However, we don’t make the Orwellian connection; instead, we just go for it and directly compare Schumer to Stalin. No, Schumer is not a mass murderer, but his ideology is connected by a long chain that runs through Stalin’s Russia all the way back to 1848 Germany.

All of this reinforces something we said just about a year ago in The stinking blossom of the totalitarian left.

At least we have given up the Hildabeast to a State that is far worthier. Now that Spitzer is catching up with Blago.

NewsBusters.org – Exposing Liberal Media Bias

Bloggers have caught a politician saying one thing in a speech, while carrying a very different rendering of a critical passage at a supposed "transcript" of that speech.
The difference is signif…

More often it’s retreat and expunge.

On the bright side, it’s a great opportunity for true bi-partisanship.

That’s funny. It’s amazing that this practice of retreating and expunging is allowed. Talk about a lack of accountability.

Not sure there’s any bright side!

What? Dems and Repubs, rising above politics, working together to serve their constituents own agendas?

Of course there’s a bright side. but don’t take my word for it, just ask any politician engaged in the practice. I’d suggest Ted Kennedy any Saturday after midnite.
In Vino Veritas baby!

Schumer starts the mem-holing, which the GOP will let them get away with….

It has always been the rule that Senators and Congressmen can add, subtract, and otherwise change everything and anything that is said on the floor when the transcript in the Congressional Record is prepared.

I’ve heard this canard so many times, by lefty trolls. Now I have to listen to it from a Senator?

If you don’t agree with the Harry Reids and Chucky Schumers, that it’s a total disaster, then you are, “painting a rosy picture.”

What about nuance, Chucky? You anti-war jerks keep telling conservatives that we see everything in black and white.

What about you? Where is the grey, Chucky?

Two possibilities: either Schumer delivered the line as prepared and is now trying to rewrite the speech after the fact to hide the evidence or else the transcript reflects the version that was prepared for delivery and Schumer reworked the line on the floor to make it more damning of the military.

This has been going on for as long as I can remember. Most of these chowder heads still haven’t figured out that they’re living in a new world and “down the memory hole” doesn’t work anymore. They can amend the record all they want, but sites like YouTube will preserve the truth for all to see.

I’d say it was Schumer’s macaca moment but, oh, wait – he’s a Democrat. Nothing to see here, move along, folks.

Chuck Chuck.

One of the two GREAT Senators from New York!

Please don’t remind me that I have to wake up with these 2 Senators representing me.

For Senator Schumer to say that “the soldiers inability to protect the villagers” is so vile. I am embarassed for this country that he is a member of the Senate

Things are changing and quickly. I grew up in Illinois. It used to be a purple state with Senators from each party and with state government, although primarily controlled by Democrats at the legislative level, at least sharing the governor’s office and other elected executive offices with the Republicans. That’s no longer the case as downstate Illinois lacks voting power over the Chicago area monolith. A corrupt Democratic governor was overwhelmingly re-elected last year. This is another case where a Dem US Attorney, Fitzgerald, doggedly pursued a former Republican governor for corruption, but when faced with a Dem governor, backed off when he got too close. Obama is tied up with our mobbed up State Treasurer and another Chicago area criminal who do his fundraising. It’s reported and yet no one seems to care nor does anyone investigate. Unfortuantely it’s not just Illinois tht’s a changin’. Republicans are in the process of losing Arizona, Colorado, and other states that were fairly reliable. The NE Republicans are gone.

I just don’t see how Republicans can ever regain control at the federal level for the forseeable future. It won’t surprise me if they also lose the Presidency for generations. Even Rassmussen has the Dems rated above the Repubs in all categories except defense and they only trail by a few points there. I’m dubious that campaigning will turn this around, but who knows.

When you pack that many people in a “Human Antbed” like New York City, the inhabitants loose touch with the rest of the country living in more open spaces.

I don’t trust any New York City politician. More government control, more gun control, less personal responsibilty. Living in an ant mound will do it to ya.
