Obama’s Commie Blogger

 In the same week the Obama campaign quietly removed from its official website a page managed by a fundraiser tied to the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, its official blogger has come under attack as a “hardcore Marxist” for hanging a Communist Party flag in his Harvard campus apartment and publishing in a self-professed ‘revolutionary Marxist’ journal.

Sam Graham-Felsen, a journalist-on-leave from The Nation, joined Obama for America in March 2007 where he works for the New Media department as the official blogger, daily presenting the campaign’s public face. Now he’s under fire for his reputed Marxist sympathies from bloggers at Common Ills on the left andLittle Green Footballs on the right.

Graham-Felsen, according to a 2003 article in the Harvard Crimson, adorned one corner of his shared student apartment with “a Communist Party flag … bought on their trip to Russia the summer after sophomore year.”

The revelation echoes an earlier public relations problem in February when a Houston Fox TV affiliate captured images of a volunteer in an Obama campaign office working in front of a flag featuring the image of Che Guevara, the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro’s executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba.

At that time, the Obama campaign issued a statement calling the flag “inappropriate” and noting that the office where it was displayed was funded by “volunteers” and was not the official campaign headquarters.

Graham-Felsen, however, is not a volunteer, but a staff member according toinformation published on the Huffington Post taken from the Obama for America campaign 2007 second quarter report.

In 2003, Graham-Felsen participated in a labor march in France that Associated Press reported ended in violent riots…

Georges St. Pierre reclaims the UFC world title!

 

 Never, at any point in history, had a crowd (of ANY size) booed as loud as the crowd in Montreal did when Matt Serra pushed through the crowd to the octagon to defend his title against the sensational Georges St. Pierre. It was so bad that numerous bodyguards had to escort Serra to the ring to prevent him from being knocked out before the fight could start. Once the fight was over - while addressing the crowds - St. Pierre had to ask them not to kill him. 

And the fight was pretty much all Georges St. Pierre. Six seconds into the fight he dropped Serra flat on his back. And Serra was supposedly some ground-game master. Tell that to St. Pierre. The whole fight took place on the ground with GSP in charge.

That’s right. Stating that Serra was a “gentleman” and a “good sport” Georges St. Pierre did Matt Serra a favor and ask his fans not to kill him. Of course, all the comments about Serra being a gentleman and a good sport were false and simply intended to console Serra.

By the way, Serra was given two hideously black eyes in front of a crowd of 21,000 GSP fans. Oh wait. There were two dudes up in the stands waving a NY flag for Serra. St. Pierre should have ask his fans not to kill them either. I’ll have to check the headlines when I wake up.

Tancredo to Pope: Bug off!

 Rep. Tom Tancredo – who vied for the Republican presidential nomination to make illegal immigration a priority issue – suggested in a House speech yesterday that Pope Benedict XVI is encouraging Latin Americans to come to the U.S. to bolster flagging membership in the Catholic Church.

The pontiff, asked by reporters on his flight to the U.S. Tuesday if he would address Hispanic immigration, said the U.S. must do “everything possible to fight … all forms of violence so that immigrants may lead dignified lives.”

About 40 percent of the 70 million Catholics in the U.S. are Hispanic…

Tancredo, a former Catholic, told House colleagues, “I would like to know what part of our lax immigration policy is considered ‘violent.’ I fail to see how accepting more refugees than any other nation while providing free health care, free education, free housing and free social service benefits to millions of illegal aliens in this country is any way ‘degrading’ to them or ‘undignified.’”

…and we have consensus!

 

It was quite humorous that in yesterday’s Democratic debate both Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama agreed that the other could be John McCain. 

I was just left thinking, “Wow. That was profound. Who couldn’t beat McCain?”

Ron Paul on Steroids.

He is Ron Paul on steroids. Instead of a Libertarian turned Republican - He is a Republican turned Libertarian. He advocates not only abolishing the income tax but additionally repealing the 16th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

Don’t get me wrong. He has some brilliant ideas and principled ideals. But it is pretty funny what a Ron Paul copycat he is. Seriously. Go look at his website - it looks exactly like Ron Paul’s. Even down to the flash file they used to track donations. His url is a Ron Paul knock-off. Instead of www.ronpaul2008.com, it’s www.bobbarr2008.com.

That’s right, his name is Bob Barr. He is Man’s…uh - I mean the Libertarian Party’s best hope for peace. They say he has a better chance than Paul - owing to the fact that his name isn’t two first names.

Preach it brutha!

Jack Cafferty has guts. That’s all that I can say. And I appreciate that. The man is made of more than most in his profession.

Now other news sources are saying, “CNN was forced to apologize”. Hogwash. Why not let the man talk.

Let me back up. Today, news commentator Jack Cafferty called the Chinese as a “bunch of goons and thugs”.

Jack Cafferty made the comments on April 9 on CNN’s, “The Situation Room”, in which he also described Chinese products as “junk“.

In a statement, CNN said: “It was not Mr. Cafferty’s nor CNN’s intent to cause offence to the Chinese people, and we would apologise to anyone who has interpreted the comments in this way.

Cafferty was offering his “strongly held” opinion of the Chinese Government, not China’s people, the company (CNN) said.

So, apparently the Chinese got their toga in a wad. Jiang Yu, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign office, said: “We are shocked by and strongly condemn the malicious attacks on the Chinese people by CNN’s Cafferty. We demand CNN and Cafferty himself take back his vile remarks and apologise to all the Chinese people.”

According to a transcript posted on the CNN website, the famously curmudgeonly Cafferty said: “We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we’re buying from Wal-Mart.

“So I think our relationship with China has certainly changed,” he continued. “I think they’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they’ve been for the last 50 years.”

I’m left agreeing with Cafferty. Preach it brutha!

McCain Pirates Recipes

John McCain just got caught with his trousers down. Take a guess at what he was doing. (It’s what he does best) Yup. You got it. Pandering. To who? People who like the eat.

He had the brilliant idea to post “family recipes” on his campaign website. Turns out, they weren’t from his family.

The campaign Web site had featured “McCain Family Recipes” including Passion Fruit Mousse, Ahi Tuna with Napa Cabbage Slaw and Farfalle Pasta with Turkey Sausage, Peas and Mushrooms, all seemingly identical to Food Network recipes. Another recipe, for rosemary chicken breasts and warm spinach salad with bacon, was similar to one by celebrity chef Rachael Ray.

Interesting, eh?

The Huffington Post blew the whistle Tuesday on the pirated recipes.

Now the campaign came out and publicly blamed and scolded a campaign intern.

Recipes spiced up the campaign of a former GOP rival, Mitt Romney, whose wife Ann contributed Meatloaf Cakes and Welsh Skillet Cakes to Romney’s Web site.

There are no recipes yet on the Web sites of Democratic Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Another one bites the dust…!

Mary “I look lesbian” Landrieu has seen better days. Much better days, actually. While Democrats nationwide look like the next freak show, for Mary Landrieu doom is near. Okay, so I could go on - but I think you get the point. I think she is about to get her tail whipped and I’m happy about it. Point taken.

Why, you ask? Well, while Democrats may be the nations new freak show - Former Treasurer John Kennedy is Louisiana’s.

Get this: according to a Southern Media & Opinion Research poll taken recently, Mary Landrieu is polling at exactly 50%. True, Kennedy is polling even lower but his numbers can only increase. And Landrieu’s can only decrease.

Not only that, as of April 15th Kennedy reported having 1.62 million on hand. That is no paltry sum.

If I am Mary Landrieu, now is right about when I start freaking out. Marks my words. Another one is going to bite the dust.

“Arrest me…”

A California mother of five has told members of a legislative committee their plan to criminalize spanking by concerned parents would mean that misbehavior and rebellion no longer could be corrected, and she could face arrest.

Sarah Berke appeared today before the Democrat-controlled Assembly Public Safety Committee, whose members listened to her, then advanced the plan to criminalize spanking with any “implement,” such as a wooden spoon, little paddle, rolled-up newspaper, switch, belt or brush.

The proposal is a rerun of last year’s attempt to do the same thing, criminalize parents who spank their children, by redefining it as child abuse.

More Democrats frauds.

 

Elton John

 

A Washington-based public-interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption has sent a letter to the Federal Election Commission seeking an investigation into the apparent violation of U.S. election laws when pop star Elton John appeared at a fundraiser for the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

The letter from Judicial Watch notes that federal law prohibits any contributions, including contributions of talents and time, by a foreign national to any federal, state or local election campaign.

News reports after the fundraiser mostly discussed Elton John’s condemnation of the “misogynistic attitudes” of Americans and his belief that Clinton is the most qualified person to be president.

Those reports also estimated the event at Radio City Music Hall in New York raised about $2.5 million.

“Recent news reports suggest that Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton for President have accepted an in-kind contribution from a foreign national, Sir Elton John, in contravention of federal election laws,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a letter, dated Monday, to the FEC.
