Rush FAT Limbaugh Declares McChrystal Issue a “Circus” to Boost Obama: On Wednesday’s edition of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Rush spent most of his time criticizing the media. He began by claiming that President Obama has been using the controversy surrounding Gen. Stanley McChrystal to “distract from all the negative economic news.” He continued by deriding media figures who compared Obama to President Truman, claiming that they are doing everything they can to elevate Obama’s status. Limbaugh further blasted the media by suggesting that they don’t support “liberty,” “the Constitution,” or “American exceptionalism.” [ READ MORE ]
….and, Sean KLANnity deceptively edited comments President Obama made during a 2007 Senate hearing to falsely accuse Obama of “attacking General [David] Petraeus.” In fact, in comments cropped out of the video, Obama made clear his criticism was directed at President Bush and was “not a criticism” of Petraeus.

Columnist – John Sammon Did you see where NASA (stands for, no a-hole bigger than a scientist a-hole), the spaced-out agency that wastes your tax dollars, crashed a rocket into the moon? It reminds me of an old racist slogan about Latino immigrants.
If they (immigrants) can’t eat it or steal it, they paint it (graffiti).
The statement for NASA ought to be, if they can’t control it or exploit it, they bomb it.
The military industrial colossus and its technocrat lackeys, not content with attacking impoverished countries for their oil in the Middle East under the guise of bringing to justice a Saudi Arabian (Bin Laden) by attacking other countries other than Saudi Arabia because we love the Saudi royal family. No. Not content with that, they are now bombing holes in celestial bodies, ostensibly to explore the possibility of water on the moon.
The United States has attacked more countries since 1900 than any other country. The United States has the biggest arms budget and is the biggest arms merchant in the world, all the while professing peace and nobility. The United States views other countries who threaten to attack as outlaw states and labels them as “rogue” nations.
But it’s okay for the United States to launch wars because the United States is always in the right. Now, as if that isn’t enough, the United States, in its infinite corporate fascist wisdom, has decided to attack the F..’ckin’ poor helpless moon.
I have this message for NASA. You bunch of white-coated cowards. You can’t even get it up, or grow hair on your chest. You won’t spend a nickel on a decent second-hand computer for a run down inner-city school, but you spend billions to punch a hole in the moon. I bet if angry people came down there to your windowless bunker where you plan your operations, you’d hide under your desk shaking with a slide rule in your hand.
What’s the moon ever done to you?
Oh I know. If we can somehow guess that there was once water on the moon, we’ll be able to say, hey! There was once water on the moon. That will really help us down here. Nearly half of every ten Americans are now living in poverty. We don’t want to focus any effort on doing anything about it.
Just remember the extreme right wing credo, if it’s money spent on bombing someone, anyone, no matter how many billions, then it’s patriotism, but if it’s money spent on helping people, it’s disloyal communism and subversion. Thus, a right wing extremist knows the cost of some things, and the value of nothing.
So what if we blow a hole in the moon? That was a hole that wasn’t there before. All the right wingers claim they know God personally. God created the moon, didn’t he? Then we come along, and defaced it.
We’re proud of ourselves. We love nothing better than gadgets, things. We don’t care about people, just gizmos. If we can punch a hole in the moon, we’re tough, we’re better than others. We dominate. If we can do it to the moon, anybody we don’t like down here better watch out.
Is there any way we can now pollute the moon like we’ve done our oceans? NASA will find a way. We can store our garbage on the moon. Then, we can pound our chest like apes and say, there was once water on the moon, and now our garbage is on the moon. We conquered the moon.
Just let it go. You’re too busy bombing the moon. The United States is also engaged in bombing two other countries under the guise of installing freedom.
Based on its use of bombing as an instrument of foreign policy and its hypocritical pandering to the arrogant philosophy that the United States is infallible and thus incapable of error, and the fact that the United States has in the last century out-bombed everybody else, but doesn’t want other countries to copy our lead and develop bombs. And to now include in the bombing extra-terrestrial bodies such as the moon.
Based on this display of arrogant, sonofabitch, craven cowardly, dishonest, ivory-tower, holier-than-thou, ruthless corporate, chauvinistic, values-twisted, greedy, lying, Roman-Empire-style act of pillage and hooliganism, defacing the moon.
I would like to see the United Nations (UN) formerly declare the United States to be a dangerous aggressor nation.
The United States, if it didn’t rule the world, would be forced to pay a fine and to repair the damage it has done to the moon, and to formally admit that this was an act of simple vandalism, as well as twisted, misdirected values.
Corsi is the author of “The Obama Nation,” the book with which he tried to derail Obama’s election — and which he tried peddling in Kenya — and was promptly deported by the Kenyan authorities.
Jerome Corsi is a vile, bigoted smear-peddler. In 2004, Corsi helped launch the Swift Boat smear campaign with a book of distortions and lies he wrote about John Kerry, who did not fight back effectively. When he tried the same on President Obama, he was rebuffed vigorously. Corsi and his right-wing backers were counting on Obama not fighting back. Obviously his tactic of spreading lies and desperate fabrications about Obama in order to elect John McCain and continue George Bush’s failed policies, failed miserably.
Now, again, this rodent is sticking out his snout — smelling the sweet HOT SHIT steaming at Sean Hannity’s “Fixed News” studios.
Corsi: “Obama is post-American,” “he puts down American exceptionalism“
Corsi is “optimistic” his conspiracy theories won’t come to pass because tea partiers oppose them
Hannity lets Corsi explain why his black helicopter G-20/IMF/”global new deal” claims aren’t a “conspiracy“
Do not confuse Free-Speech with Hate-Speech. When this SLOB Beck speaks, it is exclusively HATE speech.
Joan Walsh:Is GOP using race to block Obama agenda? Ya think? — There is one main reason the U.S. doesn’t have the social democratic traditions and programs enjoyed by most Western democracies — we are the only such nation without some kind of universal healthcare — and that reason is our history of ethnic, racial and class strife. (The bounty of the eternal frontier and American exceptionalism fit in there too, but I’d pick our fractious and well-manipulated heterogeneity as the top reason.) The irony is the last 50 years have seen brutal class warfare in which the forces behind the wealthy transferred income and privilege consistently upward. Yet now the forces of reaction are claiming Obama is the class warrior, and the race warrior, declaring war on whites, and trying to snatch the status-quo privileges — like healthcare, allegedly — from the haves, to provide for unworthy have nots.

Should Beck apologize for his comments?: An Ed Show panel debates whether Fox News' Glenn Beck should be forced to apologize for calling President Barack Obama a racist.
1. Too Hot for Fox News: "In its anti-Obama hysteria, Fox has mainstreamed voices once relegated to the fever swamps. This is most immediately clear in the apocalyptic buffoonery of Glenn Beck, and in the way the network has indulged the delusions of the so-called birthers, who insist that Obama was born in Kenya and thus can't legally be president. Yet that's just scratching the surface. On the weekly, hour-long Freedom Watch, which began airing in February, Fox gives its imprimatur to the kind of rhetoric once confined to the short-wave radio broadcasts of militia movements. After eight years of championing increased executive power, the network now hosts a show whose anti-government fixation sometimes leads to cheerful talk of dissolving the United States and dark warnings of impending tyranny.

The Rumors: McCain aides were terrified of Palin’s lack of knowledge of international, national, and even basic civic issues. An angry aide characterized Palin’s shopping sprees as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast.“
1. Palin once answered the hotel room door to greet two staffers while wearing nothing but a bathrobe.
2.Palin was pranked like a FOOL — by two canadian comedians – Ms. Palin appeared to believe that she was talking to President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, even though the prankster had a flamboyant French accent and spoke to her in a more personal way than would be protocol in such a call. At one point, he told Ms. Palin that she would make a good president some day. ‘Maybe in eight years,‘ she replied.
3. Palin didn’t know africa is a continent — She thought that Africa is a single country.
5. She didn’t know the names of the countries that comprised NAFTA.
6. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was rightly panned as a disaster.
7.Newsweek reports that Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One aide estimated that she spent “tens of thousands” more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband.
An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.
How He Did It: A team of NEWSWEEK reporters reveals the secret battles and private fears behind an epic election.
PART 1 OF 7 — This is part one of a seven-part in-depth look behind the scenes of the campaign, consisting of exclusive behind-the-scenes reporting from the McCain and Obama camps assembled by a special team of reporters who were granted year-long access on the condition that none of their findings appear until after Election Day.
