Dallas Tea Party activists push back against Gingrich’s straw men
Call them out.
She doesn’t have the votes
Photoshop: Ray D.
Know your failure, Nancy. And own it:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi counted votes Thursday night and determined she could not pass a “robust public option” — the most aggressive of the three forms of a public option House Democrats have been considering as part of a national overhaul of health care.
Pelosi’s decision—coupled with a significant [...]
The friends of Dede Scozzafava
Judge the Margaret Sanger award winner by the company she keeps:
Fundraising reports for all the candidates in the New York special election are due today, but the candidates have been required to report all donations above $1,000 in the final weeks of the race.
And, to get a sense why conservatives have been so cool to [...]
Dear Newt Gingrich: Meet Ronald Reagan
So, Newt Gingrich is invoking Reagan to defend his endorsement of radical leftist Dede Scozzafava in the NY-23 special congressional election?
Triple-gag:
“If you seek to be a perfect minority, you’ll remain a minority,” says Gingrich. “That’s not how Reagan built his revolution or how we won back the House in 1994.”
Let’s quote Reagan back to Gingrich, [...]
Introducing “Oba Mao!”
The latest in Commie Chic: “Oba Mao” t-shirts!
Nope, not manufactured by RAAAACIST Tea Party protesters. Manufactured in China and sold by the Chinese for the rest of the Citizens of the World.
Mao-cheerleading White House communication director Anita Dunn has already put in a special order (via Breitbart TV):

On a related note, Bill Gertz reported [...]

Calling them out: NRCC, RNC & Gingrich back Margaret Sanger Award winner
If you have given to the NRCC, RNC, or Newt Gingrich under the impression that they are using the money to support conservatism, you might want to ask for your money back.
As I mentioned in my column post on the NY23 special election, the NRCC is using conservatives’ money to back a radical leftist and [...]
Best Nobel Peace Prize Rap Ever

Anita Dunn: A corruptocrat flack and a Mao cheerleader
President Obama with Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, Rahm Emanuel, and Robert Gibbs (via White House Flickr stream)
Earlier this week, I spotlighted White House interim communications director and chief Fox-basher Anita Dunn’s career-long commitment to flacking for one of the Beltway’s most entrenched and crooked creatures, Tom Daschle.
I also noted that Dunn is married to Obama [...]
Gag: Obama credited with making interracial marriage acceptable
Oh, spare me. Please:
There’s nothing more traditional in American politics than the wholesome family portrait: a beaming candidate, beaming spouse, reluctantly beaming teenagers.
But when Bill de Blasio, a candidate for public office in New York City this fall, put his family in his campaign mailings and TV ads, there was nothing routine about it. De [...]
Magazine industry rewards Obama cult worship
Every year, the Magazine Publishers of America rewards the creative talents who design covers for leading publications.
There are awards for sports covers, lifestyle covers, celebrity covers, science covers, and news covers.
This year, the MPA created a special new category:
BEST OBAMA MAGAZINE COVER.
The winner? Obama cultist Jan Wenner’s Rolling Stone:
Here’s what the judges said about the [...]
Wealth redistributor-in-chief: Hey, let’s spread around another $13 billion!
You. Have. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me:
President Obama on Wednesday attempted to preempt the announcement that Social Security recipients will not get an increase in their benefit checks for the first time in three decades, encouraging Congress to provide a one-time payment of $250 to help seniors and disabled Americans weather the recession.
“One-time payment” [...]
And now, Barack Obama is afraid of…San Francisco?
Last night, it was Michelle Obama shunning the hostile and dangerous territory of South Carolina.
Today, Bookworm Room notes this San Francisco Chronicle column item reporting that President Obama is hiding from the leftists in San Francisco:
The White House’s fear of protests from Code Pink and other left-wingers has put the brakes on President Obama making [...]

DNC humor czar condemns Nobel Prize jokes
The Twitter hashtag of the day is #nobelol (started by Andy Levy) — for Twitter users from the left, right, and center laughing out loud at Barack Obama’s receipt of a Nobel Peace Prize he himself says he doesn’t deserve.
There’s already a bumper sticker via College Politico:
The worldwide derision has a Democratic National Committee flack [...]
What should Obama do with the Nobel prize money?
The president will receive $1.4 million from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for not achieving anything concrete.
He will receive $1.4 million for an award he himself says he doesn’t deserve.
What should he do with the cash?
The field is all yours.

A peek at a federal employee’s spam e-mail from Team Obama
Here’s the e-mail of the day, from a beleaguered federal employee at the Commerce Department.
Thanks to the e-mailer for giving us a revealing glimpse into the bowels of the spam-happy, appointee-overrun Obama bureaucracy.
Michelle,
I work for the Department of Commerce as a federal employee…and am getting rather fed up with what I have seen since last [...]
Do the Watusi: Art, imitation, and the Obamas
Yesterday, we chuckled over the indecision-themed “word art” that the Obamas chose to hang in the White House.
Today, a Free Republic poster notices another of the Obamas’ curious art choices: “Watusi (Hard Edge),” by Alma Thomas, who is described by the NYTimes as “a longtime Washington resident who is an African-American painter.”
Alma Thomas’s “Watusi” (1963) [...]
Ugh: McCain & Company melting on cap-and-tax
I said it last month and it bears repeating: Beware the Climate Change Republicans.
Are you ready for the latest signs of capitulation by GOP global warming preacher Sen. John McCain and company?
1) Senate Dems opening to nuclear as a path to GOP support, 60 votes
Key Senate Democrats signaled yesterday they are willing to [...]
The Obamas’ art is worth a thousand words
Indecision.
Another target for the criminalization-of-conservatism movement
Won’t be long before this guy is blamed for inciting violence:
An unusual sign has appeared along Interstate 70 in Blue Springs.
If you are traveling in the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exit you will see a sign that appears to be anti-President Barack Obama.
The sign features the [...]
Ostrich award: Nancy Pelosi joins Charlie Gibson
Huh? What? Duh? The Senate de-funded ACORN?
Nancy Pelosi says she didn’t know:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said yesterday she is clueless about an amendment to prohibit government funds for embattled ACORN, although it overwhelmingly passed the Senate Monday and the White House is calling for the group to be held accountable.
“I don’t even know what they [...]
You make me wanna shout
Nancy Pelosi just sent out the following fund-raising e-mail through the DCCC:
If this summer proved anything, it showed how urgently we must stand together to restore civility to our politics and help President Obama seize this historic moment for health insurance reform in America.
You have already taken a stand against the Republicans’ attempt to shout [...]
Specter makes his final betrayal official; Update: Obama coos over Specter, Big Labor
I laid out Arlen Specter’s coming betrayal on card-check in May.
Today, Benedict Arlen just made it official:
Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter took another step in his political transformation on Tuesday, telling hundreds of labor activists that he will support legislation that would make it easier to form unions.
In a speech at the AFL-CIO convention, Specter also [...]
Pelosi to attend fund-raiser hosted by villainous health care lobbyist
Remember when Nancy Pelosi called private health insurers “villains” and “almost immoral” two months ago?
Well, never mind, eh, Nancy?
The Open Left blog reports exclusively that Pelosi will attend a fund-raiser next week hosted by villainous Steve Elmendorf, a registered lobbyist with almost immoral private health insurer, United Health. He’s throwing the party at his house [...]
Obamacare: The primetime pitch
Five minutes to speech time… my first mistake was turning on MSNBC to start off with. According to Keith Olbermann, who’s always grimacing as if he just got a colonoscopy with a rose bush, we have what amounts to a third world health care system that can only be saved by a government that has [...]
