DLA For Sunday 061211

This one is just fun to watch.

Hey folks,

Ever try to be someone or something you are not. To please someone, impress someone, or because someone told you that you should be a certain way? Many people do. They put on various Personas. People see them at work or school, and they think of them this way or that. Yet at HOME they are nothing like the Persona they use.

There is an old saying, "I made you, I can break you." That is true no matter WHO the I is. If you let the work place, school, friends, or whatever, define you, make you, they can then break you. You give them power over your very Person.

This is why it is so refreshing whenever you meet someone who is who they are, 24-7. They do not change who they are to accommodate, whomever they are involved with. They have this attitude that you either like me or not. I am what and who I am.

This is one of the reasons some HATE Rush Limbaugh. He is who he is. Like him or hate him, it doesn't matter. This is why some people HATE Sarah Palin. She is who she is. But with Palin, it's "like me, be my friend, or get the HELL out of the way." {Smile}

Unlike most Politicians and Celebrities, who rely on the Establishment, who CARE what the Media says about them, who CARE what most people think of them, Palin is different. SHE doesn't NEED the Establishment, the Media, nor Public Praise. She is giving a talk, you want to hear it, come on down. If not, then just simply don't. However, people DO. By the THOUSANDS. She is popular DESPITE all the Media attempts to destroy her, make her look stupid, and even some on her own side. She is Popular and GROWING in popularity more and more AS the Media attempts to destroy her, make her look stupid, and even some on her own side. But even more than that, she is making THEM look stupid.

From forcing them to chase her all over the place by NOT playing along and giving them a schedule, she made them look like a Benny Hill sketch. Or Saturday Night Live for some of the YOUNGER readers. To things like THIS.

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

Oh they had a FIELD DAY with this one. They were coming out of the wood work. Finally they got something that she ACTUALLY said, that they can use to make her look STUPID. EVERYONE knows that Paul Revere rode through town waring the PEOPLE that the British were coming and he did NOT ring bells. OK. She just said that he warned the British. What a Dummkopf. Oh yeah they were having fun with this. They were laughing, pointing, look at the Stupid Girl. She will never beat Obama.

Problem is though? She is RIGHT! So NPR goes out and gets this Historian to make it official Palin is an Idiot. I bet they wish they hadn't NOW. So Professor Robert Allison The Chair of the History Department at Suffolk University in Boston went on NPR with Host Melissa Block. Melissa is just too exited to get him to denounce Palin. She is like, so tell us how wrong she is. I mean, he didn't warn the British and he did not ring the Bells right? He was a Blacksmith.

Prof. ALLISON: Well, he was - he also was a bell ringer. That is, he rang the bells at Old North Church as a boy. But he, personally, is not getting off his horse and going to ring bells. He's telling other people - and this is their system before Facebook, before Twitter, before NPR - this was the way you get a message out, is by having people ring church bells, and everyone knows there is an emergency.

And by this time, of course, the various town committees of safety, militia knew what the signals were, so they knew something was afoot. So this is no longer a secret operation for the British.

You KNOW she, the Host, is steaming right now. But warning the British? Seriously?

Revere isn't trying to alert the British, but he is trying to warn them. And in April of 1775, no one was talking about independence. We're still part of the British Empire. We're trying to save it. So this is a warning to the British Empire what will happen if you provoke Americans.

{Laughing} But she CAN'T let it go. Palin HAS to be wrong here.

BLOCK: So you think basically, on the whole, Sarah Palin got her history right.

Prof. ALLISON: Well, yeah, she did. And remember, she is a politician. She's not an historian. And God help us when historians start acting like politicians, and I suppose when politicians start writing history.

BLOCK: Are there other historians, Professor, whom you've talked with who say you're being entirely too charitable towards Sarah Palin here, and she really did misread American...

{Laughing, banging hand on Desk} So they go out, get this "Expert" to tell them how stupid Palin is, and he says uh, no. She got it right. Then they call their own Expert Stupid. {Laughing, wiping tear from eye} That IS the Looney Left for ya. Attack that of which the Fear, Palin, and even attack there own if their own does not agree with them.

Trust me folks, Palin is NOT Stupid. She IS great at making her Critics look Stupid though. Look, she is comfortable in her own Skin. She is who she is. She IS what she is. A Smart, Beautiful Independent Woman that has it all. A Husband that loves her. Great looking Kids. A BIGHT Future no matter WHAT she ultimately decides to do. She needs NO ONE. Nor NOTHING. She IS her own self with not only the ability to THINK, but to convey that thought to others.

Congratulations Sarah. Just keep being you. You ARE a breath of fresh air. The Media can not destroy you, because they did not make you. You will not go off into the never, like Cindy Sheehan. When Bush was in office, the Media MADE Cindy Sheehan. They paid her. Paid her travel. She is still out there, but now it's Obama. So NOW she is a kook that they OPENLY admit they wish would just go away. They can not do that to you Mrs. Palin. THAT is what is driving them nuts. Now they even go the Public to help them sort through your Emails looking for Dirt. My guess is they will not find anything. No Weiners here. {Smile} Like I said, just keep doing what you are doing. Just keep being YOU.

Media Obsession Over PRIVATE Citizen

What did YOU do today?

Did you let ABC, NBC, CNN, NYT, or any of the others know? Why not?

Hey folks,

This is totally amazing to watch. It started this past Weekend when a PRIVATE Citizen chartered a Bus, packed up their family, and headed out to cross this Great Country, seeing the sites of it's Founding and talking to some people along the way.

The OBSESSION of the Media is breath taking to observe. They demanded to know when and where the Bus was going and going to be. They wanted to know WHAT she was going to talk about. They got MAD when she didn't play along.

So off she went. She has not declared she was Running for ANY Political Office. She is NOT in Political Office. She is NOT a CEO of a major Corporation that EFFECTS the Public in anyway. She is a PRIVATE Citizen, with some money, that some like to hear speak. Yet the Media is NUTS trying to destroy her any and EVERY chance they get, and they get mad that SHE will not help them do it?

This is like a Bully in School that waits for Little Jimmy to walk home. Little Jim decides to go another direction. The next day, the Bully tells Little Jimmy, that he needs to know all the routes home Jimmy is going to take, times, ETC. and this way, the Bully can be there waiting for him to attack him properly. {Laughing}

This is why the Media is so ticked off at Palin. She will not play along. She will not HELP them attack her. Gosh Darn it. They've been outsmarted by that Wascally Palin. They even tried to say that SHE is a Danger to the Public. CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.

"I just hope to God that one of these young producers with a camera whose bosses are making them follow Sarah Palin as a potential Republican candidate don't get in a car crash, because this is dangerous," he said.

So because THEY are following her all over the place. SHE is to Blame? As for the Dumb Mindless Followers of Palin. I love this.

Corsaro asked a member of Palin's team if he thought it was dangerous to have reporters forced to chase her from stop to stop. "You're the ones that are trailing us," he replied.

You are the ones following us." {Laughing} He's right. They do not have to. They CHOOSE to.

Then you have THIS. THIS is just patently absurd.

MARTIN BASHIR: "It's time now to Clear the Air and to ask a question: what is the purpose behind Sarah Palin's current bus tour? It's difficult to ask that question directly because Sarah Palin specializes in checkbook journalism. That is, she only gives interviews to a network that pays her in excess of $1 million a year. So we're forced to make judgements from the outside and it all looks like the precursor to a presidential campaign. The vehicle itself reminds us of all those campaign buses that crisscross the nation at election time. The media are ever-present, catching her every handshake and every book signing. And the journey itself – visiting locations of national importance along the East Coast and proclaiming once again as the most patriotic American that ever lived.

And yet, even in her paid-for interview, she seems coy and almost confused about what she's doing. "This is not a campaign bus," she said on Fox News. "This is a bus to express to American how much we appreciate our foundation and to invite more people to be interested about all that is good about America." It all sounds like a wonderful commitment to American values and American history, but it's nothing of the kind. In fact, the whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States. Under standards of respect and etiquette, it's made clear that the flag of the United States should never be used for any advertising purpose whatsoever. Yet that's precisely what Sarah Palin is doing. She's using the flag of the United States for her own financial purposes. She drapes herself in the stars and stripes and makes millions of dollars in the process. This has got nothing to do with the presidency and everything to do with filling her pockets. And by raising her profile, she raises her income. It is as simple as that. So she was right when she said that hers is not a campaign bus. It's a cash bus and she'll keep it rolling for as long as she can. Thanks so much for watching."

She does not OWE any of you people, ANYTHING. You attack her. You attack her FAMILY. You go to her HOUSE. Now you are MAD at her for NOT playing along with ya? You know what they are mad at? She is making them all look like fools. This Stupid Hick, that stands no chance in winning an Election is making them look Stupid, every step of the way.

What about Obama Mr. Bashir? Any Politician that is. How much money do THEY raise where a Flag Pin? What about all that Money Obama gets while displaying the Flag? Hmm Mr Bashir? This is what we call grasping at straws, or REACHING for something. ANYTHING they think MIGHT destroy her. All it does is make them look even more desperate and Stupid. It IS fun to watch though.

Have a great day folks. See you soon.

Mass Media Drones Will Not Quit

MMD full out attack on Palin

Hey folks,

Happy Monday to you. Yes, it's true. The MMD {Mass Media Drones} are in full attack mode against Sarah Palin. They ABSOLUTLEY hate the fact she is bypassing them and talking directly to the American people. They absolutely HATE that she is telling the American people the TRUTH and bringing to light what THEY, the Mainstream Media have been trying to HIDE. The TRUTH about Obama.

I was just getting ready to leave the OPNTalk office Yesterday, when I caught this AP story via Yahoo news. AP - Analysis: Palin's words may backfire on McCain By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL, Douglass K. Daniel is a writer and editor with the Washington bureau of The Associated Press. This is NOTHING more than an outright hit piece on Palin and McCain. Problem is though, this guy is an idiot and has no clue what he is talking about. Here it is.

By claiming that Democrat Barack Obama is "palling around with terrorists" and doesn't see the U.S. like other Americans, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin targeted key goals for a faltering campaign.

STOP! A faltering Campaign? Who's? Maybe he is talking about Obama's campaign. Try as hard as you and the rest of the Obamaites in the MMD, McCain is NOT faltering. Despite your best efforts, most Americans see Palin as the CLEAR winner of the Debate. Sorry. You are just flat out wrong.

But you see folks, this is a typical Liberal maneuver. They dismiss McCain and Palin and try to get you to believe that it's over. There is no point in you dumb Racists hicks out there, clinging to your guns and Bibles to even bother voting. Obama is the next President and he will win in a landslide. So just stay home. You know, gas is still pretty high, thanks to Bush of course, so don't waste your time or money. Just accept Obama. That is who WE {The MMD} will elect for you. {Sigh}

And though she may have scored a political hit each time, her attack was unsubstantiated and carried a racially tinged subtext that John McCain himself may come to regret.

You are a complete Moron Mr. Daniel. What did I tell you folks. Race card yet again being played. Yet again, someone tells the TRUTH about Obama, "You are a RACIST!" Idiot.

As for "unsubstantiated?" That is just plain bull. Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles. Ayres also helped launch Obama's political career with a meet and greet at Ayers' house when Obama first ran for the Illinois state senate.

From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists.

The CAC was the brainchild of Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground in the 1960s. Among other feats, Mr. Ayers and his cohorts bombed the Pentagon, and he has never expressed regret for his actions. Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois State Senate was launched at a 1995 gathering at Mr. Ayers's home.

The Obama campaign has struggled to downplay that association. Last April, Sen. Obama dismissed Mr. Ayers as just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis." Yet documents in the CAC archives make clear that Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama were partners in the CAC. Those archives are housed in the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I've recently spent days looking through them....

Hell, even the Obama campaign itself said that Obama was friendly with Ayers. As for Obama not seeing the Country like Palin and McCain does? That is FACT also. Let's leave aside the whole association thing for a second. Be it Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan, or any other Liberal American hater, and focus on what Obama said. We'll even leave out his Wife's, hateful remarks toward the country also. Obama has said that America is broke. That we are not as great as we once were. That we are guilty of world woes. He does not believe in the American people. He wants to Socialize everything. Let the Government tell you what is best for you. McCain and Palin DO believe in the American Dream and letting people continue to seek it. They believe that it is the American people that can work together to solve whatever problems we face. Not the Government. The differences are CLEAR. Back to this Moron.

First, Palin's attack shows that her energetic debate with rival Joe Biden may be just the beginning, not the end, of a sharpened role in the battle to win the presidency.

"Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. A deliberate attempt to smear Obama, McCain's ticket-mate echoed the line at three separate events Saturday.

"This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," she said. "We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism."

This is all true. Sorry Mr. Daniel. You can call it an attack. But it is all true.

Obama isn't above attacking McCain with loaded words, releasing an ad on Sunday that calls the Arizona Republican "erratic" — a hard-to miss suggestion that McCain's age, 71, might be an issue. A harsh judgment, certainly, but not on the level of accusing a fellow senator of being un-American and even a friend of terrorists.

{Sigh} Then he writes this.

Second, Palin's incendiary charge draws media and voter attention away from the worsening economy. It also comes after McCain supported a pork-laden Wall Street bailout plan in spite of conservative anger and his own misgivings.

"It's a giant changing of the subject," said Jenny Backus, a Democratic strategist. "The problem is the messenger. If you want to start throwing fire bombs, you don't send out the fluffy bunny to do it. I think people don't take Sarah Palin seriously."

Wrong again. {Laughing} They DO take her seriously. You may not like her. But the American people sure do.

The larger purpose behind Palin's broadside is to reintroduce the question of Obama's associations. Millions of voters, many of them open to being swayed to one side or the other, are starting to pay attention to an election a month away.

For the McCain campaign, that makes Obama's ties to Ayers as well as convicted felon Antoin "Tony" Rezko and the controversial minister Jeremiah Wright ripe for renewed criticism. And Palin brings a fresh voice to the argument.

Effective character attacks have come earlier in campaigns. In June 1988, Republican George H.W. Bush criticized Democrat Michael Dukakis over the furlough granted to Willie Horton, a convicted murderer who then raped a woman and stabbed her companion. Related TV ads followed in September and October.

So again, telling the truth about these Liberals is an attack. Simply talking TRUTH is a character associations. But unfounded and completely bogus attacks on those on the Right are fair game. Even if they have to correct their "errors" later. Unbelievable. Typical, but unbelievable

The Vietnam-era Swift Boat veterans who attacked Democrat John Kerry's war record started in the spring of 2004 and gained traction in late summer.

"The four weeks that are left are an eternity. There's plenty of time in the campaign," said Republican strategist Joe Gaylord. "I think it is a legitimate strategy to talk about Obama and to talk about his background and who he pals around with."

Palin's words avoid repulsing voters with overt racism. But is there another subtext for creating the false image of a black presidential nominee "palling around" with terrorists while assuring a predominantly white audience that he doesn't see their America?

You Sir are the Racist. To say that one cannot criticize someone's REAL and ACCUTRATE past and associations is NOT racism. Calling one Racist for doing so, IS. What Palin said has nothing to do with Race. YOU and your ilk are the ones that see everything through the prism of Race.

In a post-Sept. 11 America, terrorists are envisioned as dark-skinned radical Muslims, not the homegrown anarchists of Ayers' day 40 years ago. With Obama a relative unknown when he began his campaign, the Internet hummed with false e-mails about ties to radical Islam of a foreign-born candidate.

Whether intended or not by the McCain campaign, portraying Obama as "not like us" is another potential appeal to racism. It suggests that the Hawaiian-born Christian is, at heart, un-American.

Mr. Daniels, I have a question for you. Are you REALLY this ignorant? Or is this just simply a sign of just how desperate you and your Liberal friends are. Is this a sign of you suffering from Palinoia? Or do you REALLY believe this garbage?

The fact is that when racism creeps into the discussion serves a purpose for McCain. As the fallout from Wright's sermons showed earlier this year, forcing Obama to abandon issues to talk about race leads to unresolved arguments about America's promise to treat all people equally.

John McCain occasionally says he looks back on decisions with regret. He has apologized for opposing a holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He has apologized for refusing to call for the removal of a Confederate flag from South Carolina's Capitol.

When the 2008 campaign is over will McCain say he regrets appeals such as Palin's?

Nope. You know what he will say? Despite you and your Liberal friends in the Mainstream Media's best effort? He will say "Good morning Vice President Palin."
