You're right. It is old stuff. When asked about it in 2008 Obama's campaign denied it. Now there is evidence that those denials were outright lies. That's what's new. Maybe you don't care that you were lied to in order to help elect Obama. Other people may think differently about that.
Obama's campaign denied that Obama joined the New Party. That's not an outright lie. He didn't join the New Party. He didn't join the New Party. He didn't join the New Party. He received an endorsement from the New Party. It's like a union or a veteran's group or the Friends of Mike group endorsing a candidate. The candidate doesn't have to be a member of the union, or a veteran, or a Friend of Mike to receive the endorsement. However, the group offering the endorsement does expect the candidate to take their concerns into consideration.
What's new is that this is 2012, and opponents of Obama are willing to throw old mud as well as new mud in their efforts to smear Obama.
Was Barack Obama a member of the Chicago New Party?
I think that some very good proof, like the secretary's notes of the party has been dug up and it seems that Obama did belong to the New Party. It seems that the party's records have indications that he joined in 1996, which would have been when he was running for the State Senate of Illinois.
The best part of all this is that the New Party was the political arm of ACORN. Does anybody remember ACORN and what they did where politics were involved?
Here is some very interesting reading about that time which does show that according to the New Party's records Obama was a member. I am sure that everybody here knows what the New Party of that period was and what it stood for.
OK, a lot of allegations, anyone have any solid (a.k.a. papers, memos, etc) that proves Mr. Kurtz's allegations?
Links?
And if they came to light, would you care? No. You people will back this man no matter what.
Leaks of secrets from the WH you nor the media care
Fast and furious and an incompetent crook heading the DOJ you nor the media care
Solyndra debacle you nor the media care
Bribe of Wright by Obama associate nothing to see here
One thing after another, and you people look the other way. And frankly, you should be damn ashamed of the media for refusing to do its job and demand answers and accountability.
I tend to not get excited about unsupported allegations and wild speculation.
Here's the difference. Some care to find out the truth. You dont, especially if it hurts your dear leader. You are quite happy knowing the media looks the other way as this Administration can basically do whatever it pleases.
Meanwhile, the NYT has a cover story about how some of Romney's neighbors....GASP ...........dont like him! Oh the horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about desperation. The war on ______ isnt working so they grasp at straws.
