Today during the White House press briefing, Fox News’ Major Garrett asked Robert Gibbs a direct question about people receiving emails from the White House (specifically from David Axelrod) about Healthcare talking points. Major asked him why this was happening, when people reported it said they never signed up to get any communications from the White House, and clearly Gibbsy didn’t have a good answer.
By the way, I must add, I got one of the emails myself, and I was like “WTF?” when I got it. How is the White House getting everyone’s email addresses? Gibbs doesn’t have an answer and tries to tap dance around it, but when Major pressed him, Gibbs got snippy, saying he was hesitant to reply because Major might try to “impugn” Gibby’s answer.
What’s a crap sandwich you ask? It’s when someone talks to you condescendingly in the beginning, giving you pseudo-compliments, craps down your throat in the middle, and ends with more fake compliments. That’s what Lawrence O’Donnell served up to Townhall protester, Katy Abram.
Katy Abrams, as you might know, was at the townhall with Arlen Specter in Lebanon, PA yesterday, and took him to task about getting back to the Constitution. She decided to come on Hardball tonight, for whatever reasons, and answers some questions from O’Donnell.
Obviously O’Donnell has never seen the actual video of Obama saying he’s for single-payer healthcare. Katy had NO problem remembering the video, yet O’Donnell continued to deny the prez ever said he was for “single-payer” healthcare. He did try to qualify it (not in this edit) that if the prez said it a few years ago and not AS prez, it didn’t matter, but would the same standards be held by any MSNBC shill if it applied to Bush? Remember, they repeatedly still bash him, all the way back to his college days.
The segment wound up really ugly, with O’Donnell admitting that Medicare was “socialism,” and had Katy eventually admit that, according to the Founding Fathers, yes, socialized medicine was not intended to be enacted. O’Donnell is going to try to spin this as Katy saying she wants her parents to die and go off Medicare, but what Katy was really trying to say (nervously) is that Medicare was meant, in its original form, to be temporary.
But that will all get lost with the MSNBC talking heads, as well as the other MSM outlets. Screw ‘em all.
Tonight Sean Hannity had as guests, Katy & Sam Abram, who were both at the Lebanon, PA Townhall meeting today with Arlen Specter. Katy found her voice, stood her ground, and for the first time in her life, found herself engaged politically. Katy gave Specter the ‘what-fors’ and I am a fellow patriot who agrees WITH her.
The dems have awakened a sleeping giant, and it’s apparent they are too stupid to realize it. A day of reckoning is near, and believe me, they will then know the political sings of their past. No more weak Americans – we are awake, alive, aware, informed and INVOLVED, and we are coming for ALL of you, Democrat and Republican alike. YOU SPEAK FOR US, or you will not speak for ANYONE!
Got it?
And quit harrassing these folks! Stop with the personal “racist” attacks, unsolicited calls to personal cell phones, etc. You stupid leftists goons are just making our case for us. Losers!
Today, Glenn took a hard look at what can happen in cases where crises occur, and rationing is necessary merely by “allocation” of services. Beck made no bones about it that he’s not saying some of these things will happen, but that we must ask ourselves the tough questions like “could this happen?” “is it possible?”
If you never have these conversations with your family and loved ones, you will never be prepared for the “possible.”
People will snark about this, call him a “fear-monger” among other things, and mock him for his true emotion, but I myself ask you this one simple question: Did you ever at any point in your lifetime think that there would come a day that people had to protest en masse to stop socialized medicine in this country? You didn’t? Well it’s time to start asking the bold questions of our elected officials.
We can no longer remain apathetic – we have to care….we MUST care, or there will be no one to blame but ourselves.
Today on Beck’s show, he talked about the outrage and protests surrounding the Townhall events being held around the country. In response to the alleged “angry mobs,” Obama and his Chicago-style thuggery attempted to intervene, including the “purple shirts” from SEIU. It wasn’t until the SEIU showed up that these Townhalls turned violent.
He also highlighted a video from this past weekend, right here in Georgia, of Congressman David Scott who was so incensed by being asked a healthcare question at a forum in Douglasville, set up to discuss a road project, that he lost his cool and lambasted a PHYSICIAN from HIS 13th Congressional district, claiming the doctor hijacked the forum! WTF?
Oh, yeah, and there’s supposedly something wrong and “Un-American” (according to Pelosi & Hoyer, in a USA Today op-ed) about voicing dissent at these gatherings. And don’t forget, one of the primary charges about the protest is that they are “manufactured” and “organized.” Wait a minute. Since when did a party completely beholden to community organizers deem it IMPROPER to BE organized at the community level? Oh, yeah…never mind.
There have been assaults by the SEIU thugs, Craigslist ads ASKING for folks to sign up for “jobs that matter,” paying between $11 to $16 per hour with benefits, for folks who want to sign up and help in grassroots efforts to ADVANCE the Obamacare plan. Again, WTF? It’s bad for genuine REAL folks to gather and dissent, with no direction from ANY organization, but it’s totally okay for people to answer Craigslist ads and perform the dictates ascribed them FOR PAY?
That’s what’s happening, folks. Americans are seeing through the bullshi* – and we don’t believe a word of it.
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.
