Good grief~ Joe Biden Uses Fake Indian Accent During Speech About Outsourcing (Video)
While at a jobs event in Rochester, New Hampshire: VP Joe Biden uses an Indian accent to imitate call service employees. I can just imagine the firestorm if a Republican had done this. Here's the video of Biden in NH.
BIDEN: Even call centers, even call centers rushed over seas, hundreds of thousands. How many times you get the call, ‘I like to talk to you about your credit card’? Or that ad on TV, what is it? ‘Nancy, this is Nancy, can I talk to a supervisor?’ Right? Ok? Well, it’s a little overdone but the truth of the matter is these jobs now are paying about $19.50 an hour if memory serves me.

LOL Biden is always getting in trouble on racial and ethnic things. Not the brightest bulb Joe sheesh!

Nancy Pelosi Slips Quietly into Hawaii Resort; $10,000 a Night Suite and Obama's Hawaii Trip Etimated $4,113,038
While President Obama Arrives in Hawaii Amidst Security and Fanfare, Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Slips Quietly into Big Island Resort
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, who served as Speaker of the House and is now head of the House minority, is once again spending her Christmas at the exotic Four Seasons Resort Hualalai at Historic Ka'upulehu in Kona on the island of Hawaii.
Pelosi reportedly plans to spend her Christmas Eve at midnight mass in St. Michael's Catholic Church in Kailua-Kona.
Pelosi spent the last two Christmas holidays in Kona at the same hotel in an elaborate suite that rents for $10,000 a night.
The Four Seasons Resort Hualalai’s details its luxurious setting and amenities on its web site: “Gloriously revitalised, this natural tropical paradise offers more than ever to explore – with a newly expanded Spa, beachfront dining, fashion boutiques and new Deluxe Suites, in addition to Jack Nicklaus signature golf. Set on the Big Island’s exclusive Kona-Kohala Coast, this showpiece resort captures the essence of Hawaiian design, culture and tradition.”
Pelosi has her share of allies in Hawaii, including Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who she defended during his successful campaign for governor in 2010. When Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Mufi Hannemann claimed during the primary that Abercrombie was not effective in Congress, Pelosi issued a statement calling Abercrombie “outstanding, effective and courageous.”
Pelosi has been escorted by local police during her last two holiday visits to Hawaii Island at a cost of $34,000 to local taxpayers.
Obama’s trip to the island of Oahu has proved much pricier to state and federal taxpayers:
- a Hawaii Reporter story published last week, the total cost (based on what is known) for a 17-day round trip vacation to Hawaii for the President and his family and staff and security is an estimated $4,113,038.
-That includes $3,629,622 for separate travel for the president and his family, $151,200 for housing for security, $72,216 for staff to stay in one of Hawaii's most luxurious resorts, the Moana Surfrider in Waikiki, and local police protection and ambulance detail for $260,000.

Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer: " GOP Payroll Tax Cut Bill Will “Literally Kill 8,100 People" ...More Insanity From The Left
Boxer: GOP giving Americans 'poison' for Christmas
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) on Tuesday accused Republicans of pushing legislation that would poison more than 8,000 people to death as a Christmas gift to Americans.
“They have attached a poison pill — literally, colleagues — because it will kill 8,100 more people more than would have otherwise been killed from pollution,” said Boxer, referring to a provision Republicans have included in their payroll tax cut extension bill that would delay the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) industrial boiler regulations.
“They attach that to the payroll tax cut,” said Boxer, the chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. “So have that for a Christmas gift.”
Boxer went on to mock Republican senators, wondering what they might say to their constituents when the return to their districts for the holiday break.
" 'Hi, I'm your senator, here is a tax cut for you of about a thousand dollars but sorry you might die from breathing in too much poison in the form of mercury lead and arsenic,' " she said. “That’s what’s going on here.”
"We have asked for a lot from Santa in our day but we have never asked for lead, arsenic and mercury,” Boxer concluded.
Wild Thing's comment......
Wait jsut a second.... will Boxer be one of the 8,100??? heh heh
Everytime the Republicans pass something we hear how many people will be killed. Kind of strange coming from the same people who throw money at Planned Parenthood.

Democrat Harry Reid: “Millionaire Job Creators Are Imaginary Like Unicorns, They Don’t Exist” ~ Only An Idiot Would Believe Reid! (Video)
Harry Reid: “Millionaire Job Creators Are Imaginary Like Unicorns, They Don’t Exist”
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) suggested on Monday that millionaires who create jobs are a mere figment of Republicans’ imaginations.
“Millionaire job creators are like unicorns,” said Reid from the Senate floor. “They are impossible to find and don’t exist.”
Reid’s frustration has grown in past weeks as Republicans have repeatedly and overwhelmingly blocked almost every fragment of President Obama’s jobs package brought to the floor because Democrats have attempted to pay for them by raising taxes on millionaires. Republicans say they oppose that tax because it would hamper job creation.

Harry Reid Says Democrats Plan To Continue Blaming Bush As Their 2012 Campaign Strategy
The Senate’s top two Democratic and Republican leaders agree on at least one thing: Democrats will try to make the 2012 election about George W. Bush.
After occupying the White House for three years, Democrats will try to blame everyone but themselves, including the Bush administration, for the sour economy and jobs crisis, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday in a floor exchange with Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat and close ally of President Barack Obama, conceded that McConnell wasn’t completely off base.
“I do think the presidential election will be based on what took place in the Bush administration, how we tried to recover from that, how things have been exacerbated because of the tsunami and European debt crisis,” Reid said.
Earlier, McConnell summed up what he viewed as the Democratic campaign being waged in the Senate against Republicans: “After being the administration in power for three years, it’s – No. 1, it’s George Bush’s fault.”
“Among other causes of our current dilemma that have been cited by the president and others, in addition to the previous administration, it was the tsunami in Japan, it’s the European debt crisis,” the minority leader continued. “Of course, it’s the Republicans in Congress. It’s those millionaires. It’s those people in Wall Street.

Corrupt Democrat Barney Frank Not Seeking Re-election in 2012
Barney Frank not seeking re-election in 2012
Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank, a prominent 16-term liberal Democrat and arch-enemy of political conservatives nationwide, announced Monday he does not intend to seek re-election in 2012, according to a statement from Frank's office.
Frank, 71, said his decision to retire from Congress was prompted partly by changes made to the boundaries of his U.S. House district. As part of Massachusetts' recently concluded redistricting process, Frank's 4th Congressional District will lose the heavily Democratic blue-collar port city of New Bedford while gaining several smaller, more conservative towns.
"I will miss this job, (but) the district is very substantially changed," with roughly 325,000 new constituents, Frank told reporters. The veteran congressman said he was planning to retire after 2014 regardless, but said he didn't "want to be torn" next year between the need to serve his existing constituents, reach out to new district residents and protect his signature Dodd-Frank financial regulatory reform law.
Wild Thing's comment.......
I heard on TV that Barney Frank almost did not get elected the last time, so if they redistrict his area they said he is almost sure not to win his next election.
If there was real justice in the world, Barney would be headed to prison for the things he has done. What he did with Fannie Mae and Mac was HUGE in how bad it was.
Bye Bye Barney Fwank.

Obama Voter Colin Powell :"Occupy Wall Street Protests 'As American As Apple Pie"
"It's up to leaders in Washington to find a way to listen to the needs of the Occupiers", he said. | AP Photo
Colin Powell : in 2011 Powell said.....Occupy Wall Street Protests 'As American As Apple Pie.' BUT Colin Powell Back in 2010: Tea Party is All Slogans, No Agenda
Colin Powell says the Occupy Wall Street protests are “as American as apple pie,” and political leaders need to do more than just “scream” at the demonstrators.
“Demonstrating like this is as American as apple pie. We’ve been marching up and down and demonstrating throughout our history,” the former secretary of state said on CNN Thursday night.
“So what you’re seeing with Occupy Wall Street and others is people who are unhappy, and they’re directing their unhappiness right now toward Wall Street and toward others they think are doing too well in our society.”
Powell spoke warily of reports of violence breaking out in some Occupy protests, noting that some have demonstrated “absolute nihilism” and a narrow interest in destruction and tearing down the system.
Still, it is up to political leaders in Washington to find a way to constructive listen to the needs of the Occupiers, he said.
He added, “This is something that our political leaders need to think about. It isn’t enough just to scream at our Occupy Wall Street demonstrators — we need our political system to start reflecting this anger back into how do we fix it? How do we get the economy going again

I an NO fan of Powell and never have been. Once again he proves how awful he is. People have died, been arrested, businesses have been attacked with spray paint and broken windows etc., disease in these occupy camps is happening ( TB and body % head lice), it is sickening, people going to the bathroom on police cars. OMG these people are vile and filthy and they sure as heck are not as American as apple pie, sheesh. Plus Powell says in this article that Washington should listen to them??? About what???

Herman Cain Stumped Several Times During Lincoln-Douglas Style Debate Last Night
From the Lincoln-Douglas style debate (almost) last nighth on C-SPAN, between Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich at The Woodlands, Texas, here is Cain getting stumped by a question on Medicare, which he started to try and answer, and then threw it over to Gingrich to go first. Cain actually did this several times during the “debate”.
.
.
Wild Thing's comment......
Newt clearly won the debate hands down. Herman Cain is clueless, Newt showed him who was the teacher and who was the student, and if Cain wasn't letting Newt go first he was using Rick Perry's lines from Rick's campaigns speech!!!!
Cain is winging his way through everything, He is incapable of running this country. Cain is making the tea party look like a joke for everything they stand for and I will go so far as to say the GOP ( conservatives in the party) as well.
I am sorry to be so tuff about this but there has got to be some reality, this is about our country and it's survival. I have seen Cain use lines from Perry before but this is getting more and more obvious.
There are some truly wonderful people supporting Cain , but for me there is just no comparison between Cain vs. Newt ( Newt with his vast knowledge ) or Cain vs. Perry ( Perry tremendous experience and succss as a leader).
PLEASE understand non my opinion is personal it is political. I have been for Perry from the start, I was thrilled when he got in the race. I have tried to be as fair as possible posting about others but also keeping honest about what I felt about each one. I love you all and appreciate your passion for the person you are supporting. But have to be honest in my post because my blog is a part of who I am.
To Herman Cain I would say, I am sorry but lingos, bumper sticker speak and ad jingles have their place but one does need to speak in substance sometimes especially if that person wants to hold the highest office in the land and the most powerful office in the world. And to get many of your best lines from a candidate you despise has been truly disgusting and shameful to do.
During the debate Newt gave Perry credit thank you Newt. Perry has already reduced medical costs in Texas with Tort Reform and successfully tested a privatized SS system in Galveston which he thinks everyone should be able to implement. Cain dismissed this fact of what Perry has done that would have had referrence to the question they were asked.
Just for information in case you want it this is about Newt. I am not familar with the blog. It is a Sarah Palin blog I think from the photos in the sidebar.
Here is the link with information about Newt's record and things he has done one might want to think about.
NONE of the candidates are perfect. And we are vetting the heck out of them all. hahaa In my gut I am feeling like it will all work out OK I pray so anyway this election is so important. .

The Herman Cain Campaign (Pokeman? SimCity? 999?) - It's Performance Art!
Cain quoted "a poet" as having once said, "Life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it's never easy when there's so much on the line". These are lyrics from "The Power of One," a song written for Pokemon: The Movie 2000. Song is from pokemon movie 2000 by Donna Summers.
This could be dismissed as a charming flub, if only it was the first time Cain had used Pokemon lyrics in a political speech. Cain quotes the line on what appears to be his official website (attributing it to the 2000 Olympics closing song, which it's not), at his official campaign announcement in May, and at the Republican Leadership Conference in June.

LOL I give Cain a plus for trying and actually pulling this pokeman thing off. No harm of course but in terms of Presidential and taking the credit for it when it is NOT his. haha yikes That is a different story.

Nancy Pelosi Not Making A Judgment Till She Sees The Package...a Fuller Package ~ LOL
“It’s no use asking me about specific things until we see the whole package,” Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. “I’m not making any judgment about any package until I see the fuller package that it’s a part of.”
Pelosi stays mum on proposed Medicare cuts in Dems' supercommittee plan
As a growing number of liberal Democrats are attacking a plan from supercommittee Democrats to slash Medicare benefits, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is being careful not to wade too deeply into the controversy.
"It's no use asking me about specific things until we see the whole package," Pelosi said Thursday during a press briefing in the Capitol. "I'm not making any judgment about any package until I see the fuller package that it's a part of."
Still, the California Democrat reiterated her party's insistence on a "balanced" deficit-reduction plan, suggesting that she and her caucus won't support a package that fails to spread the pain of austerity across a class spectrum.
"It's not fair to say to a senior, 'You're going to pay more for Social Security,' and we're not going to touch a hair on the head of the wealthiest people in our country," Pelosi said.
On Tuesday, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) presented Republicans on the deficit panel with a sweeping proposal that includes hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicare cuts and more than $1 trillion in new tax hikes — a package approaching the "grand bargain" that was negotiated over the summer by President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Harry Reid BLOCKS VOTE on Obama Jobs Bill
REID BLOCKS VOTE on Obama Jobs Bill
For all of President Obama’s insistence that Congress must “pass this bill now,” and Democrats’ assurances that they have the votes necessary to pass it, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was in no mood to vote on the president’s jobs-creation bill Tuesday afternoon.
Reid blocked a vote on Obama’s jobs bill after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made a motion to add it as an amendment to a bill being heard on the floor. That bill was an effort to put pressure on China to allow its currency to appreciate.
Wild Thing's comment........
It is amazing what is happening in D.C., our government, the WH....shocking and beyond disappointing. God help us if we do not get a conservative elected and kick obama out of jail for him would make it perfect.

Occupy DC Protest Group Clash With Guards At The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum ~ These People Are Mentally Ill !
Occupy DC protest group Clash With Guards At The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum
Protesters clashed with security staff when they tried to enter a museum in Washington on Saturday, prompting one guard to use pepper spray and leading to at least one arrest, a spokeswoman said.
The incident occurred at The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum around 3:15 pm (1915 GMT), after hundreds of activists had marched from Freedom Plaza, near the White House, along the National Mall towards the US Capitol.
Some of those in the demonstration were affiliated with the Occupy DC protest group that sprung up earlier this week as a spin-off of the larger Occupy Wall Street movement in New York, angered at “corporate greed.”
Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas said a group of the protesters were confronted when they tried to push through the doors and enter the Air and Space Museum.
“When they were told they couldn’t bring the banners they were carrying inside one security officer used pepper spray,” she said.
“There were a couple of hundred protesters in the area at the time and Washington police were called. There was one arrest that I know of,” she added, noting that the museum closed its doors two hours early because of the clash.
Occupy DC, a young group of several dozen protesters, is camping out at McPherson Square on Washington’s K Street, where many political lobbyists have their offices.

Nancy Pelosi Gives Occupy DC Protests Her Blessing ~ And This Woman Is Elected To Office????OMG
House Democratic leader NANCY PELOSI, to CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, for ABC’s “This Week,” on whether she supports the Occupy Wall Street protests: “Well, I support the message to the establishment — whether it’s Wall Street or the political establishment and the rest — that change has to happen. . . . I think one of the most angry responses I’ve seen to actions in Washington came after we passed the TARP bill. . . . People are angry . . . that they don’t have jobs. . . . [T]here’s nothing that makes you angrier than not being able to provide for your family or understand what your prospects are for the future. And I do think that, from what we saw after TARP, that the focus on Wall Street was one that they thought was a legitimate place to go: ‘Don’t do this again. Don’t put Main Street at the mercy of Wall Street.’. . . [N]ot to paint everyone on Wall Street with the same brush. That would not be fair.”
AMANPOUR: “I just want to get your reaction to some comments by Eric Cantor [at the Values Voter Summit]. He said, quote: ‘I’m increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and other cities around the country. . . . Believe it or not, some in this town have actually condoned the pitting of Americans against other Americans.’”
PELOSI: “I didn’t hear him say anything when the Tea Party was out demonstrating, actually spitting on members of Congress right here in the Capitol [that never happened — ed.]. And he and his colleagues were putting signs in the windows encouraging them.”
AMANPOUR: “But do you think it’s pitting Americans against Americans?”
PELOSI: “Well, that’s the American system. It’s the democratic system. We don’t all agree. We’d have a king if we were all of one mind. We don’t. We have different views. And the part of the democracy of our country is the expression that people give, and the Constitution guarantees that.”

Organizer Admits To Paying ‘Occupy DC’ Protesters ~ LOL These People Are So Pathetic!!!
Organizer admits to paying ‘Occupy DC’ protesters
Marxists, union officials, Code Pink leaders, and far left loons held a rally against capitalism today at the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters in Washington DC. The protesters don’t like the kind of jobs created by Chamber of Commerce members in a free society.
A liberal organizer told the Daily Caller on Thursday afternoon that he paid some Hispanics to attend “Occupy DC” protests happening in the nation’s capital.
TheDC attended the protest event, an expansion of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement that began in New York City. Some aspects of the protest, it turned out, are more Astroturf than grassroots.
One group of about ten Hispanic protesters marched behind a Caucasian individual from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting rent control in Washington, D.C.
Asked why they were there, some Hispanic protesters holding up English protest signs could not articulate what their signs said.
Interviewed in Spanish, the protesters told conflicting stories about how their group was organized. Some said it was organized at their church, and that they were there as volunteers. Others, however, referred to the man from the DC Tenants Advocacy Coalition — the only Caucasian in the group — as their “boss.”

Gingrich surprises Al Sharpton with birthday wish
Al Sharpton got an unlikely surprise birthday greeting Monday from Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
“I figured I would be the least likely phone call you’ll get tonight,” Gingrich said on the phone during Sharpton’s MSNBC show “Politics Nation.”
“Well, you got that right,” Sharpton responded. “So am I to believe that Newt Gingrich, who is the polar opposite of me in politics, called to wish me a happy birthday?”
The former Speaker of the House praised Sharpton for the work they did together on a tour around the country promoting education.
“While we may disagree about 99 things, on that one thing we were so much on the same team that it really was remarkable,” Gingrich said.
Gingrich said he thought Sharpton did a “great deal of good for children” on the tour.

Ron Paul Says He'd Consider Putting Dennis Kucinich in His Cabinet
Ron Paul says he'd consider putting Dennis Kucinich in his Cabinet
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) says he would consider putting the liberal congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in his Cabinet if he wins the presidency in 2012.
Paul said his libertarian political philosophy helps him connect with some on the far left — including Kucinich, who shares Paul’s general anti-war stance.
Paul joked that if he brought the Ohio congressman aboard in his administration, he might have to create a "Department of Peace."
"You've got to give credit to people who think," he said.
"Being pragmatic is about forming coalitions," Paul said at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. "I probably work with coalitions better than the other candidates. I don't think I've said anything negative here about the president."
Paul’s bid for the GOP nomination has yet to catch fire, though he enjoys perhaps the most passionate following in all of politics. He has had difficulty elevating himself to the top tier of candidates and complained that the media is not taking his campaign seriously.
But the congressman said he’s playing the long game, and values bringing political change over winning the presidency.
"Politics doesn't drive me as much as economic policy," Paul said. "We're in a big mess, personal liberty is under attack."
Paul said his presidential campaign is more about an "educational effort" of libertarian philosophies than a reflection of his personal ambition.
"There are a lot of people who just don't want to hear this," Paul said. "Very few people understand this, they don't have an understanding of how free markets work."
The congressman said the fact that other Republican candidates are talking about the Federal Reserve or rolling back entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare are victories for his campaign. Paul also says his campaign — coupled with a financial crisis that has brought into question the stability of the American economic system — is changing the prevailing attitudes of voters.
"It requires a lot more education and a lot more inroads," Paul said. "But absolutely, I think the whole country has come this way."
And yet Paul continues to struggle in the polls, hovering around 9 to 10 percent of Republican primary voters. While his showing is consistently better than some candidates who have garnered more attention, he is unsure of how he will propel himself to the top of the field.
"The supporters believe it's possible, I don't know," Paul said. "There's no reason to rule out the fact this can explode. Something has to give here."
Paul attributed some of the problem to the media, arguing that significant campaign milestones and rallies were underreported. And he acknowledged that as a candidate, he is responsible for delivering his message in a way that voters can appreciate.
"It partially is my fault, and I think that's what I work on most, refining my message," Paul said.
But Paul rejected the idea that he should adopt a more pragmatic or conciliatory strategy that would enable him to either grow his base among those skeptical of some of his views — particularly in terms of non-interventionist foreign policy — or achieve smaller pieces of his domestic policy goals legislatively.
"If you give up your principles, you're not being very pragmatic," Paul said.

"“This whole idea that the whole Muslim world is responsible for this and they are attacking us because we are free and prosperous, that is just not true. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda have been explicit … they have been explicit and they wrote and said that “we attacked America because you had bases on our holy land in Saudi Arabia, you do not give Palestinians fair treatment and you have been bombing (audience boos) … I didn’t say that. I’m trying to get you to understand what the motive was behind the bombing. At the same time we had been bombing and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis for ten years. Would you be annoyed?

Ron Paul Wants to Pull Plug on A/C for Troops in Afghanistan
Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul wants to bring U.S. armed forces home from Iraq and Afghanistan, and one way to achieve that goal might be to pull the plug on their air conditioning. In a statement made during Wednesday’s GOP debate, Paul lamented the “$20 billion” spent pumping AC into tents around Afghanistan and Iraq where American military personnel are stationed.
Paul, who declared that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is broke, offered his idea for addressing the agency’s funding concerns. Paul suggested that the $20 billion spent on troops’ AC should be brought home, where he would then “take ten [billion] off the debt and put ten [billion] into FEMA” or another program like child health care.
“But I tell you if we took AC out of the green zone, our troops would come home and that would make me happy,” Paul declared.
But if our service men and women could not be brought home and instead were to remain in Iraq and Afghanistan, would Paul really want them to go without air conditioning in the sweltering desert?

Refusing to have a legitimate discussion on the merits of each side's economic ideology, the Left has just gone ahead and decided that Tea Partiers are zombies. And those zombies must die!
Thus is the premise of the online video game "Tea Party Zombies Must Die!"...THIS IS THE LINK TO THE ACTUAL GAME WHERE A PERSON CAN KILL TEA PARTY ZOMBIES.
Among those that the Left wants murdered are Brit Hume, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity:
From Pundit Press
"And, yes, I actually tried to play the game. It was decidedly laggy and decidedly racist (there's a swastika visible within moments of starting your game). I know I shouldn't expect anything better from liberals, but when you're going to make something this offensive,you could at least try to pretend you're making a point."

If you would like to you can Call 202-282-8000 & Comment Line 202-282-8495 @ Homeland Security To Report Jimmy Hoffa For Making Treats Against "WE THE PEOPLE" Known As The TEA PARTY.

I told them I was reporting Jimmy Hoffa for threatening the American people, that there were other ways to stress his passion to get his point across and that Jimmy Hoffa crossed the line. That WE THE PEOPLE take these kinds of threats seriously. Telll Jimmy Hoffa we expect a retraction, an apology and that we also expect one from his boss Barack Obama as well for agreeing with this kind of thug statement.

Tax Payer Funded Event...Teamster Leader Jimmy Hoffa Warming Up Crowd For Obama Said on Tea Party: “Let’s Take These Son-of-a-Bitches Out!”
Hoffa on Tea Party: 'Take These Son-of-a-Bitches Out'
Cranking up the anti-Tea Party rhetoric, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa called on workers to "take these son-of-a-bitches out" as he warmed up a crowd Monday in Detroit ahead of President Obama's Labor Day speech.
The rhetoric coming from speakers at the event was already heated before Hoffa took the stage. Hoffa then declared there's a "war on workers" and vowed that organized labor would "remember in November" which lawmakers were opposing the president's agenda.
"We've got to keep an eye on the battle that we face -- a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party," he said. "And there's only one way to beat and win that war -- the one thing about working people is, we like a good fight."
Hoffa called on workers to get involved in opposing Tea Party-aligned lawmakers next November.
"President Obama, this is your army, we are ready to march," Hoffa said. "But everybody here's got to vote. If we go back, and keep the eye on the prize, let's take these son-of-a-bitches out."
On the same day as the rally, Hoffa co-authored a column in the Detroit Free Press that was highly critical of "right wing politicians in Congress." Labor leaders accused them of holding the country "hostage" in order to preserve tax breaks for the wealthy -- a reference to the debt-ceiling debate that lasted through much of the summer.
The union leaders called Washington's focus on deficit reduction "misguided" and urged Congress and the administration to put more energy into job-creation measures like infrastructure spending.

So we know who to blame for the broken windows, threats, and intimidation from now until election day don't we.
When Obama got up there to talk he said he was “PROUD OF HOFFA”....
So the President concurs with violence to those that disagree with him?
This is the new civility.

DEMOCRAT Indiana Rep. Andre Carson Stands By His Dangerous Violent Rhetoric and Lies: Declares 'War'
Far left Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) stood by his comments yesterday that tea party patriots want to hang blacks from trees. He made the outrageous comments during a speech last week in Florida.
.
From the video: “This is WAR” Congressional Black Causes’ Travels American Cities Using Dangerous Violent Rhetoric: Declares ‘War’ on Racist Tea Party, Says Tea Party Wants To Lynch Blacks, Calls for Bank Runs, Civil Unrest in Their Neighborhoods and Homes
As members of the Congressional Black Caucus converged in Los Angeles for its final national job fair series, one of its ranking members responded to his own previous inflammatory comments in Miami about the tea party, comparing their movement to Jim Crow laws that segregated and marginalized African Americans in society.
“Some of these folks in Congress would love to see us as second-class citizens. Some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me … hanging on a tree,” Carson said, according to the audio.
On Wednesday, Carson told CNN he stood by those remarks.
“Well, I wasn’t talking about the entire tea party. I think the tea party is absolutely right when they call for increased transparency in government, when they call for a cutback on excessive government spending. I am deeply concerned about some elements of the tea party who are extremist and who have reflected a mentality going back to the John Birch society, going back to George Wallace’s Dixiecrats,” Carson said.

Tea Party congressman to Black Caucus members: ‘Get a grip’
A Republican member of the House Tea Party Caucus on Wednesday countered recent inflammatory remarks by members of the Congressional Black Caucus against the Tea Party.
“I’m a TEA Party caucus member and have spoken at two tea party rallies. I am also NOT a racist. Maxine & Andre — get a grip,” Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) tweeted.
Rep. Andre Carson (D-Ind.) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) both directed harsh remarks at the Tea Party movement last week.
Carson accused the Tea Party members in Congress of wanting to see blacks “hanging from a tree.”
Waters said at an event in California, “The Tea Party can go straight to hell.”

My goodness, it always amazes me how there are people like this Andre Carson in this world and even more so how they work their way into our government. But you know what....his hate is exactly like Obama's. So much hate!!!
If someone said this BS to my face, in person I would laugh at them and then tell them how totally stupid they are and to go to the Library and learn the true history of Blacks and the two political parties. How it had been the Republicans NOT the Democrats that have stood up for them.
You know what that is what should happen to anyone when they mouth off like this. They should be forced to sit in a class on this subject. Remember the things I posted about Black Republican Association Chairman Frances Rice . She was in the Army and also write awesome articles and her goal is also to educate blacks on the true history.

Labor Day parade organizers confirm that no Republicans will be allowed to participate in this year's Labor Day Parade.

The parade is sponsored by the Marathon County Labor Council. A Wausau city spokeswoman said the city does not contribute any money to the parade.
Rep. Sean Duffy's chief of staff, Brandon Moody, released a statement to Newsline 9:
Newsline 9 has learned Rep. Sean Duffy has been told he is not allowed in this year’s Labor Day parade in Wausau.
Duffy’s office received that news earlier this week from parade organizers. His office was also told no Republicans will be allowed this year.
The parade is sponsored by the Marathon County Labor Council. A Wausau city spokeswoman said the city does not contribute any money to the parade.
Duffy’s chief of staff, Brandon Moody, released a statement to Newsline 9:
“Having walked in this parade in past years, Congressman Duffy was hoping that for a moment, we could set our differences aside and simply have some fun in a family-friendly event.”

Ron Paul Says U.S. Intervention Motivated 9/11 Attacks ~ Nut Case!
Ron Paul says U.S. intervention motivated 9/11 attacks
Two weeks away from the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, presidential candidate and Texas Rep. Ron Paul says that U.S. intervention in the Middle East is a main motivation behind terrorist hostilities toward America, and that Islam is not a threat to the nation.
At a campaign stop on Saturday in Winterset, one man asked Paul how terrorist groups would react if the U.S. removed its military presence in Middle Eastern nations, a move the candidate advocates.
“Which enemy are you worried that will attack our national security?” Paul asked.
“If you’re looking for specifics, I’m talking about Islam. Radical Islam,” the man answered.
“I don’t see Islam as our enemy,” Paul said. “I see that motivation is occupation and those who hate us and would like to kill us, they are motivated by our invasion of their land, the support of their dictators that they hate.”
Regarding 9/11, Paul said that attacks against the U.S. from Middle Eastern groups at home and abroad can be traced to the foreign presence of U.S. troops, as well as America’s relationships with dictator regimes.
Paul referred to a military base in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam, as a key motivator in the Sept. 11th attacks. Osama bin Laden viewed it as an American desecration of holy land.
“After 9/11, (people said) ‘Oh yeah, it’s those very bad people who hate us,’ but 15 of (the hijackers) came from Saudi Arabia,” said Paul. “One of the reasons they attacked us, is we propped up this Sharia government and the fundamentalists hated us for it.”
The congressman particularly decried U.S.-led bombings in foreign nations, saying that “almost always those individuals that they are trying to kill did not have any direct relationship” with threats to the U.S.

Democrats Murray, Baucus, Kerry on Super Committee ~ Could Not Be Worse!
Senator Max Baucus Drunk / Intoxicated on Senate Floor
.
Democrats Murray, Baucus, Kerry on Super Committee
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will appoint Democratic Sens. Patty Murray of Washington, Max Baucus of Montana, and John Kerry of Massachusetts to the new super committee tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in additional deficit reduction by November 23, according to a senior Democratic aide familiar with Reid’s decision, which is expected to be made public as early as Wednesday.
Additionally, Murray is expected to co-chair the committee, officially named the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, along with a still unnamed House Republican. A spokesman for Reid did not respond to a request for comment.
Reid’s decision to tap Murray will likely be met with scrutiny, as she is also chairing the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for the 2012 election cycle. But she is also a member of leadership, a senior member of the Budget Committee, and a woman on what is likely to be a male-dominated committee.
Baucus is chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee with jurisdiction over many areas, including entitlement programs, that the committee is expected to examine. Kerry, meanwhile, was selected for his stature and Senate tenure.
The remaining nine lawmakers have yet to be announced. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., each must name three members to the panel by August 16.
The panel will need at least seven of the 12 lawmakers to vote on a final proposal by Thanksgiving in order to fast-track it through both chambers and send it to President Obama by December 23. If the panel deadlocks along partisan lines, it would trigger across-the-board cuts for both defense and non-defense spending.

A member of The Greater Phoenix Tea Party politely Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to apologize for calling Tea Party members in the House and Senate "hobbits." McCain, who was quoting the Wall Street Journal, made his comments on the Senate floor.
"I am sorry if it was misunderstood. I am not sorry for what I said," McCain said to a heated audience.
"I mean, why should I when it’s the facts," Senator McCain added.

There was no misunderstanding what you said, and your non-apology is noted.

They returned the RINO to office. I don't mean all the people at this Townhall meeting ithey held but there must have been some there that DID put McCain back in office.
McCain is an ass but what we also see is what has to be called Arizonans having buyers remorse...again.

John Kerry Tells Media to Not Give Equal Time to Conservatives
John Kerry advocating that the media needs to stop giving equal time to conservative ideas and positions on issues! Kerry made the comments as part of his attack on the Tea Party Movement and fiscal conservatives in general for refusing to give President Obama a blank check with no strings attached in the recent Debt Ceiling debate.
“And what we had was a group of people who are completely unaware or didn’t care about the consequences of their actions. They were actually arguing for a default which would have been even more catastrophic with respect to what’s happening in Europe and what’s happening here at home now.
So we have to break that, and I have to tell you, I say this to you politely: the media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual, it doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do.
And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of, of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?”

Vile Remarks By Joe Biden As He Says Tea Party Republicans Have “Acted Like Terrorists” in Debt Limit Battle
Joe Biden Says Tea Party Republicans Have “Acted Like Terrorists” in Debt Limit Battle
Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit.
Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists,” according to several sources in the room.
Biden’s office declined to comment about what the vice president said inside the closed-door session.
Earlier in the day, Biden told Senate Democrats that Republican leaders have “guns to their heads” in trying to negotiate deals.
Biden told Democratic lawmakers that the deal would take away the tea party’s “weapon of mass destruction” — the threat of a default on U.S. debt obligations.

We’re getting kinda used to being called names. Racists and inciters of violence, and being accused of things that we have nothing to do with. But, I suppose it is a bit more appalling to have been called acting like terrorists by he who is second in command of the most powerful office in the world. It’s quite appalling and certainly proves how out of touch this White House is when it comes to realizing what the silent majority of Americans are seeing and feeling… To being called terrorists by the Vice President is quite appalling. It’s quite vile.

Classless and Cheapo Joe Biden Charging HIS Secret Service For Cottage Rental
Biden charging Secret Service for cottage rental
The U.S. Secret Service does more than protect Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — the agency also pays him rent.
Since April, Mr. Biden has collected more than $13,000 from the agency charged with protecting him and his family for use of a rental cottage adjacent to the waterfront home he owns in a Wilmington, Del., suburb.
Mr. Biden, listed not as vice president in federal purchasing documents but as a “vendor,” is eligible for up to $66,000 by the time the government contract expires in the fall of 2013, the records show.
Officials say the arrangement came about when a previous tenant moved out of the cottage and the Secret Service moved in.
Edwin M. Donovan, special agent in charge at the Secret Service's Office of Government and Public Affairs in Washington, said the agency pays $2,200 in rent per-month, the same amount a previous tenant had paid before moving out.
He said the close location provides a level of security for the Biden family the agency might not have had otherwise. Asked if the Secret Service typically pays rent to the people it protects, he said, “It’s a rental property so we pay rent there.”
Taxpayer watchdogs say the Secret Service should do everything it can to protect Mr. Biden, but they wonder whether he should be collecting rent from the agency while it’s doing its job.
“He should be afforded every single protection available to him and his family, as should every vice president and president,” said Leslie Paige, spokeswoman for the Washington-based Citizens Against Government Waste.
“But this arrangement seems bizarre to me,” she added. “You’d think the vice president, who shepherded the deficit committee, would think twice about charging the Secret Service rent. Why would he need the money? I don’t get it.”
According to Mr. Biden’s office, the vice president’s mother lived in the cottage until she died in January 2010. At that time, the Secret Service had been renting properties in the Wilmington area for agents who were providing a protective presence at Mr. Biden’s personal residence.
Mr. Biden later asked the Secret Service if the agency wanted to rent the cottage property, but the Secret Service declined and Mr. Biden rented it instead to a private tenant, according to the vice president's office. But almost a year later, when that tenant moved out, the Secret Service approached Mr. Biden about renting the cottage.
“The cottage was an existing rental property at the time the Secret Service signed its lease,” said Kendra Barkoff, a spokeswoman for Mr. Biden.
Last year, Mr. Biden and his wife, Jill, reported earning $379,178, including $11,000 in income from the cottage, according to the Bidens’ tax return. The Bidens did not list any rental income for 2009.
The Secret Service was the contracting agency on the two purchase orders so far that have paid Mr. Biden $13,200 combined for use of his cottage.
The first purchase order to Mr. Biden, for $2,200, was signed April 1, and the second, for $11,000, was signed June 2. The records both list Mr. Biden by name as the vendor under a section of the purchase order called “contractor information.” The purchase order describes Mr. Biden as a sole proprietor with no employees and no annual revenue.

Wild Thing's comment......
This is what DEMOCRATS do, I think it stinks to high heaven. Bill Clinton did the same thing. There was a question at the end of his presidency about how he was going to pay for his house in Chappaqua, NY with its $10,000 mortgage payment due each month. Clinton, you remember, never owned a home and had always lived off the taxpayer during his years of service in Arkansas. Enter Terry McAuliffe who financed the house for Clinton. Clinton then turned around and charged the Secret Service $10,000 a month rent for the use of a small gatehouse at the entrance to his property.
If I was the VP or a President and I have a gust house or cottage near our home I would want the SS to live close by and NO way would they be charged. I would be glad I had a place close by that would be perfect for them to be comfortable. Heck I would have special events at my property like family picnics etc. they could bring their families to be with them at times their duties kept them away too long.
But Democrats, they would have charged Mother Teresa the occasional crust of bread!! The turn around and say she had no bread because the Republicans would not give her any.

Desperate Nancy Pelosi Said Speaker Boehner Went To The " Dark Side in Debt Plan ~ So Typical Of A Democrat
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told the House floor that Speaker Boehner went to the “dark side” with his debt plan that would cut government spending. When Pelosi was Speaker the national deficit went from $162 billion to over $1.3 trillion dollars.
Right before the House voted to reject a Democratic debt-ceiling plan, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t mince words.
Pelosi pulled out a Star Wars reference on the House floor, saying that Speaker John Boehner “chose to go to the dark side” and court the most conservative members of his conference, rather than work on a bipartisan compromise.
“It’s time for us to end this theater of the absurd,” she said. “It’s time for us to get real.”
The House struck down the Democratic measure, 173-246, in a vote that was designed to fail. Boehner brought the measure up under a special rule that required a two-third majority for passage.
“This thing is not on the level,” Pelosi said before the vote.
Boehner’s office said Saturday morning that the vote on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s legislation would show that the Nevada Democrat’s plan can’t pass the House, dismissing it as a “pointless political exercise.”

Pelosi: GOP Using Deficit to ‘Destroy Your Rights ’ And ‘Undermine’ Government Tuesday, July 26, 2011 By Nicholas Ballasy (CNSNews.com)
When speaking at a news conference on workers rights, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) claimed that Republicans are using the budget deficit as a way to “destroy your rights” and “undermine the government.”
She continued, “They [Republicans] have a different vision of America and that vision of America is not one of fairness to Americans – American workers. They fear you because of their desire to have endless wealth and not take any responsibility for helping to grow the country that helped them succeed.”

The next day some jerk put a message to me at my YouTube page. He simply said....
" You are a C ( he spelled out the C word" )
It just shows how so many of the democrats cannot come back with an opinion, they can only resort to calling a person vile names.

Nadler: ‘We Don’t Have a Deficit Problem Right Now’
The way to get out of "unemployment crisis is to spend money," Rep. Nadler says.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) argued at a news conference with the Congressional Out of Poverty Caucus that the United States does not currently have a budget crisis.
"That’s the real crisis – the unemployment, not the deficit.
“We don’t have a deficit problem right now . . . The real problem is we’re not taxing properly. . . .We talk about, “We have a budget deficit crisis” – No we don’t! We have a tax crisis. We have a crisis that we’re not taxing properly, and we have a recession and unemployment crisis. The way to get out of that unemployment crisis is to spend money on more food stamps, on aid to states and local governments. . . If we did that, unemployment would go down and tax receipts would go up. . .”

Of course, like all liberal Democrats, he wants to raise taxes to keep the governmnet workers on the job, and inreas entitlements, and increase tax rates on business.....which he thinks is going to encourage them to increase their hiring capacity??? This guy has his head up a place where the sun will never find it!

The Tax and Spend Party the Democrats Sign Letter Stating They Will Reject Boehner's Bill, Democrats Prefer To Let America Go To Hell
All 53 Senate Democrats signed a letter tonight to House Speaker John Boehner saying essentially that they would rather the US default on its debt than pass the House GOP plan that would cut spending and force another vote next year.
Senate Democrats Promise to Reject Boehner Plan
Fifty-three Democratic senators have signed a letter to House Speaker John A. Boehner saying they intend to vote against his plan for an increase in the debt ceiling, virtually assuring its defeat in the Senate even as the speaker lines up Republican votes to pass it in the House on Thursday.
Votes are not final until they are cast. But if the Democrats hold to their promise in the letter, Mr. Boehner’s plan for a six-month increase in borrowing authority will not make it to President Obama’s desk.
“We heard that in your caucus you said the Senate will support your bill,” the senators say in the letter. “We are writing to tell you that we will not support it, and give you the reasons why.”
In the letter, the senators argue that a short-term extension of the debt ceiling would “put America at risk” and “could be nearly as disastrous as a default.”

All Mouth and No Brain, Ugly Vile Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz Lashes Out At Republicans For Wanting To Cut Spending and Reduce Debt
Debbie Wasserman Schultz says GOP seeks ‘dictatorship … spark panic'
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), chair of the Democratic National Committee, said Wednesday that House Republicans are trying to impose “dictatorship” through their tactics in the debt-ceiling negotiations. She said the GOP rhetoric could “spark panic and chaos,” which she called “potentially devastating” to the economy.
The chair telephoned POLITICO to express “significant disappointment in where … Republicans have allowed this debate to degenerate.”
“Aren’t we at the point where the closer we get to chaos, the more concern that there should be about coming to the table and compromising with Democrats?” Wasserman Schultz asked. “This is not leadership. This is almost like dictatorship. I know they want to force the outcome that … their extremists would like to impose. But they are getting ready to spark panic and chaos, and they seem to be OK with that. And it’s just really disappointing, and potentially devastating.”
Specifically, Wasserman Schultz cited a movie clip House Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) had played Tuesday during a closed-door meeting of the House Republican Conference. The brief clip was from “The Town,” and Republicans said it was intended to send the message that “we’re all in this together.”
The DNC chair said: “They start the day with trying to incite their caucus with, essentially, violent movie clips – pushing their people to inflict pain and hurt people.”

Democrat Rep. Wu (Oregon) Told To Resign Over Sex Scandal With Teen Daughter Of Longtime Friend and Campaign Donor
Earlier this year Wu shocked his staffers by sending them pictures of himself posing in a tiger costume. (NY Daily)
An upset young woman called Congressman David Wu (D-OR) at his office this spring and accused him of an unwanted sexual encounter.
Oregon Live reported:
A distraught young woman called U.S. Rep. David Wu’s Portland office this spring, accusing him of an unwanted sexual encounter, according to multiple sources.
When confronted, the Oregon Democrat acknowledged a sexual encounter to his senior aides but insisted it was consensual, the sources said.
The woman is the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor. She apparently did not contact police at the time.

Democrat Rep. Wu (Oregon) Told To Resign Over Sex Scandal With Teen Daughter Of Longtime Friend and Campaign Donor
Pressure on Democratic Rep. David Wu, 56 years old, to resign intensified Saturday as leaders in his own party began confronting the embattled Oregon lawmaker over allegations that he had an unwanted sexual encounter last Thanksgiving with a young California woman.
Wu spent the day in private absorbing calls from party operatives and lawmakers in Oregon and Washington, D.C. Reaction ranged from public calls for his resignation and attacks on his character to more private conversation about what’s next for Wu.
The conversations were triggered by an incident first reported by The Oregonian on Friday in which Wu was involved in an unwanted and aggressive sexual encounter with the daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor in California during a visit over Thanksgiving…
…The fallout Saturday from party leaders and opponents was a unified judgment that the seven-term member of the House had seriously jeopardized his ability to serve and could damage the party’s larger efforts in the 2012 election.
Among those contacting Wu was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who spoke with Wu by telephone on Saturday. The substance of the call was not disclosed. But a source with knowledge of the day’s conversations said a second party leader called Wu and urged him to resign.
In all, at least three senior party leaders in Washington spoke to Wu Saturday. Wu spent the day in Washington contemplating his future and had not come to a decision, several sources said.

It actually comes from the real experts, the people who framed the Constitution of the United States.

House Dems Want Apology From Rep.LTC Allen West ~ Two Words For YOU Democrats....Alan Grayson! And West Spoke the TRUTH!
Allen West email prompts call for apology from Democrats
Several House Democratic women on Wednesday called on Rep. Allen West to apologize to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz for his e-mail that called her “vile,” “despicable” and “not a Lady.”
The lawmakers said they were sending a letter to House GOP leadership, asking them to condemn the e-mail from the freshman Florida Republican. The group of five House Democrats said West’s e-mail was indicative of a larger problem – both inside Congress and out – of gender discrimination in the workplace.
“For his own good, they ought to take him into the woodshed and say, ‘if you want to survive in this work environment, you’ve got to keep your word, you’ve got to be cordial and congenial and civil even when you’re disagreeing,” said Rep. Gwen Moore (D-Wis.) “It makes for a very hard career otherwise.”
“Sticks and stones will not break Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz’s bones, and neither will Congressman West’s Blackberry,” added Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) who charged that in other workplaces, West would be hit with a sexual harassment claim.
So far, West’s office has stood by the e-mail, sent late Tuesday afternoon to Wasserman Schultz and copied to House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and West’s chief of staff, Jonathan Blyth. West has since sent fundraising letters referencing the e-mail, asking his supporters to donate money to defend himself from Wasserman Schultz – who is also chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has also used West’s e-mail in a fundraising letter.
The Congressional Black Caucus – of which West is the only Republican member – declined to take an official position on the matter. Moore said copies of the e-mail were circulated at the group’s weekly meeting earlier Wednesday afternoon.
Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) declined to comment on West’s comments. West, who attends the meetings infrequently, is supposed to provide lunch for the next meeting.
Wasserman Schultz herself has stayed relatively quiet on the e-mail, dismissing questions earlier Wednesday at a press conference and when asked on MSNBC, indicated that she sympathized with West for the “pressure” he faces for his stance on benefit cuts.
But her fellow Democrats were out in full force in her defense.
“I was especially appalled at the misogynistic suggestion that she was not being a lady,” Speier said. “Allen West knows as much about being a lady as Rupert Murdoch does about privacy.”
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) noted that West’s remarks came on the anniversary of the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., 73 years ago, saying “it’s ladylike to stand up and speak for what you believe.”
“I’m disappointed and I believe that ladies should never be called unladylike for participating as a woman in a man’s world,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) told POLITICO. “That’s what many of us do in this body. We don’t ask for special privileges, we simply ask that if there is a disagreement with our words you can come to the floor and discourse and debate.”
It wasn’t just women who condemned West’s missive on Wednesday. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) told reporters earlier Wednesday said the e-mail was “shocking to the conscience.”
“I thought it was just unfortunate that one member would send another member an e-mail like that,” Cummings said.
Black Caucus 'Furious' Over GOP Rep. West's Email to Dem Party Chief
The head of the Congressional Black Caucus told Fox News on Wednesday that members are “furious” about the incendiary email Rep. Allen West sent to the Democratic party chairwoman, saying he’s going to speak with the Florida Republican about the matter.
"It's unfortunate," Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said. He could not say whether the CBC would seek to discipline its only Republican member, but claimed lawmakers were upset the incident has brought "undue attention" to the caucus.
West fired off an email Tuesday to Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, calling her "vile, despicable and cowardly" for calling into question his stance on Medicare on the House floor.
The CBC was planning to discuss the email at its weekly meeting Wednesday, but votes got in the way and the caucus now plans to discuss the issue at a later date.
In the meantime, Cleaver said, "I'm going to talk to him."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., another member of the CBC, said he was "shocked" to see the language West had employed.
"We have really got to make sure that we maintain a high level of civility," he said.
Elsewhere, House Democrats' campaign arm quickly seized on the exchange, blasting out a fundraising pitch Wednesday asking donors to help them raise $100,000 toward defeating West next fall.
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rep. Steve Israel called his email "disgraceful" and "hate-filled," urging supporters to make sure Republicans "don't forget this moment."
West, though, stood by the email.
"I think it's important to stake my ground," West told Fox News. "It was about enough is enough, and it's my right to say that. She is the one elevating this."
In her remarks on the House floor, Wasserman Schultz had said: "The gentleman from Florida, who represents thousands of Medicare beneficiaries, as do I, is supportive of this plan that would increase costs for Medicare beneficiaries. Unbelievable from a member from south Florida."
She was alluding to a GOP-backed bill to reduce the debt and amend the Constitution to require a balanced federal budget. The House later approved the bill 234-190, but it is unlikely to pass the Democratic Senate.
West, who is in his first term, wasn't shy about his online outburst. He sent his email to numerous lawmakers, as well as Wasserman Schultz and other congressional leaders. The subject line of the email: "Unprofessional and Inappropriate Sophomoric Behavior from Wasserman Schultz."
The e-mail said: "Look, Debbie, I understand that after I departed the House floor you directed your floor speech comments directly towards me. Let me make myself perfectly clear, you want a personal fight, I am happy to oblige. You are the most vile, unprofessional and despicable member of the US House of Representatives. If you have something to say to me, stop being a coward and say it to my face, otherwise, shut the heck up."
West also wrote that Wasserman Schultz has proven "that you are not a Lady" and "shall not be afforded due respect from me!" He said he was alerting House leaders to her "heinous characterless behavior."
A spokesman for Wasserman Schultz, Jonathan Beeton, said in an email of his own: "I don't think that Congressman West is upset at the congresswoman, but rather with the fact that she highlighted that he and other Republicans are once again trying to balance the budget on the backs of seniors, children and the middle class. ... The truth hurts."
West's office did not back off the criticism after the email was widely distributed. A spokeswoman said Wasserman Schultz had taken "another cowardly cheap shot at Congressman West."
West told Fox News that Wasserman Schultz's comments were part of a "pattern" of "hate," and he felt that she "disrespected" him in her House floor speech.
"You don't need to call me out on your time to speak on the floor," West said. "Focus on what is your plan for the debt ceiling."
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., whom West copied on his email, defended the tea party-backed freshman.
“Tensions are building here sure," McCarthy told Fox News. "Allen is going to defend himself. There’s always a way to display that differently.”

Wild Thing's comment......
Schultz IS vile and despicable - funny that it offends people when someone speaks the truth.
He took the fight to them and they are not used to it. When you are taking flack, it’s because you are directly over the target.
This complaining about what he said is the height of double standard. Where were the dems when Grayson literally spewed his lies about Republicans and Conservatives???
Its time to start slapping them back, repeatedly.
Rep. Allen West was saying the things to the Rats, up front and personal, that we would love to say! He is the shining star amongst dull embers. Wasserman-Schultz has been harassing and smearing West for quite some time. He finally got fed up. She’s not lady. She’s a lying skunk. Remember this that SHE said: “Republicans Want To ‘Literally Drag Us All The Way Back To Jim Crow Laws.”
Allen West's office : 202-225-3026

CNN Host Kyra Phillips and Black Farmers Union’s John Boyd Use Race Card and Lies To Attack Michele Bachmann
CNN’s Kyra Phillips and Black Farmers Union’s John Boyd called Michelle Bachmann a racist today because she suspects that there might be fraud in the Pigford settlement payouts.
For the record… More than 92,000 blacks signed up for reparations from the Obama USDA after the Pigford case was extended this past year. That’s five times the number of blacks who were actually farming during the time period in question and would possibly qualify for the reparations.

Sheila Jackson Lee: GOP Complicating Debt Debate Because Obama is Black ~ She Needs Help, This Woman Is Sick!
Sheila Jackson Lee: GOP Complicating Debt Debate Because Obama is Black
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling because of his race.
"I do not understand what I think is the maligning and maliciousness [toward] this president,” said Jackson Lee, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “Why is he different? And in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully? Why has the debt limit been raised 60 times? Why did the leader of the Senate continually talk about his job is to bring the president down to make sure he is unelected?”
Earlier in her speech, Jackson Lee said Obama has been targeted unlike any other president.
"I am particularly sensitive to the fact that only this president — only this one, only this one — has received the kind of attacks and disagreement and inability to work, only this one," said Jackson Lee from the House floor.
"Read between the lines," she continued. "What is different about this president that should put him in a position that he should not receive the same kind of respectful treatment of when it is necessary to raise the debt limit in order to pay our bills, something required by both statute and the 14th amendment?"
Jackson Lee concluded by saying she hoped someone would prove her wrong, however, she doesn’t believe she is.
“I hope someone will say that what it appears to be is not in fact accurate,” said Lee. “But historically it seems to be nothing more.”

Democrat Harry Reid Orders A Full Session In Senate It Lasted Only 25-seconds BUT Reid Knew Session Would Count As Full Day Of Work
Senate finishes 25-second session
The Senate completed a 25-second pro forma session just after 11 a.m. on Friday.
Most senators have left for the Independence Day recess but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) ordered the unusual pro forma session in order to keep the clock running.
Reid wants to hold a vote on a resolution to authorize President Obama’s action in Libya, and he needs to accrue some hours.
According to the Senate rules, legislation must percolate for 30 hours before it sees a first vote — unless a unanimous consent agreement can be reached to wave that time frame. Reid tried to get such consent on Thursday, but Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) objected, which started the clock.
Despite the length of Friday’s session, it counts as a full day of work.

Can you imagine working 25 seconds of a work day and getting paid for the whole day. hahaha That has to be a democrat idea.

Threats From Democrat Biden to Union Members: If You Vote Republican, Don't Ask Me For Any Help
Biden to Union Members: If You Vote Republican, Don't Ask Me For Any Help
Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged it wasn’t a political event, but it still didn’t prevent him from sending this warning to Teamsters union members during his address at their annual convention in Las Vegas this past Friday.
“And don’t any of you, by the way, any of you guys vote Republican,” Biden said. “I’m not supposed to say, this isn’t political. . . . don’t come to me if you do! You’re on your own, Jack!”
Biden provided the closing address at the 28th Annual International Brotherhood of Teamsters Convention at the Paris Hotel on Friday. The Vice President, who is known for his straightforward style, didn’t hide his feelings about the current labor union fights across the country. He believes they are under attack by his Republican rivals for no apparent reason.
“Look at Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Florida, Pennsylvania. Did you ever think in 2011 you would be fighting for the right to work for less again?,” said Biden. “What in God’s name did any organized labor union do to the collapse of this economy?. . . [I]t’s bizarre, but that’s the case they’re making.”
Republican governors in several states have sought to curb Union power in an effort to balance their state’s budgets.
Biden also jokingly took a jab at the GOP, suggesting they change their logo.
“Jimmy,” said Biden, referring to Teamsters Union president James R. Hoffa, “your (the Teamsters Union) logo is the horse’s head. Their (GOP) logo should be the other horse’s end.”

Harvard: July 4th Parades Are Right-Wing
Democratic political candidates can skip this weekend's July 4th parades. A new Harvard University study finds that July 4th parades energize only Republicans, turn kids into Republicans, and help to boost the GOP turnout of adults on Election Day.
"Fourth of July celebrations in the United States shape the nation's political landscape by forming beliefs and increasing participation, primarily in favor of the Republican Party," said the report from Harvard.
"The political right has been more successful in appropriating American patriotism and its symbols during the 20th century. Survey evidence also confirms that Republicans consider themselves more patriotic than Democrats. According to this interpretation, there is a political congruence between the patriotism promoted on Fourth of July and the values associated with the Republican party. Fourth of July celebrations in Republican dominated counties may thus be more politically biased events that socialize children into Republicans," write Harvard Kennedy School Assistant Professor David Yanagizawa-Drott and Bocconi University Assistant Professor Andreas Madestam.
Their findings also suggest that Democrats gain nothing from July 4th parades, likely a shocking result for all the Democratic politicians who march in them.
The three key findings of those attending July 4th celebrations:
•When done before the age of 18, it increases the likelihood of a youth identifying as a Republican by at least 2 percent.
•It raises the likelihood that parade watchers will vote for a Republican candidate by 4 percent.
•It boosts the likelihood a reveler will vote by about 1 percent and increases the chances they'll make a political contribution by 3 percent.
What's more, the impact isn't fleeting. "Surprisingly, the estimates show that the impact on political preferences is permanent, with no evidence of the effects depreciating as individuals become older,"said the Harvard report.
Finally, the report suggests that if people are looking for a super-patriotic July 4th, though should head to Republican towns. "Republican adults celebrate Fourth of July more intensively in the first place."

Wild Thing's comment........
Harvard and this study is admitting that the left wing, the Democrat Party and Harvard are all full of traitors.
Well Harvard asked for it and if no leftie speaks out to disagree with this, then we have a nice case of ammo here. A little something to throw back at the left when they claim to be patriotic. America-haters and July 4 do not go together.
Rightwingers usually tend to be Americans who love their country. Leftwingers are freeloaders who are only here for the freebies and government handouts. They are looking for a “cradle to grave” nanny state kind of life.
heh heh the left can have their parades on Halloween.
One day I hope the Lee Miller ( remember his speech at the GOP convention? it was awesome!). Maybe one day people like Lee Miller will see how their democrat party has moved so far to the left it is off the charts. That the progressives have totally taken over!!!!

ABC's George Stephanopoulos Warns Bachmann: Media Will Investigate Your 23 Foster Children
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos said the media plans on investigating all 23 of Michele Bachmann's foster children, tries to get her to say she'd eliminate the minimum wage, tries to stir up trouble between her and Palin, and debates her about the founding fathers and slavery.
Stephanopoulos: Finally one—one final question. I think one of the most impressive things that people find in your background is the fact that you and your husband have helped raise 23 foster children and I know you want to shield them but are they prepared and are you prepared for the loss of privacy that comes with the president campaign? And is that something you are concerned about for them?
Bachmann: Well when we were making this momentous decision we sat down for a long time as a family and contemplated what this was meaning and yes, we are ready. We have five wonderful biological children. Our last one is off to college our oldest one is a doctor. And then we had great – a great 23 foster children in our home as well. And as you can imagine and appreciate we’ve tried to keep a good handle on their privacy and we will do that, we will respect their privacy. We are thankful that we had them but we also want to observe their privacy and that of their families.

Wild Thing's comment........
Notice how he uses the word Media instead of admitting HE will be a part of it being the media as well. Like a threat to her.
He was part of the Clinton attack machine during Clinton’s campaign and later in the White House. Stephanopoulus was Clinton's point man on the politics of personal destruction. It was George who came up with—along with James Carville—the famous “Nuts and Sluts” defense.
Stephanopoulus knows exactly how to take out a person through inuendo, smears, half-truths and lies. It's what he did for Clinton. It was his JOB.
The Palinization of Bachmann is under way. And, whatever they can’t find, they’re create.
He better be careful, there is always that past information about his being a heavy pot user and how his crap would even be in his office at the WH. It was written about in Gary Aldrich book " Unlimited Access". about the Clinton years.
Obama has a history wrapped in mystery, hidden and ignored by the MSM while a decent, honorable woman, a U.S. Representative running for her party's presidential nomination, is going to have the life of every child she lovingly helped raise in a foster care program scrutinized and, God forbid, should anything as small as a parking ticket be found on their record, they will be humiliated and held up to the public as 'proof' that Bachmann is somehow 'unfit'. That person will be subject to national public embarrassment. Why? Because his or her foster mother is a conservative Republican running for the GOP presidential nomination and actually has a shot at winning. Frankly, I wish Michele Bachmann had shown more anger at the idea of the media attempting to scrutinize her foster children on the bogus premise that as the (foster) children of a public figure running for high office, they are now 'fair game'.
What a wonderful job the media is doing as a safeguard of American liberty. Don't investigate the relationship between a presidential candidate and a known domestic terrorist who was on the FBIs most wanted list, but do investigate the emails of one conservative female presidential candidate, and the foster children of another.
The candidates should stop pussy-footing around Obama's hidden past. If one of Bachmann's foster or biological children are dragged through the mud, they should go after Barack Obama and demand to know why the man who wants to be re-elected president of the United States has his college records sealed and demand, incessantly, they be revealed. I believe they'll indicate Obama was registered as a foreign student. I would also like to know who paid for his top-tier education. Certainly not his family. We may never see this information but we need to use the pursuit of it to let the MSM know that 'going after' the children of Republican politicians has to stop. Make the case that Obama has never, ever been subject to the slightest amount of scrutiny by the MSM while they gleefully attempt to 'investigate' private citizens that were once foster children under the care of a Republican presidential nominee contender. Make them answer the glaring question: why?

Count 15 – Guilty – Conspiracy
Count 16 – No verdict
Count 17 – Not Guilty
Count 18 – Guilty – Extortion
Count 19 – Guilty – Extortion
Count 20 – Guilty -Bribery and Conspiracy
Prosecutors have requested that Blago post additional bond. They have also requested that travel restrictions be imposed on the 54 year old former governor. Prosecutors are asking that a prompt sentencing date be scheduled by the court.
He faces up to 300 years in prison, although sentencing guidelines are sure to reduce his time behind bars.
Wild Thing's comment.........
So if Blago is guilty of trying to sell the seat, who is guilty of trying to buy it?
If there is evidence he tried to sell it to someone, there must be evidence of someone buying?
You can’t have one without the other.
And I wonder if he will finally speak up about Rahm and Obama connection to maybe use it as a serve less time. But them maybe not, he might be afraid of the Obama thug machine. Come on Blago.... spill your guts. Rat out the rest of the corrupt Chicago thugs from the top down. Obama had to know his seat was for sale. It’s the Chicago way.

CNN Investigation Reveals Congressional Staffers Received $6.1 Million In Bonuses
CNN Investigation Reveals Congressional Staffers Received $6.1 Million In Bonuses
Despite all the talk of belt-tightening in Washington, CNN’s Lisa Desjardins dug through many Congressional expense reports and discovered up to $6.1 million was paid out in bonuses to Congressional staff members during the beginning of the year, at the height of talks about a potential government shutdown.
In the expense statements, bonuses are included within the broadly defined category of “other compensation.” After confirming with various offices, Desjardins reports the amount of bonuses handed out by Republicans in the time period was $908,000 and for Democrats it was $3.1 million in bonuses, while the remaining amount was awarded by Congressional committees. Some representatives are happy to defend the expenditure like Democratic Congressman Jim Clyburn who said in a statement:
“My staff worked extremely hard . . . including quite a few all-nighters and many weekends . . . and I rewarded them with an end-of-the-year bonus.”
Yet many others were less eager to justify it. Even though Congressional staffers do not earn a high salary to begin with, the idea of taxpayer money being used for discretionary bonuses is sure to rub many people the wrong way.

NY Catholic Bishops Now Expect Efforts 'to Enact Gov't Sanctions Against Churches'
NY Catholic Bishops Now Expect Efforts 'to Enact Gov't Sanctions Against Churches'
By Terence P. Jeffrey
As New York enacted a law late Friday that legalizes same-sex marriage in the state, the Roman Catholic bishops of New York released a statement saying they now expect efforts to enact laws that go after churches that insist on teaching the "timeless truths" about marriage and family.
"We strongly uphold the Catholic Church's clear teaching that we always treat our homosexual brothers and sisters with respect, dignity and love," the bishops said.
"But we just as strongly affirm that marriage is the joining of one man and one woman in a lifelong, loving union that is open to children, ordered for the good of those children and the spouses themselves," the bishops said.
"This definition cannot change, though we realize that our beliefs about the nature of marriage will continue to be ridiculed, and that some will even now attempt to enact government sanctions against churches and religious organizations that preach these timeless truths."
The statement was signed by the bishops of all eight Roman Catholic diocese in the state of New York.
The New York State Senate passed the same-sex marriage bill late Friday and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Catholic, signed the bill into law at 11:55 Friday night. The state assembly has passed the bill the week before. The law will go into effect in 30 days.
The law was enacted just in time for New York City's annual "gay pride" parade, which takes place on Sunday. The parade runs along Fifth Avenue, passing directly in front of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
"The passage by the legislature of a bill to alter radically and forever humanity's historic understanding of marriage leaves us deeply disappointed and troubled," the New York bishops said in their statement.
"We worry that both marriage and the family will be undermined by this tragic presumption of government in passing this legislation that attempts to redefine these cornerstones of civilization," they said.
"Our society must regain what it appears to have lost--a true understanding of the meaning and the place of marriage, as revealed by God, grounded in nature, and respected by America's foundational principles," said the bishops.

Pelosi DEMANDS A Seat At The Table In Final Talks On The Debt-ceiling
Pelosi demands a seat at the table in final talks on the debt-ceiling
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will demand a seat in the table for the final talks on the national debt limit, putting a strong liberal voice in the room.
Pelosi and House Democrats were left out of the negotiations between President Obama and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) last year that extended nearly all of the Bush tax rates though 2012.
Pelosi didn’t participate in the final high-level talks over fiscal 2011 spending levels either.
But now she’s demanding her say at a time when many of her House Democratic colleagues are disappointed in Obama’s level of consultation with their caucus.
“If they don’t have the votes, House Democrats have to be at the table,” said a House Democratic leadership aide.
Pelosi stayed out of the talks on crafting a continuing resolution funding the rest of 2011 that included $38.5 billion in spending cuts because House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) expressed confidence they would pass it without Democratic help.
But, in the end of that debate, the Republican votes fell short, and GOP leaders needed help from House Democrats. Democrats went along with a deal they had almost no part in negotiating because they wanted to avert a government shutdown.
The experience left a bitter taste in their mouths, and Pelosi won’t let it happen again.
Although she is the minority leader in a chamber that gives the minority party few powers, Pelosi believes she has leverage in the debt-limit debate.
“We know that they do not have 218 votes for any package that increases the debt limit,” said the Democratic leadership aide of House Republican leaders.
Flexing her muscle, Pelosi asked for and got a meeting with Obama on Thursday morning to discuss the next phase in the negotiations.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a leader of the Senate Tea Party caucus, warned of this on Friday when he told ABC News that Republicans who voted for a debt-limit increase without massive spending cuts and a balanced budget amendment would lose reelection.
“Based on what I can see around the country … not only are those individuals gone, but I would suspect the Republican Party would be set back many years,” DeMint said.
“It would be the most toxic vote,” he said.
The debt-limit talks that were led by Biden came to an end last week when Cantor pulled out and said it was time for Obama to get involved. Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and James Clyburn (D-S.C.) represented House Democrats in those meetings.
Now the talks have moved to the very highest leadership levels with Obama planning to meet Reid and McConnell on Monday.
The president held a secret meeting with Boehner on Wednesday night.
Pelosi has made it clear that this time she intends be a part of that elite group as well.

Wild Thing's comment........
Pelosi has no leverage. She has no power. Boehner should rub her nose in it.
LOOK at how many times that Prune faced communist locked the Republicans completely out. Then even turned out the lights and power to the microphones.
Tell her ‘We need to pass the bill so you can read what’s in it”! That’s what she said about Obamacare.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY): President Obama ‘Becoming an Absolute Monarch’
During a passionate speech today on the House floor, Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) delivered some surprising remarks while pushing for the House to vote for a measure stripping funding from the war in Libya. According to him, Obama is starting to resemble an “absolute monarch.”
“We have been sliding for 70 years to a situation where Congress has nothing to do with the decision about whether to go to war or not, and the president is becoming an absolute monarch,” he said. “And we must put a stop to that right now, if we don’t want to become an empire instead of a republic.”
“I think that the nation’s credibility, that is to say its promise to go to war as backed by the president, not by the Congress, ought to be damaged,” he added.
“And if foreign countries learn that they cannot depend on American military intervention unless Congress is aboard for the ride, good. That’s a good thing.”
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Dictator is more like it. But I will be happy Nadler said even this much. You know it is BAD when he is scaring his own party……..and one in NY at that! But we need to be careful, he is still a dem and we know his history. He is concerned with his own party and his next election. I bet there’s a lot of “in-fighting” going on among the Dems/WH…a big mess and scared to death of losing in 2012. Probably a lot of them that don’t want Obama to run – want someone else since he’s becoming increasingly unpopular. Of course he‘s right in what he says but it doesn’t mean he really means it or cares.

Senate Democrats Seek NEW ( Another! ) Economic Stimulus
Senate Democrats seek new economic stimulus
Wed Jun 22, 2011
WASHINGTON
Democrats in the Senate on Wednesday called on Vice President Joe Biden to include new economic stimulus spending in deficit-reduction talks as a way of lowering the 9.1 percent jobless rate that is hobbling the economic recovery.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the proposal to the White House, Richard Durbin, the No. 2 Democratic senator, told reporters.
"The Republicans are fixating on the budget deficit and it's a serious problem," Durbin said.
But citing the conclusions of a presidential deficit-cutting commission that he served on last year, Durbin added, "Get the recovery right before you get in this deficit cutting mode ... get people back to work. Let's start moving in that direction."
A senior Democratic aide said the job-creation idea Senate Democrats are now pursuing represented a pivot in the deficit-reduction negotiations.
He said the idea presented to the White House has three components to help create jobs: new infrastructure spending, a payroll tax cut and support for clean energy jobs.
He did not say how large the infrastructure spending proposal would be. In 2009, President Barack Obama won enactment of an $814 billion economic stimulus that Republicans opposed as wasteful spending.
The aide said the White House appeared to support extending the current payroll tax cut for employees, although there has been discussion on Capitol Hill of also expanding that tax cut to employers.
Biden is to return to the Senate on Wednesday for another meeting with the bipartisan group of lawmakers looking for ways to significantly reduce deficits. A deep cut in spending -- in the neighborhood of $4 trillion over a decade -- is a Republican requirement for allowing a vote to increase U.S. borrowing authority that is hitting up against a $14.3 trillion limit.
The group is facing an August 2 deadline for resolving the debt limit problem and thinks that it needs to make some decisions within the next few days in order to give the Senate and House of Representatives enough time to write and pass spending cut and debt limit legislation.
Durbin told reporters he thought that effort could become a "two-step" process containing a "serious down payment on the deficit" followed by more work on long-term savings.
"We're just not going to be able to accomplish (all of) it by August 2," Durbin said.
The Biden group has aimed to raise borrowing authority by enough to get through 2012 and next year's presidential and congressional elections.
"I hope Vice President Biden can get an agreement that takes us through the election. I don't know if he can," Durbin said.

Dems call for stimulus in debt deal as CBO offers warnings
Senate Democrats on Wednesday said stimulus measures should be included in a debt-ceiling deal even as a new Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report shows public debt surging to nearly twice the economy’s size by 2035.
The Fed lowered its outlook on the economy on Wednesday, predicting it would grow between 2.7 and 2.9 percent in 2011, down from an earlier 3.1 to 3.3 percent estimate in April.
Schumer argued Republicans are focusing on the deficit at the peril of the economy, and that infrastructure spending and support for clean energy are other stimulus measures that should be considered by Congress.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) cast the CBO report as evidence that Washington needed to reduce regulatory barriers to business while cutting spending. In a statement, he criticized Democrats for proposing stimulus spending.
The CBO’s outlook presented two possible forecasts, both of which showed the nation’s finances deteriorating over the next quarter-century.

The embattled congressman stepped down today after admitting he sent lewd photos of himself to women he befriended on Facebook and Twitter.
Rep. Anthony Weiner resigned from office Thursday, saying, "Unfortunately, the distraction that I have created" has made it "impossible" to continue his work in Congress.

Congress to Hold Holder in Contempt
Congress to Hold Holder in Contempt
Committee demands documents regarding Operation Fast and Furious
Congressional Investigations Began today on Operation Fast and Furious where in essence the administration is on trial. There have only been twelve occasions where top administration officials have been held in contempt since Watergate. Today the ground work was laid to hold ATF director Kennth Melson and potentially Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for their refusal to hand over documents regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the secret administration program that put thousands of guns into the hands of Mexican cartels while publicly blaming American gun shops and lack of American gun laws.
For months the ATF and DOJ have ignored subpoenas and demand letters and have not turned over a single document. Areas of inquiry have included: How Fast and Furious got started, Communications between the FBI, DOJ and the ATF over the death of border agent Terry who was killed by one of the guns involved, and What the DOJ knew about the operation. The administration has spent OVER $1,000,000 tax payer dollars on project Fast & Furious and Project Gun Runner.
The second phase of the hearing is set for Wednesday where testimonies will be heard.

For sure Holder should be held in Contempt! He has ignored every effort to do what has been asked of him from this investigation.

While Anthony Weiner Awaits Approval For Leave Of Absence, Barack Obama Says: "I Would Resign" If I Was Weiner
Obama told NBC News that if he were in Representative Anthony D. Weiner’s position, “I would resign,” according to a senior network executive.
The president stopped short of specifically demanding that Mr. Weiner resign, saying: “I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign. Because public service is exactly that, it’s a service to the public.”
But he strongly suggested that it was in the best interests of Mr. Weiner and his constituents if the Democratic congressman were to step aside.
He later added: “When you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can’t serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs and their mortgages and paying the bills, then you should probably step back.”

Anthony Weiner Considers Resigning After More Naked Photos Released He Took At House Gym At Rayburn House Office Building
FOX News reported tonight that Rep. Anthony Weiner is now considering resigning following the release of more naked photos of him at the House Gym in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building
.
As a cache of embarrassing new photos appeared Sunday, Rep. Anthony Weiner finally began considering the possibility that he may have to resign.
A source close to the congressman told the Daily News that Weiner had been adamant about keeping his seat – even as the Democratic leadership urged him to quit amid daily new revelations of reckless sexting.
But the unrelenting media coverage, the demands from his party's leaders that he step down and the appearance of more humiliating photos made Weiner realize he may not be able to bull his way through the crisis after all, the source said.
TMZ published a new slew of squirm-inducing self-portraits, apparently taken in the House gym - some clothed, some not.
Several show Weiner showing off his naked body holding only his camera and his privates. In others, he is clothed or draped in a white towel, flexing his muscles as he holds a camera up to his reflection in a locker room mirror.
TMZ said the photos were sent online to at least one woman and said the House gym venue raises new questions about his use of congressional resources for his salacious cybering.

Brooklyn/Queens N.O.W. President Supports Weiner
The head of the Brooklyn/Queens chapter of the National Organization for Women said she could separate Weiner's sexcapades from the liberal track record that earned the group's support.
"I wasn't happy to discover that my congressman is a 14-year-old boy," said Julie Kirshner, president of the NOW chapter.
"But he happens to be one of the best politicians out there, so we're in a bad position. We're trying to give him the benefit of the doubt."

Defiant Democrat Poster Boy Anthony Weiner Won't Resign, Ignores Calls From Pelosi, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz, and Other Dems Telling Him To Resign
From yesterday.....we will see if they change their mind again. ~ Wild Thing
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D-FL) and fellow New York Representative Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee all called on embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) to resign today. The move is a complete reversal of Pelosi’s position from just twenty four hours ago.
.
Defiant Weiner won't resign, seeks 'treatment'
A defiant Rep. Anthony Weiner will not resign and will instead seek treatment even as a the top leaders of the Democratic Party abandoned him en masse Saturday after it was revealed that he had communicated online with a 17-year-old Delaware girl.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the party’s top campaign chiefs — Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.) — all called on Weiner to resign in statements released within minutes of each other.
But Weiner has ignored those calls and announced Saturday afternoon that he’s seeking “professional treatment.”
“Congressman Weiner departed this morning to seek professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person,” Weiner’s office said in a statement provided to POLITICO. “In light of that, he will request a short leave of absence from the House of Representatives so that he can get evaluated and map out a course of treatment to make himself well. Congressman Weiner takes the views of his colleagues very seriously and has determined that he needs this time to get healthy and make the best decision possible for himself, his family and his constituents.”
Weiner, a New York Democrat, admitted on Monday that he had sent sexually charged text messages and photographs to a series of six women over three years. On Friday, FOX News reported that Wilmington-area police had visited a Delaware teenager to discuss his back-and-forth with her.
Weiner and the girl’s family have told news outlets that there was no indecent communication, but the evidence that he carried on a discussion of any kind with a 17-year-old girl was clearly the final straw for Democratic leaders.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
I think they migiht be worried about minors that might be involved with Weiner.
What’s interesting about the timeline is that he seems to have told the DNC that he was seeking treatment, THEN they asked him to resign.

Wisconsin Union Thugs Disrupt Special Olympics Ceremony and Blocking Athletes' View ~ Beyond Disgusting!!!!
On Wednesday June 8th, in Madison, protesters picketed and disrupted the Governor's appearance at a Special Olympics ceremony outside the State Capitol.
As the event kicked off, the University of Wisconsin marching band played and Bucky Badger danced and hammed it up with the Olympians.
Interspersed throughout the crowd were dozens of pro-union protesters.
The picketers were present throughout the event, including some holding signs with questionable language.
Then, as the Governor began to address the Special Olympians, more than a dozen protesters, dressed as Zombies, because in their eyes they are "dead" to Scott Walker, walked to the front of the crowd. They blocked the athletes' view of the Governor in an attempt to divert attention away from the Special Olympians on onto themselves.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
I would also bet that many of the Special Olympics Athletes' were afraid when they saw this happening.
Those thugs doing this horrible thing to disrupt have NO hearts or souls!!!

Some "Comic" Named Chris Titus Threatens Life of Sarah Palin If She Is Elected
Comic Chris Titus hints at assassinating Palin ‘if she gets elected president’
Sometimes there is a line that is crossed between what appropriate for comedy and what’s likely off limits. But did comic Christopher Titus cross that line?
In an appearance on Monday’s “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast, Titus may have waded into that territory. In responding to a question about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” in which Palin defended her interpretation of what happened during Paul Revere’s pre-Revolutionary War famous ride, Titus launched into a description of what he would do if Palin were elected.
“You know what man?” Titus said. “I am going to literally — if she gets elected president, I am going to hang out on the grassy knoll all the time, just loaded and ready — because you know what? It’s for my country. It’s for my country. If I got to sacrifice myself, it’s for my country.”

I never heard of this guy before. But that does not matter, what does matter is this person should be taken seriously by the FBI. This is an out and out threat and it is NOT funny.
At The Daily Caller they title this that he " HINTS" at what he said ,but read it again.

By Any Other Name Thy Name Is Weiner....Possibly Broke House Ethics Rules
At a Sheraton Hotel in New York City where Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner had scheduled a press conference for 4 PM ET. Before Weiner could come out to the press, Andrew Breitbart was seen in the back of the room, and the press urged him to go to the podium to answer questions. Breitbart took the platform and answered several questions about the photos of Anthony Weiner he has been releasing throughout the day today – one of them showing Weiner barechested, which Weiner had allegedly sent to a woman. Breitbart said he also had a very explicit photo, which he is holding back for the sake of Weiner’s family. He said he felt Weiner owed him an apology for claiming his Twitter account was “hacked” when the first information came out from Breitbart about the scandal several days ago. Breitbart then left the podium. The video above shows Breitbart answering questions from the media.
“Everything that I’ve said so far has come to be true. I’d like to hear one… The media says “Breitbart lies, Breitbart lies, Breitbart lies.” Give me one example of a provable lie. One. One. ONE. Journalists, One! Put your reputation on the line here. One provable lie. Do you know what I’d be accused of if I released this photo. I’m doing this to save his family, OK? And if this guy wants to start fighting with me again, I have this photo. But, I’m not doing this for nefarious purposes. I’d like an apology from him for allowing for his political protectors. This was his strategy was to blame me. To blame me for hacking. Oh, don’t worry Breitbart’s our regular whipping boy. We can accuse him of anything and the press will not hold those journalists to account no matter what they say. And, so I’m here for some vindication.“
.
Right after that Anthony Weiner went to the podium and admitted to taking and sending the photos to a number of women over the past several years – including since he got married.
“I am deeply regretting what I have done and I am not resigning.”
.
Then Weiner admits to X-Rated Photo held by Andrew Breitbart

Nancy Pelosi calls for Anthony Weiner ethics inquiry
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Rep. Steve Israel, the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, have called for an investigation into Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) over the series of sexually explicit conversations and lewd photos he exchanged with a half-dozen women during the last several years.
“I am deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation; for Anthony’s wife, Huma, his family, his staff and his constituents,” Pelosi said in a statement released on Monday night. “I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”
.
FOX News last night reported that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) likely broke ethics rules.
One of the young women he was calling said he used his office phone all the time.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is all so disgusting. I just don't understand this sex texting stuff at all.
He was or still is planning on running for Gov. of New York.
Kennedy got away with murder, so we will see what happens with this guy. Like they said on Fox he used the phone in his office and that would be something that might be enough that Pelosi etc. would have to tell him to step down.

Jose Guereña Survived Two Tours in Iraq Then Murdered By ( Democrat) Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik Swat Team Fires 71 Shots At Hitting Him 60 Times
SWAT Raid Video From Helmet Cam
Seventy-One Shots: The Death of Jose Guereña
Jose Guereña survived two tours in Iraq, but he couldn't survive his own government.
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik infamously railed in January of this year that Arizona is a “Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”
One must wonder if the “prejudice and bigotry” he considers endemic to Arizona is to blame for the death of U.S. Marine veteran Jose Guereña, killed when Dupnik’s deputies gunned him down in his home. They fired 71 shots. They hit him 60 times. And then, as if this wasn’t enough, Dupnik’s deputies blocked paramedics for an hour and 14 minutes from approaching the scene, denying Guereña treatment until he was assuredly dead.
Dupnik’s SWAT team initially claimed that Guereña fired at them while they were serving a warrant — as he slept. They claimed that his bullets hit the bulletproof shield that the entry team hid behind, and that the barrage of bullets they fired back was in self-defense.
Only, Guereña never fired his weapon. Awoken by his wife with screams that men with guns were invading his home and threatening his family, Jose Guereña armed himself with a AR-15 rifle and crouched in the hallway. The SWAT team unloaded upon Guereña on sight. He apparently recognized the home invaders as police. He took 60 rounds, but never — as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department was forced to admit — took off his weapon’s safety as he was being killed.
Prejudice and bigotry?
It was, you’ll recall, a claim Dupnik made in the wake of Jared Loughner’s bloodly rampage at a “Congress in your Corner” event at a Safeway supermarket in Tucson, where six were killed and 14 others were injured — including, gravely, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Dupnik was attempting to blame the conservative Tea Party movement for the shooting when he made the comment. And even after it was revealed that Loughner’s few known political views had been described as “quite liberal,” and were in fact muddled at best, he refused to retract his slur.
So when Dupnik’s teams attempted a complicated four-house raid of minority families looking for drugs, perhaps bigotry and prejudice really was in play.
Perhaps Dupnik’s officers assumed every Hispanic accused of being a drug dealer really was one, and perhaps they assumed that the tenant of a home protecting his loved ones must be a bloodthirsty cartel member waiting in ambush. Is that why they gunned down a tired, hard-working father sleeping off a night shift at the local copper mine? A Marine veteran of Iraq that had the discipline not to fire — a discipline that a trigger-happy SWAT team which has now killed three men in less than a year cannot itself exercise?
Not only has the Pima Sheriff’s Department tried to justify firing 71 shots at one man in a small hallway, hitting him (thankfully, just him) 60 times in a home where his wife and child were present. They’ve attempted to justify their refusal to let a team of paramedics treat Guereña, who was still miraculously alive after being sprayed mercilessly with bullets. It takes a competent SWAT team just a handful of minutes to “clear” a residential home during a raid. Dupnik’s SWAT team refused to declare the scene “clear” for an agonizing one hour and 14 minutes, and not until Jose Guereña had already died.
A cynic might be tempted to suggest Dupnik’s SWAT team was waiting for the only witness to their assault to die. Considering how the Sheriff’s Department has acted since they stormed the home, a rational person might be tempted to agree.
Not content to blame the victim for his own death, they attempted to insinuate he was a drug dealer, even though they were forced to admit under direct questioning that no drugs were found in his home, and that a clumsy cop falling down may have triggered the bloodbath.
Vanessa Guereña claims that neither she nor her husband heard the officers announce themselves as police. As anyone who has ever seen an episode of any popular police reality show knows, no entry team waits 15 seconds after announcing themselves to batter down a door and rush the inhabitants — as Pima County Lt. Michael O’Connor claims his SWAT team did. Identical scenes of immediate entry upon announcement (or after breaching), without giving those inside a chance to react, is a standard tactic captured again and again.
Why Lt. Michael O’Connor decided to tell a mistruth about a well-known, heavily documented, and highly standardized technique isn’t immediately clear. Perhaps it is because of the inevitable wrongful death lawsuit to be filed against the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on behalf of Vanessa Guereña and her two children. Or perhaps it is because of the possible DOJ civil rights investigation. Perhaps Dupnik’s employees simply are unable to act any more professionally after a raid than they do during one.
No-knock warrants are typically used to surprise the target of raids and keep them from disposing of evidence, with possible violence from the offender cited as justification for the military-style use of heavy armor and machine guns.
Jose Guereña’s death was entirely preventable. Over-armed, over-amped law enforcement is causing far more harm to the public than other tactics and techniques possibly could.
The over-militarization of law enforcement agencies and over-use of SWAT teams is an idea that needs to be revisited in a sane society. Too many good people have been traumatized, and too many killed, under the flimsiest of circumstances.
After surviving two tours of duty in Iraq, only to lose his life in an encounter with Clarence Dupnik’s keystone cops, Jose Guereña was buried with full military honors.

This incident is a national disgrace.
Do the terrorists know where this prick Sheriff Clarence Dupnik lives?? Just wondering! He seems to be working with them to take out our troops!!!
"Dupnik’s deputies blocked paramedics for an hour and 14 minutes from approaching the scene, denying Guereña treatment until he was assuredly dead."
I can see no conceivable reason for this other than to insure that dead men tell no tales. This sounds like an execution.

Former Clinton Campaign Adviser Walks Off FOX News Set Amid Heated Debate
Former President Bill Clinton expressed modest approval for Rep. Paul Ryan’s attempt to reform Medicare as a step in the right direction. But backstage, Clinton’s comments were less tempered when speaking with Ryan directly.
Bill Clinton and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-W) chatting candidly. The two met backstage at the Pete Peterson Foundation forum (a national debt conference). Both politicians were extremely open and friendly.
While Clinton shared his enthusiasm over his party’s NY-26 victory, he said, “I hope Democrats don’t use this as an excuse to do nothing.” The conversation ended with Clinton offering to speak further with Ryan via telephone.
Watch the fiery debate that got a little too-hot-to-handle for former Clinton campaign adviser Simon Rosenberg when he went head-to-head with radio host Ben Ferguson.

Jared Loughner Found Incompetent To Stand Trial ~ Judge Makes EPIC Bad Judgement!
Loughner found incompetent to stand trial
Jared Loughner is incompetent to stand trial, a federal judge decided today.
A psychologist and psychiatrist both found Loughner unable to help in his own defense or understand the proceedings.
Doctors say he is schizophrenic.
U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns said doctors report Loughner is unable to help with his defense because of his irrational distrust of lawyers.
He doesn’t understand the system and the role played by everyone, doctors said in their reports.
Loughner doesn’t think he can get a fair trial because of a conspiracy, the judge was told by doctors.
He will be hospitalized for no more than four months to see if he can be restored to competency.
The evaluators found that Loughner, 22, had been developing serious mental illness for the past two to three years. Hearing this, his parents sobbed.
Loughner was removed from the court hearing earlier after an outburst.
It was difficult to understand his first sentence, but some people heard him say “Thank you for the freak show.” Others heard him saying thank you for the free pill or kill.
But then he said: “She died in front of me.” It was unclear who he was referring to.
Loughner then shouted “You’re treasonous!” Two deputy marshals grabbed him and hustled him out a side door.
After being asked by the judge if he wanted to remain in the courtroom or watch the proceedings on TV, Loughner said he wanted to watch it on TV.

The judge is the one who is incompetent.
Jared Loughner was competent enough to pull the trigger ~ I say death penalty.
Remember the ending of "10 to Midnight" starring Charlie Bronson, when the killer who was released pending the outcome of his insanity plea, "I'm sick, you can't do anything to me, you'll hear from me again...you and the whole f'ing world."

MSNBC Ed Schultz Apologizes To Laura Ingraham
Ed Schultz apologizing tonight on his MSNBC program for what he called “vile” comments he made about conservative Laura Ingraham on his radio program this week. Schultz called Ingraham a “talk slut.”
A clearly shaken Schultz said he had “embarrassed himself” and his family, and said he tried to call Laura Ingraham today and apologize to her personally, but was unable to make contact with her.
Schultz said he has offered to take himself off the air at MSNBC for a period of time to make amends.
.
Here is what he had said about Laura:
"Rain, thunderstorms, winds getting whipped into tornadoes of horrific proportions. Hot weather, all of this stuff. And what are the Republicans thinking about? They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Missouri, on Sunday. But you know what they’re talking about? Like this right-wing slut, what’s her name, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over."
Finally the other shoe dropped on the Ed Schultz controversy on Wednesday.
In a release from MSNBC management, the network announced it would suspend Schultz for one week without pay for remarks he made on his Tuesday radio show calling conservative talker Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” However, Schultz will be permitted to address the remarks on his Wednesday television show with the suspension beginning immediately afterwards:
“MSNBC management met with Ed Schultz this afternoon and accepted his offer to take one week of unpaid leave for the remarks he made yesterday on his radio program. Ed will address these remarks on his show tonight, and immediately following begin his leave. Remarks of this nature are unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” the statement reads.
On his Tuesday radio program, Schultz took a shot at conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham for her criticism of President Barack Obama’s trip to Ireland, where he enjoyed a Guinness, while the Midwestern United States was being hit by severe weather.
“And what do the Republicans thinking about?” Schultz said. “They’re not thinking about their next-door neighbor. They’re just thinking about how much this is going to cost. President Obama is going to be visiting Joplin, Mo., on Sunday but you know what they’re talking about, like this right-wing slut, what’s her name?, Laura Ingraham? Yeah, she’s a talk slut. You see, she was, back in the day, praising President Reagan when he was drinking a beer overseas. But now that Obama’s doing it, they’re working him over.”
A watchdog group called for the suspension of Schultz earlier in the day. However, Ingraham dismissed Schultz’s comments in a Facebook posting earlier in the day.

UNIONS Threaten Obama: Do More For Us Or We'll Pull Funding
The nation‘s largest labor federation is weighing whether to pull political support from congressional Democrats who aren’t doing enough to back labor unions.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is expected to issue the warning in a speech Friday at the National Press Club.
The AFL-CIO’s executive council is considering a plan that could spend less on congressional races and more on fighting state battles like those in Wisconsin and Ohio, where lawmakers want to weaken collective bargaining rights and reduce union clout.

RINO John McCain Devoted Fan Of Obama Says "said "waterboarding did not help get bin Laden amounted to a mock execution”
“It was not torture, or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find Osama bin Laden,” McCain said in a stirring 22-minute speech from the Senate floor.
McCain called the techniques -- implemented by CIA interrogators during the George W. Bush administration and later barred by President Obama -- “indisputably torture,” and said waterboarding amounted to a “mock execution.”
“I do not believe they are necessary to our success in our war against terrorists, as the advocates of these techniques claim they are,” he said
Then he also write about his opinion in the Washington Post. You know just to make sure the entire world hears his BS and lies. ~ Wild Thing
Bin Laden’s death and the debate over torture
by John McCain
Former attorney general Michael Mukasey recently claimed that “the intelligence that led to bin Laden . . . began with a disclosure from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who broke like a dam under the pressure of harsh interrogation techniques that included waterboarding. He loosed a torrent of information — including eventually the nickname of a trusted courier of bin Laden.” That is false.
I asked CIA Director Leon Panetta for the facts, and he told me the following: The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheik Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. The first mention of Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti — the nickname of the al-Qaeda courier who ultimately led us to bin Laden — as well as a description of him as an important member of al-Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country, who we believe was not tortured. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmed’s real name, his whereabouts or an accurate description of his role in al-Qaeda.
In fact, the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” on Khalid Sheik Mohammed produced false and misleading information. He specifically told his interrogators that Abu Ahmed had moved to Peshawar, got married and ceased his role as an al-Qaeda facilitator — none of which was true. According to the staff of the Senate intelligence committee, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee — information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s real role in al-Qaeda and his true relationship to bin Laden — was obtained through standard, noncoercive means.
I know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners sometimes produces good intelligence but often produces bad intelligence because under torture a person will say anything he thinks his captors want to hear — true or false — if he believes it will relieve his suffering. Often, information provided to stop the torture is deliberately misleading.
Mistreatment of enemy prisoners endangers our own troops, who might someday be held captive. While some enemies, and al-Qaeda surely, will never be bound by the principle of reciprocity, we should have concern for those Americans captured by more conventional enemies, if not in this war then in the next.
Though it took a decade to find bin Laden, there is one consolation for his long evasion of justice: He lived long enough to witness what some are calling the Arab Spring, the complete repudiation of his violent ideology.
As we debate how the United States can best influence the course of the Arab Spring, can’t we all agree that the most obvious thing we can do is stand as an example of a nation that holds an individual’s human rights as superior to the will of the majority or the wishes of government? Individuals might forfeit their life as punishment for breaking laws, but even then, as recognized in our Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, they are still entitled to respect for their basic human dignity, even if they have denied that respect to others.
All of these arguments have the force of right, but they are beside the most important point. Ultimately, this is more than a utilitarian debate. This is a moral debate. It is about who we are.
I don’t mourn the loss of any terrorist’s life. What I do mourn is what we lose when by official policy or official neglect we confuse or encourage those who fight this war for us to forget that best sense of ourselves. Through the violence, chaos and heartache of war, through deprivation and cruelty and loss, we are always Americans, and different, stronger and better than those who would destroy us.

John Kerry Heads To Pakistan To Soothe Obama's Fellow Muslims Over bin Laden
Kerry heads for Pakistan to soothe fury over bin Laden raid
ISLAMABAD
Senator John Kerry will travel to Pakistan in coming days to put relations "on the right track" after the killing of Osama bin Laden in a surprise Navy SEALs raid, but he is likely to face fury from the army over what it sees as a breach of trust.
Kerry, a Democrat who is close to the Obama administration, said he expected to see "all the main players" in Pakistan to discuss strains in bilateral ties following the May 2 operation that killed the al Qaeda leader in his Pakistani hideout.
"A number of people suggested it would be good to get a dialogue going about the aftermath and how we get on the right track," Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told reporters in Washington.
Co-author of a 2009 bill that tripled non-military aid to Islamabad, Kerry is seen as a friend of the country, but he is likely to face the wrath of the powerful security establishment which has been embarrassed by the unilateral U.S. action on Pakistani soil.
A senior Pakistani security official said the operation had left the army and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency -- which has a long history of contacts with militants -- "discredited in the eyes of the public."
"We are very angry about this breach of trust," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The space for cooperating with the Americans on military and intelligence operations has been shrunk because of this incident."
Pakistani cooperation is crucial for Washington's efforts to combat Islamist militants and bring stability to Afghanistan, and the U.S. administration appears keen to contain the fallout.
"WE WOULDN'T BE SO NAIVE"
Nevertheless, U.S. lawmakers have questioned whether Pakistan is serious about fighting militants in the region after bin Laden was found living in a house just a few minutes' walk from the country's main military academy. Some have called for a suspension in U.S. aid to Islamabad.
Pakistan rejects allegations that it was either incompetent in tracking down the man behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States or complicit in hiding him in the town of Abbottabad just 50 km (30 miles) from Islamabad.
"We wouldn't be naive enough to be complicit in this affair. We would be risking not only the future of our country, but also the future of our children," the official said, adding that if there was a support network protecting bin Laden it did not come from within Pakistan's security establishment.
Kerry has travelled to Pakistan before to try to tamp down crises. He was there in February to try to win the release of Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor and former U.S. special forces member who shot dead two Pakistanis in the city of Lahore.
Davis, who said he acted in self defense, was freed in March after "blood money" -- compensation to the families of those killed -- was paid, Pakistani and U.S. officials said.
"STEALTH" HELICOPTER REMAINS
The United States is hoping to question the three wives of bin Laden who were left in the Abbottabad compound after U.S. raid and are now being detained, although Pakistani officials played down the possibility of any speedy access.
U.S. investigators, who have been sifting through a huge stash of material seized during the operation, believe the wives could help them trace bin Laden's movements and his network.
ABC News quoted Pakistani officials as saying that they were interested in studying the remains of a U.S. helicopter that crashed during the Navy SEALs' raid, which experts believe was a version of the Blackhawk modified with stealth features.
One official told the network that China, an ally of Pakistan, was interested in examining the remains of the helicopter and another said "We might let them take a look."
Pakistan says bin Laden's death is an important step in the fight against militancy but it is angry that it was not informed about it and that U.S. forces violated its sovereignty when they swooped in on helicopters from Afghanistan.
Current and former U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the United States repeatedly told Pakistan that Washington would send American forces into that country if it had evidence bin Laden was hiding there.

Let's all say it together..... He was in Vietnam.
Good grief! Sending Kerry to soothe things is like Don Corleone sending Fredo to calm down a rival family head. Really more of an insult than a friendly gesture.
Pakistan needs to soothe US not the other way around. Kerry is always taking the side against America.
Maybe he's planning to throw some medals over the ben Laden compound wall??

Jesse Jackson Subject of Gay Harassment Complaint
Jackson Subject of Gay Harassment Complaint
"Complaint" " is not a lawsuit against Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr
by BJ Lutz
A former employee of the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. at the Rainbow Push Coalition has filed a bombshell wrongful termination and discrimination complaint against the civil rights leader with the City of Chicago’s Commission on Human Rights.
The complaint, filed sometime last year by Tommy R. Bennett, a regular on the Tom Joyner Radio show and member of Barack Obama’s LGBT Leadership Council, includes shocking details about Jackson’s behavior toward the openly gay staffer including a suggestion that the civil rights leader may have propositioned him.
Jackson has denied the allegations in a legal response that was filed in July 2010 and resurfaced when the Windy City Times published a story Tuesday.
Bennett, 55, claims Jackson ridiculed him in front of other employees and required him to perform “humiliating tasks” like escorting women to Jackson’s various hotel rooms, cleaning up after alleged trysts and packing his clothing. It also includes a suggestion that Jackson may have asked for oral sex.
Jackson could not be reached for comment after multiple attempts by NBCChicago, but his legal representatives did respond to the complaint in July. Bennett also has not commented to NBCChicago. (Read a .PDF version of the complaint here and the Jackson legal response here, both of which were obtained by theGrio.com)
Bennett worked for the Rainbow PUSH Coalition for more than two years as the National Director of Community Affairs. The complaint states that Bennett endured a string of discriminatory treatment from multiple supervisors, but his protests were met with deaf ears.
In 2008, Bennett assumed the duties of Jackson’s travel assistant.
In that capacity, Bennett alleges to “clean his [hotel] room after sexual intercourse with women.”
Bennett's complaint requests back and front pay, compensation for emotional distress and punitive damages all to the tune of roughly $450,000. Bennett also wants an amendment to the civil rights organization's non-discrimination policy to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Jackson, a former presidential candidate, has been married to his wife, Jacqueline Lavinia Brown, since 1962, but has had bouts with infidelity. One affair with a staffer resulted in the birth of a girl in 1999.
He has five children with Brown, including Jesse Jackson, Jr., who represents Illinois' 2nd District in the United States House of Representatives.

Oh no and we all had such tremendous respect for the Rev. Jesssseeeee Jackson.....NOT.
Now we will probably here how it is a right wing conspiracy or something.
Plus, the writer of the articles name is "BJ" - hahahahahaha ( sorry could not help it. )
I recall that Jackson dissed obozo. Wonder if this is pay back?
If it is true Jackson won't be punished for any of this. The left hardly ever gets truly punished.

The Truth About Those Budget Cuts ~ $14.7 Billion in Actual Cuts Not $ 38.5
.
The meat of the spending deal struck between the two parties late Friday night was revealed in a legislative omnibus released early Tuesday morning. The specifics show that finding nearly $40 billion in cuts during the 2011 fiscal year required clever accounting and, for the White House, a willingness to concede on rhetoric to find gains on substance.
For example, the final cuts in the deal are advertised as $38.5 billion less than was appropriated in 2010, but after removing rescissions, cuts to reserve funds, and reductions in mandatory spending programs, discretionary spending will be reduced only by $14.7 billion.
White House officials said throughout the process that the composition of the cuts was more important than the top-line number, and that including mandatory cuts allowed that top line to grow while limiting the immediate impact of the cuts.
The move also keeps the 2011 discretionary baseline slightly higher, a terrain advantage for the Democrats heading into the 2012 spending process.
Republican press releases are pointing out that the deal eliminates four White House policy “czars,” but those positions had already been phased out by the White House — the health care policy director after Obama’s health care plan became law, and the “auto czar” following the government restructuring of General Motors and Chrysler.
Despite finding common ground on many cuts, Republicans say the bill sets the stage for further cuts in a vote to raise the government’s borrowing limit and in 2012 spending, shifting the conversation in Washington.
Still, the GOP collected its pound(s) of flesh from the $1.3 trillion federal budget and Obama’s priorities: $1.6 billion in reductions at the Environmental Protection Agency, though that is nearly half what the House asked for in February; nearly a billion from drinking water funds at the Department of the Interior; $2.9 billion in high-speed rail money, and hundreds of millions in public housing funds, among other savings.

Calif. Teachers Federation Endorses Convicted ‘Cop Killer’ Mumia Abu-Jamal ~ Teachers Have Become Violent and Radical Enemies Of Our Country
On December 9, 1981, at approximately 3:55 a.m., Officer Danny Faulkner, a five year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department, made a traffic stop at Locust Street near Twelfth Street. The car stopped by Officer Faulkner was being driven by William Cook. After making the stop, Danny called for assistance on his police radio and requested a police wagon to transport a prisoner. Unbeknownst to him, William Cook’s brother, Wesley (aka Mumia Abu-Jamal) was across the street.
As Danny attempted to handcuff William Cook, Mumia Abu-Jamal ran from across the street and shot the officer in the back. Danny turned and was able to fire one shot that struck Abu-Jamal in the chest; the wounded officer then fell to the pavement. Mumia Abu-Jamal stood over the downed officer and shot him four more times at close range, once directly in the face. Mumia Abu-Jamal was found still at the scene of the shooting by officers who arrived there within seconds. The murderer was slumped against the curb in front of his brother’s car. In his possession was a .38 caliber revolver that records showed Mumia had purchased months earlier. The chamber of the gun had five spent cartridges.
A cab driver, as well as other pedestrians, had witnessed the brutal slaying and identified Mumia Abu-Jamal as the killer both at the scene and during his trial. On July 2, 1982, after being tried before a jury of ten whites and two blacks, Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted of murdering Officer Danny Faulkner. The next day, the jury sentenced him to death after deliberating for two hours. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania heard the defendant’s appeals and upheld the conviction on March 6, 1989.
.
Calif. Teachers Federation Endorses Convicted ‘Cop Killer’
The California Federation of Teachers — a branch of the AFL-CIO — has adopted a resolution at its annual conference supporting convicted cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Daily Caller reports.
From TheDC, which notes that Abu-Jamal is now being called a “journalist:”
Among the resolutions largely pertaining to education and collective bargaining rights was Resolution 19 – to “Reaffirm support for death row journalist.”
“Therefore, be it resolved, that the California Federation of Teachers reaffirm its support and demand that the courts consider the evidence of innocence of Mumia Abu-Jamal,” the Committee Report reads.
Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former member of the Black Panther Party, was convicted of shooting, multiple times, Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. He reportedly confessed to the crime and was given the death penalty.
Instead of recognizing Abu-Jamal’s conviction, the federation believes he is innocent and a civil rights hero.
“Mumia Abu-Jamal has for decades as a journalist fought courageously against racism and police brutality and for the human rights of all people and has taken strong stands in support of working people involved in labor struggles and in support of well-funded, quality, public education,” the resolution reads.
But not everyone is convinced.
“Somebody should tell the California Teachers Federation that this is over, he is in jail, he is going to stay there,” Daniel Flynn, author of “Cop killer: How Mumia Abu-Jamal conned millions into believing he was framed, told TheDC. “You have numerous eyewitnesses saying Mumia did it. You had ballistic evidence – Mumia’s gun at the scene was consistent with the bullet used to kill Faulkner. Mumia admitted after the fact that he did it.”
That doesn’t matter to the CFT. “The delegates decided it was time to reiterate that they supported him due to the irregularities that they felt had taken place during his case,” a spokesman for the organization told TheDC. He went on to say that the CFT takes positions on a variety of “social matters.”
Former Green Jobs Czar Van Jones is also an Abu-Jamal supporter.

LMAO Is Mass. Democrat Rep. Ed Markey On Drugs Or Just Nuts??!! No, He is a Typical Dem. Politician
Democrat Rep. Ed Markey rants against the GOP, accusing them of polluting and trying to pass legislation to help “destroy the whole wide world.”
According to Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey, Republicans are out to shut down the Internet and destroy the entire planet.
A video posted at The Blaze shows the liberal Democrat making his outrageous charges on Saturday - one day after Congressional leaders avoided a shutdown of the federal government.
"Republicans are trying to pass legislation destroying the World Wide Web," Markey whined, adding "and they're also trying to pass legislation to help destroy the whole wide world."
According to Markey, the GOP is taking aim at Google Earth, and seeks to pollute the entire planet.
"They are trying to mess with the blogosphere and pollute the atmosphere at the same time," Markey said.
In Markey's worldview, the vote to prevent a takeover of the Internet by the FCC will somehow "clog" and destroy the internet.
But silly comments and demagoguery are nothing new for Markey.
During the debate over funding for NPR and PBS, Markey held a press conference using Arthur the Aardvark - the popular PBS children's character - in an effort to demagogue the budget issue:
As Congresswoman Betty McCollum clung to an Elmo doll, Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) beckoned Arthur the Aardvark to join him in a press conference calling on Republicans to continue funding the taxpayer-subsidized NPR.
"Come over here Arthur,” he said.
“We need your help today,” he told a person dressed as the PBS character. “We can’t leave Arthur and all of his pals in the lurch.”

DEMOCRAT Jim Moran to Veteran: Sit Down or Leave
At a town hall meeting the other day, a man who identified himself as a 27-year veteran takes exception to Democrat Rep. Jim Moran’s characterization of his question as “caustic.” Moran angrily responded, “I’m sure you do” and then proceeded to order the 27-year veteran to “sit down” or “leave.”
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) held a town hall meeting on April 7 about the possibility of a government shutdown. During the event, a veteran stood up and questioned him why he isn’t in Congress right now working out a deal so the troops can get funding. Moran began answering the mans questioned then got testy and told him to sit down or leave.
Moran has a history of anger issues. For example, in 2000 Moran stooped as low to accuse an 8-year boy, who was a straight-A student, of trying to steal his car. During the incident, Moran began choking and cursing at him. He later said the boy claimed he had a gun on him. He didn’t. The child also told the police he was just admiring his car.

Baby Killers Planned Parenthood Spent More Than $1 Million Electing Democrats Last Cycle ~ Defund Planned Parenthood now!
Investigation of medical lies and manipulation at Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin
And this is the sort of routine counseling going on at Planned Parenthood.
Here’s something to keep in mind as Democrats risk a government shutdown in order to preserve federal subsidies of Planned Parenthood. From the Center for Responsive Politics:
In 2010, Planned Parenthood and a California affiliate together spent more than $700,000 on federal lobbying efforts, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal lobbying records finds. By comparison, all other organizations that primarily advocate for abortion rights collectively spent $247,280 on federal lobbying efforts during the same period, according to the Center’s research.
Planned Parenthood’s political influence efforts hardly stop at lobbying.
The organization’s political action committee, for example, donated more than $148,000 to federal candidates — almost all Democrats — during the 2010 election cycle. The PAC spent more than $443,000 overall.
Planned Parenthood also recorded $905,796 in independent expenditures during the 2010 cycle — money spent in support of, or in opposition to, federal political candidates, largely through advertisements. The top beneficiaries of this money were Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.).
Source: Live Action
In the year 2007, Planned Parenthood made only 4,912 adoption referrals yet performed 305,310 abortions.
And that doesn't include the 1,423,365 emergency contraception kits (would that include both Plan B and RU-486?) that PP issued in 2007 -- additional abortions, regardless of the semantics.

What A Total Disgrace This Man Is ~ AWOL Indiana Democrat Rep. Dave Cheatham Equates Fleeing State to Serving in Afghanistan
Indiana Democrat Rep. Dave Cheatham equates his fleeing from the state, and refusing to do the job he was elected to do, to a serviceman leaving the country to serve in Afghanistan.
Indiana State Representative Dave Cheetham (D) not only found a way to recently compare his caucus’s running away to Illinois to avoid a vote on an anti-union bill to soldiers serving in Afghanistan, but he also found a way to invoke the children:
CHEATHAM: The thing that sticks in my mind, I guess, more than anything else — and this is something that has happened. My wife teaches first grade. This past week, one of the kids in her class, a little first grader’s dad is getting sent to Afghanistan. And he was really sad. And she said, ‘Eell, you know, your dad is doing something really good. He’s going to a country where people there are trying to take away the freedoms of other people there, keep them from living a good life. So he’s leaving to do something good.’ And one of the little girls in class just on her own — and this has never been talked about in class, because my wife doesn’t do that — said, ‘It’s kind of like Mr. Cheatham, he left to make our schools better.’ And when I heard that, that gave me a reason —” (drowned out by applause.)

Joe Biden's Staff Lock Journalist In Closet For Hours During A Fundraiser To Stop Him Talking To Guests ~ Guests Disgusted After Finding Out!
Powers snapped this image of the closet in which he was held and posted it online
Freedom of the press was stretched when VP Joe Biden's staff refused to let reporter Scott Powers, right, talk with guests at a fundraiser with Sen Bill Nelson
Biden's Staff Lock Journalist Incloset For Hours During A Fundraiser To Stop Him Talking To Guests
The White House website proudly says ‘President Obama is committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history.’
But try telling Vice President Joe Biden’s staff that, after they held a local reporter in a closet for hours after he was invited to cover a Florida political fundraiser because they did not want him talking with the guests.
As the unaware $500-a-head invitees dined on caprese crostini with oven-dried mozzarella and basil, rosemary flatbread with grapes honey and gorgonzola cheese, grilled chicken Caesar and garden vegetable wraps, veteran reporter Scott Powers was locked away.
The Orlando Sentinel reporter was ushered into the closet inside wealthy property developer Alan Ginsburg’s Winter Falls mansion, after being told that Joe Biden and Senator Bill Nelson had not yet arrived.
Powers told The Drudge Report: ‘When I'd stick my head out, they'd say, “Not yet. We'll let you know when you can come out.”’
After 90 minutes he was allowed out to hear Biden and Nelson speak for 35 minutes, before being taken back to the closet for the remainder of the event.
From inside his temporary prison Powers emailed his office from his cell phone: ‘Sounds like a nice party.’
Ms Alexander followed suit.
She said Power has accepted her 'unequivocal apology' made shortly after the fundraiser.
'This was the unfortunate mistake of an inexperienced staffer and the vice president's office has made sure it will never happen again,' she said.
She said pool reporters are usually given 'hotel rooms' when the Vice President speaks at private homes.
She explained that the closet was chosen because of its 'close proximity' to the room where Mr Biden was speaking, and that it had a table and chair where the reporter could work, as well as open space.
But she clarified: 'A hotel room, however, should not be a storage room'.
Some guests were shocked by the Vice President’s staff.
One emailed the paper saying: ‘I was in attendance at the Fundraiser and enjoyed a nice lunch.
‘If I had known there was a reporter stuffed in the closet, I would have been compelled to stand up and demand answers.
‘I would also like to know if this is actually legal to treat people like caged animals. I’m disgusted by these actions.’Florida state law says kidnapping entails ‘forcibly, secretly or by threat confining, abducting or imprisoning another person against her or his will and without lawful authority.’
Powers said of his treatment: ‘It was frustrating and annoying that I was not given a chance to do my job fully and properly.
‘This was an extreme, and extremely inappropriate way of handling the press… it was essentially a rude and uncomfortable way to treat a reporter.’
He attempted to play down his treatment calling it ‘hardly unusual or shocking’ and confirmed that he received an apology from Ginsburg.
But he said the Vice President’s staff emailed him an apology which ‘I found far less satisfying than Ginsburg’s.’
The incident is especially embarrassing for the administration because it comes at a time when the White House has been condemning the treatment of journalists trying to report in Libya.
Just ten days ago, President Obama’s spokesman Jay Carney told reporters: ‘journalists should be protected and allowed to do their work.’
The Vice President’s office did not respond to requests for comment.
Wild Thing's comment........
The shredding of the Constitution continues.
Makes me want to ask the question "who was a guest that they did not want this reporter to see?" Or "What other attendees made speeches?"
So will this reporter be voting for obama ....very possibly for a second time????? Shame him if he does.

New Jersey Democrat Sen. Frank Lautenberg Speaking At Baby Killing Planned Parenthood Rally: "Republicans Don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution”
On March 22, 2011, Democrat Sen. Frank Lautenberg speaking at a Planned Parenthood event in New Jersey where he railed, stood with, and was applauded by, Planned Parenthood supporters and state lawmakers against Republicans and Tea Party supporters, actually saying:
“The Republicans in Congress claim they’re concerned about the budget balance, but it’s a disguise! It’s not true! It’s a lie! That’s not what they want. They want — they want other people not to be able to have their own opinions. They don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we’ll give it to them anyway.”
Wild Thing's comment........
I hope someone is keeping track of what these public figures are saying, for posterity & the history books.
Because students of history will want to know why what is surely going to happen happened.
They don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we’ll give it to them anyway.
IDIOT!
Lautenberg doesn't believe in the foundational philosophy of America - that all men were endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and it is to secure these rights that governments are instituted among men.
I thought he was dead. Guess he just looked that way.

Who Is In Charge? Germans Pull Forces Out of NATO as Libyan Coalition Falls Apart
Libyan rebels retreat from the outskirts of the city of Ajdabiya, south of Benghazi. Nato members are also fighting over who will take command of allied forces
Who's in charge? Germans pull forces out of NATO as Libyan coalition falls apart
* Tensions with Britain as Gates rebukes UK government over suggestion Gaddafi could be assassinated
* French propose a new political 'committee' to oversee operations
* Germany pulls equipment out of NATO coalition over disagreement over campaign's direction
* Italians accuse French of backing NATO in exchange for oil contracts
* No-fly zone called into question after first wave of strikes 'neutralises' Libyan military machine
* U.K. ministers say war could last '30 years'
* Italy to 'take back control' of bases used by allies unless NATO leadership put in charge of the mission
* Russians tell U.S. to stop bombing in order to protect civilians - calls bombing a 'crusade'
Deep divisions between allied forces currently bombing Libya worsened today as the German military announced it was pulling forces out of NATO over continued disagreement on who will lead the campaign.
A German military spokesman said it was recalling two frigates and AWACS surveillance plane crews from the Mediterranean, after fears they would be drawn into the conflict if NATO takes over control from the U.S.
The infighting comes as a heated meeting of NATO ambassadors yesterday failed to resolve whether the 28-nation alliance should run the operation to enforce a U.N.-mandated no-fly zone, diplomats said.
Yesterday a war of words erupted between the U.S. and Britain after the U.K. government claimed Muammar Gaddafi is a legitimate target for assassination.
U.K. government officials said killing the Libyan leader would be legal if it prevented civilian deaths as laid out in a U.N. resolution.
But U.S. defence secretary Robert Gates hit back at the suggestion, saying it would be 'unwise' to target the Libyan leader adding cryptically that the bombing campaign should stick to the 'U.N. mandate'.
Barack Obama, seeking to avoid getting bogged down in a war in another Muslim country, said on Monday Washington would cede control of operations against Muammar Gaddafi's forces within days, handing the reins over to NATO.
But Germany and European allies remain unwilling to have NATO take on a military operation that theoretically has nothing to do with the defence of Europe.
Today the German defence ministry announced Berlin had pulled out of any military operations in the Mediterranean.
A ministry spokesman said two frigates and two other ships with a crew of 550 would be reverted to German command.
Some 60 to 70 German troops participating in NATO-operated AWACS surveillance operations in the Mediterranean would also be withdrawn, according to the ministry.
Berlin isn't participating in the operation to impose a no-fly zone in Libya and abstained on the U.N. resolution authorising it.
France, which launched the initial air strikes on Libya on Saturday, has argued against giving the U.S.-led NATO political control over an operation in an Arab country, while Turkey has called for limits to any alliance involvement.
In a bid to halt the embarrassing bickering, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe today proposed a new war committee to oversee operations.
The new body, Mr Juppe said, would bring together foreign ministers of participating states - such as Britain, France and the U.S. - as well as the Arab League.
Meanwhile the head of the Italian Senate's defence affairs committee, Gianpiero Cantoni, said the original French anti-NATO stance was motivated by a desire to secure oil contracts with a future Libyan government.
Some allies are even questioning whether a no-fly zone is still necessary, given the damage already done by air strikes to Gaddafi's military capabilities.
Speaking about yesterday's hastily arranged meeting of NATO allies, one diplomat said: 'The meeting became a little bit emotional,' before adding that France had argued that the coalition led by Britain, the United States and France should retain political control of the mission, with NATO providing operational support, including command-and-control capabilities.
'Others are saying NATO should have command or no role at all and that it doesn't make sense for NATO to play a subsidiary role,' the diplomat added.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu suggested that air strikes launched after a meeting in Paris hosted by France on Saturday had gone beyond what had been sanctioned by a U.N. Security Council resolution.
'There are U.N. decisions and these decisions clearly have a defined framework. A NATO operation which goes outside this framework cannot be legitimised,' he told news channel CNN Turk.
Adding pressure to the already fractured alliance, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini has also reiterated a warning that Italy would take back control of airbases it has authorised for use by allies for operations over Libya unless a NATO coordination structure was agreed.
In a shock admission, U.K. ministers have admitted the intervention in Libya could last for up to '30 years'.
Asked for an estimate, British Armed Forces Minister Nick Harvey said: 'How long is a piece of string? We don't know how long this is going to go on.
'We don't know if this is going to result in a stalemate. We don't know if his capabilities are going to be degraded quickly. Ask me again in a week.'
In the U.S., Obama has made it clear he wants no part of any leadership role in Libya.
President Obama has already been criticised for continuing with a tour of Latin America as the military operation over Libya began. And yesterday he insisted again that while Gaddafi must go, the U.S. is not prepared to remove him by force, but merely to enforce the no-fly zone.
Even that hesitant stance, which has already earned him the title of the Great Vacillator, left him criticised for not seeking proper approval from Congress before sending the American military in.
And after reports emerged that Gaddafi's son had been killed in a kamikaze strike yesterday, fresh questions over what exactly the U.S. intends to achieve in Libya emerged.
With Turkey digging its heels in and the Arab League suspicious, it has been pointed out that Mr Obama has fewer coalition partners in Libya than George Bush did at the start of the Iraq war.
He was criticised by both Republicans and Democrats over his decision to commit the U.S. military before going to Congress.
Representatives Jerrold Nadler of New York, Barbara Lee of California, Michael Capuano of Massachusetts, Senators Richard Lugar of Indiana and Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Representative Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland all complained that Mr Obama had exceeded his constitutional authority by authorizing the attack without Congressional permission.
The President hit back in a two-page letter to Congress and again reiterated his claim that while Gaddafi must go, the U.S. was only in Libya to enforce the no-fly zone for the protection of civilians.
France has already taken a leading role in the conflict, with President Nicolas Sarkozy hosting a summit in Paris over the weekend and French bombers being the first to enforce the no-fly zone.

Libya another community obama can’t organize.
Yet ANOTHER failure for The One. Actually this is huge.
Whoever heard of a coalition falling apart after what, five days? LOL
Reagan brought down the Warsaw Pact.
Obama will bring down NATO.
If it’s falling apart this fast it means it wasn’t put together very well. You can’t just throw these things together.
This feels like a Marx Brothers film or something. Here they are all fighting with each other, no one and everyone wants to be the boss. Obama has no clue how to lead and these leaders are not stupid they know obama could have cancelled his trip with so much going on.
I can only imagine how the other countries speak of obama behind closed doors and no live mic. He has done tremendous damage to our country within and in the world.
Remember when we used to have a leader in our White House???? Yes that was such a great feeling.
Gadhafi is coming out of this smelling like a rose... Wow I just cannot believe what a complete you know what this is. This intervention, what...... put together over lunch and a few pencils/napkins? Obama just said ok, and didn’t even bother to mention it to America? Totally insane, hope it costs Obama any slim hope of being elected.
Like Carter, Obama is making a huge mess out of foreign policy.

Group Of Democrats In Uproar Over Obama's U.S. Missile Strikes Against Libya

Liberal Democrats in uproar over Libya action
A hard-core group of liberal House Democrats is questioning the constitutionality of U.S. missile strikes against Libya, with one lawmaker raising the prospect of impeachment during a Democratic Caucus conference call on Saturday.
Reps. Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.), Donna Edwards (Md.), Mike Capuano (Mass.), Dennis Kucinich (Ohio), Maxine Waters (Calif.), Rob Andrews (N.J.), Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas), Barbara Lee (Calif.) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) “all strongly raised objections to the constitutionality of the president’s actions” during that call, said two Democratic lawmakers who took part.
Kucinich, who wanted to bring impeachment articles against both former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney over Iraq — only to be blocked by his own leadership — asked why the U.S. missile strikes aren’t impeachable offenses.
Kucinich also questioned why Democratic leaders didn’t object when President Barack Obama told them of his plan for American participation in enforcing the Libyan no-fly zone during a White House Situation Room meeting on Friday, sources told POLITICO.
And liberals fumed that Congress hadn’t been formally consulted before the attack and expressed concern that it would lead to a third U.S. war in the Muslim world.
While other Democratic lawmakers have publicly backed Obama — including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and top members of the Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees — the objections from a vocal group of anti-war Democrats on Capitol Hill could become a political problem for Obama, especially if “Operation Odyssey Dawn” fails to topple Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi, leads to significant American casualties, or provokes a wider conflict in the troubled region of North Africa.
Saturday’s conference call was organized by Rep. John Larson (Conn.), chairman of the Democratic Caucus and the fourth-highest ranking party leader. Larson has called for Obama to seek congressional approval before committing the United States to any anti-Qadhafi military operation.
“They consulted the Arab League. They consulted the United Nations. They did not consult the United States Congress,” one Democrat lawmaker said of the White House. “They’re creating wreckage, and they can’t obviate that by saying there are no boots on the ground. … There aren’t boots on the ground; there are Tomahawks in the air.”
“Almost everybody who spoke was opposed to any unilateral actions or decisions being made by the president, and most of us expressed our constitutional concerns. There should be a resolution and there should be a debate so members of Congress can decide whether or not we enter in whatever this action is being called,” added another House Democrat opposed to the Libyan operation.
“Whose side are we on? This appears to be more of a civil war than some kind of a revolution. Who are protecting? Are we with the people that are supposedly opposed to [Qadhafi]? You think they have a lot of people with him? If he is deposed, who will we be dealing with? There are a lot of questions here from members.”
The unrest among Hill Democrat resembles, in part, the debates inside the White House, Pentagon and State Department over the last few weeks as the Libyan crisis has unfolded.
The White House has worked to put out a narrative over the last 48 hours portraying Obama as initially opposed to any involvement in a Libyan campaign, with a major change in the president’s viewpoint developing over the course of the last week as Qadhafi loyalists appeared to be gaining the upper hand and a humanitarian crisis appeared inevitable.
While Defense Secretary Robert Gates led administration opponents of any U.S. role in the anti-Qadhafi operation
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton backed calls from the French and British governments for a NATO-led effort to assist the Libyan rebels. The Clinton clique eventually prevailed in the debate, and Clinton then worked with U.S. allies to craft a U.N. Security Council resolution authorizing the mission.

What is that old saying about a broken clock is right on time two times a day.
The Communist Caucus is mad at obama. LOL Are we reduced to agreeing with them on this ...Kucinich...OMG I feel sick.
Bush got authority from Congress and UN with one year debate. Obama only got it from UN and then rushed to war.
No impeachment will be successful unless it is initiated by and is widely supported by democrats.
Democrats must become convinced that Obama is so toxic that democrats will lose elections as the “party of Obama” for at least a generation. And their only redemption would be to correct the mistake themselves via impeachment.
I am doubtful that would happen, but this is a good start.
And let's not forget about this I posted the other day. I did take joy in watching it. heh heh
“Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?” Farrakhan Blasts Obama For Calling For Qaddafi to Step Down

THIS IS AN EASY ONE....Surely this will be the campaign in 2011/12????

Striking Pocono Medical Center Workers and SEIU Thugs Protest at ESSA Bank Headquarters in Stroudsburg, Pa.
SEIU Thugs Invade Bank Office, Harass Bank Worker, and Then Demand Respect
Striking Pocono Medical Center workers and SEIU members fill the lobby of ESSA Bank and Trust headquarters on Wednesday, March 16, 2011. The union wanted to meet with CEO Gary Olson, who is chairman of the board of directors of the medical center.
Wild Thing's comment........
I look at all this from the SEIU as a great sourse of ammo if anyone ever tries to say how awesome unions are and how much good they do. There are so many examples we can site as to how bad these people are.
Another thing is that if any union member tried this in their own union hall their kneecaps would be broken, they would never allow this on their turf. I’m really looking forward to the day when Americans start striking back at the greedy union piggies.

Nancy Pelosi ( is so far ‘out there’ that it is uncharted territory) Lectures on Fiscal Responsibility
“Democrats have long fought for fiscal responsibility.”
“President Obama was a job creator from day one.”
“Democrats “saved/created 3.6 million jobs” and “reduced the deficit” and created “fiscal soundness.”
“I believe we have an obligation as a government to be job creators.”
When Pelosi took over Congress the national deficit was $162 billion. When she exited in January 2011 it was at $1.29 Trillion dollars. Pelosi and Barack Obama even managed to triple the national deficit in his first year after the stimulus passed.

Violence Advocated at Unlawful Socialist Protest - Portland Oregon
March 11, 2010, Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland Oregon. Socialists gather unlawfully. Security is shouted down, and a union member steps in to interfere with officers. Mob rule prevails. Participants advocate violence and assembling without the proper permits. Numerous profanities are used with children present. High School students are encouraged to walk out of class and are on the way. Signs show violent symbols (e.g., "Sacrifice the Rich," cross hairs with bullet holes), and homophobic slurs ("Scott Walker is a Koch Fiend."). More of the same is promised in the future.
Scott Walker fundraiser in Washburn held this last weekend.
The leftie protesters were there yeling their hate about the rich corporations taking their last pennies. That was not enough for them they even videotaped the license plates of donors at the Scott Walker fundraiser.
People were definitely saying their piece, greeting each vehicle that arrived for the dinner with shouts of “Shame!” while waving protest signs and shaking their fists. One person videotaped the license plates of at least some of the vehicles that entered.
Protesters banged pots, shook tambourines at car windows and sounded horns. Most of the drivers and their passengers stared straight ahead. They had to navigate through a narrow tunnel formed by protesters on both sides, held back by Bayfield County sheriff’s deputies and rally organizers.
The radicals from the unionistas, Code Pinko, “ANSWER Coalition”, the greenies, socialists and anarchists are planning RIOTS for this next weekend....Saturday March 19th and according to their website are calling it......
International Day of Action
From their site regarding next Saturday:
On Saturday, tens of thousands more will hit the streets in Madison. Unions, community organizations, anti-war activists and others are coming from across the state and nearby states to show their outrage. It is expected to be the biggest outpouring of support for working families yet.
Calls for a general strike are growing. Hundreds of people at the capitol are carrying signs reading, “Labor can win: Time for a general strike.” Progressive filmmaker Michael Moore called on students across the country to walk out in solidarity with Wisconsin.
And Joe Conway, president of the Madison firefighters’ union, voiced support for a general strike. When asked by a reporter what he thought about a general strike, Conway responded: “I’m in total agreement. We should start walking out tomorrow, the next day. … See how long they can last. … This is a nation-wide movement to attack all working men and women in Wisconsin and the United States.”

This is VERY concerning...scary. In many States a person can get information like a home address etc. just from a license plate.
Isn't that group that has the website...one of groups Soros owns/donates to etc. ???? It sounds familiar.

Attorney General Eric "my people" Holder Forcing City of Dayton to Lower Its Standards So Minority Applicants Can Pass Test
The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.
It’s a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.
The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That’s the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’.
“It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community,” said Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane. “It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation.”
“The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,” agreed Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward.
The D.O.J. and Civil Service Board declined Dayton’s News Source’s repeat requests for interviews. The lower standards mean 258 more people passed the test. The city won’t say how many were minorities.
“If you lower the score for any group of people, you’re not getting the best qualified people for the job,” Foward said.
“We need to work with the youth and make them interested in becoming law enforcement officers and firefighters,” said Beane. “Break down the barriers whether they are real or perceived, so we can move forward in this community.”
The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing.
The Dayton Firefighter recruit exam is coming up this summer. The chief said it’s likely the passing score for that test will be lowered as well.
Wild Thing's comment.......
If I was black and trying for this job, I would be insulted by what Eric Holder is asking (demanding ) to happen. Totally insulted, the same way I would feel about the horrible press 1 for English etc.. Why can't people realize this catering like this only makes the person look stupid and for sure unable to do the job they are wanting. The same with the Press 1 for English, it makes those needing this look stupid.

Democrat Protesters Climbing The Wisconsin Capitol Walls During Lock Out Yesterday and Republican State Senators Told To Skip St. Patricks Day Parade For Safety Reasons
“This is what thuggery looks like.”
They will stop at nothing… Far Left goons scaled the walls of the Wisconsin capitol yesterday and harassed officials sitting inside their offices. These idiots even filmed their harassment.
Wisconsin Republican Forced to Skip St. Patricks Day Parade Appearance Due to Death Threats
A Wisconsin Republican was told not to participate in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Fond du Lac after receiving death threats this week. Police told the senator to sit this one out.
A parade with more than 50 entries will now be down two participants.
Fond du Lac police say the tension in Madison has spawned threats, they and lawmakers are acting on.
“We’ve taken them all seriously and we’re happy to say that none of them have panned out yet here in Fond du Lac, so we’re still vigilant,” Deputy Chief Kevin Lemke said.
State Senator Randy Hopper and State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt, both Republicans, have decided not to march in the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday.
Hopper was among the Republican lawmakers who received death threats, in connection to the battle over collective bargaining and fixing a budget deficit.
Deputy Chief Kevin Lemke says officers advised Hopper not to attend.
The parade will start at 3:00 p.m. at Rees and Main and move south down Main Street. It is meant to be a family affair, but this year will have a significant police presence.
“Obviously people have a right to express their political views, we’re just concerned for the safety of himself, participants and people that are there to enjoy the parade,” Lemke explained.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is crazy, how these protesters are behaving. And this is America and to have anyone concerned about attending a parade because of not being safe..... OMG.
Where is Obama condeming these death threats.....???? He is probably calling them to cheer them on.

Democrats In Wisconsin Sending Numerous Death Threats To State Sen.'s State Sens. Joe Leibham and Glenn Grothman and Many Other Republicans
State Sens. Joe Leibham and Glenn Grothman
Death Threats Have Come To: Sen.Kapanke; Sen.Darling; Sen.Cowles; Sen.Ellis; Sen.Fitzgerald; Sen.Galloway; Sen.Grothman; Sen.Harsdorf; Sen.Hopper; Sen.Kedzie; Sen.Lasee; Sen.Lazich; Sen.Leibham; Sen.Moulton; Sen.Olsen Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!
Governor Scott Walker has had death threats.
Republicans Senators death threats by email
And the latest is this note above shoved under their doors.
State Sens. Joe Leibham and Glenn Grothman confirmed Thursday they were among the Republican senators who received a death threat in the wake of a vote to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for public workers.
The threat was sent in an e-mail late Wednesday with the subject, “Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!” according to a copy of the letter released by Grothman’s office.
Grothman, R-West Bend, said the e-mail is the latest example of “a new height in incivility.” He said in recent weeks he has received obscene phone calls at all hours of the night, been jostled at the Capitol and been shouted down during interviews.
“This is another example of the anger which is being spewed by the government unions,” Grothman said. “This has been all about intimidating, be it the death threats, the screaming in the face, the late night phone calls or the recalls, this has been all about trying to intimidate Republican legislators into bowing to the public unions, and it has only steeled our resolve.”
Grothman said he is hesitant to completely disregard the threat given the volatile atmosphere in Madison. A note shoved under his door Wednesday night said, “The only good Republican is a dead Republican.”
“There’s certainly been angry people around this Capitol who wanted to hit me, so I wouldn’t put anything by this sort of crowd,” Grothman said.
Leibham, of Sheboygan, said the threat came to him via e-mail as well, and his staff contacted law enforcement agencies at the Capitol and in Madison.
“We’ve been getting a lot of e-mail throughout the entire four-week process,” Leibham said. “I think (the threat) was sent to at least eight if not all 18 senators who voted for the bill last evening. I’m not making a real big deal out of it … I’m confident they will look into it and hopefully determine if there’s any seriousness to the threat.”
The letter tells lawmakers to “make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones,” warning they will be killed “due to your actions in the last eight weeks.”
The letter, which is signed, says the writer is working with a group of people and knows where the legislators live. It says legislators may be shot in their homes or killed with bombs placed at locations they frequent.
“We feel that you and the people that support the dictator have to die,” the letter reads. “If you and your goonies feel that it’s necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families and themselves then We Will ‘get rid of’ (in which I mean kill) you.”

Hmmmmmm so where is Wolf Blitzer and Barack Obama denouncing people doing this and oh yes the civility what's up with that?
Somebody in Wisconsin had better act soon to restore law and order before someone gets killed by these mobsters and anarchists.

Democrat Led Senate Rejects Bill Defunding Planned Parenthood
U.S. Senate rejects bill defunding Planned Parenthood
In a 44-56 vote, the U.S. Senate has voted against a budget bill crafted by House Republicans that would have eliminated federal funding of Planned Parenthood.
The Democrat-led Senate also failed to pass its own budget bill, which contained much fewer spending cuts and maintained the abortion giant’s funding.
The vote marks the first stage of what promises to be a drawn-out battle between two opposite visions for the 2011 fiscal year, as well as between pro-life and pro-abortion forces fiercely gunning for or against the amendment de-funding Planned Parenthood.
Obama has promised to veto the House version as it stands.

U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 112th Congress
The 3 republican no votes were Rand Paul, Jim DeMint, and Mike Lee.
DeMint’s office in D.C.said.....He voted not to defund because the rest of the bill was about setting the budget for the YEAR, and it only allowed for an approximately 4% cut. The staffer said it is the GOP’s intention to continue to put the defunding in other bills.

NPR Muslim Brotherhood Investigation
Breitbart
Independent journalist James O’Keefe has released the latest in his series of undercover investigative videos. In this production, Senior VP of Development of the NPR Foundation, Ron Schiller, is shown discussing a potential donation from a phony Muslim Brotherhood front group set-up by O’Keefe’s team. While discussing the importance of NPR, Mr. Schiller expresses his views on conservatives, the Tea Party, Republicans, Zionist and much more.”
NPR's soon-to-be-departing senior vice president for fundraising Ron Schiller is seen and heard on a videotape released this morning telling two men who were posing as members of a fictitious Muslim Education Action Center Trust that:
— "The Tea Party is fanatically involved in people's personal lives and very fundamental Christian — I wouldn't even call it Christian. It's this weird evangelical kind of move."
— "Tea Party people" aren't "just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it's scary. They're seriously racist, racist people."
— "I think what we all believe is if we don't have Muslim voices in our schools, on the air ... it's the same thing we faced as a nation when we didn't have female voices." In the heavily edited tape, that comment followed Schiller being told by one of the men that their organization "was originally founded by a few members of the Muslim Brotherhood in America." There's no sign in the edited tape that Schiller reacted in any way after being told of the group's alleged connection to an Islamic group that appeared to be connected with Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood.
— That NPR "would be better off in the long run without federal funding," a position in direct conflict with the organization's official position.
Schiller is also heard laughing when one of the men jokes that NPR should be known as "National Palestinian Radio."
NPR places Schiller on administrative leave over O’Keefe video

Bomb Threat At Location of Scott Walker News Conference
On Wednesday, March 2, 2011, Eau Claire Police arrested Patrick James Knauf, on suspicion of threatening a bomb scare. Knauf is alleged to have called Heartland Aviation, a private business on the grounds of the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport, and told the receptionist that he was "going to bomb that place tonight."
Following the arrest, the Chippewa County District Attorney's Office was presented with results of a preliminary investigation. The investigation, however, is dynamic and on-going. On Thursday March 3, 2011, Eau Claire Police detectives executed a search warrant on the residence of Patrick James Knauf. Further, investigators are examining telephone records, and conducting follow up interviews.
Currently, the investigation reveals that Patrick James Knauf participated in a public demonstration at the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport on Monday, February 28, 2011 and / or Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Individuals with information about Patrick James Knauf's statements or conduct at those demonstrations, are asked to contact the Eau Claire Police Department's confidential tipster line at (715) 839-4982.
Pending a final charging decision, Patrick James Knauf has been released on a $3000 signature bond; and ordered to have no contact with Heartland Aviation, nor the owners of Heartland Aviation, Larry and Jeff Husby. Knauf is scheduled to return to court on April 19, 2011.
Police reports show Knauf is a day trader, but it's unclear whether he's self-employed or if he works for someone.
Governor Walker has held press conferences at Heartland Aviation twice this week, including one on Wednesday around noon.
This case is considered an active investigation; therefore information being released is limited at this time.

Senate Democrats are willing to fight to keep Obama’s policy “czars” in the White House
As they rolled out their stopgap 2011 fiscal spending plan Friday, Senate appropriators drew a line in the sand over a House attempt to oust Obama’s senior advisers on policy issues including energy and health care out.
Senate Appropriations Committee Democrats blasted the language as “an intrusive micromanagement of the president’s White House staff via appropriations.”
An amendment attached to the House continuing resolution last month from Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) would cut the salaries for nine so-called policy czars, White House advisers who aren’t subject to Senate confirmation. The rider was adopted by a vote of 249-179.
The amendment “continues the Republican objection to President Obama’s use of ‘czars’ for coordinating policy across government and intentionally hamstrings the White House on interagency coordination of two signature policy areas – health care reform and climate change,” the committee said in a statement.
The jobs Republicans want to slice: White House-appointed advisers on health care, energy, climate, green jobs, urban affairs, the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention center, oversight of TARP executive compensation, diversity at the Federal Communications Commission and the auto industry manufacturing policy.
Scalise warned last month of “a very disturbing proliferation of czars” under Obama, describing them as “these unappointed, unaccountable people who are literally running a shadow government, heading up these little fiefdoms that nobody can really seem to identify where they are or what they’re doing.” He added, “But we do know that they’re wielding vast amounts of power.”
Wild Thing's comment........
Get rid of these marxist/progressive czars. Defund the EPA. Obama surrounds himself with people who have no respect for America. Defund them & throw them out.
They were not elected and are not needed.

Jesse Jackson Jr: Let's Add the Right to Economic Security to Constitution
Because FDR says, as Jackson quotes, that true individual freedom can't exist without economic security. So what does Jackson want to add to the Constitution? He quotes FDR again: the right to a family to have a decent home, the right to medical care, and the right to a decent education for every American.

Wisc. Democrats Getting Killed In The Court Of Public Opinion Do Publicity Stunt They Move Desks Out Of Capitol
The Wisconsin Senate Democrats are hiding out in Illinois. Now, the Wisconsin Assembly Democrats are moving their desks outside.
Wisconsin Legislators Move Desks Out of Capitol Locked Down By Governor
On Wednesday, a number of Democrats state Assembly members began meeting with the people they represent along the outside wall of the Capitol, beneath a banner that read: “Assembly Democrats Are Open for Business.”
“We are out here because our governor and the Department of Administration are ignoring a judge’s court order,” said Assembly minority leader Peter Barca, who was joined by state representatives Fred Clark, Nick Milroy and Cory Mason.
With them was former US Representative Dave Obey, a Democrat who began his political career as an Assembly member.
Obey said that, on Wednesday, he was denied entry to the Capitol for the first time in his five decades of public service and active citizenship.

From the DOA blog, the Capitol looked to be OPEN just as the court said it should. So what’s his beef?? This taking the desks outside was just to get attention.
Imagine how much Repubs could accomplish if they had the backing of the “media” that the Dems have.

To Surly, With Love: Are Teachers Overpaid? See Video and You Decide!!
"To Surly, With Love" was written and produced by Nick Gillespie and Meredith Bragg.
To Surly, With Love: Are Teachers Overpaid?
According to Department of Education statistics, in 2007-2008 (the latest year available), full-time public school teachers across the country made an average of $53,230 in "total school-year and summer earned income." That compares favorably to the $39,690 that private school teachers pulled down.
And when it comes to retirement benefits, public school teachers do better than average too. According to EducationNext, government employer contribute the equivalent of 14.6 percent of salary to retirement benefits for public school teachers. That compares to 10.4 for private-sector professionals.
Those levels of compensation help explain why per-pupil school costs have risen substantially over the past 50 years. In 1960-61, public schools spent $2,769 per student, a figure that now totals over $10,000 in real, inflation-adjusted dollars. Among the things that threefold-plus increase in spending has purchased are more teachers per student. In 1960, the student-teacher ratio in public schools was 25.8; it's now at a historic low of 15.
Among the things all that money hasn't bought? Parental satisfaction, for one. Despite public teachers' much-higher salaries, parents with school-age children in public schools report substantially lower satisfaction rates than parents with children in private schools. In 2007, the percentage of parents with children in assigned public schools who were "very satisfied" with the institution was 52 percent. For parents whose children attended public schools of choice, that figure rose to 62 percent. Parents sending their children to private schools, whether religious or non-sectarian, were "very satisfied" 79 percent of the time.
It's little wonder that parents with little or no choice report the lowest-levels of satisfaction (about 90 percent of K-12 students attend public schools). Despite all the extra resources devoted to public school teachers and students, student achievement has been absolutely flat over the past 40 years. The National Assessment of Educational Progress is "the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas." When it comes to 17-year-old students (effectively, high-school seniors), nothing has changed since reporting began in the early 1970s. In 1971, 17-year-old students averaged 285 points (out of 500) in reading. In 2008, that had risen to 286. For math in 1973, the average score was 304 (out of 500). In 2008, it was 306.
Public school teachers make about $14,000 a year more in straight salary than private school teachers; when you add in benefits, the gap widens even more. They teach fewer students than ever before and taxpayers at all levels spend increasing amounts of money on education. Yet for all that, the best you can say is that we're spending more than three times as much money as we were 40 years ago for exactly the same outcomes.
The National Governors Association says that states are looking at $175 billion in shortfalls over the next two years. Local governments are in the red too. As legislators look for places to cut or reduce spending, there's no question that public school teachers have a lot to lose in terms of compensation.
And there's no question that, even if there were no budget emergencies, the nation's public school system is failing to return much of anything on an ever-growing pile of tax dollars.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Given the test scores of the children they are supposed to be ‘teaching’ I would suggest they are grossly overpaid.
Let's see......get summers off, spring break, winter break, snow days, holidays etc.
I realize many teachers have to teach in rough schools and be baby-sitters, but many of them have it made compared to people who work in the private sector.
And then there is the agenda of the left that is being taught in public schools! GRRRRRR, the way they have been having same sex day in gradeschool OMG, and tributes to Islam day and tours to mosques, and teaching about sex to 5 and 6 year olds.. The list would be long if we sat here and thought back on every time we are outraged at what is being taught and what is NOT being taught. Then there are student teachers who take over the classrooms for a couple of months, when the teachers do absolutely nothing.
Interesting to note too that Private schools, charter schools all pay significantly less. And, do better.
IMO.....The most , number one underpaid job in this Country, is the one fulfilled by those serving in our military.

Wisconsin Democrat Protesters Suddenly Enter Capitol Chanting, “Our house, our house"
Demonstrators suddenly enter Capitol
Around 100 screaming leftists stormed the Wisconsin State Capitol tonight. They were flashing peace signs and screaming “This is what democracy looks like!” as they stormed the building. It wasn’t the first time.
Madison -- A group of perhaps one hundred protesters has entered the previously restricted and quiet Capitol and is now chanting, “Our house, our house.”
David Noyce of Madison said that he entered the building with the demonstrators after someone let them in and that a policeman flashed him a thumbs up as he entered. The protesters entered just as Gov. Scott Walker was about to start a news conference in a separate room of the building.
“It’s about time,” Noyce said, when told that a Dane County judge would be issuing an order to open the Capitol.
The protesters have been stopped by phalanx of police on the ground floor of the west wing and prevented from reaching the rotunda and joining the separate group of protesters who have been spending the night in the Capitol.
Both groups of demonstrators are chanting slogans over the police such as “This is what democracy looks like,” “Shame!” and “We want Walker!” Others are making a peace sign with their fingers.
Look at this. First what happened in the above article, then watch this video. Democrat State Rep. Nick Milroy (South Grange) was tackled by police Thursday evening while he was trying to make it inside the Capitol in Madison.
Hmmmmmmmm - he did not get the tumbs up like the protestors did in Madison. ~ Wild Thing

Police: Live ammo found around Capitol
41 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition discovered
MADISON (AP) - Police say they have found live ammunition scattered on the ground around the Wisconsin Capitol.
University of Wisconsin Police Chief Susan Riseling says 41 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition were found Thursday morning scattered at several locations outside the Capitol. The revelation came as state attorneys asked a Dane County judge to order the Capitol closed for a security sweep. The judge made no immediate ruling on the request.
Protesters are in their third week of demonstrations against Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to repeal nearly all collective bargaining rights for most public employee unions. State officials said about 100 protesters remain in the building, which has had limited access since Sunday.

“Our house, our house.”
And nobody else is included? So the State belongs to 300,000 out of 5.6 million people? I guess they call 5.6% a majority. It was in the Soviet Union.
he entered the building with the demonstrators after someone let them in and that a policeman flashed him a thumbs up as he entered. The protesters entered just as Gov. Scott Walker was about to start a news conference...
This cop should be fired. If COPS think this bunch of commies are their “brothers” they are stupid or co conspirators.
Most of those commie/marxist/socialist/fascist/progressives want the cops dead. The policeman that gave the thumps up needs a reality check or something.
It’s time for Governor Walker to send in the National Guard.
This is from a friend that lives in Wisc. :
"Vicki McKenna website for the podcasts is http://www.vickimckenna.com/ WIBA is like Radio Free Wisconsin and the unions are making a serious attempt to boycott any advertisers on WIBA as long as her show is on the air.

Rep. Anthony Weiner Mocks Megyn Kelly in Interview on Justice Thomas's Health Care Comments
Megyn Kelly welcomed Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner back to her show.
It’s beginning to become a habit for Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner to treat Fox News’ Megyn Kelly with insults and complete disrespect when appearing on her show. This time, Weiner treats Kelly with a very condescending and belittling attitude when she challenges him on some of his statements about Justice Clarence Thomas.
Weiner adamantly believed that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from hearing a case on the constitutionality of healthcare reform due to the financial interests of his wife that give off the appearance of bias. When Kelly began to dispute whether that was legally necessary Weiner began to get agitated.
Weiner frequently appears on Fox News and his detractors might claim he just as frequently ends up yelling to make his point or looking frustrated when not given enough time. Here he questions whether Kelly knows the definition of an “interview” while also discussing the differences between facts and opinion and disputing Fox’s “coverage” of any issue. Kelly humorously asks when is it her turn to speak?
Weiner also took a cheap shot at Fox News, saying, “I’m not really sure what goes on at Fox is actually coverage.”
Q-&-A was cut short when things got heated … Weiner telling Megyn to ask questions instead of “giving speeches” and at one point sarcastically saying “great interview.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Weiner was doing exactly what big mouthed democRATS always do when they're getting beaten by logic - they fillibuster.
Whoever goes on her show better get their facts straight. She does her homework and does not let them twist the truth.So we don't miss it, I tape her show so Nick and I can watch her show America Live every day and love how she handles the jerks.
She takes on O’Reilly too and doesn’t let him bully her.
Justice Ginsberg’s late husband was a tax lawyer. She was never asked to recuse herself from tax cases. The idea that one is responsible for one’s spouse’s activities is absurd. The hatred for Justice Thomas is vicious & extreme.

Marc Lamont Hill On Whites-Only Scholarship:"being white is a form of scholarship"
African-American Studies professor Marc Lamont Hill is upset over a Texas student’s plan to organize white scholarships.
He says “there’s no need” for white scholarships because, “Being white itself is a form of scholarship.” Hill contends, “White people have access to school in ways that black people don’t.”
Hill dismissed the idea as a “spectacle that we see every year” from “white folk who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the fact that the world might be becoming just a little bit more fair.”
.
Texas group launches scholarship for white men ONLY... because they 'need an equal shot'
A non-profit group has launched a college scholarship for a demographic it claims are under-represented in society - white men.
The Former Majority Association for Equality will give grants of $500 to any man from Texas who is at least ‘25 per cent Caucasian’, has good grades and can demonstrate they are in need.
Its founder Colby Bohannan claims whites feel ‘excluded’ when they apply to college and that they are ‘left out’ when it comes to funding.
The provocative move risks a backlash by anti-racism groups but college officials in Texas have said there is little they can do to prevent it.
Mr Bohannan, a former Texas State University student and Iraq veteran, said the group was named because of the idea that ‘if you're not a male, and if you're not white, you're called a minority’.
‘I'm not sure white males are the majority any more,’ he said. ‘If everyone else can find scholarships, why are we left out?’
He added that the group is not taking a stance on affirmative action and has denounced racism.
‘It's time in our society to look at the way our culture views race,’ he said. ‘It's time to give everyone an equal shot.’ FMAFE plans to offer four $500 scholarships to any college, inside Texas or outside the state, for the forthcoming academic year.
Mr Bohannan said: 'The toughest obstacles to getting this organisation off the ground seem to be not appearing racially motivated, and getting taken seriously.
'The board members of FMAFE are not trying to put anyone down or make any race or cultures seem inferior.'
Despite the apparently wild claims Bohannan may actually be correct - Hispanics accounted for two-thirds of the population growth over the past decade in Texas.
Non-Hispanic whites now make up about 45 per cent of residents.
The scholarship has already touched off a heated debate in Texas and on the Texas State University student newspaper opinion was divided.
About-time wrote: ‘This is awesome! Its about time people realize that white people deserve help too. Its not just minorities who struggle’.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
There really should be no objection from the race peddlers on this who push minority only programs six ways from Sunday. I would prefer that Scholarships would never be based on race, there are plenty of other things Scholarships could be based on.
Have you about this: .....The Gates Millennium ScholarS Program
Bill Gates has made his scholarship fund off limits to white teenagers. The Gates Millennium Scholarship fund is financed by a $1 Billion endowment Bill Gates made in 1999. The fund explicitly denies eligibility to white students.
“Students are eligible to be considered for a GMS scholarship if they: Are African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander American, or Hispanic American;"

Congressional Bosses From Hell: Sheila Jackson Lee
From forcing staffers to wear green hats when picking her up at the airport to demanding 2 a.m. grocery runs, former employees are comparing working for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) to “living in a dangerous war zone.”
A lot of politicians give nicknames to their aides. George W. Bush famously referred to his attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, as “Fredo.” Mitch Daniels, then head of the Office of Management and Budget, was known as “The Blade.” Barack Obama reportedly called Larry Summers, his chief economic advisor, “Dr. Kevorkian.”
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas also hands out nicknames to the people who work for her. The Houston Democrat addressed one of her employees as “you stupid motherfucker.” And not just once, but “constantly,” recalls the staffer, “like, all the time.”
Another Jackson Lee aide recounts the time her parents came to Washington to visit: “They were really excited to come to the congressional office. They’re small town people, so for them it was a huge deal. They were actually sitting in the main lobby waiting area….[Jackson Lee] came out screaming at me over a scheduling change. Called me a ’stupid idiot. Don’t be a moron, you foolish girl’ and actually did this in front of my parents, of all things.”
Yet another staffer remembers requesting a meeting early on in her tenure to ask how best to serve the congresswoman. Jackson Lee’s response: “What? What did you say to me? Who are you, the Congresswoman? You haven’t been elected. You don’t set up meetings with me! I tell you! You know what? You are the most unprofessional person I have ever met in my life.” With that, Jackson Lee hung up the phone.
According to the same staffer, Jackson Lee “would always say, ‘What am I a prostitute? Am I your prostitute? You can’t prostitute me.’”
Capitol Hill is famous for its demanding, insensitive bosses. Yet even by the harsh standards of Congress, Sheila Jackson Lee stands out.
She may be the worst boss in Washington.
“It’s like being an Iraq War veteran,” says someone who worked for her. Strangers may say, “‘oh I know what you’ve been through.’ No, you really don’t. Because until you’ve experienced it…. People don’t tell the worst of the stories, because they’re really unbelievable.”
For some, a job in Jackson Lee’s office proved not just emotionally but physically perilous. One staffer recalls a frank conversation with his doctor, who told him he needed to quit. “It’s your life or your job,” the doctor told him, warning that the stress and long hours were wreaking havoc on his body.
Only a few on staff fought back. One of Jackson Lee’s drivers became so frustrated with her abuse the person pulled the car over and demand she stop: “She’s screaming and swearing. ‘M.F.’ everything. Finally I slammed on the brakes and told her to get the hell out of my car. I’m like ‘I can’t drive with you like this. Either get out, or you can calm down.’ And she’s like ‘you need to go or get fired.’ I’m like, ‘that’s fine. But I’m either leaving without you or you can calm down,’” the staffer said.
Jackson Lee then threatened to call the police and claim she was being held hostage in the car. But she finally did calm down when the staffer called her bluff, offering to flag down a Capitol Police officer to explain the situation.
Former aide Michael McQueery said his experience with other “difficult” bosses on the Hill prepared him for how to handle Jackson Lee. “I’ve worked for two other members. They did the same thing,” he said.
“It was at first, I’m not going to lie to you, it was a rough patch with her and me. But I took her to the side and I let her know that, you know, ‘Congresswoman, I’m a man before anything else.’ And after that, we had no problems. We had no problems,” McQueery said.
Of the scores of Jackson Lee staffers contacted by The Daily Caller, only McQueery offered an affirmative defense of the congresswoman’s management techniques. “A lot of people just did not know how to go, and say, ‘hey, that’s inappropriate,’” McQueery said.
~ snipet ~
When she was not there, Jackson Lee’s office was open and the sounds emanating from inside were pleasant laughter and conversation.
“You could tell when she wasn’t there,” Stephens said. That was because on a day in which Congress was in session, a different set of sounds often came through closed doors to Jackson Lee’s office: screaming and, many times, crying.
Later that day, a skinny young black man with his hair pulled back in a ponytail walked into Miller’s office and asked Stephens for a favor. Could he borrow a knife to cut a birthday cake?
Stephens, who’d seen the man working in Jackson Lee’s office, was happy to help, with only the request to “make sure you bring it back, that’s our only one.”
He laughed. “We would never leave a knife around when the congresswoman was here,” he said. As Stephens put it, “that’s when it all clicked that they are really afraid of her.”
" I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen,” Jackson Lee once said, and apparently she wasn’t kidding.
Her employees describe waiting for their boss for hours on end, sometimes late into the night, while she attends events or even sits in her office watching TV.
“You worked really, really, really late for her. When she was in town, you were in the office. So that meant, two, three, four o’clock in the morning – we were there,” one former staffer said.
Jackson Lee’s designated driver picks her up at her apartment one block from her office each morning and waits for her outside wherever she goes throughout the days and nights.
“Whatever time she told me to be there, I would always show up at least 20 minutes late, and expect to wait at least 45 minutes,” said one of Jackson Lee’s drivers. By the end of this person’s tenure, “She was making me wait in the car, sometimes upwards of five to seven hours per day.” With the car running for heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer, it began to wear down the car’s engine. “My mechanic friend said, you know, your car looks like you’ve driven it twice the miles you have,” the source said.
~ snipet ~
Her former drivers say the congresswoman demanded they run red lights and drive on highway shoulders around traffic. This caused at least one accident. As Jackson Lee was yelling at a staffer to drive faster she turned too sharply, smashing the side of her car into a wall.
Garlic - Jackson Lee’s requests don’t stop at the end of a normal working day. “In the middle of the night, people had to go get her garlic. She’ll call you at two in the morning for garlic because she takes them as supplements,” a former staffer said. Jackson Lee’s garlic runs were confirmed by other staffers

Eric Holder Gives Thugs Carte Blanche to Continue Their Behavior: Black Panther Case Focus Demeans 'my people'
Bartle Bull interview, Fox News, July 1, 2010, Megyn Kelly interview, J Christian Adams
Megyn Kelly of Fox News interviews Bartle Bull after her interviews of J. Christian Adams. Mr. Bull, a lifelong Democrat and witness to the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation in 2008, was asked about the Adams resignation and statements and actions of the US Justice Dept. He also stated that he did not vote for Obama because he considered him a hustler.
Notice how he is a life long democrat but he is so disgusted he has had enough. I posted this back in July of last year.

Eric Holder: Black Panther case focus demeans 'my people'
March 1, 2011
Attorney General Eric Holder finally got fed up Tuesday with claims that the Justice Department went easy in a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party because they are African American.
Holder's frustration over the criticism became evident during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing as Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) accused the Justice Department of failing to cooperate with a Civil Rights Commission investigation into the handling of the 2008 incident in which Black Panthers in intimidating outfits and wielding a club stood outside a polling place in Philadelphia.
The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.
"Think about that," Holder said. "When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people," said Holder, who is black.
Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.
"To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, and to say that the Black Panther incident wrong thought it might be somehow is greater in magnitude or is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history and the facts.," Holder said with evident exasperation.
In a series of questions and comments earlier in the hearing, Culberson insisted that race had infected the decision-making process. "There’s clearly evidence, overwhelming evidence, that your Department of Justice refuses to protect the rights of anybody other than African Americans to vote," the Texas Republican said. "There's a pattern of a double standard here."
“I would disagree very vehemently with the notion that there’s overwhelming evidence that that is in fact true,” Holder replied. “This Department of Justice does not enforce the law in a race-conscious way.”
Rep. Chaka Fattah, a Democrat from Philadelphia, said the Black Panthers "should not have been there." But he said the GOP was making too much out of a fleeting incident involving a couple of people.
"The most unethical thing a person can do is make allegations based on absolutely nothing," Fattah said. "The only issue of race is singling out this particular decision...That this rises to national significance is bogus on its face."
Wild Thing's comment........
“my people” .... hmmmmm RACIST much??!!
So any injustice against non-blacks has to measure up to that done to blacks in the past. Is that the standard?
So, as an American, I'm not one of your people, first and foremost? Glad we understand your priorities now. Now we know that you're an abject racist and why you protected the Black Panthers.
I remember when Ross Perot addressed a black audience as “you people.” There was quite a kerfluffel about that.
Let's see if there will be one about Eric oops I mean Black Panther Eric Holder.
The truth shall set you free...’my people’
Of course he is no differnet than Obama.

Wisconsin GOP Senator Glenn Grothman chased, trapped by hecklers
Wisconsin GOP Senator Glenn Grothman chased, trapped by hecklers, mobbed by a group of left-wing union protesters as he is trying to enter the Wisconsin Capitol. The incident ended "peacefully" with the assistance of Democrat Brett Hulsey.

Why didn’t he have security? This is scary and concerning.
I have heard that GOP Senator Glenn Grothman is a quiet guy but he’s absolutely fearless . drives around in a car with the license plate TAX CUTR. And he also calls in to talk radio shows a lot to talk to the voters that call in.

Democratic Assemblyman Gordon Hintz Should Be Punished For His Threat!!
GOP Rep. Michelle Litjens talks to Fox News about the death threat she received from her Democrat colleague Gordon Hintz.
Litjens says that Hintz pointed at her and said, “You are f***ing dead,” just after the vote to engross the bill that slashes union collective bargaining powers. Litjens said she didn’t necessarily take it as a threat on her life, but she added that she was definitely “intimidated” and “shaken up.”
Litjens did say that Rep. Gordon Hintz called to apologize, but only after the incident made it into the news. She said she will forgive Hintz as a person, but added that “something needs to be done about this so that it doesn’t happen in the future.”
Wiild Thing's comment.......
These threats from the LEFT and they are all from the left need to be delt with harshly. They don't get shown in the media, maybe on Fox, but no where else.But somehow there should be some kind of punishment when a person is threatened like this. Make the politician suspended for 6 months or something, 6 months of not being able to get paid, vote on anything......something. We are told they misspoke, or did not mean it or where kidding. Yeah right it meant nothing. Until when????...... until some freak out there that supports the jerk that made the threat takes it seriously and wants to show support to their person on the LEFT and do some horrible thing??????

Fox News Reporter Assaulted By Union Thug Protesters In Wisconsin
Fox News reporter Mike Tobin gets heckled and hit by pro-union protesters during a live broadcast in Madison, Wisconsin. The protesters chanted “Fox News lies” and covered up the cameras to try to prevent Tobin from being able to do his job.
FOX reporter discussing with Geraldo about the HATE he sees in the faces and eyes and how they tell him they hate him.
“One thing I think should make clear – the people coming after us from every live shot here, these people hate,” Tobin said. “These are people who don’t respect diverse viewpoints. In fact, they’re so afraid I’ll present a diverse viewpoint, that’s why they try to heckle me and shut down every live shot. They’ve made it clear, that what they want to make it harder for me to do my job. They are proud of that when they disrupt a live shot, when they really trample over the First Amendment rights or the First Amendment’s obligations of a reporter. Now, I am not saying that’s all of the people. Those are the people that come here and heckle and try to disrupt things. I look in their eyes – there is hate in their eyes. They don’t want to hear any kind of viewpoint that is different from their own. That’s why they do what they do.”
Whenever one of these nut jobs is asked exactly what Fox News lies about, none can come up with a clear answer.

I suspect Geraldo wasn't thrilled with Tobin's reporting. Rivera has been in "solidarity" with the protesters since the get-go.
The Union goons think everyday Americans stand with them - they are in for one rude awakening.
The left may pretend to be for civil rights and free speech and rights but all they want is control, money forcibly taken by taxation, and the ability to suppress the free speech of those they disagree with.

"Racist" Baa Baa Black Sheep Put Out to Pasture ~ Good Grief
"Racist" Baa Baa Black Sheep put out to pasture
Black sheep are on the endangered species list as some children in north Queensland learn to sing Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep.
The English nursery rhyme may have survived for 200-plus years but political correctness could finally put it out to pasture.
Some schools in Britain have banned the song for being racist, but Pelicans Innisfail Child Care allows children to sing about black sheep or rainbow sheep.
Director Pam McLaughlin said some teachers sang the changed lyrics, and some children already knew the changes.
"We just go with whatever the children want," Ms McLaughlin said.
"The kids are just singing and having fun. Some sing black sheep, some sing rainbow sheep. It's just a song.
"We don't have anything that says, 'You have to sing it this way'."
The BBC reported in 2000 that Birmingham City Council had banned the song for being racist. It was later overturned after a backlash from parents.
The council said it had obtained the guidelines, which stated: "The history behind the rhyme is very negative and also very offensive to black people, due to the fact that the rhyme originates from slavery".
Six years later in 2006, a nursery in Sutton Courtenay in Britain banned the nursery rhyme.
In other examples, the principal of a school in NSW last year adapted the lyrics from Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree so children would say how happy, rather than gay, his life must be.
In 2009 the Birmingham council took creative licence to change the ending of Humpty Dumpty from couldn't "put Humpty together again" to "made Humpty happy again".
Golliwog dolls have been taken off shelves because of racism concerns and passages have been removed from Enid Blyton books because of perceived homosexual undertones between Noddy and Big Ears.
Australian National University social psychologist Michael Platow said he doubted Baa Baa Black Sheep would teach racism.
"I don't know why a child would associate a black sheep with a black man," he said.
The Office of Early Childhood Education and Care associate director-General Zea Johnston said no direction had been given and centres were responsible for their own education programs.
Pelicans has indigenous and non-indigenous children, and recognises diversity. Children play with white dolls, darker-skinned dolls and dolls of both sexes.
Ms McLaughlin said she thought changing the lyrics was a bit confusing for children. "You can get a black sheep but you can't get a rainbow sheep."

Wild Thing's comment.......
Let's see there are black Lab’s or black horses or black whatever. Are they going to ban the word ‘black’ because it’s racist color ????? And what if someone blacks out??? Will Black be left out of the crayon box??? Will blackboard be called “rainbow” board?
Do these morons ever realize how ridiculous they look with this nonsense?
These people are beyond belief.
Pappy isn't going to be too happy about this.

Union Thugs At Union Solidarity Rally Against Gov. Scott Walker
An angry union member yelling at the top of his lungs at the Maryland solidarity union rally against Gov. Scott Walker and his common sense policies.
.
The eruption starts at 7:32 in this video..........Assault on Innocent Cameraman.......An unhinged union goon attacked a reporter in Rhode Island screaming, “I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot”
Assault on an innocent cameraman by an 'alleged' union member at the Rhode Island Statehouse on February 22, 2011. this was an unprovoked attack on a citizen documenting the rally for public access TV in Rhode Island. One of many unprovoked attacks that day.
The cameraman who was accosted in the video is Adam Cole. He works for “We the People of Rhode Island,” a public access TV show in Rhode Island. Another witness and citizen journalist at the rally who had a video camera, Randy Swanson of Oathkeepers-Rhode Island, filmed the confrontation.
.
“The Tea Party is a bunch of dick-sucking corporate butt-lickers who want to crush the working people of this country.”
And he’s just getting started.
This video was shot on 2/17/2011 in the Rotunda of the Ohio Statehouse. It chronicles Union member intimidation tactics used in their opposition of SB5 which, if passed, will help to straighten out Ohio's ailing budget mess and also align inflated Union salaries and benefit packages with the lesser compensated private sector.

Wild Thing's comment........
Never...Not once... did any camera or reporter find or hear a Tea Party supporter - at any rally, use such derogatory, vulgar language. You know me pretty well, I am not a prude, I don't care if someone uses the F word, heck I have used it sometimes on here. That is not a big deal to me, but what these union people are saying is beyond that kind of thing.
Whew these people are actually scary.

I have to wonder if they actually thought they were spelling these mistakes correctly. Because they are Union and imo that does not mean they are the best if they were then why are there so many children that cannot spell or even read in the 8th grade or highschool.

Megyn Kelly Confronts Milwaukee Union President Over ‘Sick’ Teachers
During an interview Tuesday, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly repeatedly tried to nail down an answer on whether Milwaukee Teachers Union president Mike Langyel condoned teachers using fake medical excuses to get out of work to attend protests in Madison.
But when the union prez refused to address her question directly and suggested her question was “the wrong one to be asking,” Kelly laid down the law, reminding Langyel of his role as her show’s guest.
“For better or for worse, I’m the anchor and you’re the guest,” she said. “So I’ll come up with the questions and you can answer them or not.”
Wild Thing's comment......
God bless Megyn!!! Go Megyn! That fool was a complete tool….a very useless one however!
The unions are so out of control in this country. Governor Walker is doing a great thing for America.
I love when Megyn Kelly thunders away on people. Many of them forget she’s an attorney and has plenty of experience asking the questions especially from hostile “witnesses” in corporate law.
This guy is guilty of condoning fraud on the part of the doctors who gave the notes and the teachers using those notes. All parties should lose their licenses and jobs. Fraud is fraud regardless of ones intentions. A union boss dodging questions should be nothing new.

Statement Regarding UW Health Physicians
There are reports on both social media and news websites that a number of UW Health physicians were signing "medical excuse" notes for protesters at the Capitol on Feb. 19. This involves a few individuals out of the nearly 1,300 physicians at UW Health.
These UW Health physicians were acting on their own and without the knowledge or approval of UW Health. These charges are very serious and in response, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and University of Wisconsin Medical Foundation, the UW Health entities that employ the physicians, have immediately launched an investigation of the reported behavior.
The investigation will identify which UW Health physicians were involved and whether their behavior constituted violations of medical ethics or University of Wisconsin and UW Health policies and work rules. The investigation and any potential future action will follow the established procedures of the University of Wisconsin. Any future disciplinary action taken will be considered a personnel matter and will be treated with the confidentiality required by University of Wisconsin policies.
Wild Thing's comment........
I wonder if they really will enforce any laws or not about these doctors. I would think the doctor as well as the person using the fake note would be in serious trouble. They are guilty of fraud or at least conspiracy to commit fraud.

Michigan Union ‘Outsources’ Protesters; Hires Homeless to Picket
The Mackinac Center for Public Policy discovers that the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters uses non-union labor to protest a Grand Rapids area businessman. What's worse, the union has even recruited demonstrators who frequent local homeless shelters, including a shelter which gets help from the very same businessman targeted by the union.

Wild Thing's comment.....
Another reason why Rush refers to them as a rent-a-mob.
I’m convinced their are no depths to which union bosses will not sink.
For one thing, their union members obviously are too lazy to go out and picket themselves or why would they have to go and pay these homless people to hold signs and protest with them.
Secondly what also REALLY ticks me off is how twice with obama he has given OUR tax dollars to the Unions and what for????? So they can have millions to use to run campaigns against Republican's. I have posted about the stimulus for unions before as have other blogs. It is unforgivable that we have to be used like this!!!!!

Madison Police Detain Union Pperative Who Tried To Destroy Tea Party Sound System
The Daily Caller
MADISON, Wisc.
Police officers in Madison detained and subsequently released a labor union operative who attempted, somewhat successfully, to destroy the speaker system at the Tea Party counter rally Saturday.
Police would not release the name of the man, or any more details, but eyewitnesses told The Daily Caller he ripped the wiring out of several different speaker systems. Part of the sound system went out for about five minutes.
When a Tea Partier, Luke Bacher, confronted the man ripping the speaker wiring out, Bacher said the man physically assaulted him. That caused police to get involved and detain the union operative.

Gov. Scott Walker: GOP "Will Not Be Intimidated"
Governor Walker responded to Obama:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker talks about the protests and how they won’t allow the outrageous rhetoric of the Left to intimidate them. He even noted that union protesters arrived at his house a few days ago and the police had to shut the street down.
“I think we’re focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the president and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budget, which they’re a long ways from doing,” Walker told Fox News.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker: "If anything, I think [the Democrats' decision to leave the state has] made the Republicans in the Assembly and the Senate stronger. They're not going to be bullied, they're not going to be intimidated. I've said all along, the thousands of people who are storming the capitol have every right to be heard, but I'm not going to let them overshadow the voices of the millions of taxpayers from the state of Wisconsin who deserve to be heard as well."

Texas Governor Rick Perry released this statement yesterday in support of Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin.
Friend,
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is in the middle of what will be a defining moment for our country and the conservative movement.
Governor Walker is directly confronting unsustainable state entitlements by asking government-sector unions to agree to reforms that would limit collective-bargaining for most government-sector employees to wages only, with wages capped to inflation. Under his proposal, union members would also have to vote every year to keep their union.
Rather than debate the measure Thursday, Wisconsin Democrat state senators fled the state while thousands of teachers in Madison and other cities called in sick at the urging of their labor union and forced entire school districts to be closed.
Even President Barack Obama’s political operatives have helped to orchestrate protests.
Simply put, the stakes could not get much higher, which is why I am asking you to show your support for Governor Scott Walker today by clicking HERE.
It is essential that we stand with Governor Walker and show political leaders throughout the country that America is ready to take on its toughest political challenges, and we will not be deterred by the protests of a noisy minority.
Please CLICK HERE right now to show your support for Governor Walker.
Sincerely,
Gov. Rick Perry

AWOL Wisconsin Democrat Calls CNN With List Of Demands
AWOL Wisconsin Democrat calls CNN with list of demands
State Senator Mark Miller, a member of the missing band of Wisconsin Democratic lawmakers who fled Madison Thursday to avoid a vote on a budget bill, called into CNN with the group’s list of demands for Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
Miller, a state senator since 2004, would not disclose where he and his colleagues were hiding out, saying only “we are in what we consider a secure location outside the capital. We are not all in one place at this time.”
Miller’s demands focused on the collective bargaining portions of the bill.
“We demand that the provisions that completely eliminate the ability of workers… to negotiate on a fair basis with their employers be removed from the budget repair bill and any other future budget,” Miller said.
He also demanded legislative oversight on changes to the state’s medical programs, which are targeted for changes in the bill. The bill would also require union members to contribute to their health care and pensions.
Miller and 13 other Democrats went missing Thursday morning when a vote on a budget-repair measure was imminent in the Republican-controlled Senate. It would have passed the Senate after getting out of committee on a party-line vote late last night, so Democrats left the building to stall a vote on the measure.
Asked by a CNN reporter why he and the Democrats weren’t doing their jobs, he countered by saying Walker had moved the bill too fast.
“We will return to do our job, but the governor has to do his job,” Miller said. “He has to engage in responsible negotiations with the interested parties and he failed to do so. . . We need to be able to enter into a responsible dialogue and not one that is such a sham.”
Asked about the deficit the state is facing, Miller said Walker is ignoring the economy’s recovery, which makes reigning in union benefits unnecessary.
“The economy’s recovering and the governor is completely ignoring the fact that we have a . . . recovery going,” Miller said. “The only thing that hasn’t recovered has been the rate of unemployment.”
Wild Thing's comment.....

Rhetoric vs. Reality: Liberal Protest of Gov. Walker's Budget Repair Plan
Police officers are looking for Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers who were ordered to attend a vote on a bill that would strip public employees of collective bargaining rights.
No Democrats showed up for Thursday’s Senate session, meaning a vote cannot be taken. Republicans need one Democratic senator to be present. Calls to Democratic leaders were not immediately returned.
Republicans are pushing the anti-union bill proposed by GOP Gov. Scott Walker. Thousands of people clogged the halls of the Statehouse for a third straight day in opposition.
Rent-a-mobs were fully activated and marched on Gov. Walker’s home.
The illegally striking teachers have succeeded in shutting down schools in Madison, Wisc. and seven other districts for a second consecutive day.
Madison public schools are closed again Thursday because too many teachers are taking the day off to protest Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to limit union bargaining.
Several other school districts in the area have also canceled classes Thursday.
It’s the second consecutive day the Madison Metropolitan School District has canceled classes “due to substantial concerns about staff absences.”
The district said it has received reports Wednesday evening that there will again be significant staff absences in the district on Thursday in protest of the governor’s proposed changes in labor law.
Superintendent Dan Nerad said teachers who are taking a sick day will be asked to show proof of a medical reason.
Obama and the DNC playing role in Wisconsin protests
and
The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America arm – the remnant of the 2008 Obama campaign — is playing an active role in organizing protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights.
Obama voices strong support for Wisconsin public employees: With the standoff continuing to rage over Governor Scott Walker's push to strip public employees of bargaining rights, Obama has now waded into the debate, denouncing Walker's proposal as an "assault on unions."
In an interview with local WTMJ-TV which is now up online, Obama said we all need to "make some adjustments to new fiscal realities," but insisted it's important not to "vilify" public employees and described them as "our neighbors, our friends":
"Some of what I've heard coming out of Wisconsin, where you're just making it harder for public employees to collectively bargain generally seems like more of an assault on unions. And I think it's very important for us to understand that public employees, they're our neighbors, they're our friends. These are folks who are teachers and they're firefighters and they're social workers and they're police officers.
"They make a lot of sacrifices and make a big contribution. And I think it's important not to vilify them or to suggest that somehow all these budget problems are due to public employees."

Democrat Union Marxists/Communists Target Speaker John Boehner's Capitol Hill Residence
Group targets Speaker Boehner’s home in D.C.
When did demonstrating at the private homes of politicians or corporate executives become an acceptable way to voice one’s political opinions?
Nearly two dozen activists from DC Vote swarmed House Speaker John Boehner’s Capitol Hill residence at 7:30 Thursday morning, chanting “Don’t tread of D.C.” and “No taxation without representation” to protest congressional “meddling” in the District’s local affairs, in particular a House continuing budget resolution that would cut $80 million in federal payments and prohibit the city from using local funds to pay for needle exchange programs and abortions
“Speaker Boehner is coming to our home telling us how to spend our money,” Ilir Zherka, the group’s executive director, told his followers. “We decided to come to his house to tell him to leave D.C. alone.”
After Capitol Police officers blocked their way by using bikes to erect a makeshift barricade, the protestors remained outside Boehner’s home for more than an hour.

These Wisconsin Teachers Should Be Fired! Teachers USE Their Students in Protest
At The John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy: llegally striking teachers from Madison East High School students dragged hundreds of students to their union protests at the Wisconsin Capitol yesterday. “But they knew they were just happy to be out of class. See this raw video from today’s government union rally in opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill:”
Many of the hundreds of Madison East High School students didn’t know why their teachers brought them to the union protests at the Wisconsin Capitol Tuesday.
But they knew they were just happy to be out of class.
See this raw video above from today’s government union rally in opposition to Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill.
Milwaukee Public Schools Orders Teachers Not to Skip School for Rallies (Protests in Wisconsin)
Milwaukee Public Schools on Tuesday sent a district-wide email that ordered teachers and other employees not to skip school to attend rallies protesting Governor Walker's controversial budget bill.
"For the remainder of this week, monitor and record requests for absence, date and time received, notice of request and reason," the email read. "Any staff member who is absent without prior approval is to be coded AWOL (Code 91). Principals are not to approve absence for personal reasons (code 23 or code 69) during the next three days."
32 Rufus King High School teachers called in sick Tuesday morning as thousands of public workers rallied in Madison and in smaller events across Wisconsin against Walker's proposal to eliminate most collective bargaining rights for most state employees. A source told Newsradio 620 WTMJ that the school was caught so shorthanded by the absences that it had to use support staff such as security guards as substitute teachers.
"Those teachers all gave different reasons for why they would be out," said MPS spokesperson Roseann St. Aubin. "So we can't say that this was in any way a planned event, but we know what is going on over in Madison and we chose to act preemptively to prevent any coordinated actions by people who might be affected by this bill and are emotional."
"But our function is to educate our children, and to do that we need to have our teachers in their classrooms."
St. Aubin declined to elaborate on the type of punishment teachers who called in sick this week would face, saying that the district would handle any personnel matters on a case-by-case basis and hand out an appropriate punishment.

"Jack Wagon" RINO John McCain Says He Isn’t Going to Support ANY GOP Candidates in 2012
Sen. John McCain will not back Sarah Palin for president
Arizona U.S. Senator John McCain says he will not be backing any of the potential Republican presidential candidates as they look to defeat President Barack Obama in the 2012 election.
“I think I’m staying out of this for the first time in many years,” Mr. McCain told Politico on Thursday.
The comment comes as Mr. McCain returned from a one on one meeting with President Obama at the White House. The Arizona Republican said he viewed the meeting as a sign of increasing bipartisanship on Capitol Hill, adding that his meeting with the president was “cordial” and that Mr. Obama has become more of a “centrist.”
The announcement is likely a blow for former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Ms. Palin, who ran with Mr. McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign, likely stood to benefit the most from a potential McCain endorsement.
The announcement that the Arizona U.S. Senator will not back a 2012 Republican presidential candidate comes as a number of potential Republican presidential candidates ramp up their schedules. It is expected a that a number of potential candidates will officially announce their candidacy in the upcoming weeks.
Wild Thing's comment.......
First the title of the article is stupid, because he goes on to say more then not backing Palin if she runs, he states he will not be backing ANY Republican that runs in 2012. Of course he won't he has been in love with Obama all the way back to when he ran for president. I never saw anyone try so hard NOT to get elected as we saw coming from traitor John McCain.
He is ia registered Republican, his party elected him again which does not speak well for AZ. Hello AZ. get a brain!
John McCain is a backstabbing, reptilian, treasonous, McRINO ingrate. Even during McCain’s campaign for the presidency he never stopped backing obama! So he will be voting for obama again.

Chris Matthews Thinks The Panama Canal Is In Egypt
Chris Mattews describes the great things about Egypt including the Panama Canal
CHRIS MATTHEWS: You know, the great thing about Egypt is it’s its own country. It was always there before there was an America or Britain or anything, there has been an Egypt. It’s like China. It’s a real country. It wasn’t just carved off the map or out of the map by the Europeans, like so many African and third world countries have.
It’s got a real rooted history. It’s not just an Arab country. It was a country long before it was an Arab country — long before Islam, there was an Egypt. Will it see itself in this moment of chaos as joining a greater Islamic world or is holding to its national identity?
AMB. MARC GINSBERG, FMR. U.S. AMBASSADOR TO MOROCCO (via telephone)GINSBERG: There’s no doubt that the Egyptians view themselves as the center of culture in the Arab and the Muslim world and the center of Islamic learning. I studied there. I used to take classes at the al-Azhar University, which is considered to be the pre-eminent Islamic institution in the Muslim world, Chris.
MATTHEWS: Right.
GINSBERG: And the fact is that there’s enormous pride going back to the history of the pharaohs. The Egyptians embrace their ancient culture. But they’re very dissatisfied with their current regime.
MATTHEWS: Well, let me ask you about the prospects we’re looking at as an American. We’re looking at the map of the world right now and where Egypt sits in the world. It’s so strategically located. It has, of course, the Nile River. It has, of course, the Panama Canal.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
The Panama Canal is in Egypt now? Shhh! Don’t tell China!
LOL and he had the map right there. hahahaha
This tool had the nerve to call Michele Bachmann names and treat her like she was stupid.
And imagine his furor if Sarah Palin had made this mistake on Fox. Of course he mis-spoke, but when Sarah Palin makes a slip in her interview with Glenn Beck when she called “North Korea” our allies, the left gets all excited about it and calls her an idiot for not knowing the difference between North and South.
Well, two can play the same game!

RINO Meghan McCain (desperate man’s last resort) : Bachmann a "Poor Man's Sarah Palin"
Meghan McCain appeared on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’ Donnell and tried her best to grill Michelle Bachmann by referring to her as a “poor man’s Sarah Palin.”
She said:
I think it’s important to note that Michelle Bachmann is not a leader, and she’s not the leader of the Republican party. Michelle Bachmann in my opinion is no better than a poor man’s Sarah Palin and I think the fact that MSNBC and Fox elected not to run this is admirable to the kind of journalism that Fox and MSNBC is airing. I think CNN should be ashamed of themselves for airing this. This is one rogue woman who couldn’t even look into the camera directly. I take none of it seriously, and I think if the Tea Party wants to put a candidate up for a response why don’t they have someone like Rand Paul who was elected on the Tea Party platform give that.
Wild Thing's comment......
What an empty headed whatever it is she is. Meghan is a female Keith Olberman.
What did Meghan do to become a constantly quoted celebrity ? Nothing! If she was not RINO McCain's daughter the media would not want to hear her mouth yakking.
Just like her Dad:
"The president, I think, has learned a lot in the last two years as any president does. He is a very intelligent man. I think he's doing a lot of right things,"--John McCain, speaking on CBS's "Face the Nation", Jan 23, 2011

Court Tosses Emanuel Off Chicago Mayoral Ballot
(Bloomberg) -- Rahm Emanuel, the former chief of staff for President Barack Obama, is to be "excluded" from the Chicago mayoral ballot after a state appeals court reversed a finding that he is a resident of the city. Bloomberg's Lizzie O'Leary reports on Bloomberg Television's "Fast Forward."
The committee ruled that Emanuel could be on the ballot, and the lower court upheld that decision, The Appellate Court decision did not overturn the committee ruling, it overturned the lower court ruling. The effect is the same, but procedurally the case had to go through the circuit court before it reached the Appellate Court.
Wild Thing's comment.......
bwahahahaha.... I sure hope this sticks. I am so sick of how the left has such a total double standard.
The Judges are going to need to have someone else start their cars.
To me the killer was when he stopped paying Illinois income taxes. If he had truly stayed a resident he would have paid the taxes, but he decided that he had officially moved to Washington in 2009.
How about Neil Abercrombie? He could testify he saw Rahm living in Chicago at “social events”. heh heh

Monument of George Washington Concealed at Annual MLK Day Rally
The monument of George Washington was concealed from the crowd during the annual King Day at the Dome rally.
The NAACP says no insult to Washington was intended - the three-sided structure that covered the front and sides of the statue was intended to display a rally graphic.

Sickening and there is NO excuse for this to be done....NONE!
Perhaps if the history of the making of this country and the founding fathers was taught in school,the true story,not the Progressives' version,people might not so casually cover up their statues,like the progressives have tried to cover up these amazing men and the genius of the Constitution they gave to us.

DNC Announces New Executive Director Associated with ACORN
DNC announces new executive director associated with ACORN
In a letter Thursday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine announced that he had selected Patrick Gaspard to serve as the political party’s new executive director.
The selection is certain to draw criticism from conservatives because of Gaspard’s past association with activist organization ACORN.
Gaspard’s role in the Obama machine has been a target of conservative criticism .
Gaspard donated thousands of dollars to ACORN, The American Spectator has reported, and worked for New York’s Working Families Party and labor union SEIU.
Kaine wrote in the letter, “He understands the importance of grassroots politics and team building… Working together, I am confident that we can protect the progress of the past two years, achieve important electoral victories in 2011 and 2012.”
Gaspard is currently working as the Obama administration’s director of the Office of Political Affairs.

PC Gone Wild As CNN's John King Apologizes For Guest Using Word "Crosshairs"
CNN's John King is attracting a lot of notice -- and some ridicule -- in the blogosphere for his on-air apology after a guest used the word "crosshairs" during a report on Chicago politics Tuesday. (The guest, a former Chicago reporter, referred to two rivals of mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel, saying Emanuel is "in both of their crosshairs.") "We were just having a discussion about the Chicago mayoral race," King told viewers. "My friend Andy Shaw…used the term 'in the crosshairs' in talking about the candidates out there. We're trying, we're trying to get away from that language. Andy is a good friend, he's covered politics for a long time, but we're trying to get away from using that kind of language. We won't always be perfect, so hold us accountable when we don't meet your standards."
Wild Thing's comment........
Hahahahaha Good grief! Good thing CNN canceled “CROSSFIRE” or there would be WAY too much hypocrisy goin’ on.
It's a METAPHOR! They are harmless, and used everywhere every day. Some corporations have a WAR ROOM where they go to discuss important strategies. Football teams DO BATTLE on the gridiron. The left continues to attempt to exercise complete control over the language, so that they can exercise complete control over our lives.
Our language is full of terms that originated in warfare.
Get over yourself, already!

Two Bit Politican Hiding Behind a Badge Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik
Dupnik acknowledged in a sit-down interview with Washington Post reporters Sari Horwitz and David Nakamura this week. He said talk show host Rush Limbaugh encouraged listeners to email the sheriff's office and "tell them what you think" and the department's computers nearly crashed after angry emails began flooding in.
As the Post's Peter Wallsten wrote last week Dupnik, 75, who has been the sheriff for three decades, is no stranger to controversy. He loudly opposed Arizona's strict new immigration laws, calling them "racist."
Wild Thing's comment......
LOL too funny. This Sheriff has real problems. He is using his office, his job as a political soap box. I never saw a Sheriff do that before.
I personally hope that there is an investigation on his entire department over him. His bias is very telling. I think there is a great chance there has been an obstruction of justice in the past, and it is the reason why this shooter was not investigated when he made his past threats.

Disgusting DEMOCRAT Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) Says GOP Like Goebbels, Nazis in Health Care Debate
“They say it’s a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels. You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That’s the same kind of thing, blood libel. That’s the same kind of thing,” Cohen said. “The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it – -believed it and you have the Holocaust. We heard on this floor, government takeover of health care. Politifact said the biggest lie of 2010 was a government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover.”
Rep. Steve Cohen stands by ‘Nazi’ comments
Tennessee Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen stood by comments he made on the House floor late Tuesday night in which he used a Nazi comparison to discuss Republicans who call the health care law a “government takeover,” but insisted he was making a point about lying, not trying to insinuate that Republicans were Nazis.
“It wasn’t about Nazis, it was about lies,” Cohen told The Daily Caller Wednesday. “The biggest liar, the biggest political liar was Goebbels. Politifact called this the biggest lie of the year. If you don’t stand up and say lies are lies, they stand for the truth. Somebody has to come out and say they’re lies. Politifact did and I cited Politifact. I have no problem with that.”

Gloves Come Off on Oversight Panel as DEMOCRAT Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) Makes Demands
Gloves come off on Oversight panel as Dem calls for no 'silly' Obama probes
The gloves are coming off on the House committee that will be at the center of Republican attempts to investigate the Obama administration.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, took a jab at his Republican counterpart this week, calling for serious investigations rather than probes that are “silly or absurd.”
Cummings made the remark in a letter to Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Monday spelling out his goals for the committee in the new Congress. He said the panel needs to hold the government accountable while also heeding President Obama's call to elevate political discourse in the wake of the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.)
“I want to join you in conducting responsible oversight to ensure accountability in government and effective operation of our nation’s laws,” Cummings wrote. “I also agree with President Obama’s statement last week that ‘a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to the challenges of our nation.’ Together, I hope we can elevate the level of discourse not only on our Committee, but across the nation."
In the letter, Cummings also questioned Issa's use of taxpayer funds for unofficial committee activities, which was reported in a New Yorker profile released this week. The article mentions a “highly organized” effort to manage Issa’s image, which aides refer to as “Issa Enterprises.” Another effort, which aides call “Oversight Productions,” refers to a series of Youtube videos Issa links to his Twitter account and official website.
“As Ranking Member, my goals are straightforward: I want the Committee to engage in oversight that is regarded as serious rather than dismissed as silly or absurd; to establish strong predicates for investigations rather than making unsubstantiated allegations that waste taxpayer funds; to use Committee resources to inform and educate the American people rather than attacking opponents; and to conduct comprehensive, balanced investigations that seek out the truth rather than launching one-sided inquiries designed to fulfill predetermined outcomes,” Cummings wrote.
Never one to let an attack go unanswered, Issa’s office punched back Tuesday and accused Cummings of obstructionism and failing to be a “serious” oversight partner.
“Congressman Towns and Congresswoman Maloney were pushed aside in order to have the most effective obstructionist as Ranking Member,” said Issa spokesman Frederick Hill. “This letter and other statements have only underscored concerns that Ranking Member Cummings is not interested in being a serious partner on oversight.”
The letter is the latest in a series of early jabs between Issa and Cummings. When it became clear that Issa would chair the panel, Democratic leaders pushed Reps. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) out of the top Democratic post because he had not been aggressive countering Issa while serving as chairman for the past few years. Democrats also passed up Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) in favor of Cummings, for similar reasons — out of fear that she would not be able to effectively go toe to toe with Issa.
Ever since Republicans won back the majority, the media spotlight has fallen squarely on Issa and his plans to investigate all corners of the Obama administration.
This week, Issa announced that his first investigation on the Oversight Committee would be of a Homeland Security Department policy that requires political appointees to review many Freedom of Information Act requests.
Wild Thing's comment........
Fight back Issa!
Here is what I have to say to Democrat Cummings!!! You morons had the government wrapped around your socialist fingers and.....you blew it all. You lost, our side won. Take a hike, deadbeat Democrat!!!
Repeat after me Chairman Issa: it’s the seriousness of the charge...
Congressman Cummins & his Media pals will choke on that one.

2 Senators Agree To Sit Together For Obama's State of the Union Address ~ BAD IDEA!
2 Senators agree to sit together for Obama address
In a symbolic gesture toward more civil political discourse, Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer and Republican Sen. Tom Coburn said Sunday they will sit together at the upcoming State of the Union address.
Schumer says he and Coburn hope other lawmakers will follow their example and skip the partisan seating arrangements that usually come with joint sessions of Congress. Schumer says it’s a symbolic move but one he hopes will help set a more civil tone.
The State of the Union address is set for Jan. 25.
Wild Thing's comment........
Thereby validating the LIE that the Tucson shooter had anything to do with the political discourse.
And the GOP goes right along
Hmmmmm.....Are they gonna hold hands and sing Kumbaya, too?
Coburn is stupid for doing this!!! It signals a willingess to give the Dems what they want, and that the Republicans have no problem forgetting what 2010 election was about.
It is a democrat's idea to do this. Maybe so that when Obama gets to the scriped applause lines, it will look like the whole chamber is cheering.
I like the tradition of them sitting separately, and watching to see which parts of the speech get applauded by which sides?
I hope there is at least one GOP Senator that refuses to play along in this pathetic charade.

RHINO John McCain Calls Obama a 'Patriot,' Rejects Critics Who Say He's 'Unworthy' to Lead
McCain Calls Obama a 'Patriot,' Rejects Critics Who Say He's 'Unworthy' to Lead
Sen. John McCain lost a bitter campaign against Barack Obama in 2008 and has been at loggerheads with him for much of Obama's first two years in office. But the Arizona Republican this weekend called Obama a "patriot" intent on using his presidency to "advance our country's cause" and rejected accusations -- many coming from members of his own party and the tea party movement -- "that his policies and beliefs make him unworthy to lead America."
McCain made his comments in an article he wrote for The Washington Post opinion page, posted on Saturday, in which he praised Obama for giving a "terrific speech" in Tucson at a tribute for victims of the shooting rampage that took place there a week ago.
McCain said that Obama had "comforted and inspired the country" and performed an important service by encouraging "every American who participates in our political debates -- whether we are on the left or right or in the media -- to aspire to a more generous appreciation of one another and a more modest one of ourselves."
"Our political discourse should be more civil than it currently is, and we all, myself included, bear some responsibility for it not being so," McCain said.
~ snipet ~
McCain wrote that Obama had "appropriately disputed the injurious suggestion that some participants in our political debates were responsible for a depraved man's inhumanity."
But as the former GOP standard-bearer, McCain also spoke out against those who have sought to paint Obama's views as inimical to American ideals.
"I disagree with many of the president's policies, but I believe he is a patriot sincerely intent on using his time in office to advance our country's cause," McCain said. "I reject accusations that his policies and beliefs make him unworthy to lead America or opposed to its founding ideals. And I reject accusations that Americans who vigorously oppose his policies are less intelligent, compassionate or just than those who support them."

Tucson Tea Party Leader Threatened At ABC Taping, Democrat Eric Fuller In Audience Screams: ‘Trent Humphries You’re Dead!’
At the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.
According to sheriff’s deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, “You’re Dead.” He also claimed Beck, Palin, etc caused shooting .
Sarah Palin, House Speaker John Boehner, Fox TV host Glenn Beck and former Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle for the tragedy.
“It looks like Palin, Beck, Sharron Angle and the rest got their first target,” Eric Fuller said in an interview with Democracy NOW.
“I would put Sarah Palin in first place there. I think, really, she should be incarcerated for treason for advocating assassinating public officials,” Fuller said in an interview with Media Matters. “
.
.
ABC News held a town hall event yesterday in Tucson, Arizona. Local officials, friends and heroes were at the event. News anchor Christiane Amanpour was the host. ABC gathered members from the Tucson community to discuss the tragic shooting last Saturday that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and left 6 people dead.
State Representative Terri Proud was at the event sitting between Trent and the violent audience member. Terri was there to speak about the local gun laws. She described the scene:
Trent Humphries, the Pima County tea party leader, stood up to speak during the event. He was being very respectful. Trent told the audience that before we start placing blame on individuals we need to get all the facts. Trent then told everyone that one of those killed during the shooting was his neighbor and that he was affected like everyone else by the tragedy… While Trent was speaking- And it was planned that he would speak- One member in the audience and reportedly one of the victims of the tragedy started screaming, “Trent Humphries you’re dead!” The police immediately escorted him out. On his way out he screamed, “You’re all whores.”
Trent was finished with his statement and sat down. Terri said she was concerned since she was sitting right between Trent and this violent leftist. Trent sat down and ABC continued with the taping. Two police officers jumped in immediately to remove the violent leftist.
Trent Humphries has been receiving death threats all week since the national media and their leftist cohorts began blaming the tea party for the shooting by the leftwing pothead. Currently, government officials are checking his mail for him due to the threats.
The unhinged leftist J. Eric Fuller was arrested for threatening to kill a tea party leader live on national TV and was charged with with threats and intimidation.

Tucson Victim "Outraged" Giffords Was Shot
Eric Fuller was shot in Tucson Ariz. Saturday during the rampage Jared Loughner is accused of carrying out.
Fuller, 63, a military veteran, former limo driver and avid tennis player, is a strong supporter of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
He cut a tennis game short Saturday so he could hear her speak, only to be shot in the leg and hit in the back with bullet fragments. He drove himself to the hospital and was released Monday.
On "The Early Show" Tuesday, Fuller said he's "doing fine, physically. Miraculously, feeling very lucky. I'm outraged that someone like Gabrielle Giffords was attacked."
.
ABC isn’t reporting this “event” that occurred in THEIR OWN STUDIOS!!!???
ABC World News Reports Threat at its Tucson Town Hall Meeting, Omits That The Threat Was Made To a Tea Party Member
A survivor of last week's Tucson shootings issued a death threat to a Tea Party member Saturday in the middle of a taping for a town hall meeting to be aired on ABC's "This Week."
For some reason, ABC World News Saturday in its report about the gathering chose to omit the seriousness of the threat and that it was made to a Tea Partier. ABC's David Muir says "he mumbled what seems to be a threat"
.
Wild Thing's comment........
This is all very concerning!!!! Sheriff Dupnik is also responsible for this mess and Obama too with his "get ikn their face" and other threats he has made. .
Evidently this Fuller guy also tried to visit with the shooters’ parents:
Fuller told 12 News that he was there "to forgive them and possibly their son," but the couple wasn't home. The younger Loughner remains in jail and has been denied bail.

Pelosi Calls Tucson Murders an “Accident”…
Yesterday, on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, deposed Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D-Mars), called the deliberate and premeditated killing of six people – the Tucson massacre – an “accident.” Specifically, Madame said, quote:
“This resolution is a fitting tribute. It is a great resolution. Please, read it again and again. Carry those names in your heart. Remember, each of these people because, again, a tragic accident took lives, wounded people in the expression of ideas.”

Former Judge to AZ Sheriff: ‘Shut Up Before You Do Any More Damage to the Prosecution’s Case’
Rep. Louis Gohmert (R.-Texas), a former prosecutor and judge and a current member of the House Judiciary Committee, is offering some advice to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who has gained national attention since Saturday for his suggestions that radio and television talk shows were somehow responsible for the shooting attack in Tucson that took the lives of 6 people and wounded 14 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Says Rep. Gohmert to the sheriff: “Shut up before you do any more damage to the prosecution’s case.”
Former Judge to AZ Sheriff: ‘Shut Up Before You Do Any More Damage to the Prosecution’s Case’ At the Capitol on Wednesday, Gohmert told CNSNews.com, “As far as advice for the sheriff, you know, he’s an elected official. He’s an American. He’s not prohibited by law from making the ridiculous statements that he has that do more to help the defendant than they do anyone else, including the victims. And so, I know as a former prosecutor, my advice to the sheriff would be to shut up before you do any more damage to the prosecution’s case.”
“Quit helping the defendant, sheriff,” Gohmert said. “But if he wants to help the defendant, he’s elected by the local people, and he’s free to help the defendant with their defense, if that’s what he chooses to do. And then the people can decide in the next election if that’s the kind of sheriff they want.”
"My advice to him?" said Gohmert, "if I were his prosecutor" 'Stop destroying our case while we're still trying to investigate.' And, further, if you do some more investigation as much as you've been running off at the mouth, we're going to have an airtight case."
When speaking at a press conference on Jan. 8, the day of the shooting, Dupnik said that Arizona had become the “mecca for prejudice and bigotry” and that “the vitriolic rhetoric that we hear day in and day out from people in the radio business and some people in the TV business” should prompt America “to do a little soul-searching.”
Also, on Monday, Jan. 10, Dupnik told ABC News, "The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information, attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences. And I think he’s irresponsible.”
When asked by ABC’s Diane Sawyer if it was right to link that kind of rhetoric to the shooting, Dupnik said, “Of course.”
CNSNews.com asked Rep. Gohmert if he has seen any hard evidence linking accused shooter Jared Lee Loughner to talk radio hosts or to American politicians, as Sheriff Dupnik has suggested.
Gohmert said, “What I have read and seen more indications of were that apparently this guy hated the flag, loved Karl Marx and [Hitler’s] Mein Kampf and had been an atheist. So, obviously, if there'd been talk show people who have enflamed him, it may be people the sheriff listens to, but it’s certainly not Sarah Palin or Rush Limbaugh or people that the sheriff kept trying to point to. And you know, during my days as a judge, you start noticing when people like that stand up and start accusing without any evidence other people. Normally you have to start on, okay, this guys got something to hide.”
Gohmert continued: “There’s something underneath here for a law enforcement official to immediately come out, without any evidence whatsoever and, in fact, evidence being to the contrary of what he’s saying, must have something to hide. We need to look into that, you know, ‘What did he know before this all happened?’ Was this lashing out coming from a guilty conscience? He knew things that he should have acted on that would have saved lives?”
Regarding the shooting in Tucson, Gohmert also said he is concerned that people are talking about restricting political discourse and free speech.
“What concerns is when people start talking about putting a lid on debate and disputes and discussions even when they’re a bit heated,” he said, “because one of the things that’s made America great is the differences of opinion. Unless one of us has a 100 percent lock 100 percent of the time on God’s truth, then we ought to listen to each other. Debate’s a good thing.”
Gohmert continued: “It’s what the Founders wanted when they created not one body but two bodies and that wasn’t enough to create the kind of gridlock they hoped for. They created a president that would be elected from another manner, not like a prime minister, and they created a judicial branch that could also veto them. They wanted some gridlock because they didn’t want it to too easy to make laws. They wanted disagreement.”

Wild Thing's comment........
I sure like what this ( former Judge ) Rep. Louie Gohmert has said.
It was mentioned on FOX on Sunday (only once) that the mother of the shooter worked for this sheriff (with the county parks commission as some sort of parks manager) and got his record expunged so that he could join the Army.
Also interesting to note, it was a park police officer that stopped him (the shooter) for running a red light, three hours before the mass murder, and let him off with a warning.
It is my firm belief that Pima County Sheriff Dupnick is PURPOSELY trying to sabotage the prosecution's case as a way to cover his own incompetence. This man should be removed from his job and prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

DEMOCRAT Vice President Joe Biden: One more GOP budget gripe and "I am going to strangle them"
Biden: One more GOP budget gripe and 'I am going to strangle them'
Vice President Biden jokingly expressed his frustration toward Republicans on Tuesday, accusing them of having insincere concerns about the budget deficit.
Biden jokingly said that GOP protests about the need for a balanced budget made him want to strangle them, which the vice president quickly clarified was a figure of speech.
“If I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them,” Biden said at a fundraiser in Minnesota, according to a pool report. “To the press, that’s a figure of speech.”
Obama and other members of the administration have ridiculed Republicans as trying to have it both ways on budget issues. For all the GOP's complaints about the ballooning deficit over the past 20 months, Democrats charge, their plan to extend all tax cuts for top earners would add hundreds of billions to the debt.
“These guys have absolutely no credibility, no credibility on debt,” Biden said.
But Republicans argue that the administration has been reckless in its handling of the economy, pointing foremost to the administration's $787 billion stimulus plan, which Republicans assert has not created jobs at a massive cost to taxpayers.
Wild Thing's comment.......
Hello Biden, your democrats never presented a budget that I know of, so maybe you need to shut up and listen to what the Republicans have in mind.
If a Republican said that about strangle you can bet it would be huge with the MSM. The democrats KNOW the media will let them off the hook .

Arizona Newspaper To Sheriff Dupnik: "Get a grip! we have to say at last . . . enough. Enough attacks, sheriff. Enough vitriol "
Pima County sheriff should remember duty
On Saturday afternoon, with his friend Gabby Giffords in surgery fighting for her life, Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik railed against the tense partisan politics – “the anger, the hatred, the bigotry” – that prompted the mass murders outside Tucson, in his view.
And, jarring as such claims may be, we understood. Or tried to understand, despite the spectacle of a lawman – an official whose very job it is to dispassionately gather facts and to maintain order and calm – tying the attack on Rep. Giffords and others to political speech in Arizona, which he considers prejudiced and bigoted. There is no evidence that the state’s politics in any way contributed to this atrocity.
Was Dupnik unnecessarily inflammatory? It seemed so. But it came mere hours following a horrific, bloody mass murder. If you weren’t on edge, you weren’t being human. But then, on Sunday, the venting continued anew. And a horrified nation began paying closer attention to the Pima County sheriff.
The world’s eyes, once again, focused on Arizona for the worst of reasons. And Dupnik stood before the cameras interpreting the shootings as politically motivated, despite an increasing weight of evidence depicting the shooting suspect, Jared Loughner, as a mentally ill young man who rambled incoherently about pervasive bad grammar and other apolitical obsessions. Even Dupnik has observed that Loughner had made death threats against others and that they had been investigated by police.
Still, Dupnik used the opportunities to blame Arizona’s lax, new gun laws and, again, the angry “rhetoric” of talk radio. The shootings were spurred, he suggested, by “the rhetoric about hatred, about mistrust of government, about paranoia of how government operates.”
Dupnik took up his cause again on Monday. And, in response, we have to say at last . . . enough. Enough attacks, sheriff. Enough vitriol. It is well past time for the sheriff of Pima County to get a grip on his emotions and remember his duty.

The TOTAL Hypocrisy Of The Left As They Have NO Shame For Their LIES and Attacks On Anyone On The Right!!!
Remember how Paul Krugman got all hot and bothered about Sarah Palin's map?
Each of the cross-hairs represents a Democrat from a conservative district who voted in favor of health reform. Immediately after highlighting the map, Krugman wrote:
"All of this goes far beyond politics as usual…you’ll search in vain for anything comparably menacing, anything that even hinted at an appeal to violence, from members of Congress, let alone senior party officials….to find anything like what we’re seeing now you have to go back to the last time a Democrat was president."
The map appears on this page of the Democratic Leadership Committee website (dated 2004 during the Bush years). I guess we could argue over whether the DLC counts as “senior party officials” but they’re certainly as much a part of the party as Palin who, after all, currently holds no elected office.
Granted these are bulls-eyes instead of gun-sights, and the targets are states not individual congressmen. But we’re really splitting hairs at this point. This map and the language it uses (Behind enemy lines!) are, if anything, more militant than what Palin used in her Facebook posting.
But wait, there’s more!
When Palin’s map became an issue, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, leader of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), rushed on MSNBC to denounce it, telling Chris Matthews:
"I really think that that is crossing a line…In this particular environment I think it’s really dangerous to try and make your point in that particular way because there are people who are taking that kind of thing seriously."
.
And this is from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) website. They launched the site and the map on February 23rd of this last year, making it just over a month year old. And yet Van Hollen was quoted by Politico just today denouncing Republicans for “pouring more and more gasoline on the flames.”
Rep. Van Hollen used MSNBC to claim Palin’s map was dangerous. In fact, the website of the organization he runs has a nearly identical map. Rep. Van Hollen should be asked to explain the differences between the two maps. Specifically, what makes Palin’s map “dangerous” and his map not so much?
Paul Krugman used the megaphone of the NY Times to state that Palin’s Facebook map went “far beyond politics as usual.” He further claimed, “you will search in vain for anything comparably menacing…from members of Congress.” Notice he didn’t say it was hard to find or rare. He said, in effect, that it didn’t exist. But since my search was not in vain, the Times should issue a correction noting that Krugman got it wrong.

Wild Thing's comment........
Just how low can former-economist Hack Columnist Paul Krugman, hysteric-in-chief for The New York Times, go!!???!!
And, for crying out loud, everybody in politics and in the chattering classes uses terms like “targeted” or “targeting” in political contexts like elections and legislation, with no violent meaning whatsoever.
The bad part to is we can spend all day castigating the Marxist like Krugman and Mathews, but to them it is water off of a duck’s back. They do the hit and run and get ready to do it again. They could not care less about the facts. They are just part of the Commie propaganda machine.
Once again......Obama’s political vitriol ...
“They bring a knife, we bring a gun”
- to his supporters: “Get in their faces!”
- on ACORN Mobs: “I don’t want to quell anger. I think people are right to be angry! I’m angry!”
- to his mercenary army: “Hit back twice as hard”
- on the private sector: “We talk to these folk. So I know whose ass to kick.“
- to voters: “Republican victory would mean hand-to-hand combat”
- to liberal supporters: “It’s time to fight for it.”
- to Latino supporters: “Punish your enemies.”
- to Democrats: “I’m itching for a fight.”
....... Thank you BradL for sending this to me.

“The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment, he’s irresponsible; uses partial information, sometimes wrong information.

Sheriff Knew About Loughner’s Actions & Previous Threats – Failed to Act
James Taranto, the editor of the OpinionJournal.com and author of its popular Best of the Web Today column at The Wall Street Journal. Tonight Taranto questioned Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik’s culpability in the Arizona supermarket slaughter.
“I’d like to make one additional point on Sheriff Dupnik. I think we’re missing the point when we’re talking about his political agenda. This man and this suspect has had previous contact with the sheriff’s office. It looks to me, we don’t have many details on this, but it looks as though he slipped between the cracks. I think what we really need to look into is what happened when he had previous contact with the sheriff’s office with their negligence here. And, I think the sheriff is trying to distract from that question.”

DEMOCRATS Urge Obama to Pin Shooting on Tea Partiers
Dems Urge Obama to Pin Shooting on Tea Partiers
The references to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 echoed in other ways. That horror, which killed 168 people including many children, helped then-President Bill Clinton stigmatize extreme anti-government rhetoric and re-energize his presidency at a time when Newt Gingrich and conservative Republicans were riding high in Congress.
One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.
"They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers," said the Democrat.
"Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people."
Another Democratic strategist said the similarity is that Tucson and Oklahoma City both “take place in a climate of bitter and virulent rhetoric against the government and Democrats.”
This Democrat said that the time had come to insist that Republicans stand up when, for example, a figure such as Fox News commentator Glenn Beck says something incendiary.
Some Republicans have scrambled to portray alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner as an unbalanced loner, and pointed to a high school classmate’s account that, four years ago, he had left-wing views. Democrats are framing his attack as the tragic-but-inevitable end result of a right-wing political culture that has become radicalized since President Obama’s election.
“Today we have seen the results” of “irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric,” former Democratic senator and presidential candidate Gary Hart wrote on Huffington Post. “Those with a megaphone, whether provided by public office or a media outlet, have responsibilities. They cannot avoid the consequences of their blatant efforts to inflame, anger, and outrage.” No politician – not even the most strident partisan on the left – is suggesting that any mainstream conservative feels anything but horror over the Tucson shootings. Yet assassinations are by definition a political act, and solo actors in the past have shaped American history on many occasions.
Wild Thing's comment........
Dems are beyond pathetic and beneath contempt for trying to use a tragedy that has nothing to do with politics on the tea party and Republicans to silence opposing voices.

Veterans Demand an Apology From VILE Person and LIAR Arizona Rep. Linda Lopez
Democrat Linda Lopez accuses Tea Party of stirring up people like Giffords shooter. Hardly a few hours went by after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords yesterday when her fellow Democrats began to pounce on sketchy details for what they thought was political gain. Almost instantly after the shooting, Democrats (aided and abetted by the liberal media) began to politicize the crime by inventing the slanderous narrative that Tea Party members (read: patriots) were somehow to blame for Jared Loughner’s murder spree. The woman who may have started it all was Democrat State Senator Linda Lopez, a friend of Giffords. On a phone interview in a TV appearance, she was supposed to talk about her dear friend, but she quickly took the opportunity to attack her political enemies instead.
Veterans Demand an Apology From Arizona Rep. Linda Lopez
Yesterday Arizona state Rep. Linda Lopez was on FOX News and blamed tea partiers for the attack at the Safeway. Of course, she had no evidence of this. Rep. Lopez also suggested that Loughner was an Afghan veteran.
While listening and watching all of the activity and coverage of this horrific event, one thing has become even more clear- the MFM has come unglued on the Right, on Veterans, and on grass roots organizations. This vitriol has GOT to stop, in both directions. But blaming Veterans just because it involved a gun is over the top. Especially for someone who should know better than to spread rumors.
The topper statement is from State Congressional Representative Linda Lopez, who is about as far-Left as you can get. Not that that’s a particular issue, but, given her next statement, we’ve got a HUGE problem …
”the shooter is likely, from what I’ve heard, an Afghan vet..”
Ms Lopez, on behalf of ALL veterans, and especially the Afghanistan veterans you have repeatedly defaced, I would like to ask this-
WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY
Your demented, irrational view of veterans shows in this despicable statement. You have, as most do on the extreme Left and within the MFM, caused irreparable damage to veterans everywhere- not just those in Arizona. You do a complete disservice to us, to your country, and to your state by repeatedly asserting that there was a likelyhood he was an Afghanistan veteran.
Granted, in the heat of the moment, things can be said that are ‘caustic’, but this goes beyond anything that was said all day (EXCEPT that Rep. Giffords was ‘dead’) and does a greater disservice to your party.
If you are not willing to issue a retraction, and apology, then I am asking those in Arizona to look at censuring and/or recalling someone who would put forth such discpicable accusations without cause nor merit. What caused you to even think that this person was associated in any way with the military?
He had a gun?
He was male?
He was WHITE?
Loughner was turned down by the Army (as stated by both CNN and to posted by Stars and Stripes) for ‘instability issues’. Just because someone used a gun in a despicable act, you want to throw it on the ‘veterans as victims’ pile.
What if one of Breitbart’s contributors had posted that they thought that, since a white Congresswoman was attacked, that the shooter was likely Hispanic/Latino, or Black? Who’s head would be rolling in the gutter then? The shrieking would go on for months.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
They announced over and over and over that the shooter was NOT a Vet, nor in any service, that he was rejected by the US Army in fact. And this BITCH knows it and still went on and on saying this. Sorry about my language but I swear these lefties have pushed me over the edge in their hate and I have had it with all of them.
We know she won't give and apology, but she should!

The Left Is Totally Out Of Control They Are Too Filled With Hate So They Blame Innocent People For AZ. Killer
Pima County AZ Sheriff Clarence Dupnik blamed the “prejudice and vitriol” in Arizona for the shooting
“But again I’d just like to say that when you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain people’s mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this country is getting to be outrageous. And, unfortunately, Arizona I believe has become sort of the capital. We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.”

Olbermann Blames Palin, Allen West, Tea Party, Beck & O’Reilly for Shootings Today By Marx-Supporting Liberal Lunatic ....he does NOT mention the violence those on the left have done.

* Arizona State Senator Linda Lopez blamed tea party patriots. It only took her about 2 hours after the shooting for this woman to make this statement.
* Leading leftist blogs Daily Kos (Markos Moulitsas) and Crooks and Liars blamed Sarah Palin.
* Jane Fonda blamed Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck..
* N.O.W. ( you know those men hating, hairy lipped women) is blaming Conservatives for the shooting.
The president of the top pro-abortion lobby group National Organization for Women went so far as to openly blame “extreme right-wing opponents” hours after the shooting, chastising Republican leaders and calling for a Justice Department investigation “to the fullest extent of federal anti-terrorist legislation” to determine whether the shooting was “part of a conspiracy.”
“Conservatives cannot have it both ways, screaming sexist, racist and homophobic slurs at legislators as they vote for health care reform, putting legislators on a violence-inciting ‘Targets’ list, and then simply saying how sorry they are when someone explodes into murder,” declared NOW president Terry O’Neill in a statement emailed to supporters.

Wild Thing's comment........
This is the same sheriff who vowed not to enforce Arizona’s new immigration law. Also this was done by a white person on other whites. And for him to exploit this killing like he is imo is unforgivable. sheesh.
As you follow this story throughout the week, note how many times the media refer to the killer as "the gunman."
The violent rhetoric the citiznes of our country have heard comes from Obama and his many threats. The if they bring a gun we bring a knife comments , telling his voters to get in our faces comments he has made and the many other things he has said to promote violence.
All of these lefties doing this are wolves waiting for one incident that they can use to silence those they cannot debate!!!!

Democrat Rep.Jerrold Nadler: GOP Reading Constitution “ritualistic reading” on the floor “total nonsense” and “propaganda”
Reading between Constitution's lines
Dem Rep. Jerrold Nadler: GOP Treating Constitution Like It’s a “Sacred Text,” Reading it is “Total Nonsense” and “Propaganda"
And the Founders said: Let there be a constitution. And the Founders looked at the articles and clauses and saw that it was good.
For more than 200 years, Americans have revered the Constitution as the law of the land, but the GOP and tea party heralding of the document in recent months – and the planned recitation on the House floor Thursday – have caused some Democrats to worry that the charter is being misconstrued as the immutable word of God.
“They are reading it like a sacred text,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the outgoing chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, civil rights and civil liberties, who has studied and memorized the Constitution with talmudic intensity.
Nadler called the “ritualistic reading” on the floor “total nonsense” and “propaganda” intended to claim the document for Republicans. “You read the Torah, you read the Bible, you build a worship service around it,” said Nadler, who argued that the Founders were not “demigods” and that the document’s need for amendments to abolish slavery and other injustices showed it was “highly imperfect.”
“You are not supposed to worship your constitution. You are supposed to govern your government by it,” he said.
But exalting the Constitution is hardly new. Constitutional scholars and historians say the document has occupied a nearly spiritual sphere for Americans practically since its ratification.
It has an immediate and obvious parallel to how you interpret the Bible," said Noah Feldman, a law professor and constitutional scholar at Harvard.
"The Constitution is seen as both the source and the product of God's blessing on the United States," said John Green, a University of Akron political scientist and adviser to the Pew Forum's surveys on religion in politics. "Reading and invoking the Constitution is part of a public ritual that makes up the civil religion."
In his first presidential inaugural address, George Washington divined the invisible hand of providence in the nation's creation, a pervasive belief, Green said, that imbued the Constitution with a "quasi-scriptural" quality. The perceived majesty of the document has waxed and waned over time, but after a sweeping Republican Party victory in the November midterms, it is conservative and tea party members who are most vocal in extolling its restorative powers.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), a frequent exalter of the Constitution, said Thursday's reading is a logical reaction to a campaign that was explicitly run on its principles. She said she believes the Constitution is a guide to paring down expansive government powers. "The words of the Constitution mean what they say they mean," she said. She described the Constitution as "the organic, original document" that "gives life to a nation."
"It's not on the same level as a sacred text that God would hand down to the faithful," said Bachmann, specifying the the document was "secular" and intended to provide parameters for the branches of government. But, she added, religious inspiration had a role in the document's drafting. "Those who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were themselves devout individuals - primarily in their Christian faith," she said, arguing that the product was "reflective of their sincerely held beliefs."
Suspicious and mocking as Nadler was of the Republicans' motivation for reading aloud what he affectionately characterized as "a long, dry, boring document with details about how Congress will have power to lay imposts and taxes".
.
GOP-Controlled House to Kick Off New Session by Reading Constitution Aloud
Though it has been inserted as text into the Congressional Record before, the supreme law of the land has never been read aloud before in the body known as "the People's House."
The man responsible for the exercise, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., says it's more than just a simple civics lesson.
"This is a very symbolic showing to the American people," said Goodlatte, "and it's a powerful message to members of Congress. We are a nation of laws, not of men."
Boehner will begin Thursday by reading the Constitution’s preamble: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., will follow suit with Article 1, Section 1, which states that Congress will have a Senate and a House of Representatives. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., then reads Article 1, Section 2. Members will continue on until they have read the entire Constitution and its amendments. They will not get to choose which section they read.
Goodlatte expects the proceeding to take 90 minutes. They will use one copy of the document to do the entire reading, and will pass it between members.
The emphasis on the Constitution won't end with the reading of the document. The House on Wednesday approved a package of rules for the 112th Congress, put forward by Cantor, that includes a provision mandating that all bills cite their constitutional authority.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Finally, now the Dems will know what's in it! The tiny minority that do know what's in it should hang their heads in shame. The 110th Congress DID by and large make a total mockery of the Constitution, led by obama who has openly stated his disdain and ire toward our Consitition.
Regarding Nadler and the other liberals not liking this, they are exposing their utter hatred of America at every turn. Americans will vote accordingly.

Stenny Hoyer: Tea Party People Come From Unhappy Families ~ LOL Too Funny!
Hoyer: Tea Party People Come From Unhappy Families
On the eve of his demotion by voters from House Majority Leader to House Minority Whip, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Hoyer offered this insight into the psychology of the Tea Party movement:
There are a whole lot of people in the Tea Party that I see in these polls who don’t want any compromise. My presumption is they have unhappy families. All of you have been in families: single-parent, two-parents, whatever. Multiple parent and a stepfather. The fact is life is about trying to reach accommodation with one another so we can move forward. That is certainly what democracy is about. So if we are going to move forward compromise is necessary.
So, there you have it. The Tea Party movement is not motivated by, as its members claim, record-high levels of spending and debt by the federal government and the possible economic consequences of that. It is not upset by the various federal bailouts of recent years. It is not riled up by a stagnant economy with 9.8% unemployment. No, they go to rallies because it is easier than going home apparently.
Now, Hoyer may have been making a joke. It wasn’t entirely clear from the way he said it, though, and no reporter in the room laughed.
Still, at least Hoyer recognizes that the Tea Party movement includes real people, unlike House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She has insisted that the movement is “astroturf” and doesn’t really exist.

Hoyer Blames Reagan and Bushes for Deficits, Says Policies Did Nothing to Grow Economy
In his last day as House Majority Leader, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) put much of the blame for America’s growing debt on past Republican administrations, including former President Ronald Reagan.
“Ronald Reagan came in and adopted an economic program that created $1.4 trillion in deficits over the next eight years,” Hoyer said in a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday, where he appeared with other members of the Democratic House Leadership.
“George Bush continued those policies and added another trillion dollars to the deficit," said Hoyer. "Bill Clinton came in 1993 and we adopted a PAY-GO (pay as you go) process.”
Hoyer warned that new rules that will be adopted by the incoming Republican majority in the House of Representatives will lead to an increase in the federal deficit. (The new Congress is scheduled to be sworn-in today, Jan. 5.)
Hoyer went on to say that the policies of Ronald Reagan not only increased the deficit, but also did nothing to grow the economy and were responsible for the recent economic downturn.
.
Wild Thing's comment........
Insanities tumble from his lips as do acorns from oaks. A year or so ago he assured his constituents that the Tea party movement was extremely small and would have absolutely no influence on the political process.
Oh and one other thing, yo Stenny, we do not live in a democracy.
Obama and Hoyer wrote more than $3 trillion in debt in 2 years, which is more than twice what Reagan wrote in 8 years.
