I&#8217;ve been so hard on Jon Stewart lately that it felt dishonest not to post what is objectively a truly clever and very funny skewering of MSNBC. And I post this well aware that everyone&#8217;s going to accuse me of only liking Stewart when he attacks the other side, which happens to be mostly true. In my mind, Stewart is no different from a Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell or Chris Matthews and so if he unfairly attacks one of our own, I&#8217;m going to fight back. But if he goes after one of his own you can bet that I&#8217;m going to sit back and savor every moment. </p>
<p>Feel free to sue me, but be sure to enjoy the video first.</p>
<p>And if Stewart isn&#8217;t enough fun for you, Keith Olbermann&#8217;s obviously wounded feelings might help to fill that gap:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would we ever do without the Hollywood left, especially Michael Moore (and, of course, Keith Olbermann), and his special way of setting off a firestorm every time he opens his mouth.  For such a tolerant leftist, he is short on sympathy for women&#8211;especially rape victims.  In an interview with Olbermann, Moore calls the <strong>rape case</strong> against WikiLeak&#8217;s founder Julian Assange &#8220;a bunch of hooey&#8221; as seen <a href="http://jezebel.com/5713755/michael-moore-calls-assange-rape-case-hooey">here</a>:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object id="msnbc7b2b9b" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="420" height="245" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=40667534^758824^885001&amp;width=420&amp;height=245" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" /><param name="name" value="msnbc7b2b9b" /><param name="flashvars" value="launch=40667534^758824^885001&amp;width=420&amp;height=245" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="msnbc7b2b9b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="245" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="launch=40667534^758824^885001&amp;width=420&amp;height=245" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" name="msnbc7b2b9b"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>However, Moore&#8217;s outrageous comments completely dismissing the alleged rapes have raised the ire of many, setting off a Twitter firestorm, fueled by <a href="http://tigerbeatdown.com/2010/12/15/mooreandme-on-dude-progressives-rape-apologism-and-the-little-guy/">Tiger Beatdown</a> blogger Sady Doyle who started the Twitter hashtag <a href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23mooreandme#search?q=%23mooreandme">#mooreandme</a>.  Doyle doesn&#8217;t stop there, and hauls off on Moore in her piece:</p>
<blockquote><p>So, here are some <a href="http://www.rainn.org/get-information/statistics/reporting-rates">cheerful statistics</a> for you: According to <a href="http://www.rainn.org/">RAINN</a>, about 60% of rapes aren’t reported. In those cases, there’s about a 51% chance that the 40% of reported rapes will have an arrest made. There’s an 80% chance of prosecution. And, given various factors including conviction and sentencing, there’s only about a 16.3% chance that someone who commits rape will serve time for that rape. Meaning:  If we factor in the rapes that go unreported, only 6% of rapists ever serve time. EVER. &#8230;</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>He’s put $20,000 hard, cashy dollars on the line, so that Julian Assange, white male left-wing darling, will be able to get out on bail despite posing a substantial and acknowledged flight risk, and despite the fact that he evidently is working to avoid facing the charges of his accusers. And why is that? Well, as per Michael Moore’s lengthy diatribe on the subject, which contains exactly one paragraph about the rape charges, his reasoning <a href="http://michaelmoore.com/words/mike-friends-blog/why-im-posting-bail-money">is as follows:</a></p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-429184"></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;For those of you who think it’s wrong to support Julian Assange because of the sexual assault allegations he’s being held for, all I ask is that you not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please — <strong>never, ever believe the “official story.”</strong> And <strong>regardless of Assange’s guilt or innocence (see the strange nature of the allegations </strong><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6B669H20101207" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>)</strong>, this man has the right to have bail posted and to defend himself.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words: Never, ever believe <em>the women who are accusing Assange of rape.</em> Never, ever believe the allegations that he <em>forcibly held a woman down and raped her,</em> never, ever believe that he<em> raped a woman while she was unconscious.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Big Hollywood&#8217;s John Nolte has <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jjmnolte/2010/12/18/michael-moores-public-relations-nightmare-brought-to-you-by-wikileaks/">additional insight</a> as well.  Furthermore, co-founding member of the Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network (RAINN), <a href="http://www.yessaid.com/RAINN.html"> Tori Amos</a>,  and <a href="http://www.aswaterspassingby.org/notablesurvivors.html">many other Hollywood rape and abuse survivors</a> who have come out and told their painful stories only to have someone like Moore spew such offensive statements should be shaming Moore into silence, apologies, and donations to charities like RAINN.  And Moore should have the humility to come forward and make it right (I know, wishful thinking). </p>
<p>Finally, president and co-founder, Scott Berkowitz, issued an email statement condemning Moore&#8217;s position and noting the danger in it:</p>
<blockquote><p>This issue with Moore has nothing to do with Julian Assange&#8211;like any alleged rapist, he deserves a fair trial.  The problem is that Moore doesn&#8217;t believe the charges should even be investigated or go to trial. That&#8217;s a dangerous precedent that excuses perpetrators and further harms victims.</p></blockquote>
<p>With all of the outrage his irresponsible comment based on misinformation and $20,000 bail donation to Assange have created, will Moore and even some of his Hollywood pals buck up&#8211;literally&#8211;and <a href="https://donate.rainn.org/">donate to RAINN</a> or another sexual abuse charity of his choosing.  Probably not, but then what else would you expect?  Compassion for the victims?  This is Hollywood, baby.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So President Obama faced a few hecklers yesterday, who went after him about the &#8220;Don&#8217;t ask, Don&#8217;t Tell&#8221; policy.</p>
<p>Take a gander, gander takers:</p>
<p><center><script type="text/javascript" src="http://video.foxnews.com/v/embed.js?id=4158626&#038;w=400&#038;h=249"></script><noscript>Watch the latest news video at <a href="http://video.foxnews.com/">video.foxnews.com</a></noscript></center><br />
<br /></br><br />
Now I, for one, think it&#8217;s awesome to see gay activists stretching beyond the easy targets. Usually, they rag on Mormons, because they&#8217;ll take it &#8211; but ignore black churches because they won&#8217;t. So now, for once, they&#8217;re actually speaking truth to power.</p>
<p>But hold on.</p>
<p>I just wonder&#8230; couldn&#8217;t this heckling be a precursor to violent extremism? And could this agitation toward our President, believed to be based on policy &#8211; actually be thinly veiled racism? I mean, the President actually said he agreed with this gay group. And yet they still heckled. Perhaps the members of Get Equal should look in the mirror, and ask themselves why they&#8217;re so uncomfortable with a black man in the Oval Office. Perhaps Chris Matthews could ask this question for them. While Olbermann holds the mirror.<span id="more-336694"></span></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t hold your breath &#8211; the hecklers weren&#8217;t tea partiers!</p>
<p>Anyway &#8211; I would sympathize with these activists if they took an active interest in foreign policy, our military, the war on terror, and all the work done to fight evil around the globe. But come on: activists are only interested in military matters when it pertains to their cause. To me, the military is just another daddy for protesters to shout about.</p>
<p>Look, I have no idea how gays in the military might affect battle. But in the end, war is about winning. I want to win. If gays said, &#8220;We want a stronger, deadlier military and we want to be part of that,&#8221; then I would be behind them 100 percent.<strong> </strong></p>
<p>And if you disagree with me, you&#8217;re a racist homophobe who&#8217;s not invited to my beach house this weekend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Fox News Sunday, panelist Brit Hume offered a hopeful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBFVwrJZ-mQ&amp;feature=player_embedded">New Year’s message</a> for the fallen Tiger Woods: </p>
<blockquote><p>“Tiger Woods will recover as a golfer. Whether he can recover as a person, I think, is a very open question… the extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist, I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be: ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’” </p></blockquote>
<p>As an avid golfer, Christian man, and therefore a witness to the historic fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Mr. Hume clearly offered his message in good faith with honest concern for both Tiger’s future and for that of his family, friends, fans and business associates. </p>
<p>Sadly however, some drones of Secularism have reflexively stomped on their Political Correctness brakes; stinging at Mr. Hume with personal demonization, as if he’d somehow committed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy1hQANzyTc">a sin against their totalitarian faith</a>: </p>
<p>Keith Olbermann: <em>“This crosses that principle [of keeping] religious advocacy out of public life, since, you know, the worst examples of that are jihadists, not to mention, you know, guys who don’t know their own religions or somebody else’s religion, like Brit Hume.”</em> </p>
<p>Dan Savage: <em>“Whenever we have a discussion in our country about jihadism and radical Muslims, you always hear, ‘where are the moderate voices? Where are the moderate Muslims? Why don’t they speak up?’ Where are the moderate Liberal Progressive Christians when something like this happens?&#8230; American Christianity’s been hijacked by the lunatics [including] people like Brit Hume.”</em> <span id="more-288810"></span></p>
<p>Comparing Christians that preach the Word to actual lunatic jihadists whose sole mission is to kill those who are non believers is beyond reprehensible. It’s almost as if they want make Mr. Hume an ‘Un-person’. </p>
<p>Forgiving all that for now as merely clumsy bombast, their point &#8212; and others’ <a href="http://ow.ly/SY2P">like Tom Shales</a> is clearly to intimidate Americans. It is to thwart and punish people who speak publicly in Jesus’ name. It is to force people into adhering to Secularism’s unwritten rulebook and principles, not the Bible or First Amendment &#8212; whither the Free Exercise Clause? </p>
<p>Remember the uproar in the Ivory Towers when candidate George W. Bush dared to claim that his favorite philosopher was Christ? Here, there, samey-same. </p>
<p>Secularism conveniently provides its followers a comfort of religious (and/or political) false-<em>neutrality</em>.   </p>
<p>But, Secularism is not an impartial philosophy, it is an ardent competitor in the arena of ideas, and must be treated accordingly. </p>
<p>Hunter Baker <a href="http://newledger.com/2009/12/books-you-should-read-the-end-of-secularism/">defines Secularism as</a> <em>“a radical concept that involves the privatization of religious belief: [i.e.] when we are together in the public square, if we are ‘virtuous and civil’ then we will not speak of religion at all, we will confine it to our private lives and presumably – many elites believe – when we do that, religious belief will eventually disappear.”</em> </p>
<p>From their scornful pedestals, Secularism’s faithful entitle themselves to preach intolerance towards varying viewpoints as a means to stifle civil public discourse into one party rule. </p>
<p>Mr. Savage scolds, <em>“we’ve got to stop, we’ve got to deescalate this rhetoric and the rhetorical war pitting one religion against another religion,” </em>yet his radical rhetoric is self-inoculated because he somehow believes his secular faith to be the referee. </p>
<p>Mr. Olbermann smarts, <em>“is it not in the interest of people of faith to avoid this kind of public proselytizing, I mean, the smart ones get that it just makes them look bad no matter what the thought might be?”  </em> </p>
<p>How <em>smart</em> is that, really?</p>
<p>Perhaps when Messrs. Olbermann, Savage et al. next gaze in their mirrors, they’ll realize their vulgar jihadist comparisons and smug rhetorical hypocrisies are both illogical, and utterly self-defeating. </p>
<p>How did America arrive at the disgraceful crossroad where “Elton Trueblood’s <a href="http://hunterbaker.wordpress.com/2004/11/12/novak-gives-more-perspective/">Cut Flower Civilization</a> thesis may well be in danger of fully manifesting itself”?</p>
<p>I sure hope we make the right turn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keith Olbermann’s recent <a href="http://rawstory.com/2009/10/olbermann-hourlong-special-comment/">hour-long commentary </a>was quite revealing.  Like Michael Moore&#8217;s &#8220;capitalism hasn&#8217;t done anything for me&#8221; comment, the outpouring of support and sympathy for serial pedophile and admitted rapist Roman Polanski, and President Obama&#8217;s shenanigans at the U.N. and G-20, it drove home a simple, powerful point&#8230;</p>
<p>These people don&#8217;t know what they are talking about.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-243582   aligncenter" title="olbermann" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/10/olbermann.jpg" alt="olbermann" width="335" height="278" /></p>
<p>They do not know their kiesters from a hole in the ground.  They are a few fries short of a happy meal and a few cards short of a full deck.  Their phasers are permanently set on &#8220;clueless.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once you come to this realization, as many of us have, you are forced to approach their ideas and spokespeople from a position of reality.  Not from some sanctimonious position of civility and &#8220;debate.&#8221;<span id="more-242858"></span></p>
<p>For an actual debate, two things are needed.  One, there must be a logical and factual distinction between two separate positions.  Two, there must be equally matched participants, each one prepared and versed enough to intelligently present their side of the issue.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t have that.  We have one group of people who live in a fantasy world, full of twisted facts, backwards logic and wishful thinking.  You can&#8217;t debate that. There is no factual, honest, or logical way to support their positions.  It&#8217;s like arguing the best way to take a cross-country trip with a delusional Dungeons and Dragons geek.   You want to reroute to avoid traffic on the I-10.  He wants to  &#8220;avoid the realm of the Bugbears.&#8221;</p>
<p>The other side of the &#8220;debate&#8221; isn&#8217;t operating in the same reality.  They do not operate in reality at all.</p>
<p>Michael Moore has no business lecturing anybody or making any film about &#8220;capitalism&#8221; because he can&#8217;t even define the word.  He doesn&#8217;t understand what capitalism is!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-243590 aligncenter" title="michaelmoore" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/10/michaelmoore.jpg" alt="michaelmoore" width="430" height="302" /></p>
<p>Moore grew up middle class in Flint, Michigan.  He wasn&#8217;t born with a silver spoon in his mouth.  Under a Socialist system, the young Moore would never have been able to grow (and I mean really grow) into the ultra-rich toast of Hollywood who has a net worth in excess of $50 million.  The jarring juxtaposition of the bloated, classless Moore, with his mustard stained T-shirt, Midwestern droll, and soiled baseball cap, noshing in swanky Manhattan eateries is a snapshot of Capitalism in action.</p>
<p>There should be no irony in Michael Moore making a film called “Capitalism:  A Love Story.” Michael Moore should love Capitalism as much as he loves White Castle slyders.</p>
<p>Similarly, Olbermann’s diatribe was a brave stand against…death?  You know, that inevitable thing that happens to all of us.  Somehow, he managed to make the leap in logic that government-run health care is some sort of magical insulator protecting us from the Grim Reaper. It doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>They stopped making sense awhile ago.</p>
<p>Imagine, if you will, a group of people who state that clouds are made of cotton candy.  Children love cotton candy.  In the sky, there is an unending supply of the sticky treat.  To harvest the cotton candy, we must spend billions of taxpayer dollars to create machines that pluck the confection from the heavens.  We must do this for the children.</p>
<p>“Ludicrous” states half of the population.  Clearly, clouds are not made of cotton candy.  In fact, we know exactly what clouds are made of.  We also know the exact ingredients in cotton candy. The two are completely unrelated. Recipes and scientific data are presented to prove the case.  To build a machine to collect non-existent cotton candy is a waste of money and resources.</p>
<p>The cotton candy cloud advocates respond.  Anybody who claims that clouds are made of water vapor must want to hoard the cotton candy. They must benefit from the sales of cotton candy.  Having free cotton candy would destroy their merciless pursuit of profits.</p>
<p>Oh, and obviously, they hate children and are probably racist.</p>
<p>This is what we are dealing with.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-243594 aligncenter" title="manson1a" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/10/manson1a.jpg" alt="manson1a" width="270" height="290" /></p>
<p>By acknowledging and accepting these laughable, false and dangerous ideas as simply &#8220;the other side&#8221; of a logical debate we bestow a validity to them that is unwarranted and ultimately unfair.  I scoff at people like David Frum who call for civility and intellectual debate.</p>
<p>Who do we debate?  Where are the other intellectuals?</p>
<p>Debating leftists is like debating Charles Manson.  It&#8217;s crazy talk.  When you debate a leftist you never get to debate the policy.  You debate their intended outcomes and their perception of who you are.  That&#8217;s a serious lapse in logical and critical thought.</p>
<p>World peace?  An end to poverty?  Proper medical care for all?  Equal opportunity for all men and women?  I agree.  Great.  Fine.  We all want that.  Appeasement?  Wealth redistribution?  Government controlled economy?  Pre-occupation with race and gender?  Whoa.  Wait a second, how does that work?  How do those policies equal those results?  When has that ever worked?</p>
<p>President Obama is fond of saying &#8220;the debate is over.&#8221; My question is, when did it really start?</p>
<p>Many on the right are concerned with the “fringe.” They worry that people like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck turn the discourse into a circus.  Have they not been paying attention?  Was the decision to elect Obama based on his experience, policy ideas or general grasp of the issues?  Or was it based on entertainment and feelings?.</p>
<p>Those who call for the reincarnation of William F. Buckley to do battle with intellectual lightweights like David Shuster and Paul Krugman do not understand the Twitterverse in which we live.  They ignore decades of indoctrination through public schools, universities, and Hollywood.  Presenting entertaining, emotional, and “relatable” personalities is the only way to convert a populace conditioned to think that conservatives are cold, greedy, and uncreative.</p>
<p>James O’Keefe dressed like Superfly and Hanna Giles in that skirt are more effective than hundreds of Heritage foundation studies.</p>
<p>So I say crank up the Rush Limbaugh, stick Glenn Beck in a cage with some lions and put Sarah Palin on the trapeze.  Let the circus begin.  I’ll be first in line to buy a ticket.</p>
<p>I know Joe Biden already owns clown shoes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the riots and chaos of the 1960s to the anti-war rallies of the Bush years, the American Left&#8217;s revolution has been widely televised. In fact, the Big Three and Dead Tree Press played a major part in that revolution. From negative field reporting during the Vietnam War to negative reporting on McCain/Palin and the beatification and election of Barack Obama, the MSM has been marching in lockstep and waving the banner for the American Left all the way. RatherGate, anyone? Doesn&#8217;t get much more lockstep than a reporter trying to subvert a presidential election to the Left&#8217;s advantage.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/09/herd-of-sheep.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-228850 aligncenter" title="herd-of-sheep" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/09/herd-of-sheep.jpg" alt="herd-of-sheep" width="400" height="229" /></a></p>
<p>But there&#8217;s another revolution underway in America today, and you sure as hell won&#8217;t see it televised or reported on by our new fourth branch of government. It&#8217;s not in their interest to do so. Nothing new there. For a long time now, political corruption has been rampant in the Leftist &#8216;mainstream&#8217; media. In 1998, Matt Drudge made his big mark breaking the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which Newsweek had buried to protect President Clinton. Think Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/eddriscoll/files/2009/06/nr_parody_cover_6-09.jpg">Tiger Beat</a> would have done that for Bush?<span id="more-226006"></span></p>
<p>It has only gone way downhill since into Soviet-era <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda#The_Soviet_period">Pravda</a> territory. The MSM&#8217;s modus operandi today is identical, and I don&#8217;t say that lightly. But having listened to Radio Moscow broadcasts on ham radio for years during the Cold War era, combined with some Naval Intelligence training and research into the subject, I deconstructed the Soviets&#8217; propaganda MO down to five simple canons. All five are in direct violation of every principle of objective and unbiased journalism there is:</p>
<p>1. Always make the State and its political leadership appear infallible.</p>
<p>2. Promote the State&#8217;s ideology and official policies wherever possible.</p>
<p>2. Demonize political adversaries and dissidents as enemies of the State.</p>
<p>4. Suppress news that reflects poorly on the State or its leadership.</p>
<p>5. If bad news cannot be suppressed, attack and discredit the source.</p>
<p>Those canons apply to any totalitarian dictatorship&#8217;s propaganda machinery, really. Just ask the Green protesters in Iran. I referenced the Soviet-era Pravda because I know it all too well. Example. All five canons were applied in the days following the KAL 007 <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4136846576945143477#">shootdown</a> by Russian fighter jets on September 1, 1983. There was nothing from Radio Moscow for days, then a terse statement of how Russian fighters encountered KAL 007 before it &#8220;continued on to the Sea of Japan.&#8221; That&#8217;s verbatim.</p>
<p>Finally, when the big news and damning facts could no longer be suppressed, Radio Moscow went on an all-out offensive, blaming the Americans for their own rash action in shooting down a commercial airliner and killing all 269 passengers and crew. They even insinuated that the flight number, 007, proved that it was on a spy mission. Don&#8217;t expect <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/277362">reason</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrhjyKkRHXY&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=C5E0729549D1DD0D&amp;index=0&amp;playnext=1">sanity</a> from propagandists.</p>
<p>Now, take a look at those five canons again and compare the MSM&#8217;s response to the Van Jones, Yosi Sergant/NEA and ACORN video sting scandals, all stop-the-presses headline stories. Van Jones, a presidential &#8216;czar&#8217; whom we discover is a radical racist, self-avowed Communist and 9/11 Truther. Yosi Sergant, communications director at the NEA, an independent federal agency, politicizing NEA by coordinating with the White House and artists nationwide to create art promoting Obama&#8217;s political agenda, a direct violation of NEA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.nea.gov/about/index.html">charter</a>. And all with our taxpayer dollars.</p>
<p>Last but not least, six ACORN workers in three different field offices, all most willing to perpetrate housing and tax fraud to facilitate the establishment of brothels with illegal alien child sex rings, and all on our dime. Makes you wonder who they&#8217;ve placed already. I can just picture <a href="http://www.observer.com/files/full/mediamensches.jpg">Pinchy</a> doing a Dr. Evil-like &#8220;Ssssh!&#8221; on that last musing at a Times editorial board meeting. Given the Paper of Broken Records&#8217; non-coverage of Van Jones and Yosi Sergant, I&#8217;d say Pinchy has a whole bag of &#8220;Ssssh!&#8221;</p>
<p>The Pulitzer Committee should add a new award category for Best Non-Coverage of a Major News Story. It would be an Oscar-like <a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/The-Van-Jones-non-feeding-non-frenzy-57271402.html">Battle for the Gold</a> the first year out. It&#8217;s tragic to bear witness to, having been weaned on great American <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/27/from-fourth-estate-to-fourth-branch-of-government/">investigative journalism</a> that seems almost nonexistent in the MSM these days. Very sad state of affairs, but We The People need to know who and what we&#8217;re dealing with here. This now-endemic political corruption in the MSM goes way beyond just reporting or not reporting the news. It violates the sacred public trust We The People have put in our media watchdogs to investigate and report the truth on our behalf so we can make informed decisions.</p>
<p>That political corruption also introduces severe conflicts of interest when ideology trumps major front page news stories, which has happened far too often lately. Our government should be fearful of a free press, not worshiped by it. That&#8217;s more apropos for North Korea, not America. A truly free press is supposed to keep public officials honest and on their best behavior, regardless of party affiliation. Unfortunately today, in Animal Farm-like fashion, our MSM pigs and government farmers are all gorging themselves at the same table and berating all the other farm animals who don&#8217;t fall in line.</p>
<p>In closing, I&#8217;d like to leave you with some schocka headlines from today&#8217;s wild British tabloid-like <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/">Pravda</a> that you will never see in our &#8216;mainstream&#8217; press in this Golden Age of the <a href="http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/">ObamaMessiah</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://english.pravda.ru/world/americas/22-01-2009/106993-obama_hopes-0">Obama Embodies Grand Failure of Great Hopes</a></p>
<p><a href="http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/26-07-2009/108409-barack_obama-0">Barack Obama and the Banality of Evil</a></p>
<p><a href="http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/15-09-2009/109257-obama_slave-0">Obama is Just a Slave</a></p>
<p>By stark contrast, our own MSM has reversed roles with Pravda in through-the-glass-darkly fashion and morphed into the Dear Leader Soviet-era version. All major MSM outlets suppressed the Jones story until it was no longer feasible, then attacked and discredited those who would dare expose a self-avowed Communist presidential appointee, all the while omitting key elements of the story and praising Jones despite it all in order to make Jones look good and his political opponents nefarious. That&#8217;s all five old-school Pravda canons rolled into one story, and that&#8217;s just Van Jones. As an American citizen, how much does that suck? Orwell had <a href="http://doriancope.blogspot.com/2009/06/23rd-june-1937-george-orwell-flees.html">days like this</a>. Da Svidaniya, Comrades!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belong to one category.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="http://www.life.com/image/88156353/in-gallery/27022/adolf-hitler-up-close">Adolf Hitler</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;At this point, whatever dividing line there was between mainstream conservatism and the black-helicopter crowd seems to have been virtually erased.&#8221; &#8211; NY Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/12/opinion/12krugman.html?partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss">columnist</a> Paul Krugman.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/krugmanbig1012_08409.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-163058" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/krugmanbig1012_08409.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="270" /></a><br />
Paul Krugman</p>
<p>Really sucks to be a conservative these days. I feel like I&#8217;m walking around with a big bulls-eye on my back. I know many of the Left, especially Keith Olbermann, Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, the New York Times editorial staff and all the pundits at HuffPo and KOS would find that statement hilariously ironic, given the recent shooting deaths of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas and security guard Steven T. Johns at the Holocaust Museum. Then again, they&#8217;re not the ones being branded en masse as co-conspirators in those murders. Conservatives are.<span id="more-158758"></span></p>
<p>As a bonus, the recent <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&amp;address=385x324298">arrest</a> of Jason Bush, a national executive director of the Minuteman anti-illegal immigration group, for brutal murders committed during a home invasion, is also fueling the fire of portraying Righties as inherently violent extremists-in-waiting. Yet <a href="http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79129907.html">Cambodians</a> and other ethnic gangs pull violent home invasions against the vulnerable in their enclaves, which have included brutal murders, on a <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=X1OaAq6HD1wC&amp;pg=PA102&amp;lpg=PA102&amp;dq=cambodian+home+invasions&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=7n44Q5UwHz&amp;sig=sfdePIrwcgGaz5Gs1zpdbBy6Dsc&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=8bU2StPjMeiwtgeV_fj4Dg&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=8">regular basis</a>. No one&#8217;s calling them a threat to the Republic, or branding all Cambodians as inherently violent. They are, in fact, its greatest victims.</p>
<p>Curiously absent in the above blanket indictments of conservatives were the facts that the Holocaust Museum shooter, James von Brunn, was a radical anti-Semite and anti-conservative with a long history of attacking the Right, even going so far as attempting to kidnap President Reagan&#8217;s entire Federal Reserve Board back in the 1980s. He was also an ardent proponent of the &#8216;9/11 was an inside job&#8217; tinfoil conspiracy theory. In that respect, he has a lot more in common with Dylan Avery and Rosie O&#8217;Donnell than Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck.</p>
<p>Also curiously absent was the recent shooting death of Pvt. William Long and wounding of another soldier outside a Little Rock recruiting center by an anti-military Islamic convert. Again, that kind of hatred and violence toward the military has far more in common with Code Pink than FOX News. It was not radical conservatives who <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/14/seditious-outrage-in-olympia-protesters-block-trucks-pour-concrete-on-train-tracks-to-stop-military-shipments/">poured concrete</a> on military rail lines in Olympia, Washington, nothing less than an act of sabotage during wartime. Nor was it a right wing extremist who <a href="http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2008/03/improvised-bomb/">set off a bomb</a> in front of a Times Square Army recruiting office.</p>
<p>Yet I do not hold all the aforementioned esteemed MSM mouthpieces, or the Left as a whole, responsible for those violent and destructive acts. Nor do I hold the entire American Left responsible for FBI Most Wanted Terrorist Daniel Andreas San Diego&#8217;s bombings in San Francisco. Or the violent acts of other eco-terrorists, like the <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/03/animal-rights-terrorists-firebomb-scientists-car-home-in-santa-cruz/">firebombings</a> of scientists&#8217; homes while they and their families were still inside, or the burning down of research labs, car dealerships and housing developments which have caused hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. Or the highly destructive acts of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Liberation_Front">&#8216;elves&#8217;</a> of the Earth Liberation Front.</p>
<p>I also do not hold all left-leaning gay rights advocates responsible for the white powder mailings to Mormon churches by gay radicals. I do not hold the Left responsible for any those singular acts of violent left-wing extremist groups and individuals because of one simple fact: they all didn&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>Fact is, America has always been a land overflowing with nutjobs of all stripes. Sales of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook">Anarchist Cookbook</a> rival Betty Crocker&#8217;s. Some lone psychos have done incredible damage in all sorts of brutal and heinous ways. Lee Harvey Oswald. James Earl Ray. Timothy McVeigh. Theodore Kaczynski, aka the Unabomer. David Koresh. Andrew Cunanin. Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph. John Mohammed and Lee Boyd Malvo. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wakefield_Massacre">Michael McDermott</a>. Daniel Andreas <a href="http://http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/tersandiego_da.htm">San Diego</a>. And that&#8217;s not even counting serial killers like Ted Bundy, John Wanye Gacy and Henry Lee Lucas.</p>
<p>American law enforcement has their hands full. Always have. Sometimes they are successful in stopping extremists from attacking, as was the case with the Fort Dix Six and Bronx synagogue bombing <a href="http://newyork.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel09/nyfo052009.htm">plotters</a>, who also planned to shoot down military aircraft with Stinger missiles. In other not-so-fortunate circumstances law enforcement was left to deal with the violent aftermath, as was the case recently with the aforementioned Tiller, Holocaust Museum and Little Rock shootings.</p>
<p>There is, however, a distinct difference in America today regarding these lone nutjob killers that have plagued us throughout our history. They are now being politicized by the Left in much the same way Hitler manipulated the Reichstag Fire: to brand the entire mainstream conservative movement in the country as extremist threats to the Republic, requiring strong government intervention.</p>
<p>In other words, today we are all extremists.</p>
<p>Just ask Paul Krugman. Or <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/opinion/14rich.html?_r=1&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss">Frank Rich</a>. Or rest of the New York Times editorial staff in their &#8216;Hate Crimes and Extremist Politics&#8217; <a href="http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/hate-crimes-and-extremist-politics/">oped</a>. Want to see some real hate speech? Check out the comments sections of those Times posts. Those comments, as well as many other recent posts on left-wing blogs, reveal a stunning turnaround on the Left regarding political profiling, censorship, tapping phones and blanket monitoring of the Internet. I guess it all depends who&#8217;s being targeted. How quickly things change when it&#8217;s the Left running the show.</p>
<p>But all this is really nothing new. President Bill Clinton implied that Rush Limbaugh shared some culpability in the Oklahoma City bombings way back in 1995. Yet the degree to which the Mainstream Media and the Left is attacking the Right over these recent murders goes way beyond just implying. Those bloody corpses are being tossed right on the doorsteps of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O&#8217;Reilly, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and any other conservative pundit they can think of, as well as blanket condemnation and guilt by association of all their millions of listeners.</p>
<p>Noticeably absent also from this discussion of political extremism was the KILL BUSH <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2006/08/31/assassination-chic/">death cult</a> on the Left that screamed for the President&#8217;s blood and brutal murder for years. Or that most Lefties falsely accused President Bush of staging the worst terror attack in American history against his own citizens. I believe the subsequent bombings by Al Qaeda of London, Madrid, Bali, Iraq, Jordan, or any of the other 13,000-plus Islamist acts of terror since 9/11, put that subject to rest with all but the most dedicated conspiracy theorists. That is clearly Al Qaeda&#8217;s modus operandi, as it was way back in 1993 during the first attack on the WTC when Bill Clinton was President.</p>
<p>Also no mention of the Left&#8217;s David Dukes, the <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/253940">black supremacist</a>, hate-mongering Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/07/nyregion/07cnd-bicycle.html">bloodstained</a>, racebaiting and mayhem-inciting Rev. Al Sharpton. Or the Left&#8217;s unrepentant Timothy McVeighs, domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, now Leftie icons. You want to talk hateful, extremist, violence-inciting behavior and speech from the other side of the political spectrum? I guess not, huh, Paul? Rich? Keith? HuffPo? KOS?</p>
<p>See how it works? One eye open, one eye closed. Guess which eye is conveniently sewn shut.</p>
<p>Nothing new there, either. For decades the radical Left has engaged in, equivocated or looked the other way on egregious political behavior while at the same time painting all conservatives as extremists by, ironically, adopting extremist positions themselves. This political demonization of the conservative opposition has been flourishing on the Left under the Obama administration. Worse, that demonization has even been given credence and official sanction by such top government officials as David Axelrod and Janet Napolitano.</p>
<p>Now, as much as the Left howled about the Bushitler regime during the past eight years, when did Bush, Karl Rove or anyone else declare all Lefties a clear and present danger to the Republic, even when assassinating the President became a cultural fad in Leftie plays, books, movies, merchandising and art exhibits, egged on even by Air America&#8217;s Randy Rhodes simulation of President Bush&#8217;s assassination on the air?</p>
<p>Never mind how much the Left is freaking out now over James von Brunn. Can you imagine if the far right made a popular subculture out of assassinating President Obama to the degree Lefties did under President Bush? Or if Glenn Beck simulated the President&#8217;s assassination on the air, like Randy Rhodes did at Air America? They&#8217;d all be screaming for martial law and internment camps!</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t help but wonder. Now that the Left controls the media and all branches of government, do they see their golden opportunity to shut down the hated Right once and for all in this country? Perhaps only now we are finding out the Left&#8217;s true definition of unity: singularity of political thought and opinion, and the silencing of all the annoying competing ideologies. What should be vigorous and thoughtful political debate on important issues that concern us all is fast becoming an ideological pogrom. Dissenting views are no longer opposing opinions. They are now thoughtcrime.</p>
<p>This is not right wing extremist paranoia. The track record speaks for itself.</p>
<p>Example. I don&#8217;t dislike President Obama because he&#8217;s a Socialist raiding the Treasury and nationalizing private industry faster than Hugo Chavez. Or for <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/11/obama-plans-americorps-inspector-general-scandal/">firing</a> an Inspector-General without notifying Congress, in violation in a law he himself signed off on. Or that his Justice Department under Eric Holder just gave the baton-wielding &#8220;you will soon be ruled by the black man, cracker&#8221; Black Panther &#8216;poll monitor&#8217; thugs a total pass, despite a default conviction and the assessment by Mr. Bartle Bull, a former Robert Kennedy <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/05/who_pressured_justice_to_drop.html">campaign manager</a> and prominent election observer of the Civil Rights era calling it &#8220;the worst voter intimidation I&#8217;ve ever seen.&#8221;</p>
<p>And he monitored elections in the South during the Jim Crow era. How bad is that?</p>
<p>No, I don&#8217;t dislike the President for any of that. I hate him just because he&#8217;s black. In fact, if you&#8217;re a conservative these days, you have no valid reason to oppose anything other than mindless right wing hate and bigotry. You have no valid reason to protest President Obama&#8217;s spending us into financial oblivion. You are a redneck racist teabagger, and most likely a rabble-rousing neo-Nazi or white supremacist, according to a memo passed around by liberal Democrats in Congress.</p>
<p>You have no valid moral, social or religious reasons to oppose gay marriage. You&#8217;re a Nazi and a homophobe. Or <a href="http://thephoenix.com/Boston/News/16800-Nouveau-Jim-Crow/">Nouveau Jim Crow</a> KKK crackers, as the Boston Phoenix termed those opposing gay marriage. You have no valid reason to oppose Sonia Sotomayer. If you do, you&#8217;re a sexist and a racist, and you&#8217;d best tread carefully around her. Never mind anything she&#8217;s ever said or done, like upholding the blatantly discriminatory <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=re-_paP3lm4">Ricci decision</a> now before the US Supreme Court.</p>
<p>Never mind all that. She&#8217;s a wise Latina woman, and better than a white man. Watch your step!</p>
<p>You have no valid reason to oppose the millions of illegals flooding our country without procedure or proper criminal, medical or psychological screenings, as was done on Ellis Island, or support securing our borders as every other nation on earth does. You are a vile racist nationalist, just like that Minuteman killer Jason Bush. If you question the populist science of Global Warming that over 31,000 scientists <a href="http://www.nipccreport.org/">dispute</a>, or oppose any of the draconian taxes and regulations we are about to get slammed with via the Waxman-Markey bill, you are a heretic on the order of a Holocaust denier.</p>
<p>Never mind all the <a href="http://www.google.com/#hl=en&amp;q=record+low+temperatures+wide+2009&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=&amp;aqi=&amp;fp=q07gBlqSm5s">record low</a> temperatures worldwide, or the <a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/jtsimpson/2009/04/22/save-the-planet-shut-up-a-politician/">discrediting</a> of data presented by GW gurus Hansen and Gore as either defective or outright <a href="http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/hansen_september_the_hottest_october/">fraudulent</a>. Or the political power and financial riches &#8216;green&#8217; proponents like Al Gore and GE&#8217;s Jeffrey Immelt stand to gain that would dwarf Big Oil profits. I&#8217;m not saying that we should pollute the earth until we all choke from it, as GW True Believers will no doubt accuse me of. I&#8217;m just saying. Rational debate of the subject on the Left is nonexistent. As it is with most every political subject under the sun.</p>
<p>Is it really any surprise Michael Savage was banned from Britain for what is essentially thoughtcrime, given that government&#8217;s extreme left-wing bent? How soon before he is banned here, along with every other conservative pundit on the radio? But this is the mindset of today&#8217;s Left. If you do not agree with their extreme positions on the issues, you are branded as the worst kind of extremist yourself, publicly and repeatedly. Just as we conservatives are being painted right now with the same bloody brush of killers who committed acts 99.99999% of us would never dream of. That is not reasoned debate. It is ideologically driven hate and tyranny of thought.</p>
<p>That mindset makes no distinction between violence of speech, i.e. heated political rhetoric, which is Constitutionally protected, and violence of action and criminal speech, i.e. incitement to violence, which is not. It is that twisted perspective that made the assassinations of President Bush and VP Dick Cheney <a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/11169">humorous</a> and <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2006/08/31/assassination-chic/">chic</a>, yet responds to even the mildest criticism of President Obama by Rush Limbaugh with unbridled rage, <a href="http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/democrats_launch_petition_against_rush_limbaugh/">petitions</a> in Congress and demands to shut Rush up by hook or by crook, be it the Orwellian <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/258504">Fairness Doctrine</a> or in the name of <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/18/obamas-fcc-diversity-engineers-strike-again/">diversity</a>.</p>
<p>Lefties commit the most egregious of slanders, yet take violent offense at every slight real or imagined. The Left even codifies that double standard by turning the language on its head in Orwellian fashion to make political evils appealing. Tolerance becomes a pretty name for <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=34687">exclusion</a>, diversity a lofty term for <a href="http://www.catholic.org/national/national_story.php?id=30880">bigotry</a>. Censorship in the form of restrictive <a href="http://www.thefire.org/">speech codes</a> on college campuses around the country are enacted in the name of free speech.</p>
<p>But it doesn&#8217;t stop at the language. Abuse of authority and political power has become SOP on the Left. Cynthia Dixon was <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/255063">fired</a> from her job as a college human resources director for her contrary Christian opinion on homosexuality, voiced in a local paper&#8217;s editorial page in response to a lefty lesbian faculty member&#8217;s pro-gay oped in the same.</p>
<p>The lesbian faculty member&#8217;s job, however, was never in danger, even after spewing incredibly vile vitriol at Dixon, with included the obligatory &#8216;racist bigot homophobe!&#8217; Ironically, Cynthia Dixon is African-American. Where&#8217;s the EEOC when you need them? Unfortunately. Ms. Dixon is the wrong shade of black, i.e. Christian conservative. For more information on that subject, ref Michael Steele and Clarence Thomas. See, they&#8217;re not REAL minorities. They&#8217;re all Uncle Toms, don&#8217;t you know.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry, who are the racists here again?</p>
<p>Harvard president Larry Summers was run out of his job on a rail for repeating a research-supported but politically incorrect scientific <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2112570/">opinion</a> on how men&#8217;s and women&#8217;s brains may work differently. So much for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veritas">Veritas</a>. But science is not a factor to the Left. Politics and ideology is all. State-employed climatologists were fired in <a href="http://www.heartland.org/policybot/results/21207/Associate_State_Climatologist_Fired_for_Exposing_Warming_Myths.html">Washington</a> and <a href="http://newsbusters.org/node/10665">Oregon</a> for not toeing the Global Warming line. Lord Christopher Monckton, who holds an opposing view to Al Gore&#8217;s on Global Warming, was <a href="http://opntalk.blogspot.com/2009/04/lord-christopher-monckton-barred-from.html">shut out</a> of Congressional hearings the day after he flew over from England to testify.</p>
<p>See, to the egalitarian Left, all opinions are equal. It&#8217;s just that some are more equal than others.</p>
<p>The Left&#8217;s championing of women&#8217;s rights is also a sham. They routinely and publicly degrade women who don&#8217;t fit their ideological template. They publish and fall all over themselves laughing at a &#8216;Top Ten Conservative Women I&#8217;d Like To Hate-Fuck&#8217; rape list and slander Sarah Palin without end, even joking about her being <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/260071">gang-raped</a>. Carrie Prejean is derided as a fascist bitch and a cunt for voicing the same opinion on marriage as President Obama and most American citizens.</p>
<p>You see the pattern that&#8217;s emerging here? When has anyone on the Left been fired for expressing pro-gay views?  When has Al Gore ever been shut out of speaking, as Lord Monckton was by liberal Democrats in Congress? Or attacked physically, as routinely happens to Ann Coulter and other conservative speakers on college campuses like clockwork?</p>
<p>If you want to talk extremism, left-wing extremists in America have been guilty of some very serious crimes in the last decade, as highlighted above. Again, you won&#8217;t find any of those crimes in the New York Times extremist hit list. No, let&#8217;s forget about all that left-wing extremist mayhem and hold talk radio and FOX News responsible for the acts of politically twisted or mentally disturbed individuals, as they seek to hold all mainstream conservatives responsible today for every violent act committed by lone psychos.</p>
<p>You want to blame Bill O&#8217;Reilly for Dr. Tiller&#8217;s death? What if President Bush had been assassinated by some lone leftie nutjob while he was President? Who would have been responsible? The assassin? Or everyone on the Left who encouraged Bush&#8217;s assassination with relish and glee? What about the white powder mailings to the Mormon Church by radical gay activists? Should we start FBI surveillance on the Prop H8 crowd because of the extremist acts of a few?</p>
<p>Should we clamp down on all American Muslims because of the violence domestic jihadis plotted or carried out, as with Little Rock, Fort Dix and the recent attempted bombing of a New York synagogue? Why is all the focus on the right side of the political spectrum, and all of the evils of the extreme Left being totally whitewashed or ignored today? Don&#8217;t answer, it&#8217;s a rhetorical question.</p>
<p>I have to tell you, people. I&#8217;m really starting to fear for this country. Left-wing demagogues like Frank Rich, Paul Krugman, Keith Olbermann, the New York Times editorial board, and all the others in the so-called mainstream media, branding all conservatives with the same bloody brushes as lone wolf psychos that have long been a problem in this country and always will be, not to mention all the shutting down of political discourse by inspiring fear, hatred and intimidation against the minority party, are doing a lot more damage to the fabric of this society, and American democracy itself, than a James von Brunn ever could with a .22 rifle.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve got a radical right wing extremist idea. Why don&#8217;t we leave the nutjobs to law enforcement, and try to engage in the honored American tradition of healthy and vigorous political discourse without enacting new Nuremburg decrees or shredding the Constitution? Isn&#8217;t championing freedom of speech and expression and human rights what the Left is all about? So they say?</p>
<p>It is long past time for the Left to live up that credo. Because if the firings, shutting off of debate, censorship bills now in Congress, and the relentless demonization of the political opposition continues relentlessly and without end, as it has for so many years now, I&#8217;m just liable to think the dividing line between mainstream liberalism and the hate-filled totalitarian left-wing crowd has been virtually erased. You got all that, Paul? Frank? Pinchy? Keith? Janet? David? KOS? HuffPo?</p>
<p>GROW UP! I&#8217;m sick of dealing with a bunch of full-grown screaming control-freak toddlers! The Right isn&#8217;t going anywhere. In fact, our stars are ascending. FOX News and conservative blogs are putting the MSM out of business. And there&#8217;s a huge amount of discontent across the political spectrum over liberal Democrat policies since the Left took power.</p>
<p>The 2010 elections are starting to look a lot like 1994&#8217;s. And tell the truth, guys. Doesn&#8217;t that scare the hell out of you all a lot more than one or two lone shooters? And don&#8217;t just call me a right wing extremist. Let&#8217;s talk about the issues. I&#8217;m a reasonable guy. Don&#8217;t even own a gun. But just because I support the Second Amendment doesn&#8217;t make me a gun nut. I support it because it&#8217;s a Constitutional right. See how easy rational debate works? You all ought to try it sometime.</p>
<p>Last word. I opposed President Obama&#8217;s candidacy from the start. I disliked his polices, and I especially disliked his associations with real bomb-throwing extremists like Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and racial hatemongers like Rev. Wright. I spoke out on blogs like this for a year against candidate Obama, and everything he and liberal Democrats stood for.</p>
<p>Yet shortly after Obama was elected President in November, I noticed a security vulnerability that fell within my area of expertise and called the Secret Service right away. Fortunately, they knew all about it. See, despite my extreme distaste for President Obama&#8217;s policies and associations, the American people spoke loud and clear last November. Barack Obama is now President of the United States.</p>
<p>As such, he represents a hallowed tradition of political stability and continuity of a government and most benevolent political system that I hold sacred, and is the envy of much of the world. I defended that system for six years in uniform, and would defend it again if need be. How ironic I must vigorously defend it today against those who profess to be its greatest champions.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a right wing extremist for you, Lefties. Oh, and by the way, I and other conservatives like David Horowitz have <a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjQyOTgxM2M0YWMxOTdhZDcwMzlmMDU1ZGYxNzFkMmQ=">spoken out</a> <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/270140">loudly</a> against the extremists in our ranks. Where was the condemnation of unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers on the day after 9/11, when he said in the New York Times that he hadn&#8217;t <a href="http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/260881">done enough</a>? Why is he <a href="http://www.billayers.org/">revered</a> instead of reviled? Don&#8217;t answer, it&#8217;s a <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/opinion/Che-the-revolutionary-hero-Ruthless.4929683.jp">rhetorical</a> <a href="http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/03/huffington-post-jeremiah-wright-speaks.html">question</a>. But it does make me wonder who the real extremists are here.</p>
<p>After all, you don&#8217;t see the right <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0892255/">glorifying</a> politically-motivated <a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2007/11/05/the-victims-of-che-guevara/">mass murderers</a>. Hmm. Curious.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Letterman was just rising &#8211; earlier than you might think for a guy who&#8217;s show is on late enough for college partiers and &#8220;freelancers&#8221; to enjoy without fear of feeling tired the next day. You&#8217;d think that only if you didn&#8217;t know the show is taped earlier in the day &#8211; and what was taped this week certainly stirred the pot.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/carson-letterman.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-159262  aligncenter" src="http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/files/2009/06/carson-letterman-300x177.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="177" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;You think maybe you would have edited that, David?&#8221; Mr. Carson asked, standing in the lavish bathroom.</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean your producer had the time. They could have cut it, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>Carson looked very young. Circa &#8216;66 young.</p>
<p>Letterman was incredulous.  &#8220;Johnny&#8230; what the heck are you doing here, how can this be possible?” the aging late night host queried.<span id="more-158830"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;I am here to see you, Letterman,&#8221; Johnny said, flicking some lint off his attractive form-fitting suit. &#8220;You always made a big deal about honoring me, and uh, flattering me with your praise. I feel I owe it to you&#8230; in your time of trouble&#8230; to try to help you out.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Johnny, come on, you&#8217;re a class act, this ghost business is beneath you&#8230; and why haunt me, are you one of them now? Are you a conservative operative?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Class act?  What would you know about class these days, David? You&#8217;re an entertainer and you&#8217;re acting like a nut on a crusade to destroy the Republican Party.</p>
<p>This stuff ain&#8217;t funny, David, shame on you, not so much for the specific comments, but for abandoning your talent as a comedian and crossing over to become a wacky pundit like that Olbermann bozo.</p>
<p>And speaking of clowns, David, it&#8217;s always so sad when a clown gets old, but it&#8217;s pathetic when the clown gets old and mean.&#8221;</p>
<p>Letterman looked at Carson with anger now and Carson seemed to be bizarrely morphing between younger Johnny and the older retired-age Johnny. Letterman shook his head and chuckled, “Wow, the band must have slipped me some funny stuff&#8230;”</p>
<p>&#8220;Ah yes, the band/drug shtick,&#8221; Johnny smiled, &#8220;That stuff always worked.&#8221;</p>
<p>“David, you&#8217;re getting close to retirement. Your legacy should have been, <em>&#8216;Funny man retires, wow what a great run,’</em> but now I fear soon it&#8217;s going to be, <em>&#8216;Nasty late night host retires.’</em> The way you viciously attacked McCain, now Palin, what gives, man? It&#8217;s just plain mean. Why are you so angry?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay nobody talks to me like that, not even you, Johnny.  I&#8217;ll have to ask you to leave now,&#8221; Letterman said without looking Carson in the eye.</p>
<p>“I will, David, but just indulge me for another moment; I am here because of you, you called me. Maybe the younger you. You can chase me, but you might also be chasing the only one who can help you now; the comedian who knows when he&#8217;s made a mistake and can laugh at himself. If you forget to laugh at yourself, my friend, you will surely leave that job to others.</p>
<p>Using her daughters in that way is just wrong. It stinks, man. It&#8217;s just plain ugly… and mean.</p>
<p>David, I am going, but remember the younger man who used to be funny over at NBC called me. Search your soul, I think you&#8217;ll find him there, let him out, I think he may want to make a real apology.”</p>
<p>With that, the steam from the shower seemed to form a flowing curtain behind Carson. Johnny then started walking stage right, faked a trip, smiled, waved, and faded into the morning light.</p>
