Lost in translation? No, Russia Today, I don’t support raising the U.S. debt ceiling and I didn’t say it should be raised

I was on Russia Today yesterday, the cable channel owned and operated by the Russian government. RT’s website claims I said the U.S. government must raise its borrowing limit and keep on spending. For the record, I may have been a bit tired at the end of a long day Monday when the segments were taped, but that doesn’t mean I took leave of my senses. Although I didn’t take a position outright on the program, I don’t support raising the debt ceiling. It isn’t necessary. The government is taking in all the money it needs to meet its obligations. … Continue reading Lost in translation? No, Russia Today, I don’t support raising the U.S. debt ceiling and I didn’t say it should be raised

BREAKING: ‘New’ ACORN Groups Join SEIU’s Economic Terrorism Campaign Against Lenders, Governments

Newly created ACORN front groups across America have signed on to SEIU’s economic terrorism and sabotage campaign. ACORN, long associated with President Obama, is participating in the disruptive campaign through its newly renamed state chapters. Mortgage and student loan strikes, crippling bank boycotts, intimidation, and who knows what else are all on the agenda. I reported on the emergence of the “new” ACORN groups in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers. Although ACORN filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy last Election Day, its state chapters have been quietly restructuring under assumed … Continue reading BREAKING: ‘New’ ACORN Groups Join SEIU’s Economic Terrorism Campaign Against Lenders, Governments

Kook Lefty Bloggers Say Sarah Palin, The Right, Caused the Norway Massacres

Often the Left is so predictable. While Norway mourns the deaths of the 92 (so far) shooting victims, kook bloggers at FireDogLake, Democratic Underground, and elsewhere are already labelling the alleged killer to be “right wing.” This meme appears to have started with a comment made by a Norwegian political science professor who speculated that the shooter might be “right wing.” Even Sarah Palin is now being blamed for the shooting because the suspect reportedly favored the creation of a European Tea Party. The media keeps repeating the mantra that the shooter is “right wing.” But what does it even mean to be “right wing” … Continue reading Kook Lefty Bloggers Say Sarah Palin, The Right, Caused the Norway Massacres

The show is “The Bob Grant Show,” hosted by the legendary Bob Grant, the man who invented conservative talk radio.

Voter Fraud: What a knee slapper! Matthew Vadum on “The Colbert Report”

I was on “The Colbert Report” last night — for maybe a second, held up for ridicule because I believe voter fraud is a bad thing. (full video at bottom of this post) All I’m quoted saying is the phrase “voter fraud” in a segment mocking the idea that such a thing even exists in America. As I’ve shown in my book, Subversion Inc., voter fraud is amazingly prevalent. Over 54 people associated with ACORN have been convicted of voter fraud, which is a blanket term covering myriad election law infractions. Hilarious, isn’t it? (hat tip BruinKid at Daily Kos, … Continue reading Voter Fraud: What a knee slapper! Matthew Vadum on “The Colbert Report”

American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

The list of ACORN’s defenders in the media continues to grow. Gabriel Arana is the latest useful idiot to join the club. Here’s what this dishonest leftist wrote in a piece concerning Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.): The entire story has all the trappings of a contrived scandal; one cannot but draw a parallel to the James O’Keefe ACORN hullabaloo, in which O’Keefe posed as a pimp seeking advice about his prostitution business and then edited the tape to smear the organization. To be sure, all journalism—on the right as well as the left—tends toward sensationalism, and no doubt part of … Continue reading American Prospect’s Gabriel Arana joins the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club

More hate speech from Media Matters

The fascists at Media Matters for America (MMfA) never tire of their war on free speech. All views on the right are labeled by the George Soros-funded group as conservative misinformation, i.e. hate speech. Now these cretins are trying to stir up xenophobic hatred towards News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Australia. It’s the same kind of tactic they routinely accuse conservatives of. An email just went out from MMfA with the subject line, “Not in America, Mr. Murdoch.” It refers to the News Corp. hacking scandal way over in Britain. MMfA smells blood in … Continue reading More hate speech from Media Matters

BREAKING: Even As They Devour Your Tax Dollars, the Deadbeat Thugs of ACORN Housing Owe $163,000 in Back Taxes

The criminals at ACORN, President Obama’s former employer, never stop ripping off American taxpayers. The massive conglomerate ACORN Housing Corp. and its subsidiaries owe an eye-popping $162,813 in back taxes, according to the Nexis public records database. The money is owed to the IRS, California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, the city of Philadelphia, and the California counties of Fresno and Santa Clara. (The 106 tax liens are listed at the bottom of this article.) Like a con artist trying to escape his past, ACORN Housing legally changed its name to Affordable … Continue reading BREAKING: Even As They Devour Your Tax Dollars, the Deadbeat Thugs of ACORN Housing Owe $163,000 in Back Taxes

Whoops! It turns out Obama gave ACORN $541K this year, not the $80K previously reported

Updated the same night: Developing…see the bottom of this entry. Remember that story from a few days ago, the one about the Obama administration giving ACORN a $79,819 grant in March despite a federal law that prohibits the government from giving money to ACORN? It turns out that sum is a lowball figure. I discovered Obama’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave ACORN another $461,086 in January. The funds were earmarked for ACORN Housing Corp. in January under HUD’s Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP), according to the government website USAspending.gov. In order words, the Obama administration gave fraud-ridden ACORN nearly a half … Continue reading Whoops! It turns out Obama gave ACORN $541K this year, not the $80K previously reported

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Kenneth Quinnell

Left-wing activist and part-time community college teacher Kenneth Quinnell is the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. Quinnell is involved in something called the Florida Progressive Coalition and he’s an Adjunct Instructor in History at Tallahassee Community College. Citing fellow useful idiot, Terry Krepel, who works for George Soros’s Media Matters character assassination squad, Quinnell claims ACORN is dead and buried. I know people who worked for ACORN. They all get paychecks from other jobs now because, you know, you conservatives killed ACORN by lying about it and convincing otherwise sane Democrats to jump ship and abandon their allies. Tedious stuff. I’ve … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Kenneth Quinnell

Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is “Impeachable Act”

If President Obama unilaterally raises the nation’s debt ceiling without the consent of Congress, it would be an “impeachable act,” Congressman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) told his constituents. (Incidentally, I said the same thing in this space two days ago.) Scott said This president is looking to usurp congressional oversight to find a way to get it done without us. My position is that is an impeachable act from my perspective. There’s lots of things people say, ‘Are you going to impeach the president over that?’ – No. But this? This is catastrophic. This jeopardizes the credibility of our nation if … Continue reading Congressman Tim Scott: Obama Bypassing Congress on Debt Ceiling is “Impeachable Act”

ACORN sings as America burns

It’s not enough for ACORN and community organizers across the land just to swing a wrecking ball at the foundations of this great republic – they have to gloat about it too. It’s no secret that ACORN and other radical groups such as La Raza, SEIU, and MoveOn are delighted that the welfare rolls are exploding everywhere. An appalling 1 in 7 Americans now receives food stamps and there are 70 bloated federal welfare programs. It’s the legacy of the failed $16 trillion War on Poverty – and President Obama, who erased the welfare reforms of the 1990s, wants to … Continue reading ACORN sings as America burns

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes the deranged Nicole Sandler

Whackjob radio host Nicole Sandler is the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. Sandler is the shrieking harpy who recently screamed at undercover videographer James O’Keefe. Apparently this is what Sandler thinks an interview consists of: Sandler remains a steadfast ACORN voter fraud denier. As guest host on the “Randi Rhodes Show,” Sandler interviewed ACORN hagiographer John Atlas. ACORN wasn’t forced to dissolve its national structure because it was hopelessly corrupt, but because it “was brought down by some unscrupulous miscreants,” according to Sandler. Snort. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes the deranged Nicole Sandler

Obama’s end run around Congress on debt ceiling may be an impeachable offense

Not that I’ve been watching closely, but so far I count as least four possible grounds for the impeachment of the president of these United States. I am not suggesting impeachment proceedings would be a good idea. I’m just keeping score, the same thing the president does. The latest impeachment ground, if President Obama follows through on it, is his kingly proposal to raise the federal government’s debt ceiling without congressional approval. Liberals are often impervious to reason, preferring to see the Constitution as authorizing everything they see as good and prohibiting everything they see as bad. “When a crisis … Continue reading Obama’s end run around Congress on debt ceiling may be an impeachable offense

Happy Dependence Day from Your Community Organizer Friends!

It’s the Fourth of July once again, the day left-wing community organizers across America celebrate Dependence Day. What’s that? July 4 is called Independence Day, you say? Not to the radical mob-o-crats of ACORN, La Raza, SEIU, and the legions of other socialist groups that are swinging a wrecking ball at the foundations of this great republic. America is under siege as extremists determined to pulverize the U.S. Constitution deliberately bankrupt the nation, destroy the electoral system, and drive the economy into the ground. (And to boot, just in time for Dependence Day the Obama administration gave $79,000 of your … Continue reading Happy Dependence Day from Your Community Organizer Friends!

The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Aunty Em of News Hounds

Let’s have a big round of applause for blogger Aunty Em of the anti-Fox News hate site News Hounds. She’s the newest member of the ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club. In a new post trashing Andrew Breitbart she makes the demonstrably false claim that the undercover ACORN videos that showed the group’s criminal inclinations were somehow “thoroughly discredited.” No facts, just a smear. Aunty Em, whoever you are, wherever you are, you’re an idiot in the service of error. * * * * * America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. … Continue reading The ACORN ‘Useful Idiot’ Club welcomes Aunty Em of News Hounds

Writer of Rolling Stone hit piece on Michele Bachmann is a left-wing extremist

It turns out that the author of a Rolling Stone hit piece on Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) hangs out with some unsavory characters, Trevor Loudon reports. The writer, Matt Taibbi, is the author of a fascinating piece of character assassination called “Michele Bachmann’s Holy War.” He received an award from the small-c communist organization known as Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Notable members of DSA include anarchist-communist intellectual Noam Chomsky, ACORN hagiographer John Atlas, convicted East German spy Kurt Stand, and a galaxy of America-hating Marxists such as Frances Fox Piven. Should it then be any surprise that he characterizes Bachmann, now a … Continue reading Writer of Rolling Stone hit piece on Michele Bachmann is a left-wing extremist

Communist Cult Leader Wade Rathke Doesn’t Seem to Realize He is the Disaster that Hit Springfield

Wade Rathke, the America-hating 1960s radical who founded ACORN, has a deliciously ironic post up on his Chief Organizer blog. It’s titled Springfield Story: Do We Learn from Disasters? In it this terrorism-loving agitator bemoans the foreclosure rate in Springfield, Mass., and praises the man who helped to cause it, Congressman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), calling the corrupt lawmaker –incredibly enough– a “banking expert and one-man accountability squad.” What ACORN’s real life Doctor Evil doesn’t say is that he caused a disaster in Springfield years ago. The sociopathic Rathke caused a riot in Springfield in order to advance his small-c communist objectives. As … Continue reading Communist Cult Leader Wade Rathke Doesn’t Seem to Realize He is the Disaster that Hit Springfield
