More "Progressive" Kindness and Civility

More reason to vote Romney; we will not be intimidated by the left!
New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election; Buzz explodes across web
"The new threats continue to dominate Twitter and the vast majority make no reference to press coverage of the issue over the last week, illustrating the fact that they are a legitimate expression of how many Obama voters plan to respond if Romney comes out on top, and not merely a reaction to media hype."

There were others much more profane that we took out. These should be enough for you to get the picture.

I have seen little signs of class in Barack Obama and would be surprised if he worked to stifle the anger and bigotry in his followers.  Electing Obama did not do none thing to heal  the racial wounds in America; it has only left us more torn apart than ever.

Who are the racists now?

Obama vs Libya Benghazi attack: Chris Wallace explodes at David Axelrod  (Video)
"Sunday, during a FOX News panel with Chris Wallace, Bob Woodard(sic), of Watergate fame, inferred that mainstream media risked being guilty by omission in what may be a White House political cover-up of "Benghazi-gate." Chris Wallace agreed. In fact, he was so incensed by what appears to be a White House effort to keep Americans in the dark about Libya, that he finally exploded at Obama campaign senior advisor, David Axelrod.
....."Before the interview concluded, Wallace's eyes narrowed and he held up his hands to stop Axelrod in his verbal tracks. In steely tones of contempt, Wallace demanded:

"Wait, wait, wait a minute! David, wait a minute. This is the first U.S. ambassador that has been killed since 1979. Susan Rice came on this show, and five others, and gave the American people a story that turned out not to be true; and you're saying that we shouldn't discuss this! That we should wait for the investigation to be completed? That's what you just said."

.... "Wallace appears to be frustrated and incredulous that serious questions are being obstructed with word play."

Thought the VP debate moderator was bad? Crowley intends to go farther

Conservative Daily News  "Town hall debates are supposed to be led by audience members, but Ms. Crowley has announced that she will be pushing the candidates as she sees fit. In a series of interviews on CNN, Crowley has stated that after the basis of the question has been set, she intends to say things like, “Hey, wait a second, what about x,y,z?” "
....
"The audience members are picked by Gallup from a field of likely voters. The intent is to give ordinary voting Americans the chance to ask questions that they feel are important. Having a moderator change the tone or direction of the questions minimizes the importance of the voter and raises the influence of the moderator."

Forbes: Pants On Fire: Obama Scrambles For Cover As Benghazi Lie Explodes

"One of the most ironic and inexcusable aspects of the fatal Benghazi tragedy is that Ambassador Stevens, who after recognizing and communicating the special 9/11 security threat, was denied protection he requested. Yet remarkably, Vice President Joe Biden claimed during last Thursday’s debate that the administration was unaware of security requests. ....  But if so, why wouldn’t the president, vice president and secretary of state have been be briefed?"

...."For example, we might recall the Fort Hood, Texas massacre when Major Nidal Hasan screaming “Allahu Akbar” opened fire on a room full of Army soldiers on November 5, 2009 was dismissed by Obama as a random act of “one individual”. It was formally classified by his administration as a case of “workplace violence” rather than a terrorist act."

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama finally provide
a Marine guard to our Ambassador and compatriots.

Obama Libya story changes subtly  "Were the Obamaites worried that someone at the White House–e.g. Tom Donilon– might have been told? And that someone–Hillary?–might have proof? … Are they not worried now? "

American Jewry's cherished values

Caroline Glick;  "Decades ago, the sociographer Milton Himmelfarb coined the aphorism that "American Jews earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans." And his words ring as true today as ever. Surveys show that roughly 70 percent of American Jews intend to cast their ballots for President Barack Obama's reelection next month."
.... Glick's lengthy, informative article ends with this closing paragraph:
"The most disturbing aspect of the surveys of American Jewish voters is not that they are willing to vote for the most hostile US president Israel has ever experienced in order to remain true to their party. The most disturbing aspect of the American Jewish community's devotion to Obama and the Democrats is that it indicates that the vast majority of American Jews have abandoned their faculties for independent thought and judgment in favor of conformism and slavish partisanship. They have rendered themselves unreachable."

OBAMA'S #SAVAGE COVER-UP OF AN ACT OF WAR AGAINST AMERICA: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN BENGHAZI

Atlas Shrugs   "Despite the lies and blame-game of the Obama administration, we finally have an accurate account of what really happened during the jihadist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, from two two senior State Department officials. 

"It was, without question,  a full-out military attack on the US.

"The Obama administration knew from the start that this was a very well-organized jihadist attack. Blaming our freedoms, our first amendment rights for the jihadist attack, was a second attack on the American people (perhaps even more frightening) perpetuated by the Obama administration.

"The transcript is frightening and deeply disturbing. The Obama administration is at war with the American people, and Americans are dying because of it. This is surely impeachable. Romney ought to be shouting this from the mountain tops."

"The State Department has released a transcript of a briefing that two high-ranking department officials gave to a number of reporters via conference call on October 9." 

You should read it in its entirety; it is the most detailed description I have seen of the events in Benghazi on September 11.

While this is by no means clear, it appears that the State Department may have released the transcript as part of the escalating conflict between Barack Obama and Joe Biden and the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. In their desperation to avoid responsibility for the Benghazi debacle, Obama and Biden have pointed fingers in two directions: at the intelligence community for reporting incorrectly that the incident was a protest over a YouTube video clip, and at the State Department for not providing adequate security for the Ambassador.

Transcript from 9 October:  Background Conference Call With Senior State Department Officials....     ...."Barack Obama, meanwhile, was jetting off to Las Vegas for a fundraiser.  "It was obvious to the reporters on the call that this narrative blows Obama’s evasions sky high:"

Here's Bob Woodward, today on "Fox News Sunday," talking about the what the Obama administration has said about the Benghazi attacks: (Emphasis in the original)

"Well, why are you trying to normalize your security in a situation that's visibly unstable? You even acknowledge that."So you've got a bad policy. And anyone looking at that would say, wait a minute; we are screwed up; we can't normalize here."So that's the first problem. The second problem is, as soon as an ambassador is killed, the president should be more proactive and be out there. "

Ann Althouse adds: "Amazing that Obama was doing this on "Letterman" and "The View" — the day after the attack!"

This is terrible! Shot fired at Denver Obama campaign office (Updated)

9 News   "Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez says there were people inside at the time of the 3:00 p.m. shooting, but no one was hit."

I hate this. Let the left be the source of this kind of hate; they commit hateful acts day after day without press coverage, but this will be plastered all over the news for days. Worst of all, it happened during the day with people inside and the perpetrator did not seem to care who was hurt or killed.
I suspect the people who would be extremely distressed are those of us who want Obama out of office because of concern for what America is becoming under his regime. We want to win with conservative ideas and not for juvenile bragging rights as I see so many Obamites do. This sort of incident brings anger mixed with much joy at places like MSNBC and Obama campaign headquarters, where this will be thrown into our faces with relish.
The next few days the left will be fervidly searching for any sign at all of this loon being linked to the TEA Party.

UPDATE: Fake hate crime alert: Leftists vandalize Denver Democrat HQ; Dems smeared Obamacare foes

"I called out GOP fake hate crime perpetrator Ashley Todd last year and have documented a long list of hoax crimes across party, racial, and gender lines for nearly two decades.

"So, the latest case of so-called progressives vandalizing a Democrat headquarters in Denver comes as no surprise. And neither does the initial attempt by Colorado Democrats to blame “hate” by “the other side” and to shamelessly tie the crime to town hall protesters.  Meet the hoaxer:" Michelle Malkin.

Why we cannot trust the Newsmedia; Announcing the Winners of the Inaugural Walter Duranty Prize

PJ Media

First some background: The Duranty Prize is named after the "somewhat notorious Moscow bureau chief of the New York Times between 1922 and 1936, Walter Duranty.
".....  To review for those in this room — most of whom do know — for some fourteen years Walter Duranty, then the most famous and respected foreign correspondent in the world — also, as it happens, a Brit — whitewashed the repressive evil deeds of the Soviet Union....
"He did this whitewashing most prominently in the case of the Ukrainian Holodomor: the forced starvation of between 1.2 and 12 million ethnic Ukrainians, depending on whose estimates you believe. In other words, a lot of people. Duranty called that genocide “an exaggeration and malignant propaganda” in the newspaper of record.  ....
Newsweek's Lorraine Ali and the Ghost of Walter Duranty
Why do we call the New York Times the New Duranty Times?
Runner-up; Andrew Sullivan;
...".If you have any doubts about what Sullivan thinks of Israel, his answer came in a column he wrote only a few days ago: “We give the Israelis everything they ask for and they give the U.S. nothing in return.
...."The second reason Andrew Sullivan deserves the prize is for his neverending and relentless crusade to prove that Sarah Palin was not the mother of her Down Syndrome baby, Trig."
.... "Finally, we must also cite Sullivan’s over-the-top cover story for Newsweek on Obama. In his eyes, the president is a conciliator of the center willing to work with Republicans, but foiled by right-wing Republicans bent only on his destruction. He does not refer to Bob Woodward’s new book, in which Woodward reveals Obama as a chief executive who eschewed cooperation across the aisle and sought instead to implement an unpopular health care program without any Republican support." 
FIRST RUNNER-UP by Roger Kimball;  
"The selection committee of the 2012 Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity is delighted to award its commendation and second-place prize to Bob Simon for his supremely untruthful report “Christians of the Holy Land,” which aired last April on CBS’s storied news show 60 Minutes."

DURANTY PRIZE WINNER by Claudia Rosett;

The selection committee is pleased to bestow the Walter Duranty Prize for Journalistic Mendacity on reporter Joan Juliet Buck and editor Anna Wintour, for their... fearless dismissal of the truth in ... “Asma al-Assad: A Rose in the Desert.”
...."With Syrians engaging in rather more active citizenship than Asma, in her charity works, apparently had in mind, the Assad regime tried to suppress the uprising by killing its own fellow citizens — shooting, shelling, jailing, torturing, and murdering even children. Unlike in Duranty’s day, thanks to modern technology it did not take long for these horrors to hit the headlines. Vogue’s paean to the Assads was abruptly exposed as one of modern journalism’s most mortally embarrassing makeovers.

With instincts worthy of the old Soviet politburo, or for that matter, the Assad dictatorship, Vogue’s initial response was neither to apologize nor to correct the record, but simply to delete the article from its web site."

More on the Ryan-Biden debate

Gargoyle Joe Is Your Debate Firewall?  "Last night while showing off his expertise, Biden claimed the US is Israel’s best friend and that Obama and Netanyahu have personally met 12 times. Both are lies: Obama pledged to create some distance from Israel and the two have met nine times.

“Foreign Policy” Joe stated emphatically that the consulate in Libya had not asked for additional security, intelligence experts did not warn of an attack and that he knows from security briefings that Iran is a long way from getting an atomic bomb.

"Unfortunately Ryan failed to point out that Thursday’s Washington Post had printed the emails asking for additional security at the consulate and he failed to ask Biden if the “intelligence experts” who assured him Iran is a long way from the bomb are the same ones who promised him the Libyan consulate was in no danger."

smile-day

Biden’s whoppers   "Some of the whoppers are shameful. If we had a free press, one or more of these whoppers would lead the news until next week’s presidential debate. They would be deemed to raise a profound questions of the man’s fitness for office, let alone the presidency. I want to itemize four of these whoppers:"...

From Punching the Left; The VP debate was an ambush. 
"If you can't win your own fights, hide behind a bully." 
"And whereas Ryan was sincere and forthright, Biden, when not acting like a drunken mime, spent the debate lying about the Obama administration’s past four years.  He lied about Libya, he lied about the President meeting with Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, ”dozens of times”, he lied about Obama’s definition of “millionaires” – if you make $200,000 a year, congratulations, you’re a millionaire! – , he lied about Sarah Palin talking about death panels in their 2008 debate, he lied about Medicare, and maybe most appalling, he lied about how close Iran is to going nuclear."   Hat tip to Spencer Wolfe at Conservative Bloggers on Facebook

Podcast: Kristol Reacts to the Vice Presidential Debate
THE WEEKLY STANDARD podcast with Bill Kristol, hosted by Michael Graham:

Twitter frowns on Joe Biden's laugh  "Vice President Joe Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan were the two candidates onstage at Thursday’s vice presidential debate, but a third character emerged: Joe Biden’s laugh, which didn’t escape the notice of tweeting politicos"

.Another Poll Shows Biden Won Debate
"A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds respondents think Joe Biden performed better than Paul Ryan in Thursday night's vice presidential debate, 42% to 35%".

WaPo fact checks the vice-presidential debate.  One such:  “Prior to the election, prior to him being sworn in, Governor Romney was asked the question about how he would proceed. He said, ‘I wouldn’t move heaven and earth to get bin Laden.’”   Biden

"Romney made this statement in a 2007 interview with the Associated Press: “It’s not worth moving heaven and earth and spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person.”

"But Biden has ignored the rest of the interview, in which the AP quoted Romney as saying “he supports a broader strategy to defeat the Islamic jihad movement.” Just a few days later, Romney expanded on his remarks during a debate:"

“We’ll move everything to get him. But I don’t want to buy into the Democratic pitch that this is all about one person — Osama bin Laden — because after we get him, there’s going to be another and another. This is about Shia and Sunni. This is about Hezbollah and Hamas and al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is a worldwide jihadist effort to try and cause the collapse of all moderate Islamic governments and replace them with a caliphate.” (emphasis added)     Via JustOne Minute

Does anybody know or care that Biden lied so often and has been refuted by so many diverse sources? Certainly not the "progressives" I know.

Joe Biden’s Marxist Confession in the VP Debate (+ full video)

Well let me tell ya. My record stands for itself. I never say anything I don’t mean. Everybody knows, whatever I say, I do. And, uh, my whole life has been devoted to leveling the playing field for middle class people, giving them an even break.

"So, per Biden, egalitarianism, that is, government dispensing enforced fairness, is the essence of his political philosophy. And so, he really is something of a communist, the essential slogan of which is:

....From each according to his ability, to each according to his need!

Catholic Bishops Issue Statement Slamming Biden For Lying About HHS Mandate During Debate…

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Responds To Inaccurate Statement Of Fact On HHS Mandate Made During Vice Presidential Debate
The letter quotes statements by Joe Biden that include these words:

"With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it absolutely clear. No religious institution—Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital—none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. That is a fact."

Regarding Biden's statement, the Bishops renounced his words:  "This is not a fact. The HHS mandate contains a narrow, four-part exemption for certain "religious employers." That exemption was made final in February and does not extend to "Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital," or any other religious charity that offers its services to all, regardless of the faith of those served."

Thuggishness rising from Warren supporters "Last night Ross Hemminger, Youth Coordinator for the Scott Brown for Senate campain, was heckled by pro-Warren supporters at the Brown-Warren debate. A source at the event told me that the hecklers were union members who were oganized by the Warren campaign for a “stand-out.”

"The incident happened when Hemminger started chanting “Go, Scott, go!” on the megaphone. The Warren supporerts chanted back “You sound gay!” A few others chimed in “You take it up the a**!”"   

The Warren campaign apologized for the Democrats whose conduct was so offensive.
