Vulnerable Democrat John Hickenlooper: Colorado’s George Soros mini-me; Update: Hick & Obama, a love story

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 26, 2010 10:21 AM

Here in my home state of Colorado, the Tom Tancredo Surge continues. Polls consistently show Tancredo’s independent gubernatorial candidacy within 1-5 points of vulnerable Democrat opponent John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver. The latest poll from Democratic pollster PPP shows Tancredo within 3 points. Hickenlooper is still drawing under 50 percent. It’s Hick at 47, Tancredo 44, and imploded GOP candidate Dan Maes at a negligible 5 percent. As I said at the beginning of this month, insurgent Tancredo is Colorado’s best hope for crossing the finish line first and pulling Colorado back from the progressive brink as Obama and his clones drag down America.

There’s a reason unenthused voters have, in Hickenlooper’s own words, responded to his campaign with “nonchalance.” He’s a phony “moderate” poseur whose strategy for hiding his radical progressive views is to suffer convenient bouts of amnesia, evade public disclosure, or hide behind Maes.

To wit: Hickenlooper, Colorado’s George Soros mini-me, established a far Left charity called the Chinook Fund that has provided funds to social justice groups ranging from ACORN to open-borders activism to Israel-bashing and the Recreate 68 anarchists whose threatened disruptions at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in 2008 cost the city and federal taxpayers tens of millions in added security measures. The Chinook Fund takes pride in supporting groups considered “too risky or too radical” by mainstream foundations, but founder Hickenlooper refused to fully disclose to voters or the press the extent of his donations to the fund while serving as Denver mayor. The Complete Colorado website investigated on its own and found that Hickenlooper’s fund gave to the radical “Transform Columbus Day Alliance,” which believes Columbus Day is “racist” and which rioted in 2007 in downtown Denver — leading to 83 arrests:

The 2007 Columbus Day Parade protests included bloodied fake babies in the streets.

Not surprisingly, Hickenlooper is a fan of Marxist agitator and disgraced green jobs czar Van Jones — whom he called a “rock star” and “even bigger and better in life than what you’ve heard:”

Asked about his praise for Jones, Hickenlooper lamely told radio host Mike Rosen he barely remembered the extremist he fawned over. See Colorado blogger Ross Kaminsky’s thorough takedown here. Kaminsky concludes:

The idea that a Mayor so steeped in the “green” movement would not know Van Jones is a stretch. The idea that Hickenlooper knew nothing about Van Jones other than that he was “from Oakland” and worked “to keep kids in school” after participating in at least four events together does not pass the giggle test, particularly after Jones had been so much in the news late last year.

I should note that there are plenty of people on the far left of American politics and involved in the radical environmental, also called “green”, movement, who would be pleased to pal around with and be associated with Van Jones. Personally, I’d feel like a traitor if I befriended someone like Jones, a man who has long professed an antipathy toward capitalism. But that’s just me…

The point here is not primarily that Hickenlooper associated with Jones (although I do hold that against him), but that the evidence points strongly toward the Mayor lying about it. Hickenlooper knows that to win an election in Colorado he can’t lose his guy-next-door facade of moderation — a facade which would be greatly damaged by ties to someone with Jones’ history.

Voters must make their own inferences from the Mayor’s apparent dissembling. For those who are interested, here’s my take:

The mayor’s facade of being a moderate would be damaged by the public being informed of his repeated association with Van Jones. Therefore, he decided to play dumb and hope nobody would dig any deeper. Now that certain people have dug deeper, the implausibility of Hickenlooper’s memory lapse has to make voters question not only his “moderation” but his facility with the truth as well.

When Hickenlooper isn’t dissing rural Coloradans as “backwards,” he’s deriding workers worried about the recession as mental basket cases. Speaking of mental problems, Hickenlooper believes it is “insane not to be spending tens and tens of billions” of dollars on climate change, but protests “I’m a moderate” in the same breath.

And when Hickenlooper isn’t trash-talking voters in his own state, suffering election-year amnesia, or protecting his radical prog friends and allies, he’s refusing to take responsibility for his illegal alien sanctuary policies and accusing victims of illegal alien crime of “seaminess” for supporting Tancredo. At last Friday’s gubernatorial debate, Hickenlooper attacked Tancredo over the campaign ad featuring supporter Marat Kudlis — a legal immigrant whose 3-year-old son was killed by a serial catch-and-release illegal alien. Watch the ad:

Hickenlooper refuses to debate Tancredo one-on-one on his support of sanctuary policies, instead hiding behind Dan Maes (that wouldn’t be fair to Maes, he protested at the debate) and condescendingly accusing Kudlis of being “exploited.”

How dare he.

I’ve met Kudlis — a fierce, powerful speaker and advocate for immigration enforcement policies. Watch Kudlis’s speech last week for yourselves:

Kudlis supports Tancredo for the same reasons I do: Because we know that he will turn around the reckless policies of progressives in “moderate” clothing. Because he has the organizational skills, diverse support, and proven leadership abilities to govern. Because he has stood up to the thuggish left-wing mob and will stand up to them again to stop the Soros-ization of Colorado.

    John Hickenlooper’s radicalism is fully exposed and yet he is above 40%-Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and so many other Progressives are above 40%, indeed we are at best a 40%/40% country.

    We pray for a Governor Tancredo but this will not end well–there is nothing United about a 40%/40% country when one of those 40% doesn’t think we should be a country and supports radicals willing to recreate Stalin’s gulags. November may be huge but it will be a stop gap at best. This may be the time to buy that firearm and get some training. If you can’t get that training at home visit a state where you can. Visit Arizona and boycott the boycott.

    Wrong. What is wrong with the Colorado GOP leadership? We have the same problem in CA except no one ever suggests that the solution for CO is to give it back to Mexico.

    We had Chuck DeVore ahead in the polls before the CA GOP shoe-horned closet Democrat Carly Fiorina as the nominee. During the recall of Gray Davis, we had an excellent conservative Republican candidate, Tom McClintock, who was similarly torpedoed in favor of Arnold.

    That is why I keep saying that it’s not the Democrats who destroyed CA, it’s the corrupt GOP.

    1. He thinks he won the primary because of his wonderful self, not because the front running Repub. imploded.

    2. His resume is so lightweight, he has nowhere else to go. No job, no future.

    By the way, do you know why the left hates Christopher Columbus?

    It’s because the left hates Christianity.

    As a huge painting in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol Building shows, Columbus brought Christianity to America.

    The Muslims hate him because Columbus was there in Grenada when the Spanish Reconquista was completed and the last Muslim stronghold, the Alhambra, was turned over to the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella. In fact,

    The Salón de los Embajadores (Hall of the Ambassadors) is the largest in the Alhambra and occupies all the Torre de Comares. It is a square room, the sides being 12 m (37 ft) in length, while the centre of the dome is 23 m (75 ft) high. This was the grand reception room, and the throne of the sultan was placed opposite the entrance. It was in this setting that Christopher Columbus received Isabel and Ferdinand’s support to sail to the New World.

    So, Christopher Columbus is inextricably tied to the same Christian Reconquesta that ended centuries of Muslim domination in the Iberian peninsula.

    The Muslims want to conquer yet again the land they 1st conquered in the eigth century. That is what the “Cordoba Initiative” is really all about. But it doesn’t stop in Europe. It extends to America. That very same “Cordoba Initiative” is the group behind the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.

    And Michelle Obama, with her trip to Spain which included meeting with Arabs and a tour of the Alhambra, essentially endorsed the Cordoba Initiative.

    Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain was not “Tone Deaf”,
    it was Pitch-Perfect… to the Cordoba Initiative.

    #4 – you must be close to the Denver PD rank and file to use that hilarious name LICKENPOOPER, ’cause that’s our guys on the street call him.

    I wonder why Lickenpooper’s illegal alien dishwasher shot two of DPD’s top investigative detectives right after he was elected, killing one and ruining the second, and then managed – without means or support – to elude a multi-state APB dragnet among all police agencies and get across the border to escape arrest and prosecution?

    I’ve heard loose talk of the files the Feds and local PDs have on Lickenpooper’s alleged activities, but since I cannot prove chapter and verse it’s best not allude to them. Let’s just close with the fact that Democrats have a proven lust for the drug business. The DELANO in Franklin Delano Roosevelt, after all, stands for Franklin’s grandfather Warren Delano who for years waged a ruthless campaign in the CHINA TRADE on the Pearl River Delta securing his share of the opium trade. Delano had offices in Canton and Hong Kong. During business hours, Chinese criminals would pay him cash and receive an opium chit. At night, Scrambling Crabs – long, sleek, heavily armed crafts – rowed out into the Pearl River Delta to Delano’s floating warehouses, where they received their opium under the cover of darkness. The profits were enormous, and at his death Delano left his daughter Sara a fortune that she lavished on her only son.

    The Delanos were not alone. Many of New England’s great families made their fortunes dealing drugs in China. The Cabot family of Boston endowed Harvard with opium money, while Yale’s famous Skull and Bones society was funded by the biggest American opium dealers of them all – the Russell family. The most famous landmark on the Columbia University campus is the Low Memorial Library, which honors Abiel (Abbot) Low, a New Yorker who made it big in the Pearl River Delta and bankrolled the first cable across the Atlantic. Princeton University’s first big benefactor, John Green, sold opium in the Pearl River Delta with Warren Delano.

    The list goes on and on: Boston’s John Murray Forbes’s opium profits financed the career of transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson and bankrolled the Bell Telephone Company. Thomas Perkins founded America’s first commercial railroad and funded the Boston Atenaeum. These wealthy and powerful drug-dealing families combined to create dynasties.

    Illegal, addictive drugs. Democrats. Or, did I misunderstand the lesson that was the Kennedys?

    If he had any stones, he’d drop out and tell his supporters to vote for Tancredo. He can’t because the GOP believes in a two party system; only two parties. The GOP doesn’t care if a DEM gets elected as long as a 3rd party candidate doesn’t. But that’s not the way the DEMS feel. They’d rather see the 3rd party person get elected instead of the GOP.

    The RINOs and Country Club Republican crowd have changed the GOP for the worse.

    BlackFlag, do you have some links. It has been my belief for some time, that you can trace the corruption of politics in the US to gangs: Boston gangs, New York gangs, Chicago gangs, LA gangs and San Francisco gangs. Richard Daley in Chicago comes from the Irish Athletic Club in Bridgeport. These gangs learned quickly that survival meant moving from the streets to the city halls. They had their kids become lawyers, paid off judges, took over city police departments and fire departments, and took over the unions.

    They absorbed the rival gangs, usually started by different ethnic groups. The radical left is paid for and used as useful idiots for the continuation of the gangs, who need to continually expand their victim base. All the time, they never see a prison cell and live lives of grand opulence. Pelosi herself comes from the New York gang.

    Obama is a made man of the Chicago gang, probably introduced by Resko. Soros is the internationalist, and still active member of the Nazi gang, again widening the playing field.

    You’re so right about corruption and thuggery.
    Yesterday I heard talk radio Dana Loesch talking about the corrupt little weasel, Russ Carnahan, in Missouri and allegations, traced back to his minions about Ed Martin, the GOP candidate.
    The allegations about Martin are his supposed legal involvement to assist pedophile priests in the Catholic church in Missouri to not be prosecuted. The blog site 24th State has done some investigating and traced the false allegations back to a NBC Dateline producer.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.24thstate.com/

    According to 24th State, this producer received money from Carnahan’s campaign within the last 120 days which is against the law.

    You misunderstood my point. Yes, it makes a difference whether the Democrats hold onto the Senate. My point was that Reid won’t care how close the election was or that he had to steal it as long as he stays majority leader.

    It’s discouraging to watch politics in Missouri. We’ve voted in a dead guy (Carnahan’s dad) and talk has it that McCaskill won her seat through voter fraud. I’m so proud to live in a state of idiots.

    Believe me, voters are stupid enough to do this anywhere. When out-and-out Marxists are leading or nearly tied in the polls it tells you that the teachers union has been successful in graduating idiots.

    John Hickenlooper: An anarchist in a suit. Love the suave photo with the jacket casually slung over the shoulder, like it’s from some yuppie men’s catalog instead of the menacing hood he should be wearing.

    Did he wear glasses at one time? He has that Tom Daschle – “Yes I used to look like the dork I am but now I have contacts” look about him.

    Back in the day, Denver had a liberal but not insane mayor named Federico Pina. He was liberal, to be sure, but had a reasonable amount of common sense. Hickenlooper, in contrast, is a radical leftist. Where traditional liberals like Mayor Pina would tack left, they would come back to the center when it was practical to do so. Hickenlooper, in contrast, is a radical ideologue. He will push to make Colorado a socialist state.

    A Democrat radical ideologue, pushing to make another state a socialist marvel, what a novel concept and so enticing for so many Coloradans. Its worked so well in so many other states, don’t you know, it’ll work so much better in CO.

    We had to work for years to take the government here away from the Democrats, and we don’t need yours to help them to take it back. The sad fact is that people are leaving your bankrupt state in droves, too many of them are coming here where the jobs are, and too many of them are leftist.
    However, what I was talking about is your usual rant: It’s Texas’ (and everybody else’s) fault that California keeps electing liberals.

    Join the club. The voters here in California are such idiots and actually insane, in that they want to elect Jerry Brown, again, to complete the job of destroying the state he began in the 70′s.

    Not that Meg Whitman is such a great alternative, but, Brown? Again? The living epitome of insanity – doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.

    Ditto. I believe she has a better shot at ridding CA of the cancerous infection of Boxer than Whitman does at putting Brown into what should be permanent political retirement.

    Man, a lot of families made their fortunes in this country running drugs, booze, numbers, etc. Then they used that profit to become power brokers in leadership positions, even if they just bought someone off. The Kennedys ran booze. Others exploited slaves or cheap labor to amass their power and wealth. Now they use those ill gotten gains to protect their wealth and power.

    If CA passes prop 19, the marijuana initiative, maybe I should get in on the money train and make some big bucks early on.

    Then I can start a phone sex line, a beer distributorship and maybe get into ketchup and finally hedge fund management or an alternative energy company supported by other peoples tax dollars.

    Yeah, thats the ticket. Easy street, here I come. Can you say Senator T-Bone? I will work hard for that title and I deserve it.

    T-Bone – Kennedys, law breakers, yes. But it wasn’t just in the Prohibition-business.

    Everything I’m about to type is alledged, rumor, speculation and (wink wink) heard behind the barn.

    (many hints here – http://thurly.net/07y5)

    Aristotle Onassis was one of the world’s largest drug runners; using a fleet of post-WWII Victory ship tankers which he was not supposed to have courtesy of federal law. There’s a long and complicated story about how he acquired them. Onassis moved mass quantities of drugs in those leaky tubs along with oil (perfect cover) and eventually, so Rumor Central has it, infringed on territory Joe Kennedy coveted. As in, allegedly, Joe had designs on import/export of felony class addictive drugs having learned smuggling routes, customs bypasses and the rest of it when he was in the Prohibition business.

    When Joe Kennedy was snuggled up to the US Navy he had the Navy seize Onassis’ fleet of Victory ships, beginning a lifelong Irish/Greek vendetta blood feud. Which encompassed not only Jack Kennedy’s death, but Robert’s as well and Onassis heirs and children. Culminating in John Jr.s death. The ultimate payback was marrying the widow of his sworn enemy, and you may now use your imagination how Onassis coerced that, and how badly Jackie was used accordingly (to protect her children).

    Not only did these two powers cross swords over smuggling felony class drugs, but when Onassis was kicked out of Monte Carlo – a principality he owned most of – he set his sights on recreating his Monte Carlo free-wheeling banking, gambling and super-wealth haven in Haiti. But the Kennedys had already set in motion plans for exactly the same thing for Haiti. More titanic power struggles.

    No, the Kennedys didn’t just run whiskey and molasses. It’s a lot …. A LOT … deeper than that.

    also, the following may or may not be based in fact, but it makes for interesting reading and a lot of it is on the record http://thurly.net/07y7
