— Van Jones confession r. Palin: “We were scared!” —
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3218318/posts
On CNN Tuesday night, activist and former Obama green jobs czar Van Jones and television and radio host and author of “Hands Off My Gun” Dana Loesch discussed the latest Palin-bashing extravaganza the media is currently wallowing in. During the festivities, Van Jones let it slip that maybe Sarah Palin wasn’t as dumb and worthless as Democrats have tried to paint her for every second of every day since the moment she took the national stage. He opined:
“Sarah Palin .. people forget. She had the Democratic party shaking in our boots in 2008. She came out, she gave that speech at the convention. That was, hands down, one of the best convention speeches - not by a woman, by anybody in 2008. People were running for the hills.”
Loesch immediately pointed out that the narrative in 2008 was that Palin was too dumb to be considered for office, and that the conventional wisdom everyone was supposed to buy, that she brought the ticket down, didn’t match Van Jones’ characterization. But Van Jones had an explanation for that. They were just liars.
“Now it can be told! Now it can be told! We were scared!”
It’s the second time this week that Democrats have said in public that they lie to get elected. [snip]

ObamaCare Returns as an Election Albatross
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3218532/posts
Karl Rove: Democrats assumed earlier this year that ObamaCare would be a political advantage by Election Day. North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan, for example, said in February she wanted to show the Affordable Care Act “is something whose time is come.” A month later Colorado Sen. Mark Udall said “we did the right thing” in passing the law and told voters he “would do it again,” a response echoed by incumbents Mark Pryor (Arkansas) and Mary Landrieu (Louisiana). It isn’t working out that way. As the election nears, ObamaCare is re-emerging as a major liability for the Democratic Senate that passed it.... [snip]

David Petraeus: ‘People Saw ISIS Coming’ [The Blaze]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3218486/posts
Former CIA Director David Petraeus said in a new interview that the rise of the Islamic State was “well known” among people monitoring the situation within the U.S. government, and that it was able to flourish amid the chaos of the civil war in Syria. “ISIS in a sense is the evolution of an organization that we did defeat, Al Qaeda in Iraq,” Petraeus told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview published Monday. “Some of the very hard work we did to help re-establish the fabric of Iraqi society — to bring the Sunni Arabs back into Iraqi society and...

The Truth about the “Palin Brawl” – The Media Reveals Its Bias Against Conservative Women Once Again
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3218487/posts
Bristol Palin: That’s why, after a month and a half of hearing rumors about myself and family, I’ve finally decided to comment about the situation. Instead of listening to all the people who weren’t there — people who claim they heard this from their cousin/brother/sister-in-law/step-daughter/long lost little brother – let me tell you what actually happened. Our friend got knocked out from a cheap shot from behind. (His injury resulted in ten stitches, so it was really low.) Why would anyone do this? Well, here’s a hint. The guy was on social media during this incident, tweeting, “about to get famous.” ... [snip]

Obama brings in 1,900 people from another Ebola nation [Congo]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3218461/posts
WND | Aaron Klein
Since an outbreak of Ebola hit the Democratic Republic of the Congo in July, the Obama administration has brought into the U.S. at least 1,900 refugees from the disease-stricken nation, WND has learned. Required medical screening for refugees may not detect all diseases. The mandatory blood and urine tests for all refugees would not detect Ebola. The strain of Ebola found in the Congo is slightly different from the virus that has been ravaging West Africa. Researchers have conclude the Congolese outbreak is not connected to the epidemic in West Africa. The U.S. refugee program this year is on pace... [snip]
