on Tue 16 Sep 2008 07:00 PM EDT
M. Simon traces the funds Fannie Mae pumped into vote fraud specialists ACORN, and explains how that organization pressed for the grant of mortgages to unqualified buyers, leading to the subprime mortgage mess and Fannie Mae collapse. He also links the organization to Chicago politician and ''post-partisan'' nominee for President, Barack Obama: ACORN is a former legal client of Senator Obama's, as the Sun-Times reported in 2006 More>>> The ACORN Obama Knows - Spreading socialism on the taxpayers' dime More>>>
Media Abet Communist Cover-Up
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 16 Sep 2008 05:19 PM EDT
In a surprising admission, Barack Obama’s 40-page so-called “rebuttal” to Jerome Corsi’s book, The Obama Nation, acknowledges for the first time that the senator once had a personal relationship with identified Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis, a key high-level operative in a Soviet-sponsored network in Hawaii. But the 40-page report, advertised and sold to the media as a refutation of Corsi’s “lies,” doesn’t identify Davis as a hard-core communist and it dishonestly edits an article about Davis to eliminate references to his admitted involvement in CPUSA activities and make the black revolutionary writer and “poet” look like a civil rights activist.

Obama's 'Dogs of War'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 16 Sep 2008 02:56 PM EDT
By now, the Obama's campaign to silence critics is blatant. There is a certain hypocrisy at work as well: Barack Obama campaigned on the need for transparency. Yet this constitutional law lecturer seems determined to chill the exercise of free speech...The Obama campaign has developed a habit of hazing WGN, the Illinois radio station owned by the Chicago Tribune. Its offense is apparently committing free speech, since it has offered a platform for critics of Barack Obama. More>>>
Mad Libs

The liberal media are angry. Very, very angry. How do we know? Howard Kurtz, the Washington Post's chronicler of all things media, says so: The media are getting mad. Whether it's the latest back-and-forth over attack ads, the silly lipstick flap or the continuing debate over Sarah and sexism, you can just feel the tension level rising several notches. Maybe it's a sense that this is crunch time, that the election is on the line, that the press is being manipulated (not that there's anything new about that). Of course, politicians are always trying to manipulate the media. And the liberal media are always allowing themselves to be manipulated by liberal politicians. So why the foot-stamping snit by liberal journalists? Not because "the press is being manipulated." Rather, because the American people are resisting manipulation by the media. More>>>

Politics and the Fannie Mae Piggy Bank
by

The impending federal bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has shed light not only on the seriousness of current housing market conditions but also on the mismanagement and corruption that helped cripple the mortgage giants. Although political figures from both parties have profited mightily from Fannie Mae, it has been a particular favorite of former officials of Democratic administrations, as NR’s Byron York found out when he looked into the situation in the summer of 2006 On May 23, 2006, as a jury in Houston deliberated the case against top Enron executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling, a little-known regulatory agency in Washington, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), released a study with the dryly bureaucratic title “Report of the Special Examination of Fannie Mae.” The document received far less attention than the news from Enron, but its conclusions were stunning. In meticulous detail, it outlined a culture of corruption at the Federal National Mortgage Association — better known as Fannie Mae — that rivals the most serious corporate scandals in recent years. In this case, however, the main players are Washington insiders — some of them prominent veterans of the Clinton administration — and the scandal’s effects could ripple through Congress for years. More>>> For its first 30 years of life, Fannie Mae actually was owned by the government. In those quiet early years, Fannie (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association) borrowed at very low rates, typically an eighth of a point above the U.S. Treasury itself, then loaned the money to banks for middle-class mortgages. In 1968, the Johnson administration decided to privatize Fannie — not for any free-market reason, but because the federal government’s debt was rising fast, and the administration realized it could make the government’s accounts look better by moving Fannie Mae’s obligations off the books. The administration then created a second company to provide competition to Fannie. Thus was born Freddie Mac, the Federal Home Loan and Mortgage Loan Corporation. (It owes its nickname to its ticker initials FRE.) Today the two companies together are responsible for some US$5-trillion of mortgage debt. To put that in perspective, that’s more than half the entire U.S. federal debt. More>>>
Obama blames Wall St. crisis on Republican policy
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Tue 16 Sep 2008 02:04 PM EDT
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Monday the upheaval on Wall Street was "the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression" and blamed it on policies that he said Republican rival John McCain supports. "This country can't afford another four years of this failed philosophy," Obama said after the shock-wave announcements that financial giant Lehman Brothers was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy while titan Merrill Lynch was being bought by Bank of America for about $50 billion. What the country can't afford, Senator, is trillions of dollars of new social spending that you and your fellow marxists would foist upon we the people. -Roland More>>>

Chicago radio station WGN-AM is again coming under attack from the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama for offering airtime to a controversial author. It is the second time in recent weeks the station has been the target of an "Obama Action Wire" alert to supporters of the Illinois Democrat.
Monday night's target was David Freddoso, who the campaign said was scheduled to be on the station from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Chicago time. More>>>

Fatimah Ali: 'Race war' in America

FTA- "AT LEAST 2 million readers visit DrudgeReport.com daily, and, for the last two weeks, it seemed like most of them were steamed at me.
Thousands of hostile messages flooded my e-mail after my Sept. 2 column that the Daily News called "We Need Obama, Not 4 More Years of George Bush." Drudge cleverly headlined it: "Philadelphia columnist warns if McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race war." I stand by the column - but after all of that backlash, I realize I was dead wrong. We don't have to wait until after the election for a race war. We're in one now. I know that putting the words "race" and "war" together is like hurling an incendiary device. But I wasn't issuing a call to arms, it was a metaphorical prediction." More>>>

"I believe that the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world. I further believe that the struggle between individualism and collectivism is the same struggle reproduced on another level." -- William F. Buckley Take a listen. The lines below from several recent attacks on Sarah Palin are as revealing as they are memorable. More>>> |
