Wednesday’s show proved why Glenn Beck’s ratings are going through the roof. First he cornered a smarmy ACORN spokesman. Then he booted him from the studio during a commercial break.
Here’s how the Washington Examiner reported it:
ACORN National Spokesman Scott Levenson was ejected from a Fox News studio Wednesday following an off-camera altercation with host Glenn Beck that involved racially charged comments, as they were described by Beck.
“I threw him out of the studio, get the hell out of my studio,” Beck told viewers he said after Levenson accused him of being “afraid of black people.”
Beck told listeners after the break that Levenson was expelled from the studio after he accused the host of being racist. Levenson appeared on the “Glenn Beck” show to respond to criminal charges filed against ACORN employees in Nevada on Monday. The non-profit organization, formally known as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now, is under investigation nationwide for voter fraud in at least 12 different states.
In his exchange with Beck, the ACORN spokesman insisted that individual employees were responsible for the violations but not the national organization. Beck was not persuaded by this defense and persisted in his questioning.
There seems to be a theme today here at IHateTheMedia.com. And that theme is, “If there’s no liberal media bias, why is Fox News the only network that exposes this kind of stuff?”
Scott Levenson looks like a fraud from the first moment on camera, which makes him the perfect spokesman for ACORN.
"Hey, Rahm, now that our attorneys are done threatening Wall Street, tell them to threaten that Rasmussen guy next."
What’s that? These polls come from the impartial, highly-respected Rasmussen Reports polling organization? Impossible. They must be right wing extremists, too.
Generic Ballot: Republicans 40% Democrats 39%
Only 18% Say UAW, Government Will Do Good Job Running GM, Chrysler
42% Say Obama’s Supreme Court Pick Will Be Too Liberal, 41% Say About Right
75% Oppose Release of Guantanamo Inmates in the United States
Can you imagine how embarrassed the Queen of England must be every time her dullard son opens his mouth?
Now the King of Hypocrites has enlisted a bunch of celebrities – including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, the Dalai Lama, and soccer legend Pele – for a YouTube commercial that promotes Prince Chuck’s campaign to save the rainforest.
They all get together in a 90-second celebratory circle jerk to raise awareness for the need to stop tropical deforestation.
Just as this campaign was being launched, Prince Chuck, the lovely Duchess of Cornwall and their 14-person entourage flew a chartered private jet on a 16,400 mile round trip to Chile, Brazil and Ecuador to check out the rainforest for themselves. The whole shebang cost more than $450,000.
Hypocritical? No, no, no, no, no. Prince Chuck says he’s buying carbon offsets.
Anybody know where we can buy $450,000 worth of bullsh*t offsets?
The trend is not the President's friend according to Rasmussen Reports' latest poll.Two separate polls conducted by Rasmussen Reports seem to indicate trouble for President Obama.
The first poll says, “The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 33% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-two percent (32%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +1.”
The second poll says, “The number of people who consider themselves Republicans declined slightly in April while the number of Democrats held steady.”
A margin of +1 is the lowest approval margin Obama’s had in his 100+ days. That, in itself, is bad enough. But it gets worse.
If the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats is up, yet Obama’s approval margin is down, that’s a bad combination for the President.
We see a simple way for President Obama to reverse this trend. Now that the government already owns Chrysler and General Motors, all the President needs to do is nationalize Foster Farms. Then he can deliver on Herbert Hoover’s promise of “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.”
And it can all be done at the expense of the dozen people who still pay taxes.
Dirty. Sexy. Risque. Semi-nude. Harlot. (Yawn. Wake us up when the left digs up something worth talking about.) Miss California, Carrie Prejean, doesn’t deserve to live. She actually had the effrontery to express the opinion of the majority of people in her state and in the nation.
Now the left is out to do anything they can to destroy this young woman. She’s a stupid bitch. She’s had breast implants. And now, now, now the left thinks they’ve hit the scandal goldmine.
“Dirty” photos.
Sadly for the left, the photos are about as dirty as the Sears catalog. In fact, they may actually have been in a Sear’s catalog.
“I am a Christian, and I am a model,” Prejean said. “Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid Web site that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be.”
The best they can do so far is photo that shows Prejean wearing nothing but a pair of panties. Her breasts are completely covered by her arm.
Yet media bias reared its ugly head when NBC’s Today Show refused to air the photos because they were too racy.
Hah! They’re about as racy as Katie Couric. Ooh, we take that back. We don’t even want to think about that. God, we wish we could wipe that thought from our minds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sk1FoPJc0IWe’re living in historic times and there was another historic first for the Obama administration yesterday: an admitted tax cheat introduced a tax reform program.
Yes, the Obama administration announced a plan to reduce tax evasion by companies with overseas operations. And the plan was introduced by none other than Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax” Timothy Geithner.
Media bias being what it is, we didn’t notice any of the mainstream media outlets actually reporting it this way. But the irony is so rich that you really have to wonder how they could have ignored it.
Here’s how Geithner introduced his Fearless Leader:
Mr. President, when you took office, you promised to reform our tax code so that it would be more simple and more fair for hard-working Americans. And you promised to ensure that our tax dollars would be used to strengthen the American economy, and American competitiveness. Today, we are taking another important step towards those goals by ending indefensible tax-breaks and loopholes which allow some companies and some well-off citizens to evade the rules that the rest of America lives by. We believe in a level playing field…the Internal Revenue Service, under the strong and able leadership of Commissioner Doug Schulman, are making an unprecedented effort to upgrade and strengthen enforcement capacity. The President’s budget will add up to 800 full-time IRS employees devoted to detecting and bringing to justice those who unlawfully hide assets and income.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Geithner.
Why pick on companies with overseas operations? Hell, Obama could probably balance this bloated pig of a budget if he merely got all the Democrats to pay their back taxes.
Swine Flu, the greatest threat to the future of mankind since the birth of the evil George Bush. When Rahm Emanuel said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” we had no idea how far they’d dumb down the definition of the word crisis.
Apparently a crisis is now defined as anything important enough to wake Larry King up in the middle of his program.
Here’s how CNSNews.com describes the reality of the croup du jour:
So far this year, only one person–a baby visiting from Mexico–has died of swine flu in the United States, but more than 56,000 people died from the flu in the United States in 2006, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the CDC. In 2005, the flu killed 63,001 people here. But the deaths did not merit presidential statements or admonishments on hand-washing.
But it’s a crisis, damn it. The World Health Organization is already predicting a second wave of scratchy throats and we’re already predicting a second wave of governmental crisis mongering.
Just to prove he’s a man of the people, President Obama took Joe Biden to a burger joint called Ray’s Hell Burgers yesterday. Unfortunately, the President wasn’t quite up to the task of acting ordinary.
Obama seemed lost. Didn’t know what to order. Didn’t know how to order. He did his best shuck and jive with the kid behind the counter, but was lost when it came to ordering.
Joe Biden, the Cheap Veep, quickly realized the lunch was a freebie, so he jumped right in front of Obama and ordered. “Swiss cheese burger, jalapeno peppers. Will you put ketchup on it or do we do that ourselves? And a root beer.”
When Obama finally ordered, he looked like he should have taken his teleprompter to lunch instead of Biden. “Alright…(PAUSE)…I’m gonna have a basic cheddar cheese burger…(PAUSE)…medium well…(PAUSE)…uh…(PAUSE)…I just want mustard. No ketchup…(PAUSE)…You got a spicy mustard or something like that? A Dijon mustard or something like that?”
Who the hell goes into a place called Ray’s Hell Burgers in a limousine and asks for Dijon mustard? It was very reminiscent of the intentionally elitist Grey Poupon commercials.
And guess what. When MSNBC and CNN showed tape of the President’s day at Ray’s Hell Burgers, they both snipped out the Dijon question. After all, neither network could allow the President’s elitist reality to conflict with his man-of-the-people image.
Here’s CNN’s version of the Elitist’s trip to Ray’s Hell Burgers. Hold the Dijon.
“Obama seems terribly uncomfortable hanging out with the little people. Maybe he should have invited his teleprompter instead of Joe Biden.
Monkey-bitin’ snakes? That’s not quite how we remember it in the theater.
Apparently, the new theory in Hollywood is that G-rated versions don’t even have to make sense. “Let’s just combine random words and use them in place of the original obscene phrases.”
Entering the British House of Commons is like jumping into a shark tank. If you bleed, you die.
This video clip shows British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s final moments before the House of Commons back on November 22, 1990. You can’t help but feel pride as she defends her brand of conservatism against the attacks of British socialists.
My god, she was a tough old dame. And we say that in the best sense of the word.
When will some young conservative to step up and become the next Ronald Reagan or Maggie Thatcher?
C’mon, we’ve never needed you like we need you now.
Damn, we feel a little guilty making fun of Tony Bennett. We want to forgive the guy for these stupid comments based on the fact that he’s 82 and possibly senile. But he’s never shown any evidence of senility until this video clip. So what the hell – he’s fair game.
Let’s just make this short and sweet. He wants you to support President Obama in anything he wants to do. Period.
President Obama wants to destroy capitalism? Tony Bennett’s behind him all the way.
President Obama wants to take over the banks? Tony Bennett says, “Right on.”
President Obama wants the government to warranty your new car? Tony Bennett says, “Gobama!”
President Obama wants to make Michelle Queen of New Jersey? Tony Bennett says, “When do I curtsy?”
Kent Brockman, apparent role model for most of the empty-headed reporters in America.
Oh, how we wish reporters would just do their jobs and report actual news. We’d much rather blog about surfing or Miss California or something more fun than the mendacious misadventures of Barney Frank.
Why do Americans have to go to other countries to find any serious reporting about the Obama administration?
In this case, it’s an obscure paper in Nova Scotia, Canada that had the gumption to print the 12 thought-provoking points below. Points ignored by the U.S. lamestream media amidst the fawning over Obama’s First 100 Days.
So while CNN blathers on about the First Family’s Portugese Waterdog and the Puffington Host analyzes The One’s table manners, we herewith reprint this “news on the most powerful man on Earth which has been deemed unfit to print” as found in Andrew Smith’s column “The Things You Don’t Read About Barack Obama.
Obama’s first two major bills alone, the “stimulus” and “omnibus,” cost nearly twice as much as was spent on Iraq over six years – $1.2 trillion vs. $650 billion.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise of “a net spending cut,” his first annual deficit – not counting bailouts – being three times the worst deficit under President George W. Bush.
Obama’s objective in his first G20 summit – commitments to spend our way to prosperity with massive stimulus boondoggles across the G20 – was rejected out of hand.
Obama’s objective in his first NATO summit – commitments to combat troops for Afghanistan from “our European allies,” which Obama and his party imagined were ready and willing to fight if only someone “enlightened” like him were running things – was predictably refused, with some more European non-combat contingents offered as a token.
Obama’s Defense Department announced cuts of $1.4 billion to missile defense, the day after North Korea test-fired its long-range, multi-stage ballistic missile.
Obama’s economics were criticized by Warren Buffet, whose endorsement had been candidate Obama’s highest economic credential.
Obama reversed the free trade Bush policy that had allowed about 100 Mexican tractor-trailers into the United States, which the Mexican government immediately used as an excuse to levy tariffs on 90 American goods amounting to $2.4 billion in U.S. exports.
Obama’s “tax cuts for 95 per cent” turned out to mean $13 a week from June to December, to be clawed back to $8 a week in January – as compared with President Bush’s 2008 tax rebates of $600 to $1,200 plus $300 per child, which were notably scoffed at during the election campaign by Michelle Obama.
Obama’s campaign promise of a $3,000-per-employee tax credit for businesses that hired new workers – repeated ad nauseam for weeks before the election – was discreetly retired even before inauguration day.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise that “lobbyists won’t work in my White House,” waiving his no-lobbyist executive order or conveniently re-defining his appointees’ past lobbying work to allow 30 lobbyists into his administration.
Obama abandoned his campaign promise to reform earmarks, signing the omnibus bill which contained 8,816 of them.
Obama took more money from AIG than any other politician in 2008 – over $100,000 – and signed into law the provision guaranteeing the AIG bonuses which later had him in front of the cameras “shaking with outrage” and siccing the pitchfork crowd on law-abiding citizens who had fulfilled their end of a contract and had their payment upheld by Obama’s own legislation.
The Chronicle Herald concludes with this thought: “The people need a Fourth Estate, not yet another adulator of Barack Obama, yet another smearer of Sarah Palin, yet another patrician editor to keep out anything disagreeable to progressive sensibilities, yet another laptop-and-latte journalism-schooler to spit on everything pre-dating 1968. And they wonder why the news business has come on hard times.”
You heard the man, all you ink-stained wretches. Inquiring minds want to know what the President’s really up to. Because what he says is not matching up with what he’s actually doing.

Arlen Specter. If he was really two-faced would he have chosen that one?
You know the media bias is out of control when reliably-liberal Washington Post columnist Howard Kurtz notices it.
Here’s what Kurtz said about the media’s coverage of Arlen Specter switching parties:
Correspondent Carl Cannon, on AOL’s new PoliticsDaily site, says conservatives are right in complaining that much of the media have “a double standard regarding party-switchers. . . . When Republicans morph into Democrats, we tend to act like they finally saw the light, and quote them ad nauseam about how the Republican Party has gotten too narrow, etc., etc.” But when a Democrat joins the GOP, “we concentrate on the tactical advantage to the party switcher.”
When it comes to commentators, their analysis often turns on the direction of the defection. In 1994, when Democratic Sen. Richard Shelby switched parties days after the Republicans won control of Congress, a New York Times editorial said: “Talk about slipping out of the hills to bayonet the wounded! . . . His desertion to the victorious Republicans this week was hardly a huge surprise.” But when Jim Jeffords flipped control of the Senate to the Democrats by leaving the GOP in 2001, the Times said approvingly that the Vermont lawmaker had given George W. Bush “an embarrassing lesson” for having pulled a “conservative bait-and-switch” on the country.
Arlen’s switches back and forth are not uncommon in nature.
Here’s how the New York Times describes a similar situation:
When a school of reef fish loses its single male, the largest female begins acting like a male within a few hours and will produce sperm within 10 days. Some other species repeatedly switch back and forth between the production of eggs and of sperm during a single mating. Among deep sea fish that only rarely encounter potential mates, reproduction is often possible only if one changes sex.
Poor Arlen. The only sex involved in his switch was when he screwed the Republicans.
King Barack. He wants to defend the downtrodden so much that he's doing everything he can to make more of them. Riverside, California has announced a new plan to buy foreclosed homes, fix them up, and resell them to “the needy.”
Naturally, the city’s using your tax dollars – $6.5 million made available by the Obama administration plus its own redevelopment money – to purchase houses, rehab them and sell them to first-time buyers.
“Where a lot of communities are trying to figure out how to spend the money, or offering purchase funds or down-payment assistance, we’re actually very hands-on with our program,” said a representative of the working-class community located about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
“We’re making the purchase, we’re overseeing the rehab, we’re overseeing the sale of the properties. We’re at the forefront of most cities or counties.”
Riverside says it’s just trying to “make a difference.” Problem is, what they’re doing doesn’t sound much different than the same old Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac-Chris Dodd-Barney Frank merry-go-round off of which we thought we just hopped.
“Wholesalers expect the New York Times to increase its price from $1.50 to $2.00 for Monday to Saturday editions and from $5 to $6 on Sundays. A spokeswoman declined to comment.”
C’mon, man, these geniuses have Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman on staff. Maybe they should ask him to explain the law of supply and demand someday at lunch.
The U.K. today announced the names if sixteen people banned from entering the the country. These are people that Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said these are the sorts of nasty people that “Britain was not prepared to tolerate.” Among those named is America’s third most popular political radio talk show host Michael Savage, a personal favorite of the Administrator here (and boy is he pissed).
Isn’t Britain where Imams stand in the streets shouting Death to Jews?
George W. Bush was pilloried throughout his term by media detractors for his occasional malapropisms and verbal stumbles. One writer even published a collection of W’s gaffes in a book of “Bushisms”.
Will there be a book of Obamisms?
We’re not holding our breath, although there’s probably enough material already after the two-year-long campaign and only 100 days in office.
As the Associated Press reported:
Obama jumbled his words as he welcomed guests to the White House to observe the Mexican holiday, sending the crowd into laughter before he referred to the day correctly.
“Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House,” said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.
Cinco de cuatro means “five of four” in Spanish.
During the presidential campaign, Obama acknowledged his Spanish skills weren’t great.
And this is the same guy who last year was “embarrassed” that Americans traveling to Europe could only say, “merci beaucoup.”
Bush wasn’t our most eloquent president, but he at least had passable Spanish skills.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the Huffington Post from The Onion. They recently ran a story by Anna Post, great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post. It’s a perfect example of blind Obama worship.
In Anna’s eyes, there is nothing Barack Obama can do wrong. He is the perfect president, man, father, husband, and probably lover. (But based on the photo attached to the story, Anna’s kind of hot, so we’ll cut her a wee bit of slack.)
A credit to the women who raised him, the President uses his napkin to gently wipe his mouth. Children of America, take note!“Most public figures learn to dread what photographs might reveal about them, but President and Mrs. Obama make the grade as ambassadors for our country. Their exemplary manners are caught on camera repeatedly enough to clearly be habit and not just for show. After all, manners aren’t just for special occasions–though the Obamas attend plenty of those. The best manners come through seamlessly in the little things that make up everyday life….”
Anna shows many examples. And as far as we can tell, she thinks every photo ever taken of President Obama is proof of his perfection. For example, the photo and caption above.
But we think Anna hasn’t gone far enough. There are so many more examples of Barack Obama’s perfect manners that she could have shown in her short slide show. So please allow us to complete the job Anna Post began.
How does a terrorist mother choose which child to take to Paradise? According to the old saying, there are none so blind as those who will not see. And according to the new saying, there are none so nuts as those who will blow up their own children.
In this case, the left is blind. Because they refuse to see the insanity that guides our enemies.
Here’s how Jonathan Kay describes it in Canada’s National Post:
Having spent this morning catching up on my weekend reading, I came across this Page 4 article from Friday’s New York Times. Here’s the lead paragraph: “BAGHDAD — At least 80 people died and 120 others were injured Thursday in three bombings, one by a female suicide bomber in Baghdad who, Iraqi officials said, held a young child’s hand as she set off her explosives among a group of women and children receiving emergency food aid.”
We think this is one of the moderate terrorists President Obama wants to negotiate with. had she been one of the extremists she would have blown up her whole family.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is funding a study that will send researchers to six bars in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to interview both patrons and proprietors in an effort to discover what it is about those bars that may encourage homosexuals to drink and then have sex. The study, funded by U.S. taxpayers, began on Sept. 30, 2009 and runs through August 2010.
Here we go again. More government money being spent to teach people how to use condoms.
As anyone who’s read IHateTheMedia.com for more than a few seconds knows, there are no geniuses around here. But even the staff morons can figure out how to use a condom. And if they haven’t heard what the purpose of a condom is by the time they’re old enough to use one, they haven’t been paying attention to the liberal media.
In fact, we consider the fact that George Clooney hasn’t reproduced is proof positive that a moron can figure out how to use a condom.
The condom commercial is part of a larger program. Here’s how GetFreeCondoms.org describes it:
According to a study released 6/24/08 by PLoS Medicine, watching a video in an STD clinic waiting room can reduce the risk for a new STD by almost 10%. In a large multi-center intervention trial, Dr. Lee Warner from the Centers for Disease control and Prevention and a team of researchers at different institutions in the U.S. studied the effect of a carefully crafted, 23-minute waiting room video on the risk for new STDs among 40,000 patients in 3 STD clinics in the country. More information about Safe in the City can be found at the project’s website: www.safeinthecity.org.
Our favorite part of the video is the Barry White-like voice over. It’s like the CDC is taking a little walk on the wild side.
Prejudiced scientists say swine flu was passed from pigs to humans. How are we to know it wasn't the other way around?Pig rights advocates are furious that conservatives continue blaming the porcine community for the spread of so-called Swine Flu. They are expected to air their complaints on MSNBC next week.
“These swinophobic comments are very hurtful,” one distraught pig supporter will say. “All we want is the right to be sick like everyone else.”
“This flu isn’t a choice,” another protester will say, “It’s genetic.”
Perez Hilton will also come to the defense of the pigs, saying, “Anyone who blames this on the pigs is a stupid sow.”
MSNBC’s primetime schedule will be filled next week with programs supporting the oppressed swine minority in their battle for equality.
“Anyone who criticizes pigs,” Keith Olbermann is expected to hiss, “is a Nazi.”
“I support the swine,” Chris Matthews is predicted to say. “So from now on, Obama is only going to give me thrills up the hamhock.”
“I’m behind the pigs all the way,” Rachel Maddow is expected to say. “And I’ll support them as soon as I’m done with all my teabagging puns.”
And Ed Schultz will say…ahhh, crap, who cares what Ed Schultz might say.
