Reality Bytes and Pieces

Here’s what the Baltimore Sun reported in a March, 2, 2007 article detailing Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) ancestors who owned slaves:

According to the research, one of Obama’s great-great-great-great grandfathers, George Washington Overall, owned two slaves who were recorded in the 1850 census in Nelson County, Ky. The same records show that one of Obama’s great-great-great-great-great-grandmothers, Mary Duvall, also owned two slaves.

The Sun retraced much of Reitwiesner’s work, using census information available on the Web site ancestry.com and documents retrieved by the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives, among other sources. The records show that Overall, then 30, owned a 15-year-old black female and a 25-year-old black male, while Mary Duvall, his mother-in-law, owned a 60-year-old black man and a 58-year-old black woman. (Slaves are listed in the 1850 census by owner, age, “sex,” and “colour,” not by name.)

An Obama spokesman did not dispute the information and said that the senator’s ancestors “are representative of America.”

Could Obama’s guilty conscience, if he has one, lead him to pay for the sins of his racist, slave-owning ancestors? According to Chicago, Ill.-based journalist Andy Martin, Obama supports fellow black elected leaders who have expressed a desire to grant slavery reparations to Black Americans.

Obama hangs with the reparations crowd. Now guilt by association is certainly unfair. But if you hang with the reparations crowd, they must see something in you they like. Indeed they do. U. S. Representative John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is reportedly waiting for Obama to be elected so Conyers can rush a reparations law through Congress. (The Hill, 3/13/ 2007) Hmmm. Does Conyers know something we don’t?

Finally, the most telling indication that Obama has a secret addiction to reparations is reflected in those who support him and those whom he supports: the most notorious race-baiter on the Chicago City Council, Alderwoman Dorothy Tillman.

Haven’t heard of Dorothy Tillman? You better learn about Obama’s #1 supporter. And fast. You really should know who she is. Tillman has almost single-handedly made a joke of the City of Chicago in the public finance industry over her preoccupation with slavery and reparations.

Tillman supports Obama and Obama supports Tillman.

Last week (2007) Obama endorsed Tillman for reelection. Tillman was forced into a runoff after her opponents failed to agree on a single candidate to oppose her. Tillman was an early supporter of Obama’s in his rise to prominence over the past decade.

And Tillman is a disgrace. Her favorite pastime is abusing banks and financial institutions that want to do business with the City of Chicago. A regular feature of council proceedings is Tillman flaying banks for “owning slaves” at some remote point in history over 150 years ago.

Using a 2002 “Slavery Era Disclosure Ordinance” that she authored, Tillman has accused Bank of America of having a predecessor bank that made “leg irons for slaves.” Wachovia, J.P. Morgan Chase, LaSalle Bank, Lehman Brothers, American General and Nationwide Life Insurance were all brought before Tillman’s mast and whipped for their ties to slavery, however remote, over 150 years ago.

Indeed, Tillman has been quoted as saying her goal is to “repair the damage of 400 years” of slavery. “America owes us,” Tillman demands (Sun-Times 3/26/2007).

And yes, Obama has endorsed this carnival-style extortionist for reelection. So much for the audacity of Obama, so much for the “smallness” of politics in Chicago.

Tillman abuses and opposes anyone who thinks that slavery is not a major issue any more. When the City wanted to refinance $800 million in debt, Tillman was there claiming slavery should be an issue. Last fall, the City tried to lease parking garages for over a half billion dollars: the deal hit a “slavery speed bump.” Tillman filed suit because her slavery ordinance was brushed aside (Sun-Times 12/1/2006). “The whole world is watching us just disregard this law for black people’We’re totally disrespected as a people…,” (Sun-Times 10/31/06). On and on it goes. Sounds like the race card to me.

Tillman accused Morgan Stanley of “getting rich from investments and profits in slavery,” (Chicago Tribune, 10/30/ 2006). Morgan Stanley was formed in 1935 …

When Obama’s critics attack him for the sermons of his pastor they are going too far, in my opinion. I am not responsible for what my minister says. Preachers get a lot of leeway in the pulpit.

But when a public official files a frivolous lawsuit against a half-billion dollar public finance deal, claiming that Blacks are being disrespected because of slavery, and Obama goes on to endorse that kind of nonsense, Obama should be charged with endorsing the antics of the reparations gang.

When confronted with the claims of some of his more controversial supporters President Reagan used to say, “They endorsed me; I didn’t endorse them.”

In the case of Barry Obama and Dorothy Tillman, he has endorsed her and her unseemly reparations crusade for slavery.

Only Obama doesn’t want his national audience to know it. I seriously doubt that many of the tens of thousands of people who have succumbed to Obama’s pleas for “hope” realize he “hopes” to force them to pay tax dollars to provide some form of compensation to people who weren’t alive from people who weren’t alive, all for the evils of slavery. They have no idea who Dorothy Tillman is, or what she stands for, or the damage she continues to do to taxpayers in Chicago. All in the name of slavery.

And yet ignorant suckers keep on giving, not knowing who Obama is and what he wants to accomplish if he should end up in the Oval office.

Dorothy Tillman was arrested on March 2, 2008 in her native Montgomery, Ala. and charged with “criminal trespassing after a confrontation with hospital officials about her 86-year-old ailing aunt.” Tillman lost her seat on the Chicago City Council in April 2007, despite being endorsed by Sen. Obama.

“[Tillman] was one of Obama’s earliest supporters in his U.S. Senate bid. But others are wondering how Obama’s decision to back such a die-hard proponent of slavery reparations will play in Iowa and New Hampshire. They may have a point,” wrote Rich Miller in the Chicago Sun-Times on March 23, 2007.

Well, it looks like Obama’s association with slavery reparation proponent, Tillman, hasn’t influenced voters’ decisions one way or the other in the primaries. But, then again, when was the last time you heard the mainstream media note Obama’s relationship with Tillman, or question whether his 2007 endorsement extented to supporting her insistence on American taxpayers giving a blank check to Black Americans, even if their ancestors never owned slaves?

In the spirit of college basketball’s “March Madness,” The Penginator presents Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) “Sweet 16″ people and groups that he has turned to throughout his life for inspiration, guidance, wisdom and support. Draw your own conclusions, but don’t say I didn’t warn you about this playa’s mad fake-out skillz if he ends up winning the “Big Dance.” And, just remember this tried and tested motto of successful teams when pulling the lever at the polls, “Defense wins games!”

1. “The Marxist Professors” - The following quote is found on pages 100 and 101 from Barack Obama’s book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance”:

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy. When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society’s stifling constraints. We weren’t indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated.”

2. Frantz Fanon, the “Marx of the Third World”- “Frantz Fanon stands as a great symbolic hero among militant blacks, and his ideas find responsive audiences in the Black Writers Congresses, in the ghettoes of the United States, and in most of the universities in the new world. But within academic cirles, especially among sociologists, Fanon is still a controversial figure,” wrote Dennis Forsythe in his 1973 article entitled, “Frantz Fanon — The Marx of the Third World.”

• “The Iranian cleric Ruhollah Khomeini’s teachings — a synthesis of militant Third World radicalism derived in part from the writings of Frantz Fanon — have held Iran in the thrall of a militant theocratic tyranny since 1979,” wrote National Review’s Adrian Karatnycky on May 19, 2003. 
• “Fanon has had an inspiring impact on anti-colonial and liberation movements. In particular, Les damnés de la terre was a major influence on the work of revolutionary leaders such as Ali Shariati in Iran, Steve Biko in South Africa, Malcom X in the United States and Ernesto Che Guevara in Cuba,” states Wikipedia on Fanon. ”Of these only Guevara was primarily concerned with Fanon’s theories on violence; for Shariati and Biko the main interest in Fanon was ‘the new man’ and ‘black consciousness’ respectively. Fanon’s influence extended to the liberation movements of the Palestinians, the Tamils, African Americans and others. More recently, the South African movement Abahlali baseMjondolo is influenced by Fanon’s work.”
• “To us, the man who adores the Negro is as ’sick’ as the man who abominates him. Conversely, the black man who wants to turn his race white is as miserable as he who preaches hatred for the whites,” wrote Fanon in his 1967 book, “Black Skin, White Masks.”

3. Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders- “The Progressive Caucus is an organization of Members of Congress founded in 1991 by newly-elected House Representative Bernie Sanders (Independent-Vermont), the former mayor of Burlington and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which describes itself as ‘the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.’”

• Click here to see Obama campaigning for Sen. Sanders in Vermont. “Thank you Vermont … You know we all want to see Bernie in the Senate,” Obama states in the video.

4. Communist mass murderer Che Guevara - “We don’t have to speculate about Che’s ideals. They’re on full display 90 miles south of Florida–a Stalinist police state where the regime mandates what its subjects, read, say, earn, eat (both substance and amount), where they live, travel or work. Che’s dream wasn’t to convert Latin America into Sweden–he wanted to convert it into Stalin’s Soviet Union. In fact he often signed his early correspondence, ‘Stalin II.’ This KGB-trained and worshiping hangman named Che now serves as the idol of ‘do your own thing’ radicals and the slogan that adorns Che posters under T-shirts is ‘Resist Oppression.’ The mind boggles. It really required a sense of humor to write this book–otherwise I’d have gone nuts,” states Cuban-born Humberto Fontova, author of, “Exposing the Real Che Guevara: And the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him.”

• Click here for video showing a picture of Che Guevara prominently displayed in Obama’s Houston, Texas campaign office, as reported by the local FOX News affiliate.

5. Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. (Obama’s “spiritual advisor”)- “Obama, the guiding hand to American unanimity, has for the past 20 years been a parishioner at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, whose leader is, by any reasonable standard, a racist,” opined David Harsanyi in his March 4, 2008 Denver Post Op-ed. ”The pastor in question is Jeremiah Wright Jr. It was his use of the term ‘audacity of hope’ in a sermon that inspired Obama to title his best-selling book with the phrase. Wright is a longtime supporter of Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan. Last year, the ‘Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award’ was given to Farrakhan, who, it turns out, ‘truly epitomized greatness.’”

6. Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama - “The person who made me proudest of all … was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol,” the Examiner (D.C.) reported on Jan. 29, 2007 about Obama’s affection for his brother, Roy.

Now, piece that display of brotherly love together with a Jan. 15, 2008 report from Investor’s Business Daily (that appears nearly a year after the Examiner.com article) which introduces us to the real Roy, and you’ll see why there’s reason to question Obama’s brotherly love for his militant Muslim brother.

“Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.

 

“In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged.

 

“Obama’s older brother still lives there. Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.’ He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

 

“Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications,” notes the Investor’s Business Daily article.

7. Bob Moses, draft dodger - “‘What really inspired me,’ Obama told me during one of several conversations about his work as an organizer, ‘was the civil rights movement. And if you asked me who my role model was at that time, it would probably be Bob Moses, the famous sncc [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee] organizer.’”

• According to U.S. News and World Report, “In 1966, [Moses] left for Canada when, at the age of 31, he received a draft notice. After a stint teaching math in Tanzania, he returned to the United States when President Jimmy Carter granted amnesty to draft resisters.”

8. Saul D. Alinksy, Satan admirer- “Obama … had this to say about legendary Chicago organizer Saul Alinsky in The New Republic:

“Sometimes the tendency in community organizing of the sort done by Alinsky was to downplay the power of words and of ideas when in fact ideas and words are pretty powerful. ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, all men are created equal.’ Those are just words. ‘I have a dream.’ Just words.”

• “The 1972 Vintage Books paperback edition of Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinksy has a page of quotes just before the table of contents. In the last of the three quotes, Alinsky himself said the following:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

9. Malcolm X - “Obama, who would start his career in politics as a community organizer in Chicago, wrote that he also found solace in the autobiography of Malcolm X, with his ‘unadorned insistence on respect.’”

• This video compilation of Obama speeches shows the candidate ”borrowing words” from historical figures. It starts out with him telling a crowd of black supporters in South Carolina that they’ve been “hood winked, bamboozled,” just like the “star” of Spike Lee’s movie, “Malcolm X.” It’s like one of those remix tapes, but with Obama starring as the mix-master.
  
• “Obama’s verbs [hood winked and bamboozled], according to this analysis, were chosen to echo a speech by the eponymous hero of Spike Lee’s 1992 ‘Malcolm X,’ and thus to send a secret message,” states Jan Freeman in The Boston Globe. “But why would Obama need a coded racial message? I can see that Spike Lee’s film use of bamboozled might resonate with African-American voters, especially since Lee titled a subsequent movie ‘Bamboozled.’ But isn’t Malcolm X, the controversial black separatist, the last person the ‘uniter’ candidate would purposely invoke?”

10. Allah- “Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” Translated literally, that Muslim prayer says:

“Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Hasten to the Prayer, hasten to the Prayer. Hasten to real success, hasten to real success. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is none worthy of worship but Allah.”

11. Al Sharpton - “Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama D-Ill., stopped for a little soul food with Al Sharpton in Harlem Thursday (Nov. 29, 2007) evening. Arriving together in the same car, the two were flanked by people on the street outside the popular soul food restaurant, ‘Silvia’s’ in the heart of Harlem. Obama yelled, ‘We gon’ shake up the world,’ as he entered the restaurant side by side with Sharpton.”

• According to Sen. Obama, “Reverend Sharpton is a voice for the voiceless, and a voice for the dispossessed. What National Action Network has done is so important to change America, and it must be changed from the bottom up.”
• “Sharpton’s National Action Network is currently being probed by the New York state attorney general’s office over possible wrongdoing involving his organization’s finances. But that hasn’t stopped him or his group from cashing in on this case. In one weekend alone Sharpton’s group raised $100,000 for its ‘Jena Fund’ (cha-ching!),” noted black conservative civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, in his Sept. 27, 2007 WorldNetDaily.com column. 

12. Jena 6 - “Today I stand with those who stand for justice in Jena,” said Sen. Obama in a Sept. 20 press statement. “The thousands of Americans from every race and region who have descended on this small Louisiana town carry forth the legacy of all those who sat at lunch counters and took freedom rides to strike a blow against injustice wherever it may exist. When a noose hangs from a schoolyard tree in the 21st century and young men are treated in a way that is not equal nor just, it is not just an offense to the people of Jena or to the African-American community, it is an offense to the ideals we hold as Americans. I renew my call for the District Attorney to drop the excessive charges filed in this case, and I will continue my decades-long fight against injustice and division as President.”

• “Since the ‘Jena 6′ case in which several black youths beat a white classmate unconscious after a noose-hanging incident several months earlier at Jena High School, black leaders have galvanized in an effort to recreate a new ‘civil rights’ movement. They’ve jumped on virtually every alleged racial incident around the country. Their goal is quite simple — to build power and wealth dousing racial fires with gasoline,” remarked Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, in his WorldNetDaily.com column. 

13. Kanye West - “I’ve met with Jay-Z; I’ve met with Kanye. And I’ve talked to other artists about how potentially to bridge that gap. I think the potential for them to deliver a message of extraordinary power that gets people thinking (is massive),” Obama said during Black Entertainment Television’s (BET) political special “What’s In It For Us?”.

• According to armchair political pundit Kanye West, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people!”

14. Jay Z - It’s easy to see why Obama wants Jay Z’s support when you read (and, hum along to) a sample of the rapper’s lyrics:

“I’m from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
  If you grew up with holes in ya zapatos
  You’d be celebrating the minute you was havin’ dough
  I’m like f#ck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
  If you don’t like my lyrics you can press fast forward
  I got beef with radio if i don’t play they show
  They don’t play my hits i don’t give a shit SO
  Rap mags try and use my black ass
  So advertisers can give ‘em more cash for ads, f#ck3rs
  I don’t know what you take me as,
  Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
  I’m from rags to ritches niggas I ain’t dumb
  I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
  Hit me”

15. Ludacris, enemy of Oprah - “[Ludacris] was dropped as a Pepsi spokesman in 2004 after Pepsi’s choice drew criticism from talk show host Bill O’Reilly and the conservative right. And last year he ended up in a war of words with media mogul Oprah Winfrey after accusing her of being against rappers because she doesn’t feature them on her show. Winfrey responded by asserting she doesn’t condone the negative images of women propagated by Ludacris and others in lyrics and videos.” But Obama did let his good friend, Oprah’s, concerns stop him from from promoting ”AIDS awareness” with Ludacris at Northwestern University on November 29, 2006.

16. Speaking of Oprah Winfrey: “Oprah talked about her humble beginnings in Mississippi, and particularly about how her mother’s highest aspiration for her was that she might end up cleaning white people’s houses, because ‘they give away nice clothes.’ And then Oprah pointed out that now that she’s Oprah, she has ‘all these white people’ working for her, and that in fact there’s only one black person on the staff. Way to turn the tables, girl,” reported TMZ on Sept. 25, 2006.

I know I said this was a “Sweet 16″ round-up, but let’s give props to Obama’s soul-mate, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson-Obama: Mrs. Obama’s 1985 Princeton University thesis “offers several fascinating insights into the mind of Michelle Obama, who has been a passionate advocate of her husband’s presidential aspirations and who has made several controvesial statements, including this week’s remark, ‘For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.’ That comment has fueled debate on countless blogs, radio talk shows and cable news for days on end, causing her to explain the statement in greater detail,” the Politico.com reported on Feb. 22, 2008.

• “It’s pretty simple: she obviously hates white people and will never get along with them,” states the Wonkette on her no-b.s. blog with regards to the following sentiments expressed by Michelle La Vaughn Robinson (Obama) in her thesis:

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before… I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”

“Virginia is [still] for lovers,” but not those who French kiss kids - “State legislators passed a law Saturday that would require adults who French kiss a child younger than 13 to register as a sex offender. Those convicted of tongue-kissing a child would be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. The House of Delegates passed the legislation 96-1 and the Senate 39-0…” The fact that the state legislature convened on a Saturday to pass this bill says there’s something seriously wrong in Virginia. Expect southern states like Alabama and Arkansas to follow suit.

Booted Straight American Idol Contestant Wants to Sing Praises of Homosexuals - “Kady Malloy is the recently eliminated American Idol semifinalist that wants to be a spokesperson for gay rights.  Malloy explained, ‘Well, my best friend is gay.  Freddie Mercury was gay, who’s my idol.  I just think that, you know, you shouldn’t define somebody by their sexuality, and I think that gay people not being able to get married and things like that is just like history repeating itself, and I think that we need to learn from our past…’” I’d like to see this ditz tag team with the Miss South Carolina who’s concerned about “U.S. Americans” who “don’t have maps.” The WWE could use a few more genius Divas to raise awareness for the harmful effects of beauty on brains.

Muslims believe in mircaulous power of sheep, not Jesus - In 2004, Muslims flocked to worship a sheep that was born with a marking resembling the Arabic word for “Allah.” Then, there’s this documentary showing that Muslims don’t believe Jesus is the Messiah and the crucifixion never happened.

In 1999, then State Senator Barack Obama proposed a federal law banning licensed gun shops from operating within five miles of a school or park because, obviously, he was concerned about kids getting shot by gun shop patrons eager to play with their new toys. Duh!

However, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty reported in his March 3 column, “Obama appears to find another kind of establishment to be perfectly fine operating near your children’s school.”

“Obama was also the sole present vote on a bill that easily passed the Senate that would require teaching respect for others in schools. He also voted present on a measure to prohibit sex-related shops from opening near schools or places of worship, which ultimately did not pass the Senate.

“In both of those cases, his campaign said, he was trying to avoid mandates on local authorities.

“The bill did not get the required three-fifths majority, so it did not in fact pass. (Mr. Obama voted “present” on the measure.)” 

Geraghty brilliantly summarized the Obama voting phenomenon asking, “Why on God’s green earth does Barack Obama object to mandates on local authorities for porn shops but not for gun stores? Or conversely, why does he feel it’s necessary to keep gun stores five miles from a school, but no limit on porn shops?”

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) continues his campaign of confusion with this “Obama 2008 St. Patrick’s Day” t-shirt. Note use of the shamrock as an apostrophe below. Talk about an imposter! But wait! According to a May 3, 2007 FOX News report, Obama has Irish roots. Be sure not to remind Paddy O’Bama that his middle name is “Hussein.”

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) enlisted the help of a pioneer in the same-sex marriage crusade to round-up homosexual voters in Houston, Texas prior to Tuesday’s critical primary. The city’s two major homosexual “rights” groups are reportedly split between Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), and it seems that Hillary is appealing to undecided homosexual voters with a soft spot for hardcore gay porn.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, a leading voice in the nation’s same-sex marriage movement, spoke to homosexual voters at a “predominantly” gay bar in Houston on Sunday, bashing Obama on Hillary’s behalf for not rising to the defense of same-sex marriage in the Senate.

For those unfamiliar with the gay-friendly Mayor Newsom, he is also, apparently, a staunch supporter hardcore gay pornography, as evidenced by a Feb. 23, 2007 mayoral proclamation honoring his city’s leading gay porn producer, Colt Studio (NSFW).

According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s March 3, 2007 report detailing Newsom’s unusual proclamation, “Newsom’s office declared Feb. 23 to be Colt Studio Day, honoring the 40th anniversary of a San Francisco movie company whose Web site invites visitors to ‘come inside to experience the hottest man-on-man action.’”  

Newsom claimed that the proclamation honoring Colt Studio was issued without his prior knowledge, however, “The official document, bearing Newsom’s name, was presented by a representative of the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services to the company during its anniversary party,” the Chronicle reported.

After the controversial proclamation was issued, the Chronicle noted that Newsom spokesman Nathan Ballard “stopped short of saying the administration had made a mistake in honoring Colt Studio.”

So, if you’re gay and want to elect a candidate who supports hardcore gay porn, Hillary sounds like she’s onboard and hungry for your vote.

Here’s an excerpt from The Knights Party’s Feb 29, 2008 press release entitled, “KKK Does Not Endorse Obama” (seriously, that’s their title): 

“Despite some rumors, the Ku Klux Klan is not endorsing Barack Obama for President. In fact, Thomas Robb, national director of The Knights Party says his organization has serious questions it would like Barack to answer. Said Robb, ‘Is he willing to stand for the protection of white men, women and children who are quickly to be America’s new minority. Just over two years ago, the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. stated that white children under the age of five were counted for less than 50% of the population. I do not feel it is an exaggeration to be very concerned about America’s future.’ Where does Barrack Obama’s allegiance lie? And what about Hillary Clinton or John McCain? Will they voice concern for the sons and daughters of the Republic?

“The United States of America is a great nation! How great will we be should a traitor take office as President? Is America headed down a dangerous path? We believe so. While we do not take an official position toward any candidate, we feel that we represent the opinion of many dissatisfied people throughout the country who worry for the future of their children. Will anyone, be it Republican or Democrat, stand up and voice their support for white Christian Americans?

“Rachel Pendergraft, the national spokeswoman for the organization said, ‘We pray for the day when we will see a strong candidate; a God fearing white man or woman, who will restore the principles of the Constitution, promote free enterprise versus a planned economy, put military troops on the border to stop illegal immigration, put an end to the social experiment called forced integration which has had a devastating effect on all races, and return our schools to a wholesome environment of learning by removing homosexual indoctrination’ …”

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) reluctantly said he would “reject” and “denounce” the support of Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan on Tuesday night when prodded by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) during a debate. That’s all fine and dandy, but it appears Obama has historically hired Farrakhan followers and is currently promoting a link on his campaign website that features “controversial” Islamic organizations.

According to a Jan. 30 report by political commentator Debbie Schlussel, “[A] former Obama insider says that Obama’s sudden aversion to NOI and Farrakhan is belied by the fact that Obama employed and continues to employ several Farrakhan acolytes in high positions on his Illinois and U.S. Senate campaign and office staffs.”

Schlussel reported on the Nation of Islam affiliations of Obama staffers well before the recent controversy arose over Farrakhan’s unofficial endorsement of Obama. She was careful to note that the anonymous insider who provided her with information about Obama’s Farrakhan-allied staffers “is not connected with the Clintons and is not a disgruntled employee,” though I’m sure that will be contested by Obama supporters (See “comments” section on top of this page.).

“I have verified that this person — who agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity — held a key position in the Obama campaign,” Schlussel wrote. ”The insider was so close to Senator Obama that they frequently personally discussed and exchanged direct e-mail messages on campaign and policy matters.”

The anonymous insider told Schlussel that he “frequently objected to Mr. Obama’s placement of Cynthia K. Miller, a member of the Nation of Islam, as the Treasurer of his U.S. Senate campaign.” When Schlussel contacted Miller to inquire about her relationship with the Nation of Islam, she replied, “None of your business! Where are you going with this?”

Miller told Schlussel that the reason she resigned her position as Treasurer of Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign was not due to her involvement in the Nation of Islam, and there’s nothing Miller said or Schlussel reported to imply that Obama voiced his objections to her membership in the controversial organization.

The Penginator’s note:There is no direct connection between Cynthia K. Miller and Obama appearing in Google search results, but an inquisitive searcher might find the woman in question by using a few distinct key words … and you might notice something interesting in the search result. (If you’re a journalist, email me at penginator at yahoo.com to learn more. There’s a possible story here that might earn you top billing. Serious inquiries only, please.) 

“The Obama insider says he also objected to Obama’s involvement with Jennifer Mason, whom he says is also a member of the Nation of Islam,” Schlussel wrote. ”Mason is Obama’s Director of Constituent Services in his U.S. Senate office and is also in charge of selecting Obama’s Senate interns. She did not respond to repeated calls for comment.”

Here’s the red meat of Schussel’s investigation:

“But it’s not just that he employed these individuals in positions of power in his office, it’s that when the former associate raised objections, he says Mr. Obama’s position was that he saw nothing wrong with the Nation of Islam and didn’t think it was a problem. If true–and the fact that Ms. Mason still holds her prominent Obama Senate staff position bears that out–Obama’s condemnation of Farrakhan, this month, is phony.

“But the insider says there is more to it than that. Obama’s Illinois State Senate district consisted of prime Nation of Islam territory, including Hyde Park, home to Farrakhan’s mansion. It is not possible, Illinois politicos say, to win that district without the blessing of the NOI leader. NOI members, including consultant Shakir Muhammad, held important roles in the Obama state senate campaign.”

Read Schlussel’s report to find plenty more examples of Obama surrounding himself with those who espouse the anti-Semitic sentiments of Farrakhan, as well as pictures of Obama partying with his wife, Michelle, and Palestinian Liberation Organization/Arafat Advisor Edward Said at an Arab fundraiser.

In addition to Schlussel’s insight, a Jan. 25, 2008 report by CNSNews.com shows that a featured link on Obama’s campaign website promotes events sponsored by “contoversial” Islamic groups.

“A portion of the ‘Muslim Americans for Obama’ page lists proposals to establish a Muslim American advisory group on U.S. foreign policy; provide prayer areas in public places such as malls, airports, universities and government buildings; institute a law to allow Muslim employees to take time from their work day for prayer; and institute a law against harassment of Muslim women in public areas …

“But it is a link and a list of events on the Muslim Americans for Obama page that has prompted critics that consider themselves watchdogs of Islamist groups to take notice.

“The list of events on the Muslim Americans for Obama page includes voter registration drives at conventions sponsored by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), held last April and August in Rosemont, Ill., and the convention co-sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS).”

Note that the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) ”is a Jamad Islamia group, which is on record as calling for jihad in the United States, to promote the notion of an Islamic world. ICNA also published something very recently saying that they are against suicide bombings, except when it comes to killing Israelis,” according to Middle East anaylst Daniel Pipes.

Further, FrontPageMagazine reports, ”MAS (Muslim American Society) was incorporated in the state of Illinois, in June of 1993. According to a December 2007 federal court brief concerning convicted terrorist Sabri Benkahla, a former member of the infamous ‘Virginia Jihad Network,’ ‘MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.’ [PDF] Amongst its founders was Mohamed Mahdi Akef, who is today the International Chairman of the Brotherhood.”

M. Zhudi Jasser, chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, and a Muslim, told CNSNews.com, “Any candidate that engaged American Islamist organizations without any ideological litmus test about their stances regarding the transnational goals of Islamism, I think that is going to be a major liability.” There’s merit in Mr. Jasser’s warning, Obama, and you’d be wise to consider it.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is proud of his brother, Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama, who converted to Islam from Christianity. Sounds innocent enough if you read the Examiner.com article about Obama’s ties to his African family and their mixed religious backgrounds.

Here’s what the Examiner (D.C.) reported on Jan. 29, 2007 about Obama’s affection for brother, Roy:

“‘The person who made me proudest of all,’ Obama wrote, ‘was Roy. Actually, now we call him Abongo, his Luo name, for two years ago he decided to reassert his African heritage. He converted to Islam, and has sworn off pork and tobacco and alcohol.’”

Now, piece that together with a Jan. 15, 2008 report from Investor’s Business Daily (that appears nearly a year after the Examiner.com article) which introduces us to the real Roy, and you’ll see why there’s reason to question Obama’s brotherly love for his militant Muslim brother.

“Obama has close family ties to Kenya, and even founded a school in his ancestral village — the Senator Obama School.

“In the bloody conflict there, which already has claimed some 700 lives, Obama appears to have sided with opposition leader Raila Odinga, head of the same Luo tribe to which Obama’s late Muslim father belonged.

“Obama’s older brother still lives there. Abongo ‘Roy’ Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must ‘liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.’ He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Beyond family politics, these ties have potential foreign policy, even national security, implications.”

The story remains untold to what extent Obama is committed to embracing his African heritage and supporting the militant activities of his brother, Roy, or the anti-Christian declarations of Raila Odinga, who claims to be his cousin. I think we already have a good idea about the leanings of his wife, Michelle, as evidenced by her tolerance for “white oppressors.”

If you think Hillary was the brains behind Bill in the White House, then just imagine the brilliant ideas Michelle has in store for her husband, Barack, to unleash on America. I’m guessing that she’s thinking, “It’s payback time!” And, maybe that’s a notion embraced by the entire Obama family.

In light of the new allegations from The New York Times that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) had an affair with a much younger female lobbyist during his 2000 presidential campaign, I decided to Google the search term ”Obama affair,” but didn’t expect the bombshell that I discovered which the mainstream media has yet to breach.

According to a man named Larry Sinclair, Obama used drugs and had (oral) sex with him in 1999. Sinclair recently posted a video on YouTube detailing the encounter with Obama which has already been viewed by more than 423,000 people. Interesting to note that there hasn’t been a single mention of Sinclair by the mainstream media or any attempt by the media or the Obama campaign to set the record straight.

Sinclair claims he has agreed to take a polygraph and has challenged Obama to do the same. He also claims to have filed a lawsuit against Obama and others for “harrassment and intimidation” since his tell-all video was released on YouTube.

On January 23, 2008, Sinclair was interviewed on the Jeff Rense Radio Show further defending the trutfulness and authenticity of his allegations. Sinclair claims he didn’t come forward for the money or the media attention and remains in constant fear for his safety.

Now, I ask, why hasn’t the mainstream media reported on this damaging allegation of homosexual sex and drug use? It doesn’t seem like they’d extend the same “benefit of the doubt” if a Republican or conservative, especially a devout Christian, had been accused of the same illicit behavior. Is the mainstream media afraid of Obama and his supporters, too? I doubt Obama has the same team working for him that rubbed-out rappers Tupac and Biggie Smalls, but someone seems to be scaring them into remaining silent.
