WHOOPI GOLDBERG: The battle for same sex marriage continues. And one of the movement’s motto’s is “gay is the new black.” At least that’s what some people are saying. That’s what’s on the cover of “The Advocate” this week. And some people don’t agree with comparing this to black suffrage. I don’t even know if I understand what that word is, suffrage, but I’ll leave it alone, black suffrage.

SHERRI SHEPHERD: I guess it’s when black people had to, you know, they didn’t want to die for being black. They didn’t want to be lynched. They wanted to be able to walk through the front door. They wanted to, you know, you had Jim Crow laws that said you could only, you can not do certain things if you were black.

Suffrage means “the right to vote”, not “feel pain or distress”, Sherri and Whoopi. The latter is the definition of suffer.

I love when liberals think they have a monopoly on intellectual superiority. They often prove themselves as idiots.

UPDATE 1: Not to be outdone, Michelle Malkin writes that Joy Behar dissed students who partake in home schooling.

No surprise there.

Let’s start with Zogby’s numbers. The poll surveyed over 500 self-professed Obama voters and has an MOE of 4.4%, with 55% having a college degree and over 90% having a high-school diploma. It asked 12 multiple-choice questions; only 2.4% got at least 11 correct. Only .5% got all them correct.

* 57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
* 81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
* 82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
* 88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
* 56.1 % could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet…..

* Only 13.7% failed to identify Palin as the person their party spent $150,000 in clothes on
* Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
* And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Honestly, I found this video yesterday but I have not seen it yet.

I am sure the video confirms one of my original reasons for re-launching Scoop This: Liberals are stupid.

Yes, because America does not have a history of giving a shit about the world, or curing the world, or saving and rescuing the world.

Stupid liberal idiot.

Okay, it’s probably a small thing to quibble about, but does everybody remember the impressive county-by-county election map that the New York Times published after the 2004 election, showing the United States as a sea of Republican red, with a few Democratic blue counties clustered on the coasts and a few urban pockets?

Well, today’s New York Times has a large map of the U.S. showing county-by-county election results as a sea of Democratic blue, with red areas limited to a few southern states, Arizona and Alaska. It looks like a Democratic landslide.

But Barack Obama did not actually win states like Utah, Montana, Idaho, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, South Carolina, etc., that this map shows as mostly or totally blue. What the New York Times published this year is a map showing the shift in a county’s vote from 2004, not the results. So if a Republican county voted for Bush by 12 points in 2004, but only gave McCain a seven-point advantage this year, the Times paints it as blue, not red.

The Washington Post has a county-by-county results map that looks a lot like the map from 2004, although there is clearly a little more blue this year and the red is a little lighter.

There’s no disputing that Obama won on Tuesday, but the big blue map published by New York Times seems like a way to overstate the magnitude of the Democratic victory — maybe just to give liberals a nice blue souvenir to hang on their office cubicles, or maybe a subliminal way of pushing the idea of a huge mandate for liberal government.

I think this is a large thing to quibble about. I know Florida voted for Barack Obama, and it is “blue”, but internally, Florida is “red”.

Liberals forgot to vote for Democrats across the state of Florida this past Tuesday. They just voted for Obama, turned in their ballot, and left. The majority of Florida is still very much Conservative and has many local city and county Republican governments. Plus, the state government is Republican.

I am sure the same is true for several states that voted “blue”, but are really “red”.

Now, it is good.

Business and Media

What’s in your wallet? Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean would like to know.

Dean and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan were speakers at a luncheon at the National Press Club Nov. 5, where both reflected on what went right and wrong with their efforts during the 2008 election cycle.

Dean revealed his party used credit card data to predict voting outcomes. However, Democrats and the media have been highly critical of credit card companies that provide that data.

“We now can do what they can do,” Dean said. “We have your credit card data like they do. They’ve been for years doing something that we, until 2006, weren’t able to do. We can predict with 85 percent accuracy how you’re going to vote based on your credit card data without bothering to see what party you’re in – the Secretary of State’s office.”

“They’ve been doing it for a long time,” Dean said of Republicans. “No wonder we’ve been throwing rocks at the bottom of the well. These guys – we can argue about how well they run the country, but they certainly know how to run elections.”

Dean’s admission that his party is using credit card data in elections is curious because a plank in the Democratic Party’s 2008 platform vows to regulate that very instrument through a “Credit Card Bill of Rights”…

Howard Dean and the Democratic Party are hailing the same Data Mining technique that President Bush wanted to use in order to stop terrorism, but the Democrats cried about “privacy rights” for terrorists.

For Democrats, unfortunately, they put their liberal party first before their own country.

GOP Election Board members have been have been tossed out of polling stations in more than half a dozen polling stations in Philadelphia because of their party status.

A liberal judge previously ruled that court-appointed Republican poll watchers could be removed from their boards by an on-site election judge, citing their “minority” status as cause.

It is the duty of election board workers to monitor and guard the integrity of the voting process.

Those on site as describing it as “pandemonium” and there may be video coming of the chaos.

Some of the precincts where Republicans have been removed are: the 44th Ward, 12th and 13th divisions; 6th Ward, 12th division; 32nd Ward, Division 28.

“Election board officials guard the legitimacy of the election process and the idea that Republicans are being intimidated and banned for partisan purposes does not allow for an honest and open election process,” said McCain-Palin spokesman Ben Porritt in a statement to Townhall.

The City of Brotherly Love was roiled in controversy during the 2004 election because of rigged voting machines that showed nearly 2,000 votes for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry before the polls had opened. A man also used a gun to intimidate poll workers at Ward 30, division 11 in 2004.

Another revolution in Philadelphia?

I bet this will cause a few fistfights. Perhaps even a murder, because, of course, this is Philadelphia.

UPDATE 1: JammieWearingFool has the video.

There are tons of problems in Philadelphia, especially voter intimidation:

Fox News is now reporting Black Panthers, once carrying a nightstick, is blocking media and poll worker access. Lovely.

Maybe those Black Panthers are auditioning for Obama’s Civilian Defense Force.

The police wre forced to come and remove the thug.

Is this Iraq or Philadelphia?

UPDATE 2: Michelle Malkin confirms this story.

Looks like the New Black Panther Party sent out party members to make sure their “interests” are met.

The idiots at the Daily Kos are spreading a rumor that someone at a Sarah Palin rally in Des Moines, Iowa yelled that Barack Obama is a “nigger”. Sorry, but that is not true. Someone yelled that Barack Obama is a “redistributor” at the Sarah Palin rally, meaning that he will take your hard earned money and give it to someone else. Michelle Malkin’s reader, Pam, says:

I attended the Sarah Palin rally in Des Moines, IA on Saturday 10/25 and I videotaped the whole thing. Well, just tonight, I found a video on YouTube that is called “N-word shouted at Palin Rally” and it is a clip from that rally. The part they are showing, I clearly remember, but I thought the person yelled out “redistributor” instead of “he’s a n-word”, so I went back and watched my own videotape.

SURPRISE! What the person actually said was “and stickin’ together” and it was in response to what Sarah Palin was talking about, which had nothing to do with Obama at the time.

I posted several responses on the YouTube site that they are dead wrong, but of course, no one believes me. It already has a ton of hits and I feel so bad that they are saying that Sarah heard it and didn’t respond. She didn’t respond because IT WASN’T SAID!! It is late at night here, but I called the McCain headquarters and left a message and sent an email.

This is the video that is being misrepresented on You Tube:

And this video confirms that the woman yelled “redistributor”:

A least one person at the Daily Kos is not much of an idiot, and confirms that the word yelled really is “redistributor”:

THE LADY WAS SHOUTING “REDISTRIBUTOR”. Period, end of story, let’s move on.

For an entire day, a well-meaning, false, yet highly recommended diary has claimed that the woman was actually shouting “and he’s a nigger!”

I don’t blame the diarist. But we should have known better.

Of course a false Daily Kos entry is “well-meaning”.

And yes, Daily Kos members should have known better.

This is just another liberal idiot lie.

Another reason to vote for the McCain-Palin ticket: John McCain will not appoint liberal activist judges to the Supreme Court. As the Judicial Confirmation Network ad suggests, a liberal-controlled Supreme Court will affect the following key issues, and thus hampering America’s freedom and traditions. The issues include:

“Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Same-Sex Marriage.

Partial-Birth Abortion.

Taxpayer-Funded Abortion.

Protecting Our Homes. (Such as being able to use our guns against would-be robbers.)

The Ten Commandments.

Expanding Rights For Terrorists. (As in the terrorists being held in Guantanamo Bay.)

The ad further explains that it takes just one vote. The ad is right. One vote by a liberal activist judge could destroy America as we know it to be. If Barack Obama is elected, and he appoints liberal activist judges, the rulings these judges hand down would have reverberating negative effects for decades. America will be judged and ruled under a shroud of liberalism.

This is a frightening perspective on the possible events to come, and it is not even Halloween yet.

Halloween display aims for ’shock value’

Democratic backer sends message by showing McCain, in KKK robe, chasing Obama

CATHARINE — Ron Havens has a reputation for provocative Halloween displays that reflect his strong political views.

But even Havens was pretty sure his latest effort was over the top. That didn’t stop him from setting it up in plain sight anyway.

Havens, who lives on Schuyler County Route 15 (Ridge Road) just south of Odessa, this week set up a Halloween display featuring mannequins that look like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican rival John McCain.

But the Obama figure looks like he is running, and the McCain likeness is dressed in the hooded robe of the Ku Klux Klan and is carrying a baseball bat.

Havens is quick to point out he is a liberal and a big supporter of Obama, and that the scene is meant to provoke thought about the way he believes Obama has been unfairly treated by the McCain campaign.

“I figured it would be equally offensive to everyone. It’s just for shock value,” Havens said. “McCain has been rabble-rousing, calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim. The McCain campaign has gotten so ugly. That’s what the message is. I can see how people could take this the wrong way. I’m not advocating anything. It’s sarcasm.”

The McCain campaign has not called Barack Obama a terrorist, nor a Muslim. However, Barack Obama’s connection to domestic terrorist Bill Ayers should be questioned. Bill Ayers is not just a terrorist, but an unapologetic Socialist, and has influenced Barack Obama for at least 15 years, if not, longer. If John McCain was Bill Ayers friend, McCain would not even be the nominee at the moment.

Ron Havens says that he is just advocating sarcasm. However, Havens is advocating stupidity. It is funny how stupidity and liberalism are synonymous with one another. Nevertheless, liberals, seeing as they have no intellect, nor a viable plan on how to win on any important issue, must resort to implementing the race card. Perhaps the election on November 4th is not a formality or a coronation after all.

The editor of this video is right.

The majority of New Yorkers would be more welcoming and friendly towards the terrorists that attacked them (and us) on September 11, 2001 than towards real American patriots.

I believe these same liberal New Yorkers would “boo” and spew bile towards the American military that are currently fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Liberals, you are not peaceful. Liberals, you are not loving. Liberals, you are all filled with hate and rage. Perhaps such vitriol will lead towards untimely heart attacks and strokes for all of you.

You do not have to say it. I know many of you wish the same for me.
