And why has their endorsement been so studiously ignored by our watchdog media?
(Imagine if a similarly storied ultra-right lunatics had endorsed John McCain? Though, of course, there is no group like that on the right.)
Still, won’t it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line Communists who supported Joseph Stalin can support?
This is the kind of “unity” Mr. Obama will bring us.-

Big deal. Al-Qaeda has endorsed John McCain for President--ALSO "studiously ignored by our watchdog media."
John Hagee, a similary storied ultra-right lunatic, HAS endorsed John McCain as well.
Still, won't it be pleasant finally to have a President that the same hard-line terrorists who've gained so many converts and so much attention under BUSH can support? -

I guess it's the same reason they ignored this endorsement. Think about it! -

As a little intellectual exercise, PC25, why don't you give us a brief description of your take on Communism as a political philosophy. Why do you think it's so bad and, by extension, why we should all get the shivers because CPUSA endorses Obama over McCain? You seem to be an expert, I'd like to hear what you have to say.
Reply
On a related note, why wouldn't Al Qaada endorse McCain? As with Bush, he'd be the biggest, most successful recruiting tool they could ever ask for. -

Because it's just more guilt-by-association claptrap? Because candidates have no control over who endorses them? Because nobody really gives a rat's a$$ what communists think? Take your pick. -

Well, the communist party is a member of the left. So, logically, they would support the member with the views closest to theirs even though there is a HUGE difference between Obama's views and those of the average Communist. It would not make sense for the communist party to support McCain, whose views are those of the right.

and logically the fascists support McCain because he is closer to their position.
Reply
But since AQ also supports McCain and they are actually a danger to our nation as witnessed by 3,000 dead on 9/11 and the 4,000 plus dead in Bush`s War in Iraq, I would say McCain has some explaining to do.

Well duh! Did anyone of the "Obama supporters" know that there was a Che Guevara flag in his campaign headquarters in Huston Texas?!
Reply
Oh wait, no, they didn't know, they were too busy standing in front of their full length mirrors admiring how cool they looked in their new "Obama Hope" t-shirts.

Seriously, dude. You might want to look up some biographical information on Che Guevara. You're at a computer--it's an easy Google.
Reply
Che was born in 1928. He was 5 years old when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, 10 when Hitler annexed the Sudetenland, and 11 when WWII started. -

One word for this post. "PATHETIC!" ENOUGH SAID! Who's next to endorse Obama the ACLU or the NAACP or COF or the FDC or CAPP but don't leave these people out of the loop!
Reply
The MAO,CAO,SLACC,RAS,DEC.ATAC.IEC,DPC and finaly the FGSC Faculty Governance Steering Committee. Chairs of COF, SLAAC, FDC, MAO, CAPP, and COA
meet regularly to decide which committee tackles what. They’ve also been working on a proposal,commonly referred to as “the Faculty Sanity Initiative,” to simplify the committee structure.
Problem is... You get enough of them on your side, guess what? YOU LOOSE! -

It should work if you view this story and don't prop it then it is an automatic sink. But I don't think that is how it works. Yes they should have a sink button or something. But this seem to be the liberal attitude " we don't want to hurt anyone's self esteem.

Look into Obama's background for yourself - start with Obama's own books:
In his books, Obama admits attending "socialist conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature
Obama admits having relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA He calls hin "Frank" in Dreams From My Father
"Frank" and Obama developed a very close relationship in Hawaii. "Frank" gave Obama advice on his career path
Trevor Loudon, a New Zealand-based libertarian activist, researcher and blogger, noted evidence that "Frank" was Frank Marshall Davis in a posting in March of 2007.
Davis was a member of the CPUSA as far back as 1951
In the summer/fall 2003 issue of African American Review, James A. Miller of George Washington University reviews a book by John Edgar Tidwell, a professor at the University of Kansas, about Davis's career, and notes, "In Davis's case, his political commitments led him to join the American Communist Party during the middle of World War II-even though he never publicly admitted his Party membership." Tidwell is an expert on the life and writings of Davis.

If none of us ever read a book that as 'dangerous,' nor had a friend who was 'different,' or never joined an organization that advocated 'change,' we would all be just the kind of people Joe McCarthy (or pc25) wants.

This comment shows not only the paranoia of some members ,but, also the level that Propeller has fallen to. The vast majority of logical, intelligent posters have been driven away by this new format. A few weeks into it & it smells like ripe fish.
Reply
There are even duplicate postings of the same stories e.g. - Rice says America safe with Obama - posted twice. I feel like a smoker trying to kick the habit by smoking vile substances, maybe that's why I keep coming back here occasionally.
Sure miss the old Prop & old friends from both sides-

Yeah, lets all just have a kumbaya, circle jerk love fest for Obama and liberals here on Propeller. All dissenters need not reply. After all, anyone opposed to your point of view are smear merchants out to destroy the true ideology that is best for everyone; liberalism. No wonder libs/hollywood love Castro and Chavez. They control the media and the press. That way we can all be puppet, mind numbed robots. Good bye freedom, hello totalitarianism.

How the GOP Got Stuck On Stupid
Reply
Imagine the ignorant fast-talking and opinionated schoolyard bullies and jerks many of us encountered back in grade school. Now, they’re all grown up. That pretty much describes the bulk of political parasites that have infested the Republican Party over the last 20-plus years. The rhetoric and integrity of this once Grand Old Party has become deeply infected by some of the most morally bankrupt political and intellectual hacks in history-

So he must be a communist right?
Reply
That is the type of (ill)logic that has Americans dumbed down.
So, if NAMBLA really endorses McCain, does that mean he's a pedophile?
“We believe that Senator McCain will be a great president. He’s a father figure who shares our values of family, national security and service to others,” said NAMBLA president Deiter Schaussen. “But our endorsement of John McCain doesn’t mean we dislike the boyish Senator Barack Obama. In fact, we really really like Obama and would like to take him out for some ice cream.”
Surprisingly, Obama accept their invitation. “You know what, I really really like ice cream, and I would love to have some ice cream with anyone who loves children…Who knows maybe I can swing their endorsement my way.” After being told by his staff why NAMBLA really really loves children, Obama reneged on the ice cream date adding, “I really really hate the First Amendment sometimes, I really really do.”

While the media elite goes after Vets for Freedom for making a TV buy for John McCain, they're giving Barack Obama a free ride as he surfs a wave of PAC money to the Democratic nomination, a wave that, if anything, is nearing tsunami proportions despite his boasts that he doesn't accept donations from PACs.
Reply
The political committees of just one such entity -- which according to Obama's own website, he "begged" for their support -- dwarf the Vets' $1 million ad buy. According to the Center for Responsible Politics, the Service Employees International Union spent over $9 million during a crucial three month period to help the Big O secure the Democrats' nomination.
And not only did SEIU PACs spend money for Obama at a breathtaking rate, they did so in ways that could turn federal regulations governing such expenditures on their ear.
FEC rules require that such so-called "independent expenditures" by political committees be limited to communications, such as the ubiquitous TV spots and newspaper ads to which we have all become accustomed, but SEIU's PACs have paid for such campaign essentials as door-to-door canvassing for Obama, voter identification and registration, and even bus rental and food for pro-Obama rallies.
Obama can hardly claim ignorance of SEIU's free-spending M.O. A September 17, 2007 article in The Atlantic says of Obama,
"he is a longtime friend of Chicago's SEIU Local 880 and worked closely with the union as an organizer and later as a state legislator."
"I've spent my entire adult life working with SEIU. I'm not a newcomer to this. I didn't suddenly discover SEIU on the campaign trail."
Obama’s International Socialist Connections
AIM Column | By Cliff Kincaid | February 14, 2008
Obama's socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat.
Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the "champions" of "Chicago's democratic left" and a long-time socialist activist. Obama's stint as a "community organizer" in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.-

Are you trying to say that labor unions are Communist, Klarissa? (I don't believe they have those in the U.S.S.R., China, North Korea or Cuba.)

What does the Service Employees' International Union do that you object to? How are they Communist? -

Obamas teen mentor....Frank Marshall Davis (CPUSA member)
Reply
The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his poetry and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just Frank." Source: Cliff Kincaid, Accuracy in the Media
"Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii, who wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis was a significant influence on Obama when the senator attended Punahou prep school in Hawaii from 1975 to 1979" Source: Jim Corsi, WorldNetDaily based on Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection (Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein)-

Seriously? You're worried about the spread of Communism?
Reply
Do you really believe Obama, after 10 years of government service and longer than that in public life, has some kind of secret Communist agenda to turn the U.S. into the Soviet Union? Most of the largest Communist countries are gone.
We have a new enemy now, remember? Your fearless leaders have given you a new scapegoat--Islam.
Geez. I thought tin-foil hats were out of style.
