5. Bristol Palin— After coming to national attention as the daughter of one-time Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Bristol has made a name for herself as a thoughtful book author and blogger for Patheos.com. There, she writes inspired posts about faith and family. 

Say what?

So Bristol gets honored for having somebody else write her book and blog under her name?

Here was the blurb with which Newsmax started this article: 

While the face of the conservative movement is often associated with nationally recognized officeholders, there is in fact a large number of young men and women working hard every day to forge the future of the movement. 

Gathered below are the names of 30 influential Republicans 30 and under who are making strides to bolster the values near and dear to the heart of the movement. 

Now this is Newsmax so nobody should fault them too much for their lack of intelligence.

I mean seriously.

However one has to wonder how getting drunk and attacking a homeowner and attempting to trap a MOH winner into marrying you forges the future of the conservative movement?

Just asking.

Bristol Palin's ghostwriter attempts to damn abortion using outdated attacks on founder of Planned Parenthood, while Bristol provides more ammunition for Levi Johnston's upcoming custody case.

Do you guys watch Patricia Heaton’s great show The Middle? 

Well, she’s one of the only Hollywood stars who has the guts to speak out against abortion. 

Last week, Heaton shared a National Review article about how more black babies are aborted than born in New York City. Alec Torres writes: 

In 2012, black women in New York City aborted over 6,500 more children than they gave birth to. Data from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene shows that, among non-hispanic black women, there were 31,328 “induced terminations” to 24,758 live births, according to a CNS News report. 

Heaton tweeted this article, by adding: “Margaret Sanger gets her wish.” Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood and actually believed in ethnic cleansing. 

I’m so proud of Patricia for having the courage to speak out against the evils of abortion! 

Ah yes, the old Margaret Sanger was a racist, therefore Planned Parenthood hates black people approach. I thought after Herman Cain got shamed for using this that the conservatives might leave it alone.

Here is the quote, in context, that allows conservatives to use this line of attack: 

Sanger, who was arrested several times in her efforts to bring birth control to women in the United States, set up her first clinic in Brooklyn in 1916. In the late 1930s, she sought to bring clinics to black women in the South, in an effort that was called the "Negro Project." Sanger wrote in 1939 letters to colleague Clarence James Gamble that she believed the project needed a black physician and black minister to gain the trust of the community. 

Sanger says that a minister could debunk the notion, if it arose, that the clinics aimed to "exterminate the Negro population." She didn't say that she wanted to "exterminate" the black population. The Margaret Sanger Papers Project at New York University says that this quote has "gone viral on the Internet," normally out of context, and it "doesn't reflect the fact that Sanger recognized elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow south, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim."

In other words, while Sanger was trying to deliver control of the female reproduction system to women, regardless of ethnicity or social standing, she was cognizant of the fact that she as a white woman could be seen as encouraging genocide among the black community.

Funny how seeing things in context pretty much changes everything about what the Right wants you to believe about them, don't you think?

Here's what else I find interesting about the conservative's love for this attempt to smear Planned Parenthood.

On the one hand they want to vilify Planned Parenthood for killing black babies, but then on the other hand they want to condemn black mothers for having so many babies in order to defraud Federal welfare programs out of millions of dollars, the so-called "Welfare Queen" scenario that Ronald Reagan made popular.

You would think that you could not argue one side while also arguing the other, but of course that's because you are not a Right Wing lunatic.

Speaking of lunatics, everybody's favorite terrible mother has been helping Levi with his court case, first by posting this video of Tripp laughing hysterically at the use of some mildly inappropriate language.

And then with this montage that Joey Junker put up of Tripp and Bristol playing house with the latest trial daddy.

The caption said "Miss my little fam just a few more weeks."

Now these on their own would not be a big deal, but placed alongside footage of Tripp using inappropriate language on the reality show, and Bristol kicking Gino Paoletti out of her car while assuring Tripp she would get him a new daddy, it certainly doesn't help.

I mean yes of course it DOES help, but it's certainly not her that it helps.

P.S. By the way Patricia Heaton is the reason I can't watch reruns of "Everybody Loves Raymond" anymore.

White supremacist, and recurring guest on CNN and Nancy Grace, says that "The only time a black life is validated is when a white man kills him." Well, isn't that special.

Audio of outrageous comments made by Frank Taaffe, on a weekly podcast called ‘Stand Our Ground,’ prove that in spite of denials to the contrary, Taaffe is a full blown white supremacist. Taaffe’s podcast was produced and distributed by ‘The White Voice Network.‘ 

Here are just a few of Taaffe’s podcast comments: 

‘The only time a black life is validated is when a white man kills him.’ 

“That minority group, they don’t do anything productive for this country, except for the NBA.” 

“If it wasn’t for the NBA Joe like I always say, the country would have the tallest garbage men. Thank God for the NBA.” 

“I always say if you lie down with dogs, you’re going to get up with fleas – especially if they’re black dogs.” 

“Yeah she’s a nigg** (Oprah Winfrey). She keeps spewing out all that bullshit. She Keeps defending her boy Obama, who can do no wrong. You know it’s birds of a feather they flock together and stick together and to me she’s a NIGG**, Oprah Winfrey is a NIGG**.”

Seriously which respectable news outlet would put this guy on their show.

Well apparently quite a few, including Dr. Drew, CNN, and Nancy Grace.

Why? Well as it turns out he is apparently a friend of George Zimmerman.  

Taaffe, supposedly a neighbor and close friend of George Zimmerman, became a regular on cable TV stations during the Zimmerman trial. He is best known for his many appearances on CNN and HLN’s ‘Nancy Grace,’ and ‘Dr. Drew.’ As a guest on the Nancy Grace show, Taaffe argued in defense of George Zimmerman, during the Trayvon Martin murder trial.

A "close friend"  to George Zimmerman? Now why doesn't that surprise me?

Now you would think, considering what a pig this guy is, that after the Zimmerman trial this guy would be cut lose immediately. But you would be wrong.  

Even after the Zimmerman trial ended, however, cable programs continue to give Taaffe air time. During the trial of Michael Dunn, a white man, who, like Zimmerman, shot and killed an unarmed black teenager, Taaffe was invited on cable tv shows, to share his views on the Dunn case.

Gee I wonder what a white supremacist believes about a man who shot an unarmed teenager over the issue of loud music?

It is pretty much what you would expect:

Taaffe's task is defending Dunn, who shot 17-year-old Jordan Davis outside of a Jacksonville gas station after arguing with the teen and his friends over loud music. Dunn claims he saw Davis holding what looked like a shotgun and that he fired at the boys in self-defense, but witnesses maintain that Davis was unarmed. On air, Taaffe has argued that the killing was justified, even if Davis wasn't pointing a firearm, because young black men are prone to violence. 

Yes of course "everybody" knows that black men are violent, so apparently simply shooting them dead  to prevent that violence from occurring makes perfect sense.

Frank Taaffe, was the man that George Zimmerman stayed with while he was waiting to be arrested for the shooting of Trayvon Martin, and he was the one that he asked to go to the media and speak on his behalf.

I think that speaks volumes as to who Gerorge Zimmerman is, and how he views people like Trayvon Martin.

Jon Stewart lays the smackdown on Nancy Grace over her coverage of the Duke rape case.
