“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that’s where it’s really at.”
–Obama friend William Ayers


The many questionable associations of Barack Obama is the subject of the latest Red Planet Cartoon.

Front and center among those is Obama's "good friend", Bill Ayers. Ayers went from being a leader of the Weather Underground into writing grants for Barack Obama, community organizer.

This is the first time in American history that a man (Ayers) has parlayed bombing the Pentagon into having a presidential candidate announce from his home.

Millions of voters are unaware of this connection between Obama and Bill Ayers because the Mainstream Media, as usual, is more intent on "protecting" rather than "reporting" the news.

RPC helps correct this situation and starts things rolling with the quote and cartoon above and then follows up with this great quote from Stanley Kurtz, National Review: A Cover-Up in the Making?

The problem of Barack Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers will not go away. Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn were terrorists for the notorious Weather Underground during the turbulent 1960s, turning fugitive when a bomb — designed to kill army officers in New Jersey — accidentally exploded in a New York townhouse. Prior to that, Ayers and his cohorts succeeded in bombing the Pentagon. Ayers and Dohrn remain unrepentant for their terrorist past. Ayers was pictured in a 2001 article for Chicago magazine, stomping on an American flag, and told The New York Times just before 9/11 that the notion of the United States as a just and fair and decent place “makes me want to puke.” Although Obama actually launched his political career at an event at Ayers’s and Dohrn’s home, Obama has dismissed Ayers as just “a guy who lives in my neighborhood,” and “not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.” For his part, Ayers refuses to discuss his relationship with Obama.

Red Planet then adds a McCain video on Ayers and Obama and its fine collection of info links, including one to DBKP's The ‘Tangential’ Bill Ayers. All the links are chocked full of info on the topic, but Bob Owens: The Ayers-Weatherman Terrorist Attack as It Might Have Happened is particularly good.

Will the media investigate the years-long connection between a man who bombed the Pentagon and the man who wants to run it?

Our prediction: Inside the tank for Obama is a hard place to begin an investigation.

Emailing RPC's Barack and Friends to someone you know might be considered an act of public service.

Obama Campaign: From 'Juggernaut' to 'Meltdown' in 4 Months

Headed for the Exits
Obama in May: "JUGGERNAUT"
Obama in September: "MELTDOWN"




“We’re witnessing nothing less than a full-on meltdown..”
–Rush Limbaugh


Barack Obama's campaign--described as a 'juggernaut' less than four months ago, is now facing renewed questions, scrutiny and fund-raising challenges--and one commentator calls it a "meltdown".

Barack Obama knows it. The election he had in the bag is slipping away…

Democrats know something, and desperation is setting in. They have a novice campaigner who wanders off message. With every advantage in the primaries, Obama couldn’t win the big states — New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania — against Hillary Clinton, even when he got to define the rules for running against him. She could never risk alienating the base she’ll need in 2012; John McCain and Sarah Palin have no such constraints — hence the panic.

Panic Sets In For Obama, Democrats, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Less than four months ago, Joe Trippi, the string-puller for Howard Dean and John Edwards, said, "“Obama has been battered, beaten, screamed at, yelled at, kicked and - nothing, totally unflappable, his staff’s unflappable, no schisms. McCain has imploded twice. So you have to have more confidence in Obama’s ability to put a team together and keep it together.”

Joe Trippi, a Democratic consultant who pioneered some of the successful grassroots and internet techniques when he ran Howard Dean’s campaign in 2004, said that John McCain is already in “deep, deep trouble” because of a poor organisation and an anaemic fundraising total of about a fifth of the $500 million raised by Mr Obama and Mrs Clinton.

“Obama’s got the strongest organisation in history because of what he’s done with the internet and plugging volunteers into the paid organisers operation. McCain’s team is in a shambles. He has no organisation and no grassroots fundraising operation.”

If the election were only held among Democrat strategists and Mainstream Media pundits, they could have turned out the lights in May. However, there's the little matter of an election that involves millions upon millions of voters whom turn off politics until the last eight weeks before the election.

Actually, some people turn off politics and talking heads until the day before the election. Whatever the case, the spirits don't seem to be as high in the Obama organization these days.

Red Planet Cartoons has a generous helping of links to back up the cartoon at the top of the page. Among them are:

FoxNews: McCain Gains 16 Points Among Independent Voters.

HotAir: Obama’s Fundraising Drying Up.

ABC11: McCain leads by 20 in North Carolina.

Rasmussen: Obama’s Lead Down to 2… in Washington.

For the complete listing of the polls that have tightened up or changed in the last week, check out "Heading for the Exits" at RPC.

Why the sudden and swift reassessments?

Readers will make their own judgments.

Obama may or may not be in a 'meltdown', but he's certainly not a 'juggernaut' anymore.

Palin Derangement Syndrome for Dummies

Newest MSM Affliction:
Palin Derangement Syndrome
Red Planet Cartoons

“There’s something about this lady that scares the left senseless. As if the left wasn’t already senseless.”
–Neal Boortz

Red Planet Cartoons has already spotted the latest mental affliction to strike the financially-ailing MSM: Palin Derangement Syndrome. The Cartoon above is spot on.


RPC starts off with a little question from Thomas Sowell: Is the MSM 24/7 Palin attack frenzy a knock or a boost?

“The public’s right to know” is often invoked by the mainstream media, when what they are really talking about is the media’s right to smear those that they disagree with politically.

It is doubtful whether the public is half as obsessed with Sarah Palin’s daughter as CNN obviously is. Even before this particular story was hyped, CNN was among those in the media who had become something of a laughingstock for how they had gone overboard in favor of Barack Obama.

Increasingly, over the years, CNN has become less of a news reporting organization and more of a propaganda machine for liberal-left politics. Unfortunately, CNN is not alone.

It was not the newsworthiness of young Bristol Palin’s pregnancy that put it on the front page of the New York Times or interminably on the bottom of the screen at CNN. It was an opportunity for them to try to damage the political career of someone they disagreed with politically.

Red Planet add some clarifying links by Rich Lowry, Stephen Hayes and Michelle Malkin: The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse.

And there you have it: PDS boiled down into one easy-to-read post.

Even for pundits and the MSM.

I wonder if any of them will take the opportunity to read it?

Russia, Georgia: Dems, Voters Reminded World is Dangerous

There Is A Bear In The Woods
Russia Bombs Civilians in Georgia
Americans Reminded World is a Dangerous Place





Red Planet Cartoons reminds readers: There's a Bear in the Woods and the world is a dangerous place

From McClatchy: Civilians Were Only Targets Left As Russia Kept Bombing:

Miles away, at one of Tbilisi’s main hospitals, doctors struggled to care for the wounded, who arrived in waves throughout the day. Many were elderly. None was a soldier.

“Just now, we admitted eight patients,” said Tamara Saria, a doctor. “The age of all of them was no less than 80.”

“Do you see any military people here?” asked Nikoloz Kvachatze, another doctor. “These are all civilians.”

He was walking past an 80-year-old woman who had shrapnel wounds across the right side of her face. The woman, frail with thin white hair, was gasping and wheezing into an oxygen mask

“They are punishing us,” Kvachatze said of the Russians. “They are punishing us for trying to be independent.”

RPC also has a collection of background and informational links listed in the post.

In the rush of a busy day, voters sometimes forget how dangerous the world can be.

Barack Obama sometimes forgets it, too.

Russia's invasion of Georgia reminded everyone just how dangerous it is.
