>More than 80 attorneys who have been offering free-of-charge legal services to Guantánamo detainees issued a statement Monday supporting Obama's presidential bid.
>The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) is representing several of the Gitmo detainees (such as Majid Khan) in court. Not only are they representing individual terrorists, but they are also coordinating all the legal representation for most of the detainees -- more than 500 pro-bono lawyers.
The CCR's funding statement reveals that the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT) was a major donor to the CCR's work. The IIIT was raided in 2002 by Federal agents as part of a terror-funding investigation.
Not surprising that lawyers for Muslim terrorists would support Obama.
>The Communist Party of Illinois is working for Obama. "What Obama can do for the country will help all communities including providing jobs and health care. And the number one issue is stopping the Iraq war, which is draining our economic resources. If those things bear fruit, then they will benefit all working-class communities."
The Communist Party USA views the 2008 elections as a tremendous opportunity to defeat the policies of the right-wing Republicans and to move our country in a new progressive direction.
Barack Obama’s campaign has so far generated the most excitement, attracted the most votes, most volunteers and the most money. We think the basic reason for this is that his campaign has the clearest message of unity and progressive change, while having a real possibility for victory in November.
We will work with others to defeat the Republican nominee and to end right-wing control of the new Congress.
In the long run, we see the need for an independent "people’s party" -- an electoral party that will unite labor and all democratic forces. We also are working for a political system and government whose priority is to watch the backs of working families, not fill the pockets of the corporate fat cats.
Our slogan, "people before profits" and our goal of "Bill of Rights socialism" say it all.
>The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism are supporting Obama in the 2008 US Presidential Elections, writing: "Barack Obama is an attractive, articulate and talented politician. A former community organizer among unemployed steel workers in Chicago, a civil rights lawyer and a progressive State Senator in Illinois, he has captured that intense desire for change. "Change" has become the theme of his campaign, resonating so strongly with voters, that most of the other candidates of both parties have imitated it.
>Hollywood star George Clooney said he was backing Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama here Monday as Hollywood gathered for a pre-Oscars bash on the eve of "Super Tuesday."
Speaking to reporters at the annual Oscars nominees luncheon, "Michael Clayton" and "Ocean's 13" star Clooney said he had been a long-time backer of Obama and was impressed by the Illinois senator's increased momentum.
"I've been an Obama guy for a year and a half and I'm very excited by his campaign," Clooney said. "It just seems that the more time he's out there, his numbers keep growing. So I'm very, very encouraged."
> Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim congressman, a supporter of Obama, said in an interview with The Huffington Post, said the Clinton camp was "opportunistically trying to reap the benefit" of voter concerns about Obama's religious beliefs. Ellison, who is a declared supporter of Senator Barack Obama, faced fierce religious attacks in his election to congress two years ago.
"People are going to throw some stuff on the wall and see what sticks and at this point the Clinton camp is trying to do whatever it can to be successful," said the Minnesota Democrat. "And if that means benefiting from political bigotry, I don't think they will try to put a stop to it."
"I think that Barack Obama' s Democratic opponents will say and do anything to try and win," he said. "I don't think there's much doubt of that. And so, I think that pretty much would explain [Clinton's] comments."
>Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said on February 23rd, 2008, that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world."
"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."
Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."
Farrakhan rebuilt the Nation of Islam, which promotes black empowerment and nationalism, in the late 1970's after W.D. Mohammed, the son of longtime leader Elijah Mohammed, moved his followers toward mainstream Islam.
Farrakhan has drawn attention for calling Judaism a "gutter religion" and suggesting crack cocaine might have been a CIA plot to enslave blacks.
> Jane Fonda, the actress and ardent anti-Vietnam war advocate who visited North Vietnam during those hostilities, has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president.
There were no formal ceremonies for the endorsement.
Fonda was eating out last night and exited the restaurant, ignoring as celebrities often do the assembled press contingent.
But a video camera was rolling as she approached the street and someone, perhaps just trying to get her to turn around for a picture, shouted out at her back, "Who are you going to vote for?"
There was a moment of silence. Then, the actress did turn around toward the cameras, paused and with a smile said simply, "Obama!" Then she got into a car and drove away.
> Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, the day before the Washington Caucuses. She is a "super delegate," which means she is free to select any candidate she wishes to support.
> Patrick Leahy, Senator from Vermont, chairman of the Judiciary Committee and one of the most anti-war and anti-Bush members of Congress.
Leahy has been one of the biggest impediments to the successful prosecution of the War in Iraq.
He has been one of the top three supporters of jihadists in the U. S. Congress.
> Ted, Caroline and Patrick Kennedy endorse Obama.
Obama's campaign will send Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, to Indianapolis on Friday on Obama's behalf.
Kennedy and her son Max will attend a memorial ceremony marking the 40th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
> On January 10th, John Kerry, malingerer, perjurer, traitor and the LOSER of the 2004 presidential election, endorses Obama.
> A few days before Eliot Spitzer went down in flames, in March, a highly-connected Barack Obama super-delegate was mired in accusations of corruption, bid-rigging and a dead-stripper sex scandal.
Usually the media love to report the downfall of party bigwigs, but not in the case of Detroit's youngest mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. Much of the media downplayed the mayor's scandals and did not report his party, let alone his status as a Democratic power player who can influence the election.
Kwame, who is the son of Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-MI), is not just any mayor. He was a Democratic rising star, who spoke at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and is the superdelegate to the 2008 convention thanks to his position as Vice President of the Conference of Democratic Mayors.
> Ludacris has since been mum on who would get his endorsement. But during a recent concert in Philadelphia mere days before Pennsylvania’s pivotal primary, Ludacris stated that "Barack Obama has my unwavering support for his bid to be the next President of the United States."
> The "Obama Supporters for Marijuana Law Reform" supports Obama, and right there on the Obama '08 website.
The Group Profile claims:
"The War on Drugs is another "Dumb" war! It is also a forgotten war. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and the American Civil Liberties Union agree that Marijuana should be legalized. So do we. We do not endorse illegal drug use, but we do denounce a hopeless war against our own citizens, which is only profiting the large Alcohol interests."
>On February 1st, 2008, Obama received the endorsement of the George Soros-funded socialists at MoveOn.org.
This is the group responsible for the despicable General Betray Us ads.
>MoveOn.org executive director Eli Pariser said the country needs a president to end the war (not win the war), provide universal health care, address climate change, restore America's standing in the world and "change business as usual in Washington."
>Soros' 34-year-old son Jonathan Soros, an attorney and financier, recently promoted to deputy manager of Soros Fund Management LLC., is personally involved with MoveOn.org's activities.
Interesting, an endorsement instead of a fatwah.
>Muslim Americans for Obama '08 features the masthead comment, "DONATE TODAY: One $1 DOLLAR for ONE NATION UNDER GOD"
In case there is any doubt as to which "God" these folks are speaking of, the first two paragraphs make it abundantly clear.
With God's Name ~ Quran 49:13 Oh Mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. The best of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Allah is the best knower, aware.
As Salaam Alaikum, (The Peace of God Be Upon You) and welcome to Muslim Americans for Obama'08.
“Muslim Americans for Obama ’08,” proposes installing Muslim prayer areas in public places and giving Muslims time off for prayer and has denounced Obama’s colleagues in the U.S. Senate who happen to be Jewish.
On the blog, which is attached to BarackObama.com, viewers can read about “the Senate pro-Israeli zionist hawk Joe Lieberman,”
Further troubling are the following “Issues & Solutions” on the site:
-- Institute a Law to allow Muslim Employees to take an hour off from work for Friday Jummah Prayer.
-- Make the 2 Eid’s recognized National Holidays on Calendars with days off from work.
-- Provide prayer areas suitable for Salah and Jummah, in public and private facilities. (i.e. Malls, Airports, Universities and government buildings.)
On the right side of the website’s homepage is a link to Aswat Al-Islam, a radical Islamic multimedia outlet. Muslim Americans for Obama ’08 lists it as "Quran (Audio) English Translation."
There is a link, under "Resources" on the first page that directs the reader to a Wikipedia definition of "Who is a Muslim." Some extracts are:
"The Qur'an describes as Muslims many Biblical prophets and messengers: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses (Arabic: Musa) and Jesus (Arabic: Isa) and his apostles."
In Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus’ disciples tell Jesus: "do thou bear witness that we are Muslims".
The Muslim American Society (MAS) is an organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
On its website's "Personality Page," the MAS displays a photo and short bio of Barack Hussein Obama along with other prominent Muslims, such as Malcolm X, Saladin and Moqtada al-Sadr.
A 2004 Chicago Tribune investigation revealed that, after a contentious debate, U.S. leaders of the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood decided in 1993 to begin calling themselves the Muslim American Society. The Muslim Brotherhood is an international Islamist group that largely operates underground. The Brotherhood's goal is to spread the rule of Islamic law throughout the world. Key Muslim Brotherhood ideologues, including founder Hassan al-Banna, have endorsed violence as a means of doing so.
Today, MAS' leaders admit that the group was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, but claim that MAS has evolved since then.
MAS' magazine, The American Muslim provides a snapshot of where MAS really stands on terrorism. The March 2002 issue includes a fatwa endorsing suicide bombings against Israelis, which states that "martyr operations are not suicide and should not be deemed as unjustifiable means of endangering one's life." The fatwa goes on to say that in suicide bombings, "the Muslim sacrifices his own life for the sake of performing a religious duty, which is jihad against the enemy."
> Obama has the endorsement of the New Black Panther Party -- and it's on the Obama 08 website. (Oh no it's not. After the Rev. Wright dustup, the Obamalites took it down -- before and after images)
"Barack Obama represents 'Positive Change' for all of America. Obama will stir the 'Melting Pot' into a better "Molten America.'"

> New York Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama is an organization of more than 100 New York feminist leaders. It released a joint statement Sunday afternoon criticizing Hillary Clinton and supporting Obama for president.
Clinton's support for the war in Iraq was the leading reason she lost the support of the group.
>Those endorsing Obama include longtime peace activist Cora Weiss; Katha Pollitt, columnist for The Nation; Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times writer Margo Jefferson; award-winning women's rights historians Alice Kessler Harris and Linda Gordon; Barbara Weinstein, president of the American Historical Association, and Ellen P. Chapnick, Dean for Social Justice Initiatives at Columbia Law School. Susan Sarandon and Francis Fox Piven signed on Monday.
In other words -- the hard-core lefties.
Why do you think the Islamic crescent was chosen as the logo for this organization?
>Welcome to Obama Youth, a website for young supporters of Barack Obama. The purpose of this site is to provide both individuals and groups a central place to share ideas, locate resources, organize events and communicate about supporting the candidacy of Senator Obama. While many of us may not yet be old enough to vote, we still have the ability to make a difference, spread the word, and shape Obama's platform.
Now, check out the symbol for "Obama Youth." It is the Islamic crescent.
And be sure to watch the short video that calls for the end of the "useless war."
(More butt-covering -- the logo has been changed -- click link)
>On Saturday, September 8th, it was Barack Obama's turn to enjoy billionaire chat diva Oprah Winfrey's favor, as a stunning cross section of the country's entertainment and sports elite gathered in "the meadow" of her sprawling Montecito estate to raise money for the junior Illinois senator seeking the Democrats' presidential nomination.
The overwhelmingly African American crowd included distinguished senior figures, including basketball superstar Bill Russell and Academy Award-winning actor Sydney Poitier, and younger stars, including Holly Robinson Peete and cutting-edge comedian Chris Rock. Motown's Stevie Wonder provided the entertainment, singing his hits from the '70s and '80s.
By the time Obama arrived from an overnight stay in San Francisco, the crowd, that included Cindy Crawford and husband Randy Gerber, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Hill Harper, Tom Joyner, Tyler Perry, Ellen Pompeo, Cicely Tyson, Forest Whitaker, and Winfrey's beau, Stedman Graham had grown to about 5,000 under one of those perfect, blue Santa Barbara skies. The temperature was impeccable, and the ocean glinted as the kind of backdrop money can't buy -- unless, of course, you can afford beachfront property in Santa Barbara.
Obama surveyed the scene and quipped: "I can tell you, city colleges in Chicago don't look like this. I wouldn't get any work done here."
Then, eyeing the crowd: "I didn't know there were any hippies left." That got a big laugh, as did the senator's rejoinder: "That's cool."
From there, Obama moved into his standard 45-minute stump speech, ranging from denunciations of the war in Iraq to demands for an increase in the minimum wage.
> On February 14, 2008, President Daniel Ortega, the communist who led a Soviet-backed 1979 revolution in Nicaragua, endorsed Obama, saying Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon in the United States.
"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change,"
Ortega, described Obama as a spokesman for the millions of Central American and Mexican citizens who migrate to the U.S., and said he has "faith in God and in the North American people, and above all in the youth, that the moment of great change in the U.S. will come and it will act differently, with justice and equality toward all nations."
The teachings of the Holy Quran
In another example of the Obamalytes scrubbing the web of unflattering (to Obama) content, Project Islamic H. O. P. E., which follows the teachings of the Holy Quran and the example of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) has removed this home page banner that featured Obama:
and replaced it with this bipartisan one, that features Arnold (first example of Muslim humor I've ever seen):
>Project Islamic H. O. P. E. support and follow the leadership of Imam W. Deen Mohammed, one of the world’s foremost Islamic leaders.
Project HOPE has added a disclaimer, that is also new: "Pictures above are of Project Islamic H. O. P. E's Najee Ali in action at various events. No other persons pictured above are members of our organization" --
That means you, Arnold.
Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg has launched a scathing attack on U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama, accusing him of gleaning support from the Ku Klux Klan.
The rapper, real name Calvin Broadus Jr., insists the Democratic candidate has received funding from the KKK.
He tells the Guardian, "The KKK gave Obama money. They was (sic) one of his biggest supporters ... Why wouldn't they be? The media won't tell you that. They don't want you to know that. They just want you to know that this [bleep] befriended this other [bleep] who be (sic) threatening your values.
"But we all know all presidents lie to get into [bleep] office. That's they (sic) job."
But Snoop insists Obama will still emerge victorious in the upcoming presidential elections. He adds, "In America's eyes, that mutha[bleep]'s gonna be president 'cos (John) McCain can't [bleep] with him. Hillary (Clinton) can't [bleep] with him. He's winning over white people, white ladies."
During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack Obama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman, Tony Rezko and his associates, than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.
Seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his "best estimate" was that Rezko raised "between $50,000 and $60,000" during Obama's political career.
However, Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Additionally, Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s.
>A British-Iraqi billionaire lent millions of dollars to Rezko just weeks before an imprudent land deal that has returned to haunt the presidential contender, a recent investigation by The Times discloses.
The money transfer raises the question of whether funds from Nadhmi Auchi, one of Britain’s wealthiest men, helped Mr. Obama buy his mock Georgian mansion in Chicago.
With the corruption trial of one of Sen. Barack Obama’s longtime friends and supporters set to begin on March 3rd, in Chicago, reform watchdogs say it will reveal the "cesspool" of Illinois politics in which Obama came of age and has said little about in his campaign for president.
With the corruption trial of a longtime friend and supporter of Sen. Barack Obama set to begin next week in Chicago, the judge ruled today that federal prosecutors will be able to show the jury photos of Tony Rezko's suburban mansion because they are evidence of "events that occurred" there and of his "opulent lifestyle."
>Rezko, charged in a scheme to bribe and corrupt Illinois officials, held numerous fundraising events at his Wilmette mansion, including one for the 2004 senate campaign of Obama that raised more than $60,000.
Everything you ever wanted to know about Obama and Rezko.
Obama's Iraqi Oil for Food connection -- The Obama-Rezko-Auchi-Alsammarae conspiracy.
> March 2nd, Sen. Jay Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, endorsed Obama on Friday and campaigned with him on Saturday.
>Rockefeller, who gave up George Bush's plan to invade Iraq, to the Baathists in Syria, called Obama "brilliant" and "well grounded" and prepared to take the reins as commander in chief.
> Rolling Stone magazine announced it is backing Democratic Obama for president. This is the first time the music magazine has endorsed a contender for the White House during the primary. The endorsement was accompanied by a photo of Obama, surrounded by a saintly glow.
"The reason for the early choice is twofold," the editors explain in the publication's upcoming issue. "Undoing the damage of the disastrous Bush years will take a leader who can unite a deeply divided nation, and politicians with gifts like Obama's are so rare that it's imperative for each of us to do our part."
The magazine has endorsed presidential candidates since 1972, beginning with Democrat George McGovern. Other recent candidates include Democrats Bill Clinton, Al Gore and John Kerry.
That's some list! Without the meddling of Ross Perot, Rolling Stone's record of backing losers would be perfect.
> Bernie Sanders, who won his Senate seat in 2006, called Obama "one of the great leaders of the United States Senate," even though Obama had only been in the body for less than two years.
Sanders is the only openly Socialist member of the U. S. Congress and a founder of the Progressive Caucus, a front-organization for congress-critters who belong to the Democratic Socialists of America.
> Malaak Shabazz, Malcolm X's daughter has endorsed Obama, and says his constituency should not be troubled by her Nation of Islam background.
Several days after the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan announced his support of Barack Obama, a daughter of the late Malcolm X has announced that she is also backing the senator's run for the White House.
Actually, him (Obama) and Michelle remind me of my parents, and what they have to face with children, and with the climate that we're dealing with politically. She's brilliant. My mother's brilliant. He's brilliant. My father was brilliant. And they're still sticking to the community. So, no, they are not Betty and Malcolm. But they are the present day Betty and Malcolm.
> The Socialist Party USA is on board, and they're even selling Obama gear -- how capitalistic!
Obama, is different from most Democrats because of his willingness to embrace the controversial George Soros. Shortly after Soros equated the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to the September 11th terrorist attacks, Obama joined him in New York for a fund-raiser on June 7th.
Not only did Soros donate to Obama's campaign, but four other family members -- Jennifer, sons Jonathan and Robert and wife Susan -- did as well. Because of a special provision campaign finance laws, the Soroses were able to give a collective $60,000 to Obama during his primary challenge.
At the Apollo Theater fundraiser, Obama was introduced by the radical Marxist professor, racist and self-styled rapper, Cornell West, as "my comrade." -- the video.
What does this tell you about Obama, when he chooses to be introduced by one of the most radical Marxists in America as, "my comrade?"
Then Watch this video -- Cornell doesn't trust Obama -- Why the change in attitude?
What promises did Obama make to cause this 180◦?
