Something New Here by Stanley Kurtz on National Review Online
article.nationalreview.com — D uring his first campaign for the Illinois state senate in 1995-96, Barack Obama was a member of, and was endorsed by, the far-left New Party. Obama s New Party ties give the lie to his claim to be a post-partisan, post-ideological pragmatist. ... (more) Something New Here by Stanley Kurtz on National Review ...

Radical? Check. Tied to ACORN? Check. Redistributionist? Check.
Hyscience — Stanley Kurtz once again has "something new" about Barack Obama's old (and ongoing?) far-left radical socialist ties.

Stanley Kurtz: Media Near-Silent on Obama Ties to New Party and ACORN
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — ... about this lack of interest by the MSM in Obama's New Party connection but Stanley Kurtz of the National Review now provides a wealth of information on Obama's ties to both that far left party and ACORN. Kurtz documents how Obama's connection to the New Party (and ACORN) gives lie to his claims of being some sort of "post-partisan, post-ideological pragmatist." (emphasis mine): ...

Will The Real Obama Please Stand Up? (Is There A Real Obama?)
Discriminations — ... On second thought, if (like Mickey Kaus) “you want to feel better about Barack Obama,” then by all means don’t read Kurtz’s article, or his article that appeared this morning listing a whole host of new ties between ACORN and the leftist New Party (essentially ACORN’s political arm for a while). ...

Lopez: Like a Prayer
Articles on National Review Online — ... protections, and the funding of alternatives to embryo-destructive research. They ask us to look past his support for Roe v. Wade , the Freedom of Choice Act, partial-birth abortion, and human cloning and embryo-killing. An Obama presidency, they insist, means less killing of the unborn. This is delusional. This weekend, too, news broke that the Catholic Campaign for Human Development would stop giving money to ACORN, a corrupt liberal group much talked about on NRO by Stanley Kurtz and ...

The Corner on National Review Online — ... ] I woke up this morning with a bad cold, throat closed off, and things not looking good. A nap, some drugs, and a lot of OJ later, I've made a turnaround. I am interpreting it as a physical sign of the political turnaround to come. Hey, if it works . . . With Fred Thompson speaking truth to pessimism, Sarah Palin on the road, and everyone doing his part to use Stanley Kurtz and ...

Articles on National Review Online — ... with Joe Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber. Of course on the latter occasion, when Obama spoke of planning to spread the wealth around, it was a slip. The candidate is far more guarded now than he was in 2001, just as he was more coy in 2001 than in his mid-Nineties incarnation when he first sought to represent an extremely left-wing district and embraced his endorsement by the radical Chicago New Party (ACORN s electoral arm with ties to the Socialist International). By 2001, as he eyed national office, Obama put on mainstream airs. He couched his radicalism in ...

Is Obama connected to the ACORN-Rathke embezzlement scandal?
The Next Right — ... National Review's Stanley Kurtz has shown that Obama was a member of and was endorsed by the New Party, which he describes as  "the New Party functioned as the electoral arm of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)." ...

Video: Jay Leno Goofs On APORN ACORN
Nice Deb — ... Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center contends that issues don’t enter the public consciousness “until they are a joke on late-night shows.” A lot of people are hearing about ACORN for the first time through  comedians like Jay Leno Show and  John Stewart. These folks might be  interested to know of the President’s extensive background, working with ACORN as a community organizer. Stanley Kurtz talked about Obama and ACORN’s role in the financial crisis, on ...

Patrick Gaspard, ACORN, and Obama -- By: Stanley Kurtz
The Corner on National Review Online — ... late, and deservedly so. Yet for all the fuss, what is arguably the most important Obama-Acorn tie of all has gotten short shrift. During the 2008 election, Obama’s close links to the far-left New Party were revealed and explored (although not by the mainstream press). Yet many seem to have forgotten that the New Party, particularly in Chicago, was dominated by ACORN (and by an ACORN-controlled SEIU union local). During the campaign, I detailed Obama’s New Party ties in two pieces, "Something New Here," and " ...

WHERE IS OBAMA TAKING US ?
Dr. Sanity — ... "keeps" is in the present tense, not the past tense. These people from the "past" still surround Obama now that he is POTUS. This is not a coincidence, and Kurtz is absolutely correct that this information is incredibly significant, whether the legacy media decide they will look at it or not. Why? Because it tells us where Obama is really trying to take this country, and what his real agenda is. Nothing is more relevant than that. Read Kurtz's other articles ("Something New Here," and "Life of the New Party.") on Obama and his questionable ...
