Hamas Claims Responsibility for Jewish Settlers Attack
As frequently is the case dealing with the Palestinians, every time there is talk of peace they themselves sabotage all hopes.
The UK Telepraph reports that the military wing of Hamas has claimed responsibility for the killing of four Jewish settlers who were shot dead in their car on the eve of direct peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians.
The shooting was the deadliest attack by militants in the West Bank for more than a year and was seen as an attempt to derail negotiations in Washington, where President Barack Obama was preparing to host a dinner for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, before the two leaders meet face-to-face on Wednesday.
Ehud Barak, Israels' defence minister, promised that Israel would "exact a price" from those who had carried out the shootings. "This is an apparent attempt by lowly terrorists to sabotage the attempt to achieve a diplomatic process."
A spokesman for Mr Netanyahu said the attack proved there must be “no compromise” on Israeli security demands, a spokesman said.
“This criminal murder proves again the need to stand firmly on Israel’s stringent security demands, and there will be no compromise on them,” he said, adding that Mr Netanyahu “ordered security forces to act without political limits to catch the murderers and react aggressively.”
The White House also condemned the killing “in the strongest possible terms”.

OPENS 9/17-"Devil" Movie Opening Review
The plot was good to say that this film had no well-named actors in it-but every time the screen went dark & black that seemed like great parts in the movie, but I hated it because we could not see what was happening. I mean, it was scary hearing them all scream, but I think that seeing the gore that the Devil was exhibiting would have been greater if we would have seen it on screen. I was pretty shocked to see which person was the Devil. I thought it was a certain person, but I was wrong...but when the Devil attacked and was noticed, I jumped but a lot of people in the theater was screaming so loud behind me that it was super funny! Lol! I seriously think that this film will be in the lower 10 Opening Weekend-rating @ like between 5th or 8th place.
OPENS 9/17-"The Town" Movie Opening Review: Starring Ben Affleck
I thought that this movie was going to be like the old movie, "Set It Off" & it was but only with a little twist. This movie had minimal jokes, which were funny, vulgar language as in "The Departed" and the gore was not brutal, but it was on-screen killings as in so many other brutal films and it was great! The high and very intense car speed chases and the killings were perfection! This movie was very good from start to finish. There was one scene in the movie where every one in the entire theater laughed their asses off and it is the part where a cop spots the "four nuns" and he is just looking at them in SHOCK! Unforgettable! Sensational! It was funny as hell! I love good action movies that have a few jokes in them. This was a great Crime/Gangster movies like "We Own The Night" and other movies like that! I loved it and I will buy it on DVD!
Bulgarian Man Wants Sex Change to Become Lady Gaga
And the number of freaks in the world keep on coming!
Radar Online reports that Bulgarian man is going so gaga for Lady Gaga that he wants to become her.
PHOTOS: More Nunsense From Lady Gaga
Penio Daskalov, 24, plans to have a full sex change operation and is enlisting cosmetic surgeons to turn him into a double of Lady Gaga, which he thinks will help him launch a career in music, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"I really admire the way she has created herself, so when I've had my operations I won't be quite a man or quite a woman," Daskalov said.

"I've already contacted her management and told them what I am doing and how I'd like to record a duet with her," he concluded.
Daskalov was a housemate on the Bulgarian version of Big Brother where he successfully tricked contestants on the show into thinking he was a woman.

Obama Gives a Comatose Speech: End of Combat Mission in Iraq
Somebody should have handed the president a Red Bull before tonight’s oval office address. For a moment I thought Obama was going to keel over on his face.
That would have been more exciting than the snooze-fest he delivered announcing the end of the combat mission in Iraq. If you were looking to hear Obama talk about victory, you have better chance Joe Biden not ever putting his foot in his mouth.
Was it too much for the president to muster the enthusiasm for success in Iraq and giving that country a chance to live in freedom?
But, I forget.
The president rarely ever uses the word “freedom” in any of his speeches.
That tells you something doesn’t it?
What came across in this dull oratory loud and clear is president Obama’s heart isn’t into being a war time president. He sees the wars as a distraction from his attempt to remake the country into a Nanny state.
In fact, he used the speech as an opportunity to throw in a little domestic policy. I thought that was pretty bad form. But, that’s what you get from Obama- a whole bunch of bad form.

Joran Van Der Sloot Prison Romance with Mystery Woman Dutchman’s gringa
It’s nice to have your squeeze come by twice a week in addition to getting three hots and a cot.
The National Enquirer reports that accused killer JORAN VAN DER SLOOT has begun a jailhouse romance with a mystery woman who’s been allowed to visit him in his cell, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.
The slim, 30-something blonde calls on Dutch-born Joran twice a week at the grim Miguel Castro Castro prison in Lima, Peru.
“She’s a white foreigner with short blonde hair who speaks English and Spanish fluently. Guards as well as prisoners refer to her as 'the Dutchman’s gringa,’” revealed a source close to the case.Joran has called the woman “my girlfriend” in conversations with Hugo Trujillo Ospina aka “The Clown,” the Colombian assassin who shares his cell block.
However, it is unlikely that Joran has been able to get very intimate with the woman inside the 2,300-inmate prison because he is never left unguarded.She began visiting van der Sloot, 23, on June 20 — 17 days after he was arrested for the brutal murder of Stephany Flores, the 21-year-old daughter of a wealthy businessman.
According to prison sources, the unlikely romance blossomed after van der Sloot’s mother began paying the woman $100 a month to take him food, money and clothing, and report on his condition.

Lou Diamond Phillips Talks About His Friend Kiefer Sutherland
You’ve worked with Kiefer Sutherland, you guys still buds? Keep in touch etc?
LDP: I absolutely adore Kiefer. Not only a great actor but one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet with an absolute heart of gold. Having said that, I saw him two months ago and he mooned me through a lobby window at the Chateau Marmont. Given our history together, I had no choice but to moon him back. Drinks ensued. This is the nature of our relationship. I’d crawl through broken glass to work with him again.
Rob writes: “What was it like to work with Kiefer Sutherland again on season 1 of 24 after doing the Young Guns movies? Would you like the opportunity to work with him again?”
LDP: Little bit of an overlap from the last question but I’ll elaborate by pointing out that Kiefer and I have worked on five projects together – Young Guns 1 & 2, Renegades, Picking Up the Pieces (With Woody Allen & Sharon Stone. I hear it’s terrible. I’ve never seen it.) and of course those two eps of 24 in Season 1. I got a call from my agent who informed me they were offering me the role but the script wasn’t written yet. I was told it would be me, Kiefer and Dennis Hopper in a bunker. Sounded like a party to me so I told them I needed to make one call. I called Kiefer on set (he was unaware of the offer) and he told me to say yes immediately. Obviously, I did. He mentioned a project to me in passing the last time I saw him so I have hopes that we’ll be back in the saddle again. He is still one of my favorite people in the biz. Also, just as an added note, don’t remember the season or the ep but Kiefer/Jack Bauer saved my daughter Grace from nerve gas in a mall not too long ago. It was her first professional gig.

All Hands on Deck: Democrats Plan the Biggest Smear Campaign (Pulling the Race Card) in U.S. History
It’s desperation time for Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to motivate their base!
Gallup reports that Republicans lead by 51% to 41% among registered voters in Gallup weekly tracking of 2010 congressional voting preferences.
The 10-percentage-point lead is the GOP's largest so far this year and is its largest in Gallup's history of tracking the midterm generic ballot for Congress.
These results are based on aggregated data from registered voters surveyed Aug. 23-29 as part of Gallup Daily tracking. This marks the fifth week in a row in which Republicans have held an advantage over Democrats -- one that has ranged between 3 and 10 points.
The Republican leads of 6, 7, and 10 points this month are all higher than any previous midterm Republican advantage in Gallup's history of tracking the generic ballot, which dates to 1942.
Prior to this year, the highest such gap was five points, measured in June 2002 and July 1994. Elections in both of these years resulted in significant Republican gains in House seats.
Large leads on the generic ballot are not unprecedented for Democrats. The widest generic ballot lead in Gallup's history was 32 points in the Democrats' favor, measured in July 1974, just prior to Republican President Richard Nixon's resignation over the Watergate scandal.
This large margin illustrates Democrats' historic dominance over Republicans in registered voters' party identification in the decades since World War II. Democrats controlled the House of Representatives continually between 1955 and 1995, and routinely held generic ballot leads in the double digits during that period.
Republicans Have 25-Point Lead on Enthusiasm
Republicans are now twice as likely as Democrats to be "very" enthusiastic about voting, and now hold -- by one point -- the largest such advantage of the year.
Republicans usually turn out in higher numbers in midterm elections than do Democrats, and Gallup's likely voter modeling in the final weeks of an election typically reflects a larger GOP advantage than is evident among registered voters. The wide enthusiasm gaps in the GOP's favor so far this year certainly suggest that this scenario may well play itself out again this November.
Bottom Line
The last Gallup weekly generic ballot average before Labor Day underscores the fast-evolving conventional wisdom that the GOP is poised to make significant gains in this fall's midterm congressional elections. Gallup's generic ballot has historically proven an excellent predictor of the national vote for Congress, and the national vote in turn is an excellent predictor of House seats won and lost. Republicans' presumed turnout advantage, combined with their current 10-point registered-voter lead, suggests the potential for a major "wave" election in which the Republicans gain a large number of seats from the Democrats and in the process take back control of the House. One cautionary note: Democrats moved ahead in Gallup's generic ballot for several weeks earlier this summer, showing that change is possible between now and Election Day.

Why is MSNBC Losing Viewers in Droves?
One of the reasons is Ed Schultz.
It’s an open secret within the cable industry that Schultz has a bigger man crush on Barack Obama than even Chris Matthews. However he isn’t as articulate as Matthews or even Keith Olberman which why whenever Schultz is outmaneuvered on a debate, and that pretty much happens on a daily basis, he screams and insults people.
Although that may impress some hardcore Liberals who are some of the most ill-informed people in the country, for other people with a modicum of common sense, they recognize Schultz for what he is.
That’s why Fox ratings beats MSNBC and CNN combined day in and day out in every time slot.
People want honest reporting, not cheerleaders for the president and the people of this country are voting with their TV remotes.
I think I have more readers of my blog than Ed Schultz has viewers.
Some of Ed Schultz greatest hits.

Glenn Beck’s Post 828 Restoring Honor Rally Interview on Fox News Sunday (Video)
Glenn Beck gives his only interview after a tremendous event attend by over 300,000 Americans. Something big is happening in this country thats scaring President Obama and the Democrats to death.
Their response?
They are misrepresenting Beck and anything that appears on Fox as racists, bigots, homophobes, sexists, Islamophobes and any other nasty epithet.
They name call because they can’t win an argument with numbers that don’t add up, ideas that have never worked anywhere in the world where they’ve been tried.
Liberalism losing because their ideas are a bunch of false academic excesses that play well on college campus, but never work in the real world.
Glenn Beck is only a man with a platform that’s resonating with America with the impact of a nuclear bomb. And his message has always been turn back to yourself and God and reclaim the country.
Liberals are peeing in their pants because the Emperor Obama never has any clothes and more and more people are noticing.
Is that Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman crying in the fetal postition?

SPOILER! Criminal Minds Ed Bernero Previews Season Six
By: Adam Wright
.
Criminal Minds will be entering its sixth season on CBS this fall. However over the esummer, the crime-drama has made headlines with the departure of A.J. Cook and demotion of Paget Brewster.
I had the opportunity to talk to Criminal Minds Executive Producer Ed Bernero about the new season. What’s in store for season six? Here’s what he had to say.
***
Note: Any questions asked specifically about A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster were passed, as they’ve already been addressed.
Adam: Criminal Minds is returning for its sixth season on September 22nd. That’s pretty impressive for a crime-drama, especially with ratings still going strong. How do guys you keep things fresh after this long?
Ed: Our main subject matter is serial crime and there is (unfortunately) a fairly bottomless pit of source material. That said, all of us on the show, both in front of and behind the camera, continually challenge each other to be fresh and a little different with every story. To stretch ourselves creatively and not just rely on the scary bad guys/girls. We really believe every episode should be a mini-movie experience for the audience.
***
Adam: The great thing about Criminal Minds is that it has bounced-back from a cast-member departing. Mandy Patinkin left the series, and later was replaced by Joe Mantegna. Thankfully the audience welcomed Joe to the series to great response. What do you credit this to, the show bouncing back after a major departure? Not any show can do that.
Ed: Well, first of all, if it’s going to happen to a show, they couldn’t do any better than Joe stepping in. He’s been amazing addition for the audience as well us everyone at the show. Secondly, it all goes back to stories. If the rest of the cast is talented (as ours definitely is), and the stories are compelling, I think cast changes, as disruptive as they are, can eventually be absorbed by the audience.

President Obama Blasts the New Media for Reporting the Actual News and calling it Lies and Disinformation
I was surprised Brian Williams, News anchor for NBC News didn’t lean over and start caressing Obama’s face and purr, “It’s alright, Barack. You know how much we love you.”
How much does the American media love Obama?
About this much.
President Obama hates “new media” which is made up of Fox News, a small number of conservative newspapers and magazines, and especially the blogosphere because they have taken up the banner of professional journalism the legacy mainstream media have abandon and thrown into the trash.
He hates a free and responsible press that is constitutionally protected to analyze and disseminate the machinery of government to keep the public fully informed.
An informed electorate is a vital part of a strong and healthy democracy and this president cops an attitude with anybody that reports what he does.
We have a crisis of information in this country because we no longer have a free press!
They, the legacy mainstream media are willingly enslaved to a Liberal ideology they share with this president which is why they intentionally distort facts and shamelessly advocate for him.
The Politico reports that President Barack Obama dismissed a recent poll showing that a third of Americans don’t know he’s a Christian — and blamed an online campaign of misinformation by his conservative enemies for perpetuating the myth that he’s a Muslim.
Obama, speaking with NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams on Sunday afternoon: “The facts are the facts. We went through some of this during the campaign — there is a mechanism, a network of misinformation that in a new media era can get churned out there constantly,” said a visibly annoyed Obama.
A stunning 18 percent of Americans identify Obama as Muslim, according to a Pew poll released earlier this month.

well, summer is almost over and I wasn't aware it was even here having spent most of it in a fog...and Labor Day is right around the corner and isn't that the day our Wendy fires someone, preferably a union member? Well, she can't fire me that's for sure...but I heard she fired Barry the Barrister or at least put him on waivers probably because he used to work for the city and we all know about those city employees....
we know that Tom Watson and friends like the News-Press want to put Lois Capps out of a job, but Lois always hangs tough. The only thing the Teabaggers can say about her is they don't the shape of her district and she broke her promise..she's a woman so she can change her mind anytime she wants and her daughter has a pretty nice shape so, if that's all you got against her Tom, you're gonna lose again...
so everywhere I look there's people celebrating non-profits. I'll say this until I swallow my tongue: start taxing churches and nonprofits and you solve budget problems..they are sitting on billions of reserves and most give out a miniscule amount to their intended charity victims...if elected, I will introduce a bill to kill the tax-exempt status of nonprofits and we'll watch them run for the hills!!
but let's look at some local NPs, shall we?
Alzheimer's Assistance Fund..sounds good
Architectural Foundation...a real necessity!
Cancer Center..cancer is a bitch, but how much money can you throw at it??
Friendship Center..who would go to place called Friendship Center...if you're lonely, deal with it!
Family Care Network...families are sick!! get out while you can!!
Montecito Bank and Trust..what? since when are banks nonprofits??
Scholarship Foundation...instead of working your way through college, some rich people pay your way!
Center for Successful Aging...WTF is up with this...time sucks you dry and Nature kills you..sorry!
Hearts Therapeutic Equestrian Center...whatever happened to camps where kids would go and spend the summer riding horses, doing crafts, sleeping in bunkhouses? That's what we need more of, not these nonprofits...healthy bodies equal healthy minds!
Non-Profit institutions are frequent targets for fraud, presumably because the controls on collecting, spending and recording the finances are so much more casual than those of the business community. Lax controls lead to others taking advantage of the situation and stealing.
so ask yourselves, why do they keep asking you for more money??

Drunk Baboons Plague Cape Town's Exclusive Suburbs
The UK Telegraph reports that the sun is setting over South Africa's oldest vineyard and the last of the wine-tasting tourists are climbing onto their buses.
But one large family group has no intention of leaving – and there is little the management can do about it.
Groot Constantia, in the heart of Cape Town's wine country, can deal with inebriated holidaymakers – but it is invading baboons which have developed a taste for its grapes that the wine makers are struggling with.
Each day, dozens of Cape Baboons gather to strip the ancient vines – the sauvignon blanc grapes are a particular favourite – before heading into the mountains to sleep. A few, who sample fallen fruit that has fermented in the sun, pass out and don't make it home.
"They are not just eating our grapes, they are raiding our kitchens and ripping the thatch off the roofs. They are becoming increasingly bold and destructive," said Jean Naude, general manager at the vineyard, which is celebrating its 325th birthday this year. Guards banging sticks and waving plastic snakes have been deployed with only limited success, and not even a blast of a vuvuzela, the plastic horn made famous at the World Cup, seems to frighten them.
It is not just the vineyards in South Africa which are under siege, however, but also the exclusive neighbouring suburb of Constantia, home to famous residents including Earl Spencer, Wilbur Smith and Nelson Mandela.
Crisis meetings between animal welfare groups and traumatised locals are struggling to find a workable solution.
"Where there's a mountain, there's a baboon," said Justin O'Riain of the Baboon Research Unit at the University of Cape Town. "As we take up more and more of their land, the conflict increases."
The baboons lived in the mountains of Cape Town long before humans took up residence, but development has forced the unlikely neighbours into increasingly closer contact.
Before laws afforded baboons a protected status a decade ago, troublesome animals were regularly killed or maimed by home owners and farmers. Now around 20 full-time "baboon monitors" are employed to protect them and guide them away from residential areas. It has proved mission impossible. Last week, a 12 year old boy was left traumatised after confronting a troop who had broken into his family home.
Hearing noises from the kitchen, he went to investigate and found the beasts ransacking cupboards.
When the child fled upstairs to find his babysitter, three males gave chase and surrounded him as he made a tearful phone call to his mother, while the animals pelted him with fruit.
"When he called me he was terrified. They had him surrounded," said the Constantia housewife, who did not wish to be identified.

British War Hero Cpl Sam Rae Barred from Store for Wearing his Uniform
This is a pure case of discrimination against the military.
This soldier put his life on the line to serve his country and gets treated like this? I don’t have to guess too hard the political persuasion of the shopkeeper-a Liberal.
The Sun reports an injured war hero was barred from his local cornershop - for wearing his Army uniform.
Cpl Sam Rae, 27, who is recovering after breaking his back in a June bomb blast, popped in for chocolate and crisps in his desert combats. The Royal Dragoon Guard said: "The shopkeeper pointed at my uniform and said, 'Are you military? I can't serve you. Can you get out.' I flung the crisps on the counter and walked away."
Sam narrowly escaped death when he was thrown 20 yards from his tank in Afghanistan.
He said: "I'm proud to be a soldier. I'd expect a welcome - not to be kicked out of a shop."
Arumugam Tharma, 43, who runs the store in Heysham, Lancs, claimed licensing laws prohibit sales of cigarettes to anyone in uniform - but the MoD say no law exists. He said: "I've no feelings on the war."
Defence Secretary Liam Fox vowed to outlaw discrimination against troops.
He said: "It is a disgrace that one of our brave soldiers should be treated in such a disgusting manner."

"It's just me and Heidi, that's it," she said."Me and Heidi were hanging out at her house in Malibu and he came over to pick up some stuff and he 'accidentally' took my camera," Karissa revealed"
I talk to Heidi every single day and I tried to be there for her when she was going through her divorce, but now it's starting to affect my life.

Imagenes de Rodimus Prime Masterpiece Finalizado
Asi es muchos y muchachas, en el evento que se realiza en Japón, el Chara Hobby 2010, se han mostrado las imagenes ya finalizadas del Rodimus Prime Masterpiece. Como podrán apreciar en las imagenes, ésta versión del Rodimus vendrá también con un modo Hot Rod tanto en su modo robor como en su modo vehículo.
Pues no tengo mucho para decir en favor a ésta figura, es un muy buen tributo, eso no lo voy a negar, sobretodo me gusta mucho su modo camión (en Rodimus) pero el resto no es de mi agrado. Sinceramente prefiero muchisimo más la versión de Rodimus Universe que ésta, incluso, la versión de Rodimus de la línea Universe con la armadura que está creando Fansproject para que adopte el modo "Rodimus Prime" la sobrepasa sin manera alguna, ésto a mi parecer, y ustedes que opinan respecto a ésta figura?

Dear Julia,
how are you? I am fine... how's the paintball- shooting -lions gig working out? you know, I heard if you don't have sex on a regular basis, you can go crazy..so sanity is only a phone call away! But seriously, I know you work hard at the Animal Rescue Team and you love animals and would do everything in your power to prevent abuse, especially of pets who trust us. I join you in that endeavor, #69...now, I need your help. I was reading the News-Press on Sunday morning and saw the most horrible abuse of a little dog that I have ever seen..this little poodle who is normally a pretty happy dog was in terrible shape..terrible! The News-Press we all know is owned by #86 and she purports to love animals more than people, at least working class people, but this latest episode should have us all wondering. She put this animal abuse on the front page and ..well..as you can see, there is no excuse..first of all they demean the small dog by calling it a "toy", then they have a picture of a horse hanging over its' head, sort of a reminder of what it will never be when it grows up, then some fat chicks look down upon the little poodle after having mutilated its' coat..this poor little dog does not look pleased!! I think those involved in this abuse should be arrested, including #86....what do you think?
I'll be looking forward to you taking some action or giving me some action..whatever!!

Far Left Blogger David Neiwert: “Snoring Honor: Beck's big rally just a long-winded and boring sermon. And boy, was the crowd white.
Have you ever tuned in to the Grammy Awards, or the Oscars, or an NFL, NBA or Major League Baseball game and say to yourself, “Gee, that crowd is pretty White.”?
Better yet have you ever heard a Liberal commentator complain how White the crowd was at the Tony Awards?
I think not.
But, whenever there’s an event that is perceived to be composed of Republicans, Liberals are only too happy to notice the number of Whites even though it mirrors the same demographics as the other events I mentioned.
David Neiwert, a Far Left blogger for Crooks an Liars, a very appropriate title for Mr. Neiwert, does as much when he wrote this describing Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally:
“He [Glenn Beck] started weeping while telling the crowd that somewhere out there was "the next George Washington".
Dunno about you, but when I saw pan shots of the crowd -- which was one of the whitest crowds in D.C. in recent memory -- I mostly thought I saw "the next Timothy McVeigh."
Besides being grossly scornful of an event that featured Americans turning back to God, praying, and encouraging other Americans to do good, Mr. Neiwert is engaging in Liberal de-construction to marginalize Glenn Beck.
According to the 2008 Census of the United States with a population of 310 million, the country is 79.8% White, 15.4% Hispanic, 12.8% African American, 4.5% Asian American, 1.7% Multi cultural, 1% Native American and Alaskan, and 0.2% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander.
So, if 8 out of 10 people in the United States is White to begin with, then its very understandable, except for Mr. Neiwert apparently, that you’ll see more White people at any large gathering like a NFL game, or the Oscars, or a Yankees game and at 8 28 Restoring Honor Rally.
Mr. Neiwart’s observation is as insightful as saying water is wet.
But, it works for his crowd that is made up guilt-ridden White people who hate America, mindless no-nothings who are easily manipulated by the David Neiwert’s, and Chris Matthews’s, Ed Schultz’s and the Keith Olberman’s of the country.
We need people like these for a good laugh once in a while.
The truth is Liberals are scared too death and desperate because they know they’re going to loose huge in the upcoming mid-term elections. So you will see the race card pulled in the coming weeks like you’ve never seen it before.
That’s why they’re demonizing Fox and Glenn Beck who only points out how their policies are failing.
Liberal de-construction is not working because more and more African Americans are watching Fox and their eyes are being opened, not with lies and manipulation like they do on MSNBC, but with facts, cold hard statistics and honest exmination of the Liberal agenda and how its failed in Europe, in Greece, and everywhere its tried.
So flail away Mr. Neiwert, judgment day comes in November.
Memeorandum

Bob Herbert of NY Times Attacks Glenn Back’s 8 28 Restoring Honor Rally Before It Happens
Affirmative action case, Bob Herbert, used to write for the New York Daily News. He wasn’t much of a writer when I was growing up and now that he’s at the NY Times proves to me that the Left sure does takes care of their own.
Talent and merit need not apply in Bobby’s case.
This is how Mr. Herbert started his column from yesterday’s Times that was written before Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally.
“America is better than Glenn Beck. For all of his celebrity, Mr. Beck is an ignorant, divisive, pathetic figure. On the anniversary of the great 1963 March on Washington he will stand in the shadows of giants Abraham Lincoln and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Who do you think is more representative of this nation?”
There are several things going on here beyond the typical Liberal knee-jerk reaction by the Left to attack and misrepresent Glenn Beck.
The first thing you have to understand about Bob Herbert is that he’s fulfilling his role as a house Negro for the Left and the Democrat Party.
What he writes is always meant to deceive Black people and keep them in the dark by not only denouncing Glenn Beck, but anybody or anything that appears on the Fox Channel.
The standing unwritten, unsaid, but very much understood order given by the Democrat Party to their 21st century “overseers” which include not only Bob Herbert at the NY Times, but also Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post, Cynthia Tucker at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and syndicated radio personality Michael Baisden and others is to vilify anything that appears on Fox.
If you’re really “Black” in America you’re not suppose to watch Fox and if you do you’re not suppose to believe anything that appears on it because they’re a bunch of nasty-ass racists that want President Barack Obama to fail.
However, for Blacks that fail to get the message and do watch Fox are immediately attacked by fellow African Americans and thusly called Uncle Tom, Aunt Thomasina, and other vile epithets meant to bring those people back on the mental plantation.
Sounds silly?
Yes it is, but that’s the socialization in the hood and it’s been effective.
This is what the Democrat party desperately needs to do to maintain a 95% and up voter rate among Blacks.
People, hate to hear it, but its true.
This video was taken before Obama was ever elected and he knew that Fox was the only news organization on television that actually reported the news as oppose to the other news outfits that openly advocated for Obama and his policies.
This is what’s going on beneath Herbert’s writings.
Herbert also wrote, “Jerald Podair, a professor of American studies at Lawrence University in Wisconsin, has called Aug. 28, 1963, “the most important single day in civil rights history.” This is the historical legacy that Glenn Beck, a small man with a mean message, has chosen to tread upon with his cynical rally on Saturday at that very same Lincoln Memorial.”
Also he added: “He [Beck] is an integral part of the vicious effort by the Tea Party and other elements of the right wing to portray Mr. Obama as somehow alien, a strange figure who is separate and apart from — outside of — ordinary American life."
I got to hand it to Brother Herbert. He does his job well to keep his seat at the table in order to lap up some crumbs the Left throws his way, like working at the Times despite his marginal writing skills.
Notice the speech codes Herbert used: “mean message” “cynical rally” ‘tea party” and “right-wing”
All these keywords are meant to send an overt message to his peeps in the hood, er… well…those that read the Times anyway, that nothing worth your while can come from the mouth of Glenn Back.
But, like I said earlier, I’m familiar with Herbert’s work from back in the day because I grew up in New York reading his columns for their comedic value.
There have been plenty of times over the years I relied on Herbert to find out what’s the wrong side of an issue.
Let me tell you, the brother did not disappointment.
So, what was this so-called mean message Herbert warned his Times readers about before the event actually took place?
According to Herbert it’s a mean message when Glenn Beck said America needs to turn back to God.
It’s a mean message when Glenn Beck suggested that Americans should tithe (for the biblically illiterate like Herbert: that means giving 10% of your salary) to their churches, synagogues or mosques.
It’s real mean message, again according to Herbert for Glenn to ask Americans to go down on their knees to pray.
I watched the entire event for myself on CSPAN.
Not that I needed Bob Herbert’s advice because I learned over 20 years ago that the brother brings very very little to the table.
Watch for yourself and don’t even take my word for it.
But, if you think it’s a mean message to hear references to “Jesus”, “The Lord” , “God” or references to the book of Ezra, you might think you’re watching a religious event.
In fact, it wasn’t a rally at all but a revival for America to get back to her faith roots and not be ashamed to do so if she wants God to continue to bless her!
Is that a mean message?
Let me ask you, who’s the bigger fool?
Bob Herbert or the one who believes him?
I will post videos from the event when they become available.
UPDATE: Here's a sample of a mean message by the niece of Martin Luther King who spoke at the rally.
Memeorandum
That sounded pretty mean huh, Bobby?
This is the how the rally began and let me warn you again, it’s pretty damn mean message so says Bob Herbert.

ring of fire....
powder your noses? freshen up? yes..now more than ever!! Rupert Murdoch's boozer houseboy Glenn Beck is trying to Restore his Honor today...and so can you!
although it's too late for Dr. Laura, who lost her radio show and is now turning tricks at the Biltmore, you other gals need to step it up in the hygiene dept if you want to work.....it's up to you..Tabasco Sauce or Summer's Eve!

Larry Knowles... Career women, take note: If you want to get that big raise, make sure you freshen up down below. That's the message, anyway, in a new print ad from feminine care products brand Summer's Eve. The ad, which appears in the October issue of Woman's Day, gives eight tips for women who hope to get a salary bump at work.The first tip, under the subhead "How to Ask for a Raise," includes this kernel of advice: "It should start with your usual routine ... including showering with Summer's Eve Feminine Wash or throwing a packet of Summer's Eve Feminine Cleansing Cloths into your bag for a quick freshness pick-me-up during the day."
That's right, ladies. Forget all that you've achieved during your time at Acme, or wherever it is that you work. First and foremost, wash your lady bits.The ad came to the attention of the general public Thursday when the blog Daily Kos posted a critical review of its message. Since then, several blogs have picked up the story, including AdFreak, a blog published by AdWeek, the leading trade publication for the advertising industry. AdFreak editor Tim Nudd believes that while the ad wasn't intended to offend, it never should have seen the light of day."They were playing with these vagaries of feeling good about yourself," Nudd said in an interview with AOL News, "but also that when you think of interacting with your boss, you should think, first, of feminine care products. When you think about it, it's ludicrous."Maria Mora, a writer and blogger, noticed the ad and hates that feminine care products play on the insecurities of women."How likely would it be to see an ad that suggested men up their confidence by altering the aroma of their [private parts]?" she said in an e-mail to AOL News. Actually, most men in the private sector just bend over for their boss and a say "I'll take whatever you give me, honey"! Another blogger, Jessica Gottlieb, creator of the MotrinMoms hashtag on Twitter, believes that douching is an outdated procedure and says the Summer's Eve ad reinforces the notion."An ad that sends a message that a 'clean' vagina will somehow give a woman more confidence at work used to be funny," Gottlieb told AOL News. "Now it's seen for what it clearly is, a throwback to the worst part of our work history, when women wore skirts as part of a dress code. ... Certainly no one wants to backtrack to those days."A post in AdFreak's comment section attributed to Angela Bryant, a brand manager at Summer's Eve, said, "I would like to first of all apologize if this ad in anyway has offended anyone. We are taking immediate next steps to remove the ad from circulation."
good! now excuse me while I go talk to a man about a horse.....
