This is hysterical! I'm so proud of all you who attended the rally in DC!
CNN Capitol Hill correspondent Lisa Desjardins does a live report from the National Mall in Washington on the day of a huge Taxpayer March or "tea party protest" against the government.
At the start of the interview, anchor Fredricka Whitfield "forewarns" the audience that there might be some yelling during the report.
Desjardins struggles to get through the interview in front of chants of "tell the truth" and "go home, CNN". After Whitfield asks Desjardins to "give it one more shot," the tea partyers start chanting Glenn Beck's name.
The brave reporter then attempts to ask the protesters a question: "What do you think of Congressman Joe Wilson?" The crowd reacts with applause, then starts chanting, "Way to go, Joe."
President Obama fled the masses in DC today to escape to Minnesots. He gave a speech at a health care rally, days after an address to Congress on health care. The content of the speech was more or less the same as the address to Congress, but this exchange toward the end is a little interesting. Here, Obama reminds the crowd that people against reform will "fight with everything they've got", and tells Washington "pundits" who think he's doing "too much" that "change is not easy." Then, at one point, when Obama refers to FDR, a portion of the crowd boos.
Isn't Obama's dream of socialism and massive government simply an exaggerated version of FDR's vision?
FDR created the "New Deal"; Obama is giving us a "raw deal".
The State's Attorney For Baltimore who wants to prosecute ACORN "pimp and prostitute" filmaker is caught on camera in August 2008.
Umm....no mention of prosecuting ACORN? WTF?!?!
You should let Baltimore City State’s Attorney Patricia Jessamy politely know your opinion on this issue. You can send her an email to mail@stattorney.org or call her office at (410) 396-4001.
STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT
Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.
If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.
ACORN must be stopped; the government won't do it. It is up to all of us.
You must contact your Congressman and Senators.
This has nothing to do with politics or government. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is corruption. This is voter fraud. And it goes all the way to the top; The President of The United States is directly involved with ACORN!
What do you think ACORN stands for? The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now!
What was Barack Obama's career before politics? Community Organizer! Do the math!
ACORN was officially tapped as a Census partner in February and the CRAPulus Spending "Stimulus" Bill contains over $4 Billion for "neighborhood stabilization", i.e. community organizations like ACORN.
National Review noted prior to last fall's election the shady, if not corrupt and illegal relationship between Barack Obama and his community organizer bedfellows at ACORN.
James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, the people behind the infamous undercover video in which they played pimp and prostitute, that brought down two ACORN officials in Baltimore, appear on "Hannity" to recall how they put their plan together.
Giles said she got the idea while jogging, then messaged O'Keefe on Facebook with the idea. O'Keefe recounted being "more and more ridiculous" with requests for the ACORN agents in the video. "We pushed, and we pushed, and we got everything that we asked for as a fake pimp and prostitute," Giles said. "This is who these people are," O'Keefe added. "They're soulless people."
Hannity also replayed for them the part where the lady from ACORN told the phony prostitute that she could "write off certain clothing" as well as condoms, since they would be part of her business. "They're so kind," Giles joked.
Glenn Beck appears on Bill o'Reilly's show with a jaw-dropping development: 92.3 NOW-FM personality Lisa Paige got artist Jay-Z - who has hammered O'Reilly in a recent song - to sign a copy of his book, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity!"
In the interest of full disclosure, Paige is married to Stu Burguiere, executive producer of Beck's radio show.
One day after two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired for offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes, another secretly shot videotape has surfaced that shows the same couple getting similar advice from ACORN officers in Washington.
ACORN must be stopped; the government won't do it. It is up to all of us.
You must contact your Congressman and Senators.

"We will supply Venezuela the weapons that Venezuela asks for. Why not tanks? Without question, we have good tanks. If our friends want our tanks, we will deliver them."
The US and Russia have given differing responses to Iran's latest proposals on its nuclear programme.
Anyone else sense a growing problem here? Then again, our President wants to cozy up to the communists and radicals who run these three dangerous countries. Is he naive or crazy or does he really hate America as much as it seems?
BARVIKHA, Russia (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez cemented a closer alliance with Russia on Thursday, recognizing two pro-Russian rebel regions of Georgia as independent and securing arms supplies and loans in return.
Chavez's move to recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia is a rare diplomatic success for Russia, which has tried for over a year to persuade its allies to follow its lead and treat the two small regions as sovereign. Only Nicaragua had agreed so far.
"Venezuela from today is joining in the recognition of the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia," Chavez told President Dmitry Medvedev through a translator at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow.
Caracas would start the process of establishing diplomatic relations with them soon, he added.
The rest of the world views the two regions, which threw off Georgian rule in the early 1990s and have run their own affairs since, as an integral part of Georgia. The issue has become a key sticking point in relations between the West and Russia.
President Dmitry Medvedev thanked Chavez, who is visiting Moscow, for his support. Shortly afterwards he said Russia would supply tanks and other weapons sought by Venezuela.
"We will supply Venezuela the weapons that Venezuela asks for," Medvedev said after their talks.
"Why not tanks? Without question, we have good tanks. If our friends want our tanks, we will deliver them."
No details were given of the arms deal but Russia's state RIA news agency quoted a military source as saying Venezuela would buy 100 tanks for $500 million. The two sides also announced plans for a joint bank with capital of $4 billion to finance their projects.
Venezuela wants to beef up its weaponry to resist what Chavez terms U.S. imperialism in Latin America. Tension has also been rising with neighboring Colombia, a close U.S. ally and historic rival of Venezuela.
The President has some serious ego issues. I mean really -- why does he feel the insatiable need to be the center of media attention? How many press conferences, speeches and interviews do we need to see and hear on a daily basis?
One simple answer: Obama suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
* Feels grandiose and self-important (e.g., exaggerates accomplishments, talents, skills, contacts, and personality traits to the point of lying, demands to be recognised as superior without commensurate achievements);
* Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion;
* Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions);
* Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation – or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (Narcissistic Supply);
* Feels entitled. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her unreasonable expectations for special and favourable priority treatment;
* Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends;
* Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with, acknowledge, or accept the feelings, needs, preferences, priorities, and choices of others;
* Constantly envious of others and seeks to hurt or destroy the objects of his or her frustration. Suffers from persecutory (paranoid) delusions as he or she believes that they feel the same about him or her and are likely to act similarly;
* Behaves arrogantly and haughtily. Feels superior, omnipotent, omniscient, invincible, immune, "above the law", and omnipresent (magical thinking). Rages when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted by people he or she considers inferior to him or her and unworthy.
Narcissism is a defense mechanism whose role is to deflect hurt and trauma from the victim's "True Self" into a "False Self" which is omnipotent, invulnerable, and omniscient. This False Self is then used by the narcissist to garner narcissistic supply from his human environment. Narcissistic supply is any form of attention, both positive and negative and it is instrumental in the regulation of the narcissist's labile sense of self-worth.
Perhaps the most immediately evident trait of patients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is their vulnerability to criticism and disagreement. Subject to negative input, real or imagined, even to a mild rebuke, a constructive suggestion, or an offer to help, they feel injured, humiliated and empty and they react with disdain (devaluation), rage, and defiance.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the diagnostic classification system used in the United States, as "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy."
DSM IV-TR criteria A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance 2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love 3) believes that he or she is "special" 4) requires excessive admiration 5) has a sense of entitlement 6) is interpersonally exploitative 7) lacks empathy 8) is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his "mission," displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of "The Malignant Self Love," Vaknin states, "Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist."
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Finally, The Reaganite Republican had a great piece about Obama's NPD as it pertained to his Alinsky-esque attack on Rush Limbaugh earlier this year.
The left has been using the false number of "47 million" uninsured like a mantra and repeating it again and again and again until uninformed people think it's true... it's all socialist propaganda.
Last night, President Obama suddenly referred to the number as "30 million American citizens."
Biden on the Early Show, taking issue when the anchor tells him "anyone with a beating heart" doesn't believe Obama can get a reform bill that won't add to the deficit.
I'll leave the Biden/Brain jokes to all of you. I have too many running through my mind to complete any thought!
You'll remember the Valerie Plame situation, where the former CIA operative was publicly named in a weapons of mass destruction controversy. Led by NBC News and The New York Times, the left-wing media went nuts, and ultimately Scooter Libby, a top adviser to Vice President Cheney, was convicted of a crime.
Now we have a situation that is far worse, and the left-wing media is totally silent.
A group calling itself the John Adams Project, affiliated with the ACLU, is secretly photographing CIA agents and showing the pictures to suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, among others. Activist lawyers Joshua Dratel, Edward MacMahon and Nina Ginsberg are just three members of the Adams group who are putting CIA agents in grave danger. "Factor" producer Dan Bank caught up with Ms. Ginsberg:
Undercover video from an ACORN office in Baltimore. Remember: Obama has been caught on tape telling ACORN organizers that the group will help shape his Presidential agenda.
Officials with the controversial community organizing group ACORN were secretly videotaped offering to assist two individuals posing as a pimp and a prostitute, encouraging them to lie to the Internal Revenue Service and providing guidance on how to claim underage girls from South America as dependents.
ACORN must be stopped; the government won't do it. It is up to all of us.
You must contact your Congressman and Senators.

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”
South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson shouts "You lie!" after Obama claims illegal immigrants will not be covered under his unpopular and controversial ObamaCare proposal.
So who's right, the congressman or the president?
The Congressional Research Service says that Representative Wilson is correct and that, as Wilson said, the president is misstating what the bill will and will not provide:"
Wilson's comment clearly rattles Obama and forces him to stop his speech while presumably Democratic members of Congress boo Wilson for making the remark and throwing Obama off of his game.
The nastiness of August reached from the nation's town halls into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as President Barack Obama tried to move his health care plan forward.
South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" after Obama had talked about illegal immigrants.
It wasn't the only interruption during Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives. Earlier, Republicans laughed when Obama acknowledged that there are still significant details to be worked out before a health overhaul can be passed.
Wilson's outburst caused Obama to pause briefly before he went on with his speech. Overhead in the visitors' gallery, first Lady Michelle Obama shook her head from side to side.
Public disapproval of President Barack Obama's handling of health care has jumped to 52 percent.
Desperation is setting in rapidly for a poll-plummeting Barack Obama.
To appease the radical Left fringe, Obama is set to call for a public option tonight in his speech before a joint session of Congress while more members of that body are telling him no bill will pass with the highly-unpopular public option included.
Obama has gone beyond a "Hail Mary" play attempt here, he is now bordering on either delusional or deliberately misleading, you take your pick.
Oh boo hoo! He was "just a child"? Yeah, a child who intended to kill American Troops with cowardly terrorists acts of violence.
Mohammed Jawad was just a child when he was taken to Guantanamo Bay and now, just days after his release, he has announced that he plans to file a suit against the U.S. Government. Jawad's lawyers say that he had undergone years of torture during his time as a prisoner even though there was no sufficient evidence to prove that he was, in fact, guilty. So what is next for this young man and his lawyers? RT's Dina Gusovsky speaks to one of Jawad's military defense lawyers, Captain Chris Kannady.
Rush Limbaugh discusses the real reasons why Barack Obama is giving his ObamaCare speech to a joint session of Congress tonight:
Obama is in deep political trouble, and he has to try to convince a skeptical Democratic Congress to go against the will of the American people and pass the increasingly-unpopular ObamaCare legislation.
The President will make his "Hail Mary" pass tonight on Capitol Hill.
54 yr old Family Values advocate California Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R) Orange County is caught on a hot mic speaking about spanking and more. He brags that the woman 19 yrs younger than the married father. He then avoids the media.
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich appears on Greta Van Susteren's TV show to promote his new book.
"I have been lied about," he said, saying that portions of taped conversations were used "out of context." "The truth has been mutilated," Blagojevich says, adding, "I profess that I used profanity in those private conversations."
Also, Greta suggests that in his book, Blago goes after his own father-in-law.
I love this guy; my favorite corrupt, liberal Chicago politician.
Glenn Beck, who the Left have accused of inciting "witch hunt" against now-former green jobs czar Van Jones, appears on Bill O'Reilly's show in the wake of Jones' resignation. He continues to make the argument that President Obama is a "closet Marxist," because of his association with a "Marxist, anarchist, self-avowed Communist" like Jones.
O'Reilly, meanwhile, says that Jones was not that much of an important figure in the White House.
I'm always amused when Beck and O'Reilly get together!
Pres. Obama delivered a national address to students across the country to talk to them about the importance of education. He spoke to a group of students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA.
I promised to give credit to Obama whenever possible. All in all; a nice speech to America's school children.
No indoctrination; simply a good "stay in school" message from The President.
Well here's something that finally makes sense in the health care debate!
For more information on this group of doctors, visit their Facebook page.
From Sermo.com; the group responsible for the petition:
Join Sermo to add your signature to the Physicians’ Appeal below. And let lawmakers know that you want to contribute to the reform process. After the August recess, the signed Appeal will be delivered to Senators in every state. Each Senator will then be invited to speak with the Sermo community about the real issues at the root of spiraling healthcare costs.
To the American People,
We, the physicians of this country want to reform healthcare to improve the quality and access to care for our patients while reducing costs. True healthcare reform will only succeed if:
Unnecessary tests and procedures are reduced through tort and malpractice reform. Doctors are allowed to spend more time with their patients and less time on paperwork by streamlining billing and making pricing more transparent (create an alternative to CPT codes). Medical decisions are made by physicians and their patients, not insurance company administrators. Adequate supply of qualified physicians is assured by revising the methods used for calculating reimbursements.
We invite policy makers to work directly with the men and women who are on the frontlines of healthcare each and every day caring for the citizens of this country.
We pledge to be partners in true healthcare reform, improving the healthcare delivery system in this country while honoring the Hippocratic oath that we all have taken.
Former First Lady Laura Bush says that it's okay for President Obama to address schoolchildren via a back-to-school speech.
"I think there is a place for the President of the United States to talk to schoolchildren and encourage schoolchildren," but that parents had "the right" to not let their children hear his speech.
Also, she didn't think it is fair for Obama to be called a socialist by foes - just as her own husband was the brunt of criticism under his watch. "We're polarizing a lot of people," she says. "I think it's just what happens."
She also comments that President Obama is "doing a good job," and his wife Michelle is "doing great."
Finally, she says that former Vice President Dick Cheney "has every right to speak out, and I appreciate that he's defending the Bush administration. I think that's important. I think there's a place for that."
On board Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs puts down detractors of president Obama's speech to schoolchildren.
"It's a sad state of affairs that many in this country, politically, would rather start an "Animal House" food fight rather than inspire kids to stay in school..."
I, for one, was kind of hoping Gibbs would resign along with Van "Wilder" Jones.
Then again, like Joe "The" Biden; Gibbs is the gift that keeps on giving.
Okay, this is a bit extreme. I think Obama is an insane, racist radical, but I certainly wish him no physical harm.
An Arizona pastor says he hates President Barack Obama and that he's praying for his death. In an August sermon, Steven Anderson used the bible to try and justify his controversial position.
Are you kidding? Not only are "czars" confirmed by Congress, but apparently the racist, radical communist was not approved by anyone!
Again, Obama has proven he has dangerously poor judgement.
Remember, Obama required everyone fill out this questionnaire:
Just in case the previous 62 questions do not ferret out any potential controversy, the 63rd is all-encompassing: “Please provide any other information, including information about other members of your family, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the president-elect.”
The answer could duplicate the response to Question 8: “Briefly describe the most controversial matters you have been involved with during the course of your career.”
Republican consultant Roger Stone is asked by Megyn Kelly if there will be a penalty for kids in Broward County, FL, who miss President Obama's speech to schoolchildren on Tuesday.
"I understand the punishment will be that students who refuse to participate will be required to listen to a speech by Vice President Joe Biden."
"Your punishment could be listening to Joe Biden? That could be a violation of the 8th Amendment," Gregg Jarrett comments. For the record, the 8th Amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines or cruel and unusual punishments.
"I actually find Joe Biden quite entertaining," Kelly replies. "He gave us a lot of laughs during the campaign."
As expected, Axelrod et al have completely distanced themselves from Van Jones. As if they had no idea who the guy was and wonder how he even got into the White House.
Give me a break.
Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett reports that the reason Van Jones' resignation as President Obama's green jobs czar went down the way it did was to "distance the President... as much as possible" from him.
"He was not a player," Garrett suggests.
Also, when Megyn Kelly cites Jones "blaming the right wing for his resignation amid a smear campaign," Garrett breaks into laughter.
Also, Gregg Jarrett suggests that there could be another "controversy" surrounding Obama's science czar who apparently advocated forced abortions. "Watch for this guy to get a bit more attention in the coming days," Jarrett teases.
Fantastic exercise in 10th Amendment State's rights; the Federal Government (aka Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Kathy Sebelius et al) has no right to mandate "public" health care.
Georgia State Senator Chip Rogers (R) discusses the issue on Fox News.
National Barack Channel (NBC) blames conservative bloggers for Van Jones' resignation.
Huh?
What "disinformation" are you referring to, Mr. Brokaw?
Jones resigned due to a pattern of radical, racist and anti-American rhetoric documented by actual quotes from actual speeches by a self-proclaimed communist Van Jones!
There was no "vast right-wing conspiracy" going on here; Jones brought this upon himself by, to use his own language, being an "as*hole".
Good riddance! Obviously Obama likes these communist, anti-American, black supremacist types... this can no longer be blamed on "bad luck," this is a predictable and discernible pattern.
Van Jones resigned shortly after midnight....on a Saturday into Sunday...on a holiday weekend....
Still no condemnation from President Obama on any of Jones' radical, racist and anti-American comments. Anyone surprised?
Perhaps solely the result of Fox News, in particular Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity, controversial "green jobs" czar Van Jones has, reluctantly, resigned.
Shout out to all conservative bloggers out there as well!
Nice try trying to pull the wool over our eyes, Mr. President!
President Barack Obama's adviser Van Jones has resigned amid controversy over past inflammatory statements, the White House said early Sunday.
Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
The resignation comes as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."
The matter surfaced after news reports of a derogatory comment Jones made in the past about Republicans, and separately, of Jones' name appearing on a petition connected to the events surrounding the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That 2004 petition had asked for congressional hearings and other investigations into whether high-level government officials had allowed the attacks to occur.
"On the eve of historic fights for health care and clean energy, opponents of reform have mounted a vicious smear campaign against me," Jones said in his resignation statement. "They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide."
Jones said he has been "inundated with calls from across the political spectrum urging me to stay and fight."
But he said he cannot in good conscience ask his colleagues to spend time and energy defending or explaining his past.
Jones flatly said in an earlier statement that he did not agree with the petition's stand on the 9/11 attacks and that "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever."
As for his other comments he made before joining Obama's team, Jones said, "If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize."
Despite his apologies, Republicans demanded Jones quit.
Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana said in a statement, "His extremist views and coarse rhetoric have no place in this administration or the public debate." Missouri Sen. Christopher Bonds said Congress should investigate Jones's fitness the job.
Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck repeatedly denounced Jones after a group the adviser co-founded, ColorofChange.org, led an advertising boycott against Beck's show to protest his claim that Obama is a racist.
James Rucker, the organization's executive director, has said Jones had nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn't even know about the campaign before it started.
Jones, well-known in the environmental movement, was a civil-rights activist in California before shifting his attention to environmental and energy issues. He is known for laying out a broad vision of a green economy.
Nancy Sutley chair of the council, said in a statement released early Sunday that she accepts Jones resignation and thanked him for his service.
"Over the last six months, he had been a strong voice for creating jobs that improve energy efficiency and utilize renewable resources," she said. "We appreciate his hard work and wish him the best moving forward."
