Follow this link to view an effective video attack on Barack Obama. The video is well done and features footage of Jeremiah Wright’s GD America, um, sermon, interspersed with 9/11 footage, including some of those still-horrendous, still-haunting images of people leaping to their deaths from the WTC.  One of the more surprising aspects of this particular video is that it appears at a Dim site. Even more surprising than that: the video was posted there by a Hillbillary supporter, ostensibly because if the Dims do not say it, the GOP will. Well worth checking out…

 

To kno-o-ow Hill is to loa-o-oathe Hill...

And few people know Hillbillary any better than Dick Morris, campaign advisor for Bill Clinton’s successful 1996 reelection bid.

Hillary’s list of lies

Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here’s her scorecard:
 
Admitted Lies

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn’t cover the market back then.)

Whoppers She Won’t Confess To

• She didn’t know about the FALN pardons.
• She didn’t know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
• She didn’t know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
• She didn’t know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
• She opposed NAFTA at the time.
• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
• She played a role in the ’90s economic recovery.
• The billing records showed up on their own.
• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
• She was always a Yankees fan.
• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there). 

With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward? END EXCERPT, which appears courtesy The Hill.

Mark Steyn, on one of those Hillbillary lies:

The defining fiction arose back in the mid-Nineties when she visited New Zealand and met Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Everest, and for some reason decided to tell him he was the guy her parents had named her after.

Hmm. Edmund Hillary reached the top of Everest in 1953. Hillary Rodham was born in 1947, when Sir Edmund was an obscure New Zealand beekeeper and a somewhat unlikely inspiration for two young parents in the Chicago suburbs. If any of the bigshot U.S. newspaper correspondents on the trip noticed this inconsistency, they kept it to themselves. I mentioned it in Britain's Sunday Telegraph at the time, but like so many other improbabilities in the Clinton record it sailed on indestructibly for years. By 2004 it was preserved for the ages in Bill Clinton's autobiography, on page (gulp) 870:

"Sir Edmund Hillary, who had explored the South Pole in the 1950s, was the first man to reach the top of Mount Everest and, most important, was the man Chelsea's mother had been named for."

Eventually, when it was noticed that Hillary was born six years before the ascent of Everest, Clinton aides tried assuring skeptics that her parents had seen a press interview with Sir Edmund in his beekeeping days, Mr. and Mrs. Rodham apparently being the only Illinois subscribers to The New Zealand Apiarist. Then, in the early days of her presidential campaign, Sen. Clinton quietly withdrew the story, by which time the damage was done. Edmund Hillary passed away a couple of months back, and, as I recall, the New York Times headline read:

"New Zealander For Whom Sen. Clinton Named Dies; Also First Man To Climb Everest. Sen. Clinton Was At The Summit To Greet Him, After Landing Under Heavy Sniper Fire From The Abominable Snowman."

And more from Steyn, this time on the protracted battle between Obama and Hillbillary:

Alas, Sen. Sir Edmund Hillary Danger Rodham Clinton couldn't have foreseen that the Democratic primary season would dwindle down to the Palm Beach recount replayed as a civil war: Two 50-50 candidates slugging it out, but both Democrats – and so the party's formidable skills at the politics of personal destruction and its fierce determination to win at all costs are now turned in on itself: As Edwin Glover said of the British defenses at Singapore, the guns are pointing the wrong way. END EXCERPT

Scholars and diplomats who have closely studied civil wars describe them almost as forces of nature, grinding on until the parties exhaust themselves, shredding bonds that cannot be stitched back together even long years after the killing stops. James Fearon

Here’s hoping the Dims spiral out of control and into civil war, wherein Fearon’s assertion about irreparable damage is borne out…

The Hillinator: Badly damaged, and daily taking more hits, but not totally out of commission. It will not stop until it completes its mission or is totally destroyed in the process...

Giving Team Hillbillary hope is the potential for fallout from Obama’s association with Tony Rezko scandal. And this week Obama has been put on the defensive over controversial remarks made by Jeremiah A. Wright, Reverend of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama has attended Trinity United for twenty years; Wright married Barack and Michelle Obama and christened the Obama’s daughters.  

Obama has been particularly weak in his attempts to explain his ongoing association with Wright who, among other things has:

·        Blamed the US government for creating the AIDS virus, which was ostensibly developed to kill blacks.

·        Asserted that 9/11 was America’s comeuppance for US foreign policy.

·        Suggested that American blacks should not sing “God Bless America”, but instead should sing “God D*mn America”.

Check out Ronald Kessler’s Op-Ed piece in today’s Opinion Journal for more on Wright and his pal Louis Farrakhan. 

Obama has mildly criticized Wright’s remarks, though his denunciation seems somewhat insincere. Obama compared Wright to “an old uncle who sometimes will say things that I don't agree with."

Relative or no, it is a pretty safe bet that many Americans, me among them, would head for the door the first time they heard anyone spouting racist or anti-American rhetoric. And, as others have pointed out, one may not be able to choose his uncle, but one can choose his friends; or his minister. Obama had a choice, yet he stayed….for twenty years. 

And Wright remains an advisor and “sounding board” to Obama.

In religion as in politics, leadership is about saying and doing things that resonate with the constituency. Essentially, we tend to follow and support people whose values we share. I wonder which part of Wright’s racist, divisive teachings so strongly resonate with Barack Obama (the great uniter) that he has stayed with the church for more than two decades….

Just wondering: How does Barack Obama’s mother, a white woman, feel about her son’s willingness to remain close to a man who has spent so much time and energy attacking whites?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported earlier this week that this year’s average winter temperatures are two-tenths of one degree above the average for the twentieth century. Yet this year’s temps are the lowest since 2001.

The report also noted “record Northern Hemisphere snow cover in January and above-average snow cover in February”.   

Television’s “big three”, ABC, CBS and NBC, have remained very quiet about the NOAA report. Does this merely reflect the big three’s lack of interest in global warming?

According to a recent study by BMI:

Over the last 6 months of 2007, the big three did 205 stories on global warming.

On the three networks, 80 percent of stories (167 out of 205) didn’t mention skepticism or anyone at all who dissented from global warming alarmism. CBS did the absolute worst job. Ninety-seven percent of its stories (34 out of 35) ignored other opinions. Williams’ own network, NBC, came in a close second with 85 percent (76 out of 89) excluding skepticism. ABC was the most balanced network, but still censored dissent from 64 percent of its stories (34 out of 53).

(P)eople with alternative views barely got face time on the networks. Instead, they received insults and hostile questions.

Journalists also called skeptics “deniers,” conjuring images of Holocaust deniers, and cast them as flat-earthers – ironically forgetting that there was once a scientific consensus that the earth was flat.

*************************************

Speaking of MSM bias, Newsbusters reports that it took awhile for the big three to get around to mentioning that Eliott Spitzer is a Dim:

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, substitute NBC Nightly News anchor Ann Curry and reporter Mike Taibbi failed to identify disgraced outgoing New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as a Democrat, but on Thursday night Curry finally informed NBC viewers of the party affiliation -- a fact network journalists always consider relevant when a Republican gets caught in scandalous behavior.  SNIP

For the record, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric cited Spitzer's party on Monday and Wednesday nights while ABC's World News didn't until Wednesday evening.

The morning shows have completely blacked out the fact Spitzer is a Democrat.   END EXCERPT

*************************************

For what it's worth: The same media suppressing dissent about global warming, and dragging its heels in citing Eliot Spitzer’s political affiliation is the same MSM covering Barack Obama…

*************************************

New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer has admitted that he has been involved in a prostitution ring. This is the same man who when he was attorney general went after the prostitution rings. So apparently for not giving him good service . . . Jay Leno

If Gov. Spitzer resigns over his prostitution scandal, he will reportedly go into private practice as a lawyer. When asked why he wanted to practice law again, Spitzer said, “I like businesses where you charge by the hour and screw your clients."  Conan O’Brien

Earlier today, the governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, resigned. In his resignation speech he said, "To whom much has been given, much is expected." Which is the same thing he said to that $5,000-an-hour hooker.  Jay Leno

Political experts say that before the scandal, Hillary Clinton had considered him for a possible running mate. Now, Hillary is considering Spitzer as a possible husband. Conan O’Brien
