Obama, Bill Ayers, and FactCheck.Org: All Have Ties To Annenberg Foundation




How many people are aware that Senator Obama has ties to Factcheck.org, the ?non-partisan? political ?fact checking? site, vis-a-vis the Annenberg Foundation? Or that the controversies surrounding Obama, such as his ties to Bill Ayers, a former member of the violent Vietnam War era Weather Underground terrorist group, and the veracity of Obama?s ?birth certificate? are both linked to Factcheck and Annenberg. There?s also news about the ongoing federal lawsuit involving Obama?s birth certificate: how a U.S District Judge has thrown out Obama?s attorney?s Motion to Dismiss and ordered them to ?pony up? the certificate ?post haste?.



FactCheck.org ? Annenberg Political Fact CheckMonitors the factual accuracy of what is said by major US political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews, and news releases.

We Already Won That One

clippers remarks: Can we really afford to vote into office people with this kind of mentality?


On July 15, I attended a reception in Washington DC to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the normalization of relations between the United States and Vietnam. Geoff Millard and I spoke to Sen. John McCain. When Geoff introduced himself as chairman of the board of Iraq Veterans against the War, McCain retorted, ?You?re too late. We already won that one.?

I wonder how McCain defines "victory" in Iraq. The U.S. mission there has never been clear since the invasion in 2003. First the search for weapons of mass destruction proved fruitless. Then it became evident there was no link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. Finally we were told the U.S. invaded Iraq to accomplish regime change and bring democracy to the Iraqi people. But if democracy is the goal, there has been no victory.

John McCain should examine the actual state of affairs in Iraq. If he does, he might stop declaring victory.

clippers remarks: WTC Mosque: Top 8 Politically Insane Land Proposals

8. ?Kamikazi,? a Japanese sushi restaurant at Pearl Harbor. Chop sticks optional.

7. A German cultural center at Auschwitz. Live music every Saturday night.

6. Santa Anna Solidarity Museum (formerly ?The Alamo?). Guests can stay at Pancho?s Villa.

5. Ronald W. Reagan History Month at the Kremlin. On display are pieces of the Berlin Wall, Reagan?s signed copy of the IFT Treaty and a football from the film ?Knute Rockne: All American.? Admission includes a traveling exhibit with Lech Walesa?s Nobel Peace Prize.

4. The Ho Chi Minh Unity Wall (formerly known as the Vietnam Memorial) in tie-dyed colors for flower power fans. In memoriam.

3. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) headquarters at Chappaquidick. (Not so insane.)

2. Godefroy de Bouillon Monument at Mecca. Lady Gaga, in burka, performs.

1. Coming soon ? Osama?s "Victory" Mosque at Ground Zero. Suicide bombers welcome.

If you have
The mosque/Islamic community center was originally named Cordoba House, after the Spanish city conquered by Muslim invaders

Pamela Geller, who is among those leading the charge against the proposed site, has called the center a ?victory? mosque

bin ladin

In other words, if you take a hypothetical to its extreme, you can determine whether your reaction is logical or not, whether or not you are a hypocrite or if your opposition is

If nothing is sacred, then for every now "sacred" site, we should reconsider the commercial and social possibilities for the existing land.

mc

Consequently, would President Obama and Bloomberg back a Starbucks at Giza? A Burger King at the Wailing Wall? A German cultural center at Auschwitz? How far does their own brand of politically motivated ?tolerance?  go?

Why do the feelings of the Muslim community trump the needs of the collective American psyche concerning the most dastardly attack on U.S. soil in our nations history?

Who is expendable in this debate

Chris Hedges discussing Howard Zinn

clipped by: prophetbob
clippers remarks: Interesting read from one of my favorite authors about a man I greatly respect. Howard Zinn left us valuable tools in the form of books on American history. He was a professor and social activist dating back to the Vietnam era, and also was a veteran of WWII speaking from firsthand experience of war.

Why the Feds Fear Thinkers Like Howard Zinn

Zinn, who died in January at the age of 87, did not advocate violence or support the overthrow of the government, something he told FBI interrogators on several occasions. He was rather an example of how genuine intellectual thought is always subversive. It always challenges prevailing assumptions as well as political and economic structures. It is based on a fierce moral autonomy and personal courage and it is uniformly branded by the power elite as ?political.? Zinn was a threat not because he was a violent revolutionary or a communist but because he was fearless and told the truth.

?Mass murders occur, which is what war is,? Zinn, who was a bombardier in World War II, said in 1972, according to the file, ?because people are split and don?t think ? when the government does not serve the people, then it doesn?t deserve to be obeyed. ? To be patriotic, you may have to be against your government.?
