I notice in the Blogosphere today that the Liberals are accusing Conservatives of lying about the turn out in Washington D.C.
How ironic that the Socialists are crying foul about lying; seeing that their own dear leader is quite the liar himself.
Let’s review, shall we?
My that’s quite a bit of lying.
I think his nose should be growing…
Remember this little whopper of a big lie?
…and the Kool-Aid Drinkers bought it; hook, line and sinker.
So, perhaps…. Joe Wilson; was right?
Of course, the bill was changed, after Joe Wilson called the President on it. But still, are not these other lies legit? I think they are.
Exit Question: If a Republican lied like this man has, would not he be held to a higher scrutiny? But because he is a black liberal, he skates for free? Isn’t that the honest truth?
Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, shape or form intend this posting to be considered to be any sort of disrespect towards our Nation’s Military. Those guys are out there on the battlefield so that people, like Eric Burdon; can be free to express his opinions and write songs like this one. Having said all that; I do wish this to be considered a political commentary towards our Nation’s leaders, former and current; on sending our Nation’s finest into wars that cannot be won. I also intend it to be a commentary on unjustified war. I make zero apologies for this.
In the following weeks, I was made aware of the fact that ACORN had reopened its New Orleans office (several months after the storm). Various groups from around the city informed me that Acorn was upset with us because we were in “their” community and had not sought approval from ACORN to operate there. I was told that ACORN said that we were “privileged white people who had come to a Black community as saviors and we refused to work with local Black leadership.”
The more I pondered the matter, the more I realized what was happening. As usual in marginalized and impoverished communities, a small group of radical self-proclaimed leaders was insisting that all local aid and relief came through them—even if they were AWOL for several months. Though the majority of residents either hadn’t heard of ACORN or simply disagreed with their politics- ACORN insisted that they were THE Black leaders. This was upsetting to me. Sure, the local pastor we worked most closely with was Black; but that didn’t matter to ACORN. It was as if Pastor Johnson didn’t count because he didn’t evoke the name of Elijah Mohammed or Malcolm X. It was as if Pastor Johnson didn’t count because he didn’t submit to ACORN’s mandate that ACORN was the sole leadership of Black New Orleanians.
As then director of Common Ground Relief’s 9th Ward project, I was warned by many that ACORN would ruin me politically if I didn’t submit to their leadership. I believed in what I was doing and how I was doing it. I refused to submit. The political fallout was almost unbearable. I just kept my eyes on meeting the needs of the community. When confronted by adherents to ACORN’s brand of race analysis, I pointed out that ACORN was not there immediately after the storm, so I could not have sought their leadership even if I had wanted to.
Over the following years, that particular style of political attack was prominent in New Orleans. Anytime that ACORN was displeased, the other party was deemed a racist. If the other party disagreed with the label or with ACORN’s agenda- they were met with “of course you feel that way. You are a racist.” Though it is clearly woefully inaccurate and unethical to use such an accusation as a political attack and as a means of shutting down philosophical debate and discourse, some at ACORN didn’t let that stop them. I refused to submit to it. I believed in listening to the majority of the community, who were desperate for our help, and not only to the self-proclaimed leaders. I paid a dear price for it.
Wow…. Just wow… No wonder the census bureau cut these people loose. My question is this here. Why in the heck were these chuckle-heads involved with the Government, in the first place? I mean, who was the brain-dead fool, who decided that the US Government should be involved with them?
Many questions arise here; and I will bet you that none of them will be answered, until President Obama is safely out of office and living back in Kenya Chicago.
The only objection I have to this video is this. At the part where it says, “New Boss, same as the old boss”; I would have a picture of George W. Bush, and then faded in a Picture of Obama and not Karl Marx. Because whether we want to admit it or not. Obama is just continuing the policies of Bush. The stuff that he promised to change. He has not. He is doing the same stuff.
Anyhow, it was a great protest. Even if I did sleep through most of it. 😳 😀
Update: ….and of course, Think Progress goes out of their way to find “offensive” signs and of course blame the Republicans for it. Nuance.
I figured that this would happen. But it appears that Congressman Joe Wilson is getting the “Joe The Plumber” treatment from the Liberal Media. I figured that this would happen; seeing that he dared to challenge the great fuhrer. So, now, Obama orders a blitzkrieg against the Congressman. But it did get the bill changed; which is good thing.
Hopefully, Joe Wilson can survive the onslaught from the Liberal Fascists.
Again, as I wrote before; What he did was disrespectful. But, I believe that the President is not a king and he should be challenged, if it is thought that he is lying.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) apologized Wednesday night for heckling President Barack Obama as a liar during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Wilson shouted to the president “you lie” after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.
The problem is; he was lying.
Of course, John McCain showed his true colors as a RINO:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Democratic leaders immediately called on Wilson to apologize, and he did so in a statement that said he’d let his emotions get the better of him.
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the president’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill,” Wilson said.
“While I disagree with the president’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility.”
House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson’s outburst “embarrassing,” while McCain said it was “totally disrespectful” and that there was “no place for it in that setting or any other.”
McCain said Wilson “should apologize for it immediately.”
Good ol’ Johnny McCain, always in lockstep with the Democrats. What more can be expect from someone who lied about his damn Vietnam experiences?
Of course, ol’ Shoeshine boy James Clyburn, has got to get his dig in:
Clyburn said South Carolina was already suffering because of Gov. Mark Sanford. “Now we got one of out Congresspeople to drive our reputation to a new low.”
Sanford has endured calls for his resignation after admitting to an affair.
Why is this all happening? Here’s why:
The incident was reminiscent of the town halls across the country that came to define Obama and the Democratic Party’s problems with healthcare during a tough August recess. Democratic senators and House members, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) were frequently heckled by constituents during the town halls, and the rowdiest events became staples of cable news.
Well, Golly gee… Let’s see, the President of the United States wants to essentially destroy one third of our economy; and he wonders why people, like Joe Wilson are angry?
But still there is a bit of historical context here:
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said he has never witnessed such a scene in 35 years of watching presidential addresses.
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Leahy said. “I talked to a number of my Republican friends on the way out who were mortified and angry that someone would do that.
“I’ve been in situations with presidents with whom I absolutely disagreed with,” said Leahy, who had a memorable exchange in 2004 on the Senate floor with Vice President Dick Cheney. After criticizing the vice president about his ties to Halliburton, Cheney used an obsenity with Leahy.
Still, Leahy said he hadn’t seen anything like a lawmaker calling the president a liar during an address to Congress.
“But nobody — nobody — ever has done anything like that,” he said. “He is the head of government for our country.”
He does have a point. It is a respect thing. Barack Obama is the President of the United States and some respect is due. Even if he is wrong.
The Politico has reported that Joe Wilson has called Rham Emmanuel and apologized. His Statement:
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
Which was the best thing for him to do. As the Democrats could and very much would try and censure the man. Just like they did Joe McCarthy who was working to prevent people like Barack Obama from ever getting to the White House in the first place.
Another startling report comes from Protein Wisdom, there are people; blacks mostly, that are threatening to kill Joe Wilson on Twitter. This is totally disgusting and this should be investigated by the F.B.I. —- I also received several reports that Joe Wilson’s office in D.C. or somewhere was firebombed or was going to be. I hope that this is not the case. One twitter that I read said something involving Joe Wilson’s kids. Folks, that is just not funny, at all. If you have a beef with the man, fine. But leave the family out of it.

….and boy is this one a humdinger too. Hold on to your hats. Because this one is totally off the rails.
Liberal Talk Show host Mike Malloy says that he believes that the Station Fire out in California, which was intentionally set, was set by right wingers. Unbelievable.
Here’s the Video: (H/T to Gateway Pundit) Note he even mentions Jim Hoft in the video and accuses someone who “works” for him of setting the fires! Time to lawyer up Jim!
MIKE MALLOY (1:40): The incident commander, at the so-called Station Fire, the one that’s burned 150,000 acres, and is responsible for the deaths of two firefighters; the incident commander, Mike Dietrich, says this is an act of domestic terrorism.
Now, who is known for committing acts of terrorism in the United States? The last big one was Timothy McVeigh, who took the lives of 168 people, I think this is exactly what the report from Department of Homeland Security four to five months ago was warning against.
That these insane people, the neo-fascists on the right, the Republicans who have flipped out, the ones who are terrified that the President of the United States is going to address schoolchildren, the ones who are convinced that in an attempt to reign in health care costs to make it a little easier and more competitive is acting in the spirit of Adolf Hitler; the ones who carry guns; these crazy SOBs are the ones responsible, in my opinion, for the fire.
I would not be surprised to find out that someone had the copy of the protocols of the Elders of Zion in their back pocket; or a book of racist information about those damn Negroes in the other back pocket; or somebody who used to be a Klansman; or an NRA board member perhaps, yeah, that would make sense, wouldn’t it; or somebody who works for (US Senator) Jim Inhofe out in Oklahoma, or one of the tea baggers, or one of the birthers, or one of the deathers, or a whole group of them decided hey, it’s a perfect opportunity man, it is California, let’s go get all the fruits and nuts out there – let’s set a big ass fire.
I am pretty convinced that this act of domestic terrorism, that’s what it’s called by the station fire commander, Mike Dietrich, he said any act against the wild is domestic terrorism. Now who usually commits these acts of domestic terrorism? Bill Ayers? No! Some goddamn hippie? No!
Usually, it’s a crazed right-winger that has been pushed beyond the limit of their little tiny lemur brains by people like Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity or crazy-eyes Michelle Malkin, they are the ones that push people that committ acts of terror!
ED SCHULTZ FILL-IN HOST (01:37): Are the Republicans so mentally ill that another Oklahoma City bombing is looming?
HOST (02:31): I’m scared now for my country, I am. People have gone so far off the rails that something very, very scary, I feel it coming and I’m trying to deny my feelings but I gotta share it with you right here on the Ed Schultz show.
HOST: He was so hateful of the federal government and I blame Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, the whole bunch of those guys who whipped up such hysteria about the government, the government (!!), that a couple of wackos took matters into their own hands, got violent and blew things up, and I feel the hysteria building now.
Unbelievable. Truly classless and utterly asinine. To accuse those, of whom you disagree with of murder? That is over the top and totally uncalled for. Mike Malloy should be fired from his job immediately.
Anyone that has Mike Malloy’s home address and telephone number, please contact me here on the blog, use the contact me button and do it via private e-mail. I will post his home address and telephone numbers with an shot of his house for all to see. Way I see it, you say stupid stuff like this; you forfeit your right to privacy.
