Earlier today, I considered — then discarded — the notion of blogging about the “Socialists for Obama” community blog at MyBarackObama spewing paranoid bile about “the Jewish lobby.” The MyBO crew duly removed the post first noted by Doug Ross.
But the MyBO people took longer to purge the post about “The Israeli Connection to 9/11”:
And as I write this, the blog still has posted “An open letter to our next president Barack Obama”:
Juan gave the same book a rave review at Amazon, along with kind words for a couple of Truther tomes and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Also up at the moment is a post on how “The Israeli Lobby did a good job at promoting Hillary in Kentucky”:
The Zionist press likely did so because Clinton is a “Corporate Zionist” herself:
Granted, it is tough to argue with the “liar” accusation, but it should be pretty easy for the MyBO web crew to read a screen of postings once the original bile has been identified. Thus, one wonders why Barack Obama is so keen to keep the “Socialists for Obama” community blog on his website. Or maybe not.
Update: Newsbusters collects various LGF posts on similar wacky MyBO material.
Karl,
They should pay you for policing their site.
I’m not putting up the actual links unless they do pay me. ;-)
O! has problems delegating the supervision of a blog and people think he can be President?
Supervising one’s website is a distraction that does not help Michelle’s children. He’s really just after the contact info.
“That’s not the blog that I knew”
Heh. Indeed.
– I do believe there will be a lot of “contacts” he will be seeking less and less over the next few months. It must be a real bitch to be a shunned reject among your own enclave.
So where do the Paulbots & Obamabots go now?
Where do they go?
Where do the go now?…
– Ah the big tent…Ain’t diversity grand.
– Can the whack-O!-nutz go a whole day without slipping at least one bag of burning poo on O’s front step?
– The only way they could have timed it worse would have been to post the day he spoke at AIPAC. Johnson needs to make sure McCains people have copies of all of it.
– And just wait until the hardcore Hillery supporters start torpedoing his campaign. I simply do not believe that all 18 million of her voters are going to go quietly into that good night.
Karl,
It is interesting to watch this topic and its propagation through the web. Now Powerline and Dr. Reynolds have linked it will be interesting to see where it goes.
During my cousin’s wedding reception yesterday, I can say that the ‘G-D America’ hit a chord, though not in a way that Sen. Obama would like. There are a lot of Truman-Kennedy liberals out there still, and the Rev. Wright did not play well with them.
There are a lot of Truman-Kennedy liberals out there still
This is why I have a lot of trouble believing O! will win. On top of the fact that the MSM has, in the past, done such a bang up job of promoting McCain as a non-traditional Republican.
Yeah it will be “interesting” to see where this goes. Keep it up, freaks.
[…] Ross, Protein Wisdom, Rezko Watch, Powerline, Atlas Shrugs, Rhymes With Right, LGF, Michelle Malkin, Macsmind, and Hot […]
LGF has a towering mountain of nerve posting about ANYONE’S crazy comments, being that they are the Central Galactic Nerve Center for Crazies, Fuckheads, and Cranks.
Keep it up, freaks.
O!’s website is filled unsavory posts. They are noted. But the ones who note these posts are the freaks.
I guess that makes sense. Somewhere. To someone.
No way O! would tolerate anything to do with anti-Semitism. Geez, you’d think he supported Calypso Louie or something.
“Yeah it will be “interesting†to see where this goes. Keep it up, freaks.”
Lisa – Do you need the url to send your comment to Obama’s site where it belongs?
I’m fairly sure Charles Johnson is not running for president. And in my visits to LGF, I have yet to see anyone buying into anything of the magnitude of the “Mossad did 9/11” stuff. To the contrary, I have seen LGF get into blogwars with supporters of Vlaams Belang. And I find plenty of nutty commenters at HuffPo, dKos and the Washington Post. There’s plenty of competition, depending on one’s viewpoint.
These are not the same Socialists for Obama that Obama knew.
Also, I would note that I somewhat agree with the notion that a blog should not be judged by its commenters in general.
However, commenters are relevant in some contexts.
For example, the reason I finally decided to do this post was that all of the posts you see above were not only part of the same blog as the one MyBO deleted, but were on the same web page. This was no Sherlock Holmes job on my part. That those posts were still up — that Juan Carlos still has a blog there — tells you the MyBO people are either sloppy or down with bashing “the Israel lobby.” Or both.
What about Jemaah Islamiyah? Even if it’s a crank, it’s been up there for a week.
These are not the same radical bombers who murdered hundreds of innocent people that I once knew.
Karl: You and your sycophants have jumped the shark on this one. But I still admire you. You have a keen intellect and I enjoy your posts immensely. But I suspect you are brilliant in a John Forbes Nash kind of way. So I am just going to ignore this post and hope that your synapses start firing correctly in a few hours.
Lisa: How can you justify all that radical bullshit of O’s site? Ignoring it is not an answer.
Am I one of Karl’s sycophants? Please?
This is a great opportunity for everyone to see how a zealot works and how so many people are anxious to find dirt where there is none. The board where this garbage was posted is a community board and anyone can post there and it sometimes takes a while to police every single entry. Someone named Brother Nathanael Kapner who left his screed at the Senator’s web community runs his own web site called Real Jew News – http://www.realjewnews.com/
Some of the stories over there include the following,
“McCain Bought By Jews Via Rothschilds!â€Â
“OBAMA PANDERS TO THE JEWS
By Brother Nathanael Kapner – Copyright © 2008 ”
“BIG BROTHER JEW is watching you my fellow Americans. And Big Brother Jew resides at US Homeland Security.”
“JEWS DESPISE CHRISTIANS. Now that the Christian candidate, Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas, has won the Republican Iowa caucuses, the Jews have fired up their propaganda machine against him.”
“THE JEWISH STRANGLEHOOD ON THE MEDIA HAS GOT TO STOP!†said Billy Graham in a 1972 conversation with President Nixon.
“Will Hilary Clinton Be The Next Jewish Presidentâ€Â
If anyone cares about the truth you might want to visit this guys site. he is not exactly playing with a full deck. To blame Obama or anyone that runs a community board for everything a passing nut says is a little unfair don’t you think.
Ahem there is no justification. But you can’t link it to Obama either. It is just plain stupid, cockamamie, and generally fucktardish. You know, in Web 2.0, people get to say and type whatever the fuck they want. And if you are on someone else’s web “community” that person can scrub your crazy shit if they find it offensive.
Agreed Winston.
And in this case, they ought to, but haven’t.
it’s not so much that I think O! agrees with this stuff, it’s just fun to watch them provide something for free and watch the crazies take advantage of it. cause THAT’s NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! Kerry’s site had the same problem back in 2004 as well. Dems just didn’t learn from that.
“Dems just didn’t learn from that.”
Sure they did. They learned that they could disavow it and get away with. It’s subtle signaling like BHO’s dissing gesture towards Clinton – he knew what he was doing then and he knows what he’s doing now. He lied through his teeth to AIPAC and now he lets all the “right thinking prog” know he was just funnin’. Again.
That, or he’s an incompetent fool, incapable of effectively running an organization that is infinitesimally small in comparison to the Executive Branch.
2 will getcha 5 that heads will be rolling and apologies will be flying out of Obama blogland this coming week.
Dear Lisa,
“LGF has a towering mountain of nerve posting about ANYONE’S crazy comments, being that they are the Central Galactic Nerve Center for Crazies, Fuckheads, and Cranks.”
Two words of cordial advice taken directly from a moonbat’s parade sign:
JUST POOP.
Trust me, you’ll feel much better about yourself, and the rest of the world, in the morning.
#33: That is quite the jump. His blog has a few cranks and fools on it, so he will not be able to run the executive office. I see.
You might be right. People said that since Bush didn’t know how to differentiate a country from a continent or complete a sentence without fucking it up, he oulddn’t possibly run a hotdog stand at a flea market, let alone the country. I thought that was quite a leap. But maybe there is something to this method of determining presidential competence.
As always, it has been a pleasure. See you tomorrow, comrades.
Goodnight Lisa.
I hope you are more pleasant in the morning and realize the error of your ways. There are more than a few fools and crazies on Obama’s blog. Some of that shit has been up there since April.
Sleep well beyotch!
I’ve gotta say that after all of the attention today, it’s kind of interesting that what appears to be the first post from “Juan Carlos” has either been missed or deemed not offensive: Can we change this system with elections?
“Can we vote for socialists into Congress and the White House and they’ll pass socialist laws for us? Can we get from capitalism to socialism in gradual increments? The answer to first question is no. The answer to the second question is also no.”
But how? The answer is at Juan’s link:
“So if we want to change the system at a fundamental level, we can’t settle for reforms. What we need is a revolution. Capitalism, which is based on the exploition and oppression of the many by the few, cannot be reformed, it must be overthrown.”
So, nothing offensive about that. That Constitution thing is just an old piece of paper. Where’s my Che beret?
Lisa,
Again, I’m setting a very low bar of expectation for MyBO. Other people highlighted the first two posts by this wackjob, and MyBO doesn’t check the rest of the wackjob’s page? It took me about a minute to scroll through, tops.
Does Obama or MyBO hold all of this wackjob’s opinions? IMO, no. Was this sloppy work by MyBO at a minimum? Yes. Does Camp Obama have people advisers who don’t care much at all for the Israel lobby? Yes.
But I now may have to do a follow-up post to explain this further.
Lisa,
As with similar threads, I would add (as others have) that I don’t assume other O! supporters (like you) hold Juan Carlos-esque views either, though there are more of them at MyBO than you might think.
Another thread not worth reading. Keep up the hard work, Karl.
And yet you’re here. Is it a compulsion, or are you getting paid?
You know, in Web 2.0, people get to say and type whatever the fuck they want.
Yes, and in Reality 1.0, it’s incredibly stupid for a candidate for political office to stick his brand name on a no-rules sandbox for them to do it in.
thor: Feel free to fuck off–please.
or at least shine up MjO!lnir so that His Halo can reflect resplendantly across His Future Socialist Land.
Now the left blogs are busily collecting weird stuff from John McCain’ site.
MayBee – Isn’t their standard that it is racist to hold a candidate to account for what is found on his website?
#49: Nope. They are just doing tit for tat. And these are not sugartits or tats either. Prepare yourselves for a long, arduous Summer of the Pointed Fingers and Neener Neeners.
#50
Brilliant
We will not discuss sugartits, tits, or tats without links, Lisa. How many time do I have to tell you ? ;-)
All this talk of sugartits. Are we talking glazed? Sprinkled? Powdered sugar? These are important considerations.
[…] comments have been down and even Google has been scrubbed (how do you do that?), but it seems many got the screen-catches and so […]
Smeared with honey.
I zapped Ed Brill and messed up people’s comment number references.
I denounce myself.
