To liberals, maxing out the credit card and not being able to unilaterally increase the debt limit is personal. So munch so that the politics of personal destruction get put on steroids:
No mention that we have a tax cheat running the Treasury (Turbotax Tim). Or Charles Rangel and his tax problems. Or, ...oh never mind...

Video of CNN's Wolf Blitzer: Speaker Boehner Has A Point, Obama Has No Plan
It's getting too easy to keep posting these videos of pundits admitting what everyone already knows - Obama and the Democrats have no plan. But when the admission comes from those working for the Clinton News Network, it's worth a post nonetheless:

Video of CNN host Kyra Phillips: Michele Bachmann Is “Racist” Because She Opposes Government Fraud Or Something
I've asked this question many times, but why do Democrats even need to raise one red cent in campaign contributions when they have in-kind contributions from their media buddies like this:
Via Founding Bloggers via Gateway Pundit. The USDA Pigford settlement was reparations plain and simple. Pelosi - after getting her butt handed to her in November - passed a huge settlement with black farmers that sued for racial discrimination. The problem? The settlement is to 92,000 black farmers - 5 TIMES the number of actual black farmers that existed at the time of the settlement. It's reparations plain and simple. From Gateway Pundit back in August:
Several updates since then:

Pelosi - after getting her butt handed to her in November - passed a huge settlement with black farmers that sued for racial discrimination. The problem? The settlement is to 92,000 black farmers - 5 TIMES the number of actual black farmers that existed at the time of the settlement. It's reparations plain and simple. From Gateway Pundit back in August:
Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging racial discrimination in its allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1983 and 1997. The lawsuit ended with a settlement in which the U.S. government agreed to pay African American farmers $50,000 each if they had attempted to get USDA help but failed. To date, almost $1 billion has been paid or credited to the farmers under the settlement’s consent decree. Democrats want to add another $1.2 billion to the money pot and continue with the reparations.A FoxNews video from the summer:
Several updates since then:
- Video: Former Agriculture Secretary Confirms FBI Investigations Into USDA Inside-Job Pigford Fraud
- Pigford Video: Key ‘Black Farmers’ Lawyer Admits Clients ‘Got Away With Murder’
- Video of Pigford Whistle-Blower: Despite USDA Denials, Fraud Is ‘FBI Documented’
- The Pigford fraud: US Government settles with 92,000 black farmers, 5 TIMES as many as were actually farming
- The Shirley Sherrod you never knew, and perhaps don't want to
President Barack Obama may have used the Pigford farmers case to steal the African-American vote from Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential election, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said Saturday on WMAL in Washington DC.And that makes her a racist? Please...
Bachmann made the connection when she spoke with Andrew Breitbart Saturday about a major cover-up in the Pigford farmers case.
UPDATE: In related news: ABC’s Brian Ross Plays Victim & Continues to Smear Bachmann
ABC crank Brian Ross continued to play victim today after he harassed Michele Bachmann at a campaign event yesterday and wasABC has refused to release the video. Natch.roughed upheld back by her staff. Ross refuses to release video but he’s getting plenty of press which is what he had hoped for.

Video of CNN’s Borger: Tea Party ‘Hijacked’ GOP Preventing Obama From Becoming ‘Transformational President’
Figures that as Obama's poll numbers are swirling around the toilet that liberals would blame the tea party for why Obama sucks as President:
Tea party derangement Syndrome? You betcha!

Video: CNN Anchor Refuses to Ask Bachmann Substantive Question; No questions about unemployment, the budget, the economy, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the deficit, Medicare, health care, terrorism, Iran, Syria, Israel, Greece or gas prices
Having Bachmann give substantive answers to substantive questions would go against the narrative that they are painting of her being an idiot, so no meaningful questions on the docket:

Evil Hamsters Mistreat, Abuse, and Mutilate woman in the name of........
You can fill in the blank. There seems to be too many reasons in the world, that people use to justify hurting others. I don't like it. This story from CNN / www.getreligion.org is one of many examples. At what point does humanity grow up?
Ghosts in the Egyptian virginity tests?
Posted by Mollie
CNN is up with a horrifying story about what female protesters went through during the recent Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt. A senior Egyptian general has admitted that women were subjected to “virginity checks.” Amnesty International had alleged as such in a report following the protests. That group claimed that females “were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.” Those reports were denied. Things have changed:
But now a senior general who asked not to be identified said the virginity tests were conducted and defended the practice.
“The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine,” the general said. “These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs).”
The general said the virginity checks were done so that the women wouldn’t later claim they had been raped by Egyptian authorities.
“We didn’t want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren’t virgins in the first place,” the general said. “None of them were (virgins).”
This is horribly sad and also tremendously bizarre. I had more questions after reading the story than I did at the beginning. Why would, for instance, proof that they weren’t virgins have anything to do with whether the military raped or sexually assaulted them? What are these virginity checks? What in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks is going on?
We get the testimony of Salwa Hosseini, a young hairdresser who described being shocked with a stun gun, called a prostitute and given a virginity test. She says of the treatment that it was designed to steal her dignity.
Later, we learn:
The senior Egyptian general said the 149 people detained after the March 9 protest were subsequently tried in military courts, and most have been sentenced to a year in prison.
Authorities later revoked those sentences “when we discovered that some of the detainees had university degrees, so we decided to give them a second chance,” he said.
All this is interesting but I can’t help but think too much is being assumed of the reader, particularly with the virginity tests. I found this 2009 BBC story about anger in Egypt over kits that enable women to fake their virginity. In that story, we learn that there is a religious component. The brief article gives these details:
Abdul Mouti Bayoumi said supplying the item was akin to spreading vice in society, a crime punishable by death in Islamic Sharia law. …
There is a stigma about pre-marital sex in conservative Arab societies.
Professor Bayoumi, a scholar at the prestigious al-Azhar University, said it undermined the moral deterrent of fornication, which he described as a crime and one of the cardinal sins in Islam.
When writing about another place, we need to know more about those aspects of the culture that create situations such as this. Even just brief mentions of traditions, religion and mores would help a great deal.
Go Ahead Evil Hamsters, keep on talking. Your bull&%^$ will be seen eventually.
