    Have you heard about the Glenn Beck drinking game?

    Drink a shot or a swig of beer everytime Glenn Beck metiones George
    Soros.

    Today you would have been shitfaced in 5 minutes.

    Oh and BTW, Soros is an American citizen.

    Unfortunately we didn't have a choice in this matter. I am surprised
    you didn't comment on the following:

    http://tinyurl.com/2wjbmmd

    Which is correct.

    Soros is regularly smeared at Faux 'news" as some sort of Boogeyman
    under Beck's bed.

    So he finally got fed up and gave a million to Media Matters.

    Notice this was all done above-board, not hidden.

    Finally above board. Before he had to launder it through the ironically named (Open Society Institute, Moveon.org or Center for American Progress) organizations he funds.

    No big "conspiracy" like Beck who's-off-his-medications alleges, always without any evidence to back it up except his doodles on a chalkboard.

    Uh... Beck uses your gurus' own words against them.

    Rupert Murdoch, who still has Australian citizenship is funneling over a million dollars directly into the GOP.
    The US GOP.

    No, News Corp gave that money and it was all above board.

    Now that's in addition to the BILLIONS that goes into Murdoch's TV and newspaper empire, including Faux "news," and the Wall Street Urninal.

    Huh? So you've bought into the idiot left meme that WSJ, FNN, etc are part of the GOP?

    And don't forget the Koch brothers.

    What have they done that is illegal?

    And Richard Mellon Scaife.

    And?

    We've claimed Soros funds Media Matters. I expect a wild-eyed retort.

    You mean like, "Bullshit."
    Which is the usual retort when someone spouts bullshit.
    And that's all you and your gurus and cronies spout. Bullshit.

    All you on the idiot left have is vile accusations and name-calling.

    Whatever you want to believe. He's been pumping money into that
    leftwing hack organization from the beginning.

    "Leftwing hack?"
    Well, I guess any organization that exposes facts as opposed to
    right-wing RS> lies and spin would be considered "eeee-vil" to you.

    MMFA was started with Hillary Clinton's help to put the left-wing
    "progressive" spin on everything. They spin the "facts" by
    manipulating the information and taking out of context audio and video
    clips to back their spin.

    Show me.
    You have an accusation, back it up.

    Hillary readily admitted her involvement in starting Media Matters. Their aim has always been to give a left-wing spin and to disparage anyone who dares to disagree with the progressive movement.

    You have been easily duped into thinking what they present is gospel, but to an
    objective eye, it is nothing more than left-wing propaganda.

    If you will notice, most of their sources are other like minded organizations.

    And Soros has been pumping money into Media Matters?

    Yes.

    How do you know this?

    Media Matter is a 501(c)3 and isn't required to list their donors.
    But... Soros has repeatedly funded MMFA through his other
    organizations such as the comically named Open Society Institute.

    Beck told you this, right?

    Oh that's right, Glenn Beck told you.

    Nope, it is easily investigated with a little research.

    I've seen your "research."
    It's laughable.

    Only because you are a gullible dupe to the self-anointed intellectual elites.

    Make sure you get in on the ground floor, Jeff, buying that
    overpriced RS> freeze-dried food Beck has just started hawking.

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

    And the idiot parrots even more moonbatry.

    Beck is selling freeze-dried food now, that's very overpriced.

    How in the world would you know about the pricing of freeze-dried emergency food supplies?

    What is the going price and what price is his sponsor selling their's for?

    He is selling it the way he sells himself and gold.

    You are an utter idiot. He has sponsors just like any other broadcaster. If he didn't promote his sponsors, he'd soon lose them.

    Unreasoning, hysterical fear.

    Again, you parrot the idiots at Media Matters...

    After all, Jesus is coming soon and you need the gold and
    "survival food" RS> Glenn Beck is so willing to scare people into
    buying.

    You are an idiot...

    Beck scares his groupies into buying what he advertizes.

    Really? Where's your proof?

    Also just ignore Rupert Murdoch, the Koch brothers and Richard
    Mellon RS> Scaife, and all the right-wing propaganda they fund and
    churn out. RS> Oh that's different!

    Why is FNN the number one news source in the country?

    Not due to accuracy.

    Due to what, then?

    Sensationalism sells.

    Prove it.

    Digest


    Friday, October 22, 2010

    Why are Democrats on the ropes this fall? It might have something to do with the fact that the 111th Congress was, according to the Associated Press, "the most productive in nearly half a century." Let's face it, voters elected Democrats in 2006 and 2008 because Republicans had become corrupt spendthrifts who had lost touch with the electorate. So what did Democrats do? Double, triple and quadruple these problems.


    Don't worry, though, they promise to fix it. Really.


    Williams Isn't to Blame


    By Linda Chavez ┬╖ Friday, October 22, 2010


    National Public Radio fired its longtime news analyst Juan Williams this week for saying something that many Americans feel. Williams, who also works as a Fox News Channel contributor (as I do), told FNC host Bill O'Reilly that when he gets on an airplane and sees someone in Muslim garb, he gets "nervous."

    Third Party Conservatives: Fixers or Spoilers?


    Thursday, October 21, 2010


    Many Patriot readers have asked: "How should one vote when a third-party candidate is more conservative than the Republican offering? Should one vote for the lesser of two evils on the major party tickets? Is a vote for a third -party conservative a wasted vote or, worse, one that takes votes from a moderate on the ticket, and seats a Leftist?"


    The answers, of course, depend on one's affinity for purism versus pragmatism, and the particular circumstances and consequences of each political contest.


    Is Barney Frank?


    By Thomas Sowell ┬╖ Thursday, October 21, 2010


    You would be hard pressed to find a politician who is less frank than Congressman Barney Frank. Even in an occupation where truth and candor are often lacking, Congressman Frank is in a class by himself when it comes to rewriting history in creative ways. Moreover, he has a lot of history to rewrite in his re-election campaign this year.
    No one contributed more to the policies behind the housing boom and bust,
    which led to the economic disaster we are now in, than Congressman Barney Frank.

    The Washington Times: "Legal arguments for Obamacare's individual mandate fail the 'Alice in Wonderland' test and the duck test. In two court challenges to the law in the past 11 days and a court hearing today on a third, the Obama administration's legal position is fading faster than the Cheshire Cat."


    At Stake This Election

    This powerful ad, perhaps better than any other ad we've seen, reminds conservatives of what's at stake, and why we need to get out and vote.


    Conservatives' Top National Security Priorities

    By Ken Blackwell ┬╖ Wednesday, October 20, 2010


    Conservatives in Congress need to move quickly to staunch the flow of blood, literally, in our military. The Fort Hood shootings proved convincingly that political correctness is lethal. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey ran to the Sunday talk shows to say it would be a "tragedy" if our diversity were a casualty of this incident. No, General, it was your misguided approach to diversity that led scores of officers to look the other way as Nidal Hasan breathed mutiny and sedition daily; for years.

    About That 'Ditch'

    By Mona Charen ┬╖ Tuesday, October 19, 2010


    Here's a technique they don't teach in campaign school: Patronize the voters.


    President Obama, speaking at a fundraiser in Boston, said, "People out there are still hurting very badly, and they are still scared. And so part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now, and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time, is because we're hard-wired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country is scared, and they have good reason to be." He might as well have reminded his listeners that you can expect little else of people who "cling" to their
    Bibles and guns and hostility to those who are different.


    Why The Government Can't Do Everything

    By William Murchison ┬╖ Tuesday, October 19, 2010


    Last weekend, President Obama allowed that we voters are too scared right now to "think clearly," but let us gut up and try anyway, shall we? We really
    can't sort out too often the stakes in this election, including possibly the most important matter of all: whether the federal government can do anything
    it decides to. So first, for courage, a few slugs of Old Be Joyful; then we'll contemplate what goes on in the ObamaCare lawsuit that a federal judge in Florida said last week should proceed to trial, the perfervid arguments of the Justice Department notwithstanding.

    Columnist John Stossel: "The 2010 Index of Economic Freedom lowers the ranking of the United States to eighth out of 179 nations -- behind Canada! A year

    Half the data used in the index is from George W. Bush's final six months in office. This is a bipartisan problem."


    Dems Find Careers Threatened by Obamacare Votes

    By Michael Barone ┬╖ Monday, October 18, 2010


    Seven months ago, Speaker Nancy Pelosi spent a busy week rounding up votes to pass the Senate version of the Democrats' health care legislation.


    It wasn't easy. She had to get Democrats who had voted no in November to
    switch to yes in March. And she had to get Democrats who had refused to vote for the bill in November without an anti-abortion amendment to vote for a bill in March that lacked that language.
