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.

THE RESISTANCE
Tea Party freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who has spent months lecturing President Obama and Democrats on fiscal responsibility, owes $117,437 in child support to his ex-wife and three children.
Teabagger Joe has spurned the ire of many Americans, especially those from Illinois, and rightly so - as Illinois lawmakers have proposed a bill, which would forbid people owing more than ten thousand dollars for child support to be able to run for office.
Hear the new face of the radical conservative movement cheer letting people without heath insurance die, Cheer executions even when the person is found innocent, They believe if you lose your job its your fault your job is sent to china, They want senor citizens and the disabled to live on the streets so wall street can have there social security, They want woman that are raped to carry the rapist baby - but of course don’t want to help raise the rapist baby. They encourage killing Doctors that perform legal medical procedures because their ideology tells them its OK."
But yet, its perfectly acceptable to be a deadbeat dad? Do we see a pattern here readers? NFTOS has written hundreds of blogs on this hypocrisy.
NFTOS readers, are you tired of blogs that deal with hope, salvation and redemption? Have you been looking for a blog that deals with unabashed stupidity? Then you're in luck, because this teapublican "Joe Walsh" story is the epitome of WTF moments.
Bashir is not the only MSNBC host to call out this imbecile. Lawrence O'Donnell banned Walsh from his show for being a deadbeat dad.
The only thing worse than a liar is a deadbeat liar, and teapublcian Joe Walsh qualifies. It seems that while he's had money to loan his campaign $35,000 and gallivant around with his girlfriend, his ex-wife and children haven't received anything from him. Yeah, this from the same guy who had the nerve to open up his video with this:
“President Obama, quit lying. Have you no shame, sir? In three short years, you’ve bankrupted this country.”
Joe Walsh clearly lies whenever it suits him to avoid obligations, he gets away with all sorts of exceptions others wouldn't. Others would get their license suspended, their wages garnished or weekends in the local jail. But Walsh seems to manage to stay one step ahead of it whenever he can.
This weltanschauung is classic teabagger. Lie, cheat, steal, and then walk away from moral and financial obligations as though they were nothing to worry about.
Give me a freaking break!

It's it obvious Speaker Gingrich is using coded language to single out poor black people. His statements encapsulate the myths which postulate that African-Americans are shiftless, criminally inclined "Negroes", but more importantly, aren’t teapublicans assuaging their racist base when they peddle this putrid prejudice? Indeed their mission is to employing this "strategy”.
"Shit Republicans Say About Black People"
This mentality won't ever change because we as a race fail to educate these ignorant racist people. Lets take the bootlicking toadying of Lt.Col Allen West and Herman Cain. These men have ignored every single teapublican out there denigrating their race - as long as there's money to be had from it, or an office to be held I say.
But let's face it readers, teapublcians are equal opportunity bigots, if a white radical teabagger can identify a skill or talent they can abuse, mock, berate and make money off of, they will, regardless of color.
I grew up around white teapublican households (grew up in Richmond, VA home the Confederate Capitol) , and it's not a secret, it used to be just about the older teapublcian voters, but that's not the case any longer, as most radical righties, regardless of age, are plain racist, and mistakenly believe that minorities and welfare are "The Problem". It was white people in affluent areas with poor minorities in rougher urban areas, so they made that connection. However, the reason teapublican politicians single out blacks, is that it plays to their voter base - Southern whites - In fact, it's referred to as 'The Southern Strategy' in campaign circles, especially here in Virginia
Lets take a gander at some high profile teapublcians.
RUSH LIMBAUGH:
If we listen to anything excreted from Rush Limbaugh's upper orifice, it's nothing but racially charged idiom. Limbaugh is not a fringe conservative media figure. Teapublicans (elected officials or not) bow at his altar with alarmingly frequency. Here is just a collection (46) of Rush at his best:
Ann Coulter's existence revolves around implementing the far right's strategy of 'The Southern Strategy". Coulter's job is to inject into the teapublican echo chamber, racist words that would be unacceptable anywhere else. We are drearily familiar with her lies, false accusations, exaggerations, innuendo, and racist attacks while pretending to be "funny." Her bimbo routine for some reason lets her get away with it. Faux News puts her on and then the viewers react to her outlandishness, and then repeat it until it seeps into the mainstream (where the Far Right wants it).
With Coulter it is best to look not at what she says -- but who she is.
Coulter and her likes lay out the far Right's anti-Obama strategy:
"You're electing a black guy and he only cares about African Americans"; and
"He has a middle name that sounds like a 'terrorist' therefore he's 'soft' on terror and national defense." (Romney and Newt-ron-bomb will love this one because it dovetails perfectly with their strategy). It's coming into focus. The far Right wants the Obama campaign to waste a lot of time and energy answering meaningless slurs aimed at driving home these two racist lies.
Non-racists don't say things like: "Our blacks are so much better than their blacks ... We have very impressive blacks in our party," - not only is this not 1963, it's certainly not1863, but this shows the mentality and reality of life under radical teapublican rule.
Ann's resume shows she is a very educated woman. She went to Cornell University, is a lawyer, and was trained at the National Journalism Center. She's obviously playing to the teapublican base, a base that still believes that "the South's going to do it again" - riling them up in an attempt to sell her "brand."
But then again if you watch the below video, Ann 'the man" appears dumber than a box of rocks: CAUTION LANGUAGE!
SIDEBAR: If G.W. Bush had the slightest sense of irony, he might have paused to ask himself, "Wait a minute. How did I get into Yale?" It wasn't because of any academic achievement: his high school record was ordinary. It wasn't because of his life experience--prosperous family, fancy prep school--which was all too familiar at Yale - and it certainly wasn't his SAT scores either: 566 verbal and 640 math.
GLENN BECK:
The best of Beck’s race-baiting:
Beck suggested Obama’s name is un-American. On the February 4 edition of The Glenn Beck Program, Beck said of Obama: “He chose to use his name, Barack, for a reason. To identify, not with America — you don’t take the name Barack to identify with America. You take the name Barack to identify with what? Your heritage? The heritage, maybe, of your father in Kenya, who is a radical?”
Beck’s “funny ‘black guy’ character.” Journalist Alexander Zaitchik wrote in his September 2009 profile of Beck for Salon.com that Beck, as a younger man, had many “racial hang-ups.” According to Zaitchik: “Among the show’s regular characters was Beck’s zoo alter ego, Clydie Clyde. But Clyde was just one of Beck’s unseen radio ventriloquist dolls. ‘He was amazing to watch when he was doing his cast of voices,’ remembers Kathi Lincoln, Beck’s former newsreader. ‘Sometimes he’d prerecord different voices and talk back to the tape, or turn his head side to side while speaking them live on the air. He used to do a funny “black guy” character, really over-the-top.’ “
Beck forced to apologize for “mocking Asians.” In 1995, Beck and his co-hosts at KC101 in Hartford, Connecticut were made to apologize for mocking an Asian man who called into the program. The Hartford Courant reported in October 20, 1995: “When [Zhihan] Tong telephoned WKCI- FM to protest the broadcast as a racial slur, disc jockeys Glenn Beck and Pat Grey made fun of him. The two played a gong in the background several times, and Papineau, the executive producer, mocked a Chinese accent.”
Beck praised constitutional provision protecting slave trade. In his 2009 book Arguing With Idiots, Beck reprinted and praised the now-obsolete Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 of the Constitution, which prohibited Congress from ending the slave trade before 1808 and capped taxes on the slave trade at $10 per slave. Beck, without mentioning slavery, interpreted the provision to mean that “the Founders actually put a price tag on coming to this country: $10 per person. Apparently they felt like there was a value to being able to live here.”
Health care reform. “This guy is not who he says he is. None of his bills, none of his proposals are about what he says they’re about. The health care bill is reparations. It’s the beginning of reparations. He’s going to give — if you want to go into medical school, the medical schools will get more federal dollars if they have proven that they are putting minorities ahead.” [The Glenn Beck Program, 7/22/09]
Assistance to Native Americans. On November 11, 2009, Beck said: “When the president was sitting there, or standing there, and he was talking about Native American rights in the middle of a tragedy, Fort Hood, it didn’t feel right. And it seemed, maybe to me, that he was even promising reparations.” [The Glenn Beck Program, 11/9/09]
I don't want to make black people's lives better...
Leopards cannot change their spots readers, and neither can those of the tepublican persuasion. Whether its a "strategy" or true ideals - I could careless, its vile and repulsive!
A gassy belly wants to belch, likewise, a racist wants to belch. Changing his diet requires ingenuity -- which would very rarely be applied. Racists are highly lazy people, and don't expend energies, whether positive, in solving problems. Their shortcut is always the answer, whether complaint, insult, threat, or violence.
