Obama: Open Up Your Hearts To This Racist

Posted By Dave Snope

Obama didn’t merely sit in the pews – or not -- for Derrick Bell. He didn’t just hang out with Derrick Bell for prayers. He said:

“Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.”

If we did, here’s what we’d be opening our hearts and minds to. This is a close associate of Jeremiah Wright, a man who was quoted by Jeremiah Wright regularly. This is a man who posited that the civil rights movement was too moderate because it accepted the status quo, and believed that the entire legal and constitutional system had to be transformed in radical fashion. This is a man so extreme that, as we’ve reported, he wrote a story in 1993 in which he posited that white Americans would sell black Americans into slavery to aliens to relieve the national debt, and that Jews would go along with it.

There’s far more coming on Derrick Bell. This is just the beginning. And this video is a smoking gun showing that Barack Obama not only associated with radicals, he was their advocate.

9 Military Aircraft Pulled From Duty For Obama Cam

Posted By Dave Snope

Chicago Jesus gets a big chunk of the U.S. Air Force to haul his junk around to his $35,000/plate campaign events. Even with all of those planes in the air, Michelle will probably fly on Air Force 2 so she can shop the top high-fashion stores on her own schedule.

The U.S. Air Force is pulling nine cargo aircraft from military operations to support President Barrack Obama’s stepped-up visits to campaign events.

The five medium-capacity C-130s and four heavyweight C-17s will be used to ferry security vehicles, armored limousines and communications gear into cities ahead of Obama’s campaign appearances.

In the months before November, the president is expected to fly into multiple cities per week, and speak at multiple sites per day. On Mar. 8, for example, the president will fly to Richmond, and then drive over to a Rolls-Royce aircraft-parts factory. That evening, he’ll fly down to Houston, Texas.

His wife, the Vice President and many of his cabinet secretaries are using the Air Force’s fleet of VIP aircraft to visit more states as the election season speeds up.

The nine cargo aircraft will begin operations in April, said Maj. Michelle Lai, communications officer for the Air Force’s 89th Airlift Wing. “They’ll stand down in November 2012,” she said.

Filmmaker Can't Find Any Faults in Obama

Posted By Dave Snope

This guy made me LOL. What a stupid little man. This fawning sycophant was like this about Al Gore, too, back in the heady days of faking dead polar bear images for another master. I suppose that being a adulatory bootlicker is an important part of being a successful propagandist.

[I]Documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim defended his new film about President Obama on CNN Thursday, saying that the problem in making it was that there were “too many accomplishments” about the president to fit into a 17 minute piece.

Guggenheim, best known for his documentaries “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Waiting for Superman,” was charged with producing a short film for the Obama campaign chronicling the president’s first term in office — but some critics have chaffed at the label “documentary” being applied to a campaign-commissioned film.

“The negative for me was there were too many accomplishments. I had, you know, 17 minutes to put them all in there,” Guggenheim told CNN’s Piers Morgan.

Where do you find fault in Obama, Morgan asked.

“I don’t, frankly,” Guggenheim said. “I’m really quite in awe of him as a leader.”[/I]

Flucke Is Now Represent By Anita 'Mao' Dunn

Posted By Dave Snope

President Ladies Tees must have hooked her up:

SKDKnickerbocker, a PR agency whose managing director is former White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, is now representing Fluke. Dunn is perhaps best known for her attack on Fox News and for naming Chinese revolutionary and Communist leader Mao Tse Tung as one of her favorite political philosophers back in 2009.

It's The Spending, Stupid

Posted By Dave Snope

Welfare-state expenditures were 583 percent higher in 2008 than the were in 1965.



For years, the Democratic Party’s raison d’être has been to establish, defend, and expand the welfare state. The Democrats could have told us all along—forthrightly, scrupulously, and unambiguously—that their project would cost a lot of money and that, should economic growth be insufficient to pay for it, big tax increases would be necessary. Had they done so, they would be in a strong position to argue that the terms of the deal they struck with yesterday’s voters oblige today’s Americans to pay higher taxes.

But that’s not what they did.

RFKjr Accuses Skeptic Sen. Inhofe of Treason

Posted By Dave Snope

If you don't believe in his religion, you are an apostate. That's been the tone of RFKjr since I remember him blaming Bush for hurricane Katrina, calling for oil companies to be tried as traitors, saying skeptics are "flat-earthers" (sound familiar astromarters?), and spreading conspiracy theory lies about autism, the environment, and natural disasters.

On his radio show, Ring of Fire, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr not only took the opportunity to defend a tweet accusing Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) of being a prostitute for big oil but he doubled down saying Senator Inhofe’s actions amounted to treason.

NY Times Double Standard: Catholic and Islam

Posted By Dave Snope

By Mark Steyn

Pamela Geller was struck by that ad The New York Times ran the other day, “It’s Time To Quit The Catholic Church“( http://nlt.ashbrook.org/assets_c/2012/03/New%20York%20Times%20Anti-Catholic%20Ad-344.php ), an “open letter to ‘liberal’ and ‘nominal’ Catholics”. So she sent in her own ad, “It’s Time To Quit Islam“ ( http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2012/03/counter-jihad-offense-afdisioa-counters-new-york-times-anti-catholic-ad-with-same-only-accurate.html ), an “open letter to ‘moderate’ Muslims”. Analogous artwork, same pitch, only difference being the intended target. The Times’ Senior Vice-President for Corporate Hogwash called to tell Miss Geller that – surprise! surprise! – they were way less eager to rush this one into print:


Bob Christie, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications for the New York Times, just called me to advise me that they would be accepting my ad, but considering the situation on the ground in Afghanistan, now would not be a good time, as they did not want to enflame an already hot situation. They will be reconsidering it for publication in “a few months.”

So I said to Mr. Christie, “Isn’t this the very point of the ad? If you feared the Catholics were going to attack the New York Times building, would you have run that ad?”

So I said to Mr. Christie, “Isn’t this the very point of the ad? If you feared the Catholics were going to attack the New York Times building, would you have run that ad?”

Mr. Christie said, “I’m not here to discuss the anti-Catholic ad.”

I said, “But I am, it’s the exact same ad.”

He said, “No, it’s not.”

I said, “I can’t believe you’re bowing to this Islamic barbarity and thuggery. I can’t believe this is the narrative. You’re not accepting my ad. You’re rejecting my ad. You can’t even say it.”


Thus the courage of the secular left: If you’re going to be “provocative”, it’s best to do it with people who can’t be provoked. Pamela is right. If you want to be treated with respect by The New York Times and the rest of the multiculti establishment, make it clear you’re willing to kill them. That’s an interesting message to send.
