As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Media Matters for America (MMFA) the Soros-funded self-described media watchdog group dedicated to attacking FOX News and other conservatives, (including Dana Loesch and Andrew Breitbart, and even attempting to go after our own Tony Katz) has decided that when they can’t use facts, logic or reason, they’ll resort to name calling.
what shld be obvious, and why i’ve been highlight vile, racists RW comments, is RW blog biz model revolves arnd giving open forum to hate
That’s the MMFA way; go after the “right wing” for giving the “open forum to hate.” It’s a bold statement, devoid of facts, and full of straw-man arguments and innuendo. Yet, just two hours after decrying the full on evil of the political right, Boehlert posted this tweet:
this photo explains why Christie didn’t run for WH (not being snide; just realistic) bit.ly/ySMTdD
Boehlert, the champion of being kind, sweet and loving, thinks that Gov. Christie can’t be elected president because of his weight. Media Matter was recently embroiled in a scandal where they were highlighted by a Girl Scout book as a source of media misinformation. Under the headline “Consider the Source,” the book informed these young girls that they should check with MMFA to find out what “lies” are being told in the press.
Once exposed, MMFA was removed from the book. Now, after Boehlert’s playground attack on Gov. Christie, one can see what a good thing that is. You don’t want bullies and their “vile comments” to influence the young people, do you?
As reported by Breitbart TV, Andrew Breitbart – owner and operator of the “Big” sites – has called for the resignation of Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL). This is in the wake of Peter Schweizer’s new book, Throw Them All Out and the revelation that Bachus, as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, took advantage of insider information that led him to make stock moves that financially benefitted him.
Here is Andrew on The Victory Sessions with Steve Bannon and co-host Peter Schweizer. discussing the issue:
This is Tony’s latest article on BigPeace.com. While the left called FOX News and others scare-mongers for discussing the Libyan draft constitution (and its adherence to Sharia law,) it turns out that the truth was starting everyone in the face since August.
Big Peace Outhinks Think Progress, Sen. McCain on Libya, Sharia
At the end of August, the great minds at Think Progress were horrified at the prospect that Libya, if Gadhafi lost power, would end up being an Islamist nation utilizing Sharia Law as the foundation for its political and legal system. More to the point, Think Progress was feigning horror at those on the political right who referenced a blog from The Heritage Foundation that highlighted a draft constitution, and made the case for this possibility. From the blog: (emphasis mine)
Much of the document describes political institutions that will sound familiar to citizens of Western liberal democracies, including rule of law, freedom of speech and religious practice, and a multi-party electoral system.
But despite the Lockean tenor of much of the constitution, the inescapable clause lies right in Part 1, Article 1: “Islam is the Religion of the State, and the principal source of legislation is Islamic Jurisprudence (Sharia).”Under this constitution, in other words, Islam is law. That makes other phrases such as “there shall be no crime or penalty except by virtue of the law” and “Judges shall be independent, subject to no other authority but law and conscience” a bit more ominous.
Think Progress thought this was such a good way to go after the political right (in attempt to demonize them as scare-mongers and anti-Muslim) that they made a video attacking FOX News reporting the draft constitution, and highlighting Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) as the voice of reason:
The clip involves numerous interviews on FOX programs, where McCain spends time praising the interim government, including a statement that these are people “…he knows well.” In one segment during an interview with Steve Doocy on FOX AND FRIENDS, McCain sounded very sure about the situation with the Constitution in Libya:
Doocy: They can be talking about Sharia Law as the basis of their new constitution, and so what we might wind up with over there is something closer to a radical islamic government. And that’s not what we want.
McCain: Well, first of all, that’s not going to happen, and this business
Doocy: I hope you’re right.
McCain: about a constitution, I mean Sharia Law. They made a statement last March where they specifically stated that it is their mission that the rights of women and the equality of women are insured.
Two days after the Heritage blog came out, BigPeace.com contributor Clare Lopez stated: (emphasis mine)
By dealing preferentially with the Muslim Brotherhood and other shariah-adherents in both Egypt and Syria, U.S. leadership is enabling the substitution of secular tyranny with Islamic tyranny in both places. If the U.S. does the same thing in Libya and fails to provide strong, visible support to the genuine democrats, liberals, and reformers that do still exist in Libya, the outcome there will not be the one dreamy-eyed groupies of the Arab Spring envisioned, butanother new regime, founded on Islamic law, that is hostile to American interests and those of our remaining friends and allies
And just days after the killing of Gadhafi by rebel forces, reports have surfaced that, indeed, Libya will use Sharia Law as its foundation. As reported by The Times of India:
Islamic sharia law will prevail in Libya and any existing laws that contradict this will be repealed, National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil said on Monday. ”As an Islamic country, we have adopted Sharia as the principal law….As an example is the law on divorce and marriage … This law is contrary to Sharia and it has been scrapped.”
For those keeping score: +1 for FOX News, +1 for BigPeace.com, -1 for Sen. McCain, -1 for Think Progress. The big losers, however, are the people of Libya who will now go from bad to unthinkably worse. -2 for President Obama, for leading from behind, and, as Lopez described, for failing to provide the “strong, visible support” needed to bring about a better result for the Libyans, and the world.
Tony is off, so Kurt Schlichter fills in. Kurt welcomes Daily Caller founder Derek Hunter, policy expert Josh Trevino and editor of Big Hollywood John Nolte.
Live from the studios of PJTV, Tony talks with John Nolte, editor of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Hollywood, about the SEIU payoff to Media Matters For America and the lack of justice for Kenneth Gladney.
PJTV was at the RightOnline conference in Minneapolis this past weekend: Stephen Kruiser and I were there to hear from bloggers and presidential candidates and to present a panel of our own.
In the same city — and the same hotel! — the left-leaning Netroots Nation conference was also happening.
You may have heard that Andrew Breitbart had an incident when he walked over to the NRN conference. Before he could comply with security requests to obtain media credentials or leave the floor, he was surrounded by NRN bloggers asking him a host of questions. The most prominent questioner was Ryan Clayton, founder of USUNCUT.org — an organization focused on closing loopholes for corporations as a way to get them to pay more taxes.
Back from the RightOnline conference, Tony breaks down what happened with the NetRoots Nation-staged press conference, and why the smear against Andrew Breitbart once again proves the haplessness of leftist hate.
Live from the RightOnline conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Tony speaks with Michelle Malkin and Washington Times reporter Kerry Picket about the future of journalism.
The admission heard around the world! Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) admits that it is him in the photo, and that he sent the photo. Tony talks with Breitbart.tv editor Larry O’ Connor, Stephen Green and Dana Loesch producer Kane about what happens next.
