Rick Moran: I went to your web page to check your journalism background. You’ve been a freelance writer for many years. Fine.
I majored in journalism and minored in philosophy. I was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and to Kappa Tau Alpha (honors-journalism) I got a job as editor of a small city newspaper while I attended the Professional Writers’ Program at USC on a graduate fellowship. I had already had a PR job working for the top ad agency in the world earlier in my life, and a series of my interviews were published by the Japanese in English and Japanese, and my best interview appeared in in AD AGE, MADISON AVENUE, ART DIRECTION and THE NEW YORK TIMES.
I have had a long-standing interest in Aristotelian logic and have seen too many of my heroes smeared by poisoning the well. (No one drinks from a poisoned well) And I believe that’s what you’ve done to Obama’s critics. I read this column. Then, I went to Obama’s “Fight The Smear” site to see if anything had been added other than a pathetic few rebuttals and nothing had.
One of the rebutted lies on his site concerns a video that may or may not exist of Michelle and Louis Farrakan, in which she “might” have used the term “Whitey” OR was it “why did he” which seemed to fit in context, I decided to wait for video proof, but thought if this is the big October surprise, this is a big nothing.
However, on June 4, at 5:46 am. in response to your column on “Mc-Cain Obama: the gloves come off, ” Dean at 5:46 am posted a list of 28 Obama lies.
Lie 1: He began with Obama’s claim that “Selma got me born” so inspired were his parents. However, Obama was born in on August 4, 1961. and the Selma, Alabama to Montgomery march took place on March 7, 1965. Much like Hillary Clinton born October 26, 1947 claimed she’d been named after Edmund Hillary, the mountaineer who who climbed Mt. Everest , six years after Hillary was born, in 1953.
Lie 4: That Obama has strong ties to African freedom. I did as suggested and googled Obama and Odinga and found a number of articles in which Raila Odinga a very bad guy from Kenya claimed to be Obama’s cousin. Well, didn’t they say Obama was related to Cheney? However, there was a picture of Obama with Odinga and the claim by Odinga that Obama had called twice during the Hew Hampshire primary. “When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi… Obama’s bias for his fellow Luo (tribe) was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila’s “stooge.”
Christian men, women and children in a church were put to the torch. Obama may be a Christian but his cousin, educated in East Germany, had promised to bring in Muslim Sharia law and signed a memorandum of understanding with Kenya’s muslims. Odinga had planned his own million man march (he claims the election was rigged) and on the day of the New Hampshire primary Obama called twice probably to tell him to call it off or wait till after OUR election. (that’s not fact, that’s my “deduction.”
“Obama’s older brother still lives in Kenya. Abongo “Roy” Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must “liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture.” (sounds a bit like Reverend Jeremiah Wright, doesn’t he?)
Lie 6: Obama claims his name is African Swahili. Hussein is an Arab name. Barack comes from “Baraka” which means “blessed” in Arabic.
I have read Obama is also an Arab name. Barack Hussein Obama, SENIOR was 87.5% Arab, and 12.5% Negro. which makes Junior 50% white, 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% Negro. http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsboy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_Obama_-_Arab-Americ
I have seen the press sit on stories until AFTER it was too late to do anything about them (Clinton’s bimbo eruptions in Arkansas. The national press knew but said nothing until after the election)
I will research and post more on other Obama lies. Last I looked someone had a list of not 28, but 76. For you to claim that these should not be looked into when we’re dealing with electing Commander In Chief is hair-raising. I await your response.
