Frequent host & guest on Fox News, attorney Peter Johnson, Jr., who was closed friends with FDNY’s Chaplain Father Michael Judge, was on Fox & Friends on Saturday. It was a mix of a eulogy for his friend, Father Judge, and a message of remembrance for all the families and friends of those who lost their lives on 9/11/01 at the hands of brutal Islamic terrorists.
Even Steve Doocy was moved, as was I, by Peter’s beautiful words of hope and prayer for all the families involved. And yes, Peter… we’ll all meet again one day, and be taken into the fold of God’s loving embrace.
Saturday morning, Fox & Friends showed a compilation and a timeline of how they reported the events that unfolded on 9/11/01, with video and commetary from field reporters, cameramen, field producers, and in-studio anchors.
A stark reminder of the tragic events as they unfolded that day, and it seems it was only yesterday.
Friday night, Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs, and Malik Shabazz, leader of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam, were on FBN’s “Money Rocks” with Eric Bolling. Other panelists included lib talk-show host Mark Levine and attorney Joey Jackson. Usually the left & right on this panel are evently split, but even Levine & Jackson can’t stand the rhetoric from Shabazz.
I want to know what this fool from the New Black Panther Party is smoking. Among the idiotic crap he spouts, he claims the following:
Blacks are not offended by the Ground Zero Mosque
There is no proof Muslims were involved in 9/11
Our Founding Fathers were Shriners, who studied the Koran in secret
We need to learn more about Islam and its contributions to the world, and that’s what this Mosque will allow
The U.S. Government was behind 9/11
Usama bin Laden has never been charged with any crimes, so that makes him innocent (by Malik’s reasoning)
If we would only open our minds and try to understand why Muslims hate America, we would see the error of our ways
Oh, he does make one claim that’s legit: President Obama is in favor of building it.
STFU, Shabazz. You and your New Black Panthers & the Nation of Islam need to go find some place where you’re thought to be relevant. Let’s say, oh…. hell. ??? Just a suggestion.
At focus tonight was the upcoming “Weekend for Heroes” event, where wounded warriors from Walter Reed are brought down to Ground Zero to see the progress of the projects, some to see the actual site for the first time, and just to get an up-close look and feel at what the site will look like in the future.
Spotlighted were two brave veterans. The first one is Army Cpl. Kendra Coleman, who was in Afghanistan and lost her left leg to an IED while on patrol. Cpl. Coleman is an MP and Paratrooper, and she is anxious to get back to Afghanistan with the rest of her unit in whatever capacity she can. Also shown was Army Lt. Frederick Simpson, who was shot in the left leg during a firefight with the Taliban at the AfPak border in 2005. He was seeing the Ground Zero site in person for the first time, as well, and they both were motivated to join the military after the 9/11 attacks.
All I can say is, God bless these heroes and may they receive all the help, support and prayers they deserve. They are truly special American patriots.
Monica Crowley, in for Bill O’Reilly last night, had a TERIFFIC Talking Points Memo: We are all Howard Beale. We’re mad as hell and we’re not gonna take it anymore!
Seriously, Monica slowly but surely started showing some emotion herself as she read the TPM, and by the time she finished, I stood up and cheered because SHE. IS. RIGHT.! We ARE mad as hell, and we are NOT gonna take it anymore! Go, Monica, GO! Brilliant TPM.
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.
