Video: Santorum Pines for the Days of ‘Shadow Abortions’ and Back-Alley Procedures
Rick Santorum misses the days when women would die in horrible agony from having back-alley abortions. Ah, good times.
Look at what’s happened just in our tolerance for abortion. Fifty years ago…60 years ago, people who did abortions were in the shadows, people who were considered really bad doctors. Now, abortion is something to that is just accepted. […] This is the erosion. And it happens in the medical profession. It happened very fast. And I think Obamacare will lead us down that road.
Congressman Falls for the Onion’s Planned Parenthood ‘Abortionplex’ Satire
Louisiana Republican Rep. John Fleming is the latest politician to fall for an Onion story and believe it to be genuine news: Congressman Falls for the Onion’s Planned Parenthood ‘Abortionplex’ Story.
Rep. Fleming posted on Facebook an Onion story from last year on an “$8 billion Abortionplex” being built by Planned Parenthood, featuring restaurants, a nightclub, and a 10-screen multiplex theater. Along with the link to the article, Fleming commented:
More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale.
John Fleming, you are the LGF Derp of the Day.
(Except it’s not really that funny to see a Congressman so blinded by animus toward Planned Parenthood that he’d accept such an obviously exaggerated satire as the real thing.)
Video: Newt Gingrich’s 1986 Speech on Ronald Reagan’s Failures
In the Republican debates, Newt Gingrich is always the first to invoke the hallowed name of Ronald Reagan, taking credit for helping Reagan implement the foreign policy initiatives that led to the fall of the Soviet Union.
Flashback to 1986, as Newt gives a floor speech blasting Ronald Reagan for the “failure” of his foreign policy initiatives, and praising Democratic President Harry Truman for accomplishing much more in the same time period.

Pamela Geller Spews Hatred at LGF Again
Hate group leader Pamela Geller is spewing insults at me again, for pointing out her disgusting exploitation of a murdered Muslim woman. As usual with right wing tirades, she attempts to reverse the reality and project her own illness onto me, accusing me of being “pro-jihad,” of being a “misogynist in servitude to savages,” and of “lying:” CHARLES JOHNSON, MISOGYNIST, OF LITTLE GREEN FOOTBALLS IN SERVITUDE TO SAVAGES!!!!!
I will not submit to the whitewashing and outright cover-up of honor killings in the West, despite the withering personal attacks on me.
That these monstrous crimes of murder do not unite rational men on the basis of sheer humanity is indicative of how debased and morally bankrupt the monsters on the left are. I hold them ultimately responsible. Devout Muslims who support or subscribe to religiously sanctioned gendercide are merely adhering to their faith. What’s the left’s excuse?
Imagine someone so twisted and dysfuntional [sic] that he would vilify those who are fighting against an ideology that oppresses, subjugates and slaughters women. Honor killings are a family affair, and there are as many accomplices as there are killers. Jessica Mokdad was subjected to years of strict religious punishment in that hellish house. Where was her mother? Who lured her back to that deadly house after she had run away?
The once fiercely counter-jihad now viciously pro-jihad Chuck Johnson is rabid with news of my human rights conference, mixing moral equivocation with good old-fashioned lies. Really nuts.
I/we asked the Hyatt for nothing. After they apologized profusely for canceling a Geller event in Sugar Land, Texas (the mistake of a weak, on-site tool), the Hyatt offered to give us space and pay for it at any of their hotels in America. I never bullied Hyatt. I never even contacted them.
Yes, she really did attack the mother of a murder victim.
There’s no point in responding to her usual ad hominem vitriol, but it’s almost comically simple to prove that Geller herself is lying when she says she didn’t harass the Hyatt Hotel chain into appeasing her.
The truth is that Geller posted about the cancellation of her hatefest over and over and over, including the contact information for Hyatt Hotels and the email addresses and phone numbers of their executives, urging her Neanderthal readers to call and email many, many times. This is her modus operandi whenever someone does the right thing and renounces her bigotry — she raises hell and calls out her deranged followers to harass them. And sometimes the target caves in, as the Hyatt’s management apparently did this time.
A few examples out of many:

farley.kern@hyatt.comI will never stay at a Hyatt Place again. Ever.
UPDATE: I want to thank all of you: hundreds and hundreds of emails and phone calls were made to the Hyatt cowards (owned by Obama chief fundraiser, Penny Pritzker).
Earlier I reported that Hyatt Place Houston/Sugar Land prostrated themselves, wet their pants and cancelled tonight’s event where I was scheduled to speak. In a stunning surrrender to Islamic supremacism, free speech suffered yet another setback.
Did you call and read them the first amendment? I urge all Atlas readers to boycott these sniveling cowards.
Mind you, where does Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stay and entertain his murdering comrades when he comes to New York? The Hyatt.

Last week, The Hyatt Place hotel canceled a Sugarland Tea Party event because I was scheduled to speak. Hundreds and hundreds of patriots called, wrote (sold their stock), and the Hyatt Place subsequently apologized. …
Now Hutton Hotel in Nashville has banned this speech as well. Let them know what you think of that:

Geller also incited her thuggish followers against the Hyatt Hotel chain with an article in World Net Daily: Hyatt Quislings Cave to Islamic Supremacists.
Obviously, when Geller claims that neither she nor her followers ever bullied or even contacted the Hyatt Hotel chain, she’s simply lying through her teeth.
Back to today’s tirade, there’s a ritual that must be followed whenever one of these “anti-jihad” lunatics attacks me — it’s very important to them to assure each other that no one ever reads Little Green Footballs anyway, and no one takes me seriously. Oh yes, and I’m “evil” too.
I am always surprised when someone sends me a link from the green swamp. No one reads this boil on the ass of the blogsophere anymore, but look what’s become of him. Once the pre-eminent blog on the right, the now notorious leftwing troll is mocking the fight for the right to live and live freely as a “ghoulish obsession”: Pamela Geller’s Ghoulish Obsession With ‘Honor Killings’ Takes an Ugly Turn. Fighting to save girls’ lives is a “ghoulish obsession.” I guess CJ would call Elie Wiesel’s work on the Holocaust a “ghoulish obsession.” Or any human rights group or anti-torture organization — do they have “ghoulish obessions,” too?
Does this not mirror the malevolent smear campaign waged by the Johnson back in 2009, when I was raising money to get a tombstone for honor killing victim Aqsa Parvez? Little Green Footballs — How Not to Memorialize Aqsa Parvez — he called it “one of the most disgusting publicity stunts I think I’ve ever heard of.”
Evil.
And although no one takes this tool seriously anymore (he was us, now he’s them, tomorrow he is Gregor Samsa), it is illustrative of the left’s canny ability to paint good as evil. “Ghoulish obsession” — think about that.
Thanks to Ms Geller for reminding me about her exploitation of Aqsa Parvez — that was indeed another sickening example of Geller battening onto a family’s grief like a vampire, to promote her hateful anti-Muslim agenda. She’s been at this ghoulish work for years.
For Romney: Some Good News, Some Bad News
Mitt Romney may have won the Nevada caucuses with over 50% of the vote, but the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that President Obama is pulling ahead of Romney for the general election.
Overall, 55 percent of those who are closely following the campaign say they disapprove of what the GOP candidates have been saying. By better than 2 to 1, Americans say the more they learn about Romney, the less they like him. Even among Republicans, as many offer negative as positive assessments of him on this question. Judgments about former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who denounced Romney on Saturday night in Nevada, are about 3 to 1 negative.
Meanwhile, the president’s recent remarks are better reviewed. Among the roughly 6 in 10 Americans who heard or read about the president’s State of the Union address, 57 percent say they approve of most of what he laid out.
Clint Eastwood’s Superbowl Commercial: It’s Halftime in America
Hands down, the year’s most provocative and interesting Super Bowl commercial, from Clint Eastwood.
Super Bowl Open
This year for the first time, you can watch the Super Bowl online at NBC Sports. It requires Microsoft Silverlight, and has a neat picture-in-picture feature that lets you switch between different camera views, including an aerial view of the field.
The game starts at 6pm ET, so in the meantime here’s the Volkswagen Super Bowl ad…
Very Poor GOP Voter Turnout in Nevada
The Las Vegas Sun reports that voter turnout for the Nevada caucuses was very low, despite the Republican Party’s constant fear-mongering and attacks on President Obama.
Something’s going wrong with the GOP strategy of demonization and Tea Party ultra-conservatism; I suspect the toxic atmosphere of the far right is beginning to turn off center right Republicans, and that could spell big trouble for the GOP in the general election.
Mitt Romney’s easy victory in Nevada’s Republican presidential caucuses might, in the long run, be less important than the fact that a surprising number of Republicans who could have participated Saturday chose to stay home.
Republicans’ disappointing turnout foreshadows difficulty energizing GOP voters in Nevada, a key swing state in November’s general election.
Turnout was unlikely to match 2008, when 44,000 Republicans participated in Nevada’s caucuses. Complete figures were not released by the state party as of 10 p.m. Saturday, an indication of a lackluster showing.
“It was less than what we had planned for,” Clark County caucus Director Michael Chamberlain said on KNPR.
Republican turnout in Washoe County, Nevada’s second largest, was 8 percent, well below the 20 percent some had predicted.
“We expected more. Obviously we hoped for more,” David Buell, chairman of the Washoe County Republican Party, said.
GOP Clown Car Pulls Into Nevada
Here’s an open thread to keep up on news from the Nevada GOP caucuses, in which Mitt Romney is expected to thoroughly trounce Newt “Poor Kids Make Great Janitors” Gingrich.
Ron “I Can’t Help It If White Supremacists Dig Me” Paul, for some reason, seems confident that he’ll beat Gingrich for second place.

No one reads this boil on the ass of the blogsophere anymore, but look what’s become of him. No one goes there anymore; it's too crowded. And none of you (or me! eep!) actually exist because no one reads this...
