Congressman John Shadegg Uses Chief-Of-Staff’s Daughter As Prop

Arizona GOP Congressman John Shadegg held seven-months-old Maddie Thompson, the daughter of Chief of Staff Kristen Thompson, to attack Democrats and argue against health care reform. Shadegg bellowed, “Maddie believes in freedom.” (Note: some stories are claiming Maddie is Shadegg’s granddaughter, but is actually the daughter of his chief-of-staff.)

“Maddy believes in freedom,” Mr. Shadegg said, as his granddaughter chief-of-staff’s daughter reached toward the microphone. “Maddy likes America because we have freedom.”

He added, “She came here to say she doesn’t want the government to take over health care … She doesn’t want a health care bill that …

Jews Speak Out Against Disgusting Tea Party Images

The continual comparisons of Obama to Hitler and health care reform to Nazi policies reached its nadir at Thursday’s anti-reform tea party rally on Capitol Hill.  One sign read, “National Socialist Health Care: Dachau, Germany – 1945.” Another said, “Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds [sic],” a reference to the famous Jewish banking family often implicated in conspiracy theories.  Elie Wiesel’s foundation had a strong response on its Twitter page:

Think Progress notes other reactions:

The National Jewish Democratic Council also criticized the “vile invocations of Nazi and Holocaust rhetoric” and called out GOP leaders …

Health Care Vote Held Up By Abortion Opponents

But there could be a vote Saturday if they get over the abortion hurdle.

According to Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, he and other abortion opponents will be given a chance to insert tougher abortion restrictions into the legislation during debate on the House floor.

The issue is whether federal funds will pay for abortions.

House Rules Committee Chairwoman Louise Slaughter said she expected the rule-setting guidelines for the healthcare debate would incorporate anti-abortion language proposed by Representative Brad Ellsworth, a moderate Democrat.

His amendment would prohibit the use of federal funds to cover abortions and …

Wingut Of The Day: Jerome Corsi, For Trying To Tie Hasan To Obama

Swift Boat enabler and Obama basher Jerome Corsi is portraying accused Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan as a transition team adviser to President Obama.

The Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University published a document May 19, entitled “Thinking Anew – Security Priorities for the Next Administration: Proceedings Report of the HSPI Presidential Transition Task Force, April 2008 – January 2009,” in which Hasan of the Uniformed Services University School of Medicine is listed on page 29 of the document as a Task Force Event Participant.

Corsi tries to make his case by saying Hasan “attended meetings” of …

Suspected Fort Hood Shooter Called “Camel Jockey” By Military Colleagues

Nidal Malik Hasan was harassed by his fellow soldiers and was called names like “camel jockey.”  Ironically, Hasan was suffering from the same kind of stress he was trained to treat.

Hasan is an American citizen of Palestinian descent and after the 9/11 attacks, his cousin says he was the target of constant harassment from others in the military. His tormentors called him a “camel jockey,” said his cousin, Nader Hasan. He wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.

Nader Hasan believes that what ultimately set his cousin …

Tea Partiers Protesting Government Health Care Receive Government Health Care

A GOP-led tea party protest in DC Thursday portrays the participants as out-of-touch, politically ignorant, and infantile.  And while they were marching around with signs and banners comparing the effort to provide health care to Hitler’s Holocaust, a number of them had to be medically treated…by government health care.

Many of the demonstrators chanted “Weasel Queen,” their pet name for the speaker of the House. Others wore masks of Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.); they were covered in fake blood and carrying dolls representing aborted fetuses, as the Grim Reaper led them in chains to hell.…

Unemployment at 10.2 Percent

There are 15.7 million Americans who can’t find jobs.

The Labor Department said Friday that jobless rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983, from 9.8 percent in September. The economy shed a net total of 190,000 jobs in October, less than the downwardly revised 219,000 lost in September, but more than economists expected.

Economists say it could go as high as 10.5% next year if employers are reluctant to hire.…

Former Hasan Co-Worker Says He Was Angry About War In Iraq

Colonel Terry Lee, who worked at Fort Hood with Major Nidal Malik Hasan, spoke with Fox News’s Shepard Smith. He says Hasan believed we shouldn’t be in Iraq, and became increasingly agitated about our involvement there.  Lee says Hasan made comments about how Muslims needed to stand up to the aggressor, and seemed almost happy when there was a shooting at a recruiting office in Little Rock that resulted in one death and one injury.  Lee says Hasan was trying to get his deployment to Iraq canceled.
