Gateway Pundit has a 1995 video of Barack Obama blaming white executives in the suburbs for not wanting their taxes to help black children.

I’m sure he’s changed his mind since, though, right?

[Late morning update]

Barack Obama’s redistributionist obsession:

I suggest henceforth that every time readers hear the word “change” from Team Obama, they insert the work “redistributive” in front of it.

Indeed. He said those words in 2001. Why should we think that he’s changed since? Particularly after his Freudian slip with Joe the Plumber?

[Update early afternoon]

Goody. Here’s some more race transcendance: white people shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Whenever I hear nutty proposals like this, I always wonder, who will decide who is and isn’t “white”? Does Barack Obama get half a vote?

…by John McCain on Meet The Press this morning, though he didn’t press it home–he only mentioned the name in passing, and didn’t point out the connection, apparently assuming that most viewers would get it.

Bernie Sanders is an avowed socialist (I’m not sure about the Senate, but as a member of the House he ran as one, but caucused with the Democrats). McCain pointed out that the number one, two and three senators listed as the most liberal are Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden. How far are his votes or views from Barack Obama and Joe Biden?

A suggested McCain campaign ad: “Barack Obama, despite his statement to Joe the Plumber that the wealth should be “spread around,” complains when he is therefore called a socialist. But his brief Senate voting record is to the left of that of Bernie Sanders, who proudly calls himself a socialist. So what does that make Barack Obama?”

He did something else that was good. He pointed out that Michigan is a poster child for the kinds of policies that will result from an Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime. High taxes, more power to unions, big-spending Dems in charge, and the state has (in many cases literally) gone south.

Put together an ad describing Michigan’s straits and the causes, and point out that this is what the OPR regime has planned for the entire country. It would even help him in Michigan.

Why should we believe CNN?

They, and much of the media, have done much to earn our distrust.

Bill Whittle wonders. So do I. You’d think that the media might spare a couple reporters from the Wasilla Library beat to ask him. At least you’d like to think.

Michael Malone is ashamed to be a journalist.

Someone needs to run some ads about the Obama’s Khalidi connection in south Florida. Obama was a lot older than eight when Khalidi was expressing support of Hamas. I don’t think that the Jews down here understand just what a disaster Obama may be for Israel. Worse than Jimmy Carter.

[Early afternoon update]

Stanley Kurtz has more.

If John McCain were doing this, the press would be crying bloody murder:

He may now be running the biggest underground finance operation since Nixon deployed the plumbers as his key operatives in 1972.

And there seem to be a lot of parallels with the voter registration fraud being perped by ACORN. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

And of course, if McCain ends up losing this because he didn’t have enough money, it will be justice, because it was his idiotic assault on the First Amendment that got us here.
