This Is the Downer We've Been Waiting For!

Do you feel the leaked information from a global warming alarmist organization is meaningful?



After NBC canceled me "for life" on Monday -- until seven or eight hours later when the ban was splashed across the top of The Drudge Report, forcing a red-faced NBC to withdraw the ban -- an NBC insider told The Drudge Report: "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," explaining that "it's such a downer. It's just not the time, and it's not what our audience wants, either."

In point of fact, I'm not particularly critical of Obama in my new book. I'm critical of the media for behaving like a protection racket for Obama rather than the constitutionally protected guardians of our liberty that they claim to be. So I think what the NBC insider meant to say is that NBC is not interested in anyone so highly critical of NBC right now. It's such a downer, it's just not the time, and it's not what their audience wants right now, either.

In fact, I think my book is the downer America has been waiting for! So herewith, I present an excerpt from the smash new book out this week, Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America:

When the Obama family materialized, the media was seized by a mass psychosis that hadn't been witnessed since Beatlemania. OK! magazine raved that the Obamas "are such an all-American family that they almost make the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional." Yes, who can forget the madcap episode when the Bradys' wacky preacher tells them the government created AIDS to kill blacks!

Still gushing, OK! magazine's crack journalists reported: "Mom goes to bake sales, dad balances the checkbook, and the girls love Harry Potter" -- and then the whole family goes to a racist huckster who shouts, "God damn America!"

Months before network anchors were interrogating vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the intricacies of foreign policy, here is how NBC's Brian Williams mercilessly grilled presidential candidate Barack Obama: "What was it like for you last night, the part we couldn't see, the flight to St. Paul with your wife, knowing what was awaiting?"

Twisting the knife he had just plunged into Obama, Williams followed up with what has come to be known as a "gotcha" question: "And you had to be thinking of your mother and your father." Sarah Palin was memorizing the last six kings of Swaziland for her media interviews, but Obama only needed to say something nice about his parents to be considered presidential material.

The media's fawning over Obama knew no bounds, and yet, in the midst of the most incredible media conspiracy to turn this jug-eared clodhopper into some combination of Winston Churchill and a young Elvis, you were being a bore if you mentioned the liberal media. Oh surely we've exploded that old chestnut. ... Look! Look, Obama just lit up another Marlboro! Geez, does smoking make you look cool, or what! Yeah, Obama!. Continued...

Ann, keep up the good work!!
I just wanted to tell you that I really admire you for what you are doing for those of us out here who are conservatives in the strictest sense of the word. You do speak for us and like the lady said, there are 47 million of us still out here wondering what in the world is going to happen to America now that the democrats are in office again. We are worried and concerned and feel like our country is heading in a very bad direction. Obama passing the abortion bill today is just a reminder of what kind of merciless and cruel direction he wants to take this country in. Personally as a hard worker in my own business I do not want my tax dollars paying for women all over the world to end their baby's life. How can this be happening to our country. It has got to be one of the worst things that could happen. Our Heavenly Father cannot bless this in any way, shape or fashion, yet he sits there and acts like he has done something wonderful and even stated on the Saddleback program with Pastor Warren that he was a Christian and knew the Lord. This seems so terrible to me right now. I voted for McCain and I prayed that he would be voted in for President but it did not happen and I have to think that the Lord gave us a Christian president for 8 years and now we have one that is not for some reason maybe to open some people's eyes. Thank you for allowing us to express our deepest feelings and once again Ann, we think you are doing a wonderfully great job. Keep up the great work.

Anne
