What’s news today?
Me?
I’m going straight to conspiracy nut. You know, foreign interference, Manchurian Candidate, radical groups, how do they all tie together, where are the transcripts Barry? crazy nutjob stuff. I’ve mentioned some of these names before. I was told it was in the past, it didn’t matter, and yet it all pointed to Obama being exactly what he is. A radical. The press can’t hide this stuff anymore.
So put on your tin-foil hats and join me for a trip down memory lane.

What?
It’s fun. And it all fits.
This first piece is a must read for any conspiracy nut worth his salt. It contains many pieces of new stuff gathered by digging up the old stuff.
“Though by no means definitive, it provides an interesting insight, at least, into how Chicago politics intersected with the black power movement and Middle Eastern money at a certain point in time. Whether it has any greater relevance to the 2012 presidential campaign, I will allow the reader to decide. In order to accomplish that, I will also take the unusual step of providing footnotes and the end of this column so that each of you can do the investigative work for yourself.”
“Maybe the funding materialized, maybe it didn’t, but what’s particularly noteworthy is that this black Islamic lawyer who “for several years [had] urged the rich Arab kingdoms to cultivate stronger ties to America’s blacks by supporting black businesses and black colleges and giving financial help to disadvantaged students” was also the same lawyer who allegedly helped arrange for the entrance of Barack Obama into Harvard Law School in 1988.”
“It also might be considered more than coincidence that the author of that 1979 newspaper column was from Chicago, where Barack Obama settled in 1986 a few years after his stint at Columbia University. It is certainly surprising that the author of that column was none other than Vernon Jarrett, the future (and later former) father-in-law of Valerie Jarrett, who ultimately became the consigliere of the Obama White House.”

Which brings us to this from PJ Media,
“What accounted for this desecration of our Bill of Rights by our own government? Mere cowardice or was there more? Does some ideological predisposition exist at the top of our executive branch that makes it easier to accede to the reactionary wishes of religio-fascist cultures where separation of church and state is anathema and the oppression of women endemic?
For some years, I and others have sought the answer to this riddle through the release of a tape held in the vault of the Los Angeles Times. This tape, known as the Khalidi Tape, records a going-away party held in Chicago in 2003. Here’s what I wrote back in April 2010:
Rashid Khalidi — a Palestinian-American historian known for his strong pro-Palestinian opinions — is currently the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia and director of that university’s Middle East Institute. After Khalidi received this Columbia appointment in 2003, a farewell dinner party was held in his honor in Chicago. A videotape was made of that party where many good things were said about the Palestinian cause and many bad things about Israel. Then Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama was in attendance, as were, some say, William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.”

And lastly, for now, this. From The Daily Caller
“As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.”
“Emboldened by their successes, SAAS leaders continued to press their demands, eventually working with local black radicals who were not college students. A young Eric Holder joined the fray in 1969 as a college freshman.
The SAAS also actively supported the Black Panthers and the Black Power movement, according to Stefan Bradley, professor of African-American studies at Saint Louis University and author of the 2009 book “Harlem vs. Columbia University.” He has described the Columbia organization as being separatist in nature.”

UPDATE
It just gets better. Or worse.
Also from the Daily Caller
“In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.
“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”
The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.”

That DC video is causing quite a stir. What I find most amusing are the media response to it, even before it was released. Talk about an echo chamber. All on cue, all right on script. The funniest part is the cries that it’s old news. They talked about it before, aired short, highly edited clips, or quoted from Barry’s prepared text of the script. But when Barry went off the telepromter and winged it, they all left out those parts. Their mad because it’s an indictment of the press and the poor job they did of vetting Barry the first time around. They don’t like having that pointed out I guess.
And Rachael Maddow of course, is the first to scream RACISTS!!!!! at Tucker and anybody else who shows it. Also, right on cue.
JournoList is cool like that. Sorry folks, you can’t kill it this time around.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/02/dnc-scrambles-to-deflate-obama-video-before-daily-caller-story-published/
“The Democratic National Committee — armed with the help of dismissive tweets from a variety of journalists — scrambled Tuesday night to attack The Daily Caller for its videos of President Obama’s controversial race comments in 2007 before the story was even published.
Using comments from reporters speculating on TheDC’s report, the Democrats quickly worked to dismiss the story it hadn’t seen yet — which was teased Tuesday afternoon on Sean Hannity’s radio show and on the Drudge Report — by calling it “lame.””
“The email merely included tweets from journalists — before the story was published — expressing skepticism and disinterest and the mistaken claim that the video had been published before.
The tweets used by the Democratic National Committee came from reporters at organizations including Politico, BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, New York Magazine and the Atlantic.”
Notice the names of many of these news sources matches many of these same JournListers from last time. Funny that. It’s almost like it’s co-ordinated or something.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/02/flashback-journolist-plotted-to-kill-jeremiah-wright-story-in-2008/
“Now that The Daily Caller has uncovered and published video of President Barack Obama’s “other race speech,” liberal media figures are once again trying to quell coverage of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story — just like in 2008.
Records obtained by TheDC in mid-2010 showed that “at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate,” after ABC News’ Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos asked then-Sen. Obama about his controversial reverend during an April 2008 debate.”
“Before TheDC even released this new video, the Democratic Party tried to discredit it by citing JournoList members like the Huffington Post’s Sam Stein and Ben Smith — now the editor of BuzzFeed but formerly of Politico — commenting on the video before they had seen it.”
This whole thing is exposing the fraud that is Obama, and his media lapdogs. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I think you may have answered your own question. He’s taken the high road, and what does he have to show for it? I think Obama is a horrible candidate, his policies a total failure, the economy is still in the tank, and yet he’s even with Romney. Romney has stated what he’s for, but the press is only concerned with his percieved errors. He’s made that case FOR himself, it just doesn’t make the news. I think Romney has an opportunity tonight to bypass the media and speak directly to the people. I think when he gets that chance, he’ll show why he’s obviously better. I think the Obama admin knows this, and that’s why they’ve been downplaying Obama’s debating skills in preparation for what will be obvious to the viewer. We’ll see.

One thing I can say for certain: Gov Romney mentining race would be a surefire way to divert attention from the economy. Nothing would say D’OH quite like a Mormon former stake president race baiting and bringing to the American public the 1970’s revelation from the Mormon prophet that decided it was ok for male blacks to have the priesthood. It would demonstrate fully the sheer genius of the Romney campaign…

That 38 minute Obama speech at Hampton U. is very revealing. He is talking to a group of black ministers, essentially arguing that America is a racist country determined to hurt the interests of black people. There is no subtlety or balance in this speech. He has high praise for the Rev. Wright, a fervid anti-white racist, whom he later threw under the bus when the “God Damn America” remark was made public.
The hard truth about Obama is that he is an extremely divisive leader. When talking to black people, he emphasizes the worst of white behavior with little appreciation that a Civil War was fought that ended slavery and in the sixties a far reaching black civil rights bill was passed. For all its faults, America continues to work hard to end past serious injustices to black people.
He, also, is involved in demonizing wealthy people with little understanding that many of these people have creatively developed and provided investment funds for productive businesses that greatly benefit the American people.
This Obama Hampton U. speech by all that is right ought to be condemned by the American people, though it is clear already that the liberal media that routinely savages Romney/Ryan is involved in effectively downplaying this nasty speech.
Obama in my view is an intellectual and administrative lightweight who somehow has taken advantage of our present celebrity culture. He is in way over his head as an American president. During his presidency, he has engaged mainly in campaign oratory and done little serious governing. He has involved the country in $trillion plus deficits for four years and been exceedingly weak in foreign relations.
Unfortunately, our country has reached such a decadent state that this incompetent fool appears likely be re-elected.

Tucker Carlson contradicts the above as follows:
Obama gave the speech in the middle of a hotly-contested presidential primary season, but his remarks escaped scrutiny. Reporters in the room seem to have missed or ignored his most controversial statements. The liberal blogger Andrew Sullivan linked to what he described as a “transcript” of the speech, which turned out not to be a transcript at all, but instead the prepared remarks provided by the campaign. In fact, Obama, who was not using a teleprompter, deviated from his script repeatedly and at length, ad libbing lines that he does not appear to have used before any other audience during his presidential run. A local newspaper posted a series of video clips of the speech, but left out key portions. No complete video of the Hampton speech was widely released.
CB, what hard evidence do you have that contradicts Carlson.

Oh Sails, you crack me up. Wing nut central has said it so it must be true …
Here’s this from Dave Weigel
“But here’s the question: Did the MSM fail to notice this? Answer: Not really. On June 5’s episode of Special Report, Fox News’s Brit Hume mentioned the Obama remarks in a news rundown.
Senator Obama today said the Bush administration has done nothing to defuse what he calls a quiet riot among black Americans, a riot he suggests is ready to erupt. Obama said African American resentments and frustrations are building, especially, he said, because so many blacks from New Orleans and the Gulf Coast are still displaced 21 months after Hurricane Katrina. Obama warned against conditions similar to those in Los Angeles 15 years ago.
“Not only do we still have the scars of the riots and the quiet riots that happen every day, but how in too many places all across the country, we haven’t even bothered to take the bullet out.”
Obama was speaking at a conference of black clergy at Virginia’s Hampton University.
The same day, ABC News’s Jake Tapper filed a matter-of-fact report on the speech.
Addressing the Hampton University Annual Ministers’ Conference in Hampton, Virginia, Tuesday, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., discussed poverty and implied the Bush administration has been ignoring serious issues of poverty and hopelessness in the U.S. — what he termed “quiet riots.”
The man angling to become the first African-American president in history pointed out that 19 months after Hurricane Katrina — and 15 years after the Los Angeles riots, “the homes haven’t been built, the businesses haven’t returned, and those same communities are still drowning and smoldering under the same hopelessness as before the tragedy hit.”
On June 6, Maureen Dowd cited the Hampton speech in her NYT column.
When he wants to, Mr. Obama can rouse the crowd to multiple ovations, as he did yesterday when he talked with a preacher’s passion about the ”quiet riot” of frustration of blacks in this country, on issues like Katrina, in a speech before black clergy at Hampton University in Virginia.
That was the NYT’s only reference to the speech. The Washington Post ran only a short dispatch by Perry Bacon.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said in a speech yesterday that “quiet riots that take place every day” in impoverished communities around the country create conditions that lead to violence such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
“Most of the ministers here know that those riots didn’t erupt overnight; there had been a ‘quiet riot’ building up in Los Angeles and across this country for years,” Obama told a conference of ministers at Hampton University in Virginia. “If you had gone to any street corner in Chicago or Baton Rouge or Hampton — you would have found the same young men and women without hope, without miracles, and without a sense of destiny other than life on the edge.”
On the June 7 episode of NPR’s Tell Me More, a panel of AOL’s Jimi Izrael, ESPN’s Alvin Patrick, and writer Alvin Wang discussed the “riot” quote.
IZRAEL: Let’s move on and talk about the Denver Post quoting Barack Obama saying that the Bush administration has done nothing to defuse the quiet riot of black discontent in this country, even alluding to like race riots, like now, in past, and maybe in the future.
Now check this out, Alvin. I don’t know about you and what LISTSERVs you’re on, but I didn’t getting any memo about any revolution. I mean…
(Soundbite of laughter)
IZRAEL: …is Barack Obama like trying to make an important point, or he was trying to blacken his image?
PATRICK: Well, you know, if you think about it, he was talking in front of a mostly black audience down at Hampton, if I’m not mistaken. And, you know, to be quite honest, I am an Obama fan, but I have noticed that he does sort of, you know, changes linguistic qualities a touch when he gets in front of different audience – which I guess every politician does. It’s just that he was supposed to be that breath of fresh air that we all were supposed to love, and I think, you know – a riot simmering? I’m not so sure about that.
IZRAEL: Well, this is that whole DuBoisian flip-flop, you know, where you’re wearing a dashiki one minute and you’re wearing Brooks Brothers the next. Oliver, I’m saying, I mean, I love Obama, too. That’s my dude. You know, he owes me money. But how do you feel about his flip-flopping?
WANG: I mean, I don’t know if it’s a flip-flop. I do think that he’s being very strategic in how he wears his hats, and, you know, this kind of – you know, this goes back to the whole issue of is Barack black enough for the black electorate. And I think, he is definitely learning how to speak to his audiences.
So the MSM didn’t ignore the Hampton speech. They didn’t find it controversial, and they didn’t treat it like a controversy — not Obama references to “black folks,” not Obama’s occasional switched-up dialect.
Was there bias on display? Of a sort, yes. But I don’t think it was malicious. In summer 2007, reporters on the presidential beat tracked Obama’s speeches to black audiences for one main reason: To find out if he could win black voters away from the Clintons. Political reporters were watching Obama in Hampton to see if he was connecting. To their eyes, he was. Nobody thought to ask whether the candidate went overboard or oversold an accent or was right about the facts of Katrina funding. In that last case, I think you can criticize the Fourth Estate for phoning it in.”
But to my mind the best commentary of the day came from:
http://ordinary-gentlemen.com/blog/2012/10/i-think-tucker-carlsons-daily-caller-is-everything-i-hate-about-post-internet-journalism/ which does contain the brilliant Carlson quote:
“People will say ‘this has already been reported.’ Well, actually, it hasn’t been reported. And I know because I reported on it the first time.”
Think on that for a minute. Tucker reported himself which is how he knows it hasn’t been reported on … That says about everything you need to know about the high standards of the Daily Caller.

Anyone who reads the full Obama speech would know that he engaged in hard-edged anti-white rhetoric, something about which the liberals are in denial.

My reaction: Yawn. I have heard the President address these issues s President — not with the same rhetoric, definitely true. If you guys listened to the whole speech you will also have heard the President talk about the need to take responsibility — to get kids into real jobs rather than the drug trade and so forth, to teach kids how to raise children in a healthy way — i.e. not to give them chips for breakfast and so forth. Does he have more of a “black sound” yeah — he also uses that preacher’s cadence that he gets when orating sometimes. And? My SO accent becomes significantly more North Carolinian when she is around North Carolinian and significantly less so around yankees and western heathens, does that mean she’s acting when she goes home? No.
MiM — you seem to want to provoke me on many threads and want to throw down the glove with hollers of partisan simply because I disagree with the most conservative right wing positions — news flash — I never claimed to be a conservative right winger, so for you I will seem liberal and partisan — that’s because you all live in a strange philosophical land at times – one where a person with a different view is labeled by the pundit class you all follow.
