(Audacity runs in the family!!  Read this ya'll!)



She reportedly told AFI that it was unfortunate that the highly controversial Farrakhan made his support known before the election.



It's okay that he support Obama, ....just not BEFORE the election.  (What are you afraid of Mrs. Obama?) If Obama hides, minimizes and lies about his true agenda, the Mrs. certainly does not!

One of my daughter-in-laws has a mother that is blind. She says that even though she can't see the light she can still feel the heat and knows enough to go the other way. Unfortunately there are many that can't do even that and will still be deceived.

Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

If this were a true man of God he would have denounced the "messiah" title a long time ago and would do so each time it was brought up. Instead he uses it to continue to deceive the many so that they will follow him over the cliff.

Michelle Obama tries to make it sound like her and her husband speak for all African-Americans. I got news for her that she wouldn't like in the least bit. She needs to get off her racist podium and wake up to the real world.

He was educated abroad.

He was a member of the elite.

He ran for president on a platform that promised change.

He accused the opposition of outright lies about him.

Just a few points separated him from his opponent.

He claimed victory before a single vote was cast.

He encouraged "get-in-your-face" tactics.

He promised the poor he would work for them by "distrubuting the wealth more evenly."

He has associated with communists and islamists in a friendly supportive manner.

Does this sound familiar?




The man's name is Raila Odinga.

Barrack Obama supported this man and even capaigned for him using American tax payers money.

Is this the sort of person that we really want in the office of president?

After failing the election Raila Odinga accused the opposition of stealing the election.

He then riled up local tribes to participate in riots and genocide. Will we have this also?

“NO USA!” Chants in Carson defining moment of Election ‘08

On weekends when even Internet giants like the Drudge Report and FoxNews.com seem to be on skeleton staff, theodoresworld.net is wide awake.

So it was courtesy of Theodore’s World, sent to Canada Free Press by stalwart Dave Hollenbeck, that we got to see what I consider to be, the defining moment of Election ’08.

That defining moment happened at Carson, California, where Sarah Palin addressed throngs of an estimated 20,000 at the tennis stadium at the Home Depot Center.

The throngs who showed up to see and hear Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin were chanting, “USA! USA!”

Obama supporters on the same scene fomenting for revolution were chanting “No USA! “No USA!”

In that moment in Carson, the difference between John McCain and Barack Obama supporters could not have been any starker.

But as usual when the mainstream media covered the story, it was only to turn it around.

Carson, Calif. is the place where Palin went on the attack, starting on Obama’s connection to domestic terrorist William Ayers and others, to a wildly cheering crowd.

Don’t expect to see any alarms raised about the “No USA!” chant by the mainstream media. They were too busy reporting on the Bruce Springsteen “Bush Bash” going on at the same time in Philadelphia.

Sarah Palin accused Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists”.

Here’s what AP had to say about Palin’s criticism of Obama’s connection to Ayers: “By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is “palling around with terrorists” and doesn’t see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign.

“And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.”

In a media world where the lies of Barack Obama routinely go unchallenged, it is now “racist” to tell the American people the truth.

Back at Carson’s Home Depot Center, sheriffs escorted out five or six Obamabots as the crowds were chanting “USA!” USA!”

“Sarah riffed on one, saying something like, “We fight for their freedoms as well”.  (The) crowd loved it.” ( theodoresworld.net, Oct. 5, 2008).

In election campaigns as intense as Election ’08, it can be confusing for people, particularly when so many in the mainstream media have abandoned any pretense of fairness and balance.

To understand what is going on in the USA 30 days before election, we only have to turn to The video that could cost Obama the election. (here).

The video shows how Obama used his elected office—and taxpayers’ dollars—to support a man like Kenya’s Raila Odinga, self touted as “Your Agent for Change”.
Obama supporters in Carson chanted “No USA!” Odinga supporters in Kenya, brandished machetes and chanted “No Peace!”

Human Rights Watch states that Odinga’s Socialist Orange Democratic Movement “actively fomented post-election violence” when Raila lost by 231,728 votes.
In Kenya, allegations of vote rigging came before a single ballot was ever cast.

(Leftists and Obama supporters are already saying that SNOPES denies the veracity of the Odinga/Obama video.

But as Hollenbeck points out, “it wouldn’t be the first time that SNOPES said something was untrue that I KNEW was true!”)

Like the Artful Dodger of contemporary politics, Obama has wormed his way past the media and the American electorate at almost every opportunity.

There have been countless pictures of Obama throughout the campaign, most recently in the form of a short dress worn by a model on a Paris runway.  But the picture that best portrays Barack Obama is captured on The Video that could cost Obama the election.  It is a picture of Obama campaigning for Odinga with a megaphone!

Agents of change like Odinga and Obama are part of an all encompassing plan to force the populations of two once stable nations under the heel of soul-killing Communism.

In Soviet Subversion of the Free Press, a conversation with Yuri Bezmenov, it is explained in plain enough English how the useful idiots working against America today will be treated in the closing chapters of the takeover. 
 Bezmenov mentions useful idiots active since the 1960s, and in particular useful idiot Jane Fonda, now out on the hustings stumping for Obama.

“In future these people will be squashed like cockroaches.  They’re not going to be paid for their noble ideas.”

Vote rigging began in Kenya before the first votes were ever cast. The New York Post says, “Voter fraud is expected to be rampant” in Election 08.

If the Federal Elections Commission cannot clamp down on voter fraud by ACORN, the next stage of Ideological Subversion goes into action in what is arguably the greatest nation on earth.

God protect Americans from Obama and Marxist-Leninism in the Land of the Free!

Michelle Obama to African Press: Bribes? and “No Law Will Stop My Husband…”

The African Press International got under Michelle Obama’s skin and she came out swinging - bribing, actually. She offered API an invite to the inauguration, in exchange for a “good” story about her husband:

Quote
African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API.

API asks this question:

Did Barack Obama have any part in the recent arrest of Jerome Corisi in Kenya - because Raila Odinga IS the Prime Minister there? Her answer, according to API, was not to dig that which will support “evil” people. When asked who was evil:

Quote
…many conservative white people and even some African Americans were against her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because of envy.

DISCLAIMER:

Disclaimer: This report is controversial. Is it true? API is standing behind it. Obama campaign says huh uh. So far, MO has not released her own statement.

Here’s API’s update - and yes, I find it odd:

Quote
    ADDED HERE BELOW DUE TO HUGE INTEREST ON THE ABOVE STORY. (TIME 16:08 Scandinavian time)

    Verification of the story:
    We have found it necessary to publish a telephone number that can be used to reach us should anyone doubt the story. We are doing this because of many requests by many people who want to know more abouth the story.

    We are able to receive calls tomorrow the 16th of October through to the 18th October. We find it important that our readers get the truth and not be misled in any way. This is a true story and we stand by everyone written.

Let's get real! We are watching an attempted COMMUNIST TAKEOVER of America!

It's really PLAIN - SIMPLE - BLUNT - AND VERY UGLY!

This has nothing to do with RACE! - Although they have already played the RACE CARD!

FREEDOM AND OUR WAY OF LIFE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THIS!

Getting this type of evidence and information out to the PEOPLE has nothing to do with DIRTY POLITICS, rather just the opposite!

This is still a FREE COUNTRY - AT LEAST FOR NOW!

COMMUNIST countries ARE NOT FREE!

THERE IS REALLY NOTHING AMERICAN ABOUT OBAMA AND IT'S BEEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO HIDE ALL THE EVIDENCE! It's very difficult for Obama to even show basic respect for our flag. He's had to force himself to do so to get votes! After all, it stands for everything that Obama is against! He can't stand the STAR SPANGLED BANNER, but he's trying to stomach it long enough to win the election. I still have some trust in the American people, and I don't think they are going to allow Obama to turn this into a COMMUNIST country! I hope that my trust isn't naive. If so, we will all get to find out UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL about COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT! This lesson won't be pleasant, and it's already recorded in history numerous times.

Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.


Well I can say that it IS possible.  I am surrounded by Christian coworkers who I know truely love the Lord and yet are going to vote for this guy.  It makes me want to scream!  I know that they are getting their news from the main stream media though and have not search out other venues even though I tell them too.  I want so badly to send out emails Mission-wide with some of the articles that we have here and yet I can't do that.  It really is maddening.
I think it is too late to get a fair election.  It is too close to really make changes even though we know about ACORN.  I'm sure they are not the only ones.  And then when McCain has chances to say something, he doesn't.  Why is that?  I hate to start a conpiracy theory but what's REALLY going on?  Besides Satan and his demons are working 25/7 that is. 

Rev. 12: 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
   "Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God,
      and the authority of his Christ.
   For the accuser of our brothers,
      who accuses them before our God day and night,
      has been hurled down.
 11They overcame him
      by the blood of the Lamb
      and by the word of their testimony;
   they did not love their lives so much
      as to shrink from death.
 12Therefore rejoice, you heavens
      and you who dwell in them!
   But woe to the earth and the sea,
      because the devil has gone down to you!
   He is filled with fury,
      because he knows that his time is short."

I can understand that, sister. I am trying to spread the word to all that I can. Unfortunately I don't have a large enough audience in order to do more. It is frustrating to say the least. As we all have said before on here if he makes it into office then we know it was the Lord's will.

Kenyan insiders say Obama
was part of takeover strategy
Used 2006 'fact-finding' trip
to criticize sitting president

Former members of Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement party have told WND when Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama visited Kenya on a "fact-finding" trip in 2006, he was carrying out part of a secret election strategy that also included exploiting divisive tribal tensions and ultimately taking advantage of rioting that left 1,000 dead.

The strategy document outlining the campaign earlier was referenced in "The Obama Nation" but could not be fully authenticated at the time of publication.

Now, however, research conducted in Kenya by WND has confirmed the authenticity of the strategy memo, which was prepared by a five-person Odinga "core strategy team" led by Peter A. Nyongo, the secretary general of Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement party, with the assistance of four key Odinga ODM strategists, including Odinga speechwriter Adams Oloo.

It was reported to have been smuggled out of ODM offices by Christian former-ODM officials.

WND's sources in Kenya included several top ex-ODM officials who played key roles in Odinga's 2007 presidential campaign, only to turn on Odinga when the candidate's memorandum of understanding with Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, proved to be real.

In that Aug. 27, 2007, document, Odinga promises within six months of becoming president he would "rewrite the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared religions."

The former ODM sources in Kenya supported the authenticity of the campaign strategy by noting Odinga did conduct a campaign against President Mwai Kibaki by charging his administration with corruption, advancing anti-Kibaki sentiments aimed at inciting Kenyan youth to vote for Odinga and ultimately calling for protest by Odinga's fellow Luo tribal members. Kibaki is of the majority Kikuyu tribe.

The "protests" turned violent, and in January and February a brutal wave of Odinga-supporting, machete-wielding Luo mobs killed an estimated 1,000 members of the Kikuyu tribe, displaced over 350,000 Kenyans from their homes and destroyed some 800 Christian churches, all without a single mosque being damaged.

The sources reported Odinga simply was following the script his policy strategists laid out for him in the Nyongo strategy document.

The strategy document remains available at this link.

Obama's involvement amounted to a coordination with Odinga on the campaign, according to the sources.

The general tone of the strategy was to encourage the Odinga campaign to claim to be leading in the presidential race regardless of the actual numbers and be prepared to proclaim victory even if Odinga lost.

The officials poll results showed he lost to the incumbent by about 250,000 votes.

The plan called for "opportunities" for Odinga to pursue, including efforts to "exploit anti-Kikuyu statements," with a determination to "leverage the vulnerability of the Kibaki administration responses to corruption" and confront Kibaki with "a powerful anti-corruption message."

The final strategy the document calls for is exploiting ethnic tensions and using "violence as a last resort" to gain power. Among the 1,000 killed, reports say, were several dozen women and children who died when the Christian church in which they had sought refuge from marauding Muslim gangs was burned down around them.

The ex-ODM sources said Odinga followed the strategy script exactly, including his ultimate use of tribal conflict to gain power.

While Odinga never had explicitly demanded violence, the former ODM sources said Odinga used "code language" to his Luo backers to convey the instructions to burn Kikuyu homes, rape women and kill men.

Obama's part in the strategy was to openly attack the Kibaki administration in meetings where Odinga was in a very public attendance at Obama's side, the sources said.

WND previously reported a news report by a Chicago WBBM-TV news team of Obama's 2006 trip to Kenya. The report showed the senator undermining the Kibaki government in a speech delivered to the editorial staff at the Nairobi offices of the Standard, a prominent Nairobi newspaper, and at a separate appearance in which Obama delivered a public speech at Nairobi University of Nairobi, two hours after the appearance at the Standard.

The ex-ODM sources argued Obama and Odinga together were implementing in a coordinated fashion the strategy the Nyongo-led policy advisers had crafted in the internal strategy document.

The two politicians remained in touch through that time period, as WND also has published a report referencing a copy of a private Dec. 22, 2006, e-mail in which Obama personally informed Odinga that "all our correspondence [be] handled by Mr. Mark Lippert."

Lippert, at that time, was serving as a foreign policy advisor in Obama’s U.S. Senate office in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Times also reported Odinga visited Obama during three trips the Kenyan politician made to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

The Times also reported Obama sent his Senate office foreign policy adviser, Lippert, to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate and arrange for Obama's Senate "fact-finding" visit to Kenya later that year.

As further evidence that Obama and Odinga were coordinating to implement the campaign strategy outlined in the Nyongo-authored document, the ex-ODM sources in Kenya argued that Obama maintained almost daily cell phone contact with Odinga as the post-election tribal violence was unfolding in Kenya, even as Obama was campaigning in the final days of the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary, as has been reported by the BBC.

The ex-ODM sources said Obama worked after the election with former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to argue a position should be created to allow Odinga to share head of state as a compromise to end the violence.

The ex-ODM sources said during the post-election violence Obama did not call on Odinga to drop his charges of voter fraud or to withdraw completely from his efforts to become head of state as a strategy to calm his Luo tribe supporters and bring a halt to the violence.

WND confirmed in Kenya that at one point Annan and Rice actually pressured Kenyan Vice President Kolonzo to step down from his position to bring the Luo-mob protest violence to an end by appointing Odinga vice president so he could assume the nation's second highest political office.

When Kolonzo refused to step down, Annan and Rice proposed the Odinga-inspired plan to appoint him as prime minister, effectively allowing Odinga to share the head-of-state position with Kibaki, a solution that was adopted.

Get the book that started it all – Jerome Corsi's "The Obama Nation," personally autographed – for only $4.95, available today, but only from WND!

WND also reported on the authenticity of an Odinga campaign internal finance memorandum documenting that Obama arranged for Odinga to receive in his U.S. trips nearly $1 million in campaign contributions from Obama fund-raisers and donors to assist Odinga in his 2007 presidential campaign in Africa.

The finance memo, prepared by Shakeel Shabbir, the head of Odinga's campaign finance accounting section, also detailed that among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga's 2007 presidential run in Kenya was Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the second oldest sun of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi, who also was listed as contributing nearly $1 million to Odinga's campaign.

The Shabbir document lists the Obama-generated campaign contributions from the U.S. as having been donated by "Friends of Senator B.O."

Obama's campaign "Fight the Smears" website and a posting by Ben Smith at Politico.com have questioned the authenticity of the Obama-to-Odinga Dec. 22, 2006, e-mail by arguing the e-mails "appear not to have been written by a native English speaker," without addressing a second similar e-mail WND published, that should not occasion any linguistic quibbles.

Moreover, neither "Fight the Smears" nor the Smith posting disputed the substantive point made in the e-mails, namely that Lippert served to coordinate between Obama and Odinga while Lippert held a staff position in Obama's U.S. Senate office in Washington.

WND was unable to get a response from Obama with calls to his Washington office and Chicago campaign headquarters.

2nd lawsuit challenges Obama's citizenship
Man demands state verify birth records or remove senator from ballots

In a second lawsuit challenging Barack Obama's "natural born" citizenship, a Washington resident is demanding officials review original or certified birth documents for the Democratic Party presidential candidate.

Steven Marquis of Fall City, Wash., filed suit Oct. 9 in Washington State Superior Court, calling for Secretary of State Sam Reed to determine whether Obama is a citizen before Election Day. Marquis released a statement saying the state has the authority to "prevent the wholesale disenfranchisement of voters" who might have otherwise had the opportunity to choose a qualified candidate should records show Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.

"At this point, Mr. Obama has not allowed independent or official access to his birth records nor supporting hospital records," Marquis wrote. "The Hawaii Health Department has violated Federal law by ignoring formal Freedom of Information requests for the same."

Marquis referenced prominent Pennsylvania Democrat and attorney Philip J. Berg's lawsuit in U.S. District Court against Sen. Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee for proof of Obama's American citizenship.

"Mr. Obama failed to respond to the District Court's request to produce or allow access to the official documents (should they exist) and instead filed a motion to dismiss arguing the Plaintiff had no 'standing' or right to know," he said. "This non-response as of 9/24/2008 in Federal court casts doubt on the veracity of the electoral system and is the principal reason for this lawsuit."

Marquis said his late entry of the lawsuit is due to Obama's "delay and subsequent non response to reasonable request for valid certificates."

He indicated that his requests for certification of the birth documents were rejected by Washington's Office of the Secretary of State. Marquis requested an injunction to force the office to confirm Obama's U.S. citizenship or remove his name from Washington ballots. He said the agency is "specifically charged with certifying and guaranteeing the veracity of official documents and overseeing the elections to wit the people's confidence in the fundamental aspect of democracy is maintained."

However, Marquis continued, "To date, in this regard, Secretary of State Sam Reed has not carried out that fundamental duty."

Michelle Obama organized event with Ayers, husband
Invited domestic terrorist to discuss treatment of child murderers as adults

Michelle Obama in 1997 organized a university event in which she invited her husband, Sen. Barack Obama, and former Weathermen radical Bill Ayers to serve on a panel discussion about whether child murderers should be tried as adults.

Both Barack Obama and Ayers served on the side that opposed treating offending minors as adults.

Michelle Obama at the time was the University of Chicago's associate dean of Student Services and director of the college's Community Service Center, which sponsored the juvenile detention discussion Nov. 20, 1997.

She told the university's student newspaper she hoped the panel discussion would open a dialogue between members of the college and the broader Chicago community.

"We know that issues like juvenile justice impact the city of Chicago, this nation and – directly or indirectly – this campus. This panel gives students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it," she said.

Panel leaders invited by Michelle Obama included her husband, who taught law at the university; Ayers, who was a university education professor; and four other speakers who had experience with Chicago's juvenile detention system.

Barack Obama was billed as a leader "who is working to combat legislation that would put more juvenile offenders into the adult system."

Ayers, promoting the panel event, told the student newspaper, "We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn't suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?"

Ayers reportedly spent a year observing the juvenile detention system and in 1997 released a book, "A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court."

During his Weathermen days, Ayers once famously commented, "Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."

Several blogs noting the panel discussion commented the collusion seemed to evidence a closer relationship with Ayers than Obama has admitted.

In an ABC News interview, Obama described Ayers as "guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis."

The Sweetness and Light blog, which first reported on Michelle Obama's panel event, commented "we all must be mistaken, since we have been repeatedly reassured that Mr. Ayers 'was just a guy who lived in the Obamas' neighborhood.'"

Other blogs focused in part on Michelle Obama's invitation to Ayers as evidence of a family-wide relationship with the terrorist.

In 1995, Barack Obama served as chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, or CAC, which was founded by Ayers and billed itself as a school reform organization. Ayers also served as co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one of the two operational arms of the CAC, from its formation in 1995 until 2000.

WND reported that in an interview during his failed congressional bid in 2000, Obama cited his CAC job as evidence of his qualification for public office.

Also in 1995, the first organizing meeting for Obama's state senatorial campaign reportedly was held in Ayers's apartment. In a widely circulated article, WND first reported Obama served on the board of the Wood's Fund, a liberal Chicago nonprofit, alongside Ayers from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. Tax filings showed Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000.

The "Friends of Barack Obama" campaign fund lists a $200 campaign contribution from Ayers April 2, 2001.

The two appeared together as speakers at several public events.

Ayers' wife, Bernadine Dohrn, also has served on panels with Obama. Dohrn, once on the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted List, was described by J. Edgar Hoover as the "most dangerous woman in America." Ayers and Dohrn raised the son of Weathermen terrorist Kathy Boudin, who was serving a sentence for participating in a 1981 murder and robbery that left four people dead.

As WND reports today, an FBI report claims Dohrn built and planted the bomb that killed a San Francisco police officer in 1970.

Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. The charges against him were dropped in 1974, however, because of prosecutorial misconduct, including illegal surveillance.

But Ayers told the New York Times in an interview released Sept. 11, 2001, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

He posed for a photograph accompanying the piece that showed him stepping on an American flag.

In August, Ayers wrote on his blog he still feels not enough was done to oppose the Vietnam War, although he clarified, "I don't think violent resistance is necessarily the answer, but I do think opposition and refusal is imperative."

Secret Service: No one yelled 'kill him' at Palin rally
'We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it'

The agent in charge of the Secret Service field office in Scranton said allegations that someone yelled “kill him” when presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s name was mentioned during Tuesday’s Sarah Palin rally are unfounded.

The Scranton Times-Tribune first reported the alleged incident on its Web site Tuesday and then again in its print edition Wednesday. The first story, written by reporter David Singleton, appeared with allegations that while congressional candidate Chris Hackett was addressing the crowd and mentioned Obama’s name a man in the audience shouted “kill him."

News organizations including ABC, The Associated Press, The Washington Monthly and MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported the claim, with most attributing the allegations to the Times-Tribune story.

Agent Bill Slavoski said he was in the audience, along with an undisclosed number of additional secret service agents and other law enforcement officers and not one heard the comment.

“I was baffled,” he said after reading the report in Wednesday’s Times-Tribune.

He said the agency conducted an investigation Wednesday, after seeing the story, and could not find one person to corroborate the allegation other than Singleton.

Slavoski said more than 20 non-security agents were interviewed Wednesday, from news media to ordinary citizens in attendance at the rally for the Republican vice presidential candidate held at the Riverfront Sports Complex. He said Singleton was the only one to say he heard someone yell “kill him.”

“We have yet to find someone to back up the story,” Slavoski said. “We had people all over and we have yet to find anyone who said they heard it.”

Hackett said he did not hear the remark.

Slavoski said Singleton was interviewed Wednesday and stood by his story but couldn’t give a description of the man because he didn’t see him he only heard him.

When contacted Wednesday afternoon, Singleton referred questions to Times-Tribune Metro Editor Jeff Sonderman. Sonderman said, “We stand by the story. The facts reported are true and that’s really all there is.”

Slavoski said the agents take such threats or comments seriously and immediately opened an investigation but after due diligence “as far as we’re concerned it’s closed unless someone comes forward.” He urged anyone with knowledge of the alleged incident to call him at 346-5781. “We’ll run at all leads,” he said.

Jesse Jackson: Under Obama 'decades of putting Israel's interests first' would end...

Prepare for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum, held at this French lakeside resort last week.

He promised "fundamental changes" in US foreign policy - saying America must "heal wounds" it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the "arrogance of the Bush administration."

The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where "decades of putting Israel's interests first" would end.

Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.

"Obama is about change," Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. "And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it."

Jackson warns that he isn't an Obama confidant or adviser, "just a supporter." But he adds that Obama has been "a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family." Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle.

"We helped him start his career," says Jackson. "And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged."

Jackson is especially critical of President Bush's approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

"Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss," Jackson says. "Barack will change that," because, as long as the Palestinians haven't seen justice, the Middle East will "remain a source of danger to us all."

"Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims," Jackson says. "Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith."
