<![CDATA[Obama, ACORN & Their Starring Role in the Mortgage Crisis October 10, 2008 Barack Obama, congressional Democrats and Progressive-Left operatives – with the help of the mainstream media – have done a great job of spinning culpability for the mortgage crisis onto the Bush Administration, congressional Republicans and, in particular, John McCain. This is a notable moment in the history of political spin because as the facts present, Democrats and Progressive-Leftists – not Republicans –are the ones directly responsible for the current financial crisis in which our country is embroiled. At the center of this culpability are Barack Obama and ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. In order to understand how Barack Obama and ACORN are directly to blame for the mortgage meltdown, we first have to understand what ACORN is and how Barack Obama was affiliated with them...and make no mistake; Barack Obama was most definitely affiliated with ACORN. The Roots of ACORN From a comprehensive and thoroughly researched piece by Stanley Kurtz in the National Review titled, Inside Obama’s ACORN, we come to understand that ACORN has its roots in the anti-capitalist tenets of the 1960s radical left group the National Welfare Rights Organization. This groups’ goal was to force a radical reconstruction of what they described as “America’s unjust capitalist economy” by forcing the elimination of eligibility restrictions for those trying to attain inclusion on the welfare roles, thus creating an overloaded system, a crisis, so as to affect that reconstruction. Over the years, ACORN morphed its mission into one that champions a diverse set of objectives, all with an overriding goal seated in the tenets of anti-capitalism and the destruction of the US economy. The group targets privately owned companies in their pursuit of unreasonably crafted municipal living wage laws that have literally driven said companies from the areas where jobs are needed. They continue their campaign to eliminate welfare role eligibility restrictions as they crusade to roll back welfare reform. And, in an area directly related to our subject, they actively employ coercive tactics to manipulate financial institutions into abandoning best business practice by affording low-interest loans to unqualified borrowers. It is important to understand this statement fully; “...they actively employ coercive tactics to manipulate financial institutions into abandoning best business practice by affording low-interest loans to unqualified borrowers.” In 1977, the Community Reinvestment Act was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter. This law requires financial institutions to offer credit, including home ownership opportunities, to under-served populations. Translated, the Community Reinvestment Act forced financial institutions to offer credit – mortgages – to unqualified borrowers. To add teeth to this law, provisions were included to punish financial institutions that did not embrace the horrific business practice of lending money to those unable to pay it back. Because of the Community Reinvestment Act, any financial institution that wants to expand or merge – any financial institution that has earned the right to grow because of its utilization of good business practices – has to prove it has complied with the Community Reinvestment Act otherwise the growth move can be blocked through regulation set-up to enforce the law. ACORN, under the guise of affecting “affordable housing for the poor” routinely employs intimidation tactics (both physical and verbal), public charges of racism and threatens to use the Community Reinvestment Act to block business expansion. These actions have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and “organizational contributions” (read: bribes) from America’s financial institutions. Indisputably, the actions of ACORN, in their intimidation of financial institutions that make up the mortgage banking industry, serve as the chief catalyst for the mortgage crisis and the financial meltdown we are experiencing today. By coercing the mortgage banking industry into lending to those who were unqualified to borrow, ACORN instigated the collapse of the housing market and, as a result, is directly responsible for qualified borrowers – you and I – being unable to secure legitimate lines of credit today. But how does this relate to Barack Obama? Barack Obama’s Connection to ACORN When a young Barack Obama was first starting in his career as a “community organizer,” he caught the eye of Madeleine Talbot, the Chicago chapter head of ACORN. Talbot was so impressed with Obama’s organizational skills in his effort to attain asbestos abatement at a low-income housing project that she invited Obama to help train her own staff in the art of community organizing. In an article by Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN leader and a member of ACORN’s National Association Board, published in Social Policy titled, Case Study: Chicago — The Barack Obama Campaign, Barack Obama is cited as being a key figure in ACORN’s yearly leadership-training seminars. Foulkes also exposes the fact that the much-touted Project Vote campaign which Obama takes credit for organizing was, in fact, in direct partnership with ACORN. Barack Obama was retained to represent ACORN in a legal action regarding an Illinois law addressing what has come to be known as “motor-voter” voter registration. He was intentionally and specifically sought because of his days working with Madeleine Talbot. After Obama officially left ACORN and began to craft his political career he tapped into his time at ACORN to field his volunteer staff. Having trained many of the ACORN leaders in Chicago there was a well-spring of enthusiasm for his candidacies throughout the organization, candidacies that include his 1996 congressional campaign, his 2000 State Senate campaign, his 2004 US Senate campaign and today’s 2008 presidential campaign. It should be noted here that Obama sought and received endorsements from ACORN’s political arm for his political contests. A minimal effort into researching then Illinois State Senator Barack Obama’s pet projects reveals that on several occasions he introduced legislation complimentary to ACORN’s goals including legislation addressing the municipal living wage and the financial sector. And when Obama sat on the boards of the Woods Foundation and the Joyce Foundation he was afforded the wherewithal to direct grants to ACORN, which he did. Putting Two-and-Two Together There are many, including HotAir.com’s Ed Morrissey, who will rightly point out that, “It’s important not to get too carried away with the ACORN connection in the collapse. The real trigger came when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began buying up all of these loans and converting them into securities.” But a gun doesn’t shoot without bullets and ACORN’s manipulation of the mortgage banking community in securing low-interest loans for unqualified borrowers manufactured the “bullets” that were shot by the gun owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Every crisis begins with a single act but most often that act remains hidden in the shadows of the crisis. It took years to uncover the mechanics of the September 11th, 2001 attacks yet we understood all those years of planning and training in a single moment. Hitler’s rise to power didn’t begin with his ascension to chancellor, it began in a Munich beer hall years before. And the movement that is incrementally facilitating the encroachment of socialist democratic ideology in the United States didn’t start in the 1960s, it started circa World War I. In the case of the mortgage crisis and the subsequent financial meltdown that has caused hundred-point slides in the stock market in recent days, it started with training people – community activists and their coordinators – how to coerce financial organizations into employing bad business practices by providing loans to people who could never, ever pay them back. Barack Obama trained Madeleine Talbot’s budding ACORN staff how to organize people to action. He returned yearly to provide leadership-training seminars. And after ACORN employed the practice of coercing financial institution into providing low-interest loans to unqualified recipients Obama served as their legal counsel. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may have acted as the mechanism for the initiation of today’s financial crisis, but ACORN and Barack Obama exist as the genesis, the single act that morphed into financial catastrophe for our country and, very likely, the world. To deny this elementary fact is to employ the math that got us into this mess. And Barack Obama wants us to trust him with leading our country? <a href="http://newmediajournal.us/staff/fsalvato/2008/10102008.htm" rel="nofollow">http://newmediajournal.us/staff/fsalvato/2008/10102008.htm</a> ]]>

<![CDATA[John McCain SHOULD have won in 2000. But Rove/Bush slimed him into defeat. If he had won, he would have largely spared us the disaster that was the last eight years. That said, John McCain made a deal with the devil during this campaign and the devil reneged. He went from a straight talking maverick circa 2000 to just another lying two-faced "say anything to get elected" Republican piece of shit in an attempt to win the Presidency. He almost assuredly will lose this election now. Thus, he will have lost not only the White House now but his reputation. It was nice to see him today crawl out from that rock he's been hiding under. Unfortunately, it's a little too late for it. He was just STUPID. He would have been far better off to run as a "straight talking maverick" and not as a Rove retread. He would have had a shot. White man vs. Black man. Conservative vs. Liberal. Experience vs. Freshness. Now, when he tells the truth, his own supporters boo him. His campaign is officially a clusterfuck. ]]>

McCain is a dead horse and everyone knows it. Real conservatives know it, and everyone but the staunchest of those who call simply call themselves conservatives know it. However, to those real conservatives who are ready to hold their noses and vote for this phony Republican just because the could never vote Democrat, there are few things about McCain that either the media has not mentioned, or has not mentioned nearly enough. McCain missed 10 of the past 14 votes on Iraq McCain voted against the Webb amendment calling for adequate troop rest between deployments McCain Voted Against Increased Funding for Veterans' Health Care McCain Voted At Least 28 Times Against Veterans' Benefits, Including Healthcare McCain Supported Outsourcing VA Jobs To learn more about how John McCain supports the troops and people who have admirably serve their country, click here.

<![CDATA[I'm voting for Obama, there is no question. Overwhelmingly, I am convinced that the republican party needs a hard hard hard loss to receive the message loud and clear that it needs reform. The fact that so many republicans don't understand why Obama is ahead tells me they need to learn this lesson the hard way. However, today when John McCain corrected that woman who was claiming Obama was an Arab after earlier saying that people don't need to be afraid of Obama as president, John McCain established in my mind an untouchable place of honor. THAT is the John McCain I supported in 2000 and THAT is the John McCain I would proudly shake hands with and am proud to say is a US Senator. I know it won't play well with the lunatic fringe of the right(a few of which post here), but it will play well with decent God fearing Americans. Senator McCain I simply can not vote for you not because of who you are, but because of the political realities right now. Yet, you are a man of honor and I will always respect you for your candid honesty today. GW would not have the balls to do what you did. You are a good man and I wish you had won instead of Bush, I truly believe things would be so much better now, but he had the lunatic fringe backing him. You made the right choice today not just as a human being, but as an American. Your integrity is secure and I thank you from the deepest parts of my heart for setting the example that our party so desperately needs right now. If you do manage to pull off a win at this point, I will feel a lot better about it after today, though I don't think you're the better choice. God bless you.]]>

<![CDATA[Alaska inquiry finding: Palin abused power Alaska Supreme Court justice Walter Carpeneti, right, questions attorneys during oral arguments before the Alaska Supreme Court in Anchorage, Alaska, Wednesday Oct. 8, 2008 on whether to shut down an abuse-of-power investigation into Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Justices Robert Eastaugh, center and Warren Matthews, listen. The state Supreme Court refused Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008 to halt the ethics investigation into Gov. Sarah Palin. ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The inquiry looked into her dismissal of Public Safety Commissioner Walter Monegan, who said he lost his job because he resisted pressure to fire a state trooper involved in a bitter divorce with the governor's sister. Palin says Monegan was fired as part of a legitimate budget dispute. The panel found that Palin let the family grudge influence her decision-making even if it was not the sole reason Monegan was dismissed. "I feel vindicated," Monegan said. "It sounds like they've validated my belief and opinions. And that tells me I'm not totally out in left field." Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Palin and McCain's supporters had hoped the inquiry's finding would be delayed until after the presidential election to spare her any embarrassment and to put aside an enduring distraction as she campaigns as McCain's running mate in an uphill contest against Democrat Barack Obama. But the panel of lawmakers voted to release the report, although not without dissension. "I think there are some problems in this report," said Republican state Sen. Gary Stevens, a member of the panel. "I would encourage people to be very cautious, to look at this with a jaundiced eye." <a href="http://download1.legis.state.ak.us/DOWNLOAD.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://download1.legis.state.ak.us/DOWNLOAD.pdf</a>]]>

<![CDATA[October 10, 2008 A Question of Barack Obama's Character By Charles Krauthammer WASHINGTON -- Convicted felon Tony Rezko. Unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers. And the race-baiting Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is hard to think of any presidential candidate before Barack Obama sporting associations with three more execrable characters. Yet let the McCain campaign raise the issue, and the mainstream media begin fulminating about dirty campaigning tinged with racism and McCarthyite guilt by association. But associations are important. They provide a significant insight into character. They are particularly relevant in relation to a potential president as new, unknown, opaque and self-contained as Obama. With the economy overshadowing everything, it may be too late politically to be raising this issue. But that does not make it, as conventional wisdom holds, in any way illegitimate. McCain has only himself to blame for the bad timing. He should months ago have begun challenging Obama's associations, before the economic meltdown allowed the Obama campaign (and the mainstream media, which is to say the same thing) to dismiss the charges as an act of desperation by the trailing candidate. McCain had his chance back in April when the North Carolina Republican Party ran a gubernatorial campaign ad that included the linking of Obama with Jeremiah Wright. The ad was duly denounced by The New York Times and other deep thinkers as racist. This was patently absurd. Racism is treating people differently and invidiously on the basis of race. Had any white presidential candidate had a close 20-year association with a white preacher overtly spreading race hatred from the pulpit, that candidate would have been not just universally denounced and deemed unfit for office but written out of polite society entirely. Nonetheless, John McCain in his infinite wisdom, and with his overflowing sense of personal rectitude, joined the braying mob in denouncing that perfectly legitimate ad, saying it had no place in any campaign. In doing so, McCain unilaterally disarmed himself, rendering off-limits Obama's associations, an issue that even Hillary Clinton addressed more than once. Obama's political career was launched with Ayers giving him a fundraiser in his living room. If a Republican candidate had launched his political career at the home of an abortion-clinic bomber -- even a repentant one -- he would not have been able to run for dogcatcher in Podunk. And Ayers shows no remorse. His only regret is that he "didn't do enough." Why are these associations important? Do I think Obama is as corrupt as Rezko? Or shares Wright's angry racism or Ayers' unreconstructed 1960s radicalism? No. But that does not make these associations irrelevant. They tell us two important things about Obama. First, his cynicism and ruthlessness. He found these men useful, and use them he did. Would you attend a church whose pastor was spreading racial animosity from the pulpit? Would you even shake hands with -- let alone serve on two boards with -- an unrepentant terrorist, whether he bombed U.S. military installations or abortion clinics? Most Americans would not, on the grounds of sheer indecency. Yet Obama did, if not out of conviction then out of expediency. He was a young man on the make, an unknown outsider working his way into Chicago politics. He played the game with everyone, without qualms and with obvious success. Obama is not the first politician to rise through a corrupt political machine. But he is one of the rare few to then have the audacity to present himself as a transcendent healer, hovering above and bringing redemption to the "old politics" -- of the kind he had enthusiastically embraced in Chicago in the service of his own ambition. Second, and even more disturbing than the cynicism, is the window these associations give on Obama's core beliefs. He doesn't share Rev. Wright's poisonous views of race nor Ayers' views, past and present, about the evil that is American society. But Obama clearly did not consider these views beyond the pale. For many years he swam easily and without protest in that fetid pond. Until now. Today, on the threshold of the presidency, Obama concedes the odiousness of these associations, which is why he has severed them. But for the years in which he sat in Wright's pews and shared common purpose on boards with Ayers, Obama considered them a legitimate, indeed unremarkable, part of social discourse. Do you? Obama is a man of first-class intellect and first-class temperament. But his character remains highly suspect. There is a difference between temperament and character. Equanimity is a virtue. Tolerance of the obscene is not. letters@charleskrauthammer.com Copyright 2008, Washington Post Writers Group ]]>

<![CDATA[John McCain’s Dear Friend American Terrorist G. Gordon Liddy As Sarah Palin tries to connect the imaginary dots of terror between Bill Ayres and Obama, Palin should take a very close look at the relationship between John McCain and convicted criminal G. Gordon Liddy. After all McCain and Liddy have been friends for years and McCain has stated “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family.” Liddy has contributed to McCain’s campaign and has held fund raisers at his home for McCain. For the record, Bill Ayres has never been arrested, he turned himself into authorities and he never went to jail. The hypocrisy of the McCain/Palin team is stunning. McCain’s best friend is a convicted political terrorist and Todd and Sarah Palin were members of the separatist group The Alaska Independence Party. People in igloos shouldn’t throw fireballs. Liddy and McCain: Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain’s campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In 1998, Liddy held a fundraiser at his home for McCain. Liddy was reportedly scheduled to speak at another fundraiser for McCain in 2000. McCain’s campaign on Liddy’s “character”: McCain campaign officials said Liddy’s character will appeal to many voters because he was following orders from President Nixon and kept silent afterward. “Liddy’s judgment might be in question, but I don’t think his character is,” said Ed Walker, the York County chairman of McCain’s campaign. “He was following orders just like any good soldier, and he didn’t tell on anybody. He felt like he was on a mission and kept his silence.” Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud of your family,” he gushed. “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great.” G. Gordon Libby now a conservative talk show host, served four and a half years in prison for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Libby was charged with conspiracy; burglary 2 charges; wiretapping; contempt of Court and contempt of Congress. Washington Post: Watergate Players: Liddy was convicted for his role in the Watergate break-in, for conspiracy in the Daniel Ellsberg case and for contempt of court, spending about four and a half years in prison. In 1986, a federal appeals court found Liddy liable for $20,499 in back taxes on Watergate slush-fund money, rejecting his claim that his benefits did not exceed $45,000. As one of the White House “plumbers,” Liddy spent about $300,000 engineering political dirty tricks and the Watergate break-in. Liddy lives in Fort Washington, Md. In his book Will: The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy, Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in “if necessary”; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a “gangland figure” to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap protesters “leftist guerillas” at the 1972 Republican National Convention. Liddy using Nazi terminology, outlined his plan to Attorney Genral John Mitchell and memebers of the Nixon administration. Kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in: I can run for miles, and there were numerous deeply shadowed hiding places in the area from which I could pause to warn the men inside with the transceiver. Only if there were no other recourse would I have used the knife, but use it I would, if I’d had to; I had given my men word that I would protect them. For the period of the actual breaking and entering, I posted myself in a narrow space between two buildings concealed by more shrubbery, from which I could see clearly the area of the break-in, all of the private, and much of the public parking lot. [Page 167] I was completely candid with him [Egil (Bud) Krogh] in my report, showing him everything: the suitcase, tools, even the knife I had carried. He asked me, incredulous, “Would you really have used it — I mean, kill somebody?” “Only if there were absolutely no other way. But yes, I would, if necessary to protect my men. I gave them my word I’d cover them.” [Page 169] Planning the murder journalist Jack Anderson: Liddy wrote that he and GOP operative Hunt had become convinced that Anderson had compromised an overseas intelligence source’s safety and must be assassinated: Afterward Hunt and I discussed the recommendation further. It was decided to include the suggestion that the assassination of Jack Anderson be carried out by Cubans already recruited for the intelligence arm of the Committee to Re-Elect the President. [Pages 208-209] “Gangland Figure” to murder Howard Hunt: While in prison, Liddy came to the conclusion that White House officials might want his partner, Hunt, killed rather than risk Hunt cooperating with the Watergate grand jury. Liddy wrote in his book that he made plans to carry out such an assassination order: By now I knew that the fee for a killing in the D.C. jail was two “boxes.” I’d be an immediate suspect were Hunt to be killed, so it would have to be a contract sanction and I’d have to arrange an airtight alibi. That would be easy; just have myself put back in deadlock prior to the event. It wouldn’t do, however, to go around soliciting Hunt’s execution. Prisons are filled with informers. For that reason I sought the advice of a gangland figure I knew and could trust. My friend was sharp and as soon as I began to broach the subject, he nodded his understanding but jumped to the conclusion I was referring to [James] McCord, now free on bond. He offered immediately to have McCord shot. I had to explain that I appreciated his offer but had someone else in mind. I explained carefully to my friend that I had not yet received orders to kill Hunt, and that under no circumstances was he to be harmed without my specific authorization, which I would not give in the absence of unequivocal orders from my superiors. [Page 309] Liddy wrote that after Hunt cooperated with investigators, he awaited an order to kill him, but “because the message never came, Hunt lives” [Page 311]. Firebomb the Brookings Institution: We devised a plan that entailed buying a used but late-model fire engine of the kind used by the District of Columbia fire department and marking it appropriately; uniforms for a squad of Cubans and their training so their performance would be believable. Thereafter, Brookings would be firebombed by use of a delay mechanism timed to go off at night so as not to endanger lives needlessly. The Cubans in the authentic-looking fire engine would “respond” minutes after the timer went off, enter, get anybody in there out, hit the vault, and get themselves out in the confusion of other fire apparatus arriving, calmly loading “rescued” material into a van. The bogus engine would be abandoned at the scene. The taking of the material from the vault would be discovered and the fire engine traced to a cut-out buyer. There would be a lot of who-struck-John in the liberal press, but because nothing could be proved the matter would lapse into the unsolved-mystery category. [Page 171-72] The plan was not approved by the White House because the purchase of the fire engine was too expensive. [Page 172]. Kidnap protesters “leftist guerillas”: Prior to the Republican Convention, Liddy met with a group of White House officials, including Attorney General John Mitchell, to discuss ways to prevent attacks on the convention by “leftist guerrillas”: I proposed to emulate the Texas Rangers by identifying the leaders through intelligence before the attack got under way, kidnap them, drug them, and hold them in Mexico until after the convention was over, then release them unharmed and still wondering what happened. Leaderless, the attack would be further disrupted by faked assembly orders and messages, and if it ever did get off the ground it would be much easier to repel. The sudden disappearances, which I labeled on the chart in the original German, Nacht und Nebel (”Night and Fog”), would strike fear into the hearts of the leftist guerrillas. The chart labeled the team slated to carry out the night and fog plan as a “Special Action Group” and, when John Mitchell asked, “What’s that?” and expressed doubt that it could perform as I had explained, I grew impatient. In 1994, after the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, Liddy instructed his radio audience on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents: G. Gordon Liddy, radio show, 8/26/94 “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing bulletproof vests. … Kill the sons of bitches.” G. Gordon Liddy, Crossfire, 4/25/95 “What I said is, if a federal agent comes knocking at your door– specifically BATF–says I have a search warrant, open the door, let him in, stand aside and let him search. What I said is, if they come shooting–they’re shooting at you now–you have the right to self-defense, and in that event, if they’ve got a body-protection armor on, you are best to shoot to the groin area.” You betcha, Country First!

Period!!! From the Grace Commission Report during Ronald Reagan's Admin January 12, 1984 so you can look it up <a href="http://www.uhuh.com/taxstuff/gracecom.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.uhuh.com/taxstuff/gracecom.htm</a> Resistance to additional income taxes would be even more widespread if people were aware that: * One-third of all their taxes is consumed by waste and inefficiency in the Federal Government as we identified in our survey. * Another one-third of all their taxes escapes collection from others as the underground economy blossoms in direct proportion to tax increases and places even more pressure on law abiding taxpayers, promoting still more underground economy-a vicious cycle that must be broken. * With two-thirds of everyone's personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal debt and by Federal Government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their Government. The IRS will also show you how your check will be endorsed and they show it doesn't go to the but the FRB as payment of US Obligations. From IRS envelope E-179 (Rev. 6-92) TO quote: "Pay any F.R.B. Branch or Gen. Depositary for Credit U.S. Treas. This is in Payment of U.S. Oblig." Federal Reserve Notes are Obligations of the US GOvernment and we the people pay it back to the FED by income taxes.]]>

<![CDATA[With friends like these ... McCain finds his own radical friend See photos of Bill Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama Steve Chapman May 4, 2008 Can a presidential candidate justify a long and friendly relationship with someone who, back in the 1970s, extolled violence and committed crimes in the name of a radical ideology -- and who has never shown remorse or admitted error? When the candidate in question is Barack Obama, John McCain says no. But when the candidate in question is John McCain, he's not so sure. Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: "I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people."What McCain didn't mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers -- in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him. How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns -- including $1,000 this year. Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." Steve Chapman Bio | E-mail | Recent columns Related links Bill Ayers revisited Photos UIC was asked not to show Ayers papers Rush on to get files linking Obama to 1960s radical Democrat debate is a slugfest The calm after the storm Bill Ayers' turbulent past contrasts with quiet academic life Family ties proved Ayers' point Which principles would those be? The ones that told Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn't disrupt the 1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist? Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American history -- and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as "a prisoner of war." All this may sound like ancient history. But it's from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy's penchant for extreme solutions has not abated. In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, he gave some advice to his listeners: "Now if the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms, resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they're going to be wearing bulletproof vests. ... Kill the sons of bitches." He later backed off, saying he meant merely that people should defend themselves if federal agents came with guns blazing. But his amended guidance was not exactly conciliatory: Liddy also said he should have recommended shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn't enough to inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets "Bill" and "Hillary" when he practiced shooting. Given Liddy's record, it's hard to see why McCain would touch him with a 10-foot pole. On the contrary, he should be returning his donations and shunning his show. Yet the senator shows no qualms about associating with Liddy -- or celebrating his service to their common cause. How does McCain explain his howling hypocrisy on the subject? He doesn't. I made repeated inquiries to his campaign aides, which they refused to acknowledge, much less answer. On this topic, the pilot of the Straight Talk Express would rather stay parked in the garage. That's an odd policy for someone who is so forthright about his rival's responsibility. McCain thinks Obama should apologize for associating with a criminal extremist. To which Obama might reply: After you. ------------------------------ ]]>

Enter your email address John McCain has had a field day with Barack Obama's tenuous associations with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Weather Underground who is now a Chicago professor. Obama has said repeatedly that Ayers' radical past (he was involved in a handful of bombings in the 1960s) occurred when Barack was just a child, and he repudiates those actions. Nevertheless, McCain wants more. He claimed recently: "I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people." Now, however, the Chicago Tribune is pointing out McCain's own radical associations with G. Gordon Liddy: How close are McCain and Liddy? At least as close as Obama and Ayers appear to be. In 1998, Liddy's home was the site of a McCain fundraiser. Over the years, he has made at least four contributions totaling $5,000 to the senator's campaigns--including $1,000 this year. Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as "an old friend," and McCain sounded like one. "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." For those who are unaware, Liddy helped plan the Watergate break-in that would cost Nixon his presidency and landed Liddy a four-year jail sentence. But Liddy's career of inflammatory statements and actions exceed his Watergate actions. Liddy, on Vitenam: "I wanted to bomb the Red River dykes [sic]. It would have drowned half the country and starved the other half. There would have been no way the Viet Cong could have operated if we had the will-power to do that." Liddy, advising Branch Davidians how to defend themselves from ATF agents during a radio show: "If the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms insists upon a firefight, give them a firefight. Just remember, they're wearing flak jackets and you're better off shooting for the head." Liddy, on the impact Adolf Hitler had on him as a child: When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body."]]>

(Farmers & Miners Bank vs. Bluefield National Bank, 11 F2d 83, 271 US 669) "Banking Associations from the very nature of their business are prohibited from lending credit." (St. Louis Savings Bank vs. Parmalee 95 U. S. 557) "National Banks may lend their money but not their credit." (Norton Grocery vs. Peoples National Bank, 144 S.E. 501, 151 Va. 195) "Neither, as to include in its powers not incidental to them, is it a part of a bank's business to lend its credit. If a bank could lend its credit as well as its money, it might, if it received compensation and was not careful to put its name only to solid paper, make a great deal more than any lawful interest on its money would amount to. If not careful, the power would be the mother of panics . . . Indeed, lending credit is the exact opposite of lending money, which is the real business of banking, for while the latter creates a liability in favor of the bank, the former gives rise to a liability of the bank to another." (American Express Co. vs. Citizens State Bank, 194 NW 429) "A bank can lend its money but not its credit." (First National Bank of Tallapoosa vs. Monroe, 135 Ga 614, 69 SE 1123, 32 LRA) "It is not within the statutory powers for a national bank, even though solvent, to lend its credit . . ." (First Intermediate Credit Bank vs. Herisson, 33 F 2nd 841) "A national bank, under federal law being limited in its powers and capacity, cannot lend its credit."

(Gardilner Trust vs. Augusta Trust, 134 Me 191; 291 US 245) "A national bank has no authority to lend its credit." (Johnston vs. Charlottesville National Bank, C.C. Va. 1879, Fed Cas. 7425) "A contract made by a corporation beyond the scope of its power corporate powers is unlawful and void." (McCormick vs. Market National Bank, 165 U.S. 538) "A national bank . . . cannot lend its credit to another by becoming surety, endorser, or guarantor for him, such an act is ultra vires . . " (Merchants' Bank vs. Baird, 160 F 642) Despite the above court cases, Ralph Gelder, Superintendent, Department of Banks and Banking, State of Maine, said on Feb. 20, 1974, "A commercial bank is able to make a loan by simply creating a new demand deposit (so called checkbook money) through bookkeeping entry." This is in total contradiction to what the courts have said. Yet, that is exactly how the banksters create the money to loan to its customers or to buy government bonds. "Federal Reserve bank credit does not consist of funds that the Reserve authorities get somewhere in order to lend, but constitute funds that they are empowered to create. " (Federal Reserve Bank: Its Purposes and Functions, 1939 Edition) "Act is ultra vires when corporation is without authority to perform it under any circumstance or for any purpose. By doctrine of ultra vires a contract made by a corporation beyond the scope of its corporate powers is unlawful."

IT'S TRUE) and the rest of the lies that bring him to the forefront now where we have to deal with him as a possible Prez. It's just a matter of time. If it doesn't hurt now it will down the line. You can't hide what you are. Ever seen Obama smoking in public? It's no different than how he hides other parts of his character. ]]>

<![CDATA[The markets will continue to fall cause as you know, the markets look forward.. and they see that that one may become Americas next socialist president and the markets don't like it. So watch the markets continue to fall as the polls increase for obama.... it won't be good, but then again only the ignorant will vote for this inexperienced, corrupt FOOL! Can't wait to hear all you lemmings cry when your pay check gets smaller and smaller.... it's gonna be best entertainment we've seen in a while!]]>

<![CDATA[Take one look at the collection of pathetically angry people who act like Obama is the reason their free market is crumbling at a McCain event, yelling "Kill Him" and other viscious nonsense, then notice that McCain does nothing to stop it. We've had 8 years of a president chosen by such mentally challenged lunatics and we don't need anymore of it. Read the posts on here by McCain supporters, not all but many of them reveal that tinge of hateful anti-american insanity so visible at the recent rallies. You have to be anti-american to think that shouting "kill him" over political differences is a good or acceptable thing, such things fly in the face of over 200 years of our grandest tradition of freedom of dissent and freedom to disagree. That's McCain's base, the lunatic fringe. It is not made up of self made people or anything else, but is a collection of old money types(like Cindy the airhead McCain), middle managers, and a wide assortment of extradonarily mediocre people, many of whom look like they'd be right at home at a Klan rally(the Klan being one of the oldest anti-american terrorist organizations in this country). This is no surprise, Palin has deep ties to the Alaskan Independence Party, which itself has ties to lunatic organizations in the south who think the confederates were right. All of them, the confederate organizations and the Alaskan Independence Party are anti-american at their very core. So Obama served on a board with Bill Ayers... McCains current associates are far more disturbing and just as anti-American. And really, that's why he's losing. Nobody is going to respond to that hate crap except for the fringes of American society, and there is a reason they're on the fringe. They don't drive the economy, they don't do anything. Most of them are mediocre wage slaves who look to politics as a way to be a part of something greater than themselves, because individually, they tend to not have what it takes to be great on their own. Just like gang members. Same mentality. How far and low the Grand Ole Party has fallen. Now it's just the Ole Party. When the very people drooling spittle over Bill Ayers are far more immediate threats to the freedom and integrity of our republic than Bill Ayers, nobody is going to listen to that. It's too bad they don't have the ability to see how they look to the majority. They will be who end up losing this election for McCain. ]]>

<![CDATA[We understand that foolish people make foolish decisions... thats why the democrats are always in your face trying to make their case for socialism.... they have simple minds and can only live off of other peoples success... If these lemmings were successful, they would know that blaming others for their poverty is all that they have to hold on to. Liberals are so disingenuous and full of irrelevant comments that its funny.. When they make idiotic, arrogant comments based on emotion, it proves that they have no brains and are unable to make any money.... They live to get handouts, they want to make sense, but when they try, they look like complete fools.... Keep your HOPE alive, cause you'll need it when the little money that you have gets taken by obamas tax increase! We'll see who is laughing then.....Oh, and next time I see you with your sign along the freeway off ramp, I'll throw you a condem so you won't make anymore stupid human beings, cause America can't afford it!]]>

<![CDATA[You are correct, the state should not legislate morality, which is exaclty why they should not define marriage to exclude a certain group of people. You are wrong about Civil Unions, they are not the same as marriage. Civil Unions are not recognized by other states (what happens when the couple wants to move out of state? it is not fair) the process of obtaining such unions are completely different than a marriage license as well. Guess what? Kids already learn about homosexuality in public schools, passing this Prop will do nothing to stop them from learning about society and history. I am sure that there are gay teachers, gay administrators, gay students in every public school and they discuss homosexual issues already, there is nothing that can be done to prevent that (thank goodness!). Passing this Prop will however teach our kids that equal rights means nothing and that their parents that voted for it are bigots. I agree with that people should "live and let live", you are completely right that "people that disagree should be permitted to their views". So let homoesexuals live and let live and continue to hold your views about homosexuality, but denying people the right to a marriage license for no reason is wrong and goes against the philosophy of our country. I am sure that there are people that believe it is wrong for women to vote, for people to marry out of their race, for people to marry out of their age group etc...you can join that group when Prop 8 fails. in response to: ___________________________________________________________________ "Prior to the Court's decision, we had a civil union law. This gives gay couples all of the rights of straight married couples, but the name is different. Civil union, not marriage. What is the difference? The issue is whether the State is telling you that gay marriage is morally OK or not. With civil unions, gays have the same rights, but they are in a different category. With gay marriage, they are absolutely the same, and the state will enforce that. What does that mean? It means the schools will teach that gays are the same. It means that anyone who says that gays are not the same is engaging in hate speech. It means that a moral line is being drawn the state. The state is telling you that homosexual marriage is affirmatively a moral good. How about live and let live, people? Lets gays do their thing with civil unions. And let those who disagree be permitted to have their views. Keep the state out of the morality business. It does not belong there."]]>

<![CDATA[and it was all Obama and Clintons fault]]>

<![CDATA[Oh let it go already. He hosted a party for them. Big whoop. The guy is not a fugitive, he is not wanted by any law enforcement agency, there's no story there. Bust just because I know it really chaps your ass, I hope that when Obama is elected, he appoints Ayers, Farrakhan, and everyone else who you hate to high-ranking government positions. And I hope they make policies that make your life difficult. In fact, I hope they place you on a terrorist watch list, for badmouthing the President. Then maybe you'll see what it's been like for us on the left, living under eight years of insane leadership, under the thumb of a President who believes the Constitution is just a piece of paper, a President who believes we can torture people and still maintain the moral high ground. Obama will be much for fair-minded than Bush ever was, and will actively restore our nation's good standing on the world's stage. It's over, you lost. Now hows about YOU move out of the country? You're going to complain for the next eight years, maybe you'd be happier somewhere else. Just a thought.]]>

<![CDATA[You obviously didn't get the memo...the Ayers thing is blowing up in McCain's face not helping him. Keep shouting Ayers until the election if you want but its just making you look desperate and not helping McCain in the process.]]>

<![CDATA[ WILLIAM CHARLES AYERS, OMBAMA AND HIS WIFE'S VERY GOOD FRIEND. AYERS GAVE OMBAMA AND HIS WIFE A PARTY AT HIS HOUSE IN CHICAGO. THEIR BEST OF FRIENDS JUST LIKE OBAMA AND HIS PREACHER OF TWENTY YEARS. IF OBAMA IS THE PRESIDENT, WHAT JOB WILL HE GIVE THEM? HOW MANY MUSLIM JUDGE'S WILL HE APPOINT?------------------------------------------ IN THE PIC, THAT'S AYERS STOMPING ON THE AMERICAN FLAG, NOT LONG AGO....OBAMA AND HIS WIFE WAS REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT ......................................... MAN, WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY, THEY WILL MAKE------------------------ GOOD LUCK AMERICA! YOU WILL NEED IT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ]]>

<![CDATA[Republicans say dumb stuff that's way off base like "Obama is a Muslim" or "he's a terrorist." Democrats say stuff that's true like "Palin is under investigation" or "she's hiding from the media." Americans are not stupid so they can tell the difference, hence Obama kicking McCain's ass right now.]]>

<![CDATA[Yeah? Are they screaming that she's a terrorist at their rallies? Or are the McCain/palin supporters shouting that kind of nonsense about Obama? Catch up there sparky lol.]]>

<![CDATA[blog there anytime <a href="http://www.obamasprayer.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.obamasprayer.com</a>]]>

<![CDATA[Hypocrites. Oh wait Obamas a Muslim terrorist, that changes everything! you guys are now winning the election! IDIOTS LOL!]]>

<![CDATA[You wanna talk about dumbing down? Talk about when McCain got his one and only bump after picking Palin aka the biggest idiot and worlds most under qualified person for VP. All your gibberish is sour grapes. you come here and say "oh my god, all this info against the candidates I'm brainwashed into supporting" So you get all upset and start attacking people. Problem is that you're too stupid to see how that attitude is destroying any chance McCain had of winning this election. I'd almost feel sorry for you if you wernt such an asshole.]]>

<![CDATA[McCain admits he doesn't know shit about the economy and Bush was in charge for the last 8 years. Why doesn't Palin go on TV and tell us how she will help fix things? Oh that's right, shes so stupid they have to keep her away from interviews as much as possible. Republicans you're so fucked, no one's buying your shit.]]>

<![CDATA[Yup, it's official... Americans today are by far the most ignorant people in our history! When you read the irrelevant gibberish on this board you can see that the majority of Americans have no idea what is going on. They don't form their own opinions based on facts, the opinions they have are based on 2 minute TV clips, liberal media lies and just plain stupidity. When people name call and bash with no substance you know that this person is illiterate. When you read the reasons for their opinion, there is none. It is a classic Democratic trap to pit the poor masses against the few rich and create a class war that does nothing for the middle class folk. 95% of all the posts in here aren't worth reading anymore, they are arrogant losers with small minds and opinions who will learn the hard way how America works. As in all of life, there will always be more lemmings who follow the losers in life cause it goes against those who are successful. The majority of all Democrats are unsuccessful and only wish that they can hurt the rich whose hard work and success have given the poor jobs. Without those of us who have risked money and hard work, the poor wouldn't have cell phones, two cars, cable tv, etc. In the real world, poor people don't have these things. When the poor in this country tell you they can't afford healthcare, in reality they can... just get rid of your cable tv, cell phones and a car... if you peasants would live below your means, you would be able to pay for healthcare for your family... Let them vote for the muslim with no experience, cause in the end, IF he gets in, they will be the ones who suffer the most!]]>

<![CDATA[Major tactical mistake on McCain's part... ---------- These numbers, buried in the internals of a new Fox News poll out today, are the first time a national poll has tried to gauge the impact of Barack Obama's association with William Ayers. And the numbers are pretty bad for McCain: There has been some discussion of Barack Obama's relationship with the former radical activist William Ayers. Because Ayers is linked to plots to bomb the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol in the 1970s, and because Ayres recently said he wished he had done more, some people say Obama's association with Ayers calls into question his judgment. Does Obama's connection with Ayers make you less likely to vote for him for president or does it not really make a difference to your vote? Less Likely 32% No Difference 61% Strikingly, the numbers are worse for McCain among independents: Only 29% say the Ayers association makes them less likely to vote for Obama, and more than two-thirds -- 64% -- say it makes no difference. The data suggests that the vast majority of the respondents saying it makes them less likely to vote for Obama are Republicans, who probably wouldn't have supported him anyway. Meanwhile, the poll suggests that McCain's attacks could be blowing back on him: A majority -- 51% -- say he's running a negative campaign, as compared to only 21% who say that about Obama.]]>

<![CDATA[Obama Supporters have reacted to Sarah Palin like sharks in a feeding frenzy who cannto get to their prey. Love it!]]>

<![CDATA[Obama, Osama, OJ is the dream team Today's financial problem will be nothing when Obama is elected. Obama will have over a Trillion in new speeding, will TAX people earning 42K, will cause the Dow Jones be shut down for good. Records of Obama Collaborations and working with a Terrorist, Links to Acorn, voter fraud. ACORN is the main reason why the economy has tanked. Acorn had forced leading institutions to loan money to people who cannot re-pay their loans. Obama was the second biggest recipient to receive a large amount of money from Freddie Fanny Mae. So for all you liberals who wants to see the total destruction of the USA, vote for Obama]]>

<![CDATA[hahahahahahahahahahahaha, LOL. Yeah, sure there...uh...market guru. Yep, Obama is what has caused the markets to collapse, yep. Has nothing to do with greed and bad business, nope. Has nothing to do with crimes by big bankers, nope. It's all Obama's fault. Oh yeah, and uh...fanatical freedom hating muslims living in caves in Afghanistan.]]>

<![CDATA[Yeah such a big problem that we're kicking your ass all over the polls. Has obama ever been under investigation for anything? How about Palin or McCain? See how stupid you look now? You and your party are a joke. But hey keep pushin the Obama attacks cuz they're working so good right ha ha!]]>

<![CDATA[ Over the past two years we have seen the housing market collapse because some people were given a few Billions in unsubstantiated loans. This year we have seen the two of six major Investment Banks fail, one sold, and one bailed out by the Fed's as their Credit Default Swaps and Derivatives imploded because they were allowed leverage beyond reality. Now, in spite of Two Trillion dollars in Federal intervention we see an unprecendent world wide collapse of stock values. This is not caused by financial fundamentals. This is caused by fear. What is the source of this fear? Three words: Barack Hussein Obama As he has risen in the polls, and seems certain to win the coming election, the market has cratered. The realization that this charismatic sociopath and his Communist allies will destroy the American financial system is the proximate cause of the flight from equities. Nothing else has transpired in the past month to trigger it. Say the tragic words: Barack Hussein Obama and watch the stock market disintegrate. This is all the doing of Democrats. Even as they stalled the recent bailout bill, until they greased it with 100 Billion dollars of pork, they were already celebrating the coming collapse so that their improbable and unqualified candidate could become the eternal leader during a Great Depression. Thank you Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Charles Schumer, Harry Reed. I hope the Democrats are happy. I hope the obamaphilic media is happy that their boy is winning. Certainly we'll be happy standing in the bread lines. Welcome to Depression Two, the sequel. Hail Hussein! Hail Barack Hussein Obama! * &l
