The Manufactured Liberal scandal against a Conservative of the day

Man, I’ll tell you, it goes for one silly headline to another. I awake this morning to the headline of Michelle Obama being referred to as a “Baby Momma”.

……and of course, Michelle Malkin is supposedly involved. Now let me say this, yes, the graphic was offensive, anyone who uses that sort of a term about a married woman, much less, a married black woman, is just being downright offensive.

Malkin for her part says:

I did not write the caption and I was not aware of it when it ran (the Baltimore studio doesn’t have a monitor). I don’t know if the caption writer was making a lame attempt to be hip, clueless about the original etymology of the phrase, or both.

She goes on to try to attempt to justify the caption, of which I do not agree, however, let me just say this, if you’re going to be angry with anyone, make it Fox News, not Michelle Malkin, she could not even see the damn graphic. Of course, Malkin has gotten hate mail for it. I just wonder how long it will be before some idiot liberal posts her home address and telephone numbers for the world to see, like they did last time.

I predict that Fox News will issue some lame apology and this will become yesterdays news. But still, Baby Momma? Talk about low!

Ol’ Bill Orally, he just cannot resist the racist or social class homophobia.

From the June 10 edition of Fox News’ The O’Reilly Factor:

O’REILLY: "Unresolved Problem" segment tonight, more evidence of values problem among American young people. At the Pascack Valley High School in northern New Jersey, seven ninth-graders, 14- and 15-year-olds, have been suspended for distributing topless photos of their classmates. As many as 20 young girls appeared that way. No charges have been filed, but the community is shocked.

And with us now is Inger Kruegle, the mother of two girls attending the school — they were not involved — and Leslie Brody, a reporter for the Bergen Record who broke the story yesterday. Leslie, we’ll begin with you.

See, what I don’t understand is how girls this young could be persuaded to put themselves at risk by posing in this way for a cell phone camera. What was the persuadability factor there?

BRODY: Well, there are different ways that children got onto these photos. In one case, a boy asked several girls to be part of his photo gallery, kind of a collage he was putting together. Another instance a girl sent it to her boyfriend thinking it was just for him, perhaps, and then they broke up and then he sent it around to his friends.

But this is a common occurrence these days. Boys send photos of themselves to girls as well. Sometimes the photos are meant to stop at the recipient. Sometimes they are intended for distribution.

O’REILLY: Do you think 13- and 14-year-olds or 15-year-olds are smart enough to understand they put themselves at risk when they do this kind of behavior? The girls that you talked to, do they have any idea or are they just stone cold dumb?

BRODY: Well, bear in mind some of these pictures were taken two or three years ago and they surfaced now. But some of these girls were 11, so they could be, perhaps, understood as being a little more innocent or thoughtless. Some kids, perhaps, are looking for attention. Some see Lindsay Lohan doing this kind of thing and want to do it themselves. Some are impulsive.

O’REILLY: But it’s an amazing amount of kids involved with this — 20 — in an affluent school district. This isn’t, you know, the inner city; you would think that these kids would have some kind of a values system. It’s not that it’s so horrendous. You know, it’s not murder or rape. But it’s so stupid.

BRODY: True. But it’s very common as well and the adults —

O’REILLY: Do you think it’s very common across the country?

BRODY: I talked to police today who say it’s quite common. It’s been a big issue at their juvenile officer conferences. It’s been reported in Utah, Connecticut, Texas, New York, previously in New Jersey. I believe —

O’REILLY: So it’s all — and kids as young as 11 are doing it?

BRODY: Yeah, because cell phones are so everywhere —

O’REILLY: Oh, I know that. The technology makes it very easy to do it. Now Inga, what I think this is is lack of a values education. In public school they don’t have — teach values anymore, civics or any of that. You can’t tell the kids what’s right and wrong. You get in trouble. And if kids at home don’t have parents who set boundaries, and many of them don’t, then it’s inevitable that some of them will do this. I still think that they’re incredibly dumb.

Okay, I will admit, I do think that 11 year old girls getting their tits out for a Camera, is very wrong. But do you think Bill let his disdain for the poor class and yes, even the Black race be any more obvious?  But then again, we are talking about Faux Noise.

Of course anymore, every time I think of Bill Orally, I Think of this rather humorous video: (content warning!)

Time's James Poniewozik is nothing more than partisan hack

Unbelievable. I’m up early this morning and looking through the stories and what do I see. Some partisan hack story, disguised as objective journalism……..again.

Yep, that’s right, Another one. It is over Time Magazine.

It just so happens there Mr. Poniewozik, (Sounds like a polish name, great… I’m tearing into a damn pollack… wonderful… Rolling Eyes) Keith Olbermann had a very valid point. I thought that Hillary’s comment was totally distasteful, it smacked of a desperate person trying to hold on for dear life.

Perhaps if you would open a damn history book, you would understand why this comment was totally out of line. You do not look like you are even remotely old enough to even remotely understand why Keith even "blew a gasket." Much less to even understand it’s impact.

What do you strike me as, is some smart aleck punk ass kid, who takes some sort of perverted pleasure in mocking others. That being said, Keith’s commentaries are over the top, at times, but you know what? The man gets paid. He has a iron clad, five million dollar contract with MSNBC, and how much do you make?

Stick to what you know, James. Because Politics and the historical significance of this election and the events surrounding it, you do not have a clue.

Editorial: Objective Journalism or hit piece on Michelle Malkin?

I never thought in a million years that I would be defending the knuckle-headed woman. However, here I am, once again, defending someone, of whom my political beliefs are a bit similar. Michelle, being a staunch Republican and Conservative, and me a former “Left of Center” type and more of a Libertarian and very much a Constitutionalist.

In the interest of full disclosure, there are times, when I read what Michelle Malkin writes and I just roll my eyes and think to myself, “My God in Heaven, why do they let that women near a Computer?” However, there are other times, when I would like to whack her upside the head with an aluminum baseball bat, to knock some sense into her head, for some of the things that she has written. But then again, there has been quite a few times, that I would loved to kiss her soundly on the lips and give a nice squeeze on the butt, for some of the good stuff that she has written as well.

Deadly violence and sexual fantasies aside, when I see stuff like this piece in the Boston Globe, I find myself in a position of saying, “Hey, wait a minute here!”

What strikes me about this article is the glaring bias, could it be any clearer that this was written by some idiotic liberal who has a axe to grind with the Conservatives?

I mean, yes, when I read the article on Malkin’s Blog I just laughed and thought, “Well, maybe it is a slow news day, and she is looking for content.” It happens, I as a Blogger have the problem, some days, there just is not much write about in Politics. This is especially painfully true with the Democrats. I mean, can we just chose the candidate and move on please?

Nevertheless, what bothered me about this piece was this little quote here:

Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.

‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.

‘‘Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.’’

The company at first pooh-poohed the complaints, claiming the black-and-white wrap was not a keffiyeh. But the right-wing drumbeat on the blogosphere continued and by yesterday, Dunkin’ Donuts decided it’d be easier just to yank the ad.

Said the suits in a statement: ‘‘In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.’

Yowls? I mean, can you get any more biased than to reduce a woman of great writing skills and awesome Conservative values to a word like “yowls?” This is, by the way, an underhanded way of basically calling Michelle Malkin a crybaby.

I mean, I can understand the idea that some people find Michelle Malkin’s writing a bit screechy at times, but to basically slam her for her Conservative values in a article and disguise it as objective journalism is just pathetic. As far as I am concerned the editors at the Boston Globe owes Michelle Malkin and people like me, who share her values a big apology, and should terminate the employment of the writer who produced this story.

Obama's lead strategist has lobbyist ties….Media Buries it.

Now this is quite interesting…

Why wasn’t Michael Isikoff’s investigative piece outlining the lobbying connections of Barack Obama’s lead strategist, David Axelrod, promoted in Newsweek’s Sunday e-mail to subscribers?

I’ve cropped the article descriptions from this list for purposes of formatting this post, but I have not removed any of the articles. Although Isikoff’s report appears in the same June 2 issue of Newsweek as the stories at right, it is nowhere to be found here. And it should be, especially considering that the first four articles listed are all generally pro-Obama in their tilt and three are explicitly framed as advice for candidate Obama. The other four articles cover minor issues such as Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and John McCain.

What happened? One slim possibility is that the article is online-only and thus not eligible for inclusion in a round-up of magazine stories. But this seems not to be the case, as the screen capture above indicates, Newsweek says it’s in the print edition. – Via Blog PI

I must say, I’ve suspected that the liberal media was in the tank for Obama, and this just confirms what I’ve thought all along.

It is pretty stinking bad, when Newsweek, which is owned by MSNBC, buries a story, so the Bloggers won’t get grab the story and run with it. This is the SAME network that allowed their resident liberal attack dog, Keith Olbermann to attack the damned President for trying to control the media, but yet, they do the same damn thing themselves. The hypocrisy of the Left is so vast, you could park the Pentagon, The White House AND the Capital Building in Washington DC in it.   

Now maybe I will get lucky Keith Olbermann will name me worst person in the World for saying that about him, one can only hope, God knows I need the traffic for this Blog. Of course, if I honestly gave two flips what that lapdog for Media Matters for America and the DailyKos thought, I wouldn’t be writing this Blog, now would I? Winking

Seriously, I shouldn’t talk about Keith like that, DohI don’t disagree with everything Keith says. Some stuff I do agree with, especially the things about Bush and the Iraq War, and the Kool-Air drinking right. Some of the stuff, like him ripping on Armed Forces staff at the Pentagon, who are ALSO Soldiers. I don’t agree with. But for the most part, I know he means well. I just wish he’d learn to train the damn fire of that flame thrower at the right people, that’s all. Big Grin (Which he does do, 95% of the time. It’s just that 5% that he gets wrong that annoys me. At wits end)

Liz Trotta on Fox News jokes about Obama Being Assassinated

Just as it was totally unacceptable for Hillary Clinton to make a flippant remark about Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in 1968 and to suggest that she was running in case it happened to Obama, Just as it was totally unacceptable for Michael Savage to play the "Dead Kennedy’s" on his radio show, in a lame attempt to mock the health crisis of Ted Kennedy, It was totally unacceptable what this woman did on Fox News.

The Short Clip:

The Quote:

"and now we have what … uh…some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama …uh..um..Obama [after being prompted by the FNC anchor]….well both if we could [laughing]"

What this woman did was not only distasteful, socially unacceptable, and totally disgusting, it was also against the law. Making a statement of this nature is against the law, for anyone under the protection of secret service. Now whether they will enforce it or not, is another matter.

In case anyone thinks that she was taken out of context, here is the full clip:

This not to say, that all Republicans think like this, I am personally a Constitutionalist and Libertarian and I do not feel this way, I cherish my right to free speech, but with that Right comes a responsibility, and this stupid woman, totally shot that responsibility all to hell.

I also notice that none of the Conservative Blogs are even talking about this. Because they are cowardly bastards, all of them, they should hang their heads in shame, because talking about, even jokingly, killing someone that is running for President of the United States of America, is about the most low class, ignorant thing that one could ever want to do.

The very idea that Rupert Murdoch would even remotely tolerate this sort of reprehensible sort of talk on his own network, speaks volumes about him, his thought process and the status of this man’s very dark soul. It also speak volumes as to the reason why I will never, ever, watch Fox News Channel.

There is a great deal of outrage in the blogging world and rightly so, you can see it all, at Memeorandum

Update: Spied over at HotAir, an apology from Liz, I guess the DailyKos people got through to the Secret Service or to Murdoch:

Exit Question: If she did not mean it, then why the hell say it for in the first place? Humor my ass. Dumb bitch. AngryLoserTalk to the handRolling Eyes
