He makes Hillary and her Universal Health Care look like a piker.

And he expects who to believe his bullshit? Other socialists who would say he isn't doctrinaire enough, perhaps.

The really sad part is in 6 days, America will most likely go down the socialist road and elect Obama. I used to live in Europe and there is nothing sexy about 12-15% unemployment. It still sucks even if everyone does have medical insurance.

Wow -- threads coming fast and furious, dizzying my poor embattled mind....

And yes, Obama is a Socialist. All attempts to explain why he isn't are mere sophistry.

Just saw that at Drudge also.

Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

America seems to be collectively closing their eyes, putting their fingers in their ears and going "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la".

Obama's analogy reveals the sick attitude of leftists that confuses charity with theft. Obama sharing his sandwich with others is kindness; Obama forcing me to share my sandwich is socialism.

The Times could not determine their immigration status and an official at Boston City Hall said that Ms Onyango was a resident of Flaherty Way but not registered to vote on the electoral roll. However, that Ms Onyango made a contribution to the Obama campaign would indicate that she is a US citizen. Records at the Boston City Hall confirmed Zeituni Onyango’s birthdate as May 29, 1952.

Look, we're going to win most of the battleground states. Pennsylvania would be the icing on the cake but I'm not sure McCain can pull it off. Virginia is his. So are the Carolinas. Ohio and Indiana are probably safe too.

Colorado, NM and Utah -- these will be ground zero if McCain loses Pennsylvania.

Seems the Chinese never intervened in the Korean war according to that book, and it was painted as American and South Korean aggression after North Korea launched an attack to "defend itself".

I might point out that his business is in the entertainment industry, so voting Republican could actually be a liability if anyone were to find out.

Cadillac Deval says NO, but, the Governors here of late have been famous for saying they would not leave to seek higher office. Mitt told us that, but, he packed up and ran for president, (How'd that work out for ya, Mitt?), and we lost a great governor, just when we needed one most, and got stuck with Deval instead. I hope Mitt comes back to run for governor again in 2 years. As for wanting to see Deval go, Yes, I want to see him go, but, not if it means he goes to a White House cabinet position.

My 14 year old was told by his social studies teacher that he’ll get extra points on his current event assignment this week if it is about the election. Soooooo…we’re doing one on voter registration fraud and his big question is going to be “Why do adults think that lying and cheating is ok? It does not give kids a very good example.”

If we do end up going down this road, it will probably cure the illegal immigrant problem -- they'd rather be poor and destitute in their own countries.

Haven't read all the posts to see if someone said this, but Obama is also big into Soros' Open Society I think its called, open borders (?) - all the worlds poor can come here and get the piece of the other poor man's pie.

Exactly. Those were never Obama's sandwiches in the first place in his ideal world.

Posted this at the dead end of the 'guest list' thread, but I think it's relevant here:

I have an extended family member who is more or less a socialist. Here’s the thing: they are all cut from the same anti-Israel cloth. Obama may or may not have sat silent during a reading of poem that contained anti-Israel content, but it is no different from probably hundreds of conversations he had with his mentors and associates that trash Jews and their so-called “disproportionate responses”.
If anything, Obama’s response was more subdued due to the public nature of the event.
He spent his entire adult life associating with Marxists and socialists and then declared himself a “friend of Israel” because it was politically advantageous. Surely there were dozens, if not hundreds of private conversations where they drank their coffees and trashed Israel. It’s hip and cool, didn’t you know?
Obama has been entrenched in anti-Israel sentiment his entire adult life. This video is only literally just a snippet of the larger, uglier truth.

Also, funny how socialist supporters paint themselves as generous, but who are the real philanthropists? How much do they give to charity of their own free will, without being forced by the government? How do they take care of your extended family?

I am sure he has the moxy to be a success in his business, as do my relates who have been successful in their endeavors. And I certainly can see the wisdom of keeping any conservative ideas hushed if he has to deal with idiotarian Hollywood types. I certainly meant no offense -- just making the observation that sometimes smart people can choose to act quite unsmart.

re: #130 JohnnyReb

Whoever published that textbook needs to be prosecuted for fraud.

Since when has the First Amendment become a license to commit fraud?

Obama told Tom Brokaw in Meet the Press on July 27th:

And, and one thing I want to pick up on, because I think King, King Abdullah [of Jordan] is as savvy a analyst of the region and player in the region as, as there is, one of the points that he made and I think a lot of people made, is that we've got to have an overarching strategy recognizing that all these issues are connected. If we can solve the Israeli/Palestinian process, then that will make it easier for Arab states and the Gulf states to support us when it comes to issues like Iraq and Afghanistan.

It will also weaken Iran, which has been using Hamas and Hezbollah as a way to stir up mischief in the region. If we've gotten an Israeli/Palestinian peace deal, maybe at the same time peeling Syria out of the Iranian orbit, that makes it easier to isolate Iran so that they have a tougher time developing a nuclear weapon.

'Meet the Press' transcript for July 27, 2008

Obama has bought into the idea that Israel is the cause of all the various problems in the Middle East and that they could all be solved if Israel would agree to a peace agreement with the people who are determined NOT to make an agreement that would leave Israel standing.

The notion that all the wars and problems in the Middle East can only be solved by forcing Israel to make suicidal concessions is Obama's plan that would end Israel's existence [G-d forbid.]

I am getting a little amused when I think of the Obama-infomercial and the money spent on it, and just who will watch it. Now who in the right mind watches infomercials nowadays? Only the brain dead or the drug-addled watch the things any more cause the rest of us don't believe the shit that is being peddled mates! It's the same here, the only ones watching be those who are already decided Obamamaniacs. The more of the truth the undecided voters hear about Obama the less likely they are to vote for him. The conservative blogs must continue to attack and I applaud Charles for doing his part!

It occurs to me that young Barry went to kindergarten in Indonesia. Assuming they do that there, perhaps he could tell us about that, too.

I got into a huge row here in SE CT with my sons high school teachers about his history text book. Seems the Chinese never intervened in the Korean war according to that book, and it was painted as American and South Korean aggression after North Korea launched an attack to "defend itself". I went to the PTA meeting and politely disagreed with his history text book, and offered to have my dad flown up to describe his time in Korea and being nearly overrun by about 500,000+ Chinese troops. They declined and my son learned a valuable lesson.

re: #168 CapeCoddah

Howie Carr must be ORGASMIC!

I am getting a little amused when I think of the Obama-infomercial and the money spent on it

It's a convenient way to launder vast sums of money out of the campaign funds and into...who knows where. Once allocated to the campaign, the dough is stuck there, unavailable for use as a slush fund and subject to a host of restrictions and auditing rules. Dump God knows how much into the bottomless bucket of Hollywood-style accounting, and you've suddenly got a tidy mountain of cash that doesn't exist on record anywhere.

Let's face it - the "infommercial" is a complete joke. It will enthrall those who are already committed to Obama, and everyone else is going to flip right past it in search of entertainment. I don't see a single mind being swayed by this effort. Which leaves money laundering as the most likely excuse for it.

It certainly doesn't indicate a candidate who will be restrained when it comes to spending.

All the ads and exposure sure sounds like the Hollywood technique of "four-walling"; taking a turkey of a production and hoping it recoups the cost by throwing up handbills on all four walls in a media blitz. Four-walling nearly never works except to further increase the debt of the production.

A cult of personality is the creation of a heroic or godlike public image through mass media and propaganda. Cults of personality are usually found in dictatorships and backward nations. The main reason to create a cult of personality is to obtain undying devotion of the people. When people started worshiping Stalin as a god, he was given ultimate power. Through the cult of personality Stalin was able to set up his personal dictatorship and run unopposed and unquestioned. Due to the small number of people who did oppose him he had no problem killing them.

There are 4 main ways Stalin’s cult of personality was created:

* Censorship of anything that might reflect badly on Stalin
* Propaganda everywhere - pictures, statues, continuous praise and applause, Places named after him
* Word of mouth: Mothers taught their children that Stalin was ‘the wisest man of the age’
* History books and photographs were changed to make him the hero of the Revolution, and obliterate the names of purged people (e.g. Trotsky).

The main reason for propaganda was pretty much the same as that for the cult of personality, provided a better grip on power, but propaganda also had a wider range of uses:

* To establish a personal dictatorship
* To support, build and expand soviet power
* To attack enemies
* To control people
* To increase the war effort
* Create a feeling of unison

There were 7 main ways in which propaganda was spread:

1. Posters
2. Art
3. Literature
4. Film
5. News
6. Education
7. Youth groups

The arrogance of LA Times is beyond comprehension. They abandon any possible journalistic ethics in the same spirit as the 60 minute debacle by CBS. Their consummer advocate argues non-sense against those he advocates and the Times staff don't understand that their share-holders demand a profit and their jobs are at risk for the LA Times blatently un-ethical actions. Resulting in lost subscriptions by viewers demanding ethical treatment of valid political stories.
/Socialism = fair and balanced.

“I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

Wow! How did they threaten her? CAN'T TALK...indeed!

The are not broadcasting it in Boulder, Co. The Boulderites simply will be channelling the Big O. Nanoo Nanoo

They'll pick up the signal in their crystal pyramids -- or the transmitters built into their Birkenstocks.

"Far out, man -- The supreme leader is, like, contacting me."

re: #203 SixDegrees

Let's face it - the "infommercial" is a complete joke. It will enthrall those who are already committed to Obama, and everyone else is going to flip right past it in search of entertainment. I don't see a single mind being swayed by this effort.

And if you're so fortunate as to have Dish Network, the One has bought an entire 'OBAMA' channel to run the infomercial 24/7.

I predict it has lower viewership than the TV Guide channel.

The most effective form of propaganda was news reels:

* propaganda was be easily disguised and broadcast as news
* popularize and support the state and its decisions (ex. masked the failure of the 5 year plan)

Stalin deemed education to be a vital part of c being a communist, because if children are taught to be communists the brain washing is more effective. Stalin reformed the education system when he came to power. This reform was good for the people and made education more effective and accessible but I also contained some reforms that could be called introducing propaganda into the school system:

* Communism and Stalin were fused into most subjects
* Some subjects were rewritten Ex. history, Stalin was given a greater part in the revolution
* train young people for slots in the economic, social, political and cultural life of the state
* Uniforms were introduced to create the feeling on unity

Youth groups were another form of propaganda implemented on children:

* Children were instructed to follow the party’s ideas
* But also did fun activities
* Shared a common uniform to once again create a feeling on unity
* Youth groups were very popular
* most famous Russian youth group was Communist League of Youth
* over 9 million members
* Children from youth groups were frequently photographed with Stalin

The use of propaganda was vital for the creation of Stalin’s cult of personality and one of the more important parts if it was how Stalin associated himself with Lenin after his death:

* Stalin embalmed Lenin against his wives wishes
* Created a cult round Lenin's death despite Lenin's ideals
* Associated him self with Lenin
* Declared him self Lenin's natural successor

Stalin did all this so that he could then transfer Lenin’s cult of personality onto him self. He was successful and this brought about the era of Stalinization:

* Stalin was everywhere:
* Every house hold had a picture of Lenin and Stalin
* Constant parades were held in his honor
* Streets were filled with huge posters
* Stalin’s statues were raised everywhere

* He was given titles such as "Coryphaeus of Science," "Father of Nations," "Brilliant Genius of Humanity," "Great Architect of Communism," "Gardener of Human Happiness,"
* Soviet history rewritten to provide himself a more significant role in the revolution.
* Stalin was even included in the national anthem

To conclude:

* The Russian people shouldn’t be blamed for the atrocities that were that were made possible through their support of the regime and Stalin
* Continues propaganda effectively brain washed and clouded their judgment
* They truly believed that Stalin was unaware of the crimes on humanity that became so banal during his rule and though he really worked for their interest
