A Colorado woman was pummeled in a McDonald’s drive-thru after telling black patrons it was not cool to dump their trash on the street.

The victim just came forward to ask the community for help in identifying the attackers.
WTSP reported:

Police are investigating a vicious beating at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Denver.

Shannon, who asked us not to use her last name, was the victim of an attack on May 9 just before noon.

She called our sister station KUSA 9News, and asked for help finding her attackers.

“I don’t feel safe anymore,” Shannon said.

The attack happened in the middle of the busy lunch hour at the McDonald’s on 3300 Colorado Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Radio reference recorded dispatchers describing the attack, as multiple 911 calls came in.

“Two black females are inside. They’re fighting inside the car still in the drive-thru,” one dispatcher can be heard saying.

Shannon has been coming to the same drive-thru almost every day for five years without a problem… until this incident.

“I witnessed this young lady throwing trash out of her car and all I said was that it wasn’t cool,” Shannon said.

A few choice words later, Shannon thought the argument was over.

“All of a sudden I was being attacked,” Shannon said.

Two women jumped out of the car in front of her.

“She was right in my window just punching me in my face, pulling my hair,” Shannon said. “She started biting on my hands so severely. I thought she was gonna bite ‘em off, actually.”

Then a man jumped out of the car and threw a soda through her window.

“He said, ‘This is for you, you white b—-. This is a grape soda.’ And then they took off,” Shannon said.

Shameless Harry Reid blamed the Tea Party today for the looming “taxmaggedon.”
…Because we all know the Tea Party wants more taxes and spending.

It’s not the first time Harry Reid has attacked the Tea Party.

ABC-Yahoo reported:

Another line in the sand has been drawn as Congress faces a daunting lame-duck year-end fiscal crisis dubbed around Capitol Hill as “Taxmaggedon.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., responded to a letter from Senate Republicans today in which they called for an immediate extension of the Bush tax cuts, with a message of his own: that’s impossible before the election.

“Once Republicans are willing to abandon their commitment to more tax breaks for multi-millionaires and special interests and their plans to end Medicare, I am confident that we can reach an agreement,” Reid wrote. “Unfortunately, it appears that Republicans blind adherence to Tea Party extremism is making it impossible to reach this sort of balanced agreement before the election.”

Congress is facing a year-end intersection of the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, the $1.2 trillion spending cuts due to the sequester, and expiring payroll tax breaks, meaning that if Congress and the president do not act, American taxpayers could be faced with $310 billion in tax increases next year.

Last week 41 Republican Senators sent a letter to Reid demanding Reid start acting now rather than wait for the perfect storm to develop at the end of the year.

“Instead of addressing this fiscal cliff, President Obama and Congress have spent much of the past year advancing misguided redistributionist policies in the name of fairness,” the Republican senators wrote. “It is essential that Congress and the president address these coming tax increases this summer than creating additional uncertainty for families and job creators by awaiting until the last possible minute.”

When you can’t run on your record you lob bombs like this…
Minority Leader James Clyburn (D-SC) told MSNBC that Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were “raping” troubled companies when they were trying to save them.
Yup. It was just like rape.

It’s not the first time the regime has cracked down on dog owners. (Tribune)

The Iranian regime started its latest crackdown on women in “vulgar” Un-Islamic dress and “impure” dogs in public.
YNet News reported, via ROP:

While Iran’s leadership is showing signs of cooperation with the West in nuclear talks, the Islamic Republic’s law enforcement authorities continue their efforts to fight “outside influences.”

Tehran police are beefing up enforcement of Islamic law against women improperly dressed ahead of the summer, and adding a new target: pet dogs.

Police in Tehran are conducting a new crackdown on women wearing mandatory headscarves improperly or in “vulgar” dress.

Typically, such women are fined or detained in police stations until relatives collect them hours later with more modest clothing.

As part of police operations in Tehran, officers also issue warnings to dog owners walking their pets outside. In Sharia-ruled Iran, dogs are considered “impure.” Dozens of dogs in Tehran were round up last month and placed in quarantine.

Iran’s Islamist rulers consider ownership of pet animals “un-Islamic.” Authorities distinguish between pet dogs and “work dogs” used for guarding and helping in rescue missions.

Crazy Uncle Joe blamed the Tea Party today for Obama’s failed economic record.

The Examiner reported:

Vice President Joe Biden admitted to a group of supporters in New Hampshire this afternoon that the President would have been able help the economy “much, more” if the Tea Party hadn’t taken the House.

Biden showed the audience the Obama campaigns chart of job growth during the President’s first term in office and accused the Tea Party for stalling the recovery, because of the debt limit fight.

“Imagine where we’d be if the Tea Party hadn’t taken control of the House of Representatives,” Biden said adding that they were “a group set on obstructionism.”

“They have one overwhelming goal: prevent President Obama from a second term, with no – apparently no care of the consequences to the economy,” he said. Biden insisted that the president persevered in spite of their obstruction and demonstrated “important progress” that could be measured.

Yup.
It’s the Tea Party’s fault that Barack Obama added a record $5 trillion in new debt in just three years.

It’s the Tea Party’s fault Obama tripled the national deficit above one trillion dollars.

(J. Hoft Chart)

It’s the Tea Party’s fault that the labor force participation rate is at the lowest level since 1981.

It’s the Tea Party’s fault more people dropped out of the work force last month than found jobs.

That’s right, Joe. It’s the Tea Party’s fault.

The Obama Administration will blow $20 million on ads to promote Obamacare before the election. And you get to pay for the ads.

The contract was awarded to the same company, Porter Novelli, that produced the taxpayer-funded Andy Griffith Obamacare ads in 2010.

The Hill reported:

The Health and Human Services Department has signed a $20 million contract with a public-relations firm to highlight part of the Affordable Care Act.

The new, multimedia ad campaign is designed to educate the public about how to stay healthy and prevent illnesses, an HHS official said.

The campaign was mandated by the Affordable Care Act and must describe the importance of prevention while also explaining preventive benefits provided by the healthcare law. The law makes many preventive services available without a co-pay or deductible, and provides new preventive benefits to Medicare patients.

Then there’s this…
Doug Powers reported: Google “Porter Novelli” and “Obama” and you’ll find a few unsurprising connections to the current administration and the Dems in general. And don’t forget about campaign donations.

The North Carolina student who was abused by an unhinged teacher for not supporting Obama was on FOX and Friends this morning.
Hunter Rogers talked about his ordeal in the classroom with his far left teacher.

FOX News Insider reported:

A teacher is now suspended with pay after audio was found of her yelling at a student for criticizing President Obama. It all began in the classroom when the topic of the day was a discussion regarding GOP contender Mitt Romney being a bully in high school. When the student challenged the teacher, the audio reveals she began yelling at him.

In the audio clip, she said, “That’s disrespect!” The student then responds, “You’re disrespecting Romney!” That, of course, prompts another response from the teacher, who says, “How’s that disrespect? He’s not the president! You will not disrespect the President of the United States in this classroom!”

The student involved in that incident, Hunter Rogers, and his mother, Gina Rogers, spoke out about this matter on today’s Fox and Friends. After he asked the teacher if Obama had been a bully, he said she immediately got defensive and responded, “Not to my knowledge.”

When he played the audio tape of his argument with the teacher for his mom, she said her immediate reaction was “shocked.” While Gina doesn’t think the teacher should’ve started a political discussion in the classroom, her biggest concern is that the teacher is not teaching students factual information.

Hunter responded, “I’ve been told in my life that you’d have to threaten the president to get arrested, and she kept telling me over and over again people were arrested for disrespecting and slandering the president. At the time, I wanted to laugh.”

Far left unhinged Obamabot Tonya Dixon-Neely was suspended from North Rowan High School in North Carolina after a video of her threatening a student who criticized Barack Obama went viral.

Pass the popcorn.
The Democrat-media complex is in full damage control after Newark Mayor Cory Booker attacked the Obama campaign for their nauseating attacks on Bain Capital.

Chris Matthews went off on Booker last night.
“Booker Heard Everything Obama Said & Declared: “It’s Not True!” ”
Waah!

And, Booker went on MSNBC last night to apologize again for straying from the Obama plantation on Sunday.
Yahoo reported:

For the second day, Newark Mayor Cory Booker scrambled to clarify his comments criticizing the Obama campaign’s assault on Mitt Romney’s job creation record at Bain Capital after he sent the Obama administration into full blown damage-control while the GOP continued to take full advantage of the New Jersey mayor’s blunder on “Meet the Press.”

Booker called Team Obama’s Bain attack “nauseating” political discourse with which Booker has become “very uncomfortable,” on CBS’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

The GOP quickly responded by sending out an email today to supporters reading, “Do you know what Obama does with people who stand up for job creators? He silences them. That’s right. By Sunday evening the Obama campaign had pressured Booker into taking back his support of the free market … Don’t let the White House silence free enterprise! If you agree, then please sign our petition: I STAND WITH CORY BOOKER” And if you missed the email, the landing page for www.GOP.com currently reads: ‘I stand with Cory.’”

Booker responded to the GOP’s email on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show” on Monday night.

“That slogan had me and my entire staff really fit to be tied,” he said. “Here they are plucking sound bites out of [the 'Meet The Press'] interview to manipulate them in a cynical manner, to use them for their own purposes … I’m very upset that I’m being used by the GOP this way.”

Booker told Maddow that he doesn’t plan to stay quiet.

Good golly he screwed up.
If the Democrat-media complex can’t focus on Mitt they’ll have to look at Obama’s devastating record. No wonder they’re so panicked.

It pays to go green – with Barack.

Jason and Arvia Few are Obama bundlers. (Black Tie)

The husband of one of Barack Obama’s top bundlers has received $1.2 billion in federal loan guarantees from the Obama Administration.
The Free Beacon reported:

New disclosures show that one of President Obama’s bundlers is the wife of an executive at an energy company that received a more-than-$1.2 billion Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee for a solar power plant.

Arvia Few is a bundler for the Obama re-election campaign who has promised to raise between $50,000 and $100,000. She began bundling for Obama in the first quarter of 2012. Her husband, Jason Few, is an executive at a company that has benefited handsomely from the Obama administration’s clean energy spending, records show.

The U.S. Department of Energy granted NRG Solar a $1.237-billion loan in September 2011 to help build NRG’s California Valley Solar Ranch, which is described as “a 250 MW alternating current PV solar generating facility” by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Few became senior vice president of Houston-based Reliant Energy in 2008. He was named President of Reliant in May 2009 when NRG Energy acquired Reliant for $287.5 million. He currently serves as executive vice president and chief customer officer of NRG Energy.

“This investment and its outcome represent a pattern in which the Obama Department of Energy took promises of technological development with an undue amount of credence,” says energy expert Kenneth P. Green, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
