WOW. Democrats are dumber than even we thought. Checkout Biden's gaffe-of-the-day, Third Reich edition.
There is a concept in Internet postings called “Godwin’s Law”, whereby someone makes himself look incredibly foolish by hyberbolizing a comparison of something that person does not like to anything relating to Hitlerian Germany. Immediately, the writer loses all credibility, as the Third Reich was such an extreme epoch of horrors that relating your freshman-level Calculus course and its instructor to something fiendish der Fuehrer himself would have dreamed up not only proves you have no actual sense of the scope of history, but are deficient in the most basic abilities to write and form competent analogies.
Your math class is hard, and it should be challenging, but it is nothing at all like being in a concentration camp.
Today, Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States, made light of the suffering of millions of people under the Third Reich by violating Godwin’s Law in an email he sent out to Democrats — using anachronistic, deliberate references to Hitlerian military tactics that are not part of either Biden’s personal speech patterns or common American vernacular. The lot of us actually sat down and conducted a little focus group here at Buzzquarters on this one: we each called five people we know, and we asked them all when the last time they heard the word “blitzkreig” was. Panda claims he personally has never heard the word, and thought it was a kind of shot with Jaggermeister in it, which it very well could be. The rest of us last heard it while watching a WWII documentary on Netflix. Out of our friends, only one of them could think of the last time they heard someone say “blitzkreig”, and that was also a WWII movie, possibly Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie stinker.
No one could remember “blitzkrieg” being used by a politician of either party.
So, Biden’s word choices are strange…but Democrats continued assault on the Tea Party Movement is stranger.
People, of all the asinine, self-destructive things the Democrat Party has done to itself in the last two years of service to the cult of Obama, declaring war on the Tea Party movement is the most “bone-headed” (to use the current “president’s” favorite campaign adjective for himself). It’s, frankly, to channel Joe Biden himself, as stupid as Adolf Hitler declaring war on the United States after Pearl Harbor. If you’ve ever caught a WWII documentary, on Netflix or otherwise, you’d know that Americans declared war on Japan after the attack on Hawaii, but not the Third Reich. Hitler expanded the fight by issuing a war declaration upon the American people, and you know how well that ultimately worked out for him, and the forces of evil in general.
So, if WWII comparisons are going to be made about anyone today, they should be made between Hitler’s stupidity and the stupidity of the ruling party in America today, both of whom declared war upon the American people. Hitler did it by attacking the shipping lanes and sinking US ships, while Democrats have done it by assailing regular Americans for standing up against reckless spending, overtaxation, the socialization of our industries, and the unconstitutional forced purchasing of products against our will.
In both cases, the fools declaring war upon Americans have no idea what Americans are really made of — and just how preternaturally AWESOME we collectively are at ass-kicking fascists, socialists, elitists, and ice cream gobbling buffoons like Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
The hubris and scorn for the American people Democrats evidence on a daily basis is stunning. The fact no one proofed, edited, or stopped Biden’s email from going out either means Democrats believe they can get away with anything at this point, or those in power are so inept as to not even realize how foolish this email was to begin with.
Either way, we imagine coming election days will play out very much like those little video clips that are so popular, where Hitler and his fellow well-dressed lunatics are huddled in a bunker listening to reports of the disaster unfolding around them, expletives flying, unable to comprehend how their well-oiled, propaganda-supported, crisply-marketed, and aggressively-branded operation came crashing down so spectacularly when Americans finally came to kick their ass (to borrow another phrase from our spectacular orator of a “president”).
Declare war on Americans, and get what’s coming to you.
***********************************************************
UPDATE: Because people have asked, yes, Biden’s middle name really is “Robinette”.
His mother, Catherine, was a firecracker with a real sense of humor. She gave her kid a funny name, dressed him funny as a child, then demanded he man up and fight back against all the bullies who teased him. But, instead, he’d come running home in tears to hide behind her apron whenever the tougher kids at school would beat the heck out of him. So, Catherine would threaten to go fight the bullies herself, and apparently that would just make Biden cry more.
We wonder why he didn’t just sic the dog on those big meanies. Why else give a big dog like that to such a little dandy?
The reason Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is the man he is today.
QUESTION: Are you willing to give up some free time, read lots of very boring material, and become an expert debater and surrogate speaker by 2012?
We’re going to ask you to consider doing something that won’t be any fun at all, and will actually be a big stretch and pain in the neck for most of you. But, just think about doing this, and think about any friends or relatives out there who would be good at this too, and get them all involved.
Do you know what surrogate speakers are, for political campaigns?
These are people who volunteer for campaigns in the capacity of public speakers and who then seek out opportunities on the local level to represent a candidate in places that candidate more likely than not won’t be able to go, like nursing homes, public school auditoriums, or oddities like the Bug House Square Debates here in Chicago (which is like the speaker’s soapbox forum in the middle of a town square that you’d see in an old movie about colonial days or the Wild West).
In 2008, all of us served as surrogate speakers for Hillary Clinton’s campaign. We all attended a training meeting in Springfield, Ohio run by the campaign, and we were essentially told to just read the points on the Clinton campaign website, become familiar with her positions, then use personal stories to illustrate why we supported Clinton and wanted her to be president.
This was all done while the primaries were already running…but we think the Clinton campaign should have started this much sooner, like back in 2006. So, by 2008, it could have had a great ground team of people who were knowledgeable, comfortable speaking in public, and as prepped with notecards, facts, and statistics as the best high school and college debate teams around.
Did any of you participate in debate in school? Did you have a speech class where you used to make notecards that fit in recipe boxes, and you collected new cards with new facts as issues developed and used them in your arguments?
This is actually how we write the essays here on HillBuzz. When all of us are out and about in Boystown, or when we’re together for some event, we all take notes on little slips of paper or cards, then those are collected and assembled into the essays. We use a blank wall by the computer to arrange the cards in the order we want to talk about things, and pull a card off the wall when we’ve used all the info, so we then get an idea of what’s left to talk about. That’s our little system, that we learned from the nuns in Catholic School, and it’s what we used as Hillary surrogates as well to prep for the public speaking we did for the campaign. We do this for any interviews we’re asked to sit for as well, and always have a few notecards of things ready in case we’re engaged in a debate.
The 2012 election will be a major turning point for this country, when we believe the Media will do everything it can to get Obama re-elected. We believe that will be a disaster for the nation we love, so we want to do everything we possibly can to make sure he is defeated and exiled to Hawaii, where he can be Honolulu’s problem instead of Washington’s.
To do that, we need you to think about taking that next step in your personal evolution. If you read us every day, and you read other political sites, you are already more informed and aware than 80% of the population.
The next step is becoming more informed and aware than Democrat political operatives, so that in 2011, actually, when the first round of summer county fairs and other events rolls around and we’re all collecting signatures to get Sarah Palin on the ballot for the Republican nomination (or, insert your candidate of choice if you aren’t with us on this, but still want to defeat Obama), you can effectively address just about anything the Left lobs at you.
What we’ve found in campaigning and becoming immersed in politics the last two years is that Leftists have only about 5-6 default things they will ever say to you in public. If we can all pool together our resources and brainstorm effective arguments to handle these same repeating statements from the Left, we think we could put together a collection of debate cards that could do wonders for the American Resistance in the next presidential election.
The trick is having something substantive, erudite, and witty to say to whatever nastiness a Leftist throws at you — so that you are never taken by surprise, never at a loss for words, and always have something incredible to say to shoot a moron down in a classy way.
Three things come to mind in this regard:
(1) Fictitious president Jed Bartlett’s shootdown of a “religious” hatemonger on The West Wing, by using Bible quotes against someone preaching intolerance using the Bible as her scapegoat
(2) Fictitious Aunt Bernice on Designing Women doing the same thing, evidencing a rare moment of lucidity in wielding her information instead of stumbling and bumbling like she usually did
(3) Senator Lloyd Bentsen’s 1988 smackdown of Dan Quayle
Please add other favorite videos of your own, where someone got the best of an argument by coming across extemporaneously while either mastering complex facts or schooling someone using well-phrased rebuttals.
It’s going to be a lot of hard work.
It’s going to require homework and dedication, folks, and it won’t be fun. You’ll have to make notecards, get a little recipe box, and do things you have not done in probably 20-30 years or more.
But, is America worth it?
Is this country and its future, your children’s future, worth you turning off the TV for an hour a day and boning up on your factual knowledge of the damage the Obama Administration has done to this country since The Lightbringer, Dr. Utopia, took office?
If it is, then you need to start prepping yourself to fill an unpaid, volunteer, highly committed role in the Resistance ahead…as we start to prep now for 2012 so that all of you out there, every single daily reader we have, can step onto the scene in the next election as a true leader in his or her community. YOU need to prep yourself to become surrogate speakers, whether you are comfortable with doing this right now or not. It’s going to take time. Don’t worry, we have the two years, but just like someone training for a bodybuilding show you need to mentally commit to doing this and work out a plan on how you can accomplish it.
But, just think about this…how will your life chance by becoming a leader like this, someone who stop up for their country?
The other day, when we were all celebrating our birthdays together, our friend Althea had baked us a big cake and asked us to make wishes as we collectively blew out the candles. We don’t do a lot of wishing or hoping around here, because we think it’s for fairytales and there’s real work to be done, but Althea asked us what we wanted most and all of us were surprisingly on the same page (except for Panda, who just wanted more cake).
Our greatest hope and desire is that someday, someone who reads this site every day becomes a United States Senator, a Congressperson, a Mayor, or even a future President. Someone who has followed our journey here at HillBuzz and took in what we’ve been trying to say these last two years who goes on to run for office with a little nudge for us…and then becomes an ideal elected official because of that kickstart we gave him or her.
We can’t express the immense honor that would be. The magnitude of the thought itself is beyond humbling, that we can even conceive of having such a positive impact upon the nation by inspiring someone great out there to discover her or his greatness…just by us encouraging that person to step it up and become a leader in his or her neck of the woods.
That’s what we want most from life. We’ll skip the fun things that go on most nights here in Boystown to write, to strategize, and to keep reaching out to all of you because we have this dream that it’s making this kind of a difference…whether we’ll ever see it or not, or know that it’s happened. But, Great Merciful Zeus, we’d all surely love more than anything to know a future Senator or President got her or his start by making little debate cards for 2012 at our urging.
Everyone has to start somewhere.
For too long good and decent Americans have allowed the worst of the worst to hold elected office because regular, honest, good people were too busy to get involved and take on leadership roles.
We’re all busy.
It’s hard to find the time to squeeze everything in. That’s the story of our lives around here.
But this is important, so we’d like you to at least consider doing this…and start exercising your brains, expanding your knowledge, and working over any public speaking fears you may have because we are telling you right now that America needs your help in 2012.
And for you to be effective, you have to start doing your homework today.
QUESTION: Can you see Obama's face in the Obamaspill-tainted waters?
Well, thanks to his cult of personality and DNC-backed merchandising machine in 2008, Obama’s face WAS practically everywhere for awhile, from super-creepy Saddam Hussein inspired posters on the walls of buildings here in Chicago to those ubiquitous buttons and other campaign paraphernalia. Perhaps this junk just washed into the ocean after being chucked into so many toilets once disillusioned cultists stopped drinking their Kool-Aid.
Or, maybe the Obamaspill is such a colossal failure on the part of the Obama administration that Gaia herself, the anthropomorphized planet-goddess the Left worships in place of traditional religions, is sending a clear and distinct message in terms of who’s to blame for this disaster.
Maybe it’s a mermaid’s wanted poster, demanding Obama be held accountable for killing all of those fishes with his fey, dithering lack of leadership and refusal to use every available tool to clean up the oil polluting the Gulf.
Whatever the cause, we can clearly see Obama in that surf…and not splashing around preening for hunky secret service agents or any beach boys who might be within visual range, like he so enjoys doing.
Can you see Obama’s creepy, sallow face in the water too?
EXCELLENT ARTICLE: Obama the Edsel
Please read this excellent article by Jim Geraghty, called Obma the Edsel.
Essentially, it says that focus groups were run on the current “president” and the Democrat brand. Participants were asked to describe the “president” as a car, and some said he was an Edsel or a wrecked Ferrari…either something that was promised to be life-changing great but sucked in the end, or something some people thought was beautiful and amazing but was an unsalvageable mess now.
Two key things seem to have driven Independents away from Democrats, and it’s fascinating to us that we resonated so strongly with these two as well:
(1) The way the Obamacare bill was handled, particularly in the Senate, has enraged and alienated many independents, because of backroom, corrupt deals struck by the likes of Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson that disgusted so many Americans. Democrats broke their promise to maintain a transparent and open judicious process with healthcare reform. They crammed through a bill none of them read in the dead of night, cloaked in secret, before Christmas Eve. They rushed to ram through massive legislation with over 2,000 pages of fine print WITHOUT EVER READING IT, let alone understanding it. They lied about the costs of Obamacare. They deliberately circumvented the Congressional Budget Office through procedural trickery, so the true price tag of Obamacare would not be known until long after its passage. Independents will never look at Democrats the same way again after this, and we have repeatedly told you that our final break with the party came on Christmas Eve last year when NOT A SINGLE DEMOCRAT IN THE SENATE stood up to this revolting display of idiocy and hubris. It’s the reason we went all-in for Hottie McAwesome Scott Brown and it’s the reason, quite frankly, why we might just never vote Democrat again for as long as we live. A party stupid enough to circumvent all common sense and public opinion to cram through legislation THEY HAVE NOT EVEN READ does not belong in power.
(2) The surfeit of incompetence Obama has shown in handling the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster, including allowing the Leftists at the EPA to prohibit oil removing foreign vessels to clean up the Gulf because these ships have only a 99% purity rate where the EPA demands a 99.998% purity rate for the ships to operate. The Obama Administration, thus, believes allowing the leaking oil to remain in the water is preferable to accepting international aid to clean the waters of the Gulf because the Obama EPA does not believe the water cleaned by these ships will be “clean enough”. It is absurd. And Americans are noticing. While Obama goes off to play golf, pine over Justin Beiber, entertain Paul McCartney and Beyonce at the White House, and carry on the way he does every day, his administration is doing its level best to make the Obamaspill Disaster as bad as possible for the Gulf States. This is either being down deliberately, by people who want to actually harm the Gulf States, or it’s being done because the Obama Administration is incompetent. It could also, come to think of it, be a combination of the two. Either way, Independents have been driven away from the current “president” in droves…and they aren’t coming back any time soon.
Regarding (2) above, we knew this man was incompetent while he was still a state senator. That’s why we have never supported him. He did nothing in any elected position he ever held, except work to get elected to something either. He has no accomplishments, has never shown any leadership, and is worse than an Edsel because an Edsel largely did what it was supposed to, even if it didn’t exactly meet expectations. This “president”, however, is worse than Jimmy Carter because under all of Carter’s naiveté and incompetence at least Carter did love this country. Not so much with Dr. Utopia. So, that’s where the suspicion always creeps in that he’s Nero fiddling with delight as Rome burns…or the Gulf States that didn’t vote for him in 2008 drown in oil. ”Take that, bitches,” we can honestly imagine this “president” shouting, while rolling on the floor eating strawberries in the Oval Office, using a sharpie to color in the teeth and draw mustaches and obscenities onto pictures of Kal Penn. Is it just our imagination, or has Obama gotten even more thin-skinned, petulant, and terrible at his job since breaking up with his White Castle eating boyfriend?
Sometimes, when listening to the Media in this country, still cheerleading its hardest for Obama, it’s hard for us to determine whether we’ve actually got the vibe of the majority of the country, or whether we’re just paying attention to things more than the average person. But, this “Obama the Edsel” article makes us realize that regular Americans are putting everything together for themselves, despite the Media’s propaganda efforts.
It seems average Americans who did not know Obama before 2008 were willing to give him a pass and a chance because the Media sold him as a Lightbringer who was magical and could solve all problems…and people, for whatever reason, believed them. Americans, at heart, are good trusting people who think the best of everyone unless it’s proved otherwise.
Well, according to the article, it sure looks like Obama has proved things otherwise. His presidency is a failure. He’s providing no leadership. Blaming all of his troubles on George W. Bush or racism is not working. People are noticing and commenting on how much he goofs around.
How much longer before people start calling Obama a Pinto instead of an Edsel?
Someone send up the Bat-signal to Lucianne Goldberg: please find a way to contact Al Gore's accuser and help her get the truth out
Lucianne Goldberg’s tenacity and special brand of magic is needed again, and we’d love all of you who have contact with her to please ask her to help the woman whom Al Gore is accused of sexually assaulting. Someone posted this as a comment in another thread, and we thought it was important enough to put out there as a direct appeal for Lucianne’s involvement.
It takes an enormous amount of guts for a woman to come forward and speak out against any man who did something as awful as what Al Gore’s been accused of. Some people don’t seem to get that. Even if the man is not powerful, the turmoil speaking out brings to a person’s life is enormous. It’s gut-wrenching, since you know you’ll be dragged through the mud by this man as he lashes out and invents anything he can to defend the indefensible.
We find the story that’s come out about what Gore allegedly did to be 100% credible, and not just plausible but probable.
We also believe there’s just no way Gore did this only one time, with this one woman. Who knows how many women are out there that have been attacked by Gore in this way (“Gored” if you want to eponym Gore as a new term for menacing a masseuse in a hotel room with bad chakra).
We want to see everyone out there who was “Gored” to come forward now and speak out against the former Vice President (an apt title in retrospect, isn’t it?).
For these women (and who knows, maybe men, cats, and dogs too) to come forward, they have to feel safe, and know there is a support system in place that will believe them, and keep all the focus on Gore — instead of allowing the Left to attack and destroy the accusers with the Alinsky Handbook (as they are want to do). Remember: Al Gore is a saint of the Left, and the pope of the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming. He is beyond reproach to millions of lunatics drunk on Leftist Kool-Aid. The Left gleefully attacks women every day, in the most misogynistic and sexist ways. So, it must be a terrifying prospect to consider coming forward against Al Gore, when there’s a very real possibility the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and other Leftist troll operations will declare a personal war upon you.
We agree with the commenter who suggested Lucianne Golberg might be able to play a role in this — by marshaling her forces to be a sort of umbrella against these Leftist attacks, and allow the truth to come out. If these women are lying, then they should be held accountable for making things up. If they are telling the truth, then Al Gore needs to go to prison so that he can no longer harm any more women.
The difference between Al Gore and Tiger Woods is that we’re not aware of any of Woods’ sexual antics being nonconsensual. It appears there’s at least one — but we believe loads more — instance of Al Gore involved in a nonconsensual sexual situation, where he leveraged his status, wealth, and corpulence to have his way with a woman against her will.
That’s a crime, and cult leader or not, Gore needs to answer for it.
We hope with all our hearts Lucianne Goldberg finds some way to get involved in this, even if it’s behind the scenes, to be an angel when we all need her to be…an agent of truth and good who will help all the facts come to light so that the world can see Al Gore for who he truly is, one way or the other.
Andrew Breitbart is an American hero. How can we help him expose the Media as the Democrat operatives that they are?
June has been an incredibly busy and challenging month for us around here. Busy is a very good thing in this economy, but it’s meant we have not had the time to get to as many things as we’d like to on a political and national level. So, we’re happy Andrew Breitbart is out there providing leadership — and marvelous new ideas on how to take down the Left and sever the connections between the DNC and American media.
Today, we need you to find out as much information as you can on the Journolist scandal that Breitbart has drawn attention to. ”Journolist” was an email message system of some kind that reporters were using to coordinate their political strategies, in order to help Democrats. This all broke because a member of Journolist exposed some of its content in order to embarrass a Washington Post reporter.
But, there’s much, much more going on here.
There’s proof, apparently, in the Journolist archives that reporters in the national media conspire together to lob false and baseless accusations of racism at people who oppose what the Democrat Party is doing to this country.
This is what we have been telling you for two years that the Media has been doing, under direction from the DNC and the Obama administration (starting with his presidential campaign). If you oppose these people, you are branded a racist, and the Media assists in any way it can to destroy you. Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and other Soros-funded endeavors then pick up the Media’s lead on the astroturf level to menace, harass, and attack whomever is on Obama’s hit list.
It sure feels like Journolist could prove all of this once and for all, and could be a sizable blow to the national Media.
Taking down the Media and discrediting it is one of the key paths towards defeating Obama in 2012. Without his Media cheerleaders in place, we don’t see how he can win re-election. Since the Media is controlled by the DNC and is a de facto arm of the Democrat Party, and the Democrat Party is now controlled by the Left, taking down the Left starts with showing the American people that what they see on TV and read in newspapers is just propaganda manufactured by this administration, no different than what passes as “journalism” and “news” in banana republics and other petty dictatorships.
Americans, in their hearts, have always known the Left controls the Media. This reminds us of wives who know in their hearts their husbands are cheating and are up to no good, but their personal situations prevent them from calling their husbands out on it. Maybe they don’t have jobs of their own, or are too deep in debt, or have wailing kids they have to look after. Maybe they just don’t want to be single moms, or be left all alone. So they ignore all the signs pointing to their husbands cheating on them, or doing whatever it is bad they are doing. They remain willfully and blissfully ignorant to what’s really going on, because they just don’t know what to do if they’d face up to reality and deal head-on with what’s been going on all these years.
What will the American people do if they finally confront the reality that the American Media, for all these years, was really just a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, and the Democrat Party has really always been a front for the Marxist Left?
It’s like choosing between the red and blue pills in the Matrix.
There’s no going back, and the reality you’ll potentially face will be unpleasant, to say the least.
That’s where we are now with all of this. Some nights, we honestly all lie in bed, awake, unable to sleep, horrified at what the Left is doing to this country — frustrated because we don’t know how to make Americans see the truth behind all of the administration’s lies, and realize the Media is working against the best interests of this country while in service to the Left and the Obama regime. It’s frightening because this is the sort of thing the Soviet Union was known for, and it’s what happened in Iraq, Cuba, Venezuela, China, and other terrible places in the world. America is supposed to be better than this. America is not supposed to have a Goebbels-grade propaganda ministry. Americans are not supposed to be lied to every day by their government, and the people on public airwaves delivering what is supposed to be the news.
Major reform needs to happen at all journalism schools across the country. The entire MSNBC network needs to be removed from the air. The New York Times needs to be shuttered. The taint of corruption and propaganda is so great that the entire Media structure we have now needs to be dismantled and rebuilt somehow, in a way that produces a free and unbiased press that will give Americans the facts, and nothing but, going forward.
This is, clearly, so massive an undertaking that we just don’t know where to begin. It’s a problem larger than any of us, and it’s stomach-turning in its scope because thinking about all the effort that goes into spreading the regime’s lies makes you realize just how deeply the Marxist Left has infiltrated this country. It’s like being told your house is filled with bugs behind the walls: millions of insects, of all shapes and sizes, crawling, slithering, and worming around behind the plaster just out of sight. Once you’re aware they’re there, you can almost see the walls breathing with their movements…and good luck getting to sleep wondering what they are up to, what they are going to do next, and where they’ll all be tomorrow.
It’s a disgusting thought, and it’s just as creepy for us to think about everything we see in the papers and hear on TV being purposefully designed by “journalists” to advance the Left at the expense of America’s best interests.
THAT’S what the Journolist archives could very well prove once and for all — that the “journalists” in this country coordinate their articles to serve a greater purpose, and that is to proselytize for the cult of Liberalism. It’s a “Soylent Green is people” moment of horror, because this means that EVERYTHING you have been reading in the national media, EVERYTHING you have seen on TV, was more likely than not written by someone who took orders from this Journolist group…with the driving message being written at the DNC…as conceived by someone in the Left, who could very well be an anti-American lunatic like William Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Jeremiah Wright, or any number of the unsavories Obama and his ilk deem as prophets of Liberalism’s radical cult.
Exposing “journalists” as the Left’s activist operatives should be mission critical for all of us.
If the Media loses all credibility with the public, and the public wakes up to the fact that it’s been lied to all these years by papers and news networks that have claimed to be unbiased and serving the public good, then there will be hell to pay for all involved. It should start with the immediate firing of all “journalists” involved with the Journalist content coordination scheme — anyone who followed the Journolist ordered, and tailored their pieces to drive Democrats’ agendas does not belong as a news reporter. The papers and networks that employ these people should face congressional investigations in the next Congress, for employing operatives of the Democrat Party in positions where they portrayed themselves as unbiased observers.
Every last disgusting little bug in the wall needs to be rooted out and dragged out into the light of day for the American public to see clearly for the first time in its true form.
The institution of “journalism” needs to be so shamed by this that it’s forced to start self-policing and reevaluating how it conducts itself.
Andrew Breitbart has set something in motion that has the potential to bring down the Left.
We all need to help him…and that starts with brainstorming just HOW to do that.
Update on Obama operative David "Popcorn" Kernell's sentencing and appeal process
We have it on our calendar to check on the status of David “Popcorn” Kernell’s sentencing and appeal process today. It’s been more than a month since the Media wrote a story on him, with the last mention of Kernell that we could find being on May 27, 2010 — when it was still up in the air when he’d be sentenced. The presiding judge postponed sentencing while prosecutors determined whether or not they would retry Kernell on the charge of identity theft, which the jury deadlocked on, resulting in a mistrial on that count.
Since the Media’s not going to report on the status of this Obama operative’s sentencing, we thought it would be interesting to see what all of you out there can come up with today. We bet if we all sleuthed this out, we could figure out what Kernell’s status is, and what sentencing timetable the presiding judge has in place. We do not believe this judge has the discretion to indefinitely postpone Kernell’s sentencing…and it doesn’t seem like prosecutors would have forever to decide whether they were going to retry Kernell for identity theft.
Since it’s been more than a month now since any news broke on all of this, maybe we all need to place some calls to people in Tennessee to get an update on this.
Any ideas on how to track down this information?
Al Gore proves The National Enquirer is the most reputable journalism this country produces these days
Keep following The National Enquirer’s reporting on Al Gore’s attempted rape of a masseuse a few years ago, because it’s a story that’s got legs.
A few interesting things are happening, all at once, to brew a perfect storm against the Media in this country — a storm that seems destined to wake Americans up to the fact that “journalists” in this country are nothing more than operatives of the Democrat Party, protecting Democrats at all cost and sitting on stories they know will hurt the Democrat Party.
The National Enquirer proved this point with the John Edwards story it ran — a story the rest of the Media also knew about, but didn’t report on because the Media wanted Edwards to weaken Hillary Clinton’s chances in the 2008 primaries so that Obama could be president (and “journalists” could have “the historic and unprecedented first black president” they all dreamed about since their days in liberal journalism schools). The Enquirer reported on it, and exposed the fact that Edwards misappropriate campaign funds to conceal the affair and take care of his mistress and love child. The Media laughed at this, until Edwards owned up to everything the Enquirer said…which should have won the Enquirer a Pulitzer.
Do you see a pattern emerging when you think about Democrat scandals through the years?
They always break in something like The National Enquirer, are denied vehemently by not only those involved but the Democrat-protecting Media as well, and are ultimately proven true once the Enquirer has simply built up too much of a buzz at the supermarket checkout lines for the Media to carry any more water for Democrats off whatever leaking ship they’ve found themselves on this time.
Al Gore seems to have been protected by the Media the way Tiger Woods was protected for so many years, but for a different reason.
Woods was the Media’s darling because he was a part-black man who was good at golf, and that was a wonderful novelty. His multi-racial genetic profile was downplayed, and for all intents and purposes the Media sold Woods as “the historic and unprecedented first big time black golfer”. It was the narrative the Media wanted to tell, so they could herald Woods as a barrier-breaking champion…and lavish praise upon him as a favorite pet. It’s much the same thing the Media does with Obama as “president”. He’s a biracial man, but his white heritage is ignored so the Media can have its “historic and unprecedented first black president”. Facts be damned. Woods’ sex addiction, reckless behavior, and depravities were well-known and completely ignored by the Media, until The National Enquirer outed him and exposed everything. The Media’s done its level best to protect Woods and rebuild him, but it’s just not working. The jig is up for Tiger, and the Media can’t save one of its favorite pets. This is a foreshadowing of what’s going to happen to Obama, too, though we’ll all have to wait a few years for it, the way we had to wait this long for Woods to be exposed and knocked off the Media’s pedestal.
Gore was protected by the Media not because he was its pet, but because Global Warming Alarmism and the Cult of Anthropogenic Climate Change were the Media’s pet projects in the last decade. Gore, as the high priest of the AGW cult, had to be above reproach. As a former Democrat Vice President and almost-president in 2000, Gore was an elder statesman of the Democrat Party, and exposing anything bad about him would not just hurt Democrats (whom “journalists” serve), but would also harm the Media’s pet project of climate change alarmism. The whole “sky is falling” bit the Media’s been running would collapse if its star Chicken Little, Gore, was revealed to be a “sex crazed poodle”, as his accuser dubbed him. Therefore, the Media did everything it could to keep this story from getting out.
We 100% believe the masseuse who’s made these accusations against Al Gore, and truly hope Gore ends up in prison at some point in the future — though we don’t think it’s going to be for this assault. Here’s what we think is going on behind the scenes, and where things could end up for the Pope of Anthropogenic Global Warming:
(1) The Gores’ divorce was just bizarre. After all these years of marriage, and after being the Second Lady of the United States, it just didn’t make any sense at all for Tipper Gore to divorce her husband, because being the wife of a former Vice President must entail a great many perks…let alone being the wife of a Pope, whose cult and cult-related business ventures must keep her in a marvelous lifestyle. With all that money, and Gore on the road selling his snake oil while collecting carbon credit indulgences from fools worldwide, why would Tipper divorce a man she barely saw as it was? The Gores lived in palaces with nine or ten bedrooms. They stayed at the best hotels in the most cosmopolitan cities. Tipper had almost completely fallen off the radar and was up to whatever it was she did all day, wherever she wanted to do it, with no scrutiny and all the perks associated with Gore’s post-vice presidency and ongoing cult papacy. Why rock the boat? Why get divorced? Unless Tipper saw a major scandal brewing and wanted out before the carbon credits hit the fan.
(2) Does Tipper’s divorce filing protect her in some way from the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming’s collapse? Does the divorce insulate her from inconvenient truths barreling down, with hurricane-force, on the horizon? It feels like this divorce is very much a business move on Tipper’s part. It does not make sense otherwise. Whatever affections the Gores had for each other were alienated years ago. Remember that kiss during the 2000 campaign? That was so awkward and forced to the point of being unnatural and alien for the two of them. If things were estranged for them a decade ago, and somehow Tipper’s managed to carry on for the last ten years being married to the almost-president and AGW pope, then why has she suddenly wanted a divorce? Why now? We think she knows The National Enquirer is going to bring her husband down, and when he goes down, the AGW cult will collapse with him, so she wants out while she can get as much money as possible before it’s all seized or blows away.
(3) If you read the Enquirer’s reporting, it’s said many times that the masseuse involved did not report Gore’s sexual assault upon her because her friends, all Leftists, told her that this would hurt the Global Warming cause. These friends of hers recognized that Gore was the AGW cult’s pope, and that exposing him as a “sex crazed poodle” would bring the cult down. This is the same reason the Media will not report on Obama being gay or going to the bathhouse at Man’s Country in Andersonville to meet men for anonymous sex. Anything that will damage the figurehead of a cult damages the cult itself, and damages Liberalism itself. Self-described “liberals” repeatedly say it is better to keep these secrets or fall on their swords than endanger Liberalism by allowing the truth to get out about the cult’s figure heads. This is similar to the way Scientologists protect Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and other figureheads of that cult. Goon squads have been dispatched by Scientology to menace Cruise and Travolta’s enemies, or harass studio executives and others in Hollywood who were seen as standing in the way of their careers (and, by extension, the betterment of Scientology). Leftists are a goon squad that protects Democrats at all cost, because Democrats see to it that billions in taxpayer dollars are funneled into loony, fringe causes the cult of Liberalism endorses. So, Democrats like
Obama and Gore must be protected at all costs, lest Liberals at large suffer and the Left is weakened.
(4) The timing on the part of The National Enquirer is impeccable on all of this, as we imagine they’ve been sitting on this story for a while. Just think about this big picture. The Enquirer sees that Obama is now pushing the Cap & Tax bill, which will cripple the US economy, by trying to use the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster to ram this legislation through. The Enquirer makes its money off supermarket checkout sales, where it’s an impulse, extravagance buy. We imagine subscribers and purchasers of The National Enquirer are those who are barely making ends meet these days as it is, but who manage to find that extra $4.00 at the supermarket checkout to buy an Enquirer for its entertaining “stories”. Maybe these people are sacrificing candy bars or soda pop to buy that Enquirer, but they don’t mind because it’s an indulgence they enjoy. But, what happens when Cap & Tax makes grocery prices jump, because the shipping companies are stuck with higher fuel costs, the grocery stores are hit with higher energy costs, and the famers growing all that food pass their own added expenses down the line onto consumers? Suddenly, supermarket customers find themselves with an enormous increase in what it costs to buy their essential items, and little will be left for indulgences like The National Enquirer. Self-preservation always wins out for any company that wants to stay in business. If the Enquirer editors are smart — and we know they are — then they saw the writing on the wall and knew that Cap & Tax would hurt their bottom line in a big way. What better way to stop Cap & Tax then to take down the Cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming’s pope, expose and discredit him, and collapse the cult he built around himself?
Nothing is coincidental or happenstance with these Enquirer stories.
Though the national Media scoffs at the Enquirer, and ridicules the Enquirer’s readership, just think about what a big impact seeing headlines and covers like the image at the top of this post has on people shopping in supermarkets. It builds a buzz. That buzz carries through a community and grows at church functions, PTA meetings, soccer games, and any number of places that people gather and need something to small-talk about. ”Oh, did you see that Al Gore tried to rape some woman in a hotel? I always knew that Global Warming crap was just horse pucky. That mad is a sex crazed poodle and he deserves what he gets. Good for Tipper for divorcing him. He belongs in jail, same with all those Global Warming scammers. What’s a carbon credit anyway? Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me”.
There sure are a lot of picnics, church bazaars, street festivals, family reunions, barbeques, and other social gatherings in the summer time where Al Gore’s antics will get a lot of discussion in circles the liberal journalists might scorn and scoff at…but these people are largely independent voters, and a great deal of them are probably in the South…which is the first region of the country that will be impacted by the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster. Democrats might never lose their grip on the urban elites and those in the university towns across the country, but if Democrats lose too many of the independents…people who read The National Enquirer in the checkout lines…then Democrats and their Leftists agenda are TOAST.
What a bizarre world we live in.
A former Vice President accused of attempted rape.
A government in Washington hellbent on crippling the nation’s economy and making basic things like groceries unaffordable to most Americans.
The National Enquirer serving as the last bastion of actual journalism we have.
Strange times indeed.
Wednesday Open Thread: June 30th, 2010
What’s on your minds this Wednesday?
What are people talking about in your part of the country?
QUESTION: Could Obama appoint himself to replace Justice Ginsburg on the SCOTUS in 2011 or so?
Elena Kagan is coming across as vapid and mediocre as the current president himself.
Could Obama follow Kagan onto the SCOTUS, becoming the "historic and unprecedented first black US president to escape electoral defeat by appointing himself to the SCOTUS"?
There’s a scene near the end of Working Girl with Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford in an elevator that reminds us a lot of how we think most of the time. When asked how she figured out the big picture strategy behind a large multimedia deal, Griffith’s secretary character says she spotted a picture of a society wedding on one page of the paper, then caught a blurb about a radio personality in another section, and got to thinking about a marriage between said shock jock and the business interests of the before-mentioned bride’s father. It all made sense to Griffith, in a big picture way, and she saw lines drawn between the items that didn’t make sense to anyone else, until she connected some dots on her own.
Drudge Report has been running the absolute worst photos it can seemingly find of Elena Kagan — where she’s laughing, making strange faces, and largely coming across as an ass. That’s how she’s actually behaving during her SCOTUS confirmation hearings, where she’s vapid and dodgy whenever she’s not flat-out lying about her positions and previously recorded opinions. Then, there’s the simple fact that she’s not being truthful about the fact she’s a lesbian…and we believe she’s deliberately doing this so that she can come out of the closet to great fanfare after she is confirmed to the SCOTUS, where she can become “the historic and unprecedented first openly gay SCOTUS Justice”.
The Obama presidency is all about being “historic and unprecedented”, whenever it’s not being childish and assy. One of our favorite photos of the current “president” that Drudge has ever run is the above, where he’s devouring a strawberry like no straight man we’ve ever seen before. The same self-indulgent, arrogant vibe comes off both Kagan and Obama, in addition to the feeling they’re both hiding their true orientation from the public for political and strategic reasons. While Kagan will come out in 2011, we believe, probably before the next June Pride so she can bask in all the glory of being the first gay Justice, we doubt Obama will ever come out — but will instead be outed a la Rock Hudson years in the future shortly after he leaves the mortal coil (and, according to his cultists, is delivered unto Olympus in a cloud pulled by angels to take his rightful place amongst the gods).
For some reason, seeing those two photos together gave us an idea we’d like your opinion on: do you think it’s possible that Obama will appoint himself to the SCOTUS when Justice Ginsburg retires in 2011…to give him an out so that he does not have to run for re-election?
We’ve been struggling with the fact that Obama’s ego is so massive that we cannot conceive of him ever entering into a race he knows he cannot win. He has always done everything he can to eliminate his competition and stack the deck in his favor. When he ran for the state senate in Illinois in the 90s, he had his opponents on the ballot, like Alice Palmer, tossed out on a petition signature technicality. When he ran for the US Senate from Illinois in 2004, his campaign pushed the Jack Ryan sex scandal that took down Ryan before election day, handing him a win in a cake walk. During the 2008 primaries, Obama used voter fraud, intimidation, the race card, and other tricks to bring down Hillary Clinton’s campaign for the nomination. In the general election, Obama benefitted from a mysterious, George Soros-induced September financial crisis that cinched a win for him, after stacking the deck for himself with the help of nonstop cheerleading from the American media (and, of course, massive use of the race card again).
We can’t see how any of his 2008 tricks work for him again in 2012. He’ll have the Media at his disposal, but we have hope people like Andrew Breitbart are proving to the American people what a tool of the Democrat Party the Media is (keep following the Journolist story that Breitbart is pushing). His race card has been exhausted, however, and we doubt many people can be bullied into voting for him again just to prove how not racist they are. Unemployment will remain high, the taxes and other disasters associated with Obamacare will be piling up, and the Obamaspill Gulf Disaster will still be underscoring this administration’s incompetence two years from now.
If Obama’s never entered into a fight without massive advantages before, why would he run for re-election if he thinks he’ll lose? It’s just so out of character for him. BUT, it would also be out of character for someone with this massive of an ego to simply walk away and retire like LBJ. So, what’s a narcissist like this to do?
Appointing himself to the SCOTUS seems like it would be an ideal solution for him, for the following reasons:
(1) Obama has always used his current job to land himself into his next one, so it fits that pattern to use the presidency to install himself on the SCOTUS.
(2) Seeing all of his tricks have been exhausted, Obama as a showman knows it’s time to get off the stage before he’s revealed as the fraud he must know himself to be. Securing a permanent, lifetime position would thus be ideal for him, as he’d get to maintain a national spotlight for the rest of his days by wearing a robe on the SCOTUS. Kagan’s appointment, after having zero experience on the bench, is a nice setup for him to appoint himself to the SCOTUS, since he also had zero judicial experience. It feels like she’s serving this purpose, since there were much more qualified and better candidates he could have put forward to replace Justice Stevens…so why Kagan unless there’s more to this than some realize.
(3) If Obama’s secondary goal, aside from self-aggrandizement, has always been to push the far Left’s agenda, then what better place for him to do that than on the SCOTUS, where he would become the most Leftists jurist this nation has seen in some time? Obama clearly believes SCOTUS Justices write the laws, not just interpret them. He has no intention of ever protecting and defending the Constitution as he swore to do in 2009. The SCOTUS would be a perch from which he could wax on and on about how evil and terrible America is from the Leftist perspective for decades.
(4) Obama sees what an abject, pathetic failure Jimmy Carter is, and how his failed presidency was followed be a post-presidency in which his derangement became painfully obvious as Carter was proven to be an anti-semitic loon. His Habit for Humanity accolades and the other post-presidential honors don’t make up for the fact Carter remains a joke. As Obama comes to grips with the fact his own presidency has failed, it seems his nature to seek a second act that takes the spotlight off this disaster. Having a whole new career as a SCOTUS jurist would do this.
(5) More than any other reason above, we think Obama would relish the leg-tingling Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and all of his cultists would have as they pushed for him to be installed on the SCOTUS. They’d be enthralled with the “historic and unprecedented” nature of the move, with a sitting US president leaving office not in disgrace like Nixon, but in glory as the newest SCOTUS Justice…and only the third black male to serve in the position. Once Clarence Thomas is gone, that would leave Obama as the only black SCOTUS member, assuming Justice Kennedy’s replacement in 2012-2013 or so isn’t someone like Ann Claire Williams (and we hope it is, because a black female Justice would then overshadow Obama, even in his own mind, which is why Williams was not chosen to replace Stevens).
This would, of course, briefly leave us with a President Biden…and maybe a Vice President Hillary Clinton. Which would set Clinton up nicely for a 2012 run for the presidency of her own.
That’s where this Obama self-appointment to the SCOTUS idea comes off the rails a bit, because it would mean he’d have to leave the White House to take up a position on the Court. But, maybe Justice Ginsburg is being convinced not to retire in 2011 as expected, but wait until 2012 to do so…which would mean Obama would then just leave the White House a little early, the way he’s left every other elected position he’s had, to take a new job that he’s sought. He’d leave the Democrat Party in disarray if it planned on running him for the presidency in 2012, but that seems to be of no concern to him. Obama is a Leftist at heart, not a Democrat, and he could care less about the party he ruined to win his prize in 2008. It’s not about what’s best for his party, or his country, but what will get him what his heart desires at that particular moment in time.
So, this is all something very interesting to think about, in a Working Girl, connect the dots and speculate in an elevator sort of way.
Could any of this happen?
Is this the out Obama’s looking for to be able to avoid electoral defeat in 2012?
What think you?
