His affiliation with a 1990s group called Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement has opened him to accusations that he associated with Communists. And in 2004 he allowed his name to be put on a letter requesting an investigation into whether the Bush administration allowed 9/11 to happen as a “pre-text to war.” Jones said Thursday he never believed in this so-called “Truther” movement, issued an apology for his past remarks, and said in a statement that his involvement with 9/11 conspiracy theories "does not reflect my views now or ever."
He also called Republicans a**holes, in case you're wondering...

Robert Gates Sums Up The AP's "Appaling" Photo Choice
Gates wrote to Thomas Curley, AP’s president and chief executive officer. “Out of respect for his family’s wishes, I ask you in the strongest of terms to reconsider your decision. I do not make this request lightly. In one of my first public statements as Secretary of Defense, I stated that the media should not be treated as the enemy, and made it a point to thank journalists for revealing problems that need to be fixed – as was the case with Walter Reed." “I cannot imagine the pain and suffering Lance Corporal Bernard’s death has caused his family. Why your organization would purposefully defy the family’s wishes knowing full well that it will lead to yet more anguish is beyond me. Your lack of compassion and common sense in choosing to put this image of their maimed and stricken child on the front page of multiple American newspapers is appalling. The issue here is not law, policy or constitutional right – but judgment and common decency.”

CNN Makes Big Deal Out Of Man LEGALLY Carrying A Weapon
A group of citizens protesting their right to bear arms outside of President Obama's rally, including one man openly caryring a legal assault weapon, made the front page of CNN this morning. Look at this headline:
Man carries assault rifle to Obama protest -- and it's legal
Like it is some sort of unfortunate. surprise. God forbid that carrying a weapon that everyone can see, unloaded, isn't a crime. Additionally, the men were never within close proximity of the President.
In both instances, the men carrying weapons were outside the venues where Obama was speaking.
The Secret Service understood the unimportance of the incident:
Asked whether the individuals carrying weapons jeopardized the safety of the president, Donovan said, "Of course not."
It is unfortunate that, rather than punish the people who commit crimes with guns and keep them out of the hands of felons and mentally disabled, we freak out anytime we see a citizen legally carrying one. The best point is made by the man in question:
"I come from another state where 'open carry' is legal, but no one does it, so the police don't really know about it and they harass people, arrest people falsely," the man, who wasn't identified, said in an interview aired by CNN affiliate KNVX. "I think that people need to get out and do it more so that they get kind of conditioned to it."

CNN Headline Makes Pro-Taliban Militant Seem Like Friend
CNN has a headline that reads: "Maverick pro-Taliban militant offers to help U.S. forces"
Of course, it doesn't mention the fine print:
An Afghan militant group is willing to "help" U.S. and coalition forces, if they prepare to leave Afghanistan, the group's leader said in a statement given to CNN on Monday.
Hekmatyar did not define what he meant by "help," but is typically understood to mean that the group would stop attacks against coalition forces, stop recruiting members and stop the intimidation of local citizens.
The whole article is written to make it sound as if we should accept his offer or be doomed to the fate of the Soviets in the 80s.

Liberal/Media Slanders Against Health Care Protestors Not Working
A new USA Today/Gallup poll reaffirms this blog's continued faith in the American public to see through the Pelosi/Obama/MSNBC attacks on health care protesters as unamerican.
"From what you know or have read, have these town hall meeting protests against the proposed bills made you more sympathetic to the protestors' views, do the protests not make any difference to you either way, or have the protests made you less sympathetic to the protestors' views?" Options rotated
More Sympathetic No Difference Less Sympathetic Unsure
% % % % 8/11/09
34 36 21 10
"From what you know and have read, do you think each of the following is a major factor, a minor factor, or not a factor in why the protests against health care bills are taking place at these town hall meetings? How about [see below]?"
Major Factor Minor Factor Not a Factor Unsure
% % % %
"Concern about the health care bills that average citizens had well before the meetings took place"
8/11/09
57 24 13 6
"Recent efforts by political activists to create organized opposition to the health care bills"
8/11/09
48 27 18 8
As you can see, of the people who are taking these protests into account, significantly more are growing MORE sympathetic rather than less to the protestors. In addition, people recognize that genuine anger plays a bigger role than political groups in getting these groups out, despite the media's best attempts to paint it otherwise.
There is room for improvement though, as this poll also reaffirm's Republican Punk's views on how these could be properly run:
"Generally speaking, do you consider each of the following actions at town hall meetings to be an example of democracy in action or an example of abuse of democracy? How about [see below]?" Options rotated
Democracy In Action Abuse of Democracy Unsure
% % %
"Individuals making angry attacks against a health care bill and what it might do"

8/11/09
44 47 9
"Shouting down supporters when they speak in favor of a health care bill"
8/11/09
33 59 8
Basically, being angry at the bill and the congressperson if they support it...yes! But be respectful. We kind of wish that was common sense, but what can you do. Let's let the poll numbers reaffirm it.

Sarah Palin - Concerning The Death Panels
Not going to defend what she said (it legitimizes the Left and Media's claims of ignorance by the right), she does a decent job defending herself on her facebook, at the very least, showing she does understand the legislation, even if she does give into the temptation to use shock tactics to express it.

Spector Struggles To Defend Support of McCain-Palin in '08
It's rare you'll find this blog thanking Chris Matthews, but this video is worth it. Watch as Mr. Matthews ties tool-of-the-year Arlen Spector (D/R/?-PA) in knots over his presidential vote in 2008.
Though, I would like to take umbrage with Chris making a big deal out of Sarah Palin, who was #2 on the ticket, and how Arlen voted for her over his "good friend Joe Biden." The fact is, unless you are completely torn, you don't vote for vice-president. Ever.

Washington Post To Obama's Rescue
This picture is the buzz of the blogosphere over the last few days. It sums up conservative and libertarian fears with the new, big goverment trend that started with Bush and has reached its epitome with Barack Obama.However, before anyone worries about this being effective, the Washington Post is here to "analyze" it and discredit it as racist and not as quality as the KWP-lite "hope" bull from the campaign.
The Joker's makeup in "Dark Knight" -- the latest film in a long franchise that dramatizes fear of the urban world -- emphasized the wounded nature of the villain, the sense that he was both a product and source of violence. Although Ledger was white, and the Joker is white, this equation of the wounded and the wounding mirrors basic racial typology in America. Urban blacks -- the thinking goes -- don't just live in dangerous neighborhoods, they carry that danger with them like a virus. Scientific studies, which demonstrate the social consequences of living in neighborhoods with high rates of crime, get processed and misinterpreted in the popular unconscious, underscoring the idea. Violence breeds violence.
It is an ugly idea, operating covertly in that gray area that is always supposed to be opened up to honest examination whenever America has one of its "we need to talk this through" episodes. But it lingers, unspoken but powerful, leaving all too many people with the sense that exposure to crime creates an ineluctable propensity to crime.
Superimpose that idea, through the Joker's makeup, onto Obama's face, and you have subtly coded, highly effective racial and political argument. Forget socialism, this poster is another attempt to accomplish an association between Obama and the unpredictable, seeming danger of urban life. It is another effort to establish what failed to jell in the debate about Obama's association with Chicago radical William Ayers and the controversy over the racially charged sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Or...and this is just an idea...it might be that we think Obama is a radical leftist. Just saying...

Democrats Are Just As Delusional As Republicans
It's interesting how numbers like this got no play, but the media really loves the Birther controversy...huh, wonder why?
But before liberals begin to smirk, here's a poll from 2007, in which 35 percent of Democrats said that President Bush knew in advance about the 9/11 attacks, and 26 percent were not sure.
So if 58 percent of Republicans are living in a delusional fantasy world because they are out of power, then 61 percent of Democrats were doing the same thing until just recently (perhaps they still are). It's a clean, apples-to-apples comparison with a clear lesson: People get a bit kooky when they're out of power, Democrats about 3 points kookier -- which is probably within the margin of error.

Hypocrisy
So, Republicans are teabaggers/swift boaters/disrupters/all around horrible people when we protest and show how pissed off we are.
Ok, media and liberals. So I guess all of these, which never got the kind of dismissive treatment the current protests are receiving, are absolutely different:

Somehow, what conservatives are doing right now seems pretty effing tame. The level of anger I feel right now towards the media...let's just say that it is good that this is a written blog.

Armadillo as Liberty
Tom Coburn is quickly becoming my favorite senator. Here is an excerpt from his floor speech on the stimulus:
"You know, in Oklahoma, I trap armadillos in my yard. They come in, they'll ruin a little yard, because they like grubworms. So all you gotta do is put a few marshmallows out, put a marshmallow or two in the trap cage, and you'll catch those suckers. We'll that's what Washington is doing to American liberty...
We steal your liberty. We steal your freedom. We steal your choice...
Now there's two things I do with those armadillos, one of two things. I either put 'em in the back of my pickup and take 'em 10 or 15 miles away from my property, or I shoot 'em. And that's exactly what's gonna happen to us. We're either going to be carried far away from what we know and trust and believe in to be right, or we're gonna be extinct as a nation."
Hat Tip: Glenn Thrush
P.S.
Bias in Mr. Thrush's writing has gotten really bad in recent weeks. If you remember, about a week ago Mr. Thrush thought Zell Miller was being racist by using Gorilla Glue to metaphorically glue President Obama to his chair. Well, he hasn't been afraid to let his bias slip in recent weeks, and this post was no different. He made a big deal out of the fact that Mr. Coburn shoots the Armadillos in his yard. Good. Frickin'. Lord.

Jonathan Martin and Josh Gerstein Lay Out Tough Question No One Will Ask
Great new article on The Politico that asks 10 tough questions that should be asked during the press conference tonight. You know, like the questions that were asked of President Bush for 8 years, and that should be asked in place of stuff like "How is you swimsuit fitting?" and "What is the hardest and easiest parts about moving into the White House?" (real questions).
I highly recommend reading the entire article here (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/25265.html), but here are the questions for your perusing.
1) Is it still realistic that both chambers of Congress will pass health care bills before their summer recess in August? And how worried are you that missing the deadline could endanger your hopes of getting a bill this year?
2) Who are you referring to when you cite, as you did in your radio address last week, those “special interests” in health care who “make the same old arguments, and use the same scare tactics?” And what’s the difference between honest objections to a massive overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, and what you consider obstructionism?
3) You have sought to focus attention on Sen. Jim DeMint’s comments alluding to the political benefit for the GOP in blocking healthcare reform, but it’s mostly Democratic members of Congress that your own political apparatus is targeting in TV ads now on the air. Why haven’t you been more successful in convincing members of your own party on this issue so far, and how does DeMint figure into your effort to lobby Democrats?
4) You said during the campaign that you would negotiate the health care bill on C-SPAN. But now you won't even release the names of health care executives who visit the White House for what are closed door discussions. How do you reconcile what you said during the campaign with your approach now?
5) On Monday you said that “folks on Wall Street don’t feel any remorse for taking all these risks; you don’t get a sense that there’s been a change of culture and behavior as a consequence of what has happened." What do you think Wall Street needs to do to show remorse and to change its culture? And isn’t the problem with the economy right now not some Wall Streeters getting bonuses, but the fact that recession is much tougher and deeper than even your administration projected?
6) Attorney General Eric Holder is considering appointing an independent prosecutor to investigate alleged abuses of detainees during the Bush era. When the White House was asked about this, officials repeated your mantra that the country should look forward, not back. What’s your view about when it’s appropriate for the White House to send signals to the Justice Department about what action it should take in regarding a criminal investigation?
7) In announcing the delay of up to six months in the report on detainee policy, White House officials said the issues were “hard” and “complicated” and that you wanted them to “get this right.” Weren’t they hard and complicated when you set the deadline earlier this year? What has changed? And are you still committed to closing Guantanamo Bay prison by January?
8) Your Secretary of State recently compared the North Korean regime attention-craving adolescents. Do you agree with that assessment, and either way, how do plan to proceed toward reining in North Korea’s missile program?
9) Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. was recently arrested by Cambridge police at his own home. Now the African-American scholar said he plans to use the experience to focus attention on racial profiling and the black experience in the criminal justice system. Do you think Gates was justified in accusing the police of being harassed for being “a black man in America?”
10) Do you still plan on joining a Washington-area church and attending services?

Glenn Thrush Read Race Where No Common Sense Person Would
This is disappointing. As a (obviously) huge fan of the Politico, the fact that Mr. Thrush would see any race here is sad.
Former Democrat and former Georgia Gov./Sen. Zell Miller hit the racial tripwire in blasting Barack Obama in a speech to a gathering of lawmakers on Thursday.
Speaking in Atlanta, Miller, a 76-year-old white Southerner with a penchant for the folksy put-down, was railing against the White House in general — and Obama's recent travels to Europe, the Middle East and Mexico in particular.
The AP:
Our globe-trotting president needs to stop and take a break and quit gallivanting around," Miller said, adding that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel needs to put "Gorilla Glue" on his chair to keep him in the Oval Office.
Two black leaders who know Miller well said they were not offended by the remark. The Rev. Joseph Lowery, a civil rights leader, noted the glue is a brand name. "I ignore it," he said. "I consider the source and go about my business."
Yeah, OK. But why not Elmer's, Krazy-Glue, rubber cement, Stick-um or a wad of old gum?
I will say, I did enjoy the Gorilla Glue response:
Peter Ragland, president of the Gorilla Glue Company responds:
"Zell Miller's recent comments have thrust our product and company into the limelight," he wrote in an email from Gorilla Glue Cnetral in Cincinatti. " While our products are known for being strong and tough we certainly would not advocate attempting to glue the Leader of the free world to his chair."

Majority of Republicans Don't Find Palin Qualified
This is obviously the biggest line of the new CBS news poll concerning Sarah Palin:
"Do you think Sarah Palin would have the ability to be an effective president?"
Yes No Unsure
% % %
ALL
22 65 13
Republicans
33 51 16
Democrats
6 86 8
Independents
30 55 15
Which justifies my lack of worry that she will win the nomination.
Source: http://www.pollingreport.com/p.htm
P.S.
Another interesting note in this poll is the fact that 51% of Americans believe that the media either treats Ms. Palin the same as everyone else or EASIER. So her claims of conservative martyrdom aren't really ringing true among the majority.
