GAY-PORN KINGPIN LINKED TO Obama campaign fund raising
[i]" ONE of the “bundlers” who has raised $50,000 to $100,000 for the Barack Obama presidential campaign is Terrence Bean, who once controlled the biggest producer of gay porn in America.
Bean, the first gay on Sen. Obama’s National Finance Committee, is the sole trustee of the Charles M. Holmes Foundation, which owned Falcon Studios, Jock Studios and Mustang Studios, the producers of about $10 million worth of all-male pornography a year"[/i]
Heck, if Obama were a Republican they’d have the gay porn star pose as a journalist to publish propaganda pieces from the White House press pool masquerading as real news, but of course that’s already been done.
I thought the usual modus operandi for Republican blow hards was to preach family values, deny homosexuals the option of marriage while shagging as many blokes as their tapping feet can lure into a public toilet cubicle?
The smears and sleaze are coming hard and heavy from the right. As usual, the GOP can’t win on issues, so they have to rely on character assassination.
Actually, what is saddest is that observers of the American scene cannot tell the difference anymore between outright farce and Republican campaign assertions.

Where is the smear? Is George McGovern from the right and on the smear team? [/color]
Voting is an immense privilege. That is why [color=#0000FF]I am concerned about a new development that could deny this freedom to many Americans[/color]. As a longtime friend of labor unions, I must raise my voice against pending legislation I see as a disturbing and undemocratic overreach not in the interest of either management or labor. The legislation is called the [color=#8000FF]Employee Free Choice Act[/color], and I am sad to say it runs counter to ideals that were once at the core of the labor movement. Instead of providing a voice for the unheard, EFCA risks silencing those who would speak. The key provision of EFCA is a change in the mechanism by which unions are formed and recognized. [color=#0000FF]Instead of a private election with a secret ballot overseen by an impartial federal board, union organizers would simply need to gather signatures from more than 50% of the employees in a workplace[/color] or bargaining unit, a system known as “card-check.” There are many documented cases where workers have been pressured, harassed, tricked and intimidated into signing cards that have led to mandatory payment of dues. [color=#0040FF]Under EFCA, workers could lose the freedom to express their will in private[/color], the right to make a decision without anyone peering over their shoulder, free from fear of reprisal. To my friends supporting EFCA I say this: [color=#0000FF]We cannot be a party that strips working Americans of the right to a secret-ballot election[/color]. We are the party that has always defended the rights of the working class. To fail to ensure the right to vote free of intimidation and coercion from all sides would be a betrayal of what we have always championed.[/quote]
[quote][color=#4000FF]Jack Welch:[/color] Now I want to know about how [Obama]’s going to vote on the Free Choice Act that passed Congress in the last thing. This labor movement [color=#0000FF]where we give up the secret ballot[/color]. Now [color=#0000FF]where is [Obama] going to come out on giving up the secret ballot[/color] in this country? One of the great things this country has.
[color=#4000FF]Linda Douglass:[/color] Well I’ve got to tell you that [color=#0000FF]I’m really not prepared that to give you the answer on that particular question[/color] Mr. Welch. I hope you won’t fire me.[/quote][/quote]
[color=#4000FF]Yeah… Obama is for Change you can Trust![/color]
[color=#FF0000]
Just don’t ask about the details! [/color]
Of course I jumped at the opportunity to post regarding one of the issues that Obamessiah doesn’t like to talk too loudly about.
What do you think about Obamessiah’s plan to eliminate the secret ballot in connection with unionization efforts? Pretty disgusting, no?
I mean, how can any American oppose the secret ballot? Are yinz cool with that?[/quote]
Just a little reading on the topic shows it is not as black and white as you suggest. In the first place the entire point of the bill is to make it easier to form unions. It is a pro-union proposal. As for the secret ballot, wiki says:
So not quite as cut and dry as taking away the secret ballot. People just pull that out of the topic cause it’s something you can easily bash a liberal with if he’s not too bright. I also hasten to add that any American who is not opposed to the use of torture shouldn’t be asking rhetorical questions like “how can any American oppose the secret ballot.”
BTW, the Union News didn’t write any of that stuff you quote. It comes from an Alaska Journal article. The union news appears quite clearly a right wing nutbar website
Here’s a quote from another article they link to:
[quote]If you believe Crystal Gail Mangum, the ex-convict stripper still falsely posing as a gang rape victim, you probably believe that the innocuously named ACORN (the acronym for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is a fine association honorably pursuing laudable goals.
That’s nuts!
Mangum is a con artist still lying outrageously and ACORN is a sinister association out to take over America by putting politicians of its choosing, especially Barack H. Obama, Jr., in power, by doing whatever it takes, despite the law.[/quote]

No. It is pretty much cut and dry. The secret ballot is at risk.
I don’t support the use of torture. At least not as a general policy. I can’t say that I would never agree that torture might be necessary… but, in general, I agree with Tainan Cowboy’s arguments that torture is counter-productive.
And the question, “how can any American oppose the secret ballot” is not a rhetorical question.
So what? I cited several other sources, including George McGovern. And I linked to it so that anyone interested could see where it was from. Its late on a Saturday night. I’m posting on a small internet forum in Taiwan… not citing cases in a brief or references in a dissertation.
Because so many people look at him as some sort of messiah.
Republicans can be cynics, too.[/quote]
Of course, Senator McCain has his fair share of nicknames too. It’s not quite what i meant.
I saw McCain take a Q&A, and he was being booed (by his own supporters), because people were saying Obama is an Arab, or hes a terrorist. Actually, real or manufactured, that is the first bit of respect I can give McCain in this campaign for telling those around him the differences lie in thier policies and based solely on their differences in implementing different policies, he thinks he would make the better candidate for POTUS. See here huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/1 … 33710.html .
Perhaps if the public had seen more of THAT strategy and less of the TC kind of spin, it wouldnt be 5:1 against McCain in the odds right now.
By using “Obamessiah”, doesnt it define those who support him as being blind followers? and do you not think that people looking at the world around them dont see a cause and effect (put whatever you like in here, oil, banks, whatever). hence, its a bit condescending to imply they are blindly placing their trust in “Obamessiah” ?
Not necessarily. I think a good many people are spoon-fed.
Damn right its condescending.
I can’t believe so many people are giving me flak about this. Its as if the politics forums have been completely free of condescension until I recently started to use “Obamessiah”…

Perhaps people are giving you so much flak because, at least IMO, always seemed to hold yourself to another standard, above the fray and away from the belittling. I guess I was wrong.
