Obama and the Afrocentrists
USS Neverdock — Kurtz explains. Read the whole thing. "As if the content of SSAVC documents wasn’t warning enough, their proposals consistently misspelled “rites of passage” as “rights of passage,” hardly an encouraging sign from a group meant to improve children’s reading skills. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s own evaluators acknowledged that Annenberg-aided schools showed no improvement in achievement scores. Evaluators attributed that failure, in part, to the fact that many of Annenberg’s “external partners” had little educational expertise. A group ...

Obama Funneled Grant Money to Afrocentric Anti-American Extremists
Confederate Yankee — Obama Funneled Grant Money to Afrocentric Anti-American Extremists Stanley Kurtz has been digging through the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and has discovered that the group created and ram-rodded by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and fronted by Barack Obama was funneling grant money to anti-American afro-centric extremist groups filled with men just like Barack Obama's racist minister Rev. Jeremiah Wright and as a matter of fact, some of those men spoke at Wright's Church during the time Barack Obama attended. How culpable is Obama is funneling money to ...

Where did the Annenberg Money Go?
Ace of Spades HQ — Where did the Annenberg Money Go? This Stanley Kurtz story is a must-read . Here's a taste: Given the precedent of his earlier responses on Ayers and Wright, Obama might be inclined to deny personal knowledge of the educational philosophy he was so generously funding. Such a denial would not be convincing. For one thing, we have evidence that in 1995, the same year Obama assumed control of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he publicly rejected “the unrealistic politics of integrationist assimilation,” a stance that clearly resonates with both Wright and Carruthers. (See “No ...

Obama Has History Of Funding Extremist, Anti-American Organizations
Say Anything — Rev. Wright was more to Obama than just the man who preached sermons at church on Sunday.  And married him to his wife.  And baptized his children.  He was more to Obama than a “spiritual mentor” and “sounding board” who once wrote a sermon that inspired Obama to write a book. He was also a conduit between Obama and a bevy of radical, left-wing and even racist groups that Obama obtained taxpayer money for. Stanley Kurtz explains: It looks like Jeremiah Wright was just the tip of ...
