West Responds: Ad Depicting Him Beating White Women 'Plays on Stereotypes'
by
John Nolte
Before Americans are able to recover from the shock of Team Obama releasing an ad that accuses Mitt Romney of murder, they will first have to deal with an ad out of Florida that depicts Congressman Allen West as beating the hell out of an elderly white woman -- literally knocking all of her teeth out, before he steals money from a black family:

The evidence connecting the Obama campaign to Priorities USA, a super PAC that launched an appalling and blatantly false attack ad blaming a woman's death on Mitt Romney, is starting to pile up.
Bill Burton runs Priorities USA and was
Obama's deputy press secretary under Robert Gibbs. You can also add in
the fact that the man in the ad telling the undeniably tragic tale of

Carmakers reluctantly agreed to the new requirements, to avoid even more onerous standards, or different standards in different states. But the deal does nothing to alter the harsh realities of such a requirement.

US: Hands off Chick-fil-A – by Lawrence Reed
In
coming weeks, I expect to eat often at Chick-fil-A and not just because
I like the company and the food they serve. I’ll be there as my way of
protesting the disgusting The personal views of Chick-fil-A’s CEO Dan Cathy on gay marriage sparked the recent controversy. It should be noted the company does not discriminate against anybody in its hiring or in whom it serves in its restaurants. Cathy expressed an opinion shared by millions of Americans and, until recently, even by President Obama.
