Hey Obots! Get The Hell Out Of Our Faces!

In Barack Obama, Politics on October 26, 2008 at 11:02 pm

This lovely, yet typical, email was received by and posted on over on PUMA Pac.  Hardly persuasive, one can only hope that these sorts of communications are somebody’s idea of a joke.  However, given the kinds of emails, photos and comments often illustrated on other PUMA friendly sites, like HillBuzz and Cannonfire, it’s far more likely that whoever composed and distributed this, with the subject line, “You need some penis,” was dead serious:

Why don't you bitter lonely chicks give this crap up?
Obama will be your President so bend over and enjoy it
If Obama was a socialist/terrorist why do so many Americans support him
Bill and Hill
Al gore
Colin Powell
Dick Lugar
Scott McCllelan sic
Chris Buckley
Etc. Are all these people stupid?

Face it, you are a bitter broad who is upset your candidate lost and now support
Palin who goes against all of Hillarys views. She does have a pussy though. So I
guess she qualified
What a bunch of stupid irrational BITCHES you are

And you should be ashamed the way you con these maladjusted chicks. out of their
money. I bet you have made a nice comeup huh?

And now, a couple of examples cited on Cannonfire, in a post entitled “Let’s Look At The History,” this one sent to radio talk show host, Steve Corbett:

In the thousands of emails I’ve received in the year that “Corbett” has been on the air, I have not received a single death threat – until yesterday.

“We will kill you when Obama become PRESIDENT OF USA.,” the email reads. “You would see!!!”

Most death threats do not result in death.

But some do.

What makes this threat to kill me all the more mysterious is that it appears to have been sent through Barack Obama’s official campaign website – barackobama.com – the website that sends me official announcements of Obama’s campaign comings and goings.

Another one, supposedly also sent from Obama’s official website, re: Hillary Clinton:

“Just slit her throat, lock her in a car boot, and drive the car into river in West Virginia. Ain’t gonna let no whore screw with the man”

And people wonder why we found Ashley Todd believable.  I don’t support McCain/Palin, but behavior like this should not be rewarded.  For people like me, who are uncomfortable voting for McCain, but can’t see themselves voting for Obama under any circumstances, this stuff turns a third party vote into a “screw you back” vote.  Too many of those and polls become meaningless.

Who’s Chief Editor Sammy Korir?

In Barack Obama, Politics on October 26, 2008 at 7:50 pm

Is this him?  The picture on the left is from a Dagbladet.no newspaper article referred to me by a commenter identifying him(her?)self as “umm yeah” in the comment section of my post, entitled African Press International Conference Call.  “Chief Editor Sammy Korir” is the supposed editor of African Press International, a WordPress website claiming to be based in Norway and in possession of potentially explosive audio tapes of Michelle Obama.  API now claims to have reached an agreement with an American cable news company for the release of these tapes:

We hope our readers understand how difficult some negotiations can be especially when there are considerations to be taken into acount�as a result of wishes of the people involved. However, things have moved very fast and we can now confirm that API is in agreement with A US Cable TV Network and the Michelle Obama tapes will be aired without unnecessary delay.

However, the Norwegian news report seems to indicate that Mr. Korir has a history of misrepresenting himself.  The translated-into-English article is rather difficult to follow, but as near as I can figure, Dagbladet says that Korir’s claims of being some sort of agent for some kind of police agency, are untrue.  Mr. Korir has asserted on his website that he has been in contact with the CIA regarding the Michelle Obama tapes.  The Dagbladet story calls all that into question, though:

Sammy Korir will not talk to Dagbladet, but in a letter to several chief says he openly that he has been with the Police Immigration Unit (PU) from February 2007, and until he said the job and ended as police agent at the end of April this year.

While police servants in the PU failed to identify the African asylum seekers in Norway, will Korir soon identified many of the African men – and got them out of the country.

Korir has traveled around in Norway and abroad with its own police ID issued by the Immigration Police unit. This has happened without the senior leadership team of PU have been aware that Korir operated for the police.

It is entirely possible that I have misinterpreted the translated article; I encourage anyone interested in the story to follow this link and read it for themselves.  I have chronicled events from the beginning, anyone who wants to can search my archives for African Press International or follow the link I’ve provided to their website for more information.  Or, you can just kick back with a beer and watch TV.

African Press International Conference Call

In Politics on October 26, 2008 at 4:01 pm

The editor of The African Press International website, known as Chief Editor Korir, is inviting any and all to join him in an “online discussion” (whatever that is) at 16:15 Norwegian time (whenever that is) to discuss the Michelle Obama “leave my husband the hell alone” tapes he claims to possess.  In case you’re interested (still) here’s the info:

We have noted your concern as readers. It is important that you understand�we are doing our best and our interest is to ensure that we do the right thing so that nobody handling or who has handled the tapes gets hurt. It serves no purpose to continue speculating whether we have the tapes or not, or whether we are genuine or not.

The answer is simple: The tapes exists and will be aired. We also�want you to know that we are genuine in all this and API has had not intention to mislead anyone. The truth of the matter is that there has been a delay, yes we understand, but there is nothing wrong being careful in situations like this one.

There is no question in our minds that you as a reader understand why it is important to� be careful when dealing with information that touches on the security situation of any nation.

There has been a lot of pressure from the readers and the same from those who represent Nations in question. API has to way and balance its act so that nobody is put into an embarrassing situation and for that matter danger to any ones life.

We are not about to drop airing the tapes. It will be done even if some continue to place obstacles on our way.

If you want to join in our short discussion at 16.15 Norwegian time, please email us on africanpress@getmail.no and place your number so that we can call you. Your number and name will not be made public in any way.

�If you join, it cost you nothing at all to participate!

PUMAs Seen Biden Movie Before, Too

In Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Politics on October 26, 2008 at 2:57 pm

Apparently Team Obama/Biden has their knickers in a twist about an interview Biden graciously gave to a spiteful inquisitor who unfairly asked questions she should have known Joe would rather not be asked.  Questions a Republican, or anybody who challenged the “inevitable” Obama/Biden coronation might ask, instead of the “how can I help you make your case to the American people?” questions they usually get.  This is clearly not acceptable, as we who opposed Senator Obama in the primaries know all too well.

Predictably, the Obamanation has lashed out at WFTV’s treacherous infidel, Barbara West with a vengeance.  She, as well as her employers have been cut off from access to anyone associated with Camp O for the duration.  In canceling an upcoming Jill Biden interview, the campaign said this:

“This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election,” wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Why did Barack Obama’s campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited “an unprofessional interview” WFTV’s Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama’s campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was “both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts.” Marsh said West’s insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was “100 percent false.” “In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism,” Marsh wrote. West said, “I think I asked him some pointed questions. . . . I don’t think I was rude or inconsiderate to him.” –

The Huffington Post said, “no fair,” but really the whole thing is reminiscent of another Obama “no fair” incident.  Remember the Philadelphia debate?

The ABC moderators found themselves under fire for focusing on campaign gaffes and training most of their ammunition on Obama. Huffington Post blogger Jason Linkins called the debate “utterly asinine.” Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called the duo’s performance “despicable.” Philadelphia Daily News columnist Will Bunch said the moderators “disgraced the American voters, and in fact even disgraced democracy itself.”

The Obama campaign issued a statement blaming anybody but Obie for his “performance”

“Tonight we saw a real choice between the old politics of point-scoring and distraction and a politics that focuses on bringing us together to actually solve the challenges we talk about every single election.  Continuing the theme of her campaign, Senator Clinton used every single opportunity she had to launch misleading attack after misleading attack against Barack Obama, which is why polls show that most Americans think she’s running the most negative campaign and don’t believe she’s trustworthy.  Barack Obama spoke about the issues that actually matter in people’s lives, like how he plans to end the war in Iraq, cut middle-class taxes, help people stay in their homes, and provide a secure retirement for our seniors.  That’s why more Americans are putting their trust in Barack Obama to bring about the change we need in Washington.”

Next, Obama brushed it off:

Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., both literally and figuratively, tried to brush off a rough performance after Wednesday night’s debate on ABC.

Then, the cut-off:

Barack Obama, in his first appearance on “FOX News Sunday,” says there will be no more debates before the two May 6 primaries despite repeated challenges from Hillary Clinton to meet him face-to-face.

That Obama/Biden team, fool them once, shame on you.  Fool them twice…ain’t gonna happen.  You won’t get another chance.  They’ll see to that.

McCain Guarantees Victory? No

In Politics on October 26, 2008 at 11:44 am

The stupid media is at it again.  Do they think we can’t read?  Obviously, they think we’re stupid.   Headlines everywhere are screaming, McCain Guarantees Victory.   Here’s the quote from Politico:

“I guarantee you that two weeks from now, you will see this has been a very close race, and I believe that I’m going to win it,” McCain told interim “Meet” moderator Tom Brokaw. “We’re going to do well in this campaign, my friend. We’re going to win it, and it’s going to be tight, and we’re going to be up late.”

He guaranteed a close race.  He believed he would win.

I guarantee you that most people are stupid enough to buy this crap.  I believe they should be smacked.

Cinie Guarantees People Will Be Smacked

Gee whiz, people.

PUMAs Seen Palin Movie Before

In Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Politics on October 26, 2008 at 3:37 am

She’s a witch, she’s incompetent, she’s inexperienced, she’s entitled, she’s Hillary Clinton, she’s Sarah Palin, she’s…any woman with the nerve, the temerity, the unmitigated gall, the huevos to actually challenge Barack Obama.  How dare she?  Who does she think she is?  Doesn’t she know who he is?  How come she’s not fainting?  Hasn’t she seen his crotch?

We supporters of Hillary Clinton for president have seen this movie before, up close and personal, in black and white, in living color.  In fact, everybody’s seen it, the same tactics are used against anyone, male or female, unwilling to act like they’re dying to fellate the Democratic candidate  at the drop of a hat.

You can’t blame Obama for generating this media-enforced, mandatory, must-jock-Barack, love doctrine all on his own, rather, it seems that the subconscious fantasies of the press, blogosphere and fan base also power this love train.  “As badly as I want to do him, why don’t you?  What’s wrong with you?  You must be gay!  Or just really, really mean!  Or, worse, a stupid girl, who only cares about herself!  Nobody likes you anyway!”

Now Palin is bearing the brunt of the attack.  According to CNN, Palin-hate has entered the “diva” phase.

McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls — recorded messages often used to attack a candidate’s opponent — “irritating” even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign’s decision to pull out of Michigan.

A second McCain source says she appears to be looking out for herself more than the McCain campaign.

“She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone,” said this McCain adviser. “She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

“Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom.”

Been there, done that:

There is something weird going here.  Hillary is the diva, the fabulous woman who is fabulous just because she says so.  She’s the woman who is abused (by her husband), ridiculed (by the press), hated (by Republican mouth-breathers), yet she’s still standing.  She’s like from some exploitation film where the heroine is beaten and barely raped before pulling a knife out of her sock and slicing the mean guy’s balls off.  Her supporters have stood by her and fought her battles with her – and sometimes for her – since the 1990s.  The emotional connection runs too deep.  R-e-s-p-e-c-t, she shakes her finger.  Find out what it means to me.  And the crowd eats it up.

Next thing you know, somebody will claim McCain is a “girly-man” who thinks he’s entitled to be president.
