Brian Williams, pretending to be appalled by AZ Governor Jan Brewer’s audacity to stick her finger in President Obama’s face comically asks, “Who have you ever seen talking to the President like this?”.

To which the reply is simply… “Well, YOU, douchebag.”

From the “Heartland Strategy” of the Democratic Leadership Conference:

…complete with bullseyes and entitled, “Behind Enemy Lines”…

So did this “climate of hate” contribute to Saturday’s massacre?

Olbermann went on another self-righteous diatribe Saturday regarding the shooting spree at Rep. Giffords’ meeting that morning. He ranted incessantly about all the conservatives that must be to blame - from Palin to Beck to O’reilly to Sharron Angle and the Tea Party - for the massacre.

Yes, it’s all conservatives’ fault.

Nevermind that while you’re calling for an end to “gun metaphors”, your own community organizer in chief, Barack Obama, is out rallying supporters by telling them how to “counter Republican attacks” like this:

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

Nevermind that while you’re casting all blame on Conservatives creating a “climate of hate”, you’re completely ignoring the fact that the climate of hate is almost exclusively a progressive movement.

Nevermind that even when you try to use a historical reference to bolster your point, you highlight your ignorance to such a degree that you actually end up undermining your entire lengthy, boring diatribe.

We will not return to the 1850s, when a pro-slavery Congressman nearly beat to death an anti-slavery Senator…

Here’s a free history lesson, Keith… that pro-slavery Congressman, Preston Brooks, was a DEMOCRAT. His victim, the anti-slavery Senator, was Charles Sumner… a REPUBLICAN.

Next time you try to get all self-righteous… you might want to do a little research first. Idiot.

While the media is rushing to blame Sarah Palin for this weekend’s massacre because her website had Giffords’ district in a “bullseye”, they conveniently choose to ignore that the most popular liberal blog also had a target on Giffords’ district…

Who to primary? Well, I’d argue that we can narrow the target list by looking at those Democrats who sold out the Constitution last week. I’ve bolded members of the Blue Dogs for added emphasis.

Not all of these people will get or even deserve primaries, but this vote certainly puts a bulls eye on their district. If we can field enough serious challengers, and if we repeat the Donna Edwards and Joe Lieberman stories a few more times, well then, our elected officials might have no choice but to be more responsive. Because if we show them that their AT&T lobbyist buddies can’t save their jobs, they’ll pay more attention to those who can.

…but don’t expect them to either admit that or point similar blame his direction.

And while the same media is breathlessly talking up a “climate of hate” allegedly borne of “right wing pundits”, let’s not forget where the real climate of hate exists.

If there was any doubt left about the credibility of Mainstream Media, let this be a final nail in the coffin. Rest in peace, journalistic integrity.

See how the Jeremiah Wright story was spiked by mainstream media during the 2008 election cycle.

The MSM seems to be having a hard time finding “people of color” at Tea Party rallies… Really? Well, let us help you out.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the MSM, in their infinite left-wing bias, is willfully ignoring the facts on the ground to continue their meme that the Tea Party rallies are nothing more than KKK rallies sans hoods and burning crosses… or they completely suck at gathering the news.

Either way, it would explain why most of them are going belly up.

…on the golf course, that is.

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation’s president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead.

On a cool but sun-drenched Sunday, the president and three golfing companions went to Andrews Air Force Base to play 18 holes. It is the 32nd time Mr. Obama has played golf since taking office Jan. 20, 2009, according to CBS Radio’s Mark Knoller.

Thirty-two rounds of golf in 15 months. Remember when President Bush caught so much grief for all the time he spent playing golf instead of leading the country? And yet…

Mr. Bush played just 24 times. His last time as president was Oct. 13, 2003.

Good thing the MSM has different priorities, or this could become an issue for our community organizer in chief while he oversees the “illegal war” in Iraq and another in Afghanistan.

Priorities, baby… priorities.

First, there was Obama’s accidental moment of honesty with Joe the Plumber… now comes this accidental moment of honesty from Democrat Congressman Phil Hare of Illinois:

After just 3 minutes of watching this guy dance and stumble around questions, I question the intellect of the constituents in the 17th District that sent this guy to Washington. He doesn’t even seem qualified to run the french fry station at McDonalds. Just take a few minutes to watch this video of a United States Congressman and you’ll have a complete and full understanding of why this country is currently in the state that it’s in.

Speaking of burger-flipping jobs, I hope he’s polishing his resume…

Sorry, Al Gore, but your scam has been exposed. For those of you who haven’t been following the story, it appears some scientists involved in building the Global Warming movement have admitted to fudging the data to bolster their claims… and to weed out data that would contradict the very premise of the Global Warming religious movement.

Here’s some background on the unfolding scandal…

And here’s a nice video that puts Al Gore’s “hockey stick” into historical perspective:

Dan Rather would probably call it “Fake, but settled science“…

UPDATE: Algore got caught making up some statistics of his own in Copenhagen…

Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years. In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

However, the climatologist whose work Mr Gore was relying upon dropped the former Vice-President in the water with an icy blast. “It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

…how inconvenient.

The headline:

CNN Poll: Double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan

The lede:

Two out of three Americans who watched President Barack Obama’s health care reform speech Wednesday night favor his health care plans — a 14-point gain among speech-watchers, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll of people who tuned into Obama’s address Wednesday night to a joint session of Congress.

At this point, most people stop reading and move on to the next article. But for those who stick around to see the details behind the claim see this:

The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican.

A 27-point gap between party affiliations and only a 14-point gain. Seems like a potentially different claim than “double-digit post-speech jump for Obama plan”.

In fact, CNN even admits, although buried in the last line of the article, that they oversampled Democrats by a double-digit margin:

Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.

Rinse, repeat.

UPDATE: Upon further evaluation, the details of the recent poll show an even worse trend for Obama.

Question 1. What was your overall reaction to President Obama’s speech tonight – very positive, somewhat positive, somewhat negative or very negative?

Somewhat or very positive: 77%
Somewhat or very negative: 21%

But…. they offer a comparison of the results from Obama’s State of the Union in February.

Somewhat or very positive: 92%
Somewhat or very negative: 8%

The takeaway from this comparison is that despite oversampling Democrats by a double-digit margin in last night’s poll, there was a 15% decline in those who reacted positively and a 13% increase in those who reacted negatively to Obama’s speech.

Question 2. Do you think the policies being proposed by Barack Obama will move the country in the right direction or the wrong direction?

Pre-speech
Right Direction: 60%
Wrong Direction: 35%

Post-speech
Right Direction: 70%
Wrong Direction: 27%

A 10% increase in “right direction” responses in a pool that CNN admits is “is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole” isn’t all that stellar. But look what story emerges when comparing these results with those of his prior address to Congress…

Pre-speech
Right Direction: 71%
Wrong Direction: 26%

Post-speech
Right Direction: 88%
Wrong Direction: 11%

After his State of the Union, the 88% of respondents thought Obama’s policies will move the country in the right direction, but that support had dropped 28% to 60% just before last night’s speech… and only bounced back to 70% afterward… even when CNN oversampled Democrats by 27 points. A little different story than what CNN touts in the headlines and lede paragraph.

To add another dimension to Obama’s dismal performance, compare his numbers (even with the flawed sampling) with those of Bill Clinton’s in 1993 just before HillaryCare laid the foundation for the Republican Revolution:

Obama’s Healthcare Reform Plan (2009):
Support - 67%
Oppose - 29%

Clinton’s Healthcare Reform Plan (1993):
Support - 67%
Oppose - 17%

The support appears to remain stagnant (though the numbers are still questionable in light of other polling on the subject)… but the opposition is almost 60% higher this time around.

There’s your story, CNN. I dare you to report the facts.
