This is an official Obama/Biden Campaign commerical – Not a Superpac:

@1:01 – Paul Ryan’s views for the United States are viciously, and fiercely, anti-female….

This, from the same Obama/Biden ticket who proclaim:

“Look, the Taliban per se is not our enemy. That’s critical,” Biden said. “There is not a single statement that the president has ever made in any of our policy assertions that the Taliban is our enemy, because it threatens U.S. interests.”

(Via NewsBusters)  During live coverage of the Republican National Convention here in Tampa, Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David  Chalian provided the perfect example of the pervasive anti-Republican bias  Mitt Romney faces in his bid to unseat President Barack Obama.

In video broadcast Monday night by ABC and Yahoo over the Internet, David Chalian  can be heard claiming that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his wife  Ann are unconcerned about the fate of residents of the New Orleans area who are  currently being hit by Hurricane Isaac.

“They aren’t concerned at all, they are happy to  have a party when black people drown.”

Yahoo News Washington bureau chief David  Chalian

That line elicits laughter from several employees listening in on the  joke.

It sounds to me like a producer “sound over” from a production member in the audio feed.  A “live mike” behind the scenes at Fox News catches someone calling Sarah Palin a “zealot“?  Listen and decide for yourself.

Update: Brit Hume took to Twitter to claim the voice was his and the word is “salad.”

Hoping for the best for Louisiana and Mississippi Treepers; Y’all stay safe and check in when you can.  It definitely looks like the New Orleans area will be feeling the affects of wind, rain and storm surge for quite a while….

(OrlandoSentinel) “Dr. Phil” last season turned to the Casey Anthony story with several high-profile episodes featuring George and Cindy Anthony.

This season, the syndicated series will take up another Central Florida story: George Zimmerman, who is charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Travyon Martin. In a season preview clip, Dr. Phil McGraw asks two guests about Zimmerman. “Is he a racist? Is he a cowboy vigilante?” McGraw asks.

“Absolutely not,” says Mark Osterman, who describes himself as “the best friend of George Zimmerman, the most hated man in America.” McGraw notes that Osterman has never spoken out about Zimmerman. Osterman is a U.S. air marshal and former Seminole County deputy.

The new season starts Sept. 10. “Dr. Phil” airs at 3 p.m. weekdays on WOFL-Channel 35.

The “Dr. Phil” show, on its website, asks viewers: “Can you relate to George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin?” (more…)

Use this thread as an open thread just for Zimmerman Case stuff. A place to just dump, collect, or discuss general information about the Trayvon Martin VS George Zimmerman Case.

Hey, wha the….  Bounce Houses?…. Duuuude.

“I want to make sure that when the Republican Party loses, terribly to, in my opinion, the worst president in history, I want [them to know] it’s because they systematically shut out the most intelligent, most youthful and active voting bloc in American history,” said Ron Paul voter Mike Timoney.

(Via BigFurHat @iOTW)  All throughout the Paulbot invasion, armed only with their rudeness and delusions, I tried to tell the hot pocket brigade that the huge flaw in their system gaming was that the majority of the voters would have stomped them into small piles of Reynold’s Wrap if the popular votes were dismissed and the nomination was simply handed to Shaky McMerkins.
