Obama’s Special Relationship


What goes around and all of that . . .

Remember John Edwards? Who broke the Edwards story? The National Enquirer of course.

After that coup, the left, which patently refused to mention the Edwards scandal decided that anything the Enquirer wrote about Sarah Palin had to be the gospel truth. They could talk about her alleged affair. They could speculate that her baby was not really her baby. They could go after her kids. After all, the National Enquirer covered it.

Hit the brakes folks.

The National Enquirer now suggests Barack Obama had an underage, gay affair with a pedophile. Yup. That Frank Marshall Davis guy Barry says was his good friend? Turns out he was a perv of the first order and liked young boys.

This post is not intended to spread that rumor. Frankly, if Obama wins, we’ll have our hands full around here making sure folks don’t develop Obama Derangement Syndrome.

But, I wonder if Andrew Sullivan and company are going to aggressively push this story. After all, it came from the Enquirer.

What goes around, comes around.

Erick, this is unworthy of your considerable talents. It’s bad enough that it comes from the Enquirer. (Yes, they got the Edwards story right but even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.) But the facts delivered by the story do not suggest an affair with Obama, only that the man was a pervert. Indeed the only underage affair specifically mentioned was with a girl.

It’s only the last sentence of the article that nudges one to stretch their brain to thinking perhaps Obama was a victim, too. But they were purposefully coy about it, and you’ve chosen to put right out there plain as day. In other words, you’ve amplified the shoddy journalism, not just reported on it.

Besides: even if the worst is true, it means Obama was a victim. And if it is, you’ve just set yourself to appear amused by it.

pac_NY (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 2:33PM EST (link)

will likely go after Enquirer over this.

Short anecdote: I remember years ago when my dad first needed to take antihypertensive medication and while waiting for a haircut in a barber shop, he just happened to read something about a certain side-effect of the drug he was given – in Enquirer. Later that day after speaking with his cardiologist, he received a call back from the doctor and amazingly, the warning about the medication was in fact true, and that my dad should stop taking the medication.

It just proves that often where there’s smoke …

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. -Psalm 104:32

Missing the point

Erick Erickson (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 2:40PM EST (link)

Where is the left? They decided the National Enquirer was credible enough to go after Palin.

This is turn about.

I have no interest in pursuing either this story or the one about his extra-marital affair.

I prefer to focus on substantive stuff.

Who will stand on either hand and keep this bridge with me?

I'm missing nothing.

You said, and I quote:

The National Enquirer now suggests Barack Obama had an underage, gay affair with a pedophile. Yup. That Frank Marshall Davis guy Barry says was his good friend? Turns out he was a perv of the first order and liked young boys.

First of all, the article does not say he liked young boys. Nowehere at all does it say that. You are the one conflating bisexuality and “seducing a 13-year old girl” and turning into “he liked young boys.” In fact, if you read the UK Telegraph article about this guy from a year ago (Confed Yankee has it, I won’t link to it), you’d see the claim he likes young boys is pretty much a non-starter. But even without the UKT story, it’s a real stretch to suggest a gay affair.

You say you’re not interested in spreading the rumor. Well, amplifying the rumor is a weird way of showing it. If this weren’t a profanity-free zone I’d be referring to bovine excrement right about now.

 
 
 

Okay Erick, if you are going to put this out there,

c17wife (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 3:02PM EST (link)

then I won’t mind saying this.

My #2 option is that I hope like crazy the rumor about Barack having an affair with his staffer that has relocated to Martinique is freakin’ true. I’ll leave out her name, for now.

The true Obots will still worship him, but the moderates that are reluctantly supporting him would hopefully find that unacceptable and not vote for him. And if we got really lucky, Barack would go the way of Silky Pony.

Bigger issue than you think...

General_Maximus (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 3:20PM EST (link)

In 2007, Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis TN had a major scandal. A longtime (20+ years) associate pastor on staff had been exposed to have been molesting his own son for over 10 years. The son married and a few years into his marriage (2006-7) he exposed the acts to his wife, friends, and church staff. The associate pastor attempted to cover it up but the truth came out.

Why do I bring this up?

Because the pastor admitted that he had been sexually abused as youth…and repeated the pattern as a father on his own son.

I don’t now how to be gentle about this so I’ll just say it…

If Davis abused Obama, there is a great chance that the pattern would be repeated with his own children.

I, like many others, knew the abuser and the abused in the scandal.
We had no idea…no one did.

Forget the presidency, for the sake of Barack’s children this needs to be addressed immediately.

in cases like that, but I have to ask the question. If you were abused, and then you BECOME an abuser, then doesn’t that make you an even worse person?

I mean, far from being an excuse, to me it is a condemnation, you had it happen to you, you knew how bad it was, then you did it yourself? That makes you a double scumbag in my book.

General_Maximus (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 4:00PM EST (link)

Davis confessed: “I could not truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine.”

The appalling catalog of admitted real-life decadence is laced with perverted sexual activity, bisexuality, rape – and the seduction of children.

Barack describes how Frank Davis had a lasting effect on him and became a father figure over the seven years they knew one another on the tropical island.

In *Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote: *“He would read us poetry whenever we stopped by his house, *sharing whiskey *with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar.

“As the night wore on, the two of them would solicit my help in composing dirty limericks.”

I don’t care if there’s not a story of Davis confessing to abusing Obama.

There’s a better than even chance that Obama was in a perfect vulnerability to be abused by this sicko.

I have no doubts that a man who fed a 10-11-12 year-old whiskey and helped him write “dirty limericks” was sexually abusing a boy who had no real father, no stable family, and was a mixed race child.

Who could/would he tell???

You tell this story to a child psychologist and they are on the phone to the police in a heartbeat.

How is this anything close to the Edwards thing?

shooflyguy68 Monday, October 13th at 4:44PM EST (link)

Let’s start first with the fact that the article doesn’t say or even imply that Obama had an affair with this man. It doesn’t even imply that the man molested or raped Obama which is what you would call any sexual relationship between a grown man and a 10 year old boy.

Quite frankly if Obama was abused as a child, it would make him a more sympathetic figure, not less.

Finally, why make something up that is this salacious and this despicable? The Enquirer is bad enough on its own and even it didn’t go as far as you did.

I guess in the fact that the Drive by Media

THAT is what they should be concentrating on, because that would be a winner.

If True, Here Is Why The Enquirer Story Is Important

Strelnikov (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 5:19PM EST (link)

If true!

As pointed out above, victims often become abusers, or if it is homosexual abuse, of becoming either bisexual or homosexual, although they are not doomed to become so.

But let us say that the huge correlation between victims and abusers as former victims skips Obama.

Here is why it would matter, if true:

  1. He has probably been receiving psychiatric counseling, which explains why he will not release all medical records.

  2. Such traumas/experiences would disqualify him as being “just folks” and would open up questions about the psychological stress he feels. In which case…

  3. It would look odd not to admit it next to McCain’s own traumas from torture, which however would affect the adult differently from the teenager.

Which is why it is probably not true!

Of course, if we do admit the above exclusion, then this opens up:

A. Obama as a bisexual, perhaps with previous homosexual partners.

B. It would make the two murders of homosexual choir members from his Chicago church look very curious indeed.

But do not become too hopeful!

Laura (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 6:20PM EST (link)

I guess I understand one point you are making…that we’ll watch the MSM not promote this new story put forth by the National Enquirer.

However, I seriously wonder whether someone hijacked your ID, because I can’t imagine that someone with your insight would call these allegations of “a gay, underage affair!?!” Don’t you mean allegations of ABUSE!?!

I cannot stand the thought of a President Barack Obama. He is my US Senator, and I cannot stand that, either. He stands for much of what I believe is truly awful. But I hope and pray that he never did suffer the sort of abuse that you, by sharing the allegations, suggest.

Now, from time to time your recent articles, playground rhetoric has carried important points. I actually appreciated your Oct. 7 post on Barney Frank’s long-time affair with Herb Moses. Some of your wording was mean-spirited, IMHO, jabbing at his homosexuality and his speech impediment. But the great point you made was that Frank clearly breached ethics due to the conflict of interest as he sat on the House Committee responsible for oversight of the GSE where his “spouse” was an executive.

But what is the good point that you are making here? And meanwhile, is it possible that you are taking some sick, boyish pleasure in the possibility that this may advance the theory that Obama may be bisexual, as well?

Erick, surely you don’t think that sexual abuse of minors is funny. This post made me think that perhaps you did, and reminded me of the worst of political discourse, not the best, that I have generally expect from you and RedState.

 

Hey Erick GREAT POST and you know how I know....all the concerned person's are offended!..

Some of you are way to up tight…that said, at least our side sways towards being uptight with this sort of thing rather than the direction that the libs would sway towards…which I think is something that Erick’s post combined with the responses to it obviously points out.

McCain the polls are bias, fraudulent
and rigged! It is my “firm belief” that you are not behind in the “swing states”. The liberal democrats and their “socialist regime” will do anything to win this election! You can
win this election by telling your staff
and supporters to stop looking at the
national polls and concentrate on the
“battleground states”. The “key” battleground states you need to win are Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada and believe it or not, you have a good shot at winning Pennsylvania! McCain at the debate you must answer the debate questions in more “simple” terms! In the previous debates when the question of taxes was raised, you kept saying check my record! Most Americans will not! Simply
say you have a history of reducing taxes!
Put BHO on the defensive by telling the American public that BHO pledged during his campaign for the Ilinois senate that if elected, he would lower taxes. He won the seat and raised them! When he denies this, tell him that the people of the State of Illinois know better! The “truth” is impossible to beat! Your supporters know that BHO lies about almost everything he says!You must corner this guy on every issue! If you are too nice to him in this debate, like you have been in the previous debates, the public looks at you as if you are giving in to him! That shows weakness! Attack this “odd ball” John! Tell this “socialist” what you really think about him! The public will love a show of strength! It shows that you don’t really like what this guy is all about! Gun control,Rev. Wright, Ayers, acorn, etc. Trust me! He has needed a “whipping” for a long, long time! He would never give my wife the finger like
he did to Hillary in the primaries or
make that “sick” lipstick remark about Sarah! What kind of lack of respect for women does this guy have? Strange! John,
give him the “hell” that he wants to give
to anyone in America that isn’t part of
his “personal agenda”! Independent and
veteran for McCain/Palin.

If you’re going to point it out at all, to make a genuinely serious point, there’s no need to link to it. Anyone can go to the National Enquirer site if they’re that determined. But even if you insist on linking it, then be reserved about describing its content, and certainly don’t amplify the rumor by adding certainty or explicitness where there is none.

This lesson is particularly true where the National Enquirer is concerned. They are masters at innuendo and suggestion to get you to believe something happened without ever suggesting it outright. And Erick took the bait. They have plausible deniability here—they can say, “Erick Erikson’s the one spreading falsehoods here. We never said Obama had a gay affair. It’s not here in the story, period.” And the fact is, it’s not. They never alleged that Sarah Palin had an affair, either; they reported that other people alleged it.

So even if Erick knew exactly what he is doing, and had a more lofty point to make: it really doesn’t matter what Erick’s stated intentions are, this kind of post is going to get used by both sides for unproductive purposes. The Right is going to use it, as General_Maximus has done, to take the football and run it even further in the oddball direction. The Left is going to point out that we’re a bunch of angry whiners peddling ludicrous rumors; and guess what, because they have the MSM on their side, their version of events is going to get traction.

The MSM doesn't give a darn about Erick's intentions.

gensec (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 9:45PM EST (link)

You say you’re not interested in spreading the rumor. Well, amplifying the rumor is a weird way of showing it. If this weren’t a profanity-free zone I’d be referring to bovine excrement right about now.

Come on, just for the humor impaired, it was spelled out with “This post is not intended to spread that rumor” and deriding “Obama Derangement Syndrome”. And even without the disclaimer, the formulation of the rumor was so intentionally kooky, that he was making it obvious that only a moron could take it seriously.

When an adult rapes a 10 year old, it is in Erick’s snarky phrasing: the 10 year old “had an affair”. Is there any way to read a statement about a 10 year old “having an affair” with an adult as anything but satire?

With those red flags intentionally thrown up, it was obviously a joke to see how many suckers would take it seriously. Of course almost nobody here took it seriously, though some criticized the joke as in bad taste.

What’s utterly hilarious (maybe more than anticipated by Erick) is that there are a few among us, in the comments in this thread, who actually did take it seriously! Comments about it means Obama is likely abusing his own children, it may well have turned him gay, and makes him a suspect in murders of gays in his church.

Who woulda’ thought tossing up an obviously satirical rumor could drive some people into such gullibility? Heck, they’re probably starting chain emails to all their friends with subject lines like “PROOF! Barack HUSSEIN Obama was a 10 year old SLUT!!!!!

Hey guys, you got pie in your face! You fell for Erick’s joke, hook, line and sinker!

 
 
 
 

Sleaziest Thread Ever

olderthangandalf Monday, October 13th at 10:28PM EST (link)

And there have been some sleazy, lowroad threads lately.

I’m going to go take a shower.

We have a director who amplifies and extends an article in the Enquirer for reasons that escape me, as even if it were true I don’t see how it would be anything but just sad. We have others who find pedophilia amusing, as if it is a big hardy har har when it happens. We have still others ready to take it a step further and accuse Obama of molesting his own children, despite the lack of anything remotely resembling a shred of evidence or reason to suspect same.

Republicans have enough problems this election cycle. We don’t need this. We don’t need, with a major butt whuppin shaping up, to complicate the rebuilding by positioning ourselves as the party that finds child abuse a huge roaring knee slapper.

I am ashamed of my party.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

“The Stealth Candidate”

izoneguy (Diary) Monday, October 13th at 11:12PM EST (link)

It’s much more than Frank Marshall Davis
wrote pornography and may have had
sex with underaged girls.
It is what he did to Obamas mind – that is the story.

EDITED TRANSCRIPT: MAY 22, 2008, BRIEFING ON
BARACK OBAMA’S COMMUNIST CONNECTIONS
Featuring Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein

Excerpts:

“The continuing influence of Davis over Barack Obama could help explain why, when he went off to college, by his own admission in his book, he admits selecting Marxist professors among his friends and attending socialist conferences. It could also help explain why, when he arrived in Chicago to pursue a political career, he came into
contact with people who had socialist and communist connections. I’m going to talk about that. That’s the basis of my report.”

(snip)

“But why are we interested in Barack Obama?
Well, he comes out of nowhere, overnight, as if he were dropped off the turnip truck. I mean, who is this person? We know nothing about him. And, in order to understand
him, I think we need to understand the things that influenced him and some of them he reveals in his book, Dreams From My Father, but many other things he does not reveal. So we decided to start going back and see what things influenced him even before he
was born.”

(snip)

“Question: Thank you, I’m with Russian television. You mentioned State Senator Alice Palmer, former State Senator in Illinois. Could you go a little bit into that in more detail?
You said in your introduction that the communist menace was real and it’s still real today. Could you expand on this idea? Thank you.”

(snip)

“Kincaid: I would add the Washington Post has an article today about some of the lobbyists around McCain and their connection to foreign governments and foreign
interests. This is excellent. This kind of investigative reporting ought to be applied to McCain [and] ought to be applied to Obama. That’s all we’re saying. Let’s be fair. Let’s be honest. Let’s be even handed. Let’s use the investigative resources of the press in a fair and straightforward manner. That’s all we’re saying.”

(snip)

“Trevor Loudon: One thing I would like to say is that there is ongoing support for Obama by the Communist Party USA. You can read that in the publications on a regular
basis. They have campaign members, they have party members, in his campaign office in Baltimore and in Los Angeles. And the Young Communist League is openly
campaigning in the streets of New York for him. The Democratic Socialists of America and the unions they control and dominate are endorsing Obama on a regular basis. In
1996, he was endorsed by The Democratic Socialists of America when he stood for State Senate. He was openly a member of The New Party, which was a front group for
The Democratic Socialists of America and the Committees of Correspondence and the Communist Party U.S.A. So he was openly a member of that organization at that time,
accepted their support, accepted their money, and they’re supporting him still today. Why are they doing it? That is a question that Barack Obama should be asked.
Kincaid: And we’ll read the answer in the Washington Post, I’m sure. “

AND YOU KNOW IT WON’T – The MSM is chained
to the corporate masters of power. They are
part of the cover-up.

All you can do is present this information to as many
people as you can and let them make up their minds.

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

 

This is vile stuff

Red State, you’ve hit the bottom of the barrel. For shame!

The Left-sphere had some fun lately spreading incest rumors about Palin, Prink.

Moe Lane (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 12:56AM EST (link)

Your next post will give us a link to your previous courageous pushback against it on any Left-blog of equal or higher traffic.

Alternatively, you may add the following to your signature:

I am a coward who will not challenge the hatred and ugliness of my own side.

Your call.

Moe

PS: Yes, quite serious.

Shared whiskey w/Obama's grandfather

Prink Tuesday, October 14th at 12:56AM EST (link)

Not with Obama. Can’t you even read?

Sorry, Prink: "ignore the site moderator" wasn't on the list.

Moe Lane (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 1:02AM EST (link)

Guess we’ll go with moral cowardice for your answer, then.

Remember, folks: it’s not that they’re not really outraged; it’s that they’re outraged at being caught out at what they do.

I think that you need to re-read, Prink.

Rod_Patrick (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 1:14AM EST (link)

It’s a satire.

Because of Enquirer’s accuracy in Edwards’s scandal, most Democrats and Palin-hating people have immediately believed in the Enquirer’s alleged Palin’s scandals. The same have been spread in the blogosphere.

Erick’s article offers the question whether those people who spread the rumors on Palin (more than one, actually) and those people who have happily accepted the same as Gospel Truth will also DO THE SAME now that Enquirer has reported a similar “vileful” (your term) rumor against Obama.

I suggest you read the article again before you condemn RS.

Almost everyone knows it Lady c17wife.

Rod_Patrick (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 3:05AM EST (link)

I think all RS guys know the story about the cutie Vera that Michelle hates so much. I also thought that it would be banned here at RS if somebody would try such story.

You think that only girls and ladies who can handle rumors. You’re wrong. Men also have hidden passion for that. Erick is the case in point with this article. (isn’t Marshall Davis already 6 feet under?) LOL!

BTW, your item #1 really angers the trolls. LOL!!!

[Remember, folks: Obama supporter. I guess that they like gay-baiters better over there. - Moe Lane]

That’s pretty funny.

Almost as funny (but not as verifiable) as the multiple gay affairs John McCain likely had with some Vietnamese men about 35-40 years ago. You know, when Johnny was crying out “Ho Chi Minh has expanded the circumference of my posterior!!!” on a nightly basis.

21 days.

Barack Obama = President of the United States

US Senate = 60 Democrats

US House = 250+ Democrats

You = crying like a fat 13 year olf girl in a corner.

Poor, Poor neo-cons [And Jew-haters!]

No kidding! It’s really pathetic that McCain partisans have nothing else. The neo-con movement is dead. Long Live Liberalism!

Thanks for the demonstration.

So happy we may be turning over the country to you guys (CLEAN UP NEEDED)

Jack_Savage (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 7:34PM EST (link)

This post says it all – probably the most classy I have seen in a few months, and so very typical.

And please do not project you desires onto John McCain, for I believe it is your posterior which has been expanded in order to comfortably fit your head, your girlfriend’s fist and her pet gerbil.

See you soon, punk.

I guess you got their attention

UnderCoverGuy (Diary) Tuesday, October 14th at 9:20PM EST (link)

So now they are attacking Erick at Crooks and Liars. They’re claiming that your post is nearing the bottom of the barrel. Guess we got their attention, huh?

Erick – Keep up the good work sir.

WOW Erick you made Crooks & Liars how ironic is that at :-)

Why dont you like it up you putrid sow.

Hey Kristine,

powertothepeople (Diary) Tuesday, January 25th at 3:53PM EST (link)

Did you come over here to show us how blogging from the left is more civil than what comes from us on the right?

If so, her is my suggestion to you. Prior to posting on a site, you should:

Make sure you are not high on meth. It tends to make you look like a fool. Sort of how you have looked on this site so far.

You should add a disclaimer to all your posts such as “Kristine is a flaming idiot and should not be held accountable for the ignorance she posts.” This way we all know from the start you are just some welfare moron who wants to play with us and we would not be so hard on you. We try to respect those with serious mental handicaps, well that and make sure you never hold any sharp knives due to your constant need to slap your chest.

And three, go after those on the site who have shown to be of lesser IQs. See with your low IQ, going after the ones on here with 3 digit IQs is akin to some high school football team challenging the Pittsburgh Steelers. It would be beating which is what you will experience should you continue to pit your 65 against the many 130s and up in here.

So move back to moron land over at the KOS. You fit in there much better.

Ah, projection. What an interesting way of coping with a world not to your liking.

Wow, such language.

Well, that's the email that matches up.

Now that I’ve made the point that this idiot isn’t actually anonymous, I’m removing the last name from the profile.

Crooks & Liars. Man, that takes me back! I figured that they had gone the way of Warbloggerwatch.

Liberals never go away, they just lick their wounds and plot their diabolical schemes.
