Mike Huckabee, Steve Beshear and Liberal Hypocrisy

In case you read your liberal press of late, former GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was speaking Friday to the NRA, when there was a loud bang. Instead of continuing his speech, Huckabee aimed a very stupid joke at Barack Obama:

While Huckabee was speaking there was a noise offstage which he quickly quipped was Barack Obama falling off a chair. The audience chuckled and Huckabee, he of the allegedly quick wit, decided to go for what he thought might be a bigger laugh. Wrong. Huckabee added this, "Somebody aimed a gun at him and he dove for the floor."

Huckabee later apologized for his "offhand remark," saying it was not "intended to offend or disparage Senator Obama." Obama, for his part, refused to comment. Yet, his liberal minions are still up in arms over Huckabee's gall. But what's funnier than joking about killing a U.S. Senator? How about when a Democrat governor from Kentucky makes a "joke" about President Bush getting assassinated just days before?

Gov. Steve Beshear, who has remained neutral during the presidential primary and who will serve as a Kentucky superdelegate at the national convention in August, avoided talking about the Democratic candidates by criticizing President Bush.

"When I mention that Democrats are problem solvers, I can think of only one Republican who can be a problem solver -- that is Vice President Dick Cheney if he would just take George on a hunting trip," Beshear said. Cheney accidentally shot fellow quail hunter Harry Whittington in Texas in 2006.

Of course, if a tree falls in the woods and no one hears it, it didn't fall, right? And that, my friends, pretty much sums up your liberal press.

Bill O'Reilly Quote of the Day!

"The reason Hillary Clinton is running behind Barack Obama is that he is perceived to be more liberal than she is, and the committed left dominates the Democratic primaries. Among other things, Sen. Clinton's Iraq war resume has rankled the far left who, early on, enthusiastically threw in with Obama.

In addition, because much of the media has moved dramatically to the left and, above all, is ardently politically correct, Sen. Obama's candidacy was greeted with great joy by many press people. They love him simply for being him. Is it a sexism deal? No. It's an Obama-mania deal with the press."

James Woodward: Another Reason Why The Death Penalty Is Wrong

27 years in prison for a crime he did not commit:

Woodard was convicted of raping and murdering his girlfriend in 1981 and sentenced to life in prison. He was released on April 29, the 17th Dallas County inmate to be exonerated by DNA testing.

In one aspect at least, Woodard and the 16 others are lucky; the evidence that freed them was preserved even after their appeals were exhausted and the courts finalized their convictions. If they had been tried in a county or city that has no preservation laws, the DNA to clear them would have been destroyed long ago.

But more and more counties and states are passing laws for evidence preservation, according to the Innocence Project, practicing what Dallas County has long been doing.

If it were up to the revenge obsessed death enthusiasts another innocent man would've killed thanks to state-sanctioned murder. But James Woodward is yet another reason why the death penalty needs to be abolished for good.

Check out the Innocence Project, they're doing great things.

California Supreme Court Uses Race To Overturn Gay Marriage Ban

Piggybacking a decision made back in the 40's to end discrimination against interracial marriage, yesterday the CA Supreme Court reversed the will of the people and overturned a ban against gay marriage in the state. Because yunno, being gay is the same as being black.

Slate:

It is helpful for the California opinion that it closely resembles a United States Supreme Court decision that has stood the test of time: Loving v. Virginia. In that 1967 ruling, the Court struck down all remaining state bans on interracial marriage under the federal constitution. Like Thursday's decision in California, Loving made the same dual move of invalidating legislation, based on strict scrutiny, on grounds of both liberty and equality. This move is unusual—indeed, I know of no case other than Loving and Thursday's case that have made it.

So now that marriage has been declared a "right" by another liberal court, what say the Mormons and other polygamists, folks involved in "loving" incestuous or man/boy relationships, heck any pet owner who in love with their dog? The sanctity of marriage has taken yet another step backwards, so step up to the plate and make your voices heard already!

John Edwards Endorsement Puts Barack Closer To The Nomination

I could care less about what John Edwards thinks, just thought I'd mention this to give credit to Barack's campaign for not only putting Hillary's insignificant win in West Virginia Tuesday out of the spotlight, but actually making Edwards endorsement mean something:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama collected the support of four of John Edwards' Democratic National Convention delegates on Thursday, then gained the backing of a West Coast congressman and a large labor union as he marched steadily toward the party's presidential nomination.

The fresh support brought Obama's overall delegate total to 1,892, compared to 1,718 for his rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton. It takes 2,026 to clinch the nomination at the party convention in Denver this summer.

Edwards, who bestowed his long-sought endorsement on Obama on Wednesday, won 19 delegates before departing the presidential race in January.

Within hours, Obama picked up the backing of three of them from South Carolina and one in New Hampshire.

In addition, Rep. James McDermott, a superdelegate, endorsed Obama. "I believe now is the time to unite behind Barack Obama so we can be in the strongest place possible to win in November," he said.

Conservative Democrat Travis Childers Takes Key Mississippi Race

Travis Childers is my kind of guy: pro-life, against reckless spending, serious about tackling illegal immigration and anti-gay marriage. Yes folks, conservative Democrats are alive, well and can make a difference in this country:

JACKSON, MISS. -- Mississippi Democrat Travis W. Childers won a special election to Congress on Tuesday, helping his party to a third victory this year for seats that had long been in Republican hands.

The victory puts Childers into the House seat vacated by Roger Wicker, a Republican appointed to the U.S. Senate when Trent Lott resigned. The win also gives the Democrats a 236-199 majority in the House -- if only for a few months, until November's general elections.

With 99% of the precincts reporting, Childers had 54% to Republican Greg Davis' 46%. Earlier this year, Democrats captured the Illinois district long represented by former Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, who resigned.

And earlier this month, Democrats claimed a Louisiana seat that Republican Rep. Richard H. Baker had relinquished.

Hillary Wins Hillbilly Country!

Here's what's most interesting to me about the Billary shills getting all excited about Hillary's slaughter of Barack in West Virginia yesterday. When Slick Willie made the statement back in February (after Barack beat Hillary in the South Carolina primary) that "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice" back in 1984 (basically saying that Obama only won because of his race), the Billary shills couldn't take the heat created by the former President's racially divisive comments. So in following Bill Clinton's logic wouldn't it be fair to say that Hillary won West Virginia (a state in which 95% of the Democratic primamry voters are white) solely because of her race too?

I'm just saying.

Kim Kardashian: Dumber Than A Ton Of Bricks

Making a joke to "raise awareness" about a tragedy that's killed over a 100,000 people? Beyond stupid . . . even for a no-talent with a cottage cheese ass, a sex tape and a BFF named Paris Hilton. But then I'd like to think that even Paris wouldn't stupid enough to pull off a stunt like this:

Hillary Clinton: Suddenly The Small State Champion

A month ago it was about Barack Obama's supposed inability to win the big states. Now with a 40-point lead in West Virginia, a $20million in debt Hillary Clinton is speaking a different language altogether:

“The Mountain State is used to picking winners. Every nominee has carried the state’s primary since 1976, and no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916,” the campaign said in a memo.

By all measures, Clinton is expected to decisively win today’s primary, and her victory will likely be declared the moment polls close tonight at 7:30 EDT.

“A Democrat doesn’t win the White House without winning West Virginia, that’s a fact,” Clinton told a crowd of 2,500 who crammed into a gymnasium at Fairmont State University Monday night in the northern West Virginia town of the same name.

Yet a West Virginia victory for Clinton will not change the dynamic in the Democratic primary battle, although the Clinton campaign jabs at Obama’s clear weaknesses in the state.

She'll say or do anything to win.

And Now Standing In For Chicken Little: John McCain

Most conservatives recognize the hysteria surrounding global warming for the great liberal hoax/marketing scheme it really is, unfortunately Republican candidate for President John McCain is not one of them. For that reason, the McCain skeptics in the GOP have a right to be angry with him concerning his idiocy on this issue:

John McCain breaks with the Bush administration, but also with many environmentalists in a major global warming speech today.

The presumptive Republican nominee declares that climate change is undeniable and urgent, suggesting that the United States hasn't acted quickly enough and pledging to return to international negotiations. Bush refused to sign the Kyoto global warming accord.

"We have many advantages in the fight against global warming, but time is not one of them," he plans to say, according to excerpts provided by his campaign. "Instead of idly debating the precise extent of global warming, or the precise timeline of global warming, we need to deal with the central facts of rising temperatures, rising waters, and all the endless troubles that global warming will bring. We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great. The most relevant question now is whether our own government is equal to the challenge."

While he will speak at a wind turbine plant in Portland, Ore. and says he supports clean energy alternatives, McCain also proposes an expansion of nuclear power to reduce carbon emissions -- anathema to most of the environmental community.

Hillary Clinton Skewered by SNL As A Sore Loser

Brilliant stuff. Of course, the hypocrites at TalkLeft, who loved SNL not too long ago when they favored their gal over Hillary, are now claiming that SNL is now being unfair to their candidate. Of course, when reasonable people view the sketch they'll that it's really on point when you consider the racial divisiveness that's been seen throughout Hillary's campaign.

Jenna Bush Got Married Yesterday

Congrats are in order to Jenna Bush and longtime boyfriend Henry Harper for their nuptials Saturday. While idiot liberals have used Jenna as an extension of their contempt for President Bush, Jenna has become an excellent role model for young folks everywhere with her humanitarian efforts. May the Harpers have a long, happy and prosperous marriage.
