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.
Good Lord is obama a total moron?
With all his donations he can't afford to actually pay someone to monitor his dumb website?
Hmm, I could use a new job and apparently they don't give a crap. Even someone like me who will not support him would keep this stuff off the site. It's just not right.

Good points, especially about understanding the net. My Brother, who is computer savvy, didn't see the Reverend Wrong until I sent it to him.
Lots of Obama supporters also support these two cop killers, so we know it isn't a ''planted'' blog.

"... the Algonquin ideals of individual freedom, gender equality, democracy and free trade."
Ah, those ideas came from the Algonquins. I see. But can we be sure they didn't originate with ancient Africans, who brough them to the Algonquins in their ancient African flying machines?
Because that scumbag Mumia murdered him in cold blood.
Daniel Faulkner had it coming, for writing all those novels that had the word "n***er" in them, like Light in August. Which, by the way, was published three hundred and thirty-two years ago today.
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....
Don't ya know that the left-wing nutroots will have to "totally" pay us back for exposing their hatred and intolerance (which they saw as normal). Sorta like the payback they felt they owed us for impeaching Clinton.
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.
I'm sure that's being taken down even as I write this, but they are fighting a losing battle.....the fact is: Many supporters of Obama Hate our military, hate our police, hate America and hate Christan's and Jews most of all.

They were also responsible for the death of two NYS Troopers and a security guard in Rockland County NY. In fact, Sen. Schumer opposed the pardon for Susan Rosenberg on that basis. There are some places that even Schumer wont go.
There is also a page where a Dallas Morning News Editorial writer, Steve Blow does and anti-Iraq war interview of Mohamed Elmougy. Mohamed Elmougy earlier told the editorial board of the Dallas Morning News that he supported "Honor Killings" with families in Dallas.
Not long after that, Yaser Said killed his daughters Sarah and Aminah in the back of his cab, which was found at the hotel Mohamed Elmougy once was the General Manager of.
what they;re against is US having them. Remember, they defend dinnerjackets "right" to develope nukes for their countries ,,, ummm,, energy needs ,,, yeah , thats it ,, energy, (for a country that has huge reserves of natural gas and oil! )
There's a reason that we here at The Next Right have chosen an open format in which anyone can blog, not unlike MyBO. Because it works. It builds more traffic, more community, and more engagement. If someone posts something defamatory or racist or antisemitic, you can be sure we'll do exactly what the Obama campaign did: take it down.
...three months later, and only if someone screams about it.
Must remain holiday neutral. Wouldn't want to offend non-Christians
Your post is incredibly offensive to people living in the Southern Hemisphere. Please come up with a non-religious, non-hemisphere-specific way to describe your proposed festival.
Charles, I've figured it out, I'm onto you. You are actually a paid consultant of the Obama camp. Brilliant! Obama is having LGF vet his website. Lizards do the work for free, you reap millions. Putting the tinfoil beanie back on...
Wouldn't a smart website manager just delete every post, every account to get them all. Then they could blame right wing mobys for 100% of the posts. Their supporters are dumb enough to buy it
Then start over with some legitimate approval process so only legitimate Jew haters and islamists can have accounts?
I'll say it again this guy has all the support from the best our country has to offer.And I would have given him a little bit of a pass if he didn't run with this large group of asshats.
Thanks for that link. I'd call these post on Obama's site something a little stronger than off-color. I really dislike it when folks on the right minimize what the left does.
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.
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?
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.

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.
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...

The Fellowship program was recommended to me by the Obama staffer who guided our SFBO group. I applied and was accepted.
(as if anyone wouldn't be accepted)
I fell in love with campaigning for Barack...
I knew I was in trouble when I would watch the "Yes We Can" video when I was overwhelmed, tired, and weary from hours of phone banking and canvassing and still had hours of school work ahead of me......
And P.S. I am in love with the fist "dap" between Michelle and Barack...
In case anyone is looking for a way to help a "fellow," here is a link to the PayPal account I have set up for donations.
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?
Probably too late in the game, but it would be interesting to have an ongoing log of when reported vs. if/when deleted or last sighted to get a sense of their internal priorities.

I am so happy that you are a part of the Obama family and have posted your info for buttons. I will send an order so that I can wear one in honor of the Arab people for Obama. I think your time for coming out of the shadows is over due. The only way to help other citizens know you, what you stand for, and what you believe in is to have conversation. Conversation will erase the fear of Arab Americans and finally end the polluted thinking that all Arabs are terrorist.
The Obama family is a welcoming place of unity and shared responsibility for everyone. We will win the presidency and create a positive change in America and the world.
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.
Can't be repeated enough.
And the fact that no one saw anything wrong with these for months.
Oh, I will have to disagree with you there. Two distinct flavors of crazy. Luap Nor may be the only man who can save America, but they aren't counting on him to save America.

Little Green Footballs is wrong for having a forum filled with ugly content,
I don't always agree with the content here, being "a perfect conservative", but never consider this an ugly sight. It is quite educational if you actually read it.
That's when they bumped fists like pro athletes; it's called "respect knuckles" or "knucks" around here.
"Dap" is a term I though was archaic. A "dap" is one of those prolonged ritual hand-slapping, hand-shaking, dance-contest greetings that were so very Black Power in the 1960's...
They are either young idealistic lacking any real life experience liberals who believe govt is the answer, or this old-coot wants free stuff from the govt liberals.
Barack Obama isn't really one of us. Not in the normal way, anyway.....
Many spiritually advanced people I know (not coweringly religious, mind you, but deeply spiritual) identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve. They are philosophers and peacemakers of a very high order, and they speak not just to reason or emotion, but to the soul.
Light? More like the train's headlight at the end of the tunnel.
they can delete what they know is offensive to voters, but the great thing is there is so much that they're clueless about, or just won't back away from. For example, mumia; they're thinking, gee what's the big deal about that?
and meanwhile, bit bit by, all of this gets attached to their candidate. it has to, they want him to change all of it.
Hey people, I made that blog on MyBarackObama last nite. lol Today I got an email from them. Personally, I was just looking for "dialogue".
Thank you so much for your involvement in the My.BarackObama.com online community. Your voice is valued here; however, your recent comments on the HQ Blog were disrespectful to our other users and detract from a welcoming community where all people can engage in positive discourse.
This is your first and only warning. Unfortunately, if you choose to disregard this warning your account will be deactivated resulting in a complete termination of your My.BarackObama account, points, blogs, and other past activities on the site. I encourage you to review our Terms of Service: [Link: origin.barackobama.com...]

I thought an honest discussion was what Barry was all about. I just have an opposing view. How fair is that?
Help us evolve? A way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment?
They need help. Serious, serious help. Those on the right really, really, really love Reagan, but I don't recall anyone considering him a spiritually advanced god to help our souls.
Here's the problem. I debate a coworker that's fairly liberal and of course, an Obama supporter. The problem is he'll justify and defend anything related to Obama. I think Obama could walk up and shoot a passerby in the face, and he'll find a way to rationalize it.
I've shown him the content of the Obama blogs, and guess what - "Obama doesn't have control over anything on there, and god love him for not imposing censorship! Just because wackos gravitate to him doesn't mean he subscribes to their beliefs!"
Un-f**king-believeable. How do you debate someone who's a blind apostle of the "messiah"?
I said yesterday, and I'll repeat now, that any comments saying that Obama is the "anti-Christ" or "Satan" are going to be deleted. This is incredibly silly, and I don't want it here. It makes everyone at the site look nuts.
If you continue posting this kind of stuff, after being warned, your account will be blocked.
There is plenty to dislike about Barack Obama without attributing supernatural powers to him.

Tangentially, I debated a Gorebot on GW. He flat out the science didn't matter, it was the right thing to do.
Same with Obamanics, he is the right candidate, facts be damned.
How do you debate someone who's a blind apostle of the "messiah"?
In reality you don't. Just expose them as is being done here and now and throughout the remainder of the campaign, and reasonable Americans will vote NoBama.
re: #154 PalsyClown Maybe HE doesn't have control over his own blog....but someone does. It took less than 24 hours for them to email me. See above @ #149. So obviously, all the groups that are on there agree with each other. I am probably the only one to get a letter from them.
Charles,
I agree with your concern about equating Obama with Satan. It is silly. However, it should be pointed out that Obama Supporters are attributing supernatural powers to him now! And my, are they silly.
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.
An image of Garrett Morris, in his shouting mode, would be quite nifty.
I never watch these shows, but I came upon this video clip on the ABC News website.
The caption given it was:
"Hasselbech: Obama Isn't Brilliant"
[Link: abcnews.go.com...]
Hasselbech is right, of course, but the whole point of the caption is to say "Oh, look at this, someone who denies Obama's brilliance, an obvious racist." These people are low.
Anyway, Hasselbech just responded to what was said by another of the panelists who said "Obama is brilliant" and she disagreed. Good for her!
When Blogs Fight......all this blog v blog stuff is getting to me. We all need to relax, this election is over, its a no brainer. Barack Obama has zero chance of winning this.

I love the fact that they were too lazy, or didn't have a "dissenting opinions" option in their form email.
And I miss my Obama Blog... (sigh)
I wonder if their keyboards have, instead of letters, just big gigantic pictures. like the cash register at mcdonalds.
Shouldn't be much of a surprise. The Left loves unrepentent killers. There would be a letter to Tookie post if he hadn't gotten the needle and 500cc of justice.
They must have decided not to delete any more of these blogs; probably had a heated discussion about it, then decided it made them look worse to delete the posts I'm pointing out, than it does to leave them up.
I'm sure all of the crazy left-wing blog posts encouraged them in this line of thinking.
An Open Letter to Mumia, From Leonard Peltier...By Christopher from ME? My, what an impressive fantasy world Christopher from ME has constructed in his head...or mind's eye, or whatever they call it these days in Obamaland. These are the kinds of "letters" you get when you have too many people thinking it is their birthright to go to college so they can study in useless social sciences. He's probably angry he has no future with his complaint studies degree.
Does it surprise me that Obama supporters would think that Mumia Abu Jamal was somehow denied justice?
No.
I can not think of any other candidate that would want to be associated with people like that. It is beyond reprehensible.
Mumia Abu Jamal brutally murdered a Philadelphia police officer, firing the last shot into his head at point blank range.
