In Reply to: Truly disgusting - huh?
tonight, *as long as we are being kicked in the rear, we know we are still in the front.* I have had so many good laughs this week, has made me feel so good after recuperating from my hip replacement.
It has been so comical, since watching TV is about all I have been able to do, I had to watch CNN and MSNBC just for the laughs! It is so obvious that they are afraid of Fox News and their ratings. They have made such fools of themselves this week! They would have appeared much more professional if they had just handled the tea parties as any normal news coverage. In trying to make someone else look stoopid, they have only made themselves the stooges.
The prime example was the subject of your post. I don't know what kind of rock they found her under, but she needs to slither back under it and stay put (just a personal opinion). As for Olberman agreeing with her, he was just showing his usual stupidity! Disgusting hardly begins to describe this clip.
Anyone who tries to defend what this person(?) says surely has some serious issues that need addressing. And the DHS is worried about our returning veterans and anyone who is pro-life? They have us on a list of terrorist? The people who attacked the Twin Towers are no longer terrorists. But, these rednecks at the tea parties are potential terrorists.
Yes, truly disgusting.

Dim bulbs? How about Mike Huckabee? LOL!
I didn't agree with Mike Huckabee politically, but I always found him to be incredibly gracious and authentic. He had Coulter on his show (aptly followed by Jerry Springer, who ironically brought CIVILITY to the show.) and confronted her about the lies she published about HIM in her book.
If you scroll down the first page, you'll see the Springer segment. I believe when Huckabee referred to "authenticity" while speaking to Springer, he was referring to Coulter. At least, that's how it came across to me.
Here's the video:

God bless you too!
Oh for the love of Mike!
I should hope that no one would be swayed by stupid blogs. They are so obviously biased. May I suggest that you listen to what comes out of all candidates MOUTHS. Obviously the rabid Republicans would be happy to have you stay home and not vote if you aren't going to vote for their "chosen one."
Mike Malloy from Air America...sm
For the past couple of months, I have been listening to Mike Malloy's show. I have become quite a fan. Like myself, he has gone from being very nervous to downright scared of these lunatics occupying our White House. I was quite surprised to learn that he supports the 2nd Amendment and owns a gun. He was on Alex Jones' radio program today. I strongly agree with what he had to say. Here is a link to the audio on their discussion.

Air America just fired Mike Malloy...sm
MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO
There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are as shocked as you are. We are told its a financial decision.
More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.
They said it was financial - This is total BS. More free speech suppression.
And add Republican Mike DeWine and his Swift Boat ad firm
DeWine sticks with firm that bungled 9/11 ad
By Bret Schulte
Posted 7/20/06
Ohio Republican Sen. Mike DeWine is sticking with the political advertising firm that doctored images of the World Trade Center to make it appear as though the footage came from the September 11 attacks. The video was used in a 30-second campaign spot that has aired throughout Ohio since last Friday, accusing his opponent, Democratic Rep. Sherrod Brown, of being weak on national security. An investigation by U.S. News revealed that the images, which show the south tower ablaze and the north tower untouched –– contradicting the chronology of the day's events –– were bogus.
The firm that produced the commercial has been the subject of controversy before. Alexandria-based Stevens, Reed, Curcio & Potholm produced the famous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads that challenged the war record of Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry in 2004. Still, the DeWine campaign has no plans to ax the ad agency. Stevens, Reed, Curcio & Potholm is a nationally recognized firm, and they will continue to do media consulting for the campaign, said DeWine spokesman Brian Seitchik.
The DeWine campaign learned of the faked video when contacted by U.S. News Wednesday evening. DeWine promised to immediately replace the video in question with a still image of the World Trade Center taken before the attacks. The campaign says the spot, now modified, will not be pulled anytime soon, despite ongoing controversy that has threatened to drown out the commercial's message. Long before yesterday's revelation, Democratic critics were lambasting the ad as an attempt to capitalize politically on the terrorist attacks. Republicans have made similar charges about the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's use of images of flag-draped coffins in ads criticizing the war in Iraq.
Still unclear is why DeWine's advertising firm would doctor an image of the twin towers when numerous photos and video accounts of the actual event are available. A source with some knowledge of the ad called the entire commercial graphics based, with the computer-generated smoke just another part of the mix. Stevens, Reed, Curcio & Potholm did not return phone calls requesting comment. A source says no one has been fired from either the campaign or the ad agency as a result of the fallout.
Brown's campaign, already enraged over the ad, called the doctored images shameless. Brown has seized this opportunity to question DeWine's character. Mike DeWine has always run campaigns with attack ads and distortions, Brown said in an interview. For his part, DeWine insists it was an honest mistake that doesn't detract from the message of the ad. The fact is we stand by the ad. Sherrod Brown and I have very different views and approaches to the defense of this country, DeWine said.
Brooks Jackson, director of the watchdog publication publication FactCheck.org, expressed mostly bemusement. This seems to be a case of incompetence on the part of the media consultant, Jackson said, not an attempt to deceive voters.
huckabee
Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross reminds of Huckabee. The fascist part, no.
huckabee
Is that guy still hanging around? He seems affable. I like him. As far as the vanilla statement . . . warning . . warning ... this is a joke . . . sniffs of racism, if you ask me.
Huckabee...? Nope....
from defintion of facism: Fascist movements usually try to retain some supposedly healthy parts of the nation's existing political and social life, but they place more emphasis on creating a new society. In this way fascism is directly opposed to conservatism—the idea that it is best to avoid dramatic social and political change. Instead, fascist movements set out to create a new type of total culture in which values, politics, art, social norms, and economic activity are all part of a single organic national community.
With all due respect, that sounds much more like where liberals are heading than where conservatives are heading...?
Huckabee comes to mind.LOL sm
A woman was interviewed in an exit poll and said she voted for McCain. When asked what attracted her to McCain, she said he was bringing the troops home. YIKES!!!! He just said he intended to stay in Iraq for 100 years. What is the matter with America. Are people really this dense.
hil's starting to look a lot like Huckabee
her best hope is to be Obama's VP at this point. I think with that ticket they would be unstoppable
Huckabee spoke about this the other day
He said a very astute financial guy with decades of eperience had noticed a very unusual trend in the market last week; that every day at the same time late in the day, the market would begin selling off huge volumes, just in time where it could not rebound and then this would start again the next day, with no rebound gain. He questioned economic terrorism then.
And it did make us wonder then if this thing was being manipulated. When the government over the weekend began singing how they were going to put money in the banks that was a big sign for me that there may be something to the suspicions. This gave governments an exception to buy into banks, thereby starting the ball of socialism. Government should never ever be involved in banks like this.
I don't think for a moment this has anything to do with not paying China off because China has been hacking into the World Trade Bank in Europe for over a year.... a year! And their people can't keep them out. So, that tells me China has been involved in this manipulation for a long time. They managed to get very private financial documents with loan information and procurements on them that would allow them to really manipulation behind the scenes with all that information they have.
I don't doubt China has EVERYTHING to do with this. But if we keep buying more of their junk and refuse to buy anything but their junk, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. We should start demanding our government NOT import any more goods from China and that our companies going over there to save taxes be given tax exemptions ONLY if they bring all their business back to this country.
When I was growing up, my great aunts always said keep us out of the United Nations and don't do business with communist countries or we would regret it one day. They were right!
Huckabee is Wrong and Here's Why
Pat Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice started this nonsense, and it was then picked up by Fox News and the Christian Broadcasting Network.
However, the ACLJ got it totally wrong. The language in the provision blocks on-campus spending on buildings that are used PRIMARILY for religious purposes, like chapels, and this language has been a standard part of every education-spending bill for the last 46 YEARS. It's the law, and it's never been controversial.
Huckabee, the CBN, and Fox News are either too stupid to know how to read legislature or are deliberately making reckless accusations without knowing the facts.
Huckabee sees sm
the One World Government coming and what is going to happen according to bible scripture. The people that you think are trying to scare you might be trying to warn you of what is coming. It is your choice of whether you believe it or not.
Huckabee is hallucinating..........nm

me too!! I love obama but huckabee...s/m
I guess all of the rapists are happy tonight. If he wins the presidency i'm moving to Canada
Huckabee's phone call from God. sm
Anyone else see this? Funny at first, but gave me the creeps by the end of it. I am surprised some of these people have not been struck by lightning.

Huckabee? Not presidential material
Here is Novak's recent article on him. Creepy. Reminds me a little of a wolf in sheep's clothing. I think it is important to get the opinions of those people in the districts politicians serve. Those opinions on Huckabee are not very good.
The False Conservative
by Robert Novak
Posted: 11/26/2007
Who would respond to criticism from the Club for Growth by calling the conservative, free-market campaign organization the "Club for Greed"? That sounds like Howard Dean, Dennis Kucinich or John Edwards, all Democrats preaching the class struggle. In fact, the rejoinder comes from Mike Huckabee, who has broken out of the pack of second-tier Republican presidential candidates to become a serious contender -- definitely in Iowa and perhaps nationally.
Huckabee is campaigning as a conservative, but serious Republicans know that he is a high-tax, protectionist, big-government advocate of a strong hand in the Oval Office directing the lives of Americans. Until now, they did not bother to expose the former governor of Arkansas as a false conservative because he seemed an underfunded, unknown nuisance candidate. Now that he has pulled even with Mitt Romney for the Iowa caucuses with the possibility of more progress, the beleaguered Republican Party has a frightening problem on its hands.
The rise of evangelical Christians as the motive force that blasted the GOP out of minority status during the past generation always contained an inherent danger if these new Republican acolytes supported not merely a conventional conservative but one of their own. That has happened now with Huckabee, a former Baptist minister educated at Ouachita Baptist University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The danger is a serious contender for the nomination who passes the litmus test of social conservatives on abortion, gay marriage and gun control but is far removed from the conservative-libertarian model of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan.
There is no doubt about Huckabee's record during a decade in Little Rock as governor. He was regarded by fellow Republican governors as a compulsive tax increaser and spender. He increased the Arkansas tax burden by 47 percent, boosting the levies on gasoline and cigarettes. When he decided to lose 100 pounds and pressed his new lifestyle on the American people, he was far from a Goldwater-Reagan libertarian.
As a presidential candidate, Huckabee has sought to counteract his reputation as a taxer by pressing for replacement of the income tax with a sales tax and has more recently signed the no-tax-increase pledge of Americans for Tax Reform. But Huckabee simply does not fit in normal boundaries of economic conservatism, as when he criticized President Bush's veto of a Democratic expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). Calling global warming a "moral issue" mandating "a biblical duty" to prevent climate change, he has endorsed the cap-and-trade system that is anathema to the free market.
Huckabee clearly departs from the mainstream of the conservative movement in his confusion of "growth" with "greed." Such ad hominem attacks are part of his intuitive response to criticism from the Club for Growth and the libertarian Cato Institute for his record as governor. On Fox News Sunday Nov. 18, he called the "tactics" of the Club for Growth "some of the most despicable in politics today. It's why I love to call them the Club for Greed because they won't tell you who gave their money." In fact, all contributors to the organization's political action committee (which produces campaign ads) are publicly revealed, as are most donors financing issue ads.
Quin Hillyer, a former Arkansas journalist writing in the conservative American Spectator, called Huckabee "a guy with a thin skin, a nasty vindictive streak." Huckabee's retort was to attack Hillyer's journalistic procedures, fitting a mean-spirited image when he responds to conservative criticism.
Nevertheless, he is getting remarkably warm reviews in the news media as the most humorous, entertaining and interesting GOP presidential hopeful. Contrary to descriptions by old associates, he is now called "jovial" or "good-natured." Any Republican who does not sound much like a Republican is bound to benefit from friendly media support, as Sen. John McCain did in 2000 but not today with his return to being more like a conventional Republican.
An uncompromising foe of abortion can never enjoy full media backing. But Mike Huckabee is getting enough favorable buzz that, when combined with his evangelical base, it makes real conservatives shudder.
Huckabee show on now, Hannity after that
He's got a new show on FNC and it is very good. Hannity's America is on afterwards, which looks to be extremely informative. Whether you like these 2 or not, their info can be fact-checked.
I don't care what Huckabee sees
believe in separation of church and state. That is the American way - whether it is popular or not.
Don't bother to warn me about Jesus coming, I'm ready. Please stop assuming you know things you don't.
Huckabee forgot about the Patriot Act...
Ummm audacious? More control? I'm getting whiplash from looking behind in order to look ahead.
After reading Huckabee's pronouncement I was moved to religious zeal.....
I found myself saying "Good God!" and "Jesus Christ!"
Chris Wallace....son of Mike Wallace (of CBS fame).
Chris Wallace is not a conservative. He does fair interviews. He doesn't softball. I would love to see Chris Wallace interview him. Chris Wallace is a journalist. Those the other poster mentioned are commentators. Their schtick is to be controversial. Wallace is not like that at all, but he doesn't pander either. That is who I would like to see interview him. I would also like to see him agree to the townhall meetings that John McCain has tried to get him to go to...where regular folks can ask some of the questions. But he steadfastedly refuses to do so. And I understand why. They might ask the difficult questions he does not want to answer.
