FNS Panel on Farouk Mutallab: Is Prez Most Concerned with Politics? (VIDEO)

Today on Fox News Sunday, panelists were Bill Kristol, Juan Williams, Laura Ingraham and Jennifer Loven of the AP. The question came about regarding the Christmas-day attempt at blowing up the Northwest Airlines flight as it descended to the Detroit, Michigan airport.

As the discussion proceeded, Jennifer Loven said she had spoken with the White House and that they were really concerned about the politics of it all, and getting ahead of the PR curve. Ingraham rightly mentions shortly thereafter that that is the problem; the current administration is more concerned about brand “Obama” than they are the safety and security of this country. Loven later says she doesn’t think that’s the main concern, but it’s certainly one of the primary concerns.

Then Juan dips his naieve toe in the water, stating that “we all know” this was a lone-wolf attack and not tied to Al Qaeda, to which Ingraham and Kristol both repeatedly and rightly state “we don’t know that!” and we don’t – we DON’T know that.

There’ll be more about this act of terror in the days to come. Too bad our government idiots appear to have allowed Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab the ability to “lawyer up” by reading his Miranda warning. But isn’t he a Nigerian citizen? If so, why is afforded Miranda warnings?

Never mind…and forget I said “terrorist attack;” it was obviously an attempt at an act of “man-caused disaster” in the “overseas contingency operation.”

What a bunch of wimps we are these days.

GEICO Pulls Ads for Glenn Beck Show – So What?

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.”

Two weeks ago, ColorOfChange.org called on its 600,000-plus members to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck to cut off their advertising support of his work. More than 75,000 members responded to the call by signing a petition directed at advertisers.

Last week, ColorOfChange.org received confirmation from LexisNexis that they pulled their ads from Beck and have no plans to advertise on the program in the future. Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance and SC Johnson called the Beck advertising placements an error that they would correct.

The ColorOfChange.org email urged members to go visit http://www.colorofchange.org/beck/, where they could send letters to executives of target companies. With more than 600,000 members, ColorOfChange.org is the largest African-American online political organization in the country.

Boo-frickin’-hoo. Too bad, too. I’ve always loved that little lizard gecko. But do they really think their pitiful little protest is going to have an effect on Beck’s show? Please…it’s like throwing pebbles at Goliath’s feet. Go ahead, GEICO…and we American patriots will also shun your stupid car insurance agency. Makes no difference to me. And while I’m thinking about it, don’t think I’ll change to Progressive Insurance either. You think “Progressive Insurance’s” name is a mistake? Nope…check out their history of political donations. I’ll never use either of these insurance carriers EVER (haven’t in the past, and will refuse to do so in the future).

Please join me folks, won’t you?

Summoning My Courage

Well, I went and did it today. I’ve finally summoned the courage, yet I’m ashamed I have to consider this an act of “courage.” It really is a sad commentary of where our country is right now, and it is fundamentally so contrary to our founding documents. I’m not the only one who’s been hesitant to do this, either. Everyone I work with, as well as friends and family, have all felt this way or still do. I finally put my my fear aside and did it. I’m the first in my group of family and friends. I’m hoping that what I did will encourage others to do so, as well. The fact that so many of us feel this way is just so wrong; so fundamentally wrong. So what is it that I did that was so “courageous?”

I put an anti-Obama bumper sticker on my car.

For so long and for very sad reasons, I’ve been reluctant to do so for fear of either getting my car keyed or damaged, or worse yet, being called a “racist.”

Today I have decided I can no longer carry that fear. I love my country too damn much. I can get a new car, but I cannot get my country back if I don’t take a stand. Yes, I know displaying a bumper sticker is hardly “taking a stand,” but if you look at it in context, that a lot of Americans are afraid to do so for reasons I cited, then I AM taking a stand. I’m saying that I value my right to free speech, I value the Constitution, I value my right to dissent, and I value what the Founding Fathers fought so hard for – not to mention our brave and valiant military men and women who are currently fighting for that very right. So why shouldn’t I display my bumper sticker? If it’s how I feel then that is my right.

It is so very sad that this sentiment is even possible in this great country. I cannot recall a point in my lifetime where this kind of fear was so prevalent. It is shameful. And it is un-American in and of itself to have this fear. It’s also irrational, although I won’t be surprised if my car does get keyed or scratched.

But if that happens, then it says more about the vandal than it does about me. My bumper sticker not only relates how much I love my country, but also how much I fear for her.

What does my bumper sticker say? “DEFEND AMERICA/FIGHT OBAMA.”

If you see me and believe like I do, honk and wave. And know that you are not alone. I am no longer afraid. Don’t you be, either.

Michelle Malkin Takes On The View Hags (VIDEO)

I’m going to let this video speak for itself. Michelle is on to promote her book, “Culture of Corruption.” I’d like to see Tanya Reiman read this panel’s body language. Joy is absolutely apoplectic, and Sherri struggles to speak intelligently.

GO MICHELLE, GO!

Matthews: Gates Offers to Get Sgt. Crowley’s Kids Into Harvard – If Crowley Doesn’t Arrest Him Again (VIDEO)

On last night’s Hardball, Chris’ sideshow segment (or whatever the hell it is) played a video of Harvard professor and race warlord, Henry Louis Gates at some outdoor gathering, and Gates joked that he told Cambridge Police Sgt. Crowley that he could “get his kids into Harvard” if Crowley promised not to arrest him again.

As if Sgt. Crowley’s kids couldn’t stand on their own academic merit? I read Sgt. Crowley’s police report, and he is one highly educated man, as I suspect his children are as well.

Tell you what, Prof. Gates. You stop acting like a race pimp every time a white cop shows up, and maybe… JUST MAYBE.. you might be shown the respect you think you deserve. And for Crowley? Do not accept any future invitations from this obvious student of Rev. Wright’s “Black Liberation Theology” events, and you’ll be good to go. Nothing good can come of it.

You were used as an obvious pawn of the eternal “black victimization” mantra that unfortunately permeates our media. Please don’t fall for it again. Prof. Gates has NO respect for you or other cops, regardless of color, because to his ilk you are just “da man” whose sole purpose is to keep “his people” enslaved.

In the words of Juan Williams tome, “ENOUGH!”

Obama Trips the Light Fantastic – And I Laughed My Ass Off (VIDEO)

Okay, this isn’t that big a deal, but I GUARANTEE you if this were Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, George Bush, or any other Republican, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, DailyKos etc., would be running this in LOOPS 24/7. So, you know what? Turnabout is fair play. Obama recently tripped entering some building overseas, but I only saw it this once on TV. Do y’all remember how many times we saw the video of Bush trying to exit the false door on the stage in China?

Well, not only did we see that clip over and over on the news media outlets, but it played over and over on the late night talk shows, The View, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, and countless of hundreds of other shows. So guess what? I’m creating this FUNNY-AS-HELL video loop of Obama tripping over the door frame or a rug, whatever it was, and I’m going to post it on my blog at least twice a month.

It’s only fair, right? If you don’t like it, understand that right off the bat I don’t give a damn if you like it or not. And yes, you may say it is petty, but again, I don’t care – the left has done this for years to GW, Gerald Ford and other Republicans, so all I have to say to you in this instance is SUCK IT! I’M LAUGHING WHETHER YOU ARE OR NOT!

Your Pop Idol, Barack Obama, tripped and was not his usual suave self, so this is my time to showcase it. And trust me, I reserve the right to use this anytime in the future when any conservative is ridiculed for being clumsy. Just remember you have no constitutional right to NOT be offended.

This is karma for all of you who have laughed at every Republican in the past for not being the ultimate picture of grace. Suck it up and take it like a grown up.
