When and where did you ever see those endorsements prominently displayed on RonPaul2008.com, cool Black Panther and all?

Al Sharpton interviewed in 2007 on whether he is tired of hearing about Tawana Brawley twenty years later.

On November 28, 1987, Tawana Brawley, a 15-year-old black girl, was found smeared with feces, lying in a garbage bag, her clothing torn and burned and with various slurs and epithets written on her body in charcoal. Brawley claimed she had been assaulted and raped by six white men, some of them police officers, in the village of Wappingers Falls, New York.

Attorneys Alton H. Maddox and C. Vernon Mason joined Sharpton in support of Brawley. A grand jury was convened; after seven months of examining police and medical records, the jury determined that Brawley had fabricated her story.

Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of racism and of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape. The three were successfully sued for slander and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages, the jury finding Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two, and Mason for one.[30]

You left out the young lady also said the prosecutor had "his way" with her also.

And RP was an America First constitutionalists supported by countless decent folks. It's just become too large a task bucking the National Party.

I can see ghost busily fanning thru his dictionary looking for fitting demeaning words. I hope he does not take us seriously?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

If David Duke endorsed a candidate, that candidate's campaign would be over and it would be all over the media.

Looking around the MSM, it appears they are starting to attach tin cans to Obamas tail.

First it was the nice preacher man, then black Panthers, now Honest Al Sharpton.

Any more added tin cans and Obama will have to cut off his tail to stop the carnage, or he could take a dive????????????????????

Can you imagine a candidate of fair skin putting up a Klan endorsement on their official website.

I predict that we should all immediately screensave that page on O's Official website with the "New Black Panther Party" endorsement and logo.

If that happened, our friends here on 4um that see Obama as the savior would take up arms and march on Washington.

This by that lackey Dick Morris, doing his best to paint Obama as the worlds savior. He stretches the BS thin but he does cover all options. Morris tries mightily to justify Obamas actions.

" Wright's rantings are not reflective of Obama's views on anything. Why did he stay in the church? Because he's a black Chicago politician who comes from a mixed marriage and went to Columbia and Harvard. Suspected of not being black enough or sufficiently tied to the minority community, he needed the networking opportunities Wright afforded him in his church to get elected. If he had not risen to the top of Chicago black politics, we would never have heard of him. But obviously, he can't say that. So what should he say?"

It simply isn't a good thing that Lord Obama is endorsed by the Black Panthers and uses Big Al as a mentor.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡

I look for Obama to take a dive as the natives are restless and want this thing over with so they make take on McKook. Clinton has offered the number two spot, he better take it now.

I agree, your self esteem at times must be low but I take that into consideration.

If you were to put your best pals here on bozo, we would have no one to joust with. I would never dream of bozoing anyone, not even Ari and he bugs me all the time.

Barack Obama is going to be here in Eugene on Friday at the University of Oregon. I plan on going to listen to what he has to say. Eugene is a very very liberal city. I saw Bill Clinton at the same venue just before he became POTUS and he was treated like a Hollywood star here.

I expect it to be an over flowing crowd. He is winning the lawn sign battle locally, and the mindset of Eugene does not look fondly at dynasties. I expect him to trounce Hilary in the Oregon primary. He'll take Lane County where I live by a two digit margin.

I worked on Jesse Jackson's campaign here when he ran in the primary. Eugene is a diversity friendly city. I can't think of any group that is not protected from job and housing discrimination here in Eugene. Barack Obama does not have to worry about who wins this state.

Old people I know still gush about John Kennedy's 1960 primary visit here. And he has hit the same nerve JFK did visiting here, no question about that. There is a statue of Wayne Lyman Morse here too, with a federal building of the same name, the man known as the tiger of the Senate who voted against the Gulf of Tonkin resolution.

The peace march here this last week was large this community pays undying close attention of who voted on what, and who supported or facilitated what.

Ron Paul was the favorite of many I know here pure and simply because of his war stance; to hell with worrying about anything else he supported they disagreed with.

The same crowd discusses and worries about Obama's commitment to end the insanity of this illegal and immoral war. However he voted the right way not to authorize it, Hillary the wrong way.

She has no wiggle room to win this crowd over. She is toast here from the start simply on the war issue alone.

Do you agree with Ron Paul that Obama is a fraud, that he has voted to fund the wars, and that he will expand the wars?

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡

Make no mistake about it — I think Obama would make an AWESOME President —

A little Kool-Aid makes the poison tasteless. Some people just make me shake my head.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡

If he doesn't disavow this group quickly he's making a big mistake. It's already late .... should have been rejected immediately.Why not? He'd lose any substantial number of black voters? Is Obama between a rock and hard place already? Did the RP campaign idiots move over to his team? He's got to nip these things in the bud or he'll be on the defensive 24-7 from now to whenever.

It'll be the hottest topic in PA bars tomorrow if it isn't already. It's probably flying through the E-mail world as we discuss it. The way to put out a fire is before it gets out of control.

No one seems to want to answer that question. If Ron Paul is a man of honesty and integrity, and John McCain once called Paul "The most honest man in Congress," I see no reason to disbelieve what Paul says about Obama.

Well, I have never considered bozoing anyone. There is not a soul on here that does not from time to time add something that I do not know.

Just because I do not agree with contents of a book, I do not throw it away. The author was trying to tell me something and just perhaps I missed it.

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡

nevermind! it was the crickets that didn't wrap. sorry, _______, i had to delete your cricket jpgs so i could read the thread.

He's blowing the dust off his law books in hopes of salvaging Obama's rapidly declining reputation.

New Black Panther Party Supports Obama; More on the UCC Issue

NBPP = “A mix of black nationalism, Pan-Africanism and racist and anti-Semitic bigotry.”

by Bill Levinson

Noting that this page has acquired 396 points (presumably from activities with Obama ‘08 or ratings from other participants), it is difficult to believe that Obama’s staff is not aware of this page. Furthermore, there is a link for reporting the profile to the administrator. We presume that it has been used but, as with our numerous complaints about Obama’s promotion and endorsement of Al Sharpton, the reports have probably been brushed off or ignored. Obama’s acceptance of the New Black Panther Party’s support would be entirely consistent with his reluctance to “reject” Louis Farrakhan’s endorsement, and his actual endorsement of Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. The latter shares a common language with the New Black Panther Party, since both are familiar with the phrase “bloodsucking Jews” and other forms of racist and anti-Semitic hate speech.

Anti-Defamation League page on the New Black Panther Party:

Founder: Aaron Michaels
Leader: Malik Zulu Shabazz
Headquarters: Washington, D.C.
Founded: 1990
Ideology: A mix of black nationalism, Pan-Africanism and racist and anti-Semitic bigotry
Influences: Original Black Panthers, Black Panther Militia, Nation of Islam

[Khallid Abdul] Muhammad’s rise through the group’s hierarchy was abruptly halted in November 1993, after he delivered a notoriously anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, homophobic and racist speech at New Jersey’s Kean College. In his remarks, Muhammad referred to Jews as “bloodsuckers,” called for genocide against whites, vulgarly ridiculed Pope John Paul II and demeaned homosexuals. The speech attracted significant media attention, and Muhammad was condemned by a wide range of religious and political leaders - including the U.S. Congress, which issued a condemnation in 1994 that decried the speech as “outrageous hatemongering of the most vicious and vile kind.” Farrakhan responded to the controversy by removing Muhammad from the group’s leadership, although the NOI leader noted that he faulted only the form, not “the truth,” of Muhammad’s remarks.

Update on the IRS investigation of Obama’s church
We will say up front that we have very little use for the United Church of Christ (UCC) and especially the Trinity United Church of Christ, of which Barack Hussein Obama is a member. The UCC is associated with the unsavory Sabeel Ecuminical Liberation Theology Center and Naim Ateek, who both refer to the establishment of Israel as the Nakba (”Catastrophe”). To this may be added the racism of TUCC, whose pastor, Jeremiah Wright, says that “white America” got a “wake up call” on 9/11.

ADL Troubled by United Church of Christ’s Embrace of Radicalized Palestinian Christian Group

New York, NY, January 10, 2006 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is troubled by the United Church of Christ’s continuing partnership with the Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, a radicalized Palestinian Christian group whose leaders have openly questioned Israel’s right to exist.

Now that the United Church of Christ is under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service for allegedly allowing Barack Obama to misuse its tax exempt resources to promote his campaign, we could easily indulge in some Schadenfreude, or vicarious enjoyment of an adversary’s troubles. On the other hand, common justice and decency requires us to determine whether our adversary really deserves to be in trouble for something it might not have done. While prosecution for something he didn’t do might be Karmic justice for someone like Mike Nifong, the disgraced and disbarred prosecutor who allegedly withheld exculpatory evidence in the Duke Lacrosse rape case, UCC’s current troubles with the Internal Revenue Service are totally unrelated to its relationship with Sabeel. If people walked away from UCC in disgust over this relationship, the punishment would indeed fit the offense, but jeopardization of UCC’s tax exempt status by Barack Obama’s alleged abuse of the church’s trust would not.

Our question is whether the UCC willfully or even carelessly used its tax exempt resources (in this case its annual meeting, which was held at the Hartford Civic Center) to promote a political figure’s candidacy. Doing so is cause for revocation of the organization’s tax exemption. ”IRS Investigation: A Test Of Church’s Faith?” by UCC minister Davida Foy Crabtree asserts, however, that the church made reasonable efforts to obey the rules. This suggests that the blame lies elsewhere.

Reverend Crabtree asserts,

Our purpose in inviting Sen. Obama in the spring of 2006 — long before he was a candidate for the presidency — was to ask him to address the connection between his Christian faith and his public service, to speak to us of the challenges for people of faith in the public square today. And he did so with eloquence. As a prominent member of our church, his was a natural invitation, just as the others were. To avoid any hint of endorsement or promotion, our national officers and our denominational attorney established clear understandings with Sen. Obama’s office in Washington. He readily agreed to all of them. We made it clear not only to his campaign staff but also to our own synod delegates and visitors that no advocacy or promotion of his candidacy would be permitted

This shows that:

The United Church of Christ was aware of its obligations as a tax exempt organization.
The United Church of Christ communicated these rules to Senator Obama’s office.
Barack Obama and his staff said that they understood that “no advocacy or promotion of his candidacy would be permitted,” and that they agreed to follow these rules.

The Internal Revenue Service alleges, however, that “Our concerns are based on articles posted on several websites, including the church’s, which state that United States Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama addressed nearly 10,000 church members gathered at the United Church of Christ’s General Synod at the Hartford Civic Center on June 23, 2007. In addition, 40 Obama volunteers staffed campaign tables outside the center to promote his campaign.” Even worse, however, is Obama’s speech, “A Politics of Conscience.”

Note the key word “written” in the title. In other words, Obama did not forget the rules to which he agreed while he spoke spontaneously or off the cuff. He wrote his speech in advance, and therefore had plenty of time to reflect on how a phrase like “I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president” would contravene the promise that “no advocacy or promotion of his candidacy would be permitted.”

A Politics of Conscience
Written by Senator Barack Obama
June 23, 2007
It’s great to be here. I’ve been speaking to a lot of churches recently, so it’s nice to be speaking to one that’s so familiar. I understand you switched venues at considerable expense and inconvenience because of unfair labor practices at the place you were going to be having this synod. Clearly, the past 50 years have not weakened your resolve as faithful witnesses of the gospel. And I’m glad to see that.
It’s been several months now since I announced I was running for president. In that time, I’ve had the chance to talk with Americans all across this country. And I’ve found that no matter where I am, or who I’m talking to, there’s a common theme that emerges. It’s that folks are hungry for change – they’re hungry for something new. They’re ready to turn the page on the old politics and the old policies – whether it’s the war in Iraq or the health care crisis we’re in, or a school system that’s leaving too many kids behind despite the slogans.

Our conscience can’t rest so long as 37 million Americans are poor and forgotten by their leaders in Washington and by the media elites. We need to heed the biblical call to care for “the least of these” and lift the poor out of despair. That’s why I’ve been fighting to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit and the minimum wage. If you’re working forty hours a week, you shouldn’t be living in poverty. But we also know that government initiatives are not enough. Each of us in our own lives needs to do what we can to help the poor. And until we do, our conscience cannot rest.
Our conscience cannot rest so long as nearly 45 million Americans don’t have health insurance and the millions more who do are going bankrupt trying to pay for it. I have made a solemn pledge that I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premiums by up to $2500 a year. That’s not simply a matter of policy or ideology – it’s a moral commitment.
…But we also know our conscience cannot rest so long as the war goes on in Iraq. It’s a war I’m proud I opposed from the start – a war that should never have been authorized and never been waged. I have a plan that would have already begun redeploying our troops with the goal of bringing all our combat brigades home by March 31st of next year. The President vetoed a similar plan, but he doesn’t have the last word, and we’re going to keep at it, until we bring this war to an end. Because the Iraq war is not just a security problem, it’s a moral problem.

And there’s another issue we must confront as well. Today there are 12 million undocumented immigrants in America, most of them working in our communities, attending our churches, and contributing to our country. Now, as children of God, we believe in the worth and dignity of every human being; it doesn’t matter where that person came from or what documents they have. We believe that everyone, everywhere should be loved, and given the chance to work, and raise a family. But as Americans, we also know that this is a nation of laws, and we cannot have those laws broken when more than 2,000 people cross our borders illegally every day. We cannot ignore that we have a right and a duty to protect our borders. And we cannot ignore the very real concerns of Americans who are not worried about illegal immigration because they are racist or xenophobic, but because they fear it will result in lower wages when they’re already struggling to raise their families. And so this will be a difficult debate next week. Consensus and compromise will not come easy. Last time we took up immigration reform, it failed. But we cannot walk away this time. Our conscience cannot rest until we not only secure our borders, but give the 12 million undocumented immigrants in this country a chance to earn their citizenship by paying a fine and waiting in line behind all those who came here legally.
We will all have to make concessions to achieve this. That’s what compromise is about. But at the end of the day, we cannot walk away – not for the sake of passing a bill, but so that we can finally address the real concerns of Americans and the persistent hopes of all those brothers and sisters who want nothing more than their own chance at our common dream.

When we place this excerpt from Obama’s pre-written speech side by side with Reverend Crabtree’s statement, we must come to the following conclusion: Barack Obama knew in advance that his speech would violate the rules to which he had agreed, but he chose to do it anyway.
