RedState Briefing 09/21/2012


RedState Morning Briefing
For September 21, 2012



1. Vetting Obama
I want to give special mention this morning at both the top of the Morning Briefing and the top of RedState to the Washington Examiner. Often, conservatives complain that Barack Obama has not been vetted. Honestly, he hasn’t really been vetted. We do not know a lot about Barack Obama from his time before the United States Senate. Much of what we could learn has conveniently disappeared. The few things we do know — like his connections to terrorist Bill Ayers — are dismissed by the media.

The Washington Examiner has spent a lot of time and a great deal of effort vetting Barack Obama in a way the majority of the press corp never would and still won’t.

That is why the biased media wing of the Democrats’ party is desperately trying its darnedest to convince you the election is over.

As Obama’s convention bounce rose to seven points, we saw the smoke from the burning U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya and we saw . . . please click here for the rest of the post 

4. Some Things Never Change: More Teamsters Arrested & Charged Under RICO
Earlier this week, arrests were made and RICO charges filed against four Boston-area Teamsters for “committing multiple acts of extortion and racketeering among other crimes.” While news of a 30-count indictment always generates a fair amount of buzz, the fact is, regardless how much money the Teamsters spend on Democrat politicians, corruption is still alive and well . . . please click here for the rest of the post
