Classic interview by John Stossel of Arianna Huffington which shows just how out of touch those on the left really are….and what hypocrites. You can skip the first 5 minutes, just some background on the lady. The good stuff starts after 5 minutes on:
I love it. She complains about welfare reform but John shows her what welfare reform really did. Eight million left the rolls and the income of low-income families are higher while unemployment is down. Yup, how terrible.
Her excuse for her whining? Its not good enough. Apparently until there is no poor in this country (an unattainable and unrealistic goal) she will not be satisfied.
She champions OSHA but John shows her how workplace accidents were going down for decades prior to OSHA regulations, and they continued going down when OSHA came around.
It’s like government gets in front of the parade and pretends it’s leading the parade.
The hypocrisy part? The environment of course:
STOSSEL: Huffington has also joined the war on global warming. However, you live in a $7 million house. You’re burning more carbon than 100 people in the Third World.
HUFFINGTON: There is no question that the fact that I’m living in a big house, I occasionally travel on private planes, all those things are a contradiction. I’m not setting myself up as some paragon who only goes around on a bicycle and lives by candlelight.
And then we get to the bashing of the right complaining that a McCain presidency would be a disaster because he made deals with the Limbaughs, Coulters and O’Reilly’s who have hijacked public policy. Yet no complaints that Soros and his cronies can set up multiple 527′s and spend millions to do the same thing on the left.
Limbaugh should have the final word on this nutcase and hypocrite:
Limbaugh remembers when Huffington was a conservative and said, “She was just as mixed up then as she is now. She is a silly woman. Fortunately, no one can understand what she’s saying.”
She makes perfect sense to me!

That video was pulled awfully fast. It’s no longer available. I’ve bookmarked your though Fastermu426 haha
Not sure if this is the same or not:

I cannot see the video here. Did she do the interview from that yatch which is as big (if not slightly bigger) than a US Navy Frigate?
Heck, the thing is almost as big as the newest USN Destroyer.
“Did she do the interview from that yatch which is as big (if not slightly bigger) than a US Navy Frigate?”
No, but they did show her Prius….
Was that the Prius she has driven around when not in a stretch limo which makes an M1 Abrams look fuel efficient?
Looking at the ABC article, this line is striking (it is the last line of the article):
“They are very powerful,” she said with a laugh. “Though they will not be as powerful after we finish dealing with them.”
“(A)fter we finish dealing with them.” reeks of the equaly elitist Howard Dean’s interview about using the Federal Goverment against those who did not share his wacky political beliefs. It reeks of a “final solution” mentality of censorship or worse. It smells of the same oppression faced by conservatives on college campuses. It is an all too familiar statement coming from the left and like “death to the infidels” from Islam, it will be poo-pooed until it is too late.
In short, as usual, the left projects the “police state” mentality on the right, but openly desires it… but only when the left is in power.
What a cunning stunt…
“Zhey are very powerful,” she said mit ein laugh. “Zhough zhey vill not be az powerful after ve finish dealing vis zhem.”
creeepy woman! I vaz, I mean was half expecting her to click her heals together, shoot her arm out and shout “Zeig Heinz!” or whatever their current affect is.
As Linbaugh said, it’s fortunate no one can understand what she writes. I tried a couple of times, but it was like playing a kind of demented mental form of “Twister.” Fortunately, I stopped both times before I hurt myself.
well, her past marriage explains alot. most liberals, especially the really crazy ones are middle aged divorced women who think they are having an original thought. what a dumb ass. she is basically saying, do as i say, not as i do. she is one messed up cookie.
Careful how you type the c-word, bronze.
