Liars, Damned Liars, and Harry Reid (Updated with great irony)

American Thinker  "Deriving from legal sources like the United States Constitution, Article I, Section 6, this "safe harbor" to slander and defame shamelessly is known as the "legislative privilege."  At its finest, the legislative privilege exists to assure unfettered debate, permitting robust criticism of government without fear of being sued for tortious defamation.  However, Harry Reid does not embody its finest.  Note that Harry Reid, when speaking outside the safety of the legislative chamber, speaks of having heard rumors about Mitt Romney but never states outright that Mitt Romney cheated on taxes except when Reid is on the Senate floor, artificially protected from being sued as a "dirty liar."  Thus, he not only is a "dirty liar," but he is also a coward.  If the lines at Chick-fil-A are too long, you can always find at least that one chicken in the United States Senate."   (emphasis added.

Turban or not, these people could not be more innocent of what they have been accused by ignorant people.

UK Guardian; Sikhs say attacks on community are 'collateral damage' of 9/11

"Sometimes they call you a Muslim or Bin Laden. It's the way they say it. They are not fair to everybody," said Singh who immigrated from India 14 years ago. "But I have not seen violence before. We did not expect it. We are peaceful. We open our arms to everyone."

Sikhs reel after 'senseless' attack: We're not Taliban  "That turban has tragically marked us as automatically suspect, perpetually foreign and potentially terrorists," Valarie Kaur, a filmmaker who has chronicled attacks on Sikhs in the 2006 documentary "Divided We Fall," told the AP"

'Call Obama's bluff!'

Thomas Lifson;  "President Obama has now placed the documentary history of a presidential candidate on  the table as a legitimate demand. His stooge Harry Reid has demanded 10 years of financial documentation from Mitt Romney.  Wayne Root, who was Obama's class of '83 classmate  at Columbia and a Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee,  lays out very clearly how Mitt Romney can spring a trap on the Obama campaign's desperate gambit. From The Blaze:".....

And why should we, the citizen taxpayer, be more concerned with what Romney does with his money, and less concerned with what Obama, Pelosi, and Reid do with ours?"

How the Obama Campaign/Media Alliance Works    "So do you wonder why Harry Reid is going around telling everyone who will listen that he heard from someone (name not revealed) that Romney did not pay taxes for ten years ? I think it is because the new Obama attack campaign is designed to make Romney look like a slimy tax cheat. Harry Reid has no shame. He is a millionaire many times over.  
And the Media is complicit in all this.  "Anyone who doesn’t believe Obama is behind what Reid is up to, doesn’t want to. The media knows Team Obama is behind this, but won't say so. Because saying so isn't part of a sleazy plan that was formulated and rolled out in this way…"

Book details Obama's dislike of Romney

The Oval  "A soon-to-be-published e-book discusses how personal the presidential race has become. 
"When President Obama talked about Mitt Romney in recent months, "aides picked up a level of anger he never had for (Hillary) Clinton or (John) McCain," writes Politico's Glenn Thrush in Obama's Last Stand, which will be out on Aug. 20."

Obama, a person close to him told me, didn't even feel this strongly about conservative, combative House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Hill Republican he disliked the most. At least Cantor stood for something, he'd say.

Still searching for signs of class in the Democrat Party. Still searching...

Washington Free Beacon;  WH: Harry Reid ‘speaks for himself’

 

Pelosi: Harry Reid’s Baseless Accusation Against Romney Is “True” And “A Fact”… "Pelosi also added that “Harry Reid is a person who is, as we know, A, is a fighter, B, he wouldn’t say this unless it was true that somebody told him that.” " Emphasis added so you can see what Pelosi is actually saying; not that Romney didn't pay taxes, but that somebody told Reid that. I'm sure some Obama operative did tell Reid that. Hat tip to Weasel Zippers

RNC chairman: 'I'll triple down' on calling Reid a 'dirty liar' ‬ "The RNC chairman first made his "liar" comments Sunday on ABC's "This Week," when he said he wasn't going to respond to "a dirty liar who hasn't filed a single page of tax returns himself, complains about people with money but lives in the Ritz Carlton here down the street." "

86 percent of Romney coverage negative   "The broadcast networks committed 53 minutes of almost entirely negative coverage to Mr. Romney, and 92 minutes of "gushing" to Mr. Obama.

" "The near unanimous negativity of their coverage is as outrageous as it is transparent," observes the center's founder Brent Bozell. "It's impossible to look at the fawning coverage of Obama's trip in 2008 compared to the sliming Romney has taken in 2012 and not see a clear agenda on the part of the liberal media."

Aftermath of the Sikh Temple shooting (Epilogue added)

Who could ever have a grudge against Sikhs? Only a few idiots who think that their turbans mean they are Muslims, perhaps? One Sikh storekeeper was murdered after 9-11 by some simpleton who thought the man was a Muslim.
The killer was called a "right-winger" and so he may be. But I am what MSNBC calls a "right-winger" as well, yet I utterly condemn this vicious act perpetrated by a man with twisted, sub-human thought processes and I mourn for his innocent victims.
What makes me a right-winger is my fear of what liberalism will do to our once-great culture. Why this man is called "right-wing" I hesitate to say, but utterly reject the term being synonymous with murderous hate and ignorance; I've seen too much of that in the Occupy movement. TD

Wisconsin’s Sikh Temple Shooting: Despicable Liberal Political Ammunition?

"Salem has a very large Sikh population, and I’ve had the privilege of interacting with a few during my daily adventures. Every one was very kind, polite, and friendly. I heard about the shooting on the way back from my own, Christian church early this afternoon, and I couldn’t help my thoughts from drifting to my own church and place of worship. I can’t imagine a sanctuary being defiled like that. The fact that our local Sikhs are such lovely people makes it even more shocking that someone would want to do them harm."
...."Control the narrative. Stand for something. The moment the left starts to pull that crap, set the record straight and don’t shut up about it. That’s all for now, and God bless the families and friends of those who were killed and injured in this senseless act."   Generation the Great


Muslim attacks on Sikhs: Islamic Jihad against Sikhism   "Muslims believe* that Islam must be supreme among religions. Members of all religions other than Islam are classified as 'Kuffars' - infidels who must be humiliated and in some cases exterminated. Jews and Christians who accept the supremacy of Islam are dhimmis who are allowed to live in subjugation, although the Koran requires that all Jews must be exterminated eventually."
* Muslims who are serious followers of the Koran that is. I maintain that the more committed the Muslims to the Koran, the more warlike they are. TD

Back to the subject with an article corroborating the two previous links:
Sikh temple shooter said to be white supremacist
"Potok said there's no research showing white supremacists hating Sikhs, indicating that Sunday's attack was almost certainly an example of someone mistaking Sikhs for Muslims."

Shooter Identified As Former US Military Member   No, we cannot condemn violent, racist heavy metal bands because then we'd be accused of a racist attempt to attack Rap as well.
Better to attack conservatives and TEA Partiers.
You can be sure that news networks are combing this murderer's words to find any trace at all of words sympathetic to Republicans, Christians or the TEA Party.

Epilogue: Today, we are all American Sikhs   ...."Tragically, the turban meant to represent a commitment to service and justice has since marked Sikh Americans as targets in hate violence. Our family, alongside Sikh families who arrived in a wave of immigration after the 1960s, became American in law but not necessarily in the eyes of our neighbors. I was old enough to remember racial slurs and shattered windows after the Iran hostage crisis, the first Gulf War and the Oklahoma City bombing. Still, none of this could prepare me for 9/11."....
.... "But this time, something new happened: The whole nation paid attention. Thousands of people posted messages of love and support in the face of unspeakable tragedy. They knew that the Sikh community gathered to pray on a Sunday morning just like millions in churches across the country. They knew that the terrible loss of life so recently after the shootings in Aurora shocks the conscience and violates our deepest values. They knew that this is not a Sikh tragedy but an American tragedy."

We Should Have Kept Our Heads Down Rather Than Support Chick-fil-A

PJ Lifestyle   If we stay quiet and don't move, will they still think we hate them? 

There are lots of other examples. Read about the aftermath of OWS occupations around the country and look at the photos [there is a collection of such photos at the PJ Tatler] and contrast those with the Tea Party rallies. Then tell me which we should fear: the lawless mob who confiscates public property and yells “burn it down, eat the rich, and seize their money,” or the people who say “could we please enforce our laws and Constitutional limitations, stop spending money we don’t have, and elect officials who will support these principles” and then pick up their trash and go back to work?   Leslie Loftis

Whom do you meet today that knows this man? Mel Blanc: The Man of a Thousand Voices

Jack Benny and Mel Blanc, whats in a name.

Many of his characters are considered politically incorrect today, so kids may never get to watch the cartoons featuring Mel's voices. In fact, I would get more sympathy today by breaking windows in a bank or calling for the death of any conservative than playing these videos, so what does that tell you? TD

So, what's a few regulations between friends?

“This administration has an insatiable appetite for federal overreach,”

[Indiana Schools Superintendent Tony] Bennett pointed out that the Common Core’s standards originated with the National Governors Association, and were intended for voluntary adoption by states. Then, according to Bennett, Obama nationalized the standards and has tried to use federal clout to force the Common Core on the states.

Los Angeles area Chick-fil-A vandalized with graffiti on gay 'Kiss Day'

"An article at Twitchy noted that liberal "tolerance bullies" celebrated the vandalism." "Chick-fil-A vandalized overnight with hateful graffiti. That's very good. I would have set fire to it," one person tweeted."

Sigh. 

What Obama Has in Store for Us

John Fund at NRO  "D’Souza, a bestselling author and the president of King’s College in New York, emigrated from India as a boy, and he says he understands something of how Obama’s exotic upbringing in Hawaii and Indonesia might have shaped his view of America. But D’Souza, a conservative, sees America as a land of tolerance and opportunity. He believes Obama “adopted his [anti-colonialist] father’s position that capitalism and free markets are code words for economic plunder. Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America.” That may be stretching things just a bit, but remember, it was the president himself who just told small-business owners they can’t take credit for their own success.

.... "But the film scores points by highlighting Obama’s bizarre reluctance to develop North American oil and gas reserves while encouraging developing nations to develop theirs.

"No one can really claim they know exactly what makes the president tick. But 2016: Obama’s America leaves enough clues on the table to make us wonder if we would be taking an even bigger risk in reelecting him than we took in 2008. After all, we’ve never observed the actions of a Barack Obama who knows he will never have to face an electorate again."
