Dearth of good speakers at Restoration Weekend...Karl Rove leading the way.

[madfloridian]

Rove's fellow speakers are Victor Davis Hanson, former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, Dick Morris, Fred Barnes, Bernie Goldberg, Bill Cowan, Robert Spencer, Ralph Peters, Daniel Pipes, Frank Gaffney, Max Boot, Stephen Moore, Josh Mandel, Chris Simcox, Sheriffs Ziggy Gonzalez and Arvin West, Mark Krikorian and David Horowitz.

Restoration Weekend is hosted by The David Horowitz Freedom Center. It is meant to be a conference for conservatives to restore themselves. They need to after leading this country into the toilet.

More about Restoration Weekend. I do hate to link to Front Page, as I know it is a right wing site. However this article shows their pride in Karl Rove, Frank Gaffney, Daniel Pipes and their ilk. They take pride and feel no shame at the tearing apart of this country for their own purposes and desires.

Karl Rove will be the keynote speaker at our Saturday night banquet during the Restoration Weekend

The David Horowitz Freedom Center is proud to announce that Karl Rove will be the keynote speaker at our Saturday night banquet during the Restoration Weekend, which will be held on November 13-16th at the spectacular Breakers Resort in Palm Beach. The speech will follow the presidential elections which take place the preceding week. At the banquet we will also be honoring our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Mr. Rove is the former deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush. He is currently a Fox News Contributor, Wall Street Journal Columnist and a Newsweek Columnist.

Karl Rove has been described by respected author and columnist Michael Barone in U.S. News & World Report as "…unique…no Presidential appointee has ever had such a strong influence on politics and policy, and none is likely to do so again anytime soon." Washington Post columnist David Broder has called him a master political strategist whose "game has always been long term…and he plays it with an intensity and attention to detail that few can match." Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, has called him, "The greatest political mind of his generation and probably of any generation…"

Other confirmed speakers include Victor Davis Hanson, former Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, Dick Morris, Fred Barnes, Bernie Goldberg, Bill Cowan, Robert Spencer, Ralph Peters, Daniel Pipes, Frank Gaffney, Max Boot, Stephen Moore, Josh Mandel, Chris Simcox, Sheriffs Ziggy Gonzalez and Arvin West, Mark Krikorian and David Horowitz.

It's not just the conservatives who continue to give Karl Rove such credibility. He gets to write for the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, be a spokesperson on Fox, and avoid subpoenas from Democrats in Congress.

Karl even gets to hang around at health care conferences and join some of our Democrats in opening up the forum.

The White House Writers Group - a communications firm formed by former Reagan and Bush speechwriters - and the West Wing Writers - a communications firm formed by former Clinton presidential writers - hosted the conference. Opening remarks on Wednesday featured a discussion on presidential politics and health care lead by political consultant James Carville and Karl Rove, former Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President Bush. Thursday's panel speakers discussed solutions to improve the quality of care without increasing costs, how to help the 44 million uninsured Americans across the nation and the government's role in America's health care.

"A lot of people who usually talk at each other talked to each other about so many important issues - about making sure all Americans have access to the health care they need and about the necessity of lowering costs while maintaining quality," said Clark S. Judge, Managing Director of the White House Writers Group.

"From the governor to the business leaders and doctors, we have lots of ideas to take back to Washington to jump start health care reform," said Paul Orzulak, Founding Partner of the West Wing Writers. "Mostly, we agreed that this is too important to be a partisan issue."

One of the hallmarks of this administration and its cronies is that being honorable means nothing at all. They never seem to be ashamed at all. They don't even seem to notice they have been dishonorable.

That's the worst part, that they just keep being treated with credibility.

13. WJZ Channel 13 and other are push republicans for exposer to voters

Channel 13 of Baltimore are pushing republicans on their news
as if they are very important to the decision made in our
state. They even publishes a "free" republican
propaganda paper delivered to your door...
The news media in our state is becoming very bias and
especially we now know that Cheney and Rumsfeld has bought
homes to this state.  They also have 3 , 4 or more republican
propaganda talk radio stations in which O'Malley and other
democratic are constantly being condemn with lies and BS and
they even bring on republicans on the show to attack democrats
with lies.
Wbal , Channel 11 in Baltimore (I believe this is the station
, I know it has or sponsors a republican talk radio station).

Maryland being a democratic state , the republicans have been
push very hard to change the  political field..

These television stations have been pushing Ehrlich the
"ex" governor is often given a slot on television to
state his opinion of what O'Malley is doing wrong in running
our state.  Sometimes instead of calling Ehlrich formal
governor they just call he "governor" Ehrlich.  So
we know that Ehrlich is going to run for governor again in the
next governor election and they are trying to build him up for
these event. 
 
If you also remember when Ehrlich and Michael S. Steele,
Maryland Lt. Governor was campaign were campaigning against
O'Malley in the 2006 election Ehrlich and Steele were
complaining in some neighborhoods as democrats to fool any
voters they could.  
Maryland also have quite a lot of votes missing in the 2004
election and never really said much about it at the time.. 
This is the first I member this type of BS in Maryland
election and it was under of course Ehrlich's administration..

Emerging Scandal on MD Voting Machine Performance 
All MD Diebold Machines on Lockdown 
Under Investigation for Widespread Statewide Election Day 2004
Failures 
MD Election Group Calls for Independent Investigation and
De-Certification of Machines


Montgomery County, Maryland. According to county election
officials and other sources, all Maryland voting machines have
been on "lockdown" since November 2, 2004 due to
statewide machine failures including 12% of machines in
Montgomery County, some of which appear to have lost votes in
significant numbers. The State Board of Elections convinced
the media that Election Day went smoothly, when in fact there
were serious statewide, systemic problems with the Diebold
electronic voting machines -- so serious that the SBE and
Diebold still have not figured out how to prevent the loss of
votes in the future.

3. Tampa Tribune calls out Daniel Pipes on the DVD "Obsession"

Such a great bunch speaking at the Restoration. Pipes has been instrumental in organizing college groups to harass "liberal" professors. But he is also one of the minds behind that ugly video being sent in newspapers.

The Trib's Daniel Ruth calls him out.

'Obsession' Fuels The Flames Of Islamic Bias

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West," is the handiwork of the semi-shadowy Clarion Fund, which has distributed some 28 million copies of the DVD through direct mail and various newspapers, including The Tampa Tribune, throughout Pennsylvania, Nevada, Ohio, Michigan and, of course, Florida - otherwise known as "swing states."

..."For example, Daniel Pipes, a somewhat controversial academic, notes that out of the estimated 1 billion Muslims around world, between 100 million and 150 million of them support radical Islam.

To be sure that's a pretty scary number, but Pipes offers no data to support his claim. How did he arrive at the number? Did he take a poll? That would be enlightening! What does "support" for radical Islam mean? Pipes provides no answers.

You don't need the trembling, emotionally manipulative "Obsession" to remind us there are dark forces of radical Islamists and other ideologues, who wish us ill. We pretty much figured that out on Sept. 11, 2001. And contrary to the popular view offered by some drive-by talk radio bloviators, we haven't forgotten.

Lovely bunch in Palm Beach at that conference.
