Andrew Breitbart Blasts Rachel Maddow At CPAC

Andrew Breitbart, the activist filmmaker behind the so-called ACORN pimp videos is attending CPAC, and he has some harsh words for one of his biggest critics, Rachel Maddow.

Upon learning that Maddow had made a surprise appearance at the Conservative political Action Conference, Breitbart, in an interview with POLITICO, took the opportunity to strike back at Maddow and her fellow unabashedly liberal journalists at MSNBC.

He took Maddow to task for a number of things, including her treatment of the Tea Party movement, Sarah Palin, and notably, James O’Keefe, who, along with Hannah Giles, secretly taped ACORN staffers on how to set up a child prostitution ring.

People Who Live In Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Teleprompters

During his daily briefing with reporters on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs held up his hand, showing the press pool that he had written the words “Hope” and “Change” on his palm.

A blatant mockery of Sarah Palin, who had notes written on her hand for a speech she gave last week at the first convention of the Tea Party Nation.

Isn’t Gibbs a little old for this sort of childish nonsense?

Especially considering his boss is so articulate speaking without notes, as he shows here when his telepromter shorted out:

Sarah Palin Hints At A Third-Party Candidacy

It seems that Sarah Barracuda has her sights set on the White House.
A favorite of many conservative Republicans, she now has the enthusiastic support of the Tea Party Nation.
Shortly after a speech at the first national Tea Party Convention, Palin asked “How’s that Hopey Changey stuff working out for ya’?”
The support of the Tea Party could lead Palin to consider a third-party candidacy as Ross Perot did in ‘92 and ‘96.

Sarah Palin, the former US presidential running-mate, on Sunday hinted strongly she was preparing a 2012 presidential bid and suggested that Barack Obama needed to take radical steps, such as going to war with Iran, to boost his chance of winning a re-election.

Ms Palin’s comments to Fox News Sunday followed a provocative speech on Saturday to the Tea Party Convention in Nashville.

Amid chants of “Run, Sarah, run”, Ms Palin told the Nashville audience: “America is ready for another revolution and you are part of this.”

The former governor of Alaska also mocked the president as a “charismatic guy with a tele-prompter” and accused him of being a “professor of law at a lecture” rather than the US commander-in-chief.

However, it was Ms Palin’s comments about Mr Obama on Sunday that are likely to cause most controversy. “Things would dramatically change if he [Mr Obama] decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and our allies,” she told Fox.

“Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do.”

Pressed on whether she would run in 2012, she said: “I would if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family.”

However, Ms Palin, who took a fee of $100,000 (€71,400, £62,500) for the speech, which she said she would donate to the “cause”, has also hinted that her association with the Tea Party movement, a large chunk of which boycotted the Nashville convention because it charged $549 a ticket, could open the way to a third-party candidacy along the lines of Ross Perot’s 1992 and 1996 presidential bids. “You’ve got both party machines running scared,” she said.

Sarah Barracuda Steps Into The Ring To Take On Dingy Harry

I wonder what “Dingy Harry” has planned for 2011?
Because if the Senate Majority Leader wasn’t already facing an uphill battle, as are most Democrats, for re-election in 2010, now he has the Tea Party Nation and Sarah Palin coming after him.
And she is called Sarah Barracuda for a reason.

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will headline a “tea party” rally next month in Searchlight, Nev., the home town of embattled Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), tea party movement organizers said.

Palin, who is delivering the keynote address at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend in Nashville, is stepping up her campaign activities for conservative activist groups this spring. The March 27 Nevada event will kick off the Tea Party Express’s 42-city bus tour, which will end April 15 with what organizers are billing as a major march on Washington. In addition to the Searchlight rally, Palin will headline a tour stop in Boston on April 14, said Mark Williams, chairman of Tea Party Express.

Reid responded to Palin in a statement to The Post: “Make sure you stop by the Nugget for a ten-cent cup of coffee with free refills — and make sure to say ‘Hi’ to Verlie.”

Sarah Palin Speaks Her Mind

On her Facebook account, Sarah Barracuda is calling on President Obama to fire his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

The newly-released mind-boggling, record-smashing $3,400,000,000,000 federal budget invites plenty of opportunity to debate the merits of incurring more and more debt that will drown the next generation of Americans. Never has it been possible to spend your way out of debt. So… let the debate begin.

Included in the debate process will be opportunities for our president to deliberate internally the wisdom of this debt explosion, along with other economic, military and social issues facing our country. Our president will discuss these important issues with Democrat leaders and those within his inner circle. I would ask the president to show decency in this process by eliminating one member of that inner circle, Mr. Rahm Emanuel, and not allow Rahm’s continued indecent tactics to cloud efforts. Yes, Rahm is known for his caustic, crude references about those with whom he disagrees, but his recent tirade against participants in a strategy session was such a strong slap in many American faces that our president is doing himself a disservice by seeming to condone Rahm’s recent sick and offensive tactic.

Sarah Palin’s Analysis Of The State Of The Union Speech

Today we turn to Sarah Palin’s Facebook page to read her thoughts on President Obama’s State Of The Union Address.

While I don’t wish to speak too harshly about President Obama’s state of the union address, we live in challenging times that call for candor. I call them as I see them, and I hope my frank assessment will be taken as an honest effort to move this conversation forward.

Last night, the president spoke of the “credibility gap” between the public’s expectations of their leaders and what those leaders actually deliver. “Credibility gap” is a good way to describe the chasm between rhetoric and reality in the president’s address. The contradictions seemed endless.

He called for Democrats and Republicans to “work through our differences,” but last year he dismissed any notion of bipartisanship when he smugly told Republicans, “I won.”

He talked like a Washington “outsider,” but he runs Washington! He’s had everything any president could ask for – an overwhelming majority in Congress and a fawning press corps that feels tingles every time he speaks. There was nothing preventing him from pursuing “common sense” solutions all along. He didn’t pursue them because they weren’t his priorities, and he spent his speech blaming Republicans for the problems caused by his own policies.

He dared us to “let him know” if we have a better health care plan, but he refused to allow Republicans in on the negotiations or consider any ideas for real free market and patient-centered reforms. We’ve been “letting him know” our ideas for months from the town halls to the tea parties, but he isn’t interested in listening. Instead he keeps making the nonsensical claim that his massive trillion-dollar health care bill won’t increase the deficit.

Americans are suffering from job losses and lower wages, yet the president practically demanded applause when he mentioned tax cuts, as if allowing people to keep more of their own hard-earned money is an act of noblesse oblige. He claims that he cut taxes, but I must have missed that. I see his policies as paving the way for massive tax increases and inflation, which is the “hidden tax” that most hurts the poor and the elderly living on fixed incomes.

Democrats, Double Talk And Double Standards

For the longest time, liberals in Congress and the mainstream media have been accusing members of the Tea Party movement as being racists.

Now anyone with an IQ number higher than that of the average houseplant knows that such a claim is ludicrous.

Yet Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid makes one of the most racist remarks ever uttered by a public official, and no one in his party or the media seems inclined to hold him to account.

Of course, this sort of hypocrisy comes as no surprise.

In the 2008 Presidential primaries, Joe Biden had this to say about then-Senator Obama:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” ”I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

The first African-American who is articulate and bright and clean…..?

Not only does the African-American community let Biden slide, Obama picks this nitwit to be his Vice-President!

Yet if a conservative such as Sarah Palin had made a similar remark, the news media would still be talking about how she was forced to drop out of the race.

I’ve got a news flash for Nancy Peloisi, Janine Garofolo and the members of the MSM.

If you want to overcome racism, maybe you should start with your fellow Democrats.

Sarah Palin’s Response To The President’s Health Care Speech

(Liberals by and large breathed a sigh of relief when Sarah Palin stepped down from her position as Governor.
They had the mistaken notion that her voice would be silenced.
Palin, however, stated at the time that she could be a much more effective voice for conservatism by working outside of the system.
And as her response to the President’s pep rally last night proves, she is a voice to be reckoned with.)

After all the rhetoric is put aside, one principle ran through President Obama’s speech tonight: that increased government involvement in health care can solve its problems.

Many Americans fundamentally disagree with this idea. We know from long experience that the creation of a massive new bureaucracy will not provide us with “more stability and security,” but just the opposite. It’s hard to believe the President when he says that this time he and his team of bureaucrats have finally figured out how to do things right if only we’ll take them at their word.

Our objections to the Democrats’ health care proposals are not mere “bickering” or “games.” They are not an attempt to “score short term political points.” And it’s hard to listen to the President lecture us not to use “scare tactics” when in the next breath he says that “more will die” if his proposals do not pass.

In his speech the President directly responded to concerns I’ve raised about unelected bureaucrats being given power to make decisions affecting life …Read the rest of this entry

My Nomination For Media Pinhead Of The Year…And No, It’s Not Letterman

On second thought, maybe David “Zippy The Pinhead” Letterman wins by default.

Therefore, I wish to present my nomination for media hypocrite of the year, CBS News/60 Minutes personality Morley Safer.

In a short story in a recent edition of the New York Post outlining an interview done with Safer at a Canadian awards dinner, he was quoted as having said that one of his all-time favorite interview subjects was Dolly Parton.

Later, when he was asked about his opinion regarding bloggers and new media, he was not nearly as gracious.

His comment was “I would trust a citizen journalist as much as I would trust a citizen surgeon.

The obvious implication being that those of us in the blogging community are not as trustworthy or accurate as members of his profession.

If given the chance to interview Mr. Safer, I would pose the following questions:

“Mr. Safer, you seem to feel that bloggers are not as accurate in their reporting as yourself and your fellow correspondents on 60 Minutes. Allow me to ask sir, is this the same 60 Minutes that:

Presented documents regarding George Bush’s service in the Texas Air National Guard that were proven to be such blatant forgeries that the report lead to the firing/resignation of Dan Rather?

The same “news” program that was exposed (by the Power Line blog, hmmm) as having fabricated stories about Karl Rove?

The “credible news outlet” that showed footage of military-grade machine guns being fired at bulletproof vests when doing a report on how “deadly” semi-automatic rifles are?

Finally, years ago, your program did a report regarding how a certain brand of German automobile would unexpectedly shift itself into gear and begin to accelerate. Later it was discovered that despite repeated attempts, these cars did not do what your show claimed, so your program had the cars transmissions tampered with so the footage would show them doing so. can you explain that one sir?

And you have the audacity that those of us in the blogging community are not to be trusted?

Well, Mr. Safer, if your statement was meant to leave a lasting impression, it certainly worked in my case.

From now on, whenever I hear the word “boobs’, I will think of two things.

Dolly Parton.

And you.
