    IMAO: Liberals and America

    "I like the whole controversy with the Democrats having thrown all their American flags into a dumpster. Of course, the Democrats said they weren't throwing the flags into a dumpster; that was a "respectful flag storage unit." They were just storing the flags there along with their used tissues and coffee grounds. What would you expect though if you give Democrats a bunch of flags? Sure, they'll wave it when the cameras are on them, but there hearts are not going to be in it. They don't really like America as its filled with Americans like Sarah Palin. In fact, it's the only country inflicted with such people. Too chicken to leave the country, they're only here because they're stuck here. So, after the cameras go away, how is the flag anything but trash?"

    Why Obama's "Community Organizer" Days Are a Joke
    by Michelle Malkin, Townhall.com


    "Rudy Giuliani had me in stitches during his red-meat keynote address at the GOP convention. I laughed out loud when Giuliani laughed out loud while noting Barack Obama's deep experience as a "community organizer." I laughed again when VP nominee and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin cracked: "I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."

    Team Obama was not amused. (Neither were the snarky left-wingers on cable TV who are now allergic to sarcasm.) They don't get why we snicker when Obama dons his Community Organizer cape. Apparently, the jibes rendered Obama's advisers sleepless. In a crack-of-dawn e-mail to Obama's followers hours after Giuliani and Palin spoke, campaign manager David Plouffe attempted to gin up faux outrage (and, more importantly, donations) by claiming grave offense on the part of community organizers everywhere. Fumed Plouffe:

    "Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack's experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed. Let's clarify something for them right now. Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies."

    Let me clarify something. Nobody is mocking community organizers in church basements and community centers across the country working to improve their neighbors' lives. What deserves ridicule is the notion that Obama's brief stint as a South Side rabble-rouser for tax-subsidized, partisan nonprofits qualifies as executive experience you can believe in.

    What deserves derision is "community organizing" that relies on a community of homeless people and ex-cons to organize for the purpose of registering dead people to vote, shaking down corporations and using the race card as a bludgeon.

    As I've reported previously, Obama's community organizing days involved training grievance-mongers from the far-left ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). The ACORN mob is infamous for its bully tactics (which they dub "direct actions"); Obama supporters have recounted his role in organizing an ambush on a government planning meeting about a landfill project opposed by Chicago's minority lobbies.

    With benefactors like Obama in office, ACORN has milked nearly four decades of government subsidies to prop up chapters that promote the welfare state and undermine the free market, as well as some that have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and voter fraud. Since I last detailed ACORN's illicit activities in this column in June (see "The ACORN Obama knows," June 19, 2008), the group continues to garner scrutiny from law enforcement:

    Last week, Milwaukee's top election official announced plans to seek criminal investigations of 37 ACORN employees accused of offering gifts to sign up voters (including prepaid gas cards and restaurant cards) or falsifying driver's license numbers, Social Security numbers or other information on voter registration cards.

    Last month, a New Mexico TV station reported on the child rapists, drug offenders and forgery convicts on ACORN's payroll. In July, Pennsylvania investigators asked the public for help in locating a fugitive named Luis R. Torres-Serrano, who is accused "of submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registration forms he collected on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now to county election officials." Also in July, a massive, nearly $1 million embezzlement scheme by top ACORN officials was exposed.

    ACORN's political arm endorsed Obama in February and has ramped up efforts to register voters across the country. In the meantime, completely ignored by the mainstream commentariat and clean-election crusaders, the Obama campaign admitted failing to report $800,000 in campaign payments to ACORN. They were disguised as payments to a front group called "Citizen Services, Inc." for "advance work."

    Jim Terry, an official from the Consumer Rights League, a watchdog group that monitors ACORN, noted: "ACORN has a long and sordid history of employing convoluted Enron-style accounting to illegally use taxpayer funds for their own political gain. Now it looks like ACORN is using the same type of convoluted accounting scheme for Obama's political gain." With a wave of his magic wand, Obama amended his FEC forms to change the "advance work" to "get-out-the-vote" work.

    Now, don't you dare challenge his commitment to following tax and election laws. And don't you even think of entertaining the possibility that The One exploited a nonprofit supposedly focused on helping low-income people for political gain.

    He was just "organizing" his "community." Guffaw."

  3. I would prefer different candidates, but there aren't any left to choose from. The powers that be have seen to that.
    Here's the deal breaker for me concerning Obama, He has more than a passing acquaintance with William Ayers,(known terrorist), Tony Resko,(known criminal), and Rev. Wright,(crazy racist). Given his close relationships with these people we are left with Mac/Palin.

    Agreed - I don't want the likes of Ayers, Rezco and Wright anywhere near the White House.

  5. It's Left vs. Radical Left! The decision by MSNBC to kick Oberman to the curb is further proof that the radical left is helping the middle of the roaders to make up their minds, and the shift is definitely to the right as evidenced by the new polling data.
    It's a given that most of MSM is decidedly left leaning, but most are not f'n crazy. They know if they don't find a way to put a muzzle on the Obermans of the media world the election is lost for the Dems.
    Will it work? History has proven no. The radical left just doesn't know when to STFU!

    Exactly...these idiots and their supporters(mostly their radical supporters) are going to lose it for themselves. And they just don't see it.
    If they just went around and acted like decent people, they might have had a shot.
    Noone to blame but themselves

  9. It's all over the news this morning. Obama stepped in it again. His statement would be like Palin saying, you can take a black man out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the black man.
    The lefties are in a total meltdown. Will they be able to put humpty dumpty back together again? Time is running short.

    LIAR.

    Barack Obama says the John McCain-Sarah Palin policies don’t represent change, they’re “just calling the same thing something different.”

    “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” Obama said during a town-hall style event here Tuesday night.


    Obama was clearly talking about McCain's claim of "change" as lipstick on the pig of McCain's campaign.
