By Kerry Picket


While many in the media are accusing the McCain campaign of throwing everything they have at Barack Obama in the closing weeks of this presidential election cycle, other than [url="http://www.washtimes.com/news/2008/oct/12/obamas-kenya-ghosts/"]Mark Hyman's Washington Times[/url] commentary today and [url="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=77508"]World Net Daily's online coverage[/url], little is being discussed about Obama's support of Kenya's tyrant Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

This popular internet [url="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e4kUZuqGSU"]video[/url] at 6:26 in cites Obama's connection and support for Odinga. An edited version of this internet video exists [url="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e4SUSUprpr"]here[/url] and an Obama/Odinga on the campaign trail is [url="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e4SUSUprSU"]here[/url]. All 3 video embeds are at [url="http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/Default.aspx"]Eyeblast.tv[/url].

The Odinga association may be even more devastating than the Bill Ayers link, because Obama cannot make the "I was only eight years old when this bad stuff happened" excuse. Also, questions are being raised if Obama may have violated the Logan Act. Additionally, Odinga's thugs were involved in the slaughter of thousands of Kenyans.

Hyman's article in the [url="http://www.washtimes.com/news/2008/oct/12/obamas-kenya-ghosts/"] Times[/url] says the following (my emphasis throughout):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓

[b]By mid-February 2008, more than 1,500 Kenyans were killed. Many were slain by machete-armed attackers. More than 500,000 were displaced by the religious strife. Villages lay in ruin. Many of the atrocities were perpetrated by Muslims against Christians.

The violence was led by supporters of Raila Odinga, the opposition leader who lost the Dec. 27, 2007, presidential election by more than 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters began the genocide hours after the final election results were announced Dec. 30.[/b] Mr. Odinga was a member of Parliament representing an area in western Kenya, heavily populated by the Luo tribe, and the birthplace of Barack Obama's father.

Hyman goes into Obama's coordinated support for Odinga:

[b]Initially, Mr. Odinga was not the favored opposition candidate to stand in the 2007 election against President Mwai Kibaki, who was seeking his second term. However, he received a tremendous boost when Sen. Barack Obama arrived in Kenya in August 2006 to campaign on his behalf. Mr. Obama denies that supporting Mr. Odinga was the intention of his trip, but his actions and local media reports tell otherwise.[/b]

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and [b]Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies.[/b] In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.

[b] "[color="#FF0000"]Kenyans are now yearning for change[/color]," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.
[/b]
Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. Obama sent his foreign policy adviser Mark Lippert to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate his summer visit. Mr. Obama's August trip coincided with strategizing by Orange Democratic Movement leaders to defeat Mr. Kibaki in the upcoming elections. Mr. Odinga represented the ODM ticket in the presidential race.

Author of "Obama Nation" [url="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5g9q4XKLmsES3YF1qFkXdr3CW-2RwD93LQG700"]Jerome Corsi was recently detained in Kenya[/url] and later deported. He was in the country promoting his book. While the western media covered Corsi's detainment and deportation, the bigger picture was ignored.

Why was the Odinga government protecting Obama to the point of attacking one lone American author? More importantly, the media needs to address this: How does a tyrant like Odinga benefit from an Obama presidency?

More videos on the Raila Odinga-Barack Obama relationship continue to spring up on the web. Many questions still remain unanswered. By omission, the mainstream media is delinquent in covering this story, and it may already be dangerously too late.

Perfect example of side stepping the real issue with idiotic strawmen arguments. Forgive me if your guy campaigning for a Tyrant is not a big deal with you.

Well there ya go. Obama is a sleeper all right. My father always suspected it, I was never really sure, until now that is.

A sleeper?

Excuse me?

You absolutly need to justify that

Well, why else would he support someone a candidate in Kenya, from his tribe, who supports establishing Sharia law, and cutting the country's support for our war on terror? Hmmm, I can't think of any way this benefits the US, but it sure does benefit radical Islam.

If you really do still have any doubt that Obama support Odinga, check out this video. See especially 2:44-4:00.

Look, I'm not a nut job to go off on every little conspiracy theory whether I like the guy or not, but this is just irrefutable. Again, there was no reason to give his support to Odigna if he really is the Christian, America-loving man that he claims to be.

Yes you are and it is QUITE refutable. The tricky thing about it (and here is where we venture on the wild side) is that in order to refute it you actually have to reaserch the issue via respectable publications that give a fact based analysis rather than the idiotic rantings on WorldNetDaily nuts.

Here is an article from The Economist, that bastion of liberal propaganda, which does a nice job of refuting these irrefutable claims.

congratulations.

I am shocked and disgusted that someone could buy into something so stupid and perpetuate such a bull(censor) rumor and then have the audacity to claim they are not a concpiricy nut. I think I had better stop here before I get in trouble.

The article you posted in know way at all refutes his guilt for supporting Odinga. Basically, at least publicly anyway, Obama wasn't for the violence in Kenya that Odinga was causing. So? Even if he really didn't support that, it still doesn't explain his support for Odinga in the first place.

Some people will always wear their blinders.

Yes, and you continually do despite the sheer absurdity of your claim. The fact that anyone could swallow the most disgusting and idiotic claim of the far right's smear campaign, that Obama is a secret terrorist, and still manage to turn on their computer is shocking.
