2008 VIDEO: O'DONNELL SAID OBAMA 'ANTI-AMERICAN'

This video is certain to pick up steam in the coming weeks. While appearing on the Fox News Channel in 2008, O'Donnell was opposite a Democrat during a debate segment. When asked who she thought the Republican nominee would have a better chance of defeating in the general - Obama or Hillary - O'Donnell said she would rather face Obama because he's 'so Anti-American'. The Democrat opposite her was beside herself over the charge.

Uh, O'Donnell was right. Via Weaselzippers:

VIDEO: THE OTHER MAJOR TEA PARTY VICTORY

As the Tea Party celebrates the victory of Christine O'Donnell over RINO Mike Castle in Delaware, it's also rallying behind the man who beat Rick Lazio in New York for the Republican nomination for Governor. Both ran powerful ads on their opposition to the Ground Zero mosque. Lazio's focused on the Democrat nominee Andrew Cuomo, as Attorney General being unwilling to investigate the Imam or the funding despite countless red flags. The ad was powerful but Paladino focused on how he was going to prevent the mosque - by using eminent domain laws.

Not sure if this played into Paladino's landslide victory against Lazio but I thought it was a nice distinction. Interestingly, the number is now 71% of New Yorkers oppose the mosque. Paladino is with that majority. Conversely, Cuomo continues to treat that 71% the same way Obama treated the majority of Americans who opposed his health care legislation.

HERE is Paladino's website and Ground Zero mosque ad:



Here is Lazio's ad, which Paladino can still use in his campaign against Cuomo as it's very good too.

VIDEO: KARL ROVE'S MASK SLIPS, REVEALS CONFLICTED INTERESTS

The Tea Party rages while Karl Rove is letting his mask slip, revealing a more devout Republican establishment operative in Rove than perhaps most had previously thought. Last night, when it became apparent that Delaware conservative Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell, Rove offered not one word of congratulations. Instead, he derided her character and continue the politics of personal destruction against the person who won his party's nomination for his party the Senate seat.

Rove actually attacked O'Donnell for taking nearly "two decades" to pay back her college loans. For the record, yours truly is working on three decades paying mine back.



The next morning, O'Donnell appeared on Good Morning America and addressed Rove's comments on Hannity, saying that he had to eat some "humble pie".



Now we have word that Rove may have overreached in his attack of O'Donnell. It is being reported that behind the scenes, he was actively working to cut a "deal" that would get the Tea Party to withdraw its support for O'Donnell. Via the Freedomist:

Sources at the Christine O’Donnell victory party revealed to The Freedomist that in December of last year Karl Rove met with Tea Party leaders in Dover, Delaware trying to get them to cut a “deal” in which they would leave Mike Castle alone and NOT support O’Donnell.

The Freedomist has also learned that Rove was allegedly acting as an operative, although in what capacity it is not known, even as he is playing the role of a political analyst on Fox New in a fair and balanced way.

I sense an "X" factor in the works. Karl Rove is literally despised by the left and has been for years. Will O'Donnell's likability among Democrats increase as her victory in particular, and the Tea Party victories in general pit the Tea Party against establishment operatives like Rove?
