Charles Krauthammer Calls Out NPR On The Hypocrisy of Firing Juan Williams



Clearly, Juan Williams' firing from NPR had nothing to do with race, because ummm, liberals can't possibly be racists, right?
That's the question Charles Krauthammer asked on PBS's "Inside Washington" Friday night. And, as you knew would happen, no one on the panel could answer it. In fact, I've yet to hear any of my colleagues from the left side of the page coherently explain the difference between what Juan Williams did on Fox and what NPR's Nina Totenberg does every week in similar venues. Yet, Williams gets fired via telephone after 10 years of loyal service, and Totenberg keeps her job in honored fashion.


You can dance around this issue all you like. You can get mired in the "changing" ethics of journalism (which, btw, I totally reject). What this really is is an example of the totalitarian left raising it's ugly head and dropping the fig leaf of being tolerant of free speech.


Krauthammer asks the right question. Where did Juan Williams go wrong? What line did he cross that Totenberg has crossed hundreds of times.

Desperate Democrat Peter DeFazio Investigating Impeachment For Chief Justice John Roberts


When courts make decisions that they don't like not only will they attempt to embarrass you, but they'll try to get rid of you too:
With Democrats increasingly outraged over the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that allowed unlimited corporate spending in elections -- a change conservatives have been more successful at taking advantage of -- a Democratic congressman is raising the prospect of impeaching the Supreme Court's chief justice over the issue.

"I mean, the Supreme Court has done a tremendous disservice to the United States of America," Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. "They have done more to undermine our democracy with their Citizens United decision than all of the Republican operatives in the world in this campaign. 

They've opened the floodgates, and personally, I'm investigating articles of impeachment against Justice Roberts for perjuring during his Senate hearings, where he said he wouldn't be a judicial activist, and he wouldn't overturn precedents."

In his 2005 confirmation hearings, Roberts famously said, "Judges and justices are servants of the law, not the other way around. Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules; they apply them. The role of an umpire and a judge is critical. They make sure everybody plays by the rules. But it is a limited role. Nobody ever went to a ball game to see the umpire."

According to DeFazio, Roberts hasn't stood by his own doctrine. He pointed to former Justice John Paul Stevens's dissent in the case, in which he said the Citizens United case was not properly brought before the Supreme Court. "This procedure is unusual and inadvisable for a court," Stevens said of the process. "Our colleagues' suggestion that 'we are asked to reconsider Austin and, in effect, McConnell," ante, at 1, would be more accurate if rephrased to state that 'we have asked ourselves' to reconsider those cases."

"Justice Stevens makes the point that Roberts decided a case that wasn't even before the Court, and invited the issue before the Court," said DeFazio. "It was the most extraordinary condemnation I've ever read of a perverted majority on the Supreme Court, at least in recent years."
Of course DeFazio's really mad about a independent advertising campaign that has been launched against his reelection, but why would the Huffington Post or any other member of the lamestream media want to get in the way of a good whine?

Producer David Zucker Releases Barbara Boxer Bashing-Ad: "Call Me Senator"



TheHill.com:
A well-known Hollywood producer and director has cut an ad against Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) riffing on when the senator chided an Army brigadier general last year for calling her "ma'am."


David Zucker, the director of the 1980 comedy classic "Airplane!" who has worked on myriad films including the "Naked Gun" and "Scary Movie" franchises, directed the "Call Me Senator" spot for Right Change, a 527 and 501(c)4 organization "committed to supporting policies and candidates dedicated to fiscal responsibility and a strong national security for the United States, while upholding the principles of freedom, competitiveness and entrepreneurial spirit of the American people."


The spot goofs on Boxer's testy exchange with Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh at a June 2009 hearing of the Committee on Environment and Public Works. "You know, do me a favor," Boxer told the officer, who was using military protocol to address those higher on the chain of command by "sir" or "ma'am." "Could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"


"Yes, ma'am," Walsh responded. "It's just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I'd appreciate it, yes, thank you," Boxer continued. "Yes, senator," he responded.

WikiLeaks Unveils Secret Iraq Documents



An anti-war zealot like Cindy Sheehan would be proud:
The whistle-blower website WikiLeaks published nearly 400,000 classified military documents from the Iraq war on Friday, calling it the largest classified military leak in history.

The latest round of leaked documents provides a new picture of how many Iraqi civilians have been killed, a new window on the role that Iran has played in supporting Iraqi militants and many accounts of abuse by Iraqi's army and police, according to The New York Times.

The Times was one of a handful of news organizations that was provided early access to the papers.
According to new documents, the vast majority of slain civilians were killed by other Iraqis.

The U.S. military is notifying Iraqis named in the documents, Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell told CNN.

"There are 300 names of Iraqis in here that we think would be particularly endangered by their exposure," he said. "We have passed that information on to U.S. Forces Iraq. They are in the process right now of contacting those Iraqis to try to safeguard them."

The Pentagon had not previously warned Iraqi civilians who have cooperated with the United States that their names may be posted on the Internet.

Jim DeMint Vows To Cut NPR Funding Over Juan Williams' Firing


TheHill.com:

House Republicans announced Friday they would take action that could force a vote on defunding NPR in the wake of the firing of news analyst Juan Williams. 

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that he is adding a measure to defund the publicly subsidized radio network to the conference's "YouCut" program, which allows the public to vote online on spending programs they want cut. Williams was axed by NPR on Wednesday for comments he made about Muslims, drawing the ire of Republican leaders. 

Cantor said in a statement that NPR’s decision to fire Williams was an example of "over-reaching political correctness."

"In light of their rash decision, we will include termination of federal funding for NPR as an option in the YouCut program so that Americans can let it be known whether they want their dollars going to that organization," he said.


Cantor's decision follows a chorus of Republican calls to defund NPR, which they believe leans too far to the left for a news organization that is partially dependent on federal dollars.


Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said Thursday that he is introducing legislation to defund NPR in the upper chamber and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) is renewing a push for his bill that he introduced in June to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR.
Not only do conservatives need to stand up for Juan Williams, but they can't let George Soros win. Just follow the money and you'll know who's responsible for this treachery.

Liberal "Glee" Actress Dianna Agron Apologizes For Risque GQ Photo Shoot


When even Katie Couric is complaining about your highly publicized sexualized photo shoot because her kids watch the show, you know there's a problem:
Speaking only for herself, actress Dianna Agron said she's sorry about some aspects of GQ's recent racy "Glee" spread.

"If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention," Agron wrote on her Tumblr blog, noting that "Glee" is not the first pop phenomenon to push this particular envelope.

"And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry," she said. "But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?"

Agron, whose cheerleader character, Quinn, closed out the first season by giving birth in scenes intercut with a group performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody," admitted that the show's rooting-for-the-underdog sensibility wasn't echoed in the GQ photos and noted that although the concept of the shoot wasn't her favorite idea, she "didn't walk away."

The Parents Television Council, in a statement from president Tim Winter, criticized the cover and spread Wednesday for hypersexualizing actresses who play high-school age students, saying the shoot with a high school backdrop "borders on pedophilia."
It's an increasingly growing phenonemon in Hollyweird: Girls Gone Wild wannabee porn stars with no morals or values posing as "professional actresses".

Radically Leftist President Obama Records PSA To Stop LGBT Bullying


CNN.com:
An anti-bullying video message from President Barack Obama is symbolic, the founder of the "It Gets Better" project said Friday, but the president "has the power to do more."


"The administration does say all the right things, but we don't see the action to back up these words," Dan Savage told CNN's "American Morning."

Obama taped the message in the wake of several recent suicides by young people who were being bullied or taunted for being gay. The White House released the video, which appears on the website itgetsbetterproject.com, late Thursday night.

"We've got to dispel this myth that bullying is just a normal rite of passage, that it's some inevitable part of growing up. It's not," Obama says.
Of course it's another bone to throw at white liberals (esp. in light of the Justice Dept. appealing and getting DADT turned back to its original state this week) who continue to whine about how much Barry supposedly hasn't done enough for homosexual lifestyle "rights", because he can't seriously equate bullying with gay suicides, right? Funny too how CNN quotes Dan Savage, a man whose accused conservatives of trying to get Obama killed, much less displays anti-Christian bigotry on the regular when he guests on MSNBC.

Will NPR Pay For Firing Juan Williams?



Just like ACORN, NPR shouldn't be receiving taxpayer dollars if their employees are bound to the interests of the far-Left agenda. And the idea that it's just a coincidence that Williams got canned the same week George Soros donated millions to sister organization Media Matters (in an admitted attempt to harm FOX News) is ridiculous. By the way with Juan Williams gone, NPR no longer has any black journalists, where's the NAACP and Rev Al on that display of bigotry?

Juan Williams On NPR Firing: ‘I Don’t Even Get The Chance To Have A Conversation?’



Mediaite.com:
Juan Williams made his first statement on Fox News this morning about last night’s surprise firingO’Reilly Factor Monday. Said Williams: by NPR following remarks he made on the
On Wednesday afternoon I got a message on my cell phone from Ellen Weiss [NPR's Senior Vice President for News] asking me to call. When I called back she said ‘what did you say, what did you mean to say’ and I said ‘I said what I meant to say’ which is that it’s an honest experience in an airport when I see people who are in Muslim garb who identify themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I do a double take, I have a moment of anxiety or fear given what happened on 9/11. That’s just the reality.
And she went on to say that crosses the line. And I said, what line is that. And she went on to somehow suggest that I had made a bigoted statement, and I said, that’s not a bigoted statement, in fact, in the course of this conversation with Bill O’Reilly I said we have, as Americans, a obligation to protect the Constitutional rights of everyone in the country and to make sure we don’t have any outbreak of bigotry, but that there’s a reality. You cannot ignore what happened on 9/11 and you cannot ignore the connection to Islamic radicalism, and you can’t ignore the fact what has recently been said in court with regard to ‘this is the first drop of blood in a Muslim war against America.’
And she said, well this has been decided up the channel, and I said, you mean I don’t even get the chance to come in and we do this eyeball to eyeball, person to person, have a conversation? I’ve been there for more than 10 years. We don’t have that chance to have a conversation about this? And she said, there’s nothing you can say that will change my mind. This has been decided above me and we’re terminating your contract.

NPR Fires Juan Williams Over Remarks Made About Muslims On "O’Reilly Factor"



Newsmax.com:
Juan Williams, a well-known political pundit and author, was fired by National Public Radio late Wednesday after he said on Fox News that he was often nervous when boarding a plane with people who are dressed in "Muslim garb," according to The New York Times. NPR said in a statement it had given Williams notice of his termination Wednesday night.

Williams, who is also a Fox News political analyst, appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Monday. The show’s host, Bill O’Reilly, asked him whether the United States was facing a “Muslim dilemma.”


“The cold truth is that in the world today jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet,” O’Reilly said.

 

Williams then said he agreed with O’Reilly.
 

“I mean, look, Bill, I’m not a bigot,” Williams added. “You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
Not being politically correct can also get your ass fired.

Obama Drops 'Creator' From Declaration Of Independence Again


And he wonders why people question his Christianity, much less his unabashed support for the immoral Left::
For the second time in little over a month, President Barack Obama stripped the word "Creator" from the Declaration of Independence when giving a speech.


"As wonderful as this land is here in the United States, as much as we have been blessed by the bounty of this magnificent continent that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, what makes this place special is not something physical. It has to do with this idea that was started by 13 colonies that decided to throw off the yoke of an empire and said, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,’” Obama said in Monday's speech. [Emphasis added.]

The Declaration of Independence actually says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” [Emphasis added.]

When asked why the president did not use the words "endowed by their Creator" in his Monday speech, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters on Tuesday, "I haven't seen the comments, Lester. But I can assure you the president believes in the Declaration of Independence.”

Chris Coons Alleged To Have Fired Staffers For Political Views


WBOC.com:
A third lawsuit alleges that New Castle County Executive Chris Coons retaliated against county employees because of their political views.


Dennis Parkstone filed the latest lawsuit last month. He claims he was fired after 35 years for a minor violation because he voiced support for Coon's rival in 2004, Sherry Freebery. However, county spokeswoman Christy Gleason says Parkstone was fired because he sent inappropriate and explicit e-mails on the county's e-mail servers.


A lawsuit filed by county police Corporal Trinidad Navarro is scheduled to go to trial next month. Navarro alleges he was passed over for a promotion because he supported a police chief appointed by the previous county executive.


And two years ago, Freebery's brother alleged in lawsuit that he was improperly fired because he supported his sister. He was the general manager of Special Services for the county.

Sarah Palin Doesn't Know Who Maureen Dowd Is



Too funny:
During a short interview on Fox News yesterday from one of her Tea Party Express stops Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was asked how she felt about Maureen Dowd calling her Queen Bee of the mean girls in her column over the weekend. Said Palin:
That’s so funny, because I don’t think I’ve met that gal, Maureen Dowd, O’Dowd, whatever the heck her name is. I don’t think I’ve met her and she’s probably never met Jan Brewer, or these other wonderful, gracious, nice, hard-working Mama Grizzlies who are wanting to turn this country around.
Probably not. But if they ever do meet someone should sell tickets. Moreover, it’s a shame that Palin doesn’t read MoDo, if she did she would know that Dowd calling other women ‘mean girls’ after the kind of coverage she piled on Clinton and Obama during the 2008 campaign is, to put it mildly, the pot calling the kettle black.

Clarence Thomas' Idiot Wife Asks Anita Hill For Apology


Here's the deal: like Robert Bork before him, the Left did everything they could to smear and create an atmosphere of hate around Clarence Thomas, a lame attempt to prevent him from joining the Supreme Court. But thank goodness they failed . . . barely and now Justice Thomas has been on SCOTUS for almost 20 years, while the tool that is Anita Hill remains...well, a tool or better yet, a bitter footnote in the halls of liberal shame. In other words, Clarence Thomas won and remains a hero to many conservatives around the country. So why on earth would his wife be dumb enough to call Anita Hill 20 years later expecting an apology?!? Really now, just because one's a tool doesn't mean they're stupid:
Anita Hill, whose accusations of sexual harassment almost derailed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' high court nomination, has no plans to apologize for the charges she made nearly two decades ago.


The response from Hill, now a law professor at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, comes after a message left for her over the weekend by Thomas' wife, Virginia, who requested an apology.

Charles Radin, the Brandeis director of news and communications, said Hill received the voicemail message and turned it over to the campus Department of Public Safety, which then turned it over to the FBI.
Special Agent Jason Pack, an FBI spokesman in Washington, declined to comment late Tuesday.

"I certainly thought the call was inappropriate," Hill said in a statement to CNN issued by Brandeis. "I have no intention of apologizing because I testified truthfully about my experience and I stand by that testimony."

In a statement to CNN, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas said: "I did place a call to Ms. Hill at her office extending an olive branch to her after all these years, in hopes that we could ultimately get passed what happened so long ago. That offer still stands, I would be very happy to meet and talk with her if she would be willing to do the same. Certainly no offense was ever intended."

According to a source at Brandeis who spoke on condition of not being identified, the message left over the weekend said:

"Good morning, Anita Hill, it's Ginni Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology some time and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband. So give it some thought and certainly pray about this and come to understand why you did what you did. OK, have a good day."

Bill O’Reilly: People Were ‘High-Fiving Me Everywhere’ After The View Controversy



Mediaite.com:
Bill O’Reilly doesn’t care what Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar think of him, as long as the folks have got his back. After the ladies of The View continued to talk about the issue of whether saying Muslims– and not Muslim extremists– attacked the United States on 9/11, O’Reilly rebutted them in his “Talking Points Memo,” taking on Goldberg, Behar, Barbara Walters, and even Rosie O’Donnell.


“In case you came back from Easter Island…” O’Reilly quipped before retelling the story of his fight on The View. The topic of muslim extremism against America has suddenly become a much touchier topic, it seems, than it had been in a long time, beginning with the proposed Islamic cultural center in the same neighborhood as Ground Zero. “It has entered the fabric of America,” he noted, and laid out the arguments of the View girls. In particular, there were two arguments he seemed vehemently to oppose: Goldberg’s that saying muslims attacked 9/11 would be to implicate Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and O’Donnell’s comment that O’Reilly does nothing but “incite hatred.”

“If Whoopi Goldberg doesn’t think there’s a Muslim problem, she should ask Barack Obama,” he retorted, while going out of his way to find a vintage Rosie O’Donnell View clip saying radical Christianity is as dangerous as radical Islam to point out he may not be alone in what she accuses him of doing. “I have had enough of the political correct nonsense, and I condemn the far left fanatics who label those who disagree with them ‘bigots,’” he declared, while backing up his argument in part with the fact that people he ran into this weekend agreed with him. “Wherever I went this weekend, people were high-fiving me,” he said. “Are all these people bigots? Do they all hate Kareem Abdul Jabbar?”

Fellow Democrats Slam Jack Conway's Personal Attacks On Rand Paul



When your own party is calling you out for being an a-hole you know you're in trouble:
Democrats in Kentucky and elsewhere seem ready to bail -- perhaps wholesale -- on Democrat Jack Conway for his "mocking Christianity" attack on Dr. Rand Paul.

"I wouldn't have done it," Rep. John Yarmuth, the popular Louisville Democrat who is also a member of the House leadership, told The Huffington Post. "And it looks like it's backfiring."

Yarmuth spoke to me before a planned appearance on "Hardball" with Chris Matthews, in which Matthews harshly grilled Conway about a new TV ad and debate attack. In them, Conway says that Paul "mocked Christianity" by being a member in college of a group that had been banned for its activities by school authorities.

Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri criticized the ad theme, and other Democrats have privately done so, but open criticism from the politically savvy Yarmuth -- on the ballot in Kentucky with Conway -- is a sign that the ad is rapidly coming to be regarded as a one-step-too-far move in a year in which nothing seems to be over the line.

Barney Frank's Boyfriend Heckles GOP Opponent



Mediaite.com:
Apparently heckling is the new attack ad. Here’s the latest heckling vid to be making the rounds. After exiting a debate with Barney Frank at the WGBH studios in Boston on Thursday GOP opponent Sean Bielat was in the midst of giving an interview outside the studio when he was heckled by a passerby. By all accounts the passerby was none other than Frank’s boyfriend James Ready.


Just to be clear, by heckling we mean that Ready (allegedly) walked up to Bielat in mid-interview with a handful of reporters (seemingly much to the amazement of everyone there) and started insulting him. The exchange was caught on tape by Boston Herald reporter Dave Wedge.

Harry Reid Compares Obama To Rescued Chilean Miners


MSNBC.com:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has compared President Barack Obama to a trapped Chilean miner

In a speech to supporters in Las Vegas on Sunday night, Reid said that when Obama replaced George W. Bush in the White House he found himself in a "hole so deep that he couldn't see the outside world.

"It was like the Chilean miners, but he, being the man he is, rolled up his sleeves and said 'I am going to get us out of this hole,'" Reid said at an "Early Vote GOTV" event.
The man's stupidity holds no bounds.

Actor Vince Vaughn Refuses To Cater To Liberal, Politically Correct Bullies On The Left


Zap2it.com:
Universal Pictures may have scrapped the original trailer for "The Dilemma," which featured Vince Vaughn's character calling electric cars "gay," but the actor doesn't seem to agree with their decision.


In a statement released by Deadline, the actor acknowledges the harm in prejudices like homophobia while pointing out silenced jokes that make note of them do more harm than good.


"Let me add my voice of support to the people outraged by the bullying and persecution of people for their differences," says Vaughn, "whatever those differences may be. Comedy and joking about our differences breaks tension and brings us together. Drawing dividing lines over what we can and cannot joke about does exactly that; it divides us. Most importantly, where does it stop."
In case you missed it, the "new progressive agenda" is now coming down on anyone who dares uses the word "gay" (which stsrted out as meaning "happy") as a joke. And anyone who dares use is it is not only 'homophobic' but condones anti-gay bullying. Ridiculous. Good for Vaughn's refusal to bow down to the PC crowd and their partners in the gay mafia.

Mark Shields: White House Made Up Chamber of Commerce Foreign Money Story



Newsbusters.org:
Mark Shields on Friday accused the White House of making up the story about the U.S. Chamber of Commerce funneling foreign money into Republican campaigns.


Appearing on PBS's "Inside Washington," Shields said of the issue the Administration and many of their media minions have been harping on for over a week, "It was absolutely fallacious on their part. And they made it up, the White House did
Here's a leftist pundit calling Barry a liar, it's come to this.

White Liberals Heckle Obama....Again



No matter what you think about him, I can't recall George W. Bush ever getting disrespected to his face by his own base like Barry does time and time and time again. Could there be some RACISM!!! going on with this kind of stuff? Of course not:
President Barack Obama was in Massachusetts today helping out Governor Deval Patrick’s reelection effort. Speaking at a campaign rally earlier today, however, he was met with a bit of a road bump– hecklers who objected to the amount of AIDS research funding his administration has so far provided. To which an angry President Obama retorted: “look at what the Republican leadership has to say about AIDS funding.”


The President appeared uncharacteristically upset as, mid-sentence, a group of folks in the crowd began to loudly object to his speech as he described the work his administration had done for AIDS research. As the crowd turned their heads up to look at the hecklers, President Obama followed as well, and modified his speech for them, menacingly pointing his finger up at them as he warned that a Republican leadership would be extremely destructive to their cause. After raising his voice mid-sentence in response to them, President Obama continued: “One of the great things about being a Democrat is, we like arguing with each other. But to the folks concerned about AIDS funding, I would say ‘take a look at what the Republican leadership has to say about AIDS funding.’”


With the vocal discontent coming from the American right, it’s sometimes easy to forget that, for a large part of Progressive America– Boston being one of the flagship cities of the progressive movement– the Obama administration has turned out to be disappointingly conservative. This, coupled with the stress of the midterms, the falling poll numbers, and the added pressure of the very loud Tea Party movement seems to have gotten ahold of the President for at least a sentence or two today.
Never tell a gay liberal about his responsibility in preventing AIDS either.
