What is wrong with that? (Barack Hussein 0bama)
olavodecarvalho.org — The motto of his campaign is “change”, but to bring it about he needs not even get elected: he has already changed everything about the electoral ways and customs of the American people, and he has changed it so much for the worse that many decades will be necessary to repair the damage, if indeed that is possible.

Obama is the epitome of “politically correct” blackmail. We have a nation so scared to offend anything and anyone that we are sacrificing our RIGHTS and LIBERTYs in the name of PC. Further, the average IQ of the people who support this man is around 80 and this is a problem because they THINK they are really smart when in fact they aren't (kind of like the people who know how to use MS office and then all of a sudden are Computer Techs).- farmerjohn48pan, on 07/24/2008, -5/+23Don't agree with your average IQ number but agree that a lot of people are not taking the time to find out the truth and then speak about it.

And I don't think an illegal war justified with fabricated evidence, against international laws, with nothing to justify an attack, even with fabricated evidence, counts as a strategical error.
It's a crime against humanity, not a strategical error.

- ramiro, on 07/24/2008, -18/+57Excerpt from "Lethal Delicacy", by the same author, Olavo de Carvalho:
"... The senator has specialized in adolescent exhortations of the type “we’re going to change the world,” because he knows that no one expects him to actually do something in the presidency, only that he’ll be there as a symbol.
A symbol of what? The ancient Latins said nomen est omen, “the name is prophecy.” Barak Hussein means “blessed descendent of the Prophet,” and there is conclusive evidence that its bearer is lying when he says he was never a Muslim (Daniel Pipes made that clear here
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/5286
and here
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/5354 ).
It is more or less as if, in the midst of the Vietnam war, the USA had elected as its president a guy named John Paul Ho Chi Minh, educated in Hanoi, the son of a party member, who swore he had never been a Communist and became offended when anyone doubted it. Obama’s candidacy is a calculated provocation, serving as a gauge to assess the depth of the acquired habit of politically correct self-censorship now infused in the minds of Americans willing to be thrown into the oven to avoid offending the cook."

Lessee! The more socialist the state or city is in this country, the worst their crime, economy and schools are! The liberal run urban center near me has a 70% drop-out rate from its liberal indoctrination centers, while the privately funded schools in the same neighborhoods have a 90% graduation rate.
But, I don't want to confuse you with too many facts...good night. - osko2052, on 07/25/2008, -1/+10I'm just curious. Could you answer a question for me? How long have you been paying income taxes? America's taxpayers are sick and tired of bailing out everyone who makes stupid mistakes. The schools are messed up because it stopped being about educating the children and seeing how much taxpayers could be soaked for. The banks are messed up because a bunch of fat cat bankers made alot of really bad loans. Meanwhile the fat cat bankers are still stinking rich and Mr. & Mrs. Taxpayer are expected to bail them out so they don't lose their yachts.
- JEAH, on 07/25/2008, -7/+3@jb1965
while your facts support evidence that privately funded schooling works for a small percentage of the populace, they don't guarantee the same will hold true for the population as a whole, specifically when applied to poverty stricken areas. This is a huge leap of faith. While having a privately funded option is fine, I still believe we should give all children equal opportunity with a well funded educational system.
@osko2052
first of all, socialism != income tax. Besides, this is a irrelevant when comparing Obama and McCain.
"The schools are messed up because it stopped being about educating the children and seeing how much taxpayers could be soaked for."
you're kidding right? If not, please quote numbers that show problems in education linked to over-taxation.
"The banks are messed up because a bunch of fat cat bankers made alot of really bad loans."
Do you even understand the problem? Most conservative economic experts now feel that some regulation is required to keep banks from sinking themselves. The current problems are directly related to anti-socialist policy. I would love to think that the free market is ideal, but recent evidence suggests otherwise.
"Taxpayer are expected to bail them out so they don't lose their yachts."
and your plan is.. what? You do understand what will happen if those banks go under, right? - EntangledPhysx, on 07/25/2008, -1/+7@JEAH
So what will happen when those banks go under? From what I am hearing, a bailout could potentially severely weaken the US dollar even further. How is this better then if those banks went under? This seems like a gray area.
With socialism, the govt will start controlling the major industries. True, in this case, socialism != income tax. It instead creates a slippery slope where eventually the govt is running so many things, and is so big, that tax increases are the only way the govt can continue to run.
For example, in my state (MN), the state govt is paying for the arts with tax payer dollars, because "it's so important." The govt is trying to control too many things. If the art is so important, let it fund itself, not with our tax dollars. This equates to higher taxes. Whether income, sales, or gas tax-- they are getting this extra money through taxes!
There are many more examples I'm sure, especially if a liberal democrat gets into power and decides to give everything away and regulates everything instead of the free market. Tax tax tax.
The government doesn't produce a damn thing--it takes money at gun point. You have no say where that money goes. This is especially true with public vs private schooling. That's another discussion altogether, though.

Why would people stress the "Hussein" middle name? Because they are trying to tie him to Saddam Hussein in peoples' subconscious.

Cool. Although I'm certain that there are a lot of people who dread the idea of having a black man in office, my comments on racism are directed at the over use of his middle name.

While, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has an amazing story to tell about growing up in deplorable conditions and being able to institute reforms in a country that was formerly under the control of a dictatorship, Barack Hussein Obama is coming from a different world, one where the grand-daughter of a share cropper can become the Secretary of State. Or a child who grew up in ghetto can rise to the level of Supreme Court Justice or an American of African and Jamacian descent can rise to the level of Joint Chief of Staff and Secretary of State.

That is completely inaccurate.
Lula was only an union leader during the military regime and his way to popularity was discreetly endorsed by the regime itself just because the military wanted to get rid of the old left revolutionary leaders.
After the military gave up control, Brazil had a terrible president (remember Zimbabwe but without the human rights violations by the government) and a half bad president (he confiscated people's savings but at least he tried to reduce the size of the state). After them, came a "social-democrat" who was in part responsible for the current economic stability in his 8 years mandate.
Lula's only merit - and a very small one - is to continue the same economic policies. Lula put all his cohorts and activists in government positions, so Brazilian democracy is seriously at risk.

Obama or McCain does not matter, both are puppets for the coming one world system of the anti-Christ and will continue to do Satan's will, rather then God's.
May all true believers in Christ Jesus continue to pray for wisdom and insight, for the next 4 years will see the world fall further away from God and closer to destruction.- pedepy, on 07/25/2008, -4/+2word.

Obama does NOT believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that NO MAN COMETH TO THE FATHER BUT BY JESUS CHRIST. Obama said he thinks all religions lead to God, or Allah or Budah or any other "religion." Just running around saying your a "christian" doesn't make you a christian. BUT giving credence to "allah" like obama does DOES in fact make you part of the antichrist regime. Allah is NOT Jehovah, NOT YAWEH and NOT THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. Do some research (about 30 minutes on google ought to do it) and you will find in fact that "allah" is derived from "allat," the FEMALE MOON GODESS depicted by the crescent moon, whom is not God our creator, but a created spirit being a la fallen angel demon spirit. She is also known as the "Queen of Heaven" in the old testament.
JESUS CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD BY WHOM ALL THINGS WERE MADE SAID:
"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." (1 John 4:3)
Plain and simple, this verse is telling us that those who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down from above, was manifested in the flesh, and was in fact the promised Jewish Mesiah is of an ANTICHRIST spirit.
Seeing obama at the wailing wall in Jerusalem should really show all believers just how easy the antichrist will in fact enter in the land of Israel.

where are the liberal points of view that i have fun arguing with‽‽
[and btw... the article isn't even a good conservative article]- wild, on 07/25/2008, -4/+7Its being posted somewhere and everyone there is jumping over here to log and digg and game the system. Thats why these always show up at the same time of night, get to around 150 diggs with comments over 100 positive.
Then the rest of us catch it in the upcoming section, realize they are hit pieces, and start burying them. This locks them in upcoming for a few hours before they drop off the radar. Its been the pattern for several weeks now and I doubt its going change between here and the election. - Jareth86, on 07/25/2008, -5/+1Its being eaten by libertarians.
- Froderick, on 07/25/2008, -4/+0I figured someone posted it here, and told all of their like-minded neo-conservative friends about it so they could come here and flood the comments with comments that practically never appear on Digg is this number.

- dunnduggit, on 07/25/2008, -5/+7So let me get this right. Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein? Well he surely must be evil than, because Sadam Hussein's last name is Hussein. How could anyone ever vote for him. Holy *****! He's an Anti-American, terrorist fist-bumping, non-flag lapel wearing, racist, not fit to run a third world country, Muslim in disguise, communist, birth certificate forging, pro-terrorist who flies in an unsafe plane.Really thank you guys, I thought something was funny when this article appeared, but clearly the author knows what he's talking about. You guys have converted me, critical think be damned!

...and obama is the poorer of the two candidates...mmhmm, right.
there is a reason that those six stories are on the front page, and that reason is the fact that people are sick of all of the mccain campaign's mudslinging and *flip-flops*/errors, not to mention the fact that obama has more support both in and outside of this country than he does.
the only thing mccain ever says that isn't against obama is, "vote for me, i'm a pow". and that's such an important quality to have, right, regardless if he cannot get facts straight or put forward any good policies.
and as far as the whole "change" thing goes. we, as a nation, are in dire need of it. i don't know if anyone else read this, but the PESO is making a comeback on the dollar. our economy is going down the drain, and another 4-8 years of bush (read: mccain) is not going to make it any better, especially not if we remain in iraq for another 100 years, as mccain suggests. - pedepy, on 07/25/2008, -8/+3eh ...
although this article does bring up some good points, it's nothing new. Candidates have been put in power with just as little credentials as Obama did, however they had in general a 'lineage' of some sort to counter that fact.
Obama is popular for one simple reason: he's everything the current government isn't. And the other guy is just like 'em.
If you haven't been paying enough attention to politics these past 8 years to realize how badly you've all been butt raped by your elected officials, then you can't understand why most Americans want somebody who's nothing to do with the current establisement for president.
The only problem with Obama's campain is that he's tamed it down: He should be saying more of the honest straight talk that made him get noticed in the first place. - ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -6/+1interesting article. Isn't the Brazilian author doing what most criticize about U.S. foreign policy by casting his opinion about a domestic issue? Just raising a valid question, but go ahead & digg me down ---->

As for "many decades will be necessary to repair the damage, if indeed that is possible," listen caballero - I thought you were talking about Bush here - you know, the whole doubling the national debt from $6 to $12 trillion? THAT is what is going to take decades to repair. - mikesbaker, on 07/25/2008, -3/+4I can sum this article up real quick for you guys: Obama is a black man who has a name that sounds muslim and doesn't have enough experience to do the job.

- chickenbig, on 07/26/2008, -2/+6A "lobotomy" is when part of your brain is removed to control you by rendering you emotion-less. An "obatomy" is when empty words are added to your brain to control you by making sure everything you do is based on emotion.
- Navigator7, on 07/26/2008, -4/+6I believe øBama, if elected, will make Carter look like a great president.
Kids today won't remember what it is like to live under such a "giving society". Carter damn near stopped ours.
He wore a damned cardigan sweater in office and I swear that caused the yoots of America to vote for him.
øBama isn't popular for what he says, just how he says it.
Like Carter's sweater, øBama is wearing a whole new skin color and getting votes for it.
Thats like receiving praise for turning oxygen into carbon dioxide and water - GWBARNHOUSE, on 07/28/2008, -5/+3Have y'all ever noticed how the Obomination crawls out of the of the woodwork.
