Who's Making Money


If establishment comedian Jon Stewart didn’t have the professional dignity to express embarrassment after the President of the United States personally endorsed his upcoming October 30th, Mock-The-People left-wing political rally, no one should be surprised over Stewart’s willingness to unashamedly accept all the Big Media astro-turf that’s already been thrown his way. Obviously the King’s favorite Court Jester has a raging case of Beck-Envy and now all the King’s Media Toadies and all the King’s Corporate Toadies are going to try and put Jon Stewart’s ego back together again: “Doesn’t America know I mock Glenn Beck!”




Free rides to the Jon Stewart rally!


The problem is that Stewart’s already cheating and intentionally gaming the numbers. His wealthy corporate backers and zillionaire media friends are currently pulling out all the stops to lay out a big red green carpet of astro-turf on his behalf – something this strange alliance of Unions and Big Media has had to do to show that Glenn Beck! ever since Beck-A-Palooza shocked everyone by drawing hundreds of thousands of people from every corner of America.


Think about it: One conservative holds one successful rally and now, by my count, that success has so flustered the Left that just a few weeks later they will have organized no less than four angry counter-rallies:



  1. BitterFest

  2. Bitter-LitterFest

  3. SmugFest

  4. MiniMeSmugFest


But it’s all as phony as Jon Stewart’s assurances he has no political agenda.


October 2nd’s Bitter-Litter Fest, aka One Nation Rally, was nothing more than an astro-turfed Unionstock with every radical left-wing organization in America spending a ton of money to bus in supporters in the desperate hope of avoiding an embarrassing crowd shot (Mission Not-Accomplished):


Progressives and radicals descended on Washington, DC Saturday demanding more government spending as the way to fix societal ills.  Groups including the AFL-CIO, SEIU, NAACP, Democratic Socialists of America, Organizing for America, Communist Party USA, American Federation of Teachers, Code Pink and National Education Association linked arms in a call for voters to keep Democrats in power. …


After milling in the crowd all day, I would estimate 80%-90% of attendees wore union-affiliated t-shirts. Some others wore ‘I Need a Job’ shirts. We talked to people who were bussed and actually flow in – the Tides Foundation spent a lot of money.


And now we discover that no less than media giant Viacom, through their MTV network, is muscling their employees to give up a Saturday in exchange for a grueling 11-hour round-trip bus ride in order to pack the Stewart crowd with corporate ringers and cheer on The Smug One as he expresses his state-approved contempt for everyday Americans (why else name his counter-rally “Restoring Sanity?”).


Also, as we reported earlier, there’s Arianna Huffington, who’s spending a cool quarter of a million dollars to bus in her own astro-turf, all in the hopes of making successful yet another glaring example of the Left’s open contempt for we everyday bitter-clingers.



Look at how small and mean and petty these people are. We can’t even gather peaceably in large numbers and in a non-partisan way without them feeling so threatened, that beyond all reason, they’re compelled to boorishly bumble in afterwards to puff themselves up with mockery and to make sure they get the last word in. If God were to suddenly strike these fools with the gift of self-awareness, can you imagine how embarrassed they would be over how transparently desperate they are?


All this time, energy and money wasted – all this panicked thumb-on-the-scale organizing just to balm the open wounds of Beck-Envy.


I wonder, though…. Might this have been Beck’s devious, Rove-inspired, Cheney-approved Machiavellian plan the whole time? Does he understand these people so well that he knew a successful rally on his part would so enrage the elite left that they wouldn’t be able to control themselves from launching a whole series of resource-wasting counter-rallies thisclose to a crucial election?


Beck, you magnificent bastard.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who’s known both for making puzzling but impassioned speeches and for having a difficult relationship with the truth, says former president Bill Clinton is out to get her.



This afternoon, members of Human Events magazine’s listserv received a special message from Bachmann, who’s running for reelection this year. The email kicks off with a sentence that sounds a little, well, paranoid, especially out of context: “Bill Clinton will stop at nothing to raise money to defeat me.” (Yes, Bachmann bolds her lede as well.)


See, Clinton hosted a “high-dollar fundraising event” for Bachmann’s opponent, Tarryl Clark, and he also sent out “an email soliciting funds to defeat me” last week. This surely means that Clinton and his “money machine” are specifically targeting poor, persecuted Bachmann, rather than working to raise money for pretty much any Democrat running for office in November.


The only way to defeat the evil Clinton—and other members of the liberal elite like Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Barack Obama, and Walter Mondale, all of whom, apparently, are personally working to destroy Bachmann—is to help the beleaguered Congresswoman raise $20,000 in the next 24 hours. Those who wish to give Bachmann an “emergency donation” can do so at this page.
