You do realize that David Horowitz was also a one point a strong advocate for Communism, and had his worldview shattered with the murder of a woman he knew.

People change.

"Are we sure that Hillbuzz is an ‘excerpt-only’ source?? I sure hate to have to give a Democrat website a ‘click’ to read the whole thing...."

Technically ALL websites are excerpt only if one wishes to abide by copyright law.

Further which would you really rather to happen? A Democrat website getting a few hits from Freepers or the likely possibility of another copyright suit filed against Free Republic?

Wow! What a letter! Wouldn’t it be fun to watch the Democratic Party disintegrate from within? I wonder if that’s part of what is going on with the “insider”?

Read this post, from Hill Buzz, about a House race in VA:

Dear HillBuzz,

With The One due to make an appearance in Charlottesville on Friday on behalf of our freshman Dem congress critter, let me fill you in on what’s happening in Virginia’s Fifth District.

To cut to the chase: Republican challenger Robert Hurt, a Sarah Palin endorsee, is going to win this district in a walk, despite 2 significant difficulties:

1) an independent 3rd party candidate who may siphon off a few percentage points; and

2) being at a huge disadvantage in money, media exposure and name recognition.

VA5 is a sprawling, mostly rural, centrist R-leaning district, often described as being larger geographically than the state of New Jersey. There’s a concentration of Dem voters toward the northern end of the district, and a large African-American Dem vote in two small cities in the southern part of the district; the remaining 1 small city and 17 mostly rural counties (including many with very high African-American populations) tend to be more traditional, conservative and/or Bible belt in orientation.

The official unemployment rate everywhere other than the liberal-voting north is well above, and in several places double or even triple the state’s official rate of 7% (the statewide average is skewed because of the enormous govt. job machine U.S. taxpayers subsidize for many Northern VA residents, along with the many businesses there which benefit from their locale’s high employment rate).

In nearly every city and county in the Fifth, official unemployment has worsened over the past year (“stimulus” my a**). And that’s not even counting thousands of high school and college grads who can’t find work, but aren’t counted as “unemployed”.

Among our district’s distinctions:

1) Martinsville, home to NASCAR’s Martinsville Speedway: For well over a decade – since NAFTA, outsourcing and the anti-tobacco litigation – Martinsville has had the highest unemployment rate in Virginia (officially > 21%, in reality more like >30%). Since 9/11 it has also had among the highest military enlistment and casualty rates in the nation. These are not unrelated facts.

2) Bedford city and Bedford County: Home to the heroic Bedford Boys of D-Day fame.

3) Monticello, in southern Albemarle County: Home of the revered Thomas Jefferson, who would be tickled pink that finally, FINALLY, a considerable contingent of Americans – namely, the Tea Party – are taking seriously his admonition that for the American experiment in democracy to succeed, periodically we need a good old political revolution.

4) Farmville and Prince Edward County, made famous by the Davis v. School Board of Prince Edward County school desegregation case (part of Brown v. Board of Education) and Virginia’s anti-integration movement in the 50s-60s, known as “Massive Resistance”.

5) VA Fifth is one of Sarah Palin’s 20 targeted districts which voted McCain-Palin in 2008, but elected a Dem to Congress who then proceeded to support Obamacare over his constituents’ loud, clear, repeated objections.

6) Higher Ed Belt: We have a large number of public and private universities in and bordering the district, which clearly made the difference for the youngish D candidate in 2008. This year, not so much. Unlike the now D-incumbent, who went to Yale, the Republican challenger – also young – graduated from one of the district’s finest colleges.

No question, though, the D-incumbent has a lot of advantages:

– being a national media darling (regular coverage and repeat interviews in WaPO, NYTimes, the network news, Colbert & Stewart, to name only a few) because of his influential Ivy League connections;

– having a 3-1 advantage in campaign funds due to same (including hefty sums from Wall Street) and running internet ads everywhere, including (misleadingly) on many centrist and right-wing sites;

– and the many outside special interest groups (MoveOn, environmental groups, education unions, you name it) buying nonstop TV and print ads on his behalf. A Politico report this week listed this district as the 2nd highest in the nation this year for outside group spending (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1010/44137.html ), 90% of it for the incumbent Dem. Last Tuesday alone “The Democratic Party and left-leaning groups poured $862,444” into the D-incumbent’s campaign (http://mobile.politico.com/story.cfm?id=44107&cat=topnews ). From where I sit, the Dem-fed media nonsense about the Chamber of Commerce, etc. is overt voter fraud.

But R-challenger Robert Hurt has correctly and steadfastly identified the incumbent Dem as a rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda and the unlimited spending they stand for. Voters get it, as do the region’s daily and weekly newspapers, all of which so far have endorsed Hurt.

The debate performances may have had something to do with Hurt’s solid endorsements record. I only watched one of their 3 debates, and was frankly embarrassed by the incumbent’s increasingly flailing (both rhetorically and physically) presentation. Meanwhile, Hurt was steady, informed and unshakeable on principle, facts and argument. Literally no contest.

The enthusiasm gap in Mr. Hurt’s favor is enormous. The D-incumbent has imported paid campaign operatives from DFA, OFA and all manner of other outside groups to do the groundwork that local committees or volunteers normally handle. For a former D activist (until the O-inspired misogyny of 08) who never had a problem getting local volunteers, it’s almost sad.

But in fact, I feel no sorrow at all for the D-incumbent, whose first TV ad over the summer MOCKED working men, and erased women from the workforce altogether. When so many people are unemployed or hanging by a thread, when the dismal economic reports never end, the fantasyland “recovery summer” is a bust, and, at that point, we were still getting used to a Gulf-full of oil and reports of entire industries in that region going bust as a result, these clowns advertise their candidate out there in a suit and tie doing working class jobs.

It was supposed to be humorous but it came across as condescending, besides suggesting that anyone who wasn’t employed just wasn’t trying. I could hardly believe this wholesale insult from a supposedly “bright” (private schools, Ivy League undergrad and law degree – who does THAT remind you of!) up-and-coming Dem star. Every time that ad came on I either swore and/or cringed, for its sheer stupidity, cruelty and sexism.

So now this supersmart Dem is doing the one thing that can really put the nail in his coffin – bringing The One here on election eve. Remember, Obama lost this district in 2008, BEFORE most people realized how wispy and incompetent he is. Mention him almost anywhere around here these days, and people just shake their heads and laugh, in quiet despair.

Either the D-incumbent is looking for a White House job come January, or he thinks appearing with The One is the way to lock down the VA A-A vote for when he runs for statewide office or president or whatever. We’ll see how that works out. For now, though, what he’s doing is blowing to bits whatever limited political credibility he has left.

Tuesday the 2nd can’t come soon enough. Here’s rooting for Bristol on DWTS, for both of baseball’s upstart Tea Party teams – the Giants AND the Rangers – over the coming week, and for America’s future on Election Day!

And thanking HillBuzz (and all Hillary and/or Sarah supporters) every day of every week.

JB in VA

Speaking of hilarious, Rush just revealed that he had been told by insiders, that Obama uses a teleprompter at staff meetings and cabinet meetings. I got a good laugh at that one. I wonder how many reporters know about this?

I know he used them at the elementary school visit in Falls Church, so it isn't much of a leap. There are pictures of it all over the net. I wonder if he uses one at the dinner table?

I wonder if he just says whatever appears on it, regardless?

When Obama speaks without a teleprompter, it is clear that he is a blathering, bumbling, pompous, incompetent narcissist.....which leads me to suspect (more and more as time passes) that he is a stooge, a marionette of some manipulative entity (probably a rogue element of the CIA, in service to....who knows? the Bank of International Settlemenet? The Rockefellers??) This gets more interesting by the day....

I read the whole thing. I think it is worth your time and a 'click' to do so.

At the very least, Sun Tzu says, "know your enemy".

He sounds like a liberal who was mugged by Obama.

The difference being he wasn't supporting Obama to begin with.

It’s too over-the-top.

Just think of it as Liberace writing a letter to Rush.
