American Glob

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs really is the gift that keeps on giving. Yesterday in an interview with The Hill, Gibbs lobbed some angry comments at Obama’s base “professional leftists” and launched an angry liberal shitstorm in the blogosphere…

The White House is simmering with anger at criticism from liberals who say President Obama is more concerned with deal-making than ideological purity.

During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

The press secretary dismissed the “professional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”

Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

REALLY? You mean all those laughably unrealistic promises Obama made on the campaign trail weren’t based in reality?

The remarks by Gibbs made lefty bloggers at Americablog (not to be confused with American Glob) so angry that they revealed a little too much about the payback they expected for all the “dirty work” they did for Obama during the campaign. Via Gateway Pundit…

Joe and I are upset with Obama, and we, for example, raised nearly $43,000 for the man, According to the White House, our money now doesn’t count. Great, would they like to give it back? I for one, would love the $1000 back that I personally donated to the Obama campaign. Joe gave even more. I suspect a lot of our readers wouldn’t mind their contributions back too, since apparently they’re not appreciated.

Then there’s all that work we did for the campaign, all the dirty work they asked us to do – and we did it, gladly, and quietly – none of that counted either, apparently.

Panic on the left, anyone?

More popcorn, please…

Jennifer Rubin of Commentary Magazine knows why…

Recall that when Obama was in suck-up mode with American Jews (who gave him a pass for twenty years of listening to the anti-Semitic ravings of Rev. Wright) during the campaign, he went to the Wall in which he touchingly placed a note. No, he didn’t at the time mention that he wanted to carve up Jerusalem. But now that it’s out in the open, wouldn’t it seem extraordinarily hypocritical (even for him) to go there? Yes, we’ve come to the point where a trip to the Wall by an American president becomes an act of gross hypocrisy. Tragic, really.

So toxic is the Obama Administration in Israel, that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who is Jewish, has received threats over his son’s Bar Mitzvah.

William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection notes the tragic reality:

I feel for Emanuel’s son, and it is unfortunate that the father’s political actions are impinging on an important family event. Any threats made should be condemned.

But, there is an ancient Hebrew saying which addresses this very situation: “You can’t have it both ways.”

You may have seen the now famous footage of David Horowitz dealing with a pro-Hamas college student who, when pressed, advocates a second Holocaust.

Today, the NewsReal blog released a new video of another anti-semitic college student trying to convince Horowitz that her twisted anti-Israel thinking somehow makes sense.

There is an ugly anti-semitic side to liberal politics in America.

It is something I will never understand and I suspect it is at least a part of the reason we won’t see President Obama in Israel any time soon.

Classic Ann Coulter. Each video is 10 minutes long and definitely worth your time.

Part I

Part II

Amazing. This was 1966.

Everything that’s old is new again. Money quote from Barry Goldwater in Part I (on politics):

“This is one of the troubles that the liberals get into. They become so doctrinaire, so conformist that if you don’t fit their little mold right down to your little pinkies, you’re no liberal and I don’t want to see the conservatives ever get in that fix.”

Money quote from Goldwater in Part II (on Medicare):

“We [conservatives] should be constantly encouraging the congress to go slow, take it easy, study, research.”

The left will no doubt find this to be the most sexist thing they’ve ever seen, despite the fact that it’s coming from a woman and despite their relentless sexist attacks on Sarah Palin.

Note to Progressive Readers: Before you leave an indignant comment, see this.

Gee, I wonder if the media distrust comes from the thorough non-vetting/cheerleading of candidate Obama coupled with the media driven Inquisition of Sarah Palin?

Or could it be tied to the non-coverage of a radical 9/11 truther in the White House?

Or could it be the non-coverage of a triple pronged underage prostitution scandal at ACORN?

Maybe it’s the media driven demonizing of Tea Parties or the ongoing accusations of racism for ANYONE who disagrees with Obama?

Or is it that the media is deliberately downplaying the size of the 9/12 march in Washington, DC?

Whatever the reason, PEW has revealed something many Americans already knew. We no longer trust the media:

“The public’s assessment of the accuracy of news stories is now at its lowest level in more than two decades of Pew Research surveys, and Americans’ views of media bias and independence now match previous lows.”

“Just 29% of Americans say that news organizations generally get the facts straight, while 63% say that news stories are often inaccurate. In the initial survey in this series about the news media’s performance in 1985, 55% said news stories were accurate while 34% said they were inaccurate. That percentage had fallen sharply by the late 1990s and has remained low over the last decade.”

Below is the latest video from Naked Emperor News. Obama’s Progressive base is none too pleased about the back door shenanigans with big PHARMA.

The harshness of the following audio from the left is amazing, especially given the source.

That is to say, his base. I normally wouldn’t post videos by “The Amazing Atheist” but this guy has a HUGE and very lefty following on YouTube. When guys like this start saying Obama is weak and a sissy and also start admitting that George W. Bush was tough and more politically savvy than Obama, Conservatives should be paying attention.

Watch this.

CNS News reports on a new Gallup poll which shows that Conservatives outnumber Liberals in all 50 States:

“Self-identified conservatives outnumber self-identified liberals in all 50 states of the union, according to the Gallup Poll.”

“At the same time, more Americans nationwide are saying this year that they are conservative than have made that claim in any of the last four years.”

“In 2009, 40% percent of respondents in Gallup surveys that have interviewed more than 160,000 Americans have said that they are either “conservative” (31%) or “very conservative” (9%). That is the highest percentage in any year since 2004.”

“Only 21% have told Gallup they are liberal, including 16% who say they are “liberal” and 5% who say they are “very liberal.”

“Thirty-five percent of Americans say they are moderate.”

“During Republican President George W. Bush’s second term, the number of self-identified conservatives as measured by Gallup dropped, riding at a low of 37% as recently as last year.”

“According to new data released by Gallup on Friday, conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states–including President Obama’s home state of Illinois–even though Democrats have a significant advantage over Republicans in party identification in 30 states.”

“While Gallup polling has found this to be true at the national level over many years, and spanning recent Republican as well as Democratic presidential administrations, the present analysis confirms that the pattern also largely holds at the state level,” said Gallup. “Conservatives outnumber liberals by statistically significant margins in 47 of the 50 states, with the two groups statistically tied in Hawaii, Vermont, and Massachusetts.”

“Massachusetts, Vermont and Hawaii are the most liberal states, even though conservatives marginally outrank liberals even there. In Massachusetts, according to Gallup, 30% say they are conservative and 29% say they are liberal, a difference that falls within the margin of error for the state. In Vermont, 29% say they are conservative and 28% say they are liberal, which also falls within the survey’s margin of error for the state.  In Hawaii, 29% say they are conservative and 24% say they are liberal, which falls within the margin of error for that state.”

“In one non-state jurisdiction covered by the survey, liberals did outnumber conservatives. That was Washington, D.C., where 37% said they were liberal, 35% said they were moderate and 23% said they were conservative.”

“Even in New York and New Jersey, conservatives outnumber liberals by 6 percentage points, according to Gallup. In those states, 32% say they are conservative and 26% say they are liberal.  In Connecticut, conservatives outnumber liberals by 7 points, 31% to 24%.”

“Alabama is the state that comes closest to a conservative majority. In that state, according to Gallup, 49% say they are conservative and 15% say they are liberal.”

“In President Obama’s home state of Illinois, conservatives outnumber liberals, 35% to 23%.”

“Gallup’s results were derived from interviewing 160,236 American adults between Jan. 2, 2009 and June 30, 2009.”

“Even though conservatives outnumber liberals in all 50 states, in 21 of these states self-identified moderates outnumber conservatives, and in 4 states the percentage saying they are conservative and the percentage saying they are moderate is exactly the same.”

“The two states with the highest percentage of self-identified moderates are Hawaii and Rhode Island, where 43% say they are moderate.”

This poll shows something most Conservatives already knew: The strength of the Republican Party is NOT a gauge of whether or not Americans identify as Conservatives. There are plently of Independents, Libertarians and yes even Democrats who identify as Conservatives.

2010 can’t come soon enough.

See the Gallup poll HERE.

Politico is reporting that Can’t-Move-On-dot-org is stoking the flame war between Obama and Rush Limbaugh.

After denouncing what they called “the politics of fear” for eight years, they’re now saying to America, “Are you with us or against us?”

Well, at least they’re transparent. This is a see through attempt to demonize conservatives as anti-American.

The KOS Kids have been pushing the GOP-is-anti-American meme all week.

But here’s the thing. This stimulus bill is supposed to be about creating jobs.

1. What jobs are created by buying new cars for the government?

2. Not all Americans want to work for ACORN.

3. Only a few people are qualified to work in Honey Bee Insurance.

Those are just three examples of the Pork Feast the Dems are trying to force Americans to swallow.

The Wall Street Journal calls the stimulus bill a 40 Year Wish List for the Democrats.

This has NOTHING to do with jobs for Americans.

This has ENTIRELY to do with liberal Democrats having their way with Lady Liberty.

Remember: If it smells like bullshit, it probably is bullshit.

Side with America.

Side with Rush.
