To all those who claimed there was hate-filled rage on the Republican right.
Evidently the extreme liberals don't take a back seat.

Here's Bobby- An Acorn of Sorts
To say that Senator Robert Casey has had a bad couple of says may be an understatement. A couple of amateur journalists accomplish what the Yellow Stream Media(forget drive-by, Rush already trademarked that name) refused to do after the last election. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, was accused of voter fraud during the most recent national election. There were repeated reports of criminal investigations against the organization.
If you go to BigGovernment.com you can watch the videos that expose the truth about the corruption within the organization. ACORN not only had its pants pulled down in public but I'm not sure whether they were wearing any underwear. Prostitutes are used to being naked and, it seems, ACORN representatives facilitate that behavior. Locations in Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York, and San Bernadino, CA. were targets of the novice investigators. In each case similar unacceptable, no unbelievable, advice was given to the fuax "professionals."
Evidently Senator Casey doesn't get out much. On Friday the Census Bureau severed ties with ACORN after allegations surfaced when the videos were launched nationwide.
Census Bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner said officials in the bureau, which is part of the Department of Commerce, had been concerned with news reports about ACORN for awhile and “had been monitoring them.”
Buckner said recent videotapes posted on BigGovernment.com and broadcast on Fox News -- showing a young man and young woman pretending to be a pimp and prostitute, declaring themselves such and apparently able to secure the help of ACORN employees in Washington D.C. , and Baltimore, in obtaining housing – was “the tipping point.”
On Monday the Senate voted 83-7 to deny funds to ACORN but Bob Casey was one of the seven who wanted ACORN to continue receiving our hard earned money so they could continue to support tax evasion.
Today the White House calls ACORN employees' behavior unacceptable. But you gotta love Robert Gibbs. He should be DJ Spinmeister.
Gibbs said the Census Bureau decided that ACORN could not assist the group in meeting "the bureau's goal of achieving a fair and accurate count in 2010" and that some other agencies are evaluating their relationship with the group. "We constantly evaluate to ensure that any grantee is living up to what has to happen in order to fulfill that grant application."
He pointed out that "previous administrations" had awarded grants to ACORN either through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Uhh..Gibbs...the Administration can't spend what the Congress and Senate did not fund and authorize with legislation. Even you don't get paid without legislative action. Speaking of past adminstrations authorizing watch the following video where Casey is proud of the funding he provided to ACORN and LA RAZA. I did a fact check and Bob Casey is not George Bush although Gibbs hanging participle almost worked.
For those of you that may not know La Raza is a great supporter of illegal immigration regardless of their claims to the contrary.
My other observation- Obama gets called out by Illinois Congressman Luis Guiterrez (D)for barring undocumented immigrants from purchase healthcare coverage in the government exchange. Senator Jay Rockefller(D) bails on Senator Baucus's(D) proposal for healthcare. Senator Robert Casey (D) votes for continued funding of ACORN while the Whitehouse blasts ACORN. Are the D's in disarray less than 10 months into this presidency or is it me?
Back to Bobby. Here's is the keynote speaker for the 2007 ACORN national convention held in Columbus, Ohio .

Robert Gibbs and Jon Stewart Have It Wrong Again
This piece is a little off the political tract but not so much. By now some of you have heard about the thrashing Jon Stewart gave to Jim Cramer, well a pseudo thrashing as you about to see. The liberal media had a hay day with this piece. Even Robert Gibbs, the President's Press Secretary couldn't wait to chime in with his usual childish assessment of a media type.
Over at AOL News the headline read Robert Gibbs Relished Jon Stewart's Awesome Jim Cramer Takedown
On March 4th Cramer gave Gibbs a push back over his statements before the Jon Stewart show.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on Tuesday pushed back against Cramer’s comments that President Obama has caused “the greatest wealth destruction I have seen by a president.”
“I’m not sure what he’s pointing to, to make some of the statements,” Gibbs told reporters, adding that Mad Money is geared toward a small audience while Obama has to help the entire country.
Cramer in response pointed to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500, Nasdaq and the Russell Index, all of which are down huge since Inauguration Day. And the only small thing about the MadMo audience, he said, is its 401(k)s, pension plans and annuities after the damage Obama’s proposed spending plans have caused the markets.
The stock market right now is a better barometer of Americans’ wealth than the president and his press secretary seem to realize, Cramer said. And while Obama said he’s focused on Main Street rather than Wall Street, he needs to realize the two are merging. Everday people today have a tremendous amount of exposure to stocks and the declining markets.
Richard Cohen of the Washington Post wrote a great Op-Ed piece about the sensationalism of Stewart's piece that was really lacking any substance behind his attack.
What Jon Stewart needs is Jon Stewart. He could use a droll comedian to temper his ferocity and correct him when he's wrong, as he was about the financial media, particularly CNBC and its excitable analyst Jim Cramer. They didn't cover up the story of financial shenanigans. They didn't even know it existed.
The jist of his opinion relies on the facts that all of the chairmen of the financial giants held onto their stock during the tremendous fall in prices. If they didn't know what was happening on the inside how could Cramer know being on the outside. You can read the rest of his piece to understand how wrong Jon Stewart and Robert Gibbs were on this particular issue.
Robert Gibbs is going to learn in short order that his constant engagement of specific media people will not earn him points in the long run. I will be surprised if he lasts a year in the job.
One blogger over at AOL wrote: I don't like Jim Cramer, but he's right here. The people who are getting helped by Team Obama right now are folks who bought houses they couldn't afford. A home, like a stock portfolio, is an asset. People who bought their assets with cash in the stock market have no share of bailout loot while people who bought their assets with debt are being showered with help. Gibbs should be worried that ordinary people see right through this administration.
