American Glob

If you follow American Glob, you may have noticed I’m not covering the coordinated smear campaign against Republican South Carolina gubernatorial candidate, Nikki Haley.

There are two reasons for that.

The first reason is that the subject is already being superbly covered by Red State, Robert Stacy McCain and Ace. I applaud their coverage of this story and their defense of Haley.

The second reason is that I simply don’t buy any of it. This baseless attack on Haley is made of the same crap we’ve seen hurled at Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann on a regular basis. As Nikki Haley notes in the video below, the attacks against her only came when she started polling well.

With that in mind, I saw a great post on Red State tonight by Moe Lane which has a video of a debate where Nikki Haley confronts one of the smear merchants working against her. I had to wade into this subject, if only to show you this video. Nikki Haley is pretty awesome.

I’ve never been to South Carolina, but I bet the voters of The Palmetto State know the truth when they hear it. Hopefully, they’re listening to Nikki Haley.

From GOProud:

“We want to thank Former First Lady Laura Bush for her courageous support for marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples. Laura Bush now joins prominent conservatives such as former Vice President Dick Cheney in support of same-sex marriage.

“It will be impossible for the gay community to achieve equality of opportunity without the support of conservative voices like Laura Bush. I further hope my friends on the left note that now we have members of the Bush, Cheney and McCain families in support of marriage, but no Obamas or Bidens.”

Conservatives who have voiced support for gay marriage:

First Lady Laura Bush

Vice President Dick Cheney

Cindy McCain

Moe Lane of Red State

Roger Simon of Pajamas Media

ALSO: The nation’s most prominent military bloggers, most of them conservative, have now advocated a change to the military’s DADT policy.

Obama was against gay marriage before he was for it. Or against it. Or for it. Or against it.

Frankly, it’s hard to keep track of his position.

Vice President Dick Cheney is for it. Moe Lane of RedState.com is for it. I’m for it.

What’s Obama’s position?

“The answer my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. The answer is blowin’ in the wind…”

Dear ACORN,

Just in case you haven’t noticed, you’re being dismantled and you’re finished. When the House of Representatives votes to defund you and the number of “Ayes” is virtually equal on both sides of the aisle, the writing is on the wall.

And just in case any of our elected representatives who are Democrats in red country don’t understand how serious this is, Moe Lane has written a little reminder which cuts right to the very sharp point.

Are You a Democratic Legislator in a Republican Leaning Seat?

“Because if you are, here is an advisory: as of this moment, if the Right catches you or your staff within 100 yards of an ACORN office or worker we will cheerfully crucify you with that organization.  And by ‘crucify’ I mean ‘take the metaphorical and rhetorical equivalent of long iron nails and permanently attach you to ACORN with them.”

Senator Jim DeMint attempts to offer an amendment calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve. He is shut down by the Democrats based on Rule 16, a rule the Democrats have ignored/broken whenever it suited their needs.

This is typical Democrat thinking. Rule 16 applies to thee but not to me…

For more extensive coverage of this story, read Moe Lane’s blog or Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.

How scared? Scared enough to have the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, throw together a report that paints tea party participants as violent, right-wing extremists on the eve of the protests.

The report is a steaming pile of horse shit without any evidence to back up its ridiculous claims. It’s insulting to everything America stands for, it insults American Veterans and it points out that Obama’s administration is scared shitless. All joking aside though, the report represents something very serious.

We would go through the DHS report for you but three prominent bloggers have already offered outstanding analyses. We HIGHLY recommend that you visit each of the following pages and read them entirely, particularly if you’re planning to attend a Tea Party.
