Not only did TX Democrat Congresswoman ignore folks at her townhall last week, she also ignored Greta Van Susteren, whose show she appeared on and played the obfuscation game quite well. What is it about these media hounds like Lee who clearly don’t give a rat’s ass about their constitutents?
I have a question for Texans in her district: What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you keep electing this loser, leftist elitist back to her post? She doesn’t care about you – she’s obviously out for herself and her own aggrandizement. So again… what is wrong with you people down there in Texas? Wake up and elect someone who WILL do something for you. Hell, at least elect someone who won’t EMBARRASS you! Geez! I’m ticked off and I don’t even LIVE in Texas!
On a side note – can you imagine the media outcry if it had been a Republican congressperson who took a phone call during a townhall? Yeah, that’s what I thought. It’d be story #1 on MSNBC for the next year. Hyocrisy anyone?
Zack Lane, student of University of Colorado, Boulder, stood up to ask the president a question at a recent townhall in Colorado. I’ll let you be the judge. Lane says he doesn’t want philosophical arguments or generalities; he just wants a straight answer to his question:
How in the world can a private corporation, providing insurance, competing with a government entity who has no profit to worry about, no worry about property taxes, local regulations, etc. compete with that?
Obama’s answer? I’ll leave that up to you. Can you please tell me what it was? All I heard were philosophical arguments and generalities like Zack asked for. What was Obama’s direct answer to his question?
Today, Texas Republican Congressman went on MSNBC’s Hardball, and talked with fill-in Lawrence O’Donnell about recent townhall protester, Katy Abram, to whom O’Donnell served a crap sandwich yesterday. Culberson said that Katy was his new hero, and O’Donnell proceeded to ask him the same lame questions about the wonderfully efficient programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Well, I could go on, but you’ve all seen O’Donnell in action. The only thing I can really add at this point is O’Donnell obviously likes to hear himself talk, but also that Culberson sweeeeetly pointed out to O’Donnell that he was demonstrating the very reasons why MSNBC’s ratings are in the tank – THREE TIMES he got this jab in. LOL…
I love me some John Culberson – and O’Donnell needs to leave Katy out of it – she doesn’t need the hassle. And Lawrence? If you can’t let someone answer a question, the STFU!
As reported by brilliant friend and Newsbuster editor/writer, Noel Sheppard, GEICO is apparently so troubled by that rabble-rousing Glenn Beck on Fox News, that they’ve ordered all advertising pulled from that show. This comes from a PR firm called “Color Of Change:”
GEICO Car Insurance to Pull Advertisements Away from Glenn Beck Program
Insurance Company Joins Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson in Distancing Themselves from FNC Anchor
OAKLAND, Calif.–Adding to a growing list of advertisers distancing themselves from controversial Fox News personality Glenn Beck, GEICO has pledged to re-direct their advertisements away from Beck’s program on the Fox News Channel. The decision by GEICO comes on the heels of announcements made last week that LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson were distancing themselves from Beck after the news host called President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people.”
“On Tuesday, August 4, GEICO instructed its ad buying service to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots on FOX-TV to their other network programs, exclusive of the Glenn Beck program,” said a spokesperson for GEICO Corporate Communications in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck’s program.”
“We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck,” said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. “Beck’s rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won’t stop here — we’re going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck’s advertisers pull their support as possible.”
Remember the outraged citizen in Lebanon, Pennsylvania who took Arlen Specter to task? The one Lawrence O’Donnell served a crap sandwich to? Yeah, that one: Katy Abram. Well, it appears now that she’s not the only one to be visited upon by liberal thugs. Earlier outspoken townhall participants have been threatened directly in the middle of the night, but after a few appearances on TV talking about her townhall experience, Katy is getting phone calls in the middle of the night, trying to intimidate her, calling her a racist, and all of the other “courageous” things liberal thugs have employed.
Katy…listen to Judge Napolitano. If you and your husband don’t have guns, carry at least cellphone video cameras everywhere you go. You must protect your lives at all cost. And please, please, Katy… whatever you do… do NOT EVER again agree to appear on MSNBC! O’Donnell completely disparaged you, but acted like an ass in doing so, trying to soothe you with false comfort.
If anyone from MSNBC/NBC calls you again for an interview, tell them to shove their invites up their asses. Tell them you prefer interviews with networks that actually have a viewership that is at least equal to the latest “The CW” sketch comedy show.
And never fear – you have PLENTY of patriots willing to stand with you and your family. You have nothing to fear; your fellow Constitutional American patriots will protect you. We got your back.
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
