Yeah he said it, and it’s quite unbelievable. (via Weasel Zippers)

UPDATE: I understand that Hank Johnson has Hepatitis C and it messes with the brain. This is probably a result of that.

Kevin Jackson does a great job of defending the Tea Parties from these false allegations of racism, and I imagine that his remarks carry a bit more potency as he would likely be seen by the black community as betraying his race. I remember a black guy on a Glenn Beck show once said that being a democrat is more important than being black, which seems crazy to me, but that’s what he said.

Either way, Kevin does a fabulous job of calling out the lies:

Mark explains why Obama’s announcement of opening up new areas for drilling is really a facade, a way to get cap-n-trade votes. He explains that this simply puts the ball in the dept. of interior’s court, and the guy who runs that wants nothing to do with drilling.

Earlier today it was announced that Sarah Palin would do the first installment of a new series called “Real American Stories”. This is the supposed press release:

FOX News Channel (FNC) will present the first installment of a new series, Real American Stories on Thursday, April 1st at 10:00PM/ET.

Hosted by Sarah Palin, Real American Stories will feature real-life tales of overcoming adversity throughout the American landscape. The debut episode will focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his life to save his comrades. Also, the special profiles a wealthy stock broker who donates much of his fortune to underprivileged students so they can attend college.

The program will also feature country singer, Toby Keith, who will explain the inspiration behind his song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.” Additionally, rapper and actor, LL Cool J, and the former Chairman and CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, will both speak about their success in this country in a segment entitled, “In Their Own Words.”

The program will also be presented on Sunday, April 4th at 9:00PM/ET.

The reason I say ‘supposed’ is because Mediabistro, who apparently published the press release online, has since deleted it without noting why. Here’s the link that everyone is using for the source. Also, note the bold part.

There’s more after the jump.

Grayson must have been dropped on his head like 100 times or something. He just isn’t making much sense these days. He’s accusing this guy of being like the people who threatened to kill his 5 year old son and wants him to apologize for spreading hate. His arguments are almost incoherent.

For the life of me I can’t figure out how he got elected. Was he the only one in the race?

Enjoy:

She’ll be hosting the show during the 10pm slot on Thursday night. No, apparently this isn’t an April Fool’s joke (via Mediaite):

This is not an April Fool’s joke. Sarah Palin will take her first stab at television hosting when she fronts a new Fox News series, Real American Stories, premiering Thursday April 1 at 10pmET.

Guests for the first show include country singer Toby Keith, rapper/actor LL Cool J and Jack Welch. Get excited.

The show will “focus on a range of such stories including a Marine Medal of Honor recipient who gave his live to save his comrades.” But also there will be the celebrity guests – a very broad range of celebrity guests.

Airing in place of On The Record with Greta Van Susteren, the prime time spot ensures a large audience. And depending on just how large, we could see a lot more of Palin hosting on Fox News.

The program re-airs Sunday at 9pmET.

UPDATE: Commercial Added.

I guess none of this mattered once Obama got elected because the Democrats have voted in lock step since. But this is exactly what we were saying before hand, and we were right. Alot of good that’s going to do us now anyways. The MSM still ignores it like the plague and refuses to report on anything that might harm the legislation, even in it’s aftermath.

Here’s a couple of clips of Democrats now suggesting that this health care bill is indeed about wealth redistribution:

I’m really starting to get sick of this debate. Hayes said it best, that if someone is going to go blow someone’s head off, it’s not because they saw targets on a facebook map. But let’s just say for argument that in fact that was the case, that someone saw targets and went and shot (God forbid!) a congressman. Would we then say that it was Sarah Palin’s fault? Would we condemn all target symbols and the use of ‘reload’ verbiage when referring to members of congress, or anyone else for that matter? No. We would all chalk this up to someone who was mentally unstable, especially if they said cross hairs on a map set them off.

This is all politics. I could be wrong but I don’t remember having this discussion during the last 8 years when dissent was justified. Hayes is correct that they are trying to change the subject, and it appears that the media is fairly easy to manipulate, including Fox News. It’s all we’ve been hearing in the last week or two. I’m not saying Fox shouldn’t cover it, but let’s put it in its place and move on. Don’t let the Democrats change the subject off of this government takeover of health care.

This is an interview between Newsmax and Bill O’Reilly. Outside of Bill’s clothing, it’s a great interview. I’m not a huge fan of his, but I will say that I thought he did quite well in his analysis of Obama and made some good points about Palin. (via Breitbart.tv)

O’Reilly and Sharpton went rounds on the recent cries of racism and violence within the Tea Party. When O’Reilly questioned him about it, Sharpton tried to say that the had seen the video and heard the racial slurs. O’Reilly called him on it because there is no video proof of what was alleged. Sharpton then, in defending Pitts who wrote the article in question, tried to say that Pitts said there were ‘elements’ of racism, that he wasn’t painting the whole Tea Party as racist. But that’s simply not true and O’Reilly could have done a better job of pointing that out.  Pitts never used the word ‘elements’ and he was in fact painting the entire Tea Party as racist as O’Reilly kept asserting. Read the article yourself.

Overall it didn’t feel like a ‘win’ even though O’Reilly had some good moments. It should’ve been easy to expose the dishonesty that Sharpton was pimping but it utterly got mired in minutiae.
