Michelle Bernard has frequently been a guest over the last year or two on Hardball with Chris Matthews. I had always believed that she was a centrist until I recently stumbled upon factcheck.org this morning. The latest headline on factcheck.org is "A False Appeal to Women’s Fears: Republican-leaning group claims health care legislation could lead to 300,000 deaths from breast cancer, but uses old statistics, faulty logic and false insinuations." The group behind the latest smear on health care reform is the Independent Women's Forum. Michelle Bernard is the President and CEO of the IWF.

Just a couple of minutes ago, on Lou Dobbs tonight, Steve Malzberg said "Obama does not love this country" and Lou Dobbs failed to call him out on it. Joe Madison confronted Malzberg on what he said, and scolded Malzberg for saying that Obama hates America. Malzberg correctly pointed out that he did not say that Obama hates America, which was really just a deflection. He said that Obama does not love this country. Where do they get these clowns?

Now I would be willing to bet a couple hundred dollars (I'm a college student so I could not afford to lose even a hundred bucks) that Mike Huckabee is not anti-Semitic. But when I heard him praise Martin Luther on Hardball with Chris Matthews, I was pretty annoyed. MSNBC has not posted the transcript of today's show yet, so I'll try and provide one a rough transcript.

Matthews: It sound like... and I mean this with respect... it sounds like you're a bit of Martin Luther. You're a here or stand kind of guy.

Huckabee: That is a complement to me. Martin Luther is one of my theological heroes. And as a baptist to give praise to Martin Luther...

(There was some mumbling and interrupting going on, so this probably isn't perfect)

I do not even want to make this totally about Huckabee, since I don't think he's anti-Semitic, and because countless "pro-Semitic" Christians think of Martin Luther as some sort of hero. Not because he was anti-Semitic, but because of his role in the Protestant Reformation. But the fact that he is considered a hero by anyone really annoys me. I'm sure Huckabee's admiration of Luther was innocent, but still... Martin Luther was an awful human being.

The Romney campaign is currently ticked off about supposed push-polling in Iowa, which questions Mitt Romney's Mormon faith. Now I can see how he'd be mad about the push-polling, but what the heck does the guy expect? He has never answered really any questions on Mormonism that potential voters might have. Now I don't think that push-polling should be used at all in politics, but if Romney would just explain some of his positions regarding Mormonism this probably would not have happened.

Matt Rhoades from the Romney campaign stated that, "Whichever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and, to put it bluntly, un-American." While I don't condone push-polling, questioning a candidates Mormon faith is not a form of religious bigotry, and is not un-American.

There are some serious questions that Romney needs to answer. The LDS Church was officially racist until the late 70s, when the Church finally received a revelation that blacks should be able to enter their temples and even become priests. Mitt was a member of this organization while it was officially racist. He was in his early 30s when the Church finally changed their mind. Asking Mitt why he was a part of an organization that was officially racist is a totally fair question.

I usually try to avoid calling people who's political views and ideologies differ from me "evil". As much as I despise how President Bush runs our nation, I don't think you will ever hear me call the man "evil". Misguided? Yes. Delusion? Most likely. However, I try don't know if he's a horrible person. Maybe he's just completely ignorant and really thinks he's doing what's best for America. Who am I to say if a person is evil or if they are a sociopath? While I may refuse to call President Bush, Dick Cheney, and even Rush Limbaugh awful human beings, I have no problem calling Pat Robertson evil. Pat Robertson is a wicked human being. It's sad that many people are ignorant to the evil things that Robertson has done. It's even sadder that many who do know of the evil things he's done believe that he is a "great man of God". It's disgusting that his endorsement of Rudy Giuliani is considered to be huge for Rudy. I do not want to make this post repetitive, since I've seen some posts here talking about how ironic it is that "Mr. 9/11" himself would accept support from a man who blamed 9/11 on gays, secularists, and abortionists. That is very ironic, but there is so much more to good ol' Pat then that. Let's just put the Rudy/Robertson 9/11 irony aside for just a couple of minutes...

Many Christians believe that Christianity is under attack and that they are being persecuted, due to the sudden influx of atheist books. Christians should be terrified! After all, out of the 435 members of the United States House Of Representatives, 1 is an atheist! 1/435! Atheism is taking over the country! How many atheists are in the Senate? 0

Christianity isn't under attack. Atheism, agnosticism, and secular humanism have always been under attack. Atheism and agnosticism have always been under attack. When George H.W. Bush was running for President, he claimed that atheists should not even be considered citizens or patriots! Yes, as Bill Maher would say, if you don't believe that you have a long-term relationship with an all-powerful space daddy you are not a patriot!

I can't stand Ann Coulter, but I'm really glad that she came out and said that she wished that all Jews would be "perfected" by converting to Christianity. True followers of Christianity (those that believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and that everyone who doesn't accept Him will go to hell when they die) try to act as if they respect other religious beliefs (they generally do not try and make it seem as if they respect atheism). Jews are people of faith... Christians have a deep respect for Islam... Give me a break... Christians believe that Jews that don't accept eventually accept Jesus will burn in hell for all eternity. Christians believe that Muslims will burn in hell for believing that Jesus was a prophet and not the Son of God. Let's give Ann Coulter credit for once. At least Ann Coulter isn't just beating around the bush. She said what many Christians truly believe, but will not say in public.

I am in utter shock... My last diary was on the stupid, phony outrage in the media. Today, I found out the despicable thing that Barack Obama has done... He stopped wearing his American flag pin, or lapel pin, or whatever the heck you wan to call it! Oh the nerve... Oh, the horror!

Last night, on Hannity & Colmes, Kate Obenshain said that the absence of Obama's lapel is really hurting the morale of the troops. My feelings were crushed when I saw that Barack stopped wearing his American flag lapel. How could we vote for a man, like Obama, who hates America? Why don't we vote for Rudolph Giuliani, who can't get through a single sentence without saying "9/11"

Wow. After watching 45 minutes of the Sean Hannity Show (with Alan Colmes), I'm ready to gauge both of my eyeballs out. Does Sean Hannity ever make an arguement using anything other then an ad hominem? All of this phony outrage in the media is eating me alive. The Republicans set the standard for phony outrage with their 24/7 outrage over the MoveOn.org ad. The right's phony outrage towards MoveOn.org has forced the Democrats to show their outrage over the idiot Rush Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" comment. Damn you Republicans!

EDIT: I don't know why this is being labeled as a troll diary. I'm a registered democrat, and in the last election I voted for all democrats. I just don't think that the "Jena 6" should be talked about as if they are martyrs. They are being treated unfairly, because they never should have been tried for attempted murder. There should be a cry for equal justice in Jena, but that does not make these 6 young men heroes. I've heard people compare them to Rosa Parks or MLK, which is totally ridiculous. Rosa Parks protested inequality by refusing to sit at the back of a bus. MLK protested inequality by bringing people together in a peaceful way in an attempt to change the hearts and minds of America. The "Jena 6" jumped a white kid that had nothing to do with the noose incident in their school.

Before I begin, I'd just like to note that I can't stand hearing everyone using the term "Jena Six". The term "Jena Six" somehow implies that these boys are martyrs or even heroes. Now... It is pretty obvious that the town of Jena has some serious racial problems. The six black males on trial in Jena should not be charged with attempted murder. Their potential punishments may be severe and unfair. That does not mean that these kids should be glorified in the media.

Fox News' new "documentary", Victory Or Retreat: The Surge And Politics, made me sick to my stomach. The title of David Asman's "documentary" is pretty revealing. It is an attempt to give the impression that if we stay in Iraq we will definitely win, and if we retreat we will definitely lose. Can Congress decide if we are going to win this war? If we stay, will we definitely win? What does winning even mean? Is it actually possible that we can win, according to whatever your definition of winning is?

On the flip side the Democrats want to retreat. So in other words, if the Republicans stick to Bush's plan, victory is inevitable! But if the Democrats have their way, victory will be taken from us!...right...
