“Ask your kids tonight at dinner. ‘What gives you the right?’ Challenge them. Get in their face.” That was the parenting advice from the Conservative icon Glenn Beck, as he sat perched high on his Republican made pedestal . “Push them,” Beck yelled into the mike, starring at the camera obviously pissed off at something. “Because if you don’t do it now,” Beck continued, “it’s going to be much worse when they’re pushed, and they’re shoved, and they’re shot. Push them!”
There is a wide array of Republicans Cenk could have choose from, but the video below he details the in your face hypocrisy of governors Chris Christie (NJ), Rick Perry (TX), Jan Brewer (AZ) and Rick Scott(FL). Four Republican governors who claim Obamacare is the worst thing for this country, then went along and implement Obamacare in their states.
President Obama used this weeks weekly address to discuss his recent meetings with Republicans at the White House. The President urged Congress to pass a budget, and allow Americans to get back to work.
Over the past few days, I’ve met with Republicans and Democrats from both houses of Congress in an effort to reopen your government and remove the dangers of default from our economy.
It’s a positive development that House Republicans have agreed on the need to avoid the economic consequences of not meeting our country’s commitments. Because once the debt ceiling is raised, and the shutdown is over, there’s a lot we can accomplish together.
We’ve created seven and a half million new jobs in the past three and a half years. Now let’s create more. We’ve cut our deficits in half over the past four years. Now let’s do it in a smarter, balanced way that lets us afford to invest in the things we need to grow.
The truth is, there’s a lot we can agree on. But one thing we have to agree on is that there is no good reason anyone should keep suffering through this shutdown. I met with some really innovative small business owners on Friday who’ve already lost contracts, lost customers, and put hiring on hold – because the pain of this Republican shutdown has trickled down to their bottom lines. It’s hurting the very citizens that our government exists to serve. That’s why a growing number of reasonable Republicans say it should end now.
In the middle of yesterday’s Press Conference, the si-called White House correspondent for Fox News couldn’t show the necessary respect to his fellow members of the press or president Obama’s Press Secretary.
Why is he even allowed in the room anyway. Is Fox News a news outlet?
The Republican Party has been badly damaged in the ongoing government shutdown and debt limit standoff, with a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finding that a majority of Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown, and with the party’s popularity declining to its lowest level.
By a 22-point margin (53 percent to 31 percent), the public blames the Republican Party more for the shutdown than President Barack Obama – a wider margin of blame for the GOP than the party received during the poll during the last shutdown in 1995-96.
Just 24 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion about the GOP, and only 21 percent have a favorable view of the Tea Party, which are both at all-time lows in the history of poll.
And one year until next fall’s midterm elections, American voters prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress to a Republican-controlled one by eight percentage points (47 percent to 39 percent), up from the Democrats’ three-point advantage last month (46 percent to 43 percent).
America, we have a problem. And I am not talking about the usual problems, like the fact that Republicans are trying to take away your health care, take away your social security, take away your jobs and as soon as they have made your life as miserable as possible, they give you machine guns and send you on your merry way.
No America, these are just small insignificant problems. According to Joe the Plumber and his website however, our major problem is the President of the United States, who happens to be a Democrat… and who hapoens to be black!
Joe the Plumber. You remember him right? He is the same one who skyrocketed to Republican fame back in the 2008 election when he was seen on video asking then candidate Obama a question about his tax policy. Mr. Obama answered, then included this phrase in his answer, “when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
This statement was obviously taken out of context, but Joe was seen as a Republican hero for it. According to the Republicans, Joe got the President to admit his secret wish for “wealth redistribution and socialism.”
Joe the Republican hero plumber, also ran loosing campaign for the House of Representatives.
And now, Joe is back and he is armed with a website. And in one of the articles on Joe’s website the author details his reason for a white Republican in the White House.
That article, written by Kevin Jackson, challenges you to admit that you just miss the good old days when your President’s face was as white as snow. Now–you might start feeling like a little bit of a racist after coming to terms with your desire to have a white man leading your country, but don’t worry: the article was written by a black guy, allowing you to use it to justify your bigotry!
Isn’t this exciting?
Jackson, the monumental idiot, feels that:
election of a recognized black president was not supposed to change anything. In fact, it was supposed to (1) ease any perceived racial tensions, and (2) allow the government to focus on legislating without race. So America would be more free than ever to discuss the issues.
Not the case. And that is why having a white Republican president is best for the country.
So because Obama didn’t magically wipe out all racism, and North Carolina still exists, we need a white Republican in charge?
What in the hell are you smoking, Jackson?
The nutjob continues to prattle on about how blacks have never been called racist for being critical of a white President, accuses Democratic Presidents of racism (of course), and–the coup d’état, claims Ronald Reagan “ushered in a veritable Renaissance for blacks,” citing an article written by Michael Reagan, son of Ronnie…who certainly would never misrepresent his father’s legacy!
Joe, of course, uses the fact that a black man wrote an article that happens to, in a twisted way, justify his bigoted and horrible world views, to claim that it’s not just right to want a white Republican man in office–it’s the American way!
Well, Joe and his ilk’s sick version of America anyway

CBS South Dakota has more on the past of the alleged attacker Joseph Patterson.
“Court documents reveal the 27 year old has been arrested multiple times on various charges. He was arrested in 2004 for violating a protection order, but that was later dropped by the prosecutor. A 2012 arrest for aggravated assault was also dismissed by a prosecutor. Patterson has served time in jail for Eluding officers in 2010. He was also sentenced to five days in jail after pleading guilty to simple assault last year.”
