Well Miss Piggy and Kermit did not take that lying down. They recently held a press conference to fight back!

Not a good move for Fox News, [...]]]> Fox News recently attacked the newest version of the Muppet Movie(maybe they were mad Pee Wee Herman didn’t make an appearance) as being too liberal(honest)

Well Miss Piggy and Kermit did not take that lying down. They recently held a press conference to fight back!

Not a good move for Fox News, because we now know that Miss Piggy is more credible, speaks more clearly and has more relevant things to say than Brit Hume!

1. Five Missouri State democratic legislators(four of which are African American women) found rifle crosshair [...]]]> Here are a list of links about your Republican party that need to be shared, but that I did not have the time, patience or inclination to go into more detail. They however really do speak for themselves!

1. Five Missouri State democratic legislators(four of which are African American women) found rifle crosshair stickers on the office doors.

2. In Arizona(yes Jan Brewer's AZ) a police SARGENT posted a picture on facebook of a bullet riddled T-shirt with President Obama's picture on it!

The Secret Service is investigating an Arizona police officer over a picture he posted on Facebook that appeared to show President Barack Obama riddled with bullets.

Peoria’s Sgt. Pat Shearer admitted to KNXV that he took the photo of several young men — possibly minors — posing with guns and an Obama “Hope” T-shirt that had been destroyed by gunfire. The photo went viral after Shearer posted it to his Facebook page.

“Another trip to the ranch,” read the caption on the photo, according to Phoenix New Times. Comments on the photo included, “Damn it feels good to be a gangsta,” and, “They look like Gangsta’s huh?”

Two of the young men are holding what appears to be assault rifles and another is sporting a pistol.

“I don’t think that the shooting of that T-shirt is that big of a deal,” Shearer said. “It was more of a political statement.”

3. Anti American extremist Grover Norquist says that if President Obama does not extend the Bush tax cuts, he will have him impeached:

NJ: What if the Democrats still have control? What’s your scenario then?

NORQUIST: Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, he’s gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. He’s made no effort to work with Congress.

Let’s make absolutely sure the republicans do not have the senate!!

4. Republican presidential contender Rick Santorum sought to limit malpractice awards for everyone but his wife(I know color me surprised):

On the campaign trail, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum says he will push to limit payments to victims in medical malpractice lawsuits, which he blames for unnecessarily driving up health-care costs. And over the course of his two decades in politics, he repeatedly spoke in favor of capping such awards.

But Santorum testified in support of his wife when she filed a medical malpractice suit in 1999 that sought $500,000, twice the cap in his 1994 legislative proposal. Karen Santorum claimed that a Fairfax chiropractor had left her with a permanent back injury that probably would result in a lifetime of pain medication and restricted mobility.

5. Leaders from the Catholic church have sent a letter to Republican presidential contenders Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, and asked them “to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail.”

Catholic leaders issued a letter Friday to GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, themselves Catholics, urging them “to stop perpetuating ugly racial stereotypes on the campaign trail.”

The letter, signed by 45 Catholic leaders says:

Mr. Gingrich has frequently attacked President Obama as a “food stamp president” and claimed that African Americans are content to collect welfare benefits rather than pursue employment. Campaigning in Iowa, Mr. Santorum remarked: “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”

“At a time when nearly 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty, charities and the free market alone can’t address the urgent needs of our most vulnerable neighbors. And while jobseekers outnumber job openings 4-to-1, suggesting that the unemployed would rather collect benefits than work is misleading and insulting,” the letter adds.

“This statement is urging prominent Catholics in the race to go back and look at church teaching,” John Gehring, the Catholic outreach coordinator at Faith in Public Life, tells The Florida Independent, adding “that the letter is also about poverty.”

“The Catholic bishops have been incredibly important in raising a prophetic voice that really challenges those who think that the free market alone can sort of solve our economic problems,” Gehring says.

“You have Catholic conservative leaders, like John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and they’ve all been looking to dismantle vital social safety nets,” Gehring says.

Priebus has a history of not telling the truth, and RNC chair Reine Priebus, who turned on his friend Michael Steele to get the job, has done it again. First a little backstory. Reince Priebus, was a former WI rnc head and Michael Best & Friederich lawyer, has an interesting resume.

Priebus has a history of not telling the truth, and blatant hypocrisy. Likes to refer to President Obama as Osama, does not like when minorities vote, and lies whenever possible about voter fraud. Now Reince is up to his old despicable tricks again.

Now Priebus is comparing President Obama to the Italian cruise ship captain Francesco Schettino.

. “In a few months, this is all going to be ancient history,” Priebus said in response to a question about the brutal GOP primary, “and we are going to talk about our own little Captain Schettino, which is President Obama who is abandoning the ship here in the United States and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president.” At least 17 people died in the cruise ship disaster.

Priebus is a disgrace to the great state of Wisconsin and owes our President an apology.

The problem here is Ms. Brewer is starting to believe [...]]]> Recently Arizona Governor Jan Brewer met President Obama on the runway of an airport and they exchanged words. Well it does not take much to make one a right wing hero(if even for a day) and this propelled her to stardom on the right:

The problem here is Ms. Brewer is starting to believe the hype. She seems to have forgotten this moment in her gubernatorial debate in the last election:

Well Ms. Thick skinned handled this debacle like you would expect a republican to handle it – she cancelled the rest of the debates that were scheduled.

Then she falsely claimed(ie lied) that there muliple beheadings in the desert. This claim was so insane that the local reporters wanted to know more. Here Ms. Brewer is showing more of her thick skin by (again as expected) turning tail and running.

So when it comes to Jan Brewer – do not believe the hype!

The video I posted was edited and re-posted with the permission of the fine folks [...]]]> Watch and listen as Republican State Sen. Mike Ellis of Neenah expresses his feelings about Green Bay Preble High School, calling it a “sewer” while holding court with Republican State Rep. Robin Vos and Republican State Sen. Sheila Harsdorf.

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. 
This is being done at the [...]]]> Yesterday the Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins made their appearance at the White House. One of only three US players on the Bruins, Goalie Tim Thomas Skipped the ceremony:

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People. 
This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government. 
Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL. 
This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT”

Was the “independent” professional athlete making a statement for better Government? Not so much:

Thomas is a staunch Republican and actually mentioned “Glenn Beck” as the person he’d most like to have dinner with in the Bruins 2011-12 Media Guide.

This story sounds strangely familiar to Wisconsin Sports fans, doesn't it Mark Chumura?

I am sure that with about 30 seconds of digging, some local columnist will be able to point out the incredibly hypocrisy of Mr. Thomas also. I still can’t believe that there are people in this country who still take Glenn Beck seriously.
