The American Pundit

A Democratic official in South Carolina took to Twitter tonight to use racism to attack Governor Nikki Haley (R).

Phil Bailey, political director of the South Carolina Senate Democratic Caucus, referred to Haley — who is Christian — as the “Sikh Jesus”:

@nikkihaley is the Sikh Jesus. She can resurrect an unlawful campaign from the dead by simply appearing at a @SCGOP hearing.

Haley’s opponents have long tried to attack her based on race and the common belief that she is Sikh.

A liberal reporter for Time even once asked her if she tips Sikh cab drivers more than others. They expect her to be as racist as they are.

We’ll wait for the South Carolina Democratic Party to condemn this blatant racism by one of its top officials.

No crap.

Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign faced another setback yesterday after the New England Historic Genealogical Society said there is no proof of her Native American heritage, forcing the novice candidate back to square one in the ongoing scandal, according to pundits.

Warren most recently cited her cousin’s cookbook “Pow Wow Chow” as evidence of her ancestry. I’m not joking. She really did that.

Meanwhile, the Boston Globe — a liberal paper — had to run a correction in Tuesday’s paper retracting their earlier claim of evidence backing up Warren’s story. They now admit they have no evidence she’s Cherokee.

Allahpundit notes it may be prudent for the longterm if Warren came out now and said she was basing her claim on family legend. But then he notes she’s so desperate to show the left she’s standing up the right that she really can’t.

I’ll leave you with this from renowned political analyst and professor Larry Sabato:

“It’s glued to her now. This is going to be with her throughout the campaign,” said Larry Sabato, who heads the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “I don’t know how it goes away when you have so many unanswered questions.”

We can all hope he’s right.

Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) must be really desperate. News comes today that he’s teaming with Martin Sheen — an admitted 9/11 Truther — to raise cash for his reelection campaign.

Sheen, a Dayton native and activist, will attend the lunch and private reception, scheduled for May 30 at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Dayton, with Brown, to raise funds for his political action committee, the Ohio Valley Grassroots Victory Fund.

A private reception will be held with Sheen and the Senator from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Guests are asked to contribute $2,500. Following the reception, the lunch will last until 1:30 p.m. and contribution levels range from $250 to $1,000.

For the 2012 election cycle, Ohio Valley Grassroots Victory Fund has reported $473,000 in receipts and more than $432,000 in disbursements through March, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Desperation ain’t pretty.

Some horrible news out of New York. Mary Kennedy, wife of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., has reportedly been found dead of an apparent suicide. Neither the family nor authorities have confirmed the report.

That’s how unserious Barack Obama’s proposed budget was.

The United States Senate, which Obama’s own party controls by a margin of 53-47, has just rejected the president’s budget proposal unanimously. The final vote was zero votes for the budget, ninety-nine votes against.

This, by the way, was the same budget that failed the House of Representatives unanimously. Not a single member of the president’s own party, including Nancy Pelosi, could stomach his absolutely absurd proposal.

The federal government today released numbers showing that, under Governor Scott Walker’s leadership, the state of Wisconsin has added — yes, added — more than 33,000 jobs.

And by the way, this is an actual count of jobs — not a survey based on theories. From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

The other numbers, from the Quarterly Census, tell a more positive story, one the Walker administration is in a hurry to get out. They are based on a jobs count, not a survey. Each state gathers the quarterly census data from virtually all employers in both the public and private sectors, which are mandated to share staff and wage data as part of their tax and unemployment insurance reports. That makes it a more reliable source of employment data, state officials and many economists say.

The public employee unions are getting desperate. Their activists are now turning to burning pro-Walker yard signs. How very typical. When they can’t win fair and square they turn to intimidation and thuggery.

This is the front against which Walker bravely fought. And it’s not over yet. We can’t get complacent. Walker has a great new ad out today, but he’ll need help keeping it on the air. Please donate what you can.

Breaking…

Conservative candidate and state senator Deb Fischer has defied conventional wisdom, defeating establishment favorite and Attorney General Jon Bruning for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Nebraska.

Earlier tonight, renowned political analyst and professor Larry Sabato confirmed that the Senate race would be considered “Leans Republican” regardless of whether Fischer or Bruning ultimately prevailed.

The Democratic nominee, Bob Kerrey, previously held the seat but quickly moved to New York after retiring. He spent years pushing progressive policies and even toyed with a run for mayor. He’s considered a weaker candidate than Democrats needed to be truly competitive.

Just in case anyone was still under the false impression that Barack Obama totally understands your pain whereas that evil Mitt Romney is, like, rich ‘n stuff.

They’re both rich as hell. Varying degrees of rich as hell, but both rich as hell. Neither feels your pain. Neither is like you. Neither worries about paying his bills.

Now instead of trying to find a presidential candidate who feels your pain, find the one that can competently run the country and create jobs. Barack Obama ain’t it.

Injuries I’m sure he sustained while building houses for Habitat for Humanity.

Or beating the holy hell out of George Zimmerman. Like Zimmerman said had happened.

SANFORD, Fla. — WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died.

The information could support George Zimmerman’s claim that Martin beat him up before Zimmerman shot and killed him.

The autopsy results come as Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara continues to go over other evidence in the case.

O’Mara wouldn’t comment on the autopsy evidence, but WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said it’s better for the defense than it is for the prosecution.

Yeah, lots of questions coming up.

Like if Zimmerman murdered Martin in cold blood, why did Martin allegedly have time to yell for help for an extended period of time? And why did Zimmerman suffer injuries to his head? And if Zimmeran is such a racist, why is he, an Hispanic male, friends with other black men? And why are autopsy results in line with what Zimmerman claimed?

Big donors to the Obama campaign are getting tired of the president demonizing wealth creation while simultaneously accepting millions from wealth creators.

A top fundraiser for President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign expressed disappointment that he is taking money from the private equity industry while simultaneously attacking them to tarnish Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital.

Don Peebles, a Miami real estate executive who has raised more than $100,000 for the president’s campaign this cycle, told BuzzFeed “I think it’s difficult to attack or demonize an industry and then take money from it.”

“I think it’s inconsistent,” he added. “I wonder why the leaders of that industry are supporting him.”

Peebles, who is sometimes described as the largest-scale African-American real estate developer in the country, told BuzzFeed that he was wary of the ads by the Obama campaign and the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA which have attacked Bain Capital.

“Any type of attack and vilification of a particular industry is not okay to begin with,” he said.

The Obama campaign is now and always has been hypocritical about accepting money from industries the president simultaneously demonizes for political gain. It’s just that some of his biggest supporters are starting to take note.
