Charlotte Observer lies to protect Obama, Observer endorsed Jim Pendergraph then rescinded and attacked, Charlotte Observer gives Obama free ride and attacks Pendergraph and Sheriff Joe Arpaio
“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense, to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells

you are reading the news of the world, what you are reading

The Charlotte Observer, by hiding the truth about Obama and by attacking those courageous Americans attempting to bring the truth about Obama to light, has become an embarassment to the state of NC, the nation and all lovers of constitutional truth.
The Charlotte Observer endorsed Republican congressional candidate Jim Pendergraph and then after Pendergraph questioned the messiah, Obama, they rescinded their endorsement and attacked Pendergraph and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is doing his job, unlike the Obama lackeys at the Observer.
Make no mistake about it. The Charlotte Observer has written lies about Jim Pendergraph and Sheriff Joe Arpaio and insulted millions of concerned Americans who still cherish and obey the US Constitution.
April 28, 2012: The Charlotte Observer endorses Jim Pendergraph.
“Pendergraph strongest pick in 9th District
Commissioner, former sheriff is conservative and pragmatic”
“But we give our nod to Mecklenburg County commissioner Jim Pendergraph. We believe he has broad appeal and understands the district’s needs best. He speaks
with a strong conservative voice but seems pragmatic in how he would represent the district – focusing on constituent needs and getting things done.
He did sign a no-tax increases pledge and said he would focus on spending cuts. But he said he would consider taxes if “every other way possible” was tried
and failed to reduce the deficit and get the economy going.
Pendergraph gained national exposure as sheriff for his leadership in the 287(g) program, which allows local officials to enforce federal immigration laws.
He was the first sheriff east of California to use the controversial program. But his views on immigration reform are more nuanced. He favors both
enforcement and reforms that would allow the immigrant workers that the country needs to be able to work here. The issue should be dealt with in a “common-
sense” way, he says.
Pendergraph’s long experience as a public servant, especially his 12 years as Mecklenburg County sheriff, would be an asset. He understands the value of
service to constituents and responding quickly and efficiently to their cares and concerns.
This race has been marred by negative advertising, largely aimed at Pendergraph from GOP challenger Robert Pittenger, a former state lawmaker. Those ads and
the sniping back and forth at debates distracted attention from the candidates’ records and positions. The people in the 9th district deserved better. We
hope the candidates will give them better in the waning days of this primary season. If not, voters should remember that in the voting booth.”

April 28, 2012: Sheriff Joe Arpaio campaigns with and endorses Pendergraph.
“With his primary campaign for Congress entering what he called the short road, Republican Jim Pendergraph on Saturday drew support from controversial yet
popular Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Arpaio spoke at a Pendergraph campaign rally that drew 100 people to Lancaster’s BBQ in Huntersville ahead of the May 8 primary.
Arpaio and Pendergraph described each other as friends.
Both men have drawn questions over the years about their views on immigration. As Mecklenburg’s former sheriff, Pendergraph launched the 287(g) program that
identifies illegal immigrants in the jail. He took a federal job to increase state and local coordination of immigration laws.
Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County near Phoenix, is known for a hard-line approach toward immigration. The U.S. Justice Department has accused him of
violating the civil rights of Latinos.
He said when Pendergraph was with the federal government, he praised the operations in Maricopa. Arpaio never forgot his help.
Pendergraph said Arpaio is “trying to protect the citizens of Arizona because the federal government won’t.” He called on the federal government to enforce
the immigration laws.
Arpaio also said he hopes Congress will “finally look at (illegal immigration) and do something about it.”
Arpaio drew questions about his investigation into the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s birth records.
He said his probe shows the documents were forged, and criticized other elected leaders and law enforcement for failing to look into the issue. Obama and
others have long refuted claims the documents are false.”

May 2, 2012: Jim Pendergraph, “I have reason to be suspicious,”
“Pendergraph ‘suspicious’ of Obama’s birthplace”
“Few people are as publicly identified with the so-called “birther” issue as Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who has his own “posse” on the case.
Last weekend, Arpaio shared his skepticism about President Barack Obama’s birthplace – and his eligibility for the White House – when he was in Charlotte
campaigning for Republican congressional candidate Jim Pendergraph.
So what does Pendergraph, and for that matter other 9th District candidates, think of Obama’s legitimacy?
“I have reason to be suspicious,” he said. “But I don’t know. I haven’t seen the facts. I think there’s a lot of smoke and generally when there’s smoke
there’s got to be fire somewhere.”uth
Obama sought to put questions about his birthplace aside last year when he released a birth certificate from Hawaii. For many people, that settled the issue.
Even Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus last year declared the issue a distraction and said, “the president was born in the United
States.”
But in March, Arpaio’s group declared the birth certificate a forgery.
While Pendergraph said he’s not sure it is, he said, “I’ve been around long enough to know people can forge anything.””

May 03, 2012: Charlotte Observer rescinds endorsement of Pendergraph.
“What a run for Republican Jim Pendergraph. After winning the Observer’s endorsement in his bid for Congress, he has done nothing but embarrass us and
himself.
By buddying up to one of America’s more hateful egomaniacs and then joining with fringe “birthers” to question President Obama’s citizenship, Pendergraph has contradicted much of what he told the Observer’s editorial board in his endorsement interview last month. As a result, we have lost faith in him, and urge voters to consider Edwin Peacock or Ric Killian in the 9th Congressional District race.
Not infrequently, the Observer endorses candidates with whom we do not agree on all, or even most, of the issues. That is because we consider the views of
the constituents the candidate seeks to represent. We often endorsed Rep. Sue Myrick using that logic. When choosing among 10 Republicans in the 9th District race, we considered not only the extent to which we agreed with the candidate but the extent to which he represented the views of the conservative 9th District. We seek a candidate with integrity, intellect, common sense and sincerity, and whose views are not so extreme as to not reflect his district.
Pendergraph came off as a decided moderate in our endorsement process, a comportment not entirely inconsistent with his work the past year-plus as a
Mecklenburg County commissioner. He sounded reasonable on immigration, saying that illegal immigrants who are already here should be allowed to stay here. He supported comprehensive immigration reform and allowing current illegal immigrants to pay some penalty and then have a path to citizenship.
He also talked about his disdain for the polarization that plagues Washington today. He said balancing the budget would require something like the Bowles-
Simpson plan, and specifically said taxes may have to rise as part of a comprehensive plan to erase the deficit. “Let’s be honest – it’s not going to be
without pain for all of us,” he said.
How sensible.
Then he rallied in Huntersville with Maricopa County (Ariz.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio, a Melvillian character on a never-ending crusade against Latinos. The only
thing that energizes Arpaio more than stroking his ego is profiling Hispanics. The U.S. Justice Department found Arpaio led “a pervasive culture of
discriminatory bias against Latinos” and one expert in the report said Arpaio led the worst racial profiling in U.S. history.
Pendergraph pandered further this week by saying he has “reason to be suspicious” about whether President Obama was born in the United States. “… Generally when there’s smoke, there’s got to be fire somewhere,” he said, even as he acknowledged “I haven’t seen the facts.”
It all gives one the sense that Pendergraph will say whatever a given audience wants to hear, if it will help him get elected. That makes how he would act in
Congress a mystery.
Peacock, Killian strong
Republican voters have at least two better choices in Tuesday’s primary. Former Charlotte City Council member Edwin Peacock brings a thoughtful, moderate
approach to issues. He seeks to solve problems rather than be paralyzed by partisanship. And state Rep. Ric Killian brings broad experience in public office
and the military. A colonel in the Army Reserve who has spent significant time in Afghanistan, Killian understands security matters. He is earnest and
forthright and would bring a sensible conservatism to Congress.”

If you are a Glenn Beck listener I suggest you come here for the truth. To be deprogrammed from the modern day Big Brother spokesman, Glenn Beck. Beck would have you believe that upholding the constitution in regard to Obama eligibility is not an issue. That all of the fraud that Obama has committed is not the issue.
Whether or not the Obama camp has used the birth certificate as a distraction is hardly the point.
It’s the Constitution stupid.
Upholding the US Constitution is the most real issue that we can ever have. It is what the founding fathers and subsequent generations have fought to preserve. It is what generations of immigrants struggled to gain. A safe harbor in which they, their families and descendants could thrive in.
From GlennBeck.com March 2, 2012.
“Huh? Sheriff Joe Arpaio gives Obama 2012 a gift, goes after birth certificate”
“Just when Obama was starting to run out of things to say about Republicans, Sheriff Joe Arpaio decides to come out and launch a big investigation into Barack Obama’s birth certificate. Why he decided to bring this ridiculous issue, one that only gives Obama an opportunity to call the right (justifiably so, in this case) ‘crazy’ – is beyond explanation. But, he’s doing it anyway.
“Okay. Look, I am a fan of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I am a guy who has supported him in the past. I like him, I… I think he’s great on illegal immigration. But Joe, have you gone nuts?” Glenn said as he opened the show.
The birth certificate has long been a tool of the Obama administration to distract people from real issues, like inflation, and to paint the Tea Party as racist and insane. Most of the outcry over the birth certificate had died down after Donald Trump faded into the background of the latest The Apprentice season and Obama releasing a copy of the birth certificate. Sadly, Sherrif Arpaio had to bring it up again.
Glenn treated the whole thing as a joke, presenting some wild theories of his own. Could the Obama administration have presented a forgery only to leave the real one in a vault just to screw with people? Or could he be the grandson of Sally Hemmings and Kruschev?
Even though Stu was really, really , really sick of having to talk about the “birther” issue on air once again, Glenn felt like he had to explain why it’s such a ridiculous story.
“Here’s the thing. You have two newspapers that ran the birth announcement,” Glenn said.
“Which is more likely that he was, he was a Soviet plant from birth? Because really that’s what has to happen to be able to have the 1962 records in the newspaper,” Glenn said.
“Now really? Are we going to the place to where they knew from birth that this guy was going to be President of the United States? Which is more likely? That they knew from birth or the President of the United States and his minions are so good at what they do and they’re taking just great joy and glee and delight in holding that birth certificate back as long as they possibly can, not answering, just to make everybody look like crazy Birthers and then seriously,” Glenn said.
Stu, obviously frustrated, said, “The thing is that the Obama administration actually has conversations like this: Imagine if we didn’t have to justify any of our economic failures and we could just talk about whether or not I was born here? That’s the conversation they have.”
“There is one person on Earth, one, one person on Earth that I am more sure about his citizenship in the United States than Barack Obama, one. His name is Zachary Burguiere. He’s my son. I was there for his birth. Including myself. I have more evidence that he, Barack Obama, was born in America,” Stu said.
Stu’s frustration comes from the fact that every time someone brings up the birth certificate, he’s the one assigned the job of looking into whatever arguments are being created to say Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
“About 80% of my pay I believe comes from the fact that you torture me with this stupid story,” Stu lamented.
When Obama released his birth certificate last year, Stu released a “real” birth certificate lampooning some of the ridiculous theories:”

…….Glenn Beck.
I doubt you would read this, but I am trying to grasp your concept. You see the danger of Obama being that of policy, one that leads to ‘socialism’ (really it’s closer to fascism IMHO). His concepts, used before by progressives, always lead to loss of liberty and freedoms and the citizens of this country suffering a failed economic agenda. The misery index is indeed well and alive under Obama, with estimated inflation now 8%, unemployment 16% (1970′s standards). The policy of socialist ‘chaos’ and overburden to the ‘working poor’ has accelerated at massive rates. The progressive agenda IS the problem, Obama is just the messenger of that agenda. You see Obama as another progressive, in a whomp a mole game of progressives, and hitting him with eligibility doesn’t stop the next progressive mole from popping up. Thus, you see Arpaio efforts as futile, even if the findings are accurate.
I do not agree with you here, not in the slightest. Al Capone was not brought down by the horrible crimes he performed, but by ‘tax evasion’. Obama, and his thugs, are in this category. Destroying Obama from an eligibility standpoint will immediately open the door to widespread fraud investigations into his ‘previous’ political life and graft in Chicago (see Rezco and Frawley). People will want to know how this could happen, how they could be lied to, whom ran cover for the greatest fraud in history. Pandora’s box will open, and all the ugly little progressives and their schemes will be exposed for public consumption. The people will start to follow the money, and the media will be forced to report the news. These events have the potential to heal the country, and restore it to a Constitutional Republic by the awareness of the treasonous acts of those from within and their enemies from abroad. Obama’s made up past, and the keys that those exposed lies will provide, will open doors to healing a nation.
While I believe that you are a patriot, a true American, and want to defend the Constitution, you are misguided here by an elitist attitude. The belief that the American people cannot think and process the outward attack upon them, and the means of that attack, without the ‘help’ of the media enlightened. The liberals have long believed that the American people can be led like sheep, and that information must be ‘spoon fed’ to them so that they can be controlled. Try a different approach, give the people the truth, even if you don’t think it’s important, misleading, or a political deflection. Let the facts speak. Let the people decide how important the lies are, and if treasonous should be pursued. When people believe that everyone is deciding for them what is important, what to think, and what stories should be told, they don’t see a difference between politicians, networks, or political pundits. America can be saved, and yes the American people can ‘handle’ the truth. If you really want to help your fellow Americans, investigate what Arpaio is saying in a non-partisan way and give Americans the truth.
Pete…….”
From commenter GORDO March 4, 2012.
Andrea Shea King:
“Hey Glenn Beck, question with boldness?”
“Color me keenly disappointed and disillusioned. Insulted and betrayed by someone I trusted. It would have been bad enough if Glenn Beck had just come out and said why he doesn’t believe the Arpaio Cold Case Posse Report. At least he would have made an honest and truthful attempt to defend his position, giving us assurance that he had even read the report or watched the video of the news conference. But instead, Glenn used the same Alinskyite tactics he excoriates the Left for doing, mocking Americans (millions of which are his listeners) and insulting them for “questioning with boldness” and following the truth wherever it leads, because “the truth has no agenda”, right Glenn? I am so turned off by this, I can’t even watch this video again. And it will be a while before I will tune into his programs, and may cancel my subscription to GBTV.”

You cannot separate one distasteful aspect of Obama from another. That would be like criticizing Adolf Hitler for just impacting the Jewish economy. Citizen Wells has covered the corruption ties, radical influences, repeated lies, suspect selective service application, IL bar application, hidden college and other records as well as eligibility issues including birth certificate and natural born citizen deficiencies. It is all part of a pattern of lies, diversions, fraud and radical influences.
I agree with Beck that Obama is not the only problem. But have you noticed that for years he has gone out of his way to say that Obama is not the problem.
Glenn Beck, who are you working for? The American people or Obama?
Glenn Beck, you are deserving of 5 Orwells.
