MSNBC’s Olbermann Blames Blames Palin, Tea Party, Beck & O’Reilly For The US Rep. Giffords Shooting

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Keith Olbermann’s special comments on the US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shooting?

Answer: He blames the Safeway Massacre on Sarah Palin, Rep. Allen West (R-FL), the Tea Party, Sharron Angle, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly.

I am sorry, but this is absolutely pathetic and irresponsible. Perhaps the folks over at MSNBC did not hand Mr. Olbermann the memo, but there has not been any absolute motive reported so far. Also, it is interesting that Mr. Olbermann forgot to include these crucial details about the shooter:

• He shot and killed a Federal Judge that was appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush.
• His favorite books included Hilter’s Mein Kampf and Karl Marx’s Communist Maniefesto.
• One of his former high school classmates said, “As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal.”
• One of his favorite videos on YouTube was of a person dressed as the Grim Reaper burning the American flag.

I cannot speak for Keith Olbermann, but that sure does not sound like the typical Sarah Palin or Tea Party supporter. In all honesty, it sounds like someone that leans left of the political spectrum. Either way, the shooter – Jared Loughner – was more insane than he was anything else. I just wish Kieth Olbermann and all of the other irresponsible journalists in the liberal mainstream media would realize this.

Here’s an interesting refresher that some of these so-called journalists (Keith Olbermann, Paul Krugman, etc.) should take a look at:

The liberal mainstream media should learn a lesson from The National Review’s Jonah Goldberg:

I’ve been trying to follow the story today while balancing some other obligations. I’ve been reading the instant-reaction on Twitter and on the web and I’ve been trying to filter out the urge to vent my rage at those who immediately shoe-horned these awful crimes into their ideological prism. There have been some truly disgusting displays of opportunism out there. I will confess to having made those kinds of mistakes in the past and I try very hard to learn from those mistakes.

If I had my druthers, the news networks would ban political commentators of all stripes for the first 24 hours after these kinds of tragedies. The rush to be wrong first is just too hard for some to resist.  If anyone cares, my column on the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting captures pretty well my feelings about the day.

Anyway, I’m going to hold off commenting until we know more. My thoughts and prayers to the families of all concerned.

Until more details have been released, I just hope the so-called journalists, such as Keith Olbermann, would keep their hatred for the right locked away inside their demented minds.

Unfortunately, I am sure more garbage like this will pop up over this weekend. Oh wait… It has already started.

Sen. Levin (D-MI) Hit In The Face With A Pie

Wonder what you would find if you frisked U.S. Senator Karl Levin (D-MI) at his town hall meeting in northern Michigan yesterday?

Answer: A pie in the face!

Yeah… Yeah… Yeah… I know what you all are thinking right now: “It’s got to be some crazy right-winger who did this!” Wrong, think again!

Fox News reports:

A woman identified as an anti-war protester hit U.S. Sen. Carl Levin in the face with an apple pie during the Armed Services Committee chairman’s meeting with constituents in northern Michigan, authorities said Monday.

The senator took a question near the end of the Monday morning meeting in Big Rapids from a man who said he was a student, Levin’s office said in a news release. The man read a long statement, then a woman came up and hit Levin with a pie.

Big Rapids police arrested Ahlam M. Mohsen, 22, of Coldwater on a felony charge of stalking, as well as misdemeanor counts of assault and disorderly conduct. She has no listed telephone number in Coldwater.

Mohsen told the Big Rapids Pioneer she hoped “to send a message that liberals and Democrats are just as implicated in the violence (of war) as the Republicans.”

Mohsen was one of three protesters arrested in January 2009 after a sit-in at Levin’s office in Lansing, according to Michigan State University’s campus newspaper. She told the newspaper then that the group wanted the United States to begin cutting military and other support to Israel and call for an investigation of Israeli war crimes.

The earlier arrest, plus the escalation to a physical assault, formed the basis for the stalking charge, Officer Erik Small told The Associated Press. He said Mohsen was being held without bond and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday.

Police said the man who read the statement before Mohsen hit Levin with the pie and a woman who videotaped the attack also could face charges. Police do not have the videotape, Little said.

Levin appeared to take the pie toss in stride.

Desperate times call for desperate measures! You know it’s a bad sign for Democrats when the far-left loonies, who help get them elected, start turning on them. I think this sound effect is in order, don’t you think?

I will add the video clip if it ever surfaces on the internet.

Exit Question: Why does this moron have to be a student from Michigan State University? She is making my alma mater look bad! Not cool liberal loony tune! Feel free to let her know what you think.

Rep. Grayson (D-FL) Bills Taxpayers For “Greatest Hits” DVD

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) and how he’s spending your tax dollars?

Answer: He’s spending them on his “greatest hits” DVD!

No, he’s not a musician. Unfortunately, it’s a DVD filled with video highlights from his first term in office. Lame, pointless, and pathetic? Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The Orlando Sentinel reports:

If U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson were a rock star, his latest PR blitz — a DVD sent to tens of thousands of Central Florida residents — would be called Grayson’s Greatest Hits.

The 90-minute disc features video highlights from his first term in office, including one of him grilling Fed Chairman Ben Bernankeand another in which the Orlando Democrat preaches on the need to teach schoolchildren about the U.S. Constitution.

The DVD comes wrapped inside a mailer covered with promotional slogans: “Congressman Alan Grayson, Hard at Work for You,” “He works hard. He pays attention. He gets things done,” and “Video DVD Inside: Watch Congressman Grayson in Action!”

In many ways, it’s the perfect campaign video — with one key difference.

Thanks to perks given to all members of Congress, it’s not Grayson’s campaign but taxpayers who footed the nearly $73,000 bill to produce and mail the DVD to 100,000 homes in Grayson’s district of Lake, Marion, Orange and Osceola counties.

It’s a stunt that drew howls from Republicans, who complained that Grayson was abusing the congressional privilege of franking that allows lawmakers to send taxpayer-paid newsletters and other mail to residents.

“This is an outrageous abuse of taxpayer dollars, and it goes to show that Alan Grayson is completely out of touch with Central Florida,” said state Rep. Kurt Kelly of Ocala, one of seven Republicans looking to unseat Grayson this fall.

“This is just ridiculous behavior. What congressman would do this in the face of a huge budget deficit?” he asked.

To answer the columnist’s last question, Rep. Alan Grayson… That’s who.

If central Floridians elect this man again, I think we will have to issue straight-jackets for those in his congressional district. The man is a joke and an absolute clown.

Here’s what his “greatest hits” DVD should have included:

Rep. Grayson is a disgrace!

Harry Reid (D-NV): Auto Bailouts Saved… Ford?

Sen. Majority Leader Reid (D-NV).

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s thoughts on the automotive industry bailouts?

Answer: He believes that Ford, which refused to take government bailout money, only survived because of the government bailout.

🙄 Hmm… How does that one work? Simple: It doesn’t.

In reality (not Harry Reid’s liberal dream-world), Ford did have the chance to accept government bailout money, but chose not to. Isn’t it interesting that the only one of the Big Three who didn’t accept government money is doing the best?

What would have happened if none of them accepted those taxpayer bailout dollars? The Blog Prof believes that the government’s interference in the process did more harm than good:

Without the bailouts, GM and Chrysler could have gone through bankruptcy restructuring without the 800-lb government gorilla on their backs. As it is, the bankruptcy restructuring occurred in a way to help Obama’s primary constituency – unions – rather than the long-term health of the companies. We are yet to see whether the restructuring will work, but if it does, it will be despite the government takeover, not because of it. There are in fact plenty of good people still working for the autos. I know because some of them have been my best engineering students.

And Ed Morrissey – from Hot Air – sums it up:

And don’t forget that we spent over $60 billion on those bailouts just to see the companies go into bankruptcy anyway.  A proper bankruptcy would have maintained order in capital markets and reallocated resources rationally without the $62 billion in taxpayer money that we had to borrow for the bailout.  As we service that debt, it will come out of the pockets of Americans who might otherwise have spent it on actual growth-producing activities — like buying cars.

Fire Harry Ried! Support Sharon Angle’s campaign today!

This Week’s Failures Of Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX-18)

Rep. Sheila Jackson (D-TX-18).

Wonder what you would find if you frisked the comments made by U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX)?

Answer: Something went wrong during her education process.

Reminder: This lady somehow made it through Yale and onto the University of Virginia Law School…

Moe Lane – from Red State – did the congresswoman a favor and pointed out a slight flaw:

For the benefit of any natural born damned fools that may have wandered in: there is no South Vietnam anymore.  It was conquered by North Vietnam in 1975, shortly after a Democratic Congress – yes, the same political party as Rep. Jackson-Lee’s – defunded the defense of South Vietnam, in defiance of our promises made to that unhappy country as part of the cease-fire that ended the Vietnam War.  They are not living together side by side as two countries.  Because, well, again, the North Vietnamese conquered the South.

Oops! Does Rep. Jackson-Lee’s ignorance stop there? Of course not! The congresswoman told the NAACP this week that those who wore sheets lifted them off and are now wearing tea party clothing:

And I thank you professor very much. I’m going to be engaging you with those very powerful numbers that you have offered on what the tea party recognizes, uh, or is recognized as. Might I add my own P.S.? All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing [applause], uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the tea party. Don’t you be fooled.  [voices: “That’s right.”, applause] Those who used to wear sheets are now being able to walk down the aisle and speak as a patriot because you will not speak loudly about the lack of integrity of this movement. Don’t let anybody tell you that those who spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill for all of America or those who said Congresswoman Jackson-Lee’s braids were too tight in her hair had anything to do with justice and equality and empowerment of the American people. Don’t let them fool you on that [applause]….

Okay… Now this woman is just being a complete idiot. Plus, I am glad she brought up the “people spit on us as we were walking to vote on a health care bill” and “called us racial slurs” issue, because it is completely FALSE. The ignorance of some of these liberals in office perplexes me at times. Andrew Breitbart already put that claim to rest when he offered a $100,000 reward to anyone producing such evidence. In the end, the place was crawling with cameras and no one has stepped forward… Funny huh?

Still not enough proof that this congresswoman lacked something in her education process? In 2005, she asked if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong. Seriously!?

And to think… These are the people in office that truly believe they can run one-sixth of our economy (health-care) and regulate our financial system. I don’t know about you, but this is quite frightening!

Personally, I think this post is enough proof that this woman needs to be removed from office. Lucky for us, there’s a Republican running against her! Please, click below and support John Faulk for Congress:

Speaker Pelosi: Jobless Benefits Are the Fastest Way To Create Jobs

House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA).

Wonder what you would find if you frisked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) yesterday while she was talking to reporters?

Answer: She believes that unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs.

😯

Sorry for posting two ‘Liberal Smarts’ blog entries in a row, but this pure ignorance coming from Speaker Pelosi just made my jaw drop.

Click here if you would like to read Ed Morrissey’s analysis of Speaker Pelosi’s logic regarding this issue. Hint: She is off on another planet if she truly believes the rhetoric that just came out of her mouth.

It’s clear: It is not possible for Liberals and Democrats to figure out any way to tackle America’s ongoing recession that doesn’t involve spending enormous amounts of hard-earned taxpayer money!

Liberal’s plan for everything: Got a problem? We can solve it by tossing a thousand-plus page piece of legislation and a handful of other people’s cash at it. Ta-da!

What a joke.

Democrat County Supervisor: Arizona Does Not Border Mexico

Umm... Really!?

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Democrat County Supervisor Peggy West at a board hearing in Milwaukee, WI about whether to boycott Phoenix, AZ because of the state’s new immigration law?

Answer: Apparently she believes that Arizona is “a ways removed from the border.”

😆 Wow! Can this lady actually be serious!? Ladies and gentlemen… I give you the intellectual firepower of the modern day Democrat Party!

A round of applause goes here…

Yeah, yeah, yeah… Chill out liberals, because I was only kidding. A majority of you, I’m sure (and I hope), advanced past 1st grade geography.

On a serious note though, Allahpundit – from Hot Air – has some serious questions he would probably like to ask this young lady:

Does this person really think that having a token force of National Guardsmen at the border somehow solves Arizona’s problem, particularly when they’re not authorized to stop illegals? And what’s the business near the end about Jan Brewer having a direct pipeline to Obama? When she first asked to meet with him, he turned her down; then, when he did meet with her, he made a pledge of new resources that he evidently has no intention of keeping. Exit question: Did West read anything about this issue before pushing for a boycott?

To answer Allahpundit’s question: No.

My exit question: Can she even read?… Or at least read a dang map?

Liberal Pushes Woman And Punches Man During Protest Against Government Bailouts

A Violent Liberal? Never!

Wonder what you would find if you frisked a peaceful Conservative protest in Greensboro, North Carolina yesterday?

Answer: A liberal decided to resort to violence… Go figure!

Hmm… Once again, I thought it was the Tea Partiers and Conservatives who are the individuals out there inciting violence in America? And once again, we have more proof showing the exact opposite: It is the left/liberals who are pathetic individuals that need to resort to violence because they cannot simply articulate their arguments.

FOX 8 reports:

A protest in Greensboro turned violent Tuesday when a former candidate for Congress and NC Senate was punched in the face.

Nathan Tabor, a business owner and head of the Forsyth County Republican Party and a former candidate for public office, says he and 25 other people were protesting government bailouts in front of Rep. Mel Watt’s (D-N.C.) Greensboro office on Tuesday.

“We were just there to do our constitutional right to have a peaceful protest.” Tabor said.

Tabor says they were protesting a proposed amendment that would give companies money to help with rising credit card fees. He says he was videotaping the event when Govenor Spencer, of Greensboro, approached the protest.

“About that time a gentleman walks around the corner and walks into the middle of the crowd saying it’s all George W. Bush’s fault. It’s all Dick Cheney’s fault.” Tabor said.

The video shows Spencer and at least one protester arguing. Tabor says he stopped recording as the protest began to conclude and walked over to the sidewalk where his wife and 5-year-old daughter were standing.

“As I walked around the corner this gentleman pushed me. And when he pushed me the first time I turned my camera on and brought my camera up. I said please don’t push me. And when I said that he slapped my camera.” Tabor said. “He pushes me again. In the video you can see my body fall back. And I did not say anything to him, I didn’t engage him. I was going to, until he touched me wife.”

Tabor says Spencer pushed his wife and he pushed Spencer back. The video shows Spencer then punching Tabor in the face.

Props to Mr. Tabor for handling himself extraordinarily well considering what happened.

Side-Note: Hey, remember when President Obama told his supporters that they need to “get in their faces”? Hmm… Who is inciting violence again? Perhaps, it’s the Messiah himself.

Stay classy liberals…

Liberal Wonders Why Tea Partiers Aren’t Protesting AZ Immigration Law

Wonder what you would find if you frisked Eugene Robinson’s – from The Washington Post – latest op-ed column?

Answer: He wonders why the Tea Party activists aren’t protesting Arizona’s new immigration law.

Really Mr. Robinson???… You’re throwing out the race-card? Figures…

Activists for Latino and immigrant rights — and supporters of sane governance — held weekend rallies denouncing the new law and vowing to do everything they can to overturn it. But where was the Tea Party crowd? Isn’t the whole premise of the Tea Party movement that overreaching government poses a grave threat to individual freedom? It seems to me that a law allowing individuals to be detained and interrogated on a whim — and requiring legal residents to carry identification documents, as in a police state — would send the Tea Partyers into apoplexy. Or is there some kind of exception if the people whose freedoms are being taken away happen to have brown skin and might speak Spanish?

Personally, I think Mr. Eugene Robinson should have stayed home today and kept his phalanges off his (assuming) ritzy Apple MacBook, because it would have saved him the humiliation of writing this op-ed column.

First of all, this Arizona immigration law does not allow law enforcement officers to detain and interrogate people solely “on a whim.” I give Eugene Robinson major props here for his excellent exaggerations. Click here to read the bill.

Second, the Tea Party movement is about limiting government to its responsibilities. In this case, the government is not overreaching here, because the federal government is SUPPOSE to protect our borders and enforce immigration laws. Unfortunately, both Republicans and Democrats have not grown a spine on this issue and continue to fail at maintaining the integrity of our borders and preserving the concept of U.S. citizenship. Therefore Arizona has been forced to man-up and take care of its citizens.

Lastly, there’s nothing wrong with legal American citizens wanting their borders protected so that state unemployment rates decrease, health-care costs decrease, and their property values increase. Yup… That must be racist. 🙄 <– That’s sarcasm if you couldn’t tell.

In the end, Eugene Robinson proves once again that it is difficult for those on the far-left to understand what is and is not a proper role of our government.

Rep. Hare (D-IL): “I Don’t Worry About The Constitution”

Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL).

Wonder what you would find if you frisked U.S. Rep. Phil hare (D-FL) at one of his town hall meetings?

Answer: He admits that he does not care about the United States Constitution.

Just wonderful… It’s always reassuring to see an elected official admit that he does not care about our country’s Constitution. Glad he took an oath to defend a document that he’s obviously not took the time to read.

Future reminder for Rep. Hare (D-IL): “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” comes from the Declaration of Independence… Different document there buddy. This is why Congress has the lowest approval rating it has ever seen and why America does not trust politicians.

Side-Note: Rep. Hare (D-IL) claims he read the 2,000+ page monstrosity THREE times… Yeah, and I’m 6’8″ and about to get drafted first round to the NBA. 😆
