Embarrassing Photo Surfaces of Libby Mitchell

Libertarian Republican h/t – connected with: Who Is This Woman and What Is She Holding?

[In this video, Democrat Libby Mitchell] can be heard in the video saying: “As Governor you have to be respectful of the President… at all times.”

LePage shot back saying he had seen a photo of Mitchell holding a sign saying George Bush was an “International Terrorist.” In the video, Mitchell completely denies such a photo exists. The next day, a right-leaning blog As Maine goes… published the photo. Now, all of Maine’s media (and New England) is abuzz over Mitchell’s blunder. Mitchell issued a statement of apology late yesterday.

N.O.W. supports men who call women whores

Carol Platt Liebau points out the obvious hypocrisy in the modern – progressive – feminist movement.

The day after he (or a member of his staff) is caught on tape calling Meg Whitman a whore, Jerry Brown has announced the endorsement of the National Organization of Women (NOW).

You know, it’s fashionable in feminist circles tosit around  bemoaning the fact that few young women want to identify themselves as feminists.

Wanna know why?  This kind of hypocrisy is the reason why.  It’s OK with NOW, supposedly an organization devoted to the equal and respectful treatment of women for Jerry  Brown to call his opponent — an accomplished woman, and more importantly, any woman — a “whore.”  It’s OK with NOW for Bill Clinton to engage in sexual harassment of an intern in The White House, and possibly worse in his pre-presidential days.  It’s OK with NOW to allow Sarah Palin to be denigrated in the cheapest, lowest and most sexist ways.

NOW has nothing to do with women’s rights, or the proper treatment of women.  They are simply shills for abortion and big government.  They ought to admit it and take the word “Women” out of their name, because they no more stand for “women” in general than President Obama stands for small government and low taxes.

Women — and men — are on to NOW’s racket.  That’s why their endorsement means nothing.  They’re just political hacks.  What young woman in her right mind would want to be associated with such cheap political opportunism?


Alan Colmes~Christians Would Kill if Bible is Burned.

Quote:

If we were to burn the Bible, if we were to actually have a bunch of Muslims or one Muslim somewhere doing a Bible burning, I bet you would have a very similar reaction from Christians who would be equally offended. And who knows what kind of death threats might come to that Muslim?

Muslims cannot even mark their Qur’ans with any pencil, pen, or highlighter. I have seen people put their Bible on the ground and stand on it saying, “this Bible makes promises, and i stand on these promises as my foundation.” This would never be tolerated by a Muslim, and if done to a Qur’an in a Muslim country, expect jail time, beatings, and possibly death. The Qur’an must be placed at the highest point in the Muslim house, my Bibles are on my bottom bookcase shelf for easy access while sitting on my coach. There is an unhealthy attribution given to this book, not to mention the medias mischaracterization of events that ITSELF inflame the Muslim mind. Now, IF a christian would react the same way — equally offended — is Colmes ever equally offended by the actions between a Muslim and a Christian? Hmmmm.

It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats,

While teacher’s union pensions swell like pirate booty chests, kids have to bring toilet paper to school. Our property tax money used to buy restroom supplies, now it funds go-nothing union teachers.

I was born and raised in Detroit and know first hand the poverty there (and the racism).
