Conservatives cringed when Gingrich and Perry launched their anti-“vulture capitalist” attacks on Romney during the GOP primary, knowing Romney’s opponents were drafting a general election blueprint for Obama. With much of the oppo research already done, Team Obama can’t get enough of Bain Capital-based attacks.
Today, the Left is gleefully using Newt Gingrich’s Monday appearance on Piers Morgan’s show as evidence that Bain attacks are fair game.
"I think there are things you can legitimately look into at Bain Capital." — Newt Gingrich, 5/21/12
— ThinkProgress (@thinkprogress) May 22, 2012
Bain developments are now more like a WWE soap opera angle now. Gingrich turns on Romney, again, and Booker goes rogue.
— Now Media News (@NowMediaScott) May 22, 2012
SURROGATEFAIL RT @jimacostacnn: Gingrich on Piers: "I think there are things you can legitimately look into at Bain Capital."
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) May 22, 2012
See, you have a Cory Booker-style turncoat too, righties! Disunity in the Republican ranks!
Sigh. In actuality, Gingrich’s point was this:
@dankennedy_nu I actually think that"s exactly what he meant, yes.
— Rick Klein (@rickklein) May 22, 2012
@jmartpolitico @rickklein I think Newt"s point was: He tried Bain attacks & they didn"t work; Obama didn"t go to school on Newt"s putt.
— Rich Galen (@richgalen) May 22, 2012
Obama should trade Booker for Gingrich MT @jimacostacnn Gingrich: "I think there are things you can legitimately look into at Bain Capital."

Seems the Obama camp is getting the same toxic response Gingrich/Perry did when it come to Bain Capitol all I can do is ROFLMFAO
— Steven Bravo (@the_str) May 22, 2012
But the fact remains that Gingrich and Perry did smooth the path for Obama, and as conservatives predicted, their words are coming back to haunt them:
As much as I like Newt, his dumb attacks on Bain Capital gave Obama scuzballs like David Axelrod an opening. http://t.co/OSkovr5h #tcot
— Matthew Vadum (@vadum) May 22, 2012
Democratic super PAC Priorities USA wasted no time in putting out a video reminder of how Romney’s opponents went after him on Bain.

— Michael Falcone (@michaelpfalcone) May 22, 2012
So Gingrich’s concern trolling on Bain is going to be about as effective as his primary campaign. Some of his other points in the interview were more on target:
How can you be the president with the worst unemployment record since the Great Depression — the longest period of deep unemployment since the 1930s, and pick a fight over job creation?
Stick to that, Newt.

From CBS Washington:
Perhaps it’s safe to note that Barack Obama has been less popular than “Mad Men” since 2008, the year each took powerful positions in the American psyche. Regardless, the two — previously unconnected — are mashed together in a video produced by the Chris Matthews Show in anticipation of the drama’s season five premiere.
Titled “Chief Exec,” the video is a recreation of Mad Men’s opening credits and features the president standing in a disintegrating Oval Office before falling through the air of Rockefeller Plaza while advertisements visualizing his GOP rivals and most threatening domestic issues race past.
Will Rabbe, a producer with The Chris Matthews Show, said both Matthews and the crew are big fans of Mad Men and wanted to commemorate the premiere in an original way. He credits colleague Rodney Turner with the video’s closeness to the show’s original opening

How dare anyone call Barack Obama lazy? Why, that’s racist!
WALTERS: What’s the trait you most deplore in yourself and the trait you most deplore in others?
BARACK OBAMA: Laziness.
WALTERS: You’re lazy?
BARACK OBAMA: You know, it’s interesting. There is a deep down, underneath all of the work I do, I think there’s a laziness in me. I mean, it’s probably from growing up in Hawaii. It’s sunny outside, sitting on the beach.
And questioning Obama’s intelligence? That’s racist too! Everyone knows, you’re only allowed to question the intelligence of Republicans.

We do. And Rep. Gowdy’s statement at the IRS hearing Thursday afternoon is truly a must-see.
http://twitter.com/#!/SouthernPol/status/342687482242023424
It was incredibly powerful. Watch and see for yourself, but be sure to have some tissues handy:
Passionate and fierce. Rep. Gowdy (R-S.C.) spoke for all Americans. Rep. Gowdy spoke For the Women in the real way, not the Obama way. Rep. Gowdy cares for the most vulnerable in the real way. Rep. Gowdy delivered a boom-worthy statement blasting the IRS that will be, and should be, remembered for a long time to come. Everyone in America needs to see this indeed.

And listen to the end of the video (h/t @MelissaTweets.) “She’s a tough old broad” is heard and then someone off camera says “tough old bitch.”
More than wildly inappropriate.
But that doesn’t matter to Leftist thugs and union goons. She was asking for it, you see. That “uppity” woman won’t keep her mouth shut and all. Scratch a Leftist and you will find not only a misogynist, but a racist.
The garbage they spew at Governor Haley is a prime example and has now moved from words to violent action. As a conservative woman, she has been subjected to revolting garbage over and over. And as a woman of color, it is even worse. Funny how it is only the Left who sees her as “a woman of color.” Conservatives see her as a strong leader who just happens to be a woman, a wife, a mother and a fantastic governor.
South Carolina’s Democrat chair Dick Harpootlian has likened her to “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” — silly woman! Get back in the kitchen. And recently, a South Carolina Democrat disgustingly called her a “Sikh Jesus.”

Will Governor Haley get a presidential phone call from President Obama? A beating in effigy is worse than being called a bad name, isn’t it? Nah, of course she won’t. She’s not the “right kind” of woman. Plus, President Obama is aligned with and fully supports these union thugs and their sweet, sweet campaign money.
New tone? No, same old Leftist tone: misogyny, racism and violence.

There was no chance that Bill Cunningham was going to lose a debate with Tamara Holder over Attorney General Eric Holder’s integrity, but for a minute there tonight it looked like he might lose a finger. It would have been an especially tragic loss, considering the two were fighting over whether Eric Holder was lying when he accused Fox News reporter James Rosen of being a co-conspirator in an espionage case, or whether he just made a mistake.
http://twitter.com/#!/seanhannity/status/347887516126441472
We all know that Eric Holder is corrupt, a point handily summed up by Cunningham in one epic smack-down, so that left four minutes to fill with some righteous name-calling and a couple of threats.

As Twitchy reported, this past Wednesday, cable news pundit Mona Eltahawy took issue with an anti-jihad poster in a New York City subway station. Disgusted by a pro-Israel group’s expression of free speech, spray-painted the poster — and the woman trying to defend it — in the name of … free speech. Eltahawy was joined by other proud vandals whose warped interpretation of the First Amendment led them to believe that their speech should be prized above everyone else’s.
Today, Eltahawy appeared on CNN international to defend her indefensible act. To her, the vandalism wasn’t really vandalism at all; it was a righteous act. Gee, no wonder the Muslim Brotherhood took such a shine to her.
Activist Mona Eltahawy on subway vandalism: "I wanted freedom of expression on top of freedom of expression."

Eltahawy branded her actions as peaceful and nonviolent:

— Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) September 28, 2012
Peaceful? Sure, Mona. Try telling that to Pamela Hall, the woman you shoved and spray-painted.
Mona Eltahawy to CNN Int"l: Subway vandalism stunt wasn"t to raise media profile, "I don"t need to raise my media profile."
— Matthew Keys (@MatthewKeysLive) September 28, 2012
Eltahawy retweeted messages from a drooling supporter who played fast and loose with moral equivalency:
@MomMilkshake @monaeltahawy If ad read "In the war b/w the savage black man & the civilized man, support the KKK," would it hv been posted?
— Sulome Anderson (@SulomeAnderson) September 28, 2012
@MomMilkshake @monaeltahawy Hate speech is considered socially unacceptable in this country unless its directed at Muslims.That is alarming.
— Sulome Anderson (@SulomeAnderson) September 28, 2012
Clearly this woman has been living in a bubble.
@MomMilkshake @monaeltahawy I believe the word I"m referring to is "savage." Racists love to play with semantics.
— Sulome Anderson (@SulomeAnderson) September 28, 2012
Or spray paint, perhaps.
Eltahawy finally pinpointed exactly what it is that has her critics so upset: jealousy. And racism, natch:
Gotta laugh at "Mona looking 4 fame" peeps-interesting bedfellows:right wing racist shits & sour,bitter people who wish had done what I did
— Mona Eltahawy (@monaeltahawy) September 28, 2012

Eltahawy doubled down on her nonviolence garbage:
.@melissagira @zephoria Committing crime & violence 2 diff things for me. I consider my misdemeanor an act if non-violent civil disobedience
— Mona Eltahawy (@monaeltahawy) September 28, 2012

If you ever find yourself looking for a cup of coffee and Wi-Fi in the small and peaceful Valley City, North Dakota, and you happen to walk into The Vault, you’ll immediately notice something very different about this coffee shop. You see there are no employees there, as The Vault is a self-serve cafe that runs entirely on the honor system. According to owner David Brekke, people are actually adding 15% on average to the market value prices of the teas and coffees, proving that people at least in this small city are inherently good and honest.
If this would ever work in bigger cities or places is of course the question, but nonetheless, this small city coffee shop is certainly unique! Source: Aaron Boerner / KVRR Share this very different coffee shop with your friends below, and show them that people are inherently good.

At the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary in Thailand a recently rescued elephant named Faa Mai was given an elastic ribbon to play with. You might not think that elephants (or animals in general) have feelings. When you see what little Faa Mai did, it will keep you smiling for hours…!

Elephants are extremely intelligent and sensitive animals. An elephant’s brain is actually similar to a humans, in complexity and in structure. Just by watching Faa Mai play with a ribbon, I know that I’m completely convinced of their emotional range.

MSNBC’s Touré used the word “racist” and “racism” quite a bit in a monologue today, but this time he was defending a person against the allegation instead of throwing it at somebody.
Touré, who can find a racist around any corner for almost any reason as long as that person subscribes to the “wrong” kind of politics, continued his defense of Stephen Colbert and “white allies” like him:

Colbert’s critics just don’t understand satire, you guys!
Besides Colbert, the other person Touré cited as an “acceptable” racial satirist was Sarah Silverman, who also just happens to be a liberal.

From the look on his face, it doesn’t appear that President Obama is buying his own remarks.
We can’t say for sure what the bureaucrats flanking Obama at his NSA dog-and-pony show are thinking. Perhaps they’re just ready for lunch … or they’re reciting an internal chant of “Don’t laugh at POTUS. DON’T LAUGH AT POTUS.”

We all want someone to share or lives with, but for whatever reason, doing the same with a bug doesn’t have the same appeal. Perhaps because sharing your life with another person involves sleeping in the same bed. Sharing your life with a bug means having it live inside of your body. It may not have the same annoying family members that you have to deal with during the holidays, but even the worst mother-in-law wouldn’t think of crawling inside of your ear.
The people in the (extremely graphic) pictures below had to deal with various bugs living inside of their persons and, well, it isn’t pretty.
WARNING: If you’re even the least bit squeamish, this simply isn’t for you.
Well, that’s horrifying. It’s time to go bathe in bug spray, if only for the peace of mind.

Actually, what Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said during his 2013 State of the State address today was, “Let me be clear. Freedom is not a handgun on the hip of every teacher.”

That’s right. Kevin Sorbo does not toe the Hollyweird leftist line. The “Hercules” actor was on “Fox & Friends” this morning. Fellow actor Ricky Schroder tweeted about meeting him in the Fox hallways.

Actor Kevin Sorbo today on Fox & Friends said, “Hollywood liberals preach tolerance, but they are the MOST INTOLLERANT people I know.”

Boom! To the video tape:
Awesome. Sorbo first talked about how he has always been a Christian, and he praised Rev. Billy Graham.
Hercules is a Christian? Kevin Sorbo was just on Fox and Friends talking about his experience at age 13 at a Billy Graham Crusade.
— Linda Marie Lovison (@lilo623) March 4, 2013
Sorbo is featured in “Billy Graham and Me,” the latest from “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series.
He then went on to blast Hollywood hypocrisy, by rightly explaining that they preach tolerance, but are probably “the most intolerant people you will ever meet.” Bingo! It’s always tolerance for thee, but not for me. Diversity of thought? Need not apply.

That’s a good thing, though; Schultz says he lobbied for the gig, as it will give him more time to spend among The People™ where he belongs.

King Douche is a real tough guy. All man, this one. Enveloped in a cloud of smug, he bravely rolled up on a young lady at Chick-fil-A to demand free water and berate her about gay marriage.
But that wasn’t enough.
This tolerance thug was so proud of his jerktastic performance that he recorded it and put it up on YouTube. Intentionally.

Vante, a medical supplies manufacturer, reportedly released this statement just a short while ago:
Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith’s actions against Vante and its employees.
Investors Business Daily, Business Insider, MSNBC, and other outlets are reporting Smith’s firing as well, so the Market Wire statement appears to be true.
He"s still listed as CFO here: http://t.co/hM3KCK0E

Vante’s website has been down intermittently — King Douche has really piqued the public’s interest in Vante’s services — so it’s possible that they’re updating their staff information. We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, Cuffé makes an interesting observation:
Adam Smith works/worked for a catheter company. So, you know: total dick.

Listen, Adam. Now that you’re quite possibly unemployed, maybe you should give Chick-fil-A a call. We hear you’re a big fan of their free water.
