GOP Congressmen Skinny Dip Overseas Causing A Sex Scandal!

Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor are walking from the White House. The Republican leaders are angry at members of the Republican caucus for a sex scandal overseas. They fear the media will cover this instead of the message of bringing stability to the economy.

This is going to be the buzz of the week. Just like the U.S. Secret Service, our members of the U.S. Congress are to handle themselves accordingly when overseas. The Republican Party once again has to defend its actions by its freshmen members of Congress.

The Politico released a bombshell. And this bombshell will have more ammunition for President Barack Obama to go after Congress for ineptness. The Republican controlled House of Representatives has passed legislation that could roll back the progress that the president sought. With a slim majority in the U.S. Senate, the Democrats can't achieve the 60 votes needed to block filibusters. The Republicans are hoping the mood of the economy will be their winning strategy.

The FBI probed a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee that involved drinking, numerous GOP freshmen lawmakers, top leadership staff – and one nude member of Congress, according to more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses.

During a fact-finding congressional trip to the Holy Land last summer, Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kansas) took off his clothes and jumped into the sea, joining a number of members, their families and GOP staff during a night out in Israel, the sources told POLITICO. Other participants, including the daughter of another congressman, swam fully clothed while some lawmakers partially disrobed. More than 20 people took part in the late-night dip in the sea, according to sources who took part in the trip.

The FBI looked into whether any inappropriate behavior occurred, but the interviews do not appear to have resulted in any formal allegations of wrongdoing.

But Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who was the senior most GOP lawmaker in Israel on the trip, was so upset about the antics that he rebuked the 30 lawmakers the morning after the Aug. 18. 2011, incident, saying they were distracting from the mission of the trip.

Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was also on the privately funded excursion, which means two of the three top Republicans were a part of this trip. Neither Cantor nor McCarthy went swimming that night, the sources said. Some of their staff did.

The account of that Aug. 2011 night in Israel was pieced together for the first time by POLITICO based on interviews with more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses, as well as public records of the trip.

A Cantor spokesman confirmed that the majority leader dressed down his Republican colleagues and that a staffer was later interviewed by FBI agents.

“Twelve months ago, [Cantor] dealt with this immediately and effectively to ensure such activities would not take place in the future,” said Doug Heye, Cantor’s deputy chief of staff.

Heye added: “Last year, a staffer was contacted by the Bureau [FBI], which had several questions, the staffer answered those questions and that appears to have been the end of it.”

The FBI’s questions focused on who went into the water that night, and whether there was any impropriety, according to multiple sources.

The American Israel Educational Foundation, a group related to AIPAC, the prominent pro-Israel advocacy group, sponsored the trip, which ran from Aug. 13 to Aug. 21, 2011. The trip cost AIEF upwards of $10,000 per person, according to records filed with the House Ethics Committee. More than 60 people took part in this AIEF trip.

These trips to the Holy Land are a rite of passage for members of Congress, as they visit the most sacred sites in the Jewish and Christian faiths – while their Israeli government hosts drive home the huge importance of U.S. support of Israel. That’s partially why, when the trip devolved into drinking and merrymaking, Cantor was livid.

In a Congress that has already sunk to new lows in public-opinion polls, and seen a bipartisan wave of scandals, this latest controversy could only further damage that image. Since the start of the 112th Congress, former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) resigned following the revelation that he was sending naked pictures of himself to women he met on the Internet. Former Rep. Christopher Lee (R-N.Y.) quickly left office after he was caught sending a topless photo of himself to an online acquaintance. Former Rep. Christopher Wu (D-Ore.) stepped down after an “unwanted” sexual encounter with the daughter of a long-time friend. 

Former Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) resigned after having an extramarital affair with the wife of an aide and then trying to cover it up.

On the Israel trip that included the late night swim, the group of lawmakers on Aug. 18 departed the posh David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem for Tiberias, a historic seaside town located on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. On the night in question, the GOP group checked into Scots Hotel, where rooms could run up to $1,000 each night. At 8:45 p.m., they headed to Decks, a popular restaurant located on the sea, according to an itinerary filed with the House Ethics Committee.

As dinner was winding down, Cantor and McCarthy left the restaurant, but the most of the other lawmakers and staff stayed behind, and the drinking continued, according to several sources who attended the dinner.

After what they describe as a “long, hot day,” more than 20 lawmakers and senior aides decided to jump into the sea, sources said. Some went in wearing all their clothes, although others partially undressed.

Yoder removed all his clothes, the only person to do so, according to multiple sources.

Senior aides also jumped into the Sea of Galilee. They include: Steve Stombres, Cantor’s chief of staff; Tim Berry, McCarthy’s chief of staff; Laena Fallon, Cantor’s former communications director and Emily Murray, McCarthy’s top health care aide. Kristi Way, a top Cantor staffer, was also on the trip.

Few offices responded to requests for on-the-record comment about the incident. However, numerous Republicans discussed what occurred on the condition of anonymity.

Some of those present took photographs of the group right after the late-night swim, sources said.

After the lawmakers and staff returned to the United States, FBI agents questioned congressional staff about the trip, specifically about what happened in Tiberias.

The FBI declined to comment on its probe, saying its standard policy was not to comment on such matters.

Hank Williams, Jr. Proves To The World He's A Dumbass!

Dumbass singer once again drags his ass into controversy again!

I am getting really annoyed with this beer guzzling buffoon. Once again, this jackass opens his mouth!

Besides the tobacco and Jack Daniels breath, you'll find the son of famed country singer Hank Williams acting like a complete asshole on television or radio. I'll bet you that Sean Hannity will get the first interview when he's pulled off another endorsement.

In 2011 on an appearance of Fox & Friends, Gretchen Carlson asked the singer how he feels about the political climate and then candidate Mitt Romney.

The redneck asshole didn't support him, then. He was upset over the fact that Mitt Romney's campaign was laying waste to former rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. But he saved the worst for President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Ohio Republican governor John Kasich. He made the reference to Adolf Hitler when describing the president and called Biden and Kasich, two of The Three Stooges.

That comment got him banned from ESPN as their opening act. A thing he's done for the past 20 years.

Now that's he's back on tour with his rebel rousing and the like, his big mouth is in trouble again.

Yes, friends, this jackass once again calls President Obama a "traitorous Muslim." The Iowa State Fair is the place where politicians reign in their support for the festivities and try to woo the swing voters in their direction. Barack Obama won the Democratic primary and carried the state in the 2008 U.S. Elections.

The president and vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan were at the Iowa State Fair earlier. Now that they've gone, here comes this jackass and his beer guzzling audience of right wing bigots.

The show was relatively free of politics until the end, when Hank Williams Jr. made the following claims:

"We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"

The comments were apparently met with applause and loud cheers.

Now that he's warming up to the Romney/Ryan Presidential ticket, The Rolling Stone interviewed the asshole and yet he turned up the heat on the Obama administration.

"We've got a President that does a call to the Koran or Mecca or whatever," he told the magazine. When asked if he believed Obama hated America, Hank Williams, Jr. responded, "I don't know about that but it's kind of obvious. I guess when you take a tour, a world tour, to apologize for America."

A number of entertainers have come out in support of Obama and/or against the Romney-Ryan ticket. The Silversun Pickups issued a strongly worded cease-and-desist letter to Romney when it was revealed that the campaign had played one of their songs. The campaign responded by saying it was within its legal rights in playing "Panic Switch" and added that the song was not among those usually played and would not be used again.

The Motor City Madman and Bo Cepheus together with a fan. Ted Nugent (right) had the U.S. Secret Service visit him this year for his comments about President Obama. Last year, Hank Williams, Jr. (left) was fired as spokesperson for ESPN's Monday Night Football after comparing the president to Hitler. These notorious singers support fans who have ties to right wing extremism.

Ted Nugent, Jon Voight, Victoria Jackson, Mary Tyler Moore, Jenna Jameson and Jon Lovitz have an opinion about the president. Fine. They support Mitt Romney for president. Cool. But there's a line that's been crossed when they say these things.

How could conservatives stand there and allow these entertainers attack the president?

I mean conservatives get so frustrated with Touré, Jay-Z, Bill Maher, Chris Rock, Anna Wintour, Sarah Jessica Parker because they've come out in favor of President Barack Obama. They've gotten mad at Kanye West, Eminem, Ludacris, Jay-Z, The Dixie Chicks, and Lil' Wayne for criticizing George W. Bush.

People like Brent Bozell were pleading to radio and television stations to have them pulled off the air.

Now should Media Matters for America, or activists like Van Jones demand some retribution for such disgusting anti-American things being spoken about President Barack Obama?

Here's the video of the asshole explained by me!

I Seriously Think Sean Hannity Will Help President Obama Win!

If President Barack Obama wins reelection, I can tell you who's responsible for his victory!

After five years of listening to the second most listened and watched conservative talker in the nation, I come to grips with the notion that he's secretly rooting for President Barack Obama to win reelection. Seriously!

If you watch or listen to a full episode of Hannity, you'll hear the conservative agitator name drop Barack Obama's name faster than the president dropping his pants and taking a dump.

Of course, the president is aware of his chief foe. President Barack Obama has mentioned Sean Hannity by name. To Sean Hannity, it's a badge of honor! Sean Hannity loves it when he gets under the president's skin.

I really think that all this anti-Obama nonsense has helped Sean Hannity really well. I mean look at his ratings of his show on Fox News. His average age 18-45 demographics are high according to TV by The Numbers from Zap2It.

The Hannity Show is a carnival of right wing agitation. You already know that Sean Hannity will say something totally negative about President Barack Obama. On his show, you'll have either Dick Morris, Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Brent Bozell, Jesse Lee Peterson, and Pat Buchanan saying even more outrageous things about the president and Hannity sits there agreeing with it.

When Hannity puts on one liberal, especially one that shouts over him, it's another combative interview. The commentator goes totally ballistic and starts complaining about how the "Obama-loving mainstream media" corrupts the minds of those who disagrees with him.

Like a dog with a bone in his mouth, Sean Hannity can't let go of these ridiculous issues. After listening to conservative Black commentator David Webb say the lie about President Barack Obama spending $5 trillion in government spending, Hannity rehashed an old Ronald Reagan line.

An "average" guy who makes over $150 million. Sean Hannity signed a ten year $100 million contract for Premiere Radio Networks and a $10 million contract for four years on Fox News.  

Whenever he confronts a liberal guest, he'll always say: "Are you better off now, then you were four years ago (and five trillion dollars now)?"

Sean Hannity's insults President Barack Obama by calling him: The whiner-in-chief, President Crybaby, President Civility, the Anointed One, and comparing him to one-term president Jimmy Carter.

He constantly attacks First Lady Michelle Obama for her healthy eating initiatives that could end obesity in children. He labeled her a hypocrite. He mocks the First Lady constantly. When she was on the campaign trail in 2008 campaign for then senator Barack Obama, she was saying "For the first time in my adult life, I am truly proud of my country! Because hope is coming back!"

He constantly whines about Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers. He urged Republican candidate Mitt Romney to  question the president's "associations" with these two individuals. The Romney campaign has abandoned that plan.

President Barack Obama has mentioned Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck by name. Conservatives treat this as a badge of honor for them to be mentioned by the president. They know that they're getting under his skin. 

Sean Hannity is the go-to-guy for Republicans and conservative activists. He's always there trying to help these extremists get air time.

The conservative agitator supports controversial figures such as the shooter of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, convicted war criminal Oliver North, and homophobic preacher Jerry Falwell. One he refuses to acknowledge is Hal Turner, a White Supremacist who turned into a federal informant. When Hannity got into it with New Black Panthers leader, Malik Zulu Shabazz, the Black separatist mentioned Hannity's long standing with the White supremacist.

Sean Hannity is a rich man. He signed a contract to stay on Fox News for four more years, a 10 year contract for Clear Channel's Premiere Radio Networks, and wrote his bestseller Conservative Victory. He claims he's an average guy, but yet makes ridiculous requests to fly private planes and takes $100,000 speaking fees. His Freedom Concerts are a fraud as well. The earnings for scholarships fail to match the cost of having washed up musicians like Charlie Daniels, Ted Nugent, Meatloaf and John Rich's performance fees.

So I come to grips with this guy! He needs Barack Obama to keep his ratings up. He needs the president to stay relevant. Because I bet you, if we elect a boring guy like Mitt Romney, I'll bet you that Fox News will lose 12% of its ratings.

Sean Hannity is completely unhinged with Obama Derangement Syndrome!

He can't help himself! He believes anyone who supports President Barack Obama is worshiping an alter of him. On radio, if a caller corrects Hannity on issues that favor the president, he'll cut off the phone call. He'll disrespect the caller for taking "Obama talking points (aka facts that dispute his argument)!"

I bet you that Mr. Hannity's has an alter of Ronald Reagan. Since he's obsessed with name dropping "The Gipper".

Touré: Mitt Romney Working A "Niggerization" Of President Obama!

Touré angered the Romney Campaign.

Touré, a pop culture analysis from MSNBC and Vibe Magazine made it clear that former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney really swallowed the dog whistle. That has the Romney campaign fuming! The campaign wants to kick the host off the air after this!

Touré made the news after it was reported by Mediaite and buzzed by conservative agitator Matt Drudge.

The commentator is one of the main host of The Cycle with conservative commentator S.E. Cupp, Steve Kornack, and Krystal Ball. 

Touré believes Mitt Romney is really pandering to the extremist wing of the Republican Party. After making a fiery speech in Chillicothe, Ohio, Mitt Romney demanded “[President Barack Obama] take his campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago.”

Touré who is African American and slightly conservative stated this issue really bothered him. 

"You notice he said anger twice. He’s really trying to use racial coding and access some really deep stereotypes about the angry black man. This is part of the playbook against Obama, the ''otherization,'' he’s not like us."

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ''niggerization''! You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear."

That's riled up the conservatives. Mediaite has the clip of the exchange between the commentator and S.E. Cupp. But the most disturbing is the comments. Since this was a link from The Drudge Report, his readers are lockstep in their word salad of hate. The conservative word salad will include either an insult on Touré, President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden or the Black community in general.



The Republicans are having trouble trying to win over Hispanics, Blacks and non-White voters. The president carries a 3:1 ratio when it comes to this block. Mitt Romney carries the White male vote overwhelmingly. President Barack Obama can achieve mainly 40% of the White vote.

Older White people are more likely to harbor bigoted views towards race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, political and economic standings. White conservative males are by far the most pessimistic voting block this year.

They're usually the ones who are angry about the struggling economy, illegal immigration, Black crime, and the president's race and his policies.

The exchange obtained by Mediaite has gone viral. Portion include, Touré denied calling [Romney and the Republicans] racist. This comment angered S.E. Cupp.

She stated to Touré: “Certainly you were implying that Mitt Romney and the base will respond to this dog-whistle, racially-charged coding, and hate Obama, the angry black man?”

“Absolutely,” he replied.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have dog whistled to the angry White conservative voter. They deny they've done it but a recent ad released by the Romney Campaign saying the president is a "sugar daddy" to welfare recipients.

“That’s so irresponsible,” Cupp answered back.

“This is not a revolutionary comment,” Touré later said. “This is a constituency all-white party that rejects the black vote.”

“You have two white guys in Joe Biden and Mitt Romney,” Cupp clarified. “Joe Biden made the overtly racial comment and has a history of making bigoted remarks. Mitt Romney was responding to the comment. Yet he is the one responsible for the whole Republican history of racism in politics?”

“That’s not what Touré is saying,” co-host Krystal Ball interjected. “You’re twisting his words.”

“No, he can speak for himself,” Cupp shot back.

“He’s using the playbook Republicans have been using for decades now,” Touré concluded.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will cover this controversy. I will assure you! But the point of this matter is how much Mitt Romney despises the media, in particular MSNBC.

Romney can't take criticism. He can't handle the pressure. He attacks President Barack Obama for being hateful and divisive. Yet, he's allowing Sean Hannity, John Sununu, Rush Limbaugh, Ted Nugent, and Jon Voight say nasty things about the president. He allows a woman to call the president a "monster" in front of a crowd.

President Barack Obama is feuding with Fox News, but yet he manages to go on The O'Reilly Factor or Special Report with Brett Beier. He knows the network supports Mitt Romney and the Republican Party.

They were attacking him for shutting out Fox News. During the 2009 debacle with Fox News, then White House communications adviser Anita Dunn famously declared that the network operates as a research arm of the Republican Party.

Fox News continues to agitate stories that paint President Barack Obama, Muslims, Hispanics, and the Black community in a negative light.

Before I go, I want to share with you the comments section of a linked story. Mediaite has closed off comments after finding racial slurs in the comment section. Most supporters of Barack Obama said that Romney should get over it. Most supporters of Mitt Romney have stated that the president and his progressive allies are the real "racists".

Thom Hartmann, the host of The Big Picture (simulcast radio show) on the Russia Today Network talks about how Mitt Romney panders to the extremist wing of the Republican Party.

Megadeath Singer Trashes Obama Overseas!

Aging rocker trashes President Obama overseas.

Dave Mustaine is never shy about his political views. He's endorsed Mitt Romney for president. I guess he's not comfortable to say it to the face of the President of The United States, so what does he do, go overseas and totally trashes President Barack Obama. Now you know conservatives get when a person criticizes a Republican president. They call for blood. I wonder if those liberals are heeding the message!

I am guessing he'll probably be getting his first interview on Sean Hannity's radio and television program.

The rock band is under fire for one member's rant about the tragedy in Wisconsin and the traitorous attack on President Barack Obama.

Like the Dixie Chicks, Eminem and Ludacris, if you're criticizing President George W. Bush, they call you a traitor. But if you're Ted Nugent, Dave Mustaine, Penn Gillette, Jon Lovitz, Jon Voight, and Victoria Jackson, you're a patriot.

Dave Mustaine, the frontman of Megadeath is catching some major flack after he went overseas to denounce the president.

Zap2It reports that the aging frontman believes the tragic shootings in at a Sikh Temple and Aurora, Colorado were conspiracies created by the president and Attorney General Eric Holder to take away firearms.


There are conspiracy theories, and then there is the stuff that comes out of Dave Mustaine 's mouth. Mustaine, the frontman for heavy-metal band Megadeth, has accused President Obama  of masterminding the "Dark Knight Rises" shooting and other incidents in order to pass gun-control legislation.

Mustaine made his rather extreme accusations in the middle of an Aug. 7 concert in Singapore during the the band's "Th1rt3en World Tour." In the middle of the show, he took a moment with the microphone to express his extreme dislike for the president.

"Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders," Mustaine says. "The 'Fast and Furious' thing down at the border. And Aurora, Colorado -- all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple. I was talking to J.D., our promoter here tonight -- what a great guy. I was saying, I don't know where I'm going to live if America keeps going the way it's going, because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America."

Mustaine's allegations refer to the Aug. 5 shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, the July 20 "Dark Knight Rises" shooting in Colorado, and the December 2010 murder of an Arizona border agent and subsequent scandal involving the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. If you believe Mustaine, all of these are the fault of President Obama.

If you really want to see the angry rant for yourself, check out the video from the concert.

Pimpin' Ain't Easy For ACORN Pimp James O'Keefe!

James O'Keefe (left), Hannah Giles (right) and Andrew Breitbart (center). A federal judge ruled that they could be legally sued for taping former ACORN workers in their sting videos. Andrew Breitbart died in 2012. 

In 2009, two conservative activists go into a low income housing and voting rights organization. These two dressed up as a prostitute and a pimp. The went "undercover" to expose this organization for voter fraud.

As they filmed the organization staff, they got "advice" from workers telling them how to get public assistance and how to register "Mickey Mouse" for the 2010 U.S. Midterm Elections. This young activist and his then girlfriend had went forth with their evidence of shady activity to one of the country's most hostile conservative agitator and the network responsible for the rise of the Tea Party Movement. This agitator was railing against the "establishment media" and their shielding of President Barack Obama.

Many Republicans believe this organization "stole" the election for Barack Obama. The Republicans vowed and succeeded in getting this organization shut down.

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now shut down in 2010, putting hundreds of workers out of jobs. The result of the the videos, which were recorded secretly by conservative activists Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe (the "young couple"), were released on Fox News and the late Andrew Breitbart's website BigGovernment.com from September into November 2009.

They quickly generated widespread, negative publicity for ACORN, a non-profit organization involved in voter registration, community organizing and advocacy for low- and moderate-income people for nearly 40 years. O'Keefe explained in September 2009 that he "targeted ACORN for the same reasons that the political right does: its massive voter registration drives".

Hannah Giles reputation was ruined after the ACORN videos.

The U.S. Census Bureau and the IRS ended contracts with the organization, and the U.S. Congress voted to suspend its funding to ACORN. Soon ACORN also lost most of its private funding, despite several independent investigations that by December 2009 began to reveal no criminal activity by ACORN staff had taken place. ACORN filed for Chapter 7 liquidation on November 2, 2010, effectively closing the organization.

The videos seriously tarnished Hannah Giles. She refused to participate in any other activist activities with James O'Keefe after the ACORN incident.

James O'Keefe is currently on probation for a federal crime. He tried to infiltrate the offices of Senator Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) over her participation in the deciding vote for the American Healthcare Reform law.

While on probation, James O'Keefe asked a federal judge to grant him permission to continue his "journalism" without causing a scene. That was granted. So off he goes!

James O'Keefe wanted to continue the same formula he did with ACORN. Alas, most of his schemes seem to backfire. The media hasn't covered the latest bombshells from James O'Keefe and his fellow conservative agitators Lila Rose and Jason Mattera. They seem more interested in facts over edited footage.

Since Andrew Breitbart's passing, his organization has struggled to stay relevant. His crack team of serial agitators have rolled out the Harvard tapes of Barack Obama. He was embracing Derrick Bell, a tenured professor who was campaigning against the discrimination of women and people of color in the Harvard Review. The Breitbart team thought they had a "smoking gun!" Nope, just another banana peel that's rotten.

In order to keep the movement going, they kept James O'Keefe and Lila Rose running across the country with their cameras looking to tear into an organization that supports progressive causes. Planned Parenthood, CNN, NPR, and even billionaire George Soros were targets of a James O'Keefe sting. Unfortuantely, those couldn't match the formula of ACORN.

James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles portrayed themselves as a pimp and prostitute who were looking for a way to get public assistance for underage prostitutes. 

Now that the ACORN sting tapes are long and gone. Some former workers are vowing revenge.

According to the New Civil Rights Movement, a federal judge has just refused to throw out a request from James O’Keefe, who infamously and secretly filmed an ACORN worker while pretending to be a pimp. The selectively-edited video, emblematic of O’Keefe’s ugly brand of journalism, ultimately led to the unfunding of ACORN by Congress and its subsequent bankruptcy.

“Juan Carlos Vera sued O’Keefe and his associate Hanna Giles in Federal Court on privacy claims, after O’Keefe secretly filmed Vera at an ACORN office in National City in 2009,” Courthouse News  reported:

The now-famous series of ACORN recordings featured O’Keefe posing as pimp, dressed in a chinchilla coat, while Giles was disguised as a prostitute.

“The edited video depicted plaintiff as conspiring to promote an underage prostitution business by agreeing to help defendants file fraudulent tax forms and smuggle underage girls from Mexico,” U.S. District Judge M. James Lorenz wrote in his order denying defendants’ request for summary judgment.

Vera, who said he contacted police shortly after the activists’ peculiar visit, sued them in the summer of 2010.

O’Keefe sought summary judgment, claiming that Vera had no expectation of privacy when the conversation was taped.

But Judge Lorenz found a “genuine dispute as to whether plaintiff’s [Vera's] expectation of privacy was reasonable.”

“ACORN is in the business of providing counseling and support for the community on various matters,” Lorenz wrote. “By its very nature, the organization handles personal matters with individual clients.

Defendants walked into ACORN and asked for plaintiff’s help with tax forms. … Specifically, they solicited his help with setting up an illegal prostitution business with underaged girls. … Plaintiff, as a worker for an organization like ACORN, reasonably believed that the content of the conversation was sensitive enough that it would remain private.”

O’Keefe duped Vera by asking if the conversation would remain confidential, before he launched into details of the nonexistent scheme, Lorenz wrote.

Over the course of a 40-minute conversation, Lorenz noted, the three “abruptly paused their conversation” after Vera’s supervisor, David Lagstein, entered the office, and continued talking after the supervisor left.

“Based on the surrounding circumstances, plaintiff reasonably believed that the conversation was private because it was held in his office with no one else present, and he believed that no one else was listening in on his conversation,” Lorenz wrote.

Because of this “genuine dispute,” Lorenz denied O’Keefe’s motion for summary judgment.

Shenanigans, Ohio!

                        

The Republicans are trying to end early voting in the eight urban areas in the state of Ohio.

• Columbus:    785,000 - state capital and largest city
• Cleveland     396,000
• Cincinnati     294,000
• Toledo         269,000
• Akron          199,000
• Dayton         141,000
• Canton         73,000
• Youngstown 67,000

Many in the state will see a change in how they do early voting. Secretary of State Jon Husted and Governor John Kasich are playing dirty bull! They are intending on disfranchising Black, Hispanic and poor voters.

President Barack Obama carried Ohio in 2008. The president is facing a deficit of support in this state and he hopes he can capture the magic of four years ago.

Most independent voters have swung back to the president. But with the state having issues with unemployment, high fuel prices and stalling progress, the voters of Ohio are going to take it out on someone.

Independents are crucial to both the president and Mitt Romney. Ohio is leaning towards President Barack Obama for now. It could change within the next few days.

Ohio governor John Kasich

In 2010, John Kasich beat incumbent Ted Strickland in a narrow race in this crucial swing state. When Strickland was in charge of the state, unemployment had reached about 10.4%. 

Kasich had went forth to winning the election. Under the whims of his former Fox News boss Roger Ailes, the former congressman and talk show host has shaked up the state in a negative way.

The job approval of the governor is in the lower 40s. Governor Kasich tried to dial back the collective bargaining rights of the public sector unions and the issue became a ballot issue. The state overwhelmingly repealed the law and sent a message to the Republican state legislators.

The Republicans ignored this message. They so far tried to pass a strict abortion law, lessen restrictions on having firearms in the public place, voter identification laws, and lease state properties to corporations.

Kasich claims credit for having the state unemployment tick down to 7.4% this year. In a mere year, the Republican governor would never credit the president for his success. Because if Ohio unemployment is down, it gradually affects the national unemployment levels.

Jon Husted, Ohio Secretary of State

The president went to a federal judge to have the court look into the state's new early voting law. They believe this is considered unconstitutional. The Republicans are denying this accusation.

Former governor of Massachusetts and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney was making the outrageous claim that President Barack Obama wants to deny active duty military from voting. 

That's not true. 

Bloomberg Financial News reports that under Ohio law, U.S. armed forces members and residents living overseas are allowed to cast ballots until the day before the Nov. 6 election, while early voting for all other Ohioans ends four days before, a split the Obama for America campaign, state and national Democratic parties call unconstitutional.

The case was “never about taking away the right of military or anyone else to vote during those three days, it’s about restoring that right to other Ohioans,” campaign attorney Donald McTigue told U.S. District Judge Peter Economus today during oral arguments in Columbus federal court.

As the arguments began, a Pennsylvania state court judge in Harrisburg rejected an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit challenging that state’s voter identification law. The judge ruled the civil rights group failed to prove the measure would disenfranchise voters. The plaintiffs said they would appeal.

Ohio holds 18 of the 270 electoral college votes needed to win a presidential election and no Republican has won without a victory there. In 2008, Obama won the state with 51.5 percent of the ballots cast. The judge didn’t rule during the 90-minute hearing. Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes.

Ohio previously had one early voting period that enabled all voters to vote until the day before Election Day, before legislation signed by Republican Governor John Kasich  over the past two years created the division. Obama and Democrats sued Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted last month, seeking to enjoin the law.

‘Fundamental Right’

“There is no fundamental right to in-person early voting,” Husted and DeWine, who are both Republicans, said in an Aug. 1 filing opposing the injunction request. Ohio has a rational basis for treating military and overseas voters differently from its other eligible residents, they said.

Ohio’s curb on early voting for non-military citizens is needed to allow local election boards to synchronize the early balloting records with those at 9,800 polling places to prevent people from voting twice, said Husted.

“There’s a balance we have to strike between access and accuracy,” he said.

Ohio  attorney William Consovoy told the judge the “state believes that there needs to be time to prep for election day,” adding that “absentee voting is not a fundamental right.”

Obama and the Democrats disagreed, contending there’s no distinction between otherwise-eligible voters that justifies giving more time to one group than to another.

“Because Ohio has made those voting mechanisms available, it cannot then deny them to some of its citizens on an arbitrary basis,” the party and campaign said in a July 17 filing.

Fifteen fraternal military organizations on Aug. 6 won permission from the judge to intervene on the side of the state.

About That Memo?

Thomas Caffall opened fire on residents of College Station, Texas. He ended up killing a police officer before they killed him. Again, conservatives turn a blind eye when a right wing extremist comes into the spotlight.

                             
The tragedy near the campus of Texas A&M University has once again brought into question of the rise of radicalism in the conservative movement.

Fueled by the economic struggles, Congress inept handling of polices, changing demographics where Blacks and Hispanics are growing rapidly, and the very likelihood that President Barack Obama will secure a second term has the White conservative male, totally unhinged.

Five tragedies in this year alone involving a lone wolf domestic terrorist.

These issues are growing and the country should take notice! Another Timothy McVeigh could happen!

Another Jared Lee Loughner could happen! Another Wade Page could happen!

This is the rise of right wing extremism.

Vice President Joe Biden gave Republicans unease after he slammed the Mitt Romney campaign's pledge to repeal the Financial Reform Law that Congress passed in 2010. He made a comment, "They'll have y'all back in chains" to a crowd in Danville, Virginia.

Romney in Ohio slammed the president and declared that "[President Barack Obama], take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago’.

Romney, his running mate Paul Ryan and their allies in the conservative movement have dog whistled to the unhinged White conservative male with rhetoric that could inspire another mass shooting tragedy.

The president, Mitt Romney and Congress are scared of the National Rifle Association.

They know the risk of taking on the gun lobby. The gun lobby can inspire law-abiding gun owners to the polls with rhetoric of the government taking your guns!

Glenn Beck's rhetoric has inspired the conservative Tea Party movement. Yet his rhetoric also has inspired radicalism within the conservative movement.

Mitt Romney is wobbly on firearms and his pick of Paul Ryan, Republican congressman from Wisconsin has settled a little bit of the worries of the gun rights organization.

They turn a blind eye when a tragedy happens! When it involves a White conservative male with obsession with firearms, the Republicans would distance themselves from this. They claim the media paints conservatism in a bad light whenever a tragedy happens.

The shooting in College Station, Texas is an interesting one. This reminds me of the shooting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in which Richard Poplawski, a 23 year old man with ties to White supremacists shot and killed three officers in a standoff in his mother's home.

The gentleman Thomas Caffall was an individual obsessed with firearms, Fox News and the hatred of President Barack Obama.

Buzzfeed obtained Caffall's Facebook page and forum chats. They're disturbing!

Of many there's his views of Thomas Paine, Ronald Reagan and gasp the conservative agitator Glenn Beck are among his "likes".

According to WPTV, the gunman who killed two others before police ended his life in a shootout near Texas A&M University had been battling mental health issues on and off for years, his mother said.

Police say Thomas Caffall, known to his family as "Tres," killed a constable and a bystander and injured four others Monday before police fatally shot him.

His mother, Linda Weaver, said the family became worried after Caffall quit his job in January and announced that he would never work again.

"We had been very concerned about him," Weaver told CNN.

Caffall had withdrawn from the family, and the fear was that he might attempt suicide, his mother said.

But she never imagined that her son would hurt anyone else, or that his end would come so violently.
"Losing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. This is worse," she said.

Police said Caffall, 35, shot and killed Brian Bachmann, a constable for Brazos County, and Chris Northcliffe, an area resident.

Bachmann had approached Caffall's apartment to deliver an eviction notice, and Northcliffe just happened to be nearby.

Brian Bachmann, a College Texas Police officer was shot and killed.

Also nearby was Rigo Cisneros, a former Army medic who assisted both Bachmann and Caffall after the shooting.

As he lay dying, the gunman offered an apology for what he had done, Cisneros told CNN's Brooke Baldwin.

"He did ask me to apologize to the officer he had shot," he said.

Three College Station police officers and a woman were injured in the shooting, police said.

The woman, Barbara Holdsworth, was in serious condition after undergoing surgery.

Investigators on Tuesday continued to process the crime scene.

The area covers "a couple of blocks," College Station Police Chief Jeff Capps said.

The suspect "fired multiple rounds and investigators have recovered long guns and a pistol from the scene," he said.

As the incident unfolded Monday, an alert warning of a gunman was sent out by Texas A&M, one of the state's flagship universities and a sprawling campus of nearly 47,000 students.

According to his Facebook campaign page, Bachmann was a 41-year-old from College Station who had been a Brazos County sheriff's deputy since 1993. The county's website indicated that his four-year term as constable -- an elected position that involves, among other duties, serving court documents such as eviction notices and subpoenas to citizens -- was set to expire on December 31, 2014.

Bachmann was an up-and-coming law enforcement leader who some expected to run for sheriff one day, said Marc Hamlin, the district clerk for Brazos County and friend of the slain constable for more than 20 years.

"He was a true public servant," Hamlin told CNN.

Whenever a group wanted a law enforcement officer or squad car for a community event, Bachmann was always the first to volunteer, Hamlin said.

He also volunteered to help his friends.

On Monday, Bachmann had lunch with his chief deputy, who had to deliver the eviction notice at the nearby residence afterward. Bachmann took the notice and volunteered to serve it himself, Hamlin said.

A search of court records showed no record of Caffall having run-ins with the law except for a traffic violation.

Caffall's mother described her son as an intelligent youth who wasted opportunities available to him.

"It's so hard to imagine that the really sweet kid you raised turned into a huge monster, and that is what he is now," Weaver said.

He enjoyed collecting weapons and refinishing them, Weaver said, so his owning guns wasn't worrisome, his mother said.

Weaver said Caffall had been very affected by the death of his father when he was 12. She said it is hard to comprehend how the same person would deprive Bachmann's children of their father.

Bachmann's three children -- ages 19, 10 and 8 -- would accompany their father on mission trips in Texas.

On a recent trip, they built wheelchair ramps and roofs, Hamlin said.

"He was strong in his faith and strong in his family," he said.

Less is known about Caffall. He was divorced, and was in the constant companionship of a large Sheltie-mix named Lucy, his mother said. Lucy's fate is unclear.

Conservatives thought this was an insult. They thought that President Barack Obama was stifling freedom of speech. They think he's coming for their guns. They were wrong!

Barack Obama is the first African American to elected as the President of The United States. Many Black people acknowledge that being the first Black president comes at a price. Blacks know that anything done by President Obama can create controversy. They know that a majority of White people are uncomfortable with him. White conservative men are the most pessimistic voters and most likely to be unhinged.

With rhetoric coming from cable news such as Fox News, talk radio, the blogs like The Drudge Report and Breitbart, could the next mass shooting occur in another town?

Biden: Romney & Ryan Will Keep Y'All In Chains!

                                 

President Barack Obama hits the campaign trail fresh after the news that Republican candidate Mitt Romney chosen the Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for his running mate.

The president's strongest allies are not only former president Bill Clinton and Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, but the gaffe prone Vice President Joe Biden. Once again, the Republicans are pouncing on the statements of Vice President Biden and they feel that the "race card" was played when he spoke to a crowd of Black voters.

Say it ain't so, Joe!

The conservatives are riled up over the vice president's statements at an event in Danville, Virginia. Biden takes on Mitt Romney's pledge to repeal the Financial/Banking Reform Law. Biden used the "ol' Black slang" when describing the Republican candidate.

Jake Tapper of ABC News reports that the vice president said to the Danville, Virginia, crowd that the House GOP budget, partly written by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, gives an indication of the Republican presidential ticket’s values.

                           

“We got a real clear picture of what they all value,” Biden said. “Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’ They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”

An Obama campaign official tells ABC News that “as the full quote makes obvious, the Vice President was clearly using a metaphor to describe the devastating impact of deregulating Wall Street and the financial industry, as well as how Governor Romney’s policies would take us back to the same failed formula that led to the 2008 financial crisis – the same failed formula that benefitted a few, but crashed our economy and hurt the middle class.”

Defenders of the vice president suggest that he inartfully was attempting to play off language Republicans have used about President Obama needing to “unshackle” small businesses and the economy.

Asked about the comments by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, Obama campaign deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the president “probably agrees with Joe Biden’s sentiments.  I mean he’s using a metaphor….He was making a point that if we repeal Wall Street reform which is what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to do, we’re going to go back to the days where they’re writing their own rules, and we saw what happened. Taxpayers had to bail them out. We had to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars bailing them out. Now I would think that that, you know, that is a problem for middle class taxpayers. That would hamper their ability to take care of their own finances.”

                  

Cutter said, “the bottom line is that we have no problem with those comments.”

Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said, “In case anyone was wondering just how low President Obama could go in his campaign for re-election, we now know he’s willing to say that Governor Romney wants to put people back in chains.

Whether its accusing Mitt Romney of being a felon, having been responsible for a woman’s tragic death or now wanting to put people in chains, there’s no question that because of the President’s failed record he’s been reduced to a desperate campaign based on division and demonization.”

Mr. Biden also told the crowd that if they get out the vote, “we can win North Carolina again.” Danville is close to the North Carolina border, but it is in fact in Virginia.

Florida Teen Busted For Woman Butt Grab!

The Raw Story and The Smoking Gun covered this one.

Okay, we'll first say that this belongs to the People of Walmart website. This story begs for conservative agitation. This story brings out the mentally inept White Supremacists who fear that the "Niggers" are coming for their women!

This should attract the Fox Nation, The Drudge Report and other conservative agitators who feel the need to blame President Barack Obama or the Black community.

Walmart, the world's largest retail superstore, has some of the most interesting things. From scantly clad men wearing daisy dukes and high heels, to people using other people's credit cards, the most obvious thing you'll find in a Walmart, is the sick pervert looking for a suburban honey dip so he get a feel on!

Meet 18 year old Aaron Morris. The teenager was busted while getting a feel of a woman's buttock.

He was standing near the fitting rooms and he saw the woman. I guess he got a rise in the pants and decided to get a "smack of da booty!"

At the North Lauderdale Walmart, the young man “approached the victim and willfully and intentionally grabbed the victim’s right buttocks against her will.”


The victim later identified Morris at local RaceTrac gas station, where he explained his actions.

“Her booty looked so good,” he said. “I just couldn’t resist touching it.”

Morris is being held at the Broward County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bond.

I am guessing that Morris had seen the website. Here's a video from a user on YouTube describing the People of Walmart.

This is a not safe for work video.

Cosmo Girl!

                       

Helen Gurley Brown the former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan dies at age 90. She was the crowning of a new women's movement.


Brown's bestselling book Sex and the Single Girl was published. In 1965, she became editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and reversed the fortunes of the failing magazine. During the decade of the 1960s she was an outspoken advocate of women's sexual freedom and sought to provide them with role-models and a guide in her magazine.

She claimed that women could have it all, "love, sex, and money", a view that even preceding feminists such as Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer did not support at all and has been met with notable opposition by advocates of grass-roots devotion of women to family and marriage. Due to her advocacy, glamorous, fashion-focused women were sometimes called "Cosmo Girls". Her work played a part in what is often called the sexual revolution.

In 1997, Brown was ousted from her role as the U.S. editor of Cosmopolitan and was replaced by Bonnie Fuller. When she left, Cosmopolitan ranked sixth at the newsstand, and for the 16th straight year, ranked first in bookstores on college campuses.

However, she stayed on at Hearst publishing and remained the international editor for all 59 international editions of Cosmo until her death on August 13, 2012.

In September, 2008, she was named the 13th most powerful American over the age of 80 by Slate magazine.
