Check your Eeyorism at the door.

Reason to vote McCain #2454- McCain would rather lose the election that bring up Jeremiah Wright. It is as important to him HOW he wins as the election itself. Mr. Obama is way past all that. From breaking campaign finance laws, voter registration fraud to the lies and duplicity about who he is and what he thinks, Obama is focused only on winning and himself: "we are the ones we have been waiting for" says it all.

I don't see that as a plus. Jeremiah Wright is a legitimate question, and McCain is foregoing this in the name of collegial solidarity. McCain should be exploiting every possible avenue of attack.

"U.S. Senator Barack Obama says he doesn't think his political origins here in Chicago will stain his reputation nationally. He spoke to reporters this afternoon at a loop hotel. Obama says he never wielded clout and he always had the reputation of an independent in the state capital.

OBAMA: There's no doubt that I have friends and continue to have friends that come out of the more traditional school of Chicago politics, but that's not what launched my career and that's not what I've ever depended on in order to get elected.

Obama has recently moved key components of the Democratic party's political machinery from Washington, D.C. to Chicago. He says he doesn't think those operations will be tainted by Chicago's reputation for crooked politics."

re: #36 buzzsawmonkey

Remember that it was not really that long ago that it looked like Hillary would take the nomination, and Obama would not be an issue.

Recall, too, that a great deal of the material on Obama has been nicely buried. It took a while for basic things to come out, and only then did people begin to think, "Oh, yeah--and what about...?"

Remember too that the media have been quite uncooperative, and that it may well be that many people interested in getting information on Obama did not think of the Chicago NPR station because they do not listen to it.

All true - which still begs the question why has the Hillary Campaign not done such search, they were running against B0 from the beginning of this year.
I'd have thought they were a bit more clued-up about him and such stuff than bloggers.

Forget the msm - they have done nothing but oush B0 on both sides of the Atlantic since February. No-one working there would have been given the time to do a search.

Okay, so I blew off work for a few more minutes to do a preliminary search. first off, their search engine is crap. The only way to weed out the recent stories is to search Obama's name and the year you want. 1998 is a lost cause, because it appears in the station's copyright line (1998-2998 WBEZ). So far most everything has been glowing hagiography anyway.

re: #63 buzzsawmonkey

Understand that many people here are political junkies. Nothing wrong with that, but most people are not.

Most people do not even think "communists" exist anymore. Didn't the Soviet Union keel over 20 years ago? The Chinese are capitalist, right--and who cares, really, about North Korea?

If McCain started bluntly explaining stuff in his speeches that is routinely discussed here, he would be mocked, not as an old duffer candidate who is losing, but as an unhinged Vietnam vet who is punch-drunk and re-fighting that war. Never mind that it is the Left which really wallows in Vietnam; that's the way he would come across, not only in the media, but to many people who are listening to him now, and supporting him now.

That's the problem. One generation later and all that stuff is forgotten already.

I think the reason why McCain is ignoring the Wright issue is because America has always been about religious freedoms even when the religion is a freakishly perverse mutated clone of Christianity. McCain should leave this one alone as it will only stir up the bombardment of leftys attacking Gov. Palins religious views even if those attacks have no grounding. Feces attracts flies...

Well, here's how Obama won his first election (fromChicagopublicradio...:

Alan Dobry and Lois Friedberg-Dobry have lived in Hyde Park since the 1950’s. They’re prominent political activists in the neighborhood—and longtime grassroots organizers. Alan Dobry was a Democratic Party committeeman in Hyde Park for 16 years. In 1996, Obama ensured his primary win for state senate by challenging all of his opponents’ nominating petitions—knocking them all off the ballot. The Dobrys helped him do it.

Now they are calling her several times a week to try to persuade her to vote for Obama and even offered her a ride to the polls. Damn those people. They are hassling old ladies.

They are working to get every last vote. Like the guy I work with that everyday, goes from desk to desk, repeatedly, to talk about what he saw in the nwes today (and everything he sees is either anti-McCain or pro-Obama). He is smart of enough to know not to cross the line.

Way too busy at my day job until at least Wednesday. Save them for me! I'm eager to go over them later this week/weekend.

Out of 911 (can't type that without a gutwrench) results for "Obama", it stops at result 114. I was hoping to start w/ older records. Am I doing it wrong?

CHARLES

I sorted my search results by DATE. As I began clicking through each batch toward the oldest date, the countdown of the available files decreased every time.

My first click = 972 results, and a I clicked through to reach the end, my results went to 911, 909, 904, 903, 895, 893, 889, 883, and then the search function froze.

Correct. Sorry RickZ, but these efforts against Obama are coming from angry democrats. If you haven't watched the We Will Not Be Silenced 2008 videos, you should do so before you slam all democrats and potentially drive off allies to help keep Obama out of the Oval Office.

There are liberal patriots too, and the tendency of way too many conservatives to deny that they exist only damages the nation in the long run.

re: #116 funky chicken

Sorry RickZ, but these efforts against Obama are coming from angry democrats.

Sorry yourself, Funky, but any Party that has "superdelegates," wherein one delegate is more important than another, shows the Democratic Party, over-all, to be complicit in Obama being presented to the American people as a good candidate for President.

An interview I heard with Robert Davi (an actor) had an interesting tidbit. The Dems love to praise their Dem heroes, especially Kennedy (like Obama did by going to Berlin, etc.) What Davi said is JFK would be a Republican today, what with how the party has tilted completely off the scales to the left. That makes the Dems complicit, for all the PUMAs whining. The PUMAs are into identity politics just as much as any progressive Dem, and they got bit in the @ss by it. As I said, complicit.

Just another article from 2007 quoting a friend of Obamas as stating that after he lost the election in 1999 against Bobby Rush, Obama discovered the "key" was to sell hope.

“There was a gradual progression of Barack Obama from thoughtful, earnest policy wonk/civil rights lawyer/constitutional law expert to Barack Obama the politician, the inspirer, the speaker.” Denny Jacobs, a friend of Mr. Obama and a former state senator, agreed. “He stumbled on the fact that instead of running on all the issues, quote unquote, that hope is the real key,” he said. “Not only the black community but less privileged people are looking for that hope. You don’t have to talk about health care, you have to talk about ‘the promise’ of health care. Hope is a pretty inclusive word. I think he is very good at selling that.”

Campaign Notebook: Barack Obama on Foreign Policy
[Link: www.chicagopublicradio.org...]

Why is there no audio?

Here's another one, from "New Ground 45-Chicago DSA" report on "A Town Meeting on Economic Insecurity: Employment and Survival in Urban America" with comments by then Sen.Obama "Barack Obama observed that Martin Luther King's March on Washington in the 1960s wasn't simply about civil rights but demanded jobs as well. Now the issue is again coming to the front, but he wished the issue was on the Democratic agenda not just on Buchanan's.

One of the themes that has emerged in Barack Obama's campaign is "what does it take to create productive communities", not just consumptive communities. It is an issue that joins some of the best instincts of the conservatives with the better instincts of the left. He felt the state government has three constructive roles to play.

The first is "human capital development". By this he meant public education, welfare reform, and a "workforce preparation strategy". Public education requires equality in funding. It's not that money is the only solution to public education's problems but it's a start toward a solution. The current proposals for welfare reform are intended to eliminate welfare but it's also true that the status quo is not tenable. A true welfare system would provide for medical care, child care and job training. While Barack Obama did not use this term, it sounded very much like the "social wage" approach used by many social democratic labor parties. By "workforce preparation strategy", Barack Obama simply meant a coordinated, purposeful program of job training instead of the ad hoc, fragmented approach used by the State of Illinois today.

The state government can also play a role in redistribution, the allocation of wages and jobs. As Barack Obama noted, when someone gets paid $10 million to eliminate 4,000 jobs, the voters in his district know this is an issue of power not economics. The government can use as tools labor law reform, public works and contracts."

Here is a 2000 article about Obama and Bobby Rush- it's quite long. Here are some snippets:

For Clee Lowe, a Barack Obama supporter, the fight against segregation is over. Blacks have legal equality. Now the community needs leaders who'll work for economic equality.

"Rush is part of the old guard," Lowe said. "I'm not going to stand here and say his time has passed, but we've got to look at what's good for the whole district. Senator Obama, he is of a new generation. What we are saying is that we are poised and ready to meet the challenges of a new generation, which are more economic."

But while Rush praises the power of education for grade-school students, he shows a suspicion of folks who get too high, especially if they're trying to take his congressional seat. "He went to Harvard and became an educated fool," he says scornfully of Obama, and declares, "We're not impressed with these folks with these eastern elite degrees."

Obama's overeducation left him with an "ivory tower" outlook, Rush charges. In a debate on Cliff Kelley's WVON radio show, Rush, the old street fighter, talked about leading marches to urge punishment for Gregory Becker, the off-duty cop who killed a homeless man in 1995.

"It's not enough for us just to protest police misconduct without thinking systematically about how we're going to change practice," Obama said in measured, mellow tones.
"When Obama first hit town, my recollection is that he came here running some voter registration drive," Palmer said. "He came to our office and tried to get us involved, and we were turned off then. We sent him running. We didn't like his arrogance, his air."

"A group of Chicago religious leaders representing Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities are calling for an immediate end to the war in Lebanon and Israel.

He says Illinois' U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Barack Obama need to help put an end to the conflict."

Here is one: "Obama for Pope"
(I kid u not!)

April 18, 2005
interview 'Eight Forty Eight' I guess that is the name of the segment, i.e. 8:48am

The interviewer's tag line is:
"If there were open nominations for the Papacy,writer-contributor John Green knows whose name he'd submit"

So either or both Green and/or Obama are megalomanics.
Question: doe we want to elect this man who is a Messiah, President of the World, Unicorn-daddy to all these Youth-bots that sing homage to him and now Pope? POPE? for pete's sake,Part of Obama is nuts!

Ironic that the interviewer, John Green wrote a so-called young adult's novel called "Looking for Alaska". Look it up in Amazon to see referral to sexual scenes artfully depicted...
Maybe there is exculpatory info playing the interview as I could not get it to play.

This sounds like a job for the lizardoid army.

Orders received. Will execute.

See you on the other side!

Texas Tech! Guns UP!

I know this view is fairly common in the Democratic party, but nevertheless, it's crazy and frightening:

"We're creating (!) more terrorists in Iraq than we're defeating."

So there seems to be a good reason for terrorism, "occupation".

Ayers is speaking:

In my race to get to the oldest files first, I keep hitting the "NEXT" button, and as the pages take so long to load, I notice that the count of hits has gone from 929(ish) to 909 now.....

Too bad we didn't get a chance for this a month ago! If anything "great" is
found, I think it's too late.

alright. after hitting "next" over and over and over, the highest article level I got to was 301-320 out of 939 (929) 908 (899) 893 (879)....the articles started repeating htemselves. Nothing older than his campaign victories over Hillary. Nothing from 2000, 2001, etc.

In short, a dud.

Anybody have any luck with the "Date" search feature?

I will search later, but that's disappointing. Hmmm.....
