I was so encouraged by what factcheck1 said in her letter that I borrowed the alias. (Hope you don't mind.) Walsh's commentary neglects to mention that a much bigger deal than the Kennedy endorsement is the one Obama has enjoyed for the past 12 years from indicted Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko. You can read all about their quid pro quo at the Chicago Sun-Times website, though of course, it's hardly been mentioned in the mainstream press. That's because the same people that brought us the "weapons of mass destruction" propaganda campaign are now at work convincing democrats that Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread. As soon as he knocks Hillary out of contention (and hopefully he won't), we'll be hearing all about the Rezko affair, 24 hours a day, leading up to the November election. This is how CIA contracted p.r. firms influence elections all around the world. Why should we assume they wouldn't do it here? Obama's presidential campaign began with Rezko and major G.O.P. fundraisers. Even Time magazine has admitted that. For more on the Rove strategy, check out my piece at TheCityEdition.com. I hope Salon will do some reporting on this BEFORE it's too late to matter.
Given how cozy MoveOn is with Nancy Pelosi, this doesn't come as a surprise. The Bush/Cheney cabal has infiltrated the left the same way it took over AARP before the Medicare vote. Barack Obama dropped out of the sky into national politics a couple years ago with millions of dollars and no discernible grassroots network. Now the corporate controlled media has us believing he's "the next JFK". This marketing campaign has been even more ingenious and sophisticated than the weapons of mass destruction coup these folks pulled off in 2003. The left has completely fallen for it hook, line and sinker. For some actual facts regarding Rove's role in the Democratic primary, check out my piece(with links to other articles) at thecityedition.com.
Both of these women should have been smart enough to know that Karl Rove and the G.O.P. created the Obama candidacy to prevent Clinton's landslide victory in November. With all the baggage associated with his relationship to an indicted slumlord, Obama has no chance in November once the mainstream media starts reporting on this 12-year quid pro quo (after Hillary's out of the way, of course). Supporting Barack is tantamount to letting the Bush-Cheney cabal maintain their lock on the White House for another four years! Really, what is there to argue here? That cabal reaches back to Kissinger and Nixon, and the military industrial complex that took out JFK and RFK. Isn't it ironic that Caroline Kennedy is throwing her weight behind her father's killers? It's too bad that RFK's kids, who support Clinton, won't come out more forcefully on this. We're being subjected to a WMD propaganda campaign all over again. The "divisive" Hillary. The "polarizing" Hilary. Barack, "the next JFK". And so on...
Has it ever occurred to anyone that the reason the G.O.P. hates Hillary so much is that if she wins the White House, their days of covert relations with Islamic fundamentalists and robbing of the U.S. Treasury are over? You can't fund a perpetual war without reliable villains willing to act when prompted, like the Iranian student siege of the U.S. embassy and resulting hostage crisis that got Reagan elected in 1980. Our shadow government has been working with people like this ever since, and if Hillary's in office, she's smart enough to figure out how to put a stop to it. Bill tried in the 1990s, but was clueless about what he was up against. Now both of them know how to crack this covert state dept/CIA operation, and being a woman, Hillary will be a lot more motivated. She and Benazir Bhutto are alike on this point, and the state department, all speeches and claims aside, loathed Bhutto and celebrated her passing. The G.O.P. is coming out and talking about how they'd rather run against Hillary. It's all manipulation. They understand how the left reacts when they declare they're for or against something. (Iran is another perfect example of this principle in action.) Anyone who's spent half an hour watching CNN or NBC knows the corporate media is part of the plan to elevate a two-bit scandal-ridden junior senator into "the next JFK". Notice how they even speak in sixties jargon, describing his campaign as a "movement". Wall Street doesn't want Hillary either, because she's hinted that she will propose New Deal legislation. If Obama gets enough delegates, Rove will ride into the Democratic convention on his jet stream and finish her off. At some point, bloggers, journalists and voters alike need to crack open a history book or two, or at least research a candidate who just drops out of the sky two years before a presidential election and claims he can fix everything. I have an article online at thecityedition.com about all this, with links to other sources.
