Obama attacked From the Right Being Fueled By Mainstream Media As Far Right Extremists Conspiracy Theories Go Mainstream

"...Confident holding your silent agreement and admission, I identify you as a foreign born domestic enemy.

My sworn duty Mr. Obama is to stand against what you stand for. You are not my president. You are not my commander in chief.

Obedient to the Constitution in submission of this criminal accusation I remain steadfast, and Born fighting... "

Walter Fitzpatrick April 24, 2009 in an open letter to Obama



"The Republican Party is trapped within a toxic fused loop of it's own design. It relied on hate-peddlers like Limbaugh, Hannity and Savage to gin up the party base against all things Democrat, and now must live with that berserk party core being the most muscular component of their coalition. They embraced the Taliban Christians of the South and West, and are now bogged down in a culture war they are losing on all fronts. Every stitch in their trickle-down free-market economic ideology has popped and frayed. Worst of all, they are confronted by a massively popular Democratic president and near-total irrelevancy in Congress. Under these dire conditions, any vaguely moderate GOP voices are bound to be drowned out by the screechers and screamers. "

Quote from: " The Other 100 Days " by William rivers Pitt at Truthout.org, 03 May 2009

Anyway as we can see there are Americans on the Far Right and even in the Republican Party who use rather strong and dangerous & incendiary language in their criticisms of President Obama's policies and about what they see as Obama's secret agenda.Obama is characterized as UnAmerican, as disloyal to American values, as a traitor and an enemy of all true Americans.

So here's a couple of videos illustrating the Fear-mongering about President Obama's policies

This first video is not the work of some right-wing fringe group but is rather from the Republican Party. What is the intention and the desired effect of their message.
Fear-mongering from The U.S. Republican Party- Is this going too far?
Is this a call to arms or for a peaceful revolt against Obama?

Do You Feel Safer? April 29, 2009 Eric Boehner Republican House Leader



NRA and Lou Dobbs of CNN and the far right exaggerate Obama's Gun registration proposals as if Obama was suggesting first making it almost impossible to buy guns in America and secondly that Obama is secretly planning to search every home in America to take away any arms that are found. And thirdly one assumes those who refuse to cooperate or have illegal arms will be shipped off to the Mythical FEMA Concentration camps. So Dobbs along with his Immigration Hysteria is adding fuel to the fire that is encouraging large numbers of Americans to question Obama's authority and his intentions and to take action against Obama before it is too late.

Obama supports Guns Control-May 3- Lou Dobbs CNN





Anyway this is my take on the Far Right Extremists' Conspiracy Theories Going Mainstream

- Republicans and those on the right in the U.S. accuse Obama of being a traitor and a usurper of the presidency which they claim he won because the election was rigged

-Many of them claim that Obama is not even a legal American citizen

-They also claim that he is as dangerous as Stalin, Hitler, Tito, Castro, Pol Pot

-They believe it is his fault the economy is in trouble

-They claim his bail-out schemes are a step towards a socialist, communist or Fascist state

-They claim Obama plans to take all their guns away from them

-They create various extreme scenarios in which private citizens are hauled away and place in "FEMA Concentration Camps" & re-education camps

-They go further claiming Obama wants to subvert America's sovereignty and independence to some form of The New World Order or Transnationalism

Anyway here are a few examples of this sort of angry and dangerous rhetoric which is becoming part of the Mainstream Media in the U.S. at Fox News and CNN etc.

Rush Limbaugh gives his analysis on Obama's meeting with Chavez on the Fox News
Program: Greta Van Sustren. Please subscribe and visit: http://www.politicallycorre...



Rush liked America's previous dictators such as Pinochet or Samoza etc as long as they only murdered unarmed dissidents or used torture to get false confessions .
Rush accuses Obama of being reckless and as having a God or Messianic complex. Rush argues that Obama believes America was an immoral and evil nation before he, Obama became president. Then Rush brings up Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers in order to clinch his argument.

Newt Gingrich fear-mongering about Obama & Hugo Chavez
And how dare Gingrich & others bring up issues of Human Rights when America has become identified with the use of torture.
Hugo Chavez & Barack Obama in FOX news- April 18, 2009



Glenn Beck fear-mongering about Coming Socialism & Obama. Beck like these other far right angry Media stars claim to be just one of the people one of the folks except Beck is a multimillionaire like Limbaugh & Hannity and their ilk who just pretend to be like everyone else. Is Beck and others just spouting whatever will get them better ratings or increase book sales. Are they fearful they that is their actual income might be taxed more fairly in the future and that they may not have all of the tax loopholes available to them so they can pay as little as possible.

Glenn Beck: What's the Difference Between Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez?



Fear-mongering by former CIA officer who erroneously claims that the torture of detainees made America safer. In part of his attack he throws in the fact that Obama and the Democrats are Pro-Abortion and are therefore complicit in his view in the murder of 54 million babies and so concludes Obama and his supporters are far from acting according to moral principles.
Fmr. CIA officer: Keep torture for bin Laden


By David Edwards
Former CIA officer Michael Scheuer told Foxs Brian Kilmeade that President Obama has damaged the country security by releasing OLC memos that authorized harsh interrogation methods like torture. In a recent Washington Post op-ed, Scheuer argues that harsh interrogation methods should continue to be used in case Osama bin Laden is captured.




Beck and others are upset about any International Agreements or Laws such as the Geneva Conventions or the Convention on the Ban on Torture or the Rights of Children or women or even the Law of the Sea - All international laws or agreements interfere with America's right to do as it pleases. One of the reason Beck and others are sounding the alarm about transnationalism is that they fear international investigations into U.S. treatment of detainees ie torture might lead to indictments of American citizens. Beck believes this is all part of the so called New World Order that is out to destroy America's sovereignty.

Beck and his guest ignore the fact that these international laws have to be agreed upon by member states. The U.S. for instance signed the Geneva Conventions and the Ban on torture and therefore according to U.S. law and its constitution is supposed to obey these laws or they can back out of these agreements through legislation in their own country. Congress or other legislative body has to approve such agreements.

Armed Revolt in the Obama Era? Right-Wing Gun Nuts Share Their Paranoid Worldview" By Max Blumenthal, The Daily Beast. Posted May 1, 2009.at AlterNet.org

Gun show enthusiasts make it abundantly clear why they're stocking up on firepower.

Fueled by the screeds of radio hosts Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, and the lesser-known, but increasingly influential, online conspiracist Alex Jones, many gun-show attendees I spoke to were convinced Obama planned to usher in a Marxist dictatorship.

They warned that the president's power grab would only begin with mass gun seizures. "If Obama takes away our guns," a young, .45-caliber-pistol-toting man from Reno told me, "it's just a step into trying to take away everything else."

Indeed, in their minds, average Americans opposed to the Obama agenda would be herded into FEMA-run concentration camps by a volunteer army of glassy-eyed liberal college graduates.

So there are some Americans who are concerned about the over-heated rhetoric on the right since it appears even Republicans and those who appeared to be moderate and rational conservatives have decided to up-the rhetoric to a level which could be dangerous and even lead to violence.

Fox News Continues to Hallucinate About a Socialist/Fascist Menace -- And It's Causing Real Damage" By Timothy Karr, Huffington Post. Posted April 30, 2009.

Fox news' insane rants about the impending onset of socialism/fascism has trickled into mainstream media. This is extremely dangerous.

Last week, conservative factions within the Republican National Committee circulated an e-mail urging party leadership to brand as a "socialist" anyone who advocates even moderate changes to the government's role in society.

It's clear that the overlords at Fox News Channel already got that memo and decided to ratchet the volume up a notch -- to 11.

According to Politico, RNC member James Bopp Jr. proposed a resolution that would acknowledge that President Obama wants "to restructure American society along socialist ideals" and call upon the Democratic Party to rename itself the "Democrat Socialist Party."

"Just as President Reagan's identification of the Soviet Union as the 'evil empire' galvanized opposition to communism," Bopp wrote, "we hope that the accurate depiction of the Democrats as a Socialist Party will galvanize opposition to their march to socialism."

Red-Baiting Redux

And indeed, this has been a season of red-baiting the likes of which we haven't seen since the reign of a certain senator from Wisconsin. The week before Bopp's memo, Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala.) insisted that "some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists." Bachus says he has already counted 17 of them but that there may be more.

Also keeping a list is Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who in the final days of the 2008 election season questioned then-candidate Obama's patriotism and called for an investigation of Democratic members of Congress for "anti-American views."

Bachmann didn't rest there. During an appearance late last month with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, she reiterated her call for a revolution against the tyranny of President Obama and congressional leadership.

"This is economic Marxism," Bachmann said of their economic stimulus plan. "[Obama] is moving the United States away from free-market capitalism and instead he's imprinting socialism deep into our centralized economic planning."


I came across a couple of articles by Joan Swirsky who is an ultraconservative who seems to also like Beck et al to be on a mission to find a way to undermine Obama's Government or to try to bring it down that is to topple it by whatever means necessary. How far would she go? Is she talking about future impeachment or some other legal means to topple his government.

Swirsky's characterization of Obama suggest that he was not legally elected as president and that his loyalty to the United States is questionable and that his policies are helping to destroy America . Whatever her actual intentions her diatribes are incendiary and therefore fuel the anger of a large number of Americans who may take her at her word and possibly take up arms against the Obama administration. Swirsky is at the least playing with fire but so are these others such as Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Dobbs, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Backman etc.

Note Swirsky's ues of language in the title suggesting a racist or stereotyping of Obama at

"Obama Didn’t Know Nuthin’ Of The Tea Parties – But The Rest Of The World Did! " by Joan Swirsky, at Canada Free Press, April 21, 2009

An amazing thing happened on Wednesday, April 15th, Tax Day, when nearly a million people took hours off from their workdays – many sacrificing pay cuts and even the threat of being fired – to attend thousands of Tea Parties across America. What motivated this huge number of Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and even apolitical people to come out in mid-week with placards aplenty and passion unprecedented? It was to tell President Obama that they rejected and resented just about everything he and his radical-left Congress have foisted on our nation during his 90-plus days in office.


she includes a laundry list of complaints against Obama which includes a lot of misinformation & right wing extremist talking points which have little to do with reality:


# A frontal assault on free-market capitalism

# Zero transparency and accountability for the billions already doled out – where has it gone?

# Rising unemployment

# Trillions of dollars of debt for us and our children and grandchildren

# Infringement of freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including free speech, gun ownership, freedom of religion, et al.

# Obsequious overtures to the world’s biggest despots, all of them America’s sworn enemies.

-Aggressive moves to nationalize the press, resurrect the “Fairness Doctrine,” and give the president the legal authority to shut down the Internet in the “interest of national security.”

-Ceding the resolution of legal issues to the cesspool-of-corruption known as the United Nations and transnational courts

-Unforgiveable insults to our military by calling them potential “domestic terrorists.” Other “terrorists” listed in the Department of Homeland Security report were anyone opposed to abortion, anyone in favor of immigration enforcement, pro-Second-Amendment lobbies, and anyone protesting big government.

-Declaring carbon dioxide an environmental pollutant… another scheme to impose draconian and business-murdering taxes on Americans, while at the same time refusing to drill for oil and build nuclear facilities, all in the name of the colossal hoax known as man-made global warming. Let’s hear it for windmills!


and in a piece of grand hypocrisy claiming that these Pro-Rich Pro-Wall Street organized Tea Party demonstrations are a result of populist sentiment and not pre-organized staged events :

...And in a wonderful recounting of the original Boston Tea Party of 1773, writer Lee Cary – in a clear allusion to the Obama administration being “unaware” of the modern-day Tea Parties of April 15th – sardonically quips that the “Parliament didn’t get the last Tea Party either.”

“Deliberative legislative bodies,” Cary continues, “tend, then and now, to be dismissive when the people express an opinion they, the ruling class, don’t share. When asked to comment on the April 15, 2009 Tea Parties across America, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, said, in essence, `The people just don’t appreciate all the things the Crown has done for them.’”

----------
and in another article Joan Swirsky writes about Obama's anti-Americanism & his alleged treasonous actions which are a real threat to the U.S.and it brings up the nagging question that are these new populist conservative trying to set the stage for a Military Coup or just violent resistance in the streets of America against Obama: " The President Who Hates His Country " at Canada Free Press,May 2, 2009

Wall St. Journal writer Dorothy Rabinowitz notes that Obama “had gone to Europe not as the voice of his nation, but as a missionary with a message of atonement for its errors. No sitting American president had ever delivered indictments of this kind while abroad, or for that matter at home. When [our allies] see Obama’s moral equivalence, they realize they are on their own and must cut their own deals to survive – understanding that multicultural trendiness is now a cynical cover for moral laxity and ‘can’t we all get along?’

Historian Victor Davis Hanson also noticed something odd about Obama’s apology tour. “Despite this fresh climate of atonement, there was a complete absence of a single apology from any other foreign leader…not a word came from Britain about colonialism…nothing from Germany on the Holocaust…not a peep from France about Algeria or Vietnam. Turkey was mum on the Armenian killings…Russia said nothing about the 30 million murdered by Stalin…Nothing came from China about the 70 million who perished under Mao…Mr. Medvedev said nothing about Putin’s brutish rule…We saw no concrete evidence of any help — or hope and change — from any foreign leader. Zilch.”


Swirsky then goes on to question President Obama's patriotism and loyalty to the United States of America:


...Before the November election, legal scholar Henry Mark Holzer wrote – and scrupulously documented – a stunning indictment of Obama in which he stated that Obama’s repeatedly professed claim to be a patriot is “a fraud on the American people – and an insult to the countless true patriots who, for over two hundred years, have loved and loyally and zealously supported the United States of America.”

“Patriots,” Holzer concluded, “don’t associate with and derive sustenance from terrorists, America-haters and anti-Semites; they don’t countenance fixed elections; they don’t keep secrets from voters; they don’t intimidate their enemies; they don’t denigrate and degrade our military; they don’t gratuitously interfere with their government’s efforts to protect our country; and they don’t disdain the symbol of this great nation, which for over two centuries men and women have fought and died: the American flag. Whatever Barack Obama is, we can be certain that he is no patriot!”

The events that have followed Obama’s election, Holzer says, “have compounded the proof of the president’s lack of patriotism,” which he has recently spelled out in a follow-up article. A few of the many examples he provides of what “a patriotic American president does not do include:

:

* Bankrupt this country and court massive inflation in order to implement his vision of a fascist/socialist nation.
* Sit on his hands with a straight face while a South American thug insults his country.
* Appoint America-haters to his cabinet.
* Cozy up to a soon-to-be-nuclear-armed Iranian madman.
* Impotently watch the probably-already-nuclear-armed North Korean Stalinists lob a ballistic missile across the Pacific.
* Fail to stanch the flow of illegal aliens across the Mexican-United States border.
* Cut the defense budget.
* Strangle innovation during a serious recession by raising taxes.
* Close Guantanamo Bay without a clue of how to handle the enemy combatants incarcerated there.
* Publicly announce what measures military and CIA interrogators can use to extract information from terrorists.
* Apologize to the world for what has made America great and grovel to persons, nations. and institutions unfit to shine our shoes!
* Cede American sovereignty to the American-hating United Nations.
* Defy the Second Amendment and a Supreme Court decision by making an end run that substantially reduces the supply of certain ammunition.
* Repudiate the policy and practice of missile shield installation.”

...a rising tide of voices – in and outside of the military – who have observed with growing horror Obama’s proclivity to destroy our capitalist economic system, subvert the U.S. Constitution, endanger our military and intelligence services, and obsequiously embrace America’s sworn enemies.

Dr. Jack Wheeler, a consummate Washington insider, goes one step further. “The evidence that the President of the United States is a traitor is mounting. The evidence that the President of the United states is a mortal danger to America’s national security is mounting. The evidence that the President of the United States will not defend America from threats and insults from every two-bit fascist dictator in the world …is not only mounting, it is overwhelming.”


(and Swirsky goes on to cite the evidence that Obama may not even be a legal American citizen which is one of the conspiracy theories that began long before the election but is still being kept alive by those on the right like Joan Wirsky :)

So Swirsky asks:
Is America Lost?

Multiple lawsuits to find proof that Obama is Constitutionally ineligible to be president are ongoing and will ultimately determine if he is an American or Kenyan or Indonesian or UK “natural-born” citizen. To this date, he has spent over a million dollars blocking the suits about his still-missing birth certificate, and there is increasing evidence that the birth certificate attested to by FactCheck.org, FightTheSmears.org, and DailyKos.com are forgeries. And of course we still have not seen Obama’s Selective Service record, medical records, multiple visas, college transcripts, et al.

If Obama is proven to be the fraud and interloper many suspect, every one of his edicts, bills, laws, dictates, Supreme Court selections, et al, will be overturned , leaving America to cope with serious problems – under the leadership of the incomprehensible Joe Biden – but nothing approaching this hate-America president’s far-left socialist domestic programs and appease-our-enemies foreign policy.


(and then Swirsky asserts as if it were a proven fact that the 2008 election was rigged in favor of Obama didn't some people in the Democratic party and on the left who =made similar allegations about Bush and they were shouted down by the Republicans and the right)


“But the monstrous anti-American gang that rigged the voting system on November 4, 2008– as they do routinely in Obama’s Chicago Machine politics – to push Obama into We-the-People’s White House, have shown – even before his inauguration – the kind of overreaching that arrogant tyrants always demonstrate. Hitler, Mao, Tojo and Stalin all got away with overreaching, but they weren’t brutalizing Americans.

“Tolerating totalitarianism is simply not in the genetic code – the DNA – of Americans!” Baker adds. “Freedom and Liberty run in our blood!”



and : " Open letter to Obama on Treason " by Walter Fitzpatrick, April 24, 2009

SUBJECT: CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS REGARDING THE COMMISSION OF TREASON

I have observed and extensively recorded invidious attacks by military-political aristocrats against the Constitution for twenty years.

Now you have broken in and entered the White House by force of contrivance, concealment, conceit, dissembling, and deceit. Posing as an impostor president and commander in chief you have stripped civilian command and control over the military establishment. Known military criminal actors—command racketeers—are now free in the exercise of military government intent upon destruction of America’s constitutional government.

Free from constitutional restraint, and following your criminal example, military commanders deployed U.S. Army active duty combat troops into the small civilian community of Samson, Alabama last recent weeks and to the Boston Marathon, a demonstration of their newly received despotic, domestic police power.

We come now to this reckoning. I accuse you and your military-political criminal assistants of TREASON. I name you and your military criminal associates as traitors. Your criminal ascension manifests a clear and present danger. You fundamentally changed our form of government. The Constitution no longer works.

Confident holding your silent agreement and admission, I identify you as a foreign born domestic enemy.

My sworn duty Mr. Obama is to stand against what you stand for. You are not my president. You are not my commander in chief.

Obedient to the Constitution in submission of this criminal accusation I remain steadfast, and Born fighting


and so it goes,
GORD.
