MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer ‘frustrated’ that Times Square Terrorist is Muslim

May 4, 2010 Media 2 comments

MSNBC and the rest of the state-controlled media aren’t biased at all.</sarcasm>

Instead of being happy the Times Square attack failed Contessa Brewer is  “frustrated” because the suspected terrorist is, wait for it…Muslim.

CONTESSA BREWER: I mean the thing is that- and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.And so there was part of me was really hoping this would not be the case that here would be somebody who is not the defined.

I guess Contessa was hoping, like NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg predicted, that the suspect would have been a white male tea-partier who opposes Obamacare and wanted to blow up Comedy Central’s parent company Viacom for their surrendering to Islamofascist intimidation.

Absurd. Absolutely absurd.

Bloomberg should be thrown out of office and Contessa Brewer should be fired immediately.

Afghan President Karzai threatens to join Taliban; Pres. Obama cries to state-controlled media about conservative “vitriol;” and Hank Johnson competes with Cynthia McKinney’s kookiness

April 5, 2010 Government, Interviews, Media, Podcast, War, World No comments

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is threatening to join the Taliban. Good riddance! With him out of the way perhaps we could actually turn the war in Afghanistan into what it should have been: a punitive expedition–a war to destroy terrorists and send a message to the world that you don’t mess with America!

President Obama heads to the loving arms of the state-controlled media to whine and complain about the meanness of conservatives. Harry Smith is doing his part to nurture Obama’s ego back to pre-Obamacare level of pomposity.

Hank Johnson (D-GA) is doing his best to compete with the kookiness of his predecessor Cynthia McKinney. Johnson fears that overpopulation on Guam might cause the island to tip over. Seriously.

If Pres. Obama is such an uberintellectual, why is he outsourcing his agenda? The history of political campaigning with Dennis W. Johnson

March 11, 2010 Elections, Government, Interviews, Media, Podcast No comments

If President Obama is the uberintellectual the state-controlled media want us to believe he is, why is he outsourcing the development of his agenda to congressional Democrats? After all, his first two major agenda items–health care and immigration reform–are being crafted by Congress.

The Chinese communist (and really, I can’t emphasize that enough, though I certainly tried) government vows not to turn their U.S. debt holdings into a political football. Should they be trusted? Or are they just following the philosophy of the great Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu who wrote that all warfare, including economic, is based on deception:

All warfare is based on deception.

Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

In other words, are the Chinese trying to deceive us? I say yes.

Obama didn’t deserve a first term much less a second term; NY Times blames Republicans, not Obama for deficit crisis; Foreign demand for U.S. debt has record decline

February 17, 2010 Business and Economy, Elections, Government, Podcast, World No comments

Majority of Americans say President Obama doesn’t deserve a second term, but the reality is that he wasn’t qualified for a first term.

New York Times blames Republicans and their partisanship for looming debt crisis, but assigns no blame to President Obama. Yes, President Bush and Republicans are partly to blame for the debt but so is President Obama: $800 bn. stimulus ring a bell? How about $1.6 bn. budget deficit? I’d say those contributed to the debt crisis.

Foreign demand for U.S. Treasuries declines at record pace. Timothy Geithner was wrong: Foreign countries won’t always flock to U.S. Securities in times of global economic troubles. But less foreign ownership of our debt is not entirely bad; it’s good for U.S. sovereignty.

Chris Matthews calls West Point “enemy camp”

December 2, 2009 Media, Military No comments

It’s Chris Matthews, do I need to say more? This was a Freudian slip. Liberals do believe the military is their enemy. He and his ilk in the media loathe the United States military.

All I have to say is thank god we don’t rely on vermin like Chris Matthews to stand a post and defend us.

Obama Communications Director Praises Jon Stewart and The Daily Show for its “Fact-Checking” and “Investigative Journalism”

November 16, 2009 Government, Media One comment

Really. She did.

Anita Dunn, Chairman Obama’s outgoing communications director, actually hailed Jon Stewart’s Daily Show as one of the following programs devoted to “fact-checking” and “investigative journalism.”

Here’s the full quote. She’s referring to the so-called misinformation put out regarding the Obama/Reid/Pelosi government-mandated health care bill:

“The people who exposed this: Jon Stewart of the Daily Show on Comedy Central,” Dunn said yesterday at the Bloomberg Washington Summit. “That’s where you are getting fact-checking and investigative journalism these days.”

Now let me state this: Unlike many liberals who criticize conservative talk radio personalities without ever listening to them, I actually watch The Daily Show periodically (sometimes regularly), so I can formulate an opinion on the show based on my viewing experiences.

The show is usually very entertaining. I know Stewart loathes conservatives, particularly social ones, but I can still enjoy some of the show’s humor and bits. But the show is just that–entertaining; it’s not an unbiased, fact-checking news program as Dunn would have you believe.

Further, the show doesn’t conduct “investigative journalism;” it spoofs the likes of Geraldo Rivera.

Anitia Dunn is the quintessential whackjob liberal. If you don’t believe that after reading her opinion of The Daily Show, wait until you read her take on MSNBC. Get ready.

Ready?

Here you go:

After the controversy between the White House and Fox News erupted, Karl Rove, former President George W. Bush’s political adviser, said that cable news channel MSNBC had a left-leaning bias. Dunn disputed that contention.

“MSNBC has as a host of their morning program a former Republican congressman who was a member of Newt Gingrich’s revolution,” she said, referring to Joe Scarborough, the former Florida Republican congressman who hosts “Morning Joe.”

So according to Dunn, MSNBC isn’t a liberal organization because it employees at least one conservative host. By this illogic Fox News wouldn’t be conservative-leaning because it employees a multitude of liberals (i.e. Geraldo Rivera, Greta Van Susteren, Chris Wallace, etc.). Besides, does Joe Scarborough cancel out the liberal combination of Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, and Rachel Maddow?

Anita Dunn = Liberal whackjob

Vidal, Keillor: 2 Infantile Liberals

October 3, 2009 Media No comments

Ellis Washington

Ellis Washington


Essays are what he is good at … [h]e is learned, funny and exceptionally clear-sighted. Even his blind spots are illuminating.

–Martin Amis, literary critic, on Gore Vidal

Prologue

Two doyens of liberalism were recently in the news. One was the octogenarian icon of the secular left who first appeared in the late 1940s with “The City and the Pillar” (1948), a sexual tome that infuriated mainstream critics in that this was one of the first major American novels to feature conspicuous homosexuality. My second critique is of Garrison Keillor, the outspoken liberal radio host and popular author whose essays have appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly and Salon.com.

Gore Vidal: a petite Leni Riefenstahl

Gore Vidal, in an article published in the London Times online last week, was lamenting that America had just elected a “dictatorship,” referring to the administration of Barack Obama.

Vidal must have been in a coma for the past 9 months since King Obama’s coronation. When asked how Obama is doing, Vidal snapped back:

“Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism.” … The “War on Terror” was “made up,” Vidal says. “The whole thing was PR, just like ‘weapons of mass destruction.’”

Vidal could not see that 2008 was in reality 1938, when all the liberals, socialists and anti-war peaceniks of that day groveled beneath the feet of Hitler at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 and tried in vain to placate this megalomaniac’s insatiable lust for power and adulation by selling out our religious allies, the Jews, and our military allies, Czechoslovakia and Poland – a shameless cowardice that came to a crescendo when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, as the king of the appeasers, proudly waived in the air the Munich Treaty he and Hitler just signed, saying, “We have peace in our time.”

Peace in our time? Did we then, Neville Chamberlain? Do we now, Gore Vidal?

If Obama’s So Concerned with His ‘AfPak’ Strategy…

September 28, 2009 Media, War One comment

Why has he spoken to General Stanley McChrystal, our commander in charge in Afghanistan, once in the last 70 days?

The military general credited for capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq says he has only spoken to President Obama once since taking command of Afghanistan.

“I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconferece],” General Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.

“You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?” Mr. Martin followed up.

“That is correct,” the general replied.

Of course that wonderful so-called journalist David Martin let it be after McChrystal responded with “That is correct.” Why not probe that a little more? Ask the him if he’s disappointed by that, or if he feels he needs to talk with chairman Obama more frequently?

Those questions would have been asked if President Bush was in office. Martin would have done his best to paint a picture of Bush as being disengaged with the war–out of touch with his commanders. But because it’s Obama it will be swept under the rug.

Speaking of Obama, at the end of Thursday he will have spent  more time lobbying for Chicago to host the 2016 Olympics than he has speaking with Stanley McChrystal about the war in Afghanistan. Think about that.

Does that put things in perspective for you?

UPDATE: This just hit me: Obama has apparently spent more time with David Letterman than he has with Stanley McChrystal.

Is it starting to crystalize in your brain just who you elected as president? You elected a communist concerned only with his celebrity, and Marxist agenda.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz: Republicans “Want to See You Dead”

September 25, 2009 Media 5 comments

MSNBC and liberal talk radio host Ed Schultz told all seven of his viewers that Republicans like it when people get cancer and that they “want to see you dead.”

This is very similar to what got conservative talk show host Michael Savage fired from MSNBC several years back when he told a prank caller (not even a legitimate debater) that “you should get AIDS and die.”

Will MSNBC take the same action against Ed Schultz that it did against Michael Savage? Of course not. Schultz probably won’t even be reprimanded. Why? Because he’s a socialist like Obama. In other words, he’s one of their own.

No wonder no one watches MSNBC.

UPDATE: Apparently I underestimated the size of Schultz’s audience. He actually has 9 viewers, not 7. My sincerest apologies, Ed.
