Bill Maher Says 'F--k You' To Guests Disagreeing With His Religious Views

Newsbusters.org:

When conservative atheist S. E. Cupp and liberal atheist Bill Maher get together on the same stage, it's a metaphysical certitude they're going to fight about religion.


Following up on their last heated theological battle on the May 14 installment of HBO's "Real Time," Cupp and Maher went at it again on Friday this time over Glenn Beck's decision to become a Mormon after he got remarried.


Not surprisingly, Maher thought it was absurd Beck and his soon to be bride decided to "shop around for religion."


When Cupp made the case that Maher as an atheist couldn't possibly understand how God's callings work, and others on the panel agreed with her, the host said, "Oh f--k you all," and moved on to his "New Rules" segment.

Charles Krauthammer Smacks Down Inside Washington Panel Over GOP Campaign Contributions

Newsbusters.org:

Charles Krauthammer on Friday called the entire panel of PBS's "Inside Washington" a bunch of whiners for complaining about anonymous campaign contributions Republicans are receiving this election cycle.


After host Gordon Peterson briefly explained the impact of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling earlier this year, NPR's Nina Totenberg called it a "scandal in the making...this is the kind of thing that led to Watergate."


Peterson then surprisingly asked, "Are you aware of any Democrats turning down soft money like this?"


Totenberg hypocritically answered, "No, but the Democrats aren't getting - it's eight to one is the, is the disproportion here."


Krauthammer marvelously jumped in, "So in other words, it's whining," and that's when the fun started.

NOW Endorses Jerry Brown On Same Day As'Whore' Comment Surfaces

As long as you're a Democrat who supports abortion the radical feminists in this country will give you a pass on everything:

California's National Organization for Women announced its endorsement for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown on Friday, the same day a taped conversation surfaced in which one of Brown's aides called the Republican candidate a 'whore.'


"As governor, mayor, and attorney general, Jerry Brown has promoted and defended women's rights," the group's president, Patty Bellasalma, said in a statement. "Jerry stands for fairness and equality and never ever backs down. We have every confidence that he will do the same as California's next Governor."

"For California women, actions speak louder than words. We know Jerry Brown's record, and we know Meg Whitman's record. The choice is clear. We strongly urge California women to vote for Jerry Brown for governor," Bellasalma added.

It's likely not a coincidence that the women's group released their endorsement on Friday.

Whitman's campaign manager Jillian Hasner responded Friday to NOW's endorsement, sharply condemning the group as a "partisan organization."

"Meg Whitman is a pro-choice woman who was ranked among the world's most accomplished women in business. She's now running to become the first woman governor in California's history, and on the same day that it's reported Jerry Brown's campaign called her a 'whore'; the National Organization of Women endorses him. It's official: N.O.W. is a partisan organization," Hasner said.

The group does indeed support several political issues that a majority Democrats support and a majority of Republicans oppose.

What Do Democrats Have Against Women?

Excellent piece by the one-n-only Kirsten Powers:

The Jerry Brown campaign's “whore” comment wasn't the first to slur against a Republican woman. And look where the attacks are coming from—progressives and liberal women.

“What about saying that she’s a whore?”

No, I wasn’t eavesdropping on a Duke fraternity meeting. This was the suggestion of an aide to Democrat Jerry Brown on how to deal with his GOP rival for the California governorship, Meg Whitman.

Brown’s response? “Well I’m going to use that.”

Not anymore.

Once a tape of the conversation was leaked, the Brown campaign apologized.

While we, sadly, are all too familiar with the casual misogynistic comment, what perhaps is more surprising is where these slurs lately have been coming from—progressive bastions like the Brown camp, and liberal women.

Last month, liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller laughed uproariously when a female guest on her show said that if she ever met Michelle Malkin, “I would kick [her] right in the nuts,” and warned, “Wear a cup, lady.”

Charming.

Or how about this: “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote.” This is what Democratic Rep. Janis Baird Sontany of Nashville said earlier this year of her female GOP colleagues.

Or this: “Sarah Palin may be a lady, but she ain't no woman,” as Cinta Wilson wrote during the tsunami of anti-Palin hysteria in 2008. In her Salon piece, Wilson went on to refer to the Alaska governor as a “Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume” and the GOP’s “hardcore pornographic centerfold spread.”

Who needs misogynist men when liberal women will do the job for you, often sounding that shopworn theme that women GOP candidates are somehow inauthentic women?

GOP Candidate Art Robinson Takes Down Rachel Maddow's Smear Campaign

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

What with MSNBC now clearly serving as a political arm of the Left, it doesn't make much sense for any GOP'er to ever go on the Left's leading network. Yet if any Republican would to dare go on MSNBC they outta take a cue from Art Robinson. This is a classic takedown of the liberal media's smear campaign against the Right. Indeed, conservatives everywhere should be proud.

Jerry Brown Aide Called Meg Whitman A "Whore", Brown Agreed

This is from the party that likes to claim that they're out in front on women's rights while the other isn't, women who are liberal that is

Jerry Brown's campaign apologized Thursday for a private conversation captured on audiotape that has the California Democratic gubernatorial candidate agreeing to an aide's description of Republican rival Meg Whitman as a "whore."

The exchange, inadvertently recorded by a voicemail, discussed Whitman cutting a deal to protect law enforcement pensions as the candidates competed for endorsements from police.

In the garbled audio recording, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, Brown can be heard leaving a voice message for Scott Rate, a union official for the Los Angeles Police Protective League.

After asking Rate for the league's endorsement, Brown says thanks and hangs up the phone, but the call doesn't end.

Instead, the message continues to record and Brown can be heard talking about the situation with his aides.

After Brown discusses his frustration with Whitman potentially cutting a deal for several seconds, another voice appears to interject saying, "What about saying that she's a whore?"

"Well I'm going to use that," Brown replies. "It proves you've cut a secret deal to protect the pensions."

Lou Dobbs And The Nation Reporter Clash Over Illegal Immigrant Controversy

Part 2



Mediaite.com:

Lawrence O’Donnell continued his booking hot streak tonight when he had both Lou Dobbs – at the center of this controversy about employing illegal immigrants on his property – and Isabel MacDonald (whose report in The Nation sparked the controversy) onto MSNBC to debate the issue of whether Dobbs once employed illegal immigrants, despite his long-standing hard-line stance against illegal immigration.


O’Donnell strictly mediated – this was Dobbs vs. McDonald. And the first thing to jump out about this segment: it was long, taking up half the program. McDonald thought Dobbs was “holding [him]self to a completely different standard than the standards that [he's] held all other American employers to,” while Dobbs thought her piece was “a hit job.” At the center of the debate was, seemingly, semantics: Dobbs seemed to be out to prove that he never “directly, knowingly employed any undocumented worker” (and MacDonald admitted she didn’t have evidence as such), while The Nation’s point wasn’t so much that Dobbs even indirectly employing undocumented workers would make him a hypocrite. (It’s even right in the title.)


In fact, as O’Donnell himself said to Dobbs at one point:


“Well, what they’re calling you on this case is a hypocrite if you did that. You do, what I’m agreeing to is you absolutely didn’t commit a crime if you did that. I’m agreeing to that. But when you take to the pulpit and preach what you preached you got to be, you got to understand why people think this is a hypocritical outcome.”


This gets at the heart of it: Dobbs at one point said, “If you want to hold me to…a different and higher standard, you go right ahead.” And that “different and higher standard” is the price of making illegal immigration a pet cause for so long. Dobbs also mentioned during the interview his ultimate goal is a “rational, effective, humane immigration policy.” That’s a tall order, and after The Nation’s piece – “hit job” or not – the pressure is on for him to contribute significant ideas toward just that.

Miami Police Use Jay-Z In Gang Activity Poster

But then who can blame them if they haven't heard about the millions of records he's sold or the tours he's sold-out worldwide or the 10 Grammy's he's won or witnessed the current cover of Forbes magazine that he's on or that he's married to a certain R&B songtress by the name of Beyonce? Once you're black some things never change (betcha this never happens to Perez Hilton):

The Miami Police Department has pulled a truly bizarre design move while trying to bolster a local anti-gang campaign on its website. In a plea to get the public to report gang violence, the department crafted a banner that provides a crime stopper phone number and an animated depiction of a local gang. Here's where the problems begin. The banner (at left) depicts five gang members -- two of which happen to bear an unquestionable resemblance to Jay-Z.



The central character is clearly a depiction of a well-known Jay photo where he's wearing a New York Jets jersey and hat while prominently displaying a watch. The second picture is one that was used for promotional purposes around the release of the original 'Blueprint.'

While Hov's camp hasn't commented yet, we find it highly unlikely that Jay-Z, an entertainer that just covered Forbes, would condone the police department using his cartoon likeness in such a negative way. It's also odd that the other three members depicted look straight out of the 'Grand Theft Auto' video game series. Maybe the graphic designer responsible needs to get out into the real world a little more.

Sharron Angle Surging, Harry Reid's Hopes 'Fading Away'

It's the one spot the GOP must win come November:

A new Rasmussen Reports poll showing GOP challenger Sharron Angle surging ahead of No. 1 Senate Democrat Harry Reid has prompted one Democratic pundit to declare: "This race is fading away from Harry Reid."

Rasmussen Reports published a poll Thursday of likely Nevada voters showing Angle has opened up a four-point lead over Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada, 50 percent to 46 percent. It was the widest polling gap between the two candidates since June, although still just within the survey's margin of error. 

Just one week ago, a previous Rasmussen poll showed Reid leading Angle 48 percent to 47 percent.

"This race is fading away from Harry Reid," Fox News commentator and Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen tells Newsmax.

He added that "Reid is sinking and the seat is in increasing jeopardy."

ABC Links Teen Bullying to 'Wedge Issues' Like Gay Marriage

Newsbusters.org:

According to ABC's Juju Chang, "wedge issues" like gay marriage can be linked to the bullying of homosexual teens. On Thursday's Good Morning America, the news anchor connected the subject in a piece on why a "seemingly accepting society" would allow harassment.


The reporter complained, "But despite the progress, gay issues are wedge issues in this country. 29 states effectively ban gay marriage." Effectively banned? Without explaining the connection, she added, "And there's Don't Ask, Don't Tell."


In a follow-up segment, co-host Robin Roberts interviewed Harvard professor William Pollack and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, star of ABC's Modern Family, to talk about gay bullying. (It's interesting that the network chose a gay actor from ABC to talk about this issue and not one from NBC or CBS. Was this a discussion of a serious topic or promotion of a network sitcom?)

GMA allowed no dissent on the subject. Guest Pollack insisted, "...Suicide and depression happens, not only because of confusion, but because of the message that our society is given. A homophobic message. That being gay is bad. Being gay is sick."


Is it possible that someone could oppose gay marriage or Don't Ask, Don't Tell and not support bullying? 

So predictable that they'd attempt to turn Tyler Clementi into Rosa Parks. They do it all the time.

Anderson Cooper Nails Rep. Alan Grayson Over Misleading ‘Taliban Dan’ Campaign Ad

Mediaite.com:

By now, pretty much everybody discredits and disdains the ‘Taliban Dan’ ad commissioned by Rep. Alan Grayson. Well, everybody except for Alan Grayson, who’s still defending his attack ad on cable news networks. The Democratic congressman first took his case to MSNBC’s unconvinced Contessa Brewer, and last night he visited Anderson Cooper, who was also tough on him. Cooper plainly accuses Grayson of misrepresenting his Republican opponent Daniel Webster, saying, “You can’t argue that.” The wily Grayson responded: “I don’t know why you keep saying I can’t argue this, that, or the other thing.”


The Florida congressman tells Cooper that his intent was “to point out in a vivid way that [Daniel Webster] is someone with an 18th Century name and a 13th Century conception of how women should live in America.” Cooper points out that Grayson had to twist words and edit footage to make his point, to which Grayson responds:

I don’t agree with that. … I’ve seen that speech, and I think that [my ad] reflects exactly what his conception of women actually are.

Cooper then cited the basic tenets of ethical journalism:

We wouldn’t be allowed to do that in news. What gives you the right to do that when you’re trying to get people’s votes?

But the unapologetic Grayson claims that “we’ve moved away from the whole subject of whether he was quoted in context or out of context,” as if it only takes a week for someone to get over being accused of being a Taliban sympathizer on national television. Cooper, too, found this to be disingenuous.

Alan Grayson is scum, any person who votes for this man should be slapped.

Liberal Comedian Sarah Silverman Tweets Crude Joke About 9/11 Widows

Another example of who they really are:

Standup comic and New York Times-bestselling author Sarah Silverman joked on Twitter that widows of the Sept. 11 attacks "give the best handjobs" on Oct. 6, attributing the quote to pseudonymous 19^th century author and satirist Mark Twain.

"‘9/11 widows give the best hand jobs.' -Mark Twain," wrote Silverman, adding the hashtag, "#notcooltwain."

Later that day, the star of Comedy Central's "Sarah Silverman Program," appeared to amend her outlandish comment.

"Have remorse about last tweet," Silverman wrote on Twitter. "I'm sorry. Meant to be silly not mean. Should've quoted [Civil Rights activist and poet Maya] Angelou."

Silverman's racy brand of humor and left-wing politics has often been a source of controversy. In 2001, the comedienne came under fire for using a racial slur for people of Chinese origin during an appearance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." 

The comic has also been an outspoken critic of the conservative movement. In her New York Times bestselling book, "The Bedwetter," Silverman wrote that, "The entire Fox News Channel is a twenty-four-hour-a-day racism engine, but it's all coded, all implied."

Meghan McCain Discovers Media's Obsession With Sarah Palin

Mediaite.com:

Sarah Palin ruined Meghan McCain’s book tour. In a piece on the Daily Beast today McCain reveals that her entire book tour to promote her memoir Dirty Sexy Politics about the 2008 campaign was “haunted” by the specter of Palin.

Palin started haunting my book tour from day one when on Good Morning America I interrupted my interview with George Stephanopoulos to tell him, “My book isn’t just about Sarah Palin.” It was a domino effect from there. Backstage at most shows, I would beg producers to keep the Sarah Palin questions to only a portion of the interview, instead of dominating the whole conversation. I found myself fighting to convince people interviewing me that my book was about things other than Palin and interesting for many reasons…I found myself more than anything just trying to separate myself and my story as far away from her as possible. Everyone knows there is a media obsession with Sarah Palin, but I don’t know if everyone has quite realized that the obsession has become a fetishization.

McCain also speculates that Palin is exerting a similar influence on the national news cycle.

It seems that the only thing that gets any kind of major media attention when it comes to women in politics is either Sarah Palin or her numerous impersonators. These are the people that are creating and dominating the political narrative for women in this country…Why are only women like Sarah Palin getting nominated for elected office and receiving all of the media attention? [cf.]

To add insult to injury Sarah Palin was apparently not happy with all the attention she was getting at the hands of McCain: “Sarah Palin made it known to me via an email to a third party that she was not pleased with me or what I wrote in my book.” Not that McCain, to her credit, appears to care all that much.

Doesn't seem that she gets the irony in complaining about Sarah Palin when no one would care about her if it wasn't for her last name.

Bashing Sarah Palin Doesn't Work For New CNN "Parker/Spitzer" Show, Finishes Dead Last

Really now, besides the fact that one of your co-hosts is a recently disgraced ex-governor who repeatedly cheated on his wife with hookers, did CNN execs really think that going the MSNBC route and bringing on idiot liberal B-listers to bash Sarah Palin was going to give your new show a boost?

No joke: Out of an hour’s worth of programming, this is the 90 seconds they’re touting on CNN.com. Because, after all, if you’re a Palin-hater itching to see her demonized, how many options do you have on cable news at 8 p.m.? Oh, right — Olbermann does this every night of the year. Good work, CNN.

Please to contain your surprise upon learning that last night’s debut finished … dead last in its time slot. Yes, even behind whatever it is that Headline News runs during that hour. Good lord. Not even a respectable third place for the premiere? No public curiosity to see Client Number Nine in, er, action?

Parker Spitzer finished 4th in total viewers and the A25-54 demographic. It also lost viewers from the lead-in at 7pmET, John King USA, in total viewers…

Parker Spitzer did improve on the lead-in in the demo, and was up week-to-week in demo as well. A CNN spokesperson tells Mediaite: “We are pleased with the quality of the show and over time we think viewers will be drawn to the more thoughtful discussion and lively debate that Kathleen and Eliot have to offer.”

Reuters has a brutal round-up of the opening night reviews but all you really need to read is the New York Post’s headline to get the flavor. In fact, among all the reactions I’ve seen, the only bit of contrarianism came from a certain conservative atheist — and for once, it wasn’t me. Exit question: Is it already time for a “Parker Spitzer” cancellation watch? Over/under is New Year’s, I guess.

S.E. Cupp And Kirsten Powers On New Christine O'Donnell Ad

I don't agree. It was clear to me that she was being sarcastic, even making light of the Left's No. 1 smear tactic. No biggie on the "I'm not a witch" line and a good ad in my book.

School Must Oblige Transgender 6th-grader

Onenewsnow.com:

The radical homosexual agenda is making itself known in Maine, where a human-rights group has ruled a school must accommodate the sexual preferences of a sixth-grader.


The Maine Human Rights Commission recently ruled that Orono Middle School erred by assigning a separate bathroom to the boy, who wants to live as a girl. The decision comes after the child's parents filed a complaint with the Commission, claiming their son -- who no longer attends school in the district -- experienced anxiety and depression during the 2008-2009 school year. The panel also made a similar ruling against the elementary school that the child had attended.

"I think this is an example of this whole individual rights agenda going completely amok," laments Janice Crouse, senior fellow at the Beverly LaHaye Institute of Concerned Women for America (CWA). She thinks the parents' objection to the school's action is revealing.


"I think it shows very clearly that their agenda is not to make sure that their son's needs are met; their agenda is to prove a point and to bring that point home for the whole school district that their son has to be accepted just as he is and that there will be no consequences to the things that they are allowing to go on in their own home," Crouse suspects.

Bakery Refuses Gays, Now Faces Eviction

Refuse to normalize homosexuality and there will be repercussions:

An Indianapolis cookie shop could be evicted from its longtime location for refusing a special order from a college homosexual group.


The bakery "Just Cookies" has operated in a city-owned market for over 20 years. The president of the board that oversees the market told the Indianapolis Star that he would "hate to lose them" as a tenant -- but that could very well happen because owner David Stockton took a moral stand and did not want to endorse homosexual activity.


Controversy arose this week after the owners of the bakery cited moral objections to a special-order request for rainbow-decorated cookies for next week's "National Coming Out Day" observance at a nearby university campus. Stockton told the caller he did not feel comfortable in supporting homosexual values, especially because it would not set a good example for his two daughters.


Micah Clark of the American Family Association of Indiana says there are reports the city might evict Stockton, citing a local "anti-discrimination" statute.


"Indianapolis passed a sexual-orientation city ordinance five years ago," Clark explains. "...We warned [at that time] that this type of thing would happen if they passed an ordinance elevating a sexual behavior to the same moral equivalent of race or skin color."

ABC Sanitizes Left Wing Rally, Excludes Communist and Socialist Signs

Newsbusters.org:

Good Morning America on Sunday recapped the liberal One Nation rally held on the nation's capital, Saturday, but skipped any mention of the socialist and Communist themed signs seen during the march.


These are some of the signs that were featured during reporter Tahman Bradley's segment: ""Peace, justice, equality, hope, change," "Fair trade, not free trade," "Educate every child," "Full and fair employment" and "Silence GOP lies." However, signs with the Communist Party USA logo, posters reading "Capitalism is failing, socialism is the alternative" and "Build a socialist alternative" were not.


Instead, Bradley repeated Democratic talking points: "Several speakers and people in the crowd noted the diversity at the rally. Their insinuation, the Tea Party movement has attracted only a narrow slice of Americans."

Gallup Findings For Democrats: Blacks Still Love Obama, Others Not So Much

For Black Americans it continues to be Stockholm Syndrome with Barry and the Democrat party

The good news for President Obama is his popular support among blacks is holding steady at 91%.

The bad news is no other group of potential voters likes him that much.

In fact, 29 days before his first midterm elections, the Democrat's approval ratings remain mired below 50%.

A new Gallup Poll this morning finds his approval rating for September was 45%, almost the same as August's 44%. Obama's not exceeded the crucial 50% level in a single month so far this year.

Since Obama's name is not on any ballot Nov. 2, the proportions of Americans who like or dislike the fellow on Oct. 1 of a midterm election year shouldn't matter, in theory. However, history indicates otherwise.

Presidents with approval ratings below 50% at midterm time see their party suffer substantial losses in its congressional membership, regardless of how much explaining and blaming the president attempts in the campaign leading up to what becomes, in effect, a referendum on the president.

Obamacare Failing: High Costs, Red Tape Discourage Enrollment

Newsmax.com:

It's a centerpiece of President Barack Obama's health care remake, a lifeline available right now to vulnerable people whose medical problems have made them uninsurable.

But the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan started this summer isn't living up to expectations. Enrollment lags in many parts of the country. People who could benefit may not be able to afford the premiums. Some state officials who run their own "high-risk pools" have pointed out potential problems.

"The federal risk pool has definitely provided critical access, in some cases lifesaving access, to health insurance," said Amie Goldman, chair of a national association of state high-risk insurance pools. "That said, enrollment so far is lower than we would have expected." Goldman runs the Wisconsin state pool, as well as the federal plan in her state.

California, which has money for about 20,000 people, has received fewer than 450 applications, according to a state official. The program in Texas had enrolled about 200 by early September, an official in that state said. In Wisconsin, Goldman said they've received fewer than 300 applications so far, with room for about 8,000 people in the program.

While it'd be ridiculous to say that Obamacare doesn't have some perks, overall it's a huge failure.

Yes, Glenn Beck’s Rally Was Officially Bigger Than The One Nation Rally

Mediaite.com:

Rally numbers are the new sports statistics! According to every major media outlet yesterday’s big tent One Nation rally did not manage to draw as many people to the National Mall as Glenn Beck’s 8/28 Restoring Honor rally despite the fact they had media powerhouse Ed Schultz as a featured speaker! From the New York Times:


Noting that they began planning their rally in April, organizers said they were not responding to a march organized by Glenn Beck, which drew enormous crowds to the front of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28. But they acknowledged that their hope was to draw an even larger crowd to Saturday’s event. Significant areas of the National Mall that had been filled during Mr. Beck’s rally were empty. In a broadcast on Thursday, Mr. Beck criticized the liberals’ march, saying his supporters paid their own way to drive to Washington, while labor unions chartered hundreds of buses to ferry demonstrators to Saturday’s rally. Mr. Beck’s rally resembled a religious revival, but Saturday’s event was overwhelmingly a political and policy pep rally, although it largely avoided partisan language.


And from the AP: “Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck’s rally. But Saturday’s crowds were less dense and didn’t reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck’s rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.”

Greta Van Susteren Smacks Down Radically Feminist Lawyer Gloria Allred

Newsbusters.org:

Greta Van Susteren on Friday absolutely skewered Gloria Allred, the attorney representing California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's former housekeeper.

 In a fiery nine minute discussion on Fox's "On the Record," the host accused her guest of being "unthinkable" and "rotten" by bringing this issue to light, especially right before an election.


"You're getting your client deported by putting a big neon sign, 'Hey, I'm here illegally, I signed documents falsely, and I've done that under penalty of perjury,'" scolded Van Susteren.
