Iowa deli co-owner caters for Obama visit, but his T-shirt tells another story

WaPo "And so the co-owner of the Village Corner Deli here agreed to cater Obama’s visit Wednesday — but not before donning a T-shirt blaring the message: “Government didn’t build my business. I did.” "
....
" “No one from the government was there when we were sweating it, when we were building this business,” Murty said. Before him was a bank of chafing dishes filled with smoked beef brisket, pulled pork, vegetable parmesan bake and cheesy hash brown casserole provided to the White House press corps covering the president’s three-day swing across Iowa this week."

Southern Poverty Law Center Website Put Family Research Council On “Hate Map”…

Weasel Zippers posts this CNS article with this question: Anyone else remember the media crucifying Palin over her crosshairs map after the Giffords shooting?

"The man who shot a security guard at the Family Research Council (FRC) on Wednesday was “given a license” to do so because of groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) that have labeled the FRC a “hate group,” said FRC President Tony Perkins. The conservative Christian group is posted on a “Hate Map” on the SPLC’s Web site."

Liberal Legal Center Equated Family Research Council To Nazis And The KKK Prior To Attack By Gunman…

How's that racial healing working out for America?

Big Journalism; MSNBC's Toure: Romney Engaged in 'Niggerization' of Obama  "MSNBC’s Touré, a supposed racial expert who can spot racism in most inanimate objects, most Yiddish phrases, and all English words, has now declared that Mitt Romney is engaged in the “niggerization” of Barack Obama. What exactly did Romney do to earn this reprehensible slur? He said that Obama, whose campaign has already called Romney a racist, a sexist, a felon, and a murderer, should “take [his] campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”"

Alan Caruba; Has Obama Been Good for Black Americans?  "In a similar fashion, I have had discussions with blacks who regard any criticism of Obama as racism and who ignore his record in office."
...."I believe Obama has made it nearly impossible for a black American to be elected President for a generation or two. I believe he will be rejected by the voters in November and I believe he will, as he has done throughout his presidency, blame others for it."

Former VA Governor Implies Biden Not Allowed to Use Race Card   "Former Virginia Governor Doug Wilder better take the boulder-size beam out of his own eye before going after Joe Biden's racial gaffes. I'm no fan of Biden but Wilder seems to have conveniently forgotten how he got maximum mileage out of playing the race card in the last presidential election."

Richard Butrick; Our Transformational President   "Now what has he become? A race hustler. A fear monger. A class divider. A character assassin. In short, a rabble-rouser appealing to the basest instincts of distrust and suspicion and fanning the flames of resentment, anger and retribution. It is all spelled out in Victor Hanson's article, 'White' on the Brain."

Artur Davis; Team Obama implies that to defeat Obama is to suspend progress on race.   "...the reasonable question of what drew Obama to a church with a history of incendiary rhetoric was cleverly converted to a teaching moment about an older generation’s fixation with race. When questions about the link between Obama and his old neighbor and fundraiser William Ayers started to burn, the line of inquiry was brushed off as an indirect method of raising fears about black radicalism, and it soon faded."

MSNBC’s Toure: Romney Is Engaging in ‘Niggerization’ of Obama  "Update: Toure isn’t just a racialist nutball. It turns out, he’s a Truther nutball too. No wonder MSNBC hired him."

What to do with Biden?

White House says Obama will stick with Biden as running mate
"Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign lashed out at Biden and President Obama this week after the vice president in an address in Virginia said the Republican’s approach to the financial industry would “put y’all back in chains.” Biden made the remarks in front of a racially mixed audience.
"Obama’s campaign has repeatedly said Biden was simply talking about financial regulation."

America's first black governor tells Joe Biden: 'Slavery is nothing to joke about.’
"He continued: 'The important thing I got out of this was Biden separated himself from what he accused the people of doing. As a matter of fact, what he said is they are going to do something to y’all, not to me. Not us. So he was still involved with that separate American."

Gaffe Alert Level Three: Joe Biden Press Shop Literally Trying to Edit Media Reports
"The controversy surrounding Vice President Joe Biden’s offensive claim that Republicans want to enslave black Americans has become such a concern to the Obama White House that the veep’s staff have resorted to trying to directly censor the news coverage about him. 

"In what is widely believed to be an unprecedented move, the Biden press shop has severely restricted access to vice president and begun telling journalists what they should write about his activities as they write them up."

Virginia Business Owner Says No To Official Visit From Joe Biden

"Why? Because of Obama’s “you didn’t build that” remark.  Apparently, Chris McMurray of the “Crumb And Get It” bakery is a man of principle…"

"...the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ”Thanks for standing up and saying ‘no’ — then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.  "Could be that they were just hoping to avoid the logistical hassle of having to secure the bakery and surrounding area before Biden arrived and thought that Biden’s advance team might skip the stop altogether once the first business owner turned him down. (Didn’t work out that way.) Would a small group of Secret Service agents really risk the White House’s wrath by saying something politically unhelpful like this? "

Boy Scouts and the ACLU: A War of Worldviews

Byron Barlowe at Probe Ministries;    Traditional Mainstay As Good Cultural Influence vs. Liberal Legal Activists with Social Engineering Agenda

"When the BSA lays out its broad yet very absolute requirements, the most prominent and controversial are a “duty to God” and a Scout’s pledge to be reverent.This in no way dictates which or even what kind of deity one’s faith is ascribed to, but it sharply clashes with the ACLU’s ideals of secularism and humanism. "....

"If you’re committed to seeing the next generation of boys walk into adulthood not only as capable young men but with their faith intact, Scouting is one of the best venues out there. Hopefully, the ACLU won’t be able to quash that."

BOY SCOUTS DEFEAT ACLU; Court dismisses suit to bar use of military fort
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit dismissed a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union to stop the Defense Department from allowing the Boy Scouts of America to hold its National Jamboree every four years at Fort A.P. Hill in Fredericksburg, Va."

ACLU, New York Mayor Defend Chick-fil-A Against Threats to Block Expansion

Ann Coulter; WHY LIBERALS BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO

Human Events   "With the country drowning in debt and Medicare and Social Security on high-speed bullet trains to bankruptcy, the entire Democratic Party refuses to acknowledge mathematical facts. Instead, they incite the Democratic mob to hate Republicans by accusing them of wanting to kill old people."
....
Democrats haven’t the slightest concern about who will formulate new remedies because they are enraged at profit making and suspicious of scientific advancement.
....
"The rest of us are forced to live in a lawless universe of no new pharmaceuticals, foreign doctors, gay marriage, girl soldiers, a health care system run by the post office, and bankrupt Social Security and Medicare systems, because liberals can’t enjoy their wealth unless other people are living in squalor."

INTELLIGENCE AND SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES SPEAK OUT AGAINST TREASON: COUNTLESS LEAKS, INTERVIEWS AND DECISIONS BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Atlas Shrugs  "Gd* bless these men and women who risk serious retribution. But they do, and they do it for their nation."  
* Not a typo; Jewish people who revere the name on God or Jehovah refrain from writing it out fully. They feel His name is too holy to be written out by humans. Ms.Geller, being worshipful, practices this as does Debbie Schlussel and many others.

"Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk."

SOCNET chat room comments

Shooting at a Christian lobby group in Washington, D.C., this morning. Check to see if gunman was a TEA-Part...oh, no, wait! What?

Hero guard shot thwarting attack at Family Research Council HQ


A suspected gunman made a negative reference about the work of a conservative Christian lobbying group before shooting a security guard.
"The Family Research Council strongly opposes gay marriage and abortion and says it advocates "faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion." "

MSNBC Devotes Just 17 Seconds of Coverage to FRC Shooting; Downplays Possibility It Was Politically Motivated
..."28-year-old Floyd Corkins opened fire on a security guard at the conservative Family Research Center, located in downtown Washington, D.C. Local news stations, including NBC's Washington station, devoted resources to cover the developing story, as did CNN and Fox News, which regularly updated viewers with progress in the investigation.   But MSNBC...." yada, yada, yada

UPDATE: FRC shooting suspect was volunteering at DC LGBT Community Center
"It has just been confirmed that Family Research Council shooting suspect Floyd Corkins II had been volunteering at the DC Center for the LGBT Community for the past six months."

LGBT ORGANIZATIONS RELEASE JOINT STATEMENT REGARDING THE SHOOTING AT FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL  I do not for a minute doubt their sincerity; we conservatives know well what to anticipate in the aftermath of every hate crime. TD

We were saddened to hear news of the shooting this morning at the offices of the Family Research Council. Our hearts go out to the shooting victim, his family, and his co-workers.The motivation and circumstances behind today’s tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence.  We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident.

Dept. of Irony: "Well, the haters are mouthing off before they have any of the facts. What else is new?"  Some posts in Broadway.com:

"Would it surprise anyone to find that the FRC had in fact staged it themselves?"

 "FRC is a hate group who today is playing the victim card.If there was a shooting at a gay youth center the FRC would be bragging that they deserved it and this was God's will. Feel bad for the real victim(s) here."

 "This is very unfortunate. If it was actually someone opposing FRC, then this looks very bad."

"Please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay please let the shooter not be gay..."

The "Obnoxious" Campaign

An interesting term used by Mark Belling, guest-hosting the Rush Limbaugh radio program today.  Let's check out the obnoxious ways of this Obama-Biden administration, shall we?

Biden on Romney: ‘They’re going to put y’all back in chains  Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul   said, ”President Obama should tell the American people whether he agrees with Joe Biden’s comments.”
"But Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the campaign has “no problem with those comments,” in an interview with Andrea Mitchell. 

"An Obama campaign official later told CNN’s John King that Biden’s comments were “not helpful.” "

 

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz Rushes To Clean Up Biden’s Racially Charged Comments

"Some Biden gaffes easily get papered over by the media. Others, like yesterday's racially insensitive remarks, are too big to ignore. And that's precisely when the dutiful Obama/Biden acolytes at MSNBC go into full spin mode, defending the indefensible."

Democrats Break Fundraising Records For Creepy, Annoying Emails  "The last day of the second quarter has produced a deluge of aggressive, frantic, panicked, obsequious and stalkerish emails from both parties, but two Democratic committees have really outdone themselves."

The 10 Most Obnoxious Quotes from the Democratic Presidential Race From 2008, to demonstrate that Democrats are nothing if not consistent.

Joe Biden Is A Clumsy Liar; Obama Campaign Approves.  Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter was asked about the comment on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports. Her verdict, which can be viewed here, comes as no surprise: I think [President Obama] probably agrees with Joe Biden’s sentiments.

Biden in 49% Black Danville, VA: 'They Gonna Put Y'all Back in Chains'  "The southern accent Biden adopts for that last line is deeply disturbing; it’s a clear reference to slavery.....This is race-baiting as its finest. It is despicable."

Victor Davis Hanson; Who Gets a Pass?

Victor Davis Hanson   ...."Farrakhan's hatred cannot possibly earn him ostracism. We cannot extend the anger at evangelical Christians for their incorrect attitudes toward feminism and homosexuality to the Muslims who often share similar views.

"Such selectivity is untenable. Classical Western liberalism was predicated on judging people as individuals — and on their merit and performance — rather than collectively as identity groups identified by gender, race and religion. Using illiberal means to advance supposedly liberal ends results not just in hypocrisy and cynicism, but in the current disaster of "Chicago values." "....

THE DIFFERENTIAL THEORY OF THE U.S. ARMED FORCES (SNAKE MODEL) - UPDATED 2012

Blackfive   Sorry guys; this one is guaranteed to offend everybody it touches. But I do love this excerpt about the Democratic representative (and Senator). Especially Senator.

US Congress Representative (D):  After initially voting in favor of anti-snake military action, suddenly realizes that the snake can never be defeated. Goes on TV and describes current operations as 'failed' before they begin and the calls the leading herpetologist in the world 'incompetent'. Pleads with snake not to hurt us. Then introduces legislation to re-deploy all military forces to Okinawa where they can more effectively engage snakes, world-wide. Then heads overseas to attempt to negotiate our surrender to the snake. Takes intern for 'support'.
