Glorious Leader Gap: Remember When Obama Advertised Endorsement of the New Black Panthers?

This famous YouTube video was just brought to my attention through Twitter. It is a reminder that back in 2008 the Obama campaign got in trouble for advertising its linkage to the New Black Panther party. Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is not giving this story much attention. It is, nevertheless, all over Twitter, YouTube and Fox News. Thankfully, we live in a market economy with many channels of information.

As one of the people who knew the young Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College, I can truthfully relate that I so no signs of hatred towards white people when I met him. This observation, of course, is out of line with Obama’s own description of his early years in his first book, Dreams from My Father.

My take is that Obama embraced the racial hatred of Rev. Wright and others only after he graduated from Columbia University. All in all, I think it is deeply disturbing that Obama’s administration did not take more action to punish the New Black Panther party for its voter intimidation practices in 2008. Obama’s links to this organization deserve greater media attention… Obama Campaign in Trouble with Endorsement from New Black Panthers

You know I have to be one of your biggest fans John.

I wish the justice system would put the blindfold back on and help to restore this country’s return to ethics. There is already sufficient evidence on many issues that would force Obama’s day in court. By now you and I would be hanging from a yard arm if there were such a compelling case against us.

Fear for the day: Obama impeached, Biden incapacitated due to illness? The answer is?

My fear is that tyrants always seem to look like idiots and fools to outside observers. Just because they laugh and joke doesn’t mean they are not potential murderers willing to follow through on their outspoken rhetoric. There are videos of Hitler laughing about Israel, Idi Amin acting normal, and Pol Pot being a normal guy. I think monsters are more complex than people realize…

All of this is right in our face, and Obama is getting away with it. Where is the Republican Conservative Governors/Senators outrage…?
No matter how much American’s don’t want to believe it, our country has been highjacked by criminals on both sides. Greedy thieves who want power and a NWO…! Wake up America, without God we are not blessed… Without God fearing leaders we will
lose our Freedoms/Liberty and our country will be cursed. Right now the only Republican/conservative I have any respect for is the Governor of Arizona fighting
to close our borders and stop illegals.
The black panthers are fools for Obama but when the
money runs out, he’s gonna spit on them too…
Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread.

It continues simply because our so called leaders have nothing to fear..the even walk the streets…freely at that.
Take “Etheridge(sp)” for example.If he would have grabbed a MAN his ass would be in the prone position on the sidewalk…he grabbed a Kid,and that`s a perfect example of the courage our so called leaders poses.
