I didn’t think the progressives/leftists could get any worse, but I was just proven wrong. If you recall, Ted Rall has garnered the ire from many on the right AND left with his vicious, heartless “comics” about our military men and women; most famously his drawing defaming war hero Pat Tillman.
Well, apparently there’s a progressive lunatic that is trying to one-up (or one-down, as the case may be) Rall in that category. This comes from some “artist” named Matt Bors, and one of his latest entries is featured on the Campus Progress website. This item apparently thinks the military will like the repeal of DADT because they’ll have more recruits.
The message, you see, is that the military already does recruit “bullies” to enlist. Wow. How very adult of you, Mr. Bors.
Folks, this is BEYOND disgusting. It’s reprehensible, deranged, and absolutely beyond the pale. Just exactly what is it about this “comic” that the website or the “artist” finds amusing? On the other hand, I guess I shouldn’t really expect any more from the oh-so-tolerant progressive left in this country. What a bunch of clowns. By the way, Campus Progress is a Soros-funded outfit, and openly display their “Center for American Progress” affiliation on their homepage. Ugh!
This was a Huckabee exclusive this evening, when Governor Mike Huckabee had Alaska Senate hopeful, Joe Miller, on his show to discuss the continuing saga of the vote counting in Alaska for the too-close-to-call race there. Someone obtained a video of a federal contractor, at a federal installation, discussing the upcoming election for Alaska Senator. While the contractor said he wasn’t TELLING them to vote for Lisa Murkowski, he advised them that a vote for Lisa would help continue to bring in federal money for the state, and in turn, federal money for those projects for which this contractor was involved.
He even reminded them that her name had to be spelled correctly as a write-in candidate, and offered pocket cards with helpful information if they wanted them to take to the polls with them.
Can you imagine the hue and cry if this would have been done to encourage a similar group to vote for the Tea Party backed candidate, Joe Miller??? It would be the lead story on all news outlets tonight, through the weekend and into next week. We’ll see if and when the MSM decides to even report on this, but I won’t be holding my breath.
Last night, Bill O’Reilly was the one-on-one interview for Bill Maher’s HBO show “Real Time.” You have to give it to O’Reilly – he can play on any turf he’s on, and generally seems to get along with even the lefties, although they definitely have differences. Bill O seems to have a sort of air of respect that he both gives and gets, between jabs (listen for the “seals” comment – LOL).
GOOD NEWS! If any of you have been watching or listening to any of the major talk shows lately, certainly you’ve heard of Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser. He’s the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), and in light of the recent Oklahoma law, the organization has issued a press release lauding the passage of the law. Here’s a portion of the press release:
“As Muslims dedicated to modernity, reform and our one law system in the west and in the United States, AIFD applauds the people of Oklahoma for passing State Question 755 and making “the legal precepts of other nations or cultures” off-limits to Oklahoma courts and specifically denying the use of Sharia Law.
The issue is simple. As Americans we believe in the Constitution, the Establishment Clause, and our one law system. SQ755 reaffirms the First amendment to the Constitution and prevents the Establishment or empowerment of a foreign legal system like the specific shariah legal systems implemented in many Muslim majority nations and in western shariah courts seen in places like Britain.
By filing a lawsuit, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has wasted no time in proving once again that they are unable to stand behind public declarations that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights and our one law system supersede and are preferable to a sharia law system. They are using the American cover of religious freedom to try and knock down a simple law that prohibits the domination of one religion over others.
I have great respect and admiration for Dr. Jasser and his organization, and so many Americans have called for more moderate Muslims to speak out against jihad and radical Islamic extremists. So, I find it only fair that when groups like AIFD do this, it’s only right that it should be noted and congratulated. Well done, Dr. Jasser…well done.
Wednesday on Your World with Neil Cavuto, Member of the European Parliament, Daniel Hannan, was on to talk about America’s election Tuesday and how economic indications can and must effect Western industrialized nations everywhere.
Austerity is the way Europeans are going, and Hannan says he is encouraged by the latest American election results. He said, and I agree, that all Western countries must focus on economic recovery, but not by spending money we don’t have.
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.
