FOX News’ Latest Smear: Obama Blamed for Nigerian Spam

hannity bashes obama every night.....what's his cheer obama radical liberal...ayers,rev. wright,bitter....anytime he questions a dem or supporter of obama he goes through the same list every time the guy is a nut

I like the titles of articles like this one:

Obama campaign: Wife never used the word "whitey"

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hNiz4P0du8Ns7bKLYjDX8rss1GBgD918Q4FO5

Hey, can anyone make up one like this?

McCain never said "Obama was a n*gger"

Sue @ 4:

Funny....how anyone could watch Fox or take them seriously is beyond me....

i dabble with that hannity&colmes show to see how the other side is thinking.......trust me it's not easy big time propaganda

pissed off patricia @ 6:

Senator Obama totally outclasses these pricks on Fox. While their small brains are stuck in first gear, Senator Obama is racing ahead at full speed. Those who rely on the smears are the very ones who would never vote for Senator Obama no matter what.

they want to hate this guy because he is not like them...there isn't much on obama he hasn't been in washington long. so your correct they have to depend on smears/exaggerations/sound bites...etc.

Jon Steward is right on target. FOX is a trip - especially Hannity. His performance is pathetic. And then the put Karl Rove up there like he is someone respectable. By the way, was he not subpoenaed? Whats going on with him? I want that bastard in jail.

You know some republicans are sitting in some backroom and saying to one another, Hell, the dems are going to kick our asses in November and they're even doing it with a black candidate.

POP, I seriously doubt they're using the word "black". Most of those repig morons thing they're being polite when they say 'n*gra".

Ridiculous comment.

What's the matter, Denis? Does it scare you too?

The constant attacks on Rev. Wright, as if he was some sort of a radical to not have fond memories of segregation, lynchings, police brutality, etc.

When are they going to catch Doocey in an airport bathroom? It's got to happen sooner or later.

My favorite is the "Marxist-Communist" smear. I have heard a few call him this. As if being a regular communist isn't enough to smear him with, it has to be a Marxist Communist. The thing I like about this is that to call someone a commie is sooooo old. That was a 1950's smear. The GOP is an organization for the old timer political hacks.

Ridiculous Comment? I almost agree with you. A previous poster was right, the party of Strom Thurman would most likely use a much more offensive word.

Let them. People aren't as racist as they used to be (in most states). That kind of thinking will just backfire against them.

That's a good thing. Let them burn their bridges. We can see them for what they are.

Remember that worms shrivel up in the light of day.

Funny thing is that when a liberal gets thru his call screeners and brings up just ONE Dem talking point, Hannity bashes him saying he 'sounds like a broken record'. Hannity firmly believes in the GOP theory that repatition of the same bullshit, eventually makes it not only true, but also interesting to his listeners. I think Hannity is proof that the Repugs have got NOTHING, abosulutely NOTHING left in the tank. They spent it all on bashing Hillary and now they're stuck with an empty gun and John McSame in their corner, and they HATE McSame !

sad.

Yes, but a worm performs a useful service when alive. Republican's cannot make that claim.

I recently got an e-mail from one of the right wing members of the fam, their latest thing is how Obama's grandma was a "Frankfurt school Marxist" and thus she must have influenced him into some kind of manchurian candidate who will surely force feed Mao's red book the second day after his inauguration. Ironically, this moron would not know Marxist works if it byte her in the arse, much less the tenets of the "Frankfurt school of Marxism."

Frankfurt - School - Marxist -

You have GOT to be f-ing kidding me!

I posted this a couple of days ago. I think it warrants posting again as it is exactly the kind of thing Jon is warning us about. This is an e-mail that was sent to me by a friend who's mother is an avid O'reilly watcher. Scary.

THIS WAS SENT TO MY FRIEND, ARLENE TAYLOR FROM HER MISSIONARY FRIENDS IN AFRICA. THIS IS TRUE AND YOU NEED TO READ IT! SINCE THIS IS A PERSONAL FRIEND, YOU WONT FIND IT ON SNOPES. (Actually it is on snopes and its debunked)http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/kenya.asp

Letter from missionaries in Africa about Obama

Celeste and Loren Davis are Missionaries in Africa and can shed some light on one of our Presidential candidates. Celeste is the wife of Missionary Loren Davis and she is involved in his ministry. They have made numerous mission trips to Africa and actually had their DC-3 shot down on one of their trips. This letter is to her cousin:

Dear (Cousin),

Thanks for sending out an alert about Obama. We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence(over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead. Obama, under 'friends of Obama,' gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany. Odinga has been trying to bring Kenya down for years and the last president threw him in prison for trying to subvert this country! December 27th elections brought cries from ODM (Odinga Camp) of rigged election. Obama and Odinga speak daily. As we watch Obama rise in the US we are sure that, whatever happens, he will use the same tatic, crying rigged election if he doesn't win and possibly cause a race war in America .

What we would like you to know is what the American press has been keeping a dirty little secret. Obama IS a Muslim, he IS a racist,and this is a fullfilllment of the 911 threat that was just the beginning. Jihad is the only true Muslim way. We have been working with them for 20 years this July! Obama is not an American as we know it. Please encourage your friends and associates not to be taken in by those who are promoting him. It is worldwide jihad. All our friends in Europe are very disturbed by the Mulsim infiltration into their countries. By the way, his true name is Barak Hussein Muhammed Obama. Won't that sound sweet to our enemies as they swear him in on the Koran!

God Bless you.

Pray for us here in Kenya. We are still fighting for our nation to withstand the same kind of assult that every nation, including America, is fighting. Takeover from the outside to fit the new world order. As believers, this means we will be the first targets. Here in Kenya, not one mosque was burned down, but hundreds of churches were burned down, some with people in them, burned alive. Jesus Christ is our peace but the new world order of Globalism has infiltrated the church and confused believers into thinking that they can compromise and survive. It won't be so.

Celeste and Loren Davis
About our Father's business!

Yes, but they own the media, energy supplies and the arms manufacturing in America. That is why they usually win. I fully expect to see an assassination. That is what Republicans do when we see progressives get anywhere near the White House. When the smears fail to have the desired effect, that will be their option of choice.

sad.

P.D. @ 32:

You should hear the Obama bashing on C-Span on the call-in segment every morning. These people are almost hysterical! Their bigotry is plain for the world to see. How many times do you have to tell them that Obama isn't a secret Muslim? How many times do you have to tell them he wasn't born Africa? These peole are a dying breed of homophobic bigots who may have a heart-attack when Obama gets elected. I guess they will have to contented with burying their heads in the sand, listening to Limpballs and Faux News.

I fully expect an assassination. The military industrial complex can always depend on the fear and loathing in the right wing nut jobs to prevent a
populist like Obama from entering the White House. Why are military helicopters reading for action at the Democratic convention I wonder?

Hannity has no idea what a low life slime he is, what a frigging moron. Fux might as well never exist because I never watch it.

Hannity claims that the Repug Party has 'abandoned its core principles' and that all they need to do to regain full power is simply follow Hannity's ten-step program. What Hannity never asks is WHY did Republicans abandon their core principles to begin with and, more importantly, In exchange for WHAT ??

They abandoned them in order to fall in line with the NEO-conservative wing of the GOP which is now more than a wing, in fact it's the whole entire chickenhawk itself. They have sold their souls to the (Neocons/devil, same thing).

that's the major reason for their smear strategy they don't have much on him he hasn't been in washington long hasn't been bought...in addition to that he is differnet then them so that brings on the hate...you know if your not with us your against us...there going to put it on thick for the black and white thinkers to make the race close near 50-50..people aren't that smart or don't want to think for themselves let someone else make he decision for them

Plagiarizing Tom Delay: Unless he proves otherwise, I believe John McCain is an alien robot sent here to enslave the earth. Spread the word.

I'm watching a hearing about prisoner interrogation techniques on C-span2. Very interesting. The guy they are questioning now will head straight for the bar if this day ever ends for him. He's the former general council to the defense dept. The repubs are kissing his ass, generally. The dems are kicking his ass, soundly.

Lets not go that far regarding assassination. I too listen to C-Span and I used to wonder where they get the shit they say. Then I watched FOX and especially Hannity and realize oh, that's where that shit came from . There are many places here and abroad where only FOX is broadcast. Scary thought.

Unfortunately there are lots of people who watch Hannity faithfully, that have no idea what a slime he is either. Members of the anti-fact based community. And any money those very same people are trying to do mental gymnastics to find the similarities between Obama's and Cuomo's speeches, like being at war with Eurasia one minute and Eastasia the next. They will make a case of "OF TO WE", make no mistake.

The religion section. This country makes me want to vomit.

I have heard "devout" mega-church attending Christians how Obama should get a bullet since he will send this whole country to the poor house.

Funny how people don't give a rats ass when they are lied into a war, the country is bankrupted, and hundreds of thousand of innocent Iraqis lie dead as the aftermath of this clusterfuck. But insinuate that someone may spend dollars on social programmes and these so-called Christians get their collective panties in a bunch... enough to call for murder.

NEWSFLASH!!!!

I just checked some old footage... George Bush used Cuomo's "Is Of We" to announce the invasion of Iraq. That won't be good for anyone!

Subject: Obama's Mother's Bio - This is a conservative Kansan??

The background of Obama's mother
Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years"
Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack's Mother

Stanley Ann Dunham, Mercer Island High School
Interesting information.....
Stanley Ann Dunham Obana Soetoro (November 29, 1942 - November 7, 1995), known as Ann Dunham and Stanley Ann Dunham, was an American anthropologist, left-wing social activist, and the mother of Senator Barack Obama. She was born in Fort Leavenworth , Kansas , to Stanley and Madelyn Dunham. Her father was a furniture salesman in downtown Seattle , Washington , and her mother worked for a bank. After a year living in Seattle , her family moved to Mercer Island , Washington , in 1956 so that 13-year old Ann could attend the Mercer Island High School that had just opened. At the school she was on the debate team and graduated in 1960.
Her family moved to Hawaii and Ann attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she studied anthropology.
When Ann Dunham arrived in Hawaii , she was a full fledged radical leftist and practitioner of critical theory. She also began to engage in miscegenation (inter-racial relationships) as part of her attack on society. Susan Blake, one of her friends has stated she never dated "the crew-cut white boys", She had a world view, even as a young girl. It was embracing the different, rather than that ethnocentric thing of shunning the! different. That was where her mind took her. In Hawaii she met Barack Obama, Sr. from Kenya in her Russian language class. Barack Obama, Jr. was born August 4, 1961.
Barack Obama, Sr. left Ann and their son in 1963 to attend Harvard in Boston Press reports claim Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. were divorced around this time; however, no evidence has yet been presented to show they were ever married. The senior Obama obtained a masters degree in economics at Harvard and returned to Kenya in 1965 where he obtained a position in the Kenyan government. He w! as kille d in an automobile accident in 1982.
Two years later, when her son was five, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager and practicing Muslim whom she met at the university. In 1967 they moved to Jakarta , Indonesia While in Indonesia Ann got a job at the American embassy teaching English.
Barack's half-sister, Maya Soetoro was born in Indonesia Ann, Obama and his sister Maya moved back to Hawaii Ann Dunham soon returned to Indonesia with Maya but divorced Soetoro in the late 1970s.
Dunham traveled around the world, pursuing a career in rural development that took her to Ghana , India , Thailand , Indonesia , Nepal and Bangladesh In 1986 Ann Dunham worked on a developmental project in Pakistan Later that year Ann and her daughter traveled the S! ilk Road in China In 1992 she earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawaii Her dissertation, "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia : Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds," was 1067 pages long. She worked for the Ford Foundation and promoted Microlending.
During Obama's campaign for the 2008 presidential election he portrayed his mother as a conservative girl from Kansas ; however in reality she was a radical leftist and cultural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area; spending her teenage years in Seattle coffee shops with other young radical leftist. Obama claims his mother's family were conservative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas However his mother's parents were members of a left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle The church located in Bellevue , Washington was nicknamed "the little red church," because of it's communist leanings.
The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School , was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on its staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical ! theory curriculum to students which included; rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert's and Wichterman classrooms was some times called "anarchy ally."
Dunham has been described by her friends as "a fellow traveler..." meaning a communist sympathizer.
In an interview, Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
Before she died Ann Dunham wanted to adopt a mixed-race Korean baby fathered by a Black American stationed in South Korea Ann Dunham died in Hawaii in 1995 of ovarian cancer and uterine cancer.
Comment:
Appears to have been well educated and traveled. However, her upbringing and pre-collegiate education during her formative years; known Marxist politics and activities makes it really difficult to identify her as a conservative; and if she really was "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics.", then we are in a world of hurt if this individual is elected to the highest office in the land.
