Democrat Senator Russ Feingold is clinging by his fingernails to the land of rainbow shitting unicorns. The Hill Reports…

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) decried what he said was a “systematic, conscious” effort by groups to “destroy” President Obama. Feingold, who’s facing a tough reelection effort this fall, blamed coordinated opposition to Obama and the Democratic agenda in Congress for some of the political and electoral woes facing his party this fall.

Puhhlleeeaaase…….

Hat tip to Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit.

After all, how better to go after Sarah Palin than to don ridiculous looking bear costumes? Yeah, that’ll show America how ridiculous you are Palin is. Of course, the best part of this is the headline chosen by The Hill which reads “Liberal Group Launches Attack on Palin.”

Wow. Really? A liberal group is launching an attack on Sarah Palin? Boy, that’s news. I could have sworn that’s been ongoing since the instant John McCain announced her as his running mate two years ago. Dumb headlines aside, here’s how The Hill describes the situation…

Emily’s List President Stephanie Schriock detailed the group’s new “Sarah Doesn’t Speak for Me” campaign during an availability Tuesday morning at the National Press Club. The campaign is part of an effort to combat Palin’s effect in this fall’s elections and push back against her slate of candidates.

The campaign will center at first on a new website, which highlights some of the more controversial things Palin and her candidates have said during the election cycle.

“We created this campaign because we didnt want women across the country to think that there is only one voice for women, and we didn’t want Sarah Palin’s voice to go unchallenged,” Schriock said.

Good for you, Stephanie. Sarah Palin has had it way too easy in the media. It’s about time some liberal activists stood up and criticized the former governor. Great video, by the way. If the political activism thing doesn’t work out, you can always fall back on a career in furry fetishism.

The video is full of inaccuracies. Sarah Palin has never said she wants to take away a woman’s right to choose. Republicans have never tried to take away unemployment benefits, and on and on. But then, when have liberal activists ever let facts get in the way of their agenda?

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…

It’s stuffed with non-military related PORK. Shocker.

House Democrats are preparing to pass an Afghanistan war-spending bill on a party-line vote as Republicans balk at extra provisions the White House wants in the measure. [SNIP]

Senior Democrats in the upper chamber and the Obama administration are looking to attach to the war bill a $23 billion fund to help state and local governments stave off teacher layoffs. [SNIP]

The Obama administration has called on Congress to approve the war-spending bill by the Memorial Day recess. Of the $59 billion in the measure moving through the Senate, $33.5 billion is for military operations and will go toward funding Obama’s plan to increase U.S. troops in Afghanistan by 30,000. The Senate measure also has $13.4 billion for compensation to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange [Fine!], $6.2 for foreign aid and $5.1 for domestic disaster aid.

If the only two provisions in the bill were for our military in Afghanistan and our Vietnam vets, the bill would likely get unanimous support from the GOP. Democrats can’t have it that way though. They have to include union kickbacks in everything. How else could they get votes?

Last month, Michelle Malkin wrote on her website that when it comes to the Obama Administration, “Everything’s Staged.”

She pointed to faked town halls, fake lab coats and even stand-in produce from the White House garden.

Today, The Hill echoes Malkin’s point while describing Obama’s recent Q & A session with senate Democrats.

Senate Democrats held back from asking President Barack Obama about healthcare reform during a carefully scripted question-and-answer session in front of television cameras.

With the cameras rolling, a group of senators selected in advance by the Democratic leadership asked questions about such topics as partisan gridlock and GOP obstruction.

But once the president left and reporters were escorted out of the room, senators pressed White House officials about healthcare reform, according to those at the meeting.

Carefully scripted, questions selected in advance and reporters conveniently hustled out the door before the real questions came. Sounds pretty transparent to me.
