Crazy Fool at MSNBC Continues to Smear Scott Brown (Video)

Gateway Pundit "What he lacks in logic he makes up for in fury." Factcheck: Olbermann Repeats Incorrect Anti-Scott Brown Claims of Racism & Vulgarity, Insists He's Correct "But there’s no reason to expect Olbermann to check into the context of why the circumstances of Obama’s birth were brought into the conversation by Brown since doing so might contradict the MSNBC host’s perpetual quest to find racism in every Republican’s shadow."

Political Cartoons by Glenn Foden

Townhall

MIke Ramirez on the Massachusetts election

Obama Gets It Right

Roger Kimball, Pajamas Media "All eyes have been focused on the proposed bills to transform the way health care is managed, delivered, and paid for in the United States. The Democrats scored a rhetorical triumph by getting everyone, opponents as well as supporters, to refer to this proposed government takeover of medicine as “health care reform.” “Reform”? What is being proposed is “health care reform” in approximately the sense that Stalin’s collectivization of agriculture in the late 1920s was “agricultural reform.” "

Democrats’ Plan for Election 2010: Cheat

Sarah Durand, Pajamas Media "Destroying the integrity of U.S. elections has been a longtime project for the far left. For over a decade, elected Democrats have manipulated the American people into believing their counterfeit altruistic intentions to enable more citizens to vote. Though largely flying under the radar, they’ve been looking for ways to use our legislative system to trump up fraudulent votes and their subterfuge knows no boundaries. In 1993 Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act, commonly called “motor voter.” Under the deception that it would boost voter turnout, the bill laid the foundation for much of the voter fraud we’ve seen over the last 15 years."

Highlights of Brown's victory speech

Ethel C. Fenig, AT "Aside from embarrassing his lovely daughters, Senator-elect Scott Brown's (R-MA) (and doesn't that sound good?) victory speech was as forthright as his campaign; gracious to the loser, respectful to his predecessor, thankful to those who helped him and blunt in his goals."

Grassley: Murkowski measure to block EPA rules unlikely to pass

The Hill "Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) said that not even all 40 Republicans may be on board with a proposed measure from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to forestall the EPA from regulating emissions."

EARTHQUAKE IN MASSACHUSETTS

Neal Boortz "How will Republicans react to this? Will they get cocky? Look .. this election didn't go this way because Scott Brown was a particularly brilliant campaigner, or because Martha Coakley was a complete dud. Sure, those were factors --- but the driving influence was this horrendous health care bill and the special deals Obama and the Democrats were willing to make to get it passed. This sense of desperation on the part of Democrats sounded an alarm in the voters of Massachusetts. Add to this the tripling of the deficit, massive debt that our children won't be able to pay off .. and this is the cake you bake."

Obama’s Blessing in Disguise

Stephen Spruiell, NRO "President Obama doesn’t know it yet, but Scott Brown did him a huge favor. If, as expected, he becomes the next senator from Massachusetts; and if, as expected, his election dooms the Pelosi-Reid health-care-reform bill, Obama will have an opportunity to lay the entire fiasco at the feet of that troublesome Democratic duo. If he’s smart, he’ll take it. "

It’s the Enemy, Stupid / National-security strength lifts Scott Brown.

Andrew C. McCarthy "The laws of war are the rule of law. They are not a suspension of the Constitution. They are the Constitution operating in wartime. The Framers understood that there would be wars against enemies of the United States — it is stated explicitly in the Constitution’s treason clause ...The American people understand that we have enemies, even if Washington sees them as political “engagement” partners waiting to happen. Americans also grasp that war is a political and military challenge that the nation has to win, not a judicial proceeding in which your enemies are presumed innocent. The rule of law is not and has never been the rule of lawyers — especially lawyers we can’t vote out of office when they say we must let trained terrorists move in next door." h/t to NRO

Why the Great and Growing Backlash?

Victor Davis Hanson "Dream up a gargantuan backlash against Barack Obama’s left-wing gospel, and you still could not invent the notion of a relatively unknown, conservative Scott Brown knocking off an Obama-endorsed, liberal, female attorney in liberal Massachusetts — in a race to fill the seat once held by Ted Kennedy. If a liberal senatorial candidate can be defeated in Massachusetts, eleven months after the Obama hope-and-change blitzkrieg, it is hard to believe that any liberal seat is necessarily safe anywhere."

Accused Al Qaeda Terrorist Hauled Out of Courtroom in N.Y. Over Outbursts

CNS News "Aafia Siddiqui, a reputed al-Qaeda supporter, is charged with trying to kill U.S. military officers and federal agents in Afghanistan in July 2008. Her outburst came less than two hours after her trial began in federal court in Manhattan. U.S. Army Capt. Robert Snyder testified that documents found in Siddiqui's purse included targets for a mass casualty attack, including the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge." What does this tell you?
