1 Cops: Baby-daddy hit averted (Philadelphia Daily News) You can do it all on Facebook - post photos, catch up with old friends and, apparently, arrange for someone to whack your child's father. Cops say that that's exactly what London Eley of Southwest Philadelphia did on May 23, after she had a heated argument with Corey Jerome White, her baby's father. Eley, 20, offered "a stack" - street slang for $1,000 - to anyone who would kill White, said Lt. John Walker of Southwest Detectives. She quickly found a taker in Tim Bynum, 18, of Darby, Walker said.

Bachmann raised her profile, probably 'wins' by virtue of getting the most attention.  Mitt does well by virtue of having no gaffes or anything to make him look bad.  Pawlenty probably had the highest expectations and doesn't meet them.  Doesn't flounder, but he takes a hit.

Gingrich is good in this format but not good enough to overcome his baggage.  Everybody else makes no splash.

Activists cry foul over FBI probe
 
By Peter Wallsten, Published: June 13

CHICAGO — FBI agents took box after box of address books, family calendars, artwork and personal letters in their 10-hour raid in September of the century-old house shared by Stephanie Weiner and her husband.

The agents seemed keenly interested in Weiner’s home-based business, the Revolutionary Lemonade Stand, which sells silkscreened infant bodysuits and other clothes with socialist slogans, phrases like “Help Wanted: Revolutionaries.”

The search was part of a mysterious, ongoing nationwide terrorism investigation with an unusual target: prominent peace activists and politically active labor organizers.

Bwhahaha!  From Mediate:

Chris Matthews interviewed two guests about the ongoing Anthony Weiner controversy, yet the most interesting moment by far came when Matthews couldnÂ’t hide his bewilderment as to why Eliot Spitzer, an up-close veteran of political sex scandals, was on television talking about Weiner. And Matthews seemed comically offended that WeinerÂ’s only future career path might similarly be a job in television. Speaking with Democratic Congressman James Clyburn, Matthews warned Clyburn that even if the Democratic leadership tries to keep Weiner from speaking out on issues, there are certain news channels that welcome survivors of political sex scandals:

“I hate to break it to you, but some other network can put Eliot Spitzer on television. . . . That was ludicrous that he’s even talking about this case.”
Spitzer hasnÂ’t shied away from the story, and has even been confronted about his own similar past troubles. Yet Matthews wasnÂ’t quite done discussing the absurdity of Spitzer being on television. Later in the segment, after Alex Wagner suggested Weiner might be able to rehabilitate himself and find a second career in media, Matthews very humorously ranted:
“Thanks. What are we – are we the elephant’s graveyard? Is this where they come? I mean is this Spitzerville? I mean does everybody come over here when they have a problem? We have some bad precedents operating lately in this business . . . with all due respect Governor Spitzer . . . I would recuse myself from some of these topics, if I were him. But I’m not a media critic.”

11 Turned on Fox this morning. Highlights from debate? Of course not. Lets put on tired old Gibbs to lie about Obama some more.

First thing I did after I got up. Put the flag up today. And Happy Birthday Army!

13 BTW Morons, Gibbs admits economy is shit, but it is STILL Bush's fault.

14 Fox now attacking T-Paw for not attacking Romney????

WTF is it with these idiots?

15 The Democrats are still the Party of Wiener.

16 We can see what the meme is from Fox. Put T-Paw and Romney on and attack T-Paw. He is slightly more conservative than Romney.

Plus: there were a lot of empty seats:

Granted, it was a fundraiser, not a free rally. But the empty seats were hard to miss.

The top level of the 2,200-seat concert hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts was entirely empty, as were the seats along the side of the second and third levels.

"The expectation was 900," a Democratic official said, and more than 980 tickets were sold.

Tickets for the Gen 44 event started at $44, the official said.

"This is going to be a very tough fight," said Alonzo Mourning, the former Miami Heat player, who spoke ahead of the president. Once Obama took the stage, a protester interrupted him at one point, repeatedly yelling: "Keep your promise, stop AIDS now." But the protester was quickly drowned out by the audience chanting, "Obama, Obama, Obama."

24 Well CNN is pushing Romney as well. But they do get in a little plug for Bachmann and her "23 kids".

"If you talk to any single reporter at any media organization that we're aware of, I don't think that anyone thinks she can be president or should be president."

33 "All 23 of the activists invoked their right not to testify before a grand jury, defying U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, whose office is spearheading the investigation."

byw, page 2 WaPo attributes the root of this FBI investigation to St. Paul protesters of the '08 RNC convention, and is meant to test the SCOTUS '10 ruling opening the field of investigation/indictments against fundraisers with international links to search for anything (mentioned or not in warrants).

There is no comfort from tit for tat right/left FBI targets as our Bill of Rights are trashed with the best of intentions for our own good. Evidently, these grassroots and union targets knew Obama from Chicago. So are they Obama's scapegoats, offered up to provide distracting media cover for Ayers, Obama, Raum, Axelrod, or even Holder?

Was the baby bib silk screening self employed mom evading her taxes? How many baby bibs does it take to supposedly finance international terrorists? It takes the FBI to investigate small business enterprises for the IRS?

34 DNC Chair: N.H. Debate Highlighted Republicans' 'Extreme Policies'

“TonightÂ’s Republican debate was a reminder that weÂ’ve been down this road of failed economic policies and proposals before.  The economic recession in America wasnÂ’t caused by bad luck; it was caused by bad Republican policies.  But the Republican candidates are doubling down on the same flawed policies that led to the loss of 3.6 million jobs in the final months of 2008 and gravely affected middle class families across America.

“And if those policies weren't bad enough, we heard support tonight for policies as extreme as ending Medicare and privatizing Social Security - policies the American people have rejected over and over again.

“The debate tonight put into stark relief the contrast between the Republican presidential candidates and President Obama. Republicans want to roll back the protections President Obama put in place to make sure another financial crisis of the magnitude we saw in 2008 could not happen again. President Obama is making the tough decisions to get our country going in the right direction, has taken our economy from job losses to 15 straight months of job gains, cut taxes 26 times, and focused like a laser on getting the middle class back on its feet while those campaigning to replace him have failed to show they can lead on these issues.

And O'Reilly is NEVER right about anything.

51 Shit you didn't know about Panetta:


Will the Senate Pick Anti-Defense CIA Chief with Red Ties as SecDef?; More Damaging Disclosures about Leon Panetta

“Panetta opposed President Reagan’s military build-up in the 1980s, which was a decisive factor in the ultimate fall of Soviet-style communism, and he was on the side of the communists in Central America,” they said in a joint statement. “There is every reason to believe, based on his public record, that he will cut major weapons systems and even military personnel as defense secretary, putting the U.S. into a weak international position vis-à-vis China and radical Islamists in the critical years ahead.”

Loudon and Kincaid point to disturbing evidence of PanettaÂ’s long-time friendly relationship with identified Communist Party figure Hugh DeLacy, who had ties to identified communist spies Solomon Adler and Frank Coe and accused spy John Stewart Service. The evidence shows that, in addition to his friendly ties to communist spies, DeLacy had traveled to Communist China and Sandinista Nicaragua in support of those regimes.

Hugh DeLacy, 1940s

This evidence – and more – is contained in the “Hugh DeLacy Papers” reviewed and obtained by Loudon during a fact-finding trip to the University of Washington, where the material is stored. Kincaid reviewed evidence of DeLacy’s communist background in hearings conducted on “Communist Political Subversion” by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities and “Un-American Activities in California” by the California Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities. It is not apparent that any of this material has been obtained or reviewed by the Senate or the FBI.

So I'm guessing y'all have heard about the Gay Girl in Damascus blogger hoax?  Turns out the Syrian lesbian is in fact a 40-year-old married, male American college student (ugh) living in Scotland.  He made up the blog profile to raise awareness or something; who knows how lefties justify their parochial world view.

Anyway, today it gets even BETTER.  See, there's ANOTHER lesbian blogger, who goes by the name Paula Brooks, who edits the site "Lez Get Real."  The problem, of course, is that Paula Brooks is not a lesbian.  Paula Brooks is, in fact, Bill Graber.

Yes, ANOTHER man pretending to be a lesbian to "raise awareness" or whatever.

But the BEST part?  The absolute BEST part?  "Gay Girl in Damascus" faker and "Lez Get Real" hoaxter had actually communicated with each other via email and the like, neither realizing they were both heterosexual men, and had actually flirted with each other.

That's a double bluff blindside of schadenfreud.

And that's the "civilized" version from the Egyptian Muslim coerced conversion to Islam accompanying their sex and human slavery, as if to paint forced marriages like a pig with lipstick wearing "compassionate mercy".

Anti-semitism gets a shrug and a brush off at the University of Toronto.  Me not being shockd in 5... 4... 3...

Anti-Semitism and a Classroom 'Jew Count' at University of Toronto's Social Work Faculty

“I was flabbergasted” Chambon disclosed. “[Professor Bhuyan] told me ‘racializedÂ’ students come from underprivileged backgrounds and were justified in not wanting to be around old Jews because they are rich and would make them uneasy.  I couldnÂ’t believe my ears.  I took some paper and wrote down what she said in front of her.  Bhuyan then said the donor plaques at the university were all from rich Jews, which she felt proved her point. Aside from being factually wrong, it reflects an attitude that polarizes groups and reinforces stereotypes that do not belong in the teaching of Social Work.”

Jew counts?  Jew baiting?  Jew slurs?  Gosh, it's like 1930's Germany all over again!  What fun!

These incidents have aroused strong suspicion that “Amanda Marcotte” is actually a fictional character created by Ace of Spades.

Whichever of you it is, come clean.  We all know what happens when you wait too long to change your socks.

82 Bill O'Reilly is like an annoying, old, and abusive version of Don Imus.

83 The Army is finally getting rid of the black beret for wear with ACUs.  It will now only be worn with the Class As.  Personally, I think the army should go to tricorne caps for wear with dress blues.

84 momma #65, I'm not surprised.

I always liked this lesson in value: "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on." (Mark 12:41-44, Luke 21:1-4)

Romney proved he has fat cat sponsors of his campaign with his "miraculous" initial '12 fundraising sum.

Time will tell over the long haul which way the crow flies. There's room to argue given the current economic depression, whether voters are so easily bought by big spenders (who promise anything for a vote); or whether voters eschew big spending in this campaign power grab over our lives, resenting the Ivy Beleaguering elitism.

85

Well Bachmann did do something good yesterday even if she didn't fire Ed Rollins

Bachmann called for limiting government’s scope by passing the “mother of all repeal bills” to target “job-killing regulations.”

“And I would begin with the EPA, because there is no other agency like the EPA. It should really be renamed the job-killing organization of America,” she said, according to a CNN transcript of the debate.

97 The fact is anyone of those six( not seven iykwim) are one hundred times better than Obama or any other Dem.

98 No bias in this stupid debate. How about this outrageous lie by the CNN moderator when he was "asking a question":

Governor Pawlenty, answer the critics — and as you do so — who say 5 percent every year is just unrealistic.  And as you do so, whereÂ’s the proof — whereÂ’s the proof that just cutting taxes will create jobs?  If that were true, why during the Bush years, after the big tax cut, where were the jobs?

Try up your lying ass you shit-weasel. What was the unemployment rate during the Bush years even after he inherited a recession? What is it now?  What is the real unemployment rate now?

Try > 20% shit-for-brains

And no that wasn't T-paw's response. It should have been though.

99 and if 4 or 5 more folks enter the next debate we are going to have a chorus up there.  they are going to blend great and sound great and people will find themselves saying "but where is the leader"

100 CNBc doing a segment, more than a quarter of homeowners are underwater.  That is not good and it could be getting worse.

101 this is great  there is going to be a big nontroversy about missing emails now.  Could not have come at a better time.

102 Romney's response to healthcare question:KING:  Governor Romney, just yesterday, Governor Pawlenty, who is to your left on the stage tonight, called your Massachusetts plan, which you know has become a focal point of the criticism in this campaign from your friends here, Obamneycare, Obamneycare.  Is that a fair comparison?

ROMNEY:  You know, let me say a couple things.  First, if IÂ’m elected president, I will repeal Obamacare, just as Michelle indicated.  And also, on my first day in office, if IÂ’m lucky enough to have that office, I will grant a waiver to all 50 states from Obamacare.

Now, thereÂ’s some similarities and there are some big differences.

Obamacare spends a trillion dollars.  If it were perfect — and itÂ’s not perfect, itÂ’s terrible — we canÂ’t afford more federal spending.

Secondly, it raises $500 billion in taxes.  We didnÂ’t raise taxes in Massachusetts .

Third, Obamacare takes $500 billion out of Medicare and funds Obamacare.  We, of course, didnÂ’t do that.

And, finally, ours was a state plan, a state solution, and if people donÂ’t like it in our state, they can change it.  ThatÂ’s the nature of why states are the right place for this type of responsibility.  And thatÂ’s why I introduced a plan to repeal Obamacare and replace it with a state-centric program.

Utter fail, get rid of Obamacare and replace it with a State plant that does the same damn thing.

The refusal of the IMF to announce it's suspicions concerning the origin of the theft of extremely sensitive data, potential market moving data, is of great concern. Have we so soon reached the point where we shall be cowered into silence and inaction lest we become victims individually and collectively?

106 So beck has translated the federalist papers.  Now that is sad, just so sad.

I mean it's like teaching Shakespeare using the comic books.

107 In the debate Bachmann hits a home run here on TARP:

And I fought behind closed doors against my own party on TARP. It was a wrong vote then. ItÂ’s continued to be a wrong vote since then. Sometimes thatÂ’s what you have to do. You have to take principle over your party.

108 Boehner praises Bachmann, calls for Weiner's resignation:

"I think she did a really good job last night," Boehner said when asked about Bachmann's performance in the CNN debate. "I think she is a bright member of our caucus. It's one of the reasons why I appointed her to the intelligence committee."

109 hahahahha, Eye of Newt tries to walk back his attack on the Ryan budget with the age old excuse; "out of context"

GINGRICH: Well, first of all, it was a very narrow question, which said, should Republicans impose an unpopular bill on the American people? Now, I supported the Ryan budget as a general proposal. I actually wrote a newsletter supporting the Ryan budget. And those words were taken totally out of context.

How in the shit is "right-wing social engineering" out of context Newt?  I guess sitting on the couch with Pelosi is out of context as well.

110 Well after reading the first two parts of this "debate" I can tell one thing for certain.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD NEVER LET CNN MODERATE A DEBATE

ever.

111 I guess Newt is so damned smart he just outfoxes himself.

112 Debbie Wasserman-Shultz releases statement on last night's debate

I especially rolled my eyes at the part about Obama making tough decisions.

113 Cain does a good job of schooling the MFM on his statement about Muslims:

While we’re on the topic of faith and religion, the next question goes to Mr. Cain. You recently said you would not appoint a Muslim to your cabinet and you kind of back off that a little bit and said you would first want to know if they’re committed to the Constitution. You expressed concern that, quote, “a lot of Muslims are not totally dedicated to this country.”

Are American-Muslims as a group less committed to the Constitution than, say, Christian or Jews?

CAIN: First, the statement was would I be comfortable with a Muslim in my administration, not that I wouldnÂ’t appoint one. ThatÂ’s the exact transcript.

And I would not be comfortable because you have peaceful Muslims and then you have militant Muslims, those that are trying to kill us.

And so, when I said I wouldnÂ’t be comfortable, I was thinking about the ones that are trying to kill us, number one.

Secondly, yes, I do not believe in Sharia law in American courts. I believe in American laws in American courts, period. There have been instances -

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

CAIN: There have been instances in New Jersey — there was an instance in Oklahoma where Muslims did try to influence court decisions with Sharia law. I was simply saying very emphatically, American laws in American courts.

114 113 CAIN: There have been instances in New Jersey — there was an instance in Oklahoma where Muslims did try to influence court decisions with Sharia law. I was simply saying very emphatically, American laws in American courts.

Immediately afterwards, Romney said we would never see Sharia law influencing US courts.

115 Yeah:

ROMNEY: Well, first of all, of course, weÂ’re not going to have Sharia law applied in U.S. courts. ThatÂ’s never going to happen. We have a Constitution and we follow the law.

I have some news for you idiot; it already has.

I made it down to half way through the 4th part and I just couldn't take it anymore. The CNN idiot mostly debated with himself.

Repubs - no more CNN debates!

116 I'm sure the MFM will score Romney high on these debates but I think he deposited a load in his pants.

His attempted walk-back of Romneycare was total fail and most of his other answers on big gov type stuff was shit. I also note that CNN failed to ask a single damn question over the AGW scam.

All in all, I think Bachmann came out the best. Her answer on right-to-life was probably the best I have ever seen on that question.

117 Ben, did you see the Blaze story about FEMA denying funds to tornado homes for 'insufficient damage'?

119 #114 That was grossly obvious, and it wasn't Romney's only big fail last night.

Someone deserves to profit at any cost? Winnable panderer.

Along the lame side of economic recovery, last night Romney cried out for higher prices on homes.

*gag -- a fabulous quick fix for the mortgages under water, a miraculous cure-all for the speculative boom burst crash. I-N-F-L-A-T-I-O-N: The spice of life.  "Use the voice" Mitt wants to be Muad'Dib Reagan.

What good to the average unemployed homeless American is the higher cost of housing? At this point of ruin, don't submit to another boneheaded Ivy Beleaguering Keynesian campaigning FOR INFLATION as the "solution" to either Depression or the pointed immediate question of how to return the manufacturing industry to America. That was the question posed.

"INCREASE THE PRICE OF HOMES!" another price fixer interfering with the natural flow of supply and demand. Hell, as if Romney's family was still in Mexico in 1929, providing his excuse for staying stuck on a failed FDR gambling gimmick. Being FOR TARP, whatever tax funds Romney would direct towards fixing prices would end up once again with Romney's globalist financier cronies.

"Promise Anything. Just get their votes." 2008, 2012 Mitt.

CNN of course did a shitty job with the debate.  But so did Fox a couple of weeks ago with that pretend debate thingy in SC. 

Debates with strict "formats" are not debates.  Candidates can only screw themselves, or not screw themselves.  You can't solve anything, and you can't look particularly good, except in comparison to others.

Newt lashed King and tutored his competitors "how to" respond in debate to a truly stupid moderator.

As wrong as right on issues, when he's on the attack, Newt knows how to stay on target like Gen. Honore delivering the sublime blow to the idiot reporter: "You're stuck on stupid."

The RNC may as well sponsor the debates for online spectators/participants.

Who sold out Clark's final words for public knowledge?
Did Fred Clark forget to hang-up before threatening the lady, recorded on her own machine?

126

That part of the story isn't told.  I don't know who recorded it, but it seems unlikely it was Clark himself.

I'm sure that will be the defense-- it was an illegal recording, or it wasn't meant to get out, or something.

You know who benefits from this?  Anthony Weiner.

127 Newt lashed King and tutored his competitors "how to" respond in debate to a truly stupid moderator.

Yeah, Newt didn't come off too bad, other than his lame "out of context" excuse for the Ryan hatchet job he did.

Cain came off pretty good too telling the CNN asshole what was real.

The rest of them tried to do the normal Republican response to a hostile lying reporter, no response, just roll over.

yes and that statement read as "wow this guy is really naive and out of touch" instead of the way he wanted it to read.

129 The debate format has to change.  If you are going to do cattle calls for debates then you want to hear every candidate answer every question and then it just becomes tedious.  Maybe there should be three pages of questions and each candidate sits down to answer the same questions on video. then there is a public reaction suggesting further questions and clarifications and the candidate sits down again to clarify and answer further questions.  Then there is more public comment and debate. 

eventually only the truly committed and patient will stick it out.

Plus I don't care what you think about the war now, I care that you know how to figure it all out when you get in.  I care that you know how to lead, who to call, who to put in charge, how to reach a consensus that worries about me, the average American.

You can say all you want "we are out of the middle east" but look barack said that and he was in stark contrast to ole mccain who wanted to be there for a hundred years.  And still, once he got there, he's replaying GWB on steroids.  I remember saying "listen to what he says, he sounds like a war hawk" and you guys trounced me and look I'm turning out to be right.

130 Words (and thoughts) have more power, more influence than people care to recognize or deal with in a world influenced by sound-bytes, fast-food, reality T.V., inpatience & inability to focus on anything longer than the 30 seconds it takes for a commercial to send them running down to the nearest McD-----s.

131 My only issue with Michele Bachmann in last night's debate is that she wasn't confrontational enough when hit with the "Elvis or Cash?" question. From my perspective, it was the perfect question for her to flip out on because, you know, only backwoods rubes like Elvis and Johnny Cash and this was clearly intended to somehow blow her mind - like asking "bass boat or 1 year's prescription of oxycontin?" Anyway, if she'd had the presence of mind to throw a calculated "hissy fit" (that's what the rednecks call it) it would've lent her a lot of credibility. If the question was actually free of contempt and subtext, then why not ask Herman Cain which white rockabilly star he preferred?

134 Just thought I'd let you know that today, the students and faculty at an Elementary school near us celebrated Flag Day by honoring past and current veterans of all services.
  They do this each year and this marks our 4th time. The theme is to promote America and it's ideals, so for those who bemoan the state of our educational system, there ARE a few bright spots.

Ethics in America

1980s PBS series had a lot of big figures in a long-answer conversational format.

I learned a lot about peoples' stupid ideas from that. The Buckley ones were pretty good.

I'm sure the libs getting beat up is why the series didn't continue.
