Will MSM Report on Obama Membership in Socialist New Party? »
Posted By PinkyPie 8 months, 3 weeks ago in Political NewsThe mainstream media thought that the membership of Todd Palin, who is not a candidate for any office, in the Alaska Independence Party important enough to report in such outlets as the Los Angeles Times , MSNBC , and the New York Times , among others. So now that Barack Obama's membership in the far left New Party has been unearthed, will they report his membership in that Socialist organization?

I am not surprised but I am surprised this information was unearthed. Great post, thanks Pinky. I doubt if the msm even mentions it unless they are forced to talk about it. Fox did a news story on it tonight on the Britt Hume hour.

Here's what I'm surprised at.
Reply
I'm surprised how little my fellow Christian Conservatives understand the labels they throw around.
For instance .... the current President ... the one y'all voted for ... is the closest thing to pure Socialist in our generation. MUCH more than Clinton ever was ... and more likely more than Obama.
Think I'm kidding?
Look at what has just happened.
GW came out of the White House a couple weeks ago to say that the Governement has to BAIL OUT Wall Street because 'Wall Street was taking losses'. (This was three weeks after telling the nation the economic fundamentals were strong)
It soon became apparent that the bill GeeDub was agitating for was a MASSIVE bailout ... with NO ACCOUNTABILITY and NO OVERSIGHT ... and no way for our nation to recoup this investment (bailout).
See?
That's called S O C I A L I S M.
Get it?
But what my fellow Christian Conservatives refuse to acknowlege is that this President has a long history of favoring SOCIALISM over Private Enterprise.
As you may remember, I've been giving the example about how GW got the City of Arlington to RAISE TAXES to build HIM and his PARTNERS ... THEIR baseball stadium.
That's pure Socialism.
Except ... in a perverse twist that only the most cynical business person could enjoy ... once the CITY built the stadium ... these business partners would OWN the stadium ... which they promptly sold after a short period of time.
That's where GW got his first money. ..
There are other examples from GeeDub as well.
For instance ... needing land to build this pean to Socialism ... GW used EMINENT DOMAIN to STEAL 200 acres from good, middle class citizens.
Some of them fought him in court ... specifically the Curtis Mathes family. But hey ... it's difficult to stand in the way of the Modern Republican version of Socialism.
See?
I mean ... I don't want to spoil your fun.
I realize it's a time honored ploy to call Democrats Socialists ... but considering the way the Republican Party has changed so dramatically the past few decades ... you might want to chill the smug stridency of these claims.
-----------------------------------
Now ... I don't want to claim ALL Christian Conservatives are Socialists ... but all Conservatives are just a couple of steps away from Socialists.
And the louder they scream that 'those other guys are the Socialsists ... the surer you can be that they are covering for their own perversions of Capitalism.
More Bailouts anyone?

Why would you say that Pinky?

Lot's of stories with a negative slant are on the Front Page of Propeller every day!
Why just yesterday ... there was a story that my fellow Christian Conservatives were VERY excited to get out to the public.
It was about how Barack Obama's plane smelled ... or so some blogger said.
You know ... I realize that claiming that the world is against the Right Wing point of view does more harm to the Right Wing than anything.
First of all ... it makes y'all look like you are even bigger whiners than you are. And THAT'S A LOT OF WHININ!
Believe me, this mantra of Liberal Bias everywhere is demeaning to yourselves. Plus, it makes you look hopelessly stupid to normal Americans.

The irony of Obama and the New Party association
Is Barack Obama a socialist? That seems to be the question after the discovery of documentation showing Obama’s endorsement by Chicago’s New Party, a group that intended to provide cover for socialists seeking public office in Illinois.-

We really don't need this formal association -- if that's what it is to determine whether Obama is primarily capitalistic or primarily socialistic. All we need do is listen to the plans that come out of his mouth.
Reply
His definition of a tax cut for everyone is to tax those he deems to make "more than enough" and give it directly to those who don't make enough. If this is not wealth distribution, I don't know what is.
He wants to expand gov't into nearly every facet of our lives -- including those few that have somehow managed to slip below the radar. When pressed as to what he would cut from his proposals given the dire condition of the economy, he could only name the new programs he couldn't POSSIBLY cut.
Obama = bigger gov't. (Than even Bush) -

We also know that John McCain is an adulterer.
Reply
We also know that he abandoned his children.
If you are a Christian ... and you are considering voting for McCain ... you might as well say ... 'my religious values are meaningless to me ... I'll support any adulterer ... anyone who abandons their children ... anyone who promotes endless warfare ... anyone who denies children Health Care ... ... ... anyone who doesn't support our soldiers by voting to cut the GI BILL."
His erratic behavior has been with him his entire life. He sort of refers to it when he calls himself a 'Maverick'.
He's unpredicable.
Just look at the whacko he selected to be his Vice President.

You know ... I wonder why Mainstream Media hasn't done a story about the charges ... made by many fellow Christian Conservatives on Propeller ... that McCain collaborated with the enemy while he was a prisoner?
Reply
I mean ... in February .. March ... Propeller was filled with Righties calling John McCain a traitor ... even going into detail that John Stockdale had to discipline McCain's fellow prisoners from retaliating against McCain for his treachery.
I know many Conservatives agree with this story because whenever someone posted this comment ... all the Righties gave the comment 'Positives' ... (back then, you could see who voted Pos or Neg)
I guess Mainstream Media isn't as biased as my fellow Christian Conservatives claim ... of course ... we all know that they only say that as a ploy to get extra special consideration from media ... you know ... like CHEATING.

Along with being a theiving conartist as was provedin the Keating Scandal, John McCain has an Iran-Contra connection. In the 1980s, McCain served on the advisory board to the U.S. chapter of an international group linked to ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America.
Reply
The U.S. Council for World Freedom aided rebels trying to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua. That landed the group in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair and in legal trouble with the Internal Revenue Service, which revoked the charitable organization's tax exemption.
The council created by retired Army Maj. Gen. John Singlaub was the U.S. chapter of the World Anti-Communist League, an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. After setting up the U.S. council, Singlaub served as the international league's chairman.
McCain's tie to Singlaub's council is undergoing renewed scrutiny after his campaign criticized Obama for his link to Ayers, a former radical who engaged in violent acts 40 years ago. Over the weekend, Democratic operative Paul Begala said on ABC's "This Week" that this "guilt by association" tactic could backfire on the McCain campaign by renewing discussion of McCain's service on the board of the U.S. Council for World Freedom, "an ultraconservative right-wing group."
So, he drops indentiary bombs on vietnamese children, and calls himself a war hero, then sponsors death squads in Latin america. Warmongering murderer McCain, and his side kick, the evangelical creationist moron.-

Keating. Again and again, you lie. You cannot go out on to the internet and post one single substantive shred of evidence that shows wrongdoing by McCain in the Keating investigation.
Iran-Contra. Wrong thing to do in achieving exactly the result needed: freedom for the people of Central America from the leftist powermongering terrorists under Ortega. Cry me a damn river. The next time US officials have to blindside the lefties in Congress in the support of freedom, you can cry me a river then, too.
Viet Nam. The VC and NVA routinely shelled kindergartens, schools, and hospitals. In the year after the downfall of South Vietnam, more Vietnamese were killed than in the entire 10 years of the war.

anti - what does this have to do with Obama's political leanings?? Your comments are an effort for us to disprove your obviously disproven statements.
Reply
That would be a total waste of time, when what we need from you positive statements grounded in fact, about Obama.
Obviously you can't come up with reasons why he would be a good president because of his memberships and friends.
Instead of telling us what is wrong with republicans, tell us why we SHOULD vote for Obama. -

Let's give Bush credit where credit is due. For the first time since Vietnam, liberals give a rat's butt--or claim to--about the US soldier.

McCain wins the election of 2008;

And if you like, we can backdate it to 1996; or 1887 if you prefer.

We can make it sort of yellow with age; and post it in a collection of 'archived' postings, and give it links to other postings.
Granted, it would be a lie , - but I don't think that is going to bother anyone here.
And you could Google it, and slip into your fantasy world completely, and give the real world a rest from your malice.-

Dean, Obama and the Party of European Socialists
Reply
In fact, Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) reported August 20, 2008, that the Party of European Socialists (PES) “has given its blessing” to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).
On June 15, 2008, Mark Leftly of the UK’s The Independent wrote that former Danish premier Rasmussen was
… in talks with aides to the US presidential nominee Barack Obama about the regulation of private equity firms and hedge funds.
The names of Obama’s aides are not mentioned in this or the following report from EMII, which added June 18, 2008
In addition to contacting Obama’s people, [Rasmussen] has also contacted, Barney Frank, the chairman of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, and former World Bank Chief Economist Joseph Stiglitz.
IBD reported in August 2008 that Rasmussen said
Obama is the choice for change and renewal. He gives hope to millions of Americans and Europeans for a fairer world. … Progressive Europeans are united in hope that Barack Obama will be the new president following the U.S. elections.
The PES September 1, 2008, press release also stated
PES Secretary General Philip Cordery said “The European socialists and social-democrats support Barack Obama for President. His ‘Plan for America’ is a progressive agenda which we believe would bring many benefits to the American people and to the world.”

but be fair.
This is a link to a far-right web page, where the writer gives us quotes from an 'archived' web page, - supposedly from 1997,
written by unnamed people supposedly linked to socialists, who supposedly are listing Obama, correctly or not as a member of their party,
- though Obama ran as a Democrat for his state senate seat.
In other words, the point of this story is the accumulation of hot air designed to trick us into spending a lot of time, denying that Obama is a Socialist.
This whole thread is an attempt to derail the topics that deserve to be discussed.-

Goppy is correct. This freaking Wall Street Bailout and the Kitchen Sink bill IS closely akin to Socialism. It's wrong, and that's probably why the MAJORITY of citizens opposed it. Congress went ahead and did it anyone. I have already advised my reps (Dems and Repubs alike) that as far as I am concerned, they are FIRED come November 4. BUT - I'm confident that anyone who thinks Barry Obama would be an IMPROVEMENT is horribly mistaken. And I'm not so sure about John McCain either. Seriously, we NEED to start voting in independents. A lot of them.
