Barack Obama has Little History of ‘Reaching Out Across the Aisle’
-By Warner Todd Huston
The mantra from Obama’s supporters — as well as the candidate himself — is that he is the one candidate most likely to “reach out across the aisle to get things done.” Unfortunately for the junior Senator from Illinois, there is no real history of him doing so. On the other hand, John McCain has done so repeatedly during his Senate career. But, let us focus here on Barack Obama’s claims.
The last time Obama made this claim was in an August campaign ad on what he claims are his efforts to secure loose nukes around the world. In this ad, Obama claimed that he “passed a law to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists.” Also in that ad he claims to have reached across the aisle to work with Republican Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) to do so and is pictured with Lugar. He is also depicted in the ad as visiting Ukraine and viewing ordnance of all sorts strewn carelessly about. It would appear from the ad that this legislation was Obama’s idea and that Lugar was but a helper in it all.
It is true that in 2005 Lugar and Obama wrote an op-ed (read their staff wrote it and they put their names on it) about the legislation they sponsored to coordinate efforts with other nations to reduce weapon stockpiles and smuggling. The measure was later passed as part of a larger bill. But the ad misleads on Obama’s hand in that legislation.

Dean Warns Kiddie Porn Pervert Instructor to Hide Evidence from Investigators
-By Warner Todd Huston
This is what our nation’s universities have come to. A professor at Rochester University, New York, was warned to destroy evidence of his kiddie porn collection stored on university computers ahead of a raid on his workstations staged by the State Police. And who was the informant? A university dean gave him a tip off causing the pervert prof to attempt to destroy the evidence of his criminal behavior.
On October 10 university instructor Gilbert Kirton, 26, was charged with possessing child pornography after a raid on his workstation was authorized by prosecutors and the courts. Authorities had been looking into Kirton for four months.
Police claim that what was found on Kirton’s computer was “some of the most sexually graphic images depicting the physical and sexual abuse of children secured by the state police in Western New York.”
Even though he was tipped off, the police got their man. But not with the help of at least one university dean, granted.

Is Obama Even a Citizen of This Country?
A Democrat lawmaker and Lawyer says that Barack Obama is not a natural born U.S. citizen. That makes him ineligible to run for president. I am skeptical of the claim, but Obama refuses to prove otherwise.
Calling the Old Media: Five Million Illegals Have Illegal Mortgages in U.S.A.!
-By Warner Todd Huston
A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages. This is just one more example of the lax lending laws put into place by Democrats like Barney Frank that have contributed to this economic crisis. One would think this would be big news. But, so far we have only this one report to cover it.
There have been earlier stories of home flipping schemes that made liberal use of illegal aliens as straw buyers and the FBI has followed numerous cases to prosecution and conviction. But the Old Media have not done much with this story.

Indiana: More Registered to Vote Than Eligible, Media Misses Story
-By Warner Todd Huston
If Barack Obama wins this election, there will be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that one of the things that will help push him over the top is massive Democrat vote fraud. It’ll make the Democrats that stole the 1960 JFK/Nixon election for Kennedy look like Pikers. One example of this massive vote fraud is in the amazing fact that there are now more registered voters in Indianapolis than are actually eligible to vote. News at 11? How about no news at all.
Oh, sure, there have been stories in the media in Indiana covering the vote fraud issue. But almost to a report they are covered as mere charge and counter charge and end up making the GOP look as if they are engaged in just the normal partisan bickering. But no one is reporting the true nature of this vote fraud.
WANE, TV 15 out of Fort Wayne, for instance, reported on a visit to that city by Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita (R) who was there to talk about voter fraud. In Lake County, IN, the GOP is accusing the Democrats of vote fraud, but the report does not reveal any further details.

Michael Moore Says ‘Free’ Film Not Free to Foreigners?
-By Warner Todd Huston
**Update – Apparently Moore is Against Copyright Laws**
Left-wing, faux documentary filmmaker Michael Moore famously announced late last year that his newest film would be a “free” download on the Internet. He claimed that his new film was a “free” gift to all his fans. Apparently, he didn’t really mean “all” his fans, though. It turns out that his lawyers have sent out a raft of letters to downloading services like PirateBay.org, TorrentFreak and BitTorrent to cease and desist allowing downloads for anyone outside of the U.S. and Canada because he wants to sell the film to foreign markets. I guess “free” is in the mind of the beholder?
Lawyers representing Slacker Uprising’s international rights holder have sent letters to download sites telling them to remove access to the movie, file-sharing news site TorrentFreak reported.
The move – so far unsuccessful – appears to contradict Moore’s earlier comments saying the film was “done entirely as a gift to my fans” and to inspire people “to get off the couch and give voting a chance”. Moore implored viewers to “email it, burn it and share it with anyone and everyone.”
Apparently, for all his claims that he is for all the little people of the world, Moore isn’t so interested in offering his “free” film to foreigners.
Still, when asked for his reply to this story, Moore claimed that it was all “out of his hands.” He claimed it was all the lawyers and not him. In the past he has also claimed that he was against copyright laws saying they are too “restrictive.”
So, a mixed message from Michael Moore, for sure. On one hand he claims he’s for open access to everyone else’s efforts, yet on the other hand he limits that access to his own products.
So what does he really support? Most likely only what’s good for Michael Moore.

Democrats Are an Ass
-By Warner Todd Huston
Democrats have no class. They are low-class, ignorant, base, cretins. They are not suitable for decent society. I wouldn’t want my daughter to marry one. Unfortunately, we have an example to bear witness to my disgust with these sorts of people in the person of the guttural Claire McCaskill, Democrat Senator and vulgarian from Missouri.
Ben Smith of Politico reports the newest example from this low born creep:
McCaskill was stepping out of her chair at the end of an MSNBC interview, and Romney was up next. She and a staffer unplugged her various wires, and she handed Romney the earpiece the guests use to hear the host.
“I spit on this before I put it in,” she said to Romney, with a sweet smile.
I disagree with Smith’s characterization of McCaskill’s “sweet smile.” I would say it was more of an sinister sneer was at play, as is always with this ignoramus.
In any case, this sort of garbage just shows that Claire McCaskill is an uncivil creep.

Obama’s Kenyan Pal… Killer, Despot
-By Warner Todd Huston
Raila Odinga is well known Kenyan communist, dictator, and despot, and is responsible for genocide. Barack Obama was his biggest American supporter. At taxpayer expense, Obama campaigned for Odinga in Kenya.
Odinga is just one more inhuman cretin in Obama’s orbit.
Theaters Defrauding Ticket Sales From ‘An American Carol’ Film?
-By Warner Todd Huston
An American Carol debuted this past weekend and there have been some disturbing reports that ticket sales for the film have been fraudulently credited to other films in cineaplexes all across the country. The rumors are so persistent that the American Carol folks have added a section to their website for movie-goers to report the fraud. The filmmakers are reporting that at least 10 theaters are being investigated for this fraudulent practice.
So, if you have attended this film and happen to still have you ticket stubs, take a look at them to see if you were credited with having paid to attend the right movie.
There has also been a few reports by Eric Odom that some venues have incorrectly identified the rating for the film as sporting an “R” rating instead of the proper “PG-13” that the film rating board actually gave it.
We’ll have to keep an eye on this situation, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it turned out that certain people are trying to doom this film.

LA Mayor Caught by Jilted Hubby, Flees Leaving Paramour in Dangerous Situation?
-By Warner Todd Huston
Sounds like a headline from a tabloid tattle sheet doesn’t it? Sadly, its more tabloid political campaigning too.
The story is that Mayor Kip Holden of Baton Rouge, Louisiana was “involved” with a white woman somewhere deep in the night in Baton Rouge when her hubby walked in on them. Things supposedly got heated and the jilted hubby popped the mayor in the eye. Well, the puff-eyed mayor ran out to his police bodyguard/driver and demanded the officer arrest the enraged man on the charge that he was a threat to the well-being of the wayward wifey. But, the officer reminded the pounded mayor that an official report would have to be filed if the man was arrested. With that, the mayor supposedly told his cop/driver to speed from the scene leaving the woman stranded in that possibly dangerous situation.
Naturally, everyone denies the tale. But, the focus is on who sent out the letter making these charges against the mayor instead of if the mayor was really IN that situation in the first place. Is it possible obfuscation by the mayor to hide his guilt, or justifiable outrage over a dirty political trick?
Were I a citizen of Baton Rouge, I’d want to be assured that the erstwhile mayor was NOT actually involved with another man’s wife and using a state paid police officer as his look-out before I worried too much about who sent out the letter disgorging the story!

How The Democrats Love Their Corporate Welfare Policy
-By Warner Todd Huston
What is it we hear echoing in the left-o-sphere? Don’t we hear all the time that the left is chock-full-o-nuts on how those eeeevil capitalists are so in love with what they call “corporate welfare”? Aren’t the nutrooters always railing about how the right is so in bed with business, giving them oh so many tax breaks? Of course, the left loves their corporate welfare, too. So much so that they’ve gone back to slipping it into play even when it was defeated not only by the right, but deplored and castigated by the left’s pals in Europe and the international community.
I am talking, of course, about the infamous (and infamy is the proper word) Byrd Amendment. This little bit of poison was repealed by Congress in 2005, but the decrepit Byrd and his shifty friends snuck it back into law by camouflaging it in a recent spending bill. So now it’s back as law even though many countries in the world are upset about it, even though it harmed our trading reputation the last time this dose of hemlock was forced on our trading partners world wide, even though all it really ends up being is corporate welfare.
So, what is it? It’s a nasty piece of protectionist policy — the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act — that makes it quite lucrative for American businesses to claim that they are put at an unfair advantage by foreign products. How it works is a U.S. company will file paperwork with the federal government claiming that they are being harmed by unfair business practices from a foreign product. The government then slaps a high, punitive tariff on that foreign product and pays the American business the amount of the increased tariff. That’s it. The business doesn’t have to prove anything. There is no inspection agency, accounting agency or compliance agency to check the claims. They just get paid.

Obama Campaign Stifles Free Speech At University Rally
-By Warner Todd Huston
The candidate of change, the shining proponent of a “new way” in national politics, says that you aren’t allowed to bring a sign to his rally. So much for the right of free political speech. To add insult to injury, this rally was held at the publicly funded University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. So, now the government is lending the weight of its authority to squelch free speech. So, where is the hue and cry about this unAmerican activity? Did the media even note this heavy-handed policy?
But, it is all true nonetheless. The rally was held and weak-spined school officials bent over and meekly accepted the rules derived from the fascistic penchant of the Obama campaign with its anti-first amendment proclivities. Some few small voices questioned this oppression of American rights, but for the most part no one seems to have noticed that Virginians had their Constitutional rights quashed that day. Shockingly, some even thought it was a good idea.
The Obama campaign, falling back on the oldest dodge in the book, claimed that campaign signs were not allowed because of “security concerns.” Who can doubt, though, that it was instead because of “camera concerns”? The Obama campaign was far more interested in photo ops clear of McCain signs or other unwanted reminders that there are other opinions out there among the unwashed masses than that of sycophancy for The One.

Voters See Media’s Prez Debate Moderators as Biased for Barack
-By Warner Todd Huston
Once again Rasmussen Reports presents evidence that more and more Americans are coming to the realization that the media is biased to the left. This time Rasmussen’s polling results shows that more Americans than ever think the folks chosen from amongst the Old Media to moderate the upcoming presidential debates are biased in favor of Barack Obama.
Earlier in the month, Rasmussen found that 50% of their respondents feel that the media is trying to help Obama get elected while only 11% felt the media was trying to help McCain win. This time Rasmussen finds that 56% feel that the debate moderators are biased in their questioning, though veteran TV newsman Jim Lehrer (PBS) gets better personal numbers with 43% saying he’ll be neutral as a moderator.

FL Paper Quotes White Woman as Racist Against Obama, SHE Says She Never Mentioned Obama
-By Warner Todd Huston
A 60-year-old white woman from Spring Hill, Florida is quoted as saying that there is no chance a black man can win the White House. This same woman, Sandra Cichon, is quoted in a total of three St. Petersburg Times stories, the latest being from September 15. But in a follow up interview, Barbara Sowell of digitaljournal.com finds that Cichon claims she was never called by a pollster, as the paper claims, and never told any reporter that she wouldn’t vote for a black man.
So who is right? Did the St. Petersburg Times merely make up racist quotes out of whole cloth and put words in the mouth of this woman or is she suddenly trying to take back what she said by claiming not to have been interviewed about Obama? Here’s the story and you can decide.
Dems Threaten Anti-Iran Rally Organizers With IRS Attack if They Let Palin Speak
-By Warner Todd Huston
News has emerged that the organizers of that anti-Iran rally that famously got snarled up in Senator Hillary Clinton’s ire at Governor Sarah Palin last week were threatened by New York Democrats with IRS action against their tax-exempt status if they allowed Palin to speak. CBS local NY news reported this little fact and so did NBC but most of the national news has ignored this outrageous threat to use the IRS to silence Governor Palin.
Accusing New York Democrats of using “McCarthyism” to shut Palin down, Democrat Assemblyman Dov Hikind was flabbergasted by the behind the scenes threats against the rally organizers. “It’s an absolute shame that this has happened,” CBS quoted Hikind as saying. “To threaten organizations … to threaten the Conference of Presidents that if you don’t withdraw the invitation to Gov. Palin we’re going to look into your tax exempt status … that’s McCarthyism.”
The charge was that inviting only Palin and not also Democrat VP candidate Joe Biden is somehow a violation of “equal representation of candidates” (As NBC claimed in its report). But, this is not a certainty. After all, the appearance wasn’t a campaign stop nor was it a venue to advertise Palin or engage in presidential politics. Besides, as HotAir notes, of the political speakers that were invited to speak last year, few were Republicans.
