Anti-Christian violence? Say what?

Radical Muslim Yusuf Ibrahim ritualistically murdered and dismembered two Coptic Christians in Buena Vista, New Jersey.

Never heard of this? Big shocker. (Not.)

Our media and their sled drivers in the Democrat Party seldom, if ever, seem to view Muslim atrocities as … you know … atrocities.

Check out this “OMG we don’t know WHY this happened!” report from ABC

RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. A radical Muslim beheads two Coptic Egyptian Christians but we don’t know WHY?

Some whack job shoots at a Democrat and it’s INSTANTLY labeled a Right-Wing Hate Crime.

But a radical Muslim beheads … BEHEADS … two Christians and it’s all oh golleeeeeeee and head scratching.

But that’s the message from the top, isn’t it?

Muslims murder four Americans in Benghazi?

Blame a lame YouTube video nobody watched.

Ditto Black crimes. Scream slavery and Jim Crow and RAAACISM.

“If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.”

Ibrahim didn’t just murder two Christians; he beheaded them, and cut their hands off and then buried the body parts in his back yard.

IN NEW JERSEY!

Our leaders should be publicizing and condemning his actions.

Instead, Obama’s Director of Homeland Security calls conservatives and veterans the greatest threat to American security.

And Democrats from the top down are doing their best to disarm us.

Think I’m exaggerating about the bias?

Consider if the religions of the murderer and his two victims were reversed.

As one wit put it, “You’d be able to see the media storm from the moon.”

Obama and the media

During an appearance on CNN’s Reliable Sources last Sunday, CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante told host Howard Kurtz that the Obama administration is bordering on “state run media.”

“Here’s the nub of it, Howie. This administration has the tools to reach people on their own. They don’t need us as much. And to the extent that they are able to do that they are undercutting the First Amendment, which guarantees a free press through many voices. If they put out their own material, it’s state run media.”

CBS Newsman Accuses W.H. of “Undercutting the First Amendment” [:47]

Now that Obama has won reelection, the White House press corps is not as important to his political strategy as it had been in the past. One wonders if getting shut out completely will FINALLY make these slobbering lapdogs do some actual First Amendment JOURNALISM?

Meanwhile, at Twitter, #ThingsYouWillNeverHearObamaSay is trending. My picks:

  • My fellow Americans, I’m sorry.
  • I take full responsibility for the four Americans who died in Benghazi.
  • Wait, slow down, that doesn’t sound constitutional to me.
  • My birth certificates are all fake.
  • I love America.
  • God bless the Tea Party.
  • Merry Christmas.
  • My skin color is not important.
  • We’re going to make real spending cuts, starting with Michelle’s and my vacations.
  • Yes, we cheated. Romney actually won the election.
  • Turn off the teleprompters.
  • America has a spending problem.
  • I just saw a story on Fox and Friends …
  • Y’all need Jesus.
  • I pledge allegiance to the flag …
  • Let’s have an open press conference where anyone can ask me anything.
  • It’s my fault.
  • I am not going to golf until people are back to work.
  • I get paid too much and do way too little.
  • The sequester doesn’t cut spending. It just slightly reduces the increase.

Real Girls Carry Pink Rifles

Feb 15, 2013: Democrat Representative Joe Salazar says women don’t need guns to protect themselves from rapists, because, well, the guy following you and making you feel like you’re in trouble might not actually be planning to harm you. And, well, duh, “That’s why we have call boxes, that’s why we have safe zones, that’s why we have the whistles.” [1:03]

Remember how the mainstream media harped on Republican Todd Akin’s remarks about “legitimate rape”? Do not hold your breath waiting for any of them to pressure anybody anywhere to talk about Salazar’s remarks. After all, he’s a Democrat. If a Republican uttered that “callbox and whistle” absurdity, the media storm would be visible from space.

Meanwhile, an 11-year old girl used a rifle to scare off home invaders. Don’t hold your breath waiting for the national media to cover this one. They would only care about her if she were a Democrat and her attackers (who they could prove or pretend were Republicans) had raped and/or killed her. But a strong-minded female who defends herself with a rifle (a PINK rifle no less!) … crickets.

I want a pink rifle.

Howdy everyone, hope you enjoyed your President’s Day. I took a moment to consider the typical liberal left hypocrisy as evidenced by media attention. Think about the episode involving former IL Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr, and his wife and campaign funds misappropriation to the tune of $750k. What, you’re not hearing about that in the media? Imagine if this were instead a former black conservative GOP Member of Congress. Or how about the countless droning stories about a Hispanic Senator taking a drink of water, as opposed to a Hispanic Senator involved in ethics violations and potentially underage prostitution. Yep, the duplicitous hypocrisy and double standards are alive and well…just think if Operation Fast and Furious, Benghazi, and drone attacks on Americans had occurred in a Republican administration.

Yette’s Ghost and the NAACP

By Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics. Reprinted with permission.

It’s January, 2013. Dr. Johnny Hunter, a Black man, is quoted on Twitter criticizing the association between the NAACP and Planned Parenthood because of that organization’s racist and eugenics history. Within minutes, after saying that Planned Parenthood has the NAACP on a leash, this Black group’s Twitter account is suspended and taken down. To put it succinctly, Hunter had been “Yetted.”

If you’re not familiar with that concept, let me offer a short history lesson.

In January of 2011, an African-American man named Samuel Frederick Yette died in a Maryland nursing home. He was a man of enormous accomplishments having earned two college degrees, been an officer in the Air Force as well as an award-winning journalist, author, lecturer and university professor. In 1964, he had been appointed Executive Secretary of the Peace Corp after which he became Special Assistant for Civil Rights to the Director of the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity. He later became the first Black reporter hired by Newsweek magazine where he rose to the position of Washington D.C. Bureau Correspondent.

Samuel Frederick Yette

But in 1968, Mr. Yette wrote a book exposing high-level plans within the United States to use birth control and abortion as instruments of Black genocide. Immediately after this book was published, Yette was summoned to his supervisor’s office and fired. He was told that Newsweek was under pressure from the Nixon White House to get him out of Washington. Later, despite the fact that his book was selling well, had won at least two national awards and was being used as a textbook in colleges across the country, Yette’s publisher dropped him and took the book off the market.

Mr. Yette was chopped off at the knees because, by the late 60s, population control – especially Black population control – had become a virtual religion for America’s power structure. And these people do not tolerate dissent well – especially when it comes from uppity Black opinion molders. Yette described the situation perfectly in January of 1972 when he told a reporter for Jet magazine: “I do not mean to be pejorative or vindictive, when I say this, but had I been a nigger instead of Black, a spy instead of a reporter, a tool instead of a man, I could have stayed at Newsweek indefinitely.”

Now if you’re tempted to think that this has changed over the years, let me remind you what happened to 2012 Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. As his campaign picked up steam, he began reminding the public that Planned Parenthood had been founded by ultra-wealthy white racists and eugenicists. He went on to point out that Planned Parenthood was carrying out the agenda these people had laid out by disproportionately placing their abortion and birth control facilities in minority communities. Then, within just a few hours after he started calling for Planned Parenthood to be stripped of its taxpayer funding, anonymous women started dropping out of the trees to claim that he had sexually harassed them.

Eventually, Herman Cain was forced out of the race and, to no one’s surprise, these women disappeared as quickly and mysteriously as they had appeared. Somehow, the allegations and the alligators evaporated simultaneously.

Herman Cain

Today, America’s “Population-Control / Family-Planning Cartel” includes the politically ambitious quislings and shameless hucksters over at the NAACP. The fact is, given their unholy marriage to Planned Parenthood, it seems appropriate for the NAACP to just go ahead and change its name to the National Association for the Abortion of Colored People. When my friend, Johnny Hunter, began to point that out, it was inevitable that he would be Yetted.

And so he was.

NBC bans, FOX encourages Bible quotes

Censorship disguised as journalism

As stranded Carnival Cruise passengers began finally disembarking in Mobile, Alabama, late Thursday evening, MSNBC had NBC News correspondent Mark Potter on the scene to speak with them. One young lady during her over three minute interview tried to cite a Bible verse that helped her get through the ordeal, but Potter pulled his microphone away and quickly ended the discussion:

  • MARK POTTER, NBC REPORTER: It sounded like you guys handled it pretty well. Were there some passengers who seemed to have a really rough time on board?
  • BRITTANY FERGUSON, RETURNING STRANDED CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: Oh, absolutely.
  • POTTER: Tell me about that.
  • FERGUSON: Well there, it was just really frustrating. There’s rumors going around because we’re completely disconnected. We had no idea if like, “Oh my gosh, do people even miss us? Do people even know about this?”
  • KENDALL JENKINS, RETURNING STRANDED CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: They’d be running “extended vacation.” I’d be saying, “Absolutely not.”
  • FERGUSON: Yeah, not an extended vacation.
  • POTTER: And would you do this again? Would you take another cruise, or is this it?
  • JENKINS: No. We’re thinking about teaming up and sell ours. So if anyone is looking for a discounted cruise, we got one.
  • POTTER: You’re not about to go back?
  • JENKINS: No, but one thing I do want to say that really made a huge difference in my time versus some other people’s time is we knew where hope was. We knew the Lord was in complete control of the situation. Our verse for the trip was Joshua 1:9 which is…
  • POTTER: [Takes microphone away] Okay, well thank you both very much. Enjoy your trip home to Houston and enjoy that first warm shower and that warm meal. Thank you very much. Thanks for talking with us.
  • JENKINS: [Before walking away] Joshua 1:9, look that up. [“I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go.”]

At virtually the same time this was happening on MSNBC, Fox News was handling disembarking religious passengers much differently:

  • UNKNOWN REPORTER: So that must have been pretty scary.
  • UNKNOWN RETURNING CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: The first few days, Sunday and Monday we were, really, it was just a bunch of fear in the, you could just feel fear. But we had a good prayer meeting. She quotes verses. She knows 290 verses. Juliana knows 290 verses. And we’re in the middle of quoting, she busted out crying, and I said, “Juliana, let’s just go ahead and keep quoting.” So she read the next verse, and the next verse said, “Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you.” And after that we had a peace. The Lord gave us a peace that was like no other. And I’m thankful that he protected us. […]
  • REPORTER: While we’re on the subject of the Bible verses that you were reciting, which one brought you the most comfort?
  • JULIANA, DAUGHTER OF UNKNOWN RETURNING CARNIVAL CRUISE PASSENGER: I think the one it was, “When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” And that was another one too, so I just likes. Actually I’m very happy that I’m doing this because it has taught me a lot.

CNN sinking further into the muck

CNN ratings plunge cartoon

Brooke Baldwin had MC Lyte, Jack Moore, Lauren Ashburn and Mark Lamont Hill on CNN to talk about the social media support for Chris Dorner.

Only ONE of the five (Ashburn) had a problem with Dorner, saying he crossed the line when he began killing people to get revenge for his alleged grievances.

The rest of the panel thought Dorner was way cool.

  • Hill said that the saga was “exciting,” “like ‘Django Unchained’ in real life,” and Dorner was similar to a “super hero.”
  • Moore said that it was like watching a “Denzel Washington movie” and that the social media support was just Internet “weirdness.”
  • Lyte concluded that Dorner was justified because “children” were (allegedly) being killed by police brutality.
  • Baldwin agreed and said, “I’m glad we had this conversation.”

Tweeting Suzi Parker

Feb 12, 2013 at 8:52 AM: Journalist Suzi Parker mistakes an internet SATIRE piece as serious news and uses it as the basis for her Washington Post story about what a totally washed up, contemptible, bubble-brained idjit that Sarah Palin is. It took WaPo until 5:55 PM to correct the boobie’s boo boo.

Meanwhile, tweeters revealed the true source of the story @ http://dailycurrant.com/2013/02/04/sarah-palin-join-al-jazeera-host/ and demonstrated that it is that woman, Ms. Parker, who is the contemptible, bubble-brained idjit in this scenario.

2013_02 12 Suzi Parker misses the joke

  • Tweet: Suzi Parker tries to stay competent . . . Fails.
  • Tweet: The Suzi Parker Story is a cautionary tale about what can happen when Sarah Palin Derangement Syndrome & ‘journalism’ meet.
  • Tweet: Today we found the Princess of Make-crap-up-istan.
  • Tweet: Suzi Parker can’t see satire from her house.
  • Tweet: Innocent error, I always get Al Gore and Sarah Palin mixed up too.
  • Tweet: For her next trick, Suzi Parker will blame asteroids on global warming.

2013_02 12 WaPo tweets correction 6 pm

  • Tweet: WaPo, Break egg, throw on face.
  • Tweet: WaPo, Better correction: Sorry our journalistic ethics are overshadowed by our hatred for Sarah Palin.
  • Tweet: WaPo, Better correction: We were so gleeful over seeing another story bashing a Conservative that we didn’t bother to fact check. Oops!
  • Tweet: Suzi, How do you keep your job? Oh yeah it’s the wapo.

Yes, the original story was SATIRE, and clearly so. Other recent blogs @ The Daily Currant include:

Congressman Yells ‘Go Back to Kenya’ During State of the Union;

Obama to Declare America A ‘Socialist State’; and

Police Shoot Jazz Band Members In Dorner Manhunt.

At its About page, TDC says:

Our mission is to ridicule … Our stories are purely fictional.

Oops.

Best Tweets from Sarah herself:

@SarahPalinUSA – Hey @washingtonpost, I’m having coffee with Elvis this week. He works at the Mocha Moose in Wasilla.

@SarahPalinUSA – WaPo & like-minded MSM entities, you’re about as credible as, well, Barack Obama. Can’t wait for tonight’s SOTU to point out more examples.

2013_02 13 Palin vs Parker

  • Tweet: Bless your heart, Ms. Parker. We are laughing at you, not with you.
  • Tweet: There are times when we should cease the cruel humiliation of a fellow human being. This is not one of those times.

A little more media bias if you can stand it

Last week, Floyd Corkins admitted he went to the Family Research Council to kill employees. (Thankfully, he was only able to shoot one guard.) Corkins obtained his target from the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website, where the Family Research Council is categorized as a “hate group” because of its opposition to gay marriage.

SPLC Hate Map FRC

The same media that blamed Sarah Palin’s election map for Gabby Giffords’ shooting (despite evidence that Jared Loughner had volunteered for Giffords’ election campaign) found nothing “newsworthy” about Corkin having used the SPLC’s list to choose his target.

Media Malpractice Part Eleventy Million

This week, state lawmakers in Hartford, Conn., held hearings about last month’s school massacre in Newtown. Rather than report on what actually happened and give both sides a fair story, media outlets declared that callous gun nuts had “heckled” a bereaved parent. The story went viral.

But oopsie … actual video of the event shows the man was NOT heckled. The media ::gasp!:: MADE IT UP.

Watch the video starting at the 15:00 minute mark.

Heslin, whose little boy was killed in the massacre, asked a question of the audience.

  • Heslin: Is there anybody in this room that can give me one reason or challenge this question, why anybody in this room needs to have one of these assault-style weapons or military weapons or high-capacity clips?

Nobody said anything for 5 seconds as he looked around the room waiting for a response.

  • Heslin: And not one person can answer that question or give me an answer.
  • Audience members: [unintelligible] The Second Amendment shall not be infringed.
  • Heslin: Alright.
  • Lawmaker: Please no comments while Mr. Heslin is speaking. Or we’ll clear the room. Mr. Heslin please continue.

Despite this clear and indisputable evidence that the so-called “gun nuts” had actually been POLITE, some (like Piers Morgan) could not bring themselves to admit the obvious.

2013_01 30 Piers Morgan refuses to apologize

I thought this was over yesterday. The “it’s a lie” story @ http://theweek.com/article/index/239391/the-bogus-news-story-about-the-sandy-hook-hecklers is dated Jan 29th. The Piers Morgan reply tweet above is time and date stamped in the wee hours of the 30th.

Today, January 31st, at 4:30 in the AFTERNOON, I was visually targeted by this absolutely shameless assault headline at AOL:

2012_01 31 430pm HuffPo STILL reporting FALSE story

On further reflection, I have to wonder if the whole thing was a set-up.

If you watch the video, the smack down – “Please no comments while Mr. Heslin is speaking. Or we’ll clear the room. Mr. Heslin please continue.” – sounds inappropriate and contrived. Listen for yourself …. do you see what I mean?

It really stinks like Heslin and that smack-down lawmaker were in cahoots with the media outlet that cooked up the “heckling” story in the first place, that Heslin asked the question intending to get heckled and that the lawmaker was primed to provide the “shut up or we’ll clear the room” smack down.

Problem was … those wingnut 2d Amendment supporters were too dang polite to make it really work for them … not that the Left-wing Media Arm of the Socialist-Democrats of America ever lets a small thing like The Truth interfere with their narrative!
