How the Left Destroys someone...

A blog known as allnews posted the following on 7/3.

Sarah Palin Embezzlement Scandal - Alaska Governor Sarah Palin resigned because of an embezzlement scandal involving her actions as Mayor of Wasilla and receiving huge financial favors from Spenard Building Supplies.

The Sarah Palin embezzlement scandal now has Federal indictments being issued this month that would have crippled Palin’s ability to govern effectively.


Note that there is no qualifier. No "rumor has it" or "informed sources." Just a flat claim that federal indictments will be issued.

Now if you go to the website, the date shown is still 7/3, but it now says.

Again, no qualifier. And the two entries though identical in point, they are obviously different, although you can't tell it from the website.

I found no entry of any kind after 7/3.

Of course Palin's lawyer threatened to sue another blogger. Maybe this one caught a clue with that and when the FBI said on 7/5/09.

"There is absolutely no truth to those rumors that we're investigating her or getting ready to indict her," Special Agent Eric Gonzalez said in a phone interview Saturday. "It's just not true." He added that there was "no wiggle room" in his comments for any kind of inquiry.

Now, if you Google a11news you will go to Which is a site that is selling domain names. It also notes:

US news blog wiht some entertainment news


I see that their typing skills are about on par with mine. But I digress.

Now, if you Google a11news Palin you you pick up 1260 hits.

So okay. a11news zaps out some trash and so do others. Then the FBI takes the most unusual step of stepping in and saying it isn't true. So you think that would be that. Nope... Nine days later on the Pluckforum for the Tennessean, what do we have?

The Sarah Palin embezzlement scandal now has Federal indictments being issued this month that would have crippled Palin’s ability to govern effectively." That would explain suddenly stepping down.

This posted by a person who calls themselves TheTrueVoM. He also thoughtfully provides a link to the a11news posting. (In previous lives he was True Voice of Moderation.)

Now the Tennessean has pulled his original post, but he has re posted it and it remains up, along with some nasties about Palin.

Now someone will pick up the new posting, seven days after the FBI said it was wrong and run with it again.

etc., etc., etc.

And the political process is destroyed. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Olberman leaves out an important line in Alito's statement

The Left has complained that the now famous quote of Judge Sotomayor was taken out of context. Let's look at the quote in total.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn‘t lived that life. Each day on the bench, I learn something new about the judicial process and about being a professional Latina woman in a world that sometimes looks at me with suspicion.

I am reminded each day that I render decisions that affect people concretely and that I owe them constant and complete vigilance in checking my assumptions, presumptions and perspectives and ensuring that to the extend that my limited abilities and capabilities permit me, that I reevaluate them and change as circumstances and cases before me requires. I can and do aspire to be greater than the sum total of my experiences.”


Okay. That's what she said. Note that nothing after the now famous first sentence changes it. She has said that a wise Latina woman with her background would do a better job than whitey. She then expands it, but she doesn't change it.

No place does she say, I am who I am but my job is to understand that and rule based on the law. In fact, she enforces her statement at the close when she writes...."that I reevaluate them and change as circumstances and cases before me requires."

Now the Right has taken her words and used them. The Left has countered that they were taken out of context. I have given you the complete quote and my view on it.

The Left has made other excuses. Among them is that what she said is really no different from what Judge Alito said.

“When a case comes before me involving, let‘s say, someone who is an immigrant,” said the nominee for the Supreme Court, “I can‘t help but think of my own ancestors because it wasn‘t that long ago when they were in that position. I have to say to myself and I do say to myself, you know, this could be your grandfather. This could be your grandmother.”

“When I get a case about discrimination,” the nominee continued, “I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender and I do take that into account.”


The problem is that the quote is incomplete, which is a far different cry that being out of context.

Both Sotomayor's and Alito's quote came from Keith Olberman's show on May 27.

Why am I not surprised?

But what, you may ask, is incomplete? What was left out? Well, sometimes answers come in strange places. Here is a video clip from KOS. Listen carefully starting at around the 1:35 mark..........

When a case comes before me involving, let‘s say, someone who is an immigrant,” said the nominee for the Supreme Court, “I can‘t help but think of my own ancestors because it wasn‘t that long ago when they were in that position and here is what was left out....."It's my job to apply the law...it's not my job to change or bend the law to achieve a result..." I have to say to myself and I do say to myself, you know, this could be your grandfather. This could be your grandmother.”


Now I am not an expert transcriber, so I may not have the words left out on Olbermann's show exact. But they are very, very close.

Now, why would someone leave out those words?? Simple. Because they change the meaning of what Alito said from him agreeing with the thrust of Sotomayor's comment to totally rejecting her comment.

Hat tip to The Dark Avenger who, over at TalkLeft, used the quote and got my bull shit detector fully engaged.

Thanks DA. That Secretary position is still open if you pick up cleaning and make coffee.

The seeds of 1947


I got this from Jimmy M. It explains many things.

Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 plus years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep?

I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

Now You Know......... the rest of the story

Obama's soulmate spells it out,


Minister Eduardo Samán laid the groundwork for a Marxist model at a business forum

Trade Minister Eduardo Samán unveiled at a business forum President Hugo Chavez's Economic and Social Development Plan, which will change the guidelines related to domestic and foreign trade. There are five principal elements: development of trade production; social control of the means of distribution; state price regulation and the replacement of consumerism with satisfying essential necessities. The chavista government will only approve foreign investment which ensures the transfer of technology to industry. "Not all are beneficial and bring progress to society's well being", Samán said, who added: "Don't be afraid when I speak of Marxism. It is the only system which does not exclude". Some who attended the forum expressed their concerns to the press saying that, as it is planned, the Venezuelan bill eliminates free trade.


Now we know why Obamaie loves Chavez.

These people are telling us just like Hitler did but I'll bet money the above doesn't show up in any major media in the US.

Cybder attacks from North Korea


SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - South Korea has obtained intelligence that North Korea last month ordered a military institute of computer hackers - known as Lab 110 - to "destroy" South Korean communications networks, news reports said Saturday.

The National Intelligence Service informed lawmakers of its finding on Friday, pointing to it as evidence the North was behind massive cyberattacks that paralyzed major South Korean and U.S. Web sites in recent days, the mass-circulation JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported.


They keep this up and we'll pass the word that they are supporters of Palin....
