Media narrative must never let media or liberalism be discredited

Media narrative must never let media or liberalism be discredited

By Mike DeVine, Legal Editor for The Minority Report and The HinzSight Report

Now that the Democratic Party has apparently chosen its nominee for President, savvy liberal reporters like, Richard Cohen of The Washington Post are already writing pre-mortems, understanding (like Gamecock has crowed since 2006 re any likely leftist his former party was sure to choose and has crowed since 2007 when we discovered the Obamanation) that Barack Obama cannot and will not be elected President.

Of course the so-called mainstream media is in the tank for Barack Obama of 20-year pew-parked butt in the Trinity (Minister Farrakhan, Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger) United to hate white people and America Church fame, complete with hardball leg tinglings and cries of racism should anyone question, i.e. accurately quote campaign surrogates and advisors.

Speaking of cries of racism, Cohen is out early with the claim that Obama will lose due to the racism of the American (read white Republicans) people, (never mind that the best evidence they can offer is supposed racism in the DEMOCRAT primaries) but he slips up in the process and echoes Gamecock and Hugh Hewitt:

I acknowledge that some people can find nonracial reasons to vote against Obama -- his youth, his inexperience, his uber-liberalism and, of course, his willingness to abide his minister's admiration for a racist demagogue (Louis Farrakhan) until it was way, way too late. But for too many people, Obama is first and foremost a black man and is rejected for that reason alone. This is very sad.

Hugh Hewitt opines:

This is, of course, nonsense. Obama has won the nomination by running as a hard left, anti-victory tax raiser with a circle of radical advisors, mentors and friends. He will lose the general because he really is a hard-left, anti-victory tax raiser with a circle of radical advisors, mentors and friends.

[RACISM UPDATE]

Cohen's reference to a vague poll question as to whether race was "a factor" is very weak evidence to support his claims. Respondents could easily have interpreted that question as asking if the racism exhibited by Obama's friends and supporters was a factor.

Moreover, John McWhorter, a prominent black author and Obama supporter refutes claims of significant racism among the American electorate:

Racism in Retreat

A year and a half ago, often I was sweetly dismissed when I said that Barack Obama was possibly on his way to the White House and would certainly trounce Hillary Clinton for the nomination.

"You don't know what they'll do to him," they'd say. As often as not, the idea was that America could not seriously support a black man for its highest office.

I didn't get this. The America I live in today does not seem as deeply stamped by bigotry as these people seemed to think. It seemed as if, on this topic, I was talking to people who had woken up after 25 years and didn't know how the country had changed. Couldn't they see that this man's color was only going to help?

Well, here we are. Are there some bigots? Of course. Did they, or any purported instance of "racism" during the campaign, keep Barack Obama from the nomination?

His victory demonstrates the main platform of my race writing. The guiding question in everything I have ever written on race is: Why do so many people exaggerate about racism?

This exaggeration is a nasty hangover from the sixties, and the place it has taken as a purported badge of intellectual and moral gravitas is a tire-block on coherent, constructive sociopolitical discussion.

Here's a typical case for what passes as enlightenment. On my desk(top) is an article from last year's American Psychologist. The wisdom imparted? To be a person of color these days is to withstand an endless barrage of racist "microaggressions."

Say to someone, "When I look at you, I don't see color" and you "deny their ethnic experiences." You do the same by saying, "As a woman, I know what you go through as a racial minority," as well as with hate speech such as "America is a melting pot." Other "microaggressions" include college buildings being all named after straight, white rich men (I'm not kidding about the straight part).

This sort of thing will not do. Why channel mental energy into performance art of this kind?

Some may mistake me as implying that it would be okay to stop talking about racism. But that interpretation is incorrect: I am stating that it would be okay to stop talking about racism. We need to be talking about serious activism focused on results. Those who suppose that the main meal in the aforementioned is to decry racism are not helping people.

[END RACISM UPDATE]

Besides projections of racism, what else is going on here with Cohen?

Cohen is smarter than the average liberal, more objective and more concerned about his credibility. But make no mistake, the MSM is working off a template they have used since at least 1980 if not 1972.

Ever notice how most all of their between election polls show Democrats ahead until a few weeks or days before elections? Carter in ’80, Mondale in ’84, and Dukakis in ’88 all held large leads over the Republican that vanquished them. Gore and Kerry led as well in 2000 and 2004 respectively.

The MSM uses polls to try and make their wishes come true, but near the end they seek to rehabilitate their reputations with accurate polls.

Moreover, they never admit that Democrats lose because of their liberal policies and what passes for “values.” Oh no. They must never admit that their leftist God is impotent.

Hence, McGovern lost because Eagleton underwent shock therapy, and not because he wanted to lose a war.

Carter lost because Michael Deaver framed good photo ops and Reagan said “there he goes again”, and not because Carter wrecked the economy and lost Iran.

Mondale lost because Reagan joked that he would not hold Mondale’s “youth and inexperience against him”, and not because Mondale promised to raise taxes.

Dukakis lost because George H.W. Bush and Republicans (after Gore) put a black man’s face in a TV ad, and not because Dukakis opposed the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance by grammar school children.

Gore lost because the Supreme Court stole the election (via a lawsuit he filed after breaking America’s tradition of over 200 years of not reneging on a concession), not because he eschewed Clintonism, ran as a populist, had a personality breakdown in three debates and lost his own home state.

Kerry lost because he was “swift-boated” (eye-witness fellow military officers told the truth about Kerry’s publicity tour in ‘Nam), and not because he promised to subject American sovereignty to an “international test” and to give Osama bin Laden an O.J. Simpson-like trial, Judge Ito presiding.

No.

Liberals never lose because of the failure of the liberal policies, both foreign and domestic, for the last forty years.

No, it’s always a debate “moment” on TV, or another event, on TV.

What matters most is that liberalism not be discredited, what happens on TV is deemed significant and dispositive, and that Americans understand that they are racist, bigot, sexist homophobe rubes.

Americans are just too stupid to vote their best interests ya’ know.

The Monster Mash

Thank God for Obama's Power gaffe, i.e blunt truth:

Hillary is a monster.

"She is a monster too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything."

And so, with the truth having been spoken, of course, Obama's Samantha Power was sapped, and the babe moves on, maybe to introduce herself to Barack's Weather Underground Chicago neighbor for instructions on how to get back in the mainstream after bombings of the Pentagon or Hillary kind. (Hint: Pro-abortion blatherings are a good start)

Of course, Barack's Samantha betwitched her nose at monstrous "stoopings" to "anything", defined as accurate references to Rezkoesque slumlords, Canadian NAFTAwhispers and 3am impotence, but we know our Mrs. Nurse Ratched Clinton is not limited in her monstrosities to such kindergarten Halloween fare.

In fact, when I first heard the Power's quote, I immediately wondered if maybe she was a heretofore unknown bimbo eruption, which volcano Ms. Rodham had capped into silence much like the trailer park trash and/or beret wearing eruptions she drained the lava from in the 90s.

The fact is though, that all of the above monster antics pale in comparison to the truly ghoulish acts and omissions of monsterdom that both Hillary and the Obamanation share, i.e.

Modern Day Liberalism!

A Prelude:

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

I lived the Monster Mash in the late 1970's with Jimmy Carter as Dracula sucking the blood out of the economy and Frankenstein scaring away investors but merely amusing the totalitarian foreign threats of the day.

The originals were rejected utterly in a disembodied McGovern in 1972.

Let us not be lulled by the interregnum into letting Obama keep his "change/hope" mask on even if his press babe outed the femme fatale of Clintonism.

The most dangerous monster is the Left, in the the press, academia, Hollywood, and the Democratic Party, followed closely in their lethality to Osama and his ilk, who fear not the lame secular lib variety.

Beware!

Vote McCain and the GOP, i.e. the silver bullets that are lethal to monsters, both foreign and domestic.

The Sun and John Coleman vs. Al Gore, TWC and Heidi Cullen

The defamation lawsuit filed on behalf of our solar system's star in the Milky Way Intergalactic District Court last year against Al Gore and reported here at Redstate asking the "burning question", Where will the Knicks play?, has been hobbled by a lack of cash flow of the Plaintiff.

The Sun's lawyer, Mike DeVine, paid the filing fee and service of process fee, and was fortunate to obtain an admission via ABC News transcript after which Bill Clinton was added as a witness in The Sun v Al Gore lawsuit.

But The Sun has been unable to generate any income given its inability to travel any closer than 93 million miles to any available place of employment on Planet Earth.

Hence, DeVine Law has had to fend off claims his client is a "public figure" and hence must prove "actual mailce" by Gore.

The gravamen of the Complaint is that the defendant, Al Gore defames the plaintiff by alleging that Man, and not The Sun, warms the Earth.

But now, pursuant to Rule 20. Permissive Joinder of Parties DeVine is adding a well-heeled party plaintiff to the lawsuit, as well as a new cause of action (see below link re carbon credit fraud) and adding two additional party defendants, one of which is a pocket deeper than Gore.

TWC founder and global warming skeptic advocates suing Al Gore to expose 'the fraud of global warming.

The Weather Channel has lost its way, according to John Coleman, who founded the channel in 1982.

Coleman told an audience at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change on March 3 in New York that he is highly critical of global warming alarmism.

“The Weather Channel had great promise, and that’s all gone now because they’ve made every mistake in the book on what they’ve done and how they’ve done it and it’s very sad,” Coleman said. “It’s now for sale and there’s a new owner of The Weather Channel will be announced – several billion dollars having changed hands in the near future. Let’s hope the new owners can recapture the vision and stop reporting the traffic, telling us what to think and start giving us useful weather information.”

The Weather Channel has been an outlet for global warming alarmism. In December 2006, The Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen argued on her blog that weathercasters who had doubts about human influence on global warming should be punished with decertification by the American Meteorological Society.

Coleman also told the audience his strategy for exposing what he called “the fraud of global warming.” He advocated suing those who sell carbon credits, which would force global warming alarmists to give a more honest account of the policies they propose.

Coleman will be footing the bill for deposition and other discovery expenses for DeVine in the contingency fee civil action.

Some republicans and Alaskans have expressed hope that the case can generate support for new oil drilling as opposed to the democrat exclusive love for old oil. See link

ANWR Drilling Despisers Hezbo-Dem Dingell and Dem Party Love Old Well Oil Only?

Many in the GOP also hope to persuade John McCain to give up the defamation generated support for taxing Americans to fund futile cooling tactics, taking away Edison's light bulb and the Corvette, and forcing Americans to drive scooters next to semis on I-95.

Thanks to President Bush (and Hillary) no 3am call re Hussein ever came

President William Jefferson Clinton got many calls, some even in the wee hours of the night, relating attacks on America or that would be attackers were in the gun sights of America special forces. His responses were, variously:

1 - the bombing of vacant buildings or aspirin factories;
2 - declarations of war from the press room against Osama bin laden;
3 - refusals to allow the killing of said Osama for fear Arab potentates or children would be collateral damage; and, finally, when said calls concerned a certain ceasefire violating Saddam Hussein,
4 - Desert Fox, i.e. days of massive bombing of Iraq followed by an Oval Office speech declaring that the US and UN must prevent Saddam from allying with al Qaeda with weapons of mass destruction against us.

Despite President Clinton's anemic responses to phone calls at 3, and any other am and pms, or maybe because of same, I give Hillary a pass, especially after her affirmation of President George Walker Bush's request for a Declaration of War (and that is what it was and I'm not arguing that point on this blog even if called names by mbecker), that she is better prepared to answer White House phones than her opponent for the democratic party presidential nomination i.e. the junior senator from Illinois, all of whose names have the potential to be used in an offensive and bigoted manner, who is married to the 44-year old Michelle that only recently was proud of America when watching women faint at the sight of her husband and who recently pleaded with poor clack women to eschew legal and corporate careers to stay barefoot and pregnant or empty bedpans.

I think, after 911, and the consequent guilt felt by President Bill Clinton knowing all the times he could have acted to prevent same, that he and Hillary learned a lesson: Our legacy can be restored by winning wars, not by approval polls born of inaction.

The policies that Michelle's husband would advance in foreign policy would make 3am phone calls advising him of Americans dying at the hands of our enemies more frequent.

Michelle's husband has declared to the world that he would allow Husseins to defy ceasefires achieved by the deaths of brave America soldiers with impunity.

He would reward 28 years of war by Iran's mullahs against the US with a meeting to discuss their role in Iraq, with no precondition that they stop waging war against us in Iraq.

I endorse Hillary to be John Sydney McCain, III's opponent on Election Day 2008, not because she would be easier to beat (and not just because I no longer believe that), but because he would be a much better Commander in Chief phone answerer that Michelle's husband.

[UPDATE]

Hillary Clinton Talks to The Brody File

I think that there is a certain phenomenon associated with this candidacy, and I am really struck by that because it is very much about him and his personality and his presentation. And that's perfectly legitimate in politics, or any other walk of life, but I think it dangers or oversimplifies the complexity of the problems we face, the challenges of navigating our country through some difficult uncharted waters. We are a nation at war. That seems to be forgotten.

Hillary says "We are a nation at war" with conviction.

Michelle's husband says it as throwaway line.

Even Michael Steele can't utterly repudiate Farrakhan?

My eyes just opened wider than when Michelle Obama told the whole truth concerning her lack of pride in America until her husband got white votes in Iowa.

My conservative black friends told me long ago of the taboo subjects in black America. I have seen Clarence Thomas and others attacked over same. John McWhorter outlines them best in his "Losing the Race." But I have to admit I was shocked tonight, when...

On Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes just now, Michael Steele came to the defense of Black Americans who have worked with the nation's number one racist "in the field" due to the "black" perspective as opposed to Sean Hannity's "white" perspective.

[UPDATE]

Thomas Sowell disagrees:

"When we are talking about a president of the United States, we are not talking about the fate of one individual, but the fate of a nation and of generations yet unborn," conservative commentator Thomas Sowell wrote last month on National Review Online. "This is no time to get squeamish or politically correct, when talking about whoever is to carry the load of the free world on his shoulders in the White House."

Hannity challenged a black liberal democrat on the show to admit what the liberal democrat would think of Hannity if he continued to attend a church that honored David Duke like Obama's church honors Farrakhan.

America, especially including those that propose to unify said America, lend me your ears: There is no legitimate perspective from which one could do anything but be repulsed by Louis Farrakhan.

This issue is on the order of Holocaust denial. The rise of Obama proves Shelby Steele's conclusion that white racism is no longer a significant factor in America life, but...

Apparently, given that even republican Michael Steele is willing to give Obama a pass on his Hate America Church/Black nationalist, separatist church and his stuttering 30 sentences vague half a*s denunciation of something-Farrakhan, there is a cancer on Black America.

Well, we are about to cut it out. The occasion of Obama's inevitable nomination makes the long needed operation imminent. And while we operate on blacks, we will finally have that conversation on race that Bill Clinton so craved yet saw within 25 minutes of the convening of the conference that no honest dialogue could be had since any white getting too close to the truth would be deemed a racist.

I thought to myself the other day, who are the top ten known prominent racists in America. Farrakhan came to mind first. Slam dunk number one.

People, the politically correct police are on the beat, and they apparently have already mugged Michael Steele.

Barack Obama is a card carrying member of the cancer. He must not be given a pass.

More importantly, we must use this occasion to force the lid off the pathologies in the Black community, one of which reserves respect for Farrakhan.

This is a deep sickness. A sickness so deep in white and black America that my first dead-tree MSM column with the Charlotte Observer addressed the issue:

Now, what about Caucasians?

I became active in the Democratic Party mainly due to my disdain for the racism I saw in the 1970s. Happily, I watched most of the Republican racism melt under the weight of King's mainstream American and Judeo-Christian moral arguments. Unhappily, I watched disturbing pathologies develop within my party and its members.

Then, during my five years in Atlanta before moving to the Queen City, I experienced what I call a "conservative epiphany," in large part due to the covertly racist behavior of fellow liberal Democrats in their treatment of blacks as inferior victim dependents and their overt disdain for the Christian faith that inspired King.

Radio talk show host Dennis Prager recently described being shown a video of people reacting to a talk show organized by a firm that specializes in analyzing such shows for their producers. Prager noticed that the carefully chosen panel included no blacks. The firm explained that in their previous experience they discovered that after a black person gave their opinion about a show, white people would rarely offer differing opinions for fear of being deemed racist.

This condescending and misplaced white guilt and fear of the Political Correctness Police must end.

Face down the PC crowd

I don't remember Daddy's answer to his eldest son's innocent inquiry some 39 years ago, but there is nothing I better remember than the way he lived his life. Dad employed the non-race-based Golden Rule found in Matthew's Gospel as he coached some of the first racially integrated little league baseball teams in my hometown and insisted that blacks employed with him at Southern Railway be held to the same standards as whites.

King based his civil rights message largely on that New Testament passage, which admonishes us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us, as well as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which acknowledge equality before our Creator and require equal treatment under the law.

Quite simply, whites must stop treating blacks as inferiors, and muster the courage to face down the PC crowd to make King's dream more of a reality.

That was my admonition to whites. Well, now Blacks, you can't use the guilt of whites to hide your cancer now. Barack wants his hand on the button.

Yet, despite the above, Michael Steele's comments tonight shocked me, and I guess I learned only recently how bad the sickness is from a man that has been a lifelong republican. A black man who was shocked at the level of inferiority shown by a lifelong black woman that wrote a letter to me objecting to my column on The Jena One.

I am not going to reveal either's identity.

The issue is crystallized by Michael Steele. He was honest. He gives the black nationalist portion of the black community a pass.

I won't. I wouldn't have given them a pass even if one that attends such a church for 20 years wasn't running for the most powerful job on Earth and who pretends to want to unify the nation while he and his children get schooled in the opposite in comfy pews.

I won't give Obama or anyone that turns a blind eye to racism and hate. Why? Because I hate racism and love humanity, and because I have a special love for Black people, Black Americans. I spent 18 years in the party that egged this bullS**t on. I feel I was an aider and abettor in the destruction of the black family and in this PC pathology that gives Farrakhan, FARRAKHAN DAMMIT!, a pass.

I will not be silent.

I called out white racists and those that stayed silent in the 70's, and I am calling out the black racists and those that turn a blind eye now.

Michael Steele, you insulted black people tonight, suggesting that the history of blacks has created a different perspective from which to view the relationship of Black America with Farrakhan.

I am reminded of the different perspective of plantation owners on the issue of slavery.

The perspective of the GOP was founded on the moral bankruptcy of the latter, and it stands now on the moral bankruptcy for the substitution of Farrakhan for Simon LeGree.

Simply put: Obama's 20 year attendance at his church disqualifies him to President.

Memo to GOP: Eliminate all gas/oil taxes now

Originally posted at The Minority Report

The rise in the price of energy is hurting the economy. It is pushing up the price of necessities like gasoline, heating oil and food. It is greatly reducing the standard of living for low income families and the middle class. It threatens to push the US economy into recession.

Very soon, the Democratic Party will seize upon this issue and propose policies that they claim will help the poor, but which will actually hurt them. They will play class warfare politics and they will demonize heartless republicans and the media will help they play this game as they have for over 75 years.

Again, the GOP is looking at a softball they could hit for a home run and go a long way towards refuting the lie the liberals have make conventional wisdom, i.e. that the GOP doesn't "care" about the poor. Of course, the results of our policies refute the charge. But the perception persists because we are too polite and wait to react.

GO ON OFFENSE FOR ONCE FOR GOD'S SAKE!

To whom does the rooster crow?

President Bush, John McCain, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner in the District. All GOP governors in the States.

Please beat the democrats to the punch for once.

End all taxes on gasoline and heating oil. End subsidies for ethanol.

State and federal.

And while you are at it, push for opening up new areas for oil drilling and reducing regulations on nuclear power and oil refineries.

Americans face the possibility of $4 per gallon oil.

Food prices are rising.

CALLER: Rush, I've been in business for 30 years. I've been successful. I have been delivering food to the state of Delaware economically, spectacularly, winning awards. My credentials are impeccable. I can't bring the food any more to the table at the price I'm bringing it because of Delmarva Power & Light, which is really not their fault, it's our governor. It's Joe Biden. These people are out of their minds, Rush. We don't need free health care. That is not the problem in this country. We're being crippled with energy. We can't bring oil out of ANWR, we can't drill off your estate at Palm Beach. No one wants to look at a derrick.

RUSH: I wouldn't mind.

CALLER: I know you wouldn't mind. But there's something crazy taking place. The price of my kilowatt is a dime because they want to take the CO2 and put it into a cave and save it. They can deliver it at three cents. American Electric Power has been in business for a hundred years. They know what to do. Governors telling them what to do, how to build the plant, not to use coal, demonizing oil, a woman named Jane Fonda sits on a cannon and stops an entire world from delivering nuclear power with this movie she made --

RUSH: Exactly right. In fact, I watched a little bit of that yesterday. It was on HDNet movie --

CALLER: How does this happen, Rush? How does this happen?

RUSH: Fear.

CALLER: How do intelligent Americans allow -- why can't we build nuclear? We can create 40,000 jobs by bringing oil in from ANWR. We bring it by a pipeline, not with a tanker, no spill, no Exxon Valdez. What is going on, Rush?

RUSH: What's going on, it is --

CALLER: Twenty-nine states with 29 different grades of gasoline? We're paying over three dollars for regular. Rush, I don't care. I got the money. I drive only 12-cylinder cars.

RUSH: Thank God.

CALLER: I wouldn't put my grandchildren in no little mini-boxes. But I'm not talking about me, and I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about working America. They think they need free health care? They need two dollar a gallon gas, this country will explode. They're heating their houses. You think there's a subprime crisis, Rush? Yes, there's a subprime crisis. That's not the problem. People bought a house they thought their energy was going to be $250. They get a bill, it's $385. They go to the gas station, they spend another $40, so they stop coming out to my restaurant. They stop buying 24/7. They don't buy a newsletter. Rush, there is a domino effect taking place. It's energy. We bring down the price of a plasma television set. I bought one for $10,000, a Fujitsu. It's now $1,100.

RUSH: I've been there.

CALLER: We bring down the price of phones. We bring down the price of computers. Why do we bring up the price of energy? Why do you allow the Sierra Club to run this country? What is going on? These people are walking through the country and telling us to go on a bicycle? I need Larry David to drive around for four years in Curb Your Enthusiasm with a Prius? What is going on, Rush? We're out of our mind. People are calling up and saying he's liberal, he's conservative, he's this, he's that. They're driving themselves into a barrel. They're not going to get out, the Bo Snerdleys of the world. I'm talking about young couples. I've got two boys. They're trying to bring children up. They're getting energy bills that are knocking their homes out of sight. Nothing, nothing is more important than to bring -- energy is what makes this world tick. We're beholden to Chavezes and Castros and Putins; we want to go dig here, dig there. Can you dig in Alaska? Oh, no, we're going to kill a caribou. This is nonsense. This doesn't make any sense. How do we allow these idiots to get on television and talk about foreign oil? There is no -- Rush, you have got to lead a charge. It is not that McCain is reaching over the aisle, he's a global warmer

Redstaters, our prosperity is at risk. We can't wait till January 21, 2009 to address this. Action is vital now.

Obama's minister lives in Chicago. So will Obama next February.

 Obama never actually rejects the "Minister's" present support.

Obama was fatally wounded in the general election tonight, or was it when he remained in his hate America church's pew the first time his pastor or his pastor's minister preached hate after he and Michelle's butts warmed the pews.

The relevant part of the debate:                                                                                                                                                   

MR. RUSSERT: Senator Obama, one of the things in a campaign is that you have to react to unexpected developments. On Sunday, the headline in your hometown paper, Chicago Tribune: "Louis Farrakhan Backs Obama for President at Nation of Islam Convention in Chicago."
 
            Do you accept the support of Louis Farrakhan?

SEN. OBAMA: You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan's anti-Semitic comments. I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support. He expressed pride in an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can't censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we're not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.

Five sentences and he doesn't answer a yes/no question with the obvious "no". He does, however, refer to the racist with the honorific of "Minister", not once, but twice. He compliments the minister on his pride in an African-American. How sweet.

MR. RUSSERT: Do you reject his support?

Tim understands that his fellow Democrat has not answered the question.

SEN. OBAMA: Well, Tim, you know, I can't say to somebody that he can't say that he thinks I'm a good guy. (Laughter.) You know, I -- you know, I -- I have been very clear in my denunciations of him and his past statements, and I think that indicates to the American people what my stance is on those comments.

Still won't say "no"! Repeats that the minister likes him. Mentions that he has denounced the minister in the past, but still does not answer Tim's initial question

MR. RUSSERT: The problem some voters may have is, as you know, Reverend Farrakhan called Judaism "gutter religion."

Tim realizes that Obama still has not rejected the minister's support now.

OBAMA: Tim, I think -- I am very familiar with his record, as are the American people. That's why I have consistently denounced it.

This is not something new. This is something that -- I live in Chicago. He lives in Chicago. I've been very clear, in terms of me believing that what he has said is reprehensible and inappropriate. And I have consistently distanced myself from him.

Now, we are at thirteen sentences and Obama still has not rejected the minister's support now. We do now know that the minister lives near him.

RUSSERT: The title of one of your books, "Audacity of Hope," you acknowledge you got from a sermon from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the head of the Trinity United Church. He said that Louis Farrakhan "epitomizes greatness."

He said that he went to Libya in 1984 with Louis Farrakhan to visit with Moammar Gadhafi and that, when your political opponents found out about that, quote, "your Jewish support would dry up quicker than a snowball in Hell."

RUSSERT: What do you do to assure Jewish-Americans that, whether it's Farrakhan's support or the activities of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, your pastor, you are consistent with issues regarding Israel and not in any way suggesting that Farrakhan epitomizes greatness?

Tim gives up on the direct approach and gives Obama a chance to denounce two hatemongers, i.e. his own pastor and the minister.

OBAMA: Tim, I have some of the strongest support from the Jewish community in my hometown of Chicago and in this presidential campaign. And the reason is because I have been a stalwart friend of Israel's. I think they are one of our most important allies in the region, and I think that their security is sacrosanct, and that the United States is in a special relationship with them, as is true with my relationship with the Jewish community.

And the reason that I have such strong support is because they know that not only would I not tolerate anti-Semitism in any form, but also because of the fact that what I want to do is rebuild what I consider to be a historic relationship between the African-American community and the Jewish community.

You know, I would not be sitting here were it not for a whole host of Jewish Americans, who supported the civil rights movement and helped to ensure that justice was served in the South. And that coalition has frayed over time around a whole host of issues, and part of my task in this process is making sure that those lines of communication and understanding are reopened.

But, you know, the reason that I have such strong support in the Jewish community and have historically -- it was true in my U.S. Senate campaign and it's true in this presidency -- is because the people who know me best know that I consistently have not only befriended the Jewish community, not only have I been strong on Israel, but, more importantly, I've been willing to speak out even when it is not comfortable.

When I was -- just last point I would make -- when I was giving -- had the honor of giving a sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church in conjunction with Martin Luther King's birthday in front of a large African-American audience, I specifically spoke out against anti- Semitism within the African-American community. And that's what gives people confidence that I will continue to do that when I'm president of the United States.

I defy anyone to identify where Obama rejects "Minister" Louis's support in Baracks' opus above or in his later exchange that the MSM is focused on after the above (see link)

Full Debate Transcript

The exchange with Hillary is too vague to be an explicit rejection of Louis's endorsement.

The correct answer to Russert's initial softball question of,

"Do you accept the support of Louis Farrakhan?"

was "NO"!

Tim expected to hear "no"; tried to lead him to "no"; but never heard "no".

Instead we heard Obama twice repeat, with smiles, that his pastor's hero likes him; twice heard him refer to him with honor as "minister"; and found out they are neighbors and that he hasn't always agreed with him.

We never heard him reject his support.

Obama is a leftist, far outside the mainstream of most Americans, including most rank and file democrats, I suspect. His devil will be in the details. Two huge details are now exposed with him on the record with equivocation.

But given that he has attended a black nationalist, separatist hate America church for two decades, he can't hide.

And thanks to McCain-Feingold, even of McCain were to think it improper to expose this creepy vile church association, he can't stop the 527's from doing so.

Thank God for Free Speech!

For more than 14 months I have been confident that the GOP will retain the presidency given that the Dems are openly running as leftists.

Now we see the details of exactly why.

The Obamas and Osama were taught to hate America

 

I see no evidence that either Obama hates America, but I was only mildly surprised to hear the Democratic Party’s nominee for First Lady say that she had never been proud of her country before her husband’s recent electoral success in his campaign for the presidency.

Since the McGovernite takeover of the world’s oldest party in 1972, and especially since 9/11, most leaders of the party say and do for free what America’s enemies would gladly pay them to say and do.

The madrassa educated Osama bin Laden regularly quotes prominent Democrats in biennial missives from his cave echoing his grievances against the America the infidel as justification for the terrorist war being waged against the United States. Iran’s mullahs and their front man president as well as Saddam Hussein’s former lawyers have regularly quoted elected Democrats in recent years to justify their hatred of The Great Satan as well as, Israel, the Little Satan.

Michelle Obama, like her husband, were “educated” at madrassa-like (sans any belief in God) Ivy League blame America first institutions to be ashamed of America. Millions of Blacks and Whites are victims of the 1960’s born academic, mainstream media and Hollywood Fifth column in this country that has robbed them of their individuality and the joy of the love of one’s country by projecting their own racism onto the GOP and most whites.

Like I said early last year, Barack Obama is an Out of the Mainstream Liberal McGovernite, but the Obamas have suffered a double whammy via the left’s use of “Black Power” to thwart the power of Martin Luther King’s dream and the objective fact that most American whites now and have for decades embraced that color-blind society dream. The Obamas’ formal education has been reinforced by the black nationalist, Hate America church they have attended for years in Chicago. The pride they exhibit is their grievance ideology fueled “community organizing”, i.e. the democratic party’s vile recruitment method of ginning up hate against America among the less educated denizens of inner cities that heretofore hadn’t thought to blame “The Man” for their lot in life.

Given all that, it would be a miracle if Michelle had been proud of the USA before 2007.

Of course, her gaffe (how the media defines the speaking of vile truths about the Left that they would prefer be kept secret) is now being “explained” as only referring to pride in American “politics”, not America.

Fooey!

How are our “politics” any different in 2008 than in any previous election year, other than that her husband is a candidate? They aren’t. Moreover, her statement is consistent with what she and her husband have said in other contexts, not to mention what they and most liberal dems have not said for most of the past 40 years.

The quotes of American presidents Barack is proud of, that were “borrowed” from Massachusetts governor DuVal Patrick, end in 1968. Michelle says her husband is the only man that can save America’s soul.

The Obamas, like most liberal dems since 1972, very rarely volunteer their pride in America, and especially not the achievements of its military forces abroad. Rather, they speak of the need for us (non-military) to “protect” or “kids” from our own Commander in Chief.

Obama wants to be President so he can hide the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines in Yucca Flats so that they are the last killed? Or as they protect them with words?

I left the dem party after 18 years an activist and official in no small part due to the evolution of racism as a cancer on the party, as well as the party’s aggression inviting appeasement and hostility to faith on God. The party treats blacks like disabled children, and their race-based laws since the assassination of MLK, Jr. 40 years ago this coming April 4th, have had the effect of disabling millions, not just Michelle.

I was very disheartened by several black callers into Dennis Prager’s radio show last week, even from conservatives, that said until Obama’s recent successes, they hadn’t felt “all in” as fully patriotic Americans.

Who is responsible for this? The dems would say the much overblown Nixon “southern strategy” in 1968/1972 to woo former dem party racists into the GOP.

For democrats, it’s always 1860, 1929 or 1964 in America if a Republican occupies the White House.

Earth to libs. It is the Year of our Lord 2008.

The blame for blacks not feeling “all in”, lies at the feet of Obama’s party and their leftist masters in the culture whose main message is that no one is all in. We are all members of victimized by whites, groups. Only exceptional personalities could resist 40 years of brainwashing. The ones that do, like Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice, are vilified as Uncle Tom betrayers of their “race.”

The left is “all in” for the idea that skin pigmentation limits one’s ability to think for oneself, an idea that is anathema to all America stands for.

The GOP needs to get “all in” to denounce the left in no uncertain moral terms. President Bush has done well with his “soft bigotry of low expectations” and appointments of blacks to positions of great power.

But that is not enough, and the real issue is about much more than race. It is about morally and intellectually bankrupt modern day liberalism and its vessel, the Democratic Party.

Achieve King's dream with equal treatment

Now, what about Caucasians?

I became active in the Democratic Party mainly due to my disdain for the racism I saw in the 1970s. Happily, I watched most of the Republican racism melt under the weight of King's mainstream American and Judeo-Christian moral arguments. Unhappily, I watched disturbing pathologies develop within my party and its members.

Then, during my five years in Atlanta before moving to the Queen City, I experienced what I call a "conservative epiphany," in large part due to the covertly racist behavior of fellow liberal Democrats in their treatment of blacks as inferior victim dependents and their overt disdain for the Christian faith that inspired King.

Radio talk show host Dennis Prager recently described being shown a video of people reacting to a talk show organized by a firm that specializes in analyzing such shows for their producers. Prager noticed that the carefully chosen panel included no blacks. The firm explained that in their previous experience they discovered that after a black person gave their opinion about a show, white people would rarely offer differing opinions for fear of being deemed racist.

This condescending and misplaced white guilt and fear of the Political Correctness Police must end.

Face down the PC crowd

I don't remember Daddy's answer to his eldest son's innocent inquiry some 39 years ago, but there is nothing I better remember than the way he lived his life. Dad employed the non-race-based Golden Rule found in Matthew's Gospel as he coached some of the first racially integrated little league baseball teams in my hometown and insisted that blacks employed with him at Southern Railway be held to the same standards as whites.

King based his civil rights message largely on that New Testament passage, which admonishes us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us, as well as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which acknowledge equality before our Creator and require equal treatment under the law.

Quite simply, whites must stop treating blacks as inferiors, and muster the courage to face down the PC crowd to make King's dream more of a reality.

When we can re-expose the sins of such liberalism that great majorities were educated on in the 70’s and who saw Reagan’s conservative policies correct, then we will have a chance at having fewer un-proud Obamas in the future so that we can better defeat Osamas.

But even more importantly, my heart aches for the joy too many liberals are missing. America deserves to be loved and it is part of the greatest joy of my life that I was properly educated to realize it, and to live it. I previously described this love libs are missing below:

Let the bonding begin

Last week this rooster crowed for John McCain with an unobstructed nose:

It is going to be sweet to watch as McCain becomes the vessel for liberal attacks... We will bond to him as he is unjustly attacked... The man we have so often seen as a jerk will now be our jerk...And we will love him for it.

So it is with no small satisfaction that Gamecock reads that the:

Right rallies to McCain's side

Conservative media outlets rushed with surprising vehemence to defend Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Thursday against a critical article in The New York Times, embracing a maverick they have often attacked.

Rush Limbaugh calls it "the drive-by media ... trying to take him out."

Laura Ingraham, another influential conservative radio host, said the Times waited until McCain was on the brink of the Republican presidential nomination and now is seeking to "contaminate" him with an article that she calls "absurd" and "ridiculous."

CBN.org, the website of the Christian Broadcasting Network, says an attack by the Times is "a conservative badge of honor."

Ironically, one of the worst articles ever written about McCain may help bond him to conservatives because they now have a common enemy: The New York Times.

Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail to Politico: “The story is not the story. The story is the Drive By media turning on its favorite maverick and trying to take him out. The media picked the GOP's candidate, the NYT endorsed him while they sat on this story, and is now, with utter predictability, trying to destroy him.”

Rush is redeemed and the process of the inevitable unification against the Socialist-un-proud-of-the-country-before-the-Obamination-Baptism has begun.

If only more here had the patience of Job or DeVine. But then, when I was an inexperienced child, I reacted as a child, but now...

It's February, and before that, January. The election is in November. Live it.

So now the republican community organizes before our eyes based on principles, policies and a shared grievance against a leftist partisan media.

We don't need Chicago-Obama-like "community organizers" to gin up false grievance among the poor and uneducated that are the prey of the left for dependent victim hood.

More Pearls of Rush Wisdom from The Politico:

Limbaugh added: “This is what you get when you walk across the aisle and try to make these people your friends. I'm not surprised in the least that the NYT would try to take out John McCain. Predicted this, in fact, way back in the early 2000s. Sen. McCain courted the media, cultivated them, even bragged that the media was his ‘base.’ I cringed when I heard it because the media turning on McCain was as predictable as the sun rising in the morning.”

Limbaugh was one of several influential conservatives who, to the delight and relief of the McCain campaign, immediately decided that the behavior of the Times — not the senator — should be the issue.

As I said last week, "There are two kinds of change to choose from. We can become the children of a Europe-like nanny state writ large with no America to protect us from ourselves or we can embrace a change that seeks to reduce government and embrace America exceptional-ism."

Despite all of our problems in the GOP the past seven years, I have always remained confident that the Liberals that own the Democratic Party and that now openly campaign as McGovernite socialists, would simply refuse to let us lose.

The NYT's latest is an example of how they can't help themselves. The utterances of Michelle Obama are even better evidence, and increasingly are those of the vessel of Hope and Change as he bemoans how hard it will be to get Exxon-Mobil's profits and how our brave and successful soldiers are our "kids" as "victims" of President Bush.

I have faith, not mere hope, that truth will carry us to victory in November, so that the leftist change agents will not be allowed to destroy this country.

Long live the Creator ordained rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, i.e. Private Property.

And long live a united against the Left, Grand Ole Party (and conservative Democrats that can't stomach the Obamanation).

[UPDATE]

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot to link to the NYT hit job on McCain, i.e. the Rush declared irrelevant details that the NYT sat on for 10-years they were so "fit to print", or what I call:

No nose (or beak) holding here

Given that one man with courage makes a majority as God spews the lukewarm out of his mouth, how was this rooster so blind to his maverick kinsman standing there all along?

How could I lean to an upstart Mitt, take the late Fred train only to lean to Mitt once more (lukewarms all), when a perfectly hot war hawk/cold on spending John McCain was at all times available?

I suspect this former Democrat for 18 years, won over to the GOP in 2000 based on the conservative principles best embodied by Ronald Reagan, felt entitled to have him (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) delivered up to facilitate my repentance for lacking the courage and wisdom to embrace the real thing when he walked the Earth.

Reality intervened with a conservative epiphany after a nose-holding vote for Gore, but after the post-Super Tuesday reality check the moment Mitt Romney suspended his campaign, I will breathe freely and happily when proudly casting my vote for the senior senator from Arizona for President of the United States on Election Day 2008.

The moment Mitt resigned I was relieved as the scales fell from my eyes and I saw my man McCain in full for the first time, after only having glimpses before.

The glimpses were when the maverick would stand up to the MSM on THE issue.

The War.

After all, while I revere President George W. Bush for his character, tax cuts and judges, it is his steel spine on the war that elevates him in my mind to heroic status.

John McCain, already a hero since his POW years in Vietnam, also has a steel war spine.

You say you want CHANGE? How about a war hawk with attitude instead of the “new tone” usually of silence we have endured the past seven years.

John McCain will be anything but silent. Rather, his old tone many of us resented at times when directed at us, will very soon and for his entire presidency, be directed at the MSM sycophants that are turning on their cable and network co-star as we speak.

It is going to be sweet to watch as McCain becomes the vessel for liberal attacks on conservatism. We will bond to him as he is unjustly attacked due to his age. The man we have so often seen as a jerk will now be our jerk.

And we will love him for it.

This country desperately needs to re-learn what patriotism is.

John McCain embodies patriotism. His mere presence demands respect. Enemies of the United States that pray for a weak democrat will not be tempted to test our champion.

Yes, we have our policy differences with McCain, but McCain has been making some promises with regard to many of those issues.

And John McCain keeps his promises.

After a bitter fight with then Governor Bush in South Carolina in 2000, he campaigned tirelessly for his election and re-election. McCain promises to secure the border first. He will fight to make tax cuts he originally opposed permanent.

We should not require an “uncle” from our nominee. We already have Uncle Sam, and whenever our common uncle wanted John McCain, he answered the call.

From now till Election Day, our love for America must equal that of John’s, which will require that we not only vote with a hands free nose but also give our full-throated support before we pull that polling booth curtain.

On issues with which we disagree, we can fight him and Congress through the courts (McCain-Feingold) or via Rush Limbaugh and our conservative brigades (global warming/amnesty). But let us now and forever disabuse ourselves of the notion that there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between McCain and either Hillary or Obama. Let us eschew the notion that we could win (for the conservative of republican cause) by losing.

Poppycock to all that!

He is ready to mop the floor with either Nurse Ratched or the Obamanation, and is ready to protect this country on Day One.

There are two kinds of change to choose from. We can become the children of a Europe-like nanny state writ large with no America to protect us from ourselves or we can embrace a change that seeks to reduce government and embrace America exceptionalism.

Just as in 1981, in Reagan’s words, we are the change.

The Rooster is crowing as he eyes a new dawn of patriotism led by a true American hero.

So get your hands off your noses and/or beaks and proudly cast your vote for a great man.

Where have you been John McCain?

Just under Gamecock’s beak. I see clearly now.

Feels right!

Calm Down? I didn’t sign up for this

I guess voting in primary and caucus elections are as much of an “emotional” issue for conservative Republicans as illegal immigration. So much so that our post-Super Tuesday front runner for the GOP presidential nomination is compelled to “reach out” to conservatives much as he must reach out to correct his young children.
 
Calm down?

This scolding message was directed by John McCain at the very people he must excite to put the Maverick senator from Arizona in White House.

I didn’t sign up for this.

I signed up with the GOP in 2000 after 18 years in the morally and intellectually bankrupt Party of the Left to scold liberals and their policies that have had America slouching towards Gomorrah at various speeds for more than 40 years. I was won over by the successful Reaganite policies of: peace thru strength that defeated an evil empire and which inform the successful policies of President George W. Bush that have kept us safe for so long; supply-side economics that produced the Reagan Recovery we still enjoy; and a respect for self government by We the People rather than activist judges.

No, I didn’t sign up with the GOP to be scolded by a regular interloper with the Left. But a regular interloper is not as bad as those with whom one interlopes, especially if the applicant for the job we have to fill understands how to perform the main duty, i.e. defend us from all enemies foreign and domestic.

I did not sign up for this, but we have a job to fill in America, and I am signed up as one of We the People for the duration.

I am excited to keep the Left out of the White House, and we can only fill the CEO vacancy with one of the applicants. I am also excited to fill the Congress with conservatives that will stop the bi-partisan adherents of the Church of Man-Made Global Warming from building on their assault against Edison’s light bulb and Ford’s freely made progeny of the Model-T.

But I am most excited to continue ruling with Rush Limbaugh and Redstate to hold the feet of the hired hands in Washington to the fire to prevent open borders, new taxes and defunding of wars we must win.

At age 44, gamecock finally learns once and for all not to put faith in any man. Put faith in the Lord, his principles and the wisdom of We the People.

I suspect I will get really excited when our imperfect vessel is attacked from the Left by ones that named him Maverick.

Hey, how can I, a follower of the first real maverick, Old Hickory himself, one man with courage making majorities, reject the latest incarnation out of hand?

I won't and can't.

But it takes no courage for a Beltway denizen to agree with the beltway chatterers in co-starring roles on Sunday Shows as he slams republicans.

No, the courage will be required when he has to show the same anger towards liberals that turn on him and attack his conservative views that he has so often shown towards fellow Republicans in the Senate Cloak Room. He will be called a racist, warmongering Scrooge. He will have to risk being thought of by them as he seems to think of us with his “calm downs”, as the Left suggests that most of conservative positions are born of “emotion” rather than any substance.

Then, we can all get excited, for shared suffering will bond us. McCain will become one of us rather quickly then. For by becoming our nominee, he is signing up to receive from the Left what we have too often received from him. He will then truly be one of us, and we can all calm down together!

Rooster Crowings/Links for A.D. 2008

[See also links to campaign 2008 columns thru January after New Year's Eve predictions]

Originally appeared as Race 4 2008’s Rooster missed Dawn, but here goes…

Mike Gamecock DeVine:

1 - Southerners and Christians (including Catholics and Evangelicals) astound the Left by failing to establish the first theocratic “impose our views” State in the United States. Instead, judges in Massachusetts establish a Secular Darwinist, Man-Made Global Warming Church theocracy in the Bay State, joining the non-Christian theocratic City-State in San Francisco. Christians whose churches were invaded and taken over for group orgies with Mayoral consent in the city by the Bay are welcomed with open arms by the ecumenical Muslim-Chaldean coalition in Baghdad.

2 - Pakistan fails to devolve into anarchy.

3 - The Taliban fails to take over Afghanistan.

4 - The MSM fails to report the above and continues to refuse to report the late 2007 US victory over al Qaeda in Iraq.

5 - Chelsea Clinton continues press blackout of nine year old reporters from Scholastic America and expands same to include ten-year olds from Nickelodeon.

6 - Bill Clinton finally utters Hillary’s name at a campaign stop in Chicago on February 4, 2008; loses his voice and suffers a myocardial infarction soon thereafter; is hospitalized at University of Chicago Medical Center; and is served with summons charging him with the crime of bigamy and assault and battery with a stogie by a Nurse Ratched.

7 - Colts defeat Redskins in Super Bowl.

8 - LSU defeats Ohio State for mythical BCS college football championship. Refuses Appalachian State challenge.

9 - Lakers defeat Celtics for NBA championship.

10 - Neither Huckabee nor McCain will win SC GOP primary.

11 - Obama wins Democratic Party nomination.

12 - Obama loses election to the GOP nominee.

13 - Mike Gamecock DeVine is vilified for refusing to predict who the GOP nominee, and next President of the United States, will be.

14 - Neither Huckabee nor McCain will be referred to as President-elect during 2008.
