Due to their obsessive over-use of the term, the Left has slurred the meaning out of the word "racism."  It used to mean a sincere belief of one's superiority owing to genetics or heritage.  Then the Left tired to change the lexicon to get the word to mean "anyone who disagrees with us."  Now it’s just a phonetic arrangement of letters.  It means nothing.

Why didn't they mention San Fransico? I would think you would be more likely to get something there than at a NASCAR race. Is this some of Pelosi's BS?

I'm not buying the Hillary popularity contest results.......Even Bill Clinton wasn't 50% popular with the voters on either of his elections, and we're supposed to believe Hillary is MORE popular than Bill ?

The facts are being inflated by the MSM...I'm sure that withinn the MSM the popularity of Hillary is somewhere around 90%, and being surrounded by themselves all the time, they don't see/feel/smell anything in the wind to tell them there is a Dead Cow on the road to the White house.  

MSM is selling the "vote for the Popular Candidate" everyone else is....Elect Hillary Class president, she's the most popular.

Is Hillary more popular than 47% Bill ?  I don't think so....I'm not buying it. Not based upon her Senate performance, after all, she's a member of the 11% Congress Approval ratings, and I don't see a turnaround in the near Future.

I see an Iraq War turnaround, and a good 'ole American congressional Backlash......A Pelosi/Reid wiener Roast with Senator Hillary getting lots of Collateral smoke Damage.

I'm not buying what MSM is selling, and it's a Democratic MSM smoke bomb.

Has anyone read Ann Coulter's latest article? I wasn't aware of Huckabee's lame stance on illegal imigration. I just don't get it.

Examiner: Google bans anti-MoveOn.org ads

...The ads banned by Google were placed by a firm working for Republican
Sen. Susan Collins’ re-election campaign. Collins is seeking her third
term.

Earlier this week, Google told Lance Dutson, president of Maine Coast
Designs, that the ads he placed for Collins had been removed and would
not be allowed to resume because they violated Google’s trademark
policy.

Google’s Web site states, “Google takes allegations of trademark
infringement very seriously and, as a courtesy, we’re happy to
investigate matters raised by trademark owners.” That suggests Google
acted in response to a complaint by MoveOn.org. ...

...The banned advertisements said, “Susan Collins is MoveOn’s primary
target. Learn how you can help” and “Help Susan Collins stand up to the
MoveOn.org money machine.” The ads linked to Collins’ campaign Web site
with a headline reading “MoveOn.org has made Susan Collins their #1
target.” The Collins Web site claims that MoveOn has contributed
$250,000 to her likely Democratic opponent and has run nine ads against
her costing nearly $1 million. The Web site also displays MoveOn.org’s
controversial “General Betray Us” ad. ...

Trade mark policies?

This is the company which owns YouTube, a publicly shared opportunity to upload whatever, yet last week Rush mentioned all of the corners he was forced to cut in order to use it.

Just like the Betray Us half price deal, media bias is being shoved into our faces on a more consistent basis. Maybe people will warm up to sen Clinton or learn to enjoy the new Google features.

Sen Clinton: Founder of Media Matters

TimesOnLine - Pope attacks Iran at Jewish Congress

"Pope Benedict XVI told leaders of the World Jewish Congress that Iran was “an issue of big concern” to him."

"At a meeting at the Vatican, the Pope spoke of his concern about rising anti-Semitism and described how he wanted to use educational tools to counter the hatred of the Iranian leadership towards the Jewish people and Israel."

"Speaking to journalists in Rome, he (Maram Stern, Secretary of the World Jewish Congress) said the Pope had “recognised the question of Iran as an issue of big concern for him.”"

And that's all there is in the article pointing to comments on Iran by the Pope.  Either the "Iranian leadership" has suddenly ended their "hatred towards the Jewish people and Israel" or the Times using the word "attack" in the headline is misleading at best.

As you may know, on Wednesday October 10th Hannity and Colmes aired a segment about the real Cuban healthcare system.  In the segment they showed exclusive video taken inside Cuba's hospitals by dissident doctor Darsi Ferrer Ramirez.  

Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25_RgM1jHeo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ebabalublog%2Ecom%2F

The video was originally intended to be aired on ABCs 20/20 and that program did air a short segment taking Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" to task for it's portrayal of Cuban healthcare (as a teaser for a one-hour special on American healthcare).  But ABC folded under pressure from the Cuban government and according to John Stossel members of ABCs Havana bureau were called in by the Castro regime in answer for the coverage (NB covered this at the time) Which is what really makes this a journalism story.

Since the footage was obtained at great personal risk to Dr. Ferrer Ramirez who lives in Cuba, the person in America that coordinated its filming and shipping off the island shared a copy with Hannity and Colmes who did in fact air it.  While they focused on the issue of socialized medicine, the real story in my opinion lies in the media's willingness to "play ball" with the Castro regime in a way it never would with our own government or other governments around the world.

For too long, too many media outlets have been taking the Castro regime's propaganda at face value.  The problem is that many of the big news gathering organizations have Cuba bureaus which they are afraid to lose if they report too critically.  Recently Stephen Gibbs of the BBC was expelled because his coverage was a little too realistic for the liking of the regime.   But the event, which happened at the same time that the Chicago Tribune's reporter, Gary Marx, was also expelled, raised nary a blip on the media radar.  And the reason the Tribune and BBC and ABC continue to put up with the censorship is that they want to have a Cuba bureau to report the "big story" of Castro's death.  In the meantime they have made a Faustian bargain.  One has to ask oneself what good is a Cuba bureau if you can't use it to report the news, the real news?

I would love to see NB discuss this great achievement by Hannity and Colmes of broadcasting to the American people something they rarely get to see, real life inside one of the world's few remaining communist countries and take ABC to task for caving in to the pressure of a totalitarian dictatorship.

One of my employees ask this me this morning that if Hillary became president would she bring back the stuff that was stolen from the WH?

Yesterday I was watching Fox show pictures of the stiking UAW workers leaving a plant. Was that a Honda Accord leaving behind a Dodge Durango? I thought they weren't allow to park in the lot.

Who appointed Jimma Carter as god?

Here is a good story on the progress of the Iraqi Army's rebuilding effort.

And here is another story about how Al-Qaeda is definitely NOT a driving force in the violence in Iraq. Isn't that what you said, Leon?

Well Hillary is spewing her lying leftist BS in Canterbuy, NH right now on C-SPAN....

When I'm elected the era of cowboy diplomacy is over!

She keeps saying when I am elected, repeatedly, as if it is inevitable...just like the nit-wit polls they have out now...more than a YEAR before the election.

I cannot wait until the election...I cannot wait.

The witch had better learn how to make a real well concession speech...without screeching...or the cackle!

By the way she is talking in a real soft phony voice starting out, by the time I get done with this post she will be getting louder and louder, she cannot help herself...no matter how many hours they try to train her.

I often wonder what the ratio of liberals would be in political office if the mainstream media was completely objective.

I think if this were the case and they didn't have the 365 day a year free advertising for them and against their foes, their chances of winning political office would only be decent in extremely liberal places, which wouldn't matter anyway.

Congress would be an 80-20 split Reps-Dems, at best. Republicans would nominate more conservative people instead of having to so often elect the ones who move to the center and compromise their principals. Libertarians would have a shot as well. Constitution party would have a shot too.

The media is a very powerful tool for the liberals, though none seem to understand that's the case. (or don't want to admit it since we call them on it)
