Something is going terribly wrong with the Axelrod-Alinsky playbook. President Obama’s phony calls for civility are being widely viewed as the charade they are. Obama urged greater civility on Mar. 6 while lecturing us on the "course language" used by radio host Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh has been targeted by the media and the Democrats since he called Democratic activist, Sandra Fluke, a “slut” because she lectured America on the moral necessity of having her contraception paid for by taxpayers. One could debate whether "slut" was the best adjective to describe Fluke (I myself prefer "freeloader"), yet Rush’s use of the word slut was almost quaint when compared with million dollar Obama donor, Bill Maher, who called Gov. Sarah Palin a “c*nt” during a live show in Texas and a “dumb twat” during his HBO TV show. She·PAC, the conservative women's political action committee, has answered Obama’s sickening level of hypocrisy with a powerful video.
“I thought about Malia and Sasha. I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way…and I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names.”
Well Mr. President, I wonder what your daughters (and Mrs. Obama) would think of this?
Please distribute widely to anyone who believe the Democratic promoted fantasy that it is the GOP that is engaging in a "war on women".
Breitbart editor Joel Pollak skillfully turns the tables on Soledad O’Brien's after her carefully orchestrated hit job went terribly wrong. Pollak makes an utter fool of the CNN anchor as she makes a garbled attempt to explain and defend Critical Race Theory. Soledad rudely interrupts Mr. Pollak and lectures him, claiming that Critical Race Theory is not radical, then pounds away with: “I’m still trying to understand what the bombshell is.” Pollak's apropos response:
“The bombshell is happening right on this program where we have a story and you’re not interested in telling your viewers who Derek Bell is. You want to come in and obfuscate by telling me that I do not know what Critical Race Theory is.”
Over and over, the Harvard educated O'Brien refers to the “tenured Harvard Professor” as a way to elevate Derek Bell. Note that Joel Pollak is also a graduate of Harvard (Law School) but is treated by Soledad with all of the reverence that CNN affords to those knuckle dragging, "Tea Baggers" (term coined by fellow, fair minded CNN anchor Andersen Cooper).
Critical Race Theory, in a nutshell, argues that the law is a weapon of the majority whites to oppress “people of color.” It argues for “structural racism”--the idea that American institutions are aligned against blacks, whether the oppressor is the criminal justice system, a cabdriver without a fare, businesses, government, Domino's Pizza, banks, or the police.
Critical Race Theory does not view the law as applying equally to all Americans, but advocates for racially unfair implementation of the law to right past injustice.
The grizzly and wretched Don Imus went into a vicious tirade against Rush Limbaugh on his local morning show today. In defending the freeloading, "reproductive rights activist" and leftist, Imus contributed to the onslaught of progressive assault on free speech. The old goat gets more pathetic with each passing year.
Why we Love Newt. No one else seems able to turn the tables on the elite media the way he does.
In this clip, Newt excoriates progressive host David Gregory for dwelling on Rush Limbaugh's dust up with leftist activist Sandra Fluke instead of the monumental problems facing the country in order to protect Obama.
I was shocked and saddened to discover this morning on Drudge that Andrew Breitbart was dead.
Andrew was one of our bravest warriors and our loss is immeasurable. But he has inspired thousands of others to continue the good fight against the radical left that now hold the reigns of power in America. His death at the age of 43 reminds us that you only get one life and not many of us use that life to effect change in the way that Breitbart did. And Andrew had the goods on Obama, as he explains in his in inspirational 2012 CPAC speech in February.
"There's no such thing as a moderate Democrat. And so what do we get now, in Barack Obama? In this election we're going to vet him.
I've got videos, by the way, and in this election we're going to vet him. I've got videos. This election we're going to vet him. From his college days, to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what 'hope and change' was sold in 2008.
The videos are going to come out. The narrative is going to come out: that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver pony-tails [left wing academics] back in the 1980s, like Bill [Ayers] and Bernadine Dohrn who said "one day, we're going to have the presidency.'
And the rest of us slept while they plotted and they plotted and they plotted. And they oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in the Annenberg Challenge, from real capitalists, who gave it to their children and their children's children [who] then became communists. We've got to work on that...
Barack Obama is a radical and we should not be afraid to say it. And Barack Obama was launched from Bill and Bernadine's salon... it became self-evident to me that [Obama enjoyed] many a meal there... And don't tell me, ABC, CBS and NBC that I can't posit that theory, because it is a self-evident truth. Just like it was a self-evident truth that he was with Jeremiah Wright. And just as it was a self-evident truth that when he was at Harvard, he was advocating for the worst of the worst to join the faculty. Radicals. Radicals at "Beirut on the Charles".
And that who's in the White House. And that's who's outside right now [the Occupy movement] telling you that you don't have a right to be here. They would squelch your free speech just as easily as they do at Harvard, Vassar, Yale, Wesleyan - they're a bunch of totalitarian freaks.
The media can no longer be called objective journalists
And they pal around with our friends in the mainstream media. I always thought the media leaned to the left... but when they act like a Provost at a politically correct university and tell people to shut up, [then] no longer can they be called objective journalists. They're playing for the other side.
They've been part of demonizing good and decent people. They tried to defeat the Tea Party and when they failed, just like when they tried to create a [leftist] Rush Limbaugh and they failed with Air America, they want what they can't have. They wanted what they could not have and what did they create?
What kind of blind, fool would claim–in the year 2012–that “Washington Isn't Spending Too Much”?
Answer: Leftist propagandist Austan Goolsbee, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, and chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers from 2010 to 2011.
Yes, the egghead professor embarrasses himself in this WSJ article, attempting to defend the Obama spending record with a combination of sleight of hand, demagoguery, and outright lies. Reader comments regarding Goolsbee’s arguments are overwhelmingly negative (about 10 to 1). Were the same article to appear in the NY Times, it would no doubt draw praise to the Leftist in similar proportions.
In short, Austan Goolsbee is to the profession of Economist, what Bernie Madoff is to profession of Financial Adviser.
Fortunately, Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute tears Goolsbee’s pro-tax propaganda to shreds, in the point-by-point rebuttal below.
