...going on further to work for great philanthropic anti-poverty groups to HELP people, and becoming a distinguished professor and U of Illinois means NOTHING.


Oh and here's the great philanthropist and distinguished professor showoing his hatred for Amerikkka:

The link implies that you think people who stand on flags should be shot dead. How is that not the same kind of hatred shown in the original video?

Obama-ACORN, Tony Rezko, the birth certificate lawsuit, Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright.


Not everyone agrees that these are scandals...and I especially think the birth certificate lawsuit is a joke.

Thanks for the bible lesson. However, be aware that I may have interpreted that in an entirely different way than you intended.


But, you missed my point completely. I find it shocking and sad whenever ANYONE feels the need to denigrate anyone else in such a callous and public manner.


Just because we have the right to freedom of speech doesn't mean we always have to use it.

Maybe he downplays his experience in education reform because education issues are usually considered a cornerstone of a liberal agenda. "Liberal" is a dirty word for many, many people.

On the other hand, at least this post goes beyond the nebulous "what is he hiding" and actually states what other connections they believe might be between the two. Some of it seems like a stretch, but at least it goes beyond the "spooky" vagueness that we usually see about this relationship.

"It is highly unlikely that a 30-something second year lawyer would have been plucked from relative obscurity out of a left wing law firm to head up something as visible and important in Chicago as the Annenberg Challenge by Bill Ayers if Ayers had not a lready known Obama very well."

The other board members and people involved with the Annenberg challenge tell otherwise.

from factcheck.org "Kurtz originally claimed that Ayers somehow was responsible for installing Obama as head of the board, speculating in his "cover-up" article that Obama "almost certainly received the job at the behest of Bill Ayers." But after days of poring over the records, he failed to produce any evidence of that in his Wall Street Journal article. To the contrary, Ayers was not involved in the choice, according to Deborah Leff, then president of the Joyce Foundation. She told the Times, and confirmed to FactCheck.org, that she recommended Obama for the position to Patricia Graham of the Spencer Foundation. Graham told us that she asked Obama if he'd become chairman; he accepted, provided Graham would be vice-chair."

I'm also tired of hearing what a "radical" organization this was, funding "radical" schools. Remember that the head of Annenberg supports McCain for president.

"Education Week (Oct. 8): The context for the Chicago proposal to the Annenberg Foundation was the 1988 decentralization of the city’s public schools by the Republican-controlled Illinois legislature, a response to frustration over years of teachers’ strikes, low achievement, and bureaucratic failure. ... The proposal was backed by letters of support to the Annenberg Foundation from Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican, local education school deans, the superintendent of the Chicago public schools, and the heads of local foundations."

It takes a really... special... person to take years of service to improve low-income inner city schools and turn it into a "radical organization" that created schools to "brainwash" students in a radical/liberal way of thinking" (things I have seen posted on this board numerous times over the last few weeks by various posters)

I agree with those who said that Jesus would not condone any such behavior.

Rezko did not 'build' Obama a house. Obama bought a house that was being sold - it was an older home. Rezko did donate money to Obama's campaign - I don't think it wasa $250,000 though and I was under the impression that the money had either been donated to charity ro returned which is the usual course when inappropriate donations are made.
