Through a glass darkly

1:58pm



Fortunately, some newspapers are making valiant efforts to excavate the truth about Obama and resist the intellectual intimidation being used to suppress it. The Cleveland Leader, which as I reported here confirmed Obama’s close association with ACORN in documents which it discovered had been removed from the web, has now discovered that the denials of that involvement on Obama's fightthesmears.com website have been altered in order to make it look like he has been telling the truth about his ACORN associations all along. 
And as John Kass reports in the Chicago Tribune Obama PR Marilyn Katz, who has been busily spinning the link between Obama and William Ayers as of little consequence, is herself part of the very radical network she is busily downplaying.

What that story and many other

Truth goes under the bus

12:14pm


Big media has now decided that Obama’s radical links cannot be mentioned at all because such information incites knuckle-dragging Republican mobs to murderous and insane rage. Thus the truth is suppressed and censored because the public, apparently, cannot be trusted with it – the cry of totalitarians from the medieval church down to Stalin and beyond. Papers such as the Times and Guardian – which mindlessly regurgitate this spin -- tell us that a chastened McCain will now mute his incendiary rhetoric. Excuse me? I must have missed something. He dipped a cautious toe in the water over Ayers but pulled all his punches in his debate with Obama. It seems to me the crowds got enraged when McCain described Obama as

a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as

An absence of candour to believe in

5:42pm


Obama is twisting and turning over his relationship with unreprentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, trying to pretend it didn’t amount to anything other than a chance acquaintance. But his story becomes ever more preposterous.

First, his spokesman David Axelrod said Obama didn’t know about Ayers’s past when he met him. He also said

 

There’s no evidence that Obama in any way subscribed to any of Ayers’ views.

 

Then Obama told Charlie Gibson of ABC News:

 

‘By the time I met him [Ayers], 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois . . . And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that ... I’ve ‘palled around with a terrorist’, all these statements are

Fraud we can believe in

2:37pm


Looks like Camp Obama is trying to steal the 2008 US Presidential election.

There are now voter fraud investigations in some ten states involving ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). You can see the kind of thing that’s been going on from this site: ACORN activists being caught falsifying voter registration cards in Connecticut and Indiana, registering fictitious individuals using the details of real people, admitting engaging in voter registration fraud in Ohio but blaming it on ‘inefficiency and lack of resources’, hounding voters to register multiple times even though they had already signed up to vote.

As the Investors’ Business Daily reports:
In Missouri, one ACORN registrant named Monica Rays showed up on no less than eight forms, all bearing the same signature. Suspicious election officials sent letters to some 5,000

The Mad Britons' Tea Party

12:01pm


When you read things like this, you really do think it’s now a case of ‘will the last person to depart the UK please turn out the lights’:
Pupils as young as five will be questioned on whether they think their teachers promote healthy living, give them good guidance on relationships and keep them safe from bullying.
These are proposals by the education-free Department for Children, Schools and Families and the schools inspectorate Ofsted. When in the mid-nineties I warned in my book All Must Have Prizes that Britain’s educational lunacy was turning the respective roles of teachers and pupils inside out, the educational establishment responsible for this accused me of gross exaggeration. Now we have arrived at a situation where not only are schools subjecting children to propaganda over how to live, arising from the...
