…GLENN BECK – NRA STAND AND FIGHT RALLY
.
Odd, immediately after every terror attack or mass shooting, the Left goes straight for the blame Conservative bloggers, politicians, talk host card. They try to blame the NRA, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Ted Cruz, Rush, the Tea Party, etc. They do not wait for evidence before jumping off the Cliff of Conclusions. But, when the evidence begins to be discovered, and they are proven wrong, AGAIN, they immediately launch into do not jump to conclusion mode. Donald Douglas sums them up this way
Leftists truly are the scum of political life.
At Twitchy, “Backpedal-palooza: Left no longer wants to speculate about bombers’ motives.”
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. Take David Sirota for example. After writing that he NEEDED the Boston terrorists to be White, after writing that it would be good if they were White, after making it ALL about race, Sirota has changed his tune
Our reaction to terrorism shouldnt be predicated on the demography of the terrorists. Sad that bigotry apparently obscures this simple truth
Egads, does this buffoon NOT recall writing the piece at Salon? Again, this is why I refer to Liberalism as an Ideology of convenience. They can just change their tune on a whim. But there is more from David
While media is trying not to assert motive, you’ll notice that nobody on TV is making ANY effort to respect a basic presumption of innocence
Now these terrorists who committed a monstrous act are victims in this idiot’s twisted, morally retarded mind, oh but it gets better!
Tweets/emails celebrating fact that suspects are (allegedly) Muslim suggests many white people were hoping that was the case. Question: Why?
So, he can write a column, based on nothing BUT holding out hope that the suspects would be White, but if anyone points out that these two are Muslims, well that is RAAAAACIST! And Sirota has company on the Hypocrisy Express. Check out Sally Kohn’s Tweet
Those rushing to assume motives based on where these guys were from would be cautioning restraint if suspects were from rural Montana
Actually Sally if they were from Montana YOU would be beating the door down to blame Conservatives, and Sirota would likely have had an orgasm over such news. I also love how Sally Kohn is apparently oblivious to the fact that radical Muslims tend to commit far more terror attacks than those Montana folks do. Jim Treacher has the best response to this
The people who’ve been aching for the #BostonMarathon bombing to be motivated by ideas they hate will now shame you for discussing motive.
BINGO!
Stacy McCain lays into Crazy legs Matthews and his penchant for being RONGG!
You can call Chris Matthews anything you want — “dimwitted political hack” would be entirely appropriate — but please don’t insult an entire profession by calling Chris Matthews a “journalist.”
Very true. Matthews is a hack, and always has been. McCain explains Crazy Legs’ latest bout with News Speculation Syndrome
On March 30, Kaufman County, Texas, district attorney Mike McLelland and his wife were shot to death at their home. Five days later, Chris Matthews invited Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center onto MSNBC to promote speculation that McLelland’s murder was committed by the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang.
In other words, the important thing about this crime — the thing that made it worth eight minutes of national network air time — was that it gave Chris Matthews a chance to stoke the paranoia of MSNBC viewers with the bogeyman specter of dangerously violent racists who (as all MSNBC viewers know) are the core constituency of the Republican Party.
Of course, as is often the case, Matthews jumped to conclusions. In this case he wanted any excuse to bash Senator Ted Cruz and any other Republican to oppose Dear Leader’s Leftist agenda. And, again, Matthews got it completely WRONG!
Fast-forward 11 days, and Chris Matthews is completely discredited by the latest headlines:
- KTVT: Sources: JP Eric Williams To Be Charged With Murders In Kaufman County
- Dallas Morning News: Ex-justice of peace is prime suspect in Kaufman DA slayings
- Dallas Morning News: Complex picture arises of ex-Kaufman justice of peace eyed in case
- London Daily Mail: Mystery Texas killings ‘solved’: Disgraced court official to be charged with murders of Texas district attorney, his wife and assistant DA after they convicted him of theft
- Pat Dollard: Update: Disgraced Government Official, Not Aryan Brotherhood, Killed Texas Prosecutors
What? It wasn’t scary white supremacists highlighted in an eight-minute MSNBC segment? Nobody that Mark Potok warned us about? Not even a Tea Party member? No, a disgraced lawyer with a personal grudge:
And of course, now that the truth is out, Matthews will not man up and correct his fantasy will he? Hell no! Like many leftists, Matthews makes wild accusations to smear people he disagrees with, and when he is proven wrong? He just moves on to the next smear. That is what is most fascinating about Leftist walk behinders like Obamagasm Boy Matthews. The thought never occurs to them that if they must resort to lying to win an argument, then they are on the wrong side of life. Maybe it would be more fitting to say that Matthews is on the wrong side of reality.
Speaking of being on the wrong side of reality. Look at the screen cap Stacy got of Crazy legs and Potok The guy honestly looks like the guy who gets cut off at noon at your local dive bar, you know the guy, he will buy you a drink the “next time” if you get him one today. He is also the douche nozzle who demands the bartender pour him a “good shot”, when he never ever tips.
Cruz: Let’s See if Obama’s Willing To Shutdown Gov’t To Fund Obamacare – CNS
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced an amendment on Wednesday that would cut off all funds for Obamacare, a step he said Republicans should support and, if it were to pass in the House as well, could be sent to President Barack Obama to see if he’s “willing to try to shut the government down” over funding of the Affordable Care Act.
“I think it’s the right position for Republicans to be taking,” Cruz told CNSNews.com. “And I think it would be exactly the right decision to then send it back to Harry Reid and President Obama and ask if Harry Reid and President Obama are willing to try to shut the government down in order to insist that Obamacare be fully funded now, even though it could well push us into a recession.”
“I think that is an important stand for principle that makes a difference in the lives of those who are struggling the most,” said the senator.
On Wednesday, Cruz introduced his de-fund Obamacare amendment to the continuing resolution (CR), which is a massive “must-pass” bill to keep the government funded for the rest of this fiscal year, from late March through the end of September.
Last week, the Republican-controlled House passed a $982-billion CR, but the GOP leadership set the rule and did not allow the must-pass CR to include language prohibiting funding for Obamacare or for de-funding the controversial Obamacare mandate that requires nearly all health plans to offer contraceptives, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs without co-payments.
Though he said he does not expect his amendment to pass in the Senate, which is majority-Democrat, Cruz said it is “entirely beneficial” to have a conversation about the impact of Obamacare on economic growth.
He also encouraged House Republicans to “stand for principle” and force the president and the Senate to shut down the government over funding the health care law.
During a press conference on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Cruz why the Republicans in the House did not attempt to defund the law.
“You just said this amendment isn’t likely to pass because the Republicans don’t control the Senate,” CNSNews.com asked. “But the Republicans control the House. And they decided to not try to defund Obamacare in the CR. Why do you think they didn’t put that in and do you think they should have?”
“Well, legislation can be an iterative process,” Cruz said. “And one of the benefits, I believe, of debating and voting on this amendment today is that if Republicans stand together – I hope we will – there is a very good chance the continuing resolution will be amended in the Senate in some way and sent back to the House.”
“So, the House is going to have another shot at this,” he said.
“And I would certainly be very encouraged if the House, when they get the continuing resolution back, made the decision to include precisely this amendment to defund Obamacare,” Cruz continued. “I think it’s the right position for Republicans to be taking.”
“And I think it would be exactly the right decision to then send it back to Harry Reid and President Obama and ask if Harry Reid and President Obama are willing to try to shut the government down in order to insist that Obamacare be fully funded now even though it could well push us into a recession,” he said.
“I think that is an important stand for principle that makes a difference in the lives of those who are struggling the most,” said Cruz.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), also at the press conference, said, “I would add, again to reiterate, this was the very first vote they took in the House of Representatives this year, in this Congress. And so it’s important that we make sure that we have a vote here [in the Senate] on that.”
“It’s not always easy for us in the minority to get votes that we think are important,” he said. “But it is easier for the minority in the Senate than it is in the House.”
“This is an opportunity that we have to make sure that this vote happens and it makes sense to have this vote now in connection with the CR,” Lee said.
House Republicans have symbolically voted to repeal Obamacare more than 30 times in legislation that does not need to pass. However, every time they have enacted legislation that must-pass to keep the government funded, they have declined to include language that would repeal all or any part of Obamacare or that would withhold funding for all or any part of Obamacare.
Last week, as CNSNews.com previously reported, when the Republican-controlled House took up the $982-billion continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through September, the legislation did include language prohibiting the administration from buying foreign-made ball bearings but it did not include language limiting the implementation of Obamacare.
The CR, for example, did not include language to prevent the administration from moving forward with a regulation that requires health-care plans to provide cost-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs – a regulation that dozens of Christian organizations and businesses have sued the federal government to stop, arguing that it violates their First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion.
Cruz’s amendment to the CR is called the “Restore Growth First” amendment, and it currently has 13 senatorial co-sponsors, all of them Republicans.

Because, McCarthy, was, as Stacy McCain points out, was RIGHT! Oh, and so is Ted Cruz
Democrats and the major news media — but I repeat myself – have decided that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s opposition to the Chuck Hagel nomination makes him the “New McCarthy.”
And they say that like it’s a bad thing.
Sen. Joseph McCarthy has been unjustly and dishonestly maligned for so long that even many conservative Republicans nowadays use “McCarthyism” as a slur, without any real understanding of who the man was, or what he was trying to accomplish.
Intellectuals who today think of themselves as the rightful heirs of William F. Buckley Jr. often seem to forget that the second book Buckley wrote, after God and Man at Yale, was McCarthy and His Enemies, which Buckley co-authored with his brother-in-law Brent Bozell (father of Brent Bozell III, who is today head of the Media Research Center). Buckley knew, as do all honest and intelligent students of the Cold War era, that even if one stipulates McCarthy made mistakes and had unfortunate personality traits, he was really a better man than his vindictive critics, and certainly more sincerely patriotic than the Communist enemies he sought to expose.
Ah, but for the accurate teaching of history! The Left’s version of history is always, edited, re-written, spun, sanitized, or completely fallacious. Sadly, as Stacy points out, many folks are victimized by the Left’s “re-invented history”. This is a tremendous post go read the whole thing, but here is a small sample of how the Left uses “invented history”
McCarthy vs. ‘McCarthyism’— Propagandists of the Left, including journalists and academics, have made Joe McCarthy a symbol of things for which he was not even remotely responsible. Joe McCarthy did not create a “Red Scare.” Concerns about Communist penetration of the federal government, and about Soviet espionage, existed before anyone outside Wisconsin had ever heard of Joe McCarthy. He was not responsible for “blacklisting” anyone in Hollywood or getting Communist teachers fired from public schools. Investigations of Communist subversion undertaken by the FBI and the House Committee on Un-American Activities preceded Joe McCarthy’s arrival in the Senate and continued for years after McCarthy was dead and buried in a Wisconsin grave. However, by demonizing McCarthy, and making him a scarecrow symbol for alleged wrongs that he had nothing to do with, leftists have attached to McCarthy’s name a radioactive taint that makes it difficult for people to separate the complex Man from the simplistic Myth.
Bingo. the Left habitually uses this tactic to smear, and demonize its opponents. The Tea Party, Conservatives, the NRA, Christians, gun owners, etc. They attach such stigmas to any topic they do not wish to be challenged on, that many fear even broaching those topics.
That is, after all, what PC is all about, it is also about thought control, intimidation, speech control, censorship, and creating an environment where the Left cannot be challenged. Stacy McCain elaborates
Yesterday, I saw Chris Matthews on MSNBC’s Hardball rant for 10 minutes about Sen. Ted Cruz as a latter-day Joe McCarthy for having dared to ask questions about possible ties between Hagel and foreign governments. Chuck Hagel isn’t just some random citizen who has been grabbed off the street for interrogation about his loyalties.
No, Chuck Hagel is under consideration as Secretary of Defense, and the Senate therefore has every right — indeed, it has a solemn duty — to investigate his associations with groups that seem rather secretive about their funding.
If I could give the biggest reason I started writing op-ed columns 17 years ago, and then created this venture with Ed Daley, I would say it was to stop the erosion of our liberty! PC is the number one source of that erosion, and I will be damned if I sit by and allow that to happen!
As I was driving home, I heard on the radio that today was the last chance to vote early. As I always vote on election day, I started to just drive by the polling place at the local library. But, at the last-minute, I figured I would get it done. The line was long, but moved quickly. There was no ID required, which I hated, but I saw no evidence of malfeasance. But really, it would not be tough to vote as someone else, all you need is the registration card.
For the first time we used electronic voting, which was very easy, I made sure my votes were recorded correctly, and was done very quickly, and yes, I did vote for Mitt, and Ted Cruz, and voted for a Republican in every race, except for my representative, where I voted for the Libertarian who is running against the incumbent Democrat.

…then drive to Crazy Town, take a left turn, past Insaneviile, and keep going until you plunge off Wacko Cliff into the bottomless Sea of Racial Obsession Syndrome. Then you will be where Chris Matthews diseased brain is
Oh my legs!
What a ludicrous standard! Matthews, how is it possible to speak to the ‘whole’ country? With ‘whole’ for a quantifier, it only takes one to require another pass. Pass, ‘whole’.
Minutes after Paul Ryan finished his RNC speech on Wednesday, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews slammed the Republican vice presidential candidate for supposedly ignoring blacks during his “very constricted, very negative, very nasty speech,” and suggested that he was directing the address to racists: “It’s clear that Paul Ryan was talking to people who think about rights as something…produced by Thomas Jefferson, ignoring the people for whom the rights only came in the 1960s.”
Wow! This guy is redefining unhinged on a daily basis. I expect that soon we will see Matthews, in a straighjacket doing his show from a dark cellar and chanting that Chicago is a RAAAAACIST word!
Matthews then demonstrates his mind-numbing ability to take an idiotic statement, amplify it, and subsequently make it exponentially more idiotic coming from his mouth, when he said this:
“Yea, well let me ask you about that gentleman. What about now, is this constant barrage of assaults, saying the guy is basically playing an old game of demagoguery politics, where you take the money from the worker bees and give it to the poor people to buy votes. That’s basically what they’re charging him with. Old big-style, big-city machine of 50 years ago.”
He added, “They keep saying Chicago by the way, have you noticed? They keep saying Chicago. That’s another thing that sends that message – this guy’s helping the poor people in the bad neighborhoods, screwing us in the ‘burbs.”
Hielemann helpfully interpreted Matthews statement, presumably for those too challenged to understand basic words (or as we in the business refer to them – Hardball viewers), by making this jaw-dropping statement:
“There’s a lot of black people in Chicago.”
Maybe MSNBS can replace Matthews, and any guests with Eric Cartman of South Park
Good Gief! And I might remind Matthews that it is HIS network that refused to carry many speeches by Black Republicans like Mia Love.
In lieu of airing speeches from former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis, a black American; Mia Love, a black candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives from Utah; and Texas senatorial hopeful Ted Cruz, a Latino American, MSNBC opted to show commentary anchored by Rachel Maddow from Rev. Al Sharpton, Ed Schultz, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes and Steve Schmidt.
Throughout this convention, Matthews has accused the Republicans of playing dog-whistle racist politics while on scene in Tampa. It isn’t clear, however, if Matthews will hurl accusations of racism at Davis, Love or Cruz for speeches his network failed to broadcast.
All of this begs the question. Was Chris Matthews crazy before his legs had their first Obamagasm? Or did all those Obamagasms make him nuttier than a truckload of fruitcakes?
Tea Party Favorite Cruz Wins Texas Republican Senate Primary – Daily Caller
Tea party favorite and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz has won the Texas Senate Republican primary, and will now likely be the next senator from Texas.
The Associated Press called the race one hour and 25 minutes after the polls closed in most of Texas (some of the state is on Mountain Time). Cruz had 53.6 percent of the vote to Dewhurst’s 46.4 percent, with 21 percent of districts reporting.
Tea Party Express, a big supporter of Cruz’s, touted the win as a “historic tea party victory tonight against the Texas establishment,” in a statement from chairwoman Amy Kremer.
Indeed, the race has been cast in a similar fashion to the Indiana primary in which Richard Mourdock ousted Sen. Richard Lugar. Though neither candidate yet serves in Washington, Dewhurst was considered the establishment choice, while Cruz was the tea party favorite.
Dewhurst was endorsed by most Texas government officials – 17 members of the Republican delegation in the state senate, along with the comptroller and agricultural commissioner, as well as Gov. Rick Perry.
Cruz, by contrast earned endorsements from a list of tea party all-stars: Sarah Palin, Sen. Jim DeMint, Glenn Beck, Sen. Mike Lee, Sen. Rand Paul, and former Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum – all of whom stumped for Cruz in Texas in the final days of the race.
“It’s a stunning upset,” emailed Texas Democratic strategist Harold Cook, “in which it lays bare the war on establishment Republicans by tea party conservatives, and makes it clear that the tea party activists are winning in the primaries, and forcing the Republican Party so far to the right that it’s beginning to be imaginable that Democrats may be a more substantial part of the conversation in the fall, even in a state as red as Texas.”
“It is clear that the tea party voters are still a force to be reckoned with,†emailed Republican strategist Trey Hardin. “Perry owned that state politically but his horse lost tonight. If I were the Democrats I would not underestimate the turnout machine that is the tea party. This election shows those voters are engaged and very much in play for November. As they say… don’t mess with Texas.”
The result vindicates the Cruz campaign’s strategy. Since before the original primary in May, Cruz staffers have said with certainty that if Cruz made it to a run-off with Dewhurst, he could pull off the win because his supporters were more enthusiastic and riled up about the race, that they were the ones who would show up to vote on a scalding hot day in the middle of a Texas summer.
Indeed, an hour before the polls closed, the temperature in Dallas was 105 degrees, according to the Weather Channel.
Even after the two went to a run-off, it might have sounded like a fantasy.
As lieutenant governor, Dewhurst was not only one of the most powerful politicians in the state, but he had nearly 100 percent name recognition statewide and deep pockets, meaning he could easily self-fund a campaign that would outspend Cruz.
As of July 11, the Texas Tribune calculated that the Dewhurst campaign had spent $18,801,096. Dewhurst himself had personally loaned the campaign $19,136,563 as of July 25. By contrast, the Cruz campaign spent just over $7 million. Cruz loaned his campaign $1,045,000.
But on Monday, Public Policy Polling released a poll that showed momentum had decidedly built in Cruz’ favor. The poll found Cruz had pulled further ahead of Dewhurst, leading 52 percent to 42 percent, with a massive lead of over fifty points among tea party voters.
Despite the polls, Dewhurst continued to maintain that he was going to win the run-off. As late as Tuesday afternoon, appearing on FOX News, he denied that Cruz had taken a lead in the race.
“Our polling has shown all along that we’re ahead, and I believe that we’re ahead,” he said. The campaign emailed out the internal poll to which he was referring Monday; it put Dewhurst ahead of Cruz 48 percent to 44 percent, and focused on his lead among seniors – something the PPP poll also found. According to Dewhurst’s pollster, 66 percent of early voters through Monday were senior citizens.
But as the numbers started coming in Tuesday, Cruz took an early lead and never relinquished it.
Cruz will now very likely be the next senator from Texas: the state’s demographics our highly favorable to Republicans and there is no strong Democratic candidate to counter that advantage.
