Finally an Egyptian belly-dancer tells the truth about Obama:
Hey Obama, Hey Obama
Hey Obama, support the terrorism
Traitor like the Brotherhood members
Obama say it’s a coup
That’s not your business dirty man
Obama say it’s a coup
That’s not your father, mother business
And you Patterson, stop messing
Old bitch woman
The “bitch woman” is U.S. Ambassador to Egypt Anne Patterson and, hey, if Obama appointed her, she’s probably pretty bad. The lyrics to Sama Elmarsy’s song also include this:
You want us to release Morsi
Hey Obama, you are stupid, bad man
You want us to release Morsi
Stop this or I will stab you
Why then you told Mubarak
To leave immediately?
You threaten us with the U.S. aid
F–k it and f–k you
You are a jerk
Let’s be honest: Rand Paul couldn’t have said it better. If Karl Rove’s super-PAC had a message this clear, Romney would be president!
Somebody tell @Reince: We've got our new GOP theme song! http://t.co/BeSHmqk1XR

No Justice on Campus at Vassar?
Posted on | August 6, 2013 | 49 Comments
K.C. Johnson, who did some of the best writing about the infamous Duke University lacrosse team rape hoax, has uncovered a genuinely disturbing story: “The Dubious Rape Trial at Vassar.”
You should go read the whole thing, but I’ll summarize briefly: Two college students go to a party and get drunk, then the girl goes back to the guy’s dorm room and they start having sex, but are interrupted by the guy’s roommate. Girl goes home, remains friendly to guy but then — BOOM! — a year later accuses him of rape.
So far as I can see from K.C. Johnson’s article, there is zero evidence that would tend toward convicting this guy of rape, and plenty of evidence that would tend to exculpate him. However, it’s obviously impossible to judge a case based on what you read on the Internet.
What stands out is that this case was handled not as a crime, but as a campus disciplinary procedure, so that the accused guy had none of the legal protections that any criminal suspect would have in a court of law. The upshot is, this guy was expelled from college earlier this year on the basis of a judgment rendered by a panel of three faculty members, with little chance to offer a defense.
If this guy is, in fact, a predatory sex offender, he should be charged and tried for the alleged crime. Merely to kick him out of school — to ruin his name on the basis of a disciplinary hearing — is both unjust to him, and inadequate as a public safety measure.
And let me be perfectly blunt here: Belated remorse over an unsatisfactory drunken hook-up doesn’t make you a victim.
Any drunken hook-up is a bad idea, but feeling embarrassed or regretful about it afterwards does not make your partner a rapist.
Also, there is this: The accused guy, Peter Wu, is Chinese-American, and the girl who accused him, Mary Claire Walker, is white.
Does anyone doubt that if Wu were a black guy named Dontay Robinson, Al Sharpton would be leading rallies at Vassar on his behalf?
“No justice! No peace!”
Maybe race had nothing to do with it. On the other hand . . .
Would a white chick at Vassar who hooked up with a Chinese guy be subjected to derogatory remarks by her classmates? Might there be some kind of social stigma involved? I am not familiar enough with contemporary campus culture to know. Maybe all this blah blah blah about “diversity” is as sincere as it is unnecessary. Maybe kids nowadays are completely colorblind and it’s ridiculous to suspect that anything remotely akin to racism was a factor in this case.
Leaving that aside, however, the process that led to Peter Wu’s expulsion from Vassar doesn’t look much like justice and, while I don’t want to go all Reverend Al here, this process needs to be critically examined and Wu ought to have a chance to clear his name.
Finally, let me advise young people: Don’t get so drunk that you have that “what-or-who-did-I-do-last-night?” morning-after horror.
You might wake up with a Democrat, or a terrible disease.
But I repeat myself . . .

Will Sydney Leathers Porn Video Be Entitled, ‘Not Enough Latex on Earth’?
Posted on | August 5, 2013 | 56 Comments
A Democrat finally created a job, as Donald Douglas points out, which explains why tattoo-covered skanks are a Democrat key constituency.
Young ladies, if anyone ever tries to tell you tattoos are sexy, just remember these two words: Sydney Leathers.
— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) August 6, 2013
If you want to see more of Sydney Leathers, let me warn you that this link is Not Safe For Work, by which I mean, you might get fired for projectile vomiting in your office cubicle. One look at that skeezy tramp, and whatever capacity for arousal you might have will be instantly neutralized by an overwhelming fear of infection. Viral, bacterial, fungal — probably some spiders and cockroaches in there, too.
PRO TIP: Before having sex with Sydney Leathers, remember that condoms don't provide 100% protection against herpes, which is incurable.

Meltdown Monday: Does Bill Schmalfeldt Need a Brief Vacation at Spring Grove?
Posted on | August 5, 2013 | 112 Comments
Bill Schmalfeldt ranting, 2011. (Image via Thomas Anderson at Vimeo)
“The point is, the sound advice I gave Barrett Brown could apply equally to you, Mr. Schmalfeldt: ‘Spare me your lawsuit threats … you are traveling a road to destruction.’ …
“As for your own understanding (of law or anything else), sir, I am quite certain it is impaired by the fact that YOU’RE CRAZY.
“Crackers. Psycho. Loopy. Off your rocker.
“Nuttier than a Snickers bar.”

Deranged cyberstalker Bill Schmalfeldt says "they have a way to lock me up … it seems to be the plan." #NotCrazy
— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) August 5, 2013
“Spring Grove Hospital Center is the oldest hospital for the mentally ill in Maryland, and the third oldest in the United States. … It was renamed the Maryland Hospital for the Insane in 1838, and moved to its present site at Catonsville in 1872. …
“With 295 inpatient beds and 62 assisted-living beds, the Center provides acute, subacute and long-term psychiatric care to adult and geriatric patients …”
— Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
It would be wrong to say that Bill Schmalfeldt “went crazy” today, because clearly he arrived at that destination long ago. Having been ordered by Carroll County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Stansfield June 14 to cease all contact with John Hoge, Schmalfeldt’s insane obsession makes it impossible for him to comply. So when for the third time Schmalfeldt “accidentally” addressed Hoge in a Twitter message (the difference between speaking about someone and speaking to someone on Twitter) what does Schmalfeldt do? He sends a crazy e-mail to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s office:
“People contacting me now are surreptitiously adding @wjjhoge to their tweets hoping to catch me in this mistake, and they have succeeded again. . . .
“Hoge’s friends have been trying to trap me this way. . . .
“I know that I have blundered into the trap that was set for me . . .”
Exactly whom does Schmalfeldt mean to accuse of “trying to trap me”?
What is actually happening — you should read this post by Hoge — is that Bill Schmalfeldt is engaged in cyberstalking: Obsessively watching Hoge and Hoge’s friends to see what they’re talking about, and them jumping into their timelines to shout his crazy accusatory gibberish at them.
If anyone wants me to provide a court affidavit to explain how Schmalfeldt’s particular form of harassment works (in terms of tactics, strategy and purpose), I’ll be glad to do so, but I’m not going to describe it here, because I don’t endorse it, and I don’t want to accidentally offer a “How To Be a Troll” guide for copycats.
Schmalfeldt’s problem is that he has become so obsessive and/or compulsive about his cyberstalking that he lacks the rationality necessary to avoid violating the court order.
@rsmccain Let me know when gets to "Pedo Bomber Bromancing". If he hits that I win the crazy bastard daily double this week.
— Kyle Kiernan (@kylekiernan) August 5, 2013
Bill can’t help himself. So when he starts ranting about “POOP FLAKES” and scrotums (trust me, you don’t want to see those Tweets), this is not merely evidence, it’s symptomatic. His Twitter timeline got so crazy, even his left-wing buddies were telling Schmalfeldt he was losing his mind and finally Hoge felt it necessary to ask police to do a welfare check to make sure Schmalfeldt had not become a danger to himself or others.
@rsmccain @wjjhoge Better person than I am. CBBS on fire? don't call me.
— Kyle Kiernan (@kylekiernan) August 5, 2013
Having expended 5,000 words to explain to Bill Schmalfeldt that he’s crazy, I don’t know what more can be done. When the nice young men in white coats show up to cart him away for a psychiatric evaluation, we can expect that Schmalfeldt will blame other people for his problems.
Because that’s what crazy people always do.
Well, @IloiloKano, a certain Patsy Cline tune comes to mind http://t.co/fRP6yuu7Mc | @antvq16 @wjjhoge @Stranahan #NotCrazy

UPDATE: This was predictable:
BREAKING – Adjudicated harasser Schmalfeldt goes into hiding, protects his tweets. No self control??
— army_vet (@antvq16) August 5, 2013
Switching your Twitter account to “protected” status is, in this kind of situation, very much like waving a white flag. Bill Schmalfeldt was the aggressor, and it’s impossible to accomplish much in terms of Twitter aggression once you switch to “protected” status.
Primary Politics: Can the Grassroots Defeat the GOP Establishment in 2014?
Posted on | August 5, 2013 | 142 Comments
Interesting developments: Matt Bevin is challenging Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky GOP primary.
Checking his biography, I’m glad to see that Bevin is a graduate of Washington & Lee University, a U.S. Army veteran, and a small business owner — exactly the kind of outsider “not a politician” profile anyone would want in a Tea Party candidate. If grassroots conservatives in Kentucky rally behind Bevin, I think we can start chilling the champagne for Mitch McConnell’s retirement party. However, defeating the party’s Senate leader in a primary would be completely unprecedented.
If this is Star Wars, Luke Skywalker and the rebel alliance can’t expect Darth Vader to surrender the Empire without a fight. Or can we?
We were standing outside the Continental Lounge in Rosslyn, Va., while the young Republican operative explained it to me.
“All they care about is getting their chairmanships back, and they don’t care how they get there,” said the operative. “They don’t want to spend any money, so they were looking for a self-funder.”
“They” are Republican senators, and what my friend was explaining was the otherwise inexplicable decision of the National Republican Senatorial Committee to endorse Charlie Crist in the Florida Senate race — 15 months before the primary!
Ah, those heady days of 2009, when the Tea Party uprising was a new and untested force in American political life, when Marco Rubio was 35 points behind Charlie Crist in the polls and supporters of that unknown underdog Marco Rubio were told he had no chance!
Rubio’s role in the “Gang of Eight” has rather tarnished his reputation among conservatives, but thank God he beat Charlie Crist, eh?
Nothing could be more corrupt than the shabby deal whereby John Cornyn, the NRSC and Florida GOP chairman Jim Greer — I pause to spit on the ground — lined up behind Crist in May 2009.
The “Not One Red Cent” rebellion was the first shot of a guerrilla struggle, with the Tea Party grassroots as the ragtag insurgents in a long war for control of the Republican Party that has not ended yet, and won’t end — cannot end — until the rebels have utterly vanquished the Beltway GOP Establishment and their go-along-to-get-along philosophy of bipartisan compromise. There is nothing that the present-day Democrat Party believes in that any patriotic American can endorse, and all talk of “bipartisanship” is anathema.
You cannot defeat Democrats by promising to cooperate with Democrats, and the GOP’s corrupt compromisers must be replaced by a new generation of conservatives who understand a very old idea: Give voters a choice, not an echo, as Phyllis Schalfly said in 1964.
To hell with anyone who says the politics of principle is unrealistic, who argues that it is a “smart” and pragmatic thing for Republicans to position themselves as the “Me, Too” party, promising voters a more efficient Welfare State — Democrat Lite, as it were.
The Democrat are wrong, their liberal policy agenda is bad, and Republicans need not apologize for being the party of Right and Good.
Mid-term elections are always more about the grassroots than are the pursuit of independent “swing” voters that is typical of those gaudy national spectacles of a presidential campaign. Turnout is always lower in the mid-terms. So-called low-information voters — who are usually counted in opinion polls as undecided, “don’t know/don’t care” — can be spurred to vote in a presidential election by emotional appeals to do their patriotic duty as citizens. But it is very difficult to explain to these disaffected and ill-informed people why electing congressmen and senators and state legislators is ultimately important to the future of the country. And it is only in closely contested “swing” states that the parties make any real effort to mobilize voters even in a presidential campaign.
Understanding this factor is crucial to evaluating the stakes in 2014. In a deeply “red” state like Kentucky in a mid-term election, there is comparatively little chance that a bruising primary fight for the GOP Senate nomination will damage Republican prospects in November 2014. If Matt Bevin can somehow mobilize the kind of grassroots support necessary to defeat Mitch McConnell in the primary, Bevin will stomp Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in the general election the way Godzilla stomped Tokyo.
Conservatives therefore need not listen to any scaredy-cat talk that support for Matt Bevin will endanger Republican hopes for capturing control of the Senate in 2014. The GOP Establishment will encourage such fears, and the liberal media will cheerfully publicize such talk, in exactly the same way the same people claimed that the Tea Party uprising of 2009-2010 was bad for Republicans. Yet the result in November 2010 was a historic landslide victory for Republicans, and if John Boehner doesn’t understand that he owes his control of the House Speaker’s gavel to the conservative grassroots, how better to remind Boehner of this fact than to send his Senate counterpart Mitch McConnell into early retirement?
Simple message for you, Mister Speaker: You could be next.
All of these thoughts were inspired by Erick Erickson’s commentary on his encounter with an NRSC representative at this past weekend’s Red State Gathering in New Orleans.
What Erick relates is unfortunate on all sides. The NRSC operative was, we may suppose, just following orders, and Erick and I have had more than a few disputes in the past couple of years. But my own position in the fundamental question that Erick addresses hasn’t changed since 2009, when he and I were in 100% agreement: The NRSC should stay the hell out of contested Republican primaries, period.
Set aside any question of ideology, friendship or personal interest, and what it comes down to is this: Either the Republican Party represents an active and organic popular movement — a principled and patriotic opposition to the corrupt agenda of the Democrats — or else the GOP is simply a vehicle of careerist political ambition.
A top-down party controlled by insiders motivated by their narrow private interests cannot expect the kind of committed loyalty that a genuinely principled grassroots movement inspires. For the NRSC to go meddling in a primary — even on behalf of the Senate Minority Leader — is anathema to the kind of grassroots party the GOP must be, if it is ever to defeat the Democrats and become a governing majority again.
If Mitch McConnell wants to be re-nominated as the Republican candidate for Senate in Kentucky, let him spend his own campaign funds and mobilize his own resources for that purpose, and not dishonestly use national party resources against Matt Bevin.
And frankly, I think the spectacle of a contested primary can and should be averted altogether: Mitch McConnell should retire.
No hard feelings, Senator. Cash in your chips and walk away from the table, take up a gig at a think tank or lobby shop, collect your pension and appear on TV as an “elder statesman.” I’m sure Fox News would pay you a nice six-figure salary as a commentator.
There is a quite recent precedent, after all.
Last November, when the Retire #Taxby Chambliss movement began, nobody imagined it might actually happen, but it did, didn’t it?
If we could retire #Taxby Chambliss … http://t.co/WBHJjJEANS … why can't we #DitchMitch?
— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) August 5, 2013
Is this crazy? Of course it is. But everybody told us we were crazy to imagine that Marco Rubio could defeat Charlie Crist.
Until this morning, I’d never even heard the name Matt Bevin. All I know about him is what I’ve quickly skimmed from his Web site biography, and frankly I don’t give a damn about whatever his political “negatives” might be. This isn’t really about Matt Bevin. It’s not about Mitch McConnell. It’s not about Erick Erickson. This is about America’s future, and we are not a nation built by timid and fearful souls.
Here’s the way I see it: We’re playing Texas Hold ‘Em. It’s been one of those long nights — win a little, lose a little, up and down, never a chance to rake a big pot. The chips are dwindling. No guts, no glory, so if we get any kind of a decent hand, we might as well go all-in.
Folks, as crazy as this may seem, I think that if we will all rally behind Matt Bevin — and rally now — Mitch McConnell will announce by Christmas that he won’t seek re-election to the Senate.
No contested primary, no wasted resources, no hard feelings, just a changing of the guard, and a passing of the torch.
This development will shock the daylights out of the GOP Beltway Establishment, which has “tamed” Marco Rubio and thought they had domesticated the Tea Party movement.
Do we want bipartisan compromise?
Do we want Democrat Lite? Go along to get along?
Not just “no” — hell, no. All in!
Is the Mother of a Convicted Drug Dealer Running the #FreeKate Facebook Page?
Posted on | August 4, 2013 | 45 Comments
It’s been nearly a month since I’ve written anything about accused sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt, whose supporters seem to think there should be a “lesbian loophole” in statutory rape laws. The “Free Kate” movement has undergone a substantial meltdown since the glory days of May, when Kaitlyn was featured on the Today show, before the facts of the case were widely know (See SupportHonesty.net).
The most recent news is that Kaitlyn Hunt’s trial in Indian River County, Florida, which had been scheduled for Sept. 9, has been postponed indefinitely because Circuit Court Judge Robert Pegg has to hear a murder trial. Meanwhile, Jeanette Runyon has been keeping tabs on the “Free Kate” activists and reports that one of the Facebook group’s administrators is the mother of a notorious felon, Zachary Rose, who was convicted in federal court in May:
The mastermind behind a multimillion-dollar Jacksonville pill mill operation that illegally sold painkillers to thousands, including a man who died from an overdose, pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to a drug conspiracy charge.
Zachary Timothy Rose, 27, faces a maximum of 30 years in prison and the forfeiture of $3.1 million in cash after pleading guilty to conspiring to illegally distribute oxycodone and Xanax. Rose also agreed not to file an appeal in the case and has offered to cooperate against co-defendants.
The plea before U.S. Magistrate Jim Klindt allowed Rose to avoid a possible mandatory life sentence on a charge of aiding and abetting in the 2010 overdose death of a Jacksonville man who received oxycodone from one of Rose’s clinics. The aiding and abetting charge and a money-laundering charge were dropped as part of the plea agreement.
According to TheDirty.com, Zachary Rose was a party animal who loved the nightlife, clubbing in Atlanta and Miami. He had a criminal record dating back at least to 2005, when he was arrested on a cocaine charge in Tallahassee. When he turned himself in to authorities in 2011, he said he had been treated for mental illness since childhood and — oh, by the way — he’s got herpes:
When asked by the judge, Rose said he was on medications relating to a bipolar condition he said he was diagnosed with in 2007, painkillers from a back injury and other medicines to treat genital herpes.
He said the painkillers are “kind of an on-and-off thing” and that he was an “experimental child,” referring to the several medications he said doctors prescribed him as he grew up with mental health conditions.
Jeanette’s identification of “Free Kate” Facebook administrator Deb Rose as this man’s mother seemed to me circumstantial. But then a Twitter account popped up with a few choice words.
You stay classy, Free Kate supporters!
