This was a lousy attempt at speaking truth to power

Considering there are at least two top officials who have openly praised communist mass murderer Mao Tse Tung in public then it would make sense that they felt this way about the pro-free market Republicans.
obamao
There’s a reason the shops are displaying Oba-Moa shirts in their windows a few blocks from the White House.

White House top advisor Valerie Jarrett blamed “the extremists in the Republican Party leadership” for ousting Daily Kos candidate Dede Scozzafava from the NY-23 race.
Huh?
The Politico reported:

White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the rise of a Conservative Party challenger in a closely watched upstate New York House election shows that the Republican Party leadership is “becoming more and more extreme, and more and more marginalized.”

“It’s rather telling when the Republican Party forces out a moderate Republican and it says, I think, a great deal about where the Republican Party leadership is right now,” Jarrett said when asked about the GOP candidates’ decision to suspend her campaign, making it more likely the Conservative will win Tuesday’s special election.
On other issues, Jarrett told host George Stephanopoulos that she sees “a great deal of momentum … on heath care,” and said the White House does not view the decision of Abdullah Abdullah, Afghanistan’s leading opposition candidate, to withdraw from a Nov. 7 runoff.

So was Jarrett even following the race or was she just being dishonest on purpose?
Scozzafava was, of course, the GOP leadership’s candidate.
The GOP (and Daily Kos) endorsed her.

She dropped out because the New York voters rejected her not because the GOP leadership rejected her.
What a ridiculous argument.

More… Backwards Boy added:

This is what you get when you elect an anti-American as president: a psychological war that never ends. If you hold traditional American views, you are the enemy. If you believe in limited government and individual self-rule and self control, you’re a “right wing extremist”.

    Extremists, extremists. Used to be one of Al Gore’s favorite words for anyone who disagreed with the elites of the Donk party. Looks like that is the talking point of the week once again. Don’t try to offer why you think they are wrong, just call them extremists, Nazis, fascists etc.

    Doesn’t it feel great when the likes of Axelrod, Emanuel and Jarrett are deciding policy? To bad Blago got thrown under the bus, he’d be another good advisor.

    There are so many holes in Valerie Jarret’s statement as to make it merely a product of drug use. The Republican Party didn’t force her out, Scozzofava’s not a moderate and it’s the “progressives” that are the extremists, not conservatives. But, this is what you get when you elect an anti-American as president: a psychological war that never ends. If you hold traditional American views, you are the enemy. If you believe in lmited government and individual self-rule and self control, you’re a “right wing extremist”.

    We’re “more and more extreme” because we believe in the ideals of our Founding Fathers, yet we have people in charge who praise Mao, a man who killed more people than Hitler, who stand up for for people who break their own constitutions (Zelaya), who appoint truther Communists, who sit in churches that praise black nationalism (an ideology held by the Marxist group Black Panthers), and who constantly berate private citizens (cut to a picture of Obama laughing while Sykes dreams of Limbaugh’s kidneys failing)? And the list of extremities can go on and on….

    “Look” – to quote the President – whatever is said by this administration – the truth is the opposite. What is real sad is that there are so many folks that still do not understand that. How could a Democrat win any election with the current display of corruption, incompetence and unconstitutional activity going on? How can it even be close? Incredible!

    The real showdown will come as Obama attempts to shut down Fox News and Limbaugh. Even the msm will balk at that because even those morons will get scared. Obama thinks he can dictate to the people, he is wrong. We really are getting dangerously close to a Communist Dictatorship. But Obama’s ability to enforce his dictates will collapse as the Oathkeepers come into play and his unconstitutional orders are ignored.

    Obama? an anti-American? What a bunch of foolish paranoid drivel. Next we’ll be told that Obama is some kind of Manchurian Candidate brainwashed by the Kenyan secret service to overthrow traditional American values like throwing out the first pitch at the World Series. I just love trolling through Gateway Pundit. It has replaced weekly World News as the best source of humor on the net.

    Read this about visitors to the White House. Read the spin from MSNBC:
    We are to believe Obama knows two people named Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Michael Moore, and Angela Davis? Uh huh.

    Not that Bill Ayers
    The White House warns that many names that may appear familiar — and controversial — do not in fact refer to the most famous people to carry those names. Jeremiah Wright is on the list, but it’s not the president’s former pastor. This Michael Jordan is not the basketball player. This Michael Moore is not a filmmaker. The William Ayers who took a group tour of the White House isn’t the former radical from Chicago who figured so prominently in the 2008 campaign. And the Angela Davis on the list has a different middle initial than the activist and former fugitive.

    aprilnovember. The Barry Hussein Obama isn’t the same one either. In fact no one is who we think they are. David Axelrod runs a Jewish Deli in Jersey City and Kevin Jennings is a Dentist in Colorado. Even the Michelle Robinson Obama is not he same one.
    It’s all our imagination.

    Your question should also go the Mr. Stephanopoulos – have you been sleeping under a rock all this time, George. As an interviewer, you should have pointed out that Jarrett’s claim was bunk on the face of it – the Republican party picked the RINO, not the conservative.

    Does he actually get paid, or are his checks considered political contributions?

    Gosh, the dems must be really scared about 2010. I have never seen them go so far out of their way in trashing the GOP. Either that or this is Chicago politices at its finest. Like so many matters dealing with Obama and his administration, I cannot be sure which it is. But then, it could be a little of both. Maybe this administration took notice of the 9/12 march on Washington when they didn’t take notice of it.

    Lorenzo,

    The Constitution doesn’t give the guvmint power to control people’s lives or property, or to close down media outlets, e.g., FOX even if they reveal Obama’s fascist agenda and lies.

    Chains and Slavery.

    Some friendly advice: Cut off the pony tail. If you own a car, scrape off the Obama and “9/11 was an inside job” bumper stickers. Take any such pins off your school bag.

    Peace and Life.

    Smoking gun that obama has no problem with the genocidal maniac Mao.

    http://a12iggymom.vox.com/library/post/obama-pal-mike-klonsky-another-mao-worshiper-along-with-anita-dunn-and-ron-bloom.html

    Klonsky is an unabashed communist whose current mission is to spread Marxist ideology in the American classroom. Obama funded him to the tune of nearly $2 million. Obama, moreover, gave Klonsky a broad platform to broadcast his ideas: a “social justice” blog on the official Obama campaign website. The issue is that Obama promoted and collaborated with these anti-American radicals. The issue is that he shared their ideology.

    Klonsky’s communist pedigree could not be clearer. His father, Robert Klonsky, was an American communist who was convicted in the mid-Fifties for advocating the forcible overthrow of the United States government — a violation of the Smith Act, anti-communist legislation ultimately gutted by the Supreme Court. In the Sixties, Klonsky the younger teamed with Ayers, Dohrn, and other young radicals to form the Students for a Democratic Society. It was out of the SDS that Ayers and Dohrn helped found the Weatherman terrorist group.Klonsky took a different path, albeit one that led inexorably to a new partnership with Ayers, which Obama mightily helped underwrite. Upon splitting off from the SDS, Klonsky formed a Maoist organization, first known as the “October League,” which ultimately became the “Communist Party (Marxist Leninist).”

    Klonsky was CP(ML)’s chairman. He was so highly thought of by Mao’s regime that he was among the first Americans invited to visit Communist China. When he was feted there in 1977, a year after Mao’s death, the communist leadership hailed Klonsky’s party as “reflecting the aspirations of the proletariat and working people.”

    No surprise: h/t Accuracy in Media:

    An Accuracy in Media investigation determined that, like Free Press, Van Jones’ career was carefully assisted by a lot of George Soros cash.

    I read a couple of blogs where David Axelrod is the great grandson of Trosky; since lost. I did some bio but can’t get past his mother (Myril)working at a communist newspaper PM (Picture Magazine) 1940-1948 NYC. His father was a psychiatrist and committed suicide. Could be just false info.

    Has anyone here any info?
