Bubba is back and now he's got a Tea Party favorite in his crosshairs.
After helping lead candidates in Pennsylvania and Arkansas to unexpected victories in recent weeks, former President Bill Clinton is now hitting the campaign trail in Nevada to help vulnerable Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid overcome Republican nominee Sharron Angle.
And according to the newest Rasmussen poll, Clinton has his work cut out for him.
The poll shows Angle leading 50 to 39 percent. The poll was taken one day after Angle won the GOP primary and likely reflects a post-primary bounce.
Females make up the largest contingent of voters who vote Democrat, Does Harry Reid really think that he can pull independent women voters with a lying scumbag like Bill Clinton at the forefront? Does he really think that they've forgotten about Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and the host of other women Slick Willie has been accused of committing adultery with? And let's not forget that the guy was impeached. Clearly Harry Reid has got his work cut out for him.
There’s a lot to dislike about the feminist movement these days. Between the nonstop hypocrisy and endemic self-victimization, “Hear me roar” has been reduced to “Listen to me whine.” Now, a new first-person shooter game, “Hey Baby,” gives women the opportunity to virtually kill men who sexually harass them. Is this … feminism?
“Ever had one of those seemingly endless days?” the promotional copy for “Hey Baby” teases. “All you want to do is to get home… You’re the last one out of the office. Its getting dark outside…” From the shadows, a man catcalls, “I wanna lick you all over.” What’s a girl to do?
Well, since you’re packing a “a 3′ long .80 caliber machine gun that’s locked and loaded,” you blow his brains out. Apparently, “IT’S PAYBACK TIME, BOYS.” And how. The video game’s cover features a sexy young woman in a short-short white dress tromping down the street with a gun behind her back. In her wake, the streets are awash with blood and the bodies of murdered men.
Initially, some speculated the game was a 4chan hoax designed to make fun of feminists. In fact, the game was created by Suyin Looui and LadyKillas Inc. “I really wanted the violence to be so ridiculous and sort of over the top gory, that people would know that it was a joke,” Looui told NPR. Meanwhile, feminist websites are eating it up, deeming it “revenge therapy.”
Shooting sexual harassers? No doubt "Hey Baby" is a radical feminists wet dream. One can imagine the uproar over a video game in which you play a man who can shoot women. Why, it'd be culturally unthinkable, no matter what the circumstances were. Video games like "Grand Theft Auto" have already proven to be capable of making unhinged people go crazy and actually hurt people (i.e. Columbine), now thanks to "Hey Baby" women with anti-male revenge fantasies can take a step further getting vengeance. Only question is will it on the TV screen?
Yawn, Another hit-piece from the Citizen-Sarah-obsessed Left. They can't beat her so they have to continue to smear and insult:
These Christians seek a power that allows them to formally acquiesce to male authority and conservative theology, even as they assume increasingly visible roles in their families, their churches, their communities, and the world.
Palin shows them a path through this thicket of contradictions. “Within these circles, there is very much an ideal Christian woman model,” explains Griffith. “It’s an image that blends this kind of submissive, pretty, aw-shucks demeanor with a fiery power, a spiritual warfare.” Palin may say she’s a pugnacious jock primed to take on the big boys, but her family, beauty-queen figure, and glossy hair are her calling cards.
Of course, when you smack them with a bit of truth, they don't know what to do with themselves:
President Barack Obama got an invitation from an unexpected source to fly over the Appalachian mountains to see for himself, “the rape of Appalachia.”
Actress Ashley Judd addressed a luncheon audience this week at the National Press Club, branding mountain-top mining as "the rape of Appalachia" and called for a national effort to halt it.
"Mountain-top mining would never happen in other mountains in the United States," she said, referring to the Rockies.
The actress expressed her deep concern at the deep well oil disaster in the Gulf but added that the many years of destruction of the mountains of Appalachia, "the oldest in North America and maybe the world," was worse and called on the press to make that known to the American people.
Asked what she would do to eliminate mountain top and strip mining, she summoned "the press, the press, the press." All this should be on the front pages and on newscasts, she said.
If Michele Bachmann wants to be the Alan Grayson of the Right, that's her prerogative. But to be fair, can Barry at least finish his term first before Republicans start with the "Worst Ever" stuff? I mean Jimmy Carter was really, really bad...sure, Barry's on his way, but he hasn't arrived there just yet.
Here's why: Even before the controversy erupted over Helen Thomas' remarks, Fox was locked in a behind-the-scenes "death match" with Bloomberg News over who would next inherit her front-row seat in the White House press room, according to a source close to ongoing discussions over the seat.
Thomas's perch is enormously prestigious, at least for people in the media biz who care about this kind of thing. Fox and Bloomberg had previously made it known to the White House Correspondents Association that they coveted the seat upon Thomas's retirement.
While neither news org has lobbied for the seat today, out of respect for Thomas, her retirement is likely to re-ignite that "death match" between the two outlets, each of which have seats in the abysmally low class second row.
The WHCA is set to meet later this week to decide the fate of Thomas's seat. Thomas has been frequently absent in recent months, and the WHCA had been turning the empty seat over to whichever reporter was designated that day's print pool reporter. It's very possible the WHCA could continue this policy for the near future.
But eventually, the seat is likely to be handed over to someone, likely either Fox or Bloomberg.
Like night follows day the loons aren't happy about this news. After all, clearly Barry should only have to answer questions with a strict liberal slant to them.
Former New Yorker editor Tina Brown appeared on Thursday's Good Morning America to deride the mostly Republican women who won primaries on Tuesday as "wingnuts" and to sneer that they represent a "blow to feminism."
GMA's "Morning Mix" segment featured Brown and journalist Catherine Crier, part of a panel that usually includes reporters agreeing with each other over liberal talking points. After Stephanopoulos recited the numerous women who won nominations on June 8, the current Daily Beast editor dismissed, "...The only trouble with this one is, it almost feels as if all these women winning are kind of a blow to feminism."
She then added, "Women, too, can be wing nuts, is the point." Crier offered the developing liberal line that Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorini's business experience could now be a liability: "I think it's quite interesting that the whole CEO movement out there in California. Because, here we are with all the Wall Street consternation and, yet, they're touting their credentials as major CEOs as qualifications."
The first step to tearing down the radically-Leftist Obama regime is to be rid of one the wall of incompetency being managed by one of its top lieutenants: Harry Reid:
Sharron Angle, following her come-from-behind Republican Primary win Tuesday, has bounced to an 11-point lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada’s closely-watched U.S. Senate race.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada, taken Wednesday night, shows Angle earning 50% support while Reid picks up 39% of the vote. Five percent (5%) like some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
A month ago, Angle led Reid 48% to 40% but ran poorest against the incumbent of the three GOP primary hopefuls as she has for months.
Reid will try to portray Angle, a Christian conservative who drew heavily on Tea Party support for her win, as unacceptable to the state. Still, the race for now continues to be about the incumbent, who earned 61% of the vote when he was reelected in 2004 but whose support in this election cycle against any Republican candidate has never risen above the low 40s.
Despite their hotly-contested primary, Republicans already appear to be solidifying behind Angle who now earns 88% support among voters in her party. Reid draws 68% support from Democrats. Voters not affiliated with either party prefer Angle by 10 points.
Here's proof that President Obama has indeed ushered in a new era in race relations.
Who would have ever expected some white Americans to demand that an African-American man show more rage?
If you've followed the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, you've heard the complaints that Obama isn't showing enough emotion.
But scholars say Obama's critics ignore a lesson from American history: Many white Americans don't like angry black men.
It's the lesson Obama absorbed from his upbringing, and from an impromptu remark he delivered last summer. Yet it's a lesson he may now have to jettison, they say, as public outrage spreads.
"Folks are waiting for a Samuel Jackson 'Snakes on the Plane' moment from this president as in: 'We gotta' get this $#@!!* oil back in the $#!!* rig!' But that's just not who Obama is,'' says Saladin Ambar, a political science professor at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Some of the same people crying for Obama to show more emotion would have voted against him if he had displayed anger during his presidential run, says William Jelani Cobb, author of "The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress."
This "Barry needs to get angry" stuff is nothing but a deflection from the real problem: the consequences of electing a man with little to no experience to the big house. This isn't a time for poses from Barry, for him to play the part of being President. It's about him being the President people thought they were electing back in '08, which means being a smart, competent manager. A real leader. The day after 9/11, in 2001, George W. Bush came to New York City, stood on top of a hill where the Twin Towers once were, grabbed a megaphone and told the world that he'd make the monsters who orchestrated 9/11 pay. And he did. On the other hand 50-plus days after this whole BP oil spill started, Barry continues to talk a good game while looking incredibly inept on a crisis he simply was never prepared to take on. "Stunned" at Barry's lack of leadership here? Well, if you voted for him then you're just as much to blame as he is.
[F]resh from declaring “communism” as the answer to dealing with corporate misconduct in America, O’Donnell actually appears to agree that Jews should depart Israel for Germany and Poland, especially since (GET THIS) THE OVENS ARE GONE!
Rosie O’Donnell has confirmed that she wants to return to daytime television with a new talk show in the fall of 2011. The timing is considered significant because that’s also the time The Oprah Winfrey Show is scheduled to end.
O’Donnell may have her sights on the Queen of Daytime TV’s throne, but she’ll have to compete with other major daytime hits like The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dr. Phil and Judge Judy.
The NRSC didn’t take long to start attacking Barbara Boxer after last night’s California primary nominated Carly Fiorina as the Republican challenger to “Senator Ma’am.” In fact, this 30-second spot kicks off what promises to be an entire series of “Decades of Epic Fail” at a new NRSC microsite, with the domain name CallMeMaam.com. The website features a “greatest hits” compilation of Boxer moments over the years, including the one in which she tells a general to call her Senator instead of “ma’am.” The NRSC wants to give her back that latter honorific:
It’s a great spot, especially for a web ad, although it’s brief enough to run on television. The site is even better. It includes a timeline of Boxer’s political career, a flipbook of the same, and many other tools to dissect her record. Under normal circumstances, a long resume might be seen as a bonus on the campaign trail, but not in a year where voters are looking for alternatives to hidebound incumbents. Boxer has been in Washington since 1983. Maybe it’s time to send her home.
Sarah Palin batted three for four (with an asterisk) in primary endorsements Tuesday, and though Cecile Bledsoe's loss in Arkansas' 3rd District dropped her 2010 record in congressional matchups to 5-4, she's perfect so far in gubernatorial races.
If Nikki Haley (the asterisk) wins the June 22 runoff in South Carolina's GOP race for governor, that would further validate Palin's endorsement power. The former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate came out for Haley personally in mid-May at a campaign rally, instead of merely tweeting or writing a Facebook note, as she's done for other candidates.
And when two GOP operatives came forward to say they had flings with Haley, Palin stuck with her candidate. Last week, voters received robocalls from Palin urging their support for Haley, whom she'd also defended on Twitter and Facebook.
In two other races, Palin would be wise to help her preferences mend fences with supporters of the more conservative candidates they defeated Tuesday.
In California, Palin endorsed Carly Fiorina early in May and made robocalls on the candidate's behalf in recent days. After winning Tuesday, Fiorina now takes on Sen. Barbara Boxer in what should be an epic battle given Boxer's 28 years in Congress and the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive's deep pockets. Will Fiorina call on Palin for help in the general election? The former governor might be a hit with voters in more conservative parts of the state, but she could be a liability with independents.
Amazing when you consider how obsessed the Left is with insulting Palin's intelligence and/or making it seem that she's irrelevant.
During a speech at the liberal America’s Future Now! conference, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was confronted by a very vocal group of protesters from a group called ADAPT, who have previously chained themselves to the White House fence to demand passage of the Community Choice Act (Code Pink was also there, but uncharacteristically quiet).
The protesters weren’t content simply to make their statement, instead chanting loudly through Pelosi’s entire speech, even after she paused to allow them to speak. It was nearly impossible to make out what she was saying over the din, but despite pleas, and later heckling, from the crowd, the protesters persisted.
After her speech, Pelosi immediately left with her security detail, while several conference staffers engaged one particularly frustrated protester. Toward the end of the clip, Campaign for America’s Future Co-Director Bob Borosage expresses some frustration, but he also spoke with the protest’s organizers, and they felt it had been productive.
At issue is the Community Choice Act, which would give those eligible for government-assisted nursing home care the choice of having that care provided in their own homes. Pelosi supported the act’s inclusion in the health care reform bill, but couldn’t muster the votes necessary for passage. ADAPT thinks she could have fought harder.
Liberals once again showing their true colors. They just can't help acting like the ingrates they truly are.
LOL!!! Damn, that's embarrassing. But then too maybe somebody needs to remind Barry that the election's over. Talking's not only isn't working anymore, but it's putting people asleep.
It's not even about her liplock with Scarlett Johannson (an obvious stunt) as much as it's about why would Sandra Bullock choose to make an appearance at the annual MTV Awards, an event long noted for its vulgarity, obscene antics and utter debauchery that remains popular with the immoral, no-standards-having weirdos in the Hollywood-Left? Then too for all the sympathy Bullock's received from the public after her ex-husband blatantly cheated on her, what was the point in embracing the sleazy with a liplock with another woman? Granted, Bullock never asked the "America's Sweetheart" tag that the press has branded her with for years, but launching your post-scandal comeback with more scandal just makes it looks like Bullock isn't as naive as people like to think, much less just leaves a stain on her new life as a single mom.
Longtime White House reporter Helen Thomas has retired effective immediately, Hearst Corporation said Monday.
The media conglomerate had employed Thomas as a syndicated columnist for its newspaper chain. Her retirement comes amid a furor created last week by her controversial comments regarding Jewish people.
Thomas, 89, was considered the dean of the White House press corps, as she was the longest-serving White House journalist. She has been covering administrations since 1960, when she began covering then-President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family.
Thomas, had come under fire late last week when a YouTube video surfaced showing her saying that Israel should "get the hell out of Palestine," and that the Jewish people should go home to "Poland, Germany ... and America and everywhere else."
In a posting on her website last Friday, Thomas apologized for her remarks. "They do not reflect my heart-felt belief that peace will come to the Middle East only when all parties recognize the need for mutual respect and tolerance. May that day come soon," she wrote.
“ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: George, the truth is, that right now we have precisely the regulatory system that the Bush-Cheney administration wanted. Full of loopholes, full of cronies and lobbyists filling the very agencies they're supposed to be overseeing the industry.
WILL: So, it's Bush's fault? Just clear this up.
HUFFINGTON: It is absolutely a thousand percent Bush-Cheney's fault, plus the fact that the Obama administration has not really done enough fast enough to change what’s happening at the MMS agency and all sorts of other administrations. Not just when it comes to energy problems, when it comes to Wall Street, all over we are seeing the complete success of the kind of regulatory system that Bush-Cheney wanted and we're seeing this as the inevitable result of what that they wanted.
LIZ CHENEY: It's truly amazing. I actually heard that George Bush was responsible for the breakup of Tipper and Al Gore's marriage, too. I mean, it's incredible the extent to which people are now trying to shift blame....You got to look at the facts. The left is going to try, you guys have been for years have been demonizing Bush and Cheney and I'm sure you will continue to demonize them for years going forward. But we have got now, a catastrophe on the gulf coast, a catastrophe that happened on this administration's watch, which this administration is failing to clean up and responsive and lead, frankly. And it is a problem we are seeing with this President across the board. A President with no leadership experience.
Things must really be going bad for Barack Obama if the likes of longtime liberal journalists Mark Halperin and Jonathan Alter are comparing him to that glorious failure of a president - Jimmy Carter.
Appearing on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports on Friday to discuss the President's handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Halperin initially defended the President against his colleagues, claiming that he's gotten a "bum rap from the press" because he has gotten"most of the substance right" on the spill but because he has gotten "stagecraft" wrong Obama has "created this story line that he's Jimmy Carter."
Alter initially balked at this point, arguing any Carter comparisons were "too easy," but then went on to say the comparisons were "relevant" in how Obama is in danger of letting the Gulf spill cripple his presidency in the same way the Iranian hostage crisis seized "control" of Carter's in 1979.
