Obama Hits NYC to Court Angry Racist Vote

I hope you suckers in New York City don't mind all that gridlock traffic during rush hour this afternoon while your president comes to Manhattan to kiss the ring of racial arsonist Al Sharpton.

President Obama is making his second visit to the city in as many weeks - and is calling upon an unlikely ally to shore up the support of his political base.

An unlikely ally? Huh? How many times have we've seen these two yukking it up together?

Obama will be speaking Wednesday for the first time as commander in chief at the annual convention of the National Action Network and standing with its founder, the Rev. Al Sharpton - whom the President largely ignored before his 2008 election.

The symbolic speech at the Sheraton in midtown - coming just days after the President held two events in Harlem - indicates that Obama, who is battling slipping poll numbers, is trying to bolster his standing among African-Americans, political scientists said.

"It proves again that 2012 will be very different than 2008," said Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia. "Then, Obama was very wary of the race issue and of being labeled as a 'black candidate.'"

"But some of the enthusiasm surrounding that election has faded," said Sabato. "He needs an injection of energy and Sharpton can provide some of that, at least in the black community."

As we noted last week, Sharpton and his NAN owe the feds millions in back taxes.

Civility Update: NY Democrat Avoids Jail for Attacking Photographer

Having that "D" after your name must be great. You can go wild and attack photographers and not have the slightest concern about going to jail. Let alone losing your office and all the perks that come with it. Of course if that were to be the case then you'd just play the race card and menacingly call a Senate colleague a bitch.

You can skip paying your mortgage and when you're exposed as a deadbeat, you then go beat up a photographer.

Now he walks with a small fine. No doubt he's learned his lesson.

State Sen. Kevin Parker was sentenced today to three years probation and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine after a Brooklyn jury found him guilty last year of damaging a Post photographer's camera after the lensman snapped pictures of him outside the politician's Flatbush home.

Parker was also ordered to attend anger management classes and pay The Post back $672 to cover the cost of broken equipment.

Parker was convicted of two misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief in the May 2009 attack and faces up to two years in prison.

In December, the jury cleared Parker of intentionally damaging and attempting to steal William Lopez's camera -- felonies that would have meant automatic expulsion from the Senate had he been convicted.

Maybe Obama can sign him up for his anti-bullying campaign.

Drunken Rangel Aide Has Restaurant Meltdown: 'You're a Disgrace to our Race'

I guess the stress of working for lowlife Charlie Rangel is getting to this guy. That or he's got a really, really bad attitude to begin with. Now what did this charming fellow lose it over? Why, a misplaced umbrella, of course.

Charlie Rangel's deputy chief of staff, Geoffrey Eaton, threw such a fit over a missing umbrella during Thursday night's downpour at Harlem's popular Chez Lucienne restaurant that management had to call police to escort him out.

According to witnesses, Eaton, 52 -- who's also president of the NAACP's Midtown branch -- flew into a rage after a meal alone at the bar of the Lenox Avenue bistro when the staff couldn't find the umbrella he insisted he'd left by the door on his way in.

"He yelled at everyone, even the customers," said the manager on duty, who asked not to be named. "We said, 'We'll give you another umbrella.' Other people offered . . . we said, 'If that's not enough, we'll pay for your cab home.' Because I know him, I let him stay for a while. I talked to him nicely, as I do with all of my customers. We tried to calm him down. I have never seen him that way. Maybe something went a little wrong."

BET.com contributor Bevy Smith, who was dining separately at the bistro, told us, "He cursed out the entire waitstaff, and everyone was trying to appease him. He was like, 'Bleep that, I want a bleeping umbrella, why the bleep can't you find it?' "

"I said, 'Shhhh.' He yells at me, 'Bleep you, and mind your own bleeping business . . . you're a disgrace to our race.' "

After 15 minutes of Eaton's ranting and raving, the manager called cops to escort him out. A source told us employees later found his umbrella in a corner. Eaton was not arrested and left in a huff.

Smith, a former fashion director for Vibe and Rolling Stone, said, "I was appalled that someone who is a president at the NAACP and works with Charlie Rangel could behave like that in a public place and towards women. He was clearly intoxicated."

Congratulations, Democrats: 'This is Ripping Us Apart. It's Sad'

Thanks to union greed and enabled by the Democrats, Barack Obama and the media, we've now got families and friends now hating on each other in Wisconsin. Mission accomplished, Barack!

Milwaukee Public Schools psychologist Jessica Coyle was in tears after reading a cousin's Facebook post calling public employees "whores and a bunch of other nasty things," according to her husband, David, an MPS history teacher. "What made matters worse was that her godmother 'liked' the comment," Coyle told a reporter.

"My wife sent a message to say, 'Hey, remember me, your family member, I am a public employee and I am not a whore.' Her intention was for the cousin to say, 'Oops, sorry, I forgot,' or something along those lines. He didn't. He only said, 'That is how I feel, you can defriend me if you want.' "

The couple couldn't believe how the governor's proposed budget-repair bill was playing out in the virtual community of Facebook, David Coyle said. "We thought that blood was thicker than water. Guess not."

Intensely personal, divisive debates have taken over Facebook in recent weeks, with paychecks, pensions and union rights on the line. The social graces and filtering of opinions that normally temper face-to-face conversations don't necessarily apply to Facebook, where comments can be deleted and friends can be "unfriended" or "hidden" if they cross the line of civility.

Friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers linger in cyber communities at all hours of the day and night, sharing links to opinion pieces, videos, newspaper articles and their own blogs to inform the conversation and persuade others to agree with them.

When Democratic senators fled Wisconsin to stall the vote on Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill a week ago, Daryle Wooley of Elkhorn posted on Facebook that the senators should either return or be fired. "Democracy is 24-7; not just when it's something you're in favor of," he wrote.

Within hours, responses came flooding in from Facebook friends around the country, "including some people who were very close to me," Wooley recalled. "I couldn't believe the tone."

He responded to critics, explaining that he had to cash in his IRA and take out a second mortgage on his house just to keep his cast limestone manufacturing business afloat. He told them: "This is the real world. You don't understand pain. If my wife wouldn't have gotten a new job, my health insurance would have gone away. I'm down from 33 employees to three."

Several private e-mail conversations defused the conflict with Facebook friends, but he won't forget it, he said.

"Three weeks ago, we were all one happy family with the Packers," Wooley said. "And now we're all at each other's throats. This is ripping us apart. It's sad."

Indeed, it is sad. So much for Barack Obama, The Great Uniter.

"Facebook is scary," said Lobacz, who works in the health care industry. "I don't think I've ever seen anything as polarizing as this on Facebook, and it's gotten ugly. . . .  I completely feel everyone should have a right to voice an opinion, but when you stoop to calling people 'stupid' and question their education level, that crosses the line," she said.

"This is such a hot-button issue, people have lost all civility," said Lobacz, of Waukesha. "They've forgotten how to be nice. The protesters in Madison have been more polite than my Facebook friends."

The left lost all civility decades ago. After pretending they wanted civility following the Arizona shootings in early January, we've seen and endless orgy of hate coming from their side. Had the right and tea party members been one-hundredth as uncivil we'd be seeing video running 24/7 on the networks. Instead, the violence and uncivil behavior of union thugs around the nation is largely ignored. That merely feeds the beast. That's what they want. And as we now enter an 18-month presidential campaign cycle, it'll only becomes worse.

A lot worse.

As if you needed a reminder:



And now even more civility.



Try and grasp the arrogance and ignorance on display in that video. There's just no reaching these people.

Dem Congressman: Hey, Sorry for Inciting My Thug Union Supporters to Violence

A little too late now considering the thugs haven't clearly gotten the message and are already beating up on women. Maybe these thugs should think twice before the speak. Then again, he's a Democrat so the national media won't bother to make any mention of this.

U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano expressed regret Wednesday for his choice of words at a Tuesday rally to support Wisconsin workers, after national and local Republicans pounced on him for “over-the-top and inflammatory rhetoric.”

“Congressman Mike Capuano must have lost the memo from President Obama and Democratic leaders who were demanding more civility in our political discourse and a toning down of incendiary rhetoric after the massacre in Tucson on January 8,” the Massachusetts Republican Party wrote in a Wednesday statement. “Yesterday, at a rally on Beacon Hill, Capuano couldn’t resist the urge to stir up a crowd of union members with a call for blood in the pursuit and protection of their political agenda.”

During the Tuesday rally – a gathering of more than 1,000 union supporters protesting a proposal by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to diminish the collective bargaining rights of public sector workers in that state – Capuano, speaking in front of the State House, fired up the crowd by saying, “I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.”

After Republicans took aim at his rhetoric, Capuano issued a statement expressing regret for his language, although at the time it drew wild applause and cheers from the throngs of union supporters.

“I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech,” he said in a statement. “I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words.”

Capuano also referred to a vastly outnumbered throng of Tea Party counter-protesters as “a couple of nuts in the background who want to take it all away from you,” waving his hand dismissively in their direction. Throughout the three-hour rally, rank-and-file union members traded heated barbs with the Tea Party backers. Some clashes nearly escalated into violence and resulted in police intervention. In one case, a pro-union rallier spit in the face of one of the counter-protesters, who set up camp near the rally.

Just imagine how civil they'd be if they actually took the president's empty words to heart.

Capuano’s comments quickly drew contrasts with the call for a more civil tone in national political rhetoric by President Barack Obama and politicians across the country after a mass shooting in Tucson that injured Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Capuano was reportedly among those who agreed with Obama’s call, telling the Boston Globe in January, “Everybody knows the last couple of years there’s been an intentional increase in the degree of heat in political discourse ... If nothing else good comes out of this, I’m hoping it causes people to reconsider how they deal with things.’’

As they continue to lose support with the public, the violent, angry rhetoric from the Democrats will only increase. Desperation will do that.

This is who they are.

Exhibit #3,876,923 From the Liberals' Civility Memo

I tell you what, that whole argument about civility returning to the political debate in this country is really taking off.

The "Mercury Players Theatre production is about liberal college students who invite some incredibly conservative guests to dinner and then kill them.

This is coming from that wonderful winterland of liberal compassion, Madison, Wisconsin. For those not familiar with Madison, it is like the San Francisco of the Frozen Tundra. You know the same sort of mindset where you are free to say and think anything anything you wish as long as it fits the progressive narrative; otherwise, they have ways of dealing with you. I think it was Ace who pointed out that this is real similar to attitudes in the Middle East where polls say 90% of the people support freedom of religion while at the same time 84% support the execution who anyone who renounces Islam.

It has gotten mundane now to keep pointing out how the left preaches one thing while their actions give proof of their real intentions. They, of course, are given a pass since being a hypocrite, while listed as one of the Seven Deadly Sins for conservatives, is a resume enhancer for liberals.

Funny, offensive, or both? The creative minds behind the Mercury Players Theatre said that they hope that people on all sides of the debate keep talking. Without succumbing to the violence portrayed in "The Last Supper."

Flashback, October 2010 - Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D, I Repeat - *D*): "Put Him Against The Wall and Shoot Him"

This must be the type of "eliminationist rhetoric" that gives Paul Krugman the heebie-jeebies.

Oh but wait - former U.S. Representative Paul Kanjorski is a Democrat. That means this never really happened.

“That Scott down there that’s running for governor of Florida,” Mr. Kanjorski said. “Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him [sic] and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he’s running for governor of Florida. He’s a millionaire and a billionaire. He’s no hero. He’s a damn crook. It’s just we don’t prosecute big crooks."

Nothing to see there. It was just a metaphor!

So Glad For The Era of Post Racial Politics

Well, well, well, what is a Democrat supposed to do when asked about members of his party switching to the Republican party? Why tell them to keep their "white sheets handy for the midnight meetings" of course.


The esteemed elected official might want to remember that the switch to the Republican party in the state really got a boost when two African American gentlemen announced that they were switching parties

Two African-American Democrats on Thursday announced that they were joining the Republican Party.

Hall County Commissioner Ashley Bell and former state executive committee member Andre Walker said the Democratic Party had grown too liberal and they are finding a new home with the Republicans.over a disagreement with what the national Democrat party stood for.

The other gentleman in the video, while obviously appearing nervous at the comment, let it pass. He then later asked State Senator Robert Brown to apologize for making the obvious reference to the KKK and by extension smearing all Republicans.

Today Mr Brown held a mini press briefing where he once again proved that being Democrat means never having to say you're sorry and issued a short statement saying he never made reference to the KKK. Ummm, yeah except for that part about white sheets and midnight meetings. He took no questions and on the way out somebody who was accompanying him apparently knocked a reporter down.

As Brown and his aides left the Macon City Hall chambers, 13WMAZ's Bofta Yimam says a man who arrived and left with Brown knocked down Macon Telegraph photographer Woody Marshall.

Stay classy Dems.

Um, Who are the Hostage Takers?

For all the Democrat blathering about Republicans holding people hostage, they might want to look into the mirror before making any more ransom demands. Especially those in mutiny against Barack Obama.

Watching House Democrats mount the barricades this week and bare their bloody chests in a crusade to raise taxes on the wealthy would be comical if it were not so terrifying.

Carrying all the rage that seethes among angry klepto-liberals, Democrats decided yesterday to simply reject and prevent a vote on the compromise President Obama had reached with Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts for all Americans.

Greedy rich people need to "pay their fair share," they say, as if those workers don't already pay well more than their mathematical share of taxes in this country. And damn the tax cuts for the middle class, they say, if that means that the rich people get the same breaks.

Now, Mr. President, who is holding the struggling middle class hostage for political reasons?

Indeed, and expect a role reversal come January as the Democrats and Obama become the dreaded Party of No looking to stifle Republican legislation and any relief they seek to give taxpayers.

"The White House made a deal and it's emboldened the Republicans," one Democrat whined to the Wall Street Journal -- revealing the depth of his party's delusions.

Uh, not exactly. We had this little thing last month called elections and Republicans picked up a stunning 63 seats in the House.

That is why Republicans are emboldened and that is why Obama is negotiating with them and that is why the best deal you will ever get is the one you just dismissed.

What, exactly, is the strategy of these House Democrats? To let their last act of governance be that they angrily raised taxes on everybody in the middle of a profound recession and high unemployment?

Which is exactly what they want, amazingly enough. Do they believe massive tax hikes on everyone in this economy is going to help them?

As to the left and their media enablers, can we also put an end to this ridiculous claim that anyone is getting a tax cut? Keeping in place the current tax rates that have been on the books since 2001 is not a tax cut. It's the same old, same old. Let's hope the Republicans look to provide more tax relief to the American people. That's the best way to increase revenue and it's worked every time it's been tried.

A Political Party In Total Disarray

Remember all those stories touting the death of the Republican party after the Democrats swept into power first in the 2006 elections in which they took over Congress and installed Pelosi and Reid as their leaders and then in the 2008 elections in which they also gained control of the executive branch? That would be the presidency for those of you with a government education.

Well it seems the real party in disarray and suffering the most from voter backlash against the big political machine is the Democrats. How else to explain this?

An unemployed military veteran who raised no funds and put up no campaign website shocked South Carolina's Democratic Party leadership by capturing the nomination Tuesday to face Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint in November.

With nearly all precincts reporting, Alvin Greene, 32, commanded 59 percent of the vote against 41 percent for former four-term state lawmaker Vic Rawl, 64, who had raised about $186,000 and had to abruptly scrap a late-week fundraiser for the fall.

Just like everybody else I know nothing about this guy. The powers that be in the Democrat political machine offer up the lame excuse that voters may have just voted based on the alphabetic order of the candidates on the ballot.

Look I accuse Democrats all the time of merely voting for the guy with a (D) behind the name because it is the highest grade they got in school, but this is carrying that a little too far. So basically what the Dems are saying is that any name out of the phone book can defeat their chosen nominee. While they are searching for reasons why they are losing elections, and constantly claiming that it is because they are not doing a good enough job of getting their message out, it appears the opposite is true. The message has been delivered and most Americans don't like it.

Maybe these stories of a Democrat blood bath in November aren't as far fetched as I thought.

Democrat Infighting May Make Them Lose Even More Seats Then Predicted

The Democrats are quickly becoming what they accuse the Republicans of. Ever since the election of the Nancy Pelosi-led Democrat Congress in 2006 and the subsequent election of Barack Obama we have been assailed with stories of how the Republican party is in disarray and filled with infighting, while they ignored stories like how the most liberal elements in the Democrats worked to unseat Joseph Lieberman and promoted the most socialist and liberal among their ranks. The Democrat party is also making it abundantly clear that they are not about listening to the average American and instead insist on pandering to about three demographics. Unions, minorities (gay, black, Hispanic), and teachers. A gay, black, illegal alien teacher is their dream candidate.

Well. it is going on in Georgia also. A conservative Democrat incumbent--an oxymoron in itself--is under fire for voting against ObamaCare. Notice how the reporter once again works from the assumption that since a large portion of the district is African-American, that the more liberal Democrat that the Democrat establishment endorse should be able to win this seat.

Still, Center and other party officials in the southern Georgia district say core Democrats, particularly blacks who make up nearly 40 percent of the district's voters, have grown increasingly unhappy with Barrow's conservative tilt.

So how does it feel to be taken for granted? It seems the Dems are all against independent thinkers and just take it for granted that their political plantation dwellers in the black community will remain loyal to their new slave masters in the Democrat party and do what the masters decree. After all the leaders of the Democrat party believe the African-Americans owe them their vote, and they do pass a lot of legislation and do a lot of pandering to the community to buy their votes.

What really has the Democrat political machine upset with Representative Barrow however is his voting against the Democrat Socialist agenda.

However, Barrow's opponent in the July 20 primary, who says the incumbent has betrayed the party by voting too often against its agenda, says she'll be attending the Augusta event Tuesday with campaign materials in-hand.

All of this is prompted by an upcoming visit to this district by Jim Clyburn (Looney Toons-S.C.) who of course is coming to not only support the more liberal candidate but make an obvious pandering visit to the African-American community in the hopes of getting them out to vote in the upcoming primary and to do what the entrenched powers that be in the Beltway political noise machine want.

Barrow will probably win since this district is pretty much Democrat and the Republicans can't seem to mount a credible challenge for this seat, but the fact that Barrow is drawing the heat of the Progressive wing of the Democrat party is about all you can hope for sometimes. The Democrats, however, are approaching this upcoming election cycle apparently with the philosophy that since they are going to lose seats--a lot of seats--they need to make sure that the ones they do hold on to are filled with the most radical leftists they can find. In races which are deemed safe for the Dems they are promoting the most liberal candidate they can find. And by liberal, I mean socialist, communist, anti-capitalism candidate they can.

I will wait patiently for the stories about how infighting in the Democrat party threatens to cause them to lose seats along with the denials that it is their policies that the Americans are upset about. The Democrats, of course, feel it is simply a matter of doing a bad sales job.

More like a snow job.

All Republicans should be running ads showing the Democrats giving a standing ovation to the president of the failed drug state to our south just to remind the people of who the Democrats admire and respect, and Mr. Barrow, even though you are called a conservative Democrat by our left-wing news reporters, you are still a member of the party that engaged in that despicable act.

If they manage to get some of these Grayson clones elected I look forward to nightly newscasts filled with the insane rantings of the soon-to-be minority party. Oh, they are going to lose seats, but they can't lose the crazy.

'We’re Going to Make it Uncomfortable for the Democratic Party'

Gee, if I didn't know any better this almost sounds like a threat, if we were to listen to our media superiors. C'mon, folks, you need to tone down the angry rhetoric.

A congressman from the president’s home state is threatening that he will urge Latino voters to stay home this November if the Democratic Party does not make a concerted effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (Ill.) is arguably President Barack Obama’s biggest Democratic critic in Congress. And he’s not fond of Obama’s top advisers at the White House, either.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) member has strongly criticized the administration’s policy on deportation and questioned its commitment to far-reaching reform.

Some Democrats have felt little urgency in pursuing the controversial issue, partly because they see no risk that Hispanic voters will bolt the party for the GOP. But Gutierrez says they are missing the real political consequence of inaction.

“We can stay home,” Gutierrez said in an interview with The Hill. “We can say, ‘You know what? There is a third option: We can refuse to participate.’ ”

For Gutierrez, a former cab driver first elected to represent Chicago in 1992, the shift from close Obama ally to ornery critic has been stark. The lawmaker was one of the former Illinois senator’s earliest campaign supporters, and — as Gutierrez is quick to note — he stuck by Obama even as many Hispanic leaders rallied around Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

When Gutierrez talks about his old Chicago neighbor, he speaks of “anger, disillusionment, dissatisfaction” and “betrayal.” He says Obama has failed to keep his campaign commitment to immigration reform, and he decries what he calls an “enforcement-only” policy in which the administration has deported more undocumented immigrants than in the final year of the George W. Bush administration.

Why, he must hate undocumented people of color. Oh, and Gutierrez might want to watch it with those code words anger and betrayal. We all know (wink, wink) what those stand for.

Gutierrez says Latinos have lost patience with Obama, and he predicts an “escalation” of activism aimed at forcing immigration reform to the fore of the party agenda.

“We’re going to make it uncomfortable for the Democratic Party,” Gutierrez said, adding that immigration advocates would step up the pressure by drawing lessons from the movements for civil rights and women’s suffrage. “There’ll probably be civil disobedience. There will probably be a number of different actions. What we have to do is we have to break through this wall of silence, because we’re invisible.”

Civil disobedience? Why, that almost sounds seditious!

Thuggish White Plains Mayor Refuses to Resign

Could you imagine the uproar if a Republican assaulted his wife, was accused of witness tampering and suggested his wife hang herself? The cacophony would be deafening. Needless to say he'd have been driven from office in shame. But not this Democrat.

A Westchester County mayor accused of roughing up his wife is fending off resignation demands.

White Plains Mayor Adam Bradley agreed Monday to be evaluated and to take domestic violence classes if they’re recommended.

The majority of the city’s Common Council then called for him to quit. Bradley said he won’t.

He’s pleaded not guilty to assault, witness tampering and other charges.

Fumiko Bradley accused him of throwing a cup of hot tea at her, and slamming a door on her hand.

She later announced she did not want Bradley prosecuted. Court papers say Bradley suggested she hang herself while pressuring her to recant.

To their credit, the Democrats on the Council have suggested Bradley pack his bags and get out.

"Our concern is that the distractions now have reached the level that the question of his ability to function in the role of mayor is there and so for that reason we're calling on him to resign," Common Council president Tom Roach said.

Bradley, however, stood his ground on Monday, lashing out against the council's demands.

"I would like to make clear from the beginning, I am not resigning as mayor of White Plains," Bradley said Monday. "We are all entitled to our day in court. And we all have the right to put our case before the proper authorities."

Bradley is hanging on -- even though the majority of the Common Council wants him out.

"I think he should resign in good faith and allow new leadership to take control of the situation," Lecouna said.

Many wonder how White Plains can solve a huge budget deficit when the mayor is consumed with a domestic violence case.

The Desperation of the Democrats is Almost Laughable

I say almost laughable, but Ms. Whitman might want to look at getting some backup for her intern spokesperson.

When asked for a response to a Socialist Democrat front group supporting gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown she had this to say.

Asked about the new Web page, Whitman's campaign deferred to its intern, Marcheta Marshall, who said, "Looks like these guys are pretty worried about Meg.

"Just like Wikipedia, I'm sure my professors won't even allow me to use it as a source for my term papers. So why does Jerry Brown's silly front group think it's good enough for voters? I know reporters won't be fooled into promoting made-up information on a gossip site."

Honey, I've got news for you. First, this is California and second, fooling the media with made up stories is easier then pulling a prank on an eighth-grader. People actually read blogs to get all the background information that the dinosaur media leaves out, so in that respect, while your professors won't allow them to be used as a source, a whole lot of people swear by them and are more likely to believe something written on a wiki site then they are the New York Times.

The site discloses that "the structure of the project allows anyone with an Internet connection to alter its content," so its creators can't guarantee that what is posted is accurate. Users are asked to cite their sources or identify themselves if they are contributing first-hand information.

Meg might want to check with Sarah Palin to see how not responding to all these outlandish rumors works out.

Well, come to think of it, a lot of those stories about Sarah are started by established media.

'Do You Want a Piece of Me?'

Seems the New York State Senate is turning into a low-brow version of the WWE. Here we have a thug named Kevin Parker, who in 2005 beat up a traffic agent for ticketing him and last year assaulted a New York Post photographer, now physically threatening other members of this esteemed body.

Hotheaded state Sen. Kevin Parker erupted again.

Parker "charged" toward a female colleague Tuesday night during heated, closed-door squabbling over whether to toss Hiram Monserrate from the chamber, Senate sources said.

The Brooklyn Democrat took several steps toward Sen. Diane Savino (D-S.I.) as the two engaged in a profanity-laced argument during the contentious Democratic conference, the sources said.

Parker dropped several "f-bombs" and called Savino "a b----" as she tried to explain why Monserrate could be immediately expelled with Republican votes, the sources said.

Let's play a little role reversal here for a minute. How do you think a white man would be treated if he called a black woman a bitch and tossed the f-bomb her way?

An enraged Parker, who opposed Monserrate's ouster, "went a little ballistic, swearing and screaming that the Republicans have no right to dictate what goes on in our house," one senator said.

Three Monserrate supporters - Sens. Eric Adams (D-Brooklyn), Ruben Diaz Sr. (D-Bronx) and Carl Kruger (D-Brooklyn) - started yelling and egging Parker on, several sources said.

When Savino told Parker to stop interrupting her, Parker is said to have yelled, "F--k you!"

Savino responded in kind and Parker stormed at her, the source said.

Senate Deputy Majority Leader Jeffrey Klein (D-Bronx) jumped up and told Parker not to scream at Savino that way, the sources said.

Parker then swore at Klein and asked, "Do you want a piece of me?"

"If that's what it takes to stop this," Klein responded, the sources said.

I guess Parker is a bit touchy about his fellow Democrats getting booted from office.

Parker, known for his explosive temper, is under indictment for assaulting a news photographer. He faces automatic expulsion if convicted of a felony.

In 2005, he was charged with punching a traffic agent and was ordered to undergo anger management counseling.

I'm assuming he flunked out of his anger management classes.

Parker is also quite fond of Governor David Paterson.

Democrats blasted the governor for keeping them in Albany day after day and hot-headed Sen. Kevin Parker called Paterson a "coke snorting, staff-banging governor." Paterson has admitted youthful drug use and several extra-marital affairs

Desperate Dems Still Running Against Bush: 'It Will Be a Failed Strategy'

Well, it's not as if they have any accomplishments of Obama's to point to and considering how they're losing both of these races, is it any surprise they're going back to the bash Bush playbook?

Sure, it reeks of desperation, but what else have they got?

Facing the increasing likelihood of losses in the 2010 midterm congressional and gubernatorial elections, President Obama and his fellow Democrats are returning to a tried-and-true campaign strategy — run against former President George W. Bush.

In speech after speech since taking office, Mr. Obama has pointed back to the problems he inherited from the Bush administration when he took office. And earlier this month, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine catalogued a slew of perceived Bush failures to the delight of supporters.

Already, Democratic gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey are testing the strategy — so far, however, unsuccessfully.

"It will be a failed strategy," said Karl Rove, former senior political adviser to Mr. Bush. "They have been doing that very intentionally in New Jersey and Virginia thus far, and both their candidates are behind."

As a New Jersey resident I cannot come up with a single significant accomplishment of Jon Corzine's outside of surviving his stint as a crash-test dummy a couple of years ago.

Corzine is already playing the abortion card, a tried-and-true staple in New Jersey, along with bashing gun owners. I expect those ads to be rolled out before long.

He has nothing else.

Joe Biden admitted yesterday it's game over if they lose big in 2010.

They're running scared.

Cue up the Democrat theme song:

Obamamedia Goes on HealthScare Offensive

Good grief, it's as if this supposedly objective news item were written by the White House.

Talk about state-run media.

President Obama plans to switch to the offensive on health care this week.

Stung by right-wing shout attacks, the popular President will barnstorm to rally support for his reform plan.

"People are saying crazy things right now," White House health care spokeswoman Linda Douglass said Sunday.

"Trying to discuss [it] in a civil way right now is extremely important for people's lives," she said on CNN's "Reliable Sources."

Is calling us un-American civil, Linda?

As for Obama being popular, has Daily News hack Kenneth Bazinet seen any polls lately?

But wait, there's still more Democrat talking points to regurgitate.

The White House is urging Democrats to hold town halls to counter the loud crowds mobilized by right-wing talk radio.

Obama's political operatives claim an upside to the screaming mobs at town halls is that crucial independent voters are turned off by the tactic. "They didn't like what they were hearing," an insider said.

Oh, really?

For one short "news" story it's amazing how many Obama/DNC talking points were jammed in there: Screaming mobs, right-wing talk radio, crazy, shout attacks and, most laughably, that Obama is still popular.

Media bias? What media bias?

Update: Should the Daily News White House stenographer need some help, maybe he can look at this report chock full of screaming mobs and shout attacks.

Minnesota Democrats Let The Mask Slip

The Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor Party let the mask slip yesterday after they issued a press release that included a You Tube video showing a Chinese lady learning how to speech profanity in English. I am only linking the original video since it is NSFW (Not Safe For Work).

The press release was sent out to challenge Governor Pawlenty over comments he made that were critical of "The One" at a recent RNC meeting. I love how the Dems are running so scared from undeclared potential Republican presidential candidates after only six months of the current Dear Leaders term.

Anybody who browses liberal web sites and blogs of course will not be surprised that they would use something which relies on a juvenile form of humor and think unrestrained profanity is cute since most of the posts and comments on those type of sites rely heavily on it. They continually ridicule conservatives as belonging to an inferior class and insist they are a life form somewhere just above an amoeba on the evolutionary scale, and yet they, the liberals, resort to lowest form of debate in their arguments.

Angry Democrat: Hey, How About a Little Jack Bauer Justice For Me?

This morning we noted New York State Senator Kevin Parker's angry attack on a New York Post photographer and now he's looking for some preferential treatment, whining that actor Kiefer Sutherland got easier treatment than he did.

Violence-prone State Sen. Kevin Parker wants the star treatment.

A lawyer for the senator, who was arrested last night for attacking a Post photographer, complained that television star Kiefer Sutherland got softer handling after he allegedly head-butted a fashion designer Monday.

"Kiefer Sutherland broke someone's nose and got a desk appearance ticket," said lawyer Lonnie Hart. "He was able to surrender himself and walk out a few hours later."

Parker - who was charged with a felony, while Sutherland was charged with a misdemeanor -- spent the night in jail after he allegedly chased Post photographer Willy Lopez around the block then crawled into Lopez's car in an attempt to wrest the camera away.

Parker managed to kick the door panel off Lopez's Suburu and broke his $400 flash into pieces before he calmed down, said Lopez.

Can't be long until Parker plays the race card. In the meantime, he might want to consider some more anger management classes.

Parker was forced to take anger management classes after he punched a traffic agent who attempted to ticket him for double parking in the head four years ago.

A former aide also accused him of manhandling her and crushing her glasses under foot during a heated argument last year. She pressed charges but no arrest was made.

When asked if his rage should prevent Parker from holding public office any longer, Hart said: "The facts are what they are. People can draw their own conclusions."

Meanwhile, Parker has been stripped of his leadership position.

Parker's leadership lulu is $22,000. Lawmakers are only allowed one lulu each, so he doesn't get a stipend for the committee chairmanship.

For the record, Smith acted more quickly in Parker's case than he moved in deciding the fate of Sen. Hiram Monserrate after his arrest and felony assault charge.

Monserrate was arrested in December 2008 - while he was still techincally a member of the City Council and several weeks before he was sworn in as a senator.

Smith, under pressure to make a decision about Monserrate, didn't act until the second week in January - after the vote that decided his leadership status, for which he very much needed Monserrate's support.
