Martin Kramer has a great round up on his insight into Obama's friend Rashid Khalidi. Just another example of why Senator Obama's judgement just might be something to question.

'Socialist' is a Code Word for Black
This is the stupidest election ever.
Shame on McCain and Palin for using an old code word for black
By Lewis Diuguid, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist
The "socialist" label that Sen. John McCain and his GOP presidential running mate Sarah Palin are trying to attach to Sen. Barack Obama actually has long and very ugly historical roots.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI from 1924 to 1972, used the term liberally to describe African Americans who spent their lives fighting for equality...
McCain and Palin have simply reached back in history to use an old code word for black. It set whites apart from those deemed unAmerican and those who could not be trusted during the communism scare.
Shame on McCain and Palin.

Powell Endorses Obama - I say disappointing, but whatever.
Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama. Its really not a surprise - General Powell has been murmuring support for Obama over the last few months. He has also become more vocal about his left leaning views - he is pro-abortion, he is uncomfortable with the possibility of replacing Supreme Court Justices with conservatives, and he is a staunch supporter of governmental race based preferences . He apparently thinks redistributing our wealth globally is just dandy, too.
What is disappointing about it, however, is that it stabs in the back those serving in the armed forces. The person Powell has chosen to support has based the majority of his campaign on the war in Iraq being unjust. In fact, Obama and his supporters have yelled from the mountain tops that Bush lied to get us in this war, they misled us on pre-war intelligence and are all a bunch of war criminals. General Powell was the most visible supporter and architect of why we went into Iraq! Has General Powell done what he needed to do to avoid the Obama Iraq Inquisition Trials of 2009? Is this why General Powell chose to wait until now rather than 6, 8, 12 months ago? Does he think "Holy cow, this cat might actually get elected and go through with his war crimes trials! Quick, how much is my soul worth?"
The left, of course, is just beside themselves with excitement for this announcement. Why? How do they justify embracing this person who "lied to the American people to start a war" and is a "war criminal"? Supporting Barry wipes the slate clean much like erasing it from the official Obama website suddenly makes it disappear from reality? Barack is trumpeting this as acknowledgement of his foreign policy experience, but again it begs the question: Does Barack not think General Powell would have been present at all those meetings where Rove, Cheney and W dreamed up all that fake pre-war intelligence? If General Powell was so opposed to this invasion, why didn't he stand up and say so when it would have made a difference? Was he lying then? Now?
Right wing pundits are stating General Powell has done this for no other reason but race. Powell did say that wasn't the reason, but went on to state electing a black president would be “electrifying.” Despite serving under 3 Republicans (Reagan, Bush and W) who promoted him to Four Star General, then Secretary of State AND named his son head of the FCC, General Powell feels the party is "narrow" and racist. Though I don't believe its the sole reason, I can't help but feel it played a big part in the decision making process.
This too is disappointing. Supporting, or opposing, any candidate based on their color is wrong. I am unable to wrap my brain around how rabid people get when faced with the idea that some white guy won't vote for a black candidate just because of race, but then are completely OK with the idea of a black guy voting for a black guy purely because of his race. Isn't that really the same thing as the black guy not voting for the white guy because of his race?
Dr. Martin Luther King was pretty clear when his idea of racial equality was a day when his children would live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. There wasn't an exception in that speech allowing for black people to support other black people out of racial solidarity without regard to the suitability for the position the supported black person is seeking.
So, leftists out there, enjoy your Colin Powell endorsement. You've saved us all the inevitable endless loops of the the good General on CNN reviewing the pre-war intelligence with EVIL WAR CRIMINAL and LIAR scrolling across the bottom had he chosen to endorse McCain

Barack Obama Wrote a Review for Ayers' Book
Our favorite undead Zombie, who is having to spend a lot of time running away from being recruited by ACORN, has turned up even more evidence that Obama and Ayers' relationship is a bit stronger than the Hope and Change Meister would have you believe.
I'm with he/she/it - there is just NO plausible way Barry didn't know who or what Bill Ayers was.
I Am Joe and Then Some!
Thank you, iowahawk. It must have been some blow to B. Hussein Obama's ego when he discovered everybody hasn't embraced the Truth and Light of Hope and Change. Please, Camp Obama thugs, stop by my front yard if you should happen to be in the area because
and possibly even a bit Alaskan.
and possibly even a bit Alaskan.
Lies, Damn Lies and WTF?
Joe the plumber made a keen observation and voter's ears perked up. What happened next? Camp Obama declares Joe a big fat liar because, after all, plumbers don't make $250k a year and to solidify their point they start smearing Joe all over the internet.
Firstly, Joe NEVER said he earned this amount of money - what he said was he wanted to buy a business that would earn this amount of money. But why let facts get in the way of a good quashing free speech moment? Obama modus operendi is to ignore truth and begin an all hands on deck intimidation and smear campaign. In this case he wants to make it about Joe the Person to deflect from the fact BHO revealed his true communist thoughts with is redistribution of wealth comment! When Obama's support for infanticide was being discussed, he attacked Gianna Jesson. When his ties to terrorist Bill Ayers being slightly more than some guy down the street started to be revealed, he attacked Stanley Kurtz. And now its Joe's turn.
Speaking of Bill Ayers, there might be more to this than orginally thought. He just may have been the ghost author of Barry's memoirs -
During the debate, Obama claimed he worked with Ayers on education reform under the auspices of Annenberg being a friend of Ronald Reagan, therefore it couldn't have funded a "radical" education program. Press BS button now, and then read this.
Then there is the ACORN issue. As you may recall, Dear Leader stated he was not really associated with this group with the one SLIGHT exception of their Motor Voter campaign. Turns out this is *shock* a damn lie. Gateway Pundit has an interesting piece on Barry's involvement that shows it was a bit more than one small project, and shows Barry was, in fact, an organizer for this group. We've linked to video showing how involved b. Hussein Obama was in this campaign, and there is more on Obama's big lie here.
Hope and change.
