Scary thought, but SO Obamanesque as he is deep down a small man

Already up to 20 blog links to my Ayers review photo. That was FAST!

zombie,

repost from last thread:

Then there's the question about how Obama got his review into the paper. Did Ayers ask Obama to write it? Did Obama offer to write it for Ayers? Who knew the editor of the book review to get this review placed or was the book review editor another lefty who was friends with Ayers? Etc. Etc. Etc.

Is the Master of Illusion going to be exposed before he destroys the nation?

Looking forward to Monday, to be honest. Don't like Sundays.

wow, just finished reading all the way down the last thread when this one came up! my eyes hurt. Oh, and excellent work Zombie! I too want to see photos of Ayers & Obama together, there must be tons of them out there, or even just one photo of Obama smoking...

Oh, if that new troll comes by, please kick his sorry butt for me.

When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set.

Sounds like the desire of some to see Obama's shadow bring the US down a rung or two.

The way to damage Obama with the Ayers connection is not through Ayers' Weather Underground history, as bad as it is, but through his current belief in "continuing the revolution through education".

Ayers wants communism to be spread via the school system, and Obama helped him spread it through the CAC.

/That's the CHICAGO way

From what I've gleaned, the book review editor chooses which books get reviewed, and for the "in short" reviews might ask someone who is a noted expert, or a professional journalist who, say, needs the dough that's a friend. I just find it kind of strange that the editor asked Obama to review it OR that Obama asked the editor to review it. What that says to me is that the editor, Obama and Ayers were all pretty closely connected. The publisher was probably connected too.

Naive is all I can think of and the thing that really bugs me is she has a job, pays taxes, goes to church and believes in the conservative values and yet she "claims" to be a democrat. She does not even know what the h*ll she is talking about and is so competitive that no one could ever win a conversation with her if they tried. You know the type~always right. Naive girl.

True. The fact that Ayers is not in jail, but is in fact "educating" our youth is the real troubling idea. Our country's colleges are full of professors who think likewise. Makes me think seriously about sending my $150 K to put my kid through college.

You may want to consider putting the title of each story in a color. I have friends who don't know that most of the time titles are permalinks.

Have you seen Ayers' recent speech on education that he gave in Venezuela on this point?

re: #49 hermeneutics

Yes the opening was Tina Fey impersonating Sarah. Switch to Sarah and that dork that owns SNL discussing how accurate Tina is. then one of the Baldwin brothers walks up and disses Sarah thinking she's Tina. All fairly lame but Sarah shines IMHO gotta see it to get it. And don't bother looking for the next 20 seconds where Sarah just sets up a lame rap sketch.

This might not be anything but I did a search on Ayers and Obama in google books. I found this book. A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court - Page 82, by William Ayers from that page this quote - Our neighbors include Muhammad Ali, former mayor Eugene Sawyer, poets Gwendolyn Brooks and Elizabeth Alexander, and writer Barack Obama.

I thought there would be more, but he is just describing his neighborhood. But there is several more sentences about Farrakhan as well. Maybe there is more than I think.

Bravo! BRAVO! You've got that exactly right! Ayers past bombings clearly show his attitude about America, and his utter ruthlessness, but the current danger that he presents is precisely what you have noted: his "war by other means" education/indoctrination of America's children.

I disagree with writing any reviews unless you have read some of it.

I have a co-worker who is an Obamaniac. We are both political geeks and have enjoyed a couple of good IM arguments.

I think I undercut her elitist rant a bit. She admits she is an elitist - she went to private schools. She went on and on about how the elite should rule and the hoi polloi are stupid.

I gently said - I went to public schools and state colleges. You know I'm not stupid (she calls me for help on hard tax and cost basis questions) - she does know that. It's just that she WANTS to think the elite are somehow endowed to rule the peons.

She also is aware that her youth is at work here, but she just can't help herself.

re: #64 Palandine

I guess it depends on what issue is important to them. For my friend it was terrorism. For another colleague it was Israel and for yet another it was taxes.

Young people are frequently only half aware of why they like a popular figure whether the figure is a pol or a singer or another sort of celeb. Maybe it is a herd mentality, who knows.

I would suggest you discover her favorite issue and go there.

In 1976 I was besotted with the Dem Convention and the "why not the best?" Carter crap. Fortunately, my uncle Frank talked to me about "Mr. Peanut" and his policies. I voted Ford. At the time it was NOT the policy chat that dissuaded me, it was the ridicule in my uncle's voice. Not ridiculing me, but calling Carter "Mr. Peanut". 18 year olds cave when an iconoclast shatters their false gods

Ayers' in Venezuela for the World Education Forum, November 2006.

An excerpt from this link if you haven't already seen it:

This is my fourth visit to Venezuela, each time at the invitation of my comrade and friend Luis Bonilla, a brilliant educator and inspiring fighter for justice. Luis has taught me a great deal about the Bolivarian Revolution and about the profound educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution, and I’ve come to appreciate Luis as a major asset in both the Venezuelan and the international struggle—I look forward to seeing how he and all of you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane. Thank you, Luis, for everything you’ve done.

re: #67 BakaRanger

Zombie, can you tell me what kind of camera that you use for your field work? I just bought a Minolta digital for about $350 and the resulting pictures are no where close to the quality of yours. Thanks.

Sorry, that is highly classified information. If my enemies knew what camera I used, they'd know what to look for. Hence, my need to keep it secret.

Though I will say: It isn't a Minolta. (Though, in an odd coincidence, the microfilm machine I used today was a Minolta!)

Another secret: The quality of the original raw photo is only half the story. It's what you do afterwards to it that makes it look presentable. (i.e adjusting contrast or brightness, cropping off extraneous edges, etc.) My camera often under-exposes or over-exposes images, and occasionally I'll have to try to subtly adjust the "gamma" and stuff like that so it isn't so dark-looking. I'm actually a rank amateur at sprucing up photo quality, and I don't have the right software. News editors and pro photographers do it routinely on every photo, which is one reason they look so good.

Another secret: I usually take 2 or 3 or 27 versions of every photo, to make sure I get a good one!

re: #79 Odinga

Conservatives can recognize a greater evil and will do what must be done. I have disagreements with McCain but I will support him. Leftists OTOH, are fickle and won't be able to keep momentum going in the face of doubts. Getting them to actually show up and vote is also problematic.

I can't WAIT for the finger-pointing sh*tstorm meltdown the left will have when they lose. I'll be drunk for days.

What strikes me is Joe is in no way an "Obama team member." He's really just "that guy." Obama could have picked someone just somewhat more relevant.. but it wouldn't work alongside the Messiah. Afterall, there can only be One.

What I find heartening (I try not to rely on the polls but DAMMIT! it's hard not to sometimes) is that McCain's support among republicans is up to 9 out of 10. Maybe repubs are waking up and realizing that they just cannot wish their way into a Romney or Thompson presidency. And they're seeing what an Obama presidency would do to the country.

But the loss of 8 points among independents for Obama is significant. Let's hope that is the beginning of a trend, and not just a post-debate bump.

My tiny effort (I don't have a blog, so can't spread it myself):

There's been some interest in a woman named Vera Baker who currently lives in Martinique. The PUMAs and others note that she's sometimes referred to as Obama's "campaign manager" when he was running for the Senate. Sometimes another woman is named as his campaign manager.

When you look at Google Books for the name, you get a page for a fundraiser for Obama for Senate where people are asked to RSVP to Ms. Baker for Obama for Illinois.

Funny how no hard-hitting investigative journalist has asked his boss for travel money to Martinique to discuss Ms. Baker's experiences as Obama's campaign manager with her, or what caused her to move to Martinique.

I predict a November 5 Kos diary to say something to the effect of this:

"Anyone who looks happy today is fair game."

Zogby for Sunday:

Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: Obama 47.8%, McCain 45.1%

McCain slowly gains on Obama

UTICA, New York - Republican John McCain continued a slow advance on Democrat Barack Obama in the race for President, moving back within three percentage points as the race begins to head down the stretch run, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll shows.

McCain now trails Obama by 2.7 points, down from the 3.9 point deficit he faced 24 hours earlier.

Seven-point-one percent of the likely voters surveyed said they remain undecided.

Obama lost five-tenths of a point from yesterday's report, while McCain gained another six-tenths of a point. It was the third consecutive day in which Obama's numbers slipped and McCain's numbers increased.

Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: Obama 47.8%, McCain 45.1%

I think also the night after the debate dinner was the best performance we have gotten in a while out of McCain. He looked relaxed and the jokes were awesome. His writers deserve kudos. He kicked BO's ars. If he could talk in that kind of forum all the time he would win hands down. Funny, funny, and it helped. Everyone was talking about how great it was and how boring the debate was, all except for Joe.

That's at least 10 emails to Drudge. Let's cross our fingers!

I think it's a super scoop right up Drudge's alley. Got my fingers crossed.

One thing I really love about Drudge is he drives the liberals nuts. Some of the speculative lib articles I've read about him are really mindbenders - imagine spending time writing a piece on whether or not he loves Chaka Khan and what that might mean - typical example.

The other thing I love about him is he's how I found LGF.

re: #104 SpartanWoman

But the msm said Obama WON the debate, if they were right it would be Obama who got the fist-bump here.

I think it is the communist bump, the recognition that maybe Obama is truly too risky.

Yeah, that's true. That being the case, it's showing also that the indies aren't necessarily paying that much attention to the MSM. And that's a very good thing.

In early September we had the "Palin bounce". Then there was the "convention bounce". Maybe now we're seeing the "Joe the Plumber bounce".

re: #85 Catttt

I have a co-worker who is an Obamaniac. We are both political geeks and have enjoyed a couple of good IM arguments.

I think I undercut her elitist rant a bit. She admits she is an elitist - she went to private schools. She went on and on about how the elite should rule and the hoi polloi are stupid.

I gently said - I went to public schools and state colleges. You know I'm not stupid (she calls me for help on hard tax and cost basis questions) - she does know that. It's just that she WANTS to think the elite are somehow endowed to rule the peons.

She also is aware that her youth is at work here, but she just can't help herself.

The Democrats' main failing is that they have stopped even pretending to be the "party of the working man" or even of the underclass. Everyone knows they're elitists, and that most elitists are Democrats. It used to be the reverse (or least they used to have a good claim on being the party of the lower/middle class). This may be their downfall (crossing fingers).

It was fantastic. Also, consider, the most disparaging thing about it to Obama (though comedy) is that really, he wasn't even addressing or speaking about Obama the rest of the time. He was speaking "over" Obama's head, referring to the real "big guns;" the giants of the party (the Clintons), and how that affected Obama's campaign. He had Hillary in stiches, which also said a LOT. Truth is comedy!

re: #85 Catttt

I am pretty much one of the Hoi Polloi but have been given responsibility. Not all that sure I want the responsibility but will not give it up to the supposedly better educated. Peoples jobs and lives depend on me making the right choices and my betters know nothing of the consequences since it's all just theory to them. Things would likely run just fine without me but if it went to shit I just don't have confidence the management would have a clue.

Maybe I'm fooling myself so I have can feel important but I'm guessing this country would grind to a halt without the Hoi Polloi.

re: #86 SpartanWoman

I guess it depends on what issue is important to them. For my friend it was terrorism. For another colleague it was Israel and for yet another it was taxes.

Young people are frequently only half aware of why they like a popular figure whether the figure is a pol or a singer or another sort of celeb. Maybe it is a herd mentality, who knows.

I would suggest you discover her favorite issue and go there.

In 1976 I was besotted with the Dem Convention and the "why not the best?" Carter crap. Fortunately, my uncle Frank talked to me about "Mr. Peanut" and his policies. I voted Ford. At the time it was NOT the policy chat that dissuaded me, it was the ridicule in my uncle's voice. Not ridiculing me, but calling Carter "Mr. Peanut". 18 year olds cave when an iconoclast shatters their false gods

The kid is very questioning and honest. I expect she actually has a reason she's voting Obama, unlike many who are hoping for the change of the hope of the change. I'm going to start from there, and go with WHY I'm voting McCain/Palin. No dissing of her choice. No saying anything bad about Obama. Just giving my reasons. I respect her too much to do otherwise.

re: #118 non-lib Nina

McCain was wonderful at the dinner!

I dug up Obama's speech and he was not well received. The guy is a cold bastard and he can't hide it even when he's trying to be funny.

As an example, Obama ridiculed McCain for being old in Obama's speech. "Old" jokes are only funny as SELF-deprecating humor (as Ronald Reagan used to do) and not as mean-spirited ridiculing. It was as cold as if someone had ridiculed Obama for being black.

The NY Democrats in the room cheered very warmly when McCain said that he knew that some of them were pulling for him to win. Obama did not impress this crowd.

One other thing is that when McCain said something like "If I pull this off, it will be a long night for MSNBC" - Brian Williams raised his hand in acknowledgement (if anyone wondered if he was there) but he looked embarassed for MSNBC (AS WELL HE SHOULD!)

John McCain is a better person than Obambi will ever be. It showed that night and a lot of Democrats got to see it, too. Judging by their warmer response to McCain than to Obambi, I hope a few things clicked in their heads (at least on some level.)

Ayers' in Venezuela for the World Education Forum, November 2006.

An excerpt from this link if you haven't already seen it:

EXCELLENT!

People are stuck on Ayers being a "terrorist" (which he is). But he's something even worse: He's also a Communist. And not a metaphorical lower-case "c" communist but a dyed-in-the-wool hardcore Revolutionary Communist, who is going the Grasmsci route (infiltrate the schools) after the violence route failed.

re: #51 stevieray

The vast majority of Americans do not want their children to be propagandized in their schools.

This connection will resonate.

You are right, they do not. The really scary thing?

The education project described in the Web ad, far from being "radical," had the support of the Republican governor and was run by a board that included prominent local leaders, including one Republican who has donated $1,500 to McCain's campaign this year. The project is described by Education Week as reflecting "mainstream thinking" about school reform.

Indoctrinating children with socialist beliefs if definitely very 'mainstream' now.

re: #133 zombie

It's a very scary piece. Ayers turned to terrorism because education wasn't working fast enough to bring down capitalism.

Obama has a lot of threads hanging from his clothes ready for a hard tug. A lot of people have heard about Ayres but don't know that much about him. Same with Rezko, Wright, and Obama's elitism, and now ACORN. All it would take is one good iconic story to hit, something that would highlight what people already suspect and Obama might unravel.

If that office on the third floor were the exact same office that Ayers used -- the very same space. That would be great. We just don't know. They could have had offices on opposite ends of the 3rd floor. We just don't know.

Actually, it's not so amazing. It's what I would expect for such a fine undead gumshoe.

I saw what the media did to Joe the Plumber! I'm taking extra careful steps. All citizen journalism must be done totally anonymously.

Maybe it is time for the GOP to show who the Dems are. Big business that want to be oligopolies or monopolies. Hollywood. The super rich that think American law and order has been bad for war. The idealists that think their pitiful philosophies will overcome rapaciousness. The Baldwin, Kennedy, etc. families that will know they will die in comfort while the country experiments with socialism. The racists minorities that wish to punish whites, other races and are imbued with the racial hatred of all others.

re: #51 stevieray

I have been ranting along these same lines for weeks. The question is not: "why does Obama pal around with Ayers?" but: "why does Ayers pal around with Obama?"

Ayers was a terrorist whose objective was the overthrow of the American government and the establishment of a socialist state in it's place. He abandoned his methods but he has not, to my knowledge renounced his goals, he has simply changed tactics. It seems that he is now committed to change from within by promoting policies and politicians that will lead to the same ultimate objective and Obama is his man.

What's REALLY weird is that Vera Baker had a partnership called Baker Wambu with a woman named Muthoni Wambu. They were political consultants on strategy and fundraising, and because they were Black women, most of their work came from members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Vera Baker's work in fundraising for Obama you know about. But did you know that Muthoni Wambu became the deputy political director of Joe Biden's 2008 Presidential campaign?

And then Joe Biden, Mr. 1 Percent of the Primary Vote, Mr. Barack-Obama-Is-Clean-And-Articulate, gets the nod from Obama as his running mate. Doesn't that smell awfully fishy? Like maybe Biden asked Wambu to ask Baker to persuade Obama to pick Biden? Perhaps someone in Biden's campaign knew that Baker could be extremely persuasive with Barack for some reason.

The Bomber as School Reformer
Ayers Is No Education 'Reformer'

He's been chronicling this style of so-called education reform for a long time now, and has a book out on the subject of the failure of public schools, and is apparently writing another specifically on Bill Ayers and his brand of reform, according to the blurb in the WSJ Op-Ed linked above.

If people are looking to do some rioting in all this, it will be worse if Obama wins (G-d forbid.) One way or another, Obama's message in all this is division, wealth distribution, and property damage.

And if he should win.....it will all happen....and unfortunately all us McCain voters will be caught in all the fall out or should I use "that ones" word and say.....punished

re: #163 itellu3times

Good evening, lizards.

Just checking to vent, why must Obama waste his money in California showing these obnoxious, mendacious ads, when the whole state is in the bag for him already anyway? Just to depress me, I guess.

Personally, I support the idea of 0bama needlessly wasting as much of his own campaign's money as possible.

Hmmm. Sorry if this is a dupe:

Mr Obama is transferring resources to conservative strongholds like Georgia, West Virginia and even Kentucky in pursuit of a landslide victory.

I sense a bitchslap of epic proportions coming. Going after Red states?

re: #173 stuiec

What's REALLY weird is that Vera Baker had a partnership called Baker Wambu with a woman named Muthoni Wambu. They were political consultants on strategy and fundraising, and because they were Black women, most of their work came from members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Vera Baker's work in fundraising for Obama you know about. But did you know that Muthoni Wambu became the deputy political director of Joe Biden's 2008 Presidential campaign?

And then Joe Biden, Mr. 1 Percent of the Primary Vote, Mr. Barack-Obama-Is-Clean-And-Articulate, gets the nod from Obama as his running mate. Doesn't that smell awfully fishy? Like maybe Biden asked Wambu to ask Baker to persuade Obama to pick Biden? Perhaps someone in Biden's campaign knew that Baker could be extremely persuasive with Barack for some reason.

I'd just like to see the media investigate--not because of any potential hanky-panky (I don't care who sleeps with who), but because she is sometimes attributed as being part of the Senate campaign and sometimes not. That, plus the fact that anything factual dealing with her is just GONE from Google (even if you look at the cache, nothing's there) and the internet archive. I didn't know you could "disappear" a person like that from teh interwebz with such success. Why?

re: #183 scratch

Hi Irene. As I said, no offense intended, but "getting the news out" is not the issue. Spamming a website intended for book reviews is the issue.

And what makes you think all the positive reviews for the book on Amazon, giving it a 5-star rating, are not also spam posted by Communists and/or Obots?

Ayers realized that bombs were counter productive. Subverting the education system is more effective, even though it is a long term project.

Bombs are especially counterproductive if they blow up your own cadres during the manufacturing process.

Could someone living in that area go by the building on Monday and report back? Some office buildings are small and have but one or two offices per floor.

re: #192 Irene NYC

Why is it spamming? In a regularly published book review, whether or not the author was a terrorist or any part of his background or ideology are entirely fair game - especially if they should inform the subject of the book.

You honestly don't know what you're talking about, sorry.

I also take exception to your cry for only using the Marquess of Queensbury rules when dealing with ideologies that want to destroy the United States. Do you have ANY idea what lengths these people will go to to achieve their ends?

If a bunch of people head to a book review site with the intent of leaving a large volume of comments without having read the book, especially if the comments are about the author rather than the book, then I consider that spamming. It also strikes me as no more effective--or acceptable--than spray painting Obama yard signs with helpful information for voters.

On another note, I was in NYC for Echo and the Bunnymen a few weeks ago. Great show, great city. On may way to catch an early train home the next morning, I stood in the middle of a deserted 7th Avenue and snapped a photo of Times Square. I wish I could post it here.

Obama has always planned to go after the Red States.

He's late in doing it, that's all.

Meanwhile, Obama is slipping in the Zogby poll and McCain is gaining (with Obama only two points ahead now.)

Gallup's traditional likely voter poll shows Obama only two points ahead.

The polling seems to be too heavily weighted for Democrats in the first place.

I wouldn't panic on the basis of what Obama is doing. Part of his strategy is to make himself seem "inevitable" (as Hillary once was.)

As John McCain has said - NOTHING is inevitable. This is America.

Scratch,
I'm very happy that you had a memorable time in NYC. People who visit and enjoy their stay are our great ambassadors.

Now, back to what you call "spamming." As it happens, someone in my family is a book reviewer. Through this person I've spent many evenings with other professional book reviewers. I cannot tell you how many times they have admitted to not reading the book - only bits and pieces. Really!

Now, anybody who knows Amazon knows that any review is first reviewedvetted itself. So, it's not like someone could write, "Ayers is a filthy terrorist piece of sh*t," and see it published on Amazon. That does not mean, however, that you couldn't easily cadge a line or two from the book, a few quotes from a speech or two and put together a short para exposing Ayers for what he is. Why you consider this spamming is beyond me.

Yes, why? If she's a legitimate businesswoman, why is her Cape Caribbean business now erased from the Web?

And I really do want to know whether it's totally coincidental that Obama picked Biden, possibly the worst of the Democrat alternatives, when Biden's deputy political director was the former partner of Obama's erstwhile D.C. fundraiser.

Thanks for the heads up - I've downloaded it.

You know what makes me mad?

What makes me mad is the cruelly brutal treatment that the totall off the deep end SNL crowd gave Sara Palin. Apparently, decency is not in their language. Like the incredibly edited MSM interview that was solely designed to make her look like an idot, this was a whole new level of partisan smear.

Look I understand that some people want to villify Sara Palin because she' not shamed to be a hunter, or scorn her because she took a Down Syndrome baby to term, or because your most digustingly offensive attacks against her did not stick. I really did not expect any less.

Now go ahead and say the same about the savage misogynist attacks that McCain has leveled on the left...

You aren't just despicable in your affiliations, you are abominable because you treat human life like a throwayay toy.

We are not that stupid.

You know, No Country for Old Men is one [expletive deleted] up movie.

This reminds me of the episode of CSI (the Las Vegas one, that is) where a guy is arrested for building numerous pipe bombs and illegally storing liquid explosives. To eliminate the liquid explosives, they have to destroy them in place, blowing up the guy's house.

As he's being taken to jail, he threatens to sue the city, and claims he's going to own the police station when he's done suing the city. He even says, "As a matter of fact, I'll just live right here! Whaddaya think of that?"

One of the two arresting officers looks at him sternly and says, "We'll get you a room."

While everyone is obsessing over Joe the Plumbers back taxes Obama seems to be embroiled in an ethics violation over taxes.
Just to remind you, Illinois prohibits state legislators from taking speaking fees, and Barack reported "speaking fees.":

re: #233 astronmr20

The title explains it.

The point of the movie is that Hollywood views America as being crap compared to the America that old American men remembered in the 1970s. They picked the 1970s as a time when America became crap, in their view.

The Left (especially in Hollywood) is still stuck in their Vietnam era angst.

They can't express themselves properly without wanting to puke when they think of America. It comes out in films like "No Country for Old Men."
