Barack Obama aka Slim Shady

Tuesday, 6 May 2008 10:13 A GMT+01

Barack Obama made the politically expedient decision to distance himself from Rev. Wright and allow Rev. Wright's thirty years of superb laboring in the vineyard to be reduced to the work of a charlatan. Obama sold his pastor down the river.

The American Left Has Lost Its Balls

Friday, 2 May 2008 8:53 A GMT+01

Democrats Split: It's Class Conflict, Stupid

Wednesday, 30 April 2008 6:57 P GMT+01

Tuesday, 29 April 2008 11:20 A GMT+01

Monday, 28 April 2008 9:13 A GMT+01

The difference between the two factions: When the Republican calls for a 20 percent cut in wages, the Democrat decries this as outrageous and instead proposes a 10 percent cut. In short, the choice we are offered is that of the 'lesser of two evils.'

The Clintons' Cash Cow

Thursday, 10 April 2008 9:07 A GMT+01

Progressive forces, like the Nation magazine, say we should “exert pressure” on Clinton and Obama so as to move them to the left. How absurd! They are millionaire politicians who have enriched themselves along with the rest of a crass nouveau riche.

Al Gore Is Finished with Status Quo Politics

Thursday, 10 April 2008 9:06 A GMT+01

Sunday, 6 April 2008 9:23 A GMT+01

'Leftist' articles about 'freedom and democracy' in Belarus, Zimbabwe, Myanmar and Iran use language that mimics the propagandistic bilge that gushes in rivers from White House and State Department speechwriters trying to shape public opinion.

The Obama Curse: Progressive Websites Turn into Mainstream Media

Tuesday, 1 April 2008 8:49 A GMT+01

It doesn't matter that Obama parrots the words of Republicans when he speaks of "the excesses of the 60s and 70s." None of what he says matters, because speaking up would mean fighting back, and there is no progressive movement left to do that.

Calling Obama Left-Wing Is Ludicrous; He's a Soft Conservative

Friday, 28 March 2008 9:36 A GMT+01

As Obama heads into the final presidential primaries, McCain and other Republicans have already started to brand him a standard-order left-winger, "a down-the-line liberal," in a long line of Democratic White House hopefuls labeled as 'extremists.'

Gullible "Progressives" Drool over Obama

Wednesday, 26 March 2008 9:16 A GMT+01

Obama's story is one of kissing and climbing up to power in the industrialized world’s most unequal society. He's willing to play along with corporate elite, whose funding and media approval are required to make a “viable” run at the White House.

"Terrorism" Is Justified [Must Watch Video]

Tuesday, 25 March 2008 10:24 A GMT+01

Maureen Dowd Is a Racist [Like Most 'Middle' Americans]

Tuesday, 25 March 2008 10:22 A GMT+01

Maureen Dowd and the 'liberal' cabal only have time for 'good' blacks like Obama. They hate the black 'extremist.'"The Rev. Jeremiad Wright's Malcolm X-ism, the virulent racial pride, the separatism, the deep suspicion of America and the white man."

God Damn Reactionary America

Monday, 24 March 2008 10:14 A GMT+01

Obama’s abject surrender to white bias – and the failure of the Black bourgeoisie to criticism him for his craven behavior, further demonstrates that Blacks are retreating in the ideological fight for racial justice. The evidence is everywhere.

Tariq Ali: 1968 & All That [Where Has All the Rage Gone?]

Monday, 24 March 2008 10:13 A GMT+01

A storm swept the world in 1968. It started in Vietnam, then blew across Asia, crossing the sea and the mountains to Europe and beyond. A brutal war waged by the US against a poor south-east Asian country was seen every night on television.

Tibet, China & Western Hypocrisy

Monday, 24 March 2008 10:10 A GMT+01

What bothers me is the self-righteous Westerners' failure to examine themselves in the same light. China has a shaky record on human rights, but the West, particularly the US, has a human rights record that has created suffering around the world.

Capitalism in Crisis: We Need a Revolutionary Left

Sunday, 23 March 2008 9:46 A GMT+01

Obama Forced to Kowtow to the Whites

Friday, 21 March 2008 9:25 A GMT+01

Wednesday, 19 March 2008 9:49 A GMT+01

It's no coincidence that the only African-Americans who ever do discuss racism in anything but a superficial and politically correct fashion - and live to talk about it - are those not dependent on white patronage for their careers and livelihood.

Obama Bambozzles Us

Tuesday, 18 March 2008 9:52 A GMT+01

Social justice, as described by the left, usually involves a great deal of anti-capitalism and strong opposition to American foreign policy, much like that voiced by the Rev. Wright. By denouncing his pastor's words Obama exposes his conservativism.
