crappy public screwels.
Or that the commentor just does not care how his comment looks. Oak Brook is one of those places that have a lot of white collar jobs in them, and the residential areas are full of a country club atmosphere. A lot of snobs, IMHO. I would suspect that he may in fact live there as most of the Obama fans I've met tend to be either very rich or very poor.

Interesting links Juan Carlos has there. Uruknet is a Jihadi information clearinghouse. Was based out of Italy, looks like they moved hosts to Germany.
Though the Democratic Socialists of America or the Communist Patty of America may have more Socialististic values, it is pointless to vote for these candidates due to the fact that there is virutally no chance they will be elected on a National level. The members of this group are not Leninists, Stalinists, etc. and do not support or condone the actions of North Korea, China, Cuba or any other self-procalimed "Marxist States." They do not in anyway represent the Marxist philosophy nor do they represent Socialism/ Communsim. We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!

"Dear Obama: Congratulations in winning the Democratic Party nomination for President. I am writting you this e-mail to throw my 2 cents on a very important subject for the United States. I would like to humbly suggest for you to consider reading the book "The power of Israel in the United States." by James Petras, which talks about the negative impact of the Israeli Lobbies inside the United States, and many other authors on the subject about the negative impact of the Israeli Lobby and Israeli inside the United States government and private sector.
I think that it is time for a real change in middle-east policies by the USA, and we must break our satanic matrimony with Israel elites, and lobbies. This country cannot keep on waging wars on behalf of Israel. I don't hate Israel and Israelites. I love the country of Israel and all Israelites. What i hate is some Israeli wealthy elites, AIPAC and other zionist jewish lobbies, destroying our economic, and political freedoms.
It is time for Israel to stop oppressing and killing Palestines. The real danger in the Middle East is not Iran, Syria or Pakistan, but Israeli Occupation Forces, and not Iran.
It is time for US to dissarm Israel out of its 300 Nuclear Bombs. Ron Paul said that the real danger in the middle east is Israel. Not to mention the 3 billion dollars a year from our tax dollars
Iran must be our friend, not our enemy, whatever Bill O'rilley, Glenn Beck and the corporate media whores claim. They won't be presidents of the USA. You will be the president, and i have faith indeed that you would change Washington, DC indeed
Iran doesn't have any nuclear weapons, but nuclear energies.
Thanks and i hope you listen to my humble opinions about the fascist state of Israel and what we should do about it

Occasional way over the top comments, and even users, feel the burn of Stinky's bat in seconds.
So Barack Obama (and by that I mean not just him, but his entire campaign staff) can't moderate his own website, and he's running for President?!
I am astounded he has got this far. I am also scared shit less. I still think he will get his ass handed to him, but I have been wrong before.
Honestly, I am not that scared. IF he gets elected, and that is a big IF, I seriously doubt he will be able to screw this great country up as much as he would like to. Oh I'm sure he will do damage that will take years to repair, but I'm not predicting doom and gloom.
We support Barack Obama because he knows what is best for the people!
Lefty can dress up that Socialism pig in lipstick and pink all he want's to, but at the end of the day we all know what it boils down to - he just wants free stuff.

Every time their was a thread with any mention of Catholicism the one liners would fly from him/her:
"The Great Slut" or
"The Great Harlot" or
"The Great Whore"
Which some fundamentalists have interpreted out of some passage in Revelations because of mention of the "seven hills." I found it particularly offensive, because he/she did not choose to defend the comments or his/her interpretation of Revelations. Just as the koran is highly dangerous when zealots read it too literally (which isn't that hard to do) those that want to read things into Revelations are particularly worrisome to me.
He took that last chapter in Sinclair's The Jungle to heart, didn't he?
Socialism would be great if we could find moral, ethical, intelligent life somewhere to manage it. Since this never happens, Socialism is a cesspool of diseased policies.
The problem is not that they "threw their nutty ranters under the bus" (and I have disagreed before with the criticize him and when he does the right thing criticize him more al la wright).
The problem is that we may fairly suspect that a huge influence on Obama from his own will be to sell out Israel and if and when he does it should suprise no one.
Honestly, I am not that scared. IF he gets elected, and that is a big IF, I seriously doubt he will be able to screw this great country up as much as he would like to. Oh I'm sure he will do damage that will take years to repair, but I'm not predicting doom and gloom.
I am predicting McCain will win in November.
I don't know. Start thinking about Obama with a similar lunatic as VP and some clown like Ellison as speaker of the house, and I can see some unrepairable damage.
I had not seen that side of S&D Man. There is no need for Lizards to insult each other or his or her beliefs.
I have not been blessed with the gift on interpreting prophecy, so I wouldn't dream of labeling Revelations. That said, I have often wondered whether Mohammad was in fact one of the symbols referred to.
Actually, its is a holocaust revisionism site ... unbelievably dreadful.
Here's a quote, "In my view, the die-hard's real objection is to the Zionist political exploitation of the holocaust, i.e. the immunity from criticism and prestige it gives them. They would be wiser to address this issue directly rather than pretend the Jewish holocaust didn't take place. They could neutralize its propaganda value by drawing attention to the pattern of Nazi-elite Jew collaboration (Judenrat, Jewish police, Zionist) and by talking about the Jewish role in Stalinist mass-murder. (See Below: "Stalin's Jews.") Essentially the Nazis and Communists were two branches of the same satanic cult that controls the world today. They were both conceived for the purpose of advancing the bankers' "New World Order" through war."

The problem as I see it is he only does the right thing (e.i. dissasociating himself with those radicals) only after there is a hue and cry as to how bad they are. Why didn;'t he know instinctively from the start that they were bad?
Socialism is exactly what the arugula eating one believes and some of the Obamatons don't even realize it. Good grief!
Actually many see it and embrace it.
The left is wrapped up in a massive Psychological Delusion. For some reason many of them lash out at daddy by lashing out at everything that is good about this country. All authority figures that don't want to give lefty free stuff, are automatically defined as the enemy. The true enemies of this country thus must be the "freedom fighters", because they too hate the conservatives in charge.
There are similarities in the way some conservatives are willing to embrace fascists because of an agreement in hatred toward Islamofascists.
Wow! She is progressive, alright. "Movement", "collective"...tossing the individual under the bus... Not surprising this mentality is supporting Dear Leader.
Why I support Barack Obama: We support Barack Obama because he is the ONLY candidate who has effectively expressed the integral/purple ideals of the Purple People Power Political Potential which has to do with, "Not red not blue but true, Purple People Power, the TRUE majority!"

Could be. There are "seven hills" around the city of Mecca, too. But I can't/don't/won't try to interpret Revelations unless I could understand the languages spoken at the time. It's just a little too far 'out there' for me.
Being insulting to one's host is not forgivable. I have thrown bums out of my own house more than once. You just have to do it sometimes.
My hubby actually punched someone in the face once at our home for not quitting on a subject that he and others had repeatedly asked him to quit. After picking hisself up he then apoligized and did not speak about it again. Sometimes it takes getting tough to get through to some people.

Holy Crap! Looks like Obama has the nut job demographic locked up. He is attracting every lunatic the internet has to offer. Purple People Power. I'm speechless.
Here 's a comment from the Ben Smith blog from someone who read the Obama blog about the Mossad being responsible for 9/11, then posted this:
"Little Green Footballs is full of it. Maybe a couple anti-semitic posts, but most are just different opinions on approach to Israel/Palestine. Not hateful, just opinionated. Get over yourselves."
Then why did they panic and work so quickly to get those posts off of there?

Suzanne Moore actually calls Barry's wife HER first lady. As if an Obama presidency turns England into the fifty-eighth state or something. Then there's a bunch of out-of-touch talk about how the fist-bump of doom was actually QUITE COOL and QUITE HIP and anyone else who sees it as corny or dumb is just racist. Wow...just wow.
Ha! I kant criticyze him on spelling, but I will on thynking.
"Obama" and "Kant". Now that is a scary word association, at least for me. I vaguely remember studying Kant...IIRC, Kant tells me that if Obama is elected, I/we are responsible for what happens.
"Don't blame me, I voted for ___" will not work as an excuse with Unkie Kant.
CHENEY LIED THAT HAS COST AMERICA TRILLIONS WITH MILLIONS OF PEOPLE LOOSING THEIR LIVES FOR HIS PERSONAL ENRICHMENT! HE GAVE HALIBURTON A NO BID CONTRACT THEY HAVE OVER CHARGES US BILLIONS! AT THE SAME TIME CHENEY OS MAKING MILLIONS FROM THEIR STOCK! HOW CAN THAT BE LEGAL? WHAT A TRAITOR ! WE NEED CRIMINAL PROSECUTION!
OLT -- This is so commonplace and accepted by the lefties that, well, its amazing. Look at the "groups" that claim to support Obama. Just look at them!
Race-based groups:

Economic-based groups:
Labor
Religious-based groups:
People of faith (generic religion, I guess)
Age-based groups:

Both bannings yesterday were more than fair; Charles was very patient, in fact IMHO, more than patient, and did it because it was needed and deservedly so. This is Charles house, and we are his guests.
Savage has been out of line forever, hijacking threads, and being violent and abusive to females verbally, threatening and bullying..
Song&dance was in effect spitting spitting in his host's face.
Haven't posted in a while, but I think the following should be looked in to, assuming that it's not against any enforceable T&C.
1) To save a "shot" of a website, the thing to use is CutePDF to create a PDF of it, which you can then turn into an image or whatever.
2) To crawl a website and save all contents, there's a free open-source nifty little program I've used called HTTrack, among others, that crawls any website and downloads the whole thing to your hard drive.
We need to document this, or else they'll yell "tiny minority of extremists" amongst a wide swath of good-natured, wonderful people. The willful blindness of business as usual can't be stopped, but at least it can be contained.
Charles, you are doing an important service to society.
Why I support Barack Obama: I support Barack Obama because he represents real change to the way things are currently going in Washington. His refusal to take campaign money from PACs and special interest lobbies is a concrete expression of this promise. He also doesn’t back down from telling voters “what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear.” Sure, he’s slipped up a few times, but who hasn’t?

The bozoid on the at one point was going on and on about creepy Mrs. McCain was and how Michellle Obama would make a wonderful successor to Jackie Kennedy.
Wow. I don't even know where to begin on that one. Millions lost their lives? Really. Wow. And that is a pretty cool trick, making millions of your Halliburton stock, especially since he sold his Halliburton shares upon becoming VP and...and Halliburton stock has gone down. Warren Buffet should be taking advice from Cheney.
It would be wise for anyone who wishes to use the Bible to do some research into what is in it and how it got there. The same thing should be said for the Koran. In both cases canon was not established for some time until after the death of the founder. With the exception of roughly 50% of the Pauline letters, very little seems to be authored by the person to whom it is ascribed. Mark is probably the oldest of the gospels in authorship and thought currently to date to around 65 AD. That is roughly 30 years after the death of Jesus. Luke and Mathew come from what is currently estimated to be 20 years after that and John not till around 100 AD. Likewise Thomas dates from around the time of the Gospel of John.
This is not said with the intent to attack the content, nor with the intent to ascribe fraud to the documents. It was customary at the time to write something and then ascribe it to someone else as a note of respect for that person. It was also common to do your best try at what that person would have said and then hang their name on it. But literalists tend to overlook the point that the entire OT up to that point was redacted in 700 BC and other works in the Bible may not be authored by the people they are ascribed to. To go off the deep end about this word or that word is profoundly silly and/or ignorant. The easiest and most glaring example of this occurs in Exodus where Moses parts the "Red Sea". The original Hebrew of that part of the Bible is the "Reed Sea". That is to say that he got his folks over the marsh and when the Egyptians came after them, they got their chariot wheels stuck in the muck.
The spirit of the exercise is in the words, the spirit of the exercise is not the words by themselves.
Additional evidence that Obama may actually be a Lightworker.

Krupp, the big gun maker for the Kaiserheer was deeply in debt at the end of the First World War.
So, to continue post #416, lets see who is missing:
1. Missing are any business, profit-based mom-and-pop company or corporation. Obama supporters do not include those who make money the old-fashioned way ... by EARNING it.
2. Missing are white Americans --included are minorities. Does Obama intend to govern America by dissing whites or ignoring them? Does he intend to tyrannize the majority?
3. Missing is heterosexual, specifically marital sex. In fact, missing entirely from his list of groups are those who represent families and marriage.
4. Missing is anyone over 30, maybe 20. He stretches to include non-voting children (democrats are too selfish to reproduce so perhaps this is his bipartisan outreach?), college kids (before they get real jobs) and young, loser lefties.
5. Missing are churches and synagogues, the religious backbone of America. Odd spirituality and dying old line churches are represented -- anyone who actually goes to church or synagogue, tithe and believe ... well, these people are NOT a part of Obama's Amerika.
That's right, I have a collection of haiku based on my thoughts about Vice President, Dick Cheney. I'll share a few. Inspiration comes from the most unlikely sources...
cutting shady deals
shredding the Constitution
always with a snarl
ruined economy
two wars/ the "war on terror"
Dick Cheney caused it all.
How does he go on - knowing the whole world hates him?
Our Vice President.
run, Dick Cheney run!
it will come back to haunt you
see you at the Hague
corrupt and evil
the vile beast who pulls the strings
I don't like you, sir
pondering torture
the war pig is slobbering
our own Dick Cheney
Your first point is key to me, having grown up in a family business.
Democrats want everyone to work for a large corporation, because large employers have essentially a socialist organization. Lenin himself said that small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit represent the primary obstacle to socialism. We all need to be drawing a paycheck from a mega corporation -- the first step towards the total socialization of labor.
To make the history of the Hebrew scriptures and that of the Christian scriptures which include and add to the Hebrew scriptures in any way as un-evolved as that of the Koran ... is simply ignorant.
Hebrew and koine greek have evolved, as have all modern language. Arabic is stuck in the 8th century. The interpretation of Jewish and Christian scriptures have likewise evolved -- the interpretation of the Koran is static.

Yep. That sounds like Obama.
Not really the website says its stable and I can't say the same about SuperGaffe.tm
On Obama's website, there is a blog dedicated to solving the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. This is their way of accomplishing this great and noble goal:
This group's thinking makes a quantum leap in how to address the Palestine/ Israel issue. Our objective is to look at basic human needs such as political representation, citizenry issues, common humanity, and freedom. We do so by bypassing differences in religion and nationality. We will discuss the nature of the conflict, its genesis and possible modalities for reaching a logical outcome. The Israpalestine modality and formulation are open to the creative genius of this group
.
Bypassing differences in religion? Yeah... that'll work. Why didn't we think of it?
Oh yeah... because we are not "open to the creative genius" like the Obamians are! But of course!
BTW The blog is open only to members. Here is the link.

This is another link found on Obama's official website -- Valenzuela's Veritas.
Here's is how poor Valenzuela explains away Islamofascism (Can't you feel the love?):
Radicalism in the Middle East, born of frustration, oppression and lack of opportunity, growing due to inequality, unfairness, injustice and persecution, nurtured by a corrupted and hijacked interpretation of modern Islamic faith, and manifesting itself through violent acts of terrorism, is a symptom of the disease called market colonialism, of an imperialism that cares nothing for people living in misery and perpetual suffering, where the west props up and supports and finances its cadre of despots and tyrants in the region, with their full array of crimes against humanity being protected by the Empire itself, at the expense of the native populations, in order to control the region’s, and the world’s, most valuable resource. ... Islamic fanaticism, like its American, and Christian counterpart, thrives on the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the ignorant, and in those searching for meaning to lives heavy in suffering and pain. Like all forms of fanaticism, the Islamic variety grows and thrives by listening to the angry and the oppressed...Thus, by combining the fanaticism all theologies possess with the living, walking carcasses left behind by America’s propped up tyrants and kings, gorging on the spoils of oil, too greedy to share with their people, together with American interference in the region, a grassroots resistance is birthed that finds solace and solutions in the beliefs of the past, thinking, rightly, that the devastation of their lives is a result of modernity –albeit a debased form of it – and its corruption by authoritarians sponsored by the west.the root of their ills is indeed a product of the western world, they fail to see the reality that true fault lies not in western progressiveness, which is humanitarian, communal and universal in nature, but in the despotic character and oppressive policies of leaders that will not free their subjects to the great virtues of real democracy.
Here, America and her puppet allies in the region have made a vital and egregious error, for in inducing high levels of indigence, uneducation and dissatisfaction, in allowing despotism to rule and the voice of the people to disappear, thereby creating a Molotov cocktail of anger and resentment aimed at the Empire and Arab leaders, they have fostered instability and resistance, some in the form of anti-Americanism, some in the form of terrorism, most in the form of a society that grows more eager for change every year. Together with a perception that America has embarked on a Crusade of Surge and Siege against the Muslim world, and that her armies are engaging in mass murder and destruction of Muslim peoples, the only avenue for change is being found inside the mosques of radical ideology.
I don't think they actually do -- it's a useful kind of posturing but it's hardly stopped the company's progress. What they really hate are independent employers, lawyers excepted, of course.

Since none of those things apply to Bin Laden Or Zawahiri, I feel there's no need to read any further.

Charles,
Excellent articles you posted recently on Obama. You have them backtracking.
Keep up the good work. Someone needs to bring the truth forward.
Thank you for standing for the truth.
Very serious times we are in. I believe this is a tremendously critical election, but most people are not aware, almost like they are asleep.
I also am amazed at how CNN and the liberal media is hiding Obama's Muslim connections, or conveniently overlooking them.
Have a good evening.
Blessings to you
Deborah
My theory, actually, and I've clarified and revised some things, so Malor's post is a bit different then my conclusion in the post. I believe a certain self help guru is where Morford first got this Lightworker nonsense(and I think I have where the guru got the Lightworker idea).
I believe this self help guru took pre-existing definitions of what a Lightworker is(New Agey hippie crap), and used certain video games to retool it into his own definition. So basically, Morford is espousing ideas from some huckster who preaches a mix of New Age hippie crap and philosophical concepts he borrowed from video games. I'd also note, before our self help guru was a self help guru, he was a shareware game developer.
How much goodwill do you think will be built with Hillary supporters based on some of the content - one of the funnier servings when searching on "Lewinsky"
Phoenix Bird Lapel pin worn by HRC
By Lizette - Apr 20th, 2008 at 1:47 pm EDT
Hillary Clinton and some associates have been wearing the "Phoenix Bird", a lapel pin that clearly shows who really she worships. The Phoenix Bird is a symbol of people that belong to the secret society "The Illuminati". This is a secret society that has a hidden agenda to incorporate a new world order. That new world order is all about power and definitely, it does not look forth the interest of common American people. To find more about this important secret society and the lapel pin go to: [Link: cuttingedge.org...]

Was reading down through the last couple of threads & thoughts about watchers/paranoia, etc. - heard a droning outside and found this hovering over my house...
Or they are agreeing with all the horrid content and only deleting it to keep it out of the public's eye, thus preserving Messiah's chances of becoming President.
You're saying that the crux of dating is simple wealth transfer between people?
I knew it was bad, I knew it! Ha, ha... I'm vindicated!
Not wealth tranfer. Oh No. More like testicular transference!
(I swear I had a pair when I started dating my wife. Here I am, 25 years together, 19 of those married, and now I can sing ultra-soprano in the Boys Choir ! )
I think that's the admission contained in ChenZhen's advice. The website monitors can't distinguish between ideas that will reflect badly on Obama and those that won't. So the only answer is to get rid of the community blogs completely.
I'm starting to think so. I used to name Obama as "Messiah" out of jest, however, I'm seeing stories comparing Obama's rise to power to Greek mythology and labeling Obama as spiritually enlightened. I've also personally heard intelligent people describe Obama in Messiah-like terms: "He's not interested in money", "he only wants to be a hero", ect, ect.
I think they're starting to believe that Obama is a Messiah!
Talking to a friend last night, she kept repeating, "Things have to change. I need to hope." The fourth time she said it, I thought she had gone insane - until she called me delusional for saying the democrats were responsible for the lack of a coherent national energy policy. (Of course, she never mentioned Obama by name, but honestly...the lingo's such a dead give away, it's not like you can hide it.)
But it sounds sooo good to the standard issue moonbat... they will buy it and think its deep. Many of Obama's supporters come from the self-esteem/"think it, be it!" school of problem solving, and will therefore fall for any new-agey, "can't we all just get along" drivel tossed out by the self help/religion-lite publishing complex. They will do and believe anything as long as it skimps on right and wrong, and doesn't require conflict, judging, or real factual analysis.
I was interested by his inclusion of the pseudopigraphal "Gospel" of Thomas.
I readily admit, because it is history [cf. Eusebius Ecclesiastical History, written c. 310] and not opinion, that the books of James (Yakov), I and II Peter, II and III John, Hebrews and Revelation were given considerable debate before being included in the final canon of the Christian Scriptures. The early years of Christianity were far better documented than those of Islam. These books were included in part because they mirrored what the first few generations of Christian saints had written, or were indeed quoted by them. They were included because they agreed with the ongoing practice of the church worldwide. They were included because they had a history of being used in worship.
Even though they have very controversial views, the Nation of Islam Followers are AMERICANS and have a right to voice their opinion of a presidential candidate that suits them. Don't be mad because Obama can REALLY unify all of us, even those who have been ostracized from American society. For the record, Muslims, like Christians, have different sects and ideas. Yes, we can!

If she needs Obama to be president so she can find "hope", then she's in trouble. What she needs is a good psychologist.
Hillary's supporters in the audience at the DNC meeting last Saturday were, strange to say, bullying- yes, bullying the meeting. A very unpleasant spectacle. Has Hillary inadvertently awakened a monster? The angry white irrational middle-aged women demographic?
I knew that movie was really off it's rocker Christianity-wise the moment I saw George Carlin playing some Catholic Priest, and that was at the very beginning of the movie.
By Yahya from Houston, TX Jun 5th 2008 at 2:01 am EDT
Imam Mohammed has said: "Justice is more important than American democracy"
In addition, Imam Mohammed has said:
"Here is the difference between what Islam wants for society and what America wants for society. In principle, America and Islam want the same thing for man.
But in practice, they're different.
America seems to put the emphasis and the light on freedom, more so than on justice.
And the result is that, the society is turned on to freedom, but not necessarily turned on to justice. And my freedom disrespects your freedom. My freedoms clash with your freedoms.
So the society suffers, because we are going after freedoms, but have lost the connection for freedom with justice.
Freedom and justice are born together, and freedom and justice are to live together always. You're to never separate justice from freedom.
In Islam, justice is willing to sacrifice some freedom for a better freedom, or for a genuine freedom down the road.
But freedom in Islam is never willing to sacrifice any part of justice."
The scholar who best supports your thesis is Bart Ehrman. His book entitled "Lost Christianities" has much on the theologies and ideas that were discarded in the first few centuries after Christ. This is not orthodox stuff. Ehrman has sold his soul to the academy for 30 pieces of gold (and tenure). But it is interesting.
The canonization of the Christian scriptures is a huge topic that needs to be jointly discussed by historians, theologians and scholars of language. No such well-done inclusive study has been attempted, perhaps because professors are protecting their widdle turfs.
Or Obama Youth? This has turned into a cult. I expect Obama will build a compound in Texas somewhere soon...
Why do nutty people seem drawn to Texas? What happened to all the Irish, Germans, Czechs, and French (who were smart enough to leave France) who used to come here?
I knew that movie was really off it's rocker Christianity-wise the moment I saw George Carlin playing some Catholic Priest, and that was at the very beginning of the movie.
/And Matt Damon (!) and Ben Affleck, bleh!
Some of the humor was good, but honestly not being Catholic I didn't get a lot of the jokes. Smith talked about the hostility he received about the movie and I posted on a Smith site that if he wanted to see hostility he should make a sequel about Islam. I got deleted.
Check it out yourself. An Obama supporter speaks here!

Louis Farrakhan is considered an extremist by many. His ministering is based on the Nation of Islam, a religious social and political based organization. He is an accomplished violinist and singer. He has been a devoted husband and father even leaving college to be with his wife during complications of pregnancy of their child. He stands up for what he believes in and is not afraid to take a stand on what he considers righteous. He has been known to "call out" injustices and actions in an uncomfortable manner. Many of Louis Farrakhan's statements have been taken out of context and presented unfavorably. Because of his strict belief and doctrine on how life should be, he has received criticism and has many enemies.
In my own life, I was inspired by Minister Louis Farrakhan to return to my Christian beliefs and practices. A lecture he presented at a Christian Church in Chicago during 1996 on the life of Christ touched my heart like no other. He not only caused me to reexamine my wayward ways and lifestyle choices but challenged me to become a better human being and seek atonement for my transgressions so I could move forward with a meaningful life once again. E Carol Miracle, a white female, now has a life I can once again look myself in the mirror and smile back because of the positive influences of Minister Louis Farrakhan. I'm indebted and I am publicly thanking you Minister Louis Farrakhan.
I ask you now, why must we expect and even demand Barack Obama to not only denounce but also reject Louis Farrakhan's endorsement?
Self-help psych + New Age narcissism = Obama supporter's mentality
Awww shucks... I just get luck some times.
Speaking of narcissism... has anybody else noticed how few of the Obama blogs have comments? No agreement, no rejection... no nothin'! The bloggers really don't care what the others have to say!
This whole site is like a vanity publishing house, where the important thing is to get yourself tied to the "lightworker"!
The bloggers bask in the reflected glow of Obama... elevating themselves [cheaply and easily] above the proles and slugs supporting other mere politicians. The whole Obama campaign is built around the idea that supporting Obama says "I'm enlightened and beyond the old ways".
Why do nutty people seem drawn to Texas? What happened to all the Irish, Germans, Czechs, and French (who were smart enough to leave France) who used to come here?
Wide-open spaces.
Room to make your own mistakes.
Thank you, Dixie Chicks. So much wisdom lost!
Seriously, lotsa space in Texas and a lot of neighbors who just want to be let alone.
But yeah, we gets the kooks.
You know the Koresh culties had been in Waco since the 1930's, right?
LW is redeploying in January. He volunteered, the big nut :) How is your son?
He's hating garrison work and wishes he were fighting again. Does not like the garrison routine. To paraphrase - "What the f*** do they think they're doing having us us f*** around with reloading drills? Ain't even no one shooting at us while we do it. What a f***ing waste of f***ing time."
Other than that, he is doing OK. Not great. He knows (as much as one can count on things in the Army) that he'll be redeployed and is worried that things are going to get messed up before he gets back. A case of 'we were doing good, I'm not so sure of the guys that came after us' if you can follow that.
Looking at current events as tracked here I'm just stunned. I always new there was plenty of stupid in the world, but, again, just - wow. Do those Obamatons posting even have 2 firing neurons to rub together?

That's the point, Hillary supporters DON'T have a high IQ, they are outright stupid, and they certainly ARE NOT concerned with what's going on in America.
The nutty people are drawn to Texas? Are you kidding, David? Take a look at Portland, or San Fran. Most of Berkeley. Parts of Providence. Key West. Where I am, now, in Taos, New Mexico.
There are so many places in our great country that are far more whacked out than Texas.
Baby in the White House
By GERALD from Chino, CA - Mar 24th, 2008 at 3:23 pm EDT
I think if the nation found out that Michelle Obama were pregnant, the whole nation would be caught up in the promise of the first baby in the White House since JFK and Jackie. The comparisons would be unimaginable. Some people would be gaga with the idea. Everyone would want to know the gender of the baby and the due date. Wouldn't hurt the poll numbers either.

Most Hillary supporters can not debate issues of Truth, Distorted facts, Michigan/Florida and the Popular Vote. They voted for Hillary for being female or just because.
The scholar who best supports your thesis is Bart Ehrman. His book entitled "Lost Christianities" has much on the theologies and ideas that were discarded in the first few centuries after Christ. This is not orthodox stuff. Ehrman has sold his soul to the academy for 30 pieces of gold (and tenure). But it is interesting.
The canonization of the Christian scriptures is a huge topic that needs to be jointly discussed by historians, theologians and scholars of language. No such well-done inclusive study has been attempted, perhaps because professors are protecting their widdle turfs.
Forgive me, but the canon is. I am Eastern Orthodox, you see. If by discuss it you mean to talk about why the Gospel of Nicodemus, the Gospel of Philip, I and II Clement and The Shepherd, et alii were excluded and the books of the canon were included, no problem. If by discuss, you mean to sift the canon and alter it, then if I ever decide to become apostate, I'll be glad to discuss it.
I am currently about halfway through Ibn Warraq's The Origins of the Koran where something like the above is done to the Koran.
This is a popular theme among Obamatrons. I overheard several people (supporting Obama, of course) saying that women are voting for Hillary just because she's female. I don't doubt some of that went on, but how many people are voting for Messiah just because of his race?
You are not here by accident. We are very happy that you have found us. Here at Lightworker you will find a joyous re-union in progress. It is a re-union of people re-connecting to their own power and each other. We invite you to join in on any level that you feel comfortable. Lightworker is a place to help you re-member who you really are and why you are here.

This is nonsence. Farakhan giving a sermon on Christ would be counter intuitive for a Muslim. Christ means Savior. That means God, not some Muslim prophet referred to as Isa.
I can still recall the punishment for chewing gum from one particularly mean nun in elementary school was to wear the wad of gum on your forehead for the rest of the day.

Can't say that. See the 92% Obama black vote is based on pride.
Those voting against him are just racist, no matter what.
Hey, this is Messiah.

That thought has crossed my mind, but I have resisted. I just remind my students to get rid of it at the beginning of class. Since gum-chewing drives me NUTS, I catch scofflaws pretty easily.
Has anyone ever done that? We all thought about it, but has anyone had 30+ sticks handy for the inevitible question from the teacher? Surely someone has.
When you first load up his website, you get a video of him saying ..
Hi. I'm Barrack Obama. Welcome to BarrackObama.com. The official website of my campaign for President.
And then he refers to the folks on his blog as "us" about 10 times. But of course at the bottom of the comments page is the tiny widdle disclaimer..
Content on blogs in My.BarackObama represents the opinions of community members and in no way should be interpreted as endorsed or approved by the campaign.
hmm. Welcome to my official website where I don't endorse the content.

Yeah, I think that's where the self help guy got the idea of the Lightworker from, and in turn, he modified it as his own, and Morford got it from him, if that makes sense. These kooks and the self help huckster are both based in Vegas and work in a similar field, so it wouldn't surprise me to learn they've crossed paths.
I base my assumption on where Morford actually got the Lightworker idea from the business and net savvy of the self help guy over the Lightworker freaky cult people. When you punch in the self help guy's site (which you can find at my site, scroll down and you'll find my post) and LGF in Alexa, they're pretty comparable, with him breaking ahead of LGF in recent days. The Lightworker people are scraping the bottom in comparison.
I can already tell that the RNC is not going to need to hire any outside media/pr consultants to write campaign copy: just put some McCain volunteers on their 'puters, dial technorati, and sift at the end of the day.
The Obama campaign is going to be a freakin' gold mine. Just watch the blogs, (double down on DU, Kos, and HuffPo), check Charles for his take to make sure they got it all, and let the copy write itself.
Remember, Obamaniacs... the delete function will not protect you from the vigilance of the screen-shot hot-shots!
