New email endorsement shows AARP going all-out for Dems, Obamacare Washington Examiner
Not that there was any doubt about it, but a new email campaign by AARP's liberal Democrat-dominated Washington staff makes it crystal clear that the leadership of the 40-million member seniors group is going all-out for Obamacare and the House Democrats' version of it, H.R. 3200.
The email alert is especially interesting because AARP is a tax-exempt non-profit that is barred from participating in partisan campaigns, though it is allowed to do a limited amount of legislative lobbying of Congress.
No doubt the AARP leadership in Washington will argue they aren't doing anything they aren't allowed to do as a 501(c)(4), but this new email campaign throws the spirit of the law right out the window.
But wait, there is more. Erick Erickson at Red State details the steps by which AARP's Washington staff has moved the organization to its present position, and notes the growing opposition within the membership.
According to its mission statement,[1] it is "a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization for people age 50 and over ... dedicated to enhancing quality of life for all as we age," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARP
White House Collecting "Fishy" information is Illegal. (Foxnews)
The White House strategy of turning supporters into snitches when they see "fishy" information about the health care debate may run afoul of the law, legal experts say.
"The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it," Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday.
"There's also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can't try to rewrite history by pretending it didn't receive anything," he said.
"If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute."
Denver photojournalist El Marco was at the event and has an amazing pictorial essay detailing how Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read.
And they accuse Tea Party folks of being puppets?!
Ben Stein loses NY Times column over endorsement (WINK, WINK He as too conservative) AP
NEW YORK – Monotone TV personality Ben Stein has been stripped of his Sunday New York Times business column because of his work as a pitchman for a credit monitoring company.
New York Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis released a statement Friday that said the newspaper decided it would not be appropriate for Stein to pitch for FreeScore.com while writing his column.
Why They Really Want to Kill Off the Elderly and Disabled (Economic Policy Journal)
What's really behind the push in the healthcare bill to limit, by government decree, healthcare options? It's because of the government's medicare Ponzi scheme that makes Bernie Madoff look like just a simple short-game grifter.
As Gary North points out, Medicare's hospital fund is already bankrupt:
This is taken from a March 25, 2008 press release from the U.S. government's Department of Health and Human Services. This year the HI Trust Fund will spend more than its income, and from 2009 through 2017, about $342 billion will need to be transferred from the Federal treasury to cover beneficiaries' hospital insurance costs.
The hospital trust fund is the heart of Medicare. How is medicare going to make up the difference? It is going to sell off non-marketable Treasury IOU's back to the Treasury? What is that going to mean?
What about death and estate taxes, which the Marxist dems will increase 100% in 2012?
Property will have to be sold to settle debts and taxes will be levied on those sales.
So Dear Leader gets to cull our elderly citizens like Nazi Germany, steal their assets for their government coffers, and replace them with illiterate impoverished third world democrat peasants.
Atlanta TV Exposes Dem Congressman Yelling At Healthcare Questioner Noel Sheppard
As national media outlets and their employees depict town hall meeting protesters as right-wing outsiders organized by conservative organizations, the Atlanta affiliate of NBC aired a segment Friday evening that should act as a fine example of how this uprising in America should be covered.
11 Alive reporter Duffie Dixon not only showed a heated exchange between Rep. David Scott (D-13th District) and a man asking him about his position on pending healthcare legislation in the House, but also interviewed the questioner when Scott erroneously contended the man was not a constituent and was only trying to hijack his meeting.
As Dixon shared with her viewers, not only wasn't the questioner an organized outsider, he was actually a local doctor
11 Alive reporter Duffie Dixon not only showed a heated exchange between Rep. David Scott (D-13th District)
(FROM WIKIPEDIA) In 2007, rep David Scott was named one of the 22 most corrupt members of Congress by the political watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington In addition to the above complaints Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington also brought into question David Scott's character after he called his Congressional opponent, Deborah Honeycutt, a 'bitch.'
After it was reported that Congressman Scott had called Dr. Deborah Honeycutt a 'bitch,' Donzella James, Scott's 2008 Democratic Primary Opponent, issued this statement: "[David Scott] has been disrespectful to me and other women in my presence.
Even in mixed company, he often makes vulgar references that are less than gentlemanly."
No New Calif. Textbooks Until 2016 UPI. WHEN DEMOCRATS RUN A STATE, LIKE MICHIGAN
Budget cuts will force the California Board of Education to delay buying new textbooks until January 2016 at the earliest, officials say.
A state budget that closed a $24 billion deficit last month dramatically reduced state spending for kindergarten through eighth-grade textbooks, and a result most school districts are also putting off buying new high school textbooks, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
California has also moved to allow funds that were supposed to be solely for textbooks to be diverted to other uses -- an amount that totals $334 million this year. The Times said administrators contend that flexibility is essential for dealing effectively with the budget crisis, but at least one state official disagrees.
"We need modern, state-of-the-art textbooks, not outdated, antiquated textbooks," Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell told the newspaper. "It could be close to a generation before we see new textbooks."
"There is no really good decision," added California Teachers Association President David Sanchez.
Looks like everything above is posted by the "Goebells" guy. This wacko spends his entire day cutting & pasting nonsense as well as giving us his racist, warped point of view.
AARP has jumped the shark. There will be no going back for them. What a sorry insurance business they have been all along. Masquerading as a advocate for seniors? What a joke!

Obama Vows Deep Cuts In Spending [Flashback Urging be Fiscally Tough As Conservative Republicans] ABC News
As president, Obama said he would create a White House team headed by a chief performance officer to monitor the efficiency of government spending.
"I am not a Democrat who believes that we can or should defend every government program just because it's there," Obama said at a rally. LMAO
"We will fire government managers who aren't getting results, we will cut funding for programs that are wasting your money and we will use technology and lessons from the private sector to improve efficiency across every level of government." ROFLMAO
"The only way we can do all this without leaving our children with an even larger debt is if Washington starts taking responsibility for every dime that it spends," he said. FAINTING
When AARP originally posted a forum on Deathcare they got so much negative feedback that they eliminated all the comments and just put up Deathcare talking points. AARP has clearly betrayed seniors because at the heart of all these government schemes is decreased care for seniors. Deathcare even ups the ante to include death counselors. Down with AARP and the communist Osama bin Obama.
AARP has 40 million members? My grandmother says she paid a few dollars many years ago to join, but has not purchased insurance or anything from them. I wonder if she is still on their membership roll? Clever ruse they have going.
Obama Health Plan to Cover 12 Million Illegals (Newsmax)
On Friday, Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama.
The House Ways and Means Committee nixed the Heller amendment by a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines, and followed this action by passing the 1,018-page bill early Friday morning by a 23-to-18 margin, with three Democrats voting against the plan.
The Democratic plan will embrace Obama’s vision of bringing free government medical care to more than 45 million uninsured people in America – a significant portion of whom are illegal aliens.
****Gotta think that if any of the crap you spout off is true then someone will be coming for you soon and we won't have to listen to your nonsense any longer.****
Another death threat from our liberal loon. I guess you fit in well with the SEIU's thugs that break people's bones and Obama's goon squads.
People think Pinochet's death squads were bad, Obama's SS troopers are the worst yet.

No threats here wacko, just making the point that if your right then you should be on the top of the list for a visit from the "goon squads"! Now let's hear how tough you are and how you will take care of yourself.
No problem here. If my congressman invites goons to his meeting. My beating will be video and posted around the world. We do not need to punch or kick the liberals, only expose them. Of course if the press were doing it's job.... As it is they would deep six the whole story.
...AARP has clearly betrayed seniors because at the heart of all these government schemes is decreased care for seniors...
Absolutely untrue. Health Security (if we can get one of the Democrats' less-comprehensive bills passed now) will someday give all Americans the same security and care that seniors already get thanks to Medicare.
For you "Goebells Guy", cause you like cut & paste.
Liberal morons go back and forth from demands for links to "cut and paste" attacks. None of it means anything...just a hypocrite talking.
Conservative morons go back and forth. From endless unimportant links to "cut & paste" talking points. None of it means anything... just a loser talking trash because they lost. 8 years was enough!!!!
Sorry, the only loser trash is the Ghetto Trash in the White House at the moment. Hopefully, he will be impeached soon for his fascists tactics and violence against American citizens.
John Edwards is back in the public spotlight, this time as a federal grand jury investigates whether his presidential campaign illegally funneled money to his former mistress.
Filmographer Rielle Hunter -- who had an affair with the former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate -- spent nine hours in a Raleigh courthouse Thursday testifying in front of the grand jury. A federal investigation on the use of Edwards' campaign money continues.
Edwards, who grew up in the northern Moore County town of Robbins, has denied any wrongdoing on the part of his campaign.
According to the Associated Press, Edwards' political action committee (PAC) paid Hunter $100,000 for film services in 2006 and an additional $14,086 on April 1, 2007, despite having only around $8,000 on hand. Edwards' presidential campaign paid the PAC $14,034 the same day for "furniture."
Hunter was photographed walking into the Raleigh courthouse Thursday with her 18-month-old daughter, Frances. It has been widely speculated that Edwards is the father of the child, though he has publicly denied the claims and no paternity test has been done.
The retirement age in the UK could rise to 70, the chairman of the Pensions Regulator is warning.
David Norgrove said a rise in the retirement age was inevitable as people lived longer and saved less.
Norgrove believes a report by Lord Turner four years ago, which recommended a rise in the state pension retirement age to 68 by 2044, is just the starting point.
At the moment men can claim their pension when they are 65, while women can claim at 60.
Speaking to the BBC this morning Norgrove said: “Given recent legislation is increasing the retirement age progressively to 68, I think it will end up higher than that.
Asian American nominated to S.F. federal court [Former ACLU Lawyer Challenged Prop.209!] SFChronicle
U.S. Magistrate Edward Chen, who as a lawyer helped persuade a judge in 1983 to overturn a Japanese American man's conviction for defying World War II internment, was nominated by President Obama on Friday to the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, where no Asian American has ever been a federal judge.
Chen was an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer in San Francisco from 1985 to 2001 and took part in the ACLU's unsuccessful challenge to Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that outlawed race and sex preferences in government hiring, contracting and education.
"Diversity (And America hating Marxist Affiliation) is critical on the bench," said San Francisco attorney Malcolm Yeung, a board member of the Bay Area's Asian American Bar Association.
You just have to trust Barry, cause he is just so cute and fuzzy! The ACLU said in a statement to FOXNews.com that the White House blog is a “bad idea that could send a troublesome message.”
But the organization added, “While it is unclear at this point what the government is doing with the information it is collecting, critics of the administration’s health care proposal should not fear that their names will end up in some government database that could be used to chill their right to free speech.”
Kind of like what happened with the feminist movement during the Clinton administration.
N.O.W. and the other feminist organizations completely lost credibility by their over-the-top support of Clinton, regardless of his treatment and disrespect of women.
Like the AP, the ACLU is not a champion of civil rights. They are a highly partisan political subsidiary of the DNC, whose mission it is to make the world safe for Democrats.
Aren't seniors covered with Medicare? What is AARP doing in bed with Obama about senior health care? Maybe they want to insure the 20 million illegals that we're going to have to pay for. No health care for illegals! Give them a one-way ticket home.
CNN Uses Pro-Communist American to Tout Cuban Health Care By Rich Noyes
There’s something deeply wrong with journalism that scrutinizes and criticizes the institutions of free and successful nations, but produces puff pieces on the supposed achievements of totalitarian dictatorships.
On Thursday, CNN aired a piece of communist party propaganda about how Cuba could serve as “a model for health care reform” in the United States, complete with an authoritative sound bite from an American medical expert, identified only as someone “who’s lived and worked in Cuba for decades.”
But the expert, Gail Reed, is a longtime admirer of the Cuban revolution, married to the Cuban official who served as ambassador to Grenada in the early 1980s when U.S. troops liberated the island from hardline communists who had executed the leftist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.
She's also worked at Granma, Cuba’s official communist party newspaper.
Correspondent Morgan Neill also recited all of the standard tropes about how Cuban health care is the best in Latin America, is completely free, and “no one falls through the cracks.”
While he acknowledged that “critics charged that conditions in Cuban hospitals are appalling and that Cubans had to pay bribes to get decent care,” nearly all of the August 6 report was positive.
Re: 2:33PM I come here because I work for McClatchy and I hope to get news related to McClatchy.

Someday, you'll suddenly disappear and we can all speculate. Did you open your yap and get your mouth shot off? Did you finally get caught stalking children or did you simply get your computer privileges taken away when you checked into Protective Custody?
In the meantime, we can look forward to you slipping up and running your mouth to the wrong person. Wouldn't that be funny to see someone get their hands around your little neck?
You going to do it? Your to scared to do anything but make idle threats. Your a coward and a POS. Now you can get back to your child molesting hate-mongering ways. Loser!!!
What a baby. I assume by your comments that you can't really defend goons beating up taxpayers. When confronted with evidence of thugs being sent out by the unions to crack some heads in the Chicago way, your response is to call other posters names. What you did not do is to offer any credible defense of the SEIU or their masters.
3:56, I'm not here to defend anyone or speak up on anyone's behalf. I'm here to get news on the company I work for. I'm not going to take any BS from some closet dwelling hate-mongering racist and if you feel the need to be rude & crude then you get what you get.
Race baiter. You might disagree with the ideas posted here but invoking race as a means to defend your undefensible ideas is both wrong and dangerous. Your "mask" is that you are just a MNI employee looking for news. Is it true that all MNI employees believe those who oppose Obamacare are racists? God help you.

So getting them to die off fixes both SS and Medicare?
Maybe we can re-make “Old Yeller”, starring Grandma?
No, Obama's solution for the Elderly will be his new food product: Soylent Green.
The Jews go first.
DEATHCARE SOLVES ALL
What about death and estate taxes, which the Marxist dems will increase 100% in 2012?
Property will have to be sold to settle debts and taxes will be levied on those sales.
So Dear Leader gets to cull our elderly citizens like Nazi Germany, steal their assets for their government coffers, and replace them with illiterate impoverished third world democrat peasants.
This is a win-win-win-win for the Marxists dems!
Obama's already sent his Union Thugs to commit violence against protestors to his fascist plans to take control.
How long before Obama commits shock troops to mow them down with bullets?
It would make Kent State seem like a picnic.

Get ready for it 3:22. You about to be bombarded with insults and cut & paste articles from the Goebells guy.
Forgive him though, he's an idiot!
Liberal morons go back and forth from demands for links to "cut and paste" attacks. None of it means anything...just a hypocrite talking.
3:20pm and 3:27pm, the same Far Left Liberal Drivel Moonbat who is a proud member of Fuhrer Obamas SS.
Time to post another moronic propaganda filth from Krugman or Eleanor Clift.
For you "Goebells Guy", cause you like cut & paste.
Liberal morons go back and forth from demands for links to "cut and paste" attacks. None of it means anything...just a hypocrite talking.
Conservative morons go back and forth. From endless unimportant links to "cut & paste" talking points. None of it means anything... just a loser talking trash because they lost. 8 years was enough!!!!
Sorry, the only loser trash is the Ghetto Trash in the White House at the moment. Hopefully, he will be impeached soon for his fascists tactics and violence against American citizens.
...the same Far Left Liberal Drivel Moonbat who is a proud member of Fuhrer Obamas SS...
Such a thoughtful, well-reasoned response! Really adds to the blog. Which playground were you on when you heard it?
*****Which playground were you on when you heard it?*****
Translation: Waaah! You make fun of Obama, waaah. Don't you know that Obama is the Messiah?
I guess it's time to post another pot of lies from Krugman. LOL.
Jury Hears Ex-Mistress (for 9 hours - John Edwards Jury Hears Ex-Mistress
John Edwards is back in the public spotlight, this time as a federal grand jury investigates whether his presidential campaign illegally funneled money to his former mistress.
Filmographer Rielle Hunter -- who had an affair with the former North Carolina senator and presidential candidate -- spent nine hours in a Raleigh courthouse Thursday testifying in front of the grand jury. A federal investigation on the use of Edwards' campaign money continues.
Edwards, who grew up in the northern Moore County town of Robbins, has denied any wrongdoing on the part of his campaign.
According to the Associated Press, Edwards' political action committee (PAC) paid Hunter $100,000 for film services in 2006 and an additional $14,086 on April 1, 2007, despite having only around $8,000 on hand. Edwards' presidential campaign paid the PAC $14,034 the same day for "furniture."
Hunter was photographed walking into the Raleigh courthouse Thursday with her 18-month-old daughter, Frances. It has been widely speculated that Edwards is the father of the child, though he has publicly denied the claims and no paternity test has been done.
UK retirement age could rise to 70
Times Online
The retirement age in the UK could rise to 70, the chairman of the Pensions Regulator is warning.
David Norgrove said a rise in the retirement age was inevitable as people lived longer and saved less.
Norgrove believes a report by Lord Turner four years ago, which recommended a rise in the state pension retirement age to 68 by 2044, is just the starting point.
At the moment men can claim their pension when they are 65, while women can claim at 60.
Speaking to the BBC this morning Norgrove said: “Given recent legislation is increasing the retirement age progressively to 68, I think it will end up higher than that.
Asian American nominated to S.F. federal court [Former ACLU Lawyer Challenged Prop.209!]
SFChronicle
U.S. Magistrate Edward Chen, who as a lawyer helped persuade a judge in 1983 to overturn a Japanese American man's conviction for defying World War II internment, was nominated by President Obama on Friday to the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, where no Asian American has ever been a federal judge.
Chen was an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer in San Francisco from 1985 to 2001 and took part in the ACLU's unsuccessful challenge to Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that outlawed race and sex preferences in government hiring, contracting and education.
"Diversity (And America hating Marxist Affiliation) is critical on the bench," said San Francisco attorney Malcolm Yeung, a board member of the Bay Area's Asian American Bar Association.
ACLU: That Fishy Email Thing Ain’t No Big Deal
You just have to trust Barry, cause he is just so cute and fuzzy! The ACLU said in a statement to FOXNews.com that the White House blog is a “bad idea that could send a troublesome message.”
But the organization added, “While it is unclear at this point what the government is doing with the information it is collecting, critics of the administration’s health care proposal should not fear that their names will end up in some government database that could be used to chill their right to free speech.”
Now if Bush had done it, then we would have a very serious problem to the ACLU. However, since it’s Obama then it’s OK.
Kind of like what happened with the feminist movement during the Clinton administration.
N.O.W. and the other feminist organizations completely lost credibility by their over-the-top support of Clinton, regardless of his treatment and disrespect of women.
Like the AP, the ACLU is not a champion of civil rights. They are a highly partisan political subsidiary of the DNC, whose mission it is to make the world safe for Democrats.
I got one of those support Obama's health care plan from AARP and I answered it. The first two words were f#$% y@#!!!
Aren't seniors covered with Medicare? What is AARP doing in bed with Obama about senior health care? Maybe they want to insure the 20 million illegals that we're going to have to pay for. No health care for illegals! Give them a one-way ticket home.
AARP leadership should be ashamed. What a Titanic move to kiss ass on Obama.
CNN Uses Pro-Communist American to Tout Cuban Health Care
By Rich Noyes
There’s something deeply wrong with journalism that scrutinizes and criticizes the institutions of free and successful nations, but produces puff pieces on the supposed achievements of totalitarian dictatorships.
On Thursday, CNN aired a piece of communist party propaganda about how Cuba could serve as “a model for health care reform” in the United States, complete with an authoritative sound bite from an American medical expert, identified only as someone “who’s lived and worked in Cuba for decades.”
But the expert, Gail Reed, is a longtime admirer of the Cuban revolution, married to the Cuban official who served as ambassador to Grenada in the early 1980s when U.S. troops liberated the island from hardline communists who had executed the leftist Prime Minister Maurice Bishop.
She's also worked at Granma, Cuba’s official communist party newspaper.
Correspondent Morgan Neill also recited all of the standard tropes about how Cuban health care is the best in Latin America, is completely free, and “no one falls through the cracks.”
While he acknowledged that “critics charged that conditions in Cuban hospitals are appalling and that Cubans had to pay bribes to get decent care,” nearly all of the August 6 report was positive.
I have no idea what they are thinking with this one.
Everybody, even most democrats, knows that health care is "free" in Cuba because there actually isn't any.
Well, there is a syringe tucked away in a drawer somewhere, a used roll of gauze on a shelf, and an old box of bandaids in a cabinet somewhere.
Castro even had to fly docs in from out of the country when he was sick.
As long as the cure doesn't require toilet paper, Cuba is an excellent model.
Re: 2:33PM
I come here because I work for McClatchy and I hope to get news related to McClatchy.
This is about McClatchy you dumb ass. They won't tell the truth like you read on here, but you are too dumb to see it. That's why you are there and think you have a career. Stick with it pardner. Don't mess up the real work force.
This wacko spends his entire day cutting & pasting nonsense as well as giving us his racist, warped point of view.
There is no "us" here. You are not one of, "us"
It is you that is not welcome and it is you that is the racebaiter hate monger. It is in every fiber of your existence and screams at you constantly. It is all you can think of and I love it because it is consuming your whole.
Someday, you'll suddenly disappear and we can all speculate. Did you open your yap and get your mouth shot off? Did you finally get caught stalking children or did you simply get your computer privileges taken away when you checked into Protective Custody?
In the meantime, we can look forward to you slipping up and running your mouth to the wrong person. Wouldn't that be funny to see someone get their hands around your little neck?
7:28
You going to do it? Your to scared to do anything but make idle threats. Your a coward and a POS. Now you can get back to your child molesting hate-mongering ways. Loser!!!
What a baby.
I assume by your comments that you can't really defend goons beating up taxpayers. When confronted with evidence of thugs being sent out by the unions to crack some heads in the Chicago way, your response is to call other posters names.
What you did not do is to offer any credible defense of the SEIU or their masters.
3:56, I'm not here to defend anyone or speak up on anyone's behalf. I'm here to get news on the company I work for. I'm not going to take any BS from some closet dwelling hate-mongering racist and if you feel the need to be rude & crude then you get what you get.
You don't come here to get news. You're a troll who has nothing better to do.
Race baiter. You might disagree with the ideas posted here but invoking race as a means to defend your undefensible ideas is both wrong and dangerous.
Your "mask" is that you are just a MNI employee looking for news. Is it true that all MNI employees believe those who oppose Obamacare are racists?
God help you.
