Hanna Giles Lectures At Young Conservative Leadership Conference
The L.A. Times has an excellent piece up about Hannah Giles and other conservative activists who lectured at the Young Conservative Leadership conference over the weekend.
More than 300 students from around the country attended the conference at the foundation’s headquarters, which is located at the Reagan Ranch Center here. The mission-style complex not far from the waterfront is, according to the foundation, "a schoolhouse for Reaganism."
Giles, a 20-year old college student, became a conservative superstar a few months ago when she and posed as a prostitute and her friend as a pimp in a video sting aimed at taking down ACORN.
Hannah, backed up by Andrew Breitbart and others, gave a lecture on the finer points of using guerrilla warfare tactics against liberal media organizations.
Here are a few tidbits: (emphasis mine)
Two years ago, she said, she was just a laid-back surfer kid from Miami when a friend got her to attend a foundation event in Washington, D.C. That, she said, was where she converted to conservatism.
In her lecture Friday about how to take down liberal organizations and expose what she called media corruption, Giles sought to stir others to action. "Above all, attack, attack, attack," she said, quoting Republican consultant Roger Stone. "Never defend."
For her own efforts, she was given the group’s Young Student Activist award.
When asked by a student what other organizations needed to be targeted besides ACORN, Breitbart said the Apollo Alliance and of course SEIU.
Basically, the message Hannah and Breitbart brought was one we conservatives should have been doing all along — using the tactics of the left.
Giles asked everyone in the room to copy down the words of Saul Alinsky, who is considered the father of community organizing — and is a great hero of the left.
"All life is warfare," she quoted him as saying, "and it’s the constant fight against the status quo that revitalizes society."
Does it get any better than that? I don’t think so. I love it when hot women talk like that.

Hate Crimes Against Muslims Continues To Decline
Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit has some rather inconvenient facts for the mainstream media. “Hate crimes” against Muslims have been declining steadily since 9/11.
Leave Cao Alone, He had To Defect On Health Care
The House of Representatives voted on and passed a horrific health care bill on Saturday that amounts to a government takeover. It was a dream come true for Nancy “Stretch” Pelosi and the rest of the radical left, and condemned by every republican except one. Rep. Joseph Cao (R-La) was the lone republican vote in favor of PelosiCare on Saturday.
Normally, I have a great deal of contempt for republicans who vote for things they know will do great damage to America. However, in this one instance I give Cao a pass.
Cao had absolutely no choice but to vote for the bill. His district used to be represented by William “Cold Cash” Jefferson until the Feds discovered $90,000 in his freezer and indicted him for corruption.
Cao’s district is the poorest in Louisiana and was the hardest hit by Katrina. It’s about 99% African-American and about 99.99% far-left. The fact that a republican is representing that district at all is miracle in itself. Cao is probably the only republican in his district (I’m not kidding).
Had he voted against free health care, I don’t exaggerate when I say his constituents would have visited his office with pitch forks. Cao has bucked his constituents on various votes in the past, but this one he simply had to give them.
If Cao is defeated in the next election (which is pretty likely given the demo) it’s almost certain that a republican will never hold that seat again — ever.
A republican can do more for that poor black district than a radical left-winger ever will. He had to give them health care, but he won’t give in to every single entitlement the way a liberal democrat will. If he can keep his seat, the people of his district will see their lives improve over time, instead of get worse as most black districts do in America (when they’re run by liberal democrats).
Cao is a good man, let’s cut him some slack on this one.
ACORN’s New Orleans Office Raided By Louisiana Attorney General
From Big Government:
In a fast-breaking development comes word that agents of the Attorney’s General office in Louisiana have raided ACORN’s offices in New Orleans. ACORN’s New Orleans was, for decades, the headquarters of the national community organizing association. News of the raid comes from Marcel Reid and her colleagues at ACORN 8, an association of former ACORN leaders and board members. Many of the individuals involved with ACORN 8 were fired from ACORN for demanding a forensic audit following an embezzlement scandal involving Dale Rathke, brother of ACORN co-founder Wade Rathke.
Keep checking back to Big Government for more details as this story unfolds. We’ll post the highlights here as well.

New Phony Racism Charge From The Left
Not a week goes by without the far-left leveling a fresh racism charge against anyone who opposes their odious policies.
The newest cry of phony racism comes from the left-wing gangsters at the AFL-CIO — and their target is the US Chamber of Commerce.
The AFL-CIO has declared a new anti-ObamaCare ad from The Chamber is…wait for it…RACIST!!!! If they don’t like it, that means it’s racist.
The Huffington Post is of course all over it:
A new Chamber of Commerce ad attacking Democratic-led efforts to pass health care legislation includes a storyline that union critics of the group say is rife with racial undertones.
In the new spot, titled “Millions,” the business lobby goes after health reform by arguing that it could “wipe out even more jobs” than those lost so far. But the group does so in a peculiar and perhaps controversial way.
The scenario of a distraught boss forced to fire an employee is illustrated by a white worker being summoned to the office as a black co-worker looks on.
An official with the AFL-CIO, who saw the ad air on Wednesday morning, argued that it was a perpetuation of the stereotype that minorities have a leg up on their colleagues because of affirmative-action policies. It gets at the heart of concerns raised by labor leaders like the AFL-CIO’s president, Richard Trumka, who fretted during the 2008 presidential campaign that Barack Obama’s candidacy would spur racial unrest within work forces.
“This is the same old right wing dog whistle politics,” said Eddie Vale, spokesman for the AFL-CIO. “They’re trying to use race and class to scare working people about a health care bill.”
The Chamber scoffed at the charge. “Really?” emailed spokesman Eric Wohlschlegel, in a succinct and dismissed response.
Here’s the incredibly offensive ad:
As Michelle Malkin rightly points out, had a white employer fired a black worker in the ad, big labor would have cried racism. If the ad had no blacks in it at all — that too would have been called racist.
Truly amazing.
GOP Captures New Jersey!
From The AP:
Chris Christie, an aggressive former prosecutor who racked up a perfect conviction rate in public corruption cases and became the darling of New Jersey’s Republican Party establishment, has unseated the deep-pocketed but unpopular Gov. Jon Corzine.
Christie, 47, on Tuesday became the first member of his party in a dozen years to win a statewide contest in heavily Democratic New Jersey. President Barack Obama invested heavily in the race, campaigning with Corzine five times on three separate visits.
Democrats can try and spin this all they want, but republicans kicked some liberal ass tonight. New Jersey is deep blue and far left so it’s a big deal that republicans were able to take it. That said, Corzine was a horrific governor who turned the state into a basket case.
Congratulations to Chris Christie for an amazing victory!

10,000 Turn Out For Houston Tea Party
I’m proud to say more than 10,000 people turned out here in Houston for a tea party held at Sam Houston Raceway Park. One of the featured speakers was none other than Lord Christopher Monckton. Monckton is a former aide to Margaret Thatcher and a climate expert. He spoke about Al Gore’s phony global warming and the danger of America losing its freedom through global warming legislation, etc. Even better, he said it all while wearing a cowboy hat. It just doesn’t get any better than that.
Here’s a local media report:
Is The NRCC Conceding To Hoffman In NY-23?
RedState says the NRCC has all but given up NY-23. It looks like backing phony Republican Dede Scozzafava wasn’t such a bright idea. Take that, Newt.
