"Nathan Tinstman, Alf Sauve, and 4 other friends like Barack Obama."

I'd  be looking into that if I were being slandered like that .  ;D

To bad Americans aren't this patriotic,

MOSCOW (AP) — The American rock group Bloodhound Gang was kicked out of a Russian music festival and pelted with eggs after videos emerged of its bass player shoving a Russian flag down his pants at a recent concert in Ukraine. Russian prosecutors are even considering whether to open a criminal case in the matter, which comes amid a rise in U.S.-Russian tensions.

Videos posted online of Wednesday's concert in the Ukrainian city of Odessa show bass player Jared Hasselhoff pushing the Russian white, blue and red flag down the front of his pants and pulling it out the back. He then shouted to the audience: "Don't tell Putin," a reference to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

First woman South Carolina military school graduate to challenge senator

By Harriet McLeod

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - The first female graduate of The Citadel military college said on Saturday she will run in the Republican primary against South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who is one of several Republican incumbents facing challenges from the more conservative wing of the party.

Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from the previously all-male military college in 1999, announced her candidacy at a local Republican Party meeting in Goose Creek, South Carolina.

Graham, who is seeking his third term in 2014, already has one primary challenger in businessman Richard Cash, and political analysts said there could be more. Graham has a campaign war chest of more than $6 million.

He has been criticized by conservatives for supporting immigration reform and compromising with Democrats on some other issues, though overall he has a conservative voting record.

"There are powerful forces in Washington that consider individual liberty passé and the Constitution a dead letter. I believe our state desperately needs new leadership," Mace said in announcing her bid.

Mace is the daughter of a former Citadel commandant, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Emory Mace. She is the author of "In the Company of Men: A Woman at The Citadel."

Several Republican senators up for election could face challenges from the political right. The Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has a primary opponent backed by the Tea Party movement, which seeks deep cuts in U.S. government programs.

The sparring within the party led to the loss of at least one U.S. Senate seat in the 2012 election, when a Tea Party-backed challenger defeated incumbent Republican Richard Lugar in Indiana, only to lose to a Democrat in the general election.

Actually it's "libel". (The memory jogger being "Slander is Spoken")  But then who amongst my friends (even enemies) would believe that?   It's rather preposterous to the point of being a parody, which could be a defense in libel/slander and copyright cases.

I will admit to subscribing to several of the left's organizations newsletters for the purpose of staying abreast of their plots, plans and spin.
