Over the last few years if you muttered the slight disagreement with President Obama, you were quickly branded a “racist”. In fact, a close friend of mine admitted that was the progressive perspective during the primary with Hillary Clinton.
Now, let’s fast forward and we will discover the blatant hypocrisy of the leftist who pretend to be tolerant and above the name calling. Bill Maher has been the torch bearer, leading the mainstream progressive attacks on Sarah Palin and now, Michele Bachmann.
Early last week Maher said on CNN’s Piers Morgan Show he wished Palin moved up in the polls:
“I would need a gun to my head. I hope Sarah Palin gets in so that they split the MILF vote.”
Yep, the MILF reference added to the pop culture lexicon from “American Pie”: “Mom I’D Like To F–k.”
Morgan found it humorous and let Maher continue unchallenged.
But I guess Bachmann, I don’t know. Who could say? Because, at least she’s somebody who can read. You know, she has a job. She was a lawyer. She’s in Congress. She’s not someone who just sits there and reads the prayers on her Blackberry like Sarah Palin. I mean, you know, we’re splitting hairs here.
Maher is the posterchild of liberal denial: “He’s not even a liberal!” – Maher says of President Obama.
“You know I love him,” Maher said. “You know you can’t not. I mean coming in after Bush, first of all, you have him there, you have a guy you can relate to. He’s intelligent, he can speak English. I don’t think about George Bush at all anymore, which is great. He’s like an uncle who molested me and I blocked it out. You know? And you could just tell, you know, you’d like to have dinner with Obama. He’s an erudite guy, he’s a constitutional law professor.”
Yes, he compared the former President to child molestation.
Maher returned to the sex theme on his HBO show attacking Bachmann Christian counseling clinic, well actually, attacking Michele Bachmann’s husband. Comic Marc Maron, part of the panel, says:
“I hope [he] takes all that rage that comes from repression and denial into the bedroom with her…and I hope he f***s her angrily, because that’s how I would.”
Sex advice columnist Dan Savage on the panel decided to diffuse the sexism bomb by throwing another Republican candidate under the insult bus:
“I sometimes think about f***ing the s*** out of Rick Santorum…I’m up for whipping up some Santorum in Santorum.”
Yes, that’s the same Dan Savage who said: “I wish (Republicans) were all f***ing dead”
A day or two later Maher attempts to address the sexism allegations:
And finally, New Rule: Republicans have to stop thinking up intricate psychological explanations for why liberals don’t like Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann. Let me save you all some time. Are you ready? Because they’re crazy people, people who are not that bright and full of awful ideas. Pretty much the exact same reasons we didn’t care for George Bush and made jokes about him. So trust me, it’s not because they have breast. It’s because they are boobs.
Now, I’m not saying that sexism doesn’t exist and isn’t real. And we can’t, but we can’t throw around the word “sexist” just to stop people like me from pointing out that Michele Bachmann, now running second for the Republican presidential nomination, isn’t a dangerous nincompoop. And when I point out that Sarah Palin is a vainglorious braggart, a liar, a whiner, a professional victim, a scold, a know-it-all, a chiseler, a bully who sells patriotism like a pimp, and the leader of a strange family of inbred weirdos straight out of “The Hills Have Eyes,” that’s not sexist. I’m saying it because it’s true, not because it’s true of a woman.
So it’s clear to, Maher viciously attacks Palin and Bachmann not because he hates women, but because he hates the conservative positions in which these two women firmly believe. He has no respect for them, so dropping sexist insults or profanity is entirely acceptable.
My new question then is quite simple: why can’t Maher similarly “get it” that Tea Party supporters or anyone who strongly opposes President Obama not because he’s black, but because they hate the liberal positions in which Obama firmly believes?

Bill Maher's crudely urges on Democrats
Originally posted at The Desk of Brian: www.DeskofBrian.com -- read it here: http://sites.google.com/site/thedeskofbrian/state-of-the-nation/billmaherscrudeurgesondemocrats
From March 26, 2010 Bill Maher's show on HBO Bill Maher offers advice to President Obama: tell the populace to kiss his ass, made vulgar references to Tiger Woods and the John Edwards affair, comparing health care to violence sex acts. Maher says to tell the Republicans to "Go F*** themselves" as Obama "drags the ignorant hillbilly half into this century." One last Sarah Palin joke and Maher completes his update on how the left see politcs, Obama's "socialism" and the rest of America.
Here's a word President Obama should take out of his Teleprompter:

One last Sarah Palin joke and Maher completes his update on how the left see politcs, Obama's "socialism" and the rest of America.
Here's a word President Obama should take out of his Teleprompter:
Bipartisanship. People only care about that in theory, not in practice.
The best thing that happened this year is when Obama finally realized
that and said: "Kiss my black ass, we're going it alone George W. Bush
style." [applause]
Now, two months ago, conservative Fred Barnes
wrote, "the health care bill is dead with not the slightest prospect of
resurrection." Well, if it's dead, you just got your ass kicked by a
zombie named Nancy Pelosi. Seriously, the last time a Democrat showed
balls like that John Edwards' girlfriend was filming it.
And yet, even before the Democrats got to take a single victory lap, they
were being warned not to get drunk with power. I disagree. All you
Democrats do a shot and then do another. Get drunk on this feeling of
not backing down and doing what you came to Washington to do. [applause]
Do not listen to the people who are now saying that nothing else big
should be attempted for a while because health care was so rough.
Wrong. Because I learned something watching the lying bullies of the
right lose this one. When they’re losing, they squeal like a pig. They
kept saying things like, the bill was being "shoved down our throats."
Or the Democrats were "ramming it through." The bill was so big they "couldn't take it all at once." [laughter]
And you know what? I realized listening to this rhetoric that it reminded me of something.
It reminded me of Tiger Woods' text messages to his mistress that were
made public last week, where he said, and I quote: "I want to treat you
rough, throw you around, spank and slap you and make you sore. I want
to hold you down and choke you while I f*** that ass that I own. Then
I'm going to tell you to shut the f*** up while I slap your face and
pull your hair for making noise." Unquote. [laughter]
And this, I believe, perfectly represents the attitude the Democrats should now
have in their dealings with the Republican Party. [applause]
Yes, it does. That's what they should be saying to the Republicans: "Shut
the f*** up while I slap your face for making noise! Now pass the
cap-and-trade law, you stupid b*tch, and repeat after me, ‘global
warming is real.’" [applause]
The Democrats need to push the rest of their agenda while their boot is on the neck of the greedy, poisonous old reptile. Who cares if cap-and-trade bill isn't popular,
neither was health care. Your poll numbers may have descended a bit,
but so did your testicles.
So don't stop. We need to regulate the banks, we need to overhaul immigration, we need to end corporate welfare including at the Pentagon, we need to bring troops home from
everywhere, we need to end the drug war, and we need to put terrorists
and other human rights violators on trial in civilian courts --
starting with Dick Cheney. [applause]
Democrats, in conclusion, Democrats in America were put on earth to do one thing: Drag the ignorant hillbilly half of this country into the next century, which in
their case is the 19th. And by passing health care, the Democrats saved
their brand.
A few months ago, Sarah Palin mockingly asked them: "How's that ‘hopey-changey’ thing working for you?" Great, actually, thanks for asking. And how's that whole ‘Hooked on Phonics’ thing working out for you? [laughter]

Palin's Down Syndrome Son target of Family Guy gag
Recent "State of the Nation" by Brandon Jones posts this week on Desk of Brian:
http://sites.google.com/site/thedeskofbrian/state-of-the-nation/palinsdownsyndromesontargetoffamilyguygag
http://sites.google.com/site/thedeskofbrian/state-of-the-nation/palinsdownsyndromesontargetoffamilyguygag
"Family Guy" is in the business of satire, mocking everyone from the right, the left, politics and non-politics. Sarah Palin's son Trig, who has Down Syndrome, is the target of a recent episode.
In the episode, the main character, Chris, dates a mentally disabled girl. While never mentioning Palin by name, the girl drew a clear comparison to her son, Trig, when she told Chris, "My dad's an accountant, and my mom's the former governor of Alaska."(see the Huffington Post article here)
Palin posted on her Facebook page that it "felt like a kick in the gut" and Bristol Palin said the "All they (creators) proved is that they are heartless jerks."
Attacking Sarah Palin is obviously fair game, which South Park and others have done very well. Attacking the infant's genetic anomaly - crass, tasteless and below the belt, even for Family Guy.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs lowers the bar further to mock Sarah Palin
Originally posted at The Desk of Brian, www.DeskofBrian.com
After Sarah Palin stumbled over her own by writing shallow talking points on her hand to survive a post Tea Party Q&A, our Press Secretary decided to lower the standards even further.

Instead of leaving the jokes to Jon Stewart and Jimmy Kimmel, Gibbs mocked Palin with a grocery list on his hand.
"Eggs, milk and bread," Gibbs read from the black ink stains on his palm, claiming he was going to “make pancakes” for his son Ethan.
"But I crossed out bread,” he added, pointing to the line that showed the word bread with a line through it.
"Then I wrote down hope and change just in case I forgot them,” quipped Gibbs.
The details (chronicled by Chattahbox) illustrates the divisive, juvenile behavior that politicians and their administration feel are appropriate.
So this is high brow politics of the Obama administration.
FOX Defending Palin is Asinine
Follow up to date postings of "State of the Nation" on Desk of Brian: Desk of Brian.com
A former Governor, VP candidate, who just spoke on these issues, should NOT need "Budget Cuts"...ugh, sorry, "Tax Cuts" scribbled on her hand to answer ANY question.
Even while mocking President Obama's obsessive use of a teleprompter, Sarah Palin has notes on her left hand to assist her in a Q&A session after a Tea Party speech.
"Energy, Budget(scratched out) Tax Cuts, Lift American Spirits"
That's it?!?! Palin needs notes for that?
Notes on deficit figures, the latest unemployment data, health care statistics - nope: "lift American spirits" --- apalling.
Of course FOX is defending their prized Presidential candidate, but the most absurd was on FOX & Friends:
Gretchen Carlson: "I think she did it on purpose… ‘Cause I think it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter, reading off complete script written for you with every word in a sentence. And here she’s just taken crib notes on her hand. It makes it look as if she can just talk off the cuff and that she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big, long speech."
Gretchen, of course she DID IT ON PURPOSE! Do you think she let Willow jot down a few suggestions for her Mommy before sending her off to the enormous Tea Party crowd.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade made things worse: "There’s nothing wrong if she had a card, just jot a card down… But to sit there, …do the interview and then look down at her hand, I think that is… like you said Gretchen, before, folksy, absolutely down to earth, I can identify. But if you’re gonna write on your hand, why not just say, ‘Staffer, can you hand me a card?’ And then it would have been OK."
Maybe I'm alienating myself here but I don't want the President to be a co-dependent shill relying on his teleprompter and I don't want Sarah Palin, who can't speak off of the cuff on her core values or principles.
A former Governor, VP candidate, who just spoke on these issues, should NOT need "Budget Cuts"...ugh, sorry, "Tax Cuts" scribbled on her hand to answer ANY question.
This is just insanity.
Hannity used the incident as a chance to chastise the President over his "corpse-men" miscue. So FOX expects the President to write down that the "P silence in Corps" on his right hand (he's left-handed) and "follow the prompter" on his right.
To compound matters, Palin was railing on Obama as a "charismatic" leader who needs a teleprompter just moments earlier, waving around her "lift American spirits" scribble for the world to see. Maybe she can write "hypocrite" on her right hand.
From "Palin holds all the answers in the palm of her hand" to using her "palm pilot" or scribbling notes on her "palm Post-it" Palin just became the target for ridicule from her haters.
This time it's more than deserved, it's truly telling. Palin has revealed the truth: she's an empty suit like most of her peers.

Bristol adding another chapter to the Palin Soap Opera
Bristol Palin's abstinence, child support renew the soap opera
Follow original published columns here at DeskofBrian.com
posted Jan 25, 2010 10:06 AM by Brandon Jones
Filing for child support, announcing her renewed chastity on Oprah and vowing not to make the same mistake twice, Bristol Palin again graces headlines heading into the crosshairs of new attacks.
She was mocked on "The View" by Joy Behar1 as headlines describe her: "Ho Sit Down: Bristol Palin preaching abstinence now"2
Unfortunately, like her mother, Bristol is a magnet for the spotlight, seemingly enjoying the attention. TMZ has confirmed Palin is seeking $1,750 per month in child support from Levi Johnston who recently cashed in on a Playgirl photo spread.
Anyone else feel like we're witnessing a cable reality show?
Sarah resigns to spend more time with the family, only to embark on a book tour reaping the cash rewards of her celebrity status. Mother Palin inks a lucrative deal to join FOX leaving the 19-year-old to endure single motherhood on her own.
Of course ex-boyfriend, now Playgirl centerfold model, will have to pony up some cash to keep Bristol free to tour the talking heads, cable networks and gossip magazines to perpetuate her pathetic psuedo-celebrity status.
"I have this big, supportive family and stuff, but I just felt so alone," Bristol proclaims during the Oprah interview.
Stuff?
This "stuff" hasn't stopped poor, stressed Bristol from setting up a PR firm as Hot Air reports. Public relations and damage control certainly needs to be a focus for the Palin family.
The Palin soap opera could replace the Kardashians leaving few of us surprised. Instead of political integrity, gaining political capital, Sarah Palin will be marred be these antics.
We can only be hopeful that this is the ceiling of aspirations for Sarah, Bristol and the rest of the clan.

2009: Another and quite different look back
2009 brought us "Hope and Change" with our half-black President and a team of extreme leftists to run our beloved country. We soon discovered that some things wouldn't change. My "Year End" blog here reflected on the political landscape of 2009 but left some thoughts unmentioned.
Windows 7 would stink less than Vista.
The newspapers would remain blind to their political and social biases and plunge deeper and deeper into financial ruins.
We'd lose David Carradine, the Kung Fu star, but catch the sex offender Roman Polanski. We'd witness an amazing landing a plane in the Hudson River and the capture of a marine vessel by Somali pirates.
"Slumdog Millionaire" is supposed to be entertaining, the Stock Market will bounce back, Al Franken really REALLY won in Minnesota and Sarah Palin is quitting.
Lady Gaga (left) gave us a laugh and a head scratch at the same time. Violence in Iran to suppress protess made us gasp and cry as thousands are brutalized. The Henne balloon boy scandal invokes fear, sadness and anger as the tale unfolds.
2009 had it all.
Hypocrisy rang loud in "09" as David Letterman went public about his affair(s) maintaining his integrity (by some standards) yet ridiculed Tiger Woods for his transgressions. Actress Brittany Murphy passed away leaving many to wonder who she was, while Ted Kennedy died and few remembered Mary Jo Kopechne.
The Sci-Fi Channel renamed the network "SyFy", Jay Leno left the Tonight Show to basically becomes it's opening act and Saturday Night Live anxiously awaits the return of Sarah Palin so Tina Fey's impersonation can return to save their show.
What were Americans doing in 2009? We can look at the Top 10 Yahoo Searches in 2009:
10. Runescape - The free PC game is a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) which translates to a lot, A LOT, of folks sitting around in their underwear pretending to have life while the real world passes them by. #9 NASCAR, #7 American Idol, #5 Britney Spears, #4 Megan Fox, #3 WWE, #2 Twilight and no Surprise #1 - Michael Jackson.
For those that are not too drowsy, yes I skipped #8: Kim Kardashian.
Taking over for Paris Hilton in the "Famous for Being Famous" category arose from one of the deplorable shows "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and for dating football star Reggie Bush. Reality TV dominated again with another year exploiting humans for ratings and Kardashian delivered the most extreme and deployment characteristics to float to the top of the Reality TV's cesspool of fame.
It may have started in 2008, but 2009 is the year H1N1, Swine Flu, became a buzzword in every household. While the disease spread across the globe, hysteria provoked more panic as the media preached the fear of a pandemic. Cases and death tolls were and are marginally compared to regular seasonal flu.
On a side note, the "Anti-Motivational" Posters (as posted here) became the rage of many mass e-mails. They are hysterical yet often disturbing and inappropriate. Not for the PC, Politically Correct, Crowd, but I'd highly recommend Googling them for a laugh.
American Idol provided an unlikely star in Susan Boyle and a provocative one in Adam Lambert. Boyle's voice surprised the AI judges, fans and became a worldwide phenom. Later, her album sold over 650,000 copies by Christmas. Lambert followed his Idol tenure with a S&M presentation on the American Music Awards, including kissing another male on stage. How many will remember it was Kris Allen who walked away with the American Idol title.
Thousands upon thousands wanted arrived to witness the funeral of Michael Jackson. As the Staples Center in Los Angeles filled to capacity, thousands were stranded outside to worship the "King of Pop" costing taxpayers $4-5 million.
Jackson's death sparked more interest in his music than he had in years, culminating with a movie "This is It" which grossed $72 million at the box office. Jackson graced the covers of magazines everywhere and his album "Thriller" hit #1 on iTunes.
This was a huge fervor, one that was revisited with another bow to the Japanese Emperor. President Obama bows, here, to the Saudi king. Dan Lothian of CNN the Press Secretary is it was a bow or not. Gibbs: "No, I think he bent over with both, to shake -- with both hands to shake his hand..."

We need to vote the Judge, the Economist & Dr No in 2012
We are in an unprecedented time in our history. Thousand page bills, midnight votes by Congress, record spending all lead the headlines nearly everyday. Unprecedented trials require unprecedented solutions and the survey showing the "Tea Party Movement" ahead of both the Democratic and Republican parties shines the light to lead us.
There have been no announcements by any of these individuals. This is just my posturing as facts are reviewed and individual strengths are analyzed.
People aren't flocking to support Republicans in spite of their anger towards the liberal leadership of the Democrats and this is because Republicans betrayed the public trust time and time again.
John F. Kennedy's famous quote: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for country.
Maybe it's time to recruit rather than wait.
No longer are politicians, especially from Congress, the best suited to be President of the United States. We need vision, guidance and most importantly, we need to return to the ideals and mandates in the Constitution.
Across the landscape, there are few clearer voices than Judge Andrew Napolitano. Ron Paul's message has been proven correct time and time again, yet he's been marginalized by the press and Congress. Unfortunately, that reputation and his age would probably hinder an election bid in 2012.
"The Judge" however, is articulate and a clear constitutionalist. Glenn Beck's greatest contribution is not on FOX or his radio show, it was the Tea Party Movement and the 9/12 Project which engaged folks across America to embrace the Constitution and the greatness of our founders.
Normally a Presidential candidate waits for their nomination before announcing a Vice President running mate, but here we need a "slight breach of etiquette" (to quote one of my favorite movies) and appoint Dr. Walt E. Williams.
Williams, the George Mason economist, would probably announce my insanity with such a proclamation; however, the economy has to be turned around RIGHT NOW and Dr. Williams could be key to that process. With a ticket clearly defined to the American people, the organizers like Beck could harness the energy to drive success.
The empty suits headlining the Republican candidates will quote Reagan and provide the same old talking points.
Talking is over.
We need vision.
Sarah Palin needs to take her energy into Congress and lead from there, not the White House. The greatest minds we have like Thomas Woods and Ron Paul need to be part of a team that rival our founders not quiver in their shadows.
Judge America. Judge this administration with frivolous promises of Hope and Change. Judge the economy and the skyrocketing unemployment. Judge America.
Then Vote Judge in 2012.

There have been no announcements by any of these individuals. This is just my posturing as facts are reviewed and individual strengths are analyzed.
People aren't flocking to support Republicans in spite of their anger towards the liberal leadership of the Democrats and this is because Republicans betrayed the public trust time and time again.
John F. Kennedy's famous quote: Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for country.
Maybe it's time to recruit rather than wait.
No longer are politicians, especially from Congress, the best suited to be President of the United States. We need vision, guidance and most importantly, we need to return to the ideals and mandates in the Constitution.
Across the landscape, there are few clearer voices than Judge Andrew Napolitano. Ron Paul's message has been proven correct time and time again, yet he's been marginalized by the press and Congress. Unfortunately, that reputation and his age would probably hinder an election bid in 2012.
"The Judge" however, is articulate and a clear constitutionalist. Glenn Beck's greatest contribution is not on FOX or his radio show, it was the Tea Party Movement and the 9/12 Project which engaged folks across America to embrace the Constitution and the greatness of our founders.
Normally a Presidential candidate waits for their nomination before announcing a Vice President running mate, but here we need a "slight breach of etiquette" (to quote one of my favorite movies) and appoint Dr. Walt E. Williams.
Williams, the George Mason economist, would probably announce my insanity with such a proclamation; however, the economy has to be turned around RIGHT NOW and Dr. Williams could be key to that process. With a ticket clearly defined to the American people, the organizers like Beck could harness the energy to drive success.
The empty suits headlining the Republican candidates will quote Reagan and provide the same old talking points.
Talking is over.
