Former "HOUSE" Star Links White House to NEA Scandal
from the Washington Examiner
Former actor and present White House associate director of public engagement Kalpen Modi was directly involved in planning the controversial conference call hosted by a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) flack to encourage tax-supported artists to create propaganda for President Obama, according to emails obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The emails reveal that Modi worked with now-former NEA national communications director Yosif Sargant in planning the August 10 conference call that was first revealed by Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood.com web site. Participants in the conference call were encouraged to use their talents to generate public support for the Obama agenda in Congress.
Shocking? Only to idiots.
Unhinged Chuck Caputo thugs and their children Harass Jim LeMunyon
Not that Jim didn't handle himself with poise and class, but what kind of degenerate politician has their supporters show up to harass their opponent? What kind of parent has their teenager engage in such a disrespectful display? I wonder if the teen in the report was one of the teens in the illegal and unethical photo taken at Chantilly HS.
The examiner reports
the most contentious point of the evening came from two Caputo supporters who berated Jim LeMunyon on his social stances. One gentleman had to be asked by the moderators to refrain from his increasingly hostile and incomprehensible line of questioning after accosting Mr. LeMunyon for not supporting abortion or his wishes to marry another man. Mr. LeMunyon tried to calmly state his position but was continually interrupted by the irate man.
After an almost identical question from a teenager in the audience Mr. LeMunyon explained,"I think it's important that the government leave people alone, to get back to the idea of limited government. There are going to be those cases when government needs to interact and intersect with those positions. My positions are very clear on that and I understand that people disagree on those things."
When the teenager continued to press for a different answer Mr. LeMunyon said, "I respect your point of view and we will have to agree to disagree."
A Chuck Caputo supporter then proceeded to yell out an expletive not suitable for print.
Mr. LeMunyon bravely held his own and responded, "I’m proud of my pro-life stance."
The attacks on Mr. LeMunyon seemed too rehearsed to be by chance. In a recent television ad, Mr. LeMunyon berates Del. Caputo for going on vacation instead of attending a special legislative session on transportation in 2008, missing 39 votes. In that ad he shows a picture of his opponent wearing a festive Hawaiian lei. In a supposed sign of solidarity for missing those votes, about 15 Caputo supporters wore lei’s to the forum. Those supporters were at the center of the agitation for Mr. LeMunyon and the GOP candidates.
Chuck Caputo is the kind of man who has his supporters harass his opponent at a meeting, he is the kind of man who uses the families of murder victims in his ads to mislead voters, He is the kind of man who uses our children and public schools while breaking FCPS regulations and Finance Laws........ Vote for Jim LeMunyon, we need someone with integrity representing us.

Virginia GOP Poised for Big Comeback
Doug Mataconis over at PJmedia
While Deeds was busy talking about the thesis, McDonnell was doing what he’d been doing since he began his campaign. He was talking about the issues that have been at the forefront of Virginia politics for years: the economy, transportation, and the state budget. Republicans had not connected with voters on these issues in the past, and that was one of the reasons that they’d suffered defeat in four consecutive years. By contrast, Creigh Deeds seemed to be unable to come up with proposals that consisted of anything other than generalities. Independent groups criticized Deeds for not having a coherent transportation plan as late as September, and voters clearly noticed.
McDonnell addressed voters concerns while Deeds insulted their intelligence.

DNC Celebrates Desecrated Flag
Desecrated flag' video is DNC finalist
One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.
Can we call them unpatriotic yet?

Caputo 's Campaign treasurer is PTSA President at Chantilly High School
Shouldn't the parents of Chantilly been told that the PTSA President was so involved with a democratic candidate for office?
Caputo's campaign took pictures inside Chantilly High School using Chantilly Students which is against FCPS regulations and also possibly breaks Virginia campaign Finance Law.

Caputo Stages Campaign Photo Shoot in Chantilly High School Classroom
Uses Picture in Attack Ad Against LeMunyon
Chantilly—A recent campaign mailer issued by Delegate Chuck Caputo criticizing Republican challenger Jim LeMunyon includes a picture of a classroom packed with out-of-control students. It has been determined conclusively that the classroom is located at Chantilly High School, and that the photo was clearly staged for campaign purposes. The picture includes numerous Chantilly High School students showing disrespect for school property, and a Caputo paid campaign staffer, who is not a CHS student, sitting on top of a tall cabinet.
“Virginia law clearly prohibits the use of tax dollars, directly or indirectly, to further the interests of a partisan political campaign. You don’t need to be a lawyer to know this,” said Tim Edson, LeMunyon for Delegate campaign manager. “In addition, Fairfax County Public School regulations clearly prohibit such activity. Mr. Caputo owes the taxpayers an apology for this abuse.”
“Jim LeMunyon has met privately with the Chantilly High School principal, Jim Kacur, on this matter. We are satisfied that Mr. Kacur is taking actions necessary to stop the Caputo campaign from continuing to use the photo to attack Jim LeMunyon during the remaining days of the campaign. We also understand that Mr. Kacur has launched an internal investigation at CHS to determine how this violation of school regulations occurred,” said Edson.
Caputo may also be in trouble with respect to Virginia’s campaign finance law, which requires that non-cash, “in-kind” contributions of value be reported by the campaign to the State Board of Elections along with cash contributions. Mr. Caputo’s finance reports make no reference to an in-kind contribution by Chantilly High School for use of the space for the photo shoot, nor any reference that the school was paid by the campaign to use the space.
By "coincidence", Mr. Caputo’s campaign treasurer,Ted Velkoff , is also the PTA president at Chantilly High School.
“After Election Day, we expect to refer this matter to Virginia’s next Attorney General for review,” said Edson. References to the relevant Fairfax County School regulations are available from the LeMunyon campaign.
how interesting that TED VELKOFF President of Chantilly High School PTSA also Happens to be CHUCK CAPUTO'S CAMPAIGN TREASURER

CHUCK CAPUTO STOOPS TO NEW POLITICAL LOW
More Greasy Dirty Fingers of the "CHICAGO WAY Democrat Party" all over another Chuck Caputo Ad.
This ad has the picture of a father holding a photo of his daughter who was a victim of the Virginia Tech Shooting.
It says "Chuck Caputo is making sure such a tragedy never happens again."
There they go insulting our intelligence again!
How is Chuck Caputo going to do that with a part time job as a delegate?
It says in the ad that Chuck will 'ADVOCATE FOR COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS" Good Grief! Does anyone in Fairfax County believe that gun laws stop gun crime? We live a stones throw from DC where they have strict gun laws and thousands of gun murders a year . Same with Chicago!
In order to produce this flyer, Chuck Caputo's people had to contact a grieving Father months ago and ask his permission to USE the MURDER of his daughter for Chucks Political Gain. What kind of despicable person even comes up with such an idea let alone implements and approves it?!
Wrap those facts around your brain and then ask yourself if you want a man like that representing you.
Chuck Caputo has stooped to a new low in local Virginia politics. He's a disgrace

Chuck Caputo is Another Democrat who Thinks Voters are Stupid
What is it with the dems insulting the American people's intelligence every time there is an election or a Bill they want to pass? They lie, mislead and go so far off the grid that you wonder if they are really that stupid or is it they think that "We the People" are that stupid. Just because Obama was elected doesn't mean "We the People" are stupid. It just means that too many of us weren't paying close enough attention.
Yesterday I got a mailer from Chuck Caputo, on the front was a picture of a white, blond, little girl with bruises on her face. The heading said " JIM LEMUNYON WOULD ALLOW HER ABUSER TO BUY A GUN"
It goes on to explain that Federal Law prohibits convicted abusers but leaps to the conclusion that Jim LeMunyon wants abusers to have guns because he says the Federal Law is enough.
This ad not only is a ridiculous LIE and disgraceful display of desperation it insults the intelligence of the Voters in Virginia. Anyone who believes this ad should not be allowed to vote. And any politician who approved such a ad should be thrown out of office. This add has the corrupt, greasy fingerprints of the "CHICAGO WAY Democrat Party" all over it.
In previous posts, I said Chuck Caputo was a nice guy but the wrong guy. After yesterdays ad I no longer believe that. Chuck Caputo is just another lying politician who will say and do anything to keep his job and has no problem insulting your intelligence in order to do it. Teach Chuck Caputo and all politicians that the way to keep their job is not by lying, misleading and cheating but by doing what is best for all the voters not just his UNION bosses.

McDonnell Leads by 11 POINTS!
MANDATE
The Post does it's best to defend Obama and make this kind of crushing defeat not about the President, but this kind of reality is difficult to deflect. Of course Virginia is a mandate on Obama and the Democrats performance. If Deeds was behind by less than 5 or tied, you could blame the loss on Deeds, BUT this election looks like it will be a crushing defeat, and that you can lay at Obama's clay feet.
McDonnell holds double-digit advantages when it comes to dealing with the economy (plus 17 percentage points), transportation (16 points), taxes (25 points) and has overtaken Deeds as the one more trusted to handle issues of special concern to women (7 points). On taxes, which has been a focal point of the campaign in recent weeks, McDonnell has stretched his lead significantly, and now holds a better than 2 to 1 lead over Deeds among independent voters.

Lisa Miller Confronts Newt Gingrich at his McLean Book Signing
If you attended the Webb or Connolly Tea Party rally's in Northern Virginia this past summer, chances are you ran into Lisa Miller . Lisa has her own channel on youtube and has done a lot of wonderful work. You can follow Lisa on teapartyning and on Facebook.
This Saturday, Lisa went to Newt Gingrich's book signing and asked him why he endorsed Scozzafava in NY's 23rd district.
http://www.youtube.com/user/1isaM111er#p/u/10/jYlBD_U9BU4
http://www.youtube.com/user/1isaM111er#p/u/2/2pYucU3JS5c
She was noticed by Ed Morrissy of HOTAIR.COM and Ed explains why Newt's explanation to Lisa was wrong.
"If Scozzafava wins it, it will make it more difficult for a fiscal conservative to dislodge her in the 2010 primary. If the Democrat wins it, Pelosi wins one more vote for a year in a chamber which already gives her a 70-seat majority, and Hoffman can run as the truly Republican candidate in 2010."
When Sarah Palin endorsed Hoffman, Hoffman raised $116,000 in ONE DAY! Believe me when I tell you ..that got the attention of the NY and NATIONAL GOP more than the 1 MILLION of us who showed up in DC on 912.
In Politics, Money has the loudest voice.
A $5.00 donation from tens of thousands of people is real money! Sending a small donation to CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES all over the country will be a POWERFUL message to the Old Guard
Eric Erikson over at REDSTATE.com is a great source. He keeps track of good candidates all over the country.
Here's Eric's take on NY23
I have been clear that I agree with the GOP to the extent that candidates should match their districts. I am not opposed to, for example, a Mark Kirk in Illinois, or a Mike Castle in Delaware, though I won’t lift a finger to help him. I understand that to get to 51% we have to have our share of Chris Shays’s.
But, in races like the Florida Senate and New York 23, when a conservative can win, a conservative should be supported. Conservatives are the base of the Republican Party.
I hope I have helped change the party’s electoral orthodoxy. Right now it involves telling the base to fork over the dough and shut the hell up.
We will no longer stay silent. NY-23 makes very clear that the GOP needs the conservative base more than the conservative base needs the GOP.

Read it in it's entirety over at RedState
As Attorney General, I will use the tools of the office, including the 10th Amendment, to oppose “Ration and Tax” and to preserve the opportunity for Virginians to have the energy they need to be successful in today’s difficult economy.

DOUG HOFFMAN RAISES $116,000 IN ONE DAY AFTER PALINS ENDORSEMENT
Just how effective has Sarah Palin’s intervention in the NY23 special election been? Douglas Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate that got Palin’s endorsement, raised $116,000 in a single day, according to a source within the campaign.
If Doug Hoffman wins this election, watch as the liberal media becomes more unhinged and their attacks against Sarah Palin grow even more disgusting.
Chuck Caputo's not a bad guy, He's just another Tax and Spend Liberal
When he bothers to vote, Chuck votes with his tax and spend liberal buddies. He even had the nerve to vote to for illegal aliens to pay IN STATE college tuition!
How would you feel if your son or daughter was turned away from attending the college of their choice because someone who was here illegally got their spot!!! Even the House Democrat Leader voted NO, but Chuck Caputo voted yes.
Send Jim LeMunyon to Richmond.. Stop Tax and Spend Liberals from turning Virginia into another High Tax, High Unemployment state like New York & California!
