Spotlight: “TheMouthPeace” on YouTube

September 28, 2008

I came across the user TheMouthPeace’s videos on Youtube recently, and he does an excellent job making sure they’re all facts and no hyperbole, supporting every conclusion he makes.
Here are two favorites of mine, a (somewhat long, but great) video talking about how Obama has been in bed with the loan companies that spurred […]

Obama trying to clamp a muzzle on Biden’s mouth

September 24, 2008

Apparently Biden’s been saying things that Obama’s not liking too much, and he’s trying to throw him on a leash and put a muzzle on him to get him to stop.

Biden has a bit of trouble remembering American history…

September 23, 2008

Jeez. First Obama doesn’t know how many states are in the US, now his running mate doesn’t know exactly when Franklin Delano Roosevelt (A Democrat, no less) was in office. This is taken from an interview that Biden did with Katie Couric last night:

Energy

This was my boss on the House floor from last week. One would think that the Congressman from Alaska would know a thing or two about energy, and specifically ANWR.

Obama urges supporters to LIE about his support of the 2nd Amendment

September 21, 2008

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.

“Gun-Ban” Biden makes a desperate (and uneducated) appeal to Gun Owners in VA

September 20, 2008

Aw, look at that! He’s wearing a hat. We all wear hats when we go shooting, right guys? He understands us! Surely he doesn’t want to unconstitutionally trample on our rights under the 2nd Amendment.

America’s Self-Defense Gallery - 9/16

September 17, 2008

Gunguys.com, One of my favorite anti-gun sites that I frequent (for laughs, of course) has a thing they typically do every week called “America’s Shooting Gallery” where they profile the horrors of gun violence, blatantly ignoring the millions of usages of firearms for lawful self-defense every year. I’m going to start posting weekly collections […]

Yet another page in the “Liberal Hypocrisy” book

September 15, 2008

If I had more time on my hands, I’d draw the Democratic-led 110th Congress’s approval rating on the chart with Bush’s line, but I don’t think the authors of the video would approve of such an addition, as it would be a steady 20 points below Bush’s, barely climbing into the double digits.
