Minnesota’s Grand Old Powerline

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

One of Minnesota’s top conservative bloggers, John Hinderacher, (not the real spelling but more accurate) makes this observation regarding the ex-Governor of Alaska:

“Palin has her faults, but she is a serious participant in the national dialogue on the key issues of our time. The New York Times and the Washington Post, in contrast, are frivolous rags with little or nothing of substance to offer.”

It doesn’t occur to John that like Rush Limbaugh Palin helps kill brain cells like when she exposed the foolishness of President Obama by tweeting, as John writes:

“Governor Palin, meanwhile, is engaged in much more substantial activity than the TMZ-like obsessions of the Times and the Post. On Facebook she writes, “Another ‘WTF’ Obama Foreign Policy Moment,” about the Obama administration’s perverse plan to share missile defense technology with Russia”

Yup. Only a pervert would do such a thing as offer missle technology to the Rooskies………Like Ronald Reagan did thirty years ago. Check the middle of the fourth paragraph from this page on the Reagan Library’s website.

Looks like Powerline is right up there with the Times and the Post except that no one puts it on newsprint. That frees it from being considered a rag.

The Ruskie’s started it

I was wrong. The Russians started it.

“Yes,” he said. “Absolutely. We’ve been trying to tell the world about this for months. If you go back and look at the archives you’ll see plenty of calls from the Georgian government saying they’re really worried. Even some Russian commentators agree that this is exactly what happened. Don’t forget, they sent in a lot of irregulars, Chechens, Cossacks, Ossetians, Ingush – basically thugs. Not normal Chechens or Ingush – thugs. Thugs out for a holiday. Many Western camera crews were robbed at gunpoint ten meters from Russian tanks while Russian commanders just stood there smoking their cigarettes while the irregulars…that happened to a Turkish TV crew. They’re lucky to still be alive. Some of the Georgians were picked up by the irregulars. If they happened to be female, they got raped. If they happened to be male, they got shot immediately, sometimes tortured. Injured people we have in hospitals who managed to get out have had arms chopped off, eyes gouged out, and their tongues ripped out.”
