Submitted by chad360 on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 5:49am.this is wack...what a crazy site, and what an odd video producer ...
...won't it be "November surprise" though?
What?
Submitted by Fructuous Frederick on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 7:39am.What's with all of these batshiat insane videos, lately? The nutbags really come out of the woodwork during presidential elections. Do some research on this Philip J. Berg individual. This is not the first time that he's done... well, crazy shiat.
Also, I laughed out loud during the part at the beginning where the video's producer says that he's not a conspiracy theorist and that he doesn't wear tinfoil hats. I beg to differ, having checked out a few of his other videos.
Sincerely, Frederick

Submitted by Phil Owen on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 8:34am.Oh, come on. And really. And wtf? The name of the production organization alone gives this away. Illuminati productions? (This reminds me of the folks that believe in a vast conspiracy of Freemasons to conquer the world... I mean, really, have any of these folks ever met a Mason? Their top goal is to conquer illness in children - with their second foul ambition being to wreak devastation on the weeds in their lawn, followed by the organization of the New World... 's best barbeque.)
An attorney filing a case doesn't make a case credible. I've known my share of crackpot-tinhat attorneys.

Thanks Rick (you sure blew this up! =)
It's pretty clear his birth location is
Submitted by JT on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 12:00pm.in Hawaii. But what I found curious is the claim of obama living and going to school in Indonesia and his loss of US citizenship from that time away. I haven't been able to find if obama did/would have lost his citizenship at that point.
Maybe Rick can "blow that up" too.

I think the deeper question is...
Submitted by Rick on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 12:11pm....why does anyone care? It seems to me like a not-so-subtle vehicle to talk about how Obama is "not like us." Similar strategies are found in McCain's repetitive asking: "Who is Barack Obama?" (Well, we've known about Obama for 2+ years, but Sarah Palin for only 2+ months -- I don't see anyone saying "Who is Sarah Palin?") Also, the incessant use of his middle name, pointing out that he is from (and vacations in) Hawaii. It is all carefully crafted to say: "Be afraid of the Black Man! Who knows what he's gonna do?!"
Like I said: thinly veiled racism.
Beware the terrible simplifiers.
Jacob Burckhardt
I certainly don't care
Submitted by rainy gray on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 4:36pm.You CANNOT lose your citizenship that way
Submitted by Guglielmo on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 12:15pm.Then again there is the issue of McCain's citizenship
Submitted by Laurian on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 2:24pm.Being born in Panama 1936 means he is not a natural born Citizen, one of three requirements to be President defined in Article II, section 1 of the constitution. Congress has granted citizenship of children born to American parents overseas but the constitutionality of that legislation vis a vis the office of the President has never been tested. A strict constitutionalist argues only a constitutional amendment removing the natural born citizen requirement would make McCain's presidency constitutional.
Here's a big fat sizzling conspiracy snausage for y'all. After McCain steals an election, lawyers for Palin mount a successful constitutional challenge on the natural born issue forcing him to step aside and on Januray 20th 2009 Sarah I've-been at-this 5-weeks Palin is sworn in as President by Bush appointee Chief Justice Roberts! Dun dun DAAAH!
(Man, I even scared myself with that one.)
Debating the citizenship of Obama is not a path McCain supports should go down.
No Rick,
Submitted by JT on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 5:12pm.it's not about being afraid of the BLACK MAN! It's because we should be very afraid of the most liberal member of congress. The guy who patterned his community organizing after a radical marxist! It's the guy who is rabidly against the 2nd amendment. It's the guy who wants to levy a 2+ trillion tax burden on the MIDDLE CLASS over the next 10 years(no he doesn't talk about that). It's the guy who has questionable associates that are wackjobs, and radicals that would just as soon see this country destroyed (birds of a feather, or show me who you walk with and I will show you who you are). It's the guy who became a Christian for political puposes only to better reach out to those in his community at the time.
It has nothing to do with his race, even though the liberals want to throw down the race card to scare people into not talking about how far out of main stream obama is. There are many blacks in this country that people don't have a problem with because of their race, Condi is one of them. But I'm sure you have negatives to say about Condi, so maybe you are the racist Rick!?
This is a divided country. Obama will not be able to reduce that division, he will increase it many times over.
Like I have posted on Olyforums, the only good thing about obama as president will be to laugh at you that vote for him and to be able to say "I told you so".
"RITALIN, so much easier than parenting"

It's clearly about race...
Submitted by Rick on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 6:45pm....'cause all that other stuff is nonsense.
For example, Bush has now overseen the biggest socialist program in US history, the NATIONALIZATION OF 9 MAJOR BANKS. Such measures were not taken even during the Great Depression. So, there's a little "radical Marxism" for you.
And if the Iraq war isn't a "tax on the middle class" every day that it continues, I don't know what is.
Beware the terrible simplifiers.

JT my friend
Submitted by Laurian on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 8:29pm.Two points of fact and one opinion.
Hey Laurian,
Submitted by JT on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 6:11am.You owe me a cup of coffee :)
Point #1--on critical issues for this voter, obama is way left of those you mention.
Point #2--I was speaking of obama's choice to pattern his methods of community organizing after Saul Alinsky, not ACORN.
Point #3--My issue with obama's belief system is his motivation.
On another note, lots of throwing around the racism line towards the whites who disagree with obama on his policies. Yet not much said about obama going to a church with one of the most bigoted semi-public figures I have ever seen.
I wonder how this community would feel about a local cop having attended KKK meetings for the last 20 years? Or got their professional guidance from the leader of that group? Not a perfect analogy, but similar to what we see from obama.
"RITALIN, so much easier than parenting"

Okay...
Submitted by Phil Owen on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 8:14am.First, you claim that your concern with Obama has to do with his politics, not his race. But you're speaking from both sides of your mouth here. You've just posted a video that falsely denies his citizenship. What could possibly be the purpose of this? We've heard about Obama being a muslim, a terrorist, an Arab, and a non-citizen. These falsehoods, while driven by political purposes, are in fact about race. And they've been disproven, over and over and over again. Speaking of "birds of a feather", why are you sympathizing with and giving support to bigots and liars?
Second, Saul Alinsky is the grandfather of modern community organizing. To call a person a community organizer is, in effect, to say that they are of the Alinsky school. Alinsky's influence is so profound that his tactics can even be found among the playbooks of, say, Karl Rove. Any intelligent person seriously wishing to make a difference through either politics or community organizing will include Rules for Radicals among their studies, no matter what their own personal politics are.
Third, I wish you'd simply keep quiet about "Marxists". I suspect that you wouldn't know what Marxism was if it beat you over the head. If you would like to comment on Marxism, or even accuse someone of being a Marxist (you may accurately throw that accusation at myself), you would be wise to try reading a few pages of Marx first. You may start with the Paris Manuscripts, or with the essay "Labor and Capital", if you don't want to immediately wade through the three dense volumes of Capital. But please don't think that you can go on about Marxists or Marxism after having read some inflammatory passage from the Communist Manifesto.

maybe it is a lack of education...
Submitted by chad360 on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 9:20am....then again, folks often toss around buzz-words and use concepts they have no comprehension of, so I guess it is just human nature (happens all the time in the IT tech industry in my experience).
Phil: thanks for posting what I was thinking.
Oh Phil,
Submitted by JT on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 11:34am.obama is the scariest politican that has come around a very long time. Anything that might prevent him from becoming president is a wonderful thought. As for you belief that the motivation for the "falsehoods", as you put it, being race based I completely disagree.
As far as Marxism, I completely surrender to your superior education on the subject. But I have read enough and know enough about Marxism to know I don't like much about it, and certainly don't want someone who shares those views to any serious degree being my president.

Obama is spelled with a Capital Letter JT
Submitted by chad360 on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 9:15am.That is because it is a proper noun, like John =)
KKK gets the CAPS, but Obama is just a thing ?
Ya know, if you stopped acting like such a honky, maybe you'd achieve a modicum of enlightenment...
...but as it is, you are welcome to your astute political posturing but you are also gonna miss all the good parties.
Stay safe-
Yes Chad,
Submitted by JT on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 11:50am.I forgot, Olyblog is where the enlightened hang out, LOL.
I spell obama sans a capital because I dislike him, and fear him. Some of the things I fear about him I listed above in my post to Rick. And I dislike him for how his policies will destroy this country.
Now on Olyblog, there are lots of mean and hateful things said about Bush, but that's ok because he is white. I'm sure if Bush's skin was dark, none of hate sent his way would have occurred.
What I continue to find funny is most of you that post on Olyblog are white, live in white communities, and have never spent any significant time in a non-white community. But all the time, you can tell those of us that have been immersed in non-white communities, how we should act, what we should write, and how our thinking is tantamount to racism. I'm not surprised, because there is very little life experience here, but lots of classroom theory.
If the worse thing I do to express my displeasure with obama is not capitalizing his name, it's pretty small stuff compared to the crap that has been said for the sitting prez, this city mayor, or the wonderful things to officers of the court by those here that espouse open mindedness.

Anyways, why would you assume?
JT: "What I continue to find funny is most of you that post on Olyblog are white, live in white communities, and have never spent any significant time in a non-white community. "
I guess for a guy like you, being a cop provides all the "life experience" n such?...

Yeah, its you Gug,
Submitted by JT on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 6:06am.you can always be counted on to make something out of nothing. My point was, the left has issues with Rice. Lets hope its not because of her race. As for me, I would vote to Condi for prez, but would never vote for obama, or for that matter Hillary. It's about the issues, not the race or gender. Although the left wants to muddy the water with their chants of racism, that has been a common ploy of the left for a long time.

Submitted by The Original Yoda on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 1:05pm.Comparisons to the KKK!?
Submitted by Sandy M on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 2:03pm.I'm still reeling from officer JT's direct comparison of Obama's old Chicago church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, to the KKK -- and Rev. Wright to the leader of the KKK.
JT: "Not a perfect analogy, but similar to what we see from obama."
JT spews this kind of crap in front of God and everyone and then asserts that Obama is scary. Talk about scary!
Senator McCain said this about Senator Obama...
Submitted by The Original Yoda on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 12:17am."But I have to tell you, I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.” ...just last week.
THAT is actual straight-talk.
PS: Senator McCain also said that Senator Obama is a decent, family-man and also referred to him as a citizen.
Also, I am with you in your concern for the middle class. John McCain doesn't seem to talk about the middle class much. So far, in two debates, McCain has not used the term once. Barack Obama has on several occasions.
Peace to you and yours, neighbor.

I'm not sure why
Submitted by CIAGuy on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 8:56pm.we need to be afraid of liberals, they weren't the ones who got us into this mess.
As for ACORN, McCain was for 'em before he was against them.
The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida. The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted Acorn member, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the SEIU, and other groups. McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was the headliner. Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with the photo, "It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-income Americans." "We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration reform," she said.
Brush it off...
