VIDEO: Israeli footage shows activists' attacks. Obama pals back violent Gaza flotilla.
The group behind the Gaza flotilla that engaged in deadly clashes with Israeli commandos today counts among its top supporters the friends and associates of President Barack Obama, namely the founders of the Weather Underground terrorist organization, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink.

Maher: Obama Not Acting Like A "Real Black" President...
Look how Bill Maher defines a black president. It's funny how people who constantly see "subliminal racism" are actually the subliminal racists themselves.
Someone should tell Bill Maher that Obama isn't a 'black' President. He's actually 25% Kenyan, 25% Arab and 50% white. He's a 'bi-racial' President who sides with radical, corrupt, racist white liberals. He's far from a 'real' black man. Don't let his appearance fool ya.
This loser Bill Maher is displaying yet another example of 'intellectual racism' by elitist white liberals. Barbara Boxer does it very well as does Janeane Garofalo and Keith Olbermann.
We will never understand why MOST black voters side with a party controlled by elitist WHITE liberals who have used blacks for votes and to divide Americans.
White liberals have destroyed black communities for the past 40 years (Detroit, Newark, Philadelphia, Chicago, Camden, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. Baltimore) by throwing black and Hispanic Mayors in to 'fetch' the black and Latino vote.
With over 30 black conservatives running for congress this year who are NOT in the democratic party, maybe it's time for 'real' black voters to look towards 'real' black candidates and vote all of these white liberals and black sellouts out of office..especially the ones who will not need a gun to get their point across..
This 'real' black man has a message for that racist pig, Janeane Garofalo..

King Barack the Verbose. He is less accountable than the older kind of royalty.
One of the chief characteristics of Barack Obama’s speechifying is its contempt for words as anything other than props of self-puffery. Consider, for example, his recent remarks to the graduating class of the United States Military Academy:
“America has not succeeded by stepping out of the currents of cooperation — we have succeeded by steering those currents in the direction of liberty and justice.”
“Steering those currents”? How could even a member of the president’s insulated, self-regarding speechwriting team be so tin-eared as to write that line? How could the president be so tone-deaf as to deliver it in May of 2010? Hey, genius, if you’re so damn good at “steering currents,” why not try doing it in the Gulf of Mexico?
As for many great “thinkers,” for Barack Obama and his coterie words seem to exist mostly in the realm of metaphor rather than as descriptors of actual action actually occurring in anything so humdrum as reality. And so it is that, even as his bungling administration flounders in the turbulent waters of the Gulf, on the speaker’s podium the president still confidently sails forth deftly steering the ship through the narrow ribbon of sludge between the Scylla of sonorous banality and the Charybdis of gaseous uplift.
Two years ago this week, then-Senator Obama declared that his very nomination as Democratic-party presidential candidate (never mind his election, or inauguration) marked the moment when “our planet began to heal” and “the rise of the oceans began to slow.” “Well, when you anoint yourself King Canute,” remarked Charles Krauthammer the other day, “you mustn’t be surprised when your subjects expect you to command the tides.” READ MORE...
Rush is right, says … Chris Matthews?
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Newsbusters captures this surprising moment from last night’s Hardball, in which we see just how much of the tingle has run out of Chris Matthews’ leg. Matthews praises Rush Limbaugh for his Bill Clinton impersonation, but that’s not what Matthews says Rush got right. Rush notes that when it came to picking dealmakers, Barack Obama really knew what he was doing — and Matthews apparently agrees:
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let`s take a look at Rush — I have to do this — Rush Limbaugh today impersonating Bill Clinton and assessing the situation. Let`s listen to Rushbo.
ANDREA MITCHELL: Oh dear!
RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK SHOW HOST: I`m going to kiss your (EXPLETIVE DELETED) if you kiss my (EXPLETIVE DELETED). I`ll make sure that you — if you come groveling to me, I`ll be happy to help you out here. Now look at what has happened here, they go to Bill Clinton. He`s famous for getting people jobs. Monica Lewinsky offered a job at Revlon. She was offered a job at the United Nations. She didn`t take any of them. But they`ve got Bill Clinton. Isn`t it great, folks, that they found a guy who they know will commit perjury to carry the water here?
MATTHEWS: Well sometimes even he can get it right. That was pretty good lampooning, I`ve got to say.
Clinton may not be able to close the sale, but he has a well-established flexibility on honesty … apparently, just what Obama wanted in a buffer. Having Matthews acknowledge the truth of that on MS-NBC demonstrates just how disillusioned and disenchanted Matthews has become, at least temporarily.
Modern Civil Rights: Cockfighting & Same-Sex Proms
Watching TV this week, at first I thought Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul had flown a commercial jet into the World Trade Center. But then it turned out that he had only said there ought to be discussion about whether federal civil rights laws should be applied to private businesses.
This allowed the mainstream media to accuse Paul of being a racist. Twisting a conservative's words in order to accuse him of racism was evidently more urgent news than the fact that the attorney general of the United States admitted last week -- under oath in a congressional hearing -- that he had not read the 10-page Arizona law on illegal immigration, the very law he was noisily threatening to overturn.
And really, how could the U.S. attorney general have time to read a 10-page law when he's busy doing all the Sunday morning TV shows condemning it?
Eric Holder's astonishing admission was completely ignored by ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, The Associated Press, Time or Newsweek, according to Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center.
I just want to say: I think it's fantastic that the Democrats have finally come out against race discrimination. Any day now, maybe they'll come out for fighting the Cold War. Perhaps 100 years from now, they'll be ready to fight the war on terrorism or champion the rights of the unborn.
It would be a big help, though, if Democrats could support good causes when it mattered. READ MORE...
HIT JOB: Pathetic ABC Attempts to Align Climate Change Skeptics to White Supremicists
At first, Michael Mann, a Penn State professor and a central figure in the Climategate scandal, but best known for his discredited "hockey stick graph" didn't like being mocked in a YouTube video. Now Mann is alleging he's a victim of hate groups.
On ABC's May 23 "World News Sunday," a segment from anchor Dan Harris alleged that threatening e-mails Mann received were part of a "spike" in violence aimed at the global warming alarmist community.
"The ongoing oil spill crisis in the Gulf is keeping the debate over climate and energy very much in the headlines and that debate is becoming increasingly venomous with many prominent scientists now saying that they are being severely harassed," Harris said.
Curiously Harris makes no mention of the real violence in the form of eco-terrorism that has come from the environmental left or Greenpeace repeatedly targeting the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Chris Horner, by stealing his garbage on a weekly basis, as his Web site points out. Instead, this "severe harassment" ABC warned about were e-mails from fringe Internet elements sent to Mann. READ MORE...

BULLSHIT: White House Sestak story not believable..They're lying and they should ALL be charged...
What the **** happened to 'transparency?!?' It's why people who still support Obama are 'super' idiots.
Republicans are expressing deep skepticism about the just-released statement from the White House on Rep. Joe Sestak’s allegation that the White House offered Sestak a big government job if he would not challenge Sen. Arlen Specter, the White House’s favored candidate in the Pennsylvania Senate primary.
The big question: The White House got Bill Clinton involved for this?
In the statement, White House counsel Robert Bauer admits that the White House was trying to clear the political field for Specter. But Bauer says Sestak was never offered the job of Secretary of the Navy; instead, Sestak was offered only an unpaid position on a presidential advisory board. In return for the unpaid advisory position, Sestak would stay in the House of Representatives and not challenge Specter.
The White House says chief of staff Rahm Emanuel did not make the offer to Sestak, as was widely assumed. Instead, Emanuel asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Sestak. Clinton did, and Sestak declined the offer. (As it happens, Clinton visited the White House on Thursday, just as counsel’s office lawyers were preparing the Sestak statement for release.)

LET THE WITCH USE HER BROOM: Congressman to Pelosi: Give up personal jet. Pelosi costs YOU the taxpayer approximately $28,000 a flight....
A Florida congressman plans to offer an amendment to the 2011 Defense Authorization bill that would require House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to fly coach – just as she requires of other Congress members.
The California Democrat commutes across the continent in a jet provided by the military, a policy first authorized for the House speaker following the 9/11 terror attacks.
But WND also has reported on the tabulation by corruption-fighting Judicial Watch of Pelosi's apparent excesses on her flights.
For example, a receipt for "in-flight services" for the House speaker included a list that looked like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey and Corona beer.
It was only part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" for Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over a two-year period, the Judicial Watch report said. READ MORE...

Stressed Out or Tone Deaf? Obama Chicago Vacation Raises Eyebrows. Skips Arlington Memorial...
Presidents are never really off the clock, even when they go on vacation. But President Obama's decision to skip the traditional Memorial Day ceremony in Arlington while on his second vacation since the BP oil spill began has some wondering what the schedule says about his priorities.
On "vacation," Obama still holds staff meetings, occasionally attends local events and often gets his "relaxation" time swallowed up by pressing national and international business -- his vacation to Hawaii in December coincided with the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing. The retreat this weekend is marked by a side-trip to Louisiana to inspect the damages from the oil spill.
But some conservatives, still smarting over the criticism George W. Bush fielded for his frequent trips to Crawford, Texas, say Obama's trip to Chicago over Memorial Day weekend is conspicuously poor in its timing. READ MORE...
IS THE WORLD BROKE? Entitlements, Spending May Spell Doom
Worldwide markets will soon close out a brutal month, thanks to a realization among traders and economists that spending by governments across the globe has threatened many economies with running out of cash.
What started as a cautious eye toward problems in a marginally important economy in Greece became a full-blown crisis, when ratings firms cut debt outlooks for fellow eurozone economies Spain and Portugal. There were concerns that the euro itself would collapse, or at least break into pieces, either because Greece was thrown out or more stable economies like Germany pulled out. READ MORE...

NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE: The Gulf Spill: Seizing A Crisis To Grab Your Power
Yesterday’s announcements of slitting our own throat of domestic energy production gives cause to revisit who the man is and where he wants to take us.
Rahm Emanuel among others in the Obama administration are on record asserting their philosophy that no “crisis” should ever go to waste. This mentality, of course, carries the moral hazard of promoting “crises” in the news cycle, and as an operating mentality. We have seen this among green activists (including Obama appointees) for decades.
With crises being your strategic plan for hooks to impose an unpopular and radical agenda, you might even allow crises to develop where they could have been nipped into mere incidents. Who knows.
We do know that Obama has a record of words and now deeds declaring war on all sources of energy that work, including their domestic production: shale gas, coal, oil shale, and petroleum. READ MORE...
RUBBER BROTHER: 'Idiot' Tavis Smiley: More Christians Than Muslims Blow Up People Every Single Day
Not only does this man of the Left believe what he is saying, but he does it with passion and conviction. Smiley--a so-called Christian--is the product of a liberal education. Liberalism in America has triumphed. Its disciples use the Christian label only for leftist political means. The label is a badge of authenticity and authority in order to destroy the foundation of the structure they claim to live in.
For liberal "Christians" like Smiley, the old America was a concentration camp where blacks, Indians, women, and homosexuals were persecuted, while the America-to-come--always just a little beyond the horizon--is a Marxist paradise or multicultural university campus in which any human being's desires are satisfied regardless of the quality of those desires or his willingness to work for them.
Smiley sees the world through a left-wing lens--not a Christian one. This is the only way one can explain such idiocy. If leftists continue to succeed in maligning Christians and excusing or exalting Muslims, we can only hope that American pop culture and education will destroy the character of their people as it has done to ours.
NOTE- By the way, YOUR tax dollars pay the salary of 'rubber brother' Tavis Smiley...

WILL SHE EVER JUST GO AWAY? Clinton: 'The rich are not paying their fair share' VIDEO: We prove she's wrong...
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a rare foray into domestic politics today, offering her view that — given America's high unemployment — wealthy Americans don't pay enough taxes.
"The rich are not paying their fair share in any nation that is facing the kind of employment issues [America currently does] — whether it's individual, corporate or whatever [form of] taxation forms," Clinton told an audience at the Brookings Institution, where she was discussing the Administration's new National Security Strategy.
Clinton said the comment was her personal opinion alone. "I'm not speaking for the administration, so I'll preface that with a very clear caveat," she said.
Clinton went on to cite Brazil as a model.
"Brazil has the highest tax-to-GDP rate in the Western Hemisphere and guess what — they're growing like crazy," Clinton said. "And the rich are getting richer, but they're pulling people out of poverty."
Both Clinton and Obama campaigned for president on promises to allow the Bush tax cuts for wealthy Americans expire this year, a plan that is now part of Obama's budget. The move will effectively raise taxes sharply on people earning more than $250,000.
The Administration's new formal strategy document makes the case that domestic economic strength is crucial to influence abroad.
NOTE- How can anyone stomach this woman? She's such a hypocrite and the most annoying kind of phony who makes 'PUMA' members look almost as dumb and naive as Obama supporters are. Anyone who supports a student of Saul Aklinsky is a gigantic IDIOT.
We wish Hillary Clinton would just go away and take her corrupt, egotistical maniac of a husband with her...

HOPE AND CHANGE: Now We Know Why Clinton and Obama Had Lunch on Thursday. To Get Their Stories Straight.. (Please Stop Voting Democrat)
It must be friday afternoon..
The White House asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Rep. Joe Sestak about the possibility of obtaining a senior position in the Obama administration if he would drop out of the Democratic primary race against establishment-backed Sen. Arlen Specter, the Obama administration said in a report released Friday morning.
But the report, by White House Counsel Robert Bauer, concluded that "allegations of improper conduct rest on factual errors and lack a basis in the law."
Batting down allegations that the White House dangled the secretary of Navy position in front of Sestak, the report said that Sestak was offered executive branch positions on advisory boards that were uncompensated.
One of the jobs Clinton specifically discussed with Sestak was the president's intelligence advisory board. But a White House official said the plan always was for Sestak to remain in the House, and he couldn't have served in the House and on the president's intelligence advisory board.
The report also described the Clinton conversations as informal and not tied to any precise job offer since, as a former president, Clinton could not guarantee Sestak anything.
Clinton initiated conversations with Sestakat the behest of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who was Clinton's political director when he was president. As president, Clinton promoted Sestak to vice admiral and made him his director of defense policy. Sestak was also a loyal and tireless supporter of Hillary Clinton's run for the presidency in 2008.
In a written statement, Sestak said Clinton called him last summer to express concerns over his jumping into the Senate primary, "and the value of having me stay in the House of Representatives because of my military background." READ MORE...

New Ads Hit Dems for Clapping for Calderon. This ad alone SHOULD bury the democrats in congress who gave Mexican President a standing ovation..
Here are two ads put out by the Republican Party of Virginia. The ads focus on the behavior of Virginia Democrats Tom Perriello and Rick Boucher when Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke to a Joint Session of Congress and advocated for reinstating the Assault Weapons Ban. He did so under the false statement that most of the assault weapons in Mexico are coming from the United States.
The ads point out that Congressional Democrats “couldn’t get to their feet fast enough” to applaud Calderon when he made his statement. The ads urge people to call Perriello or attend a Boucher Town Hall Meeting and ask them in they stood up for Calderon, or if they stand up for the Second Amendment.

SCARY VIDEO: Obama's Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad As 'Legitimate Tenet Of Islam'
"Nor do we describe our enemy as 'jihadists' or 'Islamists' because jihad is a holy struggle, a legitimate tenet of Islam, meaning to purify oneself or one's community, and there is nothing holy or legitimate or Islamic about murdering innocent men, women and children."

Another radical creep...
NEW YORK – The policy director at a George Soros-funded, Marxist-founded organization calling itself Free Press has just taken a key State Department position, WND has learned.
Free Press Policy Director Ben Scott has been named a policy adviser for innovation at the State Department.
"We will miss Ben's leadership, wise counsel, and strategic brilliance – for Free Press and the overall movement for media and technology policy in the public interest," said Free Press President Josh Silver.
Free Press is a well-known advocate of government intervention in the Internet.
Scott authored a book, "The Future of Media," which was edited by the founder of Free Press, Robert W. McChesney.
McChesney is an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled.
He is a professor at the University of Illinois and former editor of the Marxist journal Monthly Review. READ MORE...

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said this morning that Director Liz Birnbaum had resigned of her "own volition," though other reports suggested she was forced out.
"I found out about her resignation today," Obama said. "Ken Salazar has been in testimony throughout the day. So I don't know the circumstances in which this occurred."
Pressed later on whether Birnbaum had been fired, Obama responded, "I don't know."

TRANSPARENCY? Robert Gibbs turns into Wonder Woman; successfully deflects 13 questions in a row
It was almost like White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs turned into Wonder Woman and was using her magical silver bracelets to deflect the onslaught of questions from two reporters Thursday afternoon.
Gibbs, who only resembled the superhero in fending off the assailants (he wasn't wearing a unitard or anything), managed to successfully not answer a question although it was asked of him 13 times in a row.
An awe-inspiring performance? Absolutely. But what else would you expect from the man who called the Obama White House the most transparent in the history of the nation.
Not that it was an important question. Just if the White House tried to bribe U.S. Rep Joe Sestak to drop out of Pennsylvania's Senate primary by promising him a big honking job.
And it's not like this is a crazy rumor started by some tinfoil-wearing nut bag. Sestak himself said it. Numerous times. As recently as Wednesday on CNN.
So was he offered a bribe or not? ABC's Jake Tapper took the first shot at Gibbs.
"Jake, I don’t have anything to add to what I said in March," Gibbs replied.
Back then Gibbs didn't answer the question either except by saying "whatever conversations have been had are not problematic."
Tapper politely noted that he didn't say anything in March. "Then I don’t have anything to add today," Gibbs replied. READ MORE...

Obama, who has been criticized for not doing enough to generate job growth, proposed the plan in February.
"I'm calling on Congress to pass (the) small business jobs package as soon as possible," Obama said in remarks prepared for delivery at the White House. "I urge both chambers to act on these proposals as soon as possible. This shouldn't be a partisan issue." READ MORE...

In remarks that could dim the outlook for Lincoln's controversial proposal, Frank said there was no need to force banks out of the over-the-counter derivatives business, which includes credit default swaps and other types of contracts.

Maybe the heckler just can't wait to enlist so he can tell amazing stories in the barracks of his anal sex encounters to all of his fellow soldiers. That's really hot, isn't it? (Gross)
Someone should tell the heckler that Muslims don't take to kind to homosexuality, and whether people want to live in denial like idiots or not, Obama IS a Muslim.
It's also nice to know that 'community organizers' and elitist 'flea bag' politicians, most who have never even served in the military, are making decisions about our military.

Under Fire for Oil Spill, Obama Hosting 3 Fundraisers for 'racist' Barbara Boxer
The 'intellectual racist' Barbara Boxer getting clubbed by Harry Alford for talking down to him. We're not surprised that Obama supports Boxer because he needs her vote and support to pass the 'cap and trade' ponzi scheme.

WHILE GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL IS WORKING HIS ASS OFF....WHERE'S OBAMA?
President Obama will land in the Bay Area today to raise money for U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer's re-election campaign as an anti-incumbent wave has Republicans in blue California convinced this is their best shot in years to oust their liberal nemesis.
The president's two-day trip, which includes a pitch Wednesday for green jobs, underscores the high stakes for Democrats, who want to avoid a big loss this year in California, which could be a blow to the party in the 2012 presidential election.
At the same time, Republicans are eyeing Boxer's seat as a foothold toward recovering a majority in the Senate.
"It would be a huge coup for (Republicans) if they could win California, and a major breakthrough across a blue-state line," said Jack Citrin, a political science professor and director of the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley.
Many Democratic Party insiders concede that Boxer, long viewed as "a cat with many lives," could be more vulnerable than other Democrats this year, including two-term Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas, who is also facing a contentious re-election bid, Citrin said. READ MORE...

The people of Bucks County Pa. have finally realized the mistake they made in voting for the Democrat Patrick Murphy over Republican candidate Tom Manion, a Marine and father who lost his Marine son in Iraq. Unlike Patrick Murphy, Tom Manion wouldn't have voted for the health care bill, financial reform bill, cap and trade, bailouts, stimulus etc.. and at a time of economic crisis with soaring unemployment, his major priority wouldn't be trying to abolish the 'don't ask don't tell' policy like Patrick Murphy is doing.
The video below of Murphy supporting the anti-American Barack Obama should easily make him a one term loser.
Isn't it nice to see a veteran insult another 'real' war veteran like John McCain (a fellow democrat by the way) and endorse a corrupt, radical, anti-American compulsive liar. 'Nice job Pat!'
(Barack Obama is an anti-American. We have proved it many times so deal with it.)

Video: Professor booed at Arizona graduation for criticizing immigration law
Brainwashed students. So sad...
Via Gateway Pundit, palate-cleansing fun for the whole family. She specializes in identity studies, naturally enough (gender studies, chicano studies, queer theory, etc.), and so naturally enough, an address to students had to turn into a political harangue. Oh, and naturally enough, she mischaracterized the law:
“The new Arizona law generally known as SB 1070 is considered the strictest anti-immigrant legislation in the country and is explicitly intended to drive undocumented immigrants out of the state. One reason it has instigated a boycott is because to a whole lot of people, myself included, it appears to not only invite but require the police to engage in racial profiling.”
Actually, the statute requires cops not to engage in racial profiling, and I’m not sure why she thinks it’s any more draconian than, say, federal law or various local ordinances that look just like it, but identity studies is all about “narratives,” right? Well, she’s got her narrative and she’s not letting go. And why should she? The demagoguery is paying big dividends for Democrats in Colorado and Arizona so far, with Latino support surging for Michael Bennet and Rodney Glassman. More amnesty bracelets, Pelosi, stat!

OH NO! Top 10 'most corrupt' Congressman Barney 'Banking Queen' Frank to chair financial reform committee! This is really bad...
This will be a major economic disaster. What are Americans thinking when they put people like Frank, Pelosi and Obama in power? This is another form of economic suicide.
(Reuters) - Democratic lawmaker Barney Frank will get the influential position of chairing the committee that will merge the House and Senate's versions of financial reform legislation, a spokesman for Frank said on Monday.
Frank, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, will hold sway as the two chambers try to hammer out major differences in their bills, including rules for derivatives and restrictions on types of trading.
The Senate is expected to name its conferees as soon as Monday, while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may not name her chamber's conferees until after Congress returns from its Memorial Day break on June 7.
Frank, the chief architect of the bill in the House, said last week that he believes it will not take more than a month to merge the two bills.

DING DING! IT'S ON: Rand Paul Rips George Stephanopoulos: Your Talking Points Come from MSNBC, DNC
We have some bad news for all of the dirty white liberals out there in the media; MANY BLACK FOLKS REALLY LIKE AND SUPPORT RAND PAUL and his father Ron Paul, so get over it.
ALSO- Some more bad news for white liberals; blacks have over 30 candidates running for congress in the republican party this year and they're running as conservatives! (A white liberals worst nightmare next to YouTube and Michele Bachmann)
Playing the race card is NOT working anymore, but little wussy libbs like Rachael Maddow, George Stephanopoulos and David Gregory are still attempting to attack Rand Paul and make false accusations of racism just like they did to the tea party, and we all know that turned out to be a lie. In fact, it angered so many blacks, it was a great recruiting tool to join a tea party themselves.
REMEMBER- Many white liberal politicians and members of the media believe that most blacks can't think for themselves, as if their idiots because they might not have the academic pedigree of a snotty elitist liberal. Well keep it up libbs...black conservatives are on the rise and hopefully, the white liberals making false racism allegations (and bankrupting America) will soon become a dying breed.
LOL: Ariz. governor uses puppet video to sell immigration law. Hillarious VIDEO
Who knew that Kermit the Frog was this into politics. The campaign of Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has put out a video that features a frog puppet -- that looks much like the famous Sesame Street character -- to help sell the state's controversial immigration law.
The frog encourages opponents to read the immigration law before criticizing it.
Some may scoff, but the law has boosted Brewer in the polls over her Democratic opponent, Terry Goddard

GREAT IDEA! A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. You make it, they take it..
A Democratic senator is introducing legislation for a bailout of troubled union pension funds. If passed, the bill could put another $165 billion in liabilities on the shoulders of American taxpayers.
The bill, which would put the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation behind struggling pensions for union workers, is being introduced by Senator Bob Casey, (D-Pa.), who says it will save jobs and help people.
As FOX Business Network’s Gerri Willis reported Monday, these pensions are in bad shape; as of 2006, well before the market dropped and recession began, only 6% of these funds were doing well.
Although right now taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for $165 billion, the liability could essentially be unlimited because these pensions have to be paid out until the workers die.
It’s hard to say at the moment what the chances are that the bill will pass. A hearing is scheduled Thursday, which will give the public a sense of where political leaders sit on the topic, said Willis.
Just last week President Obama said there would be no more bailouts.

Sen. Gregg: Financial Reform Bill Is A ‘Disaster’ (Did Scott Brown Even Read The Bill?)
The financial regulatory bill is a “disaster,” and its proposed consumer protection agency would create a Fannie and Freddie “on steroids,” Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. told CNBC on Monday.
“The bill is a disaster because it doesn’t address the fundamental underlining causes of the economic issue, which were real estate and underwriting,” he said. “This bill became, ‘I want to score the most points against Wall Street.’ Most of the initiative of this bill wasn’t directed at solving the problem, but it was directed at scoring political points.”
Gregg, who sits on the Senate banking, budget and appropriations committees proposed underwriting standards along with Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., yet they were not included in the final bill, he said. READ MORE...

ELITIST ANTI-AMERICAN DRUNK: Rep. Kennedy Says Mexican President 'Right On' in Criticizing Arizona Immigration Law. Likens AZ Law to 'Slave Trade'...
Remember this crybaby Patrick Kennedy? He's a true bum and a liberal sissy.
Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D.-R.I.) said last week that Mexican President Felipe Calderon had been “right on” in criticizing Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law.
CNSNews.com asked Kennedy (D-R.I.), a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on national security and foreign affairs, for his thoughts on the criticisms Calderon made of the Arizona law while in Washington, D.C. last week. READ MORE...
Dems Rip Obama: Oil Hits Shore, Obama Golfs, Talks Hoops. 'Presidential' Gov. Jindal Furious: Obama Still Hasn’t Approved Sand Barriers for Oil Spill
President Barack Obama took to the golf course on Saturday after returned from delivering the commencement address at West Point.
The president teed off at the Andrews Air Force Base course with three other people, according to a pool report, but only one could be identified: White House trip director Marvin Nicholson..READ MORE...
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) said the state will not waiting for federal approval to begin building sand barriers to protect the coastline from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Oil has pushed at least 12 miles into Louisiana's marshes, with two major pelican rookeries awash in crude.
Gov. Jindal was critical of the amount of boom his state received to ward off the oil seeping toward the coastline. But his major gripe comes at the expense of the Army Corps of Engineers, who have yet to give the go-ahead for the building of sand booms to protect the Louisiana wetlands. He used photographic evidence of oil breaking through hard booms, soft booms and another layer of protection, before being finally being corralled by a sand boom built by the National Guard.

Rand Paul: Another High Tech Lynching
Ken Blackwell
Dr. Rand Paul was hoping for a “honeymoon” after his thumping victory in the Republican U.S. Senate primary in Kentucky. No such luck. Dr. Paul is a conservative Christian and if he wants a another honeymoon, he needs to talk to his wife.
Instead, what Rand Paul got was a grilling from one end of the chattering class to the other about his supposed opposition to the great Civil Rights Act of 1964. It is a fact that he stumbled in some of his answers to questions about individual titles of that act. Dr. Paul was not alive when the act was debated in front of the whole country in 1964. He needs to bone up on his history.
But the high tech lynching that is taking place now is of a piece with what the liberal media put Clarence Thomas through in 1991. Because Judge Thomas is an original construction jurist, he was seen as a threat by liberal activists. Because Justice Thomas is black, he is vilified by leftists who believe that all minorities must support their left wing causes. READ MORE...

ALOHA! Republican Wins U.S House Seat On Obama's Home Turf...
The celebration at Hawaii Republican Party headquarters was barely 15 minutes old as Charles Djou, the GOP's newest darling, had already moved past the historic victory and turned his sights toward the general election in November.
"I know there are going to be pundits out there who are going to try to minimize the significance of tonight's election," Djou told a crowd of jubilant supporters after winning the special election to fill the vacancy in Hawaii's 1st Congressional District. READ MORE...
NOTE- Notice Obama and the mainstream media are really silent on this one?
IMPEACH THE BUM: Joe Sestak: Um, yeah, Obama tried to buy me off by offering me a job. Robert Gibbs VIDEO- Transparency for idiots..
Comedy gold from “Meet the Press,” polished off by DNC Chair Tim Kaine grudgingly admitting that it might be time for the White House to come clean. If you need your memory jogged about this, I don’t blame you: Sestak first dropped the bombshell that the White House tried to bribe him out of the primary against Specter more than three months ago. A month after that, pieces were already appearing about how absurd Gibbs’s stonewalling had become; two months later, he’s still stonewalling, refusing this morning to tell Bob Schieffer anything about it except that nothing “inappropriate” happened. Which is probably true: Handing Sestak a briefcase full of money to get out of the race would be indictment-worthy, but handing him the same cash in the form of a paycheck plus the prestige that comes with the title of Secretary of the Navy is just good ol’ horse-trading. No wonder “Washington” is a curse word. READ MORE...
Did Attorney General Eric Holder know about the bribe? See video below..
Ummm, yea..
Rober 'Liar Liar' Gibbs dodged the question several times. See video below for 'transparency.'
Unbelievable! Transparency YOUR ass. Thanks 'idiots.'
Obama should be impeached and Pelosi and Reid imprisoned.
(This video isn't about the birthers movement, it's about 'transparency.' Remember, the true idiots are the ones who ridicule the birthers movement. They don't know the facts.)

America better wake up quick...Beck and Calente have been warning Americans for years.
Liberals See Socialism in the Bible.
I think I heard during the campaign, or maybe it was the "historic" speech in Cairo, that America is a Muslim nation. Once again attacking the founding of this nation under Christian values. The Christian influence of the Founding fathers has been under attack for over 100 years. The liberals (Progressives if so so prefer) have done everything to get Christianity out of the public arena. Now this week, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and host of other idiots have said that we should preach from the pulpit for immigration reform, and have faith-based communities on board with their agenda. If you look closer, or watch the Glenn Beck program you will know that many of those who are on board with this disaster are being paid-off with your money. (AKA threatened to comply). For liberals to get on TV and preach to me about the meaning of the Gospels and say that Christianity supports Socialism is laughable. It also proves that they have not read the Bible, why would they it is a law of sorts for this country. Lets start with the defintiion of Socialism and build from there. READ MORE...

Obama to West Point: You’re fighting for the New World Order, or something...
Let’s recall that it was President George H. W. Bush who first talked about a “new world order,” and in just about the same context — a foreign war in Southwest Asia that had failing popularity. Obama doesn’t go nearly as far as Bush did in exhorting support for international organizations in his speech today at West Point, but he goes far enough to catch the attention of the Washington Post:
President Obama on Saturday pledged to shape a new “international order” as part of a national security strategy that emphasizes his belief in global institutions and America’s role in promoting democratic values around the world.
Speaking to the graduating class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point — the ninth wartime commencement in a row, he said — the commander in chief who is leading two foreign wars expressed his faith in cooperation and partnerships to confront the economic, military and environmental challenges of the future.
“The international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times,’” he said in prepared remarks. “Countering violent extremism and insurgency; stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials; combating a changing climate and sustaining global growth; helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick; preventing conflict and healing its wounds.” READ MORE...

BILL MAHER A 'TEABAGGER?' Maher Insults Rand Paul. Sucks Up To Dyson. VIDEO- Ron Paul Was Bill Maher's Hero In '07. What's The Difference?
Listen to the 'brown nosing' atheist Bill Maher criticize Rand Paul this week on his show because he doesn't have the ability to comprehend why Rand Paul doesn't want the government telling private businesses how to run their business. Stay with us...
Now see video below..
Ron Paul and his son Rand Paul have the same exact views! They're identical on the issues. So in 2007, Bill Maher was sweating Ron Paul's nuts and now all of the sudden, Maher is against his son Rand. We wonder why? Hmmm....
Can you say 'TEA PARTY?'
The tea party was not around back when Maher was slobbering all over Ron Paul and now that his son is supporting the tea party and the tea party is supporting Paul, Bill Maher has suddenly changed his mind. Bill Maher and other weak-minded liberals have been brainwashed that the tea partiers are a bunch of white people, republicans and racists. Keep in mind that Bill Maher has to make fun of white people and attack republicans because that's his talent. He can't defeat a conservative in a debate and he feels the need to insult white people to suck up to blacks (who just laugh at him behind his back).
Bill Maher is a white sissy and a spineless hypocrite. He practically gave 'rubber brother' and professor Michael Eric Dyson a blow job under the table on his show this week.
'Please mister Dyson, please mister black man, please like me. I don't like Rand Paul. In fact, I hate all white people too professor, just like you. I'm not down with them, I want to be your friend.'
How pathetic. But that's what Bill Maher does.
Michael Eric Dyson is a radical-socialist-racist AND a professor. He's also a master con artist from the suburbs of Detroit who believes that Tupac Shakur is similar to Martin Luther King. (The conservative MLK)
Dyson is a phony preacher rapper who 'affirmative actioned' his way into Ivy League schools. He can't even bring himself to admit that his own brother is guilty for the brutal murder he committed and is now serving a life sentence for. He still feels guilt over his brother being in prison because he's a 'lighter skinned' black man than his brother. As if that made his brother take another mans life. Huh-what?!? And this guy has been educating dweebs at Georgetown, Brown, Columbia, UNC and UPENN; scary huh?
Dyson has the 'it's all the white mans fault' attitude. What a credible person to have on your panel (or in your classroom) next to 'Real Time' regulars, Elliot Spitzer, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters and Cornel West. One reason we're giving 'Real Time With Bill Maher' the award for the dumbest audience on the planet. (Next to any members in the audience of 'The View' who applaud after Joy Behar opens her fat mouth)
Bill Maher thinks that because Rand Paul is against the government interference in private businesses (so are we) that he's a racist because IF a business chooses to serve whites only, they have that right. (Black businesses also have the right to refuse white people or gays, but he never mentioned that example.)
It's 2010, if some idiot were to do that, he wouldn't be in business too long. Here's a more realistic example. What if you don't want to serve a convicted child sex offender at your ice cream parlor or restaurant? Do you want him suing because federal law says you have to serve him, or do you want to be able to make your own decision on whether you should serve him or not? We like Rand Paul's view on this. The idea that Rand Paul is for not serving blacks at restaurants is ridiculous and it's just another typical played out trick by the scumbag left.
Maher also believes that Rand Paul is against the disabilities act just because he believes that the government shouldn't be ordering a private business to install several handicap ramps, ten handicap parking spaces and a $100,000 elevator. Rand Paul believes that private business should make their own decisions. EXAMPLE- Put the handicap employee in a first floor office, give them a handicap spot and a ramp as needed. COMMON SENSE RIGHT? If the government interferes, you have no business!
Bill Maher is a true 'teabagger.' The tea party doesn't want Bill Maher, but Maher does agree with some of the tea party movement, but he can't admit it. To do so, he would have to admit to agreeing with Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman and republicans on some issues. If he does that, he's also out of business because his audience of retarded progressive zombies would abandon him.

OBAMA'S PURPLE SCUMBAGS: SEIU protesters descend on bank exec’s home, terrifying his son...This is the 'Saul Alinsky' democratic strategy...
SAVAGES: These people are animals. The tea party doesn't storm private homes. These purple turds are democrats and they're not the most educated thugs on the block. They should start looking into how the housing market was able to collapse, who fueled the collapse, who ignored the warnings of the collapse, and finally, who is in bed with the very same bank they're protesting.
IT'S THE DEMOCRATS STUPID.... (Dodd, Frank, Obama)
Big Journalism has been all over this, including the odd detail that D.C. cops evidently escorted the Purple People-Beaters to the Bank of America executive’s home in Rockville, Maryland. Fox News regular Nina Easton was on the scene, with good reason: She lives right next door. Quote:
Last Sunday, on a peaceful, sun-crisp afternoon, our toddler finally napping upstairs, my front yard exploded with 500 screaming, placard-waving strangers on a mission to intimidate my neighbor, Greg Baer. Baer is deputy general counsel for corporate law at Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), a senior executive based in Washington, D.C. And that — in the minds of the organizers at the politically influential Service Employees International Union and a Chicago outfit called National Political Action — makes his family fair game.
Waving signs denouncing bank “greed,” hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baer’s steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baer’s teenage son Jack — alone in the house — locked himself in the bathroom. “When are they going to leave?” Jack pleaded when I called to check on him…
Now this event would accurately be called a “protest” if it were taking place at, say, a bank or the U.S. Capitol. But when hundreds of loud and angry strangers are descending on your family, your children, and your home, a more apt description of this assemblage would be “mob.” Intimidation was the whole point of this exercise, and it worked-even on the police. A trio of officers who belatedly answered our calls confessed a fear that arrests might “incite” these trespassers. READ MORE...
