Next, the Obama thugs came for Stanley Kurtz

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 28, 2008 10:28 AM

Scroll down for updates…

First, they came for TV stations daring to air an independent ad about Barack Obama and unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

Next, they came for GOP donors.

Now, they are shamelessly attacking National Review investigative journalist Stanley Kurtz — one of conservatism’s most thoughtful and penetrating writers on academic and educational affairs. Kurtz has been at the forefront probing Obama’s relationships with left-wing ideologues. It was his public information request and public call for help that led to the University of Illinois – Chicago finally releasing tons of files that shed light on the Obama/Ayers working relationship. The Obama camp is condemning Kurtz in harsher terms than it ever condemned the terrorist Ayers. Kurtz has been attacked now as a “right-wing hatchet man” and “slimy character assassin.”

Here are the Kurtz-smearing talking points the Obama campaign sent to its worshipers.

It was “non-stop.” And: “Surreal, amusing, and chilling.”

As I reported yesterday, Kurtz spent two hours on legendary radio talk show host Milt Rosenberg’s Chicago program on WGN last night detailing his initial findings. The Obama campaign went ballistic — and in typical Chicago mafia-style, smeared Kurtz and tried to shut down the show.

Milt Rosenberg’s producer, Zack Christenson, wrote early this morning:

Hello-
Thanks to everyone for the attention, the show lit up the phone lines and the blogs. Here’s a link to our podcast (the full 2 hour show) which you can download: Link

It’s interesting to see what lengths the Obama campaign is willing to reach to stifle dissenting voices. Kurtz said it best at the end of the show- If a respected conservative who writes for mainstream conservative publications like the Weekly Standard and National Review can’t speak his mind, then what dissenting opinion can be voiced? Did we see a preview of the fairness doctrine tonight?

Yes, indeed. Feel the chill?

Reader Jeff in Chicago e-mailed me while listening in:

I’m listening to Stanley Kurtz on the Milt Rosenberg Show. Milt announced that in his 30 yrs of doing his show, he’s never had “the firestorm” (as he puts it) on his switchboard as he’s having tonight. His call screener found the root of the flood: An pro-Obama website that claims that Kurtz is trying to smear Obama and that the campaign won’t allow the “swiftboating” that happened to Kerry, so they gave the show info (call-in number, time, etc) and suggested that people flood the switchboard with negative calls. The callers claimed that everything Kurtz is stating is fabricated, so Kurtz then read verbatim from the documents! He read one of the staff presentation agendas where the agenda stated that Obama would welcome the guests with Ayers then briefing them on the update so clearly they were together more than casually (and these docs are just the tip of the iceberg).

In addition, Stanley read an example of what organization received money and which one’s were turned down. In the case he mentioned, $200K was given to an African-American South Side School for a celebration of Juneteenth (see here for explanation, http://www.cinnamonhearts.com/junteenth.htm ) whereas a school program focusing in Algebra expertise was turned down.

As this exploration unfolds it should get very interesting indeed……..

Andy McCarthy also gave some play-by-play last night:

In the last few minutes, two called to scald Milt for having Stanley on without having an Obama rep on to give the counterpoint. Milt explains, repeatedly, that he contacted the Obama campaign (he gave the name of the campaign official his producer spoke with) and the campaign — the HQ of which is about a quarter mile from the studio where the show airs — declined to come on. They were offered the opportunity to have someone there with Stanley for the entire two hours, and they said no.

Another pro-Obama woman called and, after accusing Stanley of slander but of course not citing anything he said that was slanderous, stated, “We want it to stop.” Milt asked what she wanted stopped, and she replied, “It’s just not what we believe as Americans.” Milt tried again, asking what she didn’t believe. She responded that it was someone saying bad things about Barack Obama and, again, we just want it to stop.

Very compelling.

Earth to Obama supporters: no one is claiming guilt by association — though willful association with an admitted terrorist would be worthy of noting in a presidential candidate. Obama and Bill Ayers had a working relationship. Yet, Obama claimed Ayers was just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” and has otherwise minimized the relationship. Aside from the fact that Obama is not telling the truth, which itself is important, the details of the relationship are important. If the press was doing its job, we’d have those details already. Finally, the media’s job is being done … by Stanley. He should be saluted, not smeared.

Who’s next?

    Obama reminds me more and more of Chicago’s other (in)famous scion, Al Capone. Both had rockstar status, both have had their share of charity projects “for the children” (Capone opened soup kitchens for victims of the Depression), and both are ruthless towards anyone with the audacity to point out the corruption behind the facade.

    Any chance we can catch Barack on tax evasion, too?

    This thuggish obsessiveness with The “Zer0″ precisely why I am so worried about a contested election (and unless there is a McCain landslide, we will have one). Can you imagine what would happen is Obama won the popular vote, if only slightly, and McCain won the electoral college? Say goodbye to another part of the constitution. [There would be no problem, of course, if Obama won the electoral college and lost the popular vote.] Actually, there will be riots (happy or angry, perhaps a distinction without a difference) no matter what the result. Obama is every bit as crazy as his followers. This country is teetering on the brink and the whole world is salivating, eager to cash in on the chaos.

    Indeed. If Putin had his own hand-picked candidate running for President of the United States, would that candidate act any differently than Obama?

    And speaking of Castro, does everyone remember that Cuban flag, with “Che” Guevara’s image on it, hung proudly in an Obama volunteer’s office?

    Does this look like a man who can be trusted to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”?

    Obama has already intentionally misquoted the Constitution of the United States.

    Tis true it is and we must fight them every inch of the way and on every issue.
    They will attack and try to silence and we must not let them win.

    But if the Leftist thugs aren’t attacking our side isn’t doing it’s job. But I fear is will get worse; the Left never rests.

    Martin Luther King did not dedicate his life and ultimately lose it so that people like Barack Obama could come to power. He did it so people like Secretary Rice, Secretay Powell, Justice Thomas, J.C. Watts, Thomas Sowell, could have the opportunity to accomplish what they have accomplished.

    They overcame and were accepted as equals. They were not not given a pass. They earned their success. Obama is a stain of Dr. King’s legacy.

    And while I don’t for a milisecond believe that the rapes, death, and violence that I’ve personally experienced hold a candle to a civil war, if ANY elected official tries to take this magnificent country of mine down the road to tyranny, I will not stand by idle twiddling my thumbs.

    Barack HUSSEIN Obama is showing just how dense his mind is. Why would you not clean up your past actions and bad realationships before running for the highest office in the world? Now his goons are trying to stifle free speech and cover up all of the bad past of B. HUSSEIN.
    I’m reminded of the crooks in the movies who actually kept books on their wrong doings, and when they were caught, the law seized the books, which sent them off to prison.
    B.HUSSEIN didn’t have the sense and forethought to clean up the files a little, and he wants to hold the highest office on God’s Green Earth?
    IMO, anyone who tries to shut people up from telling the truth are goons. As stated in other comments, what we’re seeing now from B. HUSSEIN is just the tip of the ice berg, if he wins in November.

    People who fight back, such as the Koreans in L.A., The Los Angeles riots of 1992, will survive and thrive. The weakling and coward just may open his eyes when he finds the police CAN NOT protect them. The police do not answer 9-1-1 during riots.

    You are, Michelle. It’s just a matter of time before they get around to trying to “police” the Internet against what they call “right-wing pornography.”

    And they’ll follow the same pattern they use against Kurtz when they try to fix you: not taking action themselves, but relying on the more suggestible, gullible and action-oriented of their zombie-minded supporters.

    That , incidentally, is why I found it so alarming when you waded into that crowd at the Denver Mint a few days ago. If intimidation won’t work, they’ll eventually resort to violence — and rationalize afterward that their “good intentions” justified it.

    If we ever lose this Republic to totalitarianism, the hoof-prints of the donkey party will be all over the scene of the crime. If you want to know what the donkeys’ long-term agenda for this country is, all you have to do is listen to what they accuse their opposition of wanting to do:

    – Politically incorrect beliefs will become “thought crimes.” The people who accuse you of wanting to put people into “FEMA camps” will see to your “re-education.”

    – Telling the truth about donkeys will become prosecutable. The people who cry “free speech!” will see to it that your “hate speech” does not go unpunished.

    – Membership in the “subversive” political organizations will become the same as belonging to an organized crime syndicate. The people who call Republicans “Nazis” will criminalize membership in the Republican or Libertarian parties.

    There was a reason why the Founding Fathers enshrined freedom of speech and assembly in the First Amendment to the Constitution — because when the totalitarians calling themselves “Democrats” make their move, those two basic freedoms are the first things they’ll target.

    They’ve already gotten started, in the guise of “Hope” and “Change.”

    Huey Long wasn’t just trying to sound clever when he observed that “If Fascism comes to America, it’ll call itself ‘anti-Fascism.’” As a demogogue himself, he knew very well how the authoritarian mind works. Those who ignore how the donkey party is turning his words into prophecy do so at their own, and the Republic’s, peril.

    I hate to agree with this. It sounds like the worst kind of “trooferism.”

    But the parallels between totalitarian thugs of the past and Papa Barack (President-for-Life) are becoming more apparent — and more frightening — by the day.

    Not only does Osama Obama show every sign of wanting to repress any dissent (an inclination that will only grow worse when he has authority and resources to pull it off) but his megalomania has become truly overwhelming.

    Moreover, when he denies allegations against him, his sole claim is that they are overstated, not that they are wrong.

    This is a man who can carry on the work of past despots. And I believe he will.

If you think iraq was bad, wait till you see civil war in the usa, because it will not be like 1865.

    I second SuzEQCitizen. You don’t think this is indicative of what an Obama administration will do to citizens? Especially those who dissent? Those who dare question the Secular Messiah?

    If the Ayers connections are lies – then discredit them as lies. But they’re not. They deal specifically with the content of Obama’s character – and it’s not looking good for him.

    I will fight to the death to protect the First Amendment. If that means civil war, so be it. I’m armed and ready.

Thomas, Scalia, Roberts and Alito would not let the Fairness Doctrine stand on constitutional grounds. The insane liberal idiots on the court would pass it in a heartbeat.

    There are several things that I don’t like about McCain, but I can’t see letting Obama appoint a Supreme Court Justice.

A totalitarian dictatorship – the deal is – they feel they will be on the right side of this. Since they are generally loosers anyway, this will enable them to be on the winning side for once. They will sacrifice anything for that. They don’t care about preserving personal freedoms or 1st Amendments, 2nd Amendments – they care only about what will they get out of this.

That Sanfrannan, Reid and Obama are actually rising to the top spouting Marxism and are on the brink of bringing their half baked power play to a real threat is absolutely astounding. We are under a much greater danger than most people realize. The only difference between communism and liberalism is the communist had a plan. It has never work.
    If Obama gets away with intimidation on his way to the top, just think what it will be if he gets real power. Wake up everybody.

    None that I can think of. Olbermann is the poorest excuse for a human being I recall ever seeing on television, and that includes Jackass Cafferty on CNN and L’il Danny Blather (formerly of the Communist Broadcasting System).

    If McCain’s camp could somehow induce the “muddled middle” of the American electorate to watch Olbermann and his ilk for only a few minutes, then McCain would win a 40-state landslide this November.

There are plenty of reasons to not vote for Obama in terms of policy and experience without resorting to these kind of attacks. If anyone listened to Sean Hannity on his radio show a couple of days ago trying to make these arguments to Ted Koppel, Koppel calmly and persuasively shot all of them down and it made Sean sound like a spoiled little brat.

    These talking points do not explain why Obama is still associated with an unrepentant terrorist, who wishes he had done more bombing and alllows himself to be photgraphed proudly standing on a U.S. flag. This is a man that Obama refers to as “a friend” (his words). If Obama has done nothing wrong here, a full review of the records of that board should be of no concern to him.

    However, his extreme reaction and things like this Call to Action would indicate that there are things that require real investigation. That is our right in a free society.
