More from Paul Mason's report on Glen Beck...

".....A local pastor kicks off the proceedings. Beck - and the other speakers - he claims, "will be speaking for God": a claim Beck is not around to hear and will later contradict. Not only this, but Beck and others are the target of unspecified people who would like to kill them, the pastor insists: hence, we the audience must pray for their safety.

Next the compere, who says that America is under siege from more than just al-Qaeda:

"Today we're not only being attacked by terrorists but by those who believe in different principles: our children are being indoctrinated with liberal views on a daily basis."

And consider this, from an Iraq-style deck of "wanted cards" on sale in the sparsely populated exhibition space: a picture of Barack Obama, framed with the legend:

"Trust me. I am not a Kenyan born, lying, arrogant Muslim communist that hates America - really I'm not: Barack Hussein Obama, President USA, Socialist/Communist . The Ultimate Race Card. Done in 2102," complete with the caveat: "This is not a quotation of this person merely a funny anecdotal statement."

...Beck spoke for one hour thirty minutes, to an audience of about 2,000 paying up to $125 (£80) a seat. Having been whipped up by the previous speakers, and videos eliding images of D-Day with 9/11 and Fallujah, they were now whipped down by Glenn Beck.

His website, TheBlaze.com had already warned followers to desist from wearing historical costumes and toting self-scrawled banners open to the accusation of bigotry. So the crowd were mainly wearing Beck t-shirts ($15) and, some, beatific smiles."

Looking down on people isn't exactly a new platform for Kerry...

During the 2004 Presidential election campaign, Kerry said of Bush, "I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot."

And in 2006, he famously insulted the intelligence of our fighting men and women with this gem:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Regarding Kerry's recent snobbery, William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection points out that it's not uneducated voters that are the problem; it's Democrats that are simply out of touch.

"It just continues the Democrats' theme that the reason people are upset is because they don't understand," he said. "They're not smart enough. That sort of rhetoric just gets people even more upset."

A poll at the Boston Herald suggests that the accusation of ignorance belongs squarely on the shoulders of the Democratic leadership. Only 4% of the readers believe it is the voters that are uninformed about the Dems, while 86% say that the Democratic leadership is actually uninformed about the voters.

Glenn Beck is supposed to be a demagogue. A fear monger. A racist. But those who have been around him lately are having a hard time coming to those conclusions.

Enter Paul Mason. Writing for the BBC, he recounts a recent demagogue-less Beck speech. “Once Glenn Beck starts speaking the language becomes restrained, moderate, not even a hint of euphemism or innuendo,” he writes, “indeed an insistence that the audience must reach out and persuade their political enemies, not hate them.”

“[T]here was no hate in the speech I heard,” Mason adds later. “And there was very little politics. In the process of becoming the figurehead for the American right, Beck has found new depths within his own personality and ‘got religion’ even more than he had it before.”

Mason isn’t alone in his observations. Tim Kraulidis was assigned as Beck’s escort at another recent speaking engagement. Kraulidis describes the events he saw as intriguing. “I was impressed with the politeness, sincerity, and friendliness of this man,” he writes. “He is a very conscientious man.” He goes on to explain that Beck fulfilled every picture request, went out of his way to greet volunteers and production staff, and noted that Beck’s attitude was such that “it was not all about him.” No hate speech. No fear mongering.

Pedro Martínez: If true, then it follows that clueless voters are the ones that put Obama in power. That's something I can believe in!

FOX NEWS LIES AGAIN

The REAL story in Greece over the riots was due to the Greek government going almost bankrupt. Which meant the government (as part of the deal from the EU to bail them out) had to cut freeze public sector jobs and wages.

Another Dem leader blames stupid voters for not supporting Dems
Thomas Lifson
The Death Wish Democrats added another member yesterday, as Senator John Kerry calimed that voters were, in essence, too stupid to vote for his party.

Hillary Chabot reports in the Boston Herald:

A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.

"We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what's happening," Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.


Yeah, that'll work.

Tuesday: They will see it for what it is: A well timed smear designed by the lying Left to help the Democrats win in November. They can't run on their record so the Liberal Left has to scrape bottom.

Reagan 'responds' to Obama and his supporters
David Paulin
Here is a must-see Youtube clip in which Ronald Reagan serves up a civics lesson -- talking about American exceptionalism, patriotism, and the importance of teaching these things to our children. And as the title of this Youtube clip suggests, it's as if Reagan were responding directly to Obama and his postmodern, anti-American, and post-colonial worldview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS4yf723kmY&feature=player_embedded

CNN, whose
poll has lagged considerably behind other polling outfits in gauging
Obama's unpopularity has released a survey that shows the president
tanking with 42% approval rating:

The
president's approval rating now stands at 42 percent - an all time low
in CNN polling and 8 points lower than where Obama was only three
weeks ago. Moreover, 56 percent of all Americans think the president
has fallen short of their expectations. (More poll results)

The
president's sagging poll numbers couldn't come at a worse time for
congressional Democrats, themselves facing a nine-point deficit in the
so-called "generic ballot" question heading into the midterm elections.
In fact, the president's approval rating is the same as that of
President Clinton's in 1994 - the midterm election year that saw
Republicans wrest control of both the House and Senate.


In even worse news for congressional Democrats, likely voters say they
are considerably more likely to vote for a candidate the president
opposes than one he supports. On the other hand, 50 percent of voters
said they would be more likely to vote for a Tea Party-backed candidate
while a third of Americans said Tea Party support would dissuade their
vote for a candidate.

9/12 Tea Partiers Reject Obama-As-Hitler Comparison (Video)

<span>

Tuesday: I've explained it. It's not my problem if you can't see the difference. You distorted the facts as you presented them.

The "they" wasn't identified. It dishonestly referenced the tea party as a whole. But the fact is it was ONE group and they recieved criticism from within their own ranks. The criticism was so strong, they took the sign down.

Tea party billboard comparing Barack Obama to Hitler, Lenin, covered up: group calls it bad decision

Also, Tuesday referenced "billboards." That's a plural word form. And the implication is that "they" meaning the tea party, puts up "billboards" meaning many, depicting Obama as Hitler.

A complete distortion of the known facts. The billboard (singular) compared Obama with other Socialist leaders. Hitler was one of them. AND it IMMEDIATELY drew criticism from within the Tea Party at large and was replaced.

That's a far cry from posters that put mustaches on Palin, Beck, and other Conservatives. And I've provided more than one video showing different groups that engaged in this sort of practice.

And I've posted other videos where known democratic operatives infiltrated a Tea Party group and spewed racial remarks and carried racially charged signs. This was done all as a ruse to make the Tea Party look racist. And even though this tactic was known to the left, they still spewed it out as if it was fact.

Christine and the 'mice with human brains'
J.R. Dunn
Christine O'Donnell is being pilloried for a remark she made in 2007 to Bill O'Reilly concerning "mice with human brains." Prime evidence, we're told, that O'Donnell is your standard-issue ignorant and uneducated right-winger babbling about things she just doesn't -- not to mention can't -- understand.

In a point of fact, it's quite clear that O'Donnell is almost completely correct in her assertion and her critics dead wrong. Such human-animal hybrids are no rarity. The technical term for them is "chimeras", and there are hundreds, if not thousands of varieties in existence.

Among them are mouse-human neural chimeras, a project being carried out by Dr. Irving Weissman, a well-respected Stanford researcher, with the assistance of Dr. J. Mike McCune. Dr. Weissman sought and was given permission for such an experiment from Stanford University as early as 2005. He began research shortly afterward, and has published several papers dealing with the results. According to Scientific American, his ultimate goal is a mouse with a brain composed completely of human neural tissue -- exactly what O'Donnell was referring to.

No effort at secrecy has been made - Dr. Weissman's research has been discussed in the Washington Post, the Times of London, the Wall Street Journal, Reason Magazine, and the National Geographic, along with no end of specialty journals. In other words, such creatures exist and there is no excuse for any well-informed individual not to know about it.

Why create chimeras? To provide a means of carrying out neurological research impossible to do on human beings. Mice are animals (sorry, PETA!), and can be subject to severe procedures to fit the researcher's requirements. There has been vigorous debate concerning the ethical and scientific questions surrounding chimeras. Dr. Weissman himself is fully cognizant of potential dangers, having gone on record to warn against allowing such creatures to breed.

So, score one for Christine O'Donnell, and zero for her critics. This is all very similar to the attacks on Ronald Reagan over his assertion that trees cause the largest amount of air pollution. A pure statement of fact -- Reagan was simply quoting a study concerning pollution in the form of tars by pines and firs. (This is what causes the Smoky Mountains to be smoky, by the way.)

Eventually, somebody's going to want to experiment with injecting human brain cells into liberals -- but we have put our foot down somewhere.

Vikings: I know exactly to what she is referring and she's distorting the facts. This is the usual tactic of the left.

.. so the Tea party are saying it's wrong to have signs and billboards made up by their members comparing Obama to Hitler.. but it's ok to verbally compare Obama to Hitler.

"He says he’s seen different signs that have compared Obama to Hitler, or pictures of Obama with a Hitler-style mustache drawn on it, and they’ve asked people put the signs away because they’re “distasteful.” He says people are tired of slander and mudslinging and the Tea Party doesn’t need to take part in it. While he doesn’t agree with posting the billboard, White says he agrees that Obama has followed several of the same principles as Hitler."

.. And to nit pick over whether it's a sign or billboard... So, on the right... you have freedom of speech and can compare Obama to Hitler.

But what does that say about the people who feel the need to do it?

Tuesday: here's what Tuesday is refering to

Black Panther voter intimidation testimony today
Thomas Lifson
Christopher Coates, former voting chief for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, has given powerful testimony this morning, under oath, about the dismissal of charges against members of the New Black Panther Party who carried truncheons at a polling place in Philadelphia. Fox News reports:

Coates went in depth about a controversial decision to dismiss charges against New Black Panther members after they were videotaped outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 dressed in military-style uniforms and allegedly hurling racial slurs while one brandished a night stick.

The case has drifted in and out of the limelight over the past year as the commission has struggled to investigate it. Ex-Justice official J. Christian Adams fueled the controversy when he testified in July and accused his former employer of showing "hostility" toward cases that involve white victims and black defendants.

Nearly three months later, Coates backed up Adams' claims. In lengthy and detailed testimony, he said the department cultivates a "hostile atmosphere" against "race-neutral enforcement" of the Voting Rights Act. [...]

He said civil rights attorneys stick to cases that involve minority victims and that the Black Panther case was dismissed following "pressure" by the NAACP and "anger" at the case within the Justice Department itself.

"That anger was the result of their deep-seated opposition to the equal enforcement of the Voting Rights Act against racial minorities and for the protection of white voters who have been discriminated against," he said.


This outrageous behavior by the top law enforcement agency of the United States, denying equal protection of the law to white voters, has the potential to seriously damage AG Eric Holder, and the man who appointed him, Barack Obama, and the entire Democratic Party. The DoJ's inspector General is already investigating, and and if Republicans control, the House of Representatives next year, we can expect serious investigation armed with subpoena power.

Zoe Lofgren's contemptible summoning of satirist Steven Colbert to testify before her committee -- only to have the comedian be asked to leave by the more level-headed John Conyers -- may well have been a diversionary effort, to suck away the media spotlight. It no doubt will succeed in helping the liberal media to ignore the explosive Coates testimony, but the liberal media no longer have the power to deep six stories that embarrass their Democrat allies.

The Obama Justice Department is doing its best to create the impression among the white majority that it regards them as second class citizens. As further details emerge, the damage to Obama and the Democrats will grow worse, I predict.

Tuesday: That's not the point.  The point is that you on the left falsely accused the Tea Party of this sign.
