Breitbart: “Wait ‘Til They See What Happens March 1st”. Breitbart died hours before planned release of damning Obama footage

He'll get flowers and a dead fish from Obama.
Infowars  "In a stunning coincidence, It appears Andrew Breitbart suffered his untimely death just hours before he was set to release damning video footage that could have sunk Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign."
...."As we reported yesterday, Breitbart spoke of his intention to release the tape during his CPAC speech last month. The footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. Observers had speculated that the footage could have derailed Obama’s hopes for a second term.
"“I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out,” said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted."

With Breitbart gone, what becomes of his empire?  "He used his websites to promote a hidden-camera video with actors posing as customers that led the downfall of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. He posted explicit photos of former Rep. Anthony Weiner that caused the New York congressman eventually to resign, but an edited video caused former U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod to resign over since-reversed perceptions she was a racist."
..."Breitbart seldom showed restraint with critics and seemed to savor the negative attention his antics earned him. He once told reporters from the stage at a tea party convention, "It's not your business model that sucks, it's you that sucks."
...."Breitbart traced his conservative conversion partly to the 1991 Senate hearings on Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court, which he considered unfair.   (Just wanted to be sure you saw this)
"After Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts died in 2009, Breitbart tweeted, "Rest in Chappaquiddick" and called him "a special pile of human excrement." When critics questioned his tone, he tweeted they "missed my best ones!"

And Ensign Pulver...? Well,we're all Ensign Pulver now.
"Hopefully, Breitbart's special brand of journalism will live on in his many creations (Breitbart.comBig HollywoodBig GovermentBig Journalism, and  Big Peace)*, and his courage to speak out in defense of our country and our Constitution will continue to be expressed by the millions of people he reached on a daily basis.
"He was one of a kind, and he will be terribly missed."

The Lorax: Candy-Colored Radical Environmental Castor Oil

PJ Lifestyle  "With The Loraxthe entertainment industry and the federal government have joined forces to produce a candy-colored dollop of castor-oil. This woeful would-be message movie is about as jaw-dropping as a notable previous Potomac/Pacific joint effort — the pro-Stalin film Mission to Moscow ordered up by Franklin Roosevelt in 1943."

"Dr. Seuss’ Lorax is a furry orange forest gnome who carries an overt anti-industry, anti-capitalist, pro-environmentalism theme, and in an effort to look as though they practice what they preach the backers of the film have lined up deals with supposedly green and eco-friendly outfits such as the detergent maker Seventh Generation, which is hawking a Lorax-branded bottle made of recycled paper. (Question: did anyone bother to measure the relative carbon emissions of making a plastic bottle versus making one out of paper, or is the overall feeling of groovy virtue all that matters?)"



"That is real. Not a parody. Not a joke. That's a Mazda SUV driving through a Seussian truffala forest. "  Language advisory and its source is the left-wing Mother Jones.


Breitbart's Big Hollywood;  The Lorax’ Review: Eco-Hypocrisy Leavened By Whimsical Creatures
"Parents who cried foul over the “evil” oil baron character in “The Muppets” will recoil in horror during “The Lorax.” The title character finds the cutting of a single tree to be an abomination, and the film rallies the woodland creatures to make it seem as if any fallen tree is a tragedy of epic proportions. And the film’s villain, a clean air tycoon voices by comedian Rob Riggle, is the epitome of how Hollywood sees corporations. Soulless. Heartless. Undeniably cruel."

WHY CAN’T THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION MAKE ITS CASE WITHOUT DISSEMINATING HATE?

Power Line   "Have we ever had an administration like Barack Obama’s? An administration that tries to benefit from pitting Americans against one another? An administration that uses its billion-dollar slush fund, not to mention the resources of the Executive Branch, to demonize private citizens who disagree with its policies? An administration that uses hate as an instrument of domestic politics? I don’t believe that there is any precedent in American history for the mean-spiritedness that now emanates from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."

This following article is a masterpiece of Obama analysis and, though lengthy, we encourage you to read every word: 
James Lewis pegged Obama way back in 2009:  Obama as Leninoid   "It was Lenin, not Stalin, who first introduced the Cult of Personality to raise his profile to superhuman status after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917."
...."Again, social democrats prefer to avoid violence, and in Europe  they often manage to do so by bribing voters, importing cheap new votes from poor countries, and the like. But the manipulative methods are similar: Leninoids always find victim groups, or create them, or import them, and then claim to speak on their behalf. That is happening today in the United States with illegal immigrants. These are not just accidents but deliberate policy.

Those evil oil companies and George Bush- look at the misery they have caused!

Every morning TD checks to see what Terrible Terrell has to say and sets part of our agenda by him. Today's TerrellToon takes us to the following:

The Hill: Obama campaign: Consumers ‘don’t blame’ the president for gas prices "A new Pew Research Center-Washington Post poll shows that 18 percent of adults surveyed say President Obama is most to blame for rising gasoline costs. The poll generally showed that the public spreads blame among a number of parties and causes." 
Talk about a Teflon president. With the press, check-stand magazines and daytime talk shows in love with you, you can do no wrong.

LA Times: Arctic Ocean drilling: Shell launches preemptive legal strike   "Royal Dutch Shell launched an extraordinary preemptive legal strike Wednesday against opponents of offshore oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean, filing suit against more than a dozen environmental organizations likely to challenge its plan for drilling exploratory wells in the Chukchi Sea this summer."
Newt Gingrich: Fire Steven Chu over gas price remarks "“If he doesn’t, then the American people will know the president is still committed to his radical ideology, which wants to artificially raise the cost of energy,” Gingrich added."  (Chu pictured at right)


CHU LETS THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG
"Obama hasn’t changed his mind any more than Chu has, as you can see from his administration’s actions. For the president, expensive energy that depresses all Americans’ standards of living isn’t a bug, it’s a feature."


Power Line: INSPECTOR BARACK CLOUSEAU INVESTIGATES "Gasoline prices have doubled on Barack Obama’s watch; the Democrats consider this a mystery that needs to be solved. The Federal Trade Commission, for one, has initiated an “investigation.” For those of us who lived through the Jimmy Carter administration, however, it isn’t exactly a puzzle. Michael Ramirez explains:"

Andrew Breitbart Dead At 43; Liberals Celebrate News…

Weasel Zippers  "Liberal scum celebrate on Twitter upon hearing the tragic news. (HT: Charlie Spiering)"
Quoting Washington Free Beacon:
"Economics and philosophy expert Matthew Yglesias reacted with glee Thursday morning at the news that conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart had died.
"“Conventions around dead people are ridiculous,” the Slate correspondentwrote on Twitter this morning. “The world outlook is slightly improved with @AndrewBrietbart [sic] dead.”

Jack Cashill: Do What Breitbart Did  "He started out as Hollywood nihilist and turned himself into a Tea Party knight errant.  His is an extraordinarily American tale of self-creation, one on which other young conservatives should and ought to fashion their own life's journeys.  If our Beltway allies had half his courage, Obama would not be president today."


MSNBC, naturally:  Cartoonists remember Andrew Breitbart  "Surprisingly, political cartoonists weren’t too kind to his style of journalism, but everything I read suggests that Breitbart welcomed his haters." 

Combating Media Manipulation: Just Say ‘No’

Barry Rubin  "I don’t understand — and I haven’t seen anyone even try to explain it — why the Republican presidential candidates keep subjecting themselves to politically partisan, hostile journalists being in control of their debates. These journalists have been highly partisan previously, seem to shield President Obama from criticism, and go on the offensive to try, for example, to turn the whole debate into the pretense that these candidates want to make birth control pills illegal."
...."It is absolutely clear that critics of this president, his policies, or the ideas behind those policies will be blacklisted and smeared by many journalists, programs, and networks. If the highly politicized media cannot ignore a person, they will try to make them look bad or twist their words. Why should people keep playing along with this strategy and falling into these traps?"


Can you believe someone would actually make this argument?


Romney ‘Shoe Shine’ Photo a Hoax, Left-Wingers Push Story Anyway   "The meme began from a photo by Getty showing Romney sitting in a chair on the tarmac with his foot up and a red-jacketed worker attending to the candidate’s footwear. The left immediately assumed that Romney was getting his shoes shined before getting on a “corporate” jet. This story was made up out of whole cloth because in reality what the picture shows is Romney getting his shoes wanded by an explosive sniffing device wielded by a TSA agent before being allowed to board the plane.


"The photo seems to have appeared early on the blog of the MSNBC smear show The Ed Schultz Show with the headline, “Romney Creates Another Job.” "

A Guide to the Liberal Mind

Victor Volsky   "As a great fan of Jeff Foxworthy, it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to use his hilarious you-might-be-a-redneck comedy routine in an attempt to characterize the liberal mindset (tweaking Jeff's formula a bit to convert it from the suppositional to the unconditional).  So, with apologies to the wonderful country comedian, here are some of the notable features of the liberal's mental landscape:"
Here is a small sampling of what the author lists in his article:
....If you believe that the 1st Amendment separates church from state, but not state from church, you are a liberal. ....If you believe that the results of progressive programs are irrelevant and that only good intentions count, you are a liberal.....If you believe that a decades-old drunk-driving episode in George W. Bush's biography comes under the "people's right to know" doctrine while the entire past of Barack Obama is protected by his right to privacy, you are a liberal.....If you believe that your choice of a car affects the planet's climate while sunspot activity doesn't, you are a liberal..... If you believe that the anarchists, hoodlums, and hobos who make up the Occupy movement are noble idealists who truly represent the 99 percent of America while the Tea Partiers are Nazi troglodytes and of course racists, you are a liberal. .... If you believe that the Palestinians sincerely want an accommodation with Israel and that only the stiff-necked Jews' obduracy stands in the way of Middle East peaceful settlement, you are a liberal.
Hat tip to Neal Boortz who commented: "Caution … here is a guide to the liberal mind. Here’s the article we covered yesterday on the program talking about how incompetence deprives people of the ability to recognize their own incompetence. To put it bluntly, dumb people are too dumb to know it"


(Updated) Breaking story: Two more American troops killed today

ISAF.NATO.INT:
For Immediate Release
KABUL, Afghanistan (Mar. 1) – Two individuals, one believed to be an Afghan National Army service member and the other in civilian clothing, turned their weapons indiscriminately against International Security Assistance Force and Afghan National Security Force service members in southern Afghanistan today, killing two ISAF service members.
It is ISAF policy to defer casualty identification procedures to the relevant national authorities. For questions regarding ANSF casualties and involvement, please contact the Afghan Ministry of Defense
"ISAF spokesman Brian Badura declined to provide the nationalities of the service members who were killed. "Those responsibilities reside with the respective host nation," he said in an email to Morning Defense."

From CBS: Afghan gunmen kill 2 U.S. troops
"Clark reports that, while the angry protests which drew thousands of Afghans into the streets in the days after the Koran burning was made public have died down, targeted attacks against U.S. forces by their supposed Afghan military partners seem to be on the rise.
While Crocker and Gen. Allen insist the U.S. mission continues unabated, Clark notes the prospect of increasing hostility from their partners in Afghanistan poses a serious challenge to U.S. troops - whose entire mission is pinned on the idea of living with and fighting with, not against, the Afghan security forces they're training.


Now wait just a pea-pickin' minute here. OK, we're told that Christians showing Muslims texts about the Christian faith must use  a clean, unmarked Bible or the Muslim will not respect them as serious and devout. We're told a Muslim will not hold a Koran below their waist out of reverence for the book.
What about when these books are manufactured? Don't they run off an assembly line? Aren't Korans packaged into boxes, loaded onto pallets and fork-lifted onto trucks for delivery to the local outlets? What happens to the truck driver when he rolls his truck and spills his load of Korans all over the Mohammed Freeway?
Just asking; inquiring minds want to know.


World Net Daily reports this:  AFGHANS: QURAN-BURNING SOLDIERS TO FACE TRIAL
"Clare Lopez, a senior fellow with the Center for Security Policy, said if the statement by the Afghan government turns out to be true, it would be an unprecedented betrayal of our men and women in uniform.
" “I can’t imagine we would ever do this, what would we charge them with? Are we going to try Americans for crimes committed under Shariah law? I cannot believe our government would go that far,” she said."  Hat tip to Don Standlee, Arlington, TX
Here's a great place to rerun this cartoon:
Koran burning: Cartoon shows Obama kissing tush of amused symbolic Afghan Muslim
In Catalino's recent cartoon, Barack Obama -- who of course regularly makes obsequious comments like "Islam has always been a part of America" -- is shown being overindulgent to an extreme in apologizing for the accidental burning of (U.S. taxpayer-funded) Korans in which Taliban prisoners had been writing incendiary messages.

[Robert Spencer, founder of Jihad Watch] "said that whether the soldiers end up being turned over to the Afghan government or face court-martial, either decision would set a dangerous precedent.
" “It would be unconscionable either way,” he said. “If they turn them over to the Afghan government for trial then we are endorsing the applicability of Shariah law to non-Muslims in the U.S. military. If they court-martial them then they are adopting those norms as part of the UCMJ*. Either way it’s frightening.”
"Lopez said that while U.S. officials have made large concessions to appease Muslims, turning the soldiers over to face trial would be over the line."  (Emphasis added)

Ann Coulter: The Problem With Santorum

Donkeyhotey
Ann Coulter "I also wonder why he's running for president, rather than governor, when the issues closest to his heart are family-oriented matters about which the federal government can, and should, do very little."
...."He genuinely does not seem to understand the Constitution's federalist framework, except as a brief talking point on the way to saying states can ban contraception. Otherwise, he wouldn't keep claiming, falsely, that Obamacare is the same as Romneycare."
...."He still could have recovered by demanding to know if Wallace was suggesting, therefore, that the Army IS a sociological laboratory and a splendid place for social experimentation in time of war, but Santorum just shrugged sheepishly and mumbled something about how that was different.
"The problem is not Santorum's conservative positions, it's that he can't defend them."

The Occupiers at it again: Rocks shatter windows ahead of 'F29' march


"Police said a second e-mail was received after the Key Bank branch and Starbucks locations were vandalized, which read in part, "wherever capital chooses for its bunker, we will be there to attack it in the night." It was signed "For freedom, for equality, for anarchy". (Warning: this e-mail contains profanity)"


Victoria Taft;  Five Ways to Minimize Damage from Occupy Riots:
"The violent children of Occupy are bankrolled by the unions. Who bought all those purty umbrellas you'll be seeing in the news today anyhoo?

"This is an anti corporate" (read: anti business) planned riot. Police should be watching these sites which unions and their Occupy useful idiots have been targeting: Dosha Salon, Pioneer Place, Chase Bank, B of A. They should have officers there PROTECTING THESE SITES."


Obama says, NO, WE CAN'T!

Obama: I’ll veto bill that will provide water to California’s Central Valley
"Once a breadbasket for the nation, the cutoff of irrigation water to the Central Valley has destroyed agriculture and tens of thousands of jobs as a tradeoff for the endangered fish.  Now, however, voices of sanity in Congress have begun to speak on the man-made economic and agricultural disaster, as Rep. Devin Nunes builds support for his Sacramento-San Joaquin Water Reliability Act:"
...." Late yesterday, the White House announced that Obama would veto Nunes’ bill because — I am not making this up — it would “unravel decades of work” on California water regulations … decades of work that brought California’s Central Valley to its current destruction:"


Chu to Congress: We’re not interested in lowering gas prices   "When asked by Rep. Alan Nunnelee whether the Obama administration wants to work to get gas prices to come back down, Chu replied that they’re not focusing on that — and that higher gas prices mean more of a push for the alternative energy sources the administration wants to push:"


Quoting Heritage: 
Sensing impending political fallout from the high cost of gas, President Obama last week spoke on the subject and attempted to deflect blame for the pain. He said that there is no quick fix to high gas prices and the nation cannot drill its way out of the problem, but as Heritage’s Nicolas Loris writes, the president ignored reality and dished out a series of half-truths. Among them, the president claimed oil production is its highest in eight years, that increasing oil production takes too long, and that oil is not enough.

By, of, and for Whom? The People and the Ruling Class

Chuck Colson   "But look at where we are today. The ruling class, increasingly cut off from the daily lives of ordinary Americans, has become an elites governmental equivalent of the Pharisees: “they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.” That’s from Matthew 23:3-4."
