Neiwert has had his panties in a twist since last fall when Sarah Palin brought up Obama’s association to Bill Ayers and he’s still angry about it.
He has tried to point out that there are right wing domestic terrorists, which is true. Eric Rudolph and Timothy McVeigh are the examples Neiwert has used most frequently.
Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.
It’s a tough time to be Harry Reid.
Public support for ObamaCare is going down like a lead sinker on a fishing line.
“Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.”
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 56% now oppose the plan.”
Progressives are currently using a line of attack based on patriotism because it is a point on which they have always rightly felt vulnerable. One need look no further than the numerous people with whom President Obama himself associates who have long had a negative view of America.
The laundry list of liberals who are now accusing conservatives of being unpatriotic is laughable.
The George Soros funded progressive propaganda machine known as Media Matters has written numerous pieces denouncing conservatives as unpatriotic haters for being happy that Obama was unable to bring the Olympics to Chicago.
The DNC and some liberal writers used the America hating slur on conservatives saying that if you felt Obama was undeserving of the Nobel peace prize, you were “siding with the terrorists.”
Sensing a pattern yet?
What we have here is a clear misunderstanding of the concept of patriotism on the part of progressives.
You see, conservatives associate patriotism with love of country, regardless of who is president and even though many of us strongly disagree with President Obama’s policies, we still respect his office. It is our very love of America as it is and has always been that makes us resistant to the “change” which many of us feel is being forced upon the country.
Progressives on the other hand, only associate patriotism with love of President Obama. They feel there is something inherently wrong with America which will only be a great country when it is “changed” to reflect their world view as a more progressive, i.e. European style country. This view is rejected by conservatives who love America just the way she is.
Progressives feel any criticism of Obama is a criticism of America. It isn’t. It’s just a criticism of Obama but this explains everything. Progressives feel Obama represents America. He doesn’t. He’s just the current president, that’s all.

Bill Ayers hated America so much he decided to attack his own country with bombs. Jeremiah Wright used his position as a religious leader to hatefully criticize America from the pulpit. Van Jones has made no secret of his radical views and his disdain for the county. Even the first lady was once excoriated by the press for uttering her famous line about being proud of her country for the first time when her husband became the obvious nominee for the Democrats.
For progressives to hurl accusations of anti-Americanism at conservatives is laughable.
If progressives were truly patriotic themselves, they would have been patriotic all along, not just because we finally have a progressive president in the White House. They would not continue insisting that there is something wrong with America, even as they control a majority of American government.
They might have even showed a bit more patriotism under President Bush, but we all know how that worked out.
“Bill Ayers, co-founder of the radical anti-war Weather Underground protest group, is coming to Purdue University on Sept. 24 to participate in an educational forum.”
“Ayers, 64, is a distinguished professor of education and senior university scholar at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He will speak on “Inequality and Education: The Challenge for Urban Schools” at the inaugural Cummings-Perrucci Annual Lecture on Class, Race and Gender Equality.”
We have been unable to confirm whether or not Ayers plans to blow up any buildings as part of his visit to the university.
VIDEO UPDATE: Here is Charles Krauthammer on Van Jones and Bill Ayers.
"Transparency" was another LIE from Obama. He was/is friends with Bill Ayers. He was/is sympathetic to The Weather Underground. We are witnessing an American coup by the radical left.
Quick, where’s my bullshit detector?
Remember last fall when Obama and his supporters swore up and down that Obama had no knowledge of the terrorist roots of Weather Underground founder, Bill Ayers? That’s him in the picture at left standing on an American flag.
“WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s top political adviser said today Obama “didn’t know the history” of unrepentant bomber William Ayers’ activities in the violent Weather Underground movement when the candidate attended a political event at Ayers’ home in 1995.”
“When he went he certainly didn’t know the history,” chief Obama strategist David Axelrod told CNN – arguing for the first time since the story surfaced early this year that Obama was unaware of Ayers’ past.”
“There’s no evidence that they’re close,” Axelrod added.”
Welcome to weird coincidence land! Turns out a buddy of Bill Ayers named Jeff Jones who was also the co-founder of the Weather Underground is now on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a radical lefty group that helped to draft the $787 BILLION dollar Stimulus Bill.
“Could it be that the 1,200-page American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill, written prior to Obama’s inauguration, is actually cribbed from the Apollo Economic Recovery Act? If so, does that also hold true for the administration’s cap and trade energy bill, which has already passed in the House?”
“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is declining to release documents that would identify visitors to the White House, embracing a legal position taken by the Bush administration, according to a watchdog group that filed a federal lawsuit over access to the records.”
“The group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed its lawsuit after being denied access to Secret Service records, including White House entry and exit logs, that would identify coal and energy industry visitors.”
“The government’s refusal to release the records contrasts with President Obama’s pledge of transparency.”
“Transparency” was another LIE from Obama. He was/is friends with Bill Ayers. He was/is sympathetic to The Weather Underground. We are witnessing an American coup by the radical left.
These are the very people who are attacking Glenn Beck for exposing them. What a dark day for America when the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist organization, has the ear of the American President and is authoring legislation to be paid for by the American people. It’s sickening.
Political violence is and always has been the hallmark of the left, Josh. Own it.
Josh Marshall, the leftist who founded Talking Points Memo, is writing lies about Conservatives. He’s pushing the idea that Conservatives are all fringe nuts who are violent.
“As we track the escalating number of incidents of right-wing fringers bringing guns to Obama events or other health create town hall events, we are, unsurprisingly, seeing various conservative websites mocking the public concern. “Oh, those Dems, they go all wobbly just because a few upstanding citizens show up with legal firearms.” Call it the new girly-manism, it’s a sign that Democrats are so many political panty-waists because they’ve never seen the gun culture up close or just get easily rattled.”
“But let’s be honest about what this is about. The right — the modern American right — has a very troubled history with political violence. The ideological pattern is clear going back at least thirty years and arguably far longer. A simple review of the 1990s, particularly 1993, 1994, culminating in many respects in the tragic 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal building in April 1995 tells the tale. Mix in the militias, the thankfully inept attempt on President Clinton’s life a few months before Oklahoma City Francisco Duran and it’s all really not a pretty picture.”
Has Josh been alseep for the last 50 years? I’ll give him Tim McVeigh. McVeigh was a right wing nutbag and what he did was unforgiveable.
HOWEVER, when it comes to violent fringe nutbags, the left has always cornered the market.
Look no further than President Obama’s pal Bill Ayers and his terrorist group The Weather Underground. Here’s a man who committed numerous acts of appalling violence against the United States. Lucky for Billy, he came from a family of influence which made it possible for him to avoid any jail time. He now holds a cushy job as an “Education Professor” at a state run university in Illinois.
I would also remind Josh that Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin who killed Kennedy was a self avowed lefty whack job as was Sirhan Sirhan, the man who killed Robert Kennedy.
“The day before President Barack Obama was to meet with Israel’s prime minister, community activists, clergy and residents marched through Oak Park on Sunday to call for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
“And they were led in their efforts by a politically provocative pair from Chicago: Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and William Ayers.”
“When he was running for the presidency, Obama was dogged by the two figures: Wright, Obama’s former pastor, with his fiery words from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ, and Ayers, for his radical past as a leader in the 1960s and 1970s of the violent Weather Underground group.”
You know what’s even funnier than that? The first reader comment after the article from “Mario” in Illinois:
“Why do you keep associating wright and ayers with obama? obama already said he barely knew these people…and had already thrown wright under the bus and disowned ayers. let’s not give these 2 twerps anymore importance.”
Yeah Mario, you’re right. It’s “the media” that keeps associating Obama with Ayers and Wright. Obama bears absolutely no responsibility for his relationship to these two scumbags.
The editors of Wikipedia are carefully protecting President Obama’s entry on the site and actively deleting any information they deem negative. Writers from the conservative publication World Net Daily added information about William Ayers and Reverend Wright to the official Obama article on Wikipedia this weekend, fully supported by legitimate news sources only to find their additions deleted minutes later and their user accounts suspended for three days. WND reported yesterday:
“The entire Wikipedia entry on Obama seems to be heavily promotional toward the U.S. president. It contains nearly no criticism or controversy, including appropriate mention of important issues where relevant.
For example, the current paragraph on Obama’s religion contains no mention of Wright, even though Obama’s association with the controversial pastor was one of the most talked about issues during the presidential campaign.
That paragraph states: “Obama explained how, through working with black churches as a community organizer while in his twenties, he came to understand ‘the power of the African-American religious tradition to spur social change.’ He was baptized at the Trinity United Church of Christ in 1988 and was an active member there for two decades.”
Ayers is also not mentioned, even where relevant.
WND monitored as a Wikipedia user attempted to add Ayers’ name to an appropriate paragraph. One of those additions, backed up with news articles, read as follows:
“He served alongside former Weathermen leader William Ayers from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund the Developing Communities Project, and also from 1994 to 2002 on the board of directors of the Joyce Foundation. Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995 to 2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995 to 1991. Ayers was the founder and director of the Challenge.”
Within two minutes that Wikipedia entry was deleted and the user banned from posting on the website for three days, purportedly for adding “Point of View junk edits,” even though the addition was well-established fact.”
The article goes on to mention that as you may suspect, the Wikipedia entry for George W. Bush is highly critical and chock full of negative information.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, as long as they’re a liberal.
“Just 38% of voters now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s the lowest level of support measured for the plan in nearly two dozen tracking polls conducted since June.”
The domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, co-founder of the Weather Underground, will speak at 
Quick, where’s my bullshit detector?
Look no further than President Obama’s pal
