Creating The Enemy

This clip reminds me of a segment that was on Fox And Friends this morning where they were interviewing a person that was allegedly a former member of the Iranian Guard. Although this hasn't be corroborated by any outside source, he didn't appear on any other network, and it all seemed rather convenient that this would happen just as Iran's leader was to address the U.N.



You see, same premise. Can't tell you who the guy is, but he backs up Beck's poorly constructed thesis regarding FDR. Can't tell you what he told me except that he warned me that "they" are out to get me.

It's this type of conspiratorial fearmongering that causes people to take up a violent position because they think their country and their very lives are in danger. Kind of lends an air of credibility to what CNN's Roland Martin said - sometimes Americans can just be plain dumb.

Cutting Off The Tea-Bagger's Noses

It seems that this could be nothing more than damage control over what happened on Glenn Beck's radio program to Debra Medina

We’ve always banned truthers at RedState. Increasingly, we have also banned a number of individuals who think Barack Obama is disqualified from being President because despite the Republican Governor of Hawaii confirming the legitimacy of the Democratic President’s birth origin as a citizen of the United States these birthers (”birfers” because it sounds as crazy as they are) refuse to move on.

Today I want to reaffirm and make it more definitive. If you think 9/11 was an inside job or you really want to debate whether or not Barack Obama is an American citizen eligible to be President, RedState is not a place for you.

Birfers and Truthers are not welcome here. Period. End of Story.

While Medina is somewhat of a unique case-study in conservative thought ( as most "truthers" are left-leaning in their political ideology ) conspiracy theory runs rampant throughout the Tea-Bagger movement. And even though Medina never made mention of her thoughts on the birth of Barack Obama, this mindset makes up a massive amount of Tea-Bagger participants. At this point in the game, Medina is essentially the lone Tea-Bagger-Truther, though many Ron Paul supporters are activists in this particular movement and hold the "9/11 Truth" mantra as one of their key pillars. So in that regard, it's safe to say that there are more people like Medina than have yet to be "outed".

In the end, though Erickson thinks this a wise move that will preserve the integrity of RedState, it's just another example of how the Tea-Baggers are being destroyed by their own and outed as the most fringe of wingnuts and with diminishing political foothold.

They're All Out To Get You!

Actually, Carrie Prejean is more than likely going to be better off, in terms of a career, now that she isn't Miss California anymore. She's certainly getting her Fox"News"-bitter-anchor-woman schtick down.

Paging Rupert Murdock....

DETHRONED!!!!!

Here's something that Ms. Prejean isn't considering or is just flatly ignoring - this is a Donald Trump business. He's not going to fuck around and go to bat for you and then allow you to trot around in your tiara and sash over at Fox anytime you feel like it. He's not going to put up with it, period.

But this isn't about how Trump runs his business. This is all about Carrie Prejean, "victim".

So let's hope that we can hear from the Special Olympics, these unnamed "hospitals", these people that Carrie seemed to have to call on her own. Surely Miss California has a press agent to do these things for her. And after all these alleged calls that she had to make on her own and she can't even call Donald Trump or Mr. Lewis, the director of the Miss California pagent?

Was she really that distressed over being fired or is she just ready to ride this train as far as it will take her?
