The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (that’s what the Democrat Party calls itself in Minnesota) sent out this remarkably offensive “Ignore the Poor” anti-Catholic mailer.
Congratulations, Democrats. Now that we’ve seen this ad, nominations for Most Offensive Ad of the Year are closed and you have officially been declared the winners.
The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (that’s what the Democrat Party calls itself in Minnesota) sent out this remarkably offensive “Ignore the Poor” anti-Catholic mailer.
How loud would they squeal if someone – anyone – would have run an ad this offensive about Muslims?
Can someone please answer one simple question? No, that wasn’t the question. This is: Why does Joy Behar have a career on television?

Why does Joy Behar have a career on television?
She’s completely classless, completely clueless and considering the fact that she bills herself as a comedian, completely laughless.
We have a friend who hates sitcoms because, he says, all character development ends far too soon in most of them and each character quickly devolves into increasing exaggerations of his or her most prominent trait.
Based on that description, can The View be described as anything but a sitcom?
Barack Obama, who billed himself as the first post-partisan President, but who has governed as if that description were some kind of joke, finally put his real feelings into words.

The enemies list makes a comeback
The Hill has the details:
Latino voters, the president said, would have an opportunity to send a message to Republicans, who Obama accused of “politicizing” immigration reform and the border security debate. Obama said “pressure has to be put on the Republican Party” if immigration reform is to become a reality.
“And if Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us, if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder — and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2,” he said.
Punish your enemies. If they bring a knife, he’ll bring a gun.
Maybe instead of comparing this president to Jimmy Carter, we should begin comparing him to Richard Nixon. Except Nixon’s enemy list seemed to be a lot shorter than Obama’s.
In the sleepy little town of Troy, New York there is a case of what is being referred to as “massive voter fraud.” The shock isn’t that it was perpetrated by Democrats, it’s that ACORN wasn’t involved.

Perhaps this map will help Democrats who've lost their way in Troy, New York
FoxNation has the details:
A special prosecutor investigating allegations of voter fraud, Trey Smith, is collecting DNA from the majority of the city council all Democrats. Five city councilmen, including the council president, as well as four other city and county public officials and political operatives, have been ordered to or have had their saliva swabbed for DNA samples to compare to absentee ballots and absentee ballot applications that were allegedly forged.
Wait – it gets worse:
It has been alleged that Democrats tried to steal the primary election for city council and county legislature, by forging absentee ballots and ballot applications.
However, the Democrats tried to handle the crisis in true Democratic fashion. First of all, “No comment,” was apparently the first comment off the lips of Democratic Council member Gary Galuski and several other public officials who are under investigation.
Sarah Couch, who is not under investigation, said that when the story broke last year another councilman asked her to issue a press release that would “’point blame at the Republican Party,’ and she refused to do so.”
Finally, “One of the others who allegedly gathered absentee ballot applications, former Troy Housing worker and Democratic Committeeman Anthony DeFiglio” said “’what appears as a huge conspiracy to non-political persons, is really a normal political tactic that went out of control.’”
Just a normal political tactic. Really? That sounds familiar. Isn’t that what they said about the “Louisiana Purchase” and the “Nebraska Kickback”?
Hopefully when these clowns are convicted they’ll be placed in a nice normal jail cell.
“I never asked President Obama for his endorsement and what’s going on here is really Washington insider politics at its worst,” Caprio said. “He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned.”
Remember just two short years ago when the election of Barack Obama ushered in an era of love and peace and harmony? That’s officially over. Even among Democrats.
As far as we know, Frank Caprio has not told Miss Rhode Island to shove it
ABC News has details of the Rhode Island rebuff:
This morning on WPRO Radio Providence, Democratic Rhode Island gubernatorial candidate Frank Caprio, whom President Obama has not endorsed, lashed out.
“I never asked President Obama for his endorsement and what’s going on here is really Washington insider politics at its worst,” Caprio said. “He can take his endorsement and really shove it as far as I am concerned.”
Deferring to his friendship with former Sen. Lincoln Chafee, the former Republican senator currently an independent gubernatorial candidate who endorsed the president in 2008, the president has not endorsed Caprio.
Recent polls indicate that Caprio and Chafee are in a tight race. According to the Providence Journal, Caprio was unaware that the president would not be endorsing him until a reporter told his campaign the news over the weekend.
Let’s just say that Caprio is not happy with President Obama.
Caprio today charged that the president is “coming into Rhode Island treating us like an ATM machine. I will wear it as a badge of honor and a badge of courage that he doesn’t want to endorse me as a Democrat.“
Note that Caprio doesn’t object to Barack Obama treating the American people like an ATM for the last two years.
Here’s a commercial that will give you the kind of chills you may not have felt since viewing Ronald Reagan’s Morning In America commercial. Anyone who can watch this and not vote for Marco Friggin’ Rubio is obviously an anti-American, communist son of a bitch.
Here’s a commercial that will give you the kind of chills you may not have felt since viewing Ronald Reagan’s Morning In America commercial. Anyone who can watch this and not vote for Marco Friggin’ Rubio is obviously an anti-American, communist son of a bitch.
In one week, Marco will become the next Republican senator from Florida. He’s conservative. He’s telegenic. He’s a great speaker. He’s the son of immigrants. He’s Hispanic. He believes in American exceptionalism. And he’s married to a former NFL cheerleader. For god’s sake, man, what more could you ask of a candidate?
Far be it from us to stick our necks out, but we think we’re looking at the future of the Republican party.
Democrat Congressman Robert Brady put his foot deep into his mouth on MSNBC on Monday, but trusty leftist apologist Andrea Mitchell came to the rescue.
Democrat Congressman Robert Brady put his foot deep into his mouth on MSNBC on Monday, but trusty leftist apologist Andrea Mitchell came to the rescue.
Mitchell: What is the secret here to turn-out? In the old days, in the old machine days, it used to be what we called “walking around money,” handing out money to get people to the vote. Is it still the case? What do you do? What is the magic of the Democratic machine in Philadelphia?”
Brady: We still have the street money and we’re very knowledgeable.
The meaning seems clear. Brady’s admitting that the Democrats buy votes in Philadelphia. In fact, it seemed so clear that Mitchell revisited the issue five minutes later just to give Brady a way to explain away his previous statement.
Does anyone doubt that the producer was in the booth screaming, “Andrea! Go back and give this moron some cover.”
This may look and sound like a Saturday Night Live skit, but it’s for real. This is Chris Erickson, candidate for the U.S. Senate representing Vermont’s Marijuana Party.

Seriously. Vermont has a Marijuana Party, which goes a long way toward explaining the phrase “Vermont Governor Howard Dean.”
The only way this commercial could be better is if the candidate’s name had been Mary Jane.
Always-outspoken state Sen. Rickey Hendon on Saturday took aim at Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Brady at a “get out the vote” rally on the West Side: “I’ve never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life.”
Illinois State Senator Rickey Hendon must be a happy man – after laboring in relative political obscurity for years, he’s hit the national news twice in a week.
Is there a single rational Democrat in the entire state of Illinois?
Last week we featured the ebonics commercial he ran earlier this year during his campaign for Illinois lieutenant governor. If you thought that was extreme, wait until you hear what he said on Saturday.
The Chicago Sun-Times has the bizarre details:
Always-outspoken state Sen. Rickey Hendon on Saturday took aim at Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Brady at a “get out the vote” rally on the West Side.
“I’ve never served with such an idiotic, racist, sexist, homophobic person in my life,” Hendon said before introducing Gov. Quinn. “If you think that the minimum wage needs to be three dollars an hour, vote for Bill Brady. If you think that women have no rights whatsoever, except to have his children, vote for Bill Brady. If you think gay and lesbian people need to be locked up and shot in the head, vote for Bill Brady.”
Other Democrats were immediately seen scurrying away from the Hendon as quickly as possible.
What do you get when you combine Alan Grayson and Anthony Weiner, two of the loudest, shrillest members of the House of Representatives? Take your choice: (a) Lunacy, (b) Stupidity, (c) Hypocrisy, or (d) All of the above.
What do you get when you combine Alan Grayson and Anthony Weiner, two of the loudest, shrillest members of the House of Representatives? Take your choice:
(a) Lunacy, (b) Stupidity, (c) Hypocrisy, or (d) All of the above.
No real need to answer that question, because the answer is all too obvious.
Waaaaay back in October 2009, other members of the House of Representatives were beginning to notice that Florida Congressman Alan Grayson was, shall we say, not normal. One of them, Anthony Weiner (D-NY) said, “Is this news to you that this guy’s one fry short of a Happy Meal?”
But times change. Now, with Democrat control of the House hanging by a thread, Weiner has seen the error of his ways. He now says, “When Alan Grayson wins, America wins.”
Translation: Grayson’s nuttier than a fruitcake, but he’s our fruitcake.
Joe Biden is a heartbeat away from the Presidency. And from the look on the cop’s face, he’s about a heartbeat away from getting his clock cleaned, too.

The looks on all the participants’ faces are perfect. It’s like Norman Rockwell captured a moment in time on Biden’s Bizarro World.
George Clooney stopped HBO host Bill Mayer and told him that conservatives have done far more than liberals to support his efforts in Darfur.
It’s not surprising that Bill Maher had his facts wrong when he attacked conservatives. But it was surprising when reliably liberal guest George Clooney stopped the obnoxious HBO host and told him that conservatives have done far more than liberals to support his efforts in Darfur.
Maher started the sequence by saying, “I don’t think conservatives are bad people, I think they have a hard time being empathetic to people who are not like them at all.”
First Clooney chastises the studio audience for applauding Maher’s stupidity and then he sets the record straight.
We may have to consider lifting our self-imposed ban on George Clooney movies.
Is this just another sign that the Democrats are in trouble? For god’s sake, man, when Bill Clinton can’t fill a high school gym in a Democrat stronghold, times are tough.

There was a time when Bill Clinton could fill arenas even larger than his ego
The Detroitistan News has the Cliff Notes:
Clinton, who campaigned in the battleground state of Florida earlier this week, is popular in Detroit and trying to fire up the party base in Michigan today with stops today in Detroit, Ann Arbor and Battle Creek.
But he began his speech just before 3 p.m. in a high school gym that was less than half full. The appearance was in support of gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero, shown in most polls to be trailing Republican candidate Rick Snyder by 20 percentage points.
The echos in the nearly-empty gym reverberated almost as loudly as the ones in Joe Biden’s head.

Step One: The moderator at a League of Women Voters-sponsored debate attempts to begin the meeting without the Pledge of Allegiance.
Step Two: The audience had other ideas and spontaneously begins reciting the Pledge.
Step Three: Moderator steps off the tracks to get out of the way of the moving train.
Remember when the League of Women Voters was a non-partisan, patriotic organization? When did that change?
When James Cameron says “We’re going to have to live with less,” what he really means is “You’re going to have to live with less while I live with more.”
James Cameron, director of Titanic and Avatar, said, “I wanted to make an environmentally conscious mainstream movie … It will be a dying world if we don’t make some fundamental changes about how we view ourselves and how we view wealth … We’re going to have to live with less.”
Of course, when he says “We’re going to have to live with less,” what he really means is “You’re going to have to live with less while I live with more.”
We don’t begrudge anyone living the lifestyle their income allows them to live. What we begrudge is their hypocrisy.

CAIR-NY said someone threw a jar of nails near the entrance of a Huntington, N.Y., mosque Wednesday night. It’s being investigated as a hate crime.
Find nails in your driveway and it’s a hate crime. Find nails in everyone’s driveway but yours and it’s discrimination.
CAIR, the lunatics who bitch and moan about every perceived and imagined Islamic insult, have come up with a new one.
A tip from CAIR: Notify the FBI next time you find a nail in your driveway
The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today called on the FBI to investigate a nail attack on a mosque in that state as a possible hate crime.
CAIR-NY said someone threw a jar of nails near the entrance of a Huntington, N.Y., mosque Wednesday night. The jar broke and nails were scattered in the area of the mosque’s driveway. Suffolk County police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. Representatives of the mosque say other possibly bias-motivated incidents have occurred in recent months.
State and national religious and political leaders must address the rising number of hate incidents targeting American Muslims and their institutions,” said CAIR-NY Community Affairs Director Faiza N. Ali. “We urge the FBI to add its resources to the investigation of this troubling incident.”
The Editor found a nail in his front left tire last week. Apparently he converted to Islam and didn’t know it and was, therefore, the victim of a nail attack slash hate crime.
That being said, we find ourselves agreeing with CAIR. Throwing nails in front of a mosque was wrong. The perpetrator should have throw box cutters instead.

Spreading his money around like a pro athlete at a strip club, George “Sugar Daddy” Soros wrote checks to NPR – who conveniently fired Juan Williams within two days of receiving their Soros’ pay off – Huffington Post and Media Matters.
Spreading money around left wing news organizations like a pro athlete at a strip club
Fox News reported that, “In a statement obtained by The Caucus, (Media Matters) says it plans to use the money to intensify its efforts to hold the Fox host Glenn Beck and others on the cable news channel accountable for their reporting.”
Well, if by holding them “accountable for their reporting” Media Matters means to launch a boycott aimed at shutting down free speech in general and Fox news specifically, then yes, they are trying to hold Glenn Beck accountable.
The statement continues, “Fox has transformed itself into a 24-7 G.O.P. attack machine, dividing Americans through fear-mongering and falsehoods and undermining the legitimacy of our government for partisan political ends.”
Coincidentally, Media Matters exists solely as a left-wing attack machine created to attack Fox 24-7 through fear-mongering and falsehoods for partisan political ends. But that was not noted in the story.
Fox also reported that, “Mr. Soros, a billionaire who has a history of supporting liberal politicians and causes, accused Fox News hosts of ‘incendiary rhetoric’ and said he hoped that his money would be used ‘in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy.’”
What Mr. Soros neglected to say was that while he is opposed to “right wing” incendiary rhetoric, incindiary rhetoric from the left is highly encouraged. Anyone who’s ever visited Media Matters knows that its “reporters” (or “fellows,” as they like to call them) don’t actually report, but instead search through the media much like the little old lady searching for dirty words, looking for something – anything, really – that can be twisted and distorted to support their left wing world view.
Media Matters has always been a joke. But by taking Soros’ cash, it’s become the old joke whose punch line is, “We’ve already determined what you are. Now we’re just negotiating the price.”
In this clip, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene works his way into the background as a local TV reporter does a live story from the fair.
Apparently, when your campaign’s on a limited budget, you’re forced to do whatever you can to get TV time. Even if it means paying your way into the South Carolina State Fair and making a fool of yourself.
In this clip, South Carolina Democrat Alvin Greene works his way into the background as a local TV reporter does a live story from the fair. That’s Alvin wearing the green T-shirt and cap just over the reporter’s left shoulder. Yeah, that’s right. He’s the one waving and making rabbit ears over the reporter’s head.
Amazingly enough, 11% of South Carolina voters still say they’re going to vote for this guy.
If that South Carolina election doesn’t work out for you, Alvin, move to California. We’ve already elected Governor Moonbeam and Barbara Boxer, so your odds are considerably better out here.
Just as professional Democrats have begun fleeing any association with Barack Obama, the party has come up with the brilliant idea of holding a raffle. Give money to the party right now and you could win a chance to meet President Obama.
Just as professional Democrats have begun fleeing any association with Barack Obama, the party has come up with the brilliant idea of holding a raffle. Give money to the party right now and you could win a chance to meet President Obama.
It is, perhaps, a sign of desperation within the party that you’re automatically entered in the contest for making a contribution as small as $3.
$3 raffles today, car washes and bakes sales tomorrow
You read that right. Not $3000, not $300, not even $30. A mere $3 contribution is all it takes to enter this contest and win the chance to meet this devalued President.
The Washington Examiner has details of the desperation:
It will happen October 22, when Obama appears at a rally for faltering Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Las Vegas. “The president will be kicking off the final push at a grassroots rally,” an Organizing for America email says. “We’re saving three backstage passes for supporters like you.”
Obama has been criticized for appearing at high-dollar events like a soiree at the Washington DC home of former network newswoman and White House health care spokeswoman Linda Douglass. That event cost $30,400 to attend. This one will be different. If you send in just $3 between now and 11:59 p.m. Friday, you’ll have a chance to win — air fare, hotel, and “backstage pass” to meet Obama.
And it’s even better than that. Read the fine print of the email, and you’ll see — at the bottom, just like a contest on the back of a box or a six pack of soft drinks — “No purchase or contribution necessary to enter. Void where prohibited.” Even if they don’t send in any money, winners will receive “one round-trip ticket within the continental U.S. to Las Vegas; hotel accommodations for one; and a meeting with President Obama at a rally even on 10/22/10 (approximate combined retail value $1,200.00).” The email does not specify how much of the $1,200.00 is for the plane, how much is for the hotel, and how much is for meeting Obama.
In other Democrat news, Joe Biden is organizing a fundraiser where he’ll pay $3 for the chance to meet you.
This ad not only damns Obama with his own words, his own actions and the haunting “O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma” chant of his supporters, but does it in a dramatic way that almost gives you chills.
We hate the nasty tone and predictability of most political attack commercials. But we love a commercial that turns a competitor’s words or deeds against him in a clever or dramatic way.
Like this one, for example. It not only damns Obama with his own words, his own actions and the haunting “O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma, O-ba-ma” chant of his supporters, but does it in a dramatic way that almost gives you chills.
Michelle Obama and a group of unpaid child laborers harvested crops from the White House plantation. Just hours before the White House harvest, the government came out against potatoes.
We love the way completely unrelated news items sometimes juxtapose to show the complete absurdity of Washington, DC.
Michelle's big ass sweet potato: The only White House-approve usage of the words "Michelle" and "big ass" in the same sentence
On Wednesday afternoon, Michelle Obama and a group of unpaid child laborers harvested crops from the White House plantation. Michelle proudly posed with a big ass sweet potato (insert your own punch line here).
On Wednesday morning, just hours before the White House harvest, the government came out against potatoes.
The Associated Press has its eyes on the potato story:
“… the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences, recommended that the U.S. Department of Agriculture stop participants of the federal Women, Infants and Children program, known as WIC, from buying potatoes with federal dollars. The institute also called for the USDA-backed school lunch program to limit use of potatoes.
Under an interim rule, the USDA agreed to bar WIC participants from buying potatoes with their federal dollars. Potatoes are the only vegetable not allowed. Next year, the agency will roll out a final rule on the WIC program, which last year served 9.3 million children and pregnant and breast-feeding women considered at risk for malnutrition.
Michelle is in favor of sweet potatoes, but opposed to white potatoes.
R.I.P. Alan Grayson. The obnoxious Florida Democrat has been written off by his own party and will soon be carted off in the hearse of political history.

Looks like we won't have Alan Grayson to kick around much longer
HotlineOnCall.com has the info:
The Democratic Congressional Committee is spending millions of dollars in key districts around the country on late independent expenditures, demonstrating the districts Democrats believe can be saved from a national wave — and the members the party believes are already too far behind their Republican rivals to save.
Where the DCCC didn’t spend money is as indicative as where it did. With two weeks to go, Democrats are using their checkbooks as acknowledgment that nearly a dozen members are beyond saving.
The DCCC did not spend money on behalf of Reps. Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio), Debbie Halvorson (D-Ill.), Betsy Markey (D-Colo.), Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla.), Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.) and Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), the filings show. Republicans believe those seven seats are all but guaranteed to fall their way.
Adios, Alan. Hopefully, you’ve learned that it’s one thing to be hated by conservatives, but another thing to be hated by your own constituents.
Barack Obama’s popularity is like that old Limbo Rock song. How low can you go? Gallup reports the new low for the O.
Barack Obama’s popularity is like that old Limbo Rock song. How low can you go?
Gallup reports the new low for the O:
Barack Obama averaged 44.7% job approval during the seventh quarter of his presidency. His average approval rating has declined each quarter since he took office, falling by more than two percentage points in the most recent quarter to establish a new low.
Question: What do you think will happen to Obama’s popularity after November 2nd? Will this be the low water mark? Will it continue to go down? Or will he be able to use the new Republican majority in the House to whip up support for himself.
