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.

CARIBOU BARBIE AND THE VETTING PROCESS

YOU WANT TO DEBATE ME?!

According to reports, America’s most infamous Hockey Mom said of President Obama, and I quote from the article in today’s DailyBeast, “Our sitting president was not vetted,” referring to the 2008 election.

“How could you of all people level that accusation?” How could the dumbest human to ever occupy a governors office [the half governor] or a Vice Presidential candidate claim such lunacy...enter the asshat named Saranoya Palin.

This " Vetting" process started with the now dead Andy Breitbart. The dead man claimed to have videos that was to vet POTUS - and that these videos would rock the world to how bad POTUS was - a man living a double life if you will. Well the bomb shell never surfaced. At the end of the day Breitbart and company never looked more stupid - but then again that's what Breitbart et al manufactures.

What is Palin talking about? Was she not following the bruising Democratic Primary that went a heck of a lot longer than the current Republican Presidential Primary has gone? Did she follow the series of debates, which aided in the vetting process? Oh yeah, I forgot, she was busy watching Russia from her house in Alaska and must have missed all that.

Let's be real here readers, most all videos that contain Palin depict stupid at it's best. In case we forgot how stupid:








Couric asking Palin tough question.

Now this buffoon wants to debate POTUS. While it's hard to contain my laughter, here is a statement from Saranoya:
"I’m not running for any office, but I’m more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama’s 'enemy of the week' if that includes the opportunity to debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about," Palin wrote in a note on her Facebook page, posted late Monday. Palin was responding to a Web video fundraising for Obama that uses recent footage of Palin criticizing the president.
The part time governor suggested that:
"I’m willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime,"

AND THAT:
"Obama could also debate any of "the four patriots currently running for the GOP nomination" — Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum or Ron Paul — on the issues."

Beside the fact that the President of the United States is too busy to respond to self-serving challenges from addled, egotistical reality TV characters (who’s next? Snooki?) whom would be the one schooled and vetted during this debate? The Harvard Law Grad, or the unlettered half governor?

Caribou Barbie is, once again, attempting to float the false claim that Barack Obama is some sort of radical, and doing so in the immediate wake of an HBO movie that made a point of her husband’s membership in a secessionist political party in Alaska and her eagerness to lie about it. The hypocrisy of accusing the president of palling around with radicals.

Palin challenged the media to re-open a discussion about the president’s “radical past”. This from a woman whose theology involves speaking in tongues, casting out witches, and the power of “Prayer Warriors; whose simplistic ignorance of the oil market permits her to assert that “Drill, baby, drill!” will result in lower gasoline prices despite the opinion of every serious oil and gas expert saying otherwise…a truth even Bill O’Reilly admits.

This needy bit of desperation, posted for Sarah’s moronic fan base, is a win-win for the former half-term beauty pageant grifter. In the snowball’s chance in hell the president bothers to respond to the challenge, it only lends credibility to the withering publicity hound. In the almost certain event that her attention whoring is ignored, Sarah and her band of pig people will crow that President Obama is afraid to debate her.

Someone needs to explain to Sarah the simple truth expressed so succinctly by F. Scott Fitzgerald: “There are no second acts in American life.”
