I can't help but worry that these interesting revelations about his alignments and the sort of people who will vote for Barack Obama- perhaps not really doing much in the general election.

People like us who keep a close watch on these affiliations and crazy supporters would never vote for him in the first place, and for his most rabid supporters, it won't really matter.

Thing is, will the hillary dems and "undecideds" understand the connection? A lot of these people barely understand the internet.

I'll have to say that if it came out before AIPAC, it would not have mattered much anyway.

He can technically disavow all of this stuff by saying his blog area is an open forum, which it is.

His disavowment of things has been working for him quite well.

I wonder if we are just feeding the beast:

The Obama campaign is right and Charles, Hot Air, Malkin, and the rest of the conservative blogosphere are wrong. Stories like this win tactical, one-day skirmishes but lose us the broader war. The damage to the Obama campaign will last 24-48 hours, and by then we'll have moved on to the next line of attack. But in the meantime, thousands more people will sign up to My.BarackObama.com. They'll form groups, RSVP to events, and yes, maybe write an off-color blogpost or two. They'll solidify their commitment to a community that's fanatically dedicated to electing Barack Obama president. And while the pundit-blogosphere may dismiss them, the people on MyBO are building the most fearsome volunteer organization in the history of Presidential politics.

Mumia Abu-Jamal Speech at Evergreen State College

Last Friday’s commencement ceremony at Evergreen State College had caps, gowns, and the words of Mumia Abu-Jamal echoing throughout the exercise for 13 minutes.

A handful of the approximately 800 graduates walked out as Abu-Jamal’s audiotaped speech was played Friday for the audience of several thousand. Two dozen other graduates stood and turned their backs, and still others wore yellow armbands for support.

Think Twice Before You Wear Your “Free Mumia” T-shirt

If you are a college student, or a Hollywood celebrity, thinking about publicly proclaiming Abu-Jamal’s innocence, I strongly recommend that you read this book first. One of the passages from the book will give you a little extra incentive. In this (slightly condensed) excerpt, Maureen Faulkner describes a chance encounter with a college student 15 years and 3,000 miles away from where her husband died:

As I pumped gas, a young man, a white kid who looked college age, pulled up behind me. He was wearing a T-shirt that read “Free Mumia Abu-Jamal,” and it immediately caught my eye.
I walked up and asked him where he got the T-shirt. He said he was a student at U.C.L.A. and they had recently held a rally for Abu-Jamal. I asked him if he knew anything about the case in which Abu-Jamal was involved.
He said, “Well, I know that this guy was a Black Panther who was railroaded. Someone else shot a police officer and he was framed for it.” I cringed when he went on with the usual recitation of misinformation being spun by the Abu-Jamal defenders: a peaceful black activist, a social dissident, hostile white police force, F.B.I. surveillance, conned eyewitness accounts, phony ballistics, etc.
I heard him out and offered to provide him with the actual facts of the case. He politely declined my offer. Before I left, I suggested that when he wore a political statement on his chest he would be well served if he knew his facts, because you never know when you might run into the widow of the officer. I left him in stunned silence.

It appears that Obama has the knack for attracting every political crazy in America. They're all on his web site: left wing and right wing Jew haters, cop killer fans, communists, socialists, radical clerics, troofers and New Age crackpots.

My question is: why doesn't the MSM report on this? O.K. that's a rhetorical questions, we all know the answer.

re: #89 Charles

Patrick Ruffini is lecturing me about what "works," but if you check out his blog, you see "1 comment," "3 comments," etc.

While he's lost in some theoretical idea of "Web 2.0" I've been building it here at LGF.

I am less-than-impressed that some of the really hateful, nasty stuff was there for months.

A few days, I can understand. A few days and replaced with a warning page, even better. But month after month...you either don't look, don't listen to all the "objections" from the "self-policing" users, or just don't disagree.

If you want to set up a blog on Obama's website, you have to register and be approved. So somebody inside the official Obama camp is approving this vile garbage.

Do you suppose that person will be thrown under the bus? Or will the Obamameister decide nobody cares about his hate-filled anti-American supporters?

re: #78 Charles

I wonder if they've decided that it looks worse to go around deleting these disgusting blogs than to leave them up?


The "puppets for Israel" post is still there.


It is all about observing what trips their "cognitive dissonance" meter and what doesn't.

Most Americans have no problem with supporting a politician who has supporters that they don't agree with as long as the basis of the other's opinion can be considered "fair minded." When the over-the-top and radical opinions go unchallenged, Americans see either moral weakness or tacit agreement signaled by the candidate.

Team Obama doesn't have much of a sense of what most Americans consider as fair-minded opinions if you look at what has been sent down the memory hole and what hasn't.

This comment is classic.........

The candidate, the argument goes, is wrong for having a forum filled with ugly content, even if the campaign didn’t produce the content.

Little Green Footballs is wrong for having a forum filled with ugly content, especially as Little Green Footballs is responsible for having produced that content.

Therefore, I shall await with unbridled anticipation for the dropping of an armed, fully-functional thermonuclear device upon Little Green Footballs. And out of a devout sense of fair play and international evenhandedness, I will not complain one iota if the fully-armed thermonuclear device dropped on Little Green Footballs is a weapon of Israeli origin. After all, I personally know several individuals of the Jewish persuasion who find Little Green Footballs to be less desirable than even a Hezbollah diatribe or a full-color photograph of Mr. Ahmadinejad. One such individual goes so far as to compare Little Green Footballs to “spoiled pork.” That, to me, would make Little Green Footballs out to be the most undesirable of things....

Charles and the Lizards hit a big hornets' nest yesterday.

Wow, what a way to spend my first day of vacation. Keep it up Charles. I am trying to keep up. Are there 2 or 3 of you?

Charles, May I suggest a wav file that plays some audio or lizard sound when you add a thread. I can't keep up. I keep missing the new ones. I feel so left out.

re: #98 Sharmuta

They sure deleted the "hillary is a nazi" post I found quickly enough. Maybe it's lunch time?

Since they've been brown-noted they are probably trying to prioritize which crap-spills require immediate cleanup.

Sen. Obama's web site gives a voice to nuts on the fringe of the far left....
any doubt his administration would do the same?

re: #96 jcm

Amazing what it takes these days to make someone "brilliant", and acclaim worthy.
All it takes is moronic and anti-social things like killing a cop [or even being falsely accused of such], your son dying in Iraq [but only if you are against the war], or getting run over by a tractor...
