Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Obama’s “rich” ceiling getting lower and lower

The Obamaliar told us that everyone making under $250k gets a tax cut, and everyone over that gets a tax hike.  So that means $250k is “rich”.  But that’s OK, because you won’t get the tax increase unless you make over $200k.

Joe Biden agrees.  Anyone making over $150k is rich and subject to a tax hit.

Bill Richardson thinks that’s a great idea: hit those evil “rich” folks making over $120k.

See a pattern?  And with even the Uhhh-bama shills at CBS noting that there’s no way to pay for The One’s $1 trillion in new spending, even with a tax hike on those making over $250k, this lowering of the “rich” ceiling would certainly explain how they plan on covering the shortfall: they’re going to raise middle class taxes, too.

Obama: Opposing socialism is “selfish”

Obama to skeptical reporters on O Force One: get off

The One of Supremely Thin Skin decided to kick reporters off of his plane if they worked for newspapers that endorsed McCain.  Par for the course for his heavy-handed, Big Brother, intolerant campaign.

Just to summarize things:  When McCain kicks off a columnist of the NY Treason Times, a paper that wrote a fact-free innuendo-heavy sourceless hit piece on him, he was decried by the left for being against “freedom of the press” (as in, freedom to write baseless stories on Page A-1).  When the Obamessiah does it?  Eh, no big whoop.

Change you can believe in, ladies and germs.

LAT and the suppressed video tape saga continues

LGF has the story about the big protest that occurred outside of the LA Times‘ place yesterday, along with a link to the video and pictures from the protest.  As LGF notes, the latest excuse, and one that the LAT seems to be settling on right now, is that the “source could get put in jeopardy”.  But a detailed transcript of the tape’s contents wouldn’t reveal a single think about the source, yet oddly enough, that transcript has never been produced.  Funny, that.

Ace sums this up better than anyone else:

Story 1: We’ve adequately covered the tape. We don’t need to cover it any further.

Story 2: The source gave it to us only upon the condition we not release it, which we kinda-sorta forgot to say last time.

Story 3: If we released the tape the source could be in actual jeopardy, which we forgot to mention the last two times.

Tomorrow’s story: Releasing the tape would Cross the Streams.

Nope…no liberal media bias!

Effigies, nooses, and double standards

Many of you may have seen this from Hollywood last week:

An effigy of US Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin hanging by a noose as part of a Halloween display has drawn severe criticism, but local officials said the homeowner was covered by free speech rights.
…
“We have been getting some phone calls complaining about it but if (the homeowner) isn’t in violation of municipal code we have no reason to cite them,” West Hollywood spokeswoman Helen Goss said.”

“People have First Amendment rights (to free speech),” Goss said. “I would speculate that if it’s part of a Halloween display then its political satire.”

And then yesterday:

Two men have been arrested in connection with an effigy of Sen. Barack Obama that was hung outside a building at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, police said Thursday.

Authorities found a life-size effigy of the Democratic presidential candidate hanging from a tree outside the school’s Mines and Minerals building on Wednesday morning, police said.
…
“This was a serious incident. It caused a lot of wounds to be opened from racial tension,” Monroe said. …

Personally, I think both sides here ought to be ashamed of themselves.  But just to make sure I’m understanding this correctly:

Hanging an effigy of Sarah Palin from a noose?  Why, that’s just chortle-provoking, side-splitting, satirical hilarity right there, all in good fun.  And legal, too. First Amendment rights and whatnot.

Hanging an effigy of The One?  Latent KKK tendencies coming to the surface in these little Hitler clones!  And illegal, too. First Amendment rights? Never heard of them.

The moral of the story?  The next time you feel like swinging an effigy from a noose to make a political point, pick a white female doll to hang.  Bonus points if the doll represents a Republican.

Exit question: When did the “free speech rights” of the first group stop existing for the second group?

1992 deja vu?

Found at Ace:

Ahhhh, 1992.

The LA riots, a VP candidate misspells potato, Nirvana is top of the charts, Sinead O’Connor rips up the Pope’s pic on SNL, Spike Lee gives Obama some of his favorite lines in Malcolm X, the economy slides into the clammy embrace of recession.

And a young presidential candidate puts a big bear hug around the electorate’s largest demographic by repeatedly promising a middle class tax cut.

Now there are campaign promises and there are Campaign Promises. This one is historic because not only was it quickly broken, but within months it was replaced by the Largest Tax Increase In American History. Quite a switch — did I mention that The Crying Game came out in 1992 as well?

Broken promises of middle class tax cuts? We’ll meet again.

Democrats haven’t done a tax cut since JFK almost a half-century ago.
