Lib Media Outraged That Joe Miller’s Security Guards Are Active Duty Military Extremists

Tuesday's active duty soldiers are Today's extremists…
Keep throwing that mud libs- something ought to stick.

On Sunday night Joe Miller's security guards detained an unhinged far left blogger after he assaulted an individual and harassed Joe Miller. The lib blogger even followed Joe Miller into the bathroom.

On Tuesday the media was outraged that Joe Miller's security guards were active duty military soldiers in the US Military. But, bashing the military and getting a couple of soldiers fired from their part-time jobs didn't stir up the outrage that they had hoped for.

Well, it's Wednesday and the democrat-media complex is still pushing to make this publicity stunt the scandal of the year.

Yahoo is even taking reports directly from the far left Alaskan blogs to smear Joe Miller and make him appear extreme. (Joe Miller opposes the Obama-Pelosi trainwreck so that automatically makes him an enemy of the state-run media.)

Here's the latest on the non-scandal:

Alaska Senate GOP candidate Joe Miller's security detail, Drop Zone Security Services, made headlines this week for detaining a journalist at a Miller campaign event. Now, several Alaska blogs reveal that the security company Miller hired is tied to an extremist militia group and didn't have a current business license.

William F. Fulton, the owner of Drop Zone, is a local commander and "supply sergeant" of the Alaska Citizens Militia, Palingates blog reported Wednesday. The blog identifies the militia's leader as Norm Olson, the man identified last year by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a "radical among radicals" who had founded the extreme Michigan Militia before setting up shop in Alaska. The center reports that Olson drew widespread attention for stating that Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols had attended a Michigan Militia meeting not long before the bombing.

Unreal. The lib media will do anything to prop up liberals and divert attention from the real issues facing this country.

Employment Report: Alabama is getting back to work

The Bureau of Labor Statistics is out with a year-over-year report, showing changes in unemployment rates for the nation's 372 metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's).  The report covers the period from August 2009 (or about the time that NBER says the recession ended) through August 2010.  Some areas fared pretty well.  Others, not so much.

Alabama comes out looking very good:

---

The Florence-Muscle Shoals area in Northern Alabama saw a drop of 2.3 percent making it the second largest drop in the nation. Decatur was fifth. Anniston and Gadsden shared the eighth spot and Tuscaloosa was number ten.

Mobile and Montgomery are among the top 50, with a 1.2 percent drop in unemployment over the last 12 months. Overall, Alabama's unemployment rate declined by 1.4 percent.

"Alabama right now is leading the nation when it comes to reducing unemployment," said Governor Riley.

"No other state has seen a bigger drop in its jobless rate over the past year, and of the 10 American cities that have seen the largest declines in unemployment, five of the top 10 are in our state. It's certainly a positive sign that Alabama is headed in the right direction."

---

Alabama has a very pro business environment, and it's just easier to do business in this state versus those it's competed against for recent large capital investment projects, including the multi-billion Thyssen Krupp steel plant, the Raytheon Missile Plant and the Hyundai expansion.  All of the state's MSA's posted year-over-year gains.

Other areas of the country continue to suffer, though.  Of the 372 MSA's, 182 posted gains, so about half broke even or worse. Those that posted unemployment rate increases totaled 169.  Of the ten MSA's with the worst year-to-year figures, eight of them are out west.  The worst?  Yuma, AZ with a net increase in unemployment from 25.9% to 30.2%.  Ouch.

Sharron Angle and columnist say Harry Reid pressured paper to change headline

Via the Daily Caller:

In a fundraising email to supporters, Nevada GOP Sharron Angle claims that In the hours after the only face-to-face debate with Nevada's Harry Reid, the Las Vegas Sun apparently changed the headline on a column that said she'd beaten him.

"Right after Reid's debate defeat he went to visit the liberal Las Vegas Sun newspaper. they've previously endorsed him and have been largely serving as the mouthpiece of the Reid campaign for well over a year. The night of the debate they had an article headlined 'Jon Ralston notes how Reid lost the debate to Angle.' After the meeting with Reid, however, the Sun changed it's headline to 'Thoughts on the Reid-Angle debate' " says the email.

The story is apparently confirmed by a rival newspaper.

---

If only for the entertainment value, you gotta find amusement with the Las Vegas Sun and Jon Ralston's manipulation of the news to protect and advance the sputtering Sen. Harry Reid campaign.

Case in point: by most accounts Sen. Reid lost his debate with Sharron Angle on Thursday. In fact, on Friday Ralston wrote in the Sun: "Let's get the easy part out of the way first: Sharron Angle won The Big Debate."

That lead appeared under this headline: "Jon Ralston notes how Reid lost the debate to Angle."

Well, that apparently didn't sit too well with the Reid campaign. So, the Sun interviewed Reid for a Saturday story that might as well been a Reid campaign press release for all the unchallenged assertions made by Reid. For example, Reid said that no journalist or pundit he was aware of thought Angle won the debate. That, by any measure, is not a credible statement and should have been challenged by the reporter given the Sun headline and column above.

But here's the kicker that sends the Sun's coverage of Reid to journalism ethics hell.

The Sun changed the headline after publication.

In the newspaper and online, the headline first proclaimed "Reid lost the debate to Angle". It was subsequently revised to "Thoughts on the Reid-Angle debate".

---

Sure enough, here are the first three results from Google using the terms Angle, Reid, Debate, "Las Vegas Sun" :

But here's the most recent version of the LVSun's web page on the debate:

 

Well, isn't that interesting.

It looks like we have yet another fine, fine example of journalistic ethics by major daily newspapers.  Is there any wonder why people are increasingly turning to the Internet and outlets like Fox News for political coverage?  There was a time when the press could be relied upon to not take sides and just provide the facts.  Those days are apparently long gone at places like the New York Times, the Washington Post and USA Today.  And not surprisingly, the companies owning those once venerable publications are sucking wind like an open chest wound.  They're obviously gone at the Las Vegas Sun, too.

What fine company the Sun finds itself in.

IBM to cut 190 jobs in Dublin, move them to China

DUBLIN (AP) — IBM Corp. said Wednesday it plans to cut 190 jobs at its Ireland server-manufacturing lines and move them to China.

It wasn’t a mistake: Obama Strips the ‘Creator’ from Declaration of Independence — Again

Oh my, you would think the blowback from the first instance would have taught a good politician to avoid such an easy miscue, but no – Obama dropped "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence quote a second time:

"As wonderful as this land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire and said, 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us areendowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,'" Obama said in Monday's speech. [Emphasis added.]

The Declaration of Independence actually says, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." [Emphasis added.]

And what part of this clown is Christian?

BREAKING: Obama got all C’s and D’s in college and law school

Here's a piece from Jennifer Rubin calling Obama out on the ignoramus that he is.  Rubin hits hard with: He displays contempt for Americans who don't agree with his flawed policies, in effect instructing them to shut up. But his arrogance is both unwise (these people vote!) and undeserved. Had he not spent trillions on a flawed Keynesian [...]

Even Union Workers Get the Shaft Under ObamaCare

Under the rule of a socialist who goes out of his way to pander to unions, it helps to belong to one; but it isn't enough to protect you from the fallout of his malignant policies. United Food and Commercial Workers Local 75, which of course endorsed the Manchurian Moonbat for president, recently sent out this update to its members regarding contract talks with Kroger's Cincinnati division:

Local 75 included in our proposals, increases to co-premiums and some modification to your benefits.

In other words, you will be paying more for less under ObamaCare, union or no union.

As Sarah Palin would ask, how's that hopey-changey thing working out for you?

Via the Virtuous Republic, on a tip from the Machiavellian.

Dem Death Knell… Voters Oppose Obamacare, Stimulus and Auto Bailout

This seals it.
Most American voters say their representative does not deserve reelection if he/she voted for Obamacare, the failed Trillion dollar Stimulus plan or the auto bailout.

(New York Times)
Democrats rammed all of these bills through Congress. Not a single Republican House member voted for the failed Stimulus or the final version of Obamacare.
Rasmussen reported:

Incumbents, beware: The major votes you've cast in Congress over the past couple years appear likely to come back to haunt you this Election Day.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most Likely Voters think their representative in Congress does not deserve reelection if he or she voted for the national health care law, the auto bailouts or the $787-billion economic stimulus plan. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Those votes also appear to be driving factors in the GOP's consistent lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Most strong supporters of President Obama believe those who voted for the measures should be reelected. Even more of those who Strongly Oppose the president disagree.

Forty-three percent (43%) of all Likely Voters say someone who voted for the health care law deserves to be reelected. Fifty percent (50%) oppose their reelection.

Thirty-six percent (36%) say if their local representative voted for the taxpayer bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler, he or she deserves to be returned to Congress. Fifty-three percent (53%) say that person does not deserve reelection.

Similarly, 41% say their representative in Congress should be reelected if he or she voted for the stimulus plan. But 50% don't see it that way and say the individual should not be reelected.

Video: Robert Gibbs Asked Why Obama Leaves "The Creator" out of Declaration of Independence

From a recent post of mine: Typical: Obama Leaves "By their Creator" Out of Declaration of Independence at Hispanic Caucus Speech (Obama speaking to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on September 15, 2010):

Gibbs was asked about the omission of "The Creator":

Here's the longer video:

Fact is, Obama is anti-Christian and has nothing but disdain for The Creator. He can't even mention Him. Nor does he believe in unalienable rights.
