American Idiot 2: Jason Biggs knocks Christians; targets Ann Romney and Janna Ryan with vile tweets. “@GODisSanta420: @JasonBiggs How dare you ignore Ann Romney's asshole. Ur un-American.” Sorry ur right. I bet hers is un-bleached and hairy.— Jason Biggs (@JasonBiggs) August 31, 2012 Looks like Jason Biggs is still defiling that pie … if by “pie” you mean “contract with Nickelodeon.” Yesterday Twitchy reported that the “American Pie” actor tweeted about sexually assaulting Paul Ryan’s wife. But Pig Biggs wasn’t done tweeting misogynist filth about political wives. “@jennyandteets: People are cheering off screen because Janna Ryan is showing her tits! Revolting. Crickets. Biggs also got in a dig at Christians. Clint Eastwood talking to a non-responsive stool sorta sums up Christianity in a nutshell, huh Republicans?
How’s that for liberal tolerance? Sadly @JasonBiggs feels his religious bigotry is worth sharing ~ Adam Baldwin (@adamsbaldwin) August 31, 2012 Liberal celebs all talk like @jasonbiggs. I love leftists who insult Christians like it's edgy. Update: Ann Romney fires back at Bill Clinton on auto bailouts - The Hill's Video. “Mitt’s father would be cheering and would be with Mitt 100 percent,” Ann Romney said on Fox News.
"Because, you know, what Mitt suggested was finally what happened, is that they went through a structured bankruptcy — it's exactly what ended up happening. Mitt just said to do that before they already spent $17 billion. So no, Mitt's father would be cheering, cheering with Mitt. " Yesterday, former president Clinton hit Romney on the auto bailout by citing his father, who was governor of Michigan and a chief executive at American Motors Corp. “Every time I hear Mr. Romney opposed the federal bailout of the auto industry and said General Motors and Chrysler should have been put through a structured bankruptcy. Democrats and President Obama say the federally funded rescue saved the automakers, and are trying to turn Romney’s opposition to the bailouts into a political liability.

Attendees voice their opposition to Democratic Party platform changes reinserting language supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and a reference to God. With heavy booing from dissenters, the Democratic National Convention voted Wednesday to reinstate language supporting Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to restore a reference to God in its party platform. DNC Chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa conducted a voice vote of the delegates on the proposed platform changes, asking for yeses and nos three times because of how similar the responses sounded. A two-thirds vote was required to adopt the change. Despite clear opposition, Villaraigosa declared the amendment had passed, prompting loud booing.
According to the Associated Press, President Barack Obama personally intervened to get the platform changed back. Democrats had been sharply criticized for not including the language, including by fellow party members. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Democrats Remove ‘God’ From 2012 Party Platform. Photo Credit: FILE The Democratic Party may be getting a fair amount of attention this week — and not only because the political movement is hosting its national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Another point of focus has already been the contents — or the lack thereof — present in the 2012 Democratic Party Platform. Earlier today, we told you that the document fails to mention Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a proclamation that was previously touted by the party.
And now, in an even more shocking revelation, CBN News is reporting that the Democrats have removed mentions of “God” from the document as well. (RELATED: ‘Godless’: Sen. Durbin Lashes Out at Fox Host Who Called Him Out Over Dems Removing ‘God’ From Platform) This is a departure from the past. In the end, the Democratic platform doesn’t mention the words “God” or “Lord” even one time. But, as CBN’s David Brody notes, the Democratic document isn’t entirely devoid of religious sentiment. (H/T: CBN’s David Brody) Factchecker: Romney’s ’12 million jobs’ promise. “And unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs.” -- Mitt Romney This sounds like a pretty bold statement, especially considering that only two presidents—Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton—created more than 12 million jobs.
Romney, in fact, says he can reach this same goal, in just four years, though the policy paper issued by his campaign contains few details. It is mostly a collection of policy assertions, such as such as reducing debt, overhauling the tax code, fostering free trade and so forth. But, in fact, the number is less impressive than it sounds. The Congressional Budget Office is required to consider the effects of the so-called “fiscal cliff” if a year-end budget deal is not reached, which many experts believe would push the country into a recession. But Moody’s Analytics, in an August forecast, predicts 12 million jobs will be created by 2016, no matter who is president. Code Pink Tries to Disrupt Mitt Romney Convention Speech. Code Pink protesters attempted to disrupt Mitt Romney's presidential nominatin acceptance speech at the Republian National Convention Thursday night.
(Image source: Twitter user @scarlett_0hara) TAMPA, Fla. — Code Pink activists infiltrated the main Republican National Convention hall during Mitt Romney’s speech Thursday night and tried unsuccessfully to disrupt his remarks. The chants of “people over profits!” Happened early on in Romney’s acceptance of his party’s nomination for president before they were quelled by chants of “U-S-A! U-S-A!” Security quickly dragged the protesters out of the arena and Romney continued speaking without pause or any acknowledgement of what happened. He may not have even been aware there was a protest. Code Pink tweeted about the incident: “BREAKING: 4 @CODEPINK activists speak out during Mitt Romney during his presidential candidate nomination acceptance speech.” Obama Lies While Accusing the Romney Campaign of Lying.
If you want a near perfect encapsulation of how the Obama campaign is leaning on incompetent partisans masquerading as "independent" media fact checking organizations to do their dirty work, I strongly encourage you to read today's article in the New York Times, "Obama Team Sharpens Attacks on Rivals’ Character. " While the article is a far too credulous regarding the fact checker response to Paul Ryan's speech, it does contain this gem: Mr. Obama this week, for the first time, entered the fray. Campaigning on Tuesday on college campuses in Iowa and Colorado, he told thousands of supporters not to believe the opposition’s attacks because, “how do I put this nicely? They will just fib.” Emphasis added. ‘Sand Obama’ Sand Sculpture in Charlotte. In this photograph, onlookers check out a 15.5 ton sand sculpture of President Barack Obama created by VisitMyrtleBeach.com Saturday, Sept. 1, 2012 in Charlotte, N.C. ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
(Photo: AP) Photos of a massive sand sculpture of President Obama in Charlotte, North Carolina ahead of the Democrat National Convention are circulating throughout the Internet, prompting a number of “shovel-ready” jokes from Republicans. According to an excerpt from the AP, the Mount Rushmore-like sculpture was created by VisitMyrtleBeach.com Saturday, Sept. 1, and took five artists three days to complete. WPDE elaborates, saying the Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce thought it would boost tourism to the city after the convention, hence the “Visit Myrtle Beach” and “Vote Myrtle Beach” slogans. This photo, via @DNC Myrtle Beach, juxtaposes "Invisible Obama" from Clint Eastwood's speech with "Sand Obama. " Recent updates, however, indicate the monument was simply relocated. Related: » Thank you Elizabeth Warren (for possibly costing Obama the election) Posted by William A. Jacobson Thursday, July 19, 2012 at 1:52pm Obama has stepped in it big time, and we have Elizabeth Warren to thank.
Obama gave voice to his political creed in the form of parroting Warren’s famous rant about factory owners: Here’s Obama’s rendition (and a Romney response): Let’s cut to the very quotable few seconds which should and likely will be on every television in every swing state a thousand times between now and the election: This collectivist view of our economic system is alien to the vast majority of Americans. The anti-success dog will not hunt outside of Massachusetts (and maybe not even there) and a few other states. And now Elizabeth Warren’s collectivist dog is Obama’s dog.
Warren is backing up Obama on the theme: Warren said during a campaign stop in Dorchester yesterday, “I think the basic notion is right. Obama has hitched his wagon to an alien ideology touted by a tainted candidate who might be too liberal even for Massachusetts. It is a game changer. Latest Propaganda from Team Obama. The Obama propaganda team has stooped to a new level … and that’s saying something. The issue is over Obama’s comments about building a business.
You’ve heard me railing for the entire week now about his comments last Friday in Roanoke, "If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. " That’s not my paraphrasing, those words are straight from the SCOAMF’s mouth. So in a speech following Obummer’s asinine comment, Mitt Romney gets up to the podium, quotes Obama directly, and then begins his own retort (which was not nearly as brilliant as mine, by the way).
Then the Obama administration takes Mitt Romney’s response to Obama and makes an ad out of it. You can watch the ad if you click here. The Obama propaganda ad claims that Mitt Romney is “launching a false attack” on Dear Ruler. Now … let’s play a little attention to the “roads and bridges” part of Obama’s quote. And that, by God, settles it. Democratic National Convention Bans Children from Convention Floor. It’s a recurring gag that Presidents have to do a lot of kissing babies. If so, President Obama must be really sick of that particular ritual. Why? Because the Democratic National Convention has just banned children from the convention floor — including breastfeeding babies — unless those children have convention credentials. Which, needless to say, is relatively unlikely. It is not clear what motivated this particular policy.
“Women are the key to a Democratic victory, and sometimes, children are the key to women,” Steinem said in a statement. The National Organization for Women has also lept on the bandwagon, slamming the DNC’s no-child-policy as sexist because it amounts to an “insurmountable barrier for mothers.” Naturally enough, the convention’s spokespeople have denied that anything untoward is taking place. Certainly, more than a few feminists can be expected to object to this line of defense. (H/T: David Madiera Show)
MSNBC’s Touré: Romney Engaging In The ‘Niggerization’ Of Obama. On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s The Cycle the group discussed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney‘s assertion that President Obama should “take [his] campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.” Co-host Touré saw what he believes to be explicit racial connotations beneath what Romney was saying, calling it the “niggerization” of the campaign. “That really bothered me,” he said. “You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ‘otherization,’ he’s not like us.”
“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ‘niggerization,’” Touré said to the apparent shock of his co-panelists. Naturally this led to a battle between Touré and conservative co-host S.E. “Do you see how dishonest that is?” - RELATED: Biden’s Staff Tried To Influence Reporting On His Virginia Trip, According To Report “Absolutely,” he replied. Ayn Rand Wouldn’t Approve of Paul Ryan. EARLY in his Congressional career, Paul D. Ryan, the Wisconsin representative and presumptive Republican vice-presidential nominee, would give out copies of Ayn Rand’s book “Atlas Shrugged” as Christmas presents. He described the novelist of heroic capitalism as “the reason I got into public service.”
But what would Rand think of Mr. Ryan? While Rand, an atheist, did enjoy a good Christmas celebration for its cheerful commercialism, she would have scoffed at the idea of public service. And though Mr. Mr. Rand’s atheism and social libertarianism have long placed her in an uneasy position in the pantheon of conservative heroes, but she has proved irresistible to those who came of age in the baby boom and after. Mr. Rand’s anti-government argument rested on another binary opposition, between “producers” who create wealth and “moochers” who feed off them. Yet when his embrace of Rand drew fire from Catholic leaders, Mr. Mr. Mr. Years before Roe v. Mr. White House says Obama will stick with Biden as running mate - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill | TheHill.com.
President Obama has no intention of getting rid of Vice President Biden as his running mate, the White House said Thursday. Republicans are being “ridiculous” and are trying to “distract attention” with their focus on Vice President Biden and his controversial comments earlier this week, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
“They know that what they're saying about this is ridiculous," Carney said at a briefing with reporters, adding that it's an “obvious” attempt to take attention away from policy issues. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign lashed out at Biden and President Obama this week after the vice president in an address in Virginia said the Republican’s approach to the financial industry would “put y’all back in chains.” Biden made the remarks in front of a racially mixed audience. Obama’s campaign has repeatedly said Biden was simply talking about financial regulation. “The vice president was talking about Wall Street reform,” Carney said Thursday.
Sen. MSNBC Contributor Jonathan Alter Says Mitt Romney Repeal of Obamacare Equals Death. Following the lead of the controversial SuperPAC ad that essentially accused Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of playing a role in a women’s death from cancer, Bloomberg View columnist Jonathan Alter appeared on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” on Thursday night and warned that the consequences of a Romney presidency are “death.”
“Remember, the House of Representatives has repealed Obamacare 31 times. If Mitt Romney is elected president, they will repeal it and he will sign that repeal on the first day of his presidency, in the first week of his presidency, as he has pledged,” Alter said. He explained that he wants the media to stop focusing on Romney’s tax returns and start focusing on what the dire implications of repealing President Obama’s sweeping health care law: Death for thousands of people. “Instead, what the press should be focused on is what are the consequences of repeal of Obamacare. He went on to say that he is not exaggerating or being dramatic at all.
