Maureen Santora, who lost her son, a 23-year-old FDNY firefighter, on 9/11 appeared on Neil Cavuto’s show last Friday to talk about Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to have KSM and the other 9/11 co-conspirators’s trials moved to NYC.
Glenn is having a special show tomorrow, and today we saw a preview of the segment. Recently Glenn accompanied Fox Business and Fox News financial market analyst, Charles Payne, to his boyhood home in Harlem to talk about his modest upbringing in the black community, and other issues related to his life.
Glenn said while they were there, someone tapped him on the shoulder and said they wanted to talk to him. Glenn was initially worried, but his fears were soon assuaged. He met Anthony – a former Marine and patriotic American, who has some genuine concerns about the state of our country, the Democrat party, and questions about why things are happening the way they are.
This is just a tease for tomorrow’s show, which I’ll post then, but I thought this segment was quite prescient.
Yep, you guessed it. ACORN, our favorite community organizing group, whose funding was cut off by Congress not too long ago, is suing the Federal Government for just that. Guess what? Audio tapes exist exposing the fact that ACORN has been communicating with the California Attorney General, Jerry Brown, who just HAPPENS to be the exact office that is investigating ACORN for various crimes.
Want to know what the rub is? According to Judge Napolitano, if Brown’s office is investigating ACORN, they should NOT be communicating with ACORN indicating a favorable outcome for them, and indicating the videographers (James O’Keefe & Hannah Giles) would be the ones who would be the focus of the investigation.
I’m eagerly awaiting the outcome of this. ACORN is suing due to the cessation of their federal funding? Yummy… I can’t WAIT for the “discovery phase” of this court proceeding!
Ever heard of the term “unintended consequences?” Uh-huh. Bring it on, ACORN… bring it on.
Yesterday on The View, Woody Harrelson was on to discuss his latest movie called “The Messenger.” It’s about a soldier whose duty it is to make the death notifications to the families of the fallen. Now, Woody’s anti-war stance doesn’t go un-noticed on The View, but when Joy asked Woody about Afghanistan, Woody does something I’ve never seen anyone else do – leave her speechless.
Watch, laugh, then stare uncomfortably at this weirdo, Woody, after he makes his “pipeline” comment. Stupid freak.
Lord have mercy, I cannot figure these women out. I would normally write some commentary about the video, but this one you’ll just have to figure out on your own. Needless to say, it’s really one big clusterfark of thoughts. See if any of them make any sense to you. God knows I gave up trying to verbally summarize it after about the 4th viewing.
Can anyone please tell me who believes in what from this segment? I felt like I was watching a train wreck. But then again, how is that different from any other View segment? *sigh*
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
