From NO QUARTER:
I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about "whitey" describe it as "STUNNING." I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright's Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks. Whoops!! When that image comes out it will enter the politcal ads hall of fame. It will be right up there with the little girl plucking daisy petals in the famous 1964 ad LBJ used against Barry Goldwater.
Barack may have quit his church but his religious problems are not over. Barack Obama has a Nation of Islam problem that will receive more attention in the coming days. Before Barack came on the scene, THE MAN in his political district was Louis Farrakhan. No one could take Alice Palmer's seat without Farrakhan's blessing. No one. I do not fault Barack Obama for seeking out the blessing of Farrakhan, but the story of what was done behind the scenes to get rid of Barack's predecessor--Alice Palmer--has not been told. A knowledgeable source tells me that Tony Rezko played a direct role in this feat. And Rezko has been tight with Farrakhan.
It also should come as no surprise that Barack hired two members of the Nation of Islam to work on his staff--Jennifer Mason and Cynthia K. Miller. (And no, I am not merely recycling info initially reported by Debbie Schlussel. I have two independent Chicago sources for this info.) If Jeremiah Wright and Michael Pfleger had kept their yaps buttoned none of this would mean much. But the fact that both men have been--until scrubbed from the website in recent weeks--listed as spiritual advisors to Barack Obama and also are very close to Louis Farrakhan, forces the question about Barack's faith and beliefs.
In probing those matters we begin to understand that the Nation of Islam has been a critical component of Barack Obama's base of support. And, I am told, Louis Farrakhan has been careful to use Tony Rezko as the intermediary in his relationship with Barack. This is not guilt by association, this is guilt because of actual relationship. Farrakhan, Wright, and Pfleger are each on tape in various settings spewing the most vile racists garbage in the guise of preaching. Barack Obama, up to this point, has tried to pretend he had no idea that these men had these thoughts or said these things.
NONSENSE!! He knew and he knows. And the gig will be up when the Michelle tape hits the airwaves. One source described how this tape was acquired. Let's just say that one of the republican candidates who is no longer in the race, but had a dandy oppo research capability, uncovered this gem. If Republican poohbahs have their way the tape will remain on ice until October. But when it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam. That's not a winning platform in November. And Barack's bundlers understand this threat. I also have learned some major financial backers are asking the Barack team about the tape and are being stonewalled. It is a wild card in the political campaign that has not yet played out.

As much as I dearly want to see this arrogant Marxist Obama get his comeuppance, I fear that Hilary might be more electable and she could be in power for 8 years. On the other side of the coin, as Obama is unelectable, so McCain would win, and McCain is a Liberal who will bring the Republican party further to the Left, leaving nowhere for Conservatives to go; Its all too horrible.
But I have to admit to enjoying the almost weekly squirming and contorted explanations about his parade of undesirable associates. Does this awful man have any loyal and patriotic friends?
Decatur,
You and I are of similar confusion when it comes to this election.
Dump the church, next it will be the old-lady. Obama has two speeds: retreat and retreat faster. He might as well be French.
We are stuck between the original rock and the hard place for sure. Both Obama and Clinton are dangerous for America. To my, Obama with his overt NOI, black liberation, communist and Islam-friendly ties, the power of the presidency, a Dem Congress, and a leftard following slavering (no pun intended) for that kind of power is the terrifying loose cannon of the two. But if nominated he might be unelectable. Hillary is the nightmare of Carter and Clinton combined and laced with her own poison, but she's veiewed as a politician, not as the Messiah, and she might refrain from brazenly selling us out to the enemy if she thought it would hurt her chances for a second term. But if she's nominated there's a good chance she'll win.
And if they both end up on the ticket? Does that make them unbeatable or are there still enough grenades in BHO's pocket that haven't gone off yet and which could take them both down?
Obama with his overt NOI, black liberation, communist and Islam-friendly ties = Past/present Jimmy Carter! Wow! And I thought George Bush was scary!
