MSNBC Hack Mitchell Gets Schooled by Romney Surrogate

Remember Andrea Mitchell?













She's the one who thinks the deaths of Agents Zapata and Terry at the hands of Mexican drug cartels using guns given to them by the US government is "just politics" and no big deal...Well, her ignorance and stupidity continue to shine as she gets taken to school by a Romney surrogate who takes her to the woodshed on outsourcing. Go check out the video here and then come back....

OK, get all that? It is hilarious to watch these troglodytes who are supposedly so smart and observant get schooled. Andrea Mitchell looks like the emptyheaded bass face she is, and for the three people who watch MSNBC, the truth gets out there some more. Sununu shows Mitchell to be a brainless automaton, who has been confronted with the illogic of position, and overheats trying to defend the indefensible. Ol' Andrea got some serious egg on that bass face of hers...

Brown County: News Democrat Publisher Tries to Play "Aw Shucks" Card on Conflict of Interest

Steve Triplett publishes the News Democrat in Brown County.

His son is the Vice President of the Brown County Democrat Club.

His son worked/works for EPIC FAIL Democrat Congressional Candidate David Krikorian.

To my knowledge, Steve Triplett, in his extensive coverage of the 2006, 2008, 2010 elections NEVER ONCE disclosed these facts about his son in his editorials, his endorsements of Krikorian, or in covering political events himself or through his reporters. This is a violation of the trust he has from his readers who expect openness and integrity from a newspaper. I posted about this conflict of interest and lack of journalistic ethics last week. In the Mr. Triplett tries to play the "aw shucks" card. In his editorial in the Sunday, June 17th edition discussing politics, he says, "all my Republican friends know I am a Democrat."

It is not your Republican friends we are talking about Mr. Triplett. It is your readers. Now, Mr. Triplett, who frequently bemoans modern society and innovation in his columns, will probably say 'EVERYBODY IN BROWN COUNTY KNOWS I'M A DEMOCRAT'. Well, that may not be true. What about new readers, or people who just moved in? What about internet readers who aren't familiar with the area? Mr. Triplett is not giving his readers online or in the paper the full truth.

I mean, go back and look at the extensive coverage Mr. Triplett gave every Krikorian appearance in 2008 and since. Could it be because his son was working for Krikorian? Or what about when, against all logic, the ND endorsed David Krikorian? Wouldn't it have helped the reader determine the value of the endorsement if Mr. Triplett had disclosed his son worked for Mr. Krikorian? What about coverage of Democrat events or political controversy? Wouldn't the reader benefit from knowing that Mr. Triplett's son was a democrat party operative and this would help them make informed decisions about the coverage of the paper?

If I were the owners of the paper, I would demand that Mr. Triplett engage in full disclosure, as well as recuse himself from covering politics. It just isn't fair.

If I were the readers of the News Democrat, I would take every political story with a HUGE grain of salt. Who knows how Mr. Triplett's relationships are coloring his coverage, especially when I have heard of reporters telling Republicans being smeared in the ND that, 'well, I know this is old stuff and not news, but my boss (Triplett) is making me cover and write about it'?

Sad and weak, Mr. Triplett. Playing the "aw shucks, everybody knows already" card is dishonest, insulting, and lacks integrity.

Brown County: Has News Democrat Publisher Failed to Disclose Political Conflict of Interest?

Meet Steve Triplett.



Steve is the publisher of the News Democrat. He has been for a number of years. I have met him a few times and we talk socially. We even took some classes his paper sponsored on the Constitution. Steve seems to be a really nice guy. However, I believe I have uncovered a blatant conflict of interest that even the owners of the paper may not know about, and maybe not a lot of people in Brown County know about. Steve Triplett's paper endorsed David Krikorian when he ran against Jean Schmidt. At no time, to my knowledge, did he ever disclose that he had a blood relative who not only worked for Krikorian, but who is a Democrat party operative.

Meet Zach Triplett.

In this picture, Zach is standing next to Brown County Democrat Party Chairman, Dallas Hurt, at last year's Christmas party. No big deal, you might say, except that in the caption it says that young Mr. Triplett, the son of the publisher of the News Democrat, is listed as the vice president of the Brown County Democrat Club. Now, to my knowledge, Steve Triplett has never disclosed this when discussing endorsements or political stories he covers. I think, in the sake of journalistic ethics, this should have been done. Oh, but wait, I forgot about the Krikorian thing.....

This is a screen capture from Zach Triplett's facebook page. It is publicly available. Wow, we both went to NKU, like Batman and Kevin Smith. But what is salient to this post is the employment at Parody Productions. Parody Productions is a company owned by David Krikorian. Steve Triplett never disclosed that his son worked for David Krikorian, to my knowledge. Doesn't this cast doubt on the objectivity of the News Democrat, that the publisher, who endorsed a candidate, has a son who works for the candidate? Or, that in covering stories, say like the whole Brown County Board of Elections stuff, that the publisher's son is an operative of the Brown County Democrat Club? Sounds like a blatant conflict of interest and lack of objectivity....

Of course, you might say, so what? It isn't like young Zach knew Mr. Krikorian personally....well, they did talk about Mr. Krikorian coming to Brown County on facebook. From David Krikorian's own wall:


Now, I don't read every edition of the News Democrat. I do read the Sunday editions. In my reading, never once have I seen Steve Triplett acknowledge or disclose that he has this conflict of interest. I wonder if the owners of the paper know Mr. Triplett is not being objective in his reporting? I wonder if they know his coverage of political events is tainted by his failure to disclose?

If I were the readers, advertisers, and owners of the News Democrat, I think I would like to know about the possibility of bias and/or a conflict of interest on the part of the publisher, you know, the guy who makes all the ultimate decisions about what goes in the paper, along with the editor? I would think this could impact how I view political coverage that comes from the paper. I wonder why the big secret? Or is it a case of hiding in plain sight? I, for one, will look at all of the stories coming out of the News Democrat with a different set of eyes. This type of failure to disclose just isn't right. I mean, who knows, maybe Dallas Hurt is using his relationship with the son to filter info to the dad? Maybe this is why the slant in the paper lately has been so blatantly democrat?

Wisconsin Exit Polls Wrong on Walker But Right on Obama? Another Media Hyped Lie

Michael Barone has looked at the flawed exit polling from Wisconsin last night that had the governor's race a dead heat and Barack Obama with wide support, something the leftards jumped all over as their attempt to stave off Conservative Scott Walker in Wisconsin was an EPIC FAIL! Rachel Maddow and others, who said, wow, the exit polls are off when compared to the actual election, relied on those exit polls to make themselves sleep better by saying that the same exit polls were proof Obama still owns Wisconsin. Michael Barone would beg to differ:

The Wisconsin exit poll evidently reported the race for governor in the recall ballot as 50%-50%. With 92% of the vote in, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s excellent website reports the score as 54%-46% Walker. Let’s say that’s the final results: only 13% of precincts from Milwaukee County and 3% of precincts from Madison’s Dane County — the Democrats’ two reservoirs of big majorities — remain uncounted. It has been emblazoned on mainstream media that the exit poll also showed Barack Obama leading Mitt Romney in the state 51%-45%. But if you think the exit poll was 4% too Democratic — and that’s in line with exit poll discrepancies with actual vote results over the last decade, as documented by the exit poll pioneer, the late Warren Mitofsky* — that result looks more like 49%-47% Romney. Or assume the remaining Milwaukee County precincts whittle Republican Governor Scott Walker’s margin over Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to 53%-47%, which looks likely, the Obama-Romney numbers would look like 48%-48%.

This is in a state that Obama carried 56%-42% in 2008. But those putative numbers also look very much like the numbers in 2000, when Al Gore carried Wisconsin 47.8%-47.6% over George W. Bush, or the numbers in 2004, when John Kerry carried Wisconsin 49.7%-49.3% over Bush.

Obama's Spending: Rex Nutting Of MarketWatch Thinks You Are As Ignorant As He Is

Rex Nutting is an ignorant fool who is using data already shown to be false in trying to say that Obama hasn't spent that much. From the Drivelarticle:

Of all the falsehoods told about President Barack Obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree. As would-be president Mitt Romney tells it: “I will lead us out of this debt and spending inferno.” Almost everyone believes that Obama has presided over a massive increase in federal spending, an “inferno” of spending that threatens our jobs, our businesses and our children’s future. Even Democrats seem to think it’s true. Government spending under Obama, including his signature stimulus bill, is rising at a 1.4% annualized pace — slower than at any time in nearly 60 years.

He even has a chart. Basically, his argument is that since the stimulus and omnibus bill are on the 2009 budget and the 09 budget was approved in 08, therefore, it is all Bush's spending. What this putz isn't telling you is that Congress uses baseline spending....from James Pethokoukis.:

As the chart indicates, Nutting arrives at that 1.4% number by assigning 2009—when spending surged nearly 20%—to George W. Bush: “The 2009 fiscal year, which Republicans count as part of Obama’s legacy, began four months before Obama moved into the White House. The major spending decisions in the 2009 fiscal year were made by George W. Bush and the previous Congress. Like a relief pitcher who comes into the game with the bases loaded, Obama came in with a budget in place that called for spending to increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in response to the worst economic and financial calamity in generations.”

Let me complete the metaphor for Nutting: “Then as those runners scored, Obama kept putting more on base.”

Obama chose not to reverse that elevated level of spending; thus he, along with congressional Democrats, are responsible for it. Only by establishing 2009 as the new baseline, something Republican budget hawks like Paul Ryan feared would happen, does Obama come off looking like a tightwad. Obama has turned a one-off surge in spending due to the Great Recession into his permanent New Normal through 2016 and beyond.

So, I would add to the argument this way: If Bush is responsible for stimulus and omnibus and as well as the GM bailout, then Barack Obama is responsible for nothing. He isn't responsible for, as he and Biden are going around the country trumpeting: 1. saving GM 2.stopping the recession in late 2009 3. saving jobs

So, therefore, if this is true, then Obama REALLY has nothing to campaign on. However, it is not true, just as the notions of 1-3 are not true either.

The stimulus, omnibus, and auto bailouts were authorized after the 2009 budget was ratified, estabilishing a new baseline, as James P. talks about above. This new baseline, every year then, is the new normal. So, spending is elevated every year as a result of this procedure. Let me share with you James P's chart that makes more sense than the ramblings of Nutting:


Basically, they are saying it is Bush's fault even though he had nothing to do with the spending, but he was either a lame duck or out of office when it was authorized. Nutting is banking on the American public being as ignorant about how Congress and the budget works as he is. He even got nailed on a radio program by a caller.

Bottom line:
In fiscal year 2009, Barack Obama spent a total of $1.065 trillion that Nutting at MarketWatch and Pelosi produced charts saying that Bush spent. Bush didn't spend it. Bush didn't spend the stimulus bill. He didn't authorize it, ask for it. It was not even in his mind, but because it happened in 2009, it was lopped on to the 2009 budget that Bush did not sign, as it turns out. So they assign this to Bush-era spending. They're saying that Obama spending cannot be calculated until October of 2009, when the new fiscal year starts. No spending before that could possibly be Obama's, that's what they're saying, and of course they're not right about it.

Here are the totals: $825 billion on his first stimulus; $200 billion on a second round of TARP spending. More on that just a second. Forty billion spent on a new child health care bill, S-CHIP. Now, there's other incremental, incidental spending that Obama was doing left and right, throwing money all over the place. Solyndra was getting money, if you recall, all this green energy were getting so-called low-interest loans. Obama was printing money, borrowing it, throwing it around as fast as he could. But those are the big-ticket items: $825 billion for Porkulus; $200 billion additional TARP spending; $40 billion S-CHIP. Grand total, $1.065 trillion that Obama spent that these people are counting as Bush money.

Now, the really deceitful thing that Mr. Nutting and the others are doing is saying that they are counting Obama's stimulus in their tally of his spending. In the text of the story they say they're counting the stimulus. And, they are. They are counting Porkulus 2, $140 billion, which happened after October in 2009. They're not counting the $825 billion big-ticket Porkulus. So in the text of the story, they claim they're counting the stimulus, and it's really deceitful, because what they're counting is Porkulus 2, which is $140 billion. So casual readers of the Nutting story -- it's a Web story at MarketWatch -- casual readers think, "Oh, wow, even with Obama's stimulus he still spent less than Reagan and Bush?" But again, they're only counting that $140 billion second stimulus. They're not counting the first $825 billion stimulus.

Now, more on this TARP business. What actually happened there was, Obama as president-elect before the inauguration, Obama told Bush, or asked, to release the rest of the discretionary TARP money so that Obama could use it for economic recovery as soon as he took office. And Bush did. Bush expanded the discretionary amount of TARP, and that was around $200 billion or 300 billion. So you can add $200 billion to this, and you're just under $1.1 trillion of Obama spending that's not counted as Obama spending. Now, specifically that second round of TARP that Obama asked for as president-elect, not inaugurated yet, was for the auto bailout to buy General Motors and Chrysler and give them to the unions. And that was $200 billion.

So once again, they are playing fast and loose with the numbers.

I am not the only one and neither is James Pethokoukis who are showing how much Dems and the media are being dishonest by flouting this tripe.

There is a reason that the Democrats have not offered a budget in three years. And this is an excellent time, with this bogus report from Rex Nutting and the media picking this up, to point this out. The Democrats have refused to offer a new budget ever since 2009, because they want to lock all of Obama's spending into the budget and into the baseline. Continuing resolutions keep current funding levels at the same level. Thus, Obama's spending becomes the new norm, raising spending even more.

Why would the media cover this obviously bogus story? They want Obama reelected. Why do you think there hasn't been a whisper of the biggest religious lawsuit in history, where Notre Dame University and several archdioceses and other Catholic and Protestant groups have sued Obama over religious freedom?

Rex Nutting and his ilk are not just ignorant. They are biased liars. I was able to cobble this together in about 20 minutes. I was able to find plenty of refutation in about 10. They just go with what helps Obama. But, if you look at it, if this is all Bush's spending, then Obama genuinely has nothing at all to run on. Of course, we know he has nothing to run on anyway, except used unicorn farts.

1984 in 2012: Dems Seeking to Buy Press

Remember when Rush Limbaugh wasn't allowed to buy into the Saint Louis Rams because it would make a "political statement"? All the Left screamed and hollered that Rush involved in the NFL would lead to a new platform for conservatism and it wasn't fair. Remember how the Left said that Fox was the Republican channel, and that it was totally slanted? Shouldn't these same people be upset about this:

Philadelphia’s two daily newspapers have long been accused of liberal bias, but critics say a group of potential buyers led by former Gov. Ed Rendell would turn the papers into mere mouthpieces of the Democratic Party in a 2012 swing state.

Mr. Rendell, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is teaming with George Norcross, the Democratic Party boss of southern New Jersey, and others in an effort to purchase the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Daily News and the company’s website, philly.com. “The prospect of Rendell’s group owning the newspapers is like the foxes watching the henhouse and all of the sacred cows,” said Paul Davies, former deputy editorial page editor at the Inquirer. “Essentially, the Inquirer will cease to exist as a legitimate newspaper. It will become the insiders’ house organ.”

And no way they would try to slant all their coverage, would they? Seriously, this is disturbing...but typical of liberals.

Even the liberal journalists are worried that Easy Eddie is going to try to create his own echo chamber:

Journalists at both papers are so concerned that nearly 300 of them signed a public statement last week calling on the current and any future owners to protect the integrity of their reporting. They said the current owner, Philadelphia Media Network (PMN), has censored their coverage of the sale.

“As The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and Philly.com have gone up for sale once again, we watched with dismay as our own coverage of the process was compromised and censored,” the statement says.

Michelle's Target Visit More Staged than WWE

Some people were taken in by the visuals of Michelle Obama shopping at Target taken by the AP this week. OOOOH, look, she is like us. She is in disguise and hanging at Target. Ninja, Please! This was a faked, staged, scripted photo op. It was meant to soften the image of Michelle "Antoinette", the Queen who goes around boozing it up on private jets and wasting your tax dollars. The Queen who eats and eats and eats junk food while lecturing you and your kids on eating a candy bar. She must want all the cake and junk food for herself, as much as she gripes. Well, now we have proof of just how cynical the Obamas are and how gullible they think we are. Check this out:

Another staged moment in the lives of Barack and Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama just had to get out to Target to do a little shopping last week. But, before the shopping run the White House tipped off AP photographer Charles Dharapak so that he would be at the store to memorialize the moment.

How stupid do they think we are? If we reelect this clown Obama and his family, their views on our stupidity and gullibility will be confirmed. Say no to Obama in 2012 and prove we aren't a nation of coddled, easily fooled morons.

Jobless Claims Up: Media Says it is Verizon Union Strike's Fault!

You know, I have my issues with unions and the huge amount of overreach they have done. I believe in the right to organize. I believe unions served and can still serve a valuable role. The problem I have is in how they are run and how union dues are used to support agendas that members don't necessarily agree with. And there are other issues. The media, seeking to protect Obama's failed economic agenda, is now blaming union strikes for the rise in jobless claims this week:

New U.S. claims for jobless benefits rose last week, lifted by striking workers at Verizon Communications, according to government data that showed little sign of layoffs in response to plunging share prices. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 417,000, the Labor Department said on Thursday. The level suggests the job market is still having trouble gaining momentum, but it falls well short of a recession signal.

Striking Verizon [VZ 35.77 -0.70 (-1.92%) ] workers filed 8,500 claims for jobless benefits last week, after submitting 12,500 applications the previous week, which covered the period for the August nonfarm payrolls survey.

That suggests the strike, which has ended, would have a negative affect on the payrolls count to be released on Sept. 2. The department will provide a more definitive reading of the strike's impact in its monthly strike report on Friday.

So, in order to protect their messiah, the media now turns on one of its own allies in order to try to hide the fact that Obama's economic policies have done nothing to help create jobs.

Debt Crisis: Will the Contessa Ask Obama This Question?

The gall of the media. Contessa Brewer showed she must have earned an F in research or actual journalism when she decided to try to embarrass a Republican Congressman. From RCP:

Today, Contessa "educated" a conservative Representative that without the bailout, the country would be in "a depression." Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.

"Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors," Rep. Brooks responded.

According to his Congressional page: "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School."

However, she did earn an A in Gettin' Egg on Yer Face:

Busted! Hollywood Types Admit Liberal Bias

And it is all captured on tape! Check this out:

In clips that will hit the Internet to promote a new book, producers including "Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman and "House" creator David Shore say Hollywood discriminates against and belittles conservatives.

Some of TV’s top executives from the past four decades may have gotten more than they bargained for when they agreed to be interviewed for a politically charged book that was released Tuesday, because video of their controversial remarks will soon be hitting the Internet.

The book makes the case that TV industry executives, writers and producers use their clout to advance a liberal political agenda. The author bases his thesis on, among other things, 39 taped interviews that he’ll roll out piecemeal during the next three weeks.

The Hollywood Reporter obtained several of the not-yet-released clips, embedded below. Each contains a snippet of an interview, usually some historical footage of the TV shows the interviewee was responsible for and, naturally, a plea to purchase the book, “Primetime Propaganda” by Ben Shapiro and published by Broad Side, an imprint of HarperCollins.

In one video, Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman says that when she cast Candace Gingrich-Jones, half-sister of Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as the minister of a lesbian wedding, “There was a bit of ‘fu** you’ in it to the right wing.”

Kauffman also acknowledges she “put together a staff of mostly liberal people,” which is another major point of Shapiro’s book: that conservatives aren’t welcome in Hollywood.

Maybe that’s because they’re “idiots” and have “medieval minds.” At least that’s what Soap and Golden Girls creator Susan Harris thinks of TV’s conservative critics.

However, the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled, according to Harris, whose video has her saying: “At least, you know, we put Obama in office, and so people, I think, are getting – have gotten – a little bit smarter.”

Some of the videos have executives making rather obvious revelations, like when Larry Gelbart and Gene Reynolds talk about pacifist messages in M*A*S*H or when MacGyver producer Vin Di Bona says anti-gun messages were a recurring theme in that show.

But an additional video has Di Bona, who also created America’s Funniest Home Videos, becoming remarkably blunt about his approval of a lack of political diversity in Hollywood. When Shapiro asks what he thinks of conservative critics who say everyone in Hollywood is liberal, Di Bona responds: “I think it’s probably accurate, and I’m happy about it.”

Check out the link to the story for video of the scumbag liberals. Gee, these types of attitudes would be decried as fascist or bigoted or hatespeech if they were about GLBT or about ethnic groups. This type of lack of diversity would result in special set asides if the situations were reversed. Hollywood is not reflective of American values. It is high time we hold these clowns accountable. Disgusting and disturbing.

And the saddest part is these self important supposed best and brightest were suckered by their own arrogance and views of people:

Shapiro said the executives felt comfortable talking about politics with him because they assumed, incorrectly, that he is on the left.

“Most of them didn’t Google me. If they had, they would have realized where I am politically,” he said. “I played on their stereotypes. When I showed up for the interviews, I wore my Harvard Law baseball cap — my name is Ben Shapiro and I attended Harvard, so there’s a 98.7 percent chance I’m a liberal. Except I happen not to be.”

You Stay Classy, Joy Behar...

OK, it is bad enough this wench is on once a day with the Spew, er, The View, but she also has a show on Headline News? Who Knew? Probably not most of America, given the ratings. But, Joy Behar, who seems to have some type of sick insult fetish with Sarah Palin, is at it again, calling her illiterate and comparing her to jock itch....from Newsbusters:

On Thursday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, host Behar quipped that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has returned “like jock itch,” after playing a clip of Palin on Fox News Channel making fun of CBS anchor Katie Couric. Behar: “I give Sarah Palin credit. She’s out of favor. She’s out of the limelight. And then, suddenly, she’s back like jock itch, and just as snarky as ever.”

After commentary from her panel members for the segment, the HLN host ended up cracking that Palin is reminding people that she’s “illiterate” because the former Alaska governor also alluded to her own answer to Couric’s question about what she reads. Behar: “I think that she learned from being on Saturday Night Live that the way to reconstruct your image is to take the joke on yourself. But all she‘s doing is reminding us that she’s illiterate.”

OK, a few points:
1. Joy, how do you know what Jock itch feels like? Makes me wonder again about what restroom you use...hmmmm...

2. Joy, you know as much about literacy as you supposedly do about comedy, which explains why no one comes to your shows anymore.

3. You watch Saturday Night Live? No wonder your comedy sucks.

4. The verbiage from your mouth reminds me of the video they used to show us in health class regarding sexually transmitted diseases and the dangers of not keeping yourself clean. I'm just sayin.

5. If you want ratings, try a guest host. I hear your show is deader than Larry King's.

Rhetoricgate: So Can I Blame Dupnick and Schultz and Olbermann for This One?

Even as more and more comes out to show that Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, the Tea Party, and Conservative media had zero to no influence or place in the Tucson assassin's life, we now see what happens when overzealous liberals with a political ax to grind speak out and hurl libelous accusations at a whole group of people. Liberal attacks incite people to violence. Where is the outrage over this:

A Tucson mass shooting victim was taken into custody Saturday after yelling "you're dead" at a Tea Party spokesman during the taping of an ABC-TV town hall event hosted by Christianne Amanpour.

The Pima County Sheriff's Office said J. Eric Fuller, 63, was involuntarily committed to an undisclosed medical facility, NBC News reported. The Associated Press said he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.

He faces charges of threats and intimidation and disorderly conduct, according to Tucson TV station KGUN.KGUN reported that Fuller took exception to comments by Republican state Rep. Terri Proud and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

Fuller was in the front row and apparently became upset when Humphries suggested that any conversations about gun control should be delayed until all the dead were buried, KGUN reported.
Fuller took a picture of Humphries and shouted, “You’re dead.”

Some media reports said Fuller kept booing and making other remarks before deputies escorted him from the church.

Liberals need to stop all this hatespeech and blame. Their level of discourse needs to be brought into line. For the sake of civility, please tone it down, libs, your comments threaten the lives of Americans. Of course, if I had to sit in a room with that idiotarian hack Armanpour, I would be a little nuts, too.

Again, this shows that there is more evidence to support liberal influence to violence than conservative, and shows the disgusting attempts to politicize a tragedy by sore losers in the liberal intelligentsia who don't care about the victims other than ratings and political traction. The fact that the Left continues this idiocy and that the college morons were cheering and whooping it up at a memorial service shows the lack of understanding and compassion by the Left.

Plain-Dealer's Hit Piece on Jordan

So a guy who has previously turned down invitations to CPAC turns down a request for this years event and suddenly the Plain Dealer thinks they have a gotcha story.  This might be a real story if Rep. Jim Jordan was a regular attendee of the conference, but he isn't. 

This is journalistic malpractice via guilt by association tactics designed to protect Connie Schultz's husband: Senator Sherrod Brown.  While Brown gets a mention, once again the Plain Dealer fails to disclose their own connection to him.  This is nothing more than an in-kind contribution to the Brown campaign.

Objectivity?  What objectivity???

The View on Boehner is Not Fair

The dogs at the View and Elizabeth Hasselbeck talked about incoming Speaker of the House John Boehner's emotional interview on 60 minutes and his propensity to cry when talking about his background. Barbara Walters, in this clip, joined by that idiotarian female canine Joy Behar (notice I didn't say in heat because Joy hasn't been in heat since Lincoln was splitting logs), makes fun of Boehner, saying he has "emotional problems" and is "weeper of the House." Heheheh, how droll! Not! These women are disgusting. John Boehner is emotional because unlike those disgusting, troll like, unattractive ungrateful gasbags on the View (excluding Hasselbeck) he is proud of his country and the blessings it has bestowed upon him, given his humble beginnings.

I mean, if crying is so bad, I want to see them rail on Oprah for crying so much, or on Kate Gosselin, or most of the cast of Dancing with the Stars over the years. This is a disgusting personal attack.

If any of the ungrateful, spiteful, shrivelled frigid gas bags on the View were actually appreciative or respectful of this country, they might realize their blessings and be a little emotional, too! It amazes me that any woman would lower herself to be included in this show's viewing audience. These women (Hasselbeck excepted) are nothing more than parodies of gossipping shelas who have nothing to offer save hateful spite spewing forth from the fact they are shallow and have no principled depth, or emotional core.

Fed Bailed Out GE, Where was News Coverage by MSNBC and Others?

Oh yeah, GE owned NBC and MSNBC et. al. From the Washington Post:

The Fed's efforts to prop up the financial sector reached across a broad spectrum of the economy, benefiting stalwarts of American industry including General Electric and Caterpillar and household-name companies such as Verizon

No wonder they have been such cheerleaders for Obama and stimulus and bailouts. They benefitted directly from them!

Obama Administration Blacking Out Spill Coverage, Questioning

I thought this administration was going to be the most open and honest ever? I thought that it would be the most ethical? Someone told me if I voted for Bush and McCain, then the media would be blacked out on things to protect the politicians. Well, they were right, but Bush and McCain aren't doing it. The Obama Administration is:

When the operators of Southern Seaplane in Belle Chasse, La., called the local Coast Guard-Federal Aviation Administration command center for permission to fly over restricted airspace in Gulf of Mexico, they made what they thought was a simple and routine request. A pilot wanted to take a photographer from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans to snap photographs of the oil slicks blackening the water. Journalists struggling to document the impact of the oil rig explosion have repeatedly found themselves turned away from public areas affected by the spill, and not only by BP and its contractors, but by local law enforcement, the Coast Guard and government officials.

To some critics of the response effort by BP and the government, instances of news media being kept at bay are just another example of a broader problem of officials’ filtering what images of the spill the public sees.

Scientists, too, have complained about the trickle of information that has emerged from BP and government sources. Three weeks passed, for instance, from the time the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20 and the first images of oil gushing from an underwater pipe were released by BP. But the incident with Southern Seaplane is not the only example of journalists being told they cannot go somewhere simply because they are journalists. CBS News reported last month that one of its news crews was threatened with arrest for trying to film a public beach where oil had washed ashore. The Coast Guard said later that it was disappointed to learn of the incident.

Name That Party: ODOT Edition

Can you guess what word is missing from this Dayton Daily Democrat News piece on the latest scandal in Columbus? Also take special note that there is no mention of all the other scandals that party has managed to get tangled up in like we get when the culprit is a Republican.

What media bias?

Liberal Patriotism: West Point is Now an Enemy Camp

Chris Matthews is a disgusting human being. Not only did he used to have intern sandwiches with the deceased drunken vehicular manslaughterer Ted Kennedy, but he considers the military academy at West Point as "an enemy camp." He did it last night before Obama's speech about the "quasi" surge in Afghanistan.
Check it out:



This is liberal patriotism. The home of our future officers is an enemy camp. Terrorism is man caused disasters.

Who is writing for Matthews now, Gaffe-tastic Joe Biden?

This guy gets a tingle down his leg when Der Chosen One speaks but can't respect West Point?

Good news is that only 5 people saw it because it was on MSNBC.

We are Kenneth Gladney..And, I thought the Left Hated Pre-Emption

Andrew Breitbart is one of the shining lights of what is out on the internet. He has a great piece up at the Washington Times. Here are some excerpts with some comment and links:

CNN's Anderson Cooper and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow led the charge, declaring concerned Americans "tea baggers," an allusion to an absurd sexual fetish beneath describing in a family newspaper. This attack on hundreds of thousands of people practicing their constitutional right to protest speaks volumes not just about the hardened sociopolitical leanings of America's journalistic elite, but about the brazenness with which they are now wielding their unprofessionalism.

Last week on the grounds of the once-venerated White House, Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, taking his cues from his allies in the media, referred to last week's health care town-hall protesters as "tea baggers."

How far we have fallen.

Indeed. Is it not more pathetic that these supposed leaders in journalism know this practice enough to call others practioners of it? Makes you wonder what they do in their downtime. And for a sitting US Senator to use such language? Despicable....Andrew continues:

Stepping up the rhetoric from mockery to pure hatred, and absent any evidence, Mr. Olbermann has called the president's public protesters "worse than racists." Political activist and comedianJaneane Garofalo colored them "racist rednecks who hate blacks." And at the somewhat higher end of the food chain, liberal economist Paul Krugman in the New York Times wrote last week that they were motivated by "cultural and racial fear."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is having a hard time these days explaining the president's Israel policy to her Jewish constituents, blatantly lied and said that the protesters were wielding "swastikas and symbols like that."

What is all this really about? Breitbart hits it:

The mainstream media and the Democratic Party are working in concert to make sure that what happened to President Bush -- sustained organized grass-roots protests ("mobs," if you will), relentless media criticism and permanent opposition-party obstructionism -- does not happen to their guy. Complicating matters, the media's fate is directly tied to the president's. Without them, Barack Obama would still be a backbencher from Illinois.

But the mockery. The recklessness. Unsupportable libel isn't working. The tea parties and, now, the health care protests at town-hall meetings have only gotten bigger and stronger.

And now, the harm begins. Breitbart puts the lies to these claims:

I've attended two tea parties so far. One was in Santa Ana, Calif., on April 15, where my 81-year-old father-in-law, the actor Orson Bean, joined fellow actor Gary Graham and newly naturalized American citizen Ian Mitchell, from the Scottish '70s music sensation, the Bay City Rollers.

I saw no "tea bagging." Blacks and Hispanics carried signs along with the white majority. But there was a sketchy dog dressed in a red, white and blue sweater.

Last week, a black gentleman named Kenneth Gladney went to a town-hall meeting hosted by Rep. Russ Carnahan, Missouri Democrat. While passing out "Don't Tread on Me" flags, he was viciously attacked by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members. One called him a "nigger."

These union thugs were directed by the White House to go to the protests and "punch back twice as hard." And they did.

While the attack was captured on video and is available on YouTube, Mr. Gladney's horrifying story is absent from MSNBC's 24/7 media cycle. Mr. Krugman has yet to write about it. And Mr. Cooper has yet to condemn the attack.

First they came for the guy selling buttons and flags.

Then they shut up the old people:


When they come for you, will anyone else be left?

Stay strong and stand firm....We are not astroturf. We are not mobsters. We are concerned citizens exercising our Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. Kenneth Gladney was just trying to exercise his rights. He was just passing out historical flags of our country to interested parties. Where are the cries for hate crimes prosecution? I guess we only prosecute for hate crimes if a drunken black man with a record is subdued by police coming down from a drug high. I guess we only cry hate crimes when a liberal black is denied something. This man could have been killed simply for speaking his mind....

And what is the left doing? The Daily Kos and firedoglake are making fun of this man who was beaten and had to be taken to the hospital. The Left is making fun of a black man beaten by a rabble of SEIU union thugs. The left is laughing and agreeing that he is an "n word." Where is the outrage? Where is it?

We are all Ken Gladney, standing against this tyrannical oppression by the statist media and the oligarchs on the Hill.

Mark Steyn makes an excellent point:

Gotta love this ‘post-racial America’: Democrat union heavies can beat up a black guy using racial epithets and leave him in a wheelchair unable to speak – and happily (unlike, say, a black professor being asked for picture ID) it’s not ’symbolic’ of anything at all. Not a Sharpton in sight to speak up for him: Mr Gladney’s only shot at fame is an entry in The Guinness Book Of Records under ‘Least Famous Black Hate-Crime Victim In America’.

I guess this is pre-emptive hitting back. Obama's admin over the weekend said that if the left got hit, they would punch back twice as hard. Gee, who knew the left ever believed in pre-emption?

These are not the words of a post racial, uniting president. These are the words of a Chicago ganglord, er, community organizer, who is upset that people dare question him or his ideas.

Stay strong. Stand firm. Question with boldness.
