Associated Press continues to dig themselves into a P.R. Hole…

Now, they’ve set a “toll booth” up for people to pay them for articles used and quoted.

You know, I am all for copyright enforcement and respecting of other people’s intellectual property and all that kind of stuff, but this is just downright stupid and will end up costing the AP readership in the end.

I will continue the boycott of quoting or linking directly to AP articles until this stupidity stops.

Barack and Hillary together again?

That’s what they’re saying….

Quote from the New York Daily News:

Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama for a joint appearance in Washington next week to persuade her donors to begin giving to the Democrats’ nominee, the Daily News has learned.

It’s the first known plan to bring together the victor and vanquished from the Democrat primary race and put their pledges of unity for the fall campaign into action.

Jonathan Mantz, Clinton’s national finance director, sent top Clinton fundraisers an e-mail today inviting them to the event on June 26.

“As we move forward, we invite you to join us for a National Finance Committee meeting with both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on Thursday, June 26th in Washington, D.C., to discuss how we can work together to support Barack Obama and the Democratic Party,” Mantz wrote.

“Hillary ran for President because she wants to put this country on the right track,” Mantz wrote. “She continues to fight and stand strong for our values and priorities and will do everything she can to unify the party and to elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.”

I just wonder how much Racism, fear mongering and Republican style attacks will be used at this little get together? I wonder if Hillary will whine publicly about how she was entitled to the Presidency, because she was a woman?

It is to wonder….

From the Dept of “Ya Think?”

Senate Panel accuses Bush of Iraq Exaggerations.

Go read the story, and the go read the right wing spin, like from Jack Moss and the rest of Bush Cheerleaders.

The problem all that up there? Bush’s own Administration admitted that there were mistakes made. 

Reality bites, so bad for some, that they would rather live in some altered state of reality. It is truly a sad thing to watch, really. Some people just cannot admit, that their fearless, chickenhawk leader screwed up.

Nutroots Divided?

Seems the Liberal sissy Moonbats have no love for one another. Devil

This comes via Ann Althouse.

TNR’s Dana Goldstein writes:

As anybody with high-speed Internet knows, MyDD and Daily Kos sit at the top of the liberal Netroots movement, which over the last five years has made astonishing strides in its campaign to transform the Democratic Party into a hard-fighting, proudly liberal, and, most importantly, victorious entity. Though their websites offer distinct communities and commentaries, and though they have very different personalities, MyDD founder Jerome Armstrong (a former astrologer) and Kos’s Markos Moulitsas (a former Army man) have always gotten along–the two co-authored a 2006 book, Crashing the Gate, about the rise of their movement. Their bond has been rooted mostly in common foes: Republicans, namby-pamby Democrats, the Iraq War, divisive "identity politics," and the centrist Democratic Leadership Council. But the harmony that existed between MyDD and Kos since the birth of the Netroots no longer exists today, and a bitter internecine struggle within the progressive blogosphere is to blame. Just as bilious in tone as previous fights with Republicans or Joe Lieberman, it has revealed fault lines in the movement that will be tough to cover back up. There have been charges of misogyny and of bullying, and some longtime members have walked away from their cause altogether. And what’s at the heart of it all is that most loaded of questions: Barack or Hillary?

[….]

After announcing her departure from the site, Alegre was the subject of insults by dozens of commenters. Moulitsas fumed on the site’s front page, "People expect me to give a damn that a bunch of whiny posters ‘go on strike’ and leave in a huff. When I don’t give a damn, people get angry that their expectations aren’t being met." Of course, characterizing Clinton supporters, especially female Clinton supporters, as "whiny," didn’t sit well with many. A Maryland mother of two in her mid-40s, Alegre said she won’t publicize her real name because she fears harassment from anti-Clinton bloggers and commenters.

There’s no doubt that the tone of the Netroots’ Clinton-bashing has veered rather far from policy substance. After the Huffington Post scoop, Daily Kos front page writer Dana Houle wrote a bizarre diary (one he didn’t post to the homepage) recounting how his impressions of Hillary Clinton had changed since 1992, when he saw Bill Clinton give a speech at the University of Michigan. "It was the night I learned the term MILF, and it was applied to Hillary Clinton," wrote Houle. In the same post, he described seeing a couple in the crowd at the Clinton speech engaged in a sex act. Later Houle, who is 43 and was once  chief-of-staff for New Hampshire Congressman Paul Hodes, brushed off the suggestion that sexualizing Clinton had been inappropriate. "Some people will look for a reason to be outraged no matter what," he explained, telling me that most of Clinton’s support in the liberal blogosphere comes from marginal writers.

However, Ann Althouse disagrees:

Really? Upper middle class? I can believe there are more men than women, but enough to make it "relatively homogenous"?

She has a point, I did not care of Barry’s style either, Being a former Conservative-Minded Democrat, He lacked substance, this was before all the Jeremiah Wright nonsense came out. He never could directly answer a question. He would always, and still does, dance around direct questions, he has zero substance, it is all flash and glam and personality. He might be a great person, but if he has no substance, what good is he? Nobody seems to want to address that question.

The answer is simply this, the Democrat Party is all about entitlements, Hillary is a Woman, she seems to believe that she is entitled to be President, because she was Bill Clinton’s wife and because she is a woman, because she has a vagina, that makes her entitled to be President. The same way with Barry, He is a black man, He believes that he is entitled to be President, because of the injustices that were perpetuated against his people over 300 years ago, that makes B. Hussein Obama entitled to be President. Never mind that the fact that he is an empty suit with zero political experience. Never mind the fact that he did little or nothing of great impact in the Chicago senate, that is unless you count the cocaine snorting and gay sex.  However, because he is black, and he is the Obamassiah, he will ride into the White House on the shoulders of one the biggest liberals and communist sympathizers out there, the late Martin Luther King Jr.  By the way, the true story on Larry Sinclair’s Lie detector is:

The raw computer readings showed that Larry Sinclair passed the test with flying colours. But two testers hired by Whitehouse.com re-interpreted the readings to claim that they showed deception. One of the testers was Edward I. Gelb who has been exposed by specialists in the field for claiming a phony Ph.D.

Can you say, Cover up? I knew you could!

Like I said, it is all about the entitlements. It is what the Democrats are all about. That and identity Politics, and we all know, Barry is a master at that.

Hillary wins Puerto Rico, not that it means anything

Hillary Clinton has won Puerto Rico, But it doesn’t mean a thing.  You know, it really amazes me, that Hillary Supporters are bitching a blue streak, because the popular votes don’t actually select the nominee.  My question is, where the hell were these people during civics class? Quite obviously not paying attention. 

What really amuses me is, how these people like to complain that Hillary was robbed. Please. Rolling Eyes Obama’s name was not on the Michigan ballot, because the stupid actions of the National Democrat Party, and Obama, in loyalty to his party and it’s idiotic rules, agreed not to campaign there. So, in all honesty, who was really robbed at a chance to win the state? I think that answer is very obvious.

I’m sitting here now, listening to some idiotic Hillary supporter on MSNBC, I mean, can that the stupid bitch be any more out of tune with reality? Holy cripes

I think that the Hillary camp and her many supporters ought to just get real and just admit that Hillary lost and accept it and move the hell on. Otherwise, we will have to contend with the 3rd term of George W. Bush and the Democrats and Hillary supporters will have no one to blame, but themselves.

Last thought before heading to bed….

You know, this bunch of stupid crap right here, is why I no longer wish to be counted among the Democrats anymore.

Chuck Baldwin is getting my vote.

Obama's lead strategist has lobbyist ties….Media Buries it.

Now this is quite interesting…

Why wasn’t Michael Isikoff’s investigative piece outlining the lobbying connections of Barack Obama’s lead strategist, David Axelrod, promoted in Newsweek’s Sunday e-mail to subscribers?

I’ve cropped the article descriptions from this list for purposes of formatting this post, but I have not removed any of the articles. Although Isikoff’s report appears in the same June 2 issue of Newsweek as the stories at right, it is nowhere to be found here. And it should be, especially considering that the first four articles listed are all generally pro-Obama in their tilt and three are explicitly framed as advice for candidate Obama. The other four articles cover minor issues such as Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and John McCain.

What happened? One slim possibility is that the article is online-only and thus not eligible for inclusion in a round-up of magazine stories. But this seems not to be the case, as the screen capture above indicates, Newsweek says it’s in the print edition. – Via Blog PI

I must say, I’ve suspected that the liberal media was in the tank for Obama, and this just confirms what I’ve thought all along.

It is pretty stinking bad, when Newsweek, which is owned by MSNBC, buries a story, so the Bloggers won’t get grab the story and run with it. This is the SAME network that allowed their resident liberal attack dog, Keith Olbermann to attack the damned President for trying to control the media, but yet, they do the same damn thing themselves. The hypocrisy of the Left is so vast, you could park the Pentagon, The White House AND the Capital Building in Washington DC in it.   

Now maybe I will get lucky Keith Olbermann will name me worst person in the World for saying that about him, one can only hope, God knows I need the traffic for this Blog. Of course, if I honestly gave two flips what that lapdog for Media Matters for America and the DailyKos thought, I wouldn’t be writing this Blog, now would I? Winking

Seriously, I shouldn’t talk about Keith like that, DohI don’t disagree with everything Keith says. Some stuff I do agree with, especially the things about Bush and the Iraq War, and the Kool-Air drinking right. Some of the stuff, like him ripping on Armed Forces staff at the Pentagon, who are ALSO Soldiers. I don’t agree with. But for the most part, I know he means well. I just wish he’d learn to train the damn fire of that flame thrower at the right people, that’s all. Big Grin (Which he does do, 95% of the time. It’s just that 5% that he gets wrong that annoys me. At wits end)

Castro to Obama: "Oh no we can't!"

So much for that idea eh?

Quote:

Former President Fidel Castro says Sen. Barack Obama’s plan to maintain Washington’s trade embargo against Cuba will cause hunger and suffering on the island.

In a column published Monday by government-run newspapers, Castro said Obama was "the most-advanced candidate in the presidential race," but noted that he has not dared to call for altering U.S. policy toward Cuba.

"Obama’s speech can be translated as a formula for hunger for the country," Castro wrote, referring to Obama’s remarks last week to the influential Cuban American National Foundation in Miami.

Obama said he would maintain the nearly fifty-year-old trade sanctions against Cuba as leverage to push for democratic change on the island. But he also vowed to ease restrictions on Cuban Americans traveling to Cuba and sending money to relatives.

He repeated his willingness to meet with Raul Castro, who in February succeeded his elder brother Fidel to become the nation’s first new leader in 49 years.

Castro said Obama’s proposals for letting well-off Cuban Americans help poorer relatives on the island amounted to "propaganda for consumerism and a way of life that is unsustainable."

He complained that Obama’s description of Cuba as "undemocratic" and "lacking in respect for liberty and human rights" was the same argument previous U.S. administrations "have used to justify their crimes against our homeland."- Via CNN

So much for all that "Hope Change, Change Hope" and new politics and all that other garbage that the Marxist Magic Negro likes to talk about eh?

Looks like ol’ Barry is going to have his work cut out for him and the ‘fierce urgency of now" is going to run smack dab into the "Realities of Today."

There are some things that you just cannot change, and a Country that is hardcore steeped into the Communism, is one of them. Of course, seeing he’s a Marxist as all, he might just be able to talk shop with Cubans.

Birds of a feather, flock together, I always say.
