The Goods On Hillary Further General Election Mess For Dems

Dick Morris first worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton during Bill's 1978 successful bid for Governor of Arkansas. Morris continued serving as an advisor to the Clintons all the way to Bill's stint in the oval office. If you want the goods on Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton, he is the man to go to.

Morris is in no way shy about providing information on Hillary. In a recent article coauthored by Eileen McGann, he compiled a list of Hillary's "admitted lies" and stated that she "simply cannot tell the truth."

Here is a look at Hillary's scoreboard according to the article.

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)

"Whoppers She Won't Confess To"

• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).
Hillary is obviously less than honest. However the problems of the Democratic party extend well beyond Hillary.

Barack Obama also portrays a less-than-honest nature. His whole campaign has been one big stump for "change" and unification. Yet he adheres to a cult-like theological doctrine that promotes separatism and calls for a change that is downright scary.


He also represents an extreme-left view in the Democratic party. As a state senator in Illinois he rallied against the "Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act" that was brought forth to protect the murder of children who survived an abortion attempt to be born alive. Even Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer of California who is known for her extreme left views refused to oppose the issue when it was brought forth in the U.S. Senate and said that it "certainly does not attack Roe v. Wade."

Any way you look at it, the Democratic party has found itself in an absolute mess in regards to finding a good general election candidate for the presidency. How any conscientious voter could willingly vote for either during the event, is beyond my understanding.

Saddam Picked Up Tab For Dem Congressional Trip

On Wednesday the unsealed Justice Department indictment against Muthanna Al-Hanooti-a top official for a Detroit based Muslim charity called Life for Relief-reflects that Saddam Hussein’s principal foreign intelligence paid for a 2002 widely criticized visit to Iraq by three House Democrats.

Al-Hanooti is charged with conspiring to act as an agent of the Iraqi government, violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by illegally obtaining the Iraqi oil contract, and three counts of making false statements to FBI agents.

Al-Hanooti, who was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport Tuesday night after returning from a trip to the Middle East is said to have planned and organized the trip of House Democrats Jim McDermott of Washington State, Mike Thompson of California and the now retired David E. Bonior of Michigan.

All three congressional members making the trip were against a war with Iraq and McDermott charged that President George W. Bush was willing to "mislead the American people" about the need for war.

Republicans blasted the delegation members at the time claiming that they sounded like spokesmen for the Iraqi government. Apparently their reflections were not too far fetched.

No Escape for Pelosi When Dems Eat Their Own

The Democratic party's effort to eat its own as it implodes from within has not spared Speaker Nancy Pelosi from the action. A group of wealthy Dems supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign for the presidency has sent a warning letter to Pelosi regarding her recent comments about how superdelegates should base their support decision.

Pelosi has not officially endorsed either Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Clinton for the nomination. However she recently stated in a ABC interview that "If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what's happened in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic party." The statement was widely reported as a boost to the Obama campaign since he is currently leading in pledged delegates.

The donors indirectly threatened Pelosi's purse strings as "strong supporters of the DCCC" and urged her to "clarify" her position with "a more open view ."

Here is the letter in its entirety.

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the US House of Representatives
Office of the Speaker
H-232, US Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Madame Speaker,

As Democrats, we have been heartened by the overwhelming response that our fellow Democrats have shown for our party’s candidates during this primary season. Each caucus and each primary has seen a record turnout of voters. But this dynamic primary season is not at an end. Several states and millions of Democratic voters have not yet had a chance to cast their votes.

We respect those voters and believe that they, like the voters in the states that have already participated, have a right to be heard. None of us should make declarative statements that diminish the importance of their voices and their votes. We are writing to say we believe your remarks on ABC News This Week on March 16th did just that.

During your appearance, you suggested super-delegates have an obligation to support the candidate who leads in the pledged delegate count as of June 3rd , whether that lead be by 500 delegates or 2. This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party’s intent in establishing super-delegates in 1984 as well as your own comments recorded in The Hill ten days earlier:

"I believe super-delegates have to use their own judgment and there will be many equities that they have to weigh when they make the decision. Their own belief and who they think will be the best president, who they think can win, how their own region voted, and their own responsibility.’”

Super-delegates, like all delegates, have an obligation to make an informed, individual decision about whom to support and who would be the party’s strongest nominee. Both campaigns agree that at the end of the primary contests neither will have enough pledged delegates to secure the nomination. In that situation, super-delegates must look to not one criterion but to the full panoply of factors that will help them assess who will be the party’s strongest nominee in the general election.

We have been strong supporters of the DCCC. We therefore urge you to clarify your position on super-delegates and reflect in your comments a more open view to the optional independent actions of each of the delegates at the National Convention in August. We appreciate your activities in support of the Democratic Party and your leadership role in the Party and hope you will be responsive to some of your major enthusiastic supporters.

Sincerely,

Marc Aronchick

Obama and Rev. Wright-Who's Supporting Who?

Rev. Jeremiah Wright's tendency to preach bizarre and often hate filled political doctrine versus the teachings of the Holy Bible has been widely reported. As the former pastor of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama's home church-Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago-he can be seen in many videos stumping directly in the pulpit for Barack Obama.

The "church" itself has come under IRS investigation for what appears to be blatant violations of allowed political activity under the guidelines for tax-exempt status as a church described in section 501(c)(3) and in section 170(b)(1)(A)(i)of the IRS Code.
See related story: Obama's Church No Stranger to the IRS

Barack Obama may be trying to distance himself from some of the Anti-American, anti-semitic and racist statements made by Wright in the pulpit but the recent release of Obama's tax returns reflect continued financial support of the "church" and hence its message. In 2005 and 2006 alone, the Obama family gave $27,500 to the "church."

The revelation of this information leaves us to ponder-who is really supporting who?

Hillary Weighs In On Pastor Disaster

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton previously refrained from inserting herself into the firestorm surrounding the recently revealed hate doctrine favored by rival candidate Sen. Barack Obama's home church in Chicago.

On Tuesday she told reporters from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that "He would not have been my pastor. You don't choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend."

Clinton went on to compare Wright's remarks to the "hate speech" of talk-show host Don Imus, who was fired from CBS last year for comments he made about the Rutgers women's basketball team.

Clinton's comments about Obama's choice are dead on target. However the timing of her response appears to be a move to deflect attention from her own controversy. Hillary was recently caught exaggerating the conditions of a trip she made to Bosnia during her reign as first lady. She has admitted that she "misspoke" about the visit.

First Lady Under Enemy Fire & The Walk Out on Fox

Welcome to the second edition of On The wRite Side.Org's Liberal Video Cinema.

Today we have the harrowing tale of a First Lady from the United States of America who bravely travels to the front lines of a dangerous military operation to show support for the brave troops that are risking their lives for the country she represents. Will she survive when she herself comes under enemy sniper fire???

Hang on to your seats. This is a real nail-biter.

WHEW!!! That was a close one!

Next up we have video coverage of the smack down-mayhem that recently took place on the "Fox and Friends" morning show. To prepare you, we have included the juicy details provided by the forever-accurate "Huffington Post" as an introduction.

Mayhem At Fox News: Anchor Walks Off Set, Wallace Rails Network For "Obama-Bashing"

Huffington Post |March 21, 2008 10:53 AM

Fox News' very own anchors are speaking out — and walking off — over what they perceive to be "Obama-bashing" on their network.

This morning on "Fox and Friends," Brian Kilmeade walked off the set after a dispute with his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson (she who celebrates deadly floods) and Steve Doocy over Obama's comment that his grandmother is a "typical white person." Kilmeade argued that the remark needed to be taken in context and eventually got so fed up with his co-hosts that he walked off set.

Oh my! How dare they bash Obama like that! Thank God no one was seriously injured.

Obama Campaign Tries To Link Hillary to Wright

On Thursday evening, the Obama campaign released to the New York Times a 1998 picture of former president Bill Clinton with Jeremiah Wright at a White House function and also a letter written to Wright from Hillary Clinton that thanked him for the function's prayer.

Presidential candidates meet thousands of people on the campaign trail and take thousands of pictures with complete strangers. If a candidate actually obtains the presidency much more of the same awaits plus they gain a large support staff whose primary purpose is to do things like write polite "thank you letters." Many of these letters are signed by the president or their spouse without either ever actually remembering the event it references. After all, they do have other things to focus on.

A spokesman for Clinton campaign said that they did not believe the Clintons had met with Mr. Wright before the speech or were aware of any views expressed by him at his church.

The Obama campaign said that they were providing the information to show that Wright was well respected by many, including Mr. Clinton.

Hillary is not on my top ten list by any means. Nonetheless I must give credit where credit is due. I seriously doubt that the Clintons agree with much if any of the recently reveled hate speech from Jeremiah Wright-particularly when you consider the fact that they were the targets in much of it. At the very least, the Clinton political machine is way too savvy to risk hanging around or publicly accepting council from someone as controversial as Wright.

Barack's last name might not be Spitzer, but he has been caught with his pants down nonetheless. The release of this information is nothing more than a sad and desperate attempt by the Obama campaign to neutralize the situation and deflect attention.

Obama's Super Delegate Pastor Sounds Super Familiar

State Senator,Rev. James T. Meeks (D-IL) is a super delegate pledged to presidential candidate Barack Obama. It has been said that Meeks is an advisor and confidant of Obama. He has also been known to render controversial sermons in the pulpit of his Chicago based church-Salem Baptist. The video below reflects one of his sermons and its message sounds earily familiar.


If you have trouble viewing this video, click here.

Meeks has also been identified as receiving $20,000 in campaign donations from Antoin "Tony" Rezko of Chicago. Obama has recently come under fire for accepting large campaign contributions from Rezko who started receiving tax dollars to build housing for the poor after donating major amounts of money to particular political campaigns. Rezko is currently on trial for corruption charges.

Is it just me or is the Obama campaign starting to sound like a broken record?

Obama Refuses To Cut Ties With Racist Pastor

On Tuesday Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama gave what many has dubbed "the race speech" in an attempt to explain his view on video clips recently released into the media showing some of the anti-American, racist and hate filled sermons delivered by his mentor and former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama previously claimed amnesia and sited absence at church services as an excuse for his tolerance of Wright's remarks. Today he had a different story.
(To see an example of the referenced video clips, click here.)

"Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely – just as I’m sure many of you have heard remarks from your pastors, priests, or rabbis with which you strongly disagreed."

After his admission to being present and aware, he offered the following explanation for his continued association with Wright.

"Why not join another church? And I confess that if all that I knew of Reverend Wright were the snippets of those sermons that have run in an endless loop on the television and You Tube, or if Trinity United Church of Christ conformed to the caricatures being peddled by some commentators, there is no doubt that I would react in much the same way."

Although many Americans hoped that Obama would go a step further than simply "condemning" particular comments made by Wright, he refused to budge on the issue of possible severance. He stated that Wright was "like family" and had strengthened his faith, officiated his wedding, and baptized his children.

"I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community," he said. "I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe."

How Obama can equate the fearful, yet insensitive remarks of his own grandmother to the message of hate preached by Jeremiah Wright is beyond my understanding.

What I do know is that you can't choose your relatives but you can choose your pastor. It's sad to see an American presidential candidate that has chosen to receive and maintain 20 years of council from a man who stands in a pulpit and urges his followers to say "God D*** America" instead of "God Bless America."

Obama's Church No Stranger to the IRS


Recently I wrote an article about how "sermons" given by Rev. Jeremiah Wright at presidential candidate Barack Obama's home "church"-the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, IL-clearly reflected violations of the Internal Revenue Service's guidelines for allowed political activity. What I was not aware of when I wrote the original article, is the fact that this "church" is no stranger to the IRS. They have recently been warned.
To read referenced article, review the quoted tax guidelines and witness the travesty yourself, click here.

On February 25, 2008 the UCC received a letter from the IRS stating the following.

Because a reasonable belief exists that the United Church of Christ ("church") has engaged in political activities that could jeopardize its tax-exempt status as a church described in section 501(c)(3) and exempt under section 501(a), this letter is notice of the beginning of a church tax inquiry described in IRC section 7611(a). We are sending it because we believe it is necessary to resolve questions concerning your tax-exempt status as a church described in section 501(c)(3) and in section 170(b)(1)(A)(i)of the Code.

The letter went on to explain that the concern was due to articles posted on several websites including the church's own that stated that presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama had addressed nearly 10,000 church members gathered at a UCC activity and additionally allowed Obama volunteers to place campaign tables outside to promote his campaign.

Apparently the IRS did not know at the time that the "church function-turned-Obama rally" was only the beginning. The church released for sale it's own version of a "greatest hits" series featuring the "sermons" of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. When the media obtained copies, they were put on national display. The videos appear to reflect many blatant and disgraceful violations of the IRS's qualification for tax-exempt status. The Obama rally in hiding was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

A law professor by the name of Jonathan Turley recently said, "the only biblical passage that the IRS endorses is Matthew 22:21-Render onto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s."

It appears it's time for one organization to pay up its tab with Caesar. When it comes to tax-exempt church status and the IRS, racist political agend-ites need not apply.

A Needed Knock On A Chicago Church Door

When Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) was running for the Republican nomination, many Southern Baptist preachers received "official looking" anonymous letters prior-warning them that if they in any way tried to sway support for Huckabee in the pulpit that they would be subject to loosing their tax-exempt status from the IRS. The Republican nomination has been settled and now a legitimate violation of the IRS statutes has been discovered.

The IRS states the standard clearly:

To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in sect
