    Takes mamooth 14 posts "to be fair" - and the opportunity for me to point out mamooth "being fair" is only provided after mamooth starts by being unfair.

    Noted.

    You've already lost, mamooth - by your own words.

    Yet another unsourced claim that, if even true, acts as a contradiction more so than an actual relevent refutation in an argument.

    Here you go! Enjoy. http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511 every claim is sourced. Don't worry, I won't expect a relevant response from you after you realize that all that "unadulterated crap" is empirically accurate.

    Let's see the Breitbart "videos", then we can talk about it. Until then, it's really not worth anyone's time (even if then, it's likely that it may all be very laughable).

    And I am beginning to be entertained, at observing how so many dog-whistle-trained racists are attacking the man (Obama) himself. I thought I'd be annoyed a lot more than I am, now I DO find it all to be rather humorous.

    I swear... if many more on the Right would focus upon this nation's REAL problems and cease pretending that Barack Obama is ALL of America' problems... we'll be a lot better off.

    Yes because we all know that disagreeing with Obama = Racist. Even if it isn't obvious hence the "dog whistle." is there any possible way to disagree with Obama and not be a racist in your book?




    I didn't think so.

    Please note that the author of your "empirical evidence" is referring to someone named "Anna Dunham" throughout. Since Obama's mother's name was "Stanley Ann Dunham", it raises questions in my mind as to whether he even knew who he was researching. I've never seen any other reference to her as "Anna Dunham" anywhere.


    When was Obama "mentored" by a Communist? What "marxist professors" did he hang out with in college? I thought there was absolutely no record at all of Obama being in college and not a single person at any one of the schools he attended has any recollection of him. If so, where does this information come from?


    This is refuted by the article I posted earlier and will refer you to again.


    ACORN is the only name I recognize here. Should I assume that the others are black organizations and therefore "not fit for print"? LOL!

    I don't know if Obama's father was a Communist or not, but if he was, what difference would it make? Obama never saw his father from shortly after birth until 1971 when he would have been 10 years old when his father came to visit him. Obama never saw him again.

    You're claiming that Obama is a Muslim because he attended a Muslim school between the ages of 6 and 8. Why isn't he a Catholic since he attended a Catholic school between ages 8 and 10? Since he was 2 years older, wouldn't that have made more of an impression on him than the Muslim school? After that, at age 10, he returned to Hawaii and attended a private school and a Christian church from then on but you're claiming that could have had no effect on his religious beliefs? I've never seen anything to indicate that the Punahou School was Muslim.

    I'm also curious about the "classmate" who described Obama as "extremely religious in the Muslim faith" between the ages of 6 and 8. How many children do you know who develop life-long ingrained religious beliefs at that age? And here again, we're told that there is nobody anywhere who remembers ever seeing or knowing Obama. So which is it? :confused:

    Your article is from a flaming anti-Obama/anti-Left site so it doesn't count as "empirical evidence" by any stretch of the imagination IMHO.

    I'm talking about the whole picture.

    Have you seen American politics lately?

    Obama admitted in his own book that he hung out with Marxist Proffesors. Wow, just wow. That was among the easyest things to prove. See here >>> http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=US#/watch?v=vUsNMsrGycY For a guy whose father was a socialist having little influence on him He sure did pick a funny name for his book huh? "dreams of my father?" Acorn is not the only organization mentioned. You didn't read it did you? You didn't reference the sources did you? You can question the Individual first hand accounts but you cannot question the facts. They are all referenced. Just because you choose to ignore it or because you don't like the fella who compiled the sources doesn't mean that it's false.


    Oh, and I never made a comment on religion outside black liberation theology. Which we all know is true.

    Once I realized what kind of site it was, I mostly skimmed the article and clicked on a couple of the sources. And I haven't read either of Obama's books.

    An education is a wonderful thing. Reading a book or talking to someone about Communism doesn't make you a Communist - it simply tells you what Communism is. Attending a meeting at the home of someone you don't know doesn't make you a domestic terrorist. Hanging out with "Marxist professors" doesn't make you a Marxist - it gives you an indepth knowledge of what Marxism is. Attending a Muslim school when you're 6 years old doesn't make you a Muslim but it gives you a basic knowledge of what being a Muslim means.

    People who are intelligent and open-minded have a thirst for knowledge and want to know the theories behind various religions and political persuasions. That doesn't mean they automatically become everything they learn about - it simply gives them an understanding of the world around them which is invaluable when they come to a position of leadership and they need to be able to communicate and work with people of all different religious and political beliefs. It makes them more knowledgeable of what the repercussions of certain statements/actions will likely be when dealing with international incidents.

    Knowledge is a GOOD thing despite the Right's fear of it.

    And BTW - I don't think "Dreams of my Father" is a strange choice for the title of his book. Any young man who had never known his father would have to be curious about him and spend time wondering what kind of person he was and how his life would have been different if his father had been around.

    What did you think it meant? :confused:

    I like how you go from "everything I said is bs" to "wellllll his associations with radical leftists was just a life long fact finding mission." Get real!

    Your claim seems to be that since he attended a Muslim school when he was 6 years old, he must be a Muslim. If he talked to a Communist acquaintance, he must have been "mentored" by him and must be a Communist. If the father he never saw was a Socialist, he must be a Socialist. If he "hung around with Marxist professors", he must be a Marxist. If he went to a meeting in the home of a former domestic terrorist, he must be a domestic terrorist. In my very personal opinion, this IS b.s.

    That's like saying if you have a friend or family member who's gay or an alcoholic, then you, too, must be gay or an alcoholic. I know people who are gay and people who are alcoholics. It hasn't made me either one but it HAS given me a better understanding of what it means to be either one and the problems encountered in their lives.

    The book title doesn't refer to what his father's dreams were. It refers to his curiosity and imaginings about a father he never had a father/son relationship with. I would have to question just how much he was influenced by a father he didn't know and his father's beliefs/opinions have absolutely no bearing on this country. The essay is solely concerned with Africa and Kenya and their economic development.

    I think this illustrates the fundamental difference in Liberals and Conservatives - the simple interpretation of titles and statements.

    An example is the outrage of Conservatives at Hillary Clinton's book "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child". There was all manner of screeching about "By God, no village is going to raise MY child - I'll raise my child all by myself". IMO, the "village" a child is raised in includes not only its home and parents but school teachers, coaches, music teachers, Scout leaders, friends, parents of friends, their pastor/priest, Sunday School teachers, the people in the church - ALL of whom have had an influence on my children as they grew and learned things I couldn't teach them (how to play the piano) and to live and get along with all different kinds of people.

    So Obama led a lifelong fact finding mission of radical leftiest ideoligy and was not simpily hanging out with like minded people? Your joking right? I myself dont know a single self professed marxist/communist/socialist. He spent all his life in their presence. Generally when your endorsed by Students for a Democratic Society, The New party, Democratic Socialists of America, and campaigning on behalf of stated socialist Bernie Sanders, your not the run of the mill democrat.

    Hillary is a true Alinskite. Read her college thesis http://www.gopublius.com/HCT/HillaryClintonThesis.html . She and Barack have alot in common. They both praise and hang out with communists, socialists, marxists, and radical leftists.

    Exactly what is it about Alinsky that has RW panties in such a wad? Or is it just that the name kind of rolls off the tongue and sounds "scary" to RWers because it's - OMG! - FOREIGN! Or even WORSE - he wrote a book called "Rules for Radicals" and we all know what THAT means, don't we? :crazy:

    Was it as glowing with admiration toward Hitler as Hillary was toward Alinski? If thats the case there may be a problem.
