LAP DOG: The Palin Hunter June 7, 2009

After a few moments of reading, I do not see how anyone in their right mind could seriously consider the Huffington Post as a credible news source. Throughout the day I will browse the net and see some laughable story that is pro-Obama Kool Aid regurgitation which is the only way it comes with these guys. During last year’s election a criticism that I found completely unwarranted and quite nasty was the “Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK) is as dumb as rocks” narrative. “Huff Poop” as I affectionately call it, was one of the main internet newspapers combing through Sarah Palin’s life and interviews for zingers. At the core of this criticism was the charge that Sarah Palin could not speak well. This was meant to be juxtaposed with the ever so eloquent Barack Obama. Obama crushed all competition with his well paced words and perfect diction. Obama is such a great speaker that even Rush Limbaugh could not stop praising the guy. Ahem.

RUSH: Grab audio sound bite number 26 first, Mike. I didn’t know we’d get to this this early. I asked Cookie to put together a little montage here of all the stuttering around that Obama did in his press conference today and I want you to hear this because — and we didn’t repeat anything here. It goes 46 seconds, and we’re doing this because we hear constantly, “What a great orator and a great communicator! Ohhhh, this man is smooth!” Just listen. This is a great illustration here of what happened when you take the teleprompter and your prepared remarks away from the dude.

OBAMA: Uh, uh, are, uh, uh, uh, um. That’s — that’s a bunch — so — so let me tick these off. Deh… Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, uh. So the issue is not a perception that, uh… Weh, weh, let me put it this way. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, We’re — we’re trying to — you know, we’ve got a bipartisan group here and — and — and, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, uh, uh, uh.

Wow. Martin Luther King has nothing on Obama and his teleprompter and obviously neither does Sarah Palin. Our good friends at the Huffington Post are here once again to make sure that you do not forget that. And guess what? Now not only is Sarah Palin not a great speaker according to Geoffrey Dunn at Huff Poop, she is also guilty of plagiarizing:

Palin Lifts From Gingrich in Anchorage Speech
Huffington Post

June 6, 2009

Sarah Palin’s speech delivered in Anchorage on Wednesday — the one in which she declared “screw political correctness” and wondered why “we have to pussyfoot around our troublesome foes” — repeatedly lifted from an article written four years ago by Newt Gingrich and Craig Shirley without attribution.

While Palin twice mentioned Gingrich in the speech (she never acknowledged Shirley), she frequently mixed her own remarks about Reagan with passages that appear to be pulled directly from the Gingrich-Shirley article.

Now Dunn just said that Palin mentioned Newt Gingrich in the speech then he goes on to write this:

During her speech in Anchorage, Palin went through her standard introductions, including the “First Dude,” Todd Palin. You can now view it at HuffPo. This first excerpt appears to echo the Gingrich/Shirley article but doesn’t lift from it directly.

Palin: First, I think what we’re going to learn tonight via Michael is that Ronald Reagan’s ideas were the right ideas and all we have to do is look back at his record, his economic record and his national security record to know that his ideas were right.

Gingrich/Shirley: What should Americans learn from this remarkable man and his remarkable Presidency?…The “right” ideas really matter (the left was wrong and Reagan was right about virtually every major public policy issue and the historic record is clear for those willing to look at it).

After that, Palin acknowledged that, “Recently, Newt Gingrich, he had written a good article about Reagan….” (Recently? It was four years ago.) Without mentioning Shirley, she quotes and paraphrases from the article at length:

So Sarah Palin “acknowledged” that Newt Gingrich wrote the article? Then it is not plagiarism. Had she not mentioned Newt at all it would have been plagiarism. While she is guilty of not mentioning the co-author, what the governor did is not out and out plagiarism. Dunn continues by spending the rest of the article parsing Palin’s speech and comparing it to the “Gingrich/Shirley” work. Yawn. More Palinius Haterus moonbattery.

If Sarah Palin is indeed guilty of plagiarizing, isn’t it possible that she “lifted” the bad habit from Vice President Joe Biden? You know, the guy with ‘foot in mouth” disease.

Biden is not the only member of the plagiarism club, his hamburger helper Obama is also an initiate:

Let us Prey: Painless Ways To Commit Politicide

Viewing the Sunday commentary shows, I see that it is again another day of “Let Us Prey”

The beauty of being a Republican these days is that everyone is interested your mind. Changing it that is. Upon learning that I am a Republican, the first thing I am told by someone after an initial moment of silence, is that my party is going down in a ball of flames, it is out of touch, primarily white, religious nut jobs and basically extinct. Here is a person telling me that the Republican party is in total disarray, they are all white and religious nut jobs — and I am an African American woman, not a religious nut job (I haven’t been to church since 2007). Essentially, I am being told that I do not exist and soon the party I belong to will not exist. These are transparently pathetic talking points from the left. This “knowledge” can be revealed by the mainstream media headlines. You are Republicans, you are finished and we will attempt to convince you of that until we are blue in the face.

A Group of Vultures Waiting for the Storm to "Blow Over"--"Let Us Prey." by Thomas Nast Wood engraving published in Harper's Weekly newspaper, September 23, 1871

What I am describing is the run over the target, put the car in reverse and do it again and again and again meme. Make sure the Republican party is good n’ dead. Step on the bug with your cleats on so those suckers are so emotionally downtrodden that they will never have any hope of returning. While we’re at it brainwash the young ones into believing that the Republican party is becoming extinct. No need to consider any party besides the Democrats. The Democrats represent the Utopian big tent and underneath are women, and blacks, the disabled and gays. Never mind that our president made demeaning cracks toward women and “Special Olympiads” . That race baiting is just a figment of your imagination. Here drink some more Kool Aid, you look thirsty for bullshit. The Democrats cultivate and nurture very possible flavor under the rainbow. There will be gumdrops and universal health care, no war, and we all will get along just fine. America has been bad and we all must repent by telling foreigners that we are sorry for the sins of our founding fathers. We are the absolute picture of bipartisanship (this is being said with clenched teeth as the donkey has his hoof on the elephant’s face).

Here the mask of the Democrats- the real face comes off. Behind the fast and furious protests of equality for all, are the seeds of politicide. Yes Politicide. The Republican Party has been chloroformed and thrown in the back trunk. Bipartisanship means silencing the silent majority- or the silent minority.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary:

politicide, n.
1. The killing or extermination of a particular group because of its political or ideological beliefs; an instance of this.

In other words, the Democrats are not fooling anyone.

I feel compelled to warn you jackasses that employing  such devious strategies are not without consequences.

Remember Jimmy Carter?  I do. I remember my mother thinking that he was the best thing since PAMPERS.

I remember the news about Republicans being dead.  In  1976 it was assumed that Watergate and the defeat of Gerald Ford meant 8 years of Democratic Donkey Kong rule. Then something happened.

I have always predicted that Obama’s presidency would be much like that of Jimmy Carter’s.That election of 1980 left my mother and many other Democrats sitting in front of the TV devastated.   Of course the Democrats don’t see it this way. Obama’s rise to power has made them considerably emboldened. The jackasses  so preoccupied with convincing the Republicans to die quietly that they may fail to realize that Obama and the crises he faces offer the exact political atmosphere that ousted Jimmy Carter in 4 years.  Recently, American Thinker described such a scenario:

The Second Coming of Jimmy Carter

By Alan Aronoff

Remember the good old days of the Jimmy Carter presidency when the US saw the combination of high inflation and high unemployment? We are sowing the seeds for a return to those days of national malaise.

The US economy is suffering from the economic trifecta of:

• 1. the destruction of credit that was caused by a dysfunctional banking system with inadequate regulatory oversight, and was cheered on by Congress encouraging banks to make non-viable loans;

• 2. the bursting of the housing bubble that has funded increased consumer spending this century;

• 3. the destruction of asset values including $6 trillion of lost US real estate values and $5,02T lost by the Standard and Poor’s 500 in 2008. To put this in perspective, the US GDP annualized based on Q1 2009 is $14.089T, so the loss in wealth due to declines in real estate and share price of the S&P 500 is 78% of GDP.

The Obama administration has taken and is planning to take several actions that will affect the US economic and financial base

Democrats should take note that the Obama administration is characterized by the same inability to see the inevitable. Being unable to escape the category of weak and inexperienced will become the predicament of this administration especially in the face of continuing economic instability and its sociological implications. Obamabutts are everywhere still dizzy from the win, still ga ga over their rock star celebrity president. It might be instructive for them to take a look at the Cater Presidency and forget about circling the Republicans like vultures. If it is dead and you have picked the carcass dry, why hang around sucking on bones of defeat when you could be doing something more constructive? You naively think that the Republicans will go away quietly simply due to your media driven elegies. I am not worried. We are not called the silent majority for nothing.
