You all remember
the duo who posed as a pimp and prostitute and
secretly videotaped their visit to ACORN.
We met the pimp, played by James
O'Keefe. Now it's time to
meet the prostitute, Hannah Giles:
Hannah Giles was in the middle of her guerrilla warfare lecture this weekend at the young conservatives leadership conference when a man in the audience interrupted her.
"We love you!" he cried out. The crowd erupted in applause and whistles.
A lovable "prostitute". How endearing.
At age 20, Giles is a rock star of conservative activism.
My stars and garters, she's attained rock star status! That's quite an accomplishment for someone who dressed as a hooker and teamed up with
a sleazebag.Giles credits the Young America's Foundation -- the group that put on the conference -- with inspiring much of her political action.
She used to be a surfer. Then she went to
the Foundation event and saw the shining light of conservatism. She became a convert. You've come a long way, baby.
Now she's giving lectures....
...because she's a successful surfer-turned-Rushpublic-pretend-Lampost Lorelei-rock star.
"Above all, attack, attack, attack," she said, quoting Republican consultant Roger Stone. "Never defend."
Attagirl. Hanging ten never gave her a rush like this!
So what does this Foundation do exactly?
According to spokesman Jason Mattera, the foundation aims to groom high school and college students to be future leaders by exposing them to the conservative philosophies that he said were missing from many classrooms.
Up until now, classrooms have been consumed with teaching Democratic Marxist communist fascist socialism. Whew, it's a good thing the Foundation is all over this or America would be in real trouble!
"We're teaching them about limited government, strong national defense, traditional values and free enterprise," he said. "Young people need to awaken."
Call me crazy, but this sounds like indoctrination. Someone should tell them before it's too late.
The mission-style complex not far from the waterfront is, according to the foundation, "a schoolhouse for Reaganism."
Santa Barbara, tear down this wall!
So who is Hannah the Prostitute hanging out with at Reagan Central?
In addition to Giles, the speakers included former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a likely contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012; and Lynn Vincent, who co-wrote Sarah Palin's new book. Also in attendance was Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), best known as the man who shouted "You lie!" at President Obama during his address to a joint session of Congress in September.
Someone is missing from that list. I can feel it...
"There is a new spirit alive," said Andrew Breitbart, whose website first broadcast the ACORN videos. He also helped teach the guerrilla warfare lecture.
Breitbart says the next targets are the Apollo Alliance, a coalition that aims for energy independence; and the Service Employees International Union.
Conservatives, he said, were co-opting the tactics used by civil rights leaders and antiwar activists of the 1960s in order to criticize the left. "We have to employ unorthodox tactics," Breitbart said. "We can beat them using their own tricks."
As if to prove Breitbart's point, Giles asked everyone in the room to copy down the words of Saul Alinsky, who is considered the father of community organizing -- and is a great hero of the left.
The Far Right is the new Left. Who'da thunk it?
