Obama was heckled today by AIDS activists during a speech in Connecticut. In response, Obama said, "we're funding global aids, the other side is not..."
Well, that's not quite true. George Bush is highly esteemed in Africa for his funding of AIDS programs. The funding was so significant, 60 Minutes described it as "momentous".
Watch CBS News Videos Online
Obama seemed to have his hands full as he tried settle-down people in the auditorium. Kind of like a judge repeatedly banging the gavel and yelling, "Order in court!"
EXIT QUESTION: Did Obama's appearance on the Jon Stewart show (and others like it) reduce his stature even among the faithful?

Joy Behar raises money for Sharon Angle
By now you've probably heard about Behar's latest outburst - this time against Sharon Angle. Certainly if any conservative had spewed such vitriol against a liberal, they would would have lost their job by now.
Well as it turns out, that little outburst netted Sharon Angle an extra $137,000 in campaign contributions. To say thanks, Angle sent Behar a bouquet of flowers. Now who's classy?
... and Joy graciously accepts, or not so much. Remember, this is the lady (along with Whoopi) who stormed off the set because of O'Reilly's "offensive" comments. The lack of self-awareness is breathtaking.

What! Clooney defends conservatives
George Clooney is a big Hollywood Leftist. No doubt about it. But even he stopped Bill Maher in his tracks as he began another one of his ill-informed rants on conservatives.

NPR: Fair and Balanced?
This recent dust-up with NPR started long ago. I'm surprised Williams and Liasson have lasted this long. It will be interesting to see how Liasson responds... or doesn't respond.
*Repost*
Did NPR pressure reporter to end association with Fox News? Apparently so, according to Politico. Donor and tax payer funded National Public Radio (heard locally at KUOR 89.1 and KPCC 89.3) put pressure on Mara Liasson to end her association with Fox News during the White House boycott of the news organization.
Of course, this is not the first time NPR and Fox News have locked horns. News analyst Juan Williams has also had his share of blow-back from NPR listeners and critics for his association with Fox News. He was heavily criticized for his interview with then-President George W. Bush.
In another story that reveals how the wheels turn in the MSM, veteran reporter John Stossel, who recently left ABC for Fox News, discussed his contentious history at ABC and the difficulties he had getting projects to air on his former network.

Juan's biggest mistake
Of course, it's big news that Juan Williams has been fired by NPR for his recent comments:
Juan's biggest mistake is that he didn't say something to disparage Christians. Because you can say pretty much anything about Christians and no one in the MSM even bats an eye as the following examples illustrate:
Tavis Smiley is convinced that Christians are a far greater terrorist threat than radical Islamists. In fact, he claims that Christians in America are engaged in terrorist activities everyday. I wonder what would have happened if he made the same claim about Muslims.
Of course, this is not the first time we've heard this kind of nonsense.
It even comes from places you wouldn't expect. If Charles Barkley had made these comments about any other group of people, he would no longer be a sportscaster or pitchman. At least not without the appropriate public scourging and apology tour.

Incoherent Barbara Boxer
Barbara Boxer is not used to having her claims challenged so she feels free to make completely absurd statements. But in this segment, even Wolf Blitzer has to question her math. Then the comedy really begins.

Fireworks on the View
Whoopi and Joy stormed off the set today because O'Reilly had the audacity to say that Muslims were responsible for the attacks on 9/11.
UPDATE:
During her weekly appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, Laura Ingraham chronicles all of the bigoted statements Joy Behar has made against Catholics and Christians.
...and meanwhile, somewhere in a parallel universe, Joy Behar defends herself and looks to 9/11 truther, Jessie Ventura for support. So, what O'Reilly said (besides being true) was highly offensive to Ms. Behar, but believing that 9/11 was an inside job by the Bush administration is completely acceptable.

Shameless
Why Gloria Allred is not simply dismissed and ignored based on her history of baseless accusations is beyond me. It seems that she is always on the hunt for useful idiots with the over-the-top rhetoric and public drama. At least here, she is appropriately taken to the woodshed by Greta Van Susteren.
You might also remember that Allred basically called Pam Tebow a liar during the controversy over the pro-life Super Bowl spot in which she appeared with her son, Tim Tebow.
