If I fail to credit anyone, my apologies.
VERNUCCIO: Labor’s new strategy: Intimidation for dummies - Pressure manual advocates bullying of employers and their families Emphasis mine, of course.
"In the past decade, unions have become increasingly desperate to obtain new dues-paying members. An example of how desperate can be found in a 70-plus-page intimidation manual from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which only recently came to light in a pending court case."
"SEIU recommends going after company officials personally. Not mincing words, SEIU states, 'It may be a violation of blackmail and extortion laws to threaten management officials with release of ‘dirt’ about them if they don’t settle a contract. But there is no law against union members [...] deciding to uncover and publicize factual information [...]'
The 'dirt' includes charges [charges are accusations, not fact] such as 'racism, sexism, exploitation of immigrants or proposals that would take money out of the community for the benefits of distant stockholders.'"
"In some areas, the manual blatantly advises breaking the law,"
A national group's manual advocating lawlessness. That's a nearly open and shut RICO case waiting to be prosecuted. Unfortunately our racist, lawless Attorney General Eric Holder under this racist, lawless administration will never look into it. Equally as unfortunate too many Republicans are Ruling Class and/or cowards and won't pursue it either.
O’Keefe’s latest sting target: Medicaid bureaucrats "Once again, O’Keefe and his team pose as criminals seeking assistance in getting government money to support their businesses"
"The first video in the series shows government employees in Ohio assisting two men who have described themselves as Russian drug smugglers with applications for Medicaid.
In the video, the men explain to Ohio Medicaid workers that they are Russian immigrants who sell illegal drugs, drive a modified McLaren F1 sports car with a gold-coated engine, and use their underage sisters to perform sexual favors in exchange for drugs.
In response, Ohio employees tasked with disbursing federal Medicaid dollars are shown coaching the men through the process"
Laura Ingraham Airs Scary ‘Obama Remix’ of Jimmy Carter‘s ’Malaise’ SpeechThis is really worth a listen. It brilliantly puts Carter and Obama side by side in their own words. It's eerie. If Liberals were capable of it this should wake them up.
A member of the GOP saying what needs to be said HOW it needs to be said.
Quit Lying "Rep Joe Walsh (R-IL) has a message for the Manchurian Moonbat that needs to be heard loudly and clearly from all of us - quit lying:"
It is well past time to stop playing diplomatic games and showing respect for those who show no respect for others. The sooner and more often it is truthfully declared that this President IS a liar, the more people will begin to accept the idea.
Towards More South Park Conservatives"This powerful statement adds to my sense of urgency to find strategies for appealing to young Americans with conservative principles while their partisan loyalties are still forming."
"While young Americans won’t easily relate to traditional GOP heroes, there are some appealing, contemporary characters whose personal convictions have matured to conservative creeds. I urge the following celebrities to increase their public voice in politics for America’s under-40 population:"
Read Bono's... that's right, BONO's comment. It is a distinctly American comment. Maybe he is going the way of Lennon and has begun to awaken.
Adam Corolla's is after the cut. Holy moly! My respect for him just shot through the roof.
"But, his blunt commentary on fiscal matters would certainly make a tea party animal smile. For example, 'Your [bleep]ing idea of taking more of my money and giving it to people and lowering their self esteem and making them feel less energetic and less likely to work is a [bleep]ing horrible idea. That’s why we have this problem in the first place. ... That’s how you [bleep] them up more, you condescending [bleep] suckers. ... Whoever works the hardest is going to do the best. Do not take money away from those that work the hardest and give it to the people who don’t feel like working. ... Those [bleep]ing people are too weak and they just buy into the [bleep] that the Democrats are spoon feeding them and go, ‘Yeah, that’s right. How ‘bout we spread around the wealth?’ Listen, there’s going to be no wealth to spread around. Get off your [bleep]ing ass and work. And, by the way, you ain’t gonna be happy just by me giving you some of my money. That’s not going to magically make you happy. You think the key to happiness is the car or the house? The key to happiness is the satisfaction and peace of mind of knowing that you busted your ass to get that house; not getting your man in office so he could give you some of my money for me busting my ass.' Perfectly clear message for a set of white earbuds."
Numbers Don't Lie: 'Daily Show's' Stewart Hammers Right Nearly Four Times More than Left "It was contentious and dramatic. On Sunday, June 19, 'Fox News Sunday' host Chris Wallace grilled funnyman Jon Stewart on his obvious liberal bias and Stewart replied, '… there is not a designed ideological agenda on my part to affect partisan change ...'
The exchange got heated when Stewart held that line, telling Wallace, 'You can’t understand, because of the world you live in"
Yet again an obviously angry Liberal explains how YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT IS YOU WHO ARE UNREASONABLE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THE TRUTH OF THEIR FAIRNESS. There is only one problem, the same one as always...
"Well, 'designed' or not, Comedy Central’s 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' mocks the right far more than it does the left, and a survey of the 16 broadcasts since the Wallace-Stewart run-in proves it."
It's a relatively long piece worth the read. After this cut is one bit that is my biggest pet peeve about the cowardice and lies of Jon Stewart and his Leftist defenders.
This is part of the slimy, offensive deceit of the Left that really sets me off.
"Stewart managed to include a few light jabs at those on the left, but the 'hits' only accounted for 6.6 percent of his total broadcast time. The 'mocking' consisted of poking fun at the former governor Rod Blagojevich’s lyrical choice prior to his court appearance, and MSNBC’s editorial choice to leave Willie Geist in the shot when TIME Magazine’s Mark Halperin apologized for saying the president 'acted like a d**k.'
A whopping 30 percent of the combined attacks on the Left were found in one segment in which Stewart made fun of Blagojevich for quoting Elvis [...] Stewart mocked an editorial decision by MSNBC producers, simply because it ridiculed the left-leaning network. Stewart pointed out that when Halperin apologized for his inappropriate remark about the president on MSNBC’s 'Morning Joe,' MSNBC contributor Willie Geist was in the camera’s view during the apology.
'What you didn’t know was that his apology would be chaperoned by show regular Willie Geist’s disapproving glare,' Stewart said. '…Seriously, why is he in this shot? You can’t grab a one shot?'
The 132 second, light-hearted segment was 15 percent of the hits that Stewart delivered to the Left during those three weeks of broadcast time on 'the Daily Show.'"
This is what enrages me about the cowards and liars who defend The Daily Show and pretend it isn't hard core Leftist propaganda. Even when The Daily Show manages to criticize the Left at all, what they are more often than not doing is obviously "poking fun" at their obvious allies. They do that while they are clearly demonizing and mercilessly mocking all non-Liberals.
"Kill by laughter. Laughter is an instrument of human joy. Learn to use it as a weapon of destruction. Turn it into a sneer. It's simple. Tell them to laugh at virtue. Don't let anything remain sacred in a man's soul - and his soul won't be sacred to him. Kill reverence and you've killed the hero in man" - Ellsworth Toohey from The Fountainhead
The real world villain Saul Alinsky said similar. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."
That is exactly what Stewart and his 40 writers do every weekday.
Then he has the audacity to argue that his show "is not a designed ideological agenda"!
It's blatant to anyone paying attention. Unfortunately too many, including even those who aren't sheep to the cult of the Left are blind to it. After all, it's just harmless comedy, right?
Hm. Maybe I should make this rant a solo post.
So even when they do pick on the Left, which is far less than the right, it's with a wink and nudge or a critique of the presentation. Stewart is an ideologue, a coward and a liar, as are his defenders.
