Time for Thorns

Liberal activists now wants  FOX NEWS to not be on in public at businesses,  lest our little  brains be polluted with foul lies.   They claim that this isn’t censorship, which from a legal standpoint it isn’t — only the government censors.

What they want is censorship by intimidation.   I haven’t checked to see who’s behind the new group,  but Media Matters and George Soros have their sticky little tentacles into everything else,  so I wouldn’t be surprised if this is yet another.   We do know that MoveOn.org  is promoting the scheme,  which suggests I’m correct.

This is on the front page of Lucianne.com.

Don Surber’s right — MSM won’t run  this because it shows His Oneness as less than graceful,  and as less adept at working out a simple logistical problems than a man of his reputed brilliance should be.

However,  Drudge posted it!

If you haven’t  seen this,  watch,  enjoy,  and pass along.

If you want to see a textbook exposition on how to dismantle a liberal,  watch  the highlights from Newsbusters of Laura Ingraham turning Dr.  Marc Lamont Hill into a pile of progressive piddle while Larry King basically looks on helplessly.

Laura has produced what is bound to be my favorite quote of the month when mentioning Our Lady of Perpetual Dissatisfaction:  “It’s not all what sleeveless wants,  sleeveless gets.”

I didn’t attend Glenn Beck’s rally on Saturday,  but I know some of the people who did.   Whatever you think of Beck,  you have to applaud the funds which will go to the Special Operations  Warrior Foundation.   A conservative blogger who warned about unsafe areas of D.C.  created a firestorm.    Having lived in D.C. for a couple of years myself,   I think it was a public service.    No matter whose head count/guesstimate/estimate you use,  media bias clearly exists.   Plenty of it was  on display before the event.

Al Sharpton’s march,  titled as a  counter-rally,  didn’t have the numbers,  and most shots show a sour man bellowing at the crowd of  activists and union goons,   not the  smiling faces at the Beck event hearing messages of faith,  hope,  and charity.

PowerLine was  in attendance at the Mall.  Don’t bother reading Frank Rich’s piece;   just read Timothy Carney’s  critique of it.   Then read what  one black attendee  at the Mall had to say, which is the exact opposite of the hysterical reaction of liberals  such as Mary Mitchell  and Bob Herbert.   Let’s hope none of  them read this in the Christian science Monitor.

His Oneness,  of course,  paid  no attention to the rally,  being so far above the fray.   Hear from  some who  attended.   I think Beck  just proved that  nobody owns August 26th.

Astronomers are  on full alert to the sun resuming an active period after a decade of relative quiet.   NASA, well,  not so much.   But the solar storm will show what an EMF attack is capable of with respect to the highly technological Western world and its dependence on things electric.   And no,  we aren’t prepared for that either.

Did you know that sun spots  can compress or extend a day?

FOX News  got the seat because it routinely blows everyone else out of the water.   Somewhere at the White House,  His Oneness was  grinding his teeth,  and the Gibblet crying in his imported beer,  because it will not only be harder to ignore Major Garrett,  but the camera will have a better view when he asks one of those questions the Press Secretary absolutely hates and has no intention of actually,  you know,  ANSWERING!

UPDATE:   It’s too bad Major  Garrett is leaving FOX for the National Journal,  but he’ll be just as good a straight reporter in print as he has been on air,  and  Wendell Goler and Mike Emanuel will do fine at the White House.

John Podhoretz has a great post on this week’s primary elections,  correctly identifying that some Republican candidates  — and winners –  are genuinely eager to  upend the political system.

The WaPo hasn’t  really figured it out yet.   Charles Hurt  has.

The bottom line is that Republicans should do very well this fall, but they’ll have to do even better to overcome the corruption put into the system,  as this Quin Hillyer  piece,  and its linked Reid Wilson column,  show.

Many of us figured Sen. Max Baucus  didn’t read the health-care bill he claims to have authored.    Now we also have proof that he doesn’t understand it either.
