Video: Unhinged Whack Job Exhibits Whackjobiness at Tea Party

This guy would be perfect in a clown suit. At a Chicago Tea Party, this protester shows up with a sign rooted in sheer brilliance. It said, 'The Tea Party Sucks.' At practically every turn, his response to every inquiry regarding his position involves a curse word or the middle finger. Perhaps that's because he has a terribly difficult time explaining his position. On why he doesn't like Sarah Palin, all he can say is, 'Come on.' On why he thinks the Tea Party 'sucks,' he says because they're a bunch of 'A$$holes.' The best example of this is when the cameraman asks the protester why he's calling him names. The response? 'Because you're a stupid Tea Party idiot.'

The best part of this clip comes at the very end so stick with it.

Video: Hannity Interview with Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison

Sean Hannity interviewed Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) on his television show. To his credit, Hannity challenged Ellison, one of only two Muslim congressmen, on several points. At one point, Hannity asked Ellison about radical Islamists being at war with America and Ellison lumped all 'terrorists' into the same pot, including abortion clinic murderers. That's pathetic when the disparity between the number of radical Islamists and abortion clinic murderers are tallied. Ellison also used the same talking points that the Muslim Brotherhood uses when having to demonstrate to westerners they're well-intentioned; he targets al-Qaeda.

Hannity didn't appear to catch that and didn't ask Ellison about his ties to CAIR or Hamas. Such questioning, if rooted in a premise that al-Qaeda, Hamas, and CAIR are all part of the Muslim Brotherhood would have really put Ellison in a box. That said, it's worth watching. It gets contentious at several points and Hannity did a good job overall.

CBS Runs Interference for Obama, Edits 'Open Mic' Comments

This 'open mic' incident in which Obama was heard talking candidly with donors in Chicago after the press had left just got a bit more interesting. The two minutes of audio released by CBS was certainly embarrassing for Obama but it didn't go much beyond exposing a level of arrogance most everyone knows he has. It's now been learned that CBS heavily edited the recording before they released it, which appears to mean what was left out is far more damaging than what was left in.

The job of CBS White House Correspondent Mark Knoller is basically to follow Obama's every move when possible and report on it. He is the one credited with releasing the two minute recording but there was much more. John Romano of Yes, But, However! tweeted Knoller multiple times, asking him why the full tape hadn't been released. Knoller finally did respond.

After several tweets by Yes, But, However! to Mr. Knoller as to why the full tape hasn’t been made public, he responded: “My editors decided against it.” Mr. Knoller offered no further explanation.

This certainly carries echoes of 2008, when the Los Angeles Times would not release video of Obama at a party with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian with ties to the PLO.

Here is the audio that WAS released by CBS.
