Colorado Coward

If one more person calls that low life coward, that shot some 70 people at the Bat Man movie .... intelligent .... I'm going to puke.  He is not intelligent ... he is a psycho coward.

Take for example Audie Murphy during WW2.  Murphy was credited with destroying six tanks in addition to killing over 240 German soldiers and wounding and capturing many others, as reported in Wikipedia.  Oh, and that was accomplished while the same Germans and their tanks were actively trying to kill him.  The German soldiers were not sitting, unarmed in a movie theater.  Audie Murphy was smart .... the Colorado killer is not smart, but rather a sick coward.

Harley Biker and the MSM

Received this little funny from Roger Dodger ... a little too true I'm afraid.

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.

Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.

The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.'

The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.'

The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'

The biker replies, I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

...and THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days...

Semper Fi!

Bashir's MSNBC Meltdown

Martin Bashir of MSNBC has a literal meltdown over Sarah Palin's current bus tour. He literally loses it.

MARTIN BASHIR: "It's time now to Clear the Air and to ask a question: what is the purpose behind Sarah Palin's current bus tour? It's difficult to ask that question directly because Sarah Palin specializes in checkbook journalism. That is, she only gives interviews to a network that pays her in excess of $1 million a year. So we're forced to make judgements from the outside and it all looks like the precursor to a presidential campaign. The vehicle itself reminds us of all those campaign buses that crisscross the nation at election time. The media are ever-present, catching her every handshake and every book signing. And the journey itself – visiting locations of national importance along the East Coast and proclaiming once again as the most patriotic American that ever lived.

And yet, even in her paid-for interview, she seems coy and almost confused about what she's doing. "This is not a campaign bus," she said on Fox News. "This is a bus to express to American how much we appreciate our foundation and to invite more people to be interested about all that is good about America." It all sounds like a wonderful commitment to American values and American history, but it's nothing of the kind. In fact, the whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States. Under standards of respect and etiquette, it's made clear that the flag of the United States should never be used for any advertising purpose whatsoever. Yet that's precisely what Sarah Palin is doing. She's using the flag of the United States for her own financial purposes. She drapes herself in the stars and stripes and makes millions of dollars in the process. This has got nothing to do with the presidency and everything to do with filling her pockets. And by raising her profile, she raises her income. It is as simple as that. So she was right when she said that hers is not a campaign bus. It's a cash bus and she'll keep it rolling for as long as she can. Thanks so much for watching."

Real Clear Politics

I should have tagged this as "humorous" as well.

I'm not touting Palin, but she certainly unnerves a whole bunch of progressives ... esp. in the MSM. So much for objective journalism.

Vindication

By tim, The Godless Heathen, via Brutally Honest

When the loudest critic of your policies achieves his greatest success because of them.

Effort to Abolish Capitalism ... from the White House?

xtnyoda reported yesterday on our EPA's head meeting with the socialist movements leadership summit, Power Shift 2011, in Washington this weekend. Their stated goal is to abolish Capitalistic Governments ... the US being one such government. Guess who 12 of their leaders were invited for a personal meeting with at the White House yesterday? None other than President Obama.


President Barack Obama drops by a meeting with PowerShift Leaders in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, April 15, 2011. Seated next to President Obama are Nancy-Ann DeParle, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, and Jon Carson, Director of the Office of Public Engagement. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

Seriously, should our President be meeting with any organization whose stated goal is to abolish Capitalism?

And again ... the MSM is totally mute on this.

EPA head is Keynote Socialist Speaker

News Busters is busting some pretty interesting news that the MSM is ignoring. Our EPA head, Lisa Jackson, is the featured speaker at a national conference of youth directed socialists ... whose stated goal is to destroy "capitalism" and establish a one world socialist and environmentalist government. And this openly based on the socialist philosophies of Marx, Lenin and Trotsky.

On Saturday, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency Lisa Jackson will be giving the keynote speech at the Energy Action Coalition's Power Shift 2011 conference, a meeting of potentially 10,000 green youth activists in Washington, D.C.

According to the schedule, President Obama's former green jobs czar Van Jones will be speaking Friday evening, and members of the International Socialists Organization will be hosting a panel discussion Saturday:

Van Jones is a globally recognized, award-winning pioneer in human rights and the clean-energy economy. Van is a co-founder of three successful non-profit organizations: the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change and Green For All. He is the best-selling author of the definitive book on green jobs: The Green-Collar Economy. He served as the green jobs advisor in the Obama White House in 2009.

For those unfamiliar with EAC, its website claims:

Energy Action Coalition is a coalition of 50 youth-led environmental and social justice groups working together to build the youth clean energy and climate movement.

Working with hundreds of campus and youth groups, dozens of youth networks, and hundreds of thousands of young people, Energy Action Coalition and its partners have united a burgeoning movement behind winning local victories and coordinating on state, regional, and national levels in the United States and Canada. [...]

Energy Action Coalition is committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement to solve the climate crisis and address environmental and economic injustice.

Here are some of the workshops and breakout sessions available to attendees:

From the BP Oil Spill to the Japanese Nuclear Crisis: Why Capitalism is Killing the Planet

The past year alone has highlighted the massive toll taken on our planet by the coal, oil, and nuclear energy industries. Yet President Obama continues to support these three industries, which have produced not only ecological catastrophe but also widespread human suffering. This panel will discuss why this is the case, how it is linked to a system of global capitalism that puts profit before the needs of human beings and the planet, and how we can move beyond the capitalist ecological crisis.

Panelists
Chris Williams, International Socialist Organization
Heather Kangas, International Socialist Organization
Amanda Duzak, International Socialist Organization

Isn't that nice? A member of the White House is speaking at a conference where avowed socialists are going to tell kids why capitalism is destroying the planet.

For those unfamiliar, this is what ISO stands for:

The International Socialist Organization (ISO) is committed to building an organization that participates in the struggles for justice and liberation today--and, ultimately, for a future socialist society. [...]

A world free of exploitation--socialism--is not only possible but worth fighting for. The ISO stands in the tradition of revolutionary socialists Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves--the vast majority of the population--are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves. [...]

We see our task as building an independent socialist organization with members organizing in our workplaces, our schools and our neighborhoods to bring socialist ideas to the struggles we are involved in today, and the vision of a socialist world in the future.

So, not only have socialists been invited to speak to an American youth organization, but also current and former members of the Obama administration will be in attendance as well.....

This meeting designed to put an end to our form of government ... and way of life ... is happening this very weekend.

Just one more small sign about the corruption we have in high places in this day. Are you ready for a One World Government built on the premise that as a human you are the plague of this living planet?

Good XtnBitches

Here is just one more current revelation as to the MSM and the "progressives" opinion of Christian women ... you are of course a bunch of ... "female dogs."

... ABC’s decision is not only an affront to women, it blatantly attacks the world’s largest faith," PTC president Tim Winter said. "The ‘b-word’ is toxic and is used to degrade, abuse, harass, bully and humiliate women. And the ‘Christian’ element only adds insult to injury. Would ABC even consider another faith to denigrate? Would they even consider a program title or a plot line based on ‘Bitches’ who were Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist? I suspect not, and I certainly hope not. So why the double standard?"...

What will happen this coming week in Wisconsin

From The Borg Conspiracy

As the weekend arrives and settles down the simmering controversy, the political powers that be are bringing all their efforts to bear on the people of Wisconsin. The simple fact remains that the people of Wisconsin voted for change and now that the change is happening, the democrats locally and nationally are blocking it.

Talk about obstructionist tactics and violent reactions. The majority of teachers in Wisconsin walked out on their jobs this week, while the democrat led opposition to the governor, literally fled the state and went into hiding to prevent being forced to participate in a fair and democratic vote.

Once again, the democrats and their ilk demonstrate clearly to the people, that the favored tactic of the left is 'by any means necessary.' The president has sent his campaign organization to the state to whip up the local unionists and Jesse Jackson arrived yesterday to add his voice to the cacophony of angst and vitriol that will flow freely come next week. And yes, the former speaker, madam Pelosi has also weighed in to demonstrate her 'solidarity' with the unionists.

I can't wait to see what will happen this week. (Or how the media will report it).

What Was "Journalism"

Journalism has descended into the abyss of "tabloid journalism" .... at best ... in the MSM. Also, the days of the "objective" reporter ... just reporting the "facts" ... has died ... and has been replaced by propagandists for the political politburo in Washington and the "academic" world of progressive elitism.

Media Research Center

Arianna Huffington's crazy left-wing, pro-Democrat website gets bought out by AOL for $315 million. Professional Angry Man Keith Olbermann follows up by joining Al Gore's deservedly unknown Current TV effort. Before that, decrepit Newsweek was absorbed by one of the lesser liberal lights of the blogosphere - Tina Brown's Daily Beast.

To journalists desperate for a direction - any direction - turning left seems an easy way to go. Forget MSNBC's brief propaganda attempt to "lean forward." That is going nowhere.

Old-style, supposedly neutral journalism is collapsing. Out of the rubble, we are seeing more and more journalists declare themselves to be what we've always known they were - liberal, left-wing, progressive or even "socialist," as MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell admitted late last year.....

The reality is that our current MSM has become nothing more than another arm of the "progressive" political party and is hell bent on dragging every "little person" that they so righteously say they defend ... into subservience to the state. We of course all know that what is best for the state is what is best for the little people ... you know ... so the state can take care of all of us ... feed us ... cloth us ... provide shelter for us ... provide health care for us ... teach us ... you know ... we would all be so much better off if we were just not responsible for our own lives and decisions.

Oh ... and where is the MSM on this pretty amazing story?

CDC Abortion Cover-Up

Eric Erickson at Red State has exposed a mandated abortion reporting cover-up by our Centers For Disease Control (CDC).

It was certainly not intentional, but the leftwing interest group Media Matters for America has uncovered an internal memo from the CDC proving the CDC did in fact cover up and suppress abortion data until RedState revealed the coverup.

On Thursday, I reported that the Centers for Disease Control was covering up abortion data. Each year since 1969, the Centers for Disease Control has published its “Abortion Surveillance System” the week after Thanksgiving in its professional journal, The Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report (”MMWR”).

Two weeks ago, RedState contacted the CDC to inquire if and when the data would be released. We were told by their press office — direct quotes — that the CDC “will not have stats available at any time in the near future” and there “are no plans for them to come out any time soon.”

On Friday, the CDC reversed its position and claimed that the data would come out in February. Later that day the CDC said the data would be out February 25th.

Now Media Matters has released a memo that gives away the game. And it may be time for a congressional hearing into what happened.
Let us just be clear about the CDC’s last minute story to us. The hold up, according to the CDC, was its need to get population data. This ignores the fact that the CDC’s 2010 report will use data from 2007, including population data from 2007, readily available to anyone with an internet connection since . . . well . . . 2007, courtesy of the Census Bureau — another organization that, like the CDC, just so happens to be part of something called the federal government.

In other words, two weeks ago the CDC said it “will not have stats available at any time in the near future” and there “are no plans for them to come out any time soon.” Last week, after we documented this, the CDC reversed and said “the population data needed to develop rate/ratio statistics was not available at the time we normally prepare the ASR” and the CDC would release it “tentatively” in February. The CDC also noted the MMWR’s editorial calendar is booked ‘well in advance.’

Today, our “friends” at Media Matters confirm for us the CDC did cover up the abortion data and try to avoid publishing it. Media Matters obtained an internal CDC memo showing “that the report was submitted for review and editing on November 12.”

That would be exactly when one would expect the report to go for editing with a publication date the week after Thanskgiving.

Again, the CDC first told us that it had no plans of releasing the report. Then the CDC told us it was awaiting data. Thanks to Media Matters, we now know the report was actually done and submitted on November 12, 2010, completely contrary to everything the CDC has said both to RedState and publicly in response to our story.

What this means is that someone at the CDC received the report to review and edit, and caused it not to be released on its usual schedule, with no publicly stated reason why and no apparent interest in releasing it until we publicized the issue. The question that now needs to be answered - perhaps ultimately to Congress - is who made that decision, who told them to make that decision, and why. With Media Matters’ help, Congress will now know where to start asking those questions.

I'll try to follow this story and the results in the days ahead.

Columnist’s Call for Palin Moratorium

This is simply hilarious.

The MSM is absolutely terrified of Sarah Palin. I think they have nightmares of her at night... she consumes their thoughts and fears... and some of them are figuring out that they will soon be diagnosed with their own new psychotic disease... Palinphobia.

Yahoo

The media still can't get enough of Sarah Palin, whose name immediately translates to clicks and TV ratings. Meanwhile, the former GOP vice presidential nominee has made criticizing the "lamestream" media a key part of her political brand.

.....

Milbank — who admits he has written about her in 42 columns since 2008, when she hit the national stage —is now pledging to go a month without writing about her. He's also calling "on others in the news media to join me in this pledge of a Palin-free February"....

.... "Let's take it one step further. I call on Douthat (who has mentioned Palin in 21 of his Times columns since 2008, according to a Lexis-Nexis search, and in scores of blog posts) to join my moratorium -- thereby forming a bipartisan coalition of The Post and the Times. I challenge columnists Eugene Robinson (33 Palin mentions), Paul Krugman (14), Kathleen Parker (30) and Maureen Dowd (45) to do the same.

"I also call on Keith Olbermann (345 shows mentioning Palin) and Rachel Maddow (183 shows) of MSNBC, as well as Sean Hannity (411 Palin segments) and Bill O'Reilly (664 segments) of Fox News, to take the pledge. Will Politico -- with 96 Palin items in the past month alone -- join this cause? Will the Huffington Post, which had 19 Palin mentions on a single day last week -- stand with me?"

OK... lets all watch and see if they can go an entire month without speaking of Sarah Palin one single time. The MSM needs to learn the lesson that Job learned when his world came crashing in around him in Job 3:25: "...The thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has happened to me."

I'm afraid that Sarah Palin is going to... happen... to the MSM out of their fear of her.

So now conservatives are being lectured that when they are libeled and accused of any and all manner of responsibility for whatever lies the left wants to slam them with... they should just shut up and take it... as Mark Halperin says... they should just turn the other cheek.

Daily Caller report

Mark Halperin: Conservatives should turn the other cheek when scapegoated for murder

During a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Tuesday, the panel conceded that conservatives and Tea Party activists were unfairly scapegoated in the wake of Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting spree in Tucson, Ariz.... Mark Halperin of Time just thinks conservatives shouldn’t bother defending themselves, so as to avoid further political escalation...
....
“I just want to single out one thing. I think the media and the politicians have behaved pretty well so far. I’m worried about the anger of the right-wing commentariat,” Halperin said. “Fox and George Will and other conservatives are in some cases justifiably upset at liberals, but they’re turning this back into the standard operating procedure of ‘all this is war and fodder for content’ rather than trying to bring the country together.”

“Wait a second,” Scarborough responded. “I think they would say that you have that backwards, that a shooting was turned into fodder to attack conservatives.”

Halperin: “And, I already made that criticism, as well. They’re right, but rather than seizing on it and turning the other cheek, they’re back at their war stations. that’s not going to help us.”

This is obviously journalism at its finest.

This is just classic deflection.

Now the media says that Palin has thrust herself into the middle of the news story about the shooting in Tucson... when it was the media and a host of political progressives that immediately thrust her into the middle of it by accusing her of being responsible for the shooting.

The Note: Obama, Palin And Arizona: A Tale Of Two Speeches

Just hours before President Obama is scheduled to speak at a memorial service honoring the victims of last weekend’s shooting in Arizona, Sarah Palin stepped in with her own message addressing criticism that has been leveled against her in the wake of the tragedy.

In a video message posted on her Facebook page, Palin lashes out at “journalists and pundits,” who she says “should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn.”

.....

Instead of trying to get beyond this controversy, Palin has put herself back in the middle of it.

.....

BOTTOM LINE: Sarah Palin, once again, has found a way to become part of the story. And she may well face further criticism for the timing and scope of her remarks.

The MSM simply has no shame... or conscience.

San Francisco leaders pick Asian-American as mayor (AP)

SAN FRANCISCO – City supervisors on Friday overwhelmingly backed City Administrator Edwin Lee to be the interim mayor, a move that could lead to San Francisco's first Asian-American leader.

......

"It's crystal clear now that Ed Lee will become mayor," Newsom said Friday. "Unless people start flipping, the core six (votes) will be here."

If confirmed, the 58-year-old Lee would become the first Chinese-American to lead the city, which is more than one-third Asian. The board was expected to take up the issue Tuesday.

"The Chinese community in San Francisco has never had this opportunity before," said Supervisor John Avalos. "It's very, very meaningful."

Newsom called Friday's decision an "extraordinary moment.".....

Do you catch the biased and provocative nature of this story?

Asian-American. Now just what is an Asian-American that is different from a... Latin-American, or African-American? I know... you've heard this all before... but... the continued reason for these artificial distinctions between Americans is purely for the sake of bigotry. "Bigotry" you ask? Yes... Bigotry.

Now... for all that read this AP article... this man will forever be judged on his effectiveness as Mayor by the "fact" that he is "Asian."

This is going on with our president right now... and the MSM is playing the theme to the hilt... for you see... our president is going to go down as one of the least effective presidents in American history... and the story will be it was because he was "Black" that he failed miserably... when in fact he has failed because he is a flaming political "progressive."

The MSM liberal progressives will have their story and will have created more and greater walls of separation between Americans. The exact opposite of what progressives preach... and they do it on purpose because the liberal progressives are the most prejudiced and biased people on planet earth.

They use these "class" and "race" distinctions... and the people they lump into these distinctions... like whores.

Iran Placing Medium-Range Missiles in Venezuela; Can Reach the U.S.

Iran is planning to place medium-range missiles on Venezuelan soil, based on western information sources.... establishing a strategic base in the South American continent - in the United States's soft underbelly....

.....Iran, in fact, has its own capabilities for constructing missiles that could carry atomic warheads. According to a study recently released by the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London, Iran is presently aiming to perfect the already existing solid-fuel, medium-range missile that can carry a nuke to hit regional targets, such as Israel. If a missile base can be opened in Venezuela, many US cities will be able to be reached from there even with short-medium range missiles.

The situation that is unfolding in Venezuela has some resemblance to the Cuba crisis of 1962. At that time, Cuba was acting on behalf of the USSR; now Venezuela is acting on behalf of Iran.....

So we have two maniac nations plotting to get nuclear weapon capability... within strike distance of American soil... and all our military leaders and current progressive political operatives in congress and the WH want to talk about is repealing DADT?

The culprit who leaked 250,000 US diplomatic cables to the WikiLeaks website should be executed, said presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee... They had ‘blood on their hands’ and were ‘guilty of treason’, he added.

‘I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty. They’ve put American lives at risks. They have put relationships that will take decades to rebuild at risk, and they knew full well that they were handling sensitive documents,’ Mr Huckabee told reporters at a book signing.

The Republican, who is one of the favourites to challenge Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential elections, also accused the New York Times of showing ‘utter, reckless disregard for any responsible journalism’ by printing the cables....
