PROTESTING OBAMACARE UN-AMERICAN---NANCY PELOSI

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.
Health care is complex. It touches every American life. It drives our economy. People must be allowed to learn the facts.
The first fact is that health insurance reform will mean more patient choice. It will allow every American who likes his or her current plan to keep it. And it will free doctors and patients to make the health decisions that make the most sense, not the most profits for insurance companies.
Reform.

Hope and change a la the Brave New World Gestapo

SOME STATE RUN MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE FAILED TO IDENTIFY CONVICTED CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM JEFFERSON, DEMOCRAT, LOUISIANA, BY HIS PARTY AFFILIATION

CNN has lately joined the State Run Media's effort to not reference Mr. Jefferson's (Democrat, La) party affiliation. We've been seeing a lot of this lately. One network only has, to this date, identified the convicted Jefferson as a card-carrying democrat.

We find, too, that often political miscreants, if Republican, are almost always mentioned in the press by party, liberals have lately not been so identified. John Edwards, for instance, former Vice Presidential candidate, is having more difficulties with his ex girlfriend, but somehow, on some news outlets, his party affiliation is often never mentioned. As though we're too stupid to remember him.

And they wonder why they are not trusted by ordinary citizens.

THE MEDIA'S SICKENING DOUBLE STANDARD

I'm still laughing.

Recently, some wag painted a Joker face over a photp of the Annointed One causing a crescendo of howls and outrage from left-wing pundits, moronic left-wing blog sites, and the usual suspects--the cable TV websites of political infamy. FOX excepted, of course. If I were the artist of this Obama Joker Face, I would hide in the tall grass until this blows over--if ever.

I've always said that Beltway libs have absolutely no sense of humor or sense of proportion or sense of decency, and now I must add to that list, very short memories.

For instance, during the Bush years Vanity Fair once ran a picture of President Bush in Joker face. It was a bit shocking. But I do not remember one remonstrance over the publishing of this picture from any democrat or pundit or network flack, not ever.

As I say, just another example of the liberal media's many political double standards.

Again. just saying.
