Premature Celebration

Over the past few weeks, Team Obama and the Democrats have been letting out a collective sigh of relief, excited that the worst politically may be behind them and that better days were ahead: an improving economy and with it, sunnier re-election chances for Obama.

As a president running for re-election, you generally want to have this moment in say, mid-October, not in early March, but the Democrats took it and ran with it. Call it premature celebration.

ABC News and the Washington Post released a new poll today that shows voters growing increasingly---not decreasingly---annoyed with Obama's economic "leadership." They found that 59 percent of Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy, with 50 percent "strongly disapproving." That's a record low for him. 50% disapprove of his job performance overall.

Things shift quickly in politics, and Obama is likely to have more poll climbs and more poll drops. But nobody in Washington ever seems to learn the lesson that tooting one's own horn too early can lead to major embarrassment---and to election disaster.

Obama is incredibly vulnerable: last week Gallup released a poll showing that 50% of the American people believe he's been a "failure," and Rasmussen Reports showed Mitt Romney leading him by 5 points.

Again, it's early days, and a million things are likely to occur between now and election day. That means neither Obama nor the GOP should get ahead of themselves. Unless they want to play the fool.

Gringoman,

I suspect Sarah Palin voted for Newt Gingrich (born Newton Leroy McPherson) because Newt is half black like Obama. She assumes (rightly or wrongly) voting for someone who's half black, like Leroy, insulates her from being labeled a racist.

Yes, according to the Reverend Dr. David James Manning, Newton Leroy Gingrich's biological father was a liberal, but well educated black man. Moreover, that explains why Leroy is so unstable, erratic, and unpredictable. ;-)

DJ,

Thanks for that unusual insight into Mama Grizzly. And there I was, thinking that she voted for Newt because she thought he's better for America than a phony like Wall Street Willard.

How did I manage to ignore the idea that her real reason was to keep from being labeled a racist? My bad.

Maybe it had to do with fact that I don't recall Sarah doing what you did, DJ---jump aboard the Cain train a while back?

Or do I misremember?

Longrifle,

We always knew that progs hate and fear being described accurately. That;s why they always try to confuse that with "name-calling" the way this little psychopath does.

E.g. Liberal racists hate being called what they are, "racists." They want to be the only ones entitled to use that word.

Now this creep J24/7, giddy with his freedom to spam a "conservative" website, let's another one of their cats out of the bag.

Everything you say about J Dumbo is true. There's just one proviso. It doesn't matter to a psychopath, which is exactly what this 24/7 sickie is. His shrink, if he could get one to go near him, could tell him that he saw his life as wasted a long time ago. What the troll is doing right now is getting his "revenge" for that. He doesn't even see himself as an idiot or pathological liar.

He's just "doing his thing." Doesn't matter how it disgusts everyone. Like all psychopaths, he is very aggressive. As long as he can feed and inflict himself on a host, a rube, an enabler, a relative etc, he will. Without the host, the parasite feels dead. J24/7 is in many ways dead already, but as long as he can keep spamming a vulnerable host, he will not feel that he's dead.

Pathetic.

Premiere Source: 98 Advertisers Not Targeting Hannity, Beck, Levin

Sunday, 11 Mar 2012 11:55 AM

Reports this weekend that as many as 98 major advertisers are asking not to air their ads on conservative radio shows are "totally bogus," a source close to Premiere Networks told Newsmax Sunday night.

Premiere Networks syndicates top-rated shows like those hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck.

This past weekend, news reports on sites like Politico and the Huffington Post are suggesting that as many as 98 major brands and major businesses are asking that their ads not run on such conservative talk programs. The reports suggest the advertisers are taking the action in the wake of comments made by Rush Limbaugh about a female Georgetown law student.

"The fact is that these advertisers, with a few exceptions, have never been advertising on Premiere's conservative shows," the source said.

It is well known that major companies and brands often shun both conservative and liberal shows and outlets, as Madison Avenue advertising firms keep "do not buy" lists of programs they believe may upset their client's customers.

"Most of these 98 firms don't air on liberal MSNBC or radio shows like Ed Schultz's. There is nothing new here," the source said.

Why the controversy then?

Last Friday, Radio-info.com published an internal Premiere memo it said offered a list of 98 companies that did not want to air on conservative talk shows.

According to Radio-info, the list of advertisers include "carmakers (Ford, GM, Toyota), insurance companies (Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm) and restaurants (McDonald’s, Subway)."

"These companies for the most part never advertise on Rush, Hannity and other conservative talk shows," the source said, adding, "And they usually don't advertise on liberal shows either."

The Premiere memo being cited actually is just a reminder to stations of long-standing policy telling their ad traffic managers not to fill unsold ads in conservative talk radio programs with such brand advertisers.

"The media is trying to create the impression -- one being propagated by the liberal Media Matters -- that there is mass movement against conservative shows," the source said. "But it simply isn't true."

The source also told Newsmax that several major advertisers who have dropped Rush have already indicated to Premiere they plan to come back on his show, and other Premiere shows like Hannity and Levin have seen strong ad revenue growth.

An excerpt of the Premiere memo follows:

“To all Traffic Managers: The information below applies to your Premiere Radio Networks commercial inventory. More than 350 different advertisers sponsor the programs and services provided to your station on a barter basis. Like advertisers that purchase commercials on your radio station from your sales staff, our sponsors communicate specific rotations, daypart preferences and advertising environments they prefer… They’ve specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity). Those are defined as environments likely to stir negative sentiment from a very small percentage of the listening public.”

[jay]

Levin is a stupid jerk. Like Limbaugh, beck, savage, Coulter, Dana.

[SYBIL]

well IQ BOY, I was agreeing with Longrifle's take on your nastyazz self & uh, for the umpteenth time while I admire the Lurkers' style, I am not Lurker, resident tard, you big dummy. there is some conservative slang for ya, douchewad. later tard.

[jay]

Sybil has to go to bed his mommy is calling him!

Sure Sybil admires Lurker's style! They're THE SAME!

SAME PERSON, SAME STYLE!

TBSH stopped commenting about the same time Sybil started.

[jay]

Or, could Flip BE Sybil?

Let's see if we can get them to have one talking and the other one drinking a glass of water?

[jay]

But, BOTH sybil and TBSH love Ionetheworld.

It WAS TBSH's favorite site!

Soon, after, TBSH left and then Sybil showed up!

And much luck to them with their Satan-as-jesus too.

How can you describe the state of near-dementia more kindly that that?

Near dementia is a medical term and it describes the troll IQ BOY accurately.

Ergo it is not name calling.

Yeah, most sane men would indeed choose Monica, especially if the alternative were Moosechelle.

But the Bama is not a sane man.

He is a deeply racist man and will take a foogly black woman over an attractive white one anytime.

q.e.d.

[Ummahgummah]

.

Anyway, his loss.

And this is in no way implying that he'd have half a chance with Monica, given his ideological proclivities.

Monica's got Moosechelle beat not only in the looks department, but more importantly, she is far kinder, far more intelligent and has her head screwed on right.

Moosechelle's face is distorted from the hate and resentment seething within her.

Not even the White House they currently occupy due to Affirmative Action has served to appease that resentment.

Gringoman,

Okay, let's get serious here. To answer your question is YES, I DID jump on the Cain train.

But let's examine the crucial difference between supporting the black Herman Cain and the half black Newt Gingrich (born Newton Leroy McPherson). Clearly Newt, like Obama, are ardent believers in Derrick Bell's Critical Race Theory. I'll bet if Newt never met Calista and converted to Catholicism, he'd undoubtedly join a church that preached Black liberation theology ... but I digress.

OTOH, Herman Cain's worldview is one hundred degrees out of phase with that of Leroy, Obama, and Derrick Bell. You see, as troll trash Malcolm X-Lax has so aptly explained, Mr.Cain is a black white-supremacist. Furthermore troll trash Malcolm X-Lax said the only blacks DJ likes are black white-supremacists. So, in a nutshell, that's the underlying reason why I jumped on the Cain Train.

PS,

Let's not forget how Leroy teamed up with Al Sharpton and toured the country together for the purpose of promoting Obama's "progressive" (read: socially regressive) education policies.

Then there is Newt as recent as the spring of 2011 0n the record supporting individual heath care mandates. But I'll save that for another day.....

PPS,

Of course some of what I say is done tongue in cheek; some isn't.

HOW TO SPOT A PSYCHOPATH

We just did. The geek doesn;t realize it, but he just confessed. Any psychiatrist would see it. A psychopath is a liar who doesn't even think he's lying. That's what makes him pathological.

This 24/7 liar just told a "true lie." It's as "true" as the "Vietnam hero" fotos he says he has of himself (but he can't show them because "you're not interested.")

The sickie is not "lying." Dumbo thinks he was in Vietnam. He had to be, since he said so.

Got to hand it to dummy. He's got commenters thinking he's just not playing with a full deck. Full? He's got no cards at all. Jay is not playing. \

Classic case. He's not faking anything. He's basically on robo-call, 24/7.

[gringoman]

OTOH, Herman Cain's worldview is one hundred degrees out of phase with that of Leroy, Obama, and Derrick Bell. You see, as troll trash Malcolm X-Lax has so aptly explained, Mr.Cain is a black white-supremacist. Furthermore troll trash Malcolm X-Lax said the only blacks DJ likes are black white-supremacists. So, in a nutshell, that's the underlying reason why I jumped on the Cain Train.DJ

GRINGOMAN////DJ, You;re building up Herman Cain and tearing down Newt Gingrich (again). That's no way to get preferred stock in Herman Cain's Godfather Pizza (or whatever he's promoting now.) The "black villain" Newt and the "white supremacist" Herman Cain have been friends for 20 years. As Southern good ol' boys, they probably can tell you Northerners something about how to travel with an Al Sharpton. I suspect they can also tell you how to do it without pandering to Barack Obama's education policies too. Hail, I'll bet Sarah Palin could do that too, and she ain't from hominy grits. (Speaking of which I just saw Willard on the boob tube telling the folks how he loves him some grits. I think I almost sprained something while cringing. Club Gooper is hell bent on this phoney, aren't they? Just remember, DJ. I did my part. I sounded the warning. My hands are clean.)
