National Organization For (Spiteful, Bitter, Liberal) Women (Finally) issues statement on Bill Maher's insult of Sarah Palin ‎

From Joe Newby at Spokane Conservative Examiner

After being called out by conservatives for refusing to speak to Fox News about Bill Maher's vulgar insult of Sarah Palin, Lisa Bennett, Communications Director for the National Organization for (Liberal) Women issued a statement that failed to condemn Maher, and instead attacked conservatives for daring to notice their silence on the issue.

Her statement starts by asking progressives to "please" not use vulgar slang the way Maher did:

Listen, supposedly progressive men (ok, and women, too): Cut the crap! Stop degrading women with whom you disagree and/or don't like by using female body terms or other gender-associated slurs. OK? Can you do that, please? If you think someone's an idiot or a danger to the country, feel free to say so, but try to keep their sex out of it. Sexist insults have an impact on all women.

A couple of observations. First of all, for someone who holds the title of Communications Director, Lisa Bennett is an appallingly bad writer. Secondly, where was NOW when Palin was receiving death threats? For that matter, where were they when it came time to defend Gennifer Flowers, Monica Lewinsky, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broaddrick, to name the recipients of just one democratic President's indiscretion. Perhaps they were too worn out from their attempts to prevent the confirmation of a Supreme Court nominee who made jokes about pubic hair to be bothered with the possibility of something so banal as a rapist in the White House.

Oh I almost forgot about Bill Maher. What can you say about someone who conjures up something stupid, attributes it to someone else, and then proceeds to make fun of that person's intelligence for what he is pretending that person said, and then uses a derogatory, sexist term to refer to that person? I would guess that puts him in the same league as Letterman, Behar, Garafalo, and all the other cheap shot artists.

I'll leave it to Christopher Hitchens to offer some more perspective on Maher and his audience.

Keith Olbermann To Bill O'Reilly: I'm 'Still Here' - Oh Wait, Maybe I'm Not

NBC has suspended Bathtub Boy indefinitely without pay for contributing the maximum amount to democrat candidates for the house and senate. Or maybe Comcast was sickened by listening to Matthews and Olbermann giggle like schoolgirls as they insulted Republican candidates.

"Honor Killing" Dad Secretly Taped Daughters

From Fox News

On New Year’s Day 2008, two Texas teenagers Amina and Sarah Said were shot dead, their bloodied bodies left in a taxi cab. The alleged shooter: their father Yaser Said.

In fact, Sarah appears to identify her Dad as the murderer in a 9-11 call – her dying words.

For more than two years the Fox News Reporting team has been following this story and the search for Yaser Said, who vanished the night of the murders.

Although perpetrated by Islamic fundamentalists on nearly every continent and for myriad absurd reasons, ironically, all "Honor Killings" seem to be comprised of two key elements: The part where they brutally murder innocent women or children, and then the part where they run away. Am I alone in thinking that it's a curious sense of "honor" these guys seem to possess?

Rachel Maddow Exposes Her Desperate Pro Abortion Agenda

Whether it's attacking John Boehner for his "nuking an ant" referece regarding Dodd's bailout bill masquerading as finance reform, or now Sharon Angle's lemonade from lemons analogy, Rachel Maddow illustrates exactly how desperate the left has become. Unable to discredit the message, they turn to attacking the metaphors their opponents use to get their message through to an electorate long conditioned by the mainstream media. Here's the full quote from Angle, which I give credit to Maddow for showing (even though she must not have read it), which you won't see on most left wing blogs.

ANGLE: I think that two wrongs don’t make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade. Well one girl in particular moved in with the adoptive parents of her child, and they both were adopted. Both of them grew up, one graduated from high school, the other had parents that loved her and she also graduated from high school. And I’ll tell you the little girl who was born from that very poor situation came to me when she was 13 and said ‘I know what you did thank you for saving my life.’ So it is meaningful to me to err on the side of life.

First of all, it's pathetic how the left keeps bringing up the rape and incest factor every time abortion is discussed. Only a fraction of one percent of rape and incest victims become pregnant. That means that for every abortion for rape or incest, there are 25,000 for convenience. It's like a football coach losing sleep over which play he'll have to call in case his fourth string left tackle ever has to play quarterback.

Most importantly, Angle counseled young girls to look for alternatives. Alternative is defined by Merriam-Webster as "offering or expressing a choice; different from the usual or conventional." Offering a choice. Hmm...choice...where have we heard that word before? Oh yea, pro-choice. Looking for alternatives, isn't that what being pro-choice is all about? Evidently not. Just as Bart Stupak almost single-handedly disproved the myth of the pro-life democrat (while at the same time proving himself a fool), Rachel Maddow proves once again what we've known for years; that pro-choice is pro-abortion. But it's easier to attack a metaphor when the political position you've defended so long for becomes exposed for the deception it truly is.

Debbie Halvorson - Will County Unemployment has Increased 24% on Your Watch

Unemployment in Will County has increased 24% since Debbie Halvorson was sworn in. She talks about bringing jobs back to Illinois and empowering small businesses, but her votes on Obamacare, cap and trade, the Dodd-Frank taxpayer funded bailout, and her support for card check, will do nothing but put even more Illinois families out of work.
