HillBuzz Overnight Open Thread: September 9th, 2011
H/t Seapea for a great image of Governor Palin in the “American Artemis” theme
I hope we’ll see a lot of Alaskan wildlife in the Governor’s campaign branding because the images are powerful, interesting, and instantly conjure the tenacity and strategic determination the Governor’s evidenced in a lifetime of hunting her prey…both in the woods, and in the political arena.
What’s the most interesting thing you read about today?
What are people in your part of the country saying about Governor Palin’s presidential run?
What are some things that YOU are doing to impact the 2012 campaign using YOUR own talents the way wonderful artists like Seapea are doing?
Fast and Furious and our Department of Obstructing Justice.
Mr. Honesty himself
Fast and Furious weapons were found at yet another violent crime scene…this time in the US.
(CBS) Arizona state police revealed yesterday that two guns from Fast and Furious were found in an arrest involving two Mexican men who assaulted detectives outside Phoenix in 2010. Nobody was seriously hurt.
Fast and furious is the operation in which ATF allowed thousands of weapons to “walk” into the hands of suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels.
It’s unclear why the year-old case and its link to Fast and Furious were revealed now, with the apparent blessing of ATF headquarters.
News of this case set off a wave of confusion among Congressional investigators who have tried unsuccessfully to identify additional violent crimes in the U.S. linked to which Fast and Furious. They say the Justice Department still hasn’t told them about the 2010 Phoenix case, despite their ongoing written requests for such information
These guns are going to continue to pop up all over Mexico and the Southwest US because there are still at least a thousand or so assault weapons unaccounted for and NO ONE in the DOJ is talking. Suddenly the ATF is admitting that this last episode in Arizona did involve F&F weapons. Why would they suddenly be open about that piece of information? Perhaps Rep. Issa and Sen. Grassley are getting perilously close to opening Pandora’s box and the ATF wants to be on the right side of the fence when the whole story breaks? Maybe an official in the ATF will be offered immunity if they fork over info implicating high ranking officials within the Justice Department? Would the ATF do that if they are a branch of the DOJ?
Can someone answer these questions for me……
Isn’t it obstruction of justice to withhold information about a crime?
Wouldn’t you or I go to jail if we withheld information from investigators?
Why isn’t Eric Holder in jail?
In the words of Sir Walter Scott….
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
Next time someone says Governor Palin is polarizing…tell him, no, she’s the POLAR OPPOSITE OF OBAMA.
It just occurred to me today that the next time someone tells you “Sarah Palin can’t win because she’s too polarizing!” you should look that person in the eyes, wink, and say, “No, Sarah Palin is the POLAR OPPOSITE OF OBAMA and that’s exactly why she’ll win, you betcha!”.
The “you betcha” always rattles these people, and it’s so fun to say.
But, in all seriousness, the Governor is indeed the polar opposite of Obama.
And, as I’ve been writing about for three and a half years now on this site, “polarizing” is a codeword for “bitch” that the Left uses to malign, berate, and ostracize female politicians who won’t shut up and go away when told.
“Bitch”, in my world, is not a pejorative in this context — it’s a prerequisite for ever getting anything done in politics, which is dominated by the old-boys-network of the permanent political class on both sides of the aisle.
I love the designs over at Essex & Orange that celebrate being “polarizing” Alaska-style, where polls indeed start rising when voters believe a candidate for office will actually do what she says, not back down, and be the POLAR OPPOSITE of the arrogant and incompetent people who got us into the nation’s financial mess to begin with.
“You say bitch like it’s a bad thing”.
“You say I’m polarizing, well I must be doing something right then”.
“You want to see polls a-rising? Keep being the Polar Opposite of Obama and you’ll do just fine!”
“You betcha!”

Then, don’t forget, no more dessert for you, because Michelle Antoinette Obama has told you not to have dessert.
Oh, no!
And no burgers for you, ever.
Oh, no!
No ribs, no big juicy steaks, no lobsters drowned in butter.
Oh, no, no, no!
Not for you!
But, for Michelle and Barack?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
No?
Three Reasons Hillary Clinton Will Never Be Barack Obama’s VP in 2012 — and an Implication for President Palin in 2016
HillBuzz.org was originally conceived as a Hillary Clinton 2008 presidential campaign supporters’ site. Though our focus has shifted since then, and everyone involved with HB has left the Democrat Party for good at this point, HillBuzz Founder and Editor-in-Chief Kevin DuJan still follows Hillary Clinton’s career with great interest and appreciates her serving the country as the sole grown up in the entire Obama administration. Here’s Kevin’s Top Three Reasons Hillary Clinton Will Never Be Barack Obama’s VP in 2012 (So Stop Fantasizing About It):
Repulsive Rapper Rant
such a fine upstanding citizen
I am not a big fan of rappers. I’m sure that some are ok….underneath the vile lyrics, bling and thuggery that makes up the rap world but more often than not….they are worthless pieces of trash. One such piece of trash is “Soulja Boy”. This little boil on the butt of humanity put out a “song” (I hate to even call it a song) that has a line in it that says “f**k the Army troops”. I was going to add the YouTube video of the song but the language is so bad that just I couldn’t do it. Here’s the first few lines of the song that contain the offensive lyrics….
Jumpin’ Off Da Roof
God D***n Wheres My Parachute
Pretty Boy Goons
All We Know Is Money & Da Loot
40 On My Troop
80 Drop Top Im On Da Loose
F**k Da F.B.I. & F**k All Da Army Troop
Fightin’ For What B**ch Be Yo Own Man
Why do kids like this garbage? Why do people put money into the pockets of creatures like this? I’ll never understand it. This moron should be dropped into the middle of Afghanistan with no food or water and let’s see how he does. You can bet that the only people who will come to his rescue are OUR TROOPS.
Below is a video of a little rap piece made by ”Alexanderreason” in response to Soulja’s song…and in defense of our troops….

There’s been a rather large backlash from the community…especially from the military community…against the rapper and, of course, on Tuesday he issued an apology (doesn’t want a little thing like this to hurt the sales of his CD…he needs the millions to continue his thug lifestyle). It’s so pathetic. This little scumbag will continue to earn a ton of money for putting out disgusting material while so many families struggle to survive in this Obama economy.
Speaking of “The One”…
Soulja Boy is an Obama supporter.
What a surprise.
Was Jon Huntsman promised he’d be the next Secretary of State if Obama wins re-election because of Huntsman’s planned independent, spoiler candidacy?
It sure seems like Jon Huntsman has been promised he’d be the next Secretary of State if Obama wins re-election in 2012.
Huntsman bragged extensively during Wednesday’s GOP debate at the Reagan Library that he’s been an ambassador three times and has loved every minute of living overseas, especially enjoying his time in China since he is fluent in Mandarin (and, I assume, so fond of orange chicken he’s become a cautionary tale irrefutably proving the “you are what you eat” adage, considering his Charlie Crist inspired tan).
Why would Huntsman surrender a cushy job he loved in a country he greatly admires just to run in the Republican presidential primaries when he knows he has no chance of becoming the GOP’s standard bearer?
Hmmmm.
Why is Huntsman’s family curiously involved in strategic financial planning that sure seems like their billions will be used to fund a vainglorious, Ross Perot inspired independent run for the White House once Huntsman is dismissed from the Republican nominating race?
Hmmmm.
With the Cocktail Party GOP establishment’s bid to install the man I non-affectionately call “Mittens Romneycare” as the Republican nominee (because “it’s his turn”, and so many Cocktail Party regulars are depending on Romney’s nomination for campaign jobs) becoming ever more Quixotic with the entry of Governor Rick Perry in the race (not to mention Governor Sarah Palin’s, as of this writing still unannounced, candidacy), what’s the Left’s “Plan B” to divide the Republican vote and allow Obama a chance to squeak by with the slimmest of winning margins should Mittens Romneycare not indeed by the 2012 nominee after all?
Hmmmmm.
Since Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has repeatedly announced she will not serve in a hypothetical second Obama administration and is leaving Foggy Bottom in 2013 regardless of who wins the presidency, who will Obama make the next top diplomat if he’s able to make that appointment?
Hmmmmm.
Let’s add up all of the Hmmmms above (with a side order of Mmmmm for the previously mentioned orange chicken), shall we?
* Huntsman loves being a diplomat
* Huntsman has been an Ambassador three times now, but has not had a more prestigious title
* Super rich people like Huntsman love prestigious things that no amount of money can buy
* There are hundreds of ambassadors, but only one Secretary of State
* Huntsman needs national name recognition to ever be appointed Secretary of State
* There will be a Secretary of State opening in 2013 if Obama wins a second term, once Hillary Clinton leaves to start planning her 2016 presidential run
* Huntsman is getting national name recognition by competing (even half-heartedly) in the GOP’s nominating contest
* Huntsman has billions of dollars to burn for something he’s long coveted
* Democrats love people who claim to be conservative who attack other conservatives and try to convince Americans that Republicans should be Democrat-lite
* Democrats ADORE, to this day, Ross Perot for being the spoiler in the 2012 race, which allowed Bill Clinton to squeak through to a win
* Ross Perot was a billionaire, just like Huntsman, but with more charts and graphs and considerably less orange
Do you think the real reason Jon Huntsman is doing what he is doing because the White House has promised him he’d be Hillary Clinton’s replacement in 2013 if Huntsman would run as a spoiler in the upcoming election to split the Republican vote to give Obama his only chance at a squeaker win?
Do you think the Left would REALLY just give up and let Obama lose without pulling a stunt like this, or promising a Cabinet post to a man who’d guarantee Obama won?
Quick before they start deleting them — read the comments on this article about Wednesday’s debate and tell me if you also think it’s incredibly unusual for a candidate who as 0% support in the Republican nomination contest to have what seems like well-paid astroturfers promoting him all over the Internet
Chime in on this theory, because it’s starting to make the rounds and I’d love your take on it
