Limousine Liberal: Actress Susan Sarandon Attends Wall Street Protest On Way To Airport For Italy Vacation

Perhaps Sarandon is creating something new - the drive-by protest! From the NY Daily News: Wall Street protests get a boost of star power, Susan Sarandon shows up at demonstration

A week-old Wall St. protest got a little star power Tuesday in the form of activist actress Susan Sarandon.

This isn't a good sign for Sarandon:

"I'm just here to be educated," the "Bull Durham" star said as some of the young demonstrators in the crowd asked each other, "Who is she?"

But this is the part of the story that raised eyebrows:

Sarandon, 64, stopped by the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park on her way to catch a flight to Italy.

The protesters peppered her with questions about climate change, consumerism and the economy.

What would a moonbat actress know about any of those outside of what she's been told? The video with the story:

More from News 4: Teacher calls local Tea Party president a Nazi

Tempers flared during a town hall meeting on the Dream Act Tuesday night. During the meeting a high school government teacher from John F. Kennedy called the local Tea Party president a Nazi.

..."When you get to name calling that just shows that there is no logic to your argument any further. It's all emotion, " said George Rodriguez, President of the San Antonio Tea Party.

The teacher's emotion came from a panelist's comment that school administration should deport undocumented students.

"So you would have students in this room deported?" asked the teacher.

The panelist replied, "Yes, I would if they were illegal. You bet."

Rodriguez also told the teacher if the person is here illegally, they are breaking the law.

"You know what I would have? I would have you teach more balanced - conservative," added Rodriguez.

After those remarks is when the teacher made the Nazi comment saying, "You can just say what you are - a Nazi."

Did Hitler deport illegal immigrants or something?

Video: Actor Morgan Freeman Attacks Tea Party As Racist

This is just too bad. Morgan Freeman is one of my all-time favorite actors.

From The Politico via memeorandum: Morgan Freeman: Tea party is racist

During an interview that airs Friday, CNN’s Piers Morgan asked the actor, "Has Obama helped the process of eradicating racism or has it, in a strange way, made it worse?”

“Made it worse. Made it worse,” Freeman replied. “The tea partiers who are controlling the Republican party ... their stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term. What underlines that? Screw the country. We're going to do whatever we can to get this black man out of here."

So when black Democrats committed to making Bush a one-term President, what underlined that? What's the difference?

On the strength of the tea party, he said: “It just shows the weak, dark, underside of America. We’re supposed to be better than that. We really are.”

A few weeks ago, a disturbing story broke that Morgan Freeman was maintaining a 10-year relationship with his step-granddaughter with whom he had a questionable sexual encounter when she was young. Yes, they are not related through blood, but Freeman is 72 and E’Dena Hines is now 27, which means she would have been 17 when they first... um... got together. Once Freeman's wife found out about their secret affair she filed for divorce, and now the Enquirer is claiming that once proceedings go through, he and Hines are set to wed.

Rumor: ‘Glee’ Readies for Season of Tea Party Bashing

Hollywood is doing its part in trying to get our unqualified, in-over-his-head community organizer-in chief re-elected. From an email via Angela K, "it's election time and they're coming for the kids":

The rumor is that in this upcoming season Sue (Jane Lynch’s character) is going to run for Congress as a Tea Party candidate. If true, we can likely expect much bashing and proselytizing aimed at our children. Because there’s no place Hollywood is happier than when they find that sweet-spot to wedge themselves between parent and child.

The video below – a preview of next season — gives you a glimpse of what’s coming:

Maybe I’m wrong. Suspending taxpayer funding of the arts sounds awfully good to me, especially if it means focusing on reading and writing. Maybe the show’s finally seen the light and won’t present that “goofy” idea as, well, goofy. But then again, I’m a right-wing, gun-owning, liberty-loving, neanderthal — so what do I know?

The larger picture here is 2012. Hollywood knows Obama can’t win on his failed record and therefore you can expect Hollywood (and the MSM) to pull out all the vicious stops to make our side unelectable. The worse Obama’s poll numbers get, the uglier all of this will get. Count on it.

Again, this is only a rumor, but it sure as heck sounds like the Chicago way, no?

Tea Partier pleads guilty to threatening interracial couple with noose

Looks like the liberals were right. The tea party is racist and this episode proves it. A tea partier plead guilty to to mailing an interracial couple a noose and a pic of the dead body of O.J. Simpson's murdered ex-wife. Other pics included black men being lynched. Oh wait - did I say tea partier? I meant a black guy from Detroit! Via the News: Detroiter pleads guilty to threatening interracial couple with noose

A Detroit man pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to mailing an interracial couple a noose and a photo of the dead body of O.J. Simpson's murdered ex-wife.

Glenn E. Morgan Jr., faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland sentences him Jan. 12 in Detroit.

...Morgan, 40, admitted sending the noose and photos, including several of black men being lynched, to the Detroit couple on Patton Street in November 2008. The husband is black and his wife is white.

"N----- like you that bring WHITE TRASH into our community should be lynched for being RACE TRAITORS!!!!," the letter read, according to court records.

A message sent with the photo of Nicole Brown Simpson read: "This is the fate of the N----- Lovin white woman."

You won't see anything like the above in the tea party, especially those that are black. I got a chance to interview 3 black conservatives at a Sarah Palin rally in Clarkston, MI that I covered (coverage at the links here and here). I asked them specifically about the racial angle:

It's not about race, but rather policy, and it is the latter that gave rise to the tea party movement, not the former. Yet, opponents have done their best to paint the tea party as racist even though I have reported from many tea parties and my pics and interviews included black people there. In fact, there are many black tea party participants that are simply ignored by the media. I asked an interracial couple the race question at a recent tea party rally:

As well as Andrew, who brought together the Pontiac Tea Party and has seven interracial children (he brought 2 with him on this day):

Here's one more video from Washington DC:

The liberal MSM, as indicated by the many interviews in these tea party chronicles, hates black conservatives almost as much as the liberal activist left. Almost.

Jones called Republicans @ssholes back in February just before the non-stimulus stimulus package was rammed through without anyone having read it. Van Jones also went into total wackjob mode in this video accusing "white polluters" of steering pollution into black communities:

Video of Jesse Jackson on Tea Party: This is a Civil War struggle

Just when you thought the war talk yesterday at Obama's taxpayer-funded political stump speech in Detroit , prefaced with union head Jim Hoffa declaring "war" on the GOP and Tea Party, was a fluke, think again. Jesse Jackson on Tea Party: This is a Civil War struggle

At a Congressional Black Caucus Town Hall a few days ago in Los Angeles, Jesse Jackson told the audience that the Fort Sumter Tea Party supports the Tenth Amendment, or as he calls it, the slave amendment. Because of this, their fight against the Tea Party is a Civil War struggle. He asks “are you with the Union or the states’ rightists?”

The 10th amendment in fact has and had nothing to do with slavery despite activist judges and slave owners, who by the way also happened to be Democrats, insisting that it did. Funny that Democrats today still insist that it does.

Dem Analyst: Recession happened 2 1/2 years ago because of debt ceiling fight last month or something

The recession ended, according to economists, June 2009. It started in 2008, before the tea party was even created. How that recession can be pinned on the tea party is beyond me, but this guy (who is trying to set a record for how many times he can say "extreme" in relation to conservatives) gave it a shot nonetheless:

Despite evidence to the contrary, Alan Colmes repeats lie that tea party movement is racist because of 2010 DC incident that didn't happen

Liberal have glommed onto the fake, made-up, non-controversy controversy to smear, once again, the Tea Party movement and conservatives as raaaaacists. What makes this worse is that had Colmes actually done a knee-jerk piece back in March 2010, he would have had an excuse. But since then, video evidence has clearly shown that the events Colmes mentions did not happen. Then again, I am assuming Colmes actually emerges from his liberal echo chamber now and again. My assumption, however, might in fact be false.First, the lie: Alan Colmes Falsely Claims Rep. John Lewis Was Spat Upon by Tea Party

LAst I wrote about the discredited meme, it was in regards to another race-baiter: Despite evidence to the contrary, Leonard Pitts Jr repeats lie that tea party movement is racist because of DC incident that didn't happen. From his ridiculous piece that is once again picked up by the most liberal dead-wood dinosaur print media: Apologies don't excuse the rottenness within Tea Party protests

So it turns out that, contrary to what I argued in this space a few weeks back, racism is not "a major component" of the so-called Tea Party movement. I am informed of this by dozens of Tea Party activists indignant and insulted that I would even suggest such a thing.

In other news, Tea Party protesters called John Lewis a "nigger" the other day in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol.

For the record, Lewis wasn't their only target. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver was spat upon. Rep. Barney Frank, who is gay, was called "faggot."

Only problem is, none of those things happened. As I wrote back in March 2010, CNNs own video disproved the racist allegations (MSM claims DC Tea Party hurled racial slurs, CNN video disproves it). Dana Loesch observed that it started with one CNN reporter:

A CNN reporter, yes, CNN, the home of the infamous Susan Rosegen, claimed to have heard racist slurs and shouts; other bloggers picked it up. I mean, if you’re going to smear a group of people by claiming that they were shouting slurs, perhaps make sure you don’t post video that completely refutes your claim and makes you look like a race hustler. Just saying.

Here's the CNN video. Judge for yourself:

The MSM piled on faster than flies on feces:

HuffPo: Tea Party Protests: ‘Ni**er,’ ‘Faggot’ Shouted At Members Of Congress
McClatchy: Tea party protesters scream ‘nigger’ at black congressman
Yglesias: Rep Devin Nunes Endorses Racist and Homophobic Slurs
WaPo: ‘Tea party’ protesters accused of spitting on lawmaker, using slurs
Prescriptions:  Spitting and Slurs Directed at Lawmakers
TPDMC: Tea Partiers Call Lewis ‘N****r’, Frank ‘F****t’, At Capitol Hill Protest
CNN: Protesters hurl slurs and spit at Democrats 

But that wasn't the end of it. More and more videos were released from people that were there. None showed any racial epithets whatsoever. More than that thought was that Lewis' entourage included Jesse Jackson Jr who FILMED THE WHOLE THING! Check out this pic of Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr:

That's a flip-type camcorder that he was holding the entire way. Picked up nada as far as racist epithets go. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Came up empty. Don't got it. This the MSM doesn't get. Not only were there no racial epithets, there was no spitting either. From Dan Riehl: Video Seems To Confirm No Spitting On Congressman

Surely Colmes cannot possibly be oblivious to all the evidence against the meat of his narrative, could he? Well, as it urns out, he is oblivious. And don't call him Shirley.

The 'New Civility'(Cont'd): Congressional Black Caucus: Racist Tea Party Wants Black Americans ‘Hanging On a Tree’

Via BreitbartTV:

Over the past few weeks, members of the Congressional Black Caucus (an organization that excludes people from joining based on skin color) held job fair town hall events across the country. Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) told the attendees of his event that members of the Tea Party in congress would like to see "us hanging on a tree". Carson is the congressman who started the myth that Tea Party protesters hurled racial slurs at he and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) on the day of the ObamaCare vote.

Leonard Pitt Jr and the 'new civility' (cont'd): Tea Party Can Go to Hell, and I INTEND TO HELP THEM GET THERE

Why in the world does The Detroit Free Press continue to give this deranged hate-monger and race baiter a microphone? Unless they of course agree with his moonbattery. Last week, unhinged California moonbat Maxine Waters let her true feelings be known: Video of Maxine Waters That Media is Ignoring: Tea Party Can Go to Hell, ‘I INTEND TO HELP THEM GET THERE’. The video:

That show of civility was so sincere that it brought a tear to Pitts' eye, and was his muse for lionizing the hatefest: Finally, a message with backbone for the tea party. Pitts says that Waters has spine. I agree. Unfortunately there's nothing at the top of said spine, but anyway.

...Said spine was briefly glimpsed a little over a week ago at a jobs summit in Inglewood, Calif., in the person of U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters. "I'm not afraid of anybody," the California Democrat said. "... And as far as I'm concerned, the tea party can go straight to hell."

Yo Lenny - why leave out the part that came right after that- "and I intend to help them get there"? Furthermore, Pitts hypocritically excuses himself from

...Moreover, as hypocritical and self-serving as the tea party patriots' statement is, it is also correct: Telling people to go to hell is about as uncivil as it gets. I could never, in ordinary times, applaud such conduct.

But no one will ever mistake these for ordinary times.

This is the same Leonard Pitts Jr that blamed Sarah Palin supposed violent rhetoric for the Giffords shooting in January.I kid you not!: Leonard Pitts Jr: Sarah Palin was "theme music" to Arizona shooter. Democrats and GOP need to sit together at SOTU address to counteract it or something. This is directly from Pitts column back in January:

I invite you to ponder a controversy from the '90s. Some people, outraged by a violent heavy metal song called "Cop Killer" by a group called Body Count, sought to censor and boycott it out of existence, many saying it would cause cop killings.

...The same chain of logic -- and the same questions -- apply here. I do not believe alleged shooter Jared Lee Loughner was an average guy who, upon hearing some violent rhetoric from Sarah Palin, suddenly snapped and decided to shoot Giffords. But at the same time, I want to ask Palin: Should you really be providing that individual's theme music?

The man doesn't know when to quit. Weeks after the Arizona shooting that liberals used to attack Sarah Palin, the tea party, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and a whole host of liberal idiocy, Pitts never got the memo that the narrative had been discredited and that the shooter was a "left-wing pothead." Istead he used the occasion of the eve of Obama's SOTU address to attack Sarah Palin in particular. Again. The title of that column? This: Leonard Pitts Jr: Choose your seat as a gesture toward civility. Civility? Totally ignored is the regular hateful rhetoric of the left. And Leonard Pitts Jr is among those leftists that hurl vile, hateful rhetoric. Need I remind any readers of this blog some of the hateful things that came from Pitts keyboard? Accusing Christians of being like Nazis? (but then turned around a few columns later and used the Bible to push ObamaCare) Smearing the entire tea party movement as racist without a shred of evidence, and plenty of evidence to the contrary? How about this one for hatred: Tea Partiers are raaaaacist and need to go to the back of the bus. That's right, the back of the bus. How's that for hatred? He also likened an Obama gesture to one made by God almighty. Thee God. And thinks the gay agenda is equivalent to the issue of slavery, is pro-abortion but anti-death penalty, yet falsely blasted Republicans for not helping babies in Haiti after the earthquake. Hypocrite.

One last point about Pitts column, and it's way too easy to point out the lack of logic in this, but here it is anyway:

Seventy percent of us, according to a Gallup poll, think both tax increases and spending cuts ought to be used to reduce the budget deficit. That reasonable, balanced approach was not a part of the debt ceiling deal because the tea party threatened, credibly, to push the nation into default rather than allow it.

Two logical fallacies right there. First, 51% of taxpayers pay no federal income taxes at all. The next 40% wouldn't see their taxes increased at all. So why the surprise that 70% want tax increases... ON OTHER PEOPLE! But not themselves. The question should have been are you willing to pay more taxes yourself to reduce the budget deficit?' I would hypothesize that far less than 70% would have said yes. Second, not increasing the debt ceiling would not have precipitated a default. If your credit card reaches its limit, and you are denied an increase, you still will pay your mortgage bill rather than default. It's just that things you want (ObamaCare, welfare, tons and tons of waste and pork) are things you cannot afford. Good grief, Lenny!

Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL): ‘The Real Enemy Is the Tea Party’

Video of Maxine Waters That Media is Ignoring: Tea Party Can Go to Hell, ‘I INTEND TO HELP THEM GET THERE’

This must be that 'new civility' and 'new tone' that liberals were demanding of conservatives after the Giffords shooting in January. From yesterday's post: The 'New Civility' (Cont'd): Video of Maxine Waters: ‘Tea Party Can Go Straight To Hell’

But there's more. The media chopped the clip and for good reason: Despicable Maxine Waters Tea Party Attack Media is Ignoring: Tea Party Can Go to Hell, ‘I Intend to Help Them Get There’. That last part takes her moonbattery to a whole new level. The whole video:

While the media plays up the Los Angeles congresswoman's "the Tea Party can go straight to hell' comments from this weekend, they are ignoring what she said right after that. When the wild cheers of the audience calmed down, Rep. Waters then said: "And I intend to help them get there."

Is there any doubt that if a Tea Party representative had said that "the Congressional Black Caucus can go straight to hell and we intend to help them get there", we would be hearing loud condemnations about the hateful rhetoric from the extremists in the Republican Party?

Liberal websites would have headlines like 'tea party wants to murder US Representative' if the above roles were totally reversed.

UPDATE: Santorum on Maxine Waters: ‘Vile’
