'Smears' About Obama Largely True
Monday, October 20, 2008 9:32 PMBy: Lowell Ponte
The Obama campaign says its candidate is a victim of “smears” — and has even created a Web site to fight such attacks.
But a Newsmax investigation finds many of the so-called smears are largely based in truth — and the Obama campaign uses half-truths, clever language, and ad hominem attacks to spin the facts.
Obama’s www.FightTheSmears.com focuses mainly on anti-Obama messages being repeated on the Internet and talk radio, the only media where Obama's ideological allies are not dominant.
These "smears" and the Obama rebuttals are often framed in lawyerly language that leaves much wiggle room in the candidate’s answers.
FightTheSmears.com also makes no attempt at objectivity, describing Obama’s critics as “pushing misleading research and distorted claims” because they are “ideologues” busy “spreading a ‘pack of lies’ about Barack.”

Biden Confirms that Obama Too Inexperienced
“When Crisis Hits Obama Wouldn't Have Right Response” - Sen. Joe Biden
Terrorists attack the US and two planes just crashed into the World Trade Center. Another crashed into the Pentagon and a fourth plan is still in the air heading toward the White House. Americans look to the White House for Security, protection and decisive action during the crisis.
Obama what will you do, what will you do?
Where is Obama?
With no experience and just two years as a Senator he is out back in the rose garden smoking a cigarette. “The pressure of the crisis has raised his stress levels to the point where he really needs to take a drag.” says Assistant Press Secretary Simon Theodore who continued "Barack really tried to quit"
Obama not being able to make a decision will force an irresponsible Biden to step in to assure the nation that everything is OK by saying that you ”have to stand with them, because it wouldn't be apparent Sen. Obama would have the right response”.

Obama's economic advisor a 'big gov't' proponent
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 10/21/2008 6:00:00 AM
A conservative author says one of Barack Obama's most trusted economic advisers holds internationalist views that threaten American sovereignty.
During their final presidential debate, Barack Obama rejected John McCain's claim that the Illinois senator's associations with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and the liberal group ACORN are troubling. Obama noted that, on economic policy, he associates with Warren Buffett and former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Buffet and Volcker are among the advisers that Obama says "have shaped [his] ideas and who will be surrounding [him] in the White House."
Tom Kilgannon, president of Freedom Alliance, says Volcker supports the idea of an international regulatory body overseeing America's capitalist economic system. "Paul Volcker, I think, brings a great desire to add more regulation, both domestically and internationally," Kilgannon explains. "He comes from the big government wing, and that's how he would approach issues like this -- get the government more involved."
Volcker, according to Kilgannon, was not aggressive enough in his investigation of the United Nations "Oil for Food" scandal in 2004. Volcker was appointed by former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan to lead the probe of the scandal, which occurred under Annan's watch. According to Kilgannon, the appointment was a conflict of interest.
"When the final report came out, issued by Volcker about the Oil for Food scandal, he pulled his punches on the Secretary General and the Secretary General's son Kojo Annan, who was also involved in the scandal," he says.
Kilgannon believes, since Volcker is tied in with the United Nations and the international finance community, his role in a future Obama administration would be troubling.

Oscar,
I told you that Senator Chris Dodd and other liberals not only looked the other way as Fannie Mae changed the rules to push subprime mortgages, but they took thousands in campaign cash.
I pointed out that the person who took the second highest amount of cash was Senator Barack Obama, and in turn he used Fannie insiders to pick his VP nominee.
Now we learn they had an accomplice.
…ACORN
Worse, ACORN – a left wing activist group – not only aided the push for subprime loans, they extorted millions from the very mortgage companies they targeted in the process.
Even worse, ACORN has misused taxpayer money, mixed it with politics and now we are seeing the results.
THAT IS WHY ACU IS CALLING FOR AN EXPANDED FBI INVESTIGATION INTO ACORN, SENATORS OBAMA AND DODD AND THEIR ROLES WITH ACORN. We need your support on this project. We need you to sign the PETITION HERE.
The results are being seen in ACORN’s new front page story: the story of how ACORN Is promoting voter fraud.
ACU has created a new 2 minute video that spells out these facts for the American people. We want people to know the truth. Our Video is on our petition page and on the national video channel YouTube. If you would like to view this 2 minute video it is on a separate page with a link to our PETITION HERE.
Year after year we open our newspapers to read about efforts from the United States to send delegations to monitor elections for fairness in third world countries. But who is going to monitor ours?
ACORN and its various subsidiaries have earned millions from pork earmarks from Dodd and people like House liberal Rep. Barney Frank. Studies have proven that this money has been mixed into their political efforts to promote left-wing ballot initiatives and now apparently to push voter fraud.
THAT IS WHY ACU IS CALLING FOR AN EXPANDED FBI INVESTIGATION INTO ACORN, SENATORS OBAMA AND DODD AND THEIR ROLES WITH ACORN. We need your support on this project. We need you to sign the PETITION HERE.
Our video on our separate video page points out what they might be up to.
Who used to work for ACORN? Senator Barack Obama.
Obama not only did legal work for ACORN but his campaign gave ACORN more than $800,000 this year. Now ACORN is being investigated in multiple states for illegally registering non-voters. The FBI has launched an initial investigation. ACORN offices have been raided.
We all remember how close our nation’s electoral contest was in Florida in 2000. Now, ACORN is attempting to stuff ballot boxes with thousands upon thousands of fraudulent votes. We must reach and out and try to stop them.
THAT IS WHY ACU IS CALLING FOR AN EXPANDED FBI INVESTIGATION INTO ACORN, SENATORS OBAMA AND DODD AND THEIR ROLES WITH ACORN. We need your support on this project. We need you to sign the PETITION HERE.
While taking taxpayer money for its ACORN H.C., and while claiming it is not involved in Voter Fraud, ACORN’s website points out what they are really all about.
ACORN’s website says, quote: “Incident Highlights Republican Suppression Scheme , Bogus "Voter Fraud Charges" Aim to Camouflage Voter Suppression, and Don't Let The Right-Wing Noise Machine Get Away With It.
"My question to you is: are we going to let ACORN get away with voter fraud, promoting economic collapse and efforts to steal an election contest? Will you let them get away with it?
ACU IS CALLING FOR AN EXPANDED FBI INVESTIGATION INTO ACORN, SENATORS OBAMA AND DODD AND THEIR ROLES WITH ACORN. We need your support on this project. We need you to sign the PETITION and support this effort now, HERE.
If you want, take a couple minutes to view ACU’s new ACORN video here. But, whether you do or not, please join ACU’s call for an expanded FBI investigation through our petition here.
We need your help with this important effort. Please forward this email to your family and friends. We need to spread the truth. We need to push an further investigation.
THAT IS WHY ACU IS CALLING FOR AN EXPANDED FBI INVESTIGATION INTO ACORN, SENATORS OBAMA AND DODD AND THEIR ROLES WITH ACORN. We need your support on this project. We need you to sign the PETITION HERE.

What’s on Bill Ayers’ door
By Michelle Malkin • October 15, 2008 11:13 AM
Guess his Mao poster and Obama signs are hanging in the bedroom. Via Chicago Trib:
Ayers’ office door is decorated with pictures of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Che Guevara and Malcolm X. It is also home to pictures of children, bills of rights for students and parents, and a rainbow-hued greeting card advising “How to Be Really Alive.” A place of prominence is give to a New Yorker cartoon of a man interviewing for a job. The interviewer says, “I’m trying to find a way to balance your strengths against your felonies.”
“Rehabilitated” my foot.
In related Ayers’ news, read this e-mail from an education major at Marist College. I imagine Ayers’ book is standard fare for legions of teachers-in-training:
I thought you would be interested to know that Marist College has a gradute course for education majors opening with William Ayers’ book “To Teach”. I am one of four students in the seminar and the professor last week made some disparaging remarks that the news media was portraying him as a terrorist. She tried to explain the “times” of the sixties as being radical and what Ayers did was not too uncommon during the civil rights campaign, and how he was a friend of Stokley Carmichael. When I asked how we could take the book, which is well written in it’s prose but very anti-system/anti-traditional with clear overtones that stigmatizes education in America as being designed for white suburbia, as being credible - she went into a convoluted answer that berated the right wing media.
Nevertheless, I didn’t press the issue too much as I have not been brainwashed by the main steam media into believing Obama’s relationship with Ayers is no big deal - but I do find her choice of books to be an unnecessary indoctrination on education majors who will be teaching future generations of young people. There are, without question, plenty of other well written books by credible authors that can easily replace Ayers’ book and I believe this is something Marist College should not condone as it sends a biased message from an author who committed violent crimes and doesn’t see America as a good place. How, therefore, can one take his viewpoint on how teachers should ‘teach’ children as being feasible?
Maybe this would be something you want to look into as to why the book is used for the course.
********************
More schools to avoid: UNC-Chapel Hill. They heart The Unrepentant Terrorist.
Bill Ayers, the radical militant-turned-university professor whose ties to Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama are under scrutiny, is getting some support from faculty members across the country.
Professors from UNC-Chapel Hill are among the more than 3,200 educators who have signed an online petition in support of Ayers. More than a dozen signatories are from local universities here in the Triangle.
Lawrence Grossberg, a UNC communications studies professor, said he signed the petition because he believes Ayers should not be demonized for his actions 40 years ago. He said he also respects the work Ayers does now as an education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Ayers is a school reform advocate who has written or edited more than a dozen books.
“He did break the law, and he was punished and he moved on,” Grossberg said. “He built an extraordinary life. He has become one of the leading scholars in the field of education. [People are] excoriating him for things he did 40 years ago and misrepresenting what he has done since, in order to make someone else suffer. That doesn’t seem very American to me.”
He wasn’t punished. And he hasn’t moved on.

Why I Can't Vote For Obama
By Huntley Brown
Dear Friends,
A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it's worth repeating...
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness. I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can't dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can't vote black because I am black; I have to vote Christian because that's who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won't be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King's words, don't judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don't know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record. His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing. Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating. There is a reason the homosexual community supports him. There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him. There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court.
There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill. There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion. There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let's take a look at the practice he wanted to continue
The 5 Step Partial Birth Abortion procedures:
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. (Remember this is a live baby)
B. The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him. There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: You can't give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright's sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 - 20 'Go and make disciples of all nations.' This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you; talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have
a ...
1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama's former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can't be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can't have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if itʼs a white church or a black church it's still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama's former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: 'Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama's mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing - judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king. First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 'Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.' Then God says 1 Samuel 1:18 ' When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.' 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. 'No!' they said. 'We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.' 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, 'Listen to them and give them a king.'
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama's positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone's value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation.
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
Blessings,
Huntley Brown
