California Conservative

Eighteen or more months ago, conservatives thought Hillary Clinton was the prohibitive favorite to win the Democrats’ presidential nomination. In that context, Rudy Giuliani seemed like the perfect GOP opponent. The reason why conservatives thought that was because many thought that Rudy was the only Republican able to slay Hillary in the debates, on the campaign trail and eventually in Electoral College.

Fast forward to today and I’m forced to admit that I think Barack Obama is more ruthless than Bill or Hillary Clinton. Here’s why I think that:

1) When Kathleen Willey threatened to go public with accusations that President Clinton sexually harassed her, when Paula Jones filed a lawsuit against President Clinton,when Jennifer Flowers went public with the fact that she’d had an affair with Bill Clinton, the Clintons’ response was simple. Bill Clinton and the now-infamous Clintonistas attacked with a relentless ruthlessness. James Carville called Paula Jones trailer trash. PI’s were hired to dig up dirt on Kathleen Willey and allegedly intimidate her. Hillary talked about non-existent vast right wing conspiracies.

Fast forward to this week. Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, asked Sen. Obama about his tax plan. Then Joe told Sen. Obama that his plan sounded alot like socialism. Team Barry has publicly ridiculed him since that went public. The Agenda Media played Carville’s role by digging into every part of Mr. Wurzelbacher’s life. They parked TV trucks outside Mr. Wurzelbacher’s home. The biggest appreciable difference is that Bill Clinton didn’t go after Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey or Jennifer Flowers publicly like Sen. Obama AND Sen. Biden went after Mr. Wurzelbacher.

2) Sen. Obama tried silencing journalists Stanley Kurtz and David Freddoso for digging into Sen. Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers when they worked together at the Woods Foundation. The Obama campaign didn’t just try to discredit these journalists. They simply tried silencing them outright. Whenever Sen. Obama has encountered a serious opponent, his initial instinct has been to eliminate that opponent by getting them thrown off the ballot.

Playing on a national stage was different. Because he couldn’t run Hillary off the ballot, he instead showed his ruthlessness by making demeaning sexist statements that belittled her. Here’s one example of Sen. Obama’s sexist comments from the campaign trail:

“You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out,” Obama said.

That’s a pretty sexist statement. NBC’s Andrea Mitchell and Norah O’Donnell noticed Sen. Obama’s sexist statement:

Norah O’Donnell: “He said, ‘I understand when she’s down, that she makes these kinds of attacks.’ It’s getting a little personal.”

Andrea Mitchell: “It’s getting a little personal and, very frankly, you know how deeply we interpreted every comment to look for some sort of racial motivation before South Carolina. A lot of people said it was there. But, you know, when you start describing a female candidate as being ‘down’ and ’striking back,’ I don’t know, that’s a little edgy, don’t you think?”

Norah O’Donnell: “Yeah. And I think there’s gonna be a lot more comments about that.”*

Sen. Obama’s ruthlessness is apparent to anyone who’s interested in the truth. Sen. Obama’s calm public demeanor hides his ruthlessness. If the swooning media didn’t have an orgasmic view of Sen. Obama, they might’ve noticed his sexist statements.

The ladies of PUMA noticed. They finally said no more to Sen. Obama’s sexism. Instead, they said that they weren’t going to tolerate Sen. Obama’s sexism. Party unity wasn’t their primary concern; fighting Sen. Obama’s sexism was.

Another sign of Sen. Obama’s ruthlessness and lawlessness is his association with ACORN, the voter fraud specialists. Liberals reading this will likely say that Sen. Obama didn’t pay them $800,000. Salena Zito notes in this post that there isn’t much difference between CSI and ACORN:

Citizens Services Inc. is headquartered at the same address as ACORN’s national headquarters in New Orleans. Citizens Services was established in December 2004 to “assist persons and organizations who advance the interests of low- and moderate-income people,” according to paperwork filed in Louisiana. In a 2006 ACORN publication, Citizen Services Inc. is described as “ACORN’s campaign services entity.”

The same people that work for ACORN work for CSI, too. They’re housed in the same building. This isn’t unique amongst far left organizations. I wrote about a similar situation here:

In CAF’s FAQ page, someone asked if they could contribute to their organization. The unsurprising response was “Yes!” They then linked to a secure website to contribute online. After that, they listed this address for people wanting to simply send a check via snail mail:

Campaign for America’s Future
1825 K Street, NW, Suite 400
Washington, DC 20006

Please make your check out to “Campaign for America’s Future.”

I didn’t think that citizen activists maintained offices on K Street in Washington, DC. That’s because K Street is known for housing major lobbying firms. That’s why I’ve nicknamed K Street the Lobbyists’ Lair. I’ll stand by that nickname.

Here’s what Jeff Birnbaum wrote about the tenants at 1825 K Street:

The convergence began in January of last year when USAction, a grass-roots organization with eager activists in two dozen states, was hunting for additional space and leased more square footage than it needed on the second floor of 1825. It ended up subletting to Americans United for Change, its rapid-response confederate in the successful fight in 2005 to defeat President Bush’s plan to add private accounts to Social Security. (Woodhouse is president of that group.)

Soon thereafter, Campaign for America’s Future, which promotes liberal causes mostly on the economic and domestic fronts, was also seeking a new home and decided to alight on the fourth floor. It moved there in mid-February of this year and soon took on a tenant of its own, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, a coalition directed by Thomas Matzzie, who is also the Washington director of MoveOn.org Political Action.

Now every weekday is a rolling meeting with staffers from each of the organizations mixing with one another on such issues as lowering prescription drug prices and increasing funding for children’s health programs.

Colaboration and cooperation are undoubtedly the motto that these far left organizations operate by. Bringing it back to my original point, why shouldn’t we think that CSI and ACORN don’t work hand-in-hand with each other, especially considering their admitted ties to each other?

3) Another bit of proof that Sen. Obama is ruthless is the fact that Sen. Obama didn’t hesitate in accusing Bill Clinton of being a racist. That’s pretty outrageous considering the fact that Toni Morrison once called Bill Clinton the first black president:

In her now-famous defense of a scandal-plagued Bill Clinton, Nobel prizewinner Toni Morrison, went so far as to call him “our first black president. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime.” “Clinton,” Morrison wrote in the 1998 New Yorker essay, “displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas.”

That didn’t matter to Sen. Obama. His hinting that Bill Clinton was a racist was simply the best strategy for winning the South Carolina primary. Sen. Obama didn’t hesitate in suggesting that Geraldine Ferraro had made a racist remark when she said this:

“I was talking about historic candidacies and what I started off by saying (was that) if you go back to 1984 and look at my historic candidacy, which I had just talked about all these things, in 1984 if my name was Gerard Ferraro instead of Geraldine Ferraro, I would have never been chosen as a vice presidential candidate,” Ferraro said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “It had nothing to do with my qualification.”

The controversy began Tuesday when the national media picked up on comments Ferraro made in an interview last week with the Daily Breeze newspaper in Torrance, Calif.: “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

Here’s Sen. Obama’s response to that non-controversy:

“Part of what I think Geraldine Ferraro is doing, and I respect the fact that she was a trailblazer, is to participate in the kind of slice and dice politics that’s about race and about gender and about this and that, and that’s what Americans are tired of because they recognize that when we divide ourselves in that way we can’t solve problems,” Obama said on NBC’s “Today” show.

That’s alot of nonsense coming from someone who didn’t hesitate preemptively playing the race card.

It’s time we exposed Sen. Obama for who he is: a ruthless man who won’t think twice about silencing his critics, whether it’s with the Fairness Doctrine or whether it’s with his allies smearing his opponents. The First Amendment means nothing to Sen. Obama, especially if he’s legitimately being attacked with facts and truth.
