Ari Fleischer: Fire Helen Thomas For Anti-Jew Comments

HuffPo.com:

Longtime White House scribe Helen Thomas caused more than a few eyebrows to perk up when video surfaced on Friday of her declaring that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go back to Germany and Poland. 

Captured by Rabbi David Nesenoff of RabbiLive.com, the footage made the rounds on mostly conservative and neoconservative sites, with some private complaints that her comments weren't getting wider play. 

Thomas on Friday apologized in a written statement, saying she deeply regretted the comments -- which were offered, ironically, during the White House's Jewish Heritage Celebration.

But even as she was trying to walk back the remarks, calls for her firing mounted. Among the more vocal was former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who claimed to have a close relationship with Thomas when he was manning the daily briefings.

"She should lose her job over this," Fleischer said in an email. "As someone who is Jewish, and as someone who worked with her and used to like her, I find this appalling."

"She is advocating religious cleansing. How can Hearst stand by her? If a journalist, or a columnist, said the same thing about blacks or Hispanics, they would already have lost their jobs."

Helen Thomas should be fired, but she won't. That White House press position is literally her life and Barry doesn't have the guts to let her go.

This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse: McDonald's Indoctrinates Gay Agenda With "Come As You Are" Commercial

Indoctrination:

"McDonald's says they 'stand by and support our people to live and work in a society free of discrimination and harassment,'" the AFA said. However, "Here is what they won't tell you. McDonald's helped sponsor the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade."

The American Family Association asked McDonald's to remain neutral in the culture war. The company refused, "stating they will continue to support the gay agenda including same-sex marriage," the AFA said.

McDonald's spokesman Bill Whitman even told the Washington Post people, including Christians, who oppose homosexual marriage are motivated by "hate."

"The boycott is not about hiring homosexuals or how homosexual employees are treated. It is about McDonald's choosing to put the full resources of their corporation behind promoting the homosexual agenda," AFA said.

The issue erupted after McDonald's paid $20,000 and installed one of its executives on the board of the National "Gay" and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

The AFA now is asking consumers to sign a boycott petition and contact their local restaurant managers to raise objections over the company's activism.

Meanwhile, efforts by a local California organization to stage picketing in front of McDonald's restaurants until their managers agree to forward the group's concerns to the corporation headquarters are expanding.

Obama Knew That Oil Would Leak For Months

Barry said he's been fighting the BP oil spill from "day one" - you decide: 

As the president visits the Gulf anew, Richard Wolffe reports that he was first briefed in April on how bad the spill would be. Plus: the real reason the White House is so mad at Carville—and why Obama would rather talk about the economy.

Critics have bashed President Obama for being slow to seize the political initiative in combating the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast, now widely believed to be the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. The White House has battled back, releasing a timeline of events showing that Obama was briefed—and deploying the Coast Guard—within 24 hours of the Deepwater Horizon blowout.

What has not been previously disclosed: The president was not only briefed on the real-time events of the spill, but also on just how bad it would be—and how hard it would be to plug the hole.

Allen had called Carville after his first TV outburst to talk about the administration’s response, but Carville failed to return the call. When Allen asked why, Carville said he had been busy, the aide says. 

Carol Browner, director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, told Obama at one of the earliest briefings in late April that the blowout would likely lead to an unprecedented environmental disaster, senior White House aides told The Daily Beast. Browner warned that capping a well at such depths had never been done before, and that they ought to expect an oil spill that would continue until a relief well was drilled in August, the aide said.

That early briefing on the scope of the spill—and enormous technical challenges involved in fixing it—might help explain the sense of fatalism that has infused Obama's team from the start.

Old Bruce Lee Interview

Hey, I'm a huge Bruce Lee fan so this interview is kind of a big deal to me.

Obama Listens To Spike Lee, Now Says He's "Furious" About BP Oil Spill

NYmag.com:

Spike Lee voiced the thoughts of many critics last night when he remarked on President Obama's allegedly unemotional response to the oil crisis. "He's very calm, cool, collected. But, one time, go off!" Lee said on CNN. "If there's any one time to go off, this is it, because this is a disaster." Well, Spike Lee, prepare yourself to be ... disappointed! While President Obama tells Larry King today that he is "furious" about the whole situation — a definite upgrade from the "anger and frustration" he expressed last week — he doesn't think "venting and yelling at people" would be very constructive, if you don't mind his saying so.

When one of Barry's radical lefty celebrity friends speaks, he listens.

George W. Bush: I'd Waterboard Khalid Sheik Mohammed Again To Save Lives

Politico.com:

Former President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he has no regrets about waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, saying that, if presented with the same opportunity, he’d “do it again.” 

Bush made the comments in reference to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks who was waterboarded after his capture, during a speech to the Economics Club of Grand Rapids in Michigan. The remarks were first reported by the Grand Rapids Press. 

“Yeah, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said. “I'd do it again to save lives.”

Real leadership, something sorely missing in this country.

Paul McCartney Slams George W. Bush's Intelligence, Silent On Marrying Heather Mills Without Pre-nup

Ha ha. Another liberal elitist takes a shot at the intelligence of former President Bush and like 'comedian' Russell Brand before him, this celebrity is a foreigner who had the nerve to insult Bush on American soil, in front of Obama no less: 

Meet Paul McCartney: political flashpoint. McCartney performed for President Obama, the first family and a number of other stars at the White House last night as part of a show celebrating his winning the Gershwin Prize. After the show — and apparently after the President had left the room — McCartney thanked the audience and noted how nice it was to receive the award from the Library of Congress, and “in fact, after the last eight years it’s great to have a president who knows what a library is.” Snap! Cue look of amazement on Jerry Seinfeld’s face and loud cheers from the room.

The remark, meanwhile, struck Joe Scarborough as “completely unnecessary”: “That guy’s been my idol, you know what, I don’t have many idols, just sing your damn song.”

Funny too that McCartney would take the time to slam Bush when he himself never even went to college (Bush graduated from Yale). Then too wasn't it the mega-rich McCartney who recently went against friend's advice and married (and 3 years later divorced) a woman, Heather Mills, he barely knew without signing a pre-nup:

Last week, after months of rumors, Paul and Heather Mills McCartney finally showed their hands—and declared war. McCartney, 64, reportedly filed divorce papers that, according to a source, cite the former model's "unreasonable behavior" for the split. (British tabs went further, saying she was "argumentative" and "rude to the staff.") Meanwhile, Heather, 38, has no plans to go quietly. "She will file her own counterclaims in Britain and America," her rep tells Scoop. (The ex-Beatle owns property in Long Island, Los Angeles and Arizona, says a source.) The singer has an estimated $1.6 billion fortune, and there's no prenup. "[With] Heather announcing she is prepared to fight," a source close to McCartney says, "things are just going to get uglier." Still, McCartney seems to be moving on: For the first time since their May split, he has been spotted without his wedding ring.

Thanks to McCartney's carelessness with his wealth, Mills would walk away with 24.3M (euro). But yeah, Bush is the idiot.

Rod Blagojevich Trial Could Land Obama In More Hot Water

YahooNews.com:

Another possible wild card in Blagojevich's long-awaited trial that begins on Thursday is whether it will entangle Obama and his aides in Illinois' hurly-burly political theater.

The trial, which is expected to last up to four months, may expose discrepancies in how members of Obama's future administration characterized its contacts with Blagojevich after the November 2008 election.

Blagojevich is accused of trying to trade official acts for kickbacks to his campaign fund, to his friends, to his wife, Patti, and to himself. He is accused of trying to extract favors from, among others, a movie producer, the chief of a local children's hospital, and the Chicago Tribune.

Judge James Zagel of the U.S. District Court ruled out a defense request to have Obama testify. But among those who may take the stand are senior White House staffers Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, U.S. Senator Richard Durbin, and U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

You think Barry's starting to have regrets about filling out that POTUS job application?

Rudy Giuliani Slams Obama Over Handling Of BP Oil Spill

In 2008 Americans elected Barack Obama to POTUS on the basic premise that he was the antithesis of George W. Bush. That's it. A man with little to no experience at leading, a radical leftist with ties to terrorists, a man who voted "present" half the time he served as Senator, a man born from the corrupt "Chicago-style" politics that have literally decimated that city, a man who became popular due to a "great" speech he made at the DNC in '04 reading from a teleprompter. And now folks are supposed to be "shocked" that Barry has been so inept in handling this latest crisis? Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Women Abuser Charlie Sheen Agrees To Misdemeanor, 30 Days In Jail

CBS4Denver.com:

Charlie Sheen has reached an agreement with authorities in Colorado over domestic violence allegations involving his wife, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

The agreement was confirmed by Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin, who declined to disclose details.

Brooke Mueller Sheen's lawyer, Yale Galanter, also confirmed a plea agreement but refused to say what the terms were because "a deal is not a deal until the judge approves it."

"There has definitely been a deal reached," said Galanter. "Brooke is totally satisfied with the deal but if she had her druthers, the case would have been dismissed."

Sheen pleaded not guilty to menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges stemming from an argument with his wife on Christmas Day at an Aspen home where they were on vacation. The most serious charge is menacing, a felony that carries a maximum three-year prison sentence.

30 days?!? What a joke. Any non-celebrity would've gotten plenty more. Charlie Sheen has serious anger-management issues and he's going to abuse more women because of it.

Liberal CBS Blames George W. Bush For Tipper And Al Gore Separation

NewsBusters.org:

Is there anything a journalist cannot or will not twist to bring the topic back to how life would be so much better if only not for that awful George W. Bush? On Tuesday's CBS Evening News, with the help of the Washington Post's Sally Quinn, Sharyl Attkisson managed to blame news, that Al and Tipper Gore are separating, on how they never got over being denied the presidency despite winning the popular vote in 2000. If only Bush hadn't taken it from them.

Attkisson recalled “it's been ten years since that oddly public passionate kiss at the Democratic convention. That was followed by Gore winning the popular vote for President but losing the electoral vote. Family friend Sally Quinn says that may have done the marriage irreparable harm.” 

Viewers then head from Quinn, who's married former Post Executive Editor Ben Bradlee and is now titular overseer of the paper's “On Faith” blog: “He obviously suffered a lot and still is suffering. He'll never get over that and neither will she.”

Yeah, look at how closer Bill and Hillary got after they won the presidency...Bush Derangement Syndrome, it never ends.

Obama To Meet With Jan Brewer

FOXNews.com:

President Obama intends to meet with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday, a White House official told FoxNews.com, after criticism mounted over the president's refusal to meet her while she is in Washington this week.

Brewer had requested a face-to-face meeting with Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the former Arizona governor, as tensions rise between his administration and the Grand Canyon State over its controversial law clamping down on illegal immigrants.

White House spokesman Adam Abrams had said over the weekend that Obama's schedule "doesn't allow for a meeting" with Brewer but added that the president "does intend to sit down with the governor in the future."

The apparent snub came after Justice Department officials told Arizona's attorney general and aides to the governor Friday that the federal government has serious reservations about the state's new immigration law.

Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce, a Republican who helped draft Arizona's SB 1070, called Obama's refusal to meet with Brewer "an insult."

Forget that this meeting should've happened awhile ago, Barry has since made himself look even more like a prick for for criticizing a bill he hasn't read and now for at first blowing off Governor Brewer while she's in town this week. He campaigned up and down the country on having a "post-partisan" (granted, conservatives never bought it) presidency, yet has shown to have a complete distaste for Republicans since taking office. Barry had the guts to criticize Brewer and SB1070 from afar, now show some guts and repeat that leftist propaganda to her face.

Supreme Court: Suspects Have To Explicitly Invoke Right To Remain Silent

WaPo.com:

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that a criminal suspect must explicitly invoke the right to remain silent during a police interrogation, a decision that dissenting liberal justices said turns the protections of a Miranda warning "upside down." 

The court ruled 5 to 4 that a Michigan defendant who incriminated himself in a fatal shooting after nearly three hours of questioning thus gave up his right to silence, and the statement could be used against him at trial. 

"Where the prosecution shows that a Miranda warning was given and that it was understood by the accused, an accused's uncoerced statement establishes an implied waiver of the right to remain silent," Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote for the court's conservatives.

Good for SCOTUS. Our cops got enough to worry about besides trying decipher whether or not a suspect invoked his right to remain silent. Don't wish to be interrogated? Then say so. Remember, just because somebody's a criminal doesn't mean they're stupid. Too often "clever" criminals attempt to work the law and find a liberal, criminal-friendly court to rule in their favor (in this case the suspect provided monosyllabic answers to questions for three hours before finally admitting guilt, but did not explicitly invoke his right to remain silent), but cops shouldn't have to read minds. Suspects have no problem speaking up when they want a lawyer, the same rule should apply when they don't wish to talk.

Al and Tipper Gore Announce Separation

CNN.com:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have sent an e-mail to family friends announcing a mutual decision to separate, a longtime family friend told CNN.

"We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate," the message said.

"This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the authenticity of the e-mail but decline to comment further.

The couple, married for 40 years, has four grown children.

Hey, thanks to his phenomenal global warming scam, the Goracle's a billionaire now. Forget Tipper, time to go Tiger, find some hookers and play the field...yunno, enjoy all of life's vices. Tipper should understand. Heh.

Georgia Liberals Going After Conservative Democrat John Barrow For Opposing ObamaCare

Macon.com:

When the No. 3 House Democrat visits Georgia next week to extol the government's health care overhaul, Rep. John Barrow - a conservative Democrat who opposed the bill - won't be there to welcome the guest to his district.

However, Barrow's opponent in the July 20 primary, who says the incumbent has betrayed the party by voting too often against its agenda, says she'll be attending the Augusta event Tuesday with campaign materials in-hand.

Barrow is already facing anger from liberal Georgia Democrats for voting against President Barack Obama's health care plan in March. The Savannah lawmaker is seeking re-election to a fourth term in southern Georgia's 12th District.

The visit by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., to speak about the benefits of the health care law in Barrow's district has put the congressman in a tough spot heading into a contested primary.

"It's very awkward," Tony Center, Democratic Party chairman for Savannah and surrounding Chatham County, said Friday. "You've got a member of the leadership coming to the district and an incumbent congressman who doesn't want to be seen with him."

Still, Center and other party officials in the southern Georgia district say core Democrats, particularly blacks who make up nearly 40 percent of the district's voters, have grown increasingly unhappy with Barrow's conservative tilt.

This summer, Barrow faces a primary rematch with former state senator Regina Thomas of Savannah, who says she's the real Democrat in the race. That message didn't work for Thomas when she opposed Barrow in the 2008 primary. She received only 24 percent of the vote.

Some Democratic critics say Barrow went too far this year with his vote against the health care overhaul - which they saw as a betrayal of a key Democratic policy and of Obama, who endorsed Barrow in the 2008 primary.

Montgomery County Democratic chairman John Brewer, in an unusual breach of primary-season neutrality, said earlier this month he's so furious with Barrow that he'll vote against him in July. If Barrow wins re-election, Brewer said, he'll actively work to recruit another Democratic opponent for the congressman in 2012.

Dare to be a Democrat who thinks different and this is the kind of backlash you receive.
