When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

ATTACKING MICHELLE OBAMA

Michelle Obama has fallen foul of the most vicious slight yet with her portrayed as an overweight, hamburger-munching glutton in a very personal cartoon attack.

The offensive caricature, which was posted on Biggovernment.com, is a dig at the U.S. First Lady's obesity campaign, which celebrated its one-year anniversary last week.

It comes as Barack Obama's wife pushes her campaign to improve workplace rules for breastfeeding to reduce the number of overweight children.



First Lady Being Slammed by Tea Bags
 Conservatives have hit out at the campaign by Mrs. Obama, calling her a hypocrite and suggesting it is not her place to tell Americans what they can and cannot eat.


In the cartoon, she is seen telling her husband: 'I've stepped up my efforts to control America's eating habits by telling restaurants to lower portion sizes and fat content.'


 
Sarah Palin criticized Mrs. Obama's campaign last year, saying: 'What (Michelle Obama) is telling us is she cannot trust parents to make decisions for their own children, for their own families in what we should eat.'

"No Sarah since most of our families and kids are lazy lard asses!"
Tea bags have hit an all time low with this smear attack on the first lady. Andy Breitbart and Co., and its dwelling of blogger trolls have had a myriad of less than ethical instances with the African Americans. Let us not forget the Shirley Sherrod instance, where lead buffoon Andrew Breitbart was caught doctoring videos and is now currently being sued by Sherrod for his less than ethical shenanigans.

Yes, Big government and the tea bag movement have supported African Americans, twice to be exact. We constantly hear Dana Loesch backing the "Pigford" issue. This along with the Sherrod facade would be the only times you will see or hear the radical tea associated with African Americans. And lets be clear, the Sherrod fiasco is not supporting the "African American movement"!

Loesch, Breitbart, and tea bags galore will tell you in blogosphere land that the cartoon attack on Michelle Obama rests on her hypocritical stance on healthy eating, as the Obama's ate fat and greasy foods during their super bowl party.

If this is not a pot and kettle moment, then I am not sure what is. If Dana and Andy practiced what they preached, then certainly they would be taken more seriously. Dana and Andy always look for the "double standard", or "oh "X" did this so its acceptable for "Y" to do the same. I say to Dana Loesch and Andy....."practice what your preach"!

The radical extreme rights stance has always been that they will not allow "big government" tell them how to operate anything, never mind tell them the type of foods that they should intake, and having it come from an "African American" woman......... well its insult to injury to the republicans.

Until Breitbart and Company dumps the grade school playground mentality, then and only then can we take them at their word and truly believe that they are not white trash racists.
