American Glob

Unless you’re a big fan of Obama, you probably remember thinking during the 2008 presidential campaign that many members of the media were doing more than just reporting. In fact, you might have even thought that they were actively trying to get Obama elected.

Well, Tucker Carlson and the Daily Caller have acquired the archives of Journolist and guess what… You were right.

It was the moment of greatest peril for then-Sen. Barack Obama’s political career. In the heat of the presidential campaign, videos surfaced of Obama’s pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, angrily denouncing whites, the U.S. government and America itself. Obama had once bragged of his closeness to Wright. Now the black nationalist preacher’s rhetoric was threatening to torpedo Obama’s campaign.

The crisis reached a howling pitch in mid-April, 2008, at an ABC News debate moderated by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos. Gibson asked Obama why it had taken him so long – nearly a year since Wright’s remarks became public – to dissociate himself from them. Stephanopoulos asked, “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”

Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”

Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air rightly notes:

Gee, doesn’t that sound familiar?

Based on these stunning revelations from The Daily Caller, can we finally put to bed the stupid notion that anyone who disagrees with Obama must be a racist?

Can we also acknowledge something many of us suspected all along… That the useless MSM has a liberal agenda and is officially an extension of the Democrat Party?

In the wake of Obama’s disastrous handling of the gulf oil disaster, Organizing For America is crafting a new image for The One – he is only a man. Really?

The Democrats of Mobile, Ala., have not forsaken President Obama, says Democratic activist Darlene Gay-Allen. But they have questions. Will scarce jobs become more scarce as the oil spill defiles their sliver of coastline on the gulf? Will it be safe to keep living in this city still recovering from Hurricane Katrina? Does Obama have any power to help them?

In answer, she cues up the music. “I’m Only a Man” by the Dells sometimes blares from a boombox as she registers voters around town and tries to persuade her neighbors to back the president during trying times.

“We try to explain to people it’s going to take time to get this all back on track,” said Gay-Allen, a volunteer for Organizing for America, a voter outreach group that grew out of the president’s vast grass-roots network during the 2008 campaign. “President Obama is only a man, and he’s doing the best he could.”

In Sarasota, Fla., where the oil has not yet reached the beaches but has already delivered a blow to the tourism industry, longtime Democratic activist Rick Farmer said his effort to win over voters has never been more difficult. The oil spill has deepened anxiety over persistent unemployment and an anemic housing market.

“I can’t tell you how much anger there is out there,” he said. “I have people ready to spit in my face.”

Forgive me if my sympathy level equals ZERO.

Maybe they should have said Obama is just a man when the media was repeatedly crowning Him with halos.

This is getting a bit tiresome.

Maybe the teacher would have been OK with this flag…

No, really…

“It is known in many esotericists’ circles, that before the Christ will reappear, there must be a measure of Peace in the world!  President Obama is helping to restore that peace.”

“When will Christ return and what should we look for?  It is know among many Esotericists that “when a measure of peace has been restored, when the principle of sharing is at least in process of controlling economic affairs, and when churches and political groups have begun to clean house. Then He can and will come; then the Kingdom of God will be publicly recognised and will no longer be a thing of dreams and of wishful thinking and orthodox hope.”  It is also know that Christ has never left us and that “He is ready and anxious publicly to appear to His loved Humanity.”   And lastly it known that “The opposing forces of entrenched evil must be routed before He for Whom all men wait, the Christ, can come.”

“President Obama’s commitment and work has been to restore peace.  He is and has accomplished this through his diplomatic efforts of talking to other countries instead of threatening war.  And, as we know, the whole world’ economic system has collapsed and we must begin to work on Sharing the world’s resources.  Pres. Obama has spent much time abroad in helping to bring about economic sharing and stability.  And, could it be that President Obama’s efforts in Afghanistan is to try to route out the opposing forces of evil?”

“I don’t know what that “Blue Light” was over Norway before Obama’s coming, but I do know blue represents peace and love.  May be the watching Hierarchy gave mankind a sign that the work of President Obama is nobel and worthy of his work.”

Actually, that “blue light” over Norway was the side effect of a Russian nuclear missile defense system test.

I hate to tell you this Kossacks, but that fact is more symbolic of President Obama than the second coming.

Think less Jesus, more Armageddon.

Left wing idiots have been blogging to the rooftops for months about all the supposed threats on the life of President Obama. Funny thing is, there hasn’t been an attack on President Obama’s life. Why? Because conservatives – even though they disagree with Obama’s policies – respect the fact that he is the President of the United States.

It’s only leftist scumbags who launch physical attacks on their perceived enemies…

“BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) – A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.”

“Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.”

“Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.”

Classy. I hope Democrats are proud of their violent, hateful progeny.

American leftists are quick to cry foul when they see any combination of religion and politics on the conservative side, but it’s a different story if religion can be used to promote their agenda.

Case in point? Liberals recently held faith based “prayer vigils” in favor of ObamaCare at Senator Joe Lieberman’s house in Connecticut…

Talking Points Memo:

“A growing number Connecticut’s religious leaders are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to appeal to a higher power and change his mind about including a public option in a health care reform bill. Last night, hundreds of reform supporters from congregations across the state held a candlelight vigil outside Lieberman’s home in Stamford, CT.”

SEIU:

On Sunday, members of the Connecticut faith community staged a candlelight vigil outside Sen. Joe Lieberman’s home in Connecticut. The Stamford Advocate reported, “clergy from several religious dominations prayed in three languages outside the fourth-term senator’s home, surrounded by a crowd the Fire Marshal’s Office estimated to number nearly 500.”

My Left Nutmeg:

“This has to send a potent message to Lieberman. The symbolism is simply stunning. Rabbis protesting outside Joe Lieberman’s home in Stamford? Dan Malloy? Who thought they’d ever see this happening?”

Connecticut Bob:

“Over 500 clergy, parishioners, and residents attended a prayer vigil outside the Stamford home of Sen. Joe Lieberman last night to protest the senator’s promise to block a vote on health care reform.”

Huffington Post:

“More than 400 Connecticut residents, health care reform advocates, and clergy attended an evening prayer vigil that began at Senator Joe Lieberman’s Alma Mater, Stamford High School.”

This is a typical double standard which everyone remembers from the 2008 presidential election.

Sarah Palin’s religious beliefs were continually twisted into lies:

“Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God. Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.”

Yet Obama’s documented radical religious connections were no problem at all:

“Of all the strange features of this presidential race, the tarnishing of Barack Obama has got to be the most ridiculous. First Obama was accused of anti-religious elitism. Then he was accused of identifying with the underclass anger of his spiritual mentor. Excuse me, but which is it? Start with Obama’s turbulent preacher. Yes, Jeremiah Wright says some disgraceful things. But can anyone explain how that changes Obama’s qualities as a candidate?”

You guys on the left have no business holding “prayer vigils” for ObamaCare or anything else for that matter.

Don’t think this will be forgotten when you’re thrown out of power.

Tick tick tick tick tick tick………

Andrew Sullivan’s latest Obama-idol-worshiping post is titled “We Have a President.”

Who is he calling “WE?”

Andrew Sullivan is not a United States citizen. Where does he get off using the term “WE” in a post about the President of the United States? Obama is not Andrew Sullivan’s president.

As much as Andrew Sullivan would hate to admit it, the politician who rules his world is Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

A more appropriate title for Sullivan’s Obama-love post would be “YOU Have a President.”

Sullivan’s attempt to insinuate himself as an American -which he is not- is akin to an American pundit suggesting that “WE Have a Queen” in Elizabeth II.

Unfortunately for Andrew Sullivan, “WE” Americans are not ruled by a queen.

Pun sort of intended…

The new TV series “V”, which is actually a remake of a 1980′s miniseries, debuts tonight on ABC at 8 pm. While the series will follow the storyline of the original – aliens come to Earth looking like nice people but turn out to be people eating lizards – the remake has a rather “yes we can” flavor to it.

TV critic and libertarian Glenn Garvin writes:

“Imagine this. At a time of political turmoil, a charismatic, telegenic new leader arrives virtually out of nowhere. He offers a message of hope and reconciliation based on compromise and promises to marshal technology for a better future that will include universal health care.”

“The news media swoons in admiration — one simpering anchorman even shouts at a reporter who asks a tough question: “Why don’t you show some respect?!!” The public is likewise smitten, except for a few nut cases who circulate batty rumors on the Internet about the leader’s origins and intentions. The leader, undismayed, offers assurances that are soothing, if also just a tiny bit condescending: “Embracing change is never easy.”

“So, does that sound like anyone you know? Oh, wait — did I mention the leader is secretly a totalitarian space lizard who’s come here to eat us?”

“Welcome to ABC’s V, the final, the most fascinating and bound to be the most controversial new show of the fall television season. Nominally a rousing sci-fi space opera about alien invaders bent on the conquest (and digestion) of all humanity, it’s also a barbed commentary on Obamamania that will infuriate the president’s supporters and delight his detractors.”

And right on cue, the ever snarky Obama-loving gossip site Gawker is already denouncing the show.

Brian Moylan writes:

“…There’s even a religious rebel named Father Jack, which is basically an anagram of George W. Bush.”

“The birthers will be lapping up a show about a foreign-born president who comes to snatch society out of their clutches, and Glenn Back (spelling anyone?) and his cronies will love to see a media that is overtaken by liberals and keeps the truth away from the “real Americans.” But what will everyone else think?”

“We find it hard to believe that thinly-veiIed conservative propaganda will find a strong foothold with the core sci-fi audience, and as for those leaning to the right, they tend to like their entertainment much more straightforward.”

But the real money quote from Gawker comes at the end…

“Our prognosis, keep picking on the president and the only letters that V will get are D.O.A.”

Awww. Does it make you angwy when people make fun of the pwesident, Bwian?

Here’s the trailer for the show:

You’re in luck! Some guy is selling them on eBay!

The seller must not be familiar with the official code for the United States flag…

§176. Respect for flag:

“The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

“Obama says everyone needs
Health coverage in America now.
We need to insure those 47 million
But the government doesn’t know how.”

The children in this video are completely innocent and frankly, their performance is awesome!

The point is that they are being used for blatant political purposes.

If these children, or any children, appeared on a “news” network to sing about the agenda of George W. Bush or even Bill Clinton, it would have been rightly treated by the media as an outrageous scandal. Welcome to the age of “change.”

Welcome to the age of Obama.
