STUPID JUDGE OPENS DOOR FOR MUSLIMS TO ATTACK US

This story from Yahoo news:

Jonathon Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, wrote on a disturbing case in which a state judge in Pennsylvania threw out an assault case involving a Muslim attacking an atheist for insulting the Prophet Muhammad.

Judge Mark Martin, an Iraq war veteran, threw the case out after ruling that there was insufficient evidence. But then he berated the plaintiff in what appears to be an invocation of Sharia law. 

The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, was accused of attacking Perce. He was arrested by police. 

Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence, refusing to allow a grainy video of the incident to be entered in. But then he suggested to Perce that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a "doofus." In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the alleged assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment. 

Words almost fail!!!!!

The Washington Post recently reported on an appeals court decision to maintain an injunction to stop the implementation of an amendment to the Oklahoma state constitution that bans the use of Sharia law in state courts. The excuse the court gave was that there was no documented case of Sharia law being invoked in an American court. Judge Martin would seem to have provided that example, which should provide fodder for the argument as the case goes through the federal courts.

The text of the First Amendment could not be clearer. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof-" It does not say "unless somebody, especially a Muslim, is angered." Indeed Judge Martin specifically decided to respect the establishment of a religion, in this case Islam.

That Judge Martin should be removed from the bench and severely sanctioned goes almost without saying. He clearly had no business hearing the case in the first place, since he seems to carry an emotional bias. He also needs to retake a constitutional law course. Otherwise, a real can of worms has been opened up, permitting violence against people exercising free speech. 

It should be noted that another atheist, dressed as a Zombie Pope, was marching beside the Zombie Muhammad. No outraged Catholics attacked him.

College Students View of the American Dream: God Help Us!

This is a good, albeit sad, example of where we are in this country.  Now I can understand why the Wall Street Occupiers behaved the way they did...with no particular focus in mind.

This cannot continue!  And if it does we will have torn ourselves apart from within, thus making it easy for China to walk right in and take us over.



As one of the comments put it quite clearly:  "This nation needs huge dose of Simon Cowell honesty to counteract the 'Oprahnization' of "you are the best" (even though you really suck) damage that has been done!! Folks take a page from Glenn Becks show grab their ribbons, certificates, plaques and trophies for participating and destroy them! You will be doing them a favor in the long-run, since when did we become people who are okay with mediocracy?"

"BABY KILLER" OBAMA SUPPORTING INFANTICIDE

I originally posted this on March 25, 2010 so we could see what to expect from Obamacare.  But since the Democrats are making such a big issue over Santorum's position on contraception and abortion, I felt it was time to remind the voters what Obama's position is on abortions and Infanticide.  WARNING: YOU  WILL BE SHOCKED BY THIS VIDEO.

* * * * * * 

In 2002, President Bush signed into  law a bill titled the "Born Alive Infants Protection Act" (BAIPA) that  was supported by Senators Kerry, Kennedy and Clinton and received a  unanimous bi-partisan vote.

The reason for the enactment of the  BAIPA Bill, it was found that 'Babies' who survived abortions (about 100  per year Nationally) were being treated as medical waste and placed on a  tray left to die due to 'Pain Shock', thirst or starvation.

As  Chairman of the Illinois State Senate committee Barack Obama  successfully opposed a similar 'BAIPA Bill' in the Illinois Senate by  NOT even allowing the 'Bill' to come to a vote.

What Barack Obama  accomplished by his 'Tireless Work', was that these babies who were  alive and separated from their "mothers" and in excruciating pain from a  'Botched Abortion' that left them horribly burned from the chemicals  used, would die alone without any pain medication or Medical help  sobbing and begging for help.


Barack Obama personified 'Evil' and  lack of empathy for these babies, while he used every 'Political Trick'  possible to deny these babies any medical help.

This Barack  Obama 'Philosophy' of NOT spending any money on those who will 'Die  Anyway', has been consistent throughout Barack Obama's political career.

AND NOW HE IS CONTROL OF OUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.  GOD HELP US!

But the rally sad part is that WE WILL BE PAYING FOR THESE ABORTIONS under the new health care bill!



"When  all of the pro-abortion provisions are considered in total, the Senate bill is the  most pro-abortion single piece of legislation that has ever come to  the House floor for a vote, since Roe v. Wade.  Any House member who votes for the Senate health bill is casting a career-defining pro-abortion vote.  A House member who votes  for the Senate bill would forfeit a plausible claim to pro-life  credentials.  No House member who votes for the Senate bill will be  regarded, in the  future, as having a record against federal funding of  abortion."

THE LIAR-IN-CHIEF IN ACTION AGAIN

Our Lying President

    
Commentary By Neal Boortz

Yeah, I know. That’s strong language. But it’s true. We have a president who boldly and deliberately lies to the American people. Funny, isn’t it? If you lie to the government you can be charged with a crime. If your government lies to you there are no consequences --- no consequences unless the voters do something about it.

What set me off was Obama’s visit to Miami yesterday. Since he was in a largely Hispanic area, it was time for a little Hispandering.  This may be a small thing for you … but when a president lies --- and when he lies knowingly and intentionally --- it should be a big thing, no matter how insignificant the lie.

Here’s what has my boxers in a bunch. Yesterday on the Spanish-language TV network Univision Obama zeroed in on the subject of immigration. He was telling the Hispanic Univision audience that the Republicans were anti-immigrant and anti-immigration.

Now it take about 10 seconds of conversation to show that this is simply not true, and Obama knows it’s not true. There are very few people in this country who are anti-immigration. Most of us are descendants of immigrants. The difference here is that most of us are descended from LEGAL immigrants. Our ancestors went through the legal process to immigrate to America. What Republicans and no small number of Democrats are opposed to ILLLEGAL immigration. We believe in the rule of law, and that everyone, including people who wish to move to our country, abide by those laws.

Our spectacularly dishonest, lying president will not make this distinction; he will not reference to ILLEGAL immigration, because his goal here is simply not to be truthful. His goal is to align Hispanic voters against Republicans by intentionally lying about GOP policies.

But ---- when you are a ruler rather than a leader; when you wish to transform America rather than restore it; lying is an acceptable process. And so it has ever been with Marxist revolutionaries.

SAD COMMENTARY ON APPLE PRODUCTS

Maybe Steve Jobs was a little too greedy in trying to maximize profits.

At Foxconn, one major manufacturer of Apple's iPhone, iMac, iPad and iPod touch, an alarming wave of suicides had finally caught the media's attention. Unfortunately, the claims date back to 2010, when 13 workers at a factory run by Apple supplier Foxconn committed suicide.

All jumped to their deaths from factory rooftops after claiming that the company ran military-style production lines on which employees were forced to work overtime for low wages. Living in dorms with up to twenty four workers in each room with barred windows and then working long hours each day makes life for these young people unbearable. These conditions have virtually created labor camps run by foreign plantation owners. They are indeed, the slaves of Apple.




Though Apple has been on notice for 5 years as the target of a campaign by USAS' Hong Kong partner Students and Scholars Against Corporate Misbehavior (SACOM), genuine changes have not taken place. Despite persistent efforts by SACOM to get Apple to stop the abuses at Foxconn, Apple's former CEOs Jobs and their current CEO, Tim Cook, had falsely denied the problem until recently.

Since January, 13 young workers at Apple's supplier factory in Shenzhen, China have committed suicide, and just a few days ago, a young worker died from exhaustion. Why? Working 36 hours nonstop without overtime pay, earning poverty wages, facing humiliation by company managers and being denied independent union representation.

While the economic crisis has pushed hundreds of electronics suppliers out of business, Apple has yielded record profits on the backs of its young Chinese workers. Under the direct pressure of Apple and other buyers, its supplier Foxconn has not been paying production line workers enough to even meet basic needs, compelling workers to labor up to 100 hours of overtime a month, close to three times the maximum 36 hours permitted by Chinese labor law.

Furthermore, Foxconn, responding to heavy public scrutiny, recently manipulated consumers to believe that it raised the wages of its workers out of its own benevolence, although it was actually in light of an anticipated raise in the government's minimum wage.

This week, Apple released its newest edition of the iPhone, selling for $200 a piece, but this price doesn't include the short lives of those lost who were being paid pennies per phone. At least Apple CEO Tim Cook now believes suicides are bad for Apple's business and these deaths certainly affect the working morale at Foxconn.

What is their solution? They draped fishing nets around the dormitories to catch suicide jumpers - and they brag about a paltry raise of minimum wage. The abuse and suffering at the labor camps in China will continue until Americans and other consumers around the world boycott Apple products.

OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM DIDN'T JUST FAIL BLACK KIDS

This is what we get with Teacher's Unions and the SEIU in control of our public (government) schools.  We really, really need the voucher system and more charter schools.



Will these morons be voting this year?

New CBO Report Decimates 'Obamanomics': Real Unemployment Hits 15%

“The rate of unemployment in the United States has exceeded 8 percent since February 2009, making the past three years the longest stretch of high unemployment in this country since the Great Depression. Moreover, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent until 2014. The official unemployment rate excludes those individuals who would like to work but have not searched for a job in the past four weeks as well as those who are working part-time but would prefer full-time work; if those people were counted among the unemployed, the unemployment rate in January 2012 would have been about 15 percent. Compounding the problem of high unemployment, the share of unemployed people looking for work for more than six months—referred to as the long-term unemployed—topped 40 percent in December 2009 for the first time since 1948, when such data began to be collected; it has remained above that level ever since.”

BITS AND TIDBITS ABOUT OUR POLITICIANS FOR THE DUMB MASSES WHO DON'T FOLLOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN WASHINGTON

Remember when Nancy Pelosi told us that we had to pass the bill to find out what’s in it?  Well, here is a prime example of what’s in it.

It looks like John Kerry has landed a $3.5 billion windfall thanks to ObamaCare.  Over the next ten years, $3.5 billion in Medicare reimbursement payments ($367 million a year) will go directly to an organization that has given generously to Kerry’s campaign.  The report says, “The obscure policy change was formally approved by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in July 2011. It was prompted by a small, 15-bed hospital located on the upscale island of Nantucket, a popular vacation spot for wealthy New Englanders where Kerry and his wife own a $9 million waterfront home.”

Bend over, here it comes!  There’s only one way to stop this monstrosity from fully being implemented, and that is by going to the polls in November.
===============================================
Barack Obama really needs to get a hold of his White House staff.  They clearly need to read their memos more closely or just stop being so plain ignorant.

Earlier in the week we had the big “oops” from Obama’s chief of staff Jack Lew, who tried to claim that the reason Congress hasn’t passed a budget is because Democrats can’t get 60 votes in the Senate, pinning the blame on Republicans and their unwillingness to compromise.  The problem is that the Senate doesn’t need 60 votes to pass a budget resolution, only 51 votes.  But Obama’s last budget failed by a Senate vote of 97-0 … so Jack Lew doesn’t need to worry about 51 votes, much less 60.  What a dumb ass!
============================================
Here’s something that appeared in Obama’s budget that he hasn’t mentioned.  On page 1,318 of Obama’s budget, he quietly puts an end to the infamous DC voucher program.

This was a program established in 2004 which awarded vouchers to children in DC to attend private schools.  The results were remarkable.  According to the Heritage Foundation, student academic achievement surpassed their peers in government schools and graduation rates increased significantly: “While graduation rates in D.C. Public Schools hover around 55 percent, students who used a voucher to attend private school had a 91 percent graduation rate.”  Not to mention the fact that this private education ($8,000) cost less than half of what it costs to educate a child at DC government schools ($18,000)!

There was a problem though.  Teacher’s unions didn’t like the voucher program … not one little bit.  They got to work and defeated the DC mayor who initiated it, then went to work on Obama.  It worked.  Now Obama’s budget calls for the end of the program, instead funneling $36 million to DC government schools.  According to ObamaNomics, this will save us $20 million.  For a man who has played the class warfare card, saying that we need more money to invest in education for our children … it seems that he only means investment in government institutions, run by government bureaucrats and staffed by union members.  This has NOTHING to do with the quality of education and everything to do with his re-election and with power.

By the way … Obama’s children go to a private school in Washington, not to one of he government schools to which he has sentenced other DC children.
===================================
Small businesses are responsible for most of the economic growth in our nation.  Considering this fact, this figure doesn’t bode well for our economy or those looking for work: A recent Gallup Poll shows that 85% percent of small business owners say that they are currently not looking for any new workers

Why are they not hiring?  Of those who said they were not hiring, 48% cited their concern about possible rising healthcare costs (Read: ObamaCare).  Another 46% said that they were worried about new government regulations.  Who can blame them?  The economy, of course, is also a huge factor.

And here’s one more interesting stat: 71% of small businesses surveyed said that revenues from sales wouldn’t justify hiring additional workers.  The cost of employing people, thanks to government regulations, is not worth it to an employer, even if they are successful at generating revenue.   That’s sad, but not surprising.

There are countless stories of businesses having to endure the burdensome reach of our government.  Government is impeding growth, rather than fostering a positive growth environment.
====================================
Has Israel waited too long to do anything about Iran and their nuclear weapons program?  It was always going to have to be Iran.  Obama is too busy trying to teach Muslims to feel good about their contributions to science and math.  How about their contributions to nuclear science and the science of bomb making?
======================================
Some pundits are now saying that social issues are going to take the center stage in the race for the White House.  We were warned by conservatives that if this happened it would mean Democrat gains in the House and  ObaMao in the White House to continue with his “fundamental transformation” of our country from a republic to a fascist economic state.

It really is a shame that more people don’t understand what economic fascism is.  That’s when the means of production – businesses – are privately owned but strictly controlled by government.  The Obama “O” logo will someday be looked upon as the swastika of the early 21st century.

Are you going to be ready when the moochers, parasites and leaches start looting and burning on the occasion of the end of their free ride?   Better start building up your weapons arsenal and ammo now.
==============================================
Obama is now saying he didn’t realize how bad the problems were in the first place:

    Obama said Tuesday he wishes he knew the full extent of the economic crisis when he took office, if only so he could have let Americans know just how tough the coming years would be.  Well why didn't he know?  He was a Senator for two years before taking office as president.  Aren't senators keeping up to date on economic conditions in the country...or is he just one, stupid dumbass?  I think the latter based on the following statements (i.e. LIES).

    “I think we understood that it was bad, but we didn’t know how bad it was,” Obama said in an interview with KIRO in Seattle. “I think I could have prepared the American people for how bad this was going to be, had we had a sense of that.”

Rewind to October of 2008 — how much more could Obama have prepared the American people?

   "I think everybody knows now that we are in the worst financial crisis since the great depression."

Joe Biden said the same thing in 2009.

"Either we were and/or are still in a crisis worse than the Great Depression, or Obama’s only hope in November is that voters have incredibly short memories."

So the bullshit from these A-Holes keeps coming and millions of the dumb masses keep on swallowing it.

The ObamaDog

Neal Boortz had some fun last Friday on his radio show.

The Westminster Dog Show is underway in New York, and about seven new breeds will be introduced.  He imagined that one of the new breeds would be the ObamaDog and used Twitter to get some suggestions from listeners on the traits of the ObamaDog.  Here's what he and his listeners came up with:

• To paper train the ObamaDog simply put down a copy of the U.S. Constitution.  The ObamaDog will pee and poop all over it.
•  
• The ObamaDog likes to hump Chris Matthew’s leg.  Hence the tingle.
•  
• The ObamaDog won’t hunt.  He waits to get his fair share from an actual hunting dog.
•  
• The ObamaDog won’t bark without a teleprompter
•  
• The female ObamaDog has a very stout rear end and eats veggies.  The male ObamaDog is painfully thin with big ears and always looks down its snout at other dogs.
•  
• The ObamaDog has big ears and barks out of its ass.
•  
• The ObamaDog won the Westminster “Best in Show” by simply being entered with no previous dog show experience.
•  
• The ObamaDog is the perennial winner in the Dog and Crony Show.

Then followers posted the following comments:

The ObamaDog is supposed to be a champion and a purebred, but you can’t look at it’s titles or pedigree – ‘cause that would be Racist somehow.
....
And when it lifts it’s leg to mark your favorite plant – it’ll be the Bush’s fault.
....
I like dogs too much to name one after him.

IF THE ECONOMY IS GETTING BETTER...

Last week USA TODAY reported that for  2011, the economy grew at an inflation-adjusted 1.7% compared to a 3% gain in 2010.  It suggests that the economy might not accelerate in coming months as much as expected.

What?  But our Liar-in-Chief reported only last week that our economy is getting better!  WTF!        Consider these facts:

If the economy is getting better, then why did new home sales in the United States hit a brand new all-time record low during 2011?

If the economy is getting better, then why are there 6 million less jobs in America today than there were before the recession started?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the average duration of unemployment in this country close to an all-time record high?

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of homeless female veterans more than doubled?

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of Americans on food stamps increased by 3 million since this time last year and by more than 14 million since Barack Obama entered the White House?   For every three Americans working, one person is on food stamps.  That's as low as it's ever been.  And counting the entire population, one out of every seven people is on food stamps,

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of children living in poverty in America risen for four years in a row?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the percentage of Americans living in "extreme poverty" at an all-time high?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the Federal Housing Administration on the verge of a financial collapse?

If the economy is getting better, then why do only 23 percent of American companies plan to hire more employees in 2012?

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of self-employed Americans fallen by more than 2 million since 2006?

If the economy is getting better, then why did an all-time record low percentage of U.S. teens have a job last summer?

If the economy is getting better, then why does median household income keep declining?  Overall, median household income in the United States has declined by a total of 6.8% since December 2007 once you account for inflation.

If the economy is getting better, then why has the number of Americans living below the poverty line increased by 10 million since 2006?

If the economy is getting better, then why is the average age of a vehicle in America now sitting at an all-time high?

If the economy is getting better, then why are 18 percent of all homes in the state of Florida currently sitting vacant?

If the economy is getting better, then why are 19 percent of all American men between the ages of 25 and 34 living with their parents?

If the economy is getting better, then why does the number of "long-term unemployed workers" stay so high?  When Barack Obama first took office, the number of "long-term unemployed workers" in the United States was approximately 2.6 million.  Today, that number is sitting at 5.6 million.


If America doesn't get rid of this incompetent boob the era of great prosperity that America has enjoyed for so long will come to an end.  Make sure this doesn't happen by voting this idiot OUT!

ABC and NBC: Champion Whores of the Obama Media

Fast and Furious is one of the top 5 news stories of 2011 and 2012 and yet ABC and NBC are burying this scandal, despite continual coverage by their competitors at CBS, CNN and Fox News.  This is simply outrageous...and shows how far in the tank they are to help get this incompetent boob re-elected.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Below is the text of a Media Reality Check, researched and written by Geoffrey Dickens, the Media Research Center’s Deputy Research Director.  To read the Media Reality Check online goto:
http://www.mrc.org/realitycheck/realitycheck/2012/20120207052140.aspx

This is long but worth it if you're at all concerned about how certain media will prostitute themselves in order to protect the Obama Administration and keep you from knowing the real news.

ABC and NBC Anything But Fast and Furious On Gun Scandal

Deaths, guns, whistle-blowers and the highest law officer in the land stonewalling a congressional investigation are the juicy ingredients of a story network news reporters would love to cover – if a Republican were in office. However, when Attorney General Eric Holder testified on Thursday (February 2) before a House oversight committee investigating Operation Fast and Furious, the news was completely ignored by NBC and ABC (there was one full story on Friday’s CBS This Morning). The virtual blackout of Holder’s testimony continues an overall trend of ABC and NBC burying one of the Obama administration’s biggest scandals, despite continual coverage by their competitors at CBS, CNN and Fox News.

MRC analysts reviewed the Big Three network evening and morning news shows and found that while CBS aired 29 stories and 1 brief on Fast and Furious, ABC aired only one brief on the June 15, 2011 edition of Good Morning America. That was still better than what NBC did on their morning and evening news programs, as the gunwalking story has never been mentioned on either NBC Nightly News or the Today show. NBC’s Miguel Almaguer, in a report primarily about a Mexican mother accusing border patrol agents of killing her 17-year old son as he tried to scale a wall, did note that “In December, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a shootout with bandits.” However, Almaguer never tied the Terry killing back to the gunwalking scandal.

It should be noted Chris Hansen, on the April 17, 2011 edition of NBC’s magazine show Dateline, did report that the ATF “as part of an undercover operation, actually allowed hundreds of guns to be smuggled to the Mexican drug cartels.” However, Hansen never linked Holder to the operation or even mentioned Terry’s name.

Hansen’s failure to mention Terry’s name is particularly galling considering his mother, Josephine has repeatedly demanded Holder apologize for her son’s death, most recently after Thursday’s hearing as she called the Attorney General a “coward.” Josephine Terry is not being granted the same cause celeb status that the networks gave George W. Bush harasser Cindy Sheehan.

Only one reporter, Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News, has truly cared to cover the story, even in the face of being briefly benched after the White House complained. Attkisson, who broke the gunwalking story back on the February 23, 2011 Evening News, routinely reported the hot stories ABC and NBC wouldn’t touch. The following is a timeline of those key stories and how they were covered by CBS, ABC and NBC:

# February 23, 2011 CBS Evening News:

SHARYL ATTKISSON: December 14, 2010, the place, a dangerous smuggling route in Arizona, not far from the border. A special tactical border squad was on patrol when gunfire broke out and agent Brian Terry, shown here in a training exercise, was killed....The assault rifles found at the murder, similar to these, were traced back to a U.S. gun shop. Where they came from and how they got there is a scandal so large, some insiders say it surpasses the shoot- out at Ruby Ridge and the deadly siege at Waco.

# March 3, 2011 CBS Evening News:

KATIE COURIC: Making an accusation that could cost him his job, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms claims the agency has a policy that is actually putting guns in the cartel’s hands. Here’s investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson.
...
ATTKISSON: ...[John] Dodson’s job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen...Now he’s risking his job to go public...Agent Dodson and other insiders say the gun-walking strategy was approved all the way to the Justice Department.

Coverage on ABC and NBC that week: 0 stories


# March 27, 2011 CBS Evening News:

ATTKISSON: ATF sources say they were told the controversial operation called Fast and Furious in late 2009 through January this year was to try to gain intelligence to take down a cartel. President Obama was asked about the case in an interview with Univision Network.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well, first of all, I did not authorize it. Eric Holder, the attorney general, did not authorize it....

ATTKISSON: But Darren Gill insists somebody in the Justice Department did know. He was the lead ATF official in Mexico when his supervisor in Washington told him Fast and Furious was approved beyond ATF Director Kenneth Melson.

# June 10, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:

CHRIS WRAGGE: Congress held its first hearings Monday on the gun walker scandal that CBS News first uncovered back in February.

# June 24, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:

JEFF GLOR: This morning, the highly criticized ATF gun-walking operation known as Fast and Furious is being linked to another murder...

ATTKISSON: Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez was kidnapped in October...Rodriguez was the brother of attorney general for the Mexican state of Chihuahua and his body was found a month later. CBS News has confirmed that two AK-47 variant assault rifles were among weapons found at the shootout with suspects, rifles from ATF’s controversial Fast and Furious operation.

# August 31, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:

JAN CRAWFORD: Now to a big development in the government`s highly controversial operation Fast and Furious. Three top officials involved in a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms operation are out of their jobs. CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has been all over this story. She broke it for us at CBS News earlier this year, she is in Washington with the latest. Good morning, Sharyl.

ATTKISSON: Good morning, Jan. It is a major shakeup in the case where federal agents allowed thousands of weapons to fall into the hands of suspected traffickers from Mexican drug cartels...ATF top man Kenneth Melson is out so are U S. Attorney for Arizona, Dennis Burke, he resigned yesterday and Burke`s deputy in Phoenix, Emory Hurley, he`s been transferred out of the criminal division--all three played a role overseeing the controversial case
called Fast and Furious.

# October 3, 2011 CBS Evening News:

BOB SCHIEFFER: When the government’s so called “Fast and Furious” program was created, the idea was to allow illegal guns to be shipped into Mexico so investigators could be traced into where they were going and get a better handle on where Mexico’s criminal cartels were operating. The program has been a disaster. The guns have been linked to killings of Mexican officials and now it appears that Attorney General Eric Holder knew a lot more about it than he recently told congress. Here’s Sharyl Attkisson.

ATTKISSON: New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial fast and furious operation as far back as July, 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to congress. Listen to what Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing on May third this year.

ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL: I’m not sure of the exact date but I probably heard about fast and furious for the first time over the last few weeks.

ATTKISSON: Yet internal justice department documents show at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.

# October 7, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:

WRAGGE: At his news conference on Thursday, President Obama defended Attorney General Eric Holder, whose accused of misleading Congress about when he first learned of the ATF program known as Fast and Furious.

ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories


# November 8, 2011 CBS Evening News:

ATTKISSON: For the first time, Attorney General Holder made the difficult admission to Congress.

HOLDER: Any instance of so-called gun walking is simply unacceptable. Regrettably, this tactic was used as part of “Fast and Furious.”

ATTKISSON: That also means a letter Holder’s office sent Congress last February denying gun walking was wrong.

ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories


# December 8, 2011 CBS’s The Early Show:

JEFF GLOR: Attorney General Eric Holder goes to Capitol Hill this morning to be questioned by House Committee over Operation Fast and Furious.

ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories


# February 3, 2012 CBS’s This Morning:

ERICA HILL: Some tense moments on Capitol Hill between House Republicans and Attorney General Eric Holder. They were arguing over that controversial gunrunning operation that was first exposed by CBS News. Congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes was there for the fireworks and they were certainly flying.

ABC and NBC coverage that week : 0 stories


Attkisson’s dogged coverage of Fast and Furious over the past year should have shamed her competitors into sending in their own reporters to dig into the story. The fact that ABC and NBC still won’t touch it, along with a plethora of other Obama failings, demonstrates how far in the tank the liberal media are in for this President’s re-election.

    END Reprint of February 8 Media Reality Check

MARXIST OBAMA AND THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR WAY OF LIFE!

According to chief White House lapdog Jay Carney, 1.2 million people dropping out of the labor force in January can be seen as an "economic positive."  Yeah!  It certainly was an economic positive for Obama because those people no longer had to be counted as unemployed.  That’s one way to improve the unemployment numbers – just make 1.2 million unemployed people vanish from the statistical database.

Only in the world according to a Marxist like Barack Obama could it be a good thing when our labor participation rate hits a 30-year low.   ObaMao is most certainly quite comfortable with the idea of fewer people working and more people depending on the government to survive.

ObaMao was raised and nurtured by people, including his mother and father, who completely despised capitalism.  In his college years, by his own admission, he gravitated toward student groups and professors who likewise held capitalism in great disregard; and his close associations with anti-capitalists continued right up to his unpacking his bags on the second floor of the White House.   There has never been an economic system that has brought more people from poverty to plenty than capitalism, and our "ruler" (his own words) is dedicated to the destruction of that economic model.

Charles Krauthammer noted that “the Obama administration promised that the unemployment rate today would be approximately 5.8 percent – not 8.3 percent — if the $800 billion stimulus package were passed.” 

Where is the ObamaMedia to report THAT little goodie?  Or how about this one: “Even if 250,000 jobs were created every month from now to the election, the unemployment rate will still hover near 8 percent.”  Remember that no modern president has been re-elected with an unemployment rate above 7.2%.

Will Obama be the exception?  You better hope not.  But what if he is … what if Obama is the first modern president to be re-elected with an unemployment rate near 8%?  What does this say about the state of our Republic?  It’s validation for years of government indoctrination in our failing government school system.  Students are taught that government is always the solution.  Couple this with a growing entitlement society and a celebrity worship culture and you start to get a better idea of how someone like Barack Obama, a charismatic Marxist, could end up in the White House and then perhaps stay there for two terms.

BETTER WAKE UP AMERICA!

IS THERE NO END TO THIS STUPIDITY? WHY OBAMA AND THE DEPT. OF ENERGY MUST GO!

The serial bankruptcies, and near-bankruptcies, of several federally subsidized solar companies — all under Obama’s watch —have not helped anyone but an upper-crust elite of eco-crats and their lobbyists and consultants...while flushing billions of our dollars down Obama's toilet of "Hope and Change."

CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson — who was one of the first reporters on the Solyndra trail — featured 11 other DoE loan recipients that either have or probably will take a Solyndra-style plunge and suck down $6.5 billion of taxpayer loans with them.



Here's an excellent example of Obama's cronies rubbing our faces in his excrement:  Bankrupt Solyndra, billionaire George Kaiser. In the wake of the half-billion-dollar Solyndra stimulus bust, company officials revealed plans to hand out hefty bonuses totaling $500,000. Months before the politically connected solar energy manufacturer went belly up, it was doling out bonus payments of between $40,000 and $60,000 to several executives.  I guess excellent work like that deserves bonuses from us poor taxpayer slobs.

It galls me no end--as it should you too--that these corrupticians are kicking back millions of these taxpayers dollars to Obama to help in his re-election campaign.  WE ARE SUBSIDIZING HIS RE-ELECTION SO THAT HE CAN REALLY SCREW US IN HIS LAST FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE!
