Video: Liz Cheney praises righty blogs, tears into Obama at Red State conference
posted at 7:42 pm on August 3, 2009 by Allahpundit
Verrry shrewd positioning here by LC, ingratiating herself with the rightroots ahead of a possible congressional run. She was always going to do well with online donations given her grassroots popularity, but the more she courts bloggers the greater the odds that she’ll be the first Republican in a House race to make big bank on Internet contributions. Not that the daughter of Dick Cheney really needs small-money donors, but every bit helps. Watch the first half of the first clip for her pep talk to bloggers and the whole second clip for her attack on The One’s funny little habit of making kissyface with cretins just to prove how un-Bush he is. Sorry that it cuts out at the end of the last clip. Just passing along what I have.
Exit question: Is it time for a Hot Air conference? All we need is (a) a reason to hold it, (b) a few high-profile conservatives whom we haven’t alienated (yet) to speak, and (c) many thousands of dollars in spare cash.

Na, it isnt that bad. Just make damned sure you follow the laws regarding defending yourself and for God’s sake never point your gun at a cop unless you have a 100 percent valid reason or a death wish.

Are you referring to Rush’s “oddballs” remark?
jgapinoy on August 3, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Missed it… more likely caused it…. :P
doriangrey on August 3, 2009 at 8:34 PM
How does the law allow you to defend yourself if you’re prevented from carrying a weapon?
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 8:35 PM
It’s time for Liz Cheney to run for office, now! She is a conservative needed in congress/senate in 2010.
jencab on August 3, 2009 at 8:36 PM
I don’t carry here. Almost impossible to get a carry permit in CA.
guntotinglibertarian on August 3, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Wow, who would think of doing something like that?
Americannodash on August 3, 2009 at 8:37 PM
I’m so proud………
…….. brings a tear to my eye.
Seven Percent Solution on August 3, 2009 at 8:38 PM
Liz Cheney was perfect in her comparison of Reagan at the Berlin Wall, with Obama’s approach to Iran. That was devastating.
And her approach to opposing Obama is also very thoughtful and a wonderful representation of the best of American politics.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 8:40 PM
You are not prevented, it’s harder if you live in a metro area, but not that difficult in the rural area’s.
doriangrey on August 3, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Yet another reason I couldn’t live there.
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Yes! Just remember that Miss McCain isn’t a conservative.
SouthernGent on August 3, 2009 at 8:45 PM
How can she run for congress/senate though? Where? If she’s even making preliminary rounds, we would know it by now. Isn’t it too late to announce?
promachus on August 3, 2009 at 8:46 PM
LOL!
eforhan on August 3, 2009 at 8:46 PM
But just think how big the cake would have to be in order to enable her to jump out.
thomasaur on August 3, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I can try to arrange for a posse of hot nuns to protect you. No touching, though, or those paws of yours will be getting the ruler.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Blah…
upinak on August 3, 2009 at 8:52 PM
The most unattractive speaker podiums EVAH.
i always hate(d) using Hyatt-supplied podiums for events.
This pic shows why. Atrocious visuals, but not really a big problem compared to the threat of Chupacabras running wild in the streets or robots stealing medicine from old people.
Mike D. on August 3, 2009 at 8:52 PM
Don’t you worry – I’ll be Kevin Costner to your Whitney Houston, sir.
Proud Rino on August 3, 2009 at 8:52 PM
One day LC Voice will be echoing the halls of congress, where she will help navigate the Country back to *Less Government-Less Taxes-and Peace through Strength.*
hawkman on August 3, 2009 at 8:54 PM
You don’t like Liz Cheney?
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 8:57 PM
This sucks.
The Constitution only allows the Cuda to have one VP. How can we get Rubio, Petraeus, and Liz on the ticket with Sarah?
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 8:59 PM
I would also like to see you booked. I don’t care what the charges are. I know you’re guilty of something.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:03 PM
maybe it is the fact that I am kind of tired of the BS from supposed right thinking people.. who turn left at a moments notice.
upinak on August 3, 2009 at 9:03 PM
No more begging girls to buy you a phone?
Mr. Big.
Stephen M on August 3, 2009 at 9:04 PM
It’s becoming less and less so every year as more and more people head towards the collective.
toliver on August 3, 2009 at 9:05 PM
HotAir conference would be way cool. Where would we hold it?
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:07 PM
Somewhere the Lefties would fear to tread . . . maybe an Evangelical church, or a VFW?
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 9:09 PM
Just have Michelle show up. Heck it’s her site so it would save money. Related-party transaction.
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM
Wasilla, AK
LOL! AP would resign. :)
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:10 PM
I am pretty sure I can turn her.
daesleeper on August 3, 2009 at 9:11 PM
Sorry. I’m not following. Did I miss something? I know I can do that. So, has Liz Cheney turned Left on something? What?
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Liz Cheney, the BLONDE CUDA.
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:12 PM
Any place flying a U.S. flag nearby; it gives them hives.
Bishop on August 3, 2009 at 9:13 PM
Thank God for this new generation of female conservatives–Cheney, Palin, Bachmann.
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 9:15 PM
Maybe have the convention next door to a gun show.
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 9:16 PM
San Marcos here….howdy, neighbor. And….did you win the contest with your son?
Patrick S on August 3, 2009 at 9:18 PM
I’d prefer Hershey, Pennsylvania, but given the amount of drunk posting, I suggest Milwaukee as the biggest lure.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:19 PM
so AllahP is a tall, attractive black woman? Who knew? It just goes to show how you can be anyone you want to pretend to be on the InterWeb.
Red State State of Mind on August 3, 2009 at 9:24 PM
pre-designated Czaresses?
Red State State of Mind on August 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Oh come on…. Southern California is the obvious choice….
doriangrey on August 3, 2009 at 9:26 PM
Speak for yourself… I haven’t participated in alienating any conservatives…
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:27 PM
ROTFLMAO….. I have suspected this for years…. ;P
doriangrey on August 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Denver, the Boss is calling Colorado home these days and it’s got a United hub at DIA.
thomasaur on August 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
Location: AP’s mother’s basement?
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
The GOP has a lock on attractive married women with LARGE LITTERS.
I just can’t leave the GOP. I’m sorry people. I think big families are a good thing.
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:28 PM
How about we hold the HA conference outside the country?
Maybe….Kenya hunting safari?
:)
Sapwolf on August 3, 2009 at 9:30 PM
I’m with you. We just had child #3. And when we stop having our own, we’ll probably start adopting.
jazz_piano on August 3, 2009 at 9:30 PM
SarahCuda/Darth Liz Cheney/2012:)

canopfor on August 3, 2009 at 9:32 PM
Wolverine huh?
That’s not what I pictured AP as…
I thought he was part of a cat family.
Upstater85 on August 3, 2009 at 9:34 PM
We could have a bake sale!
Obama cupcakes
Clunker pies (Lemon only and you need a voucher to pay for them)
Churchill Chocolate Statues candy-on-a-stick (wrapped in boxes marked “Return to Sender”
I am sure this could be expanded on…
JellyToast on August 3, 2009 at 9:36 PM
That would be nice. They produce beer and wine. No chocolate freebies, though.
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:36 PM
Chicago Deep-Wish Pizza?
Red State State of Mind on August 3, 2009 at 9:37 PM
H/A conference suggestion sites!
Hawaii,Kini`s huge back yard!
Texas,Limericks vast barbecue pit!
Tampico,Illinois!
canopfor on August 3, 2009 at 9:40 PM

Liz Cheney is a solid, knowledgeable, savvy, gifted politician. Do the scorched earth left leave Liz Cheney alone because they think she’s no threat because of her last name? One can hope.
Liz Cheney remarkably flies loop-de-loops, somehow avoiding the Dem attack machine radar, but is a stunningly bright star for the Republican Party …and a force to be reckoned with.
Go Liz.
marybel on August 3, 2009 at 9:57 PM
That is sooooooooo funny.
betsyz on August 3, 2009 at 10:04 PM
He’ll probably be wearing a bag over his head!
Zorro on August 3, 2009 at 10:12 PM
What state does Liz Cheney live in? She needs to run for office ASAP.
therightwinger on August 3, 2009 at 10:18 PM
I would luv to attend HACON @ this location

macncheez on August 3, 2009 at 10:20 PM
maybe hotair right now is too trendy – get a grip guys you have the audience@!
Michelle you rocked the View today had no time to post but
I think HotAir can be the next biggest and brightest Media Matters.
ORGANIZE
Oh how I hope.
seesalrun on August 3, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Hey, if there’s a HA conference in the NY metro area, and you can get Ace to go, I’d totally be there.
meep on August 3, 2009 at 10:33 PM
The first woman POTUS. Is 2012 too early for her? She would be like Obama, except with lots more experience and brains, starting to run for president even as she would be taking her seat in Congress. She has really got it, though, in spades. The next Maggie Thatcher.

Huh?
Saltysam on August 4, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Every time I hear that woman speak, I calm down and know we can win he future.
Saltysam on August 4, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Just home and saw this Allah hope-n-dream about a HotAirHead conference.
Please, for the love of God, don’t do it. Whatever town we have it in won’t have enough blood in the blood banks. There will be winos, DINOs, and RINOs plastered on walls and blocking what is left of the doorways.
Limerick on August 4, 2009 at 12:23 AM
As long as it prevents us from throwing things at each other, you will serve a purpose.

Liz Cheney is superb. I truly respect and admire this woman, this person, this lady, this American.
Lourdes on August 4, 2009 at 2:30 AM
I tell everyone it’s a gun. Because it is. Anyone who asks, anyway.
Lourdes on August 4, 2009 at 2:44 AM
Yes, well said, both of you. I truly admire Liz Cheney, immensely enjoy listening to her speak.
Lourdes on August 4, 2009 at 2:45 AM
I guess that rules out Mitt, Palin, Pawlenty and McCain.
Can Haley Barbour draw a crowd?
BacaDog on August 4, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Allahpundit in a dunk tank. $5 per chance to dunk. Michelle could buy a Bentley.
amerpundit on August 3, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Got me to thinking…given what we think we know of her, if Michelle Malkin had unlimited funds, what kind of car (new or classic) would she buy? (My guess: Bugatti Veyron – smoking hot horsepower)
Extra points to add guesses for AP (AMC Pacer with hybrid conversion) and Ed Morrissey (Lincoln Town Car).
SKYFOX on August 4, 2009 at 10:55 AM
Sorry I went O/T there. Big thumbs up for Liz Cheney.
SKYFOX on August 4, 2009 at 10:57 AM
SKYFOX on August 4, 2009 at 10:55 AM
AP was talking about wanting a ‘vette earlier, and everybody knows in beta-male speak that means Chevette.
cs89 on August 4, 2009 at 11:45 AM
Liz Cheney: America is conservative!
Err, except for the fact that the less-conservative party is winning all the elections lately. By Cheney’s standards, what would a liberal America look like? Every congressional seat held by a Democrat? Obama getting literally every vote cast in the election? Satisfaction with Republicans going down to 0%? I mean, yeah, the conservative party in America could do worse, but it’s doing really badly. Calling this a conservative nation at this point is to ignore basic facts.
Liz Cheney: Obama is such a weakling with foreign enemies!
Wait, I thought the conservative attack was that Obama was a Hitler/Stalin overlord dictator who uses rough Chicago-style politicking to get everything he wants. But now he’s supposedly rolling over with no fight. A little consistency please?
I mean, if you want to pick one of these ludicrous positions – hey, fine, go for it. But to try to defend both of them just makes you look utterly ridiculous.
Enjoy being a 20% party!
orange on August 4, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Or, to use pretty pictures instead of words, check out your conservative America, Ms. Cheney.
(from here)
orange on August 4, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Loxodonta on August 3, 2009 at 9:12 PM
She’s a little sore that Liz is part of Team Mitt. That’s the only explanation I can think of. Liz has done nothing to tarnish her conservative credentials that I’m aware of.
thecountofincognito on August 4, 2009 at 1:12 PM
Are you really that stupid? You can’t distinguish between political arm twisting he’s doing domestically and the way he drops his pants overseas? Bow down to the Saudi king; licking some Islamic butt in Egypt ring a bell? You’re conflating 2 distinct issues. It’s not Liz Cheney’s fault you’re a moron.
Enjoy running the country into the ground, douche.
