After showering, compare JBW's post to Pamela's, "Peace And Happiness On Easter": "Wishing all my Atlas readers a sweet and beautiful Easter."
And then ask yourself, once again, on which side of the street will you stand?

BONUS: Serr8d left a colorful comment at JBW's despicable entry.
I disagree with John Lewis (Democrat, Georgia) politically but I have always respected him as a genuine civil rights warrior. And I feel slightly queasy at the thought that he would dishonor both the movement and his own part in it for the cheapest of partisan points - in the same way I would be disgusted by a Holocaust survivor painting a swastika on his own door and blaming it on his next-door neighbor over a boundary dispute.But for added, devastating effect, don't miss Doug Ross, "Timeline: Anatomy of a Tea Party Smear by the Democrat-Media Complex."
But that's what the Democratic Party has been reduced to - faking hate crimes as pathetically as any lonely, mentally ill college student. Congressmen Carson, Lewis, Cleaver and the rest have turned themselves into the Congressional equivalent of the Duke University stripper. Except that they're not some penniless loser but a group of important, influential lifetime legislators enjoying all the privileges and perquisites of power, and in all probability acting at the behest of the Democrat leadership.
Isn't that what societies with functioning media used to call "a story"?
The woman's name is Ellen Ocran, a former fashion model.
She's quoted at Metro-News Halifax, "Ann Coulter should go back to where she came from because we don't want her back here," shouted Ellen Ocran, a University of Ottawa student in a shouting match with a Coulter backer."
But, actually, according to Take Back Your School, she's a legislative assistant in the Canadian Parliament. "A little late, but a tiny bit of digging found that Ellen Ocran – the psycho-looking spaz from all the Ann Coulter protest pics in Ottawa – is on the government payroll!"
The final plenary at the 2010 LEFT FORUM conference in New York features Francis Fox Piven, Brian Jones, Arundhati Roy and Noam Chomsky. The presentation begins with a memorial for the beloved historian, Howard Zinn, and proceeds to the theme of the 2010 conference: "The Center Cannot Hold - Rekindling the Radical Imagination."
If you're pressed for time, scroll forward to Arundhati Roy at about 30 minutes, where she argues that the "biggest scam" in the world is democracy. Big round of applause at that ... then Noam Chomsky ...
So here's another video of my experiences that can never really explain the level of emotion and camaraderie present. Remember, TPX picked this dust bowl of a former mining company, planted a flag in it, rolled up a flatbed and 30,000 plus showed up. Seems we were able to mine a little more gold out there. My friends on the Tea Party Express, the Rivolis, Lloyd Marcus, Darla Darwald and Amy Kremer, were in fine form and absolutely revved up. They treated us like family. Thanks guys!RTWT.
No doubt the editors included that "varying degrees" qualifier will get them off the hook. But there's no escaping the truly bankrupt moral equivalence NYT's claiming between a genuine domestic terrorist organization and a grassroots movement of conservatives, middle-class anti-tax activists, and an army of frustrated geriatrics. In contrast to a year's worth of tea parties and town halls, the Moscow-backed Weatherman launched a series of bombings starting in 1969, totalling 25 attacks in all, as part of its war against "Amerikkka." To this day, unrepentant terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn are venerated as social justice messiahs while today's citizen tea party activists wind up on DHS intelligence reports as "right wing extremists."
Anyway, the Times' article is "When Does Political Anger Turn to Violence?" And this meme will be repeated again and again until election day, all part of the smear manufacturing industry that's propping up Democratic fearmongers. And note this beauty of a passage below, where the murderous rampage of domestic jihadi U.S. Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan is chalked up to the ravings of a "lone fanatic." No doubt Anwa al-Awlaki's rolling on the floor somewhere at some militant recruiting center in Yemen:
Most experts agree that such rhetoric probably raises the remote risk of lone-wolf violence — acts of individual terrorism like the shooting at Fort Hood last November, or the attack last month in Austin, Tex., in which a man flew his plane into the building housing an Internal Revenue Service office, killing himself and an office worker.UPDATE: Linked at Gateway Pundit! Thanks.
Such acts are far too rare to be studied in any rigorous way. When they do occur, however, often there is evidence that the perpetrator was playing to a larger audience perceived to be sympathetic, whether radical Muslims, antitax crusaders or, in the case of Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, citizens angry about government intrusions.
Moscow, the economic and cultural center of the Russian Federation, has once again endured the wrath of terrorists. At just before eight o’clock Monday morning, local time, a female suicide bomber detonated herself inside a subway car, killing dozens. Less than an hour later, and several stops down the line, another bomber detonated her explosive vest, killing over a dozen more. Based on the best information available as of press time, 38 have died, and more than one hundred are wounded.RTWT at the link.
These latest blows at the heart of the Russian state have as yet not been claimed, but the methods and targets credibly point to the so-called Black Widows. These women, the female relations of Muslim rebels killed by the Russian military during numerous counter-insurgency campaigns in the Caucasus, seek revenge on Russia by striking at the heart of its cities. These attacks come two months after Dokka Umarov, the leading Islamic Chechen military leader, warned that despite Russia’s claims to have stamped out his forces, his martyrs would soon strike at Russia’s cities. Though Umarov has not yet been definitively linked to the bombings, it seems his warning had merit.
Russia’s entanglement with numerous restive groups, many of them Muslim, in its strategically important Caucasus region is a horribly complex affair. For centuries, Russia has dominated the region, and with the fall of the Soviet Union, its grip has become far more tenuous as numerous factions vie for power. Some seek independence from Moscow, others seek its support. It is rarely clear whether or not the anti-Russian forces are motivated by an Islamist’s zeal for jihad or a nationalist’s hope to see the Caucasus, particularly Chechnya, free of Russian domination. In truth, a mixture of both motivates the rebels (Umarov himself has said he was first compelled to take up arms against Russia not in the same of Allah, but of Chechnya). While their ideology is muddled, their goal is clear: terrorize Russia until their dream of an independent, Muslim Caucasus is achieved.
Anyone who’s spent time at AmPow knows what I think of Douglas’ politics… …but even putting that aside, he’s kind of a douchebag, as your post here so aptly shows. He has no understanding of sarcasm, and has yet to learn that he is not the center of the universe. He gets kinda cranky when someone doesn’t see things his way, and all too frequently lashes out, just like he did to you…And this morning the Comrade left this filthy comment at my blog:
When it comes right down to it, I feel sorry for him...
Leaving all the ego and personal vitriol of post and comment aside, I wonder whether the folks who believe that Dr. Douglas cannot speak or act in racist or bigoted ways because of his heritage also feel the same about "full blood" minorities (Jesse Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan), or even others of mixed heritage, such as President Obama...See that? Attacking me as "Halfrican" while simultaneously attacking my alleged "bigotry." Orwell would be proud.
And even if one does believe that no black man or a "halfrican" (thanks, Rush) can be a bigot toward other black folks, what is it that prevents such a man from behaving as a bigot toward hispanics, Muslims, Christians, gay folks, Jews, or women?
Dr Douglas may or may not actually be a bigot--folks can read his words, and decide for themselves--but the argument that he can't be, because he himself has minority blood--whether made by him, or by those who would defend him--doesn't hold water, at least as far as I'm concerned...
@LOT:I could go around all day and find posts that Comrade Repsac3's hijacked for nothing more than the smears. I don't read the comments at Right Wing News, where I'm a guest blogger, but the Comrade goes to town over there as well, for some damned reason, another example of the hated.
Perhaps I shouldn't bring this up, but I'm surprised you didn't speak up in defense of our evil, hateful, jihadi, "seething toxic dump of leftist hatred," tnlib over at Don's place...
While you didn't exactly toss tnlib under Don's bus, it might've been nice had you made it more clear that those sites with the name-calling and vitriol didn't include Parsley's Pics, in your opinion...
I'm sorry if you think this query rude, but after reading your generally reasonable replies on sites like this one-- Douglas labeled "hate site" The Swash Zone and Truth101's place come to mind, immediately--I've taken to wondering how you walk that fine line between Donald Douglas considering you a blog buddy and he and his thinking you an evil nihilist collaborator for actually treating folks with whom you disagree with common decency and respect.
While I disagree with your politics, I for the most part think you a fine fellow, but I do kinda wish you'd speak your mind more clearly when Donald engages in these attacks on the individuals and blogs you visit pretty regularly, whether in agreement with him or otherwise...
(Two bits well spent, after waiting entirely too long... Unless there's a comment in need of reply, that itch is scratched, and I'll say no more on the subject...)
This is not really something I would have written about today, but considering all the recent manufactured smears against conservatives as "racists," this one needs to be put to bed.Repsac3: You can quit with the racist allegations. First, nothing Swash Zone alleges is true, so forget that. And what I've written on my own blog is politically incorrect, but in no way bigoted.
As you know damned well, I love all people of all colors, races, religions, etc. I attack people on ideological grounds.
Finally, to keep attacking me as "Halfrican" IS racist. Show me where I've endorsed Rush Limbaugh's use of "Halfrican," or where I've ever attacked Obama as "Halfrican."In sum, the bigotry is found in your desperation to get the goods on me. And you and your SWASH ZONE hordes are all about hate, as I've shown in this post on TNLib.
*******"In the past 11 years of writing op-ed columns from a conservative pro-life perspective, I've received mail that is so vile that when I submitted some to a magazine relating my experiences after criticizing jihadists, I was told it was too strong for their readers. I've been called a bigot, a homophobe, and every obscene female name in the vernacular. Someone even set up a Face Book page branding me a bigot." ...
[Violence toward outspoken conservatives by liberal thugs is much more common but not widely publicized. Why was Sarah Palin's church in Wasilla, Alaska, set on fire with a church group still inside? Republican Gov. Rick Perry saw the Texas state mansion firebombed and destroyed in June 2008. Californians who were for Proposition 8 were viciously targeted for assault by militant gay rights advocates. One man in Modesto Calif., Jose Nunez, 37, was brutally assaulted outside his church where he was passing out "Vote Yes on Prop 8" stickers.]...
Same same everywhere...

Members of the Palestine House Board of Directors offer counseling on immigration, family problems, citizenship, legal matters and housing, in addition to referrals to specialized professionals and institutions. We also maintain lists of people looking to volunteer in community organizations and coordinate volunteer activities.And all of that's sponsored by Canada's "Citizenship and Immigration Bureau." In turn, the community organzations at Palestine House publish stuff like this, so you can see why some good folks protest on the streets like this:
Also, from WHNT-TV Huntsville, "Memphis Rep. Steve Cohen Decries Tea Party in Radio Interview":
U.S. Congressman Steve Cohen is drawing national attention for remarks he made about the tea party movement in a recent radio interview.Yep, hate speech.
The Commercial Appeal reports that the two-term Democrat said the tea party — "without hoods and robes" — has shown an angry, hardcore side of America that's against diversity.
He made the comments Thursday night on The Young Turks, an Internet and satellite radio talk show.
Cohen went on to say tea party members have shown hostility toward anybody who isn't "a clone of George Wallace's fan club," and that he has seen no Republican standing up to appeal for reason.
Memphis Tea Party founder and chairman Mark A. Skoda calls Cohen's remarks "hate speech."

Palestine House officials were caught on tape telling Jewish protesters "You need another Holocaust" and "We love jihad ... We love killing dogs ... your bitches with you". As a notorious "Islamophobe", I certainly don't begrudge anybody his Judeophobia. What I don't understand is why Canadian taxpayers should subsidize it.Unreal.
Yet any attempt to roll back funding for such organizations would be met by howls of protest that the government was attacking "immigrant groups" and "human rights". Lenin famously said the west would "sell us the rope by which we will hang them". He was underestimating our suicidal stupidity: We're happy to give it away.
And this is from Grumpy, "'We Love Jihad. We Love Killing You ... We Love Killing Dogs'":
Part II's here, "'You F*ckers Need Another Holocaust'":
Of course, the "objective" press is on the job, at the Toronto Star: "Each group accused the other of hate, shouting “go home.” JDL members hurled overt racist slurs, while Palestine House men threw pennies on the ground, calling the JDL “thieves”."
From Mark Steyn we learn that the the Palestine House in Toronto is hosting Abd al-Bari Atwan, editor of the London newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi. Atwan is, in Steyn's words, "a celebrity eliminationist" who declared on TV that "if the Iranian missiles strike Israel, by Allah, I will go to Trafalgar Square and dance with delight."Plus, Pamela nails it:
Any Jew who ever asks again, "how did it happen?," needs a swift kick in the head. Go over to the left wing sites (Puff Ho, KOS) -- they are preparing the ovens, asshats.But JBW, Comrade Repsac3, and Tim will continue bleating and slobbering, "but, b ... but both sides do it, Alluha Akbar!!!"
As you know, I share your revulsion to people like DD. I don't visit his blog - not only because he's an ignorant vicious prick but because of his commenters who are just as vile.I can be a vicious prick (especially when deflecting neo-communist nimrods such as this), so I'll give her that. But ignorant? Not so much. Like libel blogger David Hillman, TNLib's a seething toxic dump of leftist hatred. And note that part about "can not be reasoned with." Actually, that should probably read, "he's too sharp for me to win a debate, so I'll just demonize him as a vicious prick and avoid his blog like the plague."
I have several conservatives on my blog - not because I agree with them but because they themselves write what they perceive to be well-reasoned arguments and they do so civilly. They do not rant the SOS, they are quite civil and do not make personal attacks or use racial slurs.
I visit their blogs, read their posts but never leave a comment. It is their followers who are less than human. I don't look upon these dog fights as sport and I guess there are more rewarding places to be.
People like DD are a waste of my time and energy. It's like walking into a biker joint where the beer drinkers are course, mean and where their brains are fried from too much beer and drugs. These people can not be reasoned with.
I believe in academic freedom but I can only imagine what kind of professor he is.
To make the racial smear of the Tea Party protestors at the Capitol clear to anyone with eyes to see, I have assembled this four-minute video ...
Image Credit: NYT, "A Wall in East Harlem Speaks: Stand Up and Be Counted."When March employment figures are released Friday by the Department of Labor, analysts are expecting to see the biggest U.S. job gains in more than two years.
But perhaps half the 200,000 or so positions expected to be added to payrolls may be the byproduct of a government effort that has turned into a fortuitous job generator: the U.S. census.
The constitutionally mandated nationwide head count arrives this year at a crucial time -- after the start of the country's economic recovery, but before private-sector employers have created many jobs. That's a stroke of luck for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for failing to revive the labor market. And it's a windfall for the 700,000 temporary employees the census expects to hire, although most of the jobs will last only two to six weeks.
This year's census isn't just about counting heads, it's helping create jobs in an economy that needs them badly ...Despite the exuberance of the enumerators, some observers worry that the census hiring will do little but temporarily mask ongoing weakness in the labor market. Some analysts said it's unlikely that other parts of the economy would begin generating significant numbers of new jobs to take up the slack by the time census hiring winds down. And the stimulus generated by all those new paychecks will be modest.
"It's helpful, it's in the right direction, but the amount of income being created is small compared to the overall size of a $14-trillion economy," said Dana Johnson, a chief economist with Comerica Bank.
Still, something is better than nothing, said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor's.
"We'd rather they were real jobs as opposed to temporary jobs," he said. "But $10 an hour beats zero dollars an hour."
Michael Steel, the spokesman for House Republican Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio, was harsher in his criticism.
"The U.S. economy has lost more than 3 million jobs since President Obama signed the trillion-dollar 'stimulus' into law amid promises it would create jobs 'immediately,' " he said. "Everyone understands that temporary census hiring may inflate the statistics released on Friday, but the American people will rightly continue to ask, 'Where are the jobs?' "
The government is spending $14.8 billion on the latest census to count the population, Census Bureau spokeswoman Shelly Lowe said. Training has begun across the country, but most enumerators will begin hitting the streets in early May to conduct head counts.
He ... quotes two polls concerning Obama's approval ratings that seem to definitively prove that the president is also subject to this bout of "epic fail", except of course that they don't. The most recent RealClearPolitics accumulation of polling data shows the Rasmussen poll to be a statistical outlier (there is a consistent right-leaning bias in Rasmussen's methodology; pay attention to how often the right points solely to this organization's polling data to back up their talking points) while every other major polling firm shows Obama's approval rating to be either positive or within the margin of error (he's +2 overall)Actually, RCP's "accumulated" polling averages have been dismissed by experts as wildly inappropriate indicators of public opinion. I wrote about that here, "Mixed Poll Averages Risky as Handicapping Tool" (in political science lingo, the pooled findings are flawed due to "incommensurability"). Moreover, leftists call Rasmussen an "outlier" not because of methodological errors, but because they disagree with the results. Or, as JBW puts it, "pay attention to how often the right points solely to this organization's polling data to back up their talking points) ..."
Last week, President Obama signed historic health care reform legislation into law -- but his legislative success doesn't seem to have helped his image with the American public.That's after ObamaCare passed. So yes, JBW. EPIC. FAIL.
The latest CBS News Poll, conducted between March 29 and April 1, found Americans unhappier than ever with Mr. Obama's handling of health care - and still worried about the state of the economy.
If however Don is so certain about Obama's dismal approval ratings translating into epic failure then I'll offer him this meager yet serious wager: $100 says that the Republicans fail to gain a majority in either house of congress this November. I'm making the offer publicly so that every one reading this will be privy to it. I think Obama's a chess master of the highest caliber Don, and he's moved his pieces into position to retain his party's majorities through the remainder of his first term. Care to put your money where your mouth is, Fat Boy Slim?No, I don't want that bet, JBW FAIL. Simply because it's still way too early to predict what will happen in November. But also because congressional elections aren't generally national referendums. The president almost always loses seats in the midterms. And this year will be no different. But we're talking individual House and Senate races around the country, and the GOP's defending even more open seats than the Dems. It's a tough political environment for both parties, which is something the tea parties frequently remind stupid RINOs.

Doctors are entitled to their right of free speech and free association, just like anyone else. But I would also call into question his judgment and maturity as a person and as a practitioner if he is so petulant about his politics that he has to post them on his office door.And from the comments at Think Progress:
Sorry, little repiggies, but Sarah Palin has already picked her Wasilla witch doctor to serve as Surgeon General in a Palin administration, which thankfully will not occur.And at the same thread, this comment has been voted down:
Speaking of the delightfully stupid Sarah:

Dear Teabagging Hick Terrorists,
Now is your time to step up to the plate, or shut the f**k up. Here is your anti-socialist teabagging pledge. Sign it.
I,________________, as a member of the Tea Party, take an oath that I will not use “socialist” programs such as SS, Medicare, other medical coverage provided by the Feds, take out loans from the Feds, use the Fed highways, roads, fire departments, use 911 emergency system, the police departments, the Armed Forces will not protect me, will not use libraries, schools, use cell phones, land phones since the [sic] use Fed money, over the air television or radio stations, use the internet, use Fed workers to guide my plane to an airport, public transportation, etc.
Anything that uses Fed money, included free wood from national forest, hunting land, fishing resources, camp grounds. I will ... take a chance on the food I eat, the water I use, since I will have to test it myself along with the waste water leaving my property.
If I am using or benefiting from any Fed program, I will immediately stop and return said money.
Wow. Just. Wow.
Thousands of Christian pilgrims from around the world thronged the narrow cobblestone alleys of Jerusalem’s Old City to pray along the route tradition holds Jesus took to his crucifixion on Good Friday.BONUS: Go here for a virtual tour of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Church of the Resurrection).
"For me this is a very special visit, this is the first time for me here," said Andrea Schroetter, a pilgrim from Germany. "We prayed in all the places where Jesus marched, it is very moving," she said.
As part of the Good Friday ceremonies, the faithful descend onto the Old City to walk the Via Dolorosa, or Way of Suffering, the route tradition says Jesus carried the cross on which he was to be crucified by the Romans.
The procession begins at the Monastery of Flagellation, where Jesus was beaten, mocked and crowned with thorns.
It follows the narrow often climbing street and the 14 stations of the cross along its way, including where Jesus met his mother, fell several times, was helped in carrying the cross, and met the lamenting women of Jerusalem.
The procession ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built over the sites where Christians believe Christ was crucified and buried.
As bells tolled across the city, black-robed priests and nuns mingled with pilgrims and tourists. Many carried crosses while some, including a group from California smeared in fake blood, re-enacted the crucifixion.

Americans' views of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are not fundamentally changed after the passage of healthcare reform. Though more Americans now have an opinion of her, both her favorable and her unfavorable ratings are up from the last reading, to 36% and 54%, respectively.
The currently net-negative view of Pelosi from the March 26-28 USA Today/Gallup poll stands in stark contrast to opinions of her as she became speaker of the House in January 2007. At that time, twice as many Americans viewed her favorably (44%) as unfavorably (22%).
Opinions of Pelosi grew more negative over the course of her first two years as speaker, such that about as many Americans viewed her favorably as unfavorably. During the last year, Americans' views have become much more negative than positive.
... I plan to hold our new president's feet to the fire for the next four years; having defended him on many different levels and issues over the past few years I now fully expect him to follow through on his promise of trying to build a better tomorrow for the citizens of this country ...Okay. Right.
JBW hypocrite fail:
Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President's performance. Fifty-three percent (53%) disapprove ...Fail.
IT had all the elements for the perfect tabloid gossip item — a clash between star financial journalists, big egos and a surprise ouster that had Wall Street buzzing: Henry Blodget, the well-known disgraced-analyst-turned-financial-pundit and co-founder of the much-read blog, The Business Insider, stunned the financial community last week by firing John Carney, the star managing editor of the site’s Clusterstock blog, reportedly because of philosophical differences over the site’s coverage.Check the link for the full list of industry-moving blogs.
The news, which was quickly picked up by the Reuters financial blogger Felix Salmon, who subsequently sparked an online spat of his own with Mr. Blodget, did not break in a gossip column like The New York Post’s Page Six or in the pages of The Wall Street Journal, which in a previous era might have owned this story. Rather, the scoop came from a 25-year-old Village Voice gossip blogger and University of Utah dropout named Foster Kamer.
Surfing the Web after business hours one evening, Mr. Kamer ran across speculation about Mr. Carney’s job status on a Twitter post by Gawker Media’s owner, Nick Denton. After 90 minutes of phone calls to sources within the financial journalism subculture, Mr. Kamer nailed down the item and posted it on the Voice site.
The lines between “reporter” and “blogger,” “gossip” and “news” have blurred almost beyond distinction. No longer is blogging something that marginalized editorial wannabes do from home, in a bathrobe, because they haven’t found a “real” job. Blogging now is a career path in its own right, offering visibility, influence and an actual paycheck. As more gossip action in a variety of fields moves online, young writers who might have hungrily chased an editorial assistant job at Condé Nast a few years ago now move to New York with the dream of making it as a blogger — either launching their own blog into the big time, à la Perez Hilton, or getting snapped up by a prominent blog network like Gawker Media or MediaBistro.
And although the better-known newspaper gossip columnists still churn along, among them Richard Johnson and Cindy Adams of The New York Post, and George Rush and Joanna Molloy of The New York Daily News, much of the action has moved online, with the up-and-coming players having little in common with legendary predecessors like Walter Winchell and Liz Smith. While Ms. Smith, 87 and still active, toiled in journalism for nearly 30 years before getting her own by-lined column (working first, among other things, as a typist, proofreader and radio producer), some of the newest notables in gossip are still in their 20s and only a few years removed from the days when they blogged from their college dorm rooms about fraternity hazing mishaps and the quality of the cafeteria food.
The following are profiles of nine emerging gossip bloggers, whose names came up in interviews with influential blog entrepreneurs, fellow bloggers and other journalists as potential future stars of the online world. The list, by no means exhaustive, represents a cross-section of New Yorkers covering varied beats — entertainment, fashion, real estate, finance —for a variety of prominent blog networks. Some, like Sara Polsky of Curbed and Lilit Marcus of The Gloss, are relatively new to the business, but recently installed in a position of prominence by Web star-makers like Lockhart Steele, who runs Curbed and Eater, or Elizabeth Spiers, a founder of Gawker in 2002 who has introduced a number of successful blogs since then. Others, like Fred Mwangaguhunga of MediaTakeOut.com, are popular niche players who are quickly crossing into the mainstream.
Events are planned around the nation. And some big-gun personalities are coming out: "Cincinnati Tax Day Tea Party rally to include Sean Hannity."
A handful of liberal groups — but only a few dozen protesters — marched on the Republican National Committee offices Thursday to denounce the threats against members of Congress during the health care vote.Of course they're politicizing race. Everyone's a racist now since Obama came to office.
But in an oddly Washington moment, the gathering of MoveOn.org, Color of Change and CREDO, was met by Jordan Marks, a 28-year old conservative activist who interrupted the event and held up signs accusing the group of race-ba-ting.
Marks, of Young Americans for Freedom, shouted that the protestors were “politicizing race,” as the progressive groups sought to deliver a petition to RNC Chairman Michael Steele asking him to denounce threats against lawmakers and incidents of vandalism.
Of course, Moveon.org is the same hate group that slandered General Petraeus and created Bush-Hitler ads during the 2004 election:But of course, idiot slob JBW will be blathering, but, b... but ... "both sides do it"!
Conservatives tend to be up front about who they are and what they want to do. The thought of infiltrating a lefty organization to cause mischief has probably never crossed the minds of most conservatives. Lefties have proven that they will, and they are planning to do so. Be prepared for people to show up at the April 15th rallies trying to subvert what is happening. It wouldn't surprise me to see people show up and act like racists Obama haters. They may come with Hitler signs. They may come with signs that suggest violence. They will probably be plants. Don't let them con people into thinking that they are with us. On the other end of the spectrum, expect counter protests. Come with your cameras. Come with your camcorders. Just because you are law-abiding and peaceful, don't expect those on the left to act the same way. Kenneth Gladney found that out.But of course, idiot slob JBW will be blathering, but, b... but ... "both sides do it"!
