White House polls don't count, Ken. They tend to be skewed in fav of O and therefore against average Americans.

RACIAL BLACKMAIL: Maxine Waters Hammers NBC Over Minority Hiring by John Nolte There’s something absurdly satisfying about watching leftists attack other leftists using leftist tactics. NBC is just now discovering that their ObamaVision push last year coupled with their obtuse propaganda arm over at NBC News and MSNBC made them the perfect target for a racial demagogue like Rep. Maxine Waters. NBC bending over when it comes to all things PC and Obama probably had them under the mistaken impression that their appeasement would satisfy Leftist Bullies like Waters, when all it really does is invite more bullying. 84750931AW002_CONGRESSIONAL Comcast and NBC want to merge. This is a very big deal that will require much government blessing and Waters is using the opportunity to her fullest advantage to push what can only be described as a racist agenda that demands individuals at NBC be hired based on the color of their skin. Paul Bond at the Hollywood Reporter: “How many of the executive producers for your 2010 fall lineup are minorities?” [Rep. Waters] asked Paula Madison, executive vp of diversity at NBC Uni. Sorry to interrupt but… “Executive VP of Diversity?” Do you think for a moment that diversity of ideas or political points of view falls under their charge? If you watch any branch or arm of NBC you know the answer. Five out of 18 scripted shows — “Law & Order: L.A.,” Law & Order: SVU,” “Love Bites,” “The Office” and “Outlaw” — have “seven diverse co-executive producers,” Madison told the congresswoman. Apparently unsatisfied, Waters went through her list of Peacock shows, asking about minority representation among the cast and producing staffs, beginning with “The Event,” which stars black actor Blair Underwood as the U.S. president. When Madison informed Waters that they did not yet have an executive producer for that show, Waters sought to rectify the situation immediately. “Are there any African-American executive producer types in the audience? Are there any Latino executive producers in the audience?” “We know of some, and the ones who are on the shows, we hired them on those shows,” Madison said. “No, no, no,” Waters interrupted. “But you don’t have them on this one.” And so it went, as Waters, effectively the host of the proceedings given that it’s her home district, proceeded through her list of NBC shows that her staff put together and apparently contained their estimations — sometimes wrong — about the number of minorities involved. The new show “Outsourced,” for example, is about an American corporate manager tasked with training employees in India. “You have three minorities in supporting roles and no executive producers. Is that correct?” Waters asked. “I believe we have five minorities in the ensemble,” Madison corrected her. “Would you tell us what those racial minorities are?” Waters said. The subtext here is obvious: If white people aren’t fired and replaced with non-whites, your merger may not meet with my approval. When I first moved out to L.A., purely by accident, my wife and I got caught up in a huge anti-Iraq War protest on Hollywood Boulevard. You could smell it for miles. Anyway, any protest signs attacking media bias were aimed at only at CNN and eventually the protest moved to the front of their building. No one protested Fox News. Why? Because protesting Fox is a waste of time. FNC doesn’t bend to that kind of pressure. CNN, on the other hand, is sympathetic and capitulates to the left on a daily basis. Like NBC, CNN might think their deals with the devil will benefit them in some way; when in reality it only invites more heat as full and complete ideological compliance is demanded. Like jackals, Leftists smell weakness and NBC falling all over themselves to jump on the PC Obama bandwagon makes them as inviting and as easy a target as a crippled zebra. Pass the popcorn.

Democrats urged to avoid meeting with constituents this summer June 8, 2010 By Steve McGough (from Tom Clarke) Congressional Democrats are being urged by leadership to avoid town hall meetings and other public events that offer the ability for voters to ask questions in uncontrolled settings. Last summer’s finger waving and YouTube video accounts seems just too much to handle for faltering Democrats. This story from the New York Times caught my eye the other day. Since last summer did not go so well, Congressional leadership is strongly suggesting incumbents running for re-election this November keep a low profile. I guess you could call it another symptom of the disease, the all-powerful can now simply place a barricade between themselves and voters. If the time-honored tradition of the political meeting is not quite dead, it seems to be teetering closer to extinction. Of the 255 Democrats who make up the majority in the House, only a handful held town-hall-style forums as legislators spent last week at home in their districts. It was no scheduling accident. With images of overheated, finger-waving crowds still seared into their minds from the discontent of last August, many Democrats heeded the advice of party leaders and tried to avoid unscripted question-and-answer sessions. The recommendations were clear: hold events in controlled settings — a bank or credit union, for example — or tour local businesses or participate in community service projects. And to reach thousands of constituents at a time, without the worry of being snared in an angry confrontation with voters, more lawmakers are also taking part in a fast-growing trend: the telephone town meeting, where chances are remote that a testy exchange will wind up on YouTube. These are the people who have been elected to serve as our representatives inside the beltway, and they are refusing to meet with us because they don’t like the bad press. Why are they afraid? Sure, TEA Party members can be boisterous and seem bit angry on occasion, but so what? Man up and deal with it. You’re not a leader if you can’t calm people down and have a discussion with them. You best be able to explain your position in a way that makes sense to your constituents. You’re elected to represent everyone in your district, not just those who blindly vote for you. You must lead, teach and mentor. Is that too much to ask? The big problem is Congress’ continued path towards a soft tyranny, and people don’t like it so much. As the federal government continues to steal property from future generations to fund federal busy-work projects, people notice. I’ve said Feb. 2009 was a tipping point for many voters … an awakening if you will … and hiding with friends won’t help you much come election day. radioviceonline.com
