| On 29 May 2012, the New York Times published a remarkable 6,000-word story on its front page about what it termed President Obama's "kill list". It detailed the president's personal role in deciding which individuals will end up being targeted for assassination by the CIA based on Obama's secret, unchecked decree that they are "terrorists" and deserve to die. (Snip) But Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic Congresswoman from Florida and the Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, does not know about any of this. She has never heard of any of it. She has managed to remain

Rats abandoning ship. When (not if) Romney becomes president, the Democratic Party will be in ashes laid at the feet of this colossally stupid woman, Barack Obama, David Axelrod, and all the Chicago thugs that think national politics is the same as protesting in the 'hood.

Intellect is NOT her long suit. She certainly gives every indication of actually being that stupid.
The only explanation for her political existance is the ever present stupid vote. The number of displaced New Yaawk voters in Florida who reflexively pull the Dumbocrat lever may be larger than most think.

Lying has become a huge contagion in left wing politics. Going on shows like on MSNBC allows you to lie at will and not get called on it.So because these people get approval from the dishonest media,they think they get away with it for everybody.
It's funny and sad at the same time that Obama can say PP gives free mammograms and thousands of women call only find out it's just another Obama lie or actually he "misspoke".
The MSM is still working to bury the Benghazi story,despite tons of objective evidence to the contrary.Obviously this is to help Obama make it through the foreign policy debate next week.
The left was very happy at onetime that Romney was the candidate because they thought everybody hated rich people and Mormons as much as they do.Now they're digging up desperate last minute attacks on Bain again.To borrow a word for GW,the left misunderestimated how good Romney was on his feet.

These people who support her are mindless or they are just dyed in the wool liberals who don't see that they are also in Obama's bulls-eye. Where is John Galt?

Jimmie Carter obsessed over the White House tennis court schedules. I guess neither one of them wanted to do the WORK of President...they preferred BEING president.

Dumb Debbie was a member of the florida legislature, and received alot of attention from the mainstream media meatheads, as she ranted and raved about the recount... She was nutty then, and is nutty now. The only democrat woman who is nuttier is Stephanie Cutter.

DWS is not ignorant. Well, she is, but that's not what makes her lie. She has no reason to speak the truth. She knows that the Ob@$tard Knee Pad Media will back her up and cover for her.
When is the last time anyone from the 0KPM called her hand? When is the last time anyone from the 0KPM pointed out the lies?
As long as the 0b@$tard Knee Pad Media is in power, and make no mistake, they are in power, she will draw her last breath lying her head off.

Saw Debbie on TV just now. She is too old for the Shirley Temple hair.
She repeated the lie about Iraq. It was GW that gave a time line for US to exit. It had nothing to do with Zippy's decision.
The liberals have taken everything Mitt should say about Zippy and twisted it around. His voters don't know the difference.

I made the mistake of watching CBS This Morning. I was an 0bama commercial. They delivered their "oh so serious" lines in their best alarming deep voices. They fact-checked Romney but not 0bama. David Corn was a resource. What a pantload. I hope the 0bama campaign reported this as a contribution in kind. There was literally NO balance.

Agreeing with #4, #5 and others who say she is a liar. It was obvious from the beginning of his reign, that 0bama was surrounding himself with yes-men who were willing and eager to lie for him. Not a particularly small group in the Dem party, but a personality that is unsettling to watch. Rahm epitomizes that personality. DWS is just not "good" at it.

Of course she's a liar. But, she's also got some kind of emotional and mental problem where she is incapable of ever admitting an error or acknowledging the truth. Her eyes are very far apart and crossed, reminiscent of the kid in Deliverance. She's like a wind up toy that drones on and on in a monotone without saying anything remotely grounded in reality. Obama appointed her as chairman of the DNC. She's ...been... an.... Epic.... Fail. Lik all things Obama. Thursday , it was reported that DWS had steered the DNC to 20 million in debt with only 4.6 million cash on hand. Reince Priebus announced that the RNC has 82.6 million cash on hand and will spend every penny of it in the next 16 days , including the important GOTV. Way to go Debbie !

#4 - that's the plight of the leftist radicals (with their own media!) in the land comparatively free. They lie, media covers the lies, but we, normal, commonsensical people, get our info on the internet and a little bit on FOX. Still, the leftist freaks make stupid faces, toothy grins and other wry faces to respond to accusations of untruths. Unfortunately big chunk of the Americans don't have time and smarts to dig for the info. And I believe one of the most important, if not the most important things, winning repubics need to do, is building new conservative mainstream media.

Until the last few days I had heard very little if anything from DWS for the last month or so. I thought either the admin had told her to make ineffective/counterproductive self scare for awhile, or the media stopped taking her seriously. Or maybe her spiel is so nutty they kept her on the most loyal outlets like MSDNC. Apparently because of the relative paucity of any Obama spokesmen, they had called an all hands on deck for the last couple weeks of this campaign, so even she is back.

Victoria Toensing, Republican Counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, says her client, a State Department official now considered a whistle-blower in the investigation of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, has been "threatened" by Obama administration officials. According to Toensing, these threats weren´t related to ambiguous matters. Rather, they were "specifically about Benghazi." She says the threats went beyond the four State Department officials who´ve currently retained counsel. "People have been threatened at the CIA" as well, she claimed.

The debate is raging over whether the latest immigration bill is an amnesty for illegal immigrants, but one part is clear: The legislation would forgive businesses that have employed those immigrants illegally. Employers who have allowed illegal immigrants to work off the books can come forward safely and provide their work history without fear of prosecution, and businesses that knowingly employed someone using a bogus or stolen Social Security number likewise would get a pass, according to an analysis of the bill by the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that wants a crackdown on immigration.

Greeley, Colo.—Two billboards in which images of Native Americans are used to make a gun rights argument are causing a stir with some residents who say the image is offensive and insensitive. The billboards in this northern Colorado city show three men dressed in traditional Native American attire and the words "Turn in your arms. The government will take care of you." Matt Wells, an account executive with Lamar Advertising in Denver, said Monday a group of local residents purchased the space. "They have asked to remain anonymous," he said.

Judge Jeanine Pirro: In New York Harbor stands a mighty woman with a torch, beckoning the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and the wretched refuse from tempest tossed shores to her as she lifts her lamp beside the golden door. And they were by all accounts just that -- a family fleeing a tyrannical government. A family seeking political asylum. The very people to whom that mighty woman holds out her welcoming torch.

The Senate’s complex immigration bill would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for several years before the arrival of a replacement system. “There’s no doubt that the bill eliminates E-Verify immediately upon signing,” said Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas, told The Daily Caller. “If there’s no statutory authority for E-Verify, there’s no E-Verify,” said Kobach, (snip) The claim is vehemently disputed by the bills’ advocates, including staffers working for Sen. Marco Rubio. However, Rubio staffers were unable to show TheDC

Congressional leaders in both parties are engaged in high-level, confidential talks about exempting lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides from the insurance exchanges they are mandated to join as part of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, sources in both parties said. The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides. Discussions have stretched out for

In the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, we are suffering through the inevitable period of liberal hand-wringing. Liberals can’t help themselves: while normal people are reviling the bombers, celebrating their capture or death, and debating measures that can be taken to prevent future atrocities, liberals’ thinking (if you can call it that) goes in a different direction. Liberals call for understanding; tell the rest of us we don’t realize how complex mass murder is; recommend introspection (But why? I didn’t do it.); and warn against various forms of overreaction to the latest terrorist outrage. The reality of evil, a

Donations toward buying Watertown hero David Henneberry a new boat are already pouring in from around the country. The 66-year-old man who came face-to-face with suspected Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev hiding inside his boat is the man credited for ending a nightmarish manhunt for the most wanted man in America. The after effect was a sacrifice, however, of a dangerous shootout that tore through his backyard, riddling countless holes in his boat that neighbors would describe as his ´baby.´ ´That boat´s his baby. He takes care of it like you wouldn´t believe. And they told him it´s all shot up,´

Deh Rawud, Afghanistan — The splash of colors in Deh Rawud begins a few hundred yards from the sidewalls of Forward Operating Base Hadrian and stretches for miles.

Eradicating the poppy crop is a perpetual battle in Afghanistan. It is up to Afghan security forces to carry out eradication efforts, but they may have incentive not to.

Georgetown — Former Williamson County District Attorney Ken Anderson was arrested and booked into jail and then released on bail Friday after a specially convened court found that he intentionally hid evidence to secure Michael Morton’s 1987 conviction for murder. In a blunt and scathing ruling, District Judge Louis Sturns said Anderson acted to defraud the trial court and Morton’s defense lawyers, resulting in an innocent man serving almost 25 years in prison. “This court cannot think of a more intentionally harmful act than a prosecutor’s conscious choice to hide mitigating evidence so as to create an uneven playing field

As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents rarely speak off-the-cuff, and their every word is carefully chosen for exactly the message the White House wants to convey to the public. Their graduation speeches, like all presidential addresses, go through many drafts and are reviewed by high-level administration officials

The White House on Wednesday stood by its story that the Obama administration remained unsure exactly who was responsible for the attack on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi nearly five days after it occurred even though new revelations show Ansar al-Sharia’s direct involvement. Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya and a self-described whistleblower, testified before a Congressional committee Wednesday that the body of Ambassador J. Christpher Stevens was missing for hours during the attack after being dragged out of the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the document were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensive edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

She weathered Whitewater. She made it past Monica ?Lewinsky. Now Hillary Clinton is hoping to beat the rap on Benghazi and make it to the White House. The Clinton political machine is in full campaign mode already, preparing for 2016 and hoping voters forget by then that she had a key role in the Obama administration’s handling of the terror attack. But that’s becoming more difficult as the GOP appears to be laying the groundwork for tying Clinton to Benghazi and making sure it stays front and center in the next campaign.Some of the testimony from State Department whistleblowers

Fans of Glenn Beck are complaining about what I wrote yesterday about his speech at the National Rifle Association convention, where he used a giant image of Michael Bloomberg photoshopped into what appeared to be an image of Hitler with his arm raised in a Nazi salute and wearing an armband. The Beck crowd now tells me that it wasn’t Hitler’s picture into which the New York mayor was transposed but that of Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. They say that means I owe Beck an apology along with the Anti-Defamation League and others who were also outraged by it.

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington.

A Catholic priest presided over a service Thursday to give proper names to the 45 babies whose bodies were found in the West Philadelphia abortion clinic of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. He is charged with killing five people - a patient and four viable babies that prosecutors say were born alive. He has also been charged with performing late-term abortions that violate Pennsylvania’s 24-week limit on the procedure. “People have names, people deserve names. The name expresses the person. The name recognizes that there is a person there.” said Father Frank Pavone during the

Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia has written House Speaker John Boehner, requesting the creation of a bipartisan Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terror debacle. It is an excellent idea. A Select Committee is the only means available now for the U.S. political system to extricate itself from the labyrinth called Benghazi. There have been two fulcrum events in the accounting of what happened in Benghazi. The first was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice´s September 16 declarations on TV that Benghazi was part of the Islamic world´s violent, spontaneous reaction to the incendiary California YouTube video.
