LIBERALS: IF THE SHOE DOESN'T FIT, MAKE EVERYONE WEAR IT

 Political Cartoons by Dana Summers
Ann Coulter  ... "Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown is today being used as grounds to demand all sorts of new rules for cops. Most people had a pretty good sense of the case after seeing surveillance camera shots of Brown assaulting the manager of a liquor store he was robbing about 10 minutes before his encounter with Officer Wilson. By the time the grand jury documents were released, there was no serious doubt that the shooting was justified.

"But again, as a result of a hoax racial incident, Democrats are demanding race quotas for arrests. To hell with due process. If we can stop just one thing that never happened from ever happening again, it will have been worth it.

"The only new rule we really need is one to stop these infernal liberal hoaxes."

 No grand jury would indict the poor, falsely accused KBR employee who foolishly had sex with Jones, so she filed a civil suit against that one man. The jury ruled for him, and the court ordered Jones to pay $145,000 in legal costs. Jamie Leigh Jones' place in the Crystal Magnum, Tawana Brawley Hall of Fame was thus secured.

A small "conversation" about race that Eric Holder encouraged

A National Conversation about the American Ghetto   ... "Media sensationalism this year about two black deaths at the hands of white policemen inflamed the argument, while the president of the United States, the attorney general of the United States, the mayor of New York, and race-hustling entrepreneurs from Al Sharpton on down to any brother in the street with a bullhorn jumped on the black-while-walking bandwagon.  

"Here, however, is one standup law-enforcement professional, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr., who begs to disagree." ...Read more:


 The outgrowth of pandering to race activists is this:  NY Police Tell Mayor De Blasio NOT to Attend Their Funerals After He Throws Them Under the Bus 

Will Families of Slain NYPD Officers be Obama's Guests at the SOTU Address?   ... "After all, if the belief on the left is that “anti-government, pro-gun, xenophobic populism” contributed to the Tucson, Aurora, and Newtown tragedies, isn’t it then the president’s responsibility to acknowledge how expressions of sympathy for the Trayvon Martins and Michael Browns of the world might become an inspiration for Ismaayil Brinsley types to attack and kill cops?" ...

Then, just as the president stressed the significance of saving one child’s life through gun control in a prior State of the Union, this year, Obama can announce new measures to protect the lives of the police officers currently threatened by the disgruntled black youths he and his cohort of race-baiters have so blatantly incited.
Liberals' Use of Black People  ... "Whenever there has been a serious push for school choice, educational vouchers, tuition tax credits or even charter schools, the NEA has fought against it. One of the more callous examples of that disregard for black education was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's cutback on funding for charter schools where black youngsters were succeeding in getting a better education. That was de Blasio's way of paying back New York's teachers union for the political support it gave him in his quest for the mayor's office." ...
... "When black Americans finally realize how much liberals have used them, I'm betting they will be the nation's most conservative people. Who else has been harmed as much by liberalism's vision and agenda?"

Revisiting Tawana Brawley and Al Sharpton ... "After Al Sharpton and several lawyers started to take charge of the publicity on the case, that’s when her charges got a great deal more specific and became a national scandal:
Sharpton, Maddox, and Mason generated a national media sensation. The three claimed officials all the way up to the state government were trying to cover up defendants in the case because they were white. Specifically, they named Steven Pagones, an Assistant District Attorney in Dutchess County, as one of the rapists, and called him a racist, among other accusations.
... "Pagones has said he’d forgive the debt if Brawley admits she lied. But she sticks to her story, as does Maddox (Mason, now a minister, has been quiet). Sharpton? Well, we know about Sharpton, who has gone on to greater fame and White House visits, as well as provoking a number of murders."

Public Trust in Media at an All-Time Low

Candy Crowley would be the poster girl if there were not so many other incidents to choose from:



Peter Wehner    "According to the most recent Gallup survey:
Americans’ confidence in the media’s ability to report “the news fully, accurately, and fairly” has returned to its previous all-time low of 40%. Americans’ trust in mass media has generally been edging downward from higher levels in the late 1990s and the early 2000s.
"A few data points worth noting:
  • In the last 15 years, the percentage of Americans expressing a great deal or a fair amount of trust in the media was 55 percent. The drop in trust in the media has been trending downward since then — and is now 15 points below what it was in 1999.
  • Trust among Democrats, who have traditionally expressed much higher levels of confidence in the media than Republicans have, dropped to a 14-year low of 54 percent in 2014.
  • Republicans’ trust in the media is at 27 percent, one percentage point above their all-time low, while independents held steady at 38 percent — up one point from 37 percent in 2013.
  • Democrats — with a majority of 52 percent — are most likely to think the media are just about right, while a mere 18 percent of Republicans feel this way about the news. More than seven in 10 Republicans say the media are too liberal.
  • Americans are most likely to feel the news media are “too liberal” (44 percent) rather than “too conservative,” though this perceived liberal bias is now on the lower side of the trend. One in three (34 percent) say the media are “just about right” in terms of their coverage — down slightly from 37 percent last year.
  • Nearly one in five Americans (19 percent) say the media are too conservative, which is still relatively low, but the highest such percentage since 2006. This is up six points from 2013 — the sharpest increase in the percentage of Americans who feel the news skews too far right since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.

Egypt, Morocco, and United Arab Emirates ban “Exodus” movie

"The Egypt story broke late last week, but a more detailed statement was apparently released a couple of days ago, and the UAE story is new.

"1. AP reports that Egyptian censors (1) “objected to ‘intentional gross historical fallacies that offend Egypt and its pharaonic ancient history in yet another attempt to Judaize Egyptian civilization, which confirms the international Zionist fingerprints all over the film,’” (2) faulted the movie for “inaccurately depict[ing] ancient Egyptians as ‘savages’ who kill and hang Jews, arguing that hanging did not exist in ancient Egypt,” and (3) said the movie “presents a ‘racist’ depiction of Jews as a people who mounted an armed rebellion,” and (4) “objected to the depiction of God as a child.”

"2. Agence France-Press reports that Moroccan censors objected on what seems to be one of the grounds the Egyptian censors used: that the movie “contained a scene that represents God in the form of a ‘child who gives a revelation to the prophet Moses.’”....

Video: DeBlasio Met With Boos And Cat Calls At Police Academy Graduation

The Lid   "Mayor Bill de Blasio was met with some boos and when he addressed NYPD officers graduating from the Police academy during a ceremony at Madison Square Garden Monday morning. The boos and calls were constantly in the background, never interrupting him and at most points you can hear the screams in the background, but couldn't really understand what he was saying.

"Although at one point de Blasio said "you didn't create problems," and someone in the crowd shouted audibly "No, you did!" and the crowd went crazy.

  "As they should have the rookies didn't join in and remained stoic through out. But the problems between the NYPD and the Mayor continue...check out the video below:"

#MallBrawl Part II: Teen mobs terrorize malls across America

Broadside News  "previously reported that malls across America were forced to close down after teen mobs – consisting vastly of male and female teenage and young adult black Americans – appeared almost simultaneously and engaged in inexplicable brawls. In many cases, retailers closed their gates in an effort to protect themselves and shoppers from the chaos.

"All of these occurred over the weekend.

"In many of these cases, the disturbance began with a few agitators in the food court and oftentimes spilled over into the respective mall parking lot. Oftentimes witnesses described hearing shots fired, and in all of those cases, police dismissed those claims.

"So far, these attacks (mostly at malls) have been documented at the following locations (click here for details on some of these incidents):" ...

Arab terrorists have released a "How to kill a Jew" video, and its going viral.

The Jewish Press   "The “resisters of occupation in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem” are spreading on Arab social media a frightening video demonstrating tactics on how to stab a Jew to death quickly and efficiently.

"The 1-minute and 13-second video, as seen below, shows the “teacher” calmly walking up to a “victim,” stabbing him, and walking away.

"One of the tactics appears to imitate the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) method of beheading." ...

Awaiting condemnation from the Western Left.

CNN’s Don Lemon Makes ‘Worst of Journalism’ List for 2014



"I don’t watch CNN anymore, but I’m very familiar with Don Lemon from all the times he’s appeared on conservative news sites seeking to correct something he said.

"According to The Hollywood Reporter, lots of people have noticed Lemon’s work:
CNN’s Don Lemon Named to ‘Worst Journalism of 2014′ List
Don Lemon has picked up a dubious honor: ranking in a Columbia Journalism Review fellow’s list of the “worst journalism” of 2014.
The anchor has made headlines throughout the year for controversial moments during his tenure as a CNN newsroom anchor.
In a post written by David Uberti, the CJR fellow makes a case for why Lemon deserves to be ranked along with other missteps in journalism over the past year.
 As one of the most recognizable anchors on CNN, Don Lemon has helped lead the cable network’s coverage of the biggest stories of the year. Live television is exceedingly difficult to produce, of course, but Lemon’s gaffes this year offer a case study in how to choose words wisely — or not,” Uberti wrote.

"The fine folks at Twitchy think they may have uncovered the reason for Lemon’s new distinction:" ...

Giuliani: Obama Backing Police with Al Sharpton Next to Him Like Promising to Fight the Mafia Alongside Joe Colombo


"President Obama might offer plenty of praise for American police at some times, but his friendly associations with Al Sharpton and comments at other times add up to contempt for police officers, Rudy Giuliani says.

"Asked by CBS whether he’d recant some claims about President Obama’s anti-police rhetoric because the president has praised police often, Giuliani declined, and pointed first to the president’s frequent meetings with Sharpton.

“ 'You make Al Sharpton a close adviser, you’re going to turn police against you,” Giuliani said. “I saw this man help cause riots in New York; I’ve heard his anti-police invective firsthand. To have a man who hasn’t paid $4 million in taxes, to have a man who’s spent his career helping to create riots and phony stories about police, to have that man sitting next to you speaks volumes. Actions speak louder than words.”

“ 'You put Al Sharpton sitting next to you,” Giuliani said, “you just said you’re against the police.”...

Obama on Iran Embassy: ‘Never Say Never’


"President Barack Obama hinted that he might be prepared to establish a new U.S. embassy in Tehran ” if we can get a deal on making sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon,” and the deal led to warmer relations with the Iranian regime. Obama’s remarks were published Monday in an interview with National Public Radio host Steve Inskeep. Essentially, the U.S. would be prepared to tolerate and legitimize the autocratic rule of the Iranian regime, as long as it agreed not to become a nuclear threat." ...

This president is setting our nation up for some foreign policy failures. After it all falls apart, Mr. Obama will tell his adoring crowds how the following president's policies destroyed the good work done by him. 
How ironic it would be if Obama had another Bush to blame for his failures. TD
