OCTOBER 2ND: MARXIST ANSWER TO GLENN BECK RALLY

The good news might just be that the left is truly unmasking itself with this event. The August 28th rally at the Lincoln Memorial definitely got under the skin of the freedom-haters. Rarely do you see these groups openly aligning with each other. It's definitely not their preferred course of action because it exposes their deceitful agenda(s). They usually prefer to operate separately. The event scheduled for October 2nd in Washington, D.C. seems to indicate they're pulling out all the stops to match Beck's rally.

Cliff Kincaid has more at USA Survival:

Michael McPhearson, one of the key organizers of the event and former executive director of Veterans for Peace, tells us, “I’m not all that concerned if you’re a Republican, Democrat, or Marxist or Communist whatever,” he said. “I just want us to work together to make our country better. That’s what I look at – not if you’re a socialist.”

Questioned on the involvement of communist groups, McPhearson shot back, “What is radical? We are trying to bring everybody together under one tent. In the United States everybody has a voice and speaks their opinion.” He said the Tea Party has its own share of controversial people.

Hmmmm. The Tea Party makes no bones about who it allows within its ranks. Socialists, Communists, Marxists, and racists are all out. The overwhelming majority of people at Tea Parties engaged in racist behavior are infiltraitors sympathetic to causes like that of McPhearson. He's "not concerned" if attendees are "communist."

That should be obvious when you take a look at the groups and individuals scheduled to be in attendance.

In addition to USAction, the official “partners” of the October 2 rally include the AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), National Council of La Raza, the Campus Progress affiliate of the Center for American Progress, Green for All (the Van Jones group), the American Federation of Teachers, Pax Christi, Rainbow Push, Color of Change, United for Peace and Justice, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, AFSCME, Queers for Economic Justice, and ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).

One of the leaders of the event identifies herself as a "Democratic strategist" and was the CEO for the 2008 Democratic National Convention:

The “national campaign manager” of the October 2 demonstration is Reverend Leah Daughtry, described on her web site as is “a nationally recognized teacher, preacher, speaker, organizer, leader, and Democratic strategist.” Her work for the Democratic Party includes serving as Chief Executive Officer of the 2008 Democratic National Convention Committee and Chief of Staff of the Democratic National Committee.

I think it's quite safe to say that the Democratic Party has officially been eaten by enemies of our Constitutional Republic.

Read it all.

VIDEO: THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE MONEY COMES FROM

What can one possibly say to set this up? The video starts out with an un-hinged moonbat yelling, "Raise my taxes". Either the moonbat is a complete and utter moron, she has no idea where money comes from, or she's living vicariously through others whose taxes she wants raised. Regardless of what option you choose, she's certifiable.

Don't stop watching there because the hits just keep coming. For example, the woman in the purple shirt with the yellow vest says she's for an increase in revenue which is why she supports taxes......for business owners who make more than she does, as a business owner. This individual is then asked how she got to the event - the question was actually geared toward who funded the trip. The answer? We got here on a Greyhound bus.

Priceless - no pun intended. These people literally - no, I mean literally - have no idea where money comes from.

John Cornyn Gets Earful from Voters

h/t to Michelle Malkin for providing a link to the video of Texas Senator John Cornyn speaking at the Texas Capital on July 4th.

For those familiar with my show, I have been extremely critical of John Cornyn on a few fronts (his voting for TARP and his position on Sonia Sotomayor among them). Voters are so fed up with their politicians not listening to them and they may have walked away mad after John Cornyn was done talking but they weren't mad because he wasn't listening....

Oh, he heard them loud and clear.... Keep watching after the crowd dies down during Cornyn's paying tribute to the military. After he's done doing that and goes on to chastise Washington as almost a non-participatory observer, one protestor yells, "You're the PROBLEM!"



On March 26th, during an interview with Lynn Woolley Cornyn said he voted for TARP because he didn't understand enough about the issue and relied on advisors who told him Hank Paulson was the "smartest man on the planet". Like in the above video where Cornyn points a finger at Washington, D.C. when there were four pointing back at him, during the Woolley interview, he said Paulson "was wrong" without accepting blame himself.

My point then was that Cornyn apparently thought Paulson was smarter than his constituents because he chose to listen to the former as the latter told him overwhelmingly NOT to vote for TARP.

I'd like to ask a question of Mr. Cornyn...

How does it feel knowing that your constituents are smarter than the "smartest man on the planet"?
