Whatever happened to ole’ Michael Graham? WMAL went on a slacker movement for a while and I lost track. Chris Plante is ok for a while. I liked Chris Core but he’s bit too liberal for my taste now. That DHS really got my dander up, being an old retired sailor and all. Cleaned all my guns and bought a new Bible.

Hot Air's 250,000 crap estimate becomes the accepted number. Why? Why? Why? They should have to run a correction.

They picked a number that deliberately understated the attendance of events by as much as 80% for events like Houston and 50% low for Cincinnati. Each number in this proverbial list was off by wild amounts low and 500 to 700 of the tea parties were completely left out of the number.

Why isn't a big name calling them out? I am used to MSM deliberately distorting but why would Hot Air be the source for such?

Founding Bloggers has exclusive video of Roesgen that was taken when she was not on air with CNN. Interesting.

Better yet, ask her to move all of her money from her purse to MY pocket, and I’ll agree to give her half back. Shouldn’t she be grateful for that money she was just ‘given’?

Can’t speak for DHS ~ I used to know a few Government operatives at NSA and FBI on the ground floor they were pretty good folks ~ I heard a local law enforcement officer call in on an AM show and say that he and his colleagues thought this report was ludicrous and that they had no plans to waste their time investigating Joe Sixpack.

That doesn’t make it any less stupid or outrageous. I think it does create an opportunity where they may use such tactics to harrass “normal” people after all of the Obamabots are in place.

Could be that maybe the memo may be a means of “building down future expectations” so that we won’t be scandalized by such nonesense in the future, when Obama youth are in full flower. I’d hate to give our boy Barry that kind of credit for think so far in advance (persronally, I don’t think he’s that smart), but the theory does sound like a page from the “Rules for Radicals” template.

Thanks, Guy....

I heard Michael on Curtis Sliwa’s radio show a few nights ago and he was AWESOME, as always! (Talking about Tea Parties).

Have a lovely weekend!

Well done. Of course, any facts that contradict the controlling authority will be ignored.

On Grandy and Andy? I heard that, too.

I wasn’t referring to him in particular. I really don’t know if he is serious or not.

That’s right and i wasn’t faulting him for not being articulate. I just thought it was too bad he wasn’t able to back up his argument. And he said something to the cameraman it seemed like. Something like “can you stop this?” He probably meant stop recording, but it kind of looked like the light in his face was bothering him or he thought it might be bothering the baby.

He was obviously not comfortable about speaking on camera and she did not give him a chance to explain his views. He had a deer in the headlights look and I think that is why she picked him to begin with- he looked like a good target to her and that is what she wanted. She attacked him when he was still attempting to explain his thinking. That is why to be effective in the face of the media you need to think sound bites- they won’t give you time to explain and won’t understand what you are saying anyway. The other issue with the media is if you do give a long explanation they will cut it into sound bites designed to make you look bad anyway- since your message won’t fit their agenda.
