Media Reacts To Hillary’s Terrorist Comments

Legal Insurrection

 

. . . "Hillary Clinton stirred up a hornets nest with her comparison of her GOP rivals to terrorists:

“ 'Now, extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups, we expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world—but it’s a little hard to take from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States,” Clinton said.

"On Morning Joe today, the panel discussed Hillary’s comments:

"Host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe Joe Scarborough lambasted Hillary Clinton for comparing her GOP rivals to terrorists, calling the remarks “gutter politics at its worst” designed to distract from her email scandal.

“It was disgusting. It was absolutely disgusting,” Scarborough said. “Hillary Clinton saying that somebody who is pro-life– I mean, let’s tell the truth; she wanted us to talk about this. She wanted to throw a bright shiny object out there, so they don’t talk about the email scandal.”

“ 'And so she has to be so hyperbolic and insulting and quite frankly just — it’s gutter politics at its worst to compare people to radical terrorists that cut off people’s heads and blow up grandmoms,” he said.

“ 'It’s not all right. And we’ve seen by reporting what these terrorists do to young girls, the sexual slavery is absolutely appalling. And what Hillary Clinton did is compare somebody who is pro-life — which is close to 50% of Americans — to radical terrorists.”

 "Furthermore, Scarborough thinks it was planned all along:

“You know what she was doing during the most disgusting part?” Scarborough said. “She was reading notes. This was planned, and the campaign said she has no plans to apologize and now she’s accusing Republicans of twisting her words.”

"Joe’s theory is that Hillary and her team did this on purpose in order to distract attention away from her problems with her email and a looming FBI investigation. See the video:"

What Does the Modern Malleability of Gender and Race Mean for the Future of Affirmative Action?

The DNA-derived color of one’s skin — not the content of one’s character — usually alone qualified one for affirmative action. If Shaun King or Rachel Dolezal can become black simply by asserting that they are black, are they then eligible for special minority advantages?

Victor Davis Hanson

"In the present postmodern world, we are told that there is no such thing as a biologically distinct gender. Instead, gender is now socially constructed. It can be defined by the individual in almost any way he or she sees fit.

"In the old days, many clinical psychologists would have believed that Caitlyn Jenner — who first came to fame as Olympian Bruce Jenner — is experiencing a well-chronicled psychological state known as transvestism, or the innate pleasure in wearing the clothes and assuming the manners and appearance of the opposite sex.

"Jenner, however, identifies as transgendered. But even if the term is new, the condition is not. References to people acting or dressing as if they were members of the opposite sex — or somewhere in between — were commonly found in the works of ancient authors such as Catullus and Petronius. The difference is that the Greeks and Romans saw it as a psychosexual condition, while today’s postmoderns insist that the transgendered have assumed a self-constructed and genuinely new sexual identity.

"Have they really?" . . .

 

#AllLivesMatter March Draws 20,000

Legal Insurrection

“I’m not going to be bullied for saying #AllLivesMatter”

 

. . . "Led by conservative activist and talk show host Glenn Beck, more than 20,000 people chanting “All Lives Matter” marched the historic civil rights route from Kelly Ingram Park to Birmingham City Hall this morning.

“ 'It’s about taking our church out in the streets,” Beck said. He said marchers came from as far away as China, Dubai and the Netherlands.

"Actor Chuck Norris, a conservative activist known for his martial arts, action movies and TV show “Walker, Texas Ranger,” marched about two rows behind Beck. Alveda King, a niece of civil rights activist the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., marched in the front row. Bishop Jim Lowe, pastor of the predominantly black Guiding Light Church in Birmingham, co-organized the march with Beck and marched with him at the front. As a child, Lowe attended Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, where the march started, a headquarters church for the civil rights movement in Birmingham. Lowe and his sisters were in the church when a KKK bomb blew up the church and killed four little girls on Sept. 15, 1963." . . .

"A source said: 'The Clinton diary hack came at a time when Williams' work with America was of the most sensitive nature.

"'It was a diplomatic nightmare for Sir John Sawers, the new director of MI6 at the time.' " . . .

American Thinker

What do you think when Miley Cyrus declares herself 'pansexual'?

 

American Thinker  . . . "I think liberals are just trying to be stylish and think up new names for things.  There are heterosexuals, and there are homosexuals.  You can call homosexuals pan, or fluid, or this, or that, but it all amounts to the same thing.

"Personally, given her appetites, I think Miley Cyrus should be called not pansexual, but a pandemic sexual, if she's "changing her style" every two weeks.  She talks about it as casually as one would talk about eating Italian one night and Chinese the next, which shows how confused she is and why we shouldn't teach kids in school to be confused like her." . . .

Over 200 Ex-Generals And Admirals Say Iran Deal Risks War

"Their missive blasts virtually everything that Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry assert about the consequences of the deal."

Investor's Business Daily "Iran Deal: At least 214 former generals and admirals signed a letter warning that President Obama's Iran nuclear pact could bring war. It counters less than a quarter of that number publicly supporting the deal.

"President Obama claims that the opponents of his surrender to Iran are neocon warmongers, "the same people who argued for the war in Iraq."

"But the 214 and counting retired military brass who signed an open letter to the leaders of both parties in the two houses of Congress, urging rejection of the agreement, belie that claim. And their emergence upends a previous letter supporting the deal, signed by a fraction of this number of generals.

"One of the signatories of that earlier letter, retired Joint Chiefs member Marine Gen. James Cartwright, was close to Obama and is now the subject of a federal investigation into whether he leaked national security secrets to the media.

"Those signing the letter opposing the deal include Air Force Gen. Lance Smith, a decorated combat fighter pilot who was NATO's Supreme Allied Commander for Transformation; Air Force Gen. James Davis, who was chief of staff for the Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Powers, Europe; and the organizer of the letter, decorated Navy combat aviator and former vice chief of naval operations, Adm. Leon "Bud" Edney." . . . Full article

Krauthammer: What six years of ‘reset’ have wrought. (That's "RESET" not "respect")

http://comicallyincorrect.com/2013/08/08/priorities-usa-putin-and-obama/

Charles Krauthammer

"On September 5, 2014, two days after President Obama visited Estonia to symbolize America’s commitment to its security, Russian agents crossed into Estonia and kidnapped an Estonian security official. Last week, after a closed trial, Russia sentenced him to 15 years.

"The reaction? The State Department issued a statement. The NATO secretary-general issued a tweet. Neither did anything. The European Union (reports the Wall Street Journal) said it was too early to discuss any possible action.

 

"Charles Krauthammer writes a weekly political column that runs on Fridays. View Archive

The timing of this brazen violation of NATO territory — immediately after Obama’s visit — is testimony to Vladimir Putin’s contempt for the American president. He knows Obama would do nothing. Why should he think otherwise?

" Putin breaks the arms embargo to Iran by lifting the hold on selling it S-300 missiles. Obama responds by excusing him, saying it wasn’t technically illegal and adding, with a tip of the hat to Putin’s patience: “I’m frankly surprised that it held this long.' ”. . .

Since the end of World War II, Russia has known that what stands in the way of westward expansion was not Europe, living happily in decadent repose, but the United States as guarantor of Western security. Obama’s naivete and ambivalence have put those guarantees in question.
It began with the reset button, ostentatiously offered less than two months after Obama’s swearing-in. Followed six months later by the unilateral American cancellation of the missile shield the Poles and the Czechs had agreed to install on their territory. Again, lest Putin be upset.
By 2012, a still clueless Obama mocked Mitt Romney for saying that Russia is “without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe,” quipping oh so cleverly: “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.” After all, he explained, “the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”

 

White House concedes new gun laws wouldn’t have stopped Va. gunman

Washington Times

 

 . . . "Law enforcement officials said gunman Vester Flanagan used a Glock handgun in Wednesday’s shooting, one of two that he bought last month. He legally bought two Glock model 19 handguns from a Virginia dealer.

"Mr. Earnest said the White House has never suggested that one piece of gun legislation would prevent all gun violence in the U.S. But Mr. Earnest said the proposal on background checks, which failed in the Senate in 2013, would prevent other shooting deaths around the country every day.

“There are similarly shocking acts of violence that don’t get as much attention that could be prevented … if Congress weren’t scared of the NRA,” he said.

"Flanagan opened fire on WDBJ reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27, during a live broadcast in Virginia on Wednesday, killing both of them. He later killed himself as police closed in.

"A third shooting victim, Vicki Gardner, who was being interviewed when Flanagan began shooting, was upgraded from stable to good condition Thursday in a hospital." . . .

American Silliness: Moonbats At U Of Tennessee Tells Staff To Stop Using ‘He’ And ‘She’, And Use ‘Xe’, ‘Zyr’ and ‘Xyr’ Instead

 Weasel Zippers

 

"Insanity, what do those terms even mean?

Via Daily Mail:

The University of Tennessee has told its staff and students to stop calling each other ‘he’, ‘she’, ‘him’ and ‘her’ – and to start referring to one another with terms like ‘xe’, ‘zir’ and ‘xyr’ instead.

The Knoxville branch of the public university sent a memo round to its members filled with unusual new parts of speech to avoid referring to anybody’s gender.

According to a gay rights official at the university, the new language regime will make the university ‘welcoming and inclusive’ and stop people feeling ‘marginalized’.

Peggy Noonan: America Is So in Play

WSJ
 "Donald Trump’s staying power in the polls reflects a change in the electorate only now coming into focus."

 

. . . "Something is going on, some tectonic plates are moving in interesting ways. My friend Cesar works the deli counter at my neighborhood grocery store. He is Dominican, an immigrant, early 50s, and listens most mornings to a local Hispanic radio station, La Mega, on 97.9 FM. Their morning show is the popular “El Vacilón de la Mañana,” and after the first GOP debate, Cesar told me, they opened the lines to call-ins, asking listeners (mostly Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican) for their impressions. More than half called in to say they were for Mr. Trump. Their praise, Cesar told me a few weeks ago, dumbfounded the hosts. I later spoke to one of them, who identified himself as D.J. New Era. He backed Cesar’s story. “We were very surprised,” at the Trump support, he said. Why? “It’s a Latin-based market!”

“ 'He’s the man,” Cesar said of Mr. Trump. This week I went by and Cesar told me that after Mr. Trump threw Univision’s well-known anchor and immigration activist, Jorge Ramos, out of an Iowa news conference on Tuesday evening, the “El Vacilón” hosts again threw open the phone lines the following morning and were again surprised that the majority of callers backed not Mr. Ramos but Mr. Trump. Cesar, who I should probably note sees me, I sense, as a very nice establishment person who needs to get with the new reality, was delighted." . . .

Rush Limbaugh:  GOP Elites Struggle to Comprehend Trump's Appeal to the Base They Hate

 

 . . . "But more than that, all of this opposition to the fixtures of Washington is real.  It's not fringe.  It's not tiny.  It's not made up of kooks.  It is more and more mainstream, and she has been stunned!  She writes that she's stunned to learn that there are Hispanics that feel this way and that there are African-Americans who feel this way, and that there are blacks and Latinos and Asians and you name it. 

"In other words: Inside the Beltway they think all of this anti-Washington stuff is a bunch of conservative fringe kooks.  Peggy went out there -- she's been talking to people, she's traveled the country -- and she's found out that every demographic under the sun is represented by these people who are unhappy with the leadership that they're getting in all of Washington. Not just Republicans, not just Democrats, but the whole shebang."
