The best and most troubling thing I heard was on the Hugh Hewitt Show yesterday. A caller said he was a civil servant and he needed to go through a security clearance. He suspected that if he had a relationship with a known terrorist he probably wouldn't have his security clearance. Barack Obama probably would not get a security clearance if he was just looking for a job within the federal government, but would get it by virtue of being elected.

Pretty ironic that the potentially most powerful man in the world would not pass a standard security clearance to get a job within our government.

He was staking out the temporary DNC whore house, and they just couldn't allow that.

Conservative writer Stanley Kurtz—researching an article for the National Review about connections between Barack Obama and former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers—made a big mistake.

The poor man took a wrong turn on the Chicago Way. Now he's lost.

Kurtz's research was to be done in a special library run by the University of Illinois at Chicago. The library has 132 boxes full of documents pertaining to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a foundation vested heavily in school reform.

Kurtz believes the documents may show Obama and Ayers were close—far closer than Obama has acknowledged—over oodles of foundation gifts on education projects the two worked on together.

First the librarians told Kurtz yes, come look. But by the time Kurtz landed in Chicago, the librarians changed their minds. The donor of the documents hadn't cleared his research. Perhaps they'll let him look at the documents on Nov. 5.

The relationship between the ambitious Obama and the unrepentant Ayers is a subject that excites Republicans, who haven't really thwacked that pinata as hard as they might. It really irritates Obama and his political champion, Chicago's sovereign lord, Mayor

Recall one story....that if MSM wouldn't have ignored/tried to discredit the Swift Boat Veterans in March, 2004, the story may have gone away. It would have gotten 2 weeks of play, and by November most people would have forgotten it.

But MSM tried to kill it. So the group said "fine, we will put a book out and buy air time to get our story out". So instead the story hits in September and makes a bigger splash.

That could happen here. But trying to first ignore, then squash this domestic terrorist issue, it could come back 3 times as large in Sept and October.

I really wonder how the press is going to feel about this. It's really strange for a presidential candidate threaten a crappy local AM radio station. Obama is lying about not being invited to respond. When Obama is president broadcasts like this will not be allowed. It's spooky.

''I don't regret setting bombs,'' Bill Ayers said. ''I feel we didn't do enough.'' Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970's as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement.

The simple truth vs the hype is the most effective strategy against this Potemkin Village of a candidate and his massive media production.

The more I see the Hollywood Light'n'Sound Obamextravaganza, the more I hope McCain makes a profound distinction between the two by appearing on a quiet, softly lighted stage, with single spotlighting.

He can tell us, "I'm not appearing here as a rockstar, a celebrity, or a media sensation. I'm appearing here as an American citizen, like all of you, with my vision of the future for the most noble nation humankind has ever known...."

I think Mac would be marvelously effective - and his moving and inspiring story best served - with a simple backdrop that highlights not his stage presence but his war story, and emphasizes the quiet strength of his experience. Think how much more penetrating this would be (and what a damning contrast would be made!) if done as a stage monologue by a senior statesman, rather than a 3-ring circus led by an overdone clown.

You own a bank, who bought an insurance company, which as an office in the south that was started in 1840 and had a co-owner who owned a slave, your 11 billion dollar company is considered tied to slavery according to Chicago.

The city of Chicago is run 100% by the Democrat party. The party of slavery and slave owers up until 1865. Some irony there.

Whoa, dude (or dudette - I mean no offense) - I don't do Trek. I know the Shatner SNL skit and the Star Trek Arcade game, and that's about it.

IBD on BHO and Ayers.

When Obama's association with William Ayers was raised at a Democratic debate this year, Obama replied: "This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood. . . . He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis."

Tuesday's release of papers from a Chicago school reform project known as the Annenberg Challenge shows once again Barack Obama has a problem with the truth.

The long-sought records that were kept under wraps at the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, Chicago (UIC), show that Obama and Ayers attended board meetings, retreats and at least one news conference as the education project got under way. The records also show the two continued to attend meetings together during the 1995-2001 operation of the program.

SNIP

I bet the Ayers prosecutor is kicking himself in the ass now.

Shouting down the opposition is a classic Stalinist tactic. Not surprisingly, it's being used to stifle debate regarding Obama's hard-core left wing past.

It's unfortunate that civil discourse has come to this.

Obama was given the Annenberg board chairmanship only months before his first run for office. He ran the fiscal arm that distributed grants to schools and raised matching funds.

During Obama's tenure as Annenberg chairman, Ayers' own education projects received substantial funding. As we've noted in our series, "The Audacity of Socialism," Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer's descriptions for a course called "Improving Learning Environments" says prospective K-12 teachers need to "be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and . . . be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation."

Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer has warned station managers suggesting their broadcast license might be at risk: "Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity."

Bauer has also written twice to the Justice Department demanding "prompt action to investigate and to prosecute" Simmons and AIP for violation of campaign laws and individual contribution limits. The problem is that, as the Annenberg papers show, the ad is breathtakingly true and accurate.

The only thing needing investigating is why Obama is trying so hard to hide his past. Full disclosure is change we can believe in.

It angers me that the MSM has been covering up for the Democrats for so many years, that many, many people have no idea what is going on. The actions of the Obama campaign, from death threats to Hillary delegates, to threatening radio and tv stations about an acurate ad, covering up Pelosi's lies about the Catholic church's abortion views, the people like Ayres that Obama counts as good friends, to the utter corruptions of so many of the Democrats sitting in Congress, and on and on. To see our media poster wringing his hands over that things happening to his fellow reporters, and upset that people may not see the changes roaring closer and closer with the possibility of an Obama presidency. This is what happens when the people of this country are deprived of real reporting and news of all happenings in this country. They do not know what is going on. How many of us are introducing fellow workers and family to the new media, to find they are shocked, shocked on what they had no idea that was going on around them. I hope this arrests in Denver, finally, wake up the MSM. By successfully giving cover to a very corrupt group of people, you have endangered yourselves, as well as the rest of us.

Depending on how this plays out and what kind of press and blog coverage it gets, this could be very bad for Mr. Obama.

At least no one is allowed to own guns. I'm sure that makes Chicago one of the safest cities ever...

Tactics straight out of Saul Alinsky's playbook, Rules for Radicals.

"Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat."

"Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

"The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself."

"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt."

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." (Think Gingrich, Lott and the success of name-calling used by the likes of Bill Clinton, Paul Begala, James Carville, Maxine Waters and others against conservatives and Republicans. Think of how Clinton "enemies" like Paula Jones or Linda Tripp were treated.)

"One of the criteria for picking the target is the target's vulnerability ... the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract." (Trent Lott comes to mind. Meanwhile, a former Klansman by the name of Sen. Robert Byrd got away with saying "n*****" on Fox News at least three times, and he still maintains his Senate seat and power.)

"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength." For instance, Democrats imply conservatives are racists or that Republicans want to kill senior citizens by limiting the growth of the Medicare system, they imply Republicans want to deny kids lunch money without offering real proof. These red-herring tactics work.

re: #113 MandyManners

Obama campaign lawyer Robert Bauer has warned station managers suggesting their broadcast license might be at risk: "Your station is committed to operating in the public interest, an objective that cannot be satisfied by accepting for compensation material of such malicious falsity."

Bauer has also written twice to the Justice Department demanding "prompt action to investigate and to prosecute" Simmons and AIP for violation of campaign laws and individual contribution limits. The problem is that, as the Annenberg papers show, the ad is breathtakingly true and accurate.

The only thing needing investigating is why Obama is trying so hard to hide his past. Full disclosure is change we can believe in.

Yet most people will believe the public interest BS and not want to turn the rock over and see what lies are hiding underneath.

What do I see in this.

Chicago Politics.

Obama is a child of radical left Chicago Machine. He learned his craft, in part, from Bill Ayers. R. Daley Jr's political tactics were the bread and butter in Obama's political schooling.

Viciously attacking your political foes, smearing them and instigating hate campaigns is how politics is played by the left in Chicago. This is just the same thing taken to the national level.

It is the way they do it in Chicago.

re: #138 Dad O' Blondes

This is worse than the Kerry Swift boat ad and story.

The UIC file lock up and the legal threats made to rightfully acting radio station managers and staff is a deliberate attempt to stifle free speech and information. It may even be illegal.

Depending on how this plays out and what kind of press and blog coverage it gets, this could be very bad for Mr. Obama.

But then, he should have known better than communing with an avowed anti-American terrorist who set off bombs in American cities with the intent to kill and/or wound police officers and others acting in defense of the public.

An Obama Justice Department and FCC will work hard to make sure it is perfectly legal.

Think about how Jeremiah Wright has been mostly forgotten out side of those political followers whose mind didn't change anyway.

That's how he could have allowed this to play out. Even big stories get old fast in the current news cycle. Maybe BHO isn't ready for the big show if he can't do damage control better then this.

PLAYBOY: Having accepted your own mortality, do you believe in any kind of afterlife?

ALINSKY: Sometimes it seems to me that the question people should ask is not "Is there life after death?" but "Is there life after birth?" I don't know whether there's anything after this or not. I haven't seen the evidence one way or the other and I don't think anybody else has either. But I do know that man's obsession with the question comes out of his stubborn refusal to face up to his own mortality. Let's say that if there is an afterlife, and I have anything to say about it, I will unreservedly choose to go to hell.

PLAYBOY: Why?

ALINSKY: Hell would be heaven for me. All my life I've been with the have-nots. Over here, if you're a have-not, you're short of dough. If you're a have-not in hell, you're short of virtue. Once I get into hell, I'll start organizing the have-nots over there.

It's more accurate as Chicago voters. We, in the rest of the state, have been trying to get rid of this shit to no avail. They always find way to con older voters, bus in supporters, destroy votes, and raise the dead to vote for them. The last election between Tony Pericia and Todd Stroger is an excellent example. Boxes of ballots were brought in from the suburbs with their seals broken. Boxes of ballots from Pericia supporters were tampered with to make Stoger (the Machine candidate) the winner for the Cook County Board Presidency.

That site is a gold mine. One of the most interesting posts speculates that Obama may have been considering a run for Mayor of Chicago in 1995, when Harold Washington died.

re: #260 aboo-Hoo-Hoo

Did you just download or stream the broadcast, or did you do so awhile ago? I am having no luck and it appears to me that the broadcast was removed from WGN's website. I hope they were not intimidated by the Obamunists.

Amazing stuff.

The callers are UNBELIEVABLE.

neocon, I'm listening to the pod-cast Charles posted above. I did have some problems getting it to load but refreshing the page seemed to take care of it.

The most damning part of that episode was listening to Kurtz's summary of the projects that got funded and those that didn't.

In short, projects that promoted racial identity got funded over those projects that promoted academic achievement.

This Annenburg stuff needs a closer look. Obama had strong influence over this organization. What projects did he support the funding of and which did he oppose? If the Annenburg Challenge spent most of its money ($110 million!) on racial stuff, and not academic achievement, then we understand why it did not have a positive impact on schools in Chicago.

AMAZING STUFF. The callers could not address the issues Kurtz raised, but instead resorted to bullying and whining. Revelatory stuff.
