"Will the MSM get around to exploring Obama's radical roots and abiding ideology? A few more candid statements from the candidate along the lines of his "clinging to religion" remark, might just force the media's hand."

 Good question...Is the MSM going to continue ignoring the elephant in the room?

Obama is so far left that he's making Hillary look like a moderate.  Even though people can't stand her royal deceitfulness these kinds of comments might keep her in the race a little longer...Dems are imploding because of all this.  Obama just insulted 3/4's of the country with his elitist arrogance.

This is the time for McCain to make a stand for middle America and conservative values.  He could have a landslide if he would.

The contrast between Hillary Clinton's method of deceit and Barack Obama's method of deceit is very instructive, and frightening. Hillary Clinton (and Bill) are straightforward liars. They lie. And when they get caught (happening more and more) they use some lame excuse like "I misspoke".

Obama on the other hand, and his enablers, use the "out of context" excuse. Insulting. They attempt to make YOU believe that if you were more thoughtful or more careful, you would understand and agree with what Obama said. In other words, you're stupid for misunderstanding what Obama meant.

Hillary Clinton's brand of deceit, straightforward lying, relies on enablers and the media to give her a pass.

Barack Obama's brand of deceit, you didn't understand the entire context, relies on the belief that his listeners are stupid.

Both methods of deceit are unacceptable for a wannabe President; however, Obama's brand of deceit is far more insulting.

I have been saying that Obama is a Communist since the middle of last year, when he finally started talking some specifics about this "Change" he wants to make to America. I have yet to see anything on video or in words that refutes my assertion.

This is serious stuff, yet it is completely ignored in the media.

Mark, the answer to you last question is, "No." They know he is a Communist, but their Liberal White Guilt won't allow them to mention it.

I'm clinging to religion... sorry, must be because I'm a typical white person!

Unlike Barack Oblarney, who only clings to his religion teacher, the Racist Wright!

By the way... about those bitter white voters being anti-free trade... I thought that was Barack's position?

He's against NAFTA and the freetrade agreement with Columbia, currently under siege from typical commie dictators and narco-terrorists.

And as for bitter, man have you heard your wife recently Barack? She's got a chip on both shoulders, and a foot in her mouth. That's hard.

Hey... I wonder if Michael Vick is a typical black person?

The funny thing is, Democrats seriously think this guy can win the general. 

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

What in hell does "clinging to guns" mean.

Wondering if all of obama's mentors influenced him? 

All you have to do is look at Obama's interview with CNBC's Maria Bartiromo. Link:  http://www.cnbc.com/id/23835435Obama Obama continuously uses thinly veiled language like "creating a tax code that is more equitable"or "those of us in the upper brackets have benefited disproportionately from a globalized economy."

It's all there. He is at the very least, a far left Democrat. Unfortunately I feel that based on his mentors and relationships with his church he is more of a socialist that feels that the only solution is wealth redistribution and government controll through taxation of assetts as to create some artificial equality.

Hopefully someone out there will "Swift-Commie" Obama since McCain seems hell bent on some "Play nice" campain.

Honesstly, when was the last time someone made hilary look moderate?

Well done, Mark. I hope you've indeed started the ball rolling on Obama's Marxist ideology. And I hope John McCain's campaign is saving up all of these Obama's "slips" in order to make the case against him for the general election. McCain better take the gloves off by then.

I am the exotic Queen Mum, and I approved this message.

Anybody else see this today? 'The Company He Keeps' by Andrew McCarthy: http://tinyurl.com/65fqgs

Scary that anyone outside the extreme left would considering voting for this guy. Nauseating to watch the major networks completely ignore these issues, while leading with stories like "McCain mispeaks".

I predict the absolute free pass for Obama (or outright endorsement in the case of MS-NBC) will continue through election day.

Nothing surprising about Bambi heading off to Frisco to badmouth white folk.

Funny though, there isn't much in that little snippet that couldn't refer to his own racist pity party in Chicago.

Is that your idea of a dialogue on race Obama?

"What was Barack Obama doing seeking out Marxist professors in college?  Why did Obama choose a Communist Party USA member as his socio- political counselor in high school?  Why was he spending his time studying neocolonialism and the writings of Frantz Fanon, the pro-violence author of "the Communist Manifesto of neocolonialsm", in college?  Why did he take time out from his studies at Columbia to attend socialist conferences at Cooper Union?"

An excellent article detailing the Socialism of Obama's father and it's influence on the son.

RRAM Tough! 

Obama is straight out of Marx...his wife too as far as I am concerned.

The more they open mouths...the more they prove the point.

Keep yapping you arrogant two...all of your msm surrogates and the minions who toil for you aren't going to be able to undue this...video clips are coming to a television near you if he wins the general election.

Heck, we even now have Hillary embracing the 2nd Amendment...that was before she was against it doncha' ya know...

...but he won't back down according to leftist in love like Cowan...he is right doncha' know...people are bitter bitter bitter out in the heartland....he really thinks people are going to forget his elitist leftist words.

The Fool.

I love the show though...it is gettin' better and better.

"It's not surprising that they get bitter, they cling to . . . religion . . . as a way to explain their frustrations." -- Barack Obama, 2008

Now is that anyway for Barack (redacted) Obama to talk about his wife, his pastor/mentor and fellow members of his Trinity United (in hate) Church?  I'm shocked, discombobulated and.....a little sleepy.

Religion is the opiate of the masses. -- Karl Marx, 1843

Funny how badly ol' Karl got that wrong. Look at the stress it causes in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama might better think through his paraphrases more carefully.

Judge Napolitano said the exact same thing on Fox this morning. He said Obama's take is if there was an equal re-distribution of wealth then nobody would be bitter. That's Marxism and that sort of thing was rejected by the Declaration of Independence.

Speaking for me - Marxist is what Obama is.

There is none so blind as they that won’t see. Jonathan Swift 1667-1745

This story Obama Is A Marxist - So Exactly, What Does That Mean?,

http://reno.broowaha.com/article.php?id=3658

 is just one of several that was published in Broowaha Reno by a writer calling herself Morgana out of Reno, NV.

Did you know that proletarianized means propertyless? In college, I was taught a story about a young writer that was impatiently speaking with T.S. Eliot .  The writer was annoyingly full of himself.  He resentfully complained to Eliot that “it is so pointless to study the thinkers of the past because we know so much more than they.”  Eliot, recognizing the arrogance of ignorance, replied with dry banter, “Yes, they are what we know.” Karl Marx was born in 1818 and died in 1883.  He was a passionate democrat as his life was lived during a bleak industrial period.  That period forged intolerance in Marx.  He grew to feel that he was a spokesman for that time’s victims.  Marx evolved his economic philosophy of the struggle among economic classes. The rich versus the poor.  Marx believed that the ruling economic class always clashes with the ruled economic class. That was, and remains, enough of a belief to alarm “conservatives,” as * hostility by the ruling and anxiety by the ruled is the consequence of economic struggle.  In Marx’s view, with capitalism there is a constant conflict over wages and profits.  Marx diagnosed capitalism as disorderly with an eventual demise.  So what is capitalism?  According to Marx, it is an evolving economic system.  It is an evolving economic system that legally accords the right of ownership to all persons.   It is an evolving economic system that legally accords the right of ownership to all persons via a market.  It is an evolving economic system that legally accords the right of ownership to all persons via a market with the right to enter into legal contracts.  The result is that a capitalist worker has the legal right to work how, when and where they choose.  That is a radical and very young sentiment in the history of mankind.  It brought quarrels often escalating into wars, two of them world-wide, uncertainty, individual suffering, rapid development, freedom, accomplishment, and a continuing tension between the economic drive of laissez-faire and the political orientation of intervention. In a market system, people freely respond to the opportunities and discouragement of economic activities; that is business affairs, financial etc.  Capitalism means that there is a market with a regular flow of wealth into production.  Charging or paying interest, which used to be a sin in some societies, and remains so in the Muslim religion, suddenly pumped immense wealth into production.  Land, labor and capital are the factors of production.  Before capitalism, land, labor and capital were not commodities for sale in a command economic system.  Land was once only the basis for military or civil administration’s power.  Labor was once only the unpaid social duty of serfs and slaves.  Capital was once only a craftsman’s tools.  Capitalism developed out of the holes in the medieval system.  Land became real estate with its bundle of rights.  Labor was divorced from social standing.  Capital transformed treasure.  A market is a powerful force for the vast accumulation of capital and wealth.  Marx saw that force had an exigency or a collapse everywhere in it. A market is an inefficient system for supplying goods and services with no price tag, such as public health, public education, public law enforcement, public defense, public infrastructure, public recreation, and government.  The reason is that a market society underallocates resources to them because there is no means of bidding funds into them.  Markets promote inequities.  A market is a devoted servant of the wealthy.  It is indifferent to the poor.  There is no justice or fairness in a market. Marx believed that economic instability just kept increasing once the middle economic class was gone. Time proved Marx correct in that theory.  In the United States, the 1980s were the crucial economic turnabout of wealth.  At an intense pace, the deliberate war on labor erupted.  Unpaid labor grew as labor lost most of its income.  The economist Wallace Peterson has called it a “silent depression .”  Marx saw surplus value, also known as unpaid labor, as the source of profit.  According to Marx, unpaid labor is the built-in instability of capitalism as it results in two economic classes with the rich versus the poor.  Did you know that proletarianized means propertyless?  Marx believed that proletarianized people become embittered people.  Because crisis is the norm of capitalism according to Marx, little businesses do not survive the crisis so the trend is to ever increasing big ** corporations.  Time proved Marx correct also in that theory. So exactly, how do these opinions of Karl Marx make Obama a Marxist? Economics is just another tool for us to intelligently make our way through life.  It helps us to be better citizens, workers, investors, and voters.  It’s not about one particular point of view.  It is about teaching rather than preaching to arrive at an informed opinion to better shape our private and public destinies.  Economics is many opinions.  They are controversial opinions at best, always evolving at worst.  Economic opinions are not put forth as The One and Only Truth though.  Although I do not agree with nor support the monetarist views of Milton Friedman , I do find a statement of his to be true: “We are all Keynesians now.”  John Maynard Keynes made an even severer diagnosis of capitalism than Marx ever did.  Keynes predicted something that I believe we are today living in – stagflation , a subject in itself for another article, supporting again the argument for using government to represent the interests of the future to the present. * Witness Dick Cheney’s “Fuck You” retort .** I believe that the concept of a corporation is questionable at best. Readings:  The Marx-Engels Reader, Tucker; Economics, Third Edition, Solomon
