Did the hate filled liberals appologize for their hate speech blaming conservatives for the Kentucky suicide?

admin — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 02:04:37 +0000

When news broke in September that a census worker had been found hanged Wire Transfer Solera National Bank in rural Kentucky with the word "fed" scrawled across his bare chest, a number of liberal commentators suggested that anti-government sentiment whipped up by conservative activists had inspired a heinous crime.

Now it turns out to have been a suicide, but the mistaken impression of the commentators was no accident.

Kentucky State Police announced Tuesday that William Sparkman Jr. staged his death to look like a homicide motivated by hatred toward the federal government in hopes that his family would be able to collect on his life insurance.

Shortly after Mr. Sparkman’s death, there were attempts to blame the political climate fostered by Fox News commentator Glenn Beck; Rep. Michele Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, and other conservatives.

In a blog post from September titled "No Suicide," the Atlantic magazine’s Andrew Sullivan wrote "the most worrying possibility – that this is Southern populist terrorism, whipped up by the GOP and its Fox and talk radio cohorts – remains real. We’ll see."

At his site Tuesday night, Mr. Sullivan wrote, among other things, that "although I clearly suspected foul play and believed it wasn’t suicide, I drew no firm conclusions about the actual perpetrators of this act. In every post, I made sure readers knew that the investigation was ongoing, and we did not yet know the full facts."

Neither Mr. Sullivan nor the magazine returned e-mail messages from The Washington Times seeking comment.

Mr. Sullivan and some other bloggers made it clear in earlier posts that Mr. Sparkman’s death could have been the result of him stumbling across drug dealers as part of his duties as a part-time census worker. But they also theorized that Mrs. Bachmann’s criticism of the census, which she discussed on Mr. Beck’s show, may have motivated the apparent homicide.

Erick Watts is even slower than Big Show, and he is not that big by WWE standards.

Do you think that Obamacare will end up in the United States Supreme Court?

Napolitano: Supreme Court to Strike Down Obamacare
Friday, 26 Mar 2010 06:32 PM Article Font Size
By: David A. Patten

President Barack Obama is one of the worst presidents ever in terms of respecting constitutional limitations on government, and the states suing the federal government over healthcare reform "have a pretty strong case" and are likely to prevail, according to author and judicial analyst Andrew P. Napolitano.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV’s Ashley Martella, Napolitano says the president’s healthcare reforms amount to "commandeering" the state legislatures for federal purposes, which the Supreme Court has forbidden as unconstitutional.

"The Constitution does not authorize the Congress to regulate the state governments," Napolitano says. "Nevertheless, in this piece of legislation, the Congress has told the state governments that they must modify their regulation of certain areas of healthcare, they must surrender their regulation of other areas of healthcare, and they must spend state taxpayer-generated dollars in a way that the Congress wants it done.

Special: Do You Back Obama’s Healthcare Plan? Vote Here Now!

"That’s called commandeering the legislature," he says. "That’s the Congress taking away the discretion of the legislature with respect to regulation, and spending taxpayer dollars. That’s prohibited in a couple of Supreme Court cases. So on that argument, the attorneys general have a pretty strong case and I think they will prevail.”

Napolitano, author of his just-released “Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History” and a Fox News senior judicial analyst, is the youngest Superior Court judge ever to attain lifetime tenure in the state of New Jersey. He served on the bench from 1987 to 1995.

Napolitano tells Newsmax that the longstanding precedent of state regulation of the healthcare industry makes the new federal regulations that much more problematic.

"The Supreme Court has ruled that in areas of human behavior that are not delegated to the Congress in the Constitution, and that have been traditionally regulated by the states, the Congress can’t simply move in there," Napolitano says. "And the states for 230 years have had near exclusive regulation over the delivery of healthcare. The states license hospitals. The states license medications. The states license healthcare providers whether they’re doctors, nurses, or pharmacists. The feds have had nothing to do with it.

"The Congress can’t simply wake up one day and decide that it wants to regulate this. I predict that the Supreme Court will invalidate major portions of what the president just signed into law…"

The judge also says he would rate President Obama as one of the worst presidents in terms of obedience to constitutional limitations.

"I believe we have a one party system in this country, called the big-government party," Napolitano says. "There is a Republican branch that likes war and deficits and assaulting civil liberties. There is a Democratic branch that likes welfare and taxes and assaulting commercial liberties.

"President Obama obviously is squarely within the Democratic branch. The president who had the least fidelity to the Constitution was Abraham Lincoln, who waged war on half the country, even though there’s obviously no authority for that, a war that killed nearly 700,000 people. President Obama is close to that end of lacking fidelity to the Constitution. He wants to outdo his hero FDR."

For those who oppose healthcare, the Fox legal expert says, the bad news is that many of the legal challenges to healthcare reform will have to wait until 2014, when the changes become fully operational.

Until then, there would be no legal case that individuals had been actually harmed by the law. Moreover, Napolitano says it takes an average of four years for a case to work its way through the various federal courts the final hearing that’s expected to come before the Supreme Court.

"You’re talking about 2018, which is eight years from now, before it is likely the Supreme Court will hear this," he says.

Other issues that Napolitano addressed during the wide-ranging interview:

He believes American is in danger of becoming "a fascist country," which he defines as "private ownership, but government control." He adds, "The government doesn’t have the money to own anything. But it has the force and the threat of violence to control just about anything it wants. That will rapidly expand under President Obama, unless and until the midterm elections give us a midterm correction – which everyone seems to think, and I’m in that group, is about to come our way.
Napolitano believes the federal government lacks the legal authority to order citizens to purchase healthcare insurance. The Congress [is] ordering human beings to purchase something that they might not want, might not need, might not be able to afford, and might no

Who do you think will win the ACORN fake video lawsuit?

admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 01:02:52 +0000

One of the many victims of Andrew Breitbart’s ACORN video hoax has filed suit against pseudo-pimp James O’Keefe and pseudo-ho Hannah Giles. Former San Diego ACORN office employee Juan Carlos Vera, who was falsely portrayed in a heavily edited videotape as conspiring with O’Keefe and Giles to traffic underage girls across the Mexican border, is suing both of the right-wing filmmakers, seeking ,000 in damages under California’s privacy statutes.

Filed last week in the U.S. District Court in San Diego, Vera’s complaint claims that O’Keefe, Giles and up to 20 unnamed parties violated his "reasonable expectation of privacy" by conspiring to secretly videotape him and then posting the tapes on the Internet without his consent, causing him to lose his job and other damages.

The notorious tape featuring Vera — with his friendly smile and hesitant English — was aired repeatedly on Fox News and cited as proof of the most incendiary charge against ACORN by conservative Web impresario Breitbart: namely, that the anti-poverty organization was in fact a criminal conspiracy to promote teenage prostitution.

But as California Attorney General Jerry Brown discovered when he investigated the ACORN matter last spring, the actual meaning of the Vera tape was severely distorted by dishonest editing to suggest that he had agreed to help smuggle young girls for O’Keefe’s mythical brothel. To obtain unedited versions of the tapes from O’Keefe, Brown gave him and Giles immunity from any criminal prosecution under the state privacy statutes.

What really happened in the San Diego ACORN office, as Fox News and many other outlets neglected to report, was that immediately after O’Keefe and Giles departed, Vera called a cousin who is a detective in the National City Police Department to report the planned crime. Police detectives later confirmed Vera’s effort to local news outlets and to the California attorney general’s office. When Vera learned that O’Keefe and Giles were hoaxing him, he again called the police, who terminated their investigation.

"The evidence illustrates," said Brown when he released his report last April, "that things are not always as partisan zealots portray them through highly selective editing of reality. Sometimes a fuller truth is found on the cutting-room floor." And soon that fuller truth may be weighed in the halls of justice.

Is Harry Reid no longer any help for immigration reform 10,000 tea partiers vs 100 Reid supporters?

admin — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 20:12:04 +0000

After more than 10,000 tea partiers descended on Sen. Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nev., to demand an end to the Senate majority leader’s term in one of the largest political events in town history, Reid launched his re-election campaign – in front of a paltry crowd of 100 supporters.

On March 27, tea partiers flocked from cities all over the nation to the small town of Searchlight, with a population of only 800. Crowd estimates at the "Conservative Woodstock" ranged from 10,000 to 30,000.
The event featured Gov. Sarah Palin and a host of other guests, including 2008 libertarian vice presidential candidate Wayne Allyn Root, WND columnists Roger Hedgecock and Melanie Morgan, Joe the Plumber, commentator Andrew Breitbart and former "Saturday Night Live" regular Victoria Jackson.

The following are photos of the massive rally taken by the non-profit group American Border Patrol: Just more than a week after taxpayers stormed Searchlight, Reid launched his re-election campaign near the tea-party site.

Barack Obama condescends to them and to Nancy Pelosi, they’re "Nazis." This reveals what the tea partiers really are!

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Reid was cheered on by more than 100 close supporters.

The Tea Party Express issued a release Monday headlined, "Harry Reid humiliated in ‘hometown.’"

"We did it folks," Tea Party Express spokesman Sal Russo declared in the memo. "We stood up to the corrupt Senate Majority Leader and we showed the power of We the People."

Reid can be seen addressing his supporters and taking a few jabs at Palin in the following video posted by Fox News:

Later, when Las Vegas Review-Journal reporters asked Reid what he thought of the 10,000 tea partiers who converged on Searchlight calling for his defeat, Reid said he understands anger at government and Washington during an economic recession. However, he said he was confused about what tea partiers mean when they cite the Constitution and call for liberty, freedom and limited federal government.

"The people who are really upset don’t really know why they’re upset," Reid told the newspaper. "What do they mean?"

Fox News reported Reid canceled a scheduled appearance at a Mormon church Sunday because protesters threatened to show up.

So I love finding good new bands, Problem is I’m picky and lazy (yeah I know bad personality mixture). But I would love it if some one would suggest me some new tunes. These are some groups I already adore.

The Shins, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird, Edward Sharp and The Magnetic Zeroes, Beirut, Sufjan Stevens (Not Age of Adz), The National, The Arcade Fire, Anathallo, Broken Bells, Tokyo Police Club, The Dear Hunter, DM Stith, Good Old War, Midlake, Spoon, Stornoway, and Tame Impala. Theres a lot more, but I’m not going into them right now.
and The Mars Volta, I prefer no smart ass comments on my taste in music.
