400-408 – • Daily Mail (09/04/2012) Democrats set to move Obama's big speech from 74,000-seater outdoor stadium to 20,000-seater indoor arena.  From Bank of America Stadium to Time Warner Cable Arena.

• Fox News (09/04/2012) Dems reveal platform backing gay marriage, abortion rights.  It's official – the Democrat Party has dropped three words from it's platform – the word "God," the word "Jerusalem," and the word "rare."  The Democrat Party is officially the party of free-tax-payer funded abortions with no exclusion prohibiting infanticide (aka "partial birth abortion"), unrestricted same-sex marriage, socialized medicine (Obamacare), and less support for Israel than in 2008.  In addition to the obvious:  bigger government (150,000 unionized federal jobs under Obama earning an average of $70,000 plus benefits) and of course, higher taxes to fund it.

• CNS News (9/04/2012) U.S. Debt Now $136,260 Per Household—Up 50% Under Obama.

The U.S. government debt, which topped $16 trillion for the first time at the close of business on Friday, now equals approximately $136,260 for every household in the country.

Just since President Barack Obama was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2009, the debt has increased by $45,848 per household—or about 50 percent per household.

As of Friday, the debt was 16,015,769,788,215.80. According to the Census Bureau, there were approximately 117,538,000 households in the country in 2010. Thus, the current debt equals about $136,260 per household.

When President Obama was inaugurated in 2010, the debt was 10,626,877,048,913.08 and has since increased by 5,388,892,739,302.72. That equals an increase of about $45,848 per household.

• Weekly Standard (9/04/2012) Democratic Platform Endorses Taxpayer-Funded Abortions.  And the Democratic party doesn't want to make abortions "rare."

The 2012 Democratic party will officially adopt an extreme position on the issue of abortion on Tuesday. According to a copy of the party platform, which was released online just before midnight on Monday, "The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay."

That last part--"regardless of ability to pay"--is an endorsement of taxpayer-funded abortions, a policy that President Obama has personally endorsed. Obama wants Medicaid to pay directly for elective abortions, and Obamacare will allow beneficiaries to use federal subsidies to purchase health care plans that cover elective abortions. According to a 2009 Quinnipiac poll, 72 percent of voters oppose public funding of abortion and 23 percent support it. In other words, public funding of abortion--a policy President Obama actively supports--is as unpopular as banning abortion in the case of rape, a policy on which the media have focused much attention over the past two weeks despite the fact that neither presidential candidate supports it.

The 2012 Democratic party also endorses an unrestricted right to abortion-on-demand. According to the platform, on the issue of abortion "there is no place for politicians or government to get in the way." In 2003, Obama was asked if he was pro-choice on abortion "in all situations including the late-term thing." Obama replied: "I'm pro-choice."

In 1992, then-Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton tried to soften the party's image on abortion by expressing his desire to make abortion "safe, legal, and rare." Although the Democratic party platforms in 2000 and 2004 stated the party's goal is to make abortion "rare," the 2012 platform makes no such claim. "In 2000, the Democratic platform said the party's goal was 'to make abortion less necessary and more rare,'" Jeff Jacoby wrote in the Boston Globe last week. "The 2004 platform declared, 'Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.' But even calling for abortion to be 'rare' is now too much for the Democrats' platform committee, which deleted the word in 2008." The word "rare" did not make a comeback in 2012.

443-452 – (:14, :37) • The Blaze (9/03/2012) TOP CALI. DEM COMPARES GOP TACTICS TO NAZI PROPAGANDA…RIGHT IN FRONT OF NANCY PELOSI.

The Chairman of the California Democratic Party has compared Republican tactics used during the presidential campaign to the "big lie" strategy most famously employed by Nazi propagandists.

John Burton made the remarks Monday in an interview with San Francisco station KCBS while in Charlotte for the Democratic National Convention sitting, it appears, right next to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cali.).

Burton claimed that Republicans lie constantly, perhaps as part of a grander plan.

He explained: "Joseph Goebbels' concept was the big lie– if you tell it enough, people will think it's the truth."

Goebbels was the chief of Nazi propaganda, and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler believed the "big lie" had a greater chance of being believed.//  [He was 13 in 1945!]
