Olbermann Whines: 9/11 Too Painful

Keith Olbermann and the rest of the moonbat left have their panties in a bunch over a Republican 9/11 tribute video:

"I'm sorry, it's necessary to say this and I wanted to separate myself from the others on the air about this. If at this late date, any television network had of its own accord showed that much videotape, and that much graphic videotape of 9/11, and I speak as somebody who lost a few friends there, it, we, would be rightly eviscerated at all quarters, perhaps by the Republican Party itself, for exploiting the memories of the dead and perhaps even for trying to evoke that pain again. If you reacted to that videotape the way I did, I apologize. It is a subject of great pain for many of us still and was probably not appropriate to be shown. We'll continue in a moment."

We only wish you and your MSM comrades would show something like that. Admit it, you're upset that Republicans reminded everyone that we're still in a world war that you and the Democrat Party don't want to fight. Hell, you don't even want to name the enemy.

And don't hand me that "I lost friends there" crap to bolster what little credibility you have. So did I and a lot of other New Yorkers. That doesn't give you unique moral authority over anyone. Evoke pain? The video should of evoked anger and resolve over the slaughter of your fellow citizens. There were also images of numerous Islamo-Fascist attacks on us prior to 9/11. That should have reminded even an intellectual lightweight like you that this war started long before that day.

How many times do you think footage from Pearl Harbor was shown in newsreels during WWII? You do know all the war footage back then was promoted and approved by the FDR (government) administration, don't you? Would you have been against that?

The bottom line is that you don't give a rat's ass about the victims of 9/11 other than how you can use them to exploit your own political agenda. Talk about projection! The problem for you is that those images remind everyone of who the real enemy is and it's not George Bush or your own country.

Moonbat Theater

The Angry Left is angry because Bush called them the Angry Left. This follows the same logic as the violent Muslim Fascists who threaten to kill anyone who calls them violent.

Grasping at Straws

There's so many left wing pundits sputtering inanities over the Palin pick that it's hard to choose which to tear apart. Jonathon Alter makes that choice easy. Alter is a hall of fame snob who perfectly illustrates the true colors of a desperate Washington elite:


I asked a senior McCain aide on Tuesday: "So what you're saying is that Barack Obama is not ready to be president on day one, but Sarah Palin is?"

"Yes," he said with a straight face.

Obama won 18 million votes, faced countless tough interviews and emerged with a reputation for fluency in discussing affairs of state, whatever one thinks of his politics. Palin's vote totals for mayor were measured in the hundreds; she has served only 20 months as governor of a state half the size of Brooklyn, and knows nothing of national or international issues beyond energy.
No matter. The argument stands.

Of course the argument stands. Ignoring facts doesn't mean they cease to be facts, Jonathon.
I can't believe you're still making the same dumb argument with a straight face.

Hillary Clinton also won 18 million votes and Obama had to be dragged over the finish line by you and your MSM buddies. Obama's fluency ends when the teleprompter is off and he's only done one tough interview at Saddleback that he failed miserably. The rest have been softball games and love fests.

Only 20 months as Governor? Well that's 20 months more than Obama or Biden. As a native of Brooklyn, I can tell you that any decisions she made as Governor have far more world importance than what's going on in Bensonhurst. Alaska is also the largest state in the Union (geographically), supplies 20% of our oil (and a lot of fish), has more coastline than all other states combined and is within spitting distance of Russia.

When faced with the obvious question—"So does that mean that Palin is more qualified than McCain, who has never been an executive?"— Republicans (working from talking points) have an answer. McCain commanded a training squadron in Florida in 1976 (the fact that he was not promoted to flag rank afterwards doesn't get mentioned).

At least he had an executive position to not get promoted from. And a life and death one at that. Should we now promote two guys with no executive experience to the most powerful positions in the world?

The Republicans were speaking from talking points? Oh, the horror! That's unprecedented!

It will be up to the press and public to raise enough of a stink about this, that Palin is forced to submit to real interviews with real questions that show whether her real-life experience is any preparation for assuming high office. In that sense, the Palin nomination is as much of a test of us as it is of her.

Oh, now you're calling for real journalism. Please show us the column where you expressed such misgivings about Obama. By trying to denigrate Palin's limited experience, all you're doing is highlighting the fact that Obama has none to speak of. At least none that he wants to talk about with any honesty.

US Weekly's Amateur Liar Gets Crushed

This guy should have taken the MSM's Yellow Journalism for Dummies course before going toe to toe with a competent journalist.

Democrat Illogic

Over at Democratic Underground, we have a predictability popular race-obsessed post. If this is what passes for intellectual heft, then we're all screwed

Best statement yet about Palin -- One day on the Greatest Page ain't long enough for this!

"What's galling is this: When the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, minority teenage mother growing up in some (presumably Democratic) urban area, that pregnancy becomes fodder for lectures from conservatives about bad parenting, the perils of welfare spending and so on. But when the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, white teenager from some small town in a Republican state, that pregnancy is...a celebration of the wonders of God's magnificence--and choosing life! -Thomas Schaller'

The difference is that in the first case, we taxpayers end up paying the bill. That bill is compounded by the fact that in the minority neighborhood, out of wedlock births are the norm whereas in small Red State towns, it's the exception.

And don't even get me started on a comparison of marriage rates (Bristol is marrying the father) in these situations or the incidence of multiple out of wedlock births by multiple fathers.

Flexible Job Requirements

It's becoming very hard to take outlets like the Washington Post seriously at all when they print editorials with arguments like this:

"But the fact is that Ms. Palin has an astonishingly thin résumé -- mayor of a small town, governor of a sparsely populated state for less than two years -- for someone hoping to ascend to national leadership. The country will need to hear much more from Ms. Palin before being convinced of the soundness of Mr. McCain's judgment."

At least she has a resume'. If Palin's resume' is so thin, then what does WAPO think about Obama's complete lack of one? At least she's not running for the top job. She also has more executive experience than Obama and Biden put together.

That WAPO and the rest of the MSM continues to willfully ignore these facts reveals their condescending belief that membership in the anointed, socialist Washington ruling class is a prerequisite to be considered competent. Palin is the antithesis of the statist left notion that an elite, EU like bureaucratic brain should rule over the unwashed masses.

The fact that neither she nor Mc'Cain aren't Ivy League lawyers just adds to their shock and horror.

Obama Ally Slanders Palin's Daughter

Until someone proves otherwise, I will have to assume that the Obama campaign is behind the vile and cruel attack on Sarah Palin's teenage daughter. That's the rules of evidence we're using, right? Now they've backed off (sort of), but the damage is already done.

The Daily Kos is and has been intimately involved in Democrat campaigns for years. Democrat candidates routinely court its founder and his lunatic readers. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and other Democrats have written for the site.

If the Obama campaign and the Democrat party doesn't denounce and disassociate themselves from this punk and his gang of thugs, then we'll have to believe they support his slanders.

Democrats didn't say much when the Daily Kos suggested that Pat Tillman was murdered or when they celebrated the execution and mutilation of contractors in Iraq, so I'm not expecting much now from these hypocrites now.
