Boortz asks, What's Going On Here? ...."Here are some examples from just the last few days …
Huffington Post: Vandalism On Cars In Alta Loma, Calif. "Police are searching for the vandal who carved President Barack Obama's name onto the hoods and ripped out the upholsteries of residents' cars in an Alta Loma, Calif. neighborhood, reports KTLA. Many of the homes on the block had prominent yard signs expressing support for Romney, including resident Ralph Sanchez's property."
Why Is Obama so Nasty and Vulgar? "First, it bespeaks a coarsening of public language. No surprise there (Romney’s gentlemanlyness is more surprising, in fact); for a long time our movies and television have abandoned the rules that banned certain words and phrases. Still, until recently, our political leaders have avoided such vulgarities, at least in their public rhetoric. No more, at least at the highest level of the current Democrat Party."
•A truck affixed with "Obama" stickers dumped a ton of nails in the parking lot of a tea party rally for Romney-Ryan
•Vandals change a church sign to read “Romney Hates Women” and “Christ Voted Democrat” in Indiana
•ObamaBots key “Obama” into cars outside a home with Romney yard signs
•ObamaBots fly a banner calling the GOP “Sexist” And “Racist” over a Romney rally in Florida"This is all that these people can come up with, because they know that they have no real reason to support Obama this time around."

Actor Martin Sheen, about to start shooting a film based on the notion that 9/11 was an inside job, thinks Mitt Romney is stupid. "“Mr. Romney really showed his ass there, and how stupid he is and arrogant. There’s an old phrase, arrogance is ignorance matured, and that’s what we saw....” " Says Himself.
Obama Campaign Strategy: Vandalize Cars of Romney Supporters
Democrats using thug tactics to intimidate Republican Forida Voters
" "A nonregistered voter who casts a vote in the State of Florida may be subject to arrest, imprisonment, and/or other criminal sanctions," the letter warns.
"Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida Department of State, says most of the letters appear to be going to Republicans. He says voters who received one should report it to their local election supervisor or a state voter fraud hotline (1-877-868-3737) so authorities can find out who's behind the mailings. Most of the letters were postmarked in Seattle.
""This is an example of why voters need to be vigilant during the election season and to be aware that there may be people out there committing fraudulent acts," Cate said."
Do We Believe Anymore?
Victor Davis Hanson "We live in an age of disbelief, in which citizens increasingly do not believe what their government says or, for that matter, what is accepted as true by popular culture.

"When I heard the president in the last debate, I thought I was in Cloud Cuckoo Land: he seemed to be running for office as a fresh challenger — with the same future tenses and subjunctive moods of “I will” and “I would” as he long ago used against Bobby Rush, Alan Keyes, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain, when he was the perennial potential office-holder. In other words, the president sounded as if he does not have a record to run on, only a speculative one about which to offer hypotheses. Note how Obama slept through four years and only comes alive in a campaign where he loves his own speeches, likes to accuse and belittle, and feeds off the frenzy of crowds — in comparison to all that, intelligence briefings and debate prep are a “drag.”
"So what he said in these two debates was all a sort of lie, as if Mitt Romney has been president for four years or George Bush is now in his third term. The Greeks called such a busybody, non-stop talker a “polypragmôn,” someone who jumps from here to there, always talking, persuading, speechifying, but never really accomplishing anything. The more Obama promised, the more I thought I had amnesia: did he not have two years of a Democratic Senate and House, and in the beginning with a supermajority that was filibuster-proof?

Beep....Beep....Beep.....White House Tries to Throw Military Under Bus
A pair of companion articles on the White House denial of responsibility for Benghazi. The first is from the military blog Blackfive and uses, um, military terms:
White House Tries to Throw Military Under Bus "So, since the the CIA says it wasn't any of their guys, and since the White House is trying to eliminate any blame on themselves, does this mean the order not to help those Americans under siege in Benghazi came from the military? The White House, it would seem, is trying to shift blame in that direction. "

Blackfive "Blaming people who work for you is one thing, but blaming those that are prohibited by law from speaking publicly about what a piss-poor excuse for a leader you are just makes you look like an even bigger horses ass.
"Neither the president nor anyone in the White House denied any requests for assistance in Benghazi,"
"All Righty Then, let's walk through this." Read more...

Yes, Barack; there IS a Sandy Clause
Hope n' Change
"Christmas has come early for Barack Hussein Obama. Not in the form of a jolly old elf bringing gifts for good boys and girls, but rather in the form of a huge, life-threatening hurricane which will take over the news cycles long enough for Americans to forget (if they've even heard) that Barack Obama quite possibly watched the murder of our Ambassador in Benghazi from the comfort and safety of the situation room ("No dress code - golf clothes fine!"), and may even have given the order for troops to "stand down" rather than answer the dying Americans' desperate pleas for help.
"And why? Because a firefight in Libya would be a distraction from his political campaign, and his false narrative that the killing of Osama bin Laden was tantamount to the end of terrorism."
Effect of hurricane Sandy on the race? Your guess as good as anyone's "My own personal belief is that public opinion is moving toward Romney glacially - and powerfully. I don't think anything save a terrorist attack on our country would be able to affect it. It's still a question whether the tide is moving fast enough to give the election to Romney. But at this point, I don't think it can be stopped." Rick Moran
From Politico (which has been called an MSNBC clone) and linked to by the left-leaning Memeorandum; Hurricane Sandy: 5 political questions " “The president will be in the thick of it — which is when he’s at his best,” the Democratic source said. “There is no way for Romney to replicate that.”
"Romney’s answer: His campaign bus in Virginia was loaded up with relief supplies on Sunday, a move that could make him look compassionate or complicate other relief efforts."
Whatever it takes to cover for Obama, the media will do it. "As far as the media goes, a young sergeant in Afghanistan wrote to tell us that the TV in their messhall is tuned to BBC and al Jazeera, English because they can’t trust the US media to tell them the truth anymore."
Big Journalism; ABC News Sets Template For Obama Win, via Storm Coverage "This column is not about the seriousness of the storm, but about ABC and the politics of disaster and how the network is both advising the president, and creating his template for success."

Now "Benghazigate" has it's own Facebook page
This is one of numerous photos on the new page. The site also contains this column by Thomas Sowell:
Thomas Sowell: Benghazi and a climate of Libyan lies "It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was "offended" by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about?"
....
"To have helped overthrow pro-Western governments in Egypt and Libya, only to bring anti-Western Islamic extremists to power would have been revealed as a foreign policy disaster of the first magnitude."To have been celebrating Obama's supposedly heroic role in the killing of Osama bin Laden, with the implication that Al Qaeda was crippled, would have been revealed as a farce."
The limits of American power
Caroline Glick; The limits of American power "But from what was said, we can be fairly certain that a second Obama term will involve no departure from his foreign policy in his current term in office.
"As far as Iran and its nuclear weapons program is concerned, that policy has involved a combination of occasional tough talk and a relentless attempt to appease the mullahs.".... However Glick asserts that Romney's statements, though welcome, are out of date. And what about any change a Romney foreign policy would bring to the Iran situation? "Romney would face intelligence, diplomatic and military establishments that at a minimum have been complicit in massive leaks of Israeli strike options against Iran and that have so far failed to present credible military options for a US strike against Iran's uranium enrichment sites and other nuclear installations. "He would face a hostile media establishment that firmly and enthusiastically supports Obama's policy of relentless appeasement and has sought to discredit as a warmonger and a racist every politician who has tried to make the case that Iran's nuclear weapons program constitutes an unacceptable threat to US national security."
