Jerry Lewis Raises Millions, Causes Controversy

So what? Isn't there such a thing as Freedom of Speech? Isn't Jerry Lewis a comedian? Don't comedians "get away" with the theoretical "hate speech"? what about that retarded sham Rap that is passed off as music but is nothing more than unmelodious hip-hop trash?

As many times as I have read and studied and written about the Constitution, I have yet to find anywhere in the document where we are protected from hearing things. We are protected by a specific reference to Free Speech. However, there are limits to Free Speech. It isn't all inclusive like some resort in Cancun.

There are consequences to Free Speech. This incident ain't one of them.

During the 18th hour of the telethon to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the 81-year-old actor, riffing in front of the camera very late in the broadcast, introduced an unseen person with a description that sounded like "the illiterate faggot."

In a video clip of the incident posted on the Internet, Lewis swaggers across the stage, appearing to dodge a cameraman before making the slightly muddled statement. He then seemingly catches himself and says, "No."

In an e-mail statement released by the Muscular Dystrophy Association Tuesday, Lewis apologized for the remark, saying it was a "joking comment" intended for a member of his production team.

"I apologize to anyone who was offended," Lewis said. "I obviously made a bad choice of words. Everyone who knows me understands that I hold no prejudices in this regard. In the family atmosphere of the telethon, I forget that not everyone knows me that well."

Worse things have been said.

Sen. Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign - By Elana Schor

In a stunning turn of events, Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) is reconsidering his decision to resign after the revelation of his June arrest in an airport sex sting, his spokesman said late Tuesday night.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Sen. Larry Craig is reconsidering his decision to resign after his arrest in a Minnesota airport sex sting and may still fight for his Senate seat, his spokesman said Tuesday evening.

"We're still preparing as if Senator Craig will resign Sept. 30, but the outcome of the legal case in Minnesota and the ethics investigation will have an impact on whether we're able to stay in the fight — and stay in the Senate," Smith said.

"He was a victim of circumstance, in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Michael Craig of his father's arrest.

Michael Craig and his sister, Shea Howell, decided to speak out about the scandal, but not before making sure that they had all the answers necessary to confidently defend their father.

Bush Plan Ignores Our Strategically Risky Position - Posted by Rep. Kathy Castor

I’m fortunate to serve on the Armed Services Committee. Over the first 8 months of the year I’ve heard testimony about the escalation of the war in Iraq, and how it has placed this country in a strategically risky position.

Where President Bush and Vice President Cheney have taken us has impaired our ability to respond to any other threat to our national security, and the last National Intelligence Estimate said that Al Qaeda has reconstituted itself.

Now, which Administration completely raped the the United States Military and the associated and unassociated intelligence services to pretend "it" balanced the budget? And don't lie like a Democrat Leader, either. I already know the answer and can prove it.

Perhaps the proper blame can be placed where it friggin' belongs, if "they" MUST play the Blame Game.

How about if we stop the retarded Blame Game, admit mistakes and move on and win the fucking war?

Like Dean says, "Fucking idiots...."

HEY! Dishonorable Rep Kathy Castor! Yeah! You! Quit talking out of your ass!

Islamist Website Hosted in Minnesota Features Discussion on How to Attack U.S. Military Bases

What in the HELL is going on in Minnesota?

On September 3, 2007, the Islamist website www.ekhlaas.cc, which is hosted by SiteGenie LLC in Rochester, Minnesota, featured a discussion on ways to attack U.S. military bases. The discussion, which took place on a forum on the website, focused mainly on bases located in open terrain, e.g., in the desert, which the forum participants characterized as particularly difficult to approach without being detected. Some of the postings were accompanied by diagrams of military bases showing various plans and angles of attack (as in the image below).

If y'all ain't readin' MEMRI on a daily basis, go to the doctor and get whatever it is that is in theb wrong place removed and start paying attention!!

Think Digressively...Poor Slogs...UPDATED

Here come the losers with additional debunked and politically driven dribble by quoting a document replete with errors and opinions that are being espoused as fact. Opinions, when backed up with verifiable facts, can themselves become fact. Opinions, bolstered with wishful thinking, does not constitute a fact. These losers crack me up.

Catch the waves as they roll over the Leftinistra, leaving them awash in a sea of self-induced pity.

Q&O has some very well thought out conclusions and are well worth the read.

As I sit in my "death chair" pondering all that I read from the Leftinistra, one thing becomes solidly clear. The Leftinistra are in a tizzy and their spin machines are not working as well as they once did. More and more of us are catching on that the Leftinistra care about one thing and one thing only...political power. Everything else comes a distant last.

America is rising and the Conservative Tsunami is coming their way.

Ride the wave.


UPDATE: buzz at meme

The Commanders in the field seem to be taking exception to the Leftinistra/RINO politically driven GAO abortion. It seems as though the ones in the dirt think the ones fighting the dust mites in DC are as smart as they think they might be. Imagine that?

I can hardly wait for the Petraeus Slap coming in less than two weeks now.

AQD...Al Qaida In Denmark

A few days ago, in a post here, we brought to your attention the calls for attacks on the People of Denmark. And then, lo and behold, we have this: HUGE HT to Right Truth...

Al-Qaeda Busted in Denmark

Denmark arrests eight al-Qaeda members with explosives in their possession, -- "several of the suspects had created an unstable explosive in a densely populated housing area,..." (AFP) The terrorists had "backgrounds from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Turkey, and six of them held Danish citizenship."

Move America Forward Report Day One

Wow! What an incredible first day for the Move America Forward "Fight for Victory Tour." We launched the tour just as the news media was reporting that President Bush had timed a special surprise trip to Iraq to thank U.S. troops for their service to this nation. Needless to say this inspired our crowds and the Move America Forward team alike.

The staff at Move America Forward are writing this report at 1:44 AM after a wonderful, and long, first day.

In Carson City we had 150-200 people show up, waving American Flags and singing. Congressman Duncan Hunter of the House Armed Services Committee gave a fabulous speech, as did Gold Star Mom Debbie Lee and Blue Star Mom Deborah Johns. TV cameras reported on the event.... We were the top story on the local news/talk radio station, the local newspaper covered the event. It was fantastic!

We hit lots of traffic crossing the Sierra Nevada mountain range as we left Carson City, Nevada and headed for Sacramento, California. We arrived a bit late, but there were still over 100 proud patriotic Americans on hand. Again, more TV cameras, and the local country music station was there to sponsor the event and broadcast reports.

We next had to get to San Francisco, but with the Bay Bridge closed for repairs we were forced to take a long circuitous route into the most liberal, anti-war bastion in this nation. But nothing could seem to stop our momentum, and the CBS and NBC affiliates were on hand to interview the big crowd in San Francisco. That crowd cheered and waved flags as our caravan arrived, and we felt so proud to be standing with so many wonderful Americans who will not allow the media, nor political activists, to undermine the missions of our troops serving overseas.

By the end of the day we had rallied several hundred Americans before a phalanx of media outlets who were reporting to the general public that there is a resurgence of activity and support from the pro-troop movement.

On Tuesday we start off in Modesto, California with a pro-troop rally at 7:00 AM before heading to Fresno, California for a 10:00 AM rally and then to Los Angeles, California for a 3:15 PM rally, and then we head to San Diego to get situated at our hotel there (and probably greet more people who will gather to greet our arrival there).

We're making outstanding progress - so much so that it has even surpassed our best expectations, and while we are all very tired from the strenuous pace and enormous amount of work that is involved we are nevertheless driven forward by motivation, determination and pride.

Singer Diana Nagy will knock your socks off, you HAVE to come to one of our stops to see her perform. She has touched our hearts and souls! Melanie Morgan and Lt. Colonel Buzz Patterson of Move America Forward kicked off each event with such dynamic power and enthusiasm that it set the tone for our positive, uplifting, patriotic effort. We just cannot come up with enough adjectives to convey to you how extraordinarily exciting this first day has been!

We're posting reports and pictures here:

And we are also thankful that so many of you continue to send us contributions to help us purchase the TV, radio and Internet advertising to keep getting the word out about the upcoming pro-troop rally stops.

Contributions can be made online here:

Or you can contributed via PayPal here:

We'll report more soon!

P.S. A special note of thanks to all the great people at FreeRepublic.com who have been helping us with this effort!

AND!! From our very own Dean...aka solo!! A True Friend and Patriot that overcame obstacles to get himself to the events of Day One of Fight For Victory Tour! KUDOS DEAN!!

The below account is unedited and uncensored...

LOL. Well I'm a little late with this but here goes.

Long drive up and physically taxing. I arrived early and reconnoitered the area to locate enemy encampments and patrols. None sighted at 07:00. Moved position to locate the main body of friendly forces at Holiday Inn Express. They were there so after a short break and head call for me and the dog I returned to the area of operations at Mills Park. Another recon revealed no enemy activity at 07:45. Two groups of friendlies were found so I mustered them to roll call and helped with planning. Assisted these people setting up a couple of booths, flags, tents, and established a perimeter. Another recon indicated enemy activity was light and well away form our camp.

08:30 many friendly forces begin arriving. Reconned the perimeter once more and picked up one lone moonbat carrying a sign that read, "End The War - Out of Iraq Now". He attempted to infiltrate the camp but was stopped before he could do damage by me. I confronted the aging hippie who, by the way, smelled of goats, ganja, and feces. Yellow teeth too. He made several attempts to go around my confrontation but I countered moving swiftly to head him off each time. He was told by me that he was not welcome here and was not invited to this party.

He screamed I was infringing on his 1st Amendment rights to which I responded "Get your sorry smelly ass out of here". He made one more attempt to get by me by getting in my face using his sign as a shield. Once again I stopped him with a stern warning, "Get the sign out of my face and go away before I take "that" sign and shove it up your ass." He began frothing at the mouth screaming more unintelligible raves about 1st Amendment rights and being threatened.

For some reason he suddenly turned away and exited the area in much haste. Thinking I had won a major firefight all by my lonesome, I turned to go back to camp and was immediately met by 8 or 9 friendlies all laughing their asses off. They congratulated me laughing, shaking hands stating "We had your back bro." The enemy infiltrator never returned.

This ends military after action report.

Let the festivities begin. (to be continued)

(Continued)

Man what a day! All major players showed up at the scheduled time 09:00 including Duncan Hunter who was apparently on his way east. Perhaps pictures will show more than I can say, see attached.

I had the honor to meet Debbie Lee, Duncan Hunter, Debborah Johns, Col. "Buzz" Patterson and was able to speak with them for a brief period. Amazing people and well motivated! After a few minutes of friendly chat I once again returned to the perimeter to check enemy positions. See attached.

According to some reports there were over 200 friendlies and around 40 or so protesters. My assessment was at least 170 friendlies and 12 enemy counted. All in front of hairy "dickweeds" office on our side of the road. If there were more enemies they remained in the shadows and undetected. We had them outnumbered at least 14 to 1. And it goes without saying outclassed.

I am always impressed by the conduct of our people. They are clean, well groomed, well spoken and fired up. Lots of happy faces and lots of Red, White, and Blue. HOOYAH! My kind of people...PATRIOTS everyone of them.

(cont)

The return trip was delayed by at least an hour due to heavy traffic...bumper to bumper for at least 100 miles.

No major incidents to report in Sacramento as the caravan arrived and continued with the festivities.

Moonbats had vandalized and defaced the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the Capitol grounds. Volunteers were busy cleaning up the mess and today I am headed back there to help. Apparently the damage was done in the wee hours or late night and went undetected by police patrolling the grounds. Coffee break perhaps? The dribbling little creeps aren't stupid so they probably had lookouts. From the looks of the damage it was done quickly with no method to the madness. Damage was minor but ugly. I didn't take pictures mainly because I don't want to be reminded of the incident. The news stations have it recorded.

Returned home checked e-mail and visited your blog and Spree's to make sure that she was able to live blog the event. I checked in with Deb Johns and another lady to make sure Spree was on the list for live updates and pictures. Could not enlist any additional volunteers to aid in the effort but didn't spend alot of time at it considering I was just a little bit busy with perimeter control. LOL.

I begged the moonbats to move a little closer and they responded by moving further away except for two brave mindless wonders who were picked up by others on patrol. I got pictures of these two fools..."We Support The Troops - Bring Them Home Now." Fucking idiots..........

And, we even have some pictures from Dean...

So, We Aren't Winning?

Just some late night & early morning thoughts having just finished reading a plethora of Leftinistra crap.

Then why is the Taliban trying to turn Saudi Arabia into what they once had in Afghanistan?

And why are the "Jews" being referenced to as bacteria?

And why are the Leftinistra ignoring that which they have been whining about?




And why are the Leftinistra upset about the Viet Con?

And what of the terrorists being captured/killed in an ever increasing number?

Is the other Hsu about to drop?
Hillary's donor linked to China missile trader

A shady Chinese megadonor to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has close ties to an aerospace mogul accused of placing his business interests before national security by sharing missile secrets with Beijing during the Clinton administration.

Before his forced resignation last week, Norman Yuan Yuen Hsu sat on the board of trustees of the liberal New School university in New York with former Loral Corp. head Bernard L. Schwartz, who was allowed to transfer restricted satellite and missile technology to a People's Liberation Army front after contributing a record amount of cash to President Clinton's 1996 campaign.

The New School has removed Hsu's name from its list of trustees. But the old list showing both Hsu and Schwartz is still captured on Google's cache files. Here is the screen shot.

Click, read, learn and heed.

Hillary is a dangerous woman and her lust for power will not stop with the Presidency.

Experience? Hillary Has Experience? At What?

Living with a womanizer?

Practicing deceit?

Practicing Leninism? Stalinism?

Socialist/National Health Care? That doesn't work and hasn't worked ANYWHERE it has been tried and is in place?

What EXACTLY are her contributions and why are they such a secret? Where is the proof of her "experience"? What has she accomplished, exactly? Pork spending?

From The Hill:

Clinton's new message: ‘Change plus experience’ - By Sam Youngman

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) unveiled her new stump speech in the Granite State Sunday, promising change plus experience in an apparent effort to distinguish herself from rival Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.).

Clinton kicked off her fall campaign this weekend, traveling through New Hampshire with her husband, former President Bill Clinton.
