There’s an old saying I just made up: “Don’t judge the message by the messenger. Judge the message on its actual content.” When I first heard that saying (about two minutes ago), it came to me as I was watching the youtube videos of Glenn Beck’s announcement at “The Villages” here in Florida... The Wrong People Are Winning Because We Let ThemThe wrong people have been “winning” in this country for too long. But, it’s primarily because those of us who know what’s right have been too comfortable in our barcaloungers and designer fashions to stand up and confront them....

Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) lays it on the line: [see video] He doesn’t care what his constituents want, he’s going to toe the Democrat line, even if it means he loses his job in 2010. That said, I have to admire Sen. Bennet; at least he has the courage of his (party’s) convictions, and is willing to say so, with no ambiguity or equivocation. Asked a direct yes-or-no question, he simply answers “No.” We could wish for that same simplicity from the rest of our elected officials...

That Nene Anegasaki, she's a charmer. She's also a video game character from extreme dating sim Love Plus, now wedded to a flesh and blood gamer. The two were married when a man brought his DS along with a copy of Love Plus to a church in Guam. There's no word on honeymoon plans, but the two will be holding a small reception for family, close friends and the internet on November 22nd. (Seriously, there will be a webcam and stuff.) It just goes to show, the power of Woman has no bounds. Stick her in a digital fortress,...

Police in Hazelwood are told they'll have to get a subpoena to obtain surveillance video of a school bus beating that occurred Friday afternoon. The bus was taking students home from Hazelwood West High School when a 14 year old boy allegedly punched a 15 year old girl in the head, repeatedly. The girl's mother tells me that the bus driver stopped the bus and told the boy to get off. A friend called the girl's mother and told her what was happening. Mom met the bus at a stop near her home, then called police. The girl was swollen...

At the height of the protests following Iran's controversial presidential election this summer, a young woman named Neda Agha Soltan was shot and killed on the streets of Tehran. Her death -- filmed on a camera phone, then uploaded to the Web -- quickly became an international outrage, and Soltan became the face of a powerful movement that threatened the hard-line government's hold on power. In A Death in Tehran, FRONTLINE revisits the events of last summer, shedding new light on Neda's life and death and the movement she helped inspire. In response to the international outcry over Neda's death...

I can’t begin to imagine how hard it would be to leave my family for months at a time, especially if my destination were Iraq or Afghanistan. And I don’t know how I could deal with my wife being deployed overseas. These reunion videos—for me, at least—shed a tiny beam of light on how emotionally draining being a military family can be. They’ll also make you want a dog. To commemorate Veterans Day, here are some overjoyed dogs greeting returning soldiers.

There are lots of good ones out there. Scott put up Reagan's speech, of course. Clyde had Sen. McConnell's tribute to the event (video added). Hot Air has a few good ones, all of which are worth a few minutes. But this is the one that got me. Freedom-loving people the world over, and especially our allies who were liberated from the yoke of Communist tyranny, are celebrating the triumph of good over evil. So ask yourself as you watch it, what the hell is wrong with Barack Obama?

The Obama Do Nothing skit Video continues to be true of the Obama presidency. SHAW

A new video of Jeremiah Wright has surfaced, showing Barack Obama's pastor of 20 years praising Marxism and discussing his ties to communists in El Salvador and Nicaragua and the Libyan government. Equally important, Wright is being introduced in the video by Robert W. McChesney, co-founder of Free Press, an organization which has come under scrutiny for its links to the Obama Administration and dedication to the transformation and control of the private media in the U.S. In an article in the socialist Monthly Review, "Journalism, Democracy, and Class Struggle," McChesney declared, "Our job is to make media reform part...

Female dancer video circulating in N. Korea: defector SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- A video clip showing female dancers in skimpy costumes performing to American music is being secretly circulated in North Korea via CD-ROMs, a North Korean defector said Monday. The video, obtained by Yonhap News Agency from the defector, who requested anonymity, would not be considered obscene elsewhere in the world. But revealing outfits and American music are both considered taboo in the conservative North. In the clip, several groups of four women in crop-tops and thigh-length shorts or skirts dance to fast disco music on a brightly-lit...

A Democratic fundraising video on President Obama's political Web site shows an American flag mural being covered in graffiti and desecrated with slogans about health care reform. As a heart monitor beeps ominously in the background, a graffiti artist paints over the Stars and Stripes with phrases criticizing opposition to the Democratic legislation, including "profit over life" and the crossed-out words "death panel." The whole flag is eventually smeared with paint and blacked out. One of 20 finalists in the Democratic National Committee's "Health Reform Video Challenge," the video shows the Los Angeles-based graffiti artist "Saber" at work, according to...

VIDEO: Communist Keith Olbermann, a member of Obama's "mainstream media" at MSNBC, repeated White House propaganda so accurately that you would think he lifted the words from Obama's beloved teleprompter. Olbermann, who's so far left that even the state-run MSNBC fired him from election coverage last year, lashed out in a grotesque display of journalism butchery against the Tea Party Express II, on October 22nd.

VIDEO: Another ACORN "Pimp and Prostitution" video, this time from Philadelphia, has been released by BigGovernment.com, an Andrew Breitbart website, starring the dynamic due of James O'Keefe, and Hannah Giles.

This is the music at the end of the promo from the couple who posed as pimp and prostitute. After watching the promo, I had to look for the music. The singer/musician is Anthony Dini. I kind of liked it....

More out-ed communists in the Obama administration. Video at link.

I'm not sure if this is actually FROM the ACLU, but it is a wonderful video about the future of Obamacare, and well worth watching. (If it truly is from the ACLU, it's ONE thing on which we can agree with them).Funny..........but not really......if you know what I mean. LINK

(IsraelNN.com) The IDF on Tuesday released video footage of Hizbullah terrorists smuggling missiles and other weaponry out of a warehouse where an explosion occurred Monday in the southern Lebanese town of Tayir Filsay. Lebanese Army soldiers and troops from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) raced to the scene, but terrorists had emptied the warehouse by the time they arrived - a secret activity caught on camera by IDF military intelligence

My Senator is one of those people voting 'aye.' I voted for that person last year but I'm sure as hell not going to next election. Is this debacle actually going to effect things in 2010 & 2012 or is the Dems control growing too fast to stop by then.

Rapper Hi Caliber, who performed at the Taxpayer March on Washington, just came out with a new rap about the March. This should be the protest movement's anthem going forward.

There is lots of good stuff in here, but one comment he makes near the end really captures what drives the libs nuts about him. First, he knows the left has no sense of humor when it comes to politics. They literally cannot take a joke if it is about one of their guys. So when he says he switches from penetrating analysis to satire in an instant, the satire part is like waving shiny objects in front of liberals' faces; they become so distracted by the satire that they never bother to analyze his underlying argument. And it is...

If the world was stunned to learn that President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, it will be even more amazed by all the other awards that are still coming his way.

A late-night disagreement between two men in a bar becomes a stare-down. One side throws fists, and a brief brawl breaks out. Customers scatter. Tables are overturned. Friends on the sidelines straighten their postures and walk tough. Others grab their coats and head for the door. Some physical commotion is not uncommon at evening establishments where alcohol is served. But it's what happened next on Thursday evening inside the Route 66 Kitchen in West Toledo that has unsettled some Toledoans. With surveillance cameras rolling, several figures pulled out handguns and engaged in a shootout that raged inside and outside the...

See the video below of the Saturday Night Live (SNL) skit mocking President Obama, fresh off the surprising announcement that he'd received the Nobel Peace Prize. The announcement was met by "shock and awe" by both the Right and Left of the political persuasion.

VIDEO: Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) scolded President Obama today for his tepid response to the numerous ACORN scandals, saying, “The President still has failed to come out and distance himself from ACORN. And also he hasn’t come out and said yes, he believes that we need to defund them.”

At least somebody on the left gets it.

TMZ has learned an arrest has been made in the Erin Andrews Peeping Tom case -- the one in which the ESPN reporter was secretly videotaped walking around naked in various hotel rooms. We're told 48-year-old Michael David Barrett was arrested at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Chicago for interstate stalking. The videotapes surfaced in July. The six clips showed Erin walking around two different hotel rooms in the nude, and were shot with a peephole camera. It was virtually impossible to tell when or where the videos were shot. Someone tried to sell the clips to TMZ, but we...

I hate to waste a vanity, but I'm just curious to see if I'm alone here, or if my sentiments are shared. I'm seeing more and more links to videos as news sources. I know that I can read several magnitudes faster than I can watch someone speak, so I find it particularly bothersome and never actually watch the video. It's just too slow.

Coming right off his infamous “Deny the Holocaust/Death to Israel” tour, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also known as Monkeyman, and the lovable Mullahs o f Iran have finished their “War Games.” ["Bomb, Bomb Iran" video]

Papa Possum needs readers for three different video projects. Pieces to read available at his blog. 1) People who disagree with the current administration are needed to read for, "Now In The Center Ring" 2) People who disagree with the current administration, dislike the way The Democrats treat the military, and who are US combat vets are needed to read for, "Old Sun Tzu" 3) People who disagree with the current administration and who have at one time lived under communism are needed to read for, "Marx The Angry Munchkin" If you are interested, FReepmail Papa Possum

LOS ANGELES - Much of America discovered James O'Keefe III and Hannah Giles through their hidden-camera, make-believe pimp and prostitute videos of ACORN employees giving advice about establishing a brothel with underage hookers. But as far back as 2006 — well before the videos became a national sensation and conservative rallying cry — the fresh-faced O'Keefe and Giles connected with a pair of Washington conservative institutions that boast programs training ideological journalists. Now, due to coordinated promotion of the undercover sting footage by influential players in the conservative media, Giles and O'Keefe have gone from part of the pack to...
