April 4, 1865:

One black man, overcome by emotion, dropped to his knees, prompting the president to conduct a curbside colloquium on the meaning of emancipation. “Don’t kneel to me,” said the president. “That is not right. You must kneel to God only, and thank Him for the liberty you will enjoy hereafter.”

September 2009:

“We would be happy if Obama could stay forever as the president of America,” Muammar al-Gaddafi

No Complaining now, otherwise you are an enemy of the revolution against equal pay for equal work.

Update: Michael Graham Nails it:

Seriously, my Lefty friends—do you not understand how CREEPY this is to normal people?

Yes they do, that’s guys like media matters are paid to fight back but don’t link the video.

It’s why the school is more outraged over the video than about the action.

Update: I see youtube has decided to hide it. I would remind people of this verse:

You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down. 2 Samuel 12:12

Wake up your Gods it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

The real person who should be interviewed on this Acorn story…

…is New York Times reporter Stephine Strom.

I sent an e-mail through the times feedback system this morning asking about her opinion on the current stories, how it jibes with her reporting from last year and if she plans on further reporting.

I think she is the real loser of this whole story. As Michelle mentions today she was breaking story after story on this when the Times shut her down.

Instead the times decided to ignore this and other stories (read Van Jones) at the cost of their credibility with the public.

A lot of other places ignored it too, but the times actually had an “in” and threw it away, what kind of Newspaper does that?

I’m not a reporter but I’m sure a professional reporter could appreciate how it must just twist your guts to lose a scoop like this.

I’ll let you know if Strom replies and what she says.

Update: Don Surber says aloud what I’m thinking:

I am convinced now more than ever that the unindicted Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization known as ACORN was the spine of the campaign to elect Barack Obama.

And THAT is why the Times had to repress the story.

Update: Misspelled her name, that’s why she is a pro and I’m not.

Have no fear Violet he doesn’t mean it

Over at the Reclusive Leftist Violet notes the banality of the media’s Joe Wilson obsession:

Almost 24 hours later, that’s still the picture. Look at this snapshot of Memeorandum from 6:40 pm today. The top nineteen stories are about the shouting Congressman. Nineteen. Then there are a few stories about the speech itself — waaaay down the page — and then it’s on to John Stossel.

Personally I figure it’s because they don’t want to cover the Acorn stories, but that isn’t what really gets Violet upset this is:

By the way: my favorite part of the speech? The part where Obama lumped in abortions with death panels and illegal aliens and other crazy-ass shit his healthcare plan would never pay for.

No Violet is vehemently pro-abortion and uses a term “Godbags” that I frankly don’t care for, but she is a honest and honorable person of the left for all that. She saw though this president months ago and as a person of the left saw betrayal coming.

I think however when it comes to abortion her fear is misplaced and any optimism is not warranted on our part so I left the following comment on her blog:

Violet I wouldn’t get all worked up about the abortion statement.

As a person vehemently opposed to abortion I can assure you that when he said that he was lying through his teeth and no serious person opposed to abortion believes a word of it.

So trust me, although we both know that this president doesn’t do honesty too well abortion would be a bridge too far for most of his acolytes.

And if it turns out I’m wrong then that wouldn’t signal a change on the left concerning abortion (although I’d like it to be) it would signal that support for President Obama has officially morphed into a religion, and that would be the worst development yet.

You know I really wonder if the Obamacult is strong enough to overcome almost any actual position. You never know.

BTW I can’t take credit for the tag “obamacult” on wordpress, that honor goes to the lefty blog semidi who used it twice last year. The Hillary people saw this first and recognized it for what it was.

Speaking of the bubble

On Morning Joe it is all Joe Wilson all the time. Tina Brown made the point that in England due to question time they can deal with this type of thing.

Meanwhile the Acorn Baltimore bit doesn’t even rate a crawl at the bottom of the page even though it broke after the show ended yesterday.

And of course “She who must not be named or quoted” is being obliquely insulted as they keep talking about “death panels debunked” and not answering “lies and distortions”.

The Capewell family still can’t be reached for comment on if this is a “debunked distortion”.

There is a bubble and MSNBC is in it and they are in it by design.

Joe is now hitting Tim Paulenty on Death Panels and Paulenty won’t back away it and Barnicle is now hitting him on it.
