Chris Wallace Calls Out Brian Williams For ‘Biased’ Death Penalty Question At Debate

Mediaite.com:

Chris Wallace appeared on Friday’s Fox and Friends and assailed NBC’s Brian Williams over his question to Rick Perry about whether he ever struggled to sleep at night over the potential innocence of one of his many executed inmates, calling it an example of a “liberal bias.”


“Would you ask a liberal politician about sleeping at night if they favored abortion or choice? ” Wallace argued. “It is so built into the drinking water, if you will, in some of these liberal outlets that they don’t even understand it happens.”


Anchor Steve Doocy set up the question with a critique by conservative media critic Bernie Goldberg who said that Williams shouldn’t have asked the question, which Wallace agreed with “100%”.


“There were a bunch of questions that I thought that there was a left-wing bias,” Wallace opined. “That’s the only way you can describe it.”


“If you watch that debate, it’s just a different set of questions than they would’ve asked Democratic candidates…I just think there is a bias against conservatives in the mainstream media. I absolutely agree with Bernie Goldberg.”

Closet Racist Rachel Maddow Describes Obama as 'Boy King'

Of course most conservatives know already that most white liberals are closet racists:

Those crickets you hear? Her fellow left-wingers responding to Rachel Maddow referring to then-President Elect Obama as a "boy king" on her MSNBC show last night.


Yes, hard to believe. Even in an era when the president of the United States is a man of color, as is our attorney general, as is the governor of Massachusetts where Maddow lives, Obama must be subjected to such vile disrespect -- a black man at the pinnacle of achievement described as a mere "boy," albeit of the monarchical variety.


It hardly lessens the sting that this came from one of Obama's most vocal defenders in the leeward media, Maddow herself, an ardent liberal who can detect racism, real or imagined, anywhere in a 10-state radius.


Listen for yourself from the embedded video while Maddow takes off her KKK hood just long enough to commit this utter outrage (1:09 in the clip). If any children are within earshot of your computer, you may want to shield them lest they pursue a path of skepticism toward affirmative action and speech codes as a result of witnessing this crime against humanity.


That non-existent reaction from liberals after Maddow revealed she is the late George Wallace's alter ego stands in sharp contrast to the left-wing hissy fit after Rush Limbaugh had the Maddowesque gall to describe Obama as a "little boy" and "this little man-child."


At the very least, Maddow can expect a cold shoulder at the water cooler from MSNBC colleague and inveterate grievance monger Al Sharpton, who pounced on the chance to pontificate after Pat Buchanan described Obama to Sharpton as "your boy."

Obama Jobs Package Fails To Lift Spirits, Stock Market Plunges

Just another speech:

Deep skepticism about Congress passing President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs package and fears that Greece could slip into default sparked a severe stock market selloff on Friday.


The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 304 points, or 2.69 percent, a reminder of how dangerously fragile the situation is despite government initiatives worldwide to stabilize the economy and fuel growth.


“There is only so much we can withstand before we move into a recession,” said Mesirow Financial chief economist Diane Swonk.


Europe had primarily caused the downturn, Swonk said, although political gridlock and reports of a possible terror attack on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday also weighed heavily on traders Friday.


German officials said Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government is putting together a strategy for supporting banks in the event Greece defaults, according to Bloomberg News. A default could ignite a further selloff that would bite into the revenues and profits of American companies with European operations, a shock that could possibly pull the stalled U.S. economy into a full-blown recession.

Ann Coulter Sours On Sarah Palin: ‘I’m Starting To Dislike Her Because Of Her Fans’

Mediaite.com:

Polls are showing Sarah Palin‘s presidential hopes– if she has them–sinking, and the time to make a decision inching nearer, or perhaps already past, if others on the right are any indication. On last night’s O’Reilly Factor, host Laura Ingraham asked Ann Coulter to assess Palin’s chances of jumping in, to which she expressed some impatience: “I think she’s terrific at what she does… but fish or cut bait here.”


Coulter joked that the Palin presidential speculation may not be over soon, as “Newt Gingrich carried it on for fifteen years,” partially due to the lackluster poll numbers. But even if her poll numbers are bad, Coulter argued, “no conservatives will criticize Palin because they don’t want to deal with the hate mail.” She explained that Palin’s supporters made a vice of their loyalty, so much so that “you say her voice is a few octaves too high… and you’ll be inundated with letters.” She later noted that while “we used to all love Sarah Palin for her enemies, I’m starting to dislike her because of her fans.”


Ingraham switched gears a bit on what was wrong with Palin as a presidential candidate, suggesting that voters were “hungry for real substance” and that Palin “had to do a lot more of the heavy lifting to be taken seriously” than she seemed interested in doing. Coulter agreed, adding that Palin “is terrific at what she does,” but when it comes to the presidential campaign, “fish or cut bait here.”


As for others that may be contemplating a run, Ingraham half-joked that it was “borderline irresponsible” for people who could potentially defeat President Obama to stay out of the race, and while Coulter agreed that all potentially viable candidates should run, added that the hurdles to jump in a campaign are significant.

Leftist Video Game Allows Players to Slaughter "Tea Party Zombies" Like Sarah Palin and Bill O'Reilly

MRCTV.org:

Have you ever fantasized about beating Bill O'Reilly to death with a crowbar or shooting up the offices of Americans for Prosperity with an Uzi? Well, the folks at StarvingEyes Advergaming apparently have and they'd like to share their latest creation with the world. The game is called "Tea Party Zombies Must Die" and, apart from abysmal game play, features several different levels where your only objective is to mercilessly slaughter everyone around you whether they are a Fox News stars or simply Americans For Prosperity employees.


Among the notable conservatives who you are tasked with brutally killing are Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Newt Gingrich, Brit Hume, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Glenn Beck, and the Koch Brothers.


Of course there are plenty of lesser targets to mindlessly butcher like the "factory made blonde Fox News barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie" or the "Koch industries Koch Whore lobbyist pig zombie". The names are as creative as they are classy. Kind of like the game itself.


While it is disturbing to see that some people believe it would be fun to mow down your political opponents it's also quite that odd that an advertising company with a diverse portfolio of high profile corporate clients from Meow Mix to Pepsi would create a game to allow those people to do just that. Does StarvingEyes really want to risk their business with TLC or Hotels.com by going out on their own to make a disgusting and offensive game like this? Or were they paid?


Regardless of who was responsible this news comes at just the right time to reinforce the already solid theory that the left doesn't care at all about the New Tone they championed not so long ago. New Tone indeed...


UPDATE: I emailed StarvingEyes for comment on the game and it potentially bothering other clients. Jason Oda, the head of the company, responded with the following: "The game was just a personal project. I am not worried about it effecting business."

Dr. Keith Ablow: Watching Chaz Bono On DWTS Is ‘Toxic’ To Children

FOXNews.com:

Chaz Bono, the “transsexual” woman who underwent plastic surgery and takes male hormones in an effort to appear to be a man, and who asserts she is a man, will appear on the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars", according to ABC, the network which airs the show. He will be partnered with a woman.


Casting Chaz Bono on "Dancing with the Stars" is part of Chaz’s victory tour, which has included appearances on talk shows and the release of a book called "Transition."

Casting Chaz Bono on "Dancing with the Stars" is part of Chaz’s victory tour, which has included appearances on talk shows and the release of a book called "Transition."


I advise parents to not allow their children to watch the episodes in which Chaz appears.


Here’s why: Many of the children who might be watching will be establishing a sense of self which includes, of course, a sexual/gender identity. Some will be girls becoming comfortable with dramatic changes in their bodies. Some will be boys coming to terms with integrating the dawn of manhood with exquisite feelings of vulnerability. Young viewers will include tomboyish girls and sensitive, less stereotypically “masculine” boys. They will also include children who have sustained the losses of loved ones and are wrestling with depression, perhaps wondering who they are absent their deceased mothers or fathers.


The last thing vulnerable children and adolescents need, as they wrestle with the normal process of establishing their identities, is to watch a captive crowd in a studio audience applaud on cue for someone whose search for an identity culminated with the removal of her breasts, the injection of steroids and, perhaps one day soon, the fashioning of a make-shift phallus to replace her vagina.


It is a toxic and unnecessary byproduct of the tragic celebration of transgender surgery that millions of young people who do watch "Dancing with the Stars" will have to ponder this question: Maybe my problems really stem from the fact that I’m a girl inside a boy’s body (or a boy inside a girls body). Maybe I’m not a tomboy; I’m just a boy! Maybe I’m not just being bullied because I’m a sensitive, reflective young man interested in flowers, not football. Maybe I’m not just uncertain about my sexuality. Maybe I’m a girl! Maybe all this angst and suffering I’m feeling as I emerge into puberty and pass through it isn’t just because I’m changing, but because I should change completely—and have my breasts removed or my penis amputated!

Of course liberals support this kind of thing because transgender is the new black.

Sen. Jim DeMint Blasts Obama: ‘I’m Not Interested In His Speech’

Mediaite.com:

On ABC’s This Week today, Senator Jim DeMint went after President Obama for his upcoming speech this week on jobs, asking for a written proposal that can be calculated by the CBO instead of an address by the president to Congress.


Rather than dwelling too long on Speechgate 2011: The Incredible One-Day Saga Of A Minor Scheduling Issue, DeMint focused on the expected content of the president’s speech and threw cold water on Christiane Amanpour’s question of whether any of the president’s plans would be able to get Republican support.


I’m, frankly, very tired of speeches. I don’t want to be disrespectful to the president, but what I want to see is something in writing and what the Congressional Budget Office tells us it’s going to cost so that we can not only read it ourselves, but the American people can read it. Speeches, we’ve found, are not very similar to the actual legislation.


DeMint claimed there was a disconnect between the White House and American businesses on job creation, and dismissed President Obama’s upcoming speech as just “pandering to his base.” Because according to DeMint, “as the Congressional Budget Office said, we can’t score a speech.”


The senator certainly has a point when it comes to the value and content of a speech versus actual legislation, but speeches are generally used to sell ideas to people in the most effective form possible. A good communicator like President Obama can use the bully pulpit to explain to Congress and the American people his specific goals for job creation in the immediate future. If he can convey those ideas effectively, then the speech will have achieved its desired effect. Otherwise, it will be a missed opportunity.

HuffPo’s Howard Fineman On Obama’s Biggest Mistake: Health Care Reform

Mediaite.com:

On his show today, Chris Matthews asked his panelists to name President Obama’s biggest mistake in office. Howard Fineman, Editorial Director at the Huffington Post, suggested it was none other than the controversial health care reform bill pushed through the Congress last year.


The other panelists had less surprising offers: focusing on Afghanistan as a war of necessity and not closing down the prison at Guantanamo Bay were two of the ideas thrown out there. But Fineman and fellow panelist David Ignatius agreed that the president’s focus on health care reform was the biggest mistake of his presidency.


Fineman’s take:


His decision to spend all of his political capital and a year-and-a-half of his time on the health care reform law, I think, was his biggest political mistake.


Ignatius echoed Fineman’s sentiments, also pointing out that President Obama did not have that much political capital on health care reform to begin with.


The idea of watching a major change in social legislation without having a consensus in the country and in Congress about what that should look like was a mistake. That’s not how the president makes good policy.

NOW they say it was a mistake. Funny that.

Dick Cheney: U.S. Would Be Different If Hillary Clinton Was President

Hey, whoever said Dick Cheney wasn't flexible?:

To promote his new memoir, former vice president Dick Cheney has been making the media rounds, discussing the inner workings of the Bush administration and sharing his thoughts on the policies of the Obama administration. On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace asked Cheney if he thinks Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have been a better president than the current officeholder.


Cheney did not say outright that Clinton would be a better president, but thought it was a likely possibility and suggested she might have been “easier to work with” than President Obama.


I have the sense that she’s one of the more competent members of the current administration, and it would be interesting to speculate about how she might perform if she’d be president… but I don’t want to be in the position where I’m supporting Hillary Clinton. That might be the kiss of death for her.


The vice president said he wouldn’t discourage Clinton from running, but insisted his support would be firmly behind the Republican nominee. However, Wallace pointed out that when current GOP frontrunner Rick Perry ran for reelection last year in the Texas governor’s race, Cheney threw his support to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison instead.


Cheney clarified that he has not officially thrown his support by any one candidate yet, before explaining that his endorsement of Hutchison was not meant to be a slight to Perry, but rather as a testament to his close relationship with the senator.

Obama Oversees Zero Job Growth During August, Black Unemployment Highest In 27 Years

It's on his watch so Barry's responsible, come 2012 it's time for another change:

August brought no increase in the number of jobs in the United States, a signal that the economy has stalled and that inaction by policy makers carries substantial risk.


The government report on hiring, released on Friday, prompted another round in a relentless diminution of economic expectations. The unemployment rate, at 9.1 percent, did not change last month, and the White House said it was expected to stay that high through at least 2012.


The optics of a giant zero in the jobs column — more symbolically powerful, perhaps, than even a small decrease might have been — increase the pressure on President Obama as he prepares to deliver a major address on job creation next week, on Republicans who have a starkly different approach to economic revival and on the Federal Reserve, whose policy makers have been divided over the wisdom of using its limited arsenal of tools to get the economy moving again.


The White House immediately seized on the report to bolster the president’s impending call to action. Republicans countered that the numbers were further proof that the stimulus policies of Mr. Obama, whom they quickly dubbed “President Zero,” were not working.


Mr. Obama, who instructed the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday to pull back on more stringent standards on ozone emissions in response to complaints that they would hurt hiring, is expected to propose tax incentives to promote hiring and infrastructure spending. He also is expected to renew the payroll tax cut and extend unemployment benefits, both of which are set to expire.


The Federal Reserve is expected to weigh whether to take steps to help lower long-term interest rates to bolster the economy at its two-day meeting this month.


The new data, a monthly snapshot from the Department of Labor, sent stocks sliding. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 253.31 points, 2.2 percent, Friday, closing at 11,240.26.


Some economists said the possibility of a double-dip recession was increasing.


“As long as payrolls are weak, you will continue to hear cries of not just recession risk but cries that the United States is in a recession and we just don’t know it,” said Ellen Zentner, the senior United States economist for Nomura Securities.
