Sarah Palin "CLEARLY UNQUALIFIED" - So says MSNBC

Almost unbelievable.  David Shuster of MSNBC gets into it (h/t: Newbusters.org) with an independent filmmaker and web site creator on "How Obama Got Elected", John Ziegler, and states, as if fact, his personal opinions that Sarah Palin was "clearly unqualified" to run as VP Candidate.
 
Then, if we are too stupid to believe his sage words, he inaccurately quotes a poll that he says shows that "65% believe that Sarah Palin" was unqualified.
 
1.  I believe the actual poll number was 59%. (Although I don't have a source handy)
 
2.  Telling people an opinion as if it were fact, polling them upon it afterwards and reporting the polling as verification of the original opinion does not make the opinion into a fact.  It just makes MSNBC a very good propaganda organ. 
 
David Shuster and MSNBC are "a joke".

Can we ban NBC? Seriously.

After reportedly banning Ann Coulter for life, for being "...so highly critical of President-elect Obama" reports Drudge.  Are they serious?!
 
It is more than just a little disturbing that journalists are not taught what a free press is all about and how central the press has been in our nation's history to the freedoms we all enjoy.  What is it that they teach these pompous ignoramouses at journalism school?
 
 
 
(NBC's new Today Show Producer for the Obama Presidency)
 
Please do not watch the Today Show or any NBC programming anymore.  American's deserve better than partisan hypocrisy disguised as "news".

Obama Cover Ups Starting Already

As I was reading the news this morning, I couldn't understand why in the world the FBI would move in so quickly on the Illinois governor trying to sell Obama's vacated Senate seat.  Apparently Obama had already offered a cushy job for the Governor's wife.  The offer wasn't high enough to satisfy.
 
Did the FBI move in before Obama was able to make a winning bid?
 
Remember Fitzgerald, the guy who threw the hammer here was the same one that let the net on the Plame non-case drag for 2 years until Scooter Libby was tripped up.  Why the quick trigger this time, Pat?

al Qaeda and the Democrats

 

"DUBAI (Reuters) - An al Qaeda leader has called for President George W. Bush and the Republicans to be "humiliated," without endorsing any party in the upcoming U.S. presidential election, according to a video posted on the Internet.

"O God, humiliate Bush and his party, O Lord of the Worlds, degrade and defy him," Abu Yahya al-Libi said at the end of sermon marking the Muslim feast of Eid al-Fitr, in a video posted on the Internet....."
 
A couple thoughts immediately come to mind:
 
1.  Notice how the Islamo-facist doesn't call out all of America as the object of his ire (as he would prior to the Bush Administration).  For some reason he singles out Bush and Republicans.  Doesn't that imply that some Americans are then not his enemy?  For rhetorical purposes we'll give these people a name, say "Democrats".  Since we've been told by Democrats and their friends at MSNBC that Bush and the Republicans quit fighting al Qaeda, let Osama Bin Laden get away and decided to fight an unrelated "civil war" in Iraq, I wonder why the al Qaeda thug would apparently favor these "Democrats" over Republicans.  Curious indeed.
 
2.  I wonder if the al Qaeda network, which managed to bring down the World Trade Center Towers, were able to find a way to circumnavigate the blocks on foreign cash being injected into the 2008 Presidential Election. I also wonder to which campaign our al Qaeda friend would prefer to contribute.  Given his statements, I doubt it was McCain-Palin.  But then, Barack Hussein Obama has done so much to discourage illegal contributions, I am certain that the same money that funded this video certainly could not have found it way to help fund Barack Hussein Obama's 30-minute video address last night.

Where's MY Community Organizer?

A question occured to me as I was driving into work today that perhaps was so obvious it defied asking: 
 
I am 36 years old and have been a voting-aged adult for more than half of my life and no one from ACORN or any other group has ever asked me to register to vote.  I wonder why some teenaged kids and homeless people get paid to register 20 or more times.  They somehow were even able to trackdown Mickey Mouse and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys to register but missed me.
No "community organizer" has ever sought me out to offer me help in any way or even sought my opinion on anything I might care about in my neighborhood or asked for my help to better the community.
 
No pollster has ever asked me which candidate I prefer or my stance on the issues.  Nor have I been asked to be part of a "focus group".
 
No one has offered to take me to the polls to vote in a tax-subsidized van.
 
No one has offered me a grant, a handout, a giveaway, a perk, or a gosh darned thing my whole life (not that I think anyone should).
 
I've never run into my Senator at Home Depot and been asked about the issues I care about.
 
I have a job, 4 kids a wife and two dogs and make less than six figures.
 
If politicians like Joe Biden and Barack Obama or any of the rest of them care so much about the middle class, I wonder why all these years, no one has seemed to give a rat's behind what I think and how I'm doing.  Makes me wonder who they think they're fooling.

[Alleged] Palin Hacker Pleads Not Guilty?

(H/T: Drudge and the AP) Not guilty?  The son of the Democrat politician who [allegedly] hacked Sarah Palin's email, posted her private messages, tried to cover his tracks and ultimately turned himself in has plead "not guilty"?  I was inclined to cut him a little slack since he's 20 years old and likely just stupid rather than purely evil but not now.  If he's found guilty, I say they should throw the book at him.
 
(Alleged Democrat Hacker, David Kernell)
 
Let's be clear, this scummy little son of a politician surely was fully aware that he was doing something illegal when he tried to ruin a good woman's life.  That is evil.  What did Sarah Palin do to deserve such treatment?  She had the audacity to have an opinion that differed from this scummy little Democrat. 
 
If there is a theme that you can take from this website it is this:  Democrats don't mind ruining people's lives and harming others that get in their way.  Whether this stems from fervent conviction or self-righteous arrogance doesn't matter.  "Respect" is simply not in the Democrat lexicon.

Scummy Democrat, Claire McCaskill

From the Politico Blog:

I mentioned a few days ago that Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill's mild affect masks a bit of a killer, and that she's perhaps the Obama campaign's deftest surrogate on the attack.

But I was still kind of amused by her brief interaction with Mitt Romney in the press file just now.

McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.

"I spit on this before I put it in," she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.

UPDATE: Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom emails: "You should have seen what she did to the chair." - Ben Smith
 
Democrats treat Republicans worse than dogs because most of them have no sense of respect for other people, their property or their opinions.  Democrats often behave like nasty spoiled teenagers.

Never Again! (The Jamie Gorelick Example)

I strongly urge you to watch this video and pledge never again to let the Democrats have the wheel of our financial ship.
 
Let me highlight one of the villainously stupid Democrats that was brought in by Carter and Clinton and has plagued Washington for years, Jamie Gorelick:
 
(Jamie Gorelick, "Mistress of Disaster")
 
(From her Bio on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States)
 
"Jamie Gorelick is a partner at Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr . Prior to joining Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale & Dorr in July 2003, Gorelick was vice chair of Fannie Mae. As part of the four-person Office of the Chairman, she shared responsibility for overall management of the company, directed its efforts to reach underserved markets and oversaw Fannie Mae's external relationships, legal and regulatory affairs. Prior to joining Fannie Mae in May 1997, Gorelick was deputy attorney general of the United States, a position she assumed in March 1994. From May 1993 until she joined the Justice Department, Gorelick served as general counsel of the Department of Defense. From 1979 to 1980 she was assistant to the secretary and counselor to the deputy secretary of energy. In the private sector, from 1975 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1993, Gorelick was a litigator in Washington, D.C., representing major U.S. companies on a broad range of legal and business matters. She served as president of the District of Columbia Bar from 1992 to 1993. Gorelick is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. She also serves on several boards, including the Fannie Mae Foundation, United Technologies Corporation, Schlumberger, Limited, The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Harvard College Board of Overseers, America's Promise, the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, and The National Park Foundation. She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the American Law Institute. Gorelick co-chaired, with Senator Sam Nunn, the Advisory Committee of the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, and currently serves on the Central Intelligence Agency's National Security Advisory Panel as well as the President's Review of Intelligence."
 
These are the types of people that you bring into run our country when you elect a Democrat.
 
-Worked in Carter's failed Department of Energy
 
-Worked in Clinton's ironically-named Justice Department where she created the infamous "wall" that separated law enforcement from intelligence, which was found to ultimately have prevented investigators from stopping the 9/11 attacks.  Miss Gorelick has the blood of thousands on her self-righteous, sanctimonious hands.
 
-Pulled the regulatory strings at failed Fannie Mae.
 
-And took part in the debacle of the US Senate's farcical terrorism panel which was in large part a cover-up of her role in causing the disaster of 9/11 through creating legal roadblocks to the government's role (and responsibilty) in protecting its own people.
 
 
(Update:  Gorelick also happens to be defending the indefensible Duke University which is being sued by its LaCrosse players whom were hung out to dry.  Somehow, I find it not startling.)

Joe Biden, you don't get it.

I would call Joe Biden a "used car salesman" but, frankly, that would be an insult to used car salesmen.
 
Sarah Palin and Joe Biden talk following their vicepresidential debate in Missouri
(Sarah Palin patiently listens to Joe Biden)
 
Putting aside the style points that most of the pundits seem to be basing their judgments about who "won" the Biden-Palin debate upon, Joe Biden proves that he and the Democrats just don't get it.  I heard the same tired themes over and over and over.  Joe's answers basically boil down to this:
 
On any foreign policy issue - Take use-of-force (our strongest card) off the table  immediately and negotiate with thugs and dictators, hoping they will play nice with us.  Sorry Joe, Neville Chamberlain already tried this and failed miserably, perhaps dooming tens of millions in the process.
 
On any domestic issue - Use the federal government as a giant welfare system and raise taxes on working Americans to pay for it.
 
Sorry, Joe, I ain't buying the lemon you're selling.  Unfortunately half of the voters are too stupid, too selfish or too ignorant to realize that the Founding Fathers did not set up the Federal Government to be Daddy's trust fund for the corrupt, inept and lazy -- well perhaps with the exception of Congress.
 
Forget style, Palin trounced Biden on the issues and always will.  I could debate Joe Biden with a 1980's "Speak 'n Spell" and destroy him because he's just plain wrong about everything.
 
(Amanda Carpenter documents Biden's debate distortions.)

Gwen Ifill - Another Journo-leftist posing as "impartial"

The list of leftists and liberals posing as "impartial" journalists is probably too long tackle.  But today's Demmy Award (Democrats Behaving Badly Award) nominee is something of a no-brainer.  Gwen Ifill, PBS "journalist" and author of the upcoming book titled "Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama" which is due to release (she hopes) on the day of Barack Obama's inauguration apparently finds nothing wrong with posing as tonight's "impartial" host of the first Vice Presidential Debate between Joe Biden (D) and Sarah Palin (R). This is simply outrageous, of course.  Imagine the outcry if Rush Limbaugh were tonight's moderator. (John McCormack at the Weekly Standard's Blog has more.)
 
(Gwen Ifill)
 
The problem, of course, with Democrats and leftists is that they're unable or unwilling to recognize that their's might not be the only reasonable argument.  Therefore in Ifill's world, she probably is "fair" and "impartial" and we center-right Republicans are gun-toting (although I don't own a gun), bible-thumping (although I am agnostic), facist (although my convictions believe in less centralized, less authoritarian government) extremists.  Once, one accepts that we are viewed this way by your friendly neighborhood Democrat, one better understands why Democrats feel not only a right, but an obligation to squelch our free speech, trample upon our principles and rights and violate us both intellectually and sometimes even physically.  Democrats behave badly, not because they are bad people, but because like the Nazis and Stalinists and Maoists, their leaders have convinced them that opposing views stem from evil people bent on doing harm to them.  It's a small leap from discarding your decency in the  name of "the ends justifying the means" to becoming that which you profess to hate.

New Name, Same Author

Note to readers:  Since I like to focus many of my blog posts on the varied and sundry misdeeds and miscreants of the Left, I have decided to shift focus and dedicate most of this blog to pointing out the lunacy, hypocrisy and generally poor behavior of the Left.
 
Welcome to the newly improved, re-branded "Democrats Behaving Badly".

Brace Yourselves for Democrats Behaving Badly

If you're tuned into politics like many of us bloggers and news junkies, you can't have missed reports from every election cycle of "ground war" Democrats behaving like thugs and animals.  Here's another report.  I'll spare you the details but I will make a not-so-bold prediction that we will see (with no help from the major media outlets) the following before the November Elections:
 
-Voting "irregularities" including pets and dead folks voting for Barack Obama in droves.  John Fund can fill you in.
 
-Violence visited upon Republicans.  The Republican Convention offered us a preview of this.
 
-Obama hacks masquerading as "news people".  (See Gwen Ifill's upcoming glowing book on Obama.)
 
-Vandalism
 
-Efforts to supress military votes
 
The problem with Democrats is that they truly believe that if you dare disagree with them, you somehow deserve bad things done to you.  This stems from a dangerous combitionation of arrogance, selfishness and ignorance that is a common thread through modern liberalism.

$700B Doesn't Add Up

$700 Billion is the figure commonly thrown out there as the "bail out" number required to restart our credit markets.
 
The problem with this number is that its several times the value of ALL of the foreclosed mortgages that Wall Street claims is the anchor on the Credit Industry's neck.  If there are 1 million foreclosed homes currently unsold (as I'm told by those in the business), bought at an average $250,000 that can only be unloaded for an average of $100,000, not including what PMI covers, the banks should only be out about $150 Billion (I, know, "only"?).
 
Where does the $700 Billion come from and who's getting the extra $550 Billion?

Gov't Could shore up the housing market with $125 Billion

(Updated)
 
If the federal government (or the state governments independently) bought an average of 10,000 foreclosed homes for $250K in each state's worst housing market and demolished them, guess what would happen to the plummeting value of every other home in the country?  (Note:  That would take care of 500,000 of the upper limit estimated 1,000,000 foreclosed homes).
 
That's right, we would have equity again, homes could be refinanced, people could borrow, banks would stop failing and the housing industry could start moving again.  Instant wealth!  The reason your home is worth next to nothing right now is not because your home is worth next to nothing.  It's because the banks and the fed conspired to give a loan to a moron down the street that couldn't pay his bills or was too dim to realize that his variable interest rate might vary UPWARD!
 
Instead of giving more money to the failures on Wall Street and the deadbeats on Main Street, why won't they help out the rest of us who have lost tens of thousands of wealth because other people were stupid?

And They're Off! (Post-bailout Market-watch)

Sunday - I am predicting Monday will be a race-day in the Markets as an agreement has been reached in Congress on the Great 2008 Banking Bailout.  Credit goes to the Administration and Nancy Pelosi in brokering the distasteful, yet needed deal. (H/T: Hugh Hewitt)
 
Monday am:  Stocks start the day down.  Shows what I know.  I guess the traders are still jittery over the deal being concluded.
