Biden Says Hillary Better Qualified Than He? Isn’t Everyone?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Everyone was shocked when Barack Obama dumped his claim to be the agent of “change” by choosing a status quo, ages old politician for his vice presidential slot. Many laughed outloud the second Biden’s name slipped out of the messiah’s lips. Apparently even Senator Joe Biden is shocked. Slow Joe told a crowd on Wednesday that Hillary Clinton might have been a better pick to fill the second slot on the ticket than he.
“Make no mistake about this Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America… and quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.”
It is looking more every day like this is the correct assessment. Even Joe thinks its true.
So, I just thought we’d take a minute to see who else is more qualified to be vice president than slow Joe Biden?
#1
Of course we have the aforementioned Hillary Clinton at the top of the list… at least the top of THIS list, not that Barack Obama has a clue. Who else could keep the PUMA’s in line, who else could unite the Shemale Manhaters club of the feminazi movement? Who else has been at the nexus of history telling Bill to put his pants back on? Hillary Clinton has for decades done so much for this country by having her husband pave the way for her. Still, at least she has a proven record of vote getting. After all, millions of people voted for her. By contrast a whopping 8,000 people voted for slow Joe Biden when he was running for president!

Obama Lies About Signing Up for the Draft
-By Warner Todd Huston
Barack Obama told another whopper about his storied life on ABC’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos. In one segment Stephanopoulos asked Obama if he ever considered joining the U.S. military as a youngster. Obama then goes on to say that he did when he was required to sign up for selective service in 1979 when he graduated high school.
One little problem… there wasn’t any requirement to sign up for Selective Service in 1979!
As Tom Blumer of NewsBusters.org and BizzyBlog.com notes, “Obama could not have registered upon graduation from high school as he claimed. His actually registered occurred roughly 45 days after… registrations took place in 1980. Obama’s statement, that ‘I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school,’ is inarguably false.”

Unreported: Montana Governor’s ‘Senior Counsel’ Not Licensed to Practice Law in State! (Democrat, of Course)
-By Warner Todd Huston
There is an ethics squabble going on in Montana perpetrated by the senior counsel to the Democrat Governor of Montana, Brian Schweitzer. It has been revealed that the Governor’s “senior counsel,” a man named Eric Stern, has been caught trying to “back-door” the judge in a case in which he is involved on behalf of Governor Schweitzer. The ethics violation is bad enough, but it has also been discovered that, even though he is claimed to be an attorney and the Governor’s senior counsel, Eric Stern, is not licensed to practice law in the state of Montana. This seems to say that Eric Stern is practicing law without a license, doesn
More Milwaukee Voter Fraud… Name that Party?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Milwaukee has discovered some more voter fraud with 10 more voter registration workers are being investigated by Wisconsin authorities. Fittingly, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel covered the story in its paper on August 29. Unfittingly, the Journal Sentinel forgot one, tiny aspect of the story… that the voter fraud was perpetrated by Democrats. In fact, one of the organizations, ACORN, is intimately linked with Barack Obama.

Obama’s Scumbag ‘Spiritual Mentor’ Strikes Again, Wright’s Newest Wrong Comment
-By Warner Todd Huston
They call this creep a “Reverend.” In truth he is an America hating, scumbag and his latest off-color comment proves that he is as far as being a man of Christian religion as one can be.
At the Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church in Houston, Texas on Sept. 1, The “Reverend” Wright, Barack Obama’s “spiritual mentor,” was talking about what will happen in the White House if Barack wins this election.
“This ordinary boy just might be the first president in the history of the United States to have a black woman sleeping at 1600 Pennsylvania legally.”
This is the same so-called reverend that said that God should “damn America” in a pseudo “sermon” that was delivered as Obama and his family sat gazing happily up to him from the audience in the hatemongering church in Chicago they belonged to for over 20 years.
This is the sort of creep that Obama surrounds himself with. Terrorists, haters, and anti-Americans are his closest allies and advisors.
How a man as unAmerican as Barack Obama has gotten this close to the presidency of the US is a crime.
NewsVine Suspends My Account Over Left’s Palin Lies
-By Warner Todd Huston
Looks like the extremist, lefties that run NewsVine can’t take the truth. My last two posts on the Seattle based website were about the lies being spread by Alan Colmes, Democraticunderground.com and DailyKos that Sarah Palin “faked” her pregnancy.
I exposed these lies for what they are and what does NewsVine do? Cancels my account to prevent the truth form getting out there. You may read the EXACT posts that I made mirrored on PubliusForum.com Here and Here. If you do, you’ll see that these posts do not fit the bill of outrageousness or profanity. It’s just that the NewsVine people couldn’t stand to have leftist lies exposed.
I have only had a NewsVine account for a relatively short time, but I knew that they wouldn’t be able to stand honest debate for the conservative side of the issue long. Just as I always knew they would, I was summarily cancelled.
Naturally, there was never a single email from the NewsVine staff to me of any “warnings,” nor was there ever a hint of trouble between what I was posting and the NewsVine staff.
Certainly some of the hatemongering posters didn’t like my conservative point of view, and that is to be expected for the extremist site that it is. But, the least one would have thought they’d have done is send me an email with a “warning” of some sort.
But, then, THAT would have augered toward their legitimate desires for open debate. And THAT is not what they wanted. They want homogeny of left-wing purpose. Like all leftists, they are liars and hypocrites.
And it really wasn’t like I was being profane or mean spirited or anything. After all, every post I made on NewsVine also appeared on RedState, NewsBusters and my own PubliusForum.com. I never once posted anything different or special on NewsVine.
No, the truth of the matter is, NewsVine ONLY wants extreme leftist participants. That is it. Anyway, it was amusing while it lasted, but I knew they couldn’t allow a conservative to post there long. After all, they aren’t really Americans there.

Stooping to Lowest Level: Democratic Claim of Palin’s ‘Faked Pregnancy’ Gaining Steam
-By Warner Todd Huston
**Update: TV’s Alan Colmes Says Palin’s Neglect Caused Down Syndrome Birth Stress!!**
**Update #2 Below the Fold- Pregnancy Confirmed**
**Update #3 Below the Fold- Michael Moore and Media Take Notice**
**Update #4- London Times Now Repeats Fake Pregnancy Claim**
**Update #5- CTV News Now Repeats Fake Pregnancy Claim**
As I reported earlier, the scurrilous claim that McCain vice presidential pick Governor Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with a Down’s Syndrome child is beginning to spread among the lowest of the nutrooters. Now, the unhinged, smear site DemocraticUnderground.com has boosted this lie to their front pages. Naturally, since these hate sites feed into each other, the spurious source of the DU story is another DailyKos story like the one I earlier reported upon.
Of course, this whole meme is nothing but a lie. Are we expected to believe an entire state, its hospitals, doctors and media establishment helped cover up this pregnancy story? And they all did this for a Republican, to boot? It makes little logical sense to believe a word of this black helicopter conspiracy theory. Next thing we know, the Kossacks and DUers are going to expect us to believe that Big Foot and some gray aliens were the attendants at the birth!
But, here is the thing. This hateful story about the birth of a child with Down’s Syndrome is exactly the sort of lowest, gutter ideas that float through the empty space in the voluminous heads of our friends at the lowest depths of the Democratic Party and the lefty movement. There are some sick, sick people over there and stories like this prove it.
Jack Cafferty Proves he is Stupid… AGAIN!
-By Warner Todd Huston
On CNN’s extremist leftist show “The Situation Room,” Jack Cafferty had his little cage shaken again to do his poor man’s impression of Keith Olbermann yesterday.
He took after Sarah Palin to desperately try and defame her. All he ended up doing, though, was to show that he is a complete fool by using something against her that can be used against his OWN favorite pick as VP, Slow Joe Biden.
Cafferty says of the state of Alaska: “Sarah Palin is in her first term as governor of Alaska that’s a state that has 13 people and some caribou.”
Well, isn’t that nice? To slam Alaska like that? But, wait. What about Cafferty’s pick? Joe Biden, Senator for… uh… what state? Why it’s that giant state, that land of towering population, the center of American Metropolises Delaware.
Delaware MUST be HUGE, right Cafferty?
Alaska population as of 2006: 670,053
Delaware population as of 2006: 853,904
Oops.
Yeah that’s a BIG difference there, Cafferty!!

Obama Campaign Tries to Shut Down Chicago Radio Show
-By Warner Todd Huston
Members of Barack Obama’s campaign HQ in Chicago tried to shut down a local radio show on the City’s most powerful radio signal, WGN 720, because they didn’t like a conservative guest that was on going on the air to discuss Senator Barack Obama’s ties to local terrorist William Ayers. This is a shocking attempt at stifling political free speech and a bald attempt to quash debate by the office of the Democratic Party’s nominee. The funny thing is, WGN is the most liberal station in the City with every host but one slavishly supporting the junior Senator from Illinois.
Show host Milt Rosenberg, the station’s only conservative leaning host (probably to be considered more libertarian than Republican), had on short notice asked conservative writer Stanley Kurtz to come on the air to discuss his work on uncovering Obama’s ties to terrorist Wiliam Ayres and the Annenberg Challenge project. Kurtz was just in Chicago for his investigation and Rosenberg contacted Kurtz only that morning to appear. At the same time, Rosenberg’s producer contacted the Obama campaign’s HQ — which is but blocks from the radio station in downtown Chicago — to offer some time on the air with Kurtz to debate Kurtz’ claims about Obama and Ayres. The campaign, however, flatly refused the offer of the equal air time and instead tried to drum up via email a protest of the show, trying to get it stopped.
After the refusal of host Rosenberg’s offer to appear on the air with Kurtz, the Obama campaign issued an extensive email (The Chicago Tribune has the full text) to drum up protests of the radio station, which said in part…
In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.
Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He’s currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and University of Illinois professor William Ayers.
Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of political discourse.
The email gave the Rosenberg show contact info and told people to call and protest Kurtz’ appearance. The email also lied to its supporters by acting as if the Obama campaign was not offered fair rebuttal time.
It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest rebuttal to every one of Kurtz’s lies.
I happen to live in Chicago and by chance was listening to the Milt Rosenberg show and heard for myself the host assure listeners that he offered the air time to the Obama campaign, an offer that was refused. Rosenberg even went so far as to offer any other show date for the Obama campaign’s rebuttal to Kurtz’ work.
Then, in compliance with the Obama campaign’s email instructions, a parade of callers was aired all telling Rosenberg to shut down the Kurtz interview. Each caller was quite insensible to the unAmerican reaction in which they were indulging and each one was entirely unreasonable and uninformed on the facts. Sadly, this anti-American attitude seems typical of Obama supporters nation wide.
Now, Dr. Rosenberg’s show is one of the most intelligent, even high brow, shows on the radio, so schmaltzy, exploitation radio is as far from his style as one can get. Rosenberg interviews authors of the highest standing and show topics range from philosophy, to Opera, to physics and political science. He even does a delightful yearly show on the misuse of the English language as well as one on the year’s best literary offerings. Like I said, exploitation radio he ain’t.
So, for the Obama campaign to act as if this particular show is an affront to reasoned debate is an outrageous charge. Just as outrageous is the Obama campaign’s obvious desire to destroy free political speech. It makes one quake to wonder what sort of oppressive climate an Obama presidency would impose on the country?
Big Three Networks Ratings Fall for DNC Convention
Warner Todd Huston
The ratings for the Democratic National Convention for ABC, CBS and NBC fell by a million viewers compared to the opener for the 2004 convention with headliner Bill Clinton TVWeek is reporting. On the other hand, the cable newsers saw a ratings jump from their 2004 convention ratings. This reveals the further decline in the old paradigm with the big three networks steadily losing their news influence bit by bit to cable outlets.
ABC, CBS and NBC brought in 12.1 million viewers in the 10 p.m. hour, down one million from 2004, according to preliminary, fast-national data from Nielsen Media Research. NBC scored the largest audience.
But the cable news networks saw some pretty impressive gains in ratings for the DNC opening.

Howard Dean Plays Race Card, Media Folds
-By Warner Todd Huston
**Video Below the Fold**
Barack Obama has been fond of playing the race card in this campaign telling his enraptured audiences that Republicans will attack him because he’s black, even though no GOP candidate or campaign has done so to date. But, Obama is a newcomer to the racemongering game when compared to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. True to form, in a recent interview Dean has once again called the GOP a “white party” attempting to make this campaign about race issues instead of candidates and platforms.
This is the sort of cynical, hate-filled garbage that Democrats have universally parlayed as campaign rhetoric since the 1960s. As recently as the August election in Tennessee’s 9th District, for instance, a black challenger to a white, Jewish incumbent featured both racial and religious epithets thrown at the Congressman by the black, Democrat challenger. That obscene campaign barely rated a mention in the Old Media. The response by the Old Media to the ease with which Democrats resort to race baiting, though, also shows the impunity that Democrats enjoy on the issue. That Dean knows he can say such a thing and not feel he’d be taken to task for it proves not only that the Democrats are dividers and not uniters, but that the Old Media can be relied on to give them a complete pass on their divisiveness.
As an aside, it is such hypocrisy of Howard Dean to use race and his claim of “inclusivity” as a bat with which to hit at the GOP. Before becoming a candidate for president in 2004 and then the DNC Chairman, Howard Dean was the Governor of Vermont, a state with a .7% black population — a whopping 3,500 black citizens. So, yeah, he ought to know all about working with minorities, why he’s been up to his nose in them for decades.

Liberals are meaner, cheaper, more willing to steal than Conservatives
-By Warner Todd Huston
Peter Schweizer, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, has a new book out that is sure to drive the loony left, well, even loonier. In the new book Makers and Takers, Schweizer tells us “why conservatives work harder, feel happier, have closer families, take fewer drugs, give more generously, value honesty more, are less materialistic” than lefties in America.
This from his website:
- Seventy-one percent of conservatives say you have an obligation to care for a seriously injured spouse or parent versus less than half (46 percent) of liberals.
- Conservatives have a better work ethic and are much less likely to call in sick than their liberal counterparts.
- Liberals are 2_ times more likely to be resentful of others’ success and 50 percent more likely to be jealous of other people’s good luck.
- Liberals are 2 times more likely to say it is okay to cheat the government out of welfare money you don’t deserve.
- Conservatives are more likely than liberals to hug their children and “significantly more likely” to display positive nurturing emotions.
- Liberals are less trusting of family members and much less likely to stay in touch with their parents.
- Do you get satisfaction from putting someone else’s happiness ahead of your own? Fifty-five percent of conservatives said yes versus only 20 percent of liberals.
- Rush Limbaugh, Ronald Reagan, Bill O’Reilly and Dick Cheney have given large sums of money to people in need, while Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore, and Al Gore have not.
- Those who are “very liberal” are 3 times more likely than conservatives to throw things when they get angry.
The American left prides itself on being superior to conservatives: more generous, less materialistic, more tolerant, more intellectual, and more selfless. For years scholars have constructed–and the media has pushed–elaborate theories designed to demonstrate that conservatives suffer from a host of personality defects and character flaws. According to these supposedly unbiased studies, conservatives are mean-spirited, greedy, selfish malcontents with authoritarian tendencies. Far from the belief of a few cranks, prominent liberals from John Kenneth Galbraith to Hillary Clinton have succumbed to these prejudices. But what do the facts show?

Obama Lied About Vote Against Live-Birth Abortion Ban, Media Mum
-By Warner Todd Huston
Jill Stanek has done yeoman’s work on uncovering the fact that Barack Obama and his surrogates have been outright lying about Obama’s constant votes against the Live-Birth abortion bills when he was in office in the State legislature. His claims have been a staple of Old Media reports from the beginning, but now that Stanek has revealed the truth we will have to see if the Old Media corrects the record or if they suddenly just go mum on the subject like they have so far.
The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) both in the Illinois and Federal legislatures was meant to make illegal death by neglect of born but unwanted infants. These bills were opposed by the bulk of the Democrat Party because of the fact that the original bills could have been construed to say that a pre-birth fetus was a “person” that was protected by law. So, the bill in Congress was altered to address that concern by adding a “neutrality clause” that made it clear that the bill would not protect a fetus in utero.
As Obama continues to tell the tale, as a State Senator he said he voted against the Illinois bill because the Federal “neutrality clause” was not included and that therefore he could not support the Illinois bill. Turns out he is not telling the truth about this fact. Even worse, he knows better because he was part of the legislative committee that added that very “neutrality clause” to the very bill he voted against in 2003.

What is Tennessee’s Senator, Bob Corker, Doing? Selling us Out, That’s What!
-By Warner Todd Huston
Ken Marerro over at Blue Collar Muse has a nice round down on the low down of the guy living down to expectations, Bob Corker (R, Tenn.). It appears that Senator Corker is selling down the river the erstwhile GOP House members who made such a strong stand on energy last week. Corker is signing onto a Senate energy bill that is little else but a GIANT give away to the Democrats.
A friend emailed me about Bob Corker’s involvement in the Gang of 10. He asked, “What is Corker doing?” To quote Bob Corker himself, he is doing “…exactly what I came to the Senate to do.” To the host of Tennesseans who bemoaned the choice of Corker over Ed Bryant as our Senate choice in 2006, he’s doing exactly what we feared. In fairness, for two years Corker has been a pleasant surprise. However, he couldn’t have picked a worse time to begin living down to our expectations.
Just like GOP Senators in the Gang of 14 and judicial nominees, Republicans in Energy’s Gang of 10 are undermining GOP leadership and strategy. Mitch McConnell and GOP leaders have worked this issue for months with the backing of Republicans and Democrats; legislators and voters. Pressure was mounting on Democrats to surrender their sellout of Americans. Gas and oil prices were falling. Support for Energy Independence via drilling and R&D for alternative and renewable energy sources was growing. It seemed inevitable the GOP would get their vote and sooner rather than later. Now, thanks to meddling by Corker, instead of continuing to exploit flaws in Democratic policies, Senate GOP leaders might be forced to regroup and decide if they can even continue in the face of the Gang’s treachery.
It gets worse, of course. Hit up the Blue Collar Muse for the rest of this infuriating tale of Republicans that are more like… well, they are RINOs, let’s face it.
How Many Democrats Are Trying to Pass an Energy Bill… How About ZERO
A nice five week vacation sounds nice to Democrats who’d rather be taking it easy instead of passing the energy bill in the House of Representatives. Yes, while we are paying $4 a gallon and more, Democrats decided it would be cool to go on a “well deserved” vacation.
Update: Cohen Beats Racist Tinker in Tennessee 9th
-By Warner Todd Huston
Last week I wrote about the Congressional race between Steve Cohen (D, TN) and challenger Nikki Tinker for the Democratic seat in Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. I wondered why Barack Obama had not come out to denounce the racist attacks that Tinker was unleashing on a fellow Democrat.
Of course, the reason Obama didn’t attack Tinker for her racist attacks was because she was a black woman and Obama refused to come out against her based on her gender and race (Congressman Cohen is a white, Jew).
The racist Tinker unleashed ads against Cohen that likened him to a KKK member and suggested that he is an apostate Jew. Other Tinker supporters claimed that Cohen couldn’t represent them because he was not a black man. She used every racist trick at her disposal to defeat Steve Cohen’s reelection effort.
So where was Barack Obama to denounce the racist ads Tinker promulgated on the voting public? No where to be seen until half the voters were already done casting their vote. On the day of the election, Obama belatedly issued this comment:
“These incendiary and personal attacks have no place in our politics, and will do nothing to help the good people of Tennessee. It’s time to turn the page on a politics driven by negativity and division so that we can come together to lift up our communities and our country.”
Regardless of Obama’s tepid reactions, the racist tactics of Nikki Tinker lost… and big.
