Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama “taking the gloves off”…again

From ABC News blog:

Like any number of Democratic candidates before him — Mike Dukakis, Al Gore, John Kerry — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, is once again declaring that he is going to take off the gloves and fight back against attacks from the Republican party.
…
But just so you know — this is by my count the 4th time Obama’s campaign has officially or unofficially made such a declaration that Obama will “take off the gloves” and fight back.

That’s a lot of pairs of gloves.

The Isotoner campaign, one might say. …

Because The One Who Transcends Old Politics wouldn’t possibly get personal, right?  Yeah, right:

If nothing else, this should be entertaining. How much lower and personal can one go than to accuse opponents of being racists? Obama’s already trotted that out four times this summer, the last time just a week ago.
…
Democrats have tried going “personal” against Palin already, with disastrous results.  Every kind of smear has been aimed at her, from being nothing more than a pregnant pants-suit to a slut to a bad mother, and so on.  Where has that taken the Obama campaign?  On an unprecedented slide in polling that they now have less than eight weeks to stop, let alone reverse.

Obama started this campaign on a promise of New Politics.  He betrayed that by breaking his pledge on public financing, and almost immediately afterwards began weeping about the racist Republicans and the John McCain campaign.  The farther Obama walks away from his New Politics pledge, the weaker he becomes.  Because without that, voters have no reason at all to vote for a man with no experience at all.

“Hope” and “change” and stuff…

Journalists’ favorite blogs? Moonbat blogs, of course

According to the latest issue of American Journalism Review magazine, here are the top five blogs in order of the number of journalists who read/prefer them:

1. The Huffington Post (moonbat)

2. Real Clear Politics  (bipartisan)

3. Talking Points Memo  (moonbat)

4. Daily Kos  (moonbat)

5. Townhall.com (conservative)

So next time you hear some MSM talking head regurgitating moonbatosphere talking points, you’ll know why.  But nope…no liberal media bias!

Obama’s pork hypocrisy

How dare I challenge The One’s claims that Gov. Palin is a porkmistress, while He is of unsoiled hands?  Well, this might explain how:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama tried to direct more than $3 million in taxpayer funds to a Chicago museum whose chairman is one of the Illinois senator’s largest campaign fundraisers…

The planetarium’s chairman, then and still, is Frank Clark, chief executive of ComEd, a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Energy. He has pledged to raise more than $200,000 for Mr. Obama’s run for the White House.

Moreover, the Adler Planetarium is represented by the lobbying firm National Group LLP, co-founded by William Oldaker, who helped launch Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s political action committee in 2005. Mr. Oldaker, a partner with the Delaware Democrat’s son in another Washington lobbying and law firm, is no longer involved with Mr. Biden’s PAC, Unite Our States…

Two years earlier, Mr. Obama sought $300,000 for the Adler in another unsuccessful earmark request.

I’m sure this was just a big ol’ coinkidink, right?  Right??

Besides, what a difference a year makes, huh?  Barry O decides to be a champion crusader against pork this year…a stark contrast of mere months ago.  Nicely done, Uhhhhhhhhhbama.

Night and Day, double dose

The NYT on “Gov. Palin and the Bridge to Nowhere” thingy:

She could explain, as well, why she was for the Bridge to Nowhere when it was first proposed and reversed field once it became a symbol of legislative abuse.

The NYT on “Obama and Biden voted for that ‘legislative abuse’” thingy:

                   

 

While we’re piling on the Old Gray Hag, let’s look at what she had to say in 1984 (when Geraldine Ferrarro was running for VP) about the need for some kind of Senatorial experience to be VP:

Yet to be shrill is no worse than to be righteous, like the people who insist that the women Vice Presidential candidates so far proposed lack the requisite standing and experience. Why, it is said, none of them is even a senator.

Where is it written that only senators are qualified to become President? Surely Ronald Reagan does not subscribe to that maxim. Or where is it written that mere representatives aren’t qualified, like Geraldine Ferraro of Queens?
…
Representative Morris Udall, who lost New Hampshire to Jimmy Carter by a hair in 1976, must surely disagree. So must a longtime Michigan Congressman named Gerald Ford. Where is it written that governors and mayors, like Dianne Feinstein of San Francisco, are too local, too provincial?…Why shouldn’t a little-known woman have the same opportunity to grow?

What sayeth the Hag today?

Voters have a right to hear Ms. Palin explain in detail her qualifications to be standby president with no national or foreign policy experience. More is required of any serious candidate for such a high office than one interview with questions put by one selected source. 

They’ve gone backwards in their rationale, and yet they call themselves “progressive”?  What a difference a party affiliation makes, huh?

Nope…no liberal media bias!
