What ever happened to the promise made by Obama to end the bitter partisan divide? After hearing this bit, I’d argue that it was a promise Obama never had an intention of fulfilling. We are more divided than ever and the Presidential pulpit has become the biggest wedge on Earth.
Rather than seek common ground, Obama has led the charge to partition off those with whom he disagrees and make them ride in the back seat. Countless doors were closed and zero accommodations were made on Obamacare. Beyond politics, a hyper-partisan campaign has extended to Fox News and any other Conservative or Conservative-leaning media outlet. A campaign that is beneath the Office of the President, but not beneath Barack Obama.
With this being the tone emanating from the White House, it’s no surprise that a guy like Juan Williams got canned for simply admitting he feels uncomfortable on planes with people dressed in “Muslim garb.” The Washington Post provides this round-up on the issue.
I never was a huge fan of Williams, but he’s certainly a more reasonable guy than most you’ll find on MSNBC. Not a radical leftist to be sure. As you’ll see in this segment, perhaps he just comes off as reasonable because he serves as a stark contrast to those who play the part of raving loon like Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann:
Whirlwind of controversy…NPR execs tripping over themselves to post-date Williams’ pink slip…meanwhile, old “Maude” Behar throws this hissy fit over a campaign ad portraying Harry Reid as soft on illegal immigration:
Following the textbook liberal modus operandi, Behar and her coffee-talk crew re-draw the issue and cast Angle as a racist. The sad irony that Behar’s addled brain will never comprehend is that Angle’s ad refers to “illegal immigration,” as in anyone (not just Mexicans) who enter this country illegally. You say “illegal immigration” to Behar, she thinks Mexicans…apparently…but as with so many issues these days (abortion, stem cell research, taxes) she is incapable of dealing with the actual issue honestly.
In response to the crudely vapid insult, Behar claimed Sharron Angle sent Behar flowers and a note thanking her for driving $150,000 worth of campaign contributions into Angle’s coffers. The classless cluck doubles down on lower broadcast standards and calls Angle a bitch…again. What’s next, Joy? You “ladies” going to start moderating “Who’s Da Daddy” segments on The View?
I know…I know…comparing “The View” to anything Juan Williams has appeared on is probably an apple-oranges thing and I’m probably lowering my own credibility by mentioning this ridiculous show…but sad as it is, shows like “The View” do influence people. At least our tax dollars (far as I know) do not directly subsidize these clucks. What GOOD argument is there for continued taxpayer support of NPR?

I wonder if they have any clue just how easy they make it.

They don’t GLENN. LIBTARDS are completely unhinged.
Joe the Plumber PLUS the TEA PARTIES.
Have completely emasculated and rendered IMPOTENT the entire LIBTARD apparatus of the DEMOTARD/LIBTARD Party.
Scream LIBTARDS. SMEAR!! BITCH!!!
Tuesday is coming. You shit on America and we are going to reduce you to kindling.

If my dog looked like Joy Behar, I’d shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.

So my tax dollars go to support anti-American
sentiment on NPR…meanwhile, my cable bill goes toward crap like Jon Stewart tongue-bathing BHO. Apparently Comedy Central was swapped out for a porno channel.

Pres. Obama was campaigning yesterday in Hyde Park. After campaigning last week at UW-Madison, and before that at a big AFL-CIO convention. It’s not so much that he’s partisan as it’s not obvious that he recognizes that America is a huge country, and very little of it identifies with Hyde Park/Madison/AFL-CIO.
As for NPR, this is a very small part of a large problem- which is, public funding of leftist organizations. Whether it’s a “conservatives need not apply” tenure-track position at a public university or all the fragments that spun off ACORN or the social-work establishment, the question comes down to whether it is better to reform those organizations that are both valuable and potentially reformable, or fight and endless (and usually, losing) battle to de-fund them.

Joy Behar is just a nut.
Not too successful at being funny, she makes her living being a nut.
She’ll never be rational, just like many others.
She has an “in your face” attitude, and enjoys this attention.
Accept it and move on.

“….the flowers were probably picked by illegal immigrants who WON’T be voting for you.” - Behar
Well, we hope they won’t be voting at all.
But we know better.

I’m not holding my breath waiting for the “no people are illegal” crowd (I am rolling my eyes as I type that) to call her out for her use of the phrase “illegal immigrants[sic]“. But yeah, the casual admission that illegal voting helps Democrats caught my attention, too.

OMG…MjM…LOL…I totally missed that!
“Picked by illegal immigrants who won’t be voting for you, bitch.”
I have no words that adequately describe just how stooopid Behar is for saying that…I just laughed for several minutes!
I would think Angle’s response to that should be: “Well, that is the law, Joy. See you November 3rd!”

Or, as I have taken to calling her, Joy Behag.
