Andrew Breitbart: ACORN videos = "the Abu Gharib of the Great Society"

I didn't know how to embed this video, nor whether it's possible, so I'm just linking to it here. But I agree with Andrew Breitbart. There is a war going on with the media. We must use the weapons at our disposal to fight it. And Breitbart has got the mojo to run the dojo.

Someone said "A lie will go around the world while truth is pulling its boots on." There's not much you can do about this velocity disparity since fallen humans often wish lies to be true more than they want to accept the truth.

But once truth does pull on its boots, hopefully the boots will be used to crush skulls and break limbs of the falsehood generators. In this regard, Andrew Breitbart is a fighter to emulate in this war. Thanks to him, ACORN is now toxic to politicians, even if the organization is not completely neutralized. Another guy mentioned here in the past who knows how to wield media weapons is John Ziegler, who commissioned that Zogby poll about how ignorant Obama voters actually were. And, of course, Roger Simon and all the folks over at PJTV.

Rush Limbaugh on the news media's contempt for conservatives

Here's the conclusion from Rush's excellent opinion piece in WSJ:

As I explained on my radio show, this spectacle is bigger than I am on several levels. There is a contempt in the news business, including the sportswriter community, for conservatives that reflects the blind hatred espoused by Messrs. Sharpton and Jackson. "Racism" is too often their sledgehammer. And it is being used to try to keep citizens who don't share the left's agenda from participating in the full array of opportunities this nation otherwise affords each of us. It was on display many years ago in an effort to smear Clarence Thomas with racist stereotypes and keep him off the Supreme Court. More recently, it was employed against patriotic citizens who attended town-hall meetings and tea-party protests.

These intimidation tactics are working and spreading, and they are a cancer on our society.

That last line is what scares me the most, because I do think these tactics seem to be working. The media and the left all feel empowered now that they have someone in the White House, empowered to attack those with different ideas.

Because the left loves to lie and the press doesn't mind playing along

OOPS! Self-righteous liar from the "yes men" gets caught out...These "yes men" types go around faking press interviews/press conferences. They are quite impressed with themselves. Today our crusading Yes Man was impersonating the Chamber of Commerce at the National Press Club, stating that the Chamber objects to clean coal and would prefer solar energy. He gets outed by a real employee of the Chamber who accidentally got wind of the fraudulent press conference. The attendant press gets a clue and asks our crusading "yes man" who the hell he really is, and he answers with pathetic liberal boilerplate. And his voice quivers cuz he's really bummed his farce wasn't swallowed whole in what would have been an orgasmic Alinsky-ite apotheosis for his pathetic psyche. disgusting.

Ohio Issue 3: Just Say 'No'

Norma put up this post concerning Ohio Issue 3 over 6 weeks ago and it is still generating comments and hits. She had a guest blogger, Buckeye RINO, write the meat of the post which definitely touched nerves, here's an excerpt:

Gamblers have no idea how much "entertainment" they will receive for a set price. Conceivably one gambler can be entertained all day for $20, while another will lose that same $20 within seconds. Casinos are thieves that try to seize all that they can. Casinos are not open, not transparent, which is why they are the preferred venue for money laundering.

Somali pirates create jobs. Nigerian scammers create jobs. Of course casinos create jobs, but the jobs that are created are not the product of newly created wealth. They are parasitic jobs that feed off the plundered wealth that others created. Similarly, taxes, which are confiscated wealth that others created, also fund jobs. But just as we cannot tax our society into prosperity, we cannot gamble our society into prosperity. Producers are the wealth creators, and casinos aren't producers.

I contributed a bit within the comments, which are worth reading. Not my comments, mind you, but some of the others. Although, in reviewing the post I did notice that I linked to a worthwhile fact-checking site regarding Ohio Issue 3.

I've heard the pro-gambling side from people: recreational casino users who know when to quit and assume everyone else does, business owners who want to add slot machines for extra bucks, etc. They all say the same thing: people should take responsibility for themselves, none of the government's business, etc. They sound sanctimoniously libertarian. But there is a social cost to gambling and it preys on the weakest and poorest. Huge corporations are running the show, and their coziness with the state governments should make even the libertarians wary.

Not Nazis, just elite Chicago thugs

There's that word elite again, this time being used by William Murchison of DMN to describe Obama and his administration.

This isn't Hitler stuff to tell the truth. It puts one more in mind of an elite class of Chicagoans: the kind once widely known for putting the squeeze on merchants who had chosen a different supplier and now needed a little persuasion -- so's the guys could finally see the light, right? Labor unions, too, back in their heyday, were good at a little friendly coercion, slyly demonstrating to bosses the virtues of "cooperation."

The whole thing is well-written; I especially appreciated his sarcasm about "points of view" in the media. As if only FOX news had one.

Wesley Willis sings Jesus Christ

Why isn't this in the missalette? Better than anything those losers from St. Louis ever wrote.

Rhymes with "I need a gun"

Saint Mother Teresa gets compared to a mass murderer. Great laugh line, too. I'll have to remember that.

Mao Tse Tung was a piece of shit who killed Americans along with 70 million Chinese people.

What should be done with this woman? Early retirement? Pull the ejection lever, Barack.

Truther Friend Update

The friend I mentioned in this post is up to 48-point Times New Roman in his rants. Alex Jones is his new patron saint. His emails are barely readable. I wish I was joking. Lithium is needed.
