As per Drudge:
Oprah Winfrey may have introduced Democrat Barack Obama to the women of America -- but the talkshow queen is not rushing to embrace the first woman on a Republican presidential ticket...
"Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on," an insider explains. "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."
One executive close to Winfrey is warning any Palin ban could ignite a dramatic backlash!
Last year, Winfrey blocked an appearance by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, timed to a promotional tour of his autobiography....
Oprah and executive producer Sheri Salata, who has contributed thousands of dollars to Obama's campaign, refused requests for comment.
Well, if the Democrats ever get their "Fairness Doctrine", Oprah is going to have to book the likes of Palin, by government decree. Sucker!!
Well, The Daytime Queen is now exposed as just another MSM whore, on her knees in front of the Messiah, and it seems as if even her viewers know it. Over at Volokh, they do the research, and to me it seems to point out that the media isn't even bothering to "spin" anymore, they are just outright lying to protect The Undeserving One:
If one compares Palin’s speech to Obama’s, it appears to me that they used similar amounts of sarcasm (not much), but Obama made considerably more extensive negative comments about McCain and Republican administrations than Palin did about Obama and Democrats. Palin’s negative comments, however, were on balance funnier, better written, and more pointed than Obama’s.
Jim adds:
By continuing to spread false memes about the nature of Sarah Palin's speech as if they were true, the press marches forward in the most biased season of political reporting I've seen since at least 1998.
With the race a virtual tie, in polling done before McCain's speech, you know this is going to get way, way uglier in the next sixty days. Can the media pull itself back from the brink?
It may be too late for Us magazine; apparently thousands are cancelling their subscriptions to Jan Wenner’s weekly celeb rag over its “Babies, Lies & Scandals” cover slamming Sarah Palin:
I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions....
When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart," says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead in the water, and their mistake was thinking everyone who reads "Us" is a Democrat, when they’re not.
A mistake, I believe, that is being repeated ad naseum....

How that Sarah Palin bashing actually worked out....
We asked that question, quite tounge-in-cheek, yesterday.
Today we have the answer, with tounge no longer firmly implanted in cheek, but with jaw wide open:
The Associated Press reports that, counting PBS, over 40 million Americans watched Sarah Palin on television last night--more, by around two million, than saw Barack Obama in Denver.
A big shout-out and special thanks to the asswipes on the liberal blogs, and to their lapdogs in the mainstream media who couldn't wait to reprint and rebroadcast their hatred and lies.
We couldn't have gotten the message out without you!

Little Known Fact
.....Sarah Palin is the reason compasses point North.
Todd Palin knows these facts, and more:
"If I’d had a crystal ball a few years ago, I might have asked a few more questions when Sarah decided to join the PTA. It wouldn’t have mattered, though; when my wife starts talking about reform, corruption and making government work for the people, it’s just best to get out of the way."

So how's that Sarah Palin bashing working out for you now?
A tour de force last night from the Lady Up North, who gained legions of fans and made fools of the media in one fell swoop. From Roger Simon:
In all my years writing movies, going to drama school, etc., I have almost never seen anything so dramatic. It was the rebirth of Frank Capra for our times - Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington. This woman is a star and a star of the American kind we have not seen for years. She really is born live from a Capra movie, from the days Hollywood told stories about the greatness of our country. I don’t agree with her about with her about everything but so what? I don’t agree with anybody about everything except, luckily for me, my wife. But Sarah Palin is a force of nature.
The big losers tonight are obvious: Joe Biden, who will look like hackopathropus erectus next to her, a dinosaur out the Washington everybody hates, and Hillary Rodham Clinton who, I would bet anything, was staring at her television set in horror tonight at the possible first woman president of the United States - and it’s not her!
Mark Steyn gives credit where credit is due:
I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin - whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin - as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn't worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.
How's that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your "devoted husband John Edwards" routine?
Barack Obama, welcome to your nightmare.....
And more and more facts about Sarah Palin are coming to light:
-The diamonds in Sarah Palin’s earrings were crushed with her very hands.
-Glasses sales are up 150 percent since Sarah palin became nominee.
-It’s not over until Sarah Palin says it’s over.
More reasons to fear Sarah Palin are here....

Palin and the Jews
Look at the window; notice the little flag that Governor Palin has stuck there.....
Another reason for the media's fear and loathing of Sarah Palin....can she actually pull a few Jewish votes off of the Obama bandwagon?
And yet another reason for the Demcrats, they of the anti-semitic dog whistle, to fear and loathe Ms. Palin as well.
And yet another display of her refreshing honesty, and "newness" - she doesn't need to have an Israeli flag in her office; the Jewish population of Alaska is negligible, and it is unlikely she has any fundraisers among the big-time Jewsih groups that she feels she must impress.
No, the flag is there because she believes in the nation of Israel, and its rightousness. And I believe this woman with a penchant for automatic weapons will do everything in her power to protect this tiny nation, unlike a certain other party that cannot wait to throw it under the grinding gears of the Arab bus....
OK, OK, so I have a bit of a crush going on here. But loving Sarah Palin is...."Right"!
"Sneering" at Sarah Palin
Gee, a slightly less-than-positive response to the Sarah Palin VP pick by the Left and their lapdogs in the mainstream media, huh?
The Wall Street Journal has it diagnosed right today:
Even as the Obama camp ponders how best to handle John McCain's veep pick of Sarah Palin, the high priests and priestesses of the media have marked her as an apostate. The Beltway class is in full-throated rebellion against a nondomesticated conservative who might pose a threat to their coronation of Barack Obama and the return of Camelot-on-the-Potomac...
They want a VP to be a kind of parliamentary choice, someone they have already vetted, someone who's made them laugh with insider jokes at the Gridiron dinner...
What's really going on here is that the Beltway class can see how popular the Palin pick is with Republicans outside Washington, and especially with middle-class conservatives....
And what the WSJ does not say (but should) to that last point is, "...so they are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at her in order to stop her ascent in middle-America's consciousness". That "everything" includes sexism and regionalism, which I am just now learning is a hate crime when used against Democrats, but fine and dandy as a weapon against Republican women.
Over at The Plank, there is fair warning posted to the Democrats:
She's just a small town mayor, just a hockey mom, just a beauty pageant queen. Palin has never shunned these belittling monikers, in part, I imagine, because the camouflage has served her so well. Soothed by the litany, her opponents tend to sleep too late, sneer too much, and forget who it is that hires them.
....what the Democrats seem poised to miss now--is that she is a true political savant; a candidate with a knack for identifying the key gripes of the populace and packaging herself as the solution. That keen political nose has enabled her to routinely outperform her resume. Nearly two years into her administration, she still racks up approval ratings of 80 per cent or better.
But in probing this candidate, it would behoove the Democrats and the pundits to shed the notion that they are dealing with some dimwitted bumpkin (Dan Quayle seems to come up a lot lately) who’s going to start crying when they ask her to name the president of Azerbaijan; or that Palin is the townie who was brought into the Skull & Bones initiation night for the amusement of all; or that somehow the prom queen ballots got mixed up with the Alaska gubernatorial poll. Trivialize her at your own peril.
Sarah Palin is a living reminder that the ultimate source of political power in this country is not the Kennedy School or the Davos Summit or an Ariana Huffington salon; even now, power emanates from the electorate itself. More precisely, power in 2008 emanates from the working class electorates of Pennsylvania and Ohio...
The media is going to be faced with its disconnect shortly: Bash Sarah for "inexperience", and you need to then explain what Obama has done better. Compare her to a latter-day Quayle (despite the fact she has not committed gaffe one), and you have to face up to Obama's "57 states" and his many, many other verbal faux paus. Question her devotion to her family and you raise the ugly spectre of misogyny, which will only drive those middle class woman to throw their bodies in front of her, and cast their vote for her. You want to bring up the so-called Alaskan "troopergate scandal"? Fine, let's talk Bill Ayers as well.....
This media line of attack on Sarah Palin is hurting Obama more than helping him, but their partisanship and sheer distaste for the Republican party is making them blind as well as stupid. But please, don't stop on my account.
Again: McCain/Palin. In a rout....

"Palin Porn"
Well, that's what they are calling the mad search for pictures of the lovely Governor (and soon to be Vice President) Sarah Palin. So let me add my modest contribution, below:
In Kuwait; with grateful troops....
Not her bike; I checked - part of a raffle giveaway for veterans. Fetching, still....
Enough said.
As the naughty librarian.
No suprise, this.....
More Palin fun here and here....
Go ahead, MSM, try to bring the lady down...I dare ya!
"Balance" at the BBC...
...means putting the worst light on anything that can even possibly be beneficial to the Republicans; and in this case, feminism goes by the wayside, as Sarah Palin Must Be Destroyed:McCain unveils 'The Barracuda'
Nice. Bet the Dems wish they headlined their press releases with that one. Still, no matter, the BBC does dutifully repeat the Democrat's talking points:
As commander of the Alaska National Guard, she visited troops in Kuwait last year, but has a very thin foreign policy background.
Similarly, while she does have executive experience, the Obama campaign wryly pointed out she had been the mayor of a town with just 9,000 people.
Palin's one visit (pics here) to Kuwait is equal, I believe, to candidate Obama's one visit - which was more of a stopover on his "terrorist listening tour" of earlier this summer. As per news reports, this paragon of leadership "shook hands, answered questions, posed for photos and played a little basketball during the (two hour) visit."
And the BBC is the only one who described the "mayor" slur as "wry"; even Barack Obama backpedaled away from that meme ASAP. Is the BBC further to the left than the Democratic Party? Or is it they just can't stand to see a woman ascend to power without constantly reminding her to "know her place"?
Hat tip to Biased BBC, who will no doubt keep us informed of how the British government's media arm is twisting the election news from the States....
Maybe somebody out to wise up the BBC to a few important Sarah Palin facts:
Sarah Palin begins every day with a moment of silence for the political enemies buried in her yard.
And perhaps someone should whisper this sweet reminder into Howard Dean's ear:
Sarah Palin always beats the point spread....

Friday Metaphors
From the LA Times:
Daytime talk show diva and billionaire businesswoman Oprah Winfrey, who played a crucial early primary role in raising the prominence of her fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama, was so moved by her man's Democratic acceptance speech Thursday night that she cried off her false eyelashes.
Apt !

Madonna: Shilling for McCain?
Well, of course not. But her immature antics are so over the top that it reminds me of the celebrity behavior that started to drive more folks towards Bush in 2004:
John McCain's campaign hit back at Madonna on Sunday after the pop diva kicked off her world tour with a concert that bracketed the US presidential candidate with Adolf Hitler.
McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds angrily condemned the segment of Madonna's concert in Cardiff on Saturday that appeared to draw a comparison between McCain, Hitler and Zimbabwean strongman Robert Mugabe.
"The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time," Bounds said in a statement reported by Fox News.
"It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off limits."
Madonna's apparent swipe at McCain came during a performance of the song "Get Stupid", when the Republican contender's image was flashed up alongside images of destruction and global warming as well as Hitler and Mugabe.
As opposed to her juxtapositioning the Messiah with...:
Towards the end of the song, pictures of Beatles star John Lennon, former US vice-president Al Gore, Indian Mahatma Gandhi and McCain's Democrat rival Barack Obama appeared.
Is this election going to be about "change", as Obama and the media are trying to dictate? No, John McCain has already co-opted the dialogue - Eection 2008 is going to be about celebrity, and who's got less of it.
When the call comes at 3 AM, do you really want the President to send it to voice mail because he is texting sweet nothings to Scarlett Johansson?

The Democrat's Dog Whistle
If Barack Obama isn't enough of a peek through the window of the soul of the Democratic party, check out the Baseball Crank, who finds a webpage - proudly paid for by the Democratic National Committee - on potential McCain running mate Eric Cantor.
Did you know he's Jewish?
Don't worry, you will, because the DNC will somehow manage to bring it up five times in a 660 word piece.
Wonder who that dog whistle is for?

Obama hearts Ayers...
....and at least someone is talking about it:
Go visit The American Issue Project to get more info on the Weather Underground and Ayer's history of radical tactics and extreme violence.
Meanwhile, in one of the greatest acts of moral equivalency seen since Jimmy Carter last visited the Mideast, Obama is comparing the American army preserving a struggling new democracy in Iraq to the Russian army raping a struggling new democracy in Eastern Europe. Via Gateway Pundit:
Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too.
The Illinois senator’s opposition to the Iraq war, which his comment clearly referenced, is well known. But this was the first time the Democratic presidential candidate has made a comparison between the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Russia’s recent military activity in Georgia.
“We’ve got to send a clear message to Russia and unify our allies,” Obama told a crowd of supporters in Virginia. “They can’t charge into other countries. Of course it helps if we are leading by example on that point.”
Of course! Like all of the world's problems, it's America's fault the Russians tore their newly liberated neighbors a new *sshole!
Just the kind of thinking you'd expect from a Friend of Bill(Ayers).
The fact, incidentally, that the Democrats nominated this man as their standard-bearer says a lot more about the Democrats' standards than it does about the man. We now know Obama, hence his plummeting poll numbers. But if he is simply emblematic of the Democratic party as a whole, well, then, it is a party that has revealed its soul.
And, like all self-loathers, it is an ugly one.

"McCain. In A Rout"
Yeah, we said that, yesterday.
Hope we called it first; 'cause the numbers are starting to swing, and swing fast: For the first time since RealClearPolitics has been drawing its 2008 election map, John McCain has the 270+ needed to win the election. With leaners, but still.....even Zogby (a notoriously pro-Democratic pollster) has McCain up by six.
And this is going into the Democratic Convention, mind you, with the VP intrigue and the anticipated Amphitheater coronation and the Great Uniting....
Man, if you thought the Democrats were frustrated the last two cycles, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Maybe this time, though, some of them will actually move to Canada, instead of just talking about it....

Watcha Hiding, Baracky?
Some much for the era of "open governemnt", or perhaps..."What's Barack's Secret?"
....the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren't available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm's clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won't release his application to the state bar (where critics wonder if he lied in responding to questions about parking tickets and past drug use); he’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to convicted donor Rezko; and he's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.
Now the University of Illinois at Chicago is denying Stanley Kurtz access to documents relating to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a small foundation, founded and inspired by Bill Ayers, for which Obama served as board chairman.
McCain, folks. In a rout, come November...
The writing on the wall here...
....the public cannot get access to paperwork related grants distributed by then-state-legislator Obama (records from 1997 to 2000 aren't available); his state legislative office records (which he says may have been thrown out); he refuses to release a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm's clients, numbering several hundred each year; he won't release his application to the state bar (where critics wonder if he lied in responding to questions about parking tickets and past drug use); he’s never released any legal or billing records to verify that he only did a few hours of work for a nonprofit tied to convicted donor Rezko; and he's never released any medical records, just a one-page letter from his doctor.
Now the University of Illinois at Chicago is denying Stanley Kurtz access to documents relating to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a small foundation, founded and inspired by Bill Ayers, for which Obama served as board chairman.
McCain, folks. In a rout, come November...

More Anti-Semitism From Fat D-List Pseudo-Celebrity
Yup, Roseanne Barr is back in the news - for a swipe at Brad and Angelina. Who gives a f*ck, you say? Well, her attack on Angelina focuses on her dad's (Jon Voight) recent coming-out as a Hollywood conservative (gutsy!), and Roseanne Barr leaps for the jugular like the filthy old dog that she is, and inadvertantly (?) vomits out the trendy "neocon/Jew" connection:
"[Jon Voight] is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wandered in from the rain forest with a bone thru his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth. The neocons who own jon voight and make him dance on the chabad telethons are the worst most elitist people on earth. glen beck and jon voight are their bitches... both of them are used tampons who must be flushed down the toilet immediately! jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin')."
Chabad is a form of Lubavitch Judaism:
The founder of the Chabad thought system, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, developed an intellectual system and approach to Judaism intended to answer criticisms of Hasidism as anti-intellectual.
Sigh...it's always about the evil Jews, even in Hollywood....
I'd kick this hate-filled b*tch in the crotch, but I'd hate to ruin the good shine on my shoes....

Barack Obama Bemoans Pesky American "Democracy" and its Bitter Inhabitants...
Seems like whenever St. Barack goes to San Francisco, he gets a bit unhinged. Remember bitterness, God, and guns? This time it's that annoying habit of allowing people in this country to actually, you know, vote for their leadership that's getting under his thin skin:
“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report. He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
"Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so," he told the crowd. "It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working."
“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out.
But American politics aren’t that simple," he said."The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept," he said.
Ah. So the reason we are not willing to raise The Chosen One on our shoulders and carry him to his rightful throne is because we are...wait for it...bitter!
Because we haven't been served enough by government, by the way.
I don't know what, exactly, this country would look like after four years of Democratic control with Obama at the helm.
I just know it wouldn't look like America.

Barack Obama: Anti-Christ!
Well, if you see it on the web, it must be true, right?
Especially if the National Review is making the reference (even if it is only to point out that the media blames "sinister GOP operatives " for the, ahem, rumors).
So I did some digging - how would we know this AntiChrist should he walk the earth - and unearthed some startling coincidences:
Antichrist goes about his business by speaking the lie... Revelation 13:12 says, "and he spoke as a dragon...." Revelation 17 tells us that he was a false prophet, a prophet being one whose calling it is to speak and to teach... In his initial attempts to destroy the cause of God, the devil used a serpent to deceive the woman with crooked speech: "You will be like God." Now he uses a "dragon" who speaks crafty, lying words.
His speeches will be heard by millions who will hang on his persuasive rhetoric. The content as well as the form of his speech will attract. Like most false prophets, he will even be sincere and passionate. But he is a liar. He adds dashes of truth to the mix, so that his lie tastes like truth. He will use all the right catchwords, using the language of the church, even throwing in a Bible text or two. But he is the ultimate Liar, and will deceive many.
He will use every tool available: school teachers, politicians, news broadcasters, artists, musicians, scientists and doctors, lawyers and businessmen. All will be pressed into the service of Antichrist to deceive men....
Wow!
"Persuasive rhetoric"; "the Ultimate Liar"; "news broadcasters"!
I know someone else who is gettng persuaded....anyway, here's more:
The Antichrist--also described in the Bible as the "son of perdition" & the "beast"!
.... he will have great charisma & speaking ability, "a mouth speaking great things".
The Antichrist will rise to power on a wave of world euphoria, as he temporarily saves the world from its desperate economic, military & political problems with a brilliant 7-year plan for world peace, economic stability & religious freedom.
"World euphoria", huh? Hello, Berlin....
There's a dedicated website, which banners itself thusly:
...he has risen up out of no where, he mesmerizes crowds, people are gathering in huge numbers, he is likely becoming the next President of the United States. Do not look only to what I say, but look to your Bibles...
And people have been postulating on the whole Obama/Satan thing since 2004; when many eyes first alit upon The One at the Democratic Convention:
...When I first heard of Barak, a few days ago, the first thing I heard is that he is a guy who came out of nowhere and now many flock to his side. When my wife and I heard this, we both thought the same thing, the anti-christ....
....While I was watching him, the VERY FIRST thought that came to my mind was asking the Lord if I was looking at the AC. ....
...He has an eerie magnetism...I'm going with my gut on this one. My sister and I both feel something "spooky" about this guy, but can't quite figure out what it is.
My favorite- same thread:
....If he turns out to not be the antichrist, then his message is a good thing.
Well, this whole thing bears following, folks - even if Snopes claims that the rumors are "false"...
But finally - I'm down with this guy's conclusion:
But until someone gives me a reasonable explanation for his popularity, I'm going to leave the door to this thought open, just a crack...
Yeah. I'm still waiting for that explanation, by the way...
UPDATE: "Get yer Obama-is-the-antichrist T-shirts here!"
UPDATE II: Go here, and see how the media is blaming the Republicans for the fact that the Democrats nominated the spawn of Satan...

Obama: On America....
"The Republic is no longer what it once was."
Well, one can certainly argue that...
Hey!
Barack Obama didn't say that - Emperor Palpatine did! (Star Wars, episode III - "The Revenge of the Sith")
Oh, wait....here's Obama's quote:
"America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children."
One can understand my confusion, I hope.
This, in answer to a little girl's question as to why Obama wanted to be president.
Speaks volumes.
See it here: "Obama: America Sucks, and Only I Can Save It"....
