"Defending the right to rant!"

Myth Busters

Myth Busters: Don't try this at home! To lefties in Desperate Attack Mode a myth is as good as a mile. Since Obama's poll numbers began to go tankward soon after his inauguration, Democrats' Alinsky-inspired tactics have been fully exploited throughout Obama's regime and certainly during this campaign season to demonize those who oppose their socialistic agenda.

Q. Why was the Tea Party Movement born?

A. Because conservative Americans are, essentially, racists who can't stand the fact that a person of color occupies the White House.

Q. Why are conservative Americans so vehement about strong border control and the illegal alien problem?

A. Because they are jingoistic, xenophobic racists. Naturally, they hate Latinos.

Q. Why are conservative Americans anti-woman?

A. Because they are ostensibly older white racist pro-life males who don't think women -- or other minorities -- are capable of making important decisions. Their goal has always been to keep them barefoot and pregnant.

Allen West will be Florida's first black representative since the 1870's Retired Lt. Colonel Allen West (left), whose early campaign videos went viral last year as the Tea Party Movement was beginning to grow, was elected Tuesday in Florida's 22nd District. "The people have spoken clearly, it is now time to restore honor, integrity and character to Washington. This seat once again belongs to the people."

Tim Scott's victory in South Carolina's 1st Congressional District will make it the first time that two black GOP members will serve in Tim Scott is the first black Republican to represent South Carolina in the U.S. House since Reconstruction. Congress since 1996. Insurance company owner Tim Scott (right) is the first black Republican to represent South Carolina in the U.S. House since Reconstruction. Scott not only received endorsements from Sarah Palin and other Tea Party activists, but also told The Daily Caller in July that he was "...more inclined to join the Tea Party Caucus than the Congressional Black Caucus."

In addition to conservatives Scott and West (West will be Florida's first black representative since the 1870's) other African-American Republicans also made significant gains. Fourteen black Republicans were on House ballots nationwide, almost double the number in 2008. "It is very heartening for our country to see this kind of diversity moving forward," said Hilary Shelton, director of NAACP's Washington bureau. She also noted that a black Republican has not served in Congress since J.C. Watts (R-Oklahoma) left office in 2003 and that "...it was noteworthy that both West and Scott were elected in primarily white districts."

Conservative/Tea Party Racists Myth Busted!!

"...It was [also] a good year to be a Republican Hispanic candidate." So said Arturo Vargas, head of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. "Hispanic Republican candidates rode the Republican tidal wave. It was coast to coast. The only place they didn't seem to win was the Pacific Ocean," he commented, referring to California, where Democrats held strong and Republican Abel Maldonado lost his bid to be lieutenant governor.

The most successful Hispanic candidate was the Tea Party favorite, Marco Rubio.

Maldonado's running mate, Meg Whitman, was called a whore by her "politically correct" Democrat opponent, Jerry Brown, and was demonized by his campaign as anti-Hispanic. What had she said or done?

Several years ago Whitman hired a Mexican woman (it was learned, as a result of the Brown campaign's and Gloria Allred's interference, that the woman is undocumented and had falsified her ID -- for which she is now subject to deportation) whom she allegedly mistreated by paying her more than $15 an hour over than the minimum wage and by giving her a car to drive.

The most successful Hispanic candidate was the Tea

Party's Marco Rubio,

Florida's Senator-elect.

In New Mexico, however, Susanna Martinez was elected as the nation's first female Hispanic governor while Nevada voters elected Brian Sandoval as that state's first Hispanic governor. Jamie Herrera will be the first Latino congressman from Washington state and Raul Labrador will be the first from Idaho. House Democrats were defeated by Latino Republicans such as Francisco Canseco, who beat Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, an 11-year House veteran.

In Florida, state representative David Rivera beat Democrat Joe Garcia, a former Obama administration energy official, to capture an open House seat -- one of the few nationwide that Democrats had hoped to pick up.

Xenophobic Racists Myth Busted!!

South Carolina Governor-elect Nikki Haley.

In South Carolina, Nikki Haley (left) was elected governor, becoming the second Indian-American to win a gubernatorial race. She is also that state's first female governor. Oklahoma U.S. Rep.Mary Fallin and New Mexico district attorney Susanna Martinez will become the first women to occupy their states chief executive offices.

Haley and Martinez become the countrys first two women-of-color governors; Martinez will be the countrys first Hispanic woman governor, while Haley will be the countrys first Indian-American woman governor. In Alabama, Democrat Terri Sewell became the first black woman elected to Congress from that state

Meg Whitman, Carly Fiorina and Linda McMahon have much in common. All are extremely successful businesswomen who have made millions and created thousands of jobs as executives in the private sector. They identified 2010 as a moment when a Republican candidate with no political experience could break into politics. In pursuit of that goal, each committed considerable resources -- more than $200 million combined -- to challenge Democrats.

Unfortunately, they also shared being labeled "too extreme" for taking a fiscally conservative stand, ostensibly by Obama bobbleheads from the public/union sector who also demonized them for being everything from racists to corporatists. The lesson to be learned is that lefties can be effective with Alinsky-style personal attacks given a gullible enough audience. Nonetheless...

Anti-Woman Myth Busted!!

They (with the exception of Rubio) will be conveniently ignored. Especially by our crack staff of mainline media.

[Or worse, they will be called tokens and House Negroes by lefties as was the case with ground-breakers like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. -ED]

The voters have elected some very bright GOP minority candidates while the Democrats continue to re-elect Corrine Brown, Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters...

...the lack of praise for the election of these minorities has to make you take a second look at what all the hullabaloo the left created over the lack of minorities in politics was all about to begin with.

Good job eddo.

Switch Democrat to Conservative or Republican and your blog would have the same validity -- from the other prospective - "mine". I thought you would be going on vacation -- after the drooling election season. I guess I would be incorrect.

Wausau, WI Daily Herald

[You're a stand-up lefty and, as a prolific blogger, you know better than most that I've worked as hard as anyone to make the conservative message become reality. Your earlier suggestion to take a vacation or to write more hokey-pokey stories after the wipe-out would be too easy to accommodate -- but there is still a HUGE amount of work left to do in this political environment. -ED]

California is a lost cause. They're losing their working, tax-paying base and the Progressives are desperate now--look at San Francisco. The City just banned the Happy Meal, to "save" the children from obesity. What kind of sense does that make? They don't have anything better to do in San Francisco?

Now, when the state runs, runs, runs, to the Feds for a bailout, I hope the Republicans just elected have enough cojones to just say NO! If not, I'll be voting them out in 2012.

Myths and outright lies only work on the gullible anyway. No one I know who actually uses their brain for something besides a hat rack is falling for these myths anymore.

If Republicans are the party of No (and pray they stay that way for a while, unless we're talking Obama's impeachment for high treason), then Democrats are the party of All Lies, All the Time.

AUDIT THE FED.

Good job, as usual, Eddo. You never disappoint.

Nice piece. Although this handful of examples isn't enough to claim total victory in the fight for equal representation in our country's leadership structure, it's nonetheless progress forward, and all done without the tactics that the extreme liberal left loves to use to get minorities (are we allowed to call them that any more) elected. It does give us a great example though, that freedom works to encourage more diversity than government policies.

Excellent job, Ed.

The left has worn out the tactic of bullying the right by declaring them racist, homophobic, xenophobes. The people ain't buying it anymore. The only regret I have about the election is the two knucklehead Senators from Montana were not up for election.

mightyright

Great Falls, MT Tribune

Very comprehensive and well written piece, Ed -- you DID have a good English teacher. The racist crap by Democrats lost much credibility this election cycle, as did the Democrats. I suspect people like Rubio scare the hell out of the lefties. May it be just the start of an avalanche that buries left in their own garbage.

St. Cloud, MN Times

Great post, great victory for many hard working Americans. I have to admit the anti-socialist movement took a great leap forward. We will have to wait and see what can be done to keep the socialists on the run. I see there are many new elected people that won't get to the back of the bus, I think they want to drive it.

oscarthepig

Wausau, WI Daily Herald

[Great shot-with-his-own-gun phraseology! -ED]

The figures would have been much better if the Dems hadn't defeated several Republican women. But Dems are afraid of women who have been leaders and accumulated wealth. After all Dems portray women as ineffective and abused to get their votes. If the Dems weren't so racist, so sexist there would have been several more minorities and women elected. Now we have to be satisfied with Jerry Brown, Harry Reid and the other white men the Dems elected instead.

Antonious

Austin, TX American-Statesman

Well you have to give it to OBAMA he is running the ship straight for the iceberg and is not going to alter course .

Yes, look at Boxer how could she win by such a huge margin ? Look to the UK where living on the handout is the way of life , the Dems are smart they know they more people they can make government dependents , the more automatic votes they can get .

Why do you think they want " immigration reform " so badly ? 12 million more votes , most of the votes are in areas that wouldn't make much difference as they have drank so much Kool-Aid that they suffer some kid of blindness now... I think Maxine is going to resign , if she is not in office then it fades away and now that Republicans will be running the show she will not get a slap on the hand . Rangel on the other hand could be caught on security video killing 23 people while getting a Lewinski and be re elected in a landslide.

This is the reason that so many minorities are flocking to the Republican Party. Hispanics love the idea that, for a while, there was a republican president that tried to get amnesty for illegals through congress. Even though the stupid idea was blocked by a congress that was actually more intelligent than the president, Hispanics still are joining the Republican Party in record numbers. There were four that joined, just last month! Blacks realize that, with the recent election advances, republicans will be sure to place inner city projects high on their list of things to do. This has solidified the black voter base and increased the number of black republicans by .000087% in the last quarter alone. There will be no stopping this wave of minorities joining republican ranks. The promise of higher education costs, more wars to maintain high employment among minorities and a general feeling of goodwill should bolster the GOP ranks by over 1,000 by the end of 2011.

Lansing, MI State Journal

[BEFORE the election there were virtually NO minorities on board with conservatives. 90+% of blacks were hanging with

Yo-bama and the Latinos were all Cubanos from Miami. Quit spinning this mandate and make up your mind which story you guys want to stick to! You don't want to prove my point that when minorities align with conservatives they are spoken of as nothing more than tokens and "House Negroes" -- as lefties called Powell, Rice, Thomas, et al -- do ya Drack?. -ED]

My fellow Californians are smoking something worse than crack. To put the same OLD no-idea anti-American thugs back in
office makes my head spin. The Conservative movement shows again it is inclusive, open and welcoming to all, and a place for all people who want to achieve and live in peace and harmony. Too bad the lamestream old time media doesn't get it. But their numbers show the viewers are leaving and soon they and their lib buddies will be wandering the parking lots looking for a ride home.

[Ditto here in NY, Dez. -ED]

An interesting read...

"...its probably wise for all of us to consider how our President and his remaining allies in the media and in Congress might try to explain-away and assign blame for his partys impending implosion." (from a Townhall blogger)

We've been seeing these tactics for two years, and it hasn't stopped us. I hope they keep using them.

eddo: Why focus on race, and not abilities and experience?

ColdMockingbird
Montgomery, AL Advertiser
[Ask the avowed lefties who can't stay off the r-subject. I'm only a messenger of the right who feels compelled to set the record straight by pointing out their obsession and hypocrisy. Obama was/is unqualified because of his (lack of) abilities and (lack of) experience + his relational baggage and political ideology. Not because he is a person of color. I'm tired of saying that but I'll keep at it if forced to. -ED]

So it was a myth the whole time? Well what I saw from Sharron Angle was very scary indeed, I'm glad that she was just kidding. Hey eddo, do you think there might be a possibility in Obama's being a socialist theory as being a myth as well. Think about it or is that you can only see from your side of the street.....

ObiJuankanobi

Palm Springs, CA Desert Sun

[Obama has proven himself to be a socialist. Unfortunately, Obama is a powerful semi-permanent fixture while Angle was a blip on the radar. Regardless of who is right about her qualifications to be senator, how was Obama qualified to be president? Even in a poor choice of candidates, he was the greater of two evils regardless of anyone's skin color. -ED]

Good blog...I'd give it 5 thumbs up if I could.

I don't like B.O.'s Black half either.

ZR/Rifle (AKA: Robot)

Monterey, CA

[I probably shouldn't let the readers know that you are a conservative of color so they can call you a racist and be just as wrong as when they call me a racist. -ED]

I suppose there are some Alinskyites out there re-thinking their theory of massive campaigns of lies. LOL.... It appears it all backfired, doesn't it?

Being called a racist or an Uncle Tom by Sharpton, NAACP, Jesse Jackson etc has become an instant 15 pt. lead in a political campaign.

Obama is acting like he's going to veto a move to kill his health care hoax... Bad career move... There's NO WAY now that he can stop a Legislative hearing into the bill now, or the stimulus bill for that matter... and once all the facts about both of them come out... he'll be lucky to complete his term without facing impeachment...
