The Pink Flamingo :: Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves

Here at The Pink Flamingo, I’ve never been shy about dealing with subjects that other more important blogs might hesitate to tackle. I guess the reason is I just don’t care. I’m going to say what I think and what I see as provable fact which isn’t necessarily “truth” – which is a variable. This being the case, I am going to tackle the Larry Sinclair allegations about Barack Obama.

I don’t care about his ‘sexual’ antics. That is his wife’s problem. It doesn’t bother me a bit.

What does bother me, considering the fact that there is now a possibility that Sinclair’s story could be true is the fact that there are allegations that Barack Obama, the potential Democratic Nominee for POTUS, in 1999 is alleged to have used Crack Cocaine. Crack Cocaine is a highly addictive ILLEGAL substance. It is illegal. It is against the law to use such things, if indeed they were used.

Quite frankly, I don’t care what a person puts up their nose, smokes, or shoots into their veins as long as they are not driving, and do not endanger the public. If a person wants to cook their brains go ahead. I don’t care. For reasons I will not elaborate, there has been some Twelve Stepping going on around people I know and care about. One of the things you learn is a person is responsible for their own actions. No matter what those around them do, all you can do is be responsible for your own life. So, if someone wants to fry their brain – go ahead.

BUT – I don’t like the idea that there is a possibility that a man running for POTUS used crack cocaine. I don’t like the implications. We can deal with a little puff of something once in awhile, but not this. The example it sets for our young people is disgusting. Here we are with a candidate who goes to a church that specializes on empowerment of his community. How does (alleged) use of illegal drugs help that image?

The worst of it, all those young people who are in the middle of a great love affair with Barack Obama aren’t going to care.

Good Lord what a mess!

For those who manipulate any criticism of Barack Obama into racism, get over it. Racism has nothing to do with vetting a man who claims to be all things to all people but refuses to answer questions. If nothing else it reveals a serious deficit in character, or lack there-of.

GYPSIES
First, I wish to apologize to all the Romani who might read the Pink Flamingo and be offended by the pejorative denigration of their ethnic minority. I was referring to the song recorded by Cher.

TRAMPS
I enjoy using liberal sources against conservatives when I can, if they hold up. I have this theory that conservatives and Republicans had better be so squeaky clean that liberal sources against them do not work. The problem with liberal sites is the fact that they have a tendency not to be intellectually honest when it comes to one of their own. My 2nd favorite liberal site has been waxing poetic about the racism against Barach Obama, basically lumping any criticism from a Republican as racist.

Anyone who happens to be of a different race than Barack Obama who reports on his business associates or supporters and does so in a less than complementary fashion is racist. Ace of Spades commentary on some of Obama’s pals is a perfect example. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/256251.php This will soon be considered a racist attack.

I don’t care if Barack Obama and Larry Sinclair had a quickie in the back of a limo in 1999. That’s Michelle Obama’s problem. After all, if Larry Craig can get away with it, why not Barack Obama?

I truly dislike the fact that I agree with Joseph Farah about something. I think Con Web Watch is all wet about this. If it is acceptable for them to damn (this is not profanity – but a specific word usage – profanity given up due to Lent) all the connections conservatives have then conservatives should be able to do the same with Barack Obama, who is not the Messiah, though some may think he is.

“…As we've noted, WND has offered no evidence whatsoever to support Sinclair's claims, or even suggested that it made an effort to find any -- which puts it in a position similar to the one that resulted in WND having to settle a libel lawsuit by admitting that it published false information and didn't fact-check its reporting before publishing it. The press release repeats Farah's disingenuous claim that he "is an independent journalist who supports neither Obama nor McCain, and says WND will continue to report both stories regardless of whether he supports either candidate." Again, as we've noted, WND has covered the Times/McCain story only in the context of attacking the Times for running it, whereas it has accepted Sinclair's claims against Obama at face value. Further, Farah doesn't just not support Obama; he's openly hostile to him. Farah has used guilt by association to smear Obama as a communist and stated that the idea of Obama as president "scare[s]" him. He has smeared Democrats as "socialist race-baiters and phony feminists." Any suggestion that Farah's non-support for Obama translates to "independent" neutrality is absurd….”

Shame on you Con Web Watch. If you are going to go after conservatives on their nasty anti-immigration connections then you must be willing to take out your sacred cow of the day. It’s that simple. It’s called intellectual honesty.

Larry Sinclair has passed a very extensive lie detector test.
There is more about his lawsuit against Barack Obama here.
The polygraph payout. Sinclair is donating $10,000 to charity.

THIEVES
If the Palmetto Scoop is correct, Mark Sanford just lost the VP sweeps. He’s going to be in a little ethics trouble in SC.

32 counts of corruption? I want to know what is going on with the GOP and why we are allowing this to continue.

“…Renzi and two other men, James W. Sandlin and Andrew Beardall, were charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, extortion and insurance fraud. Sandlin was a real estate investor and business associate of Renzi, as well as a major financial backer of his congressional campaigns, while Beardall was an attorney who served as president and general counsel of an insurance company owned by Renzi.

According to the indictment, Renzi included property owned by Sandlin in a 2005 federal land transfer, the proceeds of which would help Sandlin pay off a $700,000 debt that Sandlin owed to Renzi. Renzi "was having financial difficulty throughout 2005 and needed a substantial infusion of funds to keep his insurance business solvent and to maintain his personal lifestylye," states the indictment. Renzi threatened to block the land transfer unless Sandlin's property was included in it, telling officials from Resolution Copper Corp., which was seeking a land transfer for a copper mine, "no Sandlin property, no bill," according to the indictment.

Sandlin later sold his property to a different investment group, the Petrified Forest Group, according to an April 2007 story in the Wall Street Journal. Renzi said that a land exchange that Petrified Forest would get a "free pass" if it bought the Sandlin property. Sandlin eventually received $2.6 million for the sale, plus another $2 million note. According to the indictment, "Renzi and Sandlin used a variety of means to conceal the nature and purpose" of $733,000 that Sandlin paid Renzi.

Renzi also allegedly "misappropriated $400,000 of insurance premiums" from December 2001 to June 2003, money that was then moved into the Rick Renzi for Congress campaign account. Renzi and Beardall then lied to Florida and Virginia insurance regulators looking into…”

Now I don’t know about you, but that sure sounds a heck of a lot (in many ways) like that little deal Barack Obama and the misses made with Tony Rezko deserves the same scrutiny. But then, the Obama strategy, never apologize.

ALL THREE GROUPS

A friend sent this to me by email. I am simply doing a copy and paste. You deal with it.
“turn to page 139 of Barack Hussein Obama‘s memoirs ‘Dreams From My Father’ , a random page because I can’t stomach all of the anti-white crap that his book envelopes.

Here I find Obama, “I was broke, unemployed, eating soup from a can. In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure”
I knew this man had to be as racist as all of those who have inspired him throughout his life. It did not take me long to confirm what I knew already.

Kwame Toure’s Words:
"White man is committing genocide against black men." (Something Obam's other mentors have stated and expressed same ideas along with Obama).
"Bring Uncle Tom’s home or off them." (Sounds like his friend Sen. Meeks)
"The major enemy is the honky."(Sounds like Obama and all of his mentors)
"What is good; Later for America
What is good for black people?"( Obama and all of his mentors express the same idea)
"Quotes the Quran and the Bible." (Follows Obama, Jeremiah Wright, and all of his Nation of Islam mentors).

Kwame Toure before his death was Prime Minister of the Black Panther Party. The Black Panthers that endorse Obama and who's leader was Dr. Khalid Abul Mohammad, who said Kill all white men, Kill all white women; Kill all white children and when you are done, dig them up and kill them again.

Toure strongly opposed coalitions with white individuals and organizations.
Yet is affiliated with these radical Islam and Racist Groups:

-the Palestine Liberation Organization,
-Irish Republican Socialist Party, International Indian Treaty
- Contribution towards institutionalizing African Liberation Day as an
international Pan-Africanist day of protest and unity throughout the world.
- Contributions towards developing and building an African United Front in
amerikkka between groups as far apart ideologically as the NAACP, Urban
League, Nation of Islam, Republic of New Afrika, and A-APRP.

**Pan-Africanism is a sociopolitical world view, as well as a movement, which seeks to unify and uplift both native Africans and those of the African diaspora, as part of a "global African community".”
