NBC- Setting journalistic standards for the MSM

And you thought our appreciation of Herman Cain would shut down those "racist Republicans" mantras. Liberals never sleep and would rather demagogue that eat.

Rick Moran  "The irony is that the left is channeling their own feelings about Obama from 2008. Perhaps they think the only way anyone can vote for a black man for president is if it makes them feel superior to those who vote for a white man.
"They have no clue that racial politics - the kind practiced by liberals both white and black - is pretty much unknown on the right. Cain has earned his place as a front runner based on what he stands for and what he has said, not his skin color. This is obviously driving liberals nuts and has them casting about for reasons they are already familiar with.
"What a shallow, myopic view these liberals have of their opponents, and of people of color."

Weasel Zippers;  "No low is too low for MSNBC."




MSNBC Analyst: GOP Sees Herman Cain as a 'Black Man Who Knows His Place'  "This isn't the first time liberals have made this kind of charge about Cain and his supporters. During an online production of NBC's Meet the Press this week, Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland said white voters support Cain to show they aren't racist. “I think when [members of the Tea Party] can vote for a Herman Cain and hear him say the things that he says they feel like, ‘Well, you know, I can, I support this guy and...so it shows that I’m not racist and I’m supportive,'" Cummings told host David Gregory."

From Hot Air: Dem strategist: Conservatives like Herman Cain because he’s a black man who knows his place  "Makes sense. What better way to keep blacks down than by electing a rich, self-made black businessman president of the United States? I appreciate the fact that he’s willing to sit in the back of the bus, and by “the bus” I of course mean “his own limousine.” Such cheery subservience deserves a pat on the head and a treat of some sort. How about we give him the nuclear launch codes?"

Reason Magazine: The Left's Race-Baiting of Herman Cain; Understanding liberal hostility to the Republican presidential hopeful
"Liberals accuse conservatives of wanting to bring back Jim Crow; conservatives liken the black community's allegiance to Democrats to plantation slavery. And yes, some on the right have engaged in racially tinged anti-Obama rhetoric (Obama-as-witch-doctor posters, anyone?). But what happens when the left faces a black opponent? Just ask Herman Cain."

The Trouble with Romney and the Perils of Perry

donkeyhotey

PJ Media  "So now, the Perry campaign is doing three things to get back on track. One, he is rolling out his energy and jobs plans. Two, he is floating the idea of skipping debates. And three, he is launching attacks on Mitt Romney. The attacks are fair — accusations that RomneyCare includes illegal aliens, which it does, and that he’s unreliable to conservative voters, which he is; and that he has flipped on everything from gun rights to abortion to global warming, all of which are true — but are they likely to help Perry? And is skipping the debates the right idea?"

Keep the Electoral College! (updated)

Popular Vote or the Electoral College?  "The Electoral College preserves federalism, encourages candidates to build national coalitions, and grants definitive electoral outcomes. It requires a presidential candidate to win simultaneous elections across 50 states and the District of Columbia."

Lets look at it this way, shall we?  Look at this map of the United States mainland taken at night and observe the lights. Some areas are very bright while others have few lights, but the most brilliant patches of light are the areas that will choose our president if this nation abandons the Electoral College.

The great swath of the plains will have little voice -candidates will rarely visit there- while the brilliant patches along the Eastern Seaboard, Great Lakes and Pacific Coast will pretty much be the chooser of the candidates.
Now compare this photo with the Electoral map of the US below and see which political spectrum would have the say on presidential elections. Blue states are Democrat-controlled, (in case you were not aware) and the Pacific Coast area sends us Nancy Pelosi along with Fortney "Pete" Stark, Maxine Waters, Jerry Brown and left-wing indoctrinating school curriculum.
The Great Lakes area gave us Obama, Reverend Wright, Rahm Emmanuel and Chicago-style politics. The Eastern Seaboard sent us Barney Frank, Carl Levin, Bernie Sanders, Al Sharpton and mushy RINOs such as Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Mitt Romney ( the latter being an excellent debater, however).

The Electoral College map tells me the Democrats will be at the forefront of any fight to replace the EC with the popular vote and will make eloquent arguments about "putting the American people back in charge of our nation's destiny".

The Electoral College is our best safeguard against electing trendy,"movement" candidates, its main failure being the election of a "celebrity" president such as Barack Obama, the darling of Hollywood, the news media and the PC entertainment industry. But it is our best hope.

We must keep the Electoral College.

Update: Hans von Spakovsky: Destroying the Electoral College: The Anti-Federalist National Popular Vote Scheme  "The National Popular Vote (NPV) plan is the latest in a long line of schemes designed to replace the Electoral College. Imbued with the ideals of this nation’s Founders, the Electoral College has proved itself to be both effective in providing orderly elections for President and resilient in allowing a stable transfer of power of the leadership of the world’s greatest democracy. Therefore, while it would be a mistake to replace the Electoral College, replacing this system with the NPV would be a disaster."

Lets check in to see how our Occupy folks are doing, shall we?

Iraq War Veteran Injured at #OWS Oakland Founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.Com  "But I ran across something this evening that may add a new dimension to this story. It has been widely reported that Olsen is a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. But apparently his opposition to the U.S. military and the Marine Corps in which he served runs a little deeper.
"The site is no longer live, but Olsen was the founder of IHateTheMarineCorps.com, a private user forum apparently dedicated to bashing the Marine Corps."

The real intent of the Occupy Wall Street movement reveals it’s head again.  Too many misspellings to choose a pullout quote,

From Freedom Fighter's Journal:  OWS CHICAGO LED BY TERRORISTS (DIDN'T WE ALWAYS KNOW?) "They were lead by radical anti-war activists Joe Iosbaker and Andy Thayer, who we have reported on in the past for their ongoing investigations by the FBI. In September of 2010 they were targeted for suspicion of providing material support to Hamas, the F.A.R.C. and other terrorist organizations."

Powerline: Epistle to the Occupations  "Millionaire Marxist Michael Moore was traumatized by questions addressed to him on CNN concerning his wealth. It doesn’t take much to reduce him to incoherence. Even with time to collect his thoughts, he is not entirely capable of lucidity."

It Begins… #OWS Goon Threatens to Stab Local FOX 5 Reporter  "“This is somebody I’ve come across several times for the last few days. He threatened to stab me in the throat with a pen. He ripped the mic out of my hand,” said Huddy."

M Catharine Evans:  Richmond Occupiers Haven't Paid Squat   "The First Amendment prohibits the government from treating assemblers differently based on their particular message. In short, no one gets a pass just because a mayor, a police commissioner or any other local authority figure sympathizes with the assembly's cause.

"Every informed law-abiding citizen has to keep the pressure on exposing the hypocrisy of the Left. Tea parties across the country would do well to follow Richmond's lead."

Jason Pappas:  Phony Downtrodden in Zuccotti Park  "Perhaps the occupation will be taken over by real poor.  "Organizers took other steps to police the squatters, who they said were lured in from other parks with the promise of free meals." Aren't the OWS people squatters?  When did Zuccotti Park become theirs?  How can they reject the homeless as squatters on land that isn't even theirs? "

Jonah Goldberg: OWS Needs a Republican President; It’s tough to have a revolution while supporting the status quo.  ...."Because Obama is the most divisive figure in American politics today.

"I suspect that sentence reads funny to some people because in the mainstream press, “divisive” is usually a term reserved for “conservatives we disagree with.” But as a factual matter it can apply to anybody who is, well, divisive.
"Obviously, Obama divides the right and left. That’s not all that interesting or relevant (even if it does represent a failure to live up to his “one America” rhetoric from 2008)."....

Obama, the Destructive Divider

Newsmax: Rep. Ryan Says Obama's Class Rhetoric Weakens America  "“You know, it’s really disappointing, actually — I don’t enjoy doing this because he gave us a message of hope three years ago, of uniting and not dividing,” Ryan said. “And what we’re getting [is] class warfare. We’re getting very polarizing rhetoric that puts class against class, pits people against one another.
"“And I would simply say sowing social unrest and class resentment does not make America stronger, it makes America weaker,” he said. “It strikes me as an ideological thing — it also is a political decision I think he’s made — he decided not to work with Congress.” "

And it will only get much worse as Obama begins the racial rhetoric, and you know he will. If he is happy to divide America along economic lines, who still thinks he won't do it along racial lines?
Academics will then pick it up and spread it among the colleges with the willing help of news media and, of course Hollywood will do its part. It is not will he, only when? Wait for it.

Victor Davis Hanson: Railing Against Reality  "Unfortunately, political leaders — unwilling to risk their careers by irking the people — have offered few explanations for the root causes of all the various unrest. Instead, they assure us that Social Security is solvent, or that pensions and wages can remain sacrosanct, or that billionaires and millionaires are alone culpable. Sometimes they exploit race and class divisions in lieu of explaining 21st-century realities."

John W. Lillpop: Obama Cavorts with "Haves" in Tinsel Town: Whither ‘Occupy Hollywood’ Vigilantes?   "In the midst of the most serious wealth gap between “Haves” and Have nots” in U.S. history, one would expect America’s self-proclaimed “Middle Class Warrior” to spend his time in venues like East Los Angeles, Watts , or perhaps Bell, where poverty and the “Have Not” status are proudly displayed as a badge of honor."
 
Another by Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Target List ; While calling for civility, Obama demonizes everyone in sight.

"Yet lecturing, demonizing, and caricaturing are not just symptoms of narcissism or being socially dense, but are also a revelation that Obama feels that he can say almost anything he wants, with the expectation — always borne out in the past — of few consequences."

Alan Caruba: President Kill-Joy

Warning Signs  "“We have lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge,” said President Obama at a recent fundraiser in San Francisco."....

"What is the difference between those great construction projects and the building of the Freedom Tower that has now passed a decade in the effort to replace the destroyed Twin Towers? The answer is government at all levels from federal to local makes such projects difficult because of a matrix of laws and regulations, mostly environmental, that slow all enterprises in America today."

....
"I could go on but, as they say, the facts speak for themselves and, unfortunately, President Obama just keeps speaking and speaking and speaking about himself."


This is not the Democrat Party of John Kennedy. Not any more.
No....we can't.

OWS Irony of the Day: Self-Loathing in the Kitchen Serving the Lower 99% 98%

The Powers That Be  "The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday — because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters."

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Empty Apologetics

Victor Davis Hanson  "Apologizing for the sins of long-dead others, in psychological fashion, obviates the need for present contrition for one’s own personal shortcomings. For example, Obama blasts past racism, but to this day has never apologized for subsidizing, by attendance and tithes, the abject racist and anti-Semite Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is easier for Obama to apologize for America’s action in World War II than to apologize because as an irresponsible youth (“teenage boys are frequently confused”), he used cocaine (“maybe a little blow”) — a felonious practice that has long subsidized the murderous Latin American drug cartels. To cast stones at the dead, one must first be free of sin while alive.

The Obama Bow-O-Meter:

"In short, anytime an American president offers apologies for supposed transgressions in his nation’s long distant past, it tells us more about the apologizer than it does about the purported sin."

A Hollywood Republican comments on Democrat and Republican Strategies

Democratic Strategy  "The left is doing a scorch earth campaign and this campaign will continue beyond   the election.  This campaign will be based on the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign and the 2002 California election as the Democrats will target Republicans while Republicans are vying against each other during the primary.  It will also combined the tactics of Democrats and their union allies in Wisconsin, in which protestors hit the street, unions threatens businesses to support them or else face boycotts and forced recall elections against a sitting State Supreme Court justices and Republican Senators."

 Republican Strategy for 2012  "The second thing is to move into the minority communities with a campaign that features how liberal policy has failed them. This will do two things, lower voter turnout by removing the fear of Republicans and peel a few extra votes which will prove decisive in key battleground state. The Democrat’s strategy is to design a spike campaign to try to overwhelm Republican voters in key battleground states and a proper Republican response will be instrumental in dampening this key part of Democratic strategy."

(UPDATED) PATRIOT CEO TAKES ON THE FLEA PARTY OWS

Freedom Fighter's Journal  " The long-time financial industry executive and radio host asked the protesters what they felt was a fair percentage for him to be taxed. None seemed to provide a clear answer, but were intent on telling Schiff that the Bush tax cuts need to be abolished. Schiff then attempted to explain to the demonstrators that, if the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, he would end up paying more than 50 percent to the government in taxes. Is “that fair?” he asked. The protesters simply stayed on course, reiterating that Schiff and all those in the “1%“ need to ”pay their fair share.”
"Schiff provides a good example of what happens when “the 99%” are confronted with legitimate questions about taxes, entrepreneurship, employment, and giving back to society."

Buncha skulls full of mush as Rush would say.

Speaking of which, lets take a look at Academia and the Flea party:  "“Economists whose recent works have decried income inequality have informed the movement’s critiques of capitalism.” They include Hardt, a professor of literature at Duke, and Antonio Negri, former professor of political science at the University of Padua. “They have anticipated some of the central issues raised by the protests,” Berrett notes. “Most recently, they linked the actions in New York and other American cities to previous demonstrations in Spain, Cairo’s Tahrir Square, and in Athens, among other places.”"
