So Long, 2008 - You Sucked! PDF E-mail
Written by Melanie Morgan

I am very happy to slam the door on 2008, and I am looking forward to 2009. I feel downright optimistic, in fact.

I joined 6 million plus people who lost their jobs in the past year. And that is a rotten thing to go through. I also watched my retirement funds decline by 30 percent (and I feel lucky, because so many others lost much more) and I watched the American people vote for Barack Obama, buddy of terrorists and nutty preachers.  One has to wonder what the usually smart folks of this country are thinking.

 Let's laugh our way into the New Year ... I am posting some of the most amusing conservative videos to emerge from the dismal electoral landscape last year.

Danny Glover at Eyeblast.Tv (also new on the scene and  a very talented guy who is giving hope to those of us fighting the dopey Democrats) compiled the list.

Enjoy.

My stint this year as the executive producer of Eyeblast.tv confirmed what I suspected before I began the job - that conservatives are way behind the online video curve. But I was also pleasantly surprised to see some top-notch video work by conservatives, both amateur and professional. 

Here are my picks for the Top 10 Conservative Videos of 2008 and why I chose them:

10) I Am Sarah Palin: Top female, conservative bloggers took a stand for Sarah Palin amid sexist media coverage of the Republican vice-presidential candidate. The video showcased the right's online superstars and their creativity.

9) Children Sing Hymns To Obama: California parents who supported Obama gathered their children in a home to sing praises to "The One." Negative publicity about the incident, including video parodies like this one, prompted the user to yank the video from YouTube. Other worshipful videos suffered the same fate later in the campaign.

8) Just Tell Us The Truth: This four-minute compilation of clips drew a clear distinction between the views about life expressed by Barack Obama, John McCain and Sarah Palin. It was one of several compelling videos about abortion, a topic largely ignored by the media during the presidential race.

7) Hillary Clinton's Bosnia Lie: When Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "misspoke" about being under sniper fire while in Bosnia as first lady, the press accepted it at face value. But Rich Noyes of the Media Research Center smelled a lie and found the CBS clip that exposed it. He showed conservatives how to do the investigative work that liberal journalists won't. Clinton's lie became a major story in the Democratic primary because of the clip, which also inspired a much-watched parody.

6) Obama's Passion For Spreading The Wealth: A anonymous producer known to the online world as Naked Emperor News unearthed multiple audio and video clips that revealed the radical views of Obama, including this one about redistributing wealth. Like the Bosnia video, Naked Emperor News' grassroots opposition research provided the kind of scrutiny Obama should have faced from the mainstream media and proved that conservatives can be the media. If you can't beat ‘em, bypass ‘em.

5) Exposing Planned Parenthood (Episode 1, Episode 2): These are the first of two videos in the "Mona Lisa Project" being produced by Live Action Films. The investigative videos expose the illegal and unethical practices of Planned Parenthood counselors. Students for Life of America has produced similar videos. All of them are noteworthy not only for what they reveal but because YouTube has banned several of them as "inappropriate content."

4) Not Wallet: In a video titled "Not Alex," the liberal extremists at MoveOn.org manipulatively used a baby and distorted McCain's words to criticize his views on the Iraq war. A conservative blogger answered with this "Not Wallet" parody, which effectively used the same 30-second ad format and theme of MoveOn's ad to turn the discussion toward Barack Obama's pro-tax economic views.

3) Burning Down The House: When conservatives create videos that strike a chord with the public, they often become the target for copyright-infringement "takedown notices" at YouTube. That's what happened to this video about the financial crisis and what caused it. The mash-up showed people that liberals are really to blame for the current housing crisis. David All of techRepublican landed an exclusive interview with the video's creator after the copyright controversy.

2) Joe The Plumber's American Dream: Conservatives may not be great at creating original content, but they know a good clip when they see one and work relentlessly to make people notice. American voters definitely noticed Joe (The Plumber) Wurzelbacher. This is the clip that started the Joe the Plumber phenomenon and helped expose Obama for the spread-the-wealth radical he is. McCain arguably would have been defeated more soundly by Obama had this video not become a centerpiece of discussion late in the campaign.

1) Dear Mr. Obama: The power in this video comes from the personal experience of the veteran who made it. He practiced the message of sacrifice that Obama preached. The video earned 13 million views on YouTube, was mentioned as the top Obama-related video by a liberal publication, The Nation, and finished second to "Yes We Can" among election-related videos.

After a week-long smear campaign against conservatives over a year old Rush Limbaugh Show parody, the mainstream media is now OUTRAGED to see the far left play the race card in Illinois by Brian Maloney at Radioequalizer.blogspot

 The net effect: conservatives are racist, the far left is racist and the Obamists are now the arbiters of All Things Racial.
 
Pass the Word - Don't Close Gitmo! PDF E-mail

To: President-elect Barack Obama

Keep Gitmo Open !

We believe it will be a horrendous error to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base.

It is an affront to American troops to close the prison and leave the impression that our military men and women have done something wrong. United States troops working at the prison have been wrongly slandered for their work keeping the most dangerous terrorists away from the American people.

Move America Forward recently visited the prisons and observed the professionalism of our troops. They bent over backwards to ensure that the radical Muslim prisoners were treated with kid gloves. They are given regular movie nights in overstuffed couches, top-notch healthcare, air-conditioned accommodations, choices of six meal plans, regular exercise, art and English classes and every religious consideration.

Before American women can visit the prisons, they must cover their arms and legs to ensure that they don’t offend the terrorists. Yet misinformed people demand that the prison close because, they claim, prisoners live in inhumane conditions, which is totally false.

We are outraged at the horrible lies told about our troops who work with these terrorists and the gullible politicians and others who have fallen for the lies. We are especially sickened at American politicians who believe the best abort the terrorists and the worse about our troops.
We oppose your plan to close the prison and bring these murderous terrorists to American civilian and military prisons such as Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Allowing the trials to be conducted in the United States will give the ACLU attorneys and other leftist anti-military extremists the ability to treat the criminal proceedings as “show trials” to embarrass the United States and our heroic troops.

We oppose the plan to ask other countries to house these horrendous murderers as there will be a greater risk of escape or release back into the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, where they can kill American troops and innocent civilians.

Visit the troops at Guantanamo Bay and see for yourself that the right answer is to KEEP GITMO OPEN!

Hot Rod Blago Burns Democrat Leadership PDF E-mail

The snort meter is pegging in the red, as Hot Rod Blago makes the only move left to him - and daring the Democrats to do anything about it. The embattled Governor of Illinois appointed a reliable crony to the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by President-Elect Obama.

The media is going crazy.

And frankly, what's not to love about this story? Corrupt Democrat political machine with ties to the incoming administration.

It's the gift that keeps on giving to the GOP.

I love this story. But I must admit that there is something very creepy about the physical appearance of Rod Blagoyevich.

It must be the hair. It's always the hair.

 
...Speaking of the Times PDF E-mail

Yes, I was speaking of the Times ...in the previous post. This blogburst is about the New York Times, and the pickle its editors find themselves in right now.

In its efforts to play "gotcha" journalism, the reporter and editors at the Gray Lady published a story saying that Senator John McCain had a relationship (hinting sexually here) with a Washington lobbyist.

Miss Vicky Iseman took exception to the story. And now she's suing.

"..Vicki L. Iseman filed the defamation suit in U.S. District Court in Richmond. It also names as defendants the Times' executive editor, its Washington bureau chief and four reporters.

Iseman represented telecommunications companies before the Senate Commerce Committee, which McCain chaired. In February, as McCain was seeking the Republican presidential nomination, the Times reported that McCain aides once worried the relationship between Iseman and McCain had turned romantic.

The article said that both McCain and Iseman denied any romantic relationship, but the lawsuit says most readers would find that obligatory.

"That The New York Times would make such aggressive and sensational allegations and insinuations in the face of on-the-record denials by Ms. Iseman and Senator McCain only reinforced the message to readers that The New York Times in fact believed that Ms. Iseman and Senator McCain had indeed engaged in an `inappropriate relationship,' a relationship that was romantic, unethical, and a conflict of interest," the lawsuit says. "Otherwise, reasonable readers would conclude, The New York Times would never have printed the story at all."

The Times maintained its defense of the story in a statement Tuesday."

27 million reasons to thoroughly check your sources before you publish details about a sex scandal. Especially if it involves a Republican.

No one asked, but here's my advice: Hurry hurry, Miss Iseman! At the rate the NY Times is burning through the bucks, there may not be anything left to collect.
