Good Point: MSNBC reporters sure love Obama…but – in a way – they are bought and paid for.
Which takes me back to the parallels I and others have drawn in the past between this White House and the fictional Corleone family: “And we have newspaper cable news people on the payroll, don’t we, Tom?”
H/T: The Cable Game
UPDATE: One big difference: TOM links with an important distinction between the Corleones and the Obama Regime. Thanks, guys!

I was writing about Alinky Rule 5 just yesterday, but I just learned (via Jimmie Bise) that at All American Blogger Duane Lester has a similar piece with accompanying video, regarding Obama’s Healthcare Comedy Tour. Check it out!
Remember: Obama laughs it up, so he can crush it down.
UPDATE: Two can play the same game.

No Tea Partiers on either side of the argument. So who were they? “Just one group of racists protesting another”.
Doesn’t fit The Narrative and presents no smearing opportunities, so expect little to none MSM coverage…

MAF: Anti-war activist tries to silence mother of Iraq war hero, requests her arrest.
You’re most definitely in the wrong country, Ms. Activist…
UPDATE: Related content at Gateway Pundit. Looks like arrests are happening, just not at conservative events.
Gateway Pundit: “On Thursday April 15, two violent leftist infiltrators attended the St. Charles Tax Day Tea Party Rally…The two men threatened and attacked elderly protesters.”
Oh, and whoever wants to dispute the allegations won’t have the problem Andrew Breitbart had. No $10,000 reward for evidence required. There is video and there are witnesses. Actually, one of the infiltrators has admitted to the whole thing.
This ugly moment was brought to you by the Democratic Party: “One infiltrator - John Durajczyk – is the Secretary of the St. Charles County Democratic Committee.”
The GOP fundraising ad just writes itself.
This sort of conduct from Democrat officials is to be expected, given that the most prominent man in the Democratic Party openly derides Tea Party protesters. Underlings will then push things to another level just to impress the boss. Anyone who understands the nature of leadership would know that.
I could be charitable and assume that the President has no leadership skills (it’s easy to do so). But since Obama is a certified community organizer, one can’t make such an assumption. And thus we see a corollary of Alinksy Rule 5: you laugh it up so you can crush it down.
To the casual observer, it’s only a harmless jab for the sake of humor; but the joke is only the trigger, not the weapon itself. However, it works best if the Joker isn’t facing a tough crowd. Otherwise, he’s only making a fool of himself…and his side.
UPDATE: Just Another Random, Coincidental Beat-Down on Two Republicans in New Orleans.
MORE: Looks like the tough crowd just got bigger. New Rasmussen Poll has Obama approval dropping 9 points in 3 days.
Plus this: “Cataloging people—any people—based on statistical predictive software, and then taking pre-emptive actions against them based on the results, is the wrong way to improve our society.”

A very cool short film by Canadian director Arev Manoukian.
It’s a must see. The film is so impressive that “within days of posting the four-minute, 41-second romantic drama…Manoukian says he got calls from Hollywood agents and managers. He signed with talent agency William Morris Endeavor last month”.
Nice.
It’s pure cinema. Not a word uttered, not a word needed. The pictures and the sounds say it all.

NYT: “The American economy appears to be in a cyclical recovery that is gaining strength.”
Forget Orwell. I’m sure there’s a Python sketch that fits this NYT article to a T, but I’m too preoccupied with finding my next job to remember it…

Wow. MSNBC had Elliot Spitzer fill in for Dylan Ratigan (reportedly). And people wonder why their ratings are in the basement…
I’m away from a TV, so I was unable to confirm.

Aptly said. Except that the Democratic brand is so damaged – and Fox News’ so prestigious – that the only real loser in this whole thing is Tom Coburn.
Well, Olbermann is a loser too. His show has higher ratings when he’s not hosting it, but that’s for another post.

AP: Taliban releases video of captured US soldier.
Tragic, but also ironic given Obama’s new approach to relations with the Muslim world.
My prayers go out to this soldier and his family.
Someone should ask Chris Matthews: now that Obama has ordered the killing of an American citizen, is it ok to refer to the administration as the “Obama Regime”?
Bonus question: Does Obama still qualify for “Lightworker” status?
Primitive societies traditionally attributed natural forces to a divine power. You know, Zeus was responsible for lightning bolts crashing down to earth. That sort of thing.
Now, the Tea Party movement could be said to be a force of nature, but this is ridiculous: Crooks and Liars links Tea Party to Massey Energy mine disaster.
What can I say? Primitive minds.
