[...] La prensa generalista, tras la dimisión de Van Jones, sí empezó a dar noticia sobre él. No antes. Y las noticias eran que … los Republicanos habían forzado su dimisión. Ed Morrissey, también en HotAir, tiene algunas reflexiones interesantes al respecto. [...]

Once again, the MSM gives credit, where credit is due. In a victory for Republicans (and talk radio and Glenn Beck) as they say. My question is, by giving this credit, do people go to you to find out the news or to other sources? The thing about this is it’s a victory for the country not to have this guy, with these views, in charge of anything. Why it would be like having someone from the KKK being in charge of our senate (oh yeh, we’ve already had that).

Thank God we have a free press in this country. Otherwise we might be in the dark about who Obama has for his Tsars. Of course they just might not be the biggest who advertise “All the News that’s Fit To PRINT”.

The Kryptonite to this lame avenue of argument is the revelation that Jones was in on the precursor to the Truther movement, as early as 2002. If true, he has no plausible deniability whatsoever.

Be very careful when you look at the woman driving the Prius with the Obama sticker. I warned my teenage sons but they looked anyway. Now they are scarred for life.

Viva la Hot Air, Instapundit, Gateway Pundit, PJ Media and so many others I can’t name them all.

Let’s take a moment to consider what springs from uber-intelligent American bloggers, innovative radio programs, and a previously fringe news network on Fox: a new crop of real journalists who act as watchdogs, who dig for truth, and who stand with dignity when truth prevails.

The MSM long ago went belly-up. No matter. From American ingenuity flows a brand new generation of reporters, journalists, historians, pundits, intelligentsia.

I absolutely adore these United States of America and the people who make her great. May God bless America forever.

Meh…

… I just saw a neighbor of mine wash his car.

When he was done, his “Obama” sticker was gone…

I live in Nashville TN. Around here, you see Obama stickers on 3 types of cars: Beaters driven by students; Honda Civics driven by women; and the usual-suspect Volvos, Mercedes, Toyota Piouses, and any other yuppie-mobles. These are almost all driven by women, or “men” who get their hair styled as opposed to getting haircuts.

Heard Doctor D today on Fox try and claim that this was just one of those petitions that people get waved in front of them and they just sign it.

Doctor D came just short of saying he signed this out front of the local Albertson’s store.

I suspect that’s going to be the up coming spin on this.

Reading the ho hum accusations of Jones using bad words and his association with a group that thought the government was in on it, seems a bit mild to his being a self avowed communist and his association with a radical group, which he had founded, that was attacking Glen Beck for his role exposing what Obama was up to.

What I am waiting to see now is if there is any new awareness of Obama by passing the senate approval hearing by appointing people as Czars,answering only to him with back grounds or lack of quailifications that would not pass a first blush of a hearing.

It would be interesting to run each czar through mock conformation hearings and see what the probable out come would be based on past conformation hears for the same or simuliar positions and current congressional balance. My bet is that not many would survive

mainstream media, especially print media,

Ed, Please stop calling the old media “mainstream”. They have not been mainstream for a very long time, and this bestows upon them a legitmacy that is no longer theirs to claim.

I remember reading a quote from Golda Meir about the UN, “They can’t talk, their throats are choked with oil.”

Substitute MSM for the United Nations, and Obama for oil, and it works today…

And that is very, very sad… and very, very dangerous for the Republic…

We’ve been “onto” the lies by omission, and outright lies by MSM for sometime. Obama has been a back-handed gift, if you think about it. The Obama sycophants (MSM) are being exposed daily and those that don’t normally pay much attention, are now paying attention.

For any that are still getting and believing all the MSM propaganda, it’s one of two things: 1) they’re ignorant and naive, or 2) they know they’re being lied to, but don’t care because they believe what they want to believe and the MSM provides cover.

Proves that the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC

ARE IRRELEVANT!

Not so. They are very relevant as unrepentent unapologetic tools bent on taking down America. They are more dangerous than most Americans know or believe. They have to be stopped, purged of their leftwing lackeys and replaced with unbiased journalist. Good luck in finding them.

his signature on a 2004 letter suggesting that former President George W. Bush might have knowingly allowed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to occur in order to use them as a “pre-text to war.”

Of the 12 questions on the 9/11 Truth Statement, I would say there are three questions that definitely support the MIHOP (Made It Happen On Purpose) conspiracy theories.
