Yes, it is wrong when someone rips up a poster of Rosa Parks

This is one of those postings that is going to most likely anger some on the far right that might read this blog.

I have two words for ’em.

Fuck ‘Em. 😡

Pam Spaulding of whom I have zero in common with, when it comes to politics; but this right here goes way beyond that and yes, it is highly racist and yes, it pisses me the hell off — reports about some ass-clown who took it upon himself to rip up some woman’s poster of Rosa Parks.

Here’s the video:

In case, you cannot see what they guy does; here is a picture of a close up:

A blog called Hating, Not Debating has the details:

This is the only video of what actually happened at the event this afternoon. The news only showed the woman being escorted away by the police. What happened was the women walked in with signs, the crowd booed and yelled at the women. The women rolled up their posters and put them down. A photographer/reporter approached the woman on the end and wanted to see what the poster was. As the woman went to show the photographer/reporter what the poster was, a man from the bleachers stood up and snatched the poster from the woman and photographer/reporter. As the woman went to retrieve her poster the police stepped in and escorted the woman and the man from the building.
The poster was not of Obama, it was not pro health care, the poster that was taken from the woman and wrinkled up into a ball was of Rosa Parks.
National news coverage only showed the woman being escorted from the forum and left out the fact that it was the man who started the incident. Not to mention it was a poster of Rosa Parks.

Okay, here is the deal; I understand that many people are not too thrilled about Obama’s attempt to Nationalize the healthcare system in this Country. Count me among those who are not too trilled about it either. But this sort of nonsense right here is just fucking wrong. First off all, just who the fuck appointed this asshole to be the offical “Snatch the poster guy?” Second of all; how much more of a racist message could you send to the African-American community, than by ripping up a poster of an icon of the civil rights movement in this Country?

As a Conservative who is well versed in the Republican Party’s historic fight against segregation in the south; this steams me to my damn core. Anyone who has ever read my about me page, knows that I have a thing for history; and this idiot just took a fucking page from the pre-1964 civil rights right act playbook of the Democratic Party.

I may take heat for writing this, but I just do not give a damn! This asshole does not represent me, nor anyone ELSE, that I know in Conservatism! 😡

Let me be absolutely clear, I have and will continue to use this blog to speak out against identity politics and stupidity that is associated with it on the left. But this is a clear cut case of racism and it is wrong. I will speak about against that, no matter what the cost.

Update: WizBang reports that it was a volunteer who was working the event. But that does not excuse this, as it was still wrong. Hope the damn bastard does some serious time for it.

Even more Obama Astroturfing

I was going include this item in the previous posting, but it was getting a bit long, so, I thought I would make a separate posting on it.

Not only are the Socialist Liberals bringing in people on buses, and planting people in the audience at the President’s townhalls, but they are also having their people walking around with signs.

The BlogProf picks it up, and mentions Nancy Pelsoi’s idiots Nazi statement and delivers the following bombshell:

Once she said this, all of a sudden Obama as Hitler posters started popping up at townhall meetings, particularly this one at John Dingell’s townhall last Thursday:Note the black man holding up the poster. This screenshot was used in reports by the MSM who painted the protesters as Nazis. Here’s the thing, though – that black man is a Dingell supporter! Last Friday, Frank Beckmann on his show broadcast on WJR 760 AM interviewed an eyewitness that said not only were union thugs let in through a side door before anyone else was let into the venue, but that he clearly saw from his vantage point that very Obama as Hitler poster in that back hallway after the union thugs took their seats. The interview was around 11:00am, but WJR chose not to post that audio (they only tend to select one or two clips a day to post). I thought it would have been bigger news, and needed more than just that to write a post, albeit an audio clip would have partially sufficed. In any case, I’ve been scouring YouTube and the web for more info, and have finally found some. Here is one account that was posted Monday over at FreeRepublic:
A couple that were at Dingals TH meeting said there was a black man outside with a sign comparing Obama the Adolf Hitler. After the meeting ended and when everyone was leaving this same man was handing out Dingal campaign flyers.
Sorry no link, I’m on my Palm but maybe someone can download it from Fox and post the link.
If the link is out there, I haven’t found it yet (**see update for footage**). The plant poster was used by the liberal media and Soros-funded Michigan blogs such as MichiganLiberal and the national blog the Daily Kos:
Before I had even parked the car, I saw a young African American guy carrying a 5-foot tall picture of President Obama with a Hitler mustache.
Game on.

Game on indeed, go over and read this rest of this, it is pretty explosive. More plays from the Saul Alinsky playbook. If you cannot beat them, attempt to marginalize them.

Obama's Astroturfing

Here I go with my first post InstaPundit avalanche posting; wish me luck. 😉 Again, thanks to Glenn for that. I just hope like heck that I can live up to expectations of those who have bookmarked my site. 😮

First off, I did not watch the Obama Townhall, so, I have no bias in this story, at all. However, I do find it humorous that Obama is at the point of having to bus in supporters and use plants to get a friendly crowd, sounds like desperation to me.

The first AstroTurf proof is here. Michelle Malkin reports the that the Boston Globe writes the following:

A girl from Malden asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in New Hampshire about the signs outside “saying mean things” about his health care proposal.
Eleven-year-old Julia Hall asked: “How do kids know what is true, and why do people want a new system that can — that help more of us?”
The question opened the door for the president to respond to what he called an “underlying fear” among the public “that people somehow won’t get the care they need.”
The girl later told the Globe that picking the president’s brain was “incredible.”
“It was like a once in a lifetime experience,” she said.
Julia’s mother was an early Obama supporter in Massachusetts during the presidential election, so she had previously met First Lady Michelle Obama, the Obama daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Joe Biden.
“This was my first time meeting Barack Obama, and he’s a very nice man,” Julia said. “I’m glad I voted for him.”
She said Obama won a mock presidential election at the Cheverus School in 2008. And on Tuesday, he approached her after the town meeting.
“He said ‘great question,’” Julia said. “I shook his hand and got his picture.”
Kathleen Manning Hall, Julia’s mother, was shocked when her daughter said she wanted to ask a question. They wrote it down beforehand, and Julia didn’t miss a beat when Obama called on her.
“It was surreal,” said Manning Hall, a coordinator of Massachusetts Women for Obama during the election.

However, there is a slight problem, I will let Michelle take it from here:

As we always like to point out: There are no coincidences in Obama world.
[….]
Tons of readers point to this AR15.com post tracking Hall’s political footprint, including this Facebook page and photo:
Manning Hall has donated thousands of dollars to Obama, as has her law firm.
But, you know, um, like Obama said: “I don’t want people saying I just have a bunch of plants in here.”
Oh, goodness. Of course not.
KABUKI!
***
Now, look for Dems to play the kiddie human shield card to the hilt. Anyone who mentions Hall’s political pedigree will be attacked as a vicious meanie stalker. Graeme Frost redux!

Now why am I not surprised that this happened. A Healthcare bill, of whom support is dropping like a rock. No wonder the President is desperate.

Oh, but that is not all!

Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit has more…:

Bus-ted…
Team Obama bussed in their supporters for the socialized health care meeting yesterday in New Hampshire:
Local WMUR has the full video report from the rally.
HotAirPundit has a photo.
The hundreds of anti-Obamacare protesters waited out in the rain.
Funny… During the meeting Barack Obama told his supporters:
“I don’t want people thinking I just have a bunch of plants in here.”
No, we sure wouldn’t want that to happen.
People might think the town hall was just a staged dog and pony show.

That is because it was a staged dog and pony show; to shore up support for the idiotic health-care plan that this idiotic Administration is trying to get rammed through Congress. I believe that this is all going to backfire in the face of Congress and the President and that his numbers are going to tank, as they are doing right now. As I have written on here before, this is all just a part of the massive overreach by this Administration. They have overreached terribly and now they are trying desperately to cover for it. The problem is, the genie is out of the bottle, the independent Americans have totally turned against this awful idea of the Congress and yes, the President. The smartest thing that the Congress and Senate can do, is kill this bill and either rethink things or just forget it. Americans are just not ready for European socialism.

On Guns, Obama and the Right

I wanted to do a posting on this and I did not want to do the usual quoting someone else and then adding my thoughts routine. On this posting, I did want to give my complete original thought with reference links as needed. Yes, I am fully aware, as I am sure most of you are; about the idiot Ron Paul follower, who took it upon himself to bring his gun to an event that President Barack Obama was going to be attending. I have also seen the interview that this person gave to Chris Matthews at MSNBC —-which I might add, that the man handled himself very well. Being that he did not fall for the baited trap that Chris Matthews laid out for him.

However, on the subject of what actually took place here, was this man well within his Constitutional right; being he was well within the proper law to carry his gun, the answer to this question is an obvious yes. The second question is and I will answer it; is this. Was it really in the best interests of Conservative, Republicans, and yes, even libertarians and law abiding gun owners for this man to show up at a town-hall meeting where the President of the United States was going to be attending with a Firearm and a sign that says that the Government needs to be overthrown by a violent revolution? I say this as not only Conservative who believes in the right to carry a firearm. But as someone who believes in something, that is not found in this day and age of internet sound bites, called common sense — I am going to come down on that side and say that this man was totally out of line and should been removed from the area. The reason I say this is because I happen to know that our President is getting more threats on his life now, than when the previous Administration was in power.

Please, do not get me wrong, I fully believe in the right to carry and own firearms. As long as that carrying of a firearm, is well within the proper laws of that said state. However, I also believe that this man was horrible distraction to our Secret Service whose job it is to protect our President. This is the huge difference between the mainstream Conservatives and yes, Republicans, who believe in the idea of “Rule of Law” and the whole “Viva Revolution” Ron Paul crowd who believe in a so-called peaceful (Wink Wink) Revolution. The Ron Paul crowd believes that the “Rule of Law” infringes on the Constitutional rights of every American citizen. This, in the opinion of this writer, is an extremist position that is rooted in the concept on anarchy. This is the reason why I consider myself a Conservative, who leans more towards the thought process of a Republican than a libertarian one, because I believe in a moderate interpretation of the Constitution, and because I believe the concept of a rule of law.

The whole depressing aspect of this whole story is this, it simply feeds in to the socialist left’s talking points that guns promote violence and that the right are bunch of gun toting nut cases that run around waiting for a chance to shoot the President. Which I happen to know is bunch of nonsense as does anyone else who has a half of a brain. This is why I happen to believe that the Republican Party and generally Conservatives as a whole need to articulate a clear distinction, between the Constitutional extremists of the “Ron Paul” crowd and those of us who do not subscribe to that sort of a mindset.

Update: InstaPundit Links in… Thanks Glenn!

Quote of the Day

“The new Evangelical Left, like the old Social Gospel Religious Left of decades ago, always materialistically equates Big Government and centralized control with the Kingdom of God. They learned no lessons from the 20th century, when Big Government again and again wreaked destruction and was often the antithesis of Christian teachings. For the Religious Left, Obamacare is just one more opportunity for coercion and eradication of private initiative.
“Revealingly, the Religious Left seems uninterested in lowering doctors’ expenses by limiting lawsuit abuse or providing tax credits towards private coverage. Such proposals distract from the larger agenda of expanding state power.

“Why do Religious Left activists always worship at the altar of the Big Government? More traditional religious believers, understanding human nature, look to other altars.”

Voices from the intelligent Liberal Left

This comes via FreedomWorks:

Washington, DC — Today, FreedomWorks released an apology to leftist political organizations, including MoveOn.org, the Democratic National Committee, the AFL-CIO, and ACORN for our apparent ignorance of the fine art of political discourse.
FreedomWorks’ August Recess Call to Action encouraged grassroots citizens to attend Congressional town hall meetings and listening sessions. We asked everyone to voice their opinions and communicate their opposition to the President’s proposed hostile takeover of the American health care system. Apparently, the very act of showing up and having an opinion is, in effect, to act like a “thug.” Opposing President Obama’s policy agenda on health care is, in and of itself, unacceptable, and has no place in our democracy. Bottom line: it’s “disgusting,” according to our friends on the left.
We didn’t know this. Evidently, we also didn’t know best practices in a respectful, dignified policy debate, but our leftist friends were kind enough to “take FreedomWorks to school”, so to speak.
Specifically, “school” included phone call blitzes from MoveOn.org and the AFL-CIO that jammed FreedomWorks phone lines and filled up staff voice mail boxes. Callers’ consistently used profanity, vulgarity, ever-popular references to “Nazis” and “brown-shirters,” racial slurs targeting an African-American staffer, and even veiled threats of violence and bodily harm.
Now we know how an intelligent political debate unfolds. Thank You!
FreedomWorks would like to share some of the more interesting examples of this brand of debate, graciously communicated to staff via voice mail by some of the more learned members of the thoughtful left.
Please click on the links below (WARNING: If you, like the uninformed members of FreedomWorks, do not have an appropriately sophisticated and “progressive” view of political discourse, you may find the content of these recordings extremely offensive. They use profanity, crude sexual innuendo, racist remarks, and very, very bad English)

Here are the recordings in question; just listen to the intelligence in this messages:

“You’re a total d**khead. Bye-bye, you little a**hole.”

“You all suffer from the same f**king problem: you didn’t get laid enough when you were younger because you’re 5’ 3”. … Girls never paid any attention to you… You’re a little f**king dweeb who f**king didn’t get any p**** his whole f**king life… You’re a little f**king piece of shit and I would f**king step on your fu**king head quicker than you could shake a stick out, if I had the chance… You’re the f**king minority.”

We are using tactics like Hitler to disrupt democracy. “If I have to pick up a weapon…then I will.”

Someone who’s most likely masturbating while breathing heavily into the phone.

“F**king buddies’ wives…”

“Stop disrupting my democracy with Nazi, Brownshirt tactics…you immoral bast****.”

Threat to respond violently to town hall attendees. “I hope this backfires on that piece of s*** Dick Armey.”

“I hope you have a hard time sleeping at night.”

“You are almost as bad as the communists… You’re from out of the country, obviously.”

“Your Brownshirt tactics are unacceptable, un-American.”

Amazing…. when they cannot win the debate; this is what happens. Threats, Insults, Foul Language. I smell desperation.

This must be what the White House meant by push back harder. More of Obama’s Communist Community organizing

Democrats channel the Bush Administration

The Democrats have now turned to the tactics of the 2003 Bush Administration; calling any sort of dissent “UnAmerican” A move that has many Republicans and Conservatives; and yes, even some Democrats quite upset.

The quote that has sent Conservatives into a tizzy is this:

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.

Que the Video:

Another whopper in this Op-Ed piece is this here:

Reform will also mean higher-quality care by promoting preventive care so health problems can be addressed before they become crises. This, too, will save money. We’ll be a much healthier country if all patients can receive regular checkups and tests, such as mammograms and diabetes exams, without paying a dime out-of-pocket.

As The Founding Bloggers points out; this might be true, if you do not count the levy of Taxes that will be put on the backs of the American people. They may tell you, “Oh, we are not going to tax anybody!” But sooner or later, the CBO will have to deliver the news that America cannot afford to continue the program, unless the American people are taxed. Money does not grow on trees folks. You can bet your sweet behind that sooner or later, taxes will be levied on the American people. If you have a job, you will taxed, bet on it.

The real sad part here is, that the Democrats are taking a page right straight out of the Bush Administration’s playbook. By accusing those who have opposing views of being Anti-American. That will be their biggest mistake, because independent-minded people, like me, see this and think, “Wow, sounds like Bush all over again!”. Which is how this sounds. You would think that the Democrats learned that lesson during the last eight years.That you do not, not matter what happens; invoke the “Anti-American” word towards anyone that does not agree with you. It is one thing for a blogger like me to say this, about Liberals; because it is my opinion of them. But for someone of Capital Hill to say this; Whether it be Republican or Democrat, is not smart politics at all.

This is just another installment of the massive overreach by the Democrats, they will pay for this in the 2010 election cycle. Usually, a good rule of thumb is, if you are digging your own hole, stop shoveling. In this case, the Democrats rented a backhoe!

Noted Detroit Sports Writer and Faux Liberal Hack says "Hey Townhalls Protests are American too!"

From the ultra-Liberal Detroit Free Press‘s Mitch Albom:

I have no illusions about protesters at the recent town hall meetings on health care.

Mitch Albom
Some are fueled by angry conservative groups. Some are hopped up on radio hosts’ rants and ravings. Some are Barack Obama haters. Some use one piece of wrong information to smear an entire event.
And some just think the whole idea of government health care stinks.
But all of them — all of them — have the right to be there, and the right to their point of view. Liberal-minded thinkers who regularly speak up for the poor and underprivileged cannot suddenly yank the rug when it comes to free speech for others.
No matter what I think of national health care — no matter what you think, either — it is an issue that affects everyone, and everyone should have the same right to talk, argue or shout about it.
The fact that some are doing so in an impolite, abrasive way is unfortunate.
[…]
Now, I know some of these protesters are sent by dubiously named groups like Americans for Prosperity, which sounds harmless enough, until you check and see the group’s leader once organized for Enron and worked with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
I know these groups often hand out instructions on how to be disruptive.
And I know some people just want to see Obama — and any of his plans — fail.
But that’s what America is. That’s what town halls are for. And let’s be honest, politicians try to orchestrate these events as much as protesters do. The only problem I have is when people won’t let others speak or come only to disrupt. That’s not right. That’s not democracy.
But the rest is. If you feel other people are ill-informed, take the time to try to correct them. If you feel others are shouting to bring down a cause, shout to bring it up.
But I would rather live in a place where people questioned what their government proposed rather than swallowing it blindly — especially a government whose members guard our tax money while taking bribes, shout morality and then get caught with their pants down, or lecture businessmen about private planes and then order a bunch for themselves.
What did Democrats expect with a bill like this? Roses and hosannas? Many who supported Obama’s campaign promises of health care for everyone wouldn’t have done so if they read how he now plans to pay for and administer it.
It may not be pretty, but shouting and confrontations are part of this country. They have been from the start. More manners would be better. But silence would be worse.

Listening to this idiot yowl on about this; is like listening to Aleister Crowley say that Jesus Christ is Lord. You know the words coming out of his mouth, but you know damn well that the person does not mean a damn word of it. Albom goes on to very lamely attempt to paint a parallel between these Townhalls and the Anti-War Demonstrations of the Vietnam era. Which in itself is an idiotic comparison. The difference is that those war protests were done by a bunch of America-hating assholes, who wanted to see us lose and come home defeated. For what it is worth Mitch; Vietnam was started by a Democrat, The man who was the driving force and architect behind Vietnam was a liberal Democrat — something that that he went to his grave regretting. Also, want to know which party ended Vietnam?? It was the Republicans! After that idiot liberal broadcaster Walter Cronkite lost it for us, there was nothing more we could do! Anyhow, these townhall protests are being put on by those who happen to give two shits about our Country and the direction that it is headed in; people like me and every other damned person that either shows up at them and happens to Blog about them.

Further more, the problem here is Mitch Albom is a nothing more than an opportunist. This guy used to bash Bush and from what I have read, he used to trash Reagan as well. So, while on the surface, he comes off as someone who is attempting to defend the America people’s right to free speech. In reality Albom is really trying to mock those who really care about this Country. So, nice try Mitch, but you should really stick to what you know —- Sports.

Meet one of the attackers at the St Louis Townhall Meeting

Thanks to Conservative New Media on Twitter, We now know might have attacked the Conservative activist in St. Louis.

Like the video says, we cannot be sure of this, at this time. But we do know that this guy was on the video.

From the Video’s page:

Hundreds show up on St Louis, Mo to protest thug actions of the Union

A couple hundred Patriotic Americans came in protest in St Louis, Mo to protest the senseless violence against a Conservative Black Man.

First a few Photos, come via Gateway Pundit:

Hat Tip Jay
St. Louis Tea Party Patriots ask the ACORN-SEIU Union– “Don’t Tread On Me!”

Gadsen Girls, talk radio host Dana Loesch (left) and Critical Care RN Stephanie Rubach begged the SEIU thugs not to beat them.

Although he was too weak to speak after his beating on Thursday, black conservative Kenneth Gladney attended the event. Kenneth was beaten, kicked and called racist names by SEIU Russ Carnahan supporters after a town hall meeting on Thursday.

Sadly, the ACLU and the NAACP did not send representatives to the rally.

Head on over to Gateway Pundit to read the rest of this story. These SEIU thugs will not get away with this. This is only the beginning of a long war. We will not be silenced, We will not submit to terrorist thugs. We will win; one way or another!
