VIDEO: ANTI-CELEBRITY ALVIN GREENE ON CNN

Democratic nominee for Senate in South Carolina against Jim DeMint is this fine young fellow named Alvin Greene. After getting thoroughly trounced by none other than Keith Olbermann, Greene is then interviewed by Don Lemon on CNN. Is it me or can you feel the collective liberal media jaw dropping every time this guy Greene opens his mouth.

Even the leftwing media doesn't know what to do about him. First of all, they can't believe he won. Then they ponder the fact that he represents the party they're in the tank for and lastly, they seem to becoming increasingly agitated that Greene won't drop out. Greene appears to be getting increasingly agitated that he keeps being asked to do so.

That said, I don't blame the Democratic establishment - to include the MSM - for being embarrassed by this guy winning the nomination. A lesser man would be embarrassed for them.

Watch as Don Lemon is practially apoplectic at Greene's answers.

VIDEO: LIBERAL RABBI RE-EVALUATING POSITION

I am literally fascinated when I see someone make a strong ideological change. Frankly, I'm almost equally fascinated that liberals don't do more of it. I went through a similar shift when Bruce Springsteen came out of the closet as a hardcore liberal in support of John Kerry. I used to be one of his biggest fans. After 2004, I can't even stand to hear any of his songs.

The Rabbi who shot video of Helen Thomas telling Jews to "get the hell out of Palestine" appears to be going through a similar process. Watch as he tells CNN's Howard Kurtz that he basically needs to re-evaluate his entire belief system. In this video, Rabbi David Nesenoff admits to being a New York liberal who voted for Obama. He then goes on to say he's re-evaluating his positions.

It's not an easy thing to do when you've invested so much of your energy building a set of beliefs and ideological views that are all called into question at once.

Going through this process with sincere intellectual honesty is quite liberating once you come out on the other side.

OBAMA'S ANTI-BRITISH BIAS?

One of the first things Obama's Administration did after the inauguration was return a bust of Winston Churchill that had been loaned to the White House after 9/11. Only a couple of months earlier - December of 2008 - the London Times reported that Obama's paternal grandfather was allegedly tortured by the British in Kenya. At the time, Kenya was a British colony.

Via the London Times:

Barack Obama’s grandfather was imprisoned and brutally tortured by the British during the violent struggle for Kenyan independence, according to the Kenyan family of the US President-elect.

Hussein Onyango Obama, Mr Obama’s paternal grandfather, became involved in the Kenyan independence movement while working as a cook for a British army officer after the war. He was arrested in 1949 and jailed for two years in a high-security prison where, according to his family, he was subjected to horrific violence to extract information about the growing insurgency.

The Times now has an article that references the allegation about Obama's grandfather. It can be inferred that many are wondering if Obama is demonstrating an anti-British bias in his dealings with BP that dates back to when his grandfather was imprisoned.

BARACK OBAMA yesterday told David Cameron that his aggressive stance towards BP over the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster was not motivated by anti-British prejudice.

Is this really all that much of a stretch? Not only has Barack Obama visibly demonstrated at best, a disdain for Great Britain by shipping that Churchill bust back to them, but he's currently in a situation where he appears to be looking for as many scapegoats as possible when it comes to this oil disaster. We may be getting to the truth about why Obama doesn't want to meet with BP Executive Tony Hayward.

Lastly, the very fact that both sides appear to be downplaying the notion that there is resentment toward Great Britain on the part of Obama quite likely could mean there is some.
