Stephanie Miller Show: Obama Haters Should Try 'Jumping Out of a Plane Without a Parachute'

On Friday’s Stephanie Miller show, the host was typically adoring Obama’s snarky remarks about how the conservatives are flat-earthers when it comes to the awesome potential for green energy solutions. The forward-thinkers and the scientific minds hand over a half-billion dollars to Solyndra, apparently.

Unfortunately for Miller, her sidekick Jim Ward (who does impressions), completely lost his cool and said Obama’s critics “should test the alleged laws of gravity by jumping out of a plane without a parachute.” It’s another Playtex bottle of the milk of human kindness from liberal talk radio.

MILLER: Yeah I think the President got off a good one the other day didn’t he when he was talking he said ‘if some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail they must have been founding members of the flat earth society. They wouldn’t have believed the world was round’ Ah just in relation to the whole energy debate, correct?

REP. ADAM SCHIFF: Exactly, they would have been talking about the alleged round earth theory.

JIM WARD: I think they should test the alleged laws of gravity by jumping out of a plane without a parachute.

MILLER: Oh now!

This Obama oration in suburban Largo, Maryland was the one Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler whacked for inaccuracy: "In a speech on energy Thursday, the president took aim at the “cynics and naysayers” who dismiss potential new sources of energy, such as wind and solar.  Leave aside the canard about most Europeans believing the earth was flat before Columbus — that’s an elementary-school tale with little basis in fact."

As for the next bit of the speech, where Obama claimed President Rutherford  Hayes was hostile to the invention of the telephone, Kessler wrote, “the trouble is, historians say that there is no evidence Hayes ever said this. Not only that, contrary to Obama’s jab, Hayes was interested in new technology. According to Ari Hoogenboom, who wrote the definite biography, ‘Rutherford B. Hayes: Warrior and President’ Hayes entertained Thomas A. Edison at the White House. Edison demonstrated the phonograph for the president....Hayes, in fact, was such a technology buff that he installed the first telephone in the White House."

He got off a "good one" in November 2008 too, and has been getting off a good one on America ever since.   He's getting off lots of "good ones" against the United States Constitution.  Our nation is paying dearly for all his good ones.

I swear everytime I think of that, I can't help but think, this guy taught the Constitution at a university????  Who's constitution?

...It should anyway. How in God's name did the American people become so freaking shallow as to elect this guy? 53% anyway. Makes no sense, but as a nation, we get the leaders we deserve.

That this man can so openly, repeatedly, and blatantly lie to us, expecting us to believe him, (I think) puts his maniacal ego on a part with some of the most evil leaders in history.

Can you imagine what this wannabe Che would do without the restraints of the Constitution he despises so much? One need only to refer to the failed history of socialism and communism to find out.

Its not paranoia if they're really out to get you...

The people who are slamming us Republicans don't get it. It's not that I'm against alternative energy, It's that I'm against the government trying to dictate what goes on in the marketplace. If the feds would move aside, I'm sure some great minds will come up with some great ideas without the government's help. It's not its job to create jobs or tell us what type of energy to use.

Submitted by rbosque on Fri, 03/16/2012 - 11:27pm.

Yeah, I'm gonna jump out of an airplane without a parachute just because liberals want our tax money to heavily subsidize an industry that in the real world would go belly up, and I don't.

If these green projects are such a great idea, why are they not making money? In the fantasy world liberals live in, these things make sense. In the REAL world, we throw money at losing technologies and get nothing in return. Guess what? We live in the real world, and we're getting nothing in return.

The free markets should determine if these ideas are viable, we should not be forced to pay for liberal fantasies.

Their hyperbole is just idiotic.

Re-birth of the Birthers

Re-birth of the Birthers

When a grinning Barack Hussein Obama finally produced his long form Hawaiian birth certificate on April 27, 2011–following years of questions fueled by strong suspicions he was born in Kenya–he felt certain all doubts that he was constitutionally-qualified to hold the office of the presidency had been laid to rest.

They hadn’t.

Principal contributing factors for the qustions related to the inexplicably inordinate delays in providing the Long Form certificate and the million or so dollars the Obama camp spent to avoid the minimalist task of simply displaying a piece of paper. Neither the delay nor the money expended made any sense.

Testimony to the lingering doubts, Arizona’s Sherrif Joe Arpaio recently launched a privately-funded 6 month investigation into the matter of exactly who and what our president was, Kenyan or American?

As he announced at a press conference, no major media source had investigated the controversy so his cold case posse of volunteers would look into the issue in order to resolve it once and for all.

Arpaio said after receiving the posse report, ”We believe probable cause exists indicating that forgery and fraud may have been committed, not only in President Obama’s long-form birth certificate, but more disturbing evidence suggests that another fraud may have been committed regarding his selected service registration card. Based on all of the evidence presented and investigated I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic.” (http://abcn.ws/zrMUTU)

Although Arpaio was convinced that both Obama’s birth certificate and draft card were forgeries, he isn’t prepared to accuse the president, yet. The investigation is continuing.

Left unmentioned by the sheriff is the issue of Obama’s Social Security card number which was originally issued to a French immigrant born in 1890 and re-issued to Obama in the state of Connecticut in 1977. The 15 year old Barry was residing in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents at the time and never resided in the Nutmeg State.

At least one blogger has suggested the grandparents’ connection with well-connected Connecticut socialite, Helen Canfield, helped grease the skids to secure a SSN for Obama since he lacked an American birth certificate.

On the other hand, Snopes.com, long an avid Obama defender, alleged the SSN was valid. Snopes termed the brouhaha “fantastical.” As “proof,” Snopes said Jean Paul Ludwig’s SSN was different and offered for verification a link to the Social Security Death Index which turned out to be useless and referred searchers to Ancestry.com.

Personally, I’m dubious as to all the birther allegations despite their potent arguments that Barack Hussein Obama was not born in the United States of America and thus ineligible to serve as president–and subject to prosecution as a liar and usurper.

Perhaps due to my septuagenarian naiveté, I find it difficult to accept that America’s mainstream media would not have reported those damning facts.

However, a composite, 11 minute video of the president’s statements . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=17584.)
