When you put this together, it paints a scary picture. Great article.

Also, this Shauna Daly move makes you wonder what preplanning meeting determined that this was the most effective strategy.

Rocco| 2.18.09 @ 7:08AM

And meanwhile, what passes for the political right in this country rolls on to its collective back and pisses itself in fright. Come on, people, politics is streetfighting. Either grow a pair or get out!!! It's time to give these idiots a taste of their own medicine and then some. Why are people so scared and willing to submit to this bullshit?

Bill Rawlings| 2.18.09 @ 7:13AM

Obama's enemy list is nothing compared to his usefull Idiots list , as long as he has that nothing else really matters , he will be able to do as he pleases

Bill O'Stalin| 2.18.09 @ 7:24AM

As an avowed Communist I find this all rather amusing. Money is no longer the issue in your society. Now it's all about power and amassing power that can't be stopped by simple considerations like your Constitution. It's been pissed away for years by both parties in your country and now you are reaping the whirlwind.

Obama has proven himself a worthy student of power politics and has stepped into a vacuum of leadership in the USA. Obama staffed his administration with crooks and liars because there is no reason for honest people anymore.

When you tell the public the truth you empower them. When you lie to the public you empower the politically elite.

Under the new rules that have descended you now teach a man to fish so that he can feed others until he figures out he's a sucker. Then you tell him he must fish or his health care will be affected. The redistribution of fish becomes the standard.

phaedris| 11.5.09 @ 3:30PM

Bill, for someone claiming to be an "avowed communist", you have done a better job of clarifying the situation than most.If more people would shed their ideological prejudices, they would see a much clearer picture of what is really going on...

Steve| 2.18.09 @ 7:28AM

Amen, Rocco. The conservative tradition is to bring a knife to a gun fight. Screw that. It's time to bring the RPG's and tanks to a gun fight. Sadly, when wicked men control the law the law must be broken to evict the wicked men. Lord help the US.

Steve| 2.18.09 @ 7:31AM

Wow!!! Very cogent analysis, Mr. *O'Stalin*. Time to turn the table over and reach for weapons.

How do I go about getting myself put on Obozo's enemies list?...I want to make damn sure that anybody who cares knows that I diss the boy every day publicly and hope to see him suffer the 'death of 1000 cuts' politically

Deborah| 2.18.09 @ 8:18AM

Luckily we still have the Internet. If Obama tries to shut down talk radio, there will be blood in the streets, I fear. I know I will be marching on Washington.

I had read a lot of this online before the election and tried to clue in as many people as possible about Chicago politics coming to Washington. Alas, it wasn't helped by the talking heads on TV who were either clueless about the iceberg below Obama's surface or were too afraid to tell the politically incorrect truth -- he's a Marxist who takes his opponents out. His attacks on Joe the Plumber should have given even those barely paying attention a clue. But no, we prefer to think that can't happen in the U.S.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson...about says it all.

WRTolkas| 2.18.09 @ 8:22AM

Dear Rocco & Steve,

I'm with you. Stay watchful and vigilant. The destruction of the 2nd Amendment and the theft of water from the Great Lakes to Obama's friends in the West will be the sign. Already the Kansas and New Hampshire governments have drawn articles that darn near look like secession if “Extra-Constitutional” measures are drafted by this government.

There are ripples in the pond.

Stay awake and keep your powder dry.

Anthony| 2.18.09 @ 8:50AM

I've been having these thoughts lately about a movie made in the '60s, you all know it, "Seven Days in May". Well , the premise doesn't quite fit today's situation but the basic concept is sound. If indeed America has been taken over by leftist radicals, and the Constitution is being shredded slowly, then the only institution that can save America is the good old U.S. military. Then, we can restore both civilian control and the Constitution, with our leftist friends safely in Canada and Schumer, Reid, Durbin, Pelosi, et al safely at GITMO, waterboarding not optional. Now this is real change we can believe in.

Owyheewine| 2.18.09 @ 9:12AM

Our president has demonstrated that he is a bold faced liar. Let me volunteer to be added to his enemies list.

Gill O'Teen| 2.18.09 @ 9:14AM

Missouri’s republican senator, “Kit” Bond recently announced he would not seek another term in 2010. One of those being considered for that seat is St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch, one of the leaders of the Barack Obama Truth Squad. Missouri already suffers with the sycophantic representation given by Claire McCaskill, one of the first to climb aboard Barry’s bandwagon. Hopefully, Missouri republicans will wake up before it’s too late. I won’t hold my breath.

There has been little or no attention paid to the $9 billion in the porkulus bill intended for Abu Hussein's brownshirts, i.e. ACORN thugs. The items are tagged as community organizing and community stabilization items. Those brownshirts will perform our census under the direction of the White House marxists. Also, they will register voters (dead, non-existent, with phony addresses, etc.) while paid by this "stimulus" bill. We need more details!

OStalin is no communist. He's full of it, and is playing this role for reasons only he knows.
As for the rest of us, there is one woman out there who will bring automatic weapons to a gun fight, and that is Gov. Palin. Start right now to support her, and for God's sake stay away from people like John McCain and Peggy Noonan. Please, I'm begging you.

Russ| 2.18.09 @ 11:23AM

Jez, you people are truly not in touch with reality. "Turn the table over and reach for Weapons??!!" Good lord. George W outed a CIA agent for exposing his lies. Where was your outrage then? Please remove your tin foil hats a move out of your parent's basements.

IndyJohn| 10.22.09 @ 8:53AM

FOOL! You are wrong on so many counts. Richard Armitage outed Valerie Plame, who was not a CIA agent, but an analyst. Armitage was Colin Powell's right-hand man at State. Was Armitage prosecuted? No. Because there was no crime! I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the truth in the future. You may avoid making a public ass of yourself - but I doubt it.

JP| 2.18.09 @ 11:37AM

Yes, of course, Russ you are correct. Bush outed the first under cover CIA agent who was listed by name, adress and occupation in the 2000 version of Whos Who. She was the first undercover NOC agent who drove her station wagon to work every day (CIA headquarters). It took the FBI exactly 3 interviews with her neighbors to find out the most in her neighborhood knew she worked for the CIA (apprently she blabbed it about constantly at dinner parties. Probably everyone in Northern Virginia knew who "owned" Brewster Jennings). But hey, the bureaucrats at Langley said she was undercover, so she must have been. Another stellar operation by the world's foremost intelligence agency!!

rr| 2.18.09 @ 11:48AM

Deborah, the internet is also on the hit list. The intolerant totalitarians want to control both radio and the internet.
Obama and his minions are third world corruptocrats. Every day new democrat corruption is uncovered and the only ones exposing it are talk radio and the internet.

Mack| 2.18.09 @ 11:48AM

Next messiah obama's Brown Shirts, unless this has already begun, will be burning books, instructing children to spy on their family and neighbors, and hauling off United States Citizens in the middle of the night.

Mack| 2.18.09 @ 11:51AM

This seems much more economical and relaxed for messiah obama and HIS Brown Shirts to "burn today’s form of books" rather than when Hitler and his Brown Shirts had to physically collect all the books and actually build a fire.

Great article and analysis. It's too bad Hyman doesn't get the audience he used to have when he was on TV.
This is a time for more speech and voices to be heard.
This administration is pretty frightening so far.

Robert Rosencrans| 2.18.09 @ 3:26PM

Apparently the enemies list is becoming a quick reality. Eric Holder, who loves terrorists, is apparently doing everything but cussing white people out in public as he claims the nation is full of cowards for not discussing race honestly. You can make the case that it's not directed at whites, but seriously. What has this country not done to help minorities including blacks? Wow. Telling people they are cowards is the way to start an honest conversation. Honestly, I hate to state this but he sounds like a hick with that logic. In the meantime, now that he's the Attorney General, call his office and demand that he live up to his mighty concept. Urge him to go after employers, including government entities, who openly support Black History Month, but do little to encourage Asian History Month (Just think of the possibilities there), White History Month, GLBT History Month, etc. Just name your victim and your venom, put place that call.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090218/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/holder_race
Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing awkward racial issues.

In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.

Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race."

He urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for honest discussion of racial matters, including issues of health care, education, and economic disparities.

Race "is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation's history, this is in some ways understandable," Holder said. "If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."

He told hundreds of Justice Department employees gathered for the event that they have a special responsibility to advance racial understanding.

Even when people mix at the workplace or afterwork social events, Holder argued, many Americans in their free time are still segregated inside what he called "race-protected cocoons."

"Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad," said Holder.

As a presidential candidate last year, Barack Obama gave a landmark speech on race relations during the hotly-contested Democratic primaries as he tried to separate himself from the angry rhetoric of his then-pastor. Holder cited that speech by Obama as part of the motivation for his words Wednesday, saying Americans need to overcome an ingrained inhibition against talking about race.

"If we're going to ever make progress, we're going to have to have the guts, we have to have the determination, to be honest with each other. It also means we have to be able to accept criticism where that is justified," Holder told reporters after the speech.

Holder is headed to Guantanamo Bay early next week to inspect the terrorist detention facility there. Obama has assigned Holder to lead a special task force aimed at closing the site within a year.

Holder's Justice Department will have to decide which suspects to bring to U.S. courts for trial, which to prosecute through the military justice system, and which to send back to their home countries.

LY| 2.18.09 @ 3:49PM

Bill O'Stalin you should be pretty happy with all of this socialism that's coming our way. Obama is a thug and will always be a thug, period.

Bill O'Stalin| 2.18.09 @ 4:15PM

LY: I agree with you. All Communism is based on control, so naturally all political leaders would be thugs by their very nature. And all thugs have enemies, therefore enemy lists. In the meantime I urge you to read the following. Fascinating reading for those who can read between the lines.
http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b2stalin.htm

Lenin boosted Stalin to the position of Commissar of Nationalities, which gave him control over all the minority groups in Russia. These groups made up a significant percentage of Russia’s people. Struggles with the minority groups and resistors of the Communist Revolution caused the Russian Civil war. Joseph assisted the Red, Communist army in many roles including Inspector General.

The war weakened Russia and Lenin. During the civil war all property and factories were nationalized and even freedom of expression was taken away. At the end of the war when Lenin introduced the New Economic Plan, which reinstated a limited amount of free commerce, he was too weak from a bullet wound to handle the opposition to the plan. Lenin set up the position of General Secretary in 1922 and appointed Stalin. It turned out to be Stalin’s rise to complete power, in the newly formed USSR.

Stalin’s position gave him the power to head inner sections of the Communist Party that investigated leaders and ousted those who were found lacking or disloyal to the party. Lenin was nervous when Stalin began to deviate from his ideas, and in his last will and testament he wrote that he didn’t want Stalin to succeed him. Stalin was able to keep Trotsky, the leader of the Red Army and Stalin’s greatest enemy, from disclosing this information and used the competition among party members to rid it of all opposition to himself. (In 1940 Stalin had the exiled Trotsky assassinated in Mexico.) Stalin got his enemies to kill and remove each other, so that by 1928 Stalin was in control.

Joseph Stalin began his ‘reign’ by condemning the kulaks, or land owning peasants that had become wealthy. He claimed that they were not putting the Soviet Union as their first priority and not providing industry workers with enough food. Stalin forced the people to set up collective farms that were owned by the government. 5 million kulaks and farmers were exiled because they were too wealthy, objected, or refused to farm collectively. The collective farms didn’t increase the food supply and in fact there were great food shortages. Next, Stalin set up a Five-Year Plan to industrialize Russia. He demanded that there be a 111% increase in coal production, 200% increase in iron, and 335% increase in electrical production. If workers didn’t meet these standards or were thought to be destroying the Plan, and were exiled. Stalin went against his advisors and broke with normal communist ideas.

Mike| 2.18.09 @ 5:06PM

Good article. And Hyman doesn't even mention Obama's stump speech where he exhorts the crowd to "argue with your neighbors" and "get in their face." Great. Just what the Nutroots need to hear. Talk about pouring gasoline on a fire.

Anthony| 2.18.09 @ 5:12PM

Thanks to Mr. Rosencrans: Mr. Holder is a sickening, smug, world class hypocrite. Leave it to an ideologue like Holder to chastise people for not being more honest & open with each other, especially with criticism. How rich is this, coming from this Stalinist leftist, who believes in campus speech codes, that can get a kid kicked out of college because of some interpretation of his/her actions or mannorisms. Read the book "Shadow University" it will make you sick to your stomach. The Chinese re-education camps have nothing on American colleges and universities. Holder and his ilk have put up these barriers between citizens so that free & open dialogue will not take place, because people have to be lawyers before they speak to one another. It's easy for the Holder's, Jackson's & Sharpton's of this world to decry the lack of vitality in our associations, that's because they can get away with doing and saying anything, while the rest of us can find ourselves facing a hate crime prosecution. Holder & his fellow jack booted friends have made a mockery of the famous Rockwell town meeting painting just as Andre Serano did with his famous "Piss Christ". BTW, Holder also doesn't think much of talk radio, suprise, suprise.

max| 2.18.09 @ 5:31PM

wow...! I'm not sure who's the bigger nut. Mark Hyman for writing an article riddled with lies and patten falsehoods that were debunked by nearly every rational mind on the planet, or you yahoos who've have responded like turkeys at a crap shoot.

If Obama has an enemies list I doubt there's room on it for a hack like Hyman, whose objective appears to be striving for relevance when in fact he comes across more like an ant at a picnic.

The country is in serious trouble of epic proportions and paranoid rantings about brown shirts and censoring right-wing talk radio is just self-indulgent bullsh*t.

Enough already. Put the weapons down take off the tin foil and rejoin the human race.

Charles Martel| 2.18.09 @ 6:29PM

Max hears what Max wants to hear. And though he probably soaks up everything else Bingaman, Stabenow, Harkin, Clinton, et alia say, he didn't want to hear their comments about the need for what Clinton called "balance on the OTHER side" (emphasis added), so he denies they were made.

Fortunately, we needn't rely on Max for our information... yet.

Anthony| 2.18.09 @ 7:39PM

Ruth; Max is too busy filling out his application to be on his local "community board" so he can insure diversity and fairness on the air waves. Comrade Lenin would be proud. Max, one caveat, you might actually have to put on a clean brown shirt every other day when the board convenes its inquisition. Brushing your teeth and shaving is of course, optional. P.S. Hey Max, I remember when America was indeed in serious trouble of epic proportions,. Yes, I remember the 2 hr. Jimmy Carter gas lines, 21% mortgages to desperate home buyers and 10% unemployment. Then the paranoid right took over, and Ronald Reagan was elected President. Twenty five years of unpresidented wealth creation. History is about to repeat itself, so don't be so quick to build those gulags ,because we just might fill them with you & your ilk. Fair play, don't you know.

max| 2.18.09 @ 7:40PM

HI Ruth (and Charles) – Because Hyman’s blog is riddled with some many falsehoods and lies I’m going to hit the egregious highlights (or rather lowlights):

Joe Wurzelbacher isn’t a symbol of American middle-class values. He’s a moron. He’s not a licensed plumber; he didn’t own a business; he still owes back taxes, and he was too dumb to realize during the campaign that he was being used by the McCain campaign and would benefit more from the Obama proposed tax cuts. But that didn’t stop him from opening his pie hole whenever there was a mic in his face and proving at every single opportunity that he didn’t know squat about anything.

While it’s true that Obama and Bill Ayers both served on the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, there were nine other board members on said board that was funded by the Annenberg Foundation. The same foundation founded by the Annenberg family, staunch Republicans and the people that gave the American public the ubiquitous TV Guide. Therefore, based on this tenuous association, everyone on that board “paled around” with a terrorist and the Annenbergs funded it and to a certain extent (based on this screwly logic), so did every American that has purchased a TV Guide.

Now obviously this is bullsh*t , except when Stanley Kurtz interjects it into an election and writes that he has documented evidence of a “much closer relationship.” Where are the documents? Where’s the evidence? Salacious crap that died the day after the election.

On Sept. 9, 2008, John Fund of the Wall Street Journal wrote:
"Democrats have airdropped a mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers into Anchorage, the state capital Juneau and Mrs. Palin's hometown of Wasilla to dig into her record and background. "

It was picked up and blogged thereafter that Obama sent operatives to Alaska to “dig up dirt.” It didn’t take 30 lawyers to find out that Sara Palin is an idiot.

The Wasilla City Manager put out the information that Sara Palin asked the town librarian how could she go about having certain books removed from the library.

TODD Palin WAS a card-carrying member for eight years of the fringe group that actively wants Alaska to succeed from the US. There is videotaped footage of Sara Palin talking to the group and wondering out loud why it might be a good idea for Alaska to succeed from the union.

ACORN, which hires part-time, $8-an-hour employees to go door-to-door and register people to vote, had serious problems with phony registrations invented by employees who don't want to work. They did not send people to the polls with bogus id or to vote.

How many cases are currently pending against ACORN for voter fraud: ZERO.

There's a huge difference between voter fraud and voter registration fraud. And while the difference in the two may be lost on some, most reasonable people get it.

The rest you can debunk yourself by doing your research and engaging in a little bit of critical thinking.

I’ve put up, now you shut up.

max| 2.18.09 @ 8:07PM

Anthony – Under the Carter administration desperate home buyers were paying 21% for mortgages, today builders can’t give away homes with a 5% mortgage. 10% unemployment will look like the good ole days. We’re currently at 7.5% unemployment and there’s no end in sight. Last month alone more than 500 thousand Americans received pink slips instead of paychecks. We’ve lost three MILLION jobs in the last 13 months.

Twenty five years of unprecedented wealth creation destroyed in less than eight years, by whom? That paragon of American free enterprise?

You better hope Obama gets it right. I dont give a damn what color shirt he's wearing.

Jason Peppers| 2.18.09 @ 8:35PM

Barack Houssein Obama is a Benedict Arnold and should be brought up on charges of treason for associating with known terrorist,closing Gitmo,negotiating with Iran's president,and for changing the Constitution whenever his administration deems necessary. It's time the American people took a stand together and stop this tyrant traitor! Obama is a disgrace to Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Houssein Obama and his administration are liars and traitors to this great country and freedom which we have. GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE DEATH!

Anthony| 2.18.09 @ 8:36PM

I see Max has donned his brown shirt and jack boots and is ready to take on vile Americans like Joe the Plumber. So poor Joe, who Obama approached on the street, not looking for fame or notoriety, dared to ask the redistributionist-in chief a question that set the community organizer on his ass. And for this, Joe gets an anal exam from every leftist troll like Max. Gee Max, at least Joe wasn't a D.C. lobbyist with a gratis car and driver who "forgot" to declare this as income. At least Joe isn't in charge of the IRS like the tax dodger Geithner is. How sick are you that you have such venim towards a fellow citizen who has done nothing wrong? What's in this for you, moron? Nothing, Obama will scrape you away like dry dog poop,along with the rest of us. Oh, but Max has room in his heart to defend the twin brother of the unibomber,Bill Ayers. Got the logic of that? Joe the plumber bad, Bill Ayers the terrorist bomber, good. But the smartist man ever to be elected president didn't know a thing about this "guy who happens to live in the neighborhood", just like he couldn't figure out what that Christian of all Christians, Jeremiah Wright was saying. And then, of course, what's a day without the ubiquitous attacks on the Palins. Whew, the Gov. and her hubby sure give you lefties the hives, Why, I bet your itching and scratching away at the very thought of Sarah Palin. You should be, she & the rest of us will be coming after putzes like you. And then there's that benign organization known as ACORN. Getting the entire Dallas Cowboy backfield, Micky, Goofy, and Donald all registered in Ill. is quite a feat of voter participation. What! the brain trust at ACORN didn't check the work of their $8.00 p/h staff? Well, the N.Y.Times doesn't check their staff either, so I'll give you that one. But what about transporting the homeless & illegals to numerous polls in order to vote several times with same day voter registration and no picture I.D. requirement, that the community organizer in chief advocated for in his halcyon days before becoming president? No wonder the Stimulus bill had to reward these American heros with $20B of our tax dollars. Max, you are a pathetic peon looking for proof that your life has meaning. Go work at a homeless shelter or rescue shelter if you need such validation.

Max, you're full of crap. Your case against Joe the Plumber doesn't hold water, it means every other Mom and Pop operation in United States would have suffered the same character assassination treatment from the liberal bozo media. Who doesn't owe taxes, except those who do not pay them? Is every plumber, carpenter, electrician regularly licensed? Gimme a break, you moronic hypocrit! Joe's only crime was to get in the Messiah's way and ask a very simple question. Unfortunately, the Messiah didn't have his teleprompter ready, so he had to tell the truth, and it almost turned the tide... Joe will never be forgiven for that. You have an ugly, filthy, stinky mind. You can't even write English decently. You inspire so much contempt that if I met you in person, I would hesitate between kicking you in the groin and barfing in your face, guess I'd do both. Get off our backs, puke face.

Food for thought| 2.18.09 @ 10:41PM

As opposed to typing back and forth to others that share your narrow view of the US and the world at large, I might suggest pushing your comfort levels a bit and talking to people that actually disagree with your opinion. I don't mean yelling your point at someone else, but listen to others like you would like them to listen to you. It's amazing what you can discover when you take "they" out of the picture and get to know others on a personal level. You might just learn something new. Working up others that largely agree with your own worldviews doesnt' really accomplish much. Maybe a good way to promote dialogue is not to monologue.

btw...I'm a fiscal conservative.

ruth| 2.18.09 @ 10:43PM

when it all comes together it paints a very scary picture- the code of all conspirists and crackpots, such as the author of the above column. apparently suggesting supporters support their canidate are dangerous, or that redistibuting the wealth is a socalist agenda. a note to all those concerned about the censoeship of the right- if your voices are so unheard, than tell me how you are able to post your swiftboating nonsense on the web. you can because no one is censoring such individuals or communities. they are responding to critics who hate to have their ideals challenged, who hate to have to actually make sense of their own rants.

Mr. Brooks,

Are you a "JAWS" fan by chance?

Frosty| 2.19.09 @ 1:42AM

Mike, marxists like you crave power--it's just a matter of time before you thugs try to crush dissent. We're ready.

pete the mediocre| 2.19.09 @ 3:06AM

Mike, I hate to break it to you, but redistributing the wealth is part of a socialist agenda.

Pointing out wrong headed ideas does not make one a conspiracy theorist.

Just a few Thomas Jefferson quotes his Democrat party should read. I know he's just a dead white guy, but he was one of the smartest. He'd be aghast at what his party has become.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. "
Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. "
Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. "
Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. "
Thomas Jefferson

Hmmm....does any of that ring a bell to those of you on the left? He was talking about you.

HistoryWriter| 2.19.09 @ 8:57AM

It must be terribly frustrating for you guys to realize that you've been marginalized, and that all your raving is being taken seriously only by the wingnut faithful. Tough, isn't it?

Bob Campbell| 2.19.09 @ 9:36AM

Of course Obama has an enemies list -- this guy and his cronies are all Chicago thugs -- add me to the list -- I consider this President's distain for the rights and security of our citizens to be criminal -- personally, I think he is a one-timer who will fail miserably -- you can only say "Hopey and Changey" so many times -- the Obamaites are going to implode before our very eyes as their patience will wear thin if they don't get their new house and gas tanks all filled in due course!

Aleena| 2.19.09 @ 10:51AM

Bob Campell, I hope you are right about the one term. So far, President Obama has broken so many promises that I have lost count. He tells us what he thinks we want to hear, and then he does something else. Also, he is naive enough to think that no one will notice. We need to find a way to get around an adoring press. If for five seconds, the general public would get accurate information about who he was, who he is, and what he wants for this country, his approval rating would not be over twenty percent.

max| 2.19.09 @ 4:46PM

To S.L. -- you are a punk. In a free society where there should be a free exchange of divergent ideas, the fact that you have resorted to threats of violence: "You inspire so much contempt that if I met you in person, I would hesitate between kicking you in the groin and barfing in your face, guess I'd do both" begs the question, what kinda stupid azzhole are you? Probably the stupid kind that hesitates between kicking someone in the groin and barfing in their face and as a result gets his spine snapped.

Ruth – you’re an embarrassment and should clean up your filthy mouth. It’s best to be thought a lady instead of opening your mouth and removing all doubt

S.L. Toddard| 2.19.09 @ 5:22PM

max, I got other plans for you and they include barfing on your groin and kicking you in the face too. This is not a free society and ideas are not freely exchanged. I don't wanna exchange anything with you because my mind is valuable whereas yours is cockroach dung. Only dumb liberals would think of short changing their neighbors this way. Come on and try to snipe my spine, goatf.ucker. I'll drink my Murphy's in your skull. And don't spew your vomit on Lady Ruth, trisomic turd.

Jeremiah| 2.19.09 @ 5:29PM

Right on, SLT! I'm a liberal myself but I ain't got no patience at all with this kind of arrogant faggot who gives liberalism a bad name. Let him drown in his mediocrity.

Jeremiah, please. Liberalism is so evil, it doesn't need queers and jerks to give it a bad name!
Thank you anyway.

Ruth, you don't have a filthy mouth because you called me a whore, you're just a whore with a filthy mouth. Lighten up. S.L., grow up, get a gripe. Here on earth azzwipes like you don't rate a second look.

Yeah and don't forget those pink kneepads.

max| 2.20.09 @ 10:17AM

SLT, thanks for the advice! I used them yesterday when I had a chance to visit Bill Clinton, and they performed (the kneepads and Bill) just fine.

What should one expect from a product of the Chicago politician Macbine. It is corrupt and only allows corrupters to be members in good standing. Obama, not the brightest bulb in Chicago, although he is billed as a genius by his press.

OK what did anyone expect we have the first elected African-American Neo-Comm want to be dictator. Our press was a co-conspirator in this we just need to do away with the press they have lost all usefulness. The so called conservative fringe media is the only trustworthy voice still in operation... Sad times

My fellow patriots, the time for action is now. We must begin networking and organizing in order to be ready for the day that our freedoms are taken. The socialist regime has begun and conservatism is underground.

paul| 4.15.09 @ 1:30PM

The reality is that CLinton then, and Obama now are as paranoid about disagreement as Nixon was.

And do have the equivalent of a enemies list.

Personally no matter what side, any sort of enemies list of otherwise good americans is wrong and illegal...

Though I dont like communism, the 50's scare which created its own list, often included people who were not only not communist related but were also not even close to anyone who was.

often the list became a list of non-supporters of a cause... and equallly bad.

If this goes as far as it could, it will lead to revolution outright.

tony| 8.13.09 @ 2:32PM

Here's what Obama actualy said about the paranoia-induced enemies list:
"Can I just say this is another example of how the media just ends up completely distorting what’s taking place. What we’ve said is that if somebody has – if you get an email from somebody that says for example ObamaCare is creating a death panel, forward us the email and we will answer the question that is being raised in the email. Suddenly, on some of these news outlets, this is being portrayed as Obama collecting an enemies list. Now, come on guys, here I am trying to be responsive to questions that are being raised out there – and I just want to be clear that all we’re trying to do is answer questions."

Crypto| 8.16.09 @ 11:20AM

I have serious concerns regarding the fundamental integrity of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Eventhough our elected leaders have totally discounted law, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and any semblance of honesty and integrity; I must admit I am really proud that the American people have finally come off of the sofa to stand against this obscenity of a health care plan.

The elected leaders have become so used to discounting the masses (as they are absorbed in American Idol or the latest sporting event), they thought they were invulnerable. The fact that so many are furious at these town hall meetings (many former Obama supporters who feel betrayed) is a sign the people may be more willing to keep an eye on their elected leaders.

yeswecan| 8.19.09 @ 4:49PM

I have been reading all comments on this page (except for the chinese guy)and though I woould lean to the right I think there is more behind Obama than people realize.Is that good?No but it is the same thing that has been behind every president since JFK .Presidents are just doing as they are instructed to do by there masters.If they desire to have the same fate as JFK than they can serve the people.This argument should not be about "left" or "right" and is not relevent to the problem we are facing.This should pull "right" and "left" together and take back America.Obama is just PR to sell Americans the "NWO"scam.This is about red blooded Americans standing up to take back what the elite banksters have stolen from them.Its time to stand up and say "WE the People of the United States,in Order to form a more perfect Union,establish Justice,...

Johannim| 9.7.09 @ 4:23PM

Hey Max, sup comrade, Got new for you bitch, I come from a liberal socialist country, the peoples republic of Canada, Canada has had politically correct truth police since the regime of Pierre Elliot Trudeau the 1960s little marxist that propelled the liberal party of Canada from a centerist party to neo Marxist leninist cabal along with the tiny socialist new democratic party. If a Catholic laymen or his church is against the infanticide of the unborn or you display opposition to homosexuality or immigration YOU CAN/WILL GO TO PRISON under the socialist hate laws that have gagged free speech in the Great White North for 40 years. The plan in Canada to promote a so-called socialist democracy aka front for marxist leninism is similiar to that which is being played out in the USA right now. Marxists & their fellow traveller first dominated Academia, then the press which in Canada today Max has NO balls & is a mouthpiece of the fascist-marxist regime. If your an Orthodox Jew,Traditionalist Catholic or Observent Orthodox you and you church or synagogue can be closed down and your priest or rabbi imprisoned if he/she in any way opposes the socialist/fascists that have run that once great nation for the last 60 years. As for the fucked up Universal Healthcare in Canada JUST ASK A CANADIAN CONRADE MAX.

Poptropica | 4.8.10 @ 7:51PM

It seems that everyone on the Poptropica island, the virtual world for kids, now wants to find some poptropica cheats. The virtual world, which is causing quite a buzz in the community of online gaming, is a safe area for kids to play and interact with each other – however their personal information is never shared. Cheats for Poptropica are obviously hard to find, and so there is a lot of demand right now!
poptropica cheats

The poptropica island has been in the news lately after it was revealed that they would be beginning a special ‘reality tv’ project – inside the virtual world. Contestants in a variety of online games will be selected from the players of the virtual game, and be taken by helicopter to a special zone where they can compete for prizes, as well as to become the King or Queen of the island.

The virtual online games will be available to all users of the game from today, although they have been used by ‘Members’ of the community for the last three weeks. Memebership of poptropica costs a small amount per month, but allows users to take advantage of a range of offers and special deals which are not usually available. Paying doesn’t allow access to any poptropica cheats though!
