Black Lives Matter activist calls Bernie Sanders supporters 'white racists
 "At a Bernie Sanders event. Not exactly the brightest bulbs in the box..."   Joe Newby

 Third Degree Bernie

 

. . . " The crowd, albeit annoyed and whining, actually did exactly what Johnson told them to do because white liberals would rather burst into flames than challenge a black person, even one who's disrupting a public event. Which is why, following the period of silence, Johnson launched into a seemingly endless tirade against racism and other perceived injustices."   
Well, this behavior did pay off:

Hillary No Longer Portrays Herself As A Coal Miner’s Great Granddaughter… 
 "In her 2008 bid for the White House, Hillary Clinton cast herself as a blue-collar Democrat who was unabashedly pro-coal, a stance that helped her beat opponent Barack Obama easily in primaries in states that produced or were reliant on coal.
"Eight years later,. . . the great-granddaughter of a Welsh coal miner is now talking about the coal industry in the past tense."

When a petulant, vindictive president speaks, this is what you hear

 

An evil and ugly speech  . . . "It is an evil and ugly and dishonest speech — not from beginning to end, but at key points, with premeditation and intent to do harm. I challenge readers to find its like by any president in our history. It represents a nadir in presidential oratory and rhetoric. It warrants the closest attention." . . .

"Obama has jammed this deal down the throats of the American people. With the mechanics of the Corker bill in place and Obama’s Democratic adherents reliably in line behind him, Congress will present no serious obstacle to the deal. Obama’s Jew-baiting is the gratuitous act of an extraordinarily vindictive and, to give him the benefit of the doubt, misguided man. It should be nevertheless be recognized for what it is.
"Obama’s real problem is not with Israel or Jews, but rather with the American people."

 President Obama stands by comments linking Republicans to Iranian hard-liners 
"Obama said he was talking to the Democrats who were unsure of their vote “all the time.' ”

Obama and the Iranian Revolution Guard Corps
. . . "Just because the sanctions regime allowed the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) more control over the Iranian economy does not mean that the lifting of sanctions will lessen the Revolutionary Guards’ economic power." . . .

Is Obama’s Smear Campaign to Defend the Iran Deal Backfiring?

 The basic idea is simple: to oppose the president’s Iran deal means you want war with Iran, you’re an Israeli agent, you are in the pay of Jewish donors, and you are abandoning the best interests of the United States. So Dan Pfeiffer, senior political adviser to Obama until this winter, tweeted that Senator Charles Schumer — who announced his opposition to the Iran deal last week — should not be Democratic leader in the Senate because he “wants War with Iran.”

RedState comments:    . . . "The criticism of Republicans is about what America can expect from a man who was elected to be a divider instead of a uniter. His followers expect the road to Hell to be paved with dead Republicans and this issue is just one more opportunity to serve up the read meat to rabid ideological pit bulls." . . .

 Ugliness: Iran deal supporters call Schumer a greedy, disloyal Jew   "Ever since the White House leaked Thursday night that Sen. Chuck Schumer would be coming out against the Iran deal, the progressive movement has foamed at the mouth with vitriol directed Schumer’s way.
"Much of it is just the plain old progressive vitriol of the MoveOn.org, Daily Kos and netroots types. Schumer is a warmonger, wants war, loves war, and so on."

 ‘He Lied’ About Bill Ayers? McCain cranks out some false and misleading attacks on Obama's connection to a 1960s radical. 
 . . . "McCain says in an Internet ad that the two "ran a radical ‘education’ foundation" in Chicago. But the supposedly "radical" group was supported by a Republican governor and included on its board prominent local civic leaders, including one former Nixon administration official who has given $1,500 to McCain’s campaign this year. Education Week says the group’s work "reflected mainstream thinking" among school reformers. The group was the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, started by a $49 million grant from the Annenberg Foundation, which was established by the publisher Walter Annenberg, a prominent Republican whose widow, Leonore, is a contributor to the McCain campaign." . . .

Vetting Carly

When one becomes enamored with a political candidate, that is when it is most important to consider their cons. Obama voters did not -and do not - vet intelligently so we wound up with this petulant man controlling our lives. Before setting ourselves on fire for Ms. Fiorina, lets consider opinions of her as a total person, if only to be wiser than Obama-Hillary voters have been. TD

Carly Fiorina: Islamic Civilization was “Greatest in the World”  "Lots of people are losing their minds over Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, but apart from her terrible record at Hewlett Packard, the 60-year-old seems to believe the Islamic Ottoman Empire civilization was the greatest in the world. "

Carly: a Flawed Candidate  . . . "Well, Boehner's "tactics", which ended up being employed, was to fully fund ObamaCare, which is what we still have today. Carly was clearly against putting up a fight to defund ObamaCare. What kind of a fighter will she be for limited government as President? Not very much of one, based on the evidence.
"Carly supporters, please tell me why these comments are irrelevant and/or why views such as these only have a statute of limitations of two years."

Refuted by a commenter:  "As a Matter of Fact Carly DID Get That Phone Call "
. . . "One of her more memorable lines, perhaps the one most often repeated, came in response to a question about Donald Trump: “I didn’t get a phone call from Bill Clinton before I jumped in the race. Did any of you get a phone call from Bill Clinton? I didn’t. Maybe it’s because I hadn’t given money to the foundation, or donated to his wife’s Senate campaign.”

. . . 

"There’s just one small problem: Carly Fiorina not only received a call from Bill Clinton (or someone working for him), she answered that call and appeared on stage with both Bill and Hillary when she spoke at an event sponsored by the Clinton Global Initiative in June of last year.

Diane Tavarez Strain from Bonsall, California commented:

"Did you actually watch it? She's against the minimum wage, she's for fracking, she wants more entrepreneurialship, says the Gov shouldn't be involved, calls out Clinton on Dodd-Frank, calls everyone out on Crony-capitalism. The only thing I saw was she said the Clinton Foundation was helping minorities in start up businesses, which is how they were selling themselves at the time. She was NOT there representing Clinton, but was part of a panel on Meet the Press." "Watch the whole damn thing!!"

So Fiorina was not there to advocate CGI; she was on a panel discussing it.  This report is on her appearance with the panel.

Fiorina blames income inequity on Obama's "crony capitalism" policies
. . . " But other panelists, including Republican and longtime business executive Carly Fiorina, disagreed on that solution. She blamed "crony capitalism" - supported by the financial policies of President Barack Obama's administration — for persistent income inequality in the United States. "The rich are getting richer," she said, "and the poor are getting poorer." . . .
