LIBERALS BEHAVING BADLY: Obama's spitting Seniors

More proof that shows how despicable Liberals can be when it comes to political discourse. Case in point  an 83 year old spitting senior identified as Mary Hoglund of Appelton Wisconsin  behaving very badly at a Republican sponsored event. Here is exhibit A:

The Liberal Democrats have been making lies up in the past that it was Tea Party members who were spitting on them. Which has turned out to be untrue but, that never stopped those in the Obama crowd from repeating that falsehood. That includes Whoppi Goldberg and Nancy Pelosi too.   But, this video shows it is really the Liberals doing the spitting.

CLUELESS ON RACHEL MADDOW

Rachel Maddow has a doctorate in "Politics"? Who knew? No wonder she is so out of touch with mainstream America and why she gets things wrong so often. Speaking of clueless:


At least she can say she's not Ed Schultz. How long before the executives at Comcast realize how bad their Liberal loser lineup at MessNBC is costing them on the bottom line and how few viewers are actually watching.

DEPORTING RICK PERRY

As I said few post ago. It's adios Rick Perry.  The Mitt Romney campaign opens up a can of conservative wupp ass on the Texas Governor for his defense of rewarding illegal immigrants with in state tuition in Texas. It's spot on about how out of touch Perry is with the American people on the issue. But, his friends in Mexico love him:

MADDOW vs. STEWART: It was a TKO by Stewart

It was almost painful to watch the interview between Jon Stewart and the MSNBC's Liberal Lesbian Rachel Maddow on Thursday. When she attempted to minimize her and other liberal pundits mocking of the Tea Party movement using vile gay sex euphemisms Stewart rightly called her on it. Maddow also tried to equate what she does on cable news  with what Stewart does on the Comedy Channel. You could also see the pained looked on Maddows face as Stewart smacked her down verbally. Stewart rightly pointed out that he is a "comedian" and she is not. Seems Maddow never did understand that what Stewart does is brilliant comedy while all Maddow does is snarky Liberal political commentary! Yes, Rachel the truth does hurt! Oh and another thing you are really not that funny either!
 

ANOTHER LYING DUMBOCRAT: RICHARD BLUMENTHAL

Time to add another portrait to the Democratic Hall of Shame. Today's it is Richard Blumenthal who is running as a Democrat for U.S. Senate in Connecticut. In a press conference he says he "misspoke" when he claimed publicly the he was "Vietnam Vet".  Of course this is nonsense! He did not misspeak.  HE LIED! His use of   words like "misspoke"  shows what kind of weasel politician he is. There are enough of those in Washington  already. Let's hope the voters of Connecticut feel the same and make sure this lying jerk never gets there.

A BCP ENDORSEMENT: MICKEY KAUS FOR U.S. SENATE

I've been reading Mickey Kaus' blog for years and was always impressed with his honesty and insight on many issues like illegal immigration. I'm a registered Democrat who divides my time between Washington D.C. and New York where my main residence is so I can't vote for him but, if I could I would vote for Mickey Kaus (The Common Sense Democrat) in the California Democratic primary for U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer. The least I can do is give him the BCP political endorsement. Here are some of the money quotes of why I would have no problem voting for Kaus:

"It's time Democrat politicians stopped holding enforcement measures hostage to their goal of amnesty--of giving citizenship to millions who are here illegally."

"I'm not for mass deportations, or for rooting out and displacing people who are minding their own business 'living in the shadows.' But Arizonans have been sorely tested by wave after wave of illegal immigration, in violation of federal law, which has brought with it unprecedented levels of violence to the state.

"If Obama and the national Democrats don't like Arizona's response, they should stop holding effective federal enforcement of immigration laws hostage to the amnesty they keep dangling in front of Latino voters."

Here's more from Kaus:

"Kaus is the only Democratic Senate candidate on the ballot to oppose amnesty proposals, even when they are packaged with enforcement measures and billed as "comprehensive reform." The incumbent, Barbara Boxer, supports "comprehensive reform" that includes a "path to citizenship" for illegals--i.e., amnesty."

We need to secure the borders first. Build the actual, physical fence that was supposed to be built. Extend E-verify or another effective means of checking immigration status at the time of employment. Create a system for monitoring visa overstays. Let the ACLU sue. Let the Chamber of Commerce sue. Let MALDEF sue. Then if the system survives those assaults, and works--actually stops illegal immigration and sends a signal to the world that the game has changed--then in a few years we can start to talk about amnesty."

Like I said I can't vote for him but, if you are a Democrat in California please vote for Mickey Kaus in the California primary. But, if you can't vote too you could help his epic campaign by helping him out with a donation. Not all of us Democrats are drinking the liberal kool aid. Mickey Kaus is one such Democrat.

CNN: Works on the pigs ear.

Following yesterday's Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey Governor's races CNN (the Obama Administrations favorite "news organization outside of MSNBC and one that fact checks Saturday Night Live comedy sketches had this little insane insight:

"Washington (CNN) -- Victories in New Jersey and Virginia Tuesday provided a major shot in the arm for the Republican Party heading into the 2010 elections, but the Democratic losses of these two governorships should not be interpreted as a significant blow to President Obama."

File this under Delusional Analysis! Especially after both Obama and Biden made several trips to try and prop up New Jersey Democratic Govenor John Corzine chances for relection.

Notes from the BCP Washington Bureau

I've been away from the keyboard for awhile after being on a trip to Africa and enjoying the Long Island summer. But, that does not mean I have not been getting outraged about what is going in the country. Working here in Washington for a few weeks has gotten my ire raised even a more. So I think it's time to fire up the keyboard once again. So stay tuned!

Stepping out with the CAPITOL STEPS

A number of years ago I visited the Washington Office of my Senator the once honorable Alphonse D'Amato to express my opposition to the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.. There I was greeted by one of the Senator's senior staffers Elaina Newport. A woman who looked familiar. Back then she looked an awful lot like Ann Coulter. Come to think of it I have never seen a picture of them together. But, it was only later that I realized that Ms. Newport was a member of the Washington D.C. based satirical comedy troupe The Capitol Steps. Since I'm working out of the BCP Washington Bureau for the next week we decided to go see the Steps at The Ronald Reagan Center where they preform every Friday and Saturday night. I was not disappointed. Even better the show we were attending was being taped for the Capitol Steps Fourth of July radio show on NPR next weekend. So check your local listings you might hear me and the rest of the audience having a good laugh and you will too!

Sol Obama?

Not quite sure to make of this action. The New York Times asked Barack Obama flat out if he was a socialist. He said no. But, that did not stop him a few hours later calling up the Times again to reiterate that he was not. Hmmmm.

SOME REAL BEER CAN POLITICS

How Obama's tax plan really works....Let's talk beer!

Remembering Russert

I was out working on my sailboat when I heard the news that Tim Russert had died. The local NPR station had just switched from it's classical music format to the nightly broadcast of All Things Considered. The headlines started with "one of Washington's most respected journalists had died". I thought immediately it must have been Helen Thomas the longtime elder icon of the Washington press corp. I was shocked that they started they mentioned Tim Russert.

What made Russert different from many of the other journalists in the mainstream media is his middle class background. There are far to few journalists today who have the sensitivity and common sense of the middle class. Tim because of his growing up in Buffalo the son of a hard working middle class sanitation truck driver understood what it meant to be middle class in America and never forgot it. He was more in tune with that segment of the American public than many of the others in the mainstream media. There are not many others in the media with the same sensibility. With Russert gone politics will not be the same, America will not be the same.

Pope urges continued invasion of U.S.

Ignored by the mainstream liberal media is the Pope's call for continued illegal immigration into the United States. The Pope bought his Papal B.S. shovel with him as he like many pro illegal immigrant advocates refuse to make the distinction between legal immigration and illegal immigrants. While many on Capitol Hill like Nancy Pelosi and others were kissing the Popes hand at least one pol Tom Tancredo was speaking out and standing up for the United States. here are some of the money quotes:

"Pope Benedict XVI said the United States must do “everything possible to fight … all forms of violence so that immigrants may lead dignified lives.”

To which Tom Tancredo responds: “I would like to know what part of our lax immigration policy is considered violent,” “I fail to see how accepting more refugees than any other nation –and providing free health care, education,
housing and social service benefits to millions of illegal aliens is in any way ‘violent’ or ‘degrading.’”

“I want to encourage you and your communities to continue to welcome the immigrants who join your ranks today, to share their joys and hopes, to support them in their sorrows and trials and to help them flourish in their new home.”

Wait a minute I just thought they came here to work? So nice of the Pope to invite the illegals to make them selves at home in our country. Perhaps it would be better if he invited them to live in the Vatican. Or as Tancredo said: “ it is not in his job description to engage in American politics.”

As the Catholic church here in the U.S. has declining membership among U.S. citizens Tancredo points out the real reason for the Pope's advocacy for continued illegal immigration into the United States: “I suspect the Pope’s immigration comments may have less to do with spreading the gospel than they do about recruiting new members of the church,” said Tancredo. “This isn’t preaching it is ‘faith-based’ marketing.”

Obama and Momma.

As Johnny Carson use to say funny funny stuff:

Eh Tu(be) Washington Post?

I watched a little of the You Tube/Anderson Cooper debates on CNN last night. Somewhat interesting but, still the mainstream media filter gets in the way and the politicians where still politicians. But, what struck me was the coverage in today's Washington Post. In a front page article by Daniel J. Balz and Anne E. Kornblut which clearly show the mainstream media bias for the "front runners" namely Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. In reading the article one finds only Clinton and Obama mentioned in the first part of the article. It is not until the twelfth paragraph that another candidate (Kucinich) is even mentioned. This this kind of bias the skews U.S. political discussion and rarely gives readers a broad picture of the candidates who participated in the debate. A perfect example of the blinders the mainstream media puts on in political reporting and ignores or minimizes other candidates besides Obama and Clinton is this paragraph:

Former senator Mike Gravel (Alaska) once again played the role of scourge, attacking Obama for the way he has raised money -- a charge Obama quickly sought to rebut -- while complaining that he was being ignored through most of the debate.

Of course this paragraph on Gravel was the last paragraph in the article.

It's a new dawn!

I was thinking of the words of Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane singers words at Woodstock today. As the band took the stage she intoned "It's a new dawn people." I thought of those words as I read an article in Politico today about the impact of viral videos and blogs on politics and political campaigns. Here are some of the money quotes:

Today, most people tune out paid marketing messages as fast as they can. Big media entities don't fare much better. We're far more likely to trust something a friend or acquaintance shares with us. So if someone posts a video with a statement about the campaign and shares it with 10 friends, who each tell 10 more, those 100 people may be more influenced by that one person than by any other political messenger they may encounter.

As I often consider my little piece of the blogosphere I was particularly buoyed by the following passage:

The same is true of the political blogosphere, where a handful of blogs may appear to have the lion's share of attention but a closer look shows that there are literally tens of thousands of sites that have at least 20 other sites linking to them. The amount of conversation going on in that arena is richer and, by sheer traffic alone, far larger than what you would find if you look at only the top 50 or 100 sites.

I have come across some interesting perspectives in the blogosphere that probably would not have survived the editorial filter of mainstream media. Indeed I very rarely will write a letter to the editor of a newspaper instead will publish my thoughts here. I think this passage sums it up nicely:

Instead, what is emerging is the most robust democratic and participatory political arena in America in perhaps two centuries. Not since the days of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and the myriad printer-pamphleteers have there been this many vibrant voices engaged in the national political debate.

Yep, It's a new dawn.

McCain was done a long time ago.

Howard Kurtz in today's Washington Post has an article about how the press no longer find John McCain their media darling. Here are some of the money quotes:

"When McCain deviates from Republican orthodoxy, it's brave. When McCain deviates from the elite media's orthodoxy, they write that he's not brave, which is unfair. There's a bit of a negative bandwagon going on."

The mainstream media press (especially inside the beltway) and many politicians like McCain just don't get it. There is a new kid (the internet) in town and word gets out fast and no longer just goes through the filter of these mainstream media elites. Kurtz's piece gives the mainstream journalists way to much credit for McCain's poll numbers. Those of us who lurk around political bulletin boards knew McCain was going nowhere as soon as McCain started tongue kissing limousine liberals like Ted Kennedy and proposing amnesty for illegals who have broken our immigration laws. Because of his dance with Kennedy he is know as John McCave! Even at the FAIR HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE anti illegal immigration rally which was made up of a lot of citizens from western states like Arizona there was no love for McCain (See the above photo). So the elite mainstream press can think they have this great influence on McCain's poll numbers. When actually it's an informed electorate that decides the fate of candidates especially on issues like illegal immigration.

The Imus media firestorm: Black hypocrisy and what lies beneath.

The press conference with the Rutgers Woman's basketball team should show Imus and others why what Imus said was wrong, insensitive and inappropriate. These woman athletes should be outraged and it looks like Imus will speak with them privately and apologize personally. That is appropriate. Team Captain Essence Carson had it right when she said:
"Some have pointed out that young women are routinely and unfortunately called "hos" in some rap lyrics. "That doesn't make it any more right for anyone to say it, it doesn't matter if you are African American, Caucasian, Asian, it really doesn't matter," said Rutgers team captain Essence Carson at a news conference yesterday. "All that matters is it's wrong."-Washington Post
I wonder if the black media elites like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Washington Post columnist Eugen Robinson and the National Association of Black Journalists etc... who are so outraged over Imus remarks will take the words of Ms. Carson to heart and go after BET (Black Entertainment Television), MTV and the rap and hip hop recording industry who promote artist and entertainers who compose songs with much more racist lyrics and images. If they don't it will show the hypocrisy of what Bill Maher calls the "manufactured outraged" against Don Imus. Don't hold your breath while you wait for all these same racial ambulance chasers going after Don Imus to go after the rap music industry for their use of even worse words and images. You can almost smell the hypocrisy coming from the positions of these black media elites.

But, why all this overblown "outrage" over the Imus remarks? Underneath all the media firestorm hidden in the remarks of people like Jesse Jackson may lie the real reason for the this media firestorm concerning Don Imus. It is political.
Don Imus usually uses his acerbic humor to go after the powerful that includes going after people from President Bush, Dick Cheney to Hillary Clinton. And there may lie the real reason for the media lynching of Don Imus. Both Sharpton and Jackson are Democratic partisans. Imus has often said that he would not have Hillary Clinton on as a guest on his influential program. Jackson appeared on Lou Dobs on Monday and here is the smoking gun money quote:
"JACKSON: He's not irreverent toward Joe Lieberman. He's not irreverent towards Harold Ford. He irreverent towards those he chooses to call out. But the idea of this pattern, the statements about. And even today he said he didn't want Hillary Clinton on his show. A political statement, you know. It's a very political show."- Jesse Jackson on Lou Dobbs

So that's what this is really all about. Democratic partisans like Jackson and Sharpton among others are going after Don Imus not so much because of his insensitive stupid remarks about the Rutgers Woman's basketball team. But rather being Democratic partisans and long time friends of Hillary and Bill Clinton they are trying to also eliminate or take down someone in the media who has derided Clinton in order to earn some points with the Democratic party and Hilliary Clinton in particular. More to follow....

The delusion of John McCain

"Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) will launch a high-profile effort next week to convince Americans that the Iraq war is winnable, embracing the unpopular conflict with renewed vigor as he attempts to reignite his stalling bid for the presidency."-Washington Post

John McCain is done! Only the talking head Washington pundents, mainstream media and John McCain don't know it yet. It's not that he is standing behind blundering boy Bush on the Iraq debacle. He also lost his conservative base when he started tongue kissing with Ted Kennedy on amnesty for illegal immigrants. Something the mainstream media has been ignoring until recently. It's sad because I think John McCain would have made a good President had he defeated George Bush in the 2000 Republican primaries. But, between his stand on Iraq and his stand on illegal immigration amnesty he has become delusional and out of touch with the country as much as George W. Bush has been.

Popping Bloombergs balloon.

New York's billionaire elitist mayor Mike Bloomberg is once again it seems testing the waters for an independent presidential bid in 2008. The problem for Bloomberg is if he won he would have to take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the United States. But, since he is already breaking U.S. law with his "sanctuary policy" for illegal immigrants who come to New York. The idea of President Bloomberg would be a disgrace since he has already shown such disregard for U.S. laws already.
