LIVEBLOGGING UPDATE AT BOTTOM:

Well, it’s that time of year again.  The time when Tavis Smiley shaves his goatee, takes a few painkillers and launches into a 40 minute soliloquy about how great he is for organizing his separatist house party against Amerikkka (being broadcast live on C-Span).  Tavist, though an ardent Hillary supporter, is now blowing the whistle on the Obama choo-choo.

On his undistinguished panel there are college activists, Al Sharpton, Cornell West, noted cannibal Randall Robinson, Julianne “I Hope Clarence Thomas Dies” Malveaux and a cast of thousands  of other “We changed our Christian names to Islamic ones” sitting in white leather barcaloungers with Barack Obama’s face embroidered to the back of the chair. Last and most certainly least – Michael Steele.

Seriously, having Steele on the  panel is like someone cloning Deb Frisch and holding a Protein Wisdom convention where they only invited her to attend.

Currently, Michael Steele is bragging about how blacks do not believe in a “monolithic” fashion in this country (though you couldn’t tell by this event) and also claiming that the NY Post cartoon was an “abomination”.  RNC – this is your new head.

I’ll update as offensive commentary comes up much like I did last year.  Honestly, this is a full-time job and some people should have foregone CPAC to attend this.

That didn’t take long for Julianne Malveaux to lecture Steele about how he needs to get “his boys“ in order.  Last I recall, calling someone a “boy” was racist.  Also that he needs to tell his “boys” to vote for the stimulus so that Obama can underwrite interest free educations for Historically Black College students.  Tavis dutifully doesn’t let Steele respond and moves on to the next question after he’s assailed by this former pseudo-journalist.

Al Sharpton claims that white people have had to ask a black man to bail them out of all the trouble they’ve caused. To cheering applause I might add.  Oh, and we are “on the deck of the Titanic and we are going down!”  No disagreement on that last point.

Sharpton then targets Steele by praising him for supporting his boycott of the NY Post’s racist monkey stimulus cartoon but that he must now pledge himself to allowing Obama to shut down Fox News.

I am not making this stuff up, you really should be watching it on C-Span (5:35 EST) as it’s now archived.  It’s far more interesting than your CPAC “we’ve got to expand our base” BS.

30 Minutes in and the panel is still slaving away over a white, hot stove brimming with Bush-Hate.

Tavis implores the universally black audience that they are going to have to love Obama even though he is going to do things to piss them off.  Like when he didn’t say that he supported Roland Burris taking his Senate seat.  You don’t need to understand why – you just need to support him anyway.

As this is very early in the conference, let me make a prediction that happens every year at this event but cannot be underscored enough in judging the character of a man.  At some point, someone is going to say something so completely beyond the pale, racist and un-American that Steele should get up out of his seat and walk out.  Lady and gentlemen, let me be the first to wager that Steele getting offended enough to walk out of this event will never happen.  He will sit there and clap and applaud right along with them with nary a word of criticism.

Tavist unironically asks Cornell West about Eric Holders’ comments about America being cowards when it comes to talking about race from the podium of a race-based conference that has no one of any other race in attendance on their panel.

Look up “irony” Tavist.  It’s not that cleaning service run by the Koreans down the street. (more…)

It’s national tea party day, and like T-Man, I have to work so that I can pay taxes to provide more handouts for the Obamabots.

However, I have it on good authority that some Buffet regulars are heading down to Nashville for the Nashville Tea Party. Hopefully they will report back later in the day. If you’re in the middle Tennessee area, get down to Legislative Plaza around Noon to protest the Feds’ attempt to bankrupt the country and control our lives through confiscatory taxation and environmental restrictions on our daily lives. Or, if not, find one in your area.

T-Man’s contribution to Tea Party day is definitely worth a read. It’s “How to Explain Conservatism to Your Squishy Liberal Friends: Individualism ‘R’ Us” by P.J. O’Rourke. My Tea Party Contribution today is to steal T-Man’s Tea Party contribution. It’s blog redistribution. Read and share with your uneducated friends. They need someone besides Katie Couric and Oprah to explain Conservatism in clear and simple terms.

Freedom of speech is such a pain in the ass for dictators, authoritarians and community agitators.

There has been a lot of pain and heartache over Congress’ attempt to stop people from keeping monkeys as pets. If you can’t have them as pets, here’s the next best thing…

Who knew?

For seven years, MOVIEGUIDE® has been looking at the political content of the Top 250 English-language movies that open nationally each year in the United States. An examination of the domestic box office averages for movies promoting an unabashedly socialist or Communist viewpoint shows that such movies averaged only about $15.5 million and $7 million per movie from 2002 through 2008.

2008 boxoffice receipts prove this point.

… movies released in 2008 coming from a more liberal or leftist sensibility (including Steven Soderbergh’s movie honoring Che Guevara, “Mamma Mia!” and Bill Maher’s “Religulous”) averaged only $11.4 million at the box office, but that movies with more conservative content, including the new Indiana Jones movie where the villain is a spy from the Soviet Union, “Prince Caspian” and the Christian movie “Fireproof,” which attacked the porn industry, averaged $81.2 million.

The question remains, why can’t conservatives create an alternative to Hollywood?

Sure The Omega Code was a turd, but you can’t hold that against us forever.

The Jindal Response Update: Anyone who looks at Jindal’s response as a shot across the bow for his 2012 Presidential bid needs to get their head out of the sand.  Yea, you only like him so you can play the race card back at Democrats.  Admit it.

(walk on stage like there’s a stick up his ass but that he doesn’t mind it so much)

Opening line:  “What an amazing thing we watched!  A black guy.  Goshdarnit, that’s terrific!  Let’s all give ourselves a hand  *smattering of disjointed applause*

I am also like Barack Obama!

(insert standard boilerplate Republican pap about Washington not being the answer and trusting people to think for themselves)

“Republican voters, we took you for granted.  You voted for us and we turned you out like two dollars whores with no kiss.  But we will make it up to you.  Just give us another chance.  We’ve changed I tells ya!  We’ve changed!  We’ve got to stand for something again.”

Actions speak louder, bub.  The only thing Republicans stood for tonight were Standing Ovations for even greater increases in the federal government stealing freedom out of the wallets of its people again.

McMurphy Rating: Two Thumbs Down

The Fake SotU:

A.  I would say that Urkel is smoking crack were he not so clear in his preference for powdered cocaine.

B.  All the Republicans who are giving standing ovations for Socialism ought to be taken out back in kicked in the fucking head until their perceptions are properly aligned or until dead.  Whichever comes first and I don’t care which.

Any upstanding conservative would have boycotted this speech but no.  Mitch “The Bitch” McConnell’s superfluous chins are right down there clapping along (and offbeat I might add).

We need more money for education!  We need bonuses for performing teachers!

*ahem*  Are these the same teachers who have produced our stupid kids to begin in the Democrat run schools of major metropolitan areas?  Bonuses for failure teachers.  Bonuses for bad banks.  Bonuses for deadbeats.

And tax increases for small business owners who make more than $250,000 a year.   America – you voted for the Great Depression and you are about to get it.  Your carbon footprint will soon be replaced by your regular footprint as it stands in a breadline at the soup kitchen.

Oh, and I’m just dealing with the problem you people who keep standing up and clapping for me on the left side of the aisle created.  Yea, that shut you up didn’t it?

Really, this is the most boilerplate liberal pap.  The only thing worse than listening to it will be reading the inky ejaculations of tomorrow’s headlines.

Geert Wilders on Glenn Beck talking about what a bunch of pussies the U.K. has become.

At least in the U.S. we haven’t yet become a bunch of dhimmis. If President Hussein has his way, we’ll get there.

UPDATE:

More fun with Moohammed in the UK: British muzlim sprays fecal matter in four different businesses last may in Gloucestershire. Brits across the U.K. weep and ask themselves what they could have done to cause this man to do such a thing.

Religion of feces? Something like that.

From the NYT (via Newsbusters)

Just know we’re not talking about Chris Matthew’s leg tingles or Olbermann’s coverage of the primaries.

Take a guess at what makes the NYT cringe.

How many more 1972 Munichs can Abbas finance with Obama acting as Rooftop Credit Ape?  We shall soon see:

The United States plans to pledge more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after Israel’s invasion and strengthen the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, a U.S. official said on Monday.

The money will be channeled through U.N. and other bodies and will not be distributed via the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to make the announcement next week at a Gaza donors conference in Egypt.

It appears that first phone call after winning the election was to give a verbal confirmation that Abbas’ credit line for new Katyusha rockets had been approved.  Dare I say, any American Jew who voted for Obama is a traitor to their race.

Yea.  I dared it.

So not only will Americans get to directly finance terrorism against Israel, we will now be responsible for UN workers molesting children in Gaza after the blue helmet kleptocrats get their filthy paws on what’s left of our money.

Olmert abruptly announced last week that Israel would not reopen Gaza’s long-blockaded borders — the main Israeli concession sought by Hamas — unless Hamas-affiliated militants first freed Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who was seized in a June 2006 cross-border raid.

Long-time readers of this blog may remember that the new head editorial writer for the Nashville City Paper once claimed that Gilad Schalit’s kidnapping was faked by the Israelis to use as a pretext for attacking Palestinians at the coaxing of the Project For A New American Century.

Don’t claim you weren’t warned NCP.

Who knew that when the Obamessiah and his zombie followers chanted CHAAAAAANGE… CHAAAAAAAANGE that he meant that he’d take us back to DOW 3000?

Yeah, it’s not there yet, but this column at Investors Business Daily outlines exactly why we’re headed in a downward spiral that isn’t about to stop. President Hussein’s “stimulus” package has only made it worse – much worse.

As always read the whole thing. The chart speaks for itself. Granted, it all started with President Junior’s Stimulus I and Stimulus II bills, but having the most anti-free-market President in the history of the country has cemented the deal.

Scientists have discovered the secondhand fat is now the leading cause of divorce in the U.S.  And  by “scientists”, I mean a random observation that came to me after staring at the lower cholesterol remnants of Honey Nut Cheerios in front of me.

Powdered doughnut tip to Stop The ACLU for taking a greasy bite out of ABC’s incredibly shallow “reporting” on people being fat based on their proximity to fast food restaurants:

Now stop laughing. I think ABC is serious with this stuff.

ABC unleashed this “news” piece on February 19 with a headline that screams “Living Near Fast Food Ups Stroke Risk” and based it on yet another one of those groundbreaking “studies” that are always touted as “science.” This piece is filled with dire warnings and shocking conclusions… unless you actually read it, that is. Then you find it is really built on conjecture, maybes and assumptions instead of hard proof. So much for science.

All I know is that I get the vapors every time I get on an elevator and someone reeks of McDonald’s french fries.  Or when I go to a restaurant and am forced to smell cooking that is not solely boiled or baked.  I know I speak for all non-fat liberals when I say that all eateries should herd the fatties into their own areas of the restaurants before banning them from being allowed in altogether.  Or within 20 feet of a federal building.  Or inside of  hospitals.

There ought to be a law(tm)!  A Fat Czar.  If anyone ever knew how to cure obesity it’s the czars and Russians.  Then again, I don’t remember much MSM scienticians reporting on anorexia in relation to living near the Ukraine or Siberia.  Seems people got Pulitzers for not taking their shiny journalistic fork to break through the flaky crust of lies in Stalin’s Russia.

First they came for the alcohol but a lot of people got killed by organized crime that exists to this day and it was eventually overturned, then they came for the weed and that’s caused a massive, multi-billion dollar underground tax-free economy, then they came for the cigarettes, then they came for the ding dongs and there was no one left to speak out.

Nigel for the inspiration in the comments.

There is some serious mental illness and stupidity out among the population. The Obamessiah more popular than Jesus? Sure, we have fun calling President Hussein everything from Obamessiah to Urkel Christ to a variety of other names, but this poll demonstrates how detached from reality the idiots in the hopey changey crowd actually are.

I have to wonder where Harris interactive found this bucket of losers. Then again, there are 54+ million of them out there. Probably wasn’t too difficult.

I don’t know how I missed this.

First of all, when the Obamessiah says that this is “not the policy of the Obama administration” you can bet your ass he’s lying through his teeth. Second, how do you think they plan to do this?

It’s unbelieveable what these fuckers are trying to do. They are taking over as much of the private sector as they can. They’re taking over the U.S. Census so they can help ACORN with their Democrat voter fraud from the inside. Now they’re talking about tracking the miles you drive – and more importantly – TRACKING YOU with their GPS device. How much more of your freedom do you idiots want to give up for these thugs? It’s time the hope dopes woke up and smelled the latte.

Is the Connecticut Chimp a thinly veiled stand-in for our President who I hear is black?

Like the shark rising to the chum, the race huckers are seeing red. You know, like the blood of the former owner of Freddie’s Fashion mart.

At the risk of being cowardly and not engaging in racial dialogue, I’ll only say that if you have a lucrative grievance schtick, you’re likely to play it at every turn. Like they say, if all you have is a hammer, you’re likely to see every problem as a nail.

The shining part of this whole affair? Glad you asked. It’s the Post’s response.

That is about 200% politer than I might have put it. However, I’m glad someone is calling Sharpton out. May this be the beginning of something big.

Oleg Atbashian, the guy who runs The People’s Cube is not only funny, but is also one of the most insightful commentators on the “virtues” of socialism.

This really resonates with me.

From someone who knows. Here’s to hoping that his first-hand experiences can reach a few minds.

Continuing:

Oleg, half of us dimwits were already sold on the idea. We just needed the shiny package.

Personally, I cannot understand why Americans don’t wake up and thank God or Providence or whatever for being able to live free. The human condition has always been nasty short and brutish. We are truly fortunate to be living in a society that (mostly) leaves us alone to pursue prosperity and altruism on our own terms.

We are not alone.

UPDATE:

Karl at The Market Ticker is behind Rick Santelli’s Chicago Tea Party. I’ll drive up to Chicago for that one as well. Just say when, Rick.

While you’re at The Market Ticker, you should definitely read this post.

Read the whole thing or face certain doom.

Finally, the current political climate explained so that even Star Trek geeks (like me) can understand.

I would only add that the captain and crew of the U.S.S. Republican blew their mission by deviating from the Prime Directive.

In case you missed it, our new Attorney General Eric Holder (who makes Janet Reno look like a genius) pointed out yesterday that we’re a nation of cowards when it comes to race issues.

This is what happens in post-racial-socialist-Amerika. You thought the whole race-baiting thing was over, didn’t you? I didn’t.

So, whitey, here is your opportunity. Let’s prove Holder wrong (as if that would be a challenge). Tomorrow, at your office, or even on the street, it is your duty to find a black man or woman and first and foremost, apologize to them for all the wrongs of your white ancestors. This is what Holder means by a “nation of cowards” – we’re supposed to be as obsessed with race as he and his boss are.

So, first, apologize for what your ancestors did, then maybe hand them a 5 or 10 dollar bill. This will help smooth over the racial tension that you didn’t even know existed between you and this person.

This will help us move forward as a country. Or not.

Maybe it’s a bit premature to finish the great wall of accomplishments on the Burris mausoleum.

The again, of all the things to come out of Chicago, audacity is truly the greatest. I expect that he will tough his way through this one as well.

Very early, according to Woman of Abomination.

Don’t forget hope, WoA.

RTWT.

A Chicago insider calls into Savage with the reason “community groups” will be getting billions from the so-called stimulus package. It’s a combination of payback and future funding for ACORN, who will be critical for Rahm & President Hussein to keep their Socialist majority in congress and keep the Thug Thizzle in the White House. We now have a level of corruption in Washington that has never been seen before. Nixon was a freaking choir boy next to these thugs.

Reagan = Free Markets, Self-Reliance, Individual Freedom
Obamessiah = Government-Controlled Markets, Complete Dependence, Collectivism

It’s that simple.

Thanks, TB

This one goes out to all those who came of age in the last eight years.

It’s should be a bit of a wake up call to all the kiddies who grew up being taught that if it wasn’t for George W. Bush, we’d all be singing Coke commericals together. Your takeaway? 1) Parts of the World will always hate you no matter who you elect. 2) It shouldn’t matter what other people think about you.
