<p>ACORN -- Barack Obama's favorite left-wing community organizing group -- is finally getting the scrutiny from law enforcement it deserves.</p> <p>A Nevada voter-fraud task force raided the state headquarters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now on Tuesday and seized computers and equipment.</p>

Now in a time of war and financial meltdown, we have a relatively unknown candidate for the highest office in the land, who keeps fluffing off reports of radical associations as if he is swatting a mosquito away, and you just accept his nonsensical answers at face value. Let's recap some of what Barrack Obama seems to have skated passed the American media -- and by default -- much of the American public. First comes the twenty-year association with a very racist, radical and politically-incorrect Reverend Wright, who is on tape ranting and raving about the American government, white people,...

Barack Obama speaking to a very partisan crowd in Philadelphia right now. Said he appreciated Senator McCain trying to calm down the heated rhetoric yesterday and being respectful and that McCain has served this nation with honor (the sound of crickets...no applause), he then followed it up with "Senator McCain is OUT OF TIME" Obama just said it...in his words...it's over.

Imagine the excitement of the mainstream media if they had discovered that some preacher up in Alaska had declared Sarah Palin to be like a deity? Well, the same basic thing happened when the Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, declared Barack Obama to be a messiah as you can see in this video. I believe this messianic pronouncement by Farrakhan was made last February but the video was uploaded to YouTube just yesterday. Better save this video before it gets scrubbed by the Thought Police. I don't know which is creepier, the pronouncement of Obama as...

This is food for thought and should be a question posed during this campaign over and over.We are electing a man who is to granted access to information on par with holding the highest level of security clearance available in our land. Past or present, association with known terrorists would disqualify anyone from any level of security clearance in the United States, particularly a high-level, correct?

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Republican Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign disavowed an introduction here yesterday that included Democratic Sen. Barack Obama's middle name, Hussein. William Platt, chairman of the Lehigh County Republican Party, twice referred to "Barack Hussein Obama," which other supporters of McCain and running mate Sarah Palin have used to link the Democratic candidate with Muslims. Obama is not a Muslim. McCain has disavowed the tactic, most recently when it was employed earlier this week. "We do not condone this inappropriate rhetoric which distracts from the real questions of judgment, character and experience that voters will base their decisions...

Boy, the way the Foo Fighters will play. Songs that hit the May Day parade.Reparations, we'll have to pay. Those will be the days.Build a bigger welfare state.

" From: SALLYxxxx This election has me very worried... Why isn't this in the news??? After reading the article, Google all these names, the amount of info is amazing. This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six...

Here’s a photo of former Weather Underground terrorist (and friend of Barack Obama) William Ayers in 2001 (when Obama was much older than 8), proudly stepping on a United States flag.

In October 1939, a month after Great Britain declared war on Germany in that unpleasantry a few of us history buffs remember as “World War II,” Winston Churchill said of communist Russia: “It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma...” In true Churchill form, he added wryly, “But perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.” In other words, if you want to decode “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,” just consider the underlying “interest.” A year ago, Barack Hussein Obama was something of an enigma, but his interests are now...

The more Obama's pals open their mouths, the less reason people have to vote for him. Democrats keep forming their firing squads in a circle. Such humor proves true as supporters of Democratic nominee Barack Obama provide help that does more harm than good. Democrats are in a state of high anxiety ... How does South Carolina Democratic chair Carol Fowler lend a hand? By saying Sarah Palin’s only qualification for vice president was not having an abortion. Thanks Carol. That was a big help. Then again, maybe she was trying to outdo her husband, former Democratic National Committee chair...

Sing for Obama

Slavery still stalks the American consciousness, its wounds yet festering in many hearts. If Barack Obama were to set his mind to it, he could heal much of the damage this peculiar institution wrought on our national soul. This great and tragic error that must be given justice. Obama is the best person in the world who can recognize, remember and honor the deaths of 125 million and the enslavement of tens of millions of people. His unique qualifications can be found in his names. Until he was 20 years old, he went by the first name Barry. Then he...

Adult Magazines Weigh In On Politics BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University's Kinsey Institute has a new exhibit on sex and presidential politics, featuring adult magazines from every presidential election year since 1976. Only two are from the current campaigns, including a profile of Democrat Barack Obama in the Advocate, a gay magazine, and an article on Republican John McCain in Playboy, said Liana Zhou, director of the institute's library and archives. "Will the sexuality become part of the (decision-making) factor?" she said. "You don't know what stays in people's heads when they're behind the voting curtain. What images will you...

Give credit where credit is due, blame the Democrats for their equality of outcome incompetence. A blind person could see more than the Democrat cronies who were running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FMs) up to now. There is none so blind as those who refuse to see. The Democrat’s ideological blinder was the Equality of Outcome policy they implemented to push home ownership to people who simply weren't capable of being homeowners. In 2003, the Bush Administration tried to head off the problem with the FMs but Democrats would have none of it, the NYT recorded their excuses for...

It's a little early to play the race card, but the Obama partisans, if not Barack Obama himself, are scared. They don't know what else to do to get their expectations, so carefully nurtured over spring and summer, in line with reality. The mainstream media's ganging up on a pregnant 17-year-old girl didn't work. Neither did the candidate's calling her mother a pig. After Mr. Obama became the inevitable president, dispatching Hillary Clinton, the inevitable nominee, his cult thought it was going to be a downhill coast to a left turn into Pennsylvania Avenue. Alas, the slam dunk - the...

A must see...pass it on!

Source Tells Chicago Paper Actress Would Not Be 'A Positive' Apparently Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama isn't interested in a helping hand from actress Lindsay Lohan. According to the Chicago Sun Times, Lohan purportedly offered to host a series of events to appeal to young voters, but the Obama campaign quietly told the "Mean Girls" star "thanks, but no thanks." A top source told the Sun Times that Lohan ''is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.'' Lohan has been busy with political commentary on her blog, and on Sunday she slammed...

US Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama delivers a policy speech on economy at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado, on September 16, 2008. In a presidential-style address to the nation, Barack Obama vowed Wednesday to unite left and right in a common mission to rescue the stricken US economy.

Obama tried to silence this interview now you can here it HERE Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author. It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an "Obama Action Wire" alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat. Monday night's target was David Freddoso, who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Chicago time. "The author of the latest anti-Barack hit book is appearing on WGN Radio...

There is a secret group in the Obama-Biden campaign tasked with shutting off any leaks from the record that links Barack Obama to his longtime adviser and mentor Bill Ayers, professor of education at the University of Illinois and unrepentant Weatherman terrorist and fugitive from the 1970s. This surprising fact has been developed by Chicago-born and Ralph Nader-supporting Professor Steve Diamond of Santa Clara University Law School, who maintains the Global Labor and Politics blog and has pieced together over many months the unusual surreptitious activity around the public records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) grant now housed at...

Help for Obama's Shack-Living Brother September 10, 2008 06:05 PM ET | Paul Bedard | Permanent Link It was only a matter of time: A website has been created to provide donations to Sen. Barack Obama's half brother, who lives on $12 a year in a shack in Kenya. Called Help Obama's Brother, the site draws attention to George Hussein Onyango Obama, living in a hut in the "tough" town of Huruma on the outskirts of Nairobi. "If Barack Obama won't send his brother a few bucks for rent, we can step up and help a brother out," headlines the...

"Muslim Outreach Proves A Tricky Issue For A Campaign Lauded As Multicultural," by Sean Higgins for Investor's Business Daily, August 25 (thanks to Diana West): Key Aide Hasn't Really Quit Last month, his coordinator for Muslim outreach, Mazen Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, quit after reports that he belonged to the board of an Islamic investment fund that included a radical imam. Asbahi has not stopped working on behalf of Obama, though. He appeared at the luncheon to say that despite his official exit he was still "110%" behind Obama and that he was participating in campaign conference calls on Muslim...

Now that the conventions are over, it is evident that the battle of John McCain is over (McCain won) and the battle of Barack Obama will determine the outcome of the election. Obama was wrong to invest so much in the Bush-McCain linkage... Now, after the massive exposure McCain got at his convention and the demonstrable commitment to change embodied in the selection of Sarah Palin, it is too late. The Obama campaign doesn’t seem to get that it is running against McCain, not Sarah Palin. They spent the entire Republican convention and the week since attacking the vice presidential...

Barack Obama retreated on another key policy yesterday, and this one has repercussions for his entire economic and spending plan. Obama acknowledged in an interview on ABC that rescinding the Bush tax cuts in a recession...would be destructive. Obama has proposed almost $300 billion in new spending in his presidential campaign. If he can’t raise taxes, at least in his calculation, all of that becomes deficit spending. He wants to accuse McCain of fiscal irresponsibility for supporting the extension of the Bush tax cuts, but his spending plans now have no revenue. How exactly does that express responsibility? Obama has...

I don't know if this has been posted yet. I found this picture rather interesting especially considering all the flags that were thrown away.

Watch Obama at a campaign event yesterday, September 6, 2008, in Terre Haute, Indiana. Obama:"People ask me what are your impressions of America? What have you learned since being president? uh uh no no! Since being a candidate for president."

Hello fellow FReepers, Are you tired of Barack Obambi and the lamestream media tearing apart our SarahCuda? Barack Obama has just presented us with a GOLDEN opportunity to destroy his Get Out The Vote efforts - all from the comfort of our computer chair. Do you have 5 minutes to spare? You will be anonymous - and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE! Here are the details: Barack Obama has just started an on-line way for his "supporters" to actively participate in his Get Out The Vote drive. It is called "Neighbor-to-Neighbor". Essentially, you "register" on his web site and they provide you with...

While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

In a shocking turn of events, an anonymous source has revealed that Vice Presidential hopeful, Sarah Palin hunts and eats kittens and then hangs their heads over her fireplace. The revelation is certain to sink the McCain campaign. "At first I thought the pick of Sarah Palin was a stroke of genius, but now we know the truth about what kind of person she is. There is no way any pet owner in American will vote for Palin now," said an anonymous, unbiased mainstream media writer. Bloggers have expressed their outrage at the information. "I'm a lifelong Republican and was...

Please see the previous threads detailing Barack Obama's failed efforts in the 90th and 91st General Assemblies of the Illinois Legislature: Barack Obama's failed "accomplishments" in the 90th GA of the Illinois Legislature (1997-1998) Barack Obama learns to "get help" - and fails in the 91st GA of the Illinois Legislature (1999-2000) Barack Obama decided to spend his last two years in the Illinois Senate going after peoples guns.

Barack Obama wrote and introduced 36 bills during the 91st General Assembly (1999-2000). Of these, 33 bills were failures, and 3 became law. The first...

Barack Obama is one heck of a community organizer - that is, if you count organizing a directory of Community College graduating students. This was Barack's sum total of TWO YEARS spent in the Illinois Senate. Here is a link to Mr. Obama's activity during the 90th General Assembly (1997-1998): http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet90/sponsor/OBAMA.html You can see from the link that Barack Obama sponsored (wrote and introduced) 31 bills over the two year period. Of these, 28 died on the vine - leaving only 3. The first, SB0574, provided that "a municipality may provide for a system of administrative adjudication of violations of...

Barack Obama's Law Personality:Harvard Law Review's first black president plans a life of public service. His multicultural background gives him unique perspective. By Tammerlin Drummond Times Staff Writer **SNIP** "One of the luxuries of going to Harvard Law School is it means you can take risks in your life," Obama said recently. "You can try to do things to improve society and still land on your feet. That's what a Harvard education should buy-enough confidence and security to pursue your dreams and give something back." **SNIP** The son of a Kenyan economist and an American anthropologist, Obama is a tall...

The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News’ “The O’Reilly Factor.” As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people. “I think that the surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated,” Obama said while refusing to retract his initial opposition to the surge. “I’ve already said it’s succeeded beyond our wildest...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Barack Obama is drawing gasps from pro-life advocates today over comments he made during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania over the weekend. The leading Democratic presidential candidate appeared to back a potential decision by his daughters to seek an abortion saying he wouldn't "punish" them with a baby. Obama's comments came in the context of off-the-cuff remarks addressing the issue of AIDS. The candidate indicated he favored teaching both abstinence education as well as sexual education and he appeared to be hard-pressed to come up with something else to say when he brought up his daughters....

"Hello, I'm calling from Gaza. I want some of your time.

Original caption: Senator Robert Byrd is a mentor for Senator Barack Obama

The Democrat's convention featured a historic presidential nomination: Barack Obama. He's the first black man to represent a national party, he's very eloquent, smart, gives a great speech and has added an energy to the presidential election unheard of in our history. No matter what you say about the man's politics, one thing that cannot be denied is that this nomination shows that this country is moving forward with regards to race. However, as good as this progress is, there's just one thing about Obama that tarnishes his nomination, and you can see what it is for yourself in this...

The nomination of Obama was indeed an historic event. Obama's nomination is a giant step forward for America and for society in general. There's just one thing keeping his convention from being perfect. NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and refrain from posting a copy of the comic in the thread.

As I was watching the spectacle last night I couldn't help but notice that Hussein's mole is missing in action. Did they perhaps remove it while he was in HI? Or was it hidden under that pound of makeup?

Former governor Mitt Romney, perhaps continuing his audition to be John McCain's running mate, attacked Barack Obama today for making an issue out of McCain's many homes. Speaking to reporters at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Romney said that while McCain deserved his houses because of the "hard work" of himself and his family, "Barack Obama got a special deal from a convicted felon." "I think it was a strange thing for Barack Obama to seize upon," Romney said. "If homes is going to be the topic of discussion that Barack Obama is going to end up...

Interesting results from a group of polls conducted in key swing states by Quinnipiac University were released Tuesday.

In both Florida and Ohio, Obama's numbers are down since July. "Eight weeks ago, Sen. Barack Obama was on top in all three of these key swing states and that would make his election almost a sure thing ... McCain...
