Media Research Center Founder and President L. Brent Bozell, III today demanded the press report on damning new evidence of Illinois Democratic Senator and Presidential nominee Barack Obama's radical views on how we need to "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution" because it "doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf." In tearing away from the Constitution, Sen. Obama says he seeks to achieve "social justice" through "redistributive change."
In the 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview, the audio of which has just surfaced, Sen. Obama laments that "the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society."
The media have refused to report on or obfuscated what has now become a series of comments from Sen. Obama that indicate a radical outlook on America, wealth redistribution and the courts. He famously told "Joe the Plumber" (Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) that we need to "spread the wealth around." On his nominees for the courts, he said "We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. And that's the criteria by which I'm going to be selecting my judges."
Brent Bozell:
"Is the liberal media finally going to put up, or will they continue to shut up on behalf of Sen. Barack Obama? The evidence of his radical views keeps mounting, yet the press remains steadfastly silent.
"To the liberal media I say: if you're not totally in the tank for Sen. Obama, prove it. Report this latest evidence of the Senator, in his own words, describing his radical view of and for America. An outlook that has him standing in direct opposition to our founding fathers and the vast majority of Americans today.
"The liberal media must end their willful silence on Sen. Obama's radical views. The evidence is there, again, for the taking. It's time the press did something with it. We will monitor who does - and doesn't - cover this story, and we'll document it."

Watch the Interview
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:26 ET by nofateIt can be seen here. It is chilling in it's direction for the country if this man gets elected. It is now clear that he was not some wandering waif that just got scooped up by Ayers and Wright, etc.

If McCain wants this out
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:32 ET by Chris Norman"We will monitor who does - and doesn't - cover this story, and we'll document it."
That won't get it played though. Documenting it, at this point, is just an intellectual excercise.
If McCain wants this out there for all to hear, he's going to have to purchase the appropriate ad time on television, at the same time across the country, to play the damning clip. If he waits for the media, it will never be heard - except on Fox News.

R.I.P. "MSM News " as a news Source
Hope you can find Jobs in the NEW MEDIA guys. . . Its tough for CROOKS to find new Jobs.
Ad in the New York Times?
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:29 ET by Anchor89Since the televised MSM doesn't report anything that doesn't appear in the New York Times first, maybe someone who wants to keep what money they have left should buy an ad in the NYT with nothing but Obama quotes from this interview....
The only other option is to get Elizabeth Hasselback (sp?) to talk about this on The View - if she can get a word in edgewise among those harpies.

Uh, from WHAT, for starters!
Is the next office he's going to run for "King of the World"???

CNN Site
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:39 ET by TechI've been looking for this item on CNN's web site, and it isn't there. They are still hyping about Gov. Palin "going rogue" and "off-topic" and have absolutely nothing on this story.
This is a very important story, and it looks like the MSM is going to sit on it until after the election. Amazing.
"...and it looks like the
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:49 ET by Chris Norman"...and it looks like the MSM is going to sit on it until after the election. "
Do you really think the MSM will mention this - even after the election? You better lay down and have something cool to drink. At this point, I'm willing to believe, that four months into the Obama administation, we could have that terrorist attack that Biden guaranteed and the media will sit on the story to protect him.

Our Future
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 13:46 ET by hatukImagine for a moment; President Obama, Democrate Super Majority in Congress and a Supreme Court with liberal majority. The US Consitution will become a historical document. The Super majority congress passes a bill "you name it," President Obama signs it, if challenged in the courts the Supreme Court rules it consitutional. Game over. The libs could and will do anything they want. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Strong opinions
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 14:00 ET by bschoomOne site (foxnews.com) that has posted the story (thank God)
offers posting space to comment on the reaction to this obama content.
Some of the opinions are understandably strongly opposed to it. One really has to wonder what's in store for the country under this so-called 'visionary's rule'. It may be the start of something very dangerous if he were to proceed with this sort of thing.
"In Depth NEWS" from the MSM is no longer Valid - MSM is invalid
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 14:17 ET by JayTeeZero Credibility on any MSM News and don't tell me you vetted or "Investigated" for the Story.
JOE PLUMBER was Investigated, Sarah's Wardrobe was investigated . . . Obama has an MSM hall pass.
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR MESSIAH......
Mon, 10/27/2008 - 14:46 ET by northone"The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, ugh, and, and more basic issues of political and, ugh, ugh, economic justice in society; and, ugh, to that extent as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren court, ugh, it wasn't that radical."
"It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed, ugh, ugh, by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution."
There you have it, people. It's a tragedy the Supreme Court hasn't redistributed wealth. It's time to break free from those pesky restrictions in the Constitution. The Supreme Court should operate as a super-legislature. It's job should be to radically redistribute the wealth and to socially-engineer society to fit the views of Obama and his Marxist co-horts. If this left-leaning Marxist is elected on November 4 and appoints justices that reflect his views, America, as we know it, is doomed! Be very afraid!

Listen to the clip
