In our efforts to be fair and balanced, (well if Fox News could say it, why can’t we?) we bring you this ad by Republican candidate, Jon Huntsman. The fact that the ad criticizes Mitt Romney’s flip-flopping abilities, something we’ve tried to point out in previous blogs, is purely coincidental.
The ad.
Pay close attention to the clips of police brutality being displayed against American citizens demonstrating their 1st amendment constitutional right to protest!
In his effort to sell his book, Herman Cain did little campaigning in the third quarter of the year. But that little bit of campaigning was all his Republican Teaparty base needed. They dug into their pockets and sent their hard-earned cash to support Donald Trump Part 2. Cain is laughing all the way to the bank.
Suckers!
Cain, the brash former businessman whose candidacy was long considered a lark, had caught fire in recent weeks and has even opened a lead on GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney in some polls.
That buzz – and Cain’s much-hyped 9-9-9 tax plan – has spurred donors to open their wallets.
Cain says his campaign raised more than $3 million so far in October, topping the $2.8 million he totaled during the third fundraising quarter.
Following orders from New York Mayor Bloomberg, the New York Fire Department swept through Zoccotti park today, and confiscated generators and other necessary equipmemnt, needed to provide heating, lighting and ability to cook for the protesters.
The agency said it’s looking for any unauthorized use that falls outside the guidelines of the city’s fire codes.
Firefighters took generators from the medical tent and press information area, among other areas.
“We did send 30 or 40 firefighters through the park,” Mayor Bloomberg said this morning on his WOR-AM. “It happened the way you would expect.”
The mayor said the goal was “just to make sure everybody’s safe.”
The protesters seemed unworried about the loss of the generators.
“I lived in Alaska and worked on a fishing boat — this is nothing,” said Robert Marshall, 31. “We’re survivors.”
On a weekend when a winter storm advisory has been issued, this could mark the breaking point for the movement. Seems the billionaire Bloomberg and his banker buddies are winning the fight for Zuccotti park… by any low-down-dirty means necessary!
One thing we know from his teachings is that Jesus identified with the poor, the hungry, the sick and the meek. Throughout the Bible, Jesus catered to the poor, fed the hungry, healed the sick and He had a special words for the meek, in that “they shall inherit the earth.”
But don’t tell this to Bryan Fischer. The leader of the American Family Association – a right winged “Christian” conservative group – said the people protesting against a rigged system designed to take from the poor and give to the rich, will be whipped by Jesus. Fischer wrote, “Jesus took a whip to the thieves and the covetous in his day. If he were to come back and do the same thing today, he just might start in Zuccotti Park.”
Here’s his full statement;
A CNN anchor asked earlier this week whether or not Jesus would occupy Wall Street.
That question can be answered with a categorical “No.”
First, Jesus has no truck with rank, blatant hypocrites. The OWS crowd has now fallen to squabbling over who gets a slice of the $500,000 which has been donated to them, and which, by the way, they put in one of the evil, greedy banks they are out to destroy.
…
Secondly, Jesus has no truck with those whose entire agenda is to flagrantly disobey two of the Ten Commandments of God.
God said, “Thou shalt not steal,” a commandment Jesus affirmed on numerous occasions. Stealing is wrong, and it doesn’t make it right when government does it under color of law.
…
And the OWS crowd is animated by a thoroughly ugly disregard for the 10th Commandment as well. God says, “Thou shalt not covet…any thing that is thy neighbor’s.” And yet the Occupiers are driven by a dark, bitter, resentful, angry and acquisitive greed for stuff that belongs to other people.
I submit that no political program that is predicated on a violation of twenty percent of God’s moral law can possibly be right, can possibly work, or can possibly be good for America.
Jesus took a whip to the thieves and the covetous in his day. If he were to come back and do the same thing today, he just might start in Zuccotti Park.
In other words, he might occupy Wall Street after all.
Interesting take on things Bryan. But your views don’t match what’s presented in the Bible. According to Luke Chapter 6 verse 20 to 26, Jesus spoke to his disciples and said;
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.23 “Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
24 “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26 Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Keep on Occupiers. Your deeds are for the poor. Exactly what Jesus would have done.
Looking for your daily dose of entertainment? Well, look no further – those Little Republican Rascals are back and they’re zanier than ever!
Tune in, you’ll get all the laughs you’ll need!
In what is sure to be the first of many, the general assembly for Occupy Oakland just approved a general strike for next Wednesday, November 2nd. The move is in retaliation of the recent episode of police hostility there, where a United States Veteran, after returning home from multiple tours in Iraq, was seriously injured by Oakland police and is presently hospitalized.
PROPOSAL:
We as fellow occupiers of Oscar Grant Plaza propose that on Wednesday November 2, 2011, we liberate Oakland and shut down the 1%.
We propose a city wide general strike and we propose to invite all students to walk out of school. Instead of workers going to work and students going to school, the people will converge on downtown Oakland to shut down the city.
All banks and corporations should close down for the day or we will march on them.
While we are calling for a general strike, we are also calling for much more. People who organize out of their neighborhoods, schools, community organizations, affinity groups, workplaces and families are encouraged to self organize in a way that allows them to participate in shutting down the city in whatever manner they are comfortable with and capable of.
The whole world is watching Oakland. Let’s show them what is possible.
ABC News Reporting;
Pastor Terry Jones, the man who infamously burned a copy of the Quran in commemoration of 9/11, is throwing his hat into ring for the 2012 presidential race.
The pastor announced his presidential bid Wednesday morning.
His campaign, Stand Up America Now, released a statement that features a seven point platform, including deporting all “illegals” , bringing all military back on American soil until America’s finances are in order and reducing corporate taxes.
But of course! He’s a Republican and he fits right in with all the other GOP morons running, trying to ruin the greatest nation on earth!!!
The protesters at Occupy Wall Street get their First Amendment rights violated on a regular basis. They’re rounded-up, thrown to the ground, punched and pepper sprayed like animals by the police. Yet today, the New York Police Department is planning to sue any protester who “causes injury” to a police officer.
Reporting from the New York Post today quoted the president of NYPD’s Sergeant’s Benevolent Association as saying;
“In light of the growing violence attendant to the ‘Occupy’ movements across the country, particularly as evidenced by the recent events in Oakland, I am compelled to place these so-called ‘occupiers’ on notice that physical assaults on police officers will not be tolerated.”
Of course no one is advocating violence at any of the Occupy movement protests, and all the police departments across the country know this. Of all the thousands of protesters nationwide, it is almost impossible to find Occupiers demonstrating violence against the police. There may be a handful of incidents, but in the grand scheme of things, given the many thousands of protesters on the streets, two or three incidents nationwide is nothing to sue over.
So is this a plausible argument by the New York Sergeant Benevolent Association? Of course not.
The unnecessary amount of arrests police departments nationwide have taken part in, have nothing to do with unruly protesters, but everything to do with police trying to suppress the people’s rights to protest. If the police will just do their jobs, instead of intentionally perpetrating violence against peaceful protesters, then for the most part, calmness will prevail.
Maybe the New York Sergeant Benevolent Association should look at the instigators instead, and realize that the violence begins, for the most part, inside their own ranks.
Think again!
I’m really beginning to understand the Republican’s game plan, and a fantastic one it is. Their plan is to get Mitt Romney to the nomination, and the only way they think that could be achieved, would be to bombard the media with nonsense. Herman Cain, and his entire so-called candidacy is the guinea pig. Get the media to focus all their attention on the joke that is Herman Cain, and let Mitt Romney skate untouched to the Republican nomination convention.
How else would you explain these foolish ads from the Cain campaign. Yesterday, we showed you an ad that is now viral, as the world laughs at the spectacle of what is now the American political system. In the ad, Herman Cain’s chief of staff Mark Block literally and figuratively blows smoke in our face. We can only wonder if Marlboro paid for the spot.
And now this. Another ad by the so-called Cain campaign called, “He Carried Yellow Flowers,” a western style commercial featuring movie star Nick Searcy. The ad starts out showing a man riding a horse, with the following words being displayed on the screen;
There was a time in America when a man was a man. And a horse was just a horse … And a man on a horse was just a man on a horse … unless he carried yellow flowers.”
After smacking a black man identified as a liberal in the face, the flower carrying Nick Searcy steps out of character – or steps into character, take your pick – to advise all of us, why we should vote for Herman Cain.
We see you Romney, keep skating…
We’re pretty sure no one missed President Obama’s appearance on Jay Leno, but just in case you were involved in, let’s an Occupy movement somewhere, here’s the video.
The President spoke about the death of Gaddafi and Bin Laden, he spoke about the conflict in Libya and the fact that America actually led from the front, instead of “leading from the back” as Republicans and media keep trumpeting, and the President also spoke about the Republicans and their so-called Presidential candidates, among other things.
Watch the videos below.

Part 2
Part 3
As if the Republicans couldn’t stoop any lower, we introduce you to those in Lansing Michigan. These Republicans want to cut $1 billion from local schools to pay for a $1.8 billion tax break for rich CEOs and corporate special interests.
Although this is as disgraceful as one could imagine, this action by these Republicans is not surprising. Cutting back on educating the youth of tomorrow is a sure way to win the race to the bottom, a race these Republicans are determined to win… for America! An uneducated and uninformed electorate can be easily led, and this is what today’s Republicans are banking on.
So onward with cutting education funding. Today’s uninformed will be tomorrow’s Republican voter.
