VIDEO: VICK TORTURED DOGS BECAUSE OF SLAVERY

Who would have guessed that the most ridiculous statement of the year would have come in the last week of the year? Whether you term this line of reasoning spin, rationalization, or sheer insanity, it comes with a strong dose of steroids. The argument is even put forth by someone who carries the title of 'professor.' Her name is Melissa Harris-Perry this is from a segment with a guest host on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show. Perry's argument - I think - is that Michael Vick should be cut some proverbial slack because in the days of slavery, dogs were used against blacks and there is still resentment toward them.

She even references the 1960's when police under Bull Connor would use dogs against blacks during times of civil unrest. At some point, Vick is going to become a hero of the left and conservatives are going to be blamed for how his dogs were tortured.

One small problem. Bull Connor was a Democrat.

VIDEO: KATIE COURIC BRAINSTORM - MUSLIM VERSION OF 'COSBY SHOW'

Thank goodness Katie Couric was wearing a pair of glasses intended to make her look so intelligent when she put forth her idea about how to assuage the misguided views of so many Americans when it comes to the 1.5 Billion Muslims that our populace allegedly shares 'seething hatred' for. Her idea? A Muslim version of the Cosby Show because the 1980's series did so much to heal racial division in this country. Also, take note of her guest, Mo Rocha who quite blatantly admits: 'I know nothing about Islam.'

Wouldn't you love to know how much Katie knows about it? Contrast her idea that involves a sit-com and Rocha's admission that he's ignorant on the subject with how the Mainstream media in general portrays experts on Islam who have been sounding alarm bells for years - people like Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes, Walid Shoebat, and so many others. In the eyes of Couric and the uneducated left, those people represent a cross-section of Americans who are inexplicably bigoted.

There will come a day when Couric and all the others in the media who hold similar views will be completely exposed for what they are - Truthphobes.

2012 RINO HUNT: THE LIST IS OUT

One of the more prominent Tea Party groups has already begun laying the groundwork for 2012 before the winners of the 2010 election are even sworn in. There are five Republican (RINO) Senators up for re-election in 2012 that the Tea Party Nation has deemed to be primary primary targets. Of all five, the most disappointing one is Scott Brown of Massachusetts. He's not a career politician. He was swept into office by riding a wave of Tea Party anger and it didn't take him long to stab his voters in the back. Less than a year ago, there was discussion about how presidential he'd be. Such talk now would justifiably be met with derisive laughter. Lugar is the most egregious RINO and has been in office since 1977 - far too long.

Via RTT News:

A prominent Tea Party group sent a message to members on Monday identifying five current Republican Senators that they intend to target in 2012.

Tea Party Nation named Sens. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., as Republicans that need to be sent into retirement, accusing them of being Republicans In Name Only, or RINOs.

The message cited Lugar's vote against a ban on earmarks as well as a his votes in favor of the DREAM Act and the START Treaty. Hatch was also criticized for being a "pork king" and a co-sponsor of the DREAM Act, which would have provided a path to citizenship for certain young illegal immigrants.

Remember those names. Much of the frustration conservative Americans are feeling right now is directly attributable to these five individuals. Again, Brown is the most blatant disgrace but RINOs, in general, are more disgraceful than Democrats who tell you who they are.
