Barack Obama Watch: The “My Muslim Faith” Gaffe

George Stephanopoulos of ABC News jumps right in to correct Barack Obama as Obama gaffes his way into admitting he is a Muslim, Flap means Christian.
The video clip below shows the futility of Obama to correct the obvious mistake in words and to cast off aspersion in the smear of Sarah Palin by left wing blogs.

As 9/11 Approaches American Al Qaeda’s Adam Gadahn Death Rumors Continue
Adam Gadahn as featured on the FBI’s Most Wanted List
As 9/11 approaches this Thursday, again rumors are surfacing that the America’s most visible member of Al Qaeda has been killed.
Months of attacks by unmanned US predator aircraft have caused carnage among the middle ranks of terrorist leaders in the lawless lands along the border with Afghanistan, where al-Qa’eda remains dangerous despite suffering a serious defeat in Iraq.
Their victims have included experienced Arab leaders and, it is now thought, Adam Gadahn, a former heavy-metal fan and so-called “killer computer nerd” originally from California. Nothing has been heard from him for months, leading intelligence experts to conclude that he may be dead.
Mr Gadahn has been credited with helping transform al-Qa’eda’s al-Sahab propaganda wing into a slick operation which communicates in fluent English and produces professional quality DVDs, including one for Osama bin Laden last year.
But he may have fallen victim to an expanded programme of predator assassinations which in the last year has targeted and killed many of al-Qa’eda’s military commanders, terrorist trainers and facilitators.
So, who knows?
Perhaps Gadahn will surface like he did in January this year in the video depicted below: Al Qaeda’s Adam Gadahn Threatens President Bush as Bush visits the Middle East and rips up his American passport, January 6, 2008
Perhaps, Adam Gadahn has QUIT Al Qaeda or been demoted to front line suicide bomber. In any event, Americans will remember his support of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden and should he resurface pursue him like the treasonous criminal he is.
Stay tuned……

Barack Obama to Break Bread with Bill Clinton and Clear the Air?
This graphic pronouncement came up on Drudge just as Hillary was about to deliver her speech at the Democrat National Convention
Does Barack Obama REALLY think this meeting with Bill Clinton will mean anything? Obama has been trumped by John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin and he is in trouble with working class women. Hence, the meeting, no?
And, Obama characterized Bill as a racist during the primary election season. Plus, Obama REALLY did not help retire the Clinton’s campaign debt.
Hillary and Bill Clinton will do NOTHING for you , Barack - except help you lose.

Day By Day by Chris Muir September 7, 2008 - “You Get What You Earn”
Day By Day by Chris Muir
Is anyone amazed at the hellish personal attacks and desperate antics by the left blogosphere and the MSM on Alaska Governor Sarah Palin?
The smears come two or three a day per news cycle. Most are outlandish bullshit but are being picked up by local television stations (for example KNBC, Los Angeles who takes their politcal news from Obama Campaign and Daily Kos talking points) and the newspapers, like the Los Angeles Times. Looks like most of the right blogospheres work the next 60 days will be to knocking down these outlandish rumors.
But, why is the LEFT so desperate?
A good answer by the former Mayor of San Francisco Willie Brown - “The Democrats are in trouble…”

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!!!
“He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it." ~Douglas Adams~
Time is money and no one feels like they have enough of either these days. I recently corresponded with a hygienist who is worried because she can't seem to get her patients finished in under an hour. She was wondering if it was ok to leave stain and plaque on the teeth if she got sub-gingival calculus off. Where are we in our thinking if we have a dedicated hygienist thinking that she has to weigh the least offensive way to leave a prophy uncompleted in the effort to finish in under 60 minutes?
We've gotten to the point in some dental practices where we look at our staff members and patients as production numbers. One hygienist times ten prophies a day, equals the hygienists worth to the practice? Is it worth it to hire another assistant? Will she make up for her salary in production? Never mind that the sole assistant is working herself into early burn out and going home and collapsing on the couch with no energy left to live a normal life. As a dentist, do you feel an urgency to beat your productions numbers from the year before every year and do you run yourself into the ground, or raise your fees to a point that patients are leaving, to do it? What kind of life is that? Who's enjoying it? Remember, in the end, we all end. It's what happens in the middle that counts. It's your life, and you have the ability to make it enjoyable.
That hygienist got me thinking about what her day must be like. I thought about how her concern about fitting her work into a time period that doesn't fit her, may affect her interactions with her patients. Speed doesn't always equal efficiency because it doesn't allow for the personal aspect. I'd rather have a hygienist take a little longer because she is inspecting every surface and groove on every tooth rather than writing her grocery list in her head as she works. In other words, I'd rather have a hygienist who works with intention and takes a little longer, than one who skims over every tooth with a hit or miss approach and then shrugs when the dentist pulls a hunk of chicken out of an interproximal and pointedly wipes it onto the patient napkin. I want the hygienist with a mission, not the hygienist whose only mission is to get done and out on time. I'll give the first hygienist more time because in the end she's going to educate our patients and be a partner in co-discovery with the dentist, bringing the patient into the process.
Hurrying makes an impact on the atmosphere of the office. I'm not saying that you should act as if you and your patients have all day either. Efficiency, according to Webster, means being productive of desired effects. When you look at yourself and your staff, decide what the effect is that you desire from yourself and them. Look at each individual and decide if they can do what you need them to do. Then see what they need to be able to perform well and weigh that against the value you and your patients will receive from them having that. If you have to expect a hygienist to see nine patients instead of ten, the production lost from that one appointment may be more than made up for in the quality of her work, the satisfaction of the patient from the experience, the treatment she may help the patient understand and want, and the word of mouth advertising that nine pleased patients a day will produce. Production numbers can't always be written down on paper. A smart person knows that there's more to it than ink on paper. It's the feelings that are generated, the good will that's created and the satisfaction in doing a worthy thing well, without angst that let's you close the door quietly behind you at the end of the day. It's having energy and spirit to enjoy the life that waits on the other side of that door that is the biggest benefit.

Sarah Palin Watch: Conan O’Brien Tells Crude Joke About Bristol Palin
Crease
Uploaded by luvnews Conan O’Brien on NBC’s Late Night
Flap has never cared for Conan O’Brien’s humor which ranges from stupid to moronic. Here he crosses the line and shows his Lefty bias with a personal attack on a seventeen year old girl whose mother just happens to be a conservative Republican candidate for Vice President.
Now, this would not have anything to do with NBC News propensity to be Left-Wing or the fact that O’Brien is a Democrat, now would it?
Talk about transparency.

Sarah Palin Called Obama “Sambo” and HIllary a “Bitch”
Remember the Joe Lieberman Black-Face Flap?
The latest smear against Sarah Palin is reminiscent of Left-Wing Jane Hamsher’s smear of Joe Lieberman in 2006.
Tons of readers are sending the latest, most pathetic smear against Gov. Sarah Palin.
It is laughable beyond belief.
One “Charley James” accuses Palin of exclaiming the following after Obama defeated Hillary:
“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
Read the entire “investigative report” here, which comes off like a really, really bad Onion parody.
A laughable, unsubstantiated claim but one that has to be answered as bull shit.
And, there will be many claims which will continue to come until election day.
Remember it was the LEFT that smeared Joe Lieberman in 2006. Remember it well.

John McCain Watch: Obama Trashed Flags Rescued by McCain - Palin
John McCain supporters wave flags that were allegedly found at the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance address, September 6, 2008
This story cannot be good for the Democrats, especially in the battleground state of Colorado.
Democrats are not caring for their Stars and Stripes. At least that’s the message out of John McCain’s campaign.
McCain supporters, claiming they rescued 12,000 miniature American flags from the site of Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday, redistributed the orphan flags to audience members ahead of a McCain campaign rally in Colorado Springs Saturday.
They say the flags were recovered from Invesco Field in Denver after the conclusion of the Democratic National Convention. A vendor supposedly discovered trash bags full of flags in and nearby dumpsters, and turned them over to the McCain campaign.
The original story coming out of Denver about the discarded flags is here.
Fox News is now reporting that a response from the Democrat Party implies that the flags were stolen or misappropriated by the GOP.
The Obama rally flags which were heading to the garbage?
Stay tuned as this story grows legs.

Dentist The Source of Medical Waste On A NJ Beach
WYNNEWOOD, Pa. - September 4, 2008 - (WPVI) — There is a strong indication that the 150 syringes and pieces of medical waste that washed up on the beaches in Avalon, New Jersey two weekends ago were dumped by a Main Line dentist.
According to a search warrant, police say Dr. Thomas McFarland, of Wynnewodd, admitted to Avalon police Tuesday that he dumped the medical waste in Townsend Inlet between Sea Isle City and Avalon.
McFarland owns a house on the canal in Avalon Manor.
The court document indicates he used a small boat docked behind the house to take the waste out and dump it.
Read and watch the video on the medical waste incident.

Sarah Palin Watch: Heart Says Don’t Play “Barracuda”
Anne (L) and Nancy Wilson of Heart perform at the ‘Idol Gives Back’ show at the Kodak theatre in Hollywood, California April 6, 2008. The rock group Heart, angry that its 70’s hit ‘Barracuda’ is being used as the unofficial theme song for Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, is biting back at the Alaska governor.
Heart (Anne and Nancy Wilson) have asked Team McCain and Sarah Palin to stop playing their song “Barracuda.” Barracuda was the nickname of the Alaska Governor when she played basketball.
The ’80s rock band Heart is not happy about John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin using their song “Barracuda” at the Republican National Convention. (When the Alaska governor was a high school basketball champ, her teammates nicknamed her “Sarah Barracuda.)
“The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission. We have asked the Republican campaign publicly not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored,” the band said in a statement on Thursday.
But after McCain finished his speech accepting the GOP’s presidential nomination on Thursday night, Palin joined him on stage, and the song was used for the second time.
“I think it’s completely unfair to be so misrepresented,” Heart’s Nancy Wilson told EW.com after the speech. “I feel completely f—ed over.” She and sister Ann Wilson then e-mailed the following statement to EW:
“Sarah Palin’s views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song ‘Barracuda’ no longer be used to promote her image. The song ‘Barracuda’ was written in the late 70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The ‘barracuda’ represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there’s irony in Republican strategists’ choice to make use of it there.”
Sheesh. Sarah Palin and the McCain campaign are not Al Qaeda.
As Flap said about the same damn thing when Jackson Browne sued the McCain campaign over his song “Running on Empty”: The danger for the LEFT in pursuing this tactic is for the RIGHT to organize boycotts of certain artists’ music.
Look what happened to Linda Ronstadt when she mixed politics and her performance in Las Vegas. There were massive walkouts during her performance and her gig was cancelled. Flap knows many Republicans who have long memories about artists who do hold political grudges.
And, the funny thing is that the Wilson sisters are making a ton of money on the re-emergence of their 1970’s song. Look at the charts from Amazon. At the time of this posting on Amazon.com, the song was the 97th most popular single MP3 download.
You would think from a purely business sense they would desire the free promotion Sarah Palin would give them.
Flap saw Heart at the Universal Amphitheater earlier this year. The tickets were given to Mrs. Flap by a mutual friend because they did not sell out the arena. Next time, Flap won’t bother - even for free.

Sarah Palin Watch: Readers Dumping Us Magazine Over Palin Cover
Us Magazine is in trouble with subscribers angry over the above Us magazine cover. In fact, thousands are cancelling their subscriptions.
Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it.
Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue.
“I’m hearing it’s 5,000, maybe more,” says one well-placed source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions.
Is this surprising? The cover is biased crap that has no basis in reality. Why would anyone want to “PAY” to read this magazine.
Michelle Malkin has reader letters canceling their subscriptions and responses by Us Magazine desperately begging readers to stay.
Flap says Us Magazine readers must keep up the good work and cancel their subscriptions.
Now, about Oprah?
