"Stein not only told Bream that Obama was the most racist in history, but pointed out the historically accurate fact that it was the Democrat Party that championed and fought to keep slavery, as well as the party that crafted Jim Crow laws and voted in-large against the civil rights laws in the 1960′s.

“The Republicans are the most pro-black party there’s ever been,” Stein said. “The Republicans are the ones who passed all the civil rights laws back in the 60′s, not the Democrats,” he reminded the audience. "

Ship Ahoy: WXYZ's Ronnie Dahl Asks Why Detroit Has So Many Abandoned Boats

Ship Ahoy: WXYZ's Ronnie Dahl Asks Why Detroit Has So Many Abandoned Boats –  Deadline Detroit:
"Ronnie Dahl asks a question on WXYZ-TV that many Detroiters have often asked: Why are there so many abandoned boats in the city?

In her travels across Detroit on others stories, Dahl noticed the boats -- almost all personal pleasure craft -- that sit, motorless, serving as oversized garbage cans. 

She started snapping photos and decided to trace one of the boats -- "an 18-foot monster" on Eastwood Street -- through the registration number on its bow.

Dahl, wearing a captain's hat -- it's TV, remember -- shows up at a home in Clinton Township with the boat in tow. 

"Guess what? I found your boat," Dahl says, greeting the man. 

The supposed owner is a cool customer: 

He refrains from acting out like many alleged perpetrators when confronted on camera, and insists the boat never belonged to him -- despite evidence produced by Dahl."

The democrat party assures us there is NO voter fraud------First case of voter fraud confirmed in Rio Arriba Co.

First case of voter fraud confirmed in Rio Arriba Co. | KOB.com:

"The first case of voter fraud in New Mexico this election has been confirmed by the Rio Arriba County Clerk's Office.
According to the Rio Arriba County Clerk's office, a voter trying to cast an early ballot in Espanola Saturday was told he had already voted three days prior. 
The man told poll workers he hadn't voted.
He was then shown the signature of the voter, but he says it wasn't his signature.
Officials say they were able to confirm that the signature on the original ballot did not match the legal voter's signature on file.
Poll workers allowed the man to vote on a provisional ballot, but election officials will have to determine whether the provisional ballot can be counted.
Elections officials have no legal means of actually verifying signatures or confirming identification of a voter."

Dem Sen. Mary Landrieu In Hot Water For Describing Constituents As Racist and Sexist

Dem Sen. Mary Landrieu In Hot Water For Describing Constituents As Racist and Sexist:

"As she continues her bid to convince Louisianans that she deserves another term in the U.S. Senate, Mary Landrieu offered a candid take on the ostensible difficulties she is currently facing as a Democrat woman in the south.

Despite the fact that candidates in her party are shunning Barack Obama in every corner of the nation, she suggested that her neck of the woods is inherently less receptive to a black president."

The 15 Worst Democrat Gaffes This Election

The 15 Worst Democrat Gaffes This Election - Cortney O'Brien
Let's take a look at some of the worst mistakes Dems have made on the campaign trail so far:

1.) That awful/insensitive/shameful and now infamous ad from the Wendy Davis (D-TX) gubernatorial campaign.

2.) Those colorful campaign memos from Michelle Nunn’s (D-GA) campaign, in which her own campaign referred to her as a “lightweight.”

3.) Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) saying he was “brain dead" after he couldn't answer a simple, softball question.

4.) Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) struggling to offer an answer as to how the Obama administration has handled the Ebola crisis. MSNBC even mocked him for that interview.

5.) Alison Lundergan Grimes (D-Ky.) refusing to say if she voted for President Obama.

6.) Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu (D) claiming Louisiana is full of sexists and racists.

7.) Sen. Mark Begich (D-AK) trying to use Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski in his campaign ad, then ignoring her request to take her picture out of the ad, claiming she simply didn’t like of the picture. (Those easily offended women’s rights groups have yet to confront him about it.)
8.) Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) rudely interrupting her opponent Scott Brown (R) during his final comments at a recent debate. She was booed.

9.) Sen. Begich forgetting that almost anyone can access YouTube and catch him in a lie.

10.) Michelle Obama getting Bruce Braley’s (D-Iowa) name wrong – multiple times.

11.) Landrieu makes another appearance on this list for having to pay back thousands of dollars to her constituents for flights she took to fundraisers or other campaign events that were inappropriately billed to her Senate office.

12.) Martha Coakley (D-MA) getting the current gas tax in Massachusetts very wrong

13.) The revelation that Mary Burke’s (D-WI) family fired her from their family business for “incompetence.”

14.) DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz claiming that President Obama has joined Democrats on the campaign trail, then failing to name even oneSenate race for which he's campaigned.

15.) Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) neglecting to show up to the final debate with her GOP challenger Thom Tillis in one of the country's tighest races, giving him a whole hour to state his case uncontested. Hagan's absence even prompted a rantfrom liberal MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow.

"This was quite possibly the quickest/easiest list I’ve ever compiled. I wonder how much it'll grow by Tuesday."

Looking at a dynamic map of the war shows just how hard-pressed the Confederacy was from the start — and how the Union attacked from all sides to crush the South."

Soooo, every promise you made was a sham?-----Antarctic Ozone Hole Remains at the Same Size as North America

Antarctic Ozone Hole Remains at the Same Size as North America | General News:
"Scientists previously expected to reduce in size quickly when the use of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) substances were banned 27 years ago, but it remains the same level as it is in 2010 to 2013.
....Scientists remain uncertain why the hole has not reduced more since the Montreal Protocol agreement was signed by countries in 1987.
This global treaty bans the use of CFCs substances that were widely-used in household and industrial products such as refrigerators, spray cans, insulation foam and fire suppressants.
...They said had the Montreal Protocol not sign, the atmospheric levels of ozone depleting substances could have increased tenfold by 2050."

Japan gets green boom-and glut

Japan gets green boom _ and glut:

“Kyushu electric shock is spreading in a domino effect,” said Oba. “It’s like fraud on the national level, with utility companies and the government in cahoots with each other.”

Traumatized by the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl and encouraged by the highest rates for renewable energy in the world, Japan has been undergoing a green boom. It’s now rapidly turning into a fiasco as the cost proves prohibitive and utilities anticipate putting some nuclear reactors, shuttered since the March 2011 Fukushima disaster, back online. The unfolding green glut in Japan echoes similar experiences in Germany and Spain.

CNN has taken a very strong position on global warming, [saying] that it is a consensus. Well there is no consensus in science. Science isn’t a vote.
