Question: What Do Obama and Osama bin Laden Have in Common?

Must share. Outstanding. HAHAHAHAHA

They also share the same name in common. “Obama” is Swahili for “Osama”.

Dude, at least give some credit to Rush for saying it.

Rush? Who’s Rush? Isn’t that, like, some 80’s rock band?

Get it right when you steal: “…they both have friends…”

“Did you know that Barack Obama was a member of the leading socialist party? In a small omission, Barack Obama apparently forgot to include in his resume, he entered politics as a socialist. This just keeps getting better and better. Barack Obama was active participant in the 1990s of the Chicago New Party and, importantly, the Chicago DSA, a group of socialists affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.”

1- Barack Obama attended and participated in meetings the Chicago New Party and the Chicago DSA, the local affiliate of the Democratic Socialists of America.

2- Barack Obama sought the endorsement of the Chicago DSA.

3- Barack Obama actively used the endorsement from the Chicago DSA.

4- Barack Obama won his DSA-endorsed and backed campaign to secure his seat in the Illinois State Senate.

5- Barack Obama continued his involvement with the Chicago DSA and received their endorsements in subsequent campaigns.

couldn’t comment on this from work, would be frowned on you know, but there was almost a latte on the keyboard. too funny.

They both favor book bannings? No wait, that’s Sarah Palin and Adolf Hitler.

(I know she only asked about banning books, but she didn’t ask because she wanted to protect them)

They both lost to Barack Obama? No wait, that’s Hilary Clinton and (soon to be) John McCain.

Here is one for you Fit Fit:

Question: What Do Obama and Osama bin Laden Have in Common?

They were both borned MUSLIMS.

Republican Clears Obama On Ayers

Uh-Oh…Ayers won’t work anymore…Some republicans from Chicago are saying what most of us knew all along. Bill Ayers was a commonly acceptable figure in Chicago by everyone–Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans. Are they all America hating, terrorist loving traitors to America?!

In fact, this NPR link below speaks to the Republican funded cause that Obama and Ayers worked on together. And that:

“It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier,” said former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson, who worked with both Obama and Ayers over the years. “It’s ridiculous. There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It’s nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It’s so silly.”

Yesterday, in a rehash of the mainstream media acknowledged issues of the day, NPR did a short piece on Obama and Ayers. Fortunately for many, they made news.

First, Obama began working with Ayers and others (Republicans, Independents, and Democrats) at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Well, what is the Anneberg Challenge? Who is Annenberg? Well according to NPR:

The Obama campaign says he first met Ayers in 1995, when Obama became chair of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a $50 million fund that awarded grants to groups trying to implement new programs to improve inner city education in Chicago.

Walter Annenberg, a lifelong Republican and former ambassador who was appointed by Presidents Nixon and Reagan, funded an ambitious program to reform urban education in many cities in the mid 1990s. Ayers was an important member of the group that developed and wrote the grant proposal to the Annenberg Foundation.

(Walter Annenberg also started TV Guide and Seventeen magazine; His wife and Nancy Reagan were best friends–some terrorist link.)

Second, there were people of all political persuasions working on this effort with this “terrorist” Ayers and who saw him as acceptable and Obama was no closer than any of the others.

…no one on the board or on the Annenberg Challenge staff remembers Obama being any closer to Ayers than to any other member of the board. The Annenberg board also included several civic, business and education leaders, many of them Republicans…

In fact one person close to the issue states:

“I don’t remember ever hearing anyone raise concerns or questions or concerns about [Ayers'] background,” says Anne Hallett, who has worked closely with Ayers on the Annenberg Challenge grant and with Obama on education and other community and legislative matters. “And that included everybody I was engaged with,” including prominent Republicans, and corporate and civic leaders in Chicago, Hallett adds.

Oh, really?!

So not only was Obama working on a Republican funded initiative, but prominent Republicans were involved on the board with Ayers. Do they all hate America so much that they are “palling” around with terrorist? He had been in their midst for years, why did not the republican’s run him out of town.

Obama was new to Chicago. He hadn’t been elected to anything. He really did even know where the bodies where truly buried in Chicago (evidenced by the thumping he received when he ran for the congress against Bobby Rush). He just wanted to serve the community and do good work. However, Ayers had been there for years, building a reputation that was so mainstream that a life long Republican, who was a former Ambassador appointed by Nixon and Regan, allowed the release of $50 Million to let him, prominent Republicans, corporate, civic leaders, form a board and select this a Harvard trained community organizer to oversee the disbursement of these funds related to school reform.

And finally, the author notes:

Hallett calls this attack on Obama’s association with Ayers and the Annenberg Challenge by further association, “a smear campaign. It’s a political diatribe that has no basis in fact. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was an extremely positive initiative. It was well-vetted, thorough, and the fact that it is now is being used for political purposes is, in my opinion, outrageous.”

And as noted earlier a former Illinois Republican state representative states:

“It was never a concern by any of us in the Chicago school reform movement that he had led a fugitive life years earlier,” said former Illinois state Republican Rep. Diana Nelson, who worked with both Obama and Ayers over the years. “It’s ridiculous. There is no reason at all to smear Barack Obama with this association. It’s nonsensical, and it just makes me crazy. It’s so silly.”

I don’t have a transcript. However the article provides the link to the audio.
(http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95442902)

My purpose hear is to have the people spread the word, because most of the right leaning center and many independents don’t even listen to NPR. I know that many far right Republicans will not be swayed. But it looks likely that Obama may be president and we need to get some real perspective. We have too many problems facing this nation to foment subversion by claiming treason and terrorist. It’s wrong and has to stop.

Many Chicago republicans are now starting to stand up and be counted. They recognize the potential outcome, if this unpatriotic untrue diatribe continues. Frankly, I don’t think that they were saying Osama when they said “Kill Him” at the Palin rally yesterday.

Email this to everyone you know, and get it in the hands of more in the main stream media, so that they can fight this attempt to destroy Obama and make him unacceptable as president and literally put his life in danger.

Digg the story. (http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Obama_s_Links_To_Ex_Radical_Examined)

Not only is this William Ayers issue unfair from an emotional and logical appeal of the unfairness of guilt by association, but its wrong on the facts. No one including Obama (Democrats, Republicans, or Independents) who all love this country like Obama does, saw Ayers based on his acts 20 plus years earlier, but as another person trying to do God’s work to better the future of children from some of the toughest meanest areas of Chicago.

In fact, as a right leaning independent, what is even more compelling, is that as the head of this initiative, even then Obama was working with people of all sides (Republicans, Independents, and Democrats) to get something done. That should make American’s happy–even then he was willing to work with everybody. I am so tired of far right and far left…really really tired…they just won’t stop fighting and we all suffer.

@Mike’s America:

Mike, the lefty blogs have flooded the net with this garbage. It *doesn’t matter* who is supporting Bill Ayers, Republican, Independant or democrat, it shows that some in all walks of life are *using the same extremely bad judgement* as Obama.

Anyone that would make an effort to white wash and forgive an “UNREPENTENT” domestic terrorist who orchestrated bombings on our soil that did kill people and set out to kill even more—-Fort Dix, has mental problems that need to be addressed. Anyone that would forgive either Ayers or his wife Bernadine Dorhn for their vile behavior that stretched from the 70’s to this day, as she is also “UNREPENTENT” is obviously someone who is either ignorant of what these people and their associates(Obama) are about to unleash on this country, or they simply do not care. They might be out of the bombing business, but they are still plotting to wreak havoc on this country.

And don’t tell me about Chicago Republicans, they are as crooked as the dems. I live here, Obama is my Senator and he is in the tank with these people and their screwed up marxist educational agenda. Chicago pols will sell their souls for money and power.

Note, how the excuses by Obama’s campaign keep changing daily. They shouldn’t have lied in the first place.

This is what I find disturbing about all of this:

Whatever type of person Obama’s “friends” are – substitute rapist, child molester, or child pornographer and see heads spin. That actually might be funny on some of the sock puppets…….

The Dems would drop Obama like a sack of potatoes……

Mike –

No offense friend – but apostasy under Islam is even confusing to some in Islam and can be controversial. Wikipedia isn’t always a good source but much in this link appears accurate to my knowledge: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam

Of course the funny thing about all this is what we are hearing out of our Islamic friends around the world about Obama – that alone provides some clues – but no concrete evidence.

@Erika:

Ummm….

If you’re going to post here you need to get yourself up to speed very quickly.

So far your posts have been absent a critical component: FACTS.

Do you know anything AT ALL about Islam? Anything?

Didn’t think so.

Do your research, and stop talking about things you know nothing about.

By the way Obama is NOT half black. He’s half Arab.

I understand that the real reason you want to vote for Obama is because, dare I say it, you’re stupid.

Wanna talk about why I’m not going to vote for Obama?

Wanna talk about the “Born Alive Infant Protection Act”?

Wanna talk about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and 20 plus years of hate?

Wanna talk about Bill Ayers, the Weather Underground, bombs at the Pentagon and the US Capitol?

Wanna talk about ACORN?

Wanna talk about FreddieMac and FannieMae?

Probably not.

@Aye Chihuahua: First of all, what “FACTS” are you talking about? You didn’t mention any. All you said is something that is totally not true. Obama’s father is from Kenya, not Egypt or Algeria or one of those Arabian countries in Africa. Therefore he is half BLACK. Take your own advice, get yourself up to speed very quickly.

Erika,

Having spent an extensive amount of time in the horn of Africa as well as other parts

Them Arabs are everywhere and have been for centuries…….

But to be fair - So have the African/Blacks, Europeans, Indians, etc……. THINK TRADE - not just slave trade

@BukerStreet: Strong enough to listen to what, some clever photoshop ameteurs. I agree with alot of conservative views. I don’t agree with gay marriage, or abortion. I just don’t want our country getting worse than it already is, thx to the Bush Administration, and a vote for McCain is a vote for Bush #3. It makes me sick that people are so susceptible to propaganda. Trying to make a connection with Obama and Arab terrorists, simply because his name is Barack Obama. There’s so much more to a person than their name. For instance that moran Aye Chihuahua, perfect example. Thinks Obama is arab because of his name. He is NOT ARAB.

Erika,

Kinda ironic that you spout propaganda.
Do you know what a lemming is?

@Erika:

I just don’t want our country getting worse than it already is, thx to the Bush Administration

Elucidate please.

Trying to make a connection with Obama and Arab terrorists, simply because his name is Barack Obama.

Really?

Who is doing that?

For instance that moran Aye Chihuahua, perfect example.

Now that right there is some funny stuff.

I’m a “moran”?

What is that exactly?

Or did the person who sees herself as the smartest person in the room mean to say “moron” instead?

Thinks Obama is arab because of his name.

I think Obama is Arab because of his name?

Really?

Where did I say that?

He is NOT ARAB.

Truthfully I know that Obama is half Arab because I have researched his family tree.

Have you?

I know for a fact that he is only 6.25% black.

My first retirement choice was a beach home in Mombasa…

I am done I have to get back to the world of Erika.

And we have flameout folks.

She cannot take the pressure of the truth.

She cannot handle the weight of the facts.

So off she goes back to her own little fantasy world.

What color is the sky in your world, Erika?

@Mike’s America: Okay, so I just got home and on my screen, I see you calling me a racist. I find that strange, do you know what race I am? I was responding to the “between the lines” crap you were writing. How presumptuous of you to call me a “self hating racist” and who is my “bunch” that would call anyone a “house slave, or Aunt Jemima” I would not associate with anyone who would use such derogatory terms, about ANY race. To quote a shirt that I have “There is only one race, and it is human, anything else is just culture”.

To MataHarley

It’s not propaganda, when McCain has voted with Bush 90 percent of the time.

@Erika:

@Erika:

Two more posts by Erika and still no FACTS.

Not surprising.

Not surprising at all.

@Erika: I think that before you come on this site and accuse ANY of the members of being racists and not choosing Obama because he’s black, you should better check the facts yourself. None of us on this site have EVER disagreed with Obama because of his race. We disagree with him on policy issues, his horrid judgements of the past, his never-ending flip-flops, and his connections that he’s CONSTANTLY trying to downplay 24/7. I don’t know what you take us for, but none of us here at FA are stupid enough to not vote for someone because of his race. We’re informed, conservative voters from varying ages and backgrounds who look deeply at the facts and not some petty factor like race to come to the right decision. So for you to come in to this post accusing us of being racists for not voting for Obama is downright shameful.

I would really like to know why you’re voting for Obama, though. Feel free to share with us, please.

If not, then do us all a favor and stay out of our boards until you take a real, hard look at the candidate that you’re (foolishly) choosing and until you form a firm, educated candidate decision. If you find Obama to be the right guy for our country after your research, then so be it. But if you’re going to bring race into this, then just go back into your own, purple-skied world.

And honestly, I have never heard a mother, an adult, use the term of “I’m going back into the world of Erika.” I’m not exactly convinced you are who you say you are.

Erika… INRE your comment:

To MataHarley

It’s not propaganda, when McCain has voted with Bush 90 percent of the time.

So has Obama. Most bills that have come up for vote have been not the contested issues… anything from resolutions that honor some football team or person, to whatever.

It’s a cute trick in the number game, but doesn’t wash in reality.

You might want to find out how many times Obama has voted to cross the aisle and try to unite parties on a contested issue. Won’t take you long… I’ll help you out… zero.

Don’t be fooled by sound bytes. And both parties use them. The two have something in common…. they are both politicians, they are both running for office, and they try to abbreviate facts in a shortened version that leaves the impression one is better than the other.

Genuinely one *is* better than the other. But you won’t find it in these trick sound bytes.

Hopefully you’re not a parent of a school age child. If you are, you may want to read up on Obama’s educational beliefs… which happen to mirror that “chicago intelligentsia”, William Ayers. Now, if Rosa Luxemburg and Saul Alinsky represent your personal beliefs of what you want for this nation, and how you want your children or grandchildren taught… you are in the right campaign camp.

If, however, you are not. You may want to do a bit of snooping as to the things Obama denounces as “distractions”.

BTW…. Mike’sA is absolutely no racist. Sometimes, to interject yourself into a community of regulars, you might want to do some background reading of other posts by that author before “reading between the lines”. Jus’ a suggestion…

The heading for this post was, What does Osama Bin Laden and Obama have in common?

Erika,

I think it’s Mike’s way of intentionally pushing buttons. I wouldn’t take this post THAT seriously, to heart.

When people say in their little polite circles, they can’t vote for Obama, because of his Arab or Muslim ties-which is totally untrue he is neither Arab or Muslim.

I think it’s deplorable when I come across people on right-wing blogs who make those statements. It gives validity to the liberal charge of racism, bigotry, prejudice, and I think hurts our side, politically with those in the center mainstream.

What some of the pitbulls here jumped all over, as far as I can see, is the sense that you were branding them as “racist”, without really knowing them; or misunderstanding what they were trying to say.

My feeling is, people shouldn’t get so worked up. Quit jumping down each others’ throats.

Erika said:

Oh, William Ayers, William Ayers, I am so sick of hearing his name. Why is obama being singled out, when Republicans and Democrats BOTH sit on a board with him, and work with him. Obama isn’t any closer to him than any one else….

snip

Let’s talk education.

Okay, Erika. It’s obvious you didn’t read anything. William Ayers is *all* about education. The Boards under scrutiny would be the Woods Fund and Chicago Annenberg Challenge… not Congressional boards… which are called committees.

INRE your lengthy schpiel on schools, I think the difference between you and I is you believe the federal government should be in charge of curriculums and involvement with our schools. I believe that is a local issue for local communities and the state. Your answer is to throw more money at what you perceive to be a problem. My solution is to go thru administrative waste and cut it.

Examples that money won’t work: Here in Oregon, we pay near the top amount per student in education taxes. Yet scores are low in the national average. Money is not the answer.

And most importantly, your boy, Obama, along with his buddy, William Ayers (who you are sick of hearing about), controlled $160 mil of funds for the Annenberg challenge. They spent $50 mil in the school experiment, and over $100 mil of that supporting political campaigns and officials by sifting the money thru ACORN (and others). At the end of the “experiment”, none of the “reforms” they tried to implement were successful. There was no difference between those who got t the grant money and those who didn’t participate.

But they sure had lots of friendly politicians in place for their shared view on indoctrination politics into our schools at a very young age. This is a common vision for Obama and Ayers… what they intend to do with our children’s minds.

You may be tired of hearing about Ayers. But you have a responsibility to know what you are voting into our WH. This isn’t some one day rock concert event. The changes that have begun in this country already with this bailout are easily perpetuated with a government taking over our schools with a political agenda.

Like I said, if Ayers/Obama’s socialist agenda for political indoctrination of children in schools is what you believe; if you believe in the idea that when you make too much money, it will be taken away to redistribute; if you believe the government is the answer to health care, the economy, and every other facet of your life… then you are voting for the person who suits your beliefs.

But then you must also admit - if to no one else but yourself - that you favor socialism over capitalism. Because Obama is about as transparent a socialist as it comes. You either see it and embrace it, or you vote against it…. which is what many of us here are doing. Because we are conservative, and we don’t like these giant steps of government intrusion.

Fit, you miss the large picture. You concern yourself with a snapshot of an immediate fix of America’s economic status. Something that will take quite a bit of time to correct (especially now since the bail out), and will require that consumers reprogram themselves to live within their means and not above it.

The Ayers-Obama educational vision is all about the “change” of America. If you do not understand Ayers and his anti-capitalist designs, all structured to be done thru the US public school system, then you do not see the change in tack for a large vessel turning hard left.

Some have said they don’t believe Obama is some stealth radical. I don’t either… there’s no “stealth” in it.

I can only believe two things…

1: You, personally Fit Fit, either choose to not see, not explore, not research, not face facts that Obama is deeply rooted in socialism (proven by his background and relationships) because you distrust the sources.

2: … of, you, personally Fit Fit, support a change to socialism in America.

Ya know, I don’t mind intelligent dissent. But sometimes I just get frustrated when people just refuse to state their beliefs, and their trend towards more government control. If we start from this basic premise, we could all start with a more solid foundation of debate.

Mata,

What’s missing from your extensive research is a credible linkage from Obama to Ayers when it comes to their outlook on education. It’s a jump that occurs in your mind. Sitting together on a board doesn’t cut it.

There were several Republicans who worked have worked with Ayers in Chicago. He was consider a Distinguished Scholar at the University of South Carolina (I saw the webpages before they got scrubbed). Was everyone Ayers ever came into contact with infected too?

Absolutely

Mike, you never sent me the plans for your special tinfoil hat like you promised.

Maybe that would help.

I’m not the one pimping outlandish conspiracies while the world economy is imploding. John McCain proposes using your money to buy up individual mortgages and not a single FA author comments on it? You guys are way off the deep end these days.
