Big Journalism : Retarded Leftist Projection: The Dark Soul of Collectivism

Fri, 29 Apr 2011 18:29:14 +0000

I watched it when it aired & just now, there's nothing in that video that indicates he's using "water head" to describe people with mental health problems. He even uses the word drip as in You and Baldwin FAIL again. Looks like ASB1984 and Adam Baldwin are the ones doing the "projecting" here.

"A queer rhetorical and ideological alliance" Wow, I've heard of guilt by association, but that' ridiculous. If that clip you provided was supposed show that Obama's suggestion that driving a fuel efficient car is the moral equivalent of a white supremacy, it's an epic FAIL. What does that exchange have to do with Erlich,Guzzardi or Population Control? Adam Baldwin wrote: "Obama has also championed abortion and callously mocked the Special Olympics and “water heads.” The Urban Dictionary defines “water head” as “a person with mental health problems, i.e. downs syndrome, or retard.” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've never heard the term "water head" before I read this, but I clicked the link Adam posted. Here's where the term "water head" is discussed, from the Tonight Show, Jay Leno is asking the questions: Q All right, one last question. Now, when is the dog coming? I keep hearing about the dog. It seems to me -- when was the dog supposed to be there by? I thought it was, like, as soon as -- THE PRESIDENT: Listen, this is Washington -- (laughter) -- that was a campaign promise. (Laughter.) Q Oh, wow. Wow. Man. (Laughter and applause.) THE PRESIDENT: I'm teasing. The dog will be there shortly. (Laughter.) Q How soon? THE PRESIDENT: We have actually sort of been laying the groundwork here. We've got a trip, I've got to go to the NATO summit. When we get back, dog will be in place. Q Wow. And it's, what, a Portuguese water head? (Laughter.) What is it, what kind of dog is it? THE PRESIDENT: It's not that. (Laughter.) Q It's not that. THE PRESIDENT: It's not a "water head." (Laughter.) Q Whatever they are, I don't know what they are. THE PRESIDENT: That sounds like a scary dog. (Laughter.) Sort of dripping around the house. (Laughter.) Q I don't know what it is. THE PRESIDENT: No, no. We're going to get a dog that is -- that I think the girls will have a great time -- I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with it. You know, they say if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. (Laughter.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's an innocent discussion about getting a dog for his daughters. Adam Baldwin turns it into a slur against people with mental health problems. Leno called a Portuguese Water Dog a "Purtuguese Water Head". Obama corrected him. So Adam, how on Earth does your link indicate that Obama was "callously mocking" people who have Down Syndrome? Do you actually read links you post or just see a term and jump to a conclusion?

Big Journalism : JournoList: FrankenKlein's Monster

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:51:25 +0000

Here's what John Tabin of the Commie-Socialist American Spectator says about Journolist: "Everyone who has reason to be embarrassed by a direct quote in the Daily Caller's series on Journolist is an openly opinionated commentator. (The one partial exception is Jeffrey Toobin, who presents himself as a middle-of-the-road analyst on CNN, but his weaselly nature has always been pretty obvious.) Everyone who has been shown to have their work influenced by conversations on Journolist is, likewise, a commentator. That Chris Hayes tries to get perspective from other liberals before he goes on TV to opine on a topic, or that Joe Klein incorporates ideas from off-the-record exchanges into his blog posts, is not exactly earthshaking news. " At least John Tabin isn't a breitbot like John Sexton and the rest of you.

wohlfguy wrote: "a journalism professor is not a opinion columnist" I'm guessing wohlfguy is so ignorant of history that he never heard of Todd Gitlin. He was president of SDS 40 years ago and has been in the public eye ever since. No one who isn't retarded is under any delusion that Gitlin practices "objectivity". He's written books that make his opinion obvious: http://www.amazon.com/Todd-Gitlin/e/B001IR3OV6/re... And guess what wohlfguy,in addition to being a journalism prof.,Gitlin is an opinion columnist. Here are some examples: http://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/06/books/hip-deep-... http://www.tnr.com/blog/foreign-policy/75984/conf... http://www.salon.com/news/politics/feature/2000/1... wohlfguy,a typical breitbot moron.

Ezra Klein is an opinion columnist you breitbot. http://www.newsweek.com/authors/ezra-klein.html I could've mentioned 5 or 500 people on that list, every name that's come out so far is someone who makes a living expressing opinions, not hard "objective" news.

This is the biggest non-story of all time,but keep bringing the Journolist smack! I love seeing you guys get giddy over this. It's so cute! Sexton mentions Todd Gitlin & Ezra Klein. Here are some more names that pop up on JournoList Katha Pollitt Joe Klein Chris Hayes Paul Krugman Eric Alterman You know what those folks are paid to do? Write Editorials, Opinion pieces,columns,go on tv to argue from a liberal perspective. They're all openly partisan, they don't pretend to be objective dispassionate journalists. What has the leaking of Journolist shown us? Gasp! Liberal editorial columnists who write opinion columns, have, like,liberal opinions! And that sometimes opinionated people bounce ideas off each other! Noooooooo! Didn't see that coming. Yet Sexton and the rest of the breitbots act like this is some sort of major revelation? You've uncovered the equivalent of 'The Parallax View',the greatest conspiracy in history is revealed! Liberals who say and write liberal opinions are liberals!!!! Next you'll be telling me that some of the commenters who post on Free Republic are conservatives. Is this the John Sexton who went to Benedictine writing this piece? You might want to go back to high school and learn the meaning of the words "opinion" and "editorial" before posting your next piece of political excrement here.

Big Journalism : From JournoList to Shirley Sherrod: The Left's Default Response is Fascism

I asked this 2 hours ago John: John, did you try contacting the Spooners to see if they thought she was a racist? Did Mike Walsh try contacting them? Yes or no? I'm going to interpret your failure to respond as a "no". Of course you didn't try to contact the Spooners,because the Spooners destroy you're whole "narrative" about Sherrod being a racist against white people. As long as Nolte writes here, maybe a better name for this site is BigFAIL.

Another radical leftist criticizes Breitbart's tactics: http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/21/gop-house-leade... House Minority Leader John Boehner on Wednesday criticized the decision by conservative media personality Andrew Breitbart to air only a small portion of the video showing USDA official Shirley Sherrod making racially charged remarks earlier this year, which led to her firing. "It's unfortunate that whoever laid this out there didn't lay out the whole story, as opposed to a part of it," said Boehner, an Ohio Republican, at a lunch with journalists in Washington. "They only put a little piece of the story out there and people make judgments and they rush and they make bad decisions. They make rash decisions. I don't want to say bad because I haven't seen all of this," he said.

No,I would never want to see this or any Breitbart sites shut down. I come here every day, to read your ridiculous conspiracy theories espoused by editors,bloggers and commenters about Soros,Alinsky,Stalinism,Facsism,Marxism,etc. I would fight in court for this site to exist,because I believe insanity should be displayed in public. The views of Nolte,Breitbart,Prelutsky,etc should be on display for everyone to read and see how out of touch they are. The Shirley Sherrods and Roger Spooners of America are more in touch with reality than Nolte will ever be.

I just googled this site to see what bigjournalism had to say about the Spooner family. You know, the family who Sherrod helped 20 some years back? Guess how many hits came up? Zero,because bigjournalism doesn't care about the truth: http://www.thepostsearchlight.com/news/2010/jul/2... "Spooner said he never cared what Sherrod's race was and said the experience wasn’t ever about race." "Spooner said without her help, their farm would have been sold on the steps of the courthouse some 20 years ago. “She was right there with us,” Spooner said. “She knew more about our business than we did.”" John, did you try contacting the Spooners to see if they thought she was a racist? Did Mike Walsh try contacting them? Yes or no?

I watched the clip with Sherrod,I heard what she said. Where did she say "I want the goverment or police to shut down the site." She didn't say that. She's not calling for government censorship or arrest of Breitbart. No fascism here.

John,where did Sherrod call for government censorship in that interview? Did Sherrod say "I want the government to forcibly shut down the "Big" sites? Did she call for Breitbart to be imprisoned? She didn't. No fascism here. "Vast Right-Wing Conspirator even hint at the idea of silencing, quieting, or shutting down the other side." Stop lying John. On this and every other Breitbart site, bloggers,editors and commenters are calling every day for the abolition of everything they oppose, Unions, ACORN,etc. And sorry John, you and your right wing extremist ilk spent 40-odd years screaming "America:Love it or leave it!" Just because Obama won, the right suddenly cares about the First Amendment? Give me a damn break. Breitbart seriously screwed up Sherrod’s life when he pushed the edited clip and he’s yet to offer any apology. Obama’s administration over reacted, but at least Obama apologized.

Big Journalism : 'Standing for Our Soldiers': 3rd Annual Troopathon--Watch it Here Live, Thursday, July 1st

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:32:24 +0000

FAIL. Move America Forward is a rightwing extremist pro-war org run by WorldNetDaily's Melanie Morgan. I give to the USO,a truly non-partisan organization. If Breitbart gave a damn about veterans,he'd be condemning Republican Senator Tom Coburn for blocking funds that would help veterans,here: http://washingtonindependent.com/90457/tom-coburn... "What makes troopathon such a success, and an exciting event for our troops and our supporters, is the star power we bring out! In our Troopathons we’ve been proud to have such participants as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Laura Ingraham, Gary Sinise, Jon Voight, Kevin Farley, John Ondrasik of the band Five for Fighting, Oliver North, President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Dr. David Horowitz, Carrie Prejean and many many more!" Good one Andrew. Star power? David Horowitz=a "star"? I'm sure troops & veterans were joyful when they learned a commie-turned rightwing crackpot was involved with MAF. I've got veterans of recent wars in my family who voted for Obama, they wouldn't be caught dead at an event featuring the likes of Coulter,Horowitz,Hannity,Cheney, or Limbaugh. By the way Andrew, once again, where's your proof that "Potato Day" was actually celebrated at your kid's school? Did it really happen or were you lying? When you make extraordinary claims, it's up to you to back them up. If you were lying about that,anything else you say is suspect. I'll keep asking as long as you fail to produce evidence.

I don't have $100 grand sitting around in an account that I can give away. I'm one of those "real" Americans who work for a living that conservatives pretend to care about. Considering that the Breitbart websites have bloggers who use pseudonyms(Publius,Frank Ross,Of Thee I Sing 1776),my use of a pseudonym is not an issue.

Shame on you for using graves of fallen soldiers to defend liars like Andrew. So Andrew, where's the proof that "potato day" happened?

And you're a breitbot. You'll always be a breitbot. "The "Potato Day" meme, true or not, is completely irrelevant and in no way influences the March 20th incident." If the person screaming loudest(Breitbart,in this case)for "truth" has questionable history of truth-telling, the "potato day" meme is extremely relevant. Breitbart's silence on this matter is interesting. But,since you want me to talk about the Weigel/Journolist thing, I will. No one gives a damn. No one,that is, except political junkies,and even most of them don't give a damn either. You think the leaking will suddenly convince millions of people that there's a liberal media conspiracy and...then what? Vote Obama out of office? With that out of the way,once again, Andrew, where's you're proof "potato day" happened?

Does Cowboy Logic want to limit my First Amendment rights? Are you calling for me to be arrested? I thought breitbots like yourself opposed Bigubment intrusion into our rights. If you think quoting someone on a blog constitutes "stalking", I suggest you read up on stalking laws. Andrew, answer the question please. Can you prove "potato day" happened?

If he was being rhetorical,why did Andrew repeat the allegation: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/13/b... The "joke" was that these right-wing zealots weren't giving the new president enough time, that the previous president did worse things, and that I, in particular, was ridiculous for blaming the president for "St. Patrick's Day" becoming "Potato Day" at my kids' public school. (Yes, the name change took place. No, I did not blame President Obama — specifically.) Prove it Andrew.

Sorry,the burden of proof in on Breitbart. When someone makes an extraordinary claim, the burden of proof is on them to back it up, not on me to prove it didn't happen. If someone believes ghosts and goblins exist, the burden of proof is on them to prove they exist, not on me to prove they don't. Just like ghosts and goblins, "Potato Day" doesn't exist.
