David Shuster, slimy liberal "news" reporter, stunt backfires

MSNBC Propagandist David Shuster tried to ambush a conservative member of Congress. The Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee, was on "Tucker" to discuss the Moveon.org General Petraeus/Betray Us NY Times Ad. In the middle of the interview, he suddenly decided to go for the jugular and attack her by using dead soldier as his weapon.

“You represent a district in western Tennessee”, Shuster snarled. “What was the name of the last soldier from your district who was killed in Iraq?”

She didn't know the name of that soldier. So Shuster replied.

“Ok, his name was Jeremy Bohannon. He was killed August the ninth, 2007. How come you didn’t know the name?”

One problem, that soldier was from the neighboring district represented by John Tanner, a Democrat.

OOOOOOOOPSSSS!!!

Shuster issued an apology the next day on the show for providing the wrong name. Now Shuster may have a point, Rep. Blackburn probably should have known that name. But considering all the things that members of Congress has on their plate, that fact that shouldn't remember it of the top of her head, isn't that surprising.

I have a proposal for Shuster, I want you to ask every Democrat he interviews for the next few weeks and see if they know.

I bet they don't.

Tennie Pierce and the coward who run LA City Hall

It appears the Tennie Pierce "racial discrimination" case is NOT going to trial. The short version of this case is that a Black LA firefighter is claiming "racial discrimination" because some of the firefighters fed him some dog food with his spaghetti. This sounds horrible at first, but during a fireman's volleyball game he screamed "feed the big dog" during the match as he spiked the ball against the other team. For more info see these links here and here and here. Pierce wall a prankster to several other firefighters himself.

The bottom line is that the private law firm hired to try the case reported to the City Council that the firm was worried about "Downtown Juries" which is PC speak for black juries. The private law firm was worries that they would outright lose the case out due to racial solidarity between "Downtown Juries" and Pierce, just like the OJ case. In other words, they figure the black juries would ignore the evidence and pay Pierce since both were black.

So the linguine spined members of the City Council agreed to a settlement with Pierce for $1.5 million and the settlement was approved by Mayor Tony Villar. In addition they would pay the outside law firm $1.2 million for their "services" since the City Council has lost firm with the City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. The settlement was negotiated by one of the members of the City Council.

A few questions.....
Why not move the trial to the Valley? and avoid "Downtown Juries"?
Why not admit that Black Juries are irrational and ignore facts?
Why not go to trial an embarrass Pierce and have his justify his hazing of others?
Why hire the outside law firm if a City Council member negotiates the settlement?
What happen to Tony Villars $1 million limit?

Liberal Hypocrisy and the aquisition of power

Yesterday, Columbia hosted Iranian President Mahmoud Ah-MAD-dinejad as part of their World Leaders Forums. This appearance by the fanatical and delusional leader of Iran was widely criticized. Columbia President Lee Bollinger defended the appearance by promising "sharp challenges" to the Iranian President. Bollinger kept his promise by introducing Ah-MAD-dinejad himself with a a series of pointed questions which included questions about, academic crackdowns, women's rights, denial of the holocaust, Iran's nuclear ambitions, the destruction of Israel, funding terrorism, and fighting a proxy war with America. Ah-MAD-dinejad responding by accusing Bollinger of a "wave of insults and allegations" and avoiding any direct answers to any questions.

So what did the forum accomplish? I was a propaganda coup for Ah-MAD-dinejad in the Arab press. As usual, the Arab press lied about the Forums response and said Ah-MAD-dinejad received a "standing ovation of the audience that had attended the hall where the Iranian President was to give his lecture."

It also exposed the hypocritical nature and thought process of liberal academia. Academia understand the worldwide threat that Islamo-Fascism poses to the world. They understand the ramifications of a nuclear Islamic state and the threat it poses to this country. Yet, Academia, Hollywood, the Drive-By-Media, and the extreme left politicians in Congress view President Bush as the bigger threat.

This proves that the acquisition of power is more important to the Liberal in Congress than the security of the United States.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Columbia University: Ahmadinejad Yes, ROTC No

So the President of Iran has been invited to a question and answer forum at Columbia University and he will be questioned with "sharp challenges" from University President Bollinger. This is the same University President who opposed ROTC training on campus, even though a majority of students supported reinstating ROTC on campus. The main objection to the military on campus is the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy regard gays in the military.

But in Iran, under Sharia law, homosexuality is a crime punishable by death. So I guess the military need to change the policy, " Do Tell, Do Die," and it will be ok in the Ivy League.

Canadian Parliment Member travelled to the California for cancer treatment

So much for the much ballyhoo'd free Canadian Heathcare system. From CTV.ca:

Liberal MP Belinda Stronach, who is battling breast cancer, travelled to California last June for an operation that was recommended as part of her treatment, says a report.

Stronach's spokesman, Greg MacEachern, told the Toronto Star that the MP for Newmarket-Aurora had a "later-stage" operation in the U.S. after a Toronto doctor referred her.

"Belinda had one of her later-stage operations in California, after referral from her personal physicians in Toronto. Prior to this, Belinda had surgery and treatment in Toronto, and continues to receive follow-up treatment there," said MacEachern.

He said speed was not the reason why she went to California.

Instead, MacEachern said the decision was made because the U.S. hospital was the best place to have it done due to the type of surgery required.

So the a "U.S. hospital was the best place to have (the surgery) done." But how it that possible, the Canadian have a free healthcare system that is better than the one in the United States according to the like of Michael Moore and a bunch of Libs. The true irony is that a liberal member of Parliament from Canada had to come to California for s specific type of surgery that was not available in Canada..... But how can that be?????? Their system is better according to Michael Moore in SiCKO.......

I guess not good enough for Stronach.

So would you trust Hillary to design the heathcare system for the U.S.??????

Another Sleazy Lawyer goes down!!!

All the clapping and ii-fives your hearing from Silicon Valley is due to the most notorious sleazy trial lawyer is pleading guilty to a felony. William S. Lerach is preparing to plead guilty as early as today to a single criminal conspiracy charge that could send him to prison for up to two years, according to sources familiar with the case.
I bet you won't find this info on the front page of most newspapers, another fact that papers will conveniently fail to mention, Lerach is huge supporter of the Democratic party. He, his wife, and his former firm donated over $1 million dollars to Democratic candidates since 1990.

From Mother Jones:

According to Forbes, Lerach is among the nations’ top-paid trial attorneys, taking home an estimated $7 million per year. He is also among the most loathed men in Silicon Valley, where vacillating stock prices open the door for shareholders to sue companies if executives make incorrect predictions of corporate success. Milberg Weiss has filed such suits agains the likes of Apple, Silicon Graphics, and Intel (five times in 1994 alone). “The high-tech industry needs someone to demonize,” Lerach once told the San Francisco Examiner. “I’m the Willie Horton of securities law.”

His current favorite presidential candidate: John "Silky Pony" Edwards.

Liberal Thought Process (Yes, it is an oxymoron, but bear with me)

From Toronto:

Ontario Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty said Wednesday that he does not want to see the provinces' schools resort to installing metal detectors and having uniformed security officers patrol the halls in the wake of Tuesday's fatal stabbing at a Toronto high school.

Such a move, he said, would amount to the Americanization of schools in Ontario. . .

Instead, he said, Ontario needs to distinguish itself from the United States by imposing an outright ban on hand guns.

"Let's ban handguns in Ontario," he said. "Let's ban handguns across the country. Let's declare war against handguns."

A 16-year-old Scarborough youth was stabbed to death on Tuesday on a walkway leading from Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute.

Just to make sure you understand this, a student is stabbed to death and a liberal in Canada wants to ban guns?!?!?!?!?!

So why wasn't Mr McGuinty asked, "How does banning handguns prevent stabbings?

What, did I hear John Kerry moved to Canada?

HIllary, Norman Hsu, and the Secret Service.

One question that has not been addressed over the Norman Hsu campaign contribution scandal. Both of the Clintons are protected by the Secret Service (SS). I am sure the SS warned then about the fact that Hsu is a convicted felon. I think it is reasonable to assume that SS found that there was an outstand fugitive warrant for Hsu, since he did not report to jail in 1992.

So, who approved his access to the Clintons? The DNC? Hillary's Staff? Bill? Hillary, herself? Why was he not arrested by the Secret Service? Why hasn't the campaign been questions about this?

Norman Hsu misses court date

Norman Hsu, Hillary's and the Democratic Party's generous donor has missed this bail hearing date. Hsu, who has been a fugitive from justice in California for the past 15 years, was supposed to have a bail hearing regarding the money laundering and fraud case he plead guilty to in 1992. He never turned himself in for the 3 year prison term.

He was exposed as part of an investigation by the Wall Street Journal, which discovered that a blue collar family was donating money to Hillary faster than they were earning it. Their donation pattern match those of Mr. Hsu.

Hsu has listed himself as a fashion importer, but another blogger has done some research on the companies Hsu listed.

In campaign finance reports, Hsu's companies are listed as: Next Components Ltd., Cool Planets Ltd., Because Men's Clothes, and Dilini Management. But none of the companies have online footprints or appear in fashion industry directories that I have searched. The only official recognition of any of these companies that I have found is Next Components, in the form of a filing for a certificate of corporation with the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations -- but even that doesn't hold up to closer scrutiny. The filing was from May 6, 2005, and when I called the Division of Corporations, a representative there told me that the filing needed to be renewed every two years for a fee of $9, but Next Components never responded to the renewal notice.

The filing lists 561 Seventh Ave., Suite 1301 as the address for Next Components, but I called Handro Properties, the management company that runs the building, and was told that not only have they never heard of Next Components, but "Suite 1301" doesn't even exist.

As I reported yesterday, it turns out that an address Hsu listed in his campaign finance filings—455 Fifth Ave.—is the site of the Mid-Manhattan Library. I had a friend of mine who is a real estate broker in New York look into yet another address he listed—160 Wooster St., Apt 3C. That apartment does exist and it's a luxury 2 bedroom that sold for $1.85 million in June of 2004. However, it was sold again for an undisclosed price on November 15, 2005, and FEC records show that Hsu made political donations from that address both before and after that date. So unless he sold the apartment to himself, it's another unusual piece to the rather bizarre puzzle that is Norman Hsu.

So why hasn't the Drive-By Media asked a few pointed questions? From Flip Pidot:

Hey Rendell, Kennedy (, Schumer), you want to reconsider keeping that money now? And what about you, DSCC, DCCC, and the Democrat parties of 10 states, who took hundreds of thousands directly from Hsu and from his shady fundraising sources - are you ready to disgorge these funds yet?

Do you think this guy is a Chicom operative?

Why Liberals Are Turning on Ted Kennedy

It's about time, this killer windbag is finally getting punctured. From Froma Harrop of Real Clear Politics.

Once upon a time, Ted Kennedy could count on his daily dose of veneration. The right wing hated the Massachusetts Democrat, but progressives honored him as a defender of old-school liberalism.

In a remarkable turnaround, liberals are now heaping scorn on the 73-year-old senator. Young audiences boo at his name, and the leftish "Daily Show" on Comedy Central makes fun of him.

The source of unhappiness is Kennedy's efforts to kill an offshore wind farm on Nantucket Sound. Cape Wind was to be the first such project in the United States and a source of pride to environmentally minded New Englanders. Polls show 84 percent of Massachusetts residents in favor. But now it appears that America's first offshore wind farm will be near Galveston, Texas.

Proposed the month before Sept. 11, 2001, Cape Wind remains in limbo. It's been frustrated at every turn by a handful of yachtsmen, Kennedy included, who don't want to see windmills from their verandas. Many millions have been spent spreading disinformation and smearing the wind farm's supporters.

The towers would be at least five miles out and barely visible from shore on the clearest day, but the summer plutocrats resent any intrusion on their waterfront vistas -- and, equally, any challenge to the notion that they control everything.

"But don't you realize -- that's where I sail!" may stand as Kennedy's most self-incriminating quote.

The sordid affair is documented in a funny and depressing book titled "Cape Wind: Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics and the Battle for Our Energy Future on Nantucket Sound." In it, authors Wendy Williams and Robert Whitcomb (full disclosure: Whitcomb is my editor at The Providence Journal) describe the bipartisan endeavor to betray America's environmental and energy interests -- and ignore the welfare of the year-round locals.

Kennedy did much of the dirty work in Washington, but he had considerable help. In 2004, Sen. John Warner, the Virginia Republican, added a last-minute rider to an urgent Iraq War funding bill that forbade the Army Corps of Engineers to spend money permitting offshore wind projects.

"Warner was dragging American troops into the Cape Wind war," Williams and Whitcomb noted. The outcry forced him to back down.

Why did Warner care so deeply about a wind-energy project in Massachusetts? Some of his fabulously wealthy relatives own choice waterfront property on Cape Cod. That's why.

Anchorage is 4,600 miles from Boston. And so what was this project to Rep. Don Young, the Alaska Republican? It was apparently an opportunity to exercise an old grudge against Theodore Roosevelt IV, the 26th president's great-grandson and a wind-farm supporter.

Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander also took an unusual interest in a venture far from his home state of Tennessee. Complaining that wind farms threaten "the wholesale destruction of the American landscape," Alexander introduced legislation that would have banned virtually all offshore wind projects in America. It turns out that Alexander owns a fancy piece of real estate on Nantucket Island.

Kennedy, however, remains the central focus of ire. Greenpeace has just launched an anti-Kennedy, pro-Cape Wind television ad campaign.

John Bullard, the former mayor of New Bedford and a Democratic stalwart, is loudly condemning the senator. His working-class city is downwind from one of the nation's dirtiest power plants. Cape Wind could help replace it.

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers built a wind turbine along an expressway going into Boston and, next to it, a billboard promoting Cape Wind. The project would mean jobs for the Boston local, which runs a training center for wind technology.

After 45 years in the Senate, Kennedy should be polishing his liberal legacy. But his manipulative attacks on this wind farm have so sickened supporters that his long career may be headed for a sorry end.

So Republicans are denounced as hypocrites when their personal lives conflicts with their political views, but it's ok for Democrats? This doesn't pass the smell test.

3 fired at Germantown Performing Art Centre over stage knots

Political correctness gone amuck!!!! A knee-jerk reaction based on feelings and ignorance, not knowledge.

3 fired at GPAC over stage knots
Worker saw typical loops as lynch nooses, says upset alderman

The City of Germantown has fired three theater workers after another employee complained some stage-rope knots resembled lynching nooses.

However, at least one alderman is challenging the terminations as a knee-jerk reaction to a misunderstanding, and is working to get the firings reversed.

The Aug. 24 firing of Germantown Performing Art Centre's technical director, Matthew Strampe, and two part-timers occurred after another city employee apparently complained of a hostile work environment, city spokesman Stacey Ewell said.

"A few weeks ago there were some nooses tied in some ropes backstage," she said.

City Administrator Patrick Lawton fired the three after "extensive interviews" with people at GPAC, Ewell said.

But the firings left Alderman Carole Hinely "very disappointed."

Hinely sits on the GPAC Board of Directors as the alderman liaison.

She said the knots are typical looping knots that stagehands use to make it easier to grip the ropes.

The city had appropriated money to refurbish the stage floor, so the ropes had been pulled down to raise the curtain for the work, Hinely said.

The employee who complained did not work for GPAC and may not be familiar with the theater knots, she said.

The African-American employee who complained "looks up and sees these knots. They were loops looking I guess like a hangman's loop."

"These people did nothing, nothing, nothing wrong."

She described Lawton's actions as a "knee-jerk" reaction.

Lawton did not return a reporter's phone calls Tuesday.

Hinely said she talked to Lawton about the issue Tuesday morning.

"His general position was he thought it was such a sensitive situation that he needed to fire the people, that they did something very dumb and insensitive.

Why does anyone care what Bob Shrum thinks?

Bob Shrum was on "Meet The Press" this past Sunday discussing the upcoming Presidential election in '08. Why?? This is a consultant that has lost 8 presidential elections. He is o'fer. Al least James Carville, Mary Matelin, and Mike Murphy has candidates who have won.

Journalist Who Mocked Bush As "Idiot" learns about Karma

From the Daily Mail

If he didn't believe in karma before, Piers Morgan must surely do now.

The ex-newspaper editor, now a columnist for The Mail on Sunday's Live magazine, took great delight in making fun of President Bush for falling off a Segway - the two-wheeled, motorised, gyroscopically balanced scooter that, its makers promise, will never fall over.

His paper, the Daily Mirror, ran the headline in 2003: "You'd have to be an idiot to fall off, wouldn't you Mr President." It added: "If anyone can make a pig's ear of riding a sophisticated, self-balancing machine like this, Dubya can." So, it seems, can Mr Morgan.

He broke three ribs after falling off the Segway at 12mph in California - just three days before he was due to make his biggest TV appearance to date, as a judge on the grand final of reality show America's Got Talent.

Quite what he was doing on a Segway - labelled 'the geek machine' by critics - Morgan has yet to explain, but these pictures reveal the moment of the undignified crash.

He can be seen cruising comfortably along the promenade at Santa Monica beach. Inexplicably, his delicate sense of balance fails him. The Segway swerves to the right, mounting the kerb. Morgan's 'toned muscular, tanned, superfit torso' (as he describes it) continues straight along the road but sadly his feet remain planted to the rogue Segway.

Inevitably he falls victim to gravity and crunches on to the baking concrete, where he lies, agonised, until a companion can come to his rescue.

He had to be taken to hospital to be patched up, but despite his misfortune, Morgan made it to the TV studio. His celebrity friends have been chortling at his expense. Simon Cowell has urged people to make Morgan laugh because 'it causes Piers absolute agony'.

First Peter Arnett, then Dan Rather, and now Piers Morgan. Keith Olberman, you better be nice!!!!
