Liberal Media Bias

Holocaust Survivors Robbed Of Kosher Food "For the First Time" By Romney, Says Gingrich

2012-01-31T11:32:00.000-08:00

"Holocaust survivors who for the first time were forced to eat non-kosher because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for your grandparents to eat kosher. Where is Mitt Romney’s compassion for our seniors? Tuesday you can end Mitt Romney's hypocrisy of religious freedoms... Paid for by Newt 2012."

'For the first time? So according to famed historian Newt Gingrich, the holocaust prisoners were given kosher meals?? Newt Gingrich suggested the Romney is religiously worse than Nazis, on Tuesday. At least Nazis were compassionate to use tax money to pay for kosher meals at nursing homes, or something.

Polls show that all GOP candidates are quickly losing support. Why? Because they are attacking each other and Obama and the media is more than happy to pile on. People only see negative now. That's what Fox News says anyway.

But multiple studies show that broadcast media, Fox News, and all other media actually have a positive bias toward the GOP candidates... except for Mitt Romney. Multiple studies show a horribly negative tilt attacking Romney in the media. Gingrich's slimy, ridiculous attacks only fall into their plans.

Gingrich promises to drag it out another 6 months. With the Sarah Palin-endorsed attacks degenerating more and more, how will the public perceive Romney by then? Gingrich obviously wants Obama to win. He set out to destroy the Republican Party in the 90s and his mission is still on target. He will do anything to make our presidential candidate unelectable.

Gingrich Calls Romney A Religious Threat To America

2012-01-31T07:31:00.000-08:00

We all knew the Mormon card was coming.

Newt is terribly upset that Mitt Romney didn't spend tax payer money on special kosher meals for old people in nursing homes. The biased media is terribly upset too.

Gingrich said it goes against human conscience; it is a basic human liberty to have the government pay for special religious meals at nursing homes.

But Fox News cheerfully reported that Newt took this ridiculous attack a step further in calling Romney a religious threat to America:

Newt Gingrich laid a stark attack on his rival in the run-up to Florida's "winner -take-all" Republican presidential primary Tuesday, accusing Mitt Romney of being no different than President Obama and suggesting the frontrunner will be a threat to religious freedom.

As Romney seeks to tighten his grip on the Republican presidential nomination, charging ahead by double-digits in most late polling in Florida, Gingrich told Fox News on Monday that Romney's decision while Massachusetts governor to cut Medicaid funding for health care services that benefited Jewish and Catholic facilities demonstrated that he has little respect for religion. He added that the trend is for a secular state assault on people of faith.

What a disgusting human being! What a horrible menace to our peaceful society! How awful of our biased Fox News to propagate this slimy piece of trash!!

Fox News has 63% negative Bias against Mitt Romney: Study

2012-01-30T12:47:00.000-08:00

The Center for Media and Public Affairs released a study that showed an enormous bias in the mainstream media against Romney that is not seen against the other Republican candidates.

The first half our of Fox's "Special Report" is supposed to be free of all opinion, strictly news, yet the study found a 63% negative vs. 37% positive bias when Mitt Romney was mentioned. The broadcast networks (NBC, CBS, ABC) were even worse with a 78% negative vs. only 22% positive bias.

Romney was the only candidate to get a majority negative bias. The networks gave Ron Paul a 73% positive bias and only 27% negative. Jon Huntsman was 71% positive vs. 29% negative. Rick Santorum was 56% positive vs. 44% negative. Newt Gingrich was 52% positive vs. 48% negative.

A second study confirmed this widespread bias against Mitt Romney in the media. The Project for Excellence in Journalism found that among all the media, there was a 38% negative to 25% positive bias against Romney. Gingrich got a Gingrich's 29% positive and 27% negative bias.

America is truly brainwashed!

Gateway Pundit Loses Readers As Anti-Romney Rhetoric Heats Up

2012-01-26T20:07:00.000-08:00

According to alexa.com, TheGatewayPundit.com blog seriously lost visitors over the last month. Other conservative news sites such as Drudgereport have gone up, during this time of increasing political excitement.

Traffic stats from Alexa show a 21% decrease over the last week. Despite the recent bump from people returning from the holidays, the 3 month average shows a 6% decrease.

After playing it on the fence, Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit came out as a Mitt Romney critic and Newt Gingrich fan recently. The majority of his stories are now anti-Romney, and often very petty. His top post currently ridicules Romney for asking Santorum not to get so angry about Romneycare.

Will Jim Hoft go the way of Jim Robinson when Romney gets nominated???

How NBC falsely portrays Christian ignorance of sex- an example

2012-01-26T11:59:00.000-08:00

Teen Girl Calls Cops on Mom For Having Sex

"A North Florida teen who "felt disrespected" by her mother after she heard her having sex in an adjoining bedroom called 911 to report the lovemaking, according to a police report....

The teen girl told police that there was no form of abuse or neglect in the house, but she wanted to be placed in a Christian children's shelter, the report said." (nbcmiami.com)

This story on Drudge illustrates how the media falsely portrays Christian youth as having misconceptions about sex. The large photo at the top of NBC's article shows young teenagers cuddling in a bed, suggesting that the story is about a teen's misconceptions about sex. The original story at Smoking Gun showed two adults in a bed. The first sentence in NBC's report confirms this bias.

If my mother kept me up till 4 am on a school night with loud love involving some stranger, you bet I would be calling the cops too. I doubt it was about the sex so much as the fact that the noise was keeping her awake until 4 in the morning on a school night. That is indeed very disrespectful.

The fact that the girl asked to be placed in a Christian foster home undoubtedly increased the media's outrage. The Christian nature of the specific foster home requested by the girl was not mentioned in the police report- it was added by NBC.

Fox News fails to mention Gingrich the Grinch in report on Romney/Obama's charitable donations

2012-01-24T12:06:00.001-08:00

The class-warfare waged by Newt Gingrich and Obama against Romney taxes blew up in their faces today. It turns out Romney gives a decent percentage to taxes. Not only that, he pays 15 times as much of his income to charity as Obama. Romney paid 15% to charity and Obama paid 1%. Fox pointed out Obama's stinginess, but what about Newt?

Newt only pays 2% to charity.

Mark Sanford Gives Gingrich Advice on How to Seduce Republicans

2012-01-24T11:00:00.000-08:00

You stay classy, Fox News. They have recruited the most infamous Republican adulterer, the disgraced former-governor of S. C. Mark Sanford to advise the debaucherous Newt Gingrich on how to convince conservatives that morals aren't that important to being a leader

I especially love the piece of advice of telling the people that he's "He’s Not Jesus."

Fox News: Five Challenges Facing Newt Gingrich Right Now

Newt Gingrich said Marriage Rulings should be 'within context of American life'

2012-01-20T07:51:00.000-08:00

When asked about the role of the Supreme Court and judicial activism Newt Gingrich said:

"I respect the independence of the judiciary in judging independent cases, unless the person doing the judging proves to be so extraordinarily out of the context of American life and American law that they shouldn't be there."

Consider that closely. Judges should judge all their cases within the context of the American life or they shouldn't be there. In a followup question to this Newt suggested that the judiciary has failed to do their job and this therefore applies to his support for a ban on gay marriage.

CNBC's Bain Connection To Auto-Bailout Was Former Guest On CNBC

2012-01-18T08:48:00.000-08:00

The Bain Capital partner who allegedly consulted TARP on the auto-bailout appeared on CNBC to discuss how company mergers can be profitable during hard times. In 2009, Ted Rouse told CNBC that strong companies could do well by acquiring small companies in tough economic times. In 2008, Ted Rouse told CNBC that acquisitions reap the most rewards in tough economic times (video here).

Doesn't it seem kinda hypocritical for CNBC to now pin blame on him for giving this same advise to TARP?

CNBC retracted a report that Bain Capital under Mitt Romney advised Obama on his auto-bailout. Desperate to blame anyone but Obama for his historic government debt, CNBC rashly published the report before they received all the facts. CNBC had no names of who did the consulting or what they said. They had contacted Bain for comment at 6pm and after hearing no reply went ahead and published the story at 9pm.

Bain later denied any involvement and CNBC pulled the story.

Today CNBC un-pulled their allegations after learning that Bain Capital was indeed involved, a partner of theirs was anyway. From what it sounds like, TARP called him unexpectedly on the phone and he gave a terse sentence of advise. So a partner of a company Romney led said something to someone at TARP about their auto-bailout, which Obama touted as a success. Boy what a story!

Ted Rouse provided that "unsolicited" advise, Ted Rouse whom CNBC themselves used as an expert on acquiring companies. Ted Rouse specializes in merger integration, which means he cuts the fat off companies that get bought from other companies. His professional profile makes it clear:

Scale deals, designed to achieve cost savings, usually require a comprehensive integration, whereas in deals that expand the scope of the business a selective integration is typically more appropriate.

He cowrote an op-ed explaining how to effectively outsource overseas, using CNBC's owner GE as an example:

"In studying the offshoring practices of major industrial companies, we've found that Continental's highly modular approach is shared by other supply-chain leaders like General Electric...

They realize that just by shifting certain carefully selected processes or activities, they can often approximate the savings of moving facilities without having to bear the shut-down and start-up costs. In particular, they focus on moving the most labor-intensive functions-whether simple assembly or complex engineering-while keeping highly automated functions within their traditional locations.

By placing the right functions in the right places, manufacturers can not only cut their supply-chain costs, but also strengthen their capabilities and extend their reach into attractive new markets." (www.industryweek.com)

So what did this Bain partner tell someone at TARP? According to Eamon Javers at CNBC he said they need to move automobiles around so that dealerships don't have an overstock of cars that people in those particular areas don't want to buy :

"An expert from Bain Consulting also stated many dealerships have too much inventory relative to their market area, particularly in smaller markets or markets where there are more dealers than necessary, because they have to have sufficient diversity in their inventory to cover the manufacturer’s entire portfolio and to meet varied customer needs."

Oh the humanity!

MSNBC: Romney Is Like Racists Who Kept Rosa Parks In Back Of Bus

Fox News/Associated Press Keeps Up Mormon-Bashing With Lies

2012-01-16T12:16:00.000-08:00

Concerns about Romney's faith quieter but not gone

Almighty Associated Press via Fox News is not yet okay with the fact that Mitt Romney is Mormon. "The second time around, the shock has worn off," they report, but "suspicions" still linger. AP reports that "Conservative Christians, including Protestants and Roman Catholics, do not consider Mormons to be Christian." That's quite a blanket statement! Fox News earlier reported that Mitt Romney is "obviously not a Christian."

Polls show majorities of Catholics and Protestants actually did consider Mormons to be Christians in 2007. The media has successfully reduced this number among Evangelicals to about half, but still a vast majority of Catholics and Protesants prefer Romney over other candidates. The media needs to drop this disgusting lie. Fact is Christians do consider Mormons to be Christians. The liberal media doesn't.

91% of Evangelicals would vote for Romney over Obama.

Ignoring recent polls that show massive support amongst Evangelicals, AP keeps up the bigotry wedge. Romney actually received the majority Evangelical vote in New Hampshire and Iowa. A PPP poll shows less than a quarter Evangelicals in South Carolina feel uncomfortable voting for a Mormon. AP admits "ruefully" that Christians are starting to turn to Romney, but the message is that they need to stick by their values and be bigoted. AP goes so far as to hype activists who say Gingrich's marital infidelity and switching between churches is better than being Mormon:

In the upstate city of Easley, the Rev. Brad Atkins, president of the South Carolina General Baptist Convention, has posted an email exchange on his church website with a local reporter on his objections to the LDS church. "Romney's Mormonism will be more a cause of concern than Gingrich's infidelity," Atkins wrote. Christians can forgive sin, the pastor said, "but will struggle to understand how anyone could be a Mormon and call themselves a Christian."

Hector Chavez, a Roman Catholic and Republican voter in Columbia, said he can't support Romney and neither can many people he knows. "As a Christian, I can't vote for somebody who can't lead us in a Christian way," Chavez said. He's leaning toward voting for Perry.

Associated Press strangely doesn't mention a meeting of 150 alleged Christian leaders in which they allegedly anointed Rick Santorum. Maybe that's because this meeting was plagued with allegations of vote fraud. By their fruits ye shall know them, I guess.

Associated Press earlier revealed a strategy for defeating Romney which included Mormon-bashing. There has been a sharp increase in media reports lately critical of Romney's religion. The New York Times gives a surprised bit of insight into why this is happening. It isn't about Mitt Romney at all:

“I don’t have any concerns about Mitt Romney using his position as either a candidate or as president of the United States to push Mormonism,” said Mr. Roberts, an author of “Mormonism Unmasked” and president of the Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, who said he had no plans to travel to South Carolina before the voting. “The concern among evangelicals is that the Mormon Church will use his position around the world as a calling card for legitimizing their church and proselytizing people.”

Do Drudge Report/HotAir.com Support Obama Over Romney?

2012-01-15T08:39:00.000-08:00

Phony-conservative news site Drudgereport.com is running ads that bash Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The ads are by Newt Gingrich's super PAC Winning Our Future. Politifact blasted Newt's previous ads from this PAC as untrue, and it has become clear to political observers that Newt wants to sabotage Romney and give Obama the elections. Drudgereport has decided to help Obama win, apparently.

Hotair.com notoriously hates Romney because he is Mormon. The phony conservative site's owner Salem Communications has a widespread campaign against Mormons. Their headlines today include:

Why Romney is weak against Obama
Michelle Obama for Senate?
Sure looks like the economy is improving, says... Romney?
We’re starting to give up on repealing ObamaCare, aren’t we?

Whose side are they on? Anyone, and I mean anyone, except the Mormon!

NBC Fabricates Photo Of Romney At Security Check As 'Elitist Shoe Shine'

2012-01-13T18:51:00.000-08:00

Unbelievable

NBC claimed this photo "shows Governor Romney on a tarmac, his feet kicked up, getting polished in front of a corporate jet." Not true. It is actually Romney getting screened at an airport check point, via newsbusters.

NBC also published a false story claiming that Bain Capital advised Obama to fire people on the auto bailout. Typical for liberals to shift the blame away from Obama. Unfortunately the story was completely false and CNBC had to retract that story.

Thinkprogress Misquotes Wall Street Journal In Attack On Bain Capital

2012-01-09T09:51:00.001-08:00

Romney’s Bain Capital Made Billions While Bankrupting Nearly One-Quarter Of The Companies It Invested In

Here is the quote that the George Soros rag uses to get its headline:

The Wall Street Journal, aiming for a comprehensive assessment, examined 77 businesses Bain invested in while Mr. Romney led the firm from its 1984 start until early 1999, to see how they fared during Bain’s involvement and shortly afterward.

Among the findings: 22% either filed for bankruptcy reorganization or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain first invested, sometimes with substantial job losses. An additional 8% ran into so much trouble that all of the money Bain invested was lost. [...]

The Journal analysis shows that in total, Bain produced about $2.5 billion in gains for its investors in the 77 deals, on about $1.1 billion invested. Overall, Bain recorded roughly 50% to 80% annual gains in this period, which experts said was among the best track records for buyout firms in that era.

It is false to claim that Bain bankrupted 22% of their companies. The study only looked at a sample of 77 dealings, not all the dealings. So it turns out that Bain made billions of bankruptcies within the 77 businesses that WSJ examined?

Well that isn't true either. The actual analysis from WSJ found that from the 77 companies they examined, Bain made billions from all of them, the successes and failures. Thinkprogress snipped the quote to make it sound like Bain made billions off the of bankruptcies. Not true. How could that be true? Thinkprogress claims that Bain would "invest in companies, leverage them up with debt, and then sell them off for scrap, allowing Bain’s investors to walk away with huge profits." But how is that possible? How could you buy a company in trouble, load them up with debt, and then sell them off for profit? Who would be stupid enough to buy those companies? Besides the federal government of course...

Bain's business was is solving companies that were in trouble. Sometimes the companies were in so much trouble that they had to declare bankruptcy up to 8 years after Bain took them on. Sometimes they had to slim expenditures by laying people off. Sometimes they had to go belly up and cut their losses.

Bankruptcy is a step that many companies in trouble do. It is shocking to me that only 22% took that step. Of course they laid people off. Most companies in trouble need to let people go in order to get back on track. That's how the world works. It is shocking that more people didn't have to get laid off. Hopefully Romney lays off a lot of people in Washington. Hopefully he cuts a lot of the bureaucracy.

McCain Backstabs Mitt Romney

2012-01-06T20:20:00.000-08:00

John McCain, fresh from his handing Obama dictatorial powers to arrest American citizens without trial, endorsed Mitt Romney. After all, Romney graciously supported McCain when he won the nomination in 2008. One of the rules of politics is to "dance with the one who brung you," as Chris Matthews once said. It's just "stupid" not to, as McCain put it. But Rick Perry and Rick Santorum backstabbed Romney, so why not McCain?

He is. McCain is backstabbing Romney. It wasn't hard to detect the anger in his voice. It was just painful to watch McCain dryly mock Romney for just barely winning Iowa. Then McCain said Romney sells out to earmarks. Then McCain called Romney "President Obama." Quite the endorsement...

Is McCain this stupid or is he a Trojan horse? Clearly McCain is a backstabbing Trojan horse. It was foolish of Romney to accept his endorsement. Romney can't trust any liberal.

Romney Support Skyrockets... Media Ignores Poll Numbers

2012-01-05T11:46:00.000-08:00

The 25% ceiling was shattered recently, but the media won't report it.

27% is Gallup's latest for Mitt Romney, with Rick Santorum only at 11%. Woah, you wouldn't know that from watching Fox News!

29% is Rasmussen's latest, with Rick Santorum at 21%.

I haven't seen a single media report these stunning numbers. They are all following their instructions "not to pay attention to the pundit or the polls."

Mitt Romney's Support Among Non-Evangelical Christians Surges

2012-01-04T15:25:00.000-08:00

Mitt Romney received almost exactly the same number of votes in Iowa as he did in 2008, 6 less in fact. While Fox News attempts to spin this as a loss, consider that Romney had only 14% of evangelical Christians support him this time. That's a third less than in 2008.

Let's do some quick math. That means the rest of Iowa, the non-bigoted type, supported Romney much more than they did in 2008. Are the other early states less radical Christian or more radical Christian than Iowa? hmmmmm It is interesting to note that in 2008 the evangelical bigots had a charismatic preacher to vote for and this time they had... whoever wasn't Romney, yet this time they supported the other guy even more.

Why is that? Of course the media spins, spins, spins it away....

Associated Press's Plan Is To Mormon-Bash Mitt Romney

2012-01-02T10:01:00.000-08:00

A leaked memo from managing Editor Mike Oreskes recently urged a "new distinctiveness" within the Associated Press.

"...journalism that’s more analytical, maybe a fresh and immediate entry point, a move away from text, a multimedia mashup or a different story form that speaks more directly to users.

More than ever, we need to infuse that sensibility into our daily process of news and planning. We need to institutionalize it....

We’re going to be pushing hard on journalism with voice, with context, with more interpretation. This does not mean that we’re sacrificing any of our deep commitment to unbiased, fair journalism. It does not mean that we’re venturing into opinion, either. It does mean that we need to be looking for ways to be more distinctive and stand out in the field — something our customers need and want. The why and the how of the news are as crucial as the who, what, when and where."

More spin, spin more uniform, and spin more infused with facts. A recent attack piece on Romney reveals a coordinated and well-planned strategy for determining people's opinions.

Titled "Romney tries to come across as man of the people,” AP portrays Romney as an out-of-touch elitist.

"Mitt Romney reminisced before a noontime crowd about the long car trips his family took when he was a boy. ‘My dad made Ramblers, so we had one,’ the Republican presidential hopeful said... In fact, Romney’s father didn’t just make cars. He was chairman and president of American Motors, the company that made Ramblers, and a highly successful businessman before he entered politics. It’s a detail the son omitted as he sought to establish a bond with Iowans he hopes will support him in next week’s presidential caucuses....

As he stood at the cash register at a Concord, N.H., toy store, picking up a few gifts for charity, a patron asked him what he gave his family for Christmas. Earlier in the day, he had bought his wife a $285 North Face jacket as a gift, he said…For his sons? ‘We sent them checks,’ said Romney, a multimillionaire. ‘Cash is always good’."

AP makes him seem too smart for common people and full of theoretical nonsense, devoid of sympathy for the poor.

"Sometimes it’s counter-intuitive,’ replied Romney, a former businessman, explaining that businesses often invent new, more efficient ways to compete... The term is called productivity. Output per person,’ he said. ‘Our productivity equals our income’....

When one retired firefighter in New Hampshire said he was drawing a reduced Social Security check because he also had a state pension, the former Massachusetts governor was less than sympathetic. ‘If there’s a competition for who will give you the most free stuff, go vote for that guy.’ When the man said he wasn’t asking for any handouts, Romney said, ‘You knew what you were getting into. … I wish you well, but I’m not going to promise you more bucks’.”

Finally, the Associated Press stick with Mormon bashing. Associated Press uses an appalling bit of fierce sarcasm here. They laugh that Romney "isn't always distant" because he once used a medieval toilet while he was a weird Mormon missionary in Europe:

"He’s not always distant. At an earlier stop in New Hampshire, Romney explained how he lived on a careful budget as a Mormon missionary, using crude toilets and living in modest apartments. He also talked about his time as a lay pastor in Boston’s Mormon church, when he says he counseled struggling families."

Fair and balanced? Never has been, never will be. Romney needs to give Associated Press one of these smack-downs:

Salem Communications Steps Up Attacks On Mormon Mitt Romney

2011-12-28T07:56:00.000-08:00

Town Hall stepped up attacks on Mitt Romney's religion recently, with an article slamming his electibility citing his Mormon faith. Hot Air, also owned by Salem, promoted the article in a blog post.

"This is a sensitive topic; so I am going to handle it much, much more gently than Hollywood and the mainstream media will if Mitt gets the nomination. Mormons do believe in Jesus Christ, the Mormon Church does a lot of good work, the ones I've met seem to be good people, and two of my best friends are Mormons. That being said, Mormons are not considered to be a mainstream Christian religion in large swathes of the country. There will be Protestants who will have deep reservations about voting a Mormon into the White House because they'll be afraid it will help promote what they believe to be a false religion. There have also been a number of polls that show that significant numbers of Americans won't vote for a Mormon as President.

Just look at a couple of the more recent polls and consider how much of an impact this issue could have in a close election.

The poll found 67 percent of Americans want the president to be Christian and 52 percent said they consider Mormons to be Christian. Twenty-two percent of those polled said they don't think Mormons are Christians and 26 percent are unsure. "I do believe they are moral people, but again there is a difference between being moral and being saved," Linda Dameron, an evangelical Republican in Independence, Mo., told the Tribune.

More than 40 percent of Americans would be uncomfortable with a Mormon as president, according to a new survey that also suggests that as more white evangelical voters have learned White House hopeful Mitt Romney is Mormon, the less they like him.

A survey by the Public Religion Research Institute released late Monday also shows that nearly half of white evangelical Protestant voters — a key demographic in the Republican primary race — don’t believe that Mormonism is a Christian faith, and about two-thirds of adults say the LDS faith is somewhat or very different than their own.

You should also keep in mind that if Mitt Romney gets the nomination, Hollywood and the mainstream media will conduct a vicious, months’ long hate campaign against the Mormon Church. They will take every opportunity to make Mormons look weird, racist, kooky, scary, and different. Would this be a decisive factor? I'd like to say no, but by the time all is said and done, it's very easy to see Romney potentially losing hundreds of thousands of votes across the country because of his religion."

Salem Communications is a Christian media network that urges boycotts of Mormons and spreads hate of Mormon political figures.

Gingrich Gets Disqualified From Virginia... Fox News, Drudgereport Ignores

2011-12-24T12:55:00.001-08:00

UPDATE: Fox News parrots Gingrich's sad hissy fit, saying that Virginia's "failed system" is to blame. Drudgereport finally put the story halfway down the page all the way on the right side...

A Fox News panel blasted Newt Gingrich for failing to make his home state's ballot, a significant indication that his campaign is faltering. But you won't find this story on the Fox News website. The only Fox story online is a local Fox news report that repeats Gingrich's whiny defense that Virginia has a failed system. Always blaming others.

Fox News does report that Perry was disqualified, but no mention of Gingrich.

Drudgereport also conspicuously ignores this explosive story. Drudge's top story is about a stampede at some local store for shoes.

Iowa Conservative Radio Steps Up Attacks On Mormons

2011-12-23T09:18:00.000-08:00

Iowa's leader in talk radio and the conservative movement, Steve Deace, has joined the crusade against Mormonism that we see in other 'conservative' media, like Fox News, Free Republic, and Salem Communications. He recently devoted a few hours of his show to calling Mormons un-Christian and "revealing" the "ugly truths" of Mormonism. Deace broadcasts on Clear Channel Radio.

""We are no longer a Christian nation," Deace plays Obama saying, before switching to Romney talking about supporting gun laws, a woman's right to choose, and the Boy Scouts being open to people of all sexual orientations.

The implication is clear: Romney is no Reagan; he is an Obama-light. And the Mormon candidate may not even be a Christian...

I met with Deace at his home in West Des Moines in December, and he did not mince words when it came to Romney. "I would need to hear the audible voice of God telling me to vote for Mitt Romney," he said of what it would take for the episodic GOP front-runner to win his vote.

Deace said he'd be "fine" with any of three Republican candidates: Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, or Ron Paul. He said he was "intrigued" by Newt Gingrich and "interested in hearing more" from Rick Perry, as well. Last cycle, Deace backed Mike Huckabee, who went on to win the Iowa caucuses... He quotes the bible regularly. He is absolutely certain that he holds the key to "the truth." And, perhaps most scary for would-be presidents, he knows a lot about what matters most to conservative voters in Iowa." -theatlantic.com

CLARIFICATION- Steve Deace is a radio host for a Salem Communications division, and is only syndicated by Clear Channel. Salem Communications seems to have a coordinated campaign of religious bigotry against Mormons.

Reuters Falsely Reports Romney Interviewed On 'Liberal' Show

2011-12-20T12:11:00.000-08:00

(Reuters) - "Presidential candidate Mitt Romney unloaded on rival Republican Newt Gingrich on Tuesday on a liberal television network, comparing him to former candidate Herman Cain and others who have led the field briefly before flaming out."

Since when was Morning Joe a liberal show?? Pretty sure Joe Scarborough is a life-long Republican, even if MSNBC is often liberal. Reuters simply wants to portray a false conflict of interest when Romney says "Gingrich sided with liberals" much of his life.

Fox News Switches Obama With Mitt Romney Photo In Poll

2011-12-15T10:03:00.000-08:00

Wow. That's just cold. Fox News previously lied about Mormon baptism and spread Mormon conspiracy theories about Mitt Romney. They are doing all they can to tear Romney down, including using an outdated poll that falsely shows Gingrich leading Iowa. Recent polls show him in second or third.

2011-12-14T20:48:00.000-08:00

Obama may have spent his childhood in a Muslim country, but CBS and the DNC is outraged that Mitt performed community service in France:

Mitt Romney happens to speak French. Fluently. Because he lived in France, where he was a Mormon missionary in the 1960's.

But, points out CBS News national correspondent Chip Reid, speaking French apparently isn't a plus when you're running for president.

An ad out this week that shows Romney speaking French ten years ago.

It was paid for by a Democratic political action committee, in the hope that Republican primary voters will see Romney as "too French."

NewsMax Hires Disgraced Anti-American Journalist For Trump's GOP Debate

2011-12-05T11:52:00.000-08:00

Michelle Malkin found that News Max got Eason Jordan to star in the Donald Trump GOP debate. Who is he?

"Former CNN head Eason Jordan is the disgraced journalist who admitted in a 2003 New York Times op-ed piece titled “The News We Kept to Ourselves” that he deliberately and intentionally whitewashed Saddam Hussein’s atrocities and regurgitated Hussein propaganda for a decade in exchange for access. Let me underscore that: In 2003, after the U.S.-led Coalition invasion of Iraq and the fall of Saddam Hussein, Jordan confessed that CNN had deliberately reported Baathist propaganda during the Saddam era because it was more urgent to keep their Baghdad bureaus than to tell the truth about that brutal regime.

Former CNN head Eason Jordan is the disgraced journalist who suggested our U.S. troops were wantonly targeting journalists for murder at the 2005 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Here’s a refresher on the scandal and a reminder that, as reported on this blog, none other than Democrat Rep. Barney Frank, liberal political commentator David Gergen, and former Democrat Sen. Chris Dodd all confirmed/condemned the slander. He resigned from CNN in February 2005 as a result of the blowback.

Former CNN head Eason Jordan is the disgraced journalist who showered gifts on North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il and heaped praise on Fidel Castro for inspiring the creation of CNN International." (michellemalkin.com)

Who is the only person to accept the invitation to this debate? Newt Gingrich.

ABC News Advocates Punching Children Who Say 'Gay'

Dem Ad to Feature Newt Gingrich Attacking Republicans

2011-11-29T11:48:00.000-08:00

So-called conservatives are committing suicide by supporting this guy.

US News- "By the time they’re done with him, GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will look like a leading Democratic spokesman as the party moves quickly to harness his attacks on Republican plans to change Medicare. According to party sources, they plan to use Gingrich’s assault on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s plan in a bid to knock down every Republican who voted for it.

“By calling Paul Ryan’s budget ‘radical’ and ‘right-wing social engineering,’ Newt merely echoed criticisms millions of Americans across the political spectrum have voiced at house Republicans’ budget for weeks now,” says Ryan Rudominer, a Democratic consultant and former spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “So while Gingrich may now have as good a chance as me of winning the Republican nomination, those of us on the left can at least be thankful that he made Paul Ryan’s ‘radical’ budget to gut Medicare and provide billions in tax breaks for big oil companies the new litmus test in the Republican Party,” adds Rudominer.

Groups like DCCC, the Democratic National Committee and the House Majority PAC are looking at ways to use ads and Internet campaigns to warn voters that the Ryan plan the GOP favors is so bad that even conservative Gingrich, the former House speaker, hates it."

Gingrich later apologized for his remarks. But this is just one tiny instance of Gingrich's penchant for destroying the Republican Party. He has done more than anyone to tear apart conservatives- more than John McCain.

Newt Gingrich Flip-Flops Against Amnesty... Again

2011-11-26T10:23:00.000-08:00

Top headline at HotAir.com, they mistakenly attribute NBC for the story. It is actually liberal MSNBC who flies to Gingrich's defense. They claim that his position has been consistently against amnesty this whole time.

The "conservative" and liberal media actually want you to believe that.

"I am not for amnesty for anyone. I am not for a path to citizenship for anybody who got here illegally,"

Flippity flop.

Newt Gingrich Blatantly Lies About Romney's Illegal Alien Position... Media Ignores

2011-11-24T11:03:00.001-08:00

Gingrich famously called for Amnesty for illegals at the last debate. Gingrich figures that if he courts the illegal aliens early, like GWB, the forgiving conservatives in all their senseless hatred for Romney will forgive him. When his conservative rivals pounced on him for it, Gingrich was ready with a slimy ad hominem tu quogue. He released a snippet of a quote of Romney apparently calling for amnesty.

But here is the entire quote:

"My own view is, consistent with what you saw in the Lowell Sun, that those people who had come here illegally and are in this country, the 12 million or so that are here illegally, should be able to sign up for permanent residency or citizenship, but they should not be given a special pathway, a special guarantee that all of them get to stay here for the rest of their lives merely by virtue of having come here illegally, and that, I think, is the great flaw in the final bill that came forward from the Senate."

Romney's position has not changed. Neither has Newt's. Newt has always been for illegal alien rights. With this kind of under-handed attacks from Newt, can we assume that he was behind the Cain attacks? You should always suspect the guy who is smiling the most.

Of course the liberal media, and Rush Limbaugh, propagates Newt's slimy lies. Birds of a feather.

New Climategate E-mails Leaked

2011-11-22T09:49:00.001-08:00

Whistleblower Foia.org leaked a new batch of climategate.org emails dating back as far as 1995. According to sources, there are another million emails in that batch filed waiting to have their passwords cracked, and 5,000 ready to read. This is believed to be the same whistleblower who leaked the infamous Climategate emails, and it comes almost exactly 2 years after the original leak.

BBC and the rest of the liberal media is already putting on the spin. No mention of "hide the decline" in BBC's short report, but instead at least 4 repeated denials that there was any fraud found in the originally leaked emails. And of course no quotes of any emails leaked this time around. BBC has £15,000 in ties to the climate scandal university itself.

Associated Press reports solely on the university's statement about the "stolen emails", with an incredibly biased report. I would expect no less! Media Matters and Think Progress is telling the press to investigate rigorously before they report anything. Here are some of the first finds in these new emails, according to No Consensus:

/// The IPCC Process ///
<1939> Thorne/MetO:
Observations do not show rising temperatures throughout the tropical troposphere unless you accept one single study and approach and discount a wealth of others. This is just downright dangerous. We need to communicate the uncertainty and be honest. Phil, hopefully we can find time to discuss these further if necessary [...]
<3066> Thorne:
I also think the science is being manipulated to put a political spin on it which for all our sakes might not be too clever in the long run.
<1611> Carter:
It seems that a few people have a very strong say, and no matter how much talking goes on beforehand, the big decisions are made at the eleventh hour by a select core group.
<2884> Wigley:
Mike, The Figure you sent is very deceptive [...] there have been a number of dishonest presentations of model results by individual authors and by IPCC [...]
<4755> Overpeck:
The trick may be to decide on the main message and use that to guid[e] what’s included and what is left out.
<3456> Overpeck:
I agree w/ Susan [Solomon] that we should try to put more in the bullet about “Subsequent evidence” [...] Need to convince readers that there really has been an increase in knowledge – more evidence. What is it?
<1104> Wanner/NCCR:
In my [IPCC-TAR] review [...] I crit[i]cized [...] the Mann hockey[s]tick [...] My review was classified “unsignificant” even I inquired several times. Now the internationally well known newspaper SPIEGEL got the information about these early statements because I expressed my opinion in several talks, mainly in Germany, in 2002 and 2003. I just refused to give an exclusive interview to SPIEGEL because I will not cause damage for climate science.
<0414> Coe:
Hence the AR4 Section 2.7.1.1.2 dismissal of the ACRIM composite to be instrumental rather than solar in origin is a bit controversial. Similarly IPCC in their discussion on solar RF since the Maunder Minimum are very dependent on the paper by Wang et al (which I have been unable to access) in the decision to reduce the solar RF significantly despite the many papers to the contrary in the ISSI workshop. All this leaves the IPCC almost entirely dependent on CO2 for the explanation of current global temperatures as in Fig 2.23. since methane CFCs and aerosols are not increasing.
<2009> Briffa:
I find myself in the strange position of being very skeptical of the quality of all present reconstructions, yet sounding like a pro greenhouse zealot here!
<2775> Jones:
I too don’t see why the schemes should be symmetrical. The temperature ones certainly will not as we’re choosing the periods to show warming.
<1219> Trenberth:
[...] opposing some things said by people like Chris Landsea who has said all the stuff going on is natural variability. In addition to the 4 hurricanes hitting Florida, there has been a record number hit Japan 10?? and I saw a report saying Japanese scientists had linked this to global warming. [...] I am leaning toward the idea of getting a box on changes in hurricanes, perhaps written by a Japanese.
<0890> Jones:
We can put a note in that something will be there in the next draft, or Kevin or I will write something – it depends on whether and what we get from Japan.
<0170> Jones:
Kevin, Seems that this potential Nature paper may be worth citing, if it does say that GW is having an effect on TC activity.
<0714> Jones:
Getting people we know and trust [into IPCC] is vital – hence my comment about the tornadoes group.
<3205> Jones:
Useful ones [for IPCC] might be Baldwin, Benestad (written on the solar/cloud issue – on the right side, i.e anti-Svensmark), Bohm, Brown, Christy (will be have to involve him ?)
<4923> Stott/MetO:
My most immediate concern is to whether to leave this statement ["probably the warmest of the last millennium"] in or whether I should remove it in the anticipation that by the time of the 4th Assessment Report we’ll have withdrawn this statement – Chris Folland at least seems to think this is possible.
/// Communicating Climate Change ///
<2495> Humphrey/DEFRA:
I can’t overstate the HUGE amount of political interest in the project as a message that the Government can give on climate change to help them tell their story. They want the story to be a very strong one and don’t want to be made to look foolish.
<0813> Fox/Environment Agency:
if we loose the chance to make climate change a reality to people in the regions we will have missed a major trick in REGIS.
<4716> Adams:
Somehow we have to leave the[m] thinking OK, climate change is extremely complicated, BUT I accept the dominant view that people are affecting it, and that impacts produces risk that needs careful and urgent attention.
<1790> Lorenzoni:
I agree with the importance of extreme events as foci for public and governmental opinion [...] ‘climate change’ needs to be present in people’s daily lives. They should be reminded that it is a continuously occurring and evolving phenomenon
<3062> Jones:
We don’t really want the bullshit and optimistic stuff that Michael has written [...] We’ll have to cut out some of his stuff.
<1485> Mann:
the important thing is to make sure they’re loosing the PR battle. That’s what the site [Real Climate] is about.
<2428> Ashton/co2.org:
Having established scale and urgency, the political challenge is then to turn this from an argument about the cost of cutting emissions – bad politics – to one about the value of a stable climate – much better politics. [...] the most valuable thing to do is to tell the story about abrupt change as vividly as possible
<3332> Kelly:
the current commitments, even with some strengthening, are little different from what would have happened without a climate treaty. [...] the way to pitch the analysis is to argue that precautionary action must be taken now to protect reserves etc against the inevitable
<3655> Singer/WWF:
we as an NGO working on climate policy need such a document pretty soon for the public and for informed decision makers in order to get a) a debate started and b) in order to get into the media the context between climate extremes/desasters/costs and finally the link between weather extremes and energy
<0445> Torok/CSIRO:
[...] idea of looking at the implications of climate change for what he termed “global icons” [...] One of these suggested icons was the Great Barrier Reef [...] It also became apparent that there was always a local “reason” for the destruction – cyclones, starfish, fertilizers [...] A perception of an “unchanging” environment leads people to generate local explanations for coral loss based on transient phenomena, while not acknowledging the possibility of systematic damage from long-term climatic/environmental change [...] Such a project could do a lot to raise awareness of threats to the reef from climate change
<4141> Minns/Tyndall Centre:
In my experience, global warming freezing is already a bit of a public relations problem with the media
Kjellen:
I agree with Nick that climate change might be a better labelling than global warming
Pierrehumbert:
What kind of circulation change could lock Europe into deadly summer heat waves like that of last summer? That’s the sort of thing we need to think about.
/// The Medieval Warm Period ///
<5111> Pollack:
But it will be very difficult to make the MWP go away in Greenland.
<5039> Rahmstorf:
You chose to depict the one based on C14 solar data, which kind of stands out in Medieval times. It would be much nicer to show the version driven by Be10 solar forcing
<5096> Cook:
A growing body of evidence clearly shows [2008] that hydroclimatic variability during the putative MWP (more appropriately and inclusively called the “Medieval Climate Anomaly” or MCA period) was more regionally extreme (mainly in terms of the frequency and duration of megadroughts) than anything we have seen in the 20th century, except perhaps for the Sahel. So in certain ways the MCA period may have been more climatically extreme than in modern times.
/// The Settled Science ///
<0310> Warren:
The results for 400 ppm stabilization look odd in many cases [...] As it stands we’ll have to delete the results from the paper if it is to be published.
<1682> Wils:
[2007] What if climate change appears to be just mainly a multidecadal natural fluctuation? They’ll kill us probably [...]
<2267> Wilson:
Although I agree that GHGs are important in the 19th/20th century (especially since the 1970s), if the weighting of solar forcing was stronger in the models, surely this would diminish the significance of GHGs. [...] it seems to me that by weighting the solar irradiance more strongly in the models, then much of the 19th to mid 20th century warming can be explained from the sun alone.
<5289> Hoskins:
If the tropical near surface specific humidity over tropical land has not gone up (Fig 5) presumably that could explain why the expected amplification of the warming in the tropics with height has not really been detected.
<5315> Jenkins/MetO:
would you agree that there is no convincing evidence for kilimanjaro glacier melt being due to recent warming (let alone man-made warming)?
<2292> Jones:
[tropical glaciers] There is a small problem though with their retreat. They have retreated a lot in the last 20 years yet the MSU2LT data would suggest that temperatures haven’t increased at these levels.
<1788> Jones:
There shouldn’t be someone else at UEA with different views [from "recent extreme weather is due to global warming"] – at least not a climatologist.
<4693> Crowley:
I am not convinced that the “truth” is always worth reaching if it is at the cost of damaged personal relationships
<2967> Briffa:
Also there is much published evidence for Europe (and France in particular) of increasing net primary productivity in natural and managed woodlands that may be associated either with nitrogen or increasing CO2 or both. Contrast this with the still controversial question of large-scale acid-rain-related forest decline? To what extent is this issue now generally considered urgent, or even real?
<2733> Crowley:
Phil, thanks for your thoughts – guarantee there will be no dirty laundry in the open.
<2095> Steig:
He’s skeptical that the warming is as great as we show in East Antarctica — he thinks the “right” answer is more like our detrended results in the supplementary text. I cannot argue he is wrong.
<0953> Jones:
This will reduce the 1940-1970 cooling in NH temps. Explaining the cooling with sulphates won’t be quite as necessary.
<4944> Haimberger:
It is interesting to see the lower tropospheric warming minimum in the tropics in all three plots, which I cannot explain. I believe it is spurious but it is remarkably robust against my adjustment efforts.
<4262> Klein/LLNL:
Does anybody have an explanation why there is a relative minimum (and some negative trends) between 500 and 700 hPa? No models with significant surface warming do this
<2461> Osborn:
This is an excellent idea, Mike, IN PRINCIPLE at least. In practise, however, it raises some interesting results [...] the analysis will not likely lie near to the middle of the cloud of published series and explaining the reasons behind this etc. will obscure the message of a short EOS piece.
<4470> Norwegian Meteorological Institute:
In Norway and Spitsbergen, it is possible to explain most of the warming after the 1960s by changes in the atmospheric circulation. The warming prior to 1940 cannot be explained in this way.
/// The Urban Heat Effect ///
<4938> Jenkins/MetO:
By coincidence I also got recently a paper from Rob which says “London’s UHI has indeed become more intense since the 1960s esp during spring and summer”.
<0896> Jones:
I think the urban-related warming should be smaller than this, but I can’t think of a good way to argue this. I am hopeful of finding something in the data that makes by their Figure 3.
<0044> Rean:
[...] we found the [urban warming] effect is pretty big in the areas we analyzed. This is a little different from the result you obtained in 1990. [...] We have published a few of papers on this topic in Chinese. Unfortunately, when we sent our comments to the IPCC AR4, they were mostly rejected.
<4789> Wigley:
there are some nitpicky jerks who have criticized the Jones et al. data sets – we don’t want one of those [EPRI/California Energy Commission meeting].
Jones:
The jerk you mention was called Good(e)rich who found urban warming at all Californian sites.
<1601> Jones:
I think China is one of the few places that are affected [urban heat]. The paper shows that London and Vienna (and also New York) are not affected in the 20th century.
<2939> Jones:
[...] every effort has been made to use data that are either rural and/or where the urbanization effect has been removed as well as possible by statistical means. There are 3 groups that have done this independently (CRU, NOAA and GISS), and they end up with essentially the same results. [...] Furthermore, the oceans have warmed at a rate consistent with the land. There is no urban effect there.
/// Temperature Reconstructions ///
<1583> Wilson:
any method that incorporates all forms of uncertainty and error will undoubtedly result in reconstructions with wider error bars than we currently have. These many be more honest, but may not be too helpful for model comparison attribution studies. We need to be careful with the wording I think.
<4165> Jones:
what he [Zwiers] has done comes to a different conclusion than Caspar and Gene! I reckon this can be saved by careful wording.
<3994> Mitchell/MetO
Is the PCA approach robust? Are the results statistically significant? It seems to me that in the case of MBH the answer in each is no
<4241> Wilson:
I thought I’d play around with some randomly generated time-series and see if I could ‘reconstruct’ northern hemisphere temperatures. [...] The reconstructions clearly show a ‘hockey-stick’ trend. I guess this is precisely the phenomenon that Macintyre has been going on about.
<3373> Bradley:
I’m sure you agree–the Mann/Jones GRL paper was truly pathetic and should never have been published. I don’t want to be associated with that 2000 year “reconstruction”.
<4758> Osborn:
Because how can we be critical of Crowley for throwing out 40-years in the middle of his calibration, when we’re throwing out all post-1960 data ‘cos the MXD has a non-temperature signal in it, and also all pre-1881 or pre-1871 data ‘cos the temperature data may have a non-temperature signal in it!
<0886> Esper:
Now, you Keith complain about the way we introduced our result, while saying it is an important one. [...] the IPCC curve needs to be improved according to missing long-term declining trends/signals, which were removed (by dendrochronologists!) before Mann merged the local records together. So, why don’t you want to let the result into science?
<4369> Cook:
I am afraid that Mike is defending something that increasingly can not be defended. He is investing too much personal stuff in this and not letting the science move ahead.
<5055> Cook:
One problem is that he [Mann] will be using the RegEM method, which provides no better diagnostics (e.g. betas) than his original method. So we will still not know where his estimates are coming from.
/// Science and Religion ///
<2132> Wigley:
I heard that Zichichi has links with the Vatican. A number of other greenhouse skeptics have extreme religious views.
<4394> Houghton [MetO, IPCC co-chair]
[...] we dont take seriously enough our God-given responsibility to care for the Earth [...] 500 million people are expected to watch The Day After Tomorrow. We must pray that they pick up that message.
<0999> Hulme:
My work is as Director of the national centre for climate change research, a job which requires me to translate my Christian belief about stewardship of God’s planet into research and action.
<3653> Hulme:
He [another Met scientist] is a Christian and would talk authoritatively about the state of climate science from the sort of standpoint you are wanting.
/// Climate Models ///
<3111> Watson/UEA:
I’d agree probably 10 years away to go from weather forecasting to ~ annual scale. But the “big climate picture” includes ocean feedbacks on all time scales, carbon and other elemental cycles, etc. and it has to be several decades before that is sorted out I would think. So I would guess that it will not be models or theory, but observation that will provide the answer to the question of how the climate will change in many decades time.
<5131> Shukla/IGES:
["Future of the IPCC", 2008] It is inconceivable that policymakers will be willing to make billion-and trillion-dollar decisions for adaptation to the projected regional climate change based on models that do not even describe and simulate the processes that are the building blocks of climate variability.
<2423> Lanzante/NOAA:
While perhaps one could designate some subset of models as being poorer in a lot of areas, there probably never will be a single universally superior model or set of models. We should keep in mind that the climate system is complex, so that it is difficult, if not impossible to define a metric that captures the breath of physical processes relevant to even a narrow area of focus.
<1982> Santer:
there is no individual model that does well in all of the SST and water vapor tests we’ve applied.
<0850> Barnett:
[IPCC AR5 models] clearly, some tuning or very good luck involved. I doubt the modeling world will be able to get away with this much longer
<5066> Hegerl:
[IPCC AR5 models] So using the 20th c for tuning is just doing what some people have long suspected us of doing [...] and what the nonpublished diagram from NCAR showing correlation between aerosol forcing and sensitivity also suggested.
<4443> Jones:
Basic problem is that all models are wrong – not got enough middle and low level clouds.
<4085> Jones:
GKSS is just one model and it is a model, so there is no need for it to be correct.
/// The Cause ///
<3115> Mann:
By the way, when is Tom C going to formally publish his roughly 1500 year reconstruction??? It would help the cause to be able to refer to that reconstruction as confirming Mann and Jones, etc.
<3940> Mann:
They will (see below) allow us to provide some discussion of the synthetic example, referring to the J. Cimate paper (which should be finally accepted upon submission of the revised final draft), so that should help the cause a bit.
<0810> Mann:
I gave up on Judith Curry a while ago. I don’t know what she think’s she’s doing, but its not helping the cause
<3594> Berger:
Phil, Many thanks for your paper and congratulations for reviving the global warming.
<0121> Jones:
[on temperature data adjustments] Upshot is that their trend will increase
<4184> Jones:
[to Hansen] Keep up the good work! [...] Even though it’s been a mild winter in the UK, much of the rest of the world seems coolish – expected though given the La Nina. Roll on the next El Nino!
<5294> Schneider:
Even though I am virtually certain we shall lose on McCain-Lieberman, they are forcing Senators to go on record for for against sensible climate policy
/// Freedom of Information ///
<2440> Jones:
I’ve been told that IPCC is above national FOI Acts. One way to cover yourself and all those working in AR5 would be to delete all emails at the end of the process
<2094> Briffa:
UEA does not hold the very vast majority of mine [potentially FOIable emails] anyway which I copied onto private storage after the completion of the IPCC task.
<2459> Osborn:
Keith and I have just searched through our emails for anything containing “David Holland”. Everything we found was cc’d to you and/or Dave Palmer, which you’ll already have.
<1473> McGarvie/UEA Director of Faculty Administration:
As we are testing EIR with the other climate audit org request relating to communications with other academic colleagues, I think that we would weaken that case if we supplied the information in this case. So I would suggest that we decline this one (at the very end of the time period)
<1577> Jones:
[FOI, temperature data] Any work we have done in the past is done on the back of the research grants we get – and has to be well hidden. I’ve discussed this with the main funder (US Dept of Energy) in the past and they are happy about not releasing the original station data.

Washington Post Reporter's Wife Works For Rick Perry Campaign

2011-11-11T20:52:00.000-08:00

George Will of the Washington Times' wife works for the Rick Perry campaign, Politico reported:

Columnist George Will's wife recently signed on as an adviser to Texas governor Rick Perry, a campaign spokesman confirmed today.

Will's wife, Mari Maseng -- a former communications director to both Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole -- started working for the campaign more than a week ago and helped Perry prepare for his most recent disastrous debate performance.

George Will has been one of Romney's harshest critics with ridiculous attacks and low-blow punches. He famously called Romney a flip-flopping pretzel:

Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable; he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate. Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the Tea Party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming.

Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from “data” (although there is precious little to support Romney’s idea that in-state college tuition for children of illegal immigrants is a powerful magnet for such immigrants) and who believes elections should be about (in Dukakis’s words) “competence,” not “ideology.”

Free Republic & Red State admit they ban Romney supporters & pro-Mormonism

2011-11-01T12:27:00.000-07:00

Jim Robinson of FreeRepublic.com purged Mormons. Now he tells Politico that he is proud of his censorship of anything that doesn't tear down Mormon Mitt Romney:

I'd rather shut the place down than be involved in any effort to install abortionist/gay rights pushing RINOS like Romney or Giuliani into the White House!! Do NOT push this crap on FR. Take your business elsewhere!!...

Liberal progressives and other enemies of the constitution and or of Liberty itself are not welcome here. Accounts registered here by liberal progressives and other assorted trolls, malcontents and disruptors will be removed on sight or at the convenience of the site administrators.

Anything that remotely supports Romney or Mormonism is instantly banned. Free Republic earlier made it clear that Mormonism was the reason he promoted anti-Mormon topics that concerned Romney.

If this is not breaking news of the century, I don’t know what is. Someone needs to rewrite the bible to include Apostle Joe.

RedState.com proudly admits that they likewise purge anyone that defends Mormons from bigotry.

2011-10-28T14:55:00.001-07:00

BusinessInsider.com thinks Mormonism is an issue because most people don't know Romney is a Mormon. Huh?

SFGate.com visits a non-Mormon polygamist cult and compares it to a cartoon of Romney in his "magic underwear." But you would expect this from a newspaper that made death threats against Mormon leaders.

Radio station WHTC 1450 is owned by Clear Channel Communications. They also broadcast Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Glenn Beck. They promote an anti-Mormon's movie that claims Mormon founder Joseph Smith was a power-grabbing politician and Romney is just like him.

Religious bigotry of the week... NYT, Slate, Christian Post, DePaulia, Washington Times

2011-10-22T14:44:00.000-07:00

New York Times got some negative feedback from this over-the-top article. Some of the most hateful rhetoric yet... so naturally it was reprinted by many liberal medias:

Hotair.com headlined this article by Slate.com which demands the right to spread hatred for Mormons:

ChristianPost.com continued their crusade against Mormons. Not enough money filling local collection plates I guess:

The Kansas City Star was respectful and fair, but still, it shouldn't even be an issue:

De Paulia University likes transparency! Transparency! We need to know a candidate's religious influence, as if Romney hasn't made that clear already, and then judge him on it! I wonder how they felt about Obama's "G*d D*mn Amerikkka" close pastor of 25 years?? Nothing in their archives.

Washington Times thinks Rick Perry is entitled to attack his fellow Republicans because of religion. They also want an explanation, which Mitt Romney already gave:

HotAir.com/National Journal assumes Romney held on to CareerPolitician.com since 2007

2011-10-21T10:32:00.001-07:00

National Journal has the most laughable attack against Romney yet:

Mitt Romney's campaign proudly touted the launch of careerpolitician.com Thursday, a website attacks Texas Gov. Rick Perry's record. While the Romney campaign announced careerpolitician.com as new website, a review of the site's registration reveals that its owner in fact registered the domain name several years ago.... The intended target might have originally been Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., or even then Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., in 2007.

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air adds:

So the man criticizing Perry as a “career politician” has been holding the domain name for this particular attack for more than four years. In fact, the owner held it long before anyone thought of Perry as a potential contender. That sounds an awful lot like a man who spent the last four years running for President, does it not?

Actually the GoDaddy registration lists "Domains by Proxy, Inc." of GoDaddy as the registrant, not Mitt Romney... a company that masks the site user. Romney's campaign probably wanted to use a domain name that was already held so they got the person holding it to give it to them. The details for this registration were last updated on September 8th, the likely date of this arrangement. The site went live much later then September 8th. That is the most likely explanation. Otherwise, why did the registrant details change on September 8th? It is a huge stretch to just assume Romney had it since 2007, and an even huger stretch to cast him as a hypocrite because of it.

To top it off, Ed ignorantly suggests that Go Daddy is a porn outfit:

As more of an aside, does Romney really use GoDaddy for his website needs? Has anyone on Team Romney watched their soft-porn advertising? Way to woo the family-values vote, guys.

Hotair.com's Co-owned Sites Urge Christians To Boycott Romney Over Mormonism

2011-10-19T20:42:00.000-07:00

Hot Air blog is owned by Salem Communications, who ran a crusade of propaganda urging Christians not to vote for Mormons. Along with Hot Air's hateful propaganda, Townhall said Evangelicals shouldn't vote for Mormons. Crosswalk.com also said Evangelicals shouldn't vote for Mormons, and is also owned by Salem Communications. They also own OnePlace.com which bashed Romney's religion. Salem is one of the largest media empires in America, with 3 million readers and 96 radio stations.

Looks like the so-called conservative Christian media has the problem.

Christian Post Attacks Mormons With Increased Fury

Religious bigotry of the week... Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, Fox News, Christian Post, Daily Mail

2011-10-15T21:02:00.000-07:00

Newsmax began this week with an eye-opener, proclaiming that we need to be concerned about Romney's religion, and complaining that he hasn't addressed the issue JFK-style... which he has.

World Net Daily dug up some anti-Mormon bigot who spewed lies, and threw Romney's name in there. Michael Savage's pals:

Fox News gives bold-faced lie about Mormon baptism, pretending to be tolerant:

DailyMail gave their advice, that we should silently ban Mormons, just don't admit the real reason why:

Un-Christian Christian Post has assaulted Mormons before, but this week they began an appalling crusade, with bigoted article after article:

Rush Limbaugh Flip-Flops Against Mitt Romney

2011-10-13T21:14:00.000-07:00

In 2008:

I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that’s Romney. The three stools or the three legs of the stool are national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way.

In 2011:

The reason is simple: Romney is not a conservative. He’s not, folks. You can argue with me all day long on that, but he isn’t. What he has going for him is that he’s not Obama and that he is doing incredibly well in the debates because he’s done it a long time.

Hotair.com Throws Tantrum Against Chris Christie

2011-10-11T20:32:00.001-07:00

Chris Christie endorsed Romney and liberal Allahpundit at the blog Hot Air threw a fit.

Not long ago Allahpundit was singing Chris Christie's praise!

Pathetic.

Fox News Lies About Mormon Baptism

2011-10-09T11:52:00.001-07:00

Certainly followers of Mormonism, Latter Day Saints, would consider themselves and truly are trying to follow the teachings of Christ — Christians,” Morris said. “But here are certain unorthodox teachings within Mormonism, for example their understanding of the trinity is very different from Catholic, mainline Protestant, eastern Orthodox. They do not baptize is the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit.”

Disgusting bigotry from the un-conservative Fox News.

Instead of asking a Mormon about Mormonism, Fox invited a bigoted "Christian" extremist to spread lies about Mormon. Mormon do baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit despite the official lies spread by the Catholic church. From the Book of Mormon:

Having authority given me of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

U.S. Military Forced To Allow Gay Porn Filming... Obama Chides GOP For Dissent

2011-10-01T19:27:00.001-07:00

Gay military members recently won their right to appear in uniform in gay porn videos. Corrupt lawyers for the Navy appeals court allowed Marine Corps Sgt. Matthew W. Simmons to wear parts of his official uniform as he appeared in several Sodomy videos.

President Obama applauded such progress in "gay rights" as he attacked his Republican opponents on a campaign stop. Yahoo and Associated Press omitted the full context of his remarks:

""You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it's not politically convenient," Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization."

Wow.

Romney About Even With Perry... In Texas

2011-09-21T11:45:00.000-07:00

Romney is now polling with around the same margin against Obama, as Perry is in Perry's home state of Texas. Perry is 7% ahead of Obama and Romney is 6% ahead of Obama. Bush won Texas with 61% of the vote in 2004, and even McCain garnered 54% in 2008. With such low numbers, it looks likely that Perry would lose his home state, one of the most conservative states in the nation, in a general election. Wow.

Rick Perry 51% [45%] (45%)

Barack Obama 44% [47%] (45%)

Mitt Romney 47% [50%] (49%)

Barack Obama 41% [42%] (42%)

Ron Paul 43% [45%]

Barack Obama 42% [40%]

PPP poll. "Survey of 569 Texas voters was conducted September 15-18, 2011. The margin of error is +/- 4.1 percentage points. Party ID breakdown: 44% [44%] (42%) Republican; 36% [35%] (31%) Democrat; 20% [21%] (27%) Independent/Other. Political ideology: 26% [29%] Moderate; 26% [26%] Somewhat conservative; 23% [26%] Very conservative; 14% [13%] Somewhat liberal; 10% [6%] Very liberal.

You won't see this poll on any "conservative" blog, Fox News, or liberal media.

He is in numerous articles on gay news sites, after all, that bash the Mormon church. He pushed gay marriage in school classes. But regardless, the article doesn't have anything to do with Mormons, despite the title: Mormon Missionary Launches Orgy.com.

How Rick Perry Helps Communist China Destroy the United States

2011-09-15T20:41:00.000-07:00

Rick Perry Lied, He Got At Least $29,500 For Vaccination Corruption

2011-09-13T19:53:00.000-07:00

A simple web search reveals that Rick Perry lied when he said he only received $5,000 from drug company Merck. Perry pretended to be offended at the thought that he could be bought for so little.

Merck actually donated more than $29,000 to Perry's campaign. And then there is the $352,500 to the Republican Governors Association that they gave while he was chairman. Merck reaped huge profits for Perry's dictatorial mandate that all young girls receive dangerous vaccinations for cancer. The vaccinations turned out to be phony, like Perry.

“I'm always going to err on the side of life.” Perry's spokesman repeated this lame defense today: "What was driving the governor is protecting life." But didn't Perry also revel in the wild cheers at the Republican debate when the words "death penalty" were spoken to him? Didn't he attack all efforts to get poor people health insurance? Didn't the audience scream, "Kill them," much to his delight?

San Diego Police Cover Up 'Murder' At Obama/Liberal Donor's Mansion

2011-09-02T13:08:00.000-07:00

Rebecca Zahau was found naked, bound hand and foot, hanging from a balcony of her boyfriend Jonah Shacknai's mansion. The Asian beauty had recently upset Shacknai because his son Max from a previous marriage died while in her care.

The corrupt police for San Diego county ruled Rebecca's death a suicide. Besides the obvious reasons why it couldn't have been suicide, her sister says she spoke to her just hours before and there was no suicide note.

Jonah Shacknai is a big donor for Obama and other Democrats. His contributions:

Obama for America
Ann Kirkpatrick (D)
New Apollo Energy PAC (Obama/Soros linked)
ActBlue (Democrat)
Competitive Edge PAC (Created by Obama's bulldog Janet Napolitano (D) who has her own share of murder scandals)
Harry Mitchell (D)
Henry Waxman (D)
Jim Matheson (D)

Shaknai founded the drug company Medicis Pharmaceuticals Corp., a leader in Botox and Solodyn.

When will conservatives realize Rick Perry is a phony?? But what's really important is Mitt Romney's remodeling plans for his house! I am outraged that Mitt Romney is unconcerned about climate change science! I am furious that Romney's aide had a twitter account that he used to mock Democrats! Let's stick to the important issues! Thank you Hotair.com! Thank you Gatewaypundit, Free Republic, Weasel Zippers! Thank you all you phony hacks!

Associated Press reveals Biden's 'One-Child' gaffe is actually calculated maneuver

2011-08-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

Last week, the Associated Press proclaimed their support for China's one-child family planning policy. Associated Press falsely attributed the rise of women in China's universities to the policy. The truth is the opposite. China's family planning policy has led to the death of a disproportionately large number of females, and the number of women in China's colleges isn't really that large.

Why did Yahoo News keep this appalling article as top headline for almost a week?

To prepare Americans for the Obama administrations praise of China's one-child policy. Naturally we have Fox News defending Biden.

Drudge Report Falsely Headlines: Obama Closely Matched Against Bachmann, Paul

2011-08-22T12:16:00.000-07:00

Top Headline at Drudge: GALLUP: OBAMA 'CLOSELY MATCHED' AGAINST PAUL, BACHMANN

The actual Gallup poll numbers:

Mitt Romney: 48%
Barack Obama: 46%

Rick Perry: 47%
Barack Obama: 47%

Ron Paul: 45%
Barack Obama: 47%

Michelle Bachmann: 44%
Barack Obama: 48%

Why did Drudge omit the actual top runners against Obama, Romney and Perry? As much as I hate to admit it, Bachmann isn't all that close. Romney is the only one who could beat Obama. But the phony conservatives won't admit that!

Free Republic Excuses Rick Perry's 'Porn Problem'... Blasts Mitt Romney

2011-08-20T22:43:00.001-07:00

Rick Perry invested in porn distributors and FreeRepublic.com says it doesn't matter:

LyinLibs: "If THIS is all the Commies have got, Perry’s gonna win bigtime."

Rick Perry Gov of Texas is a pornographer?
BWAAAHAAAHAA!!!!
Good luck with that!..."

dfwgator: "Maybe we can save time and energy and just cut and paste the entire sorry thread posted a little bit earlier."

But back when Mitt Romney had ties to hotels that offered porn, a much weaker controvery, Free Republic went ballistic:

TheDon: "Marriott also sells alcohol, coffee and tea! These are also proscribed by Mormons."

Maelstorm: "I think those are fair questions. We supposedly live in a nation with a majority claiming belief in Christ. I know that many at the highest levels of corporations are religious but some where along the line there is a disconnect with the way they run their businesses."

National Journal Covers Up Rick Perry's Liberal Record in Phony 'Expose'

2011-08-16T12:06:00.000-07:00

Yahoo/National Journal claims to expose vulnerabilities with the right in Rick Perry, but instead they cover it up or ignore the issues. There is one important issue that they do bring up at the end of the article, and that is Perry's support of Al Gore. The spin:

National Journal- "Perry supported the former Tennessee senator when he ran for president in 1988. At the time, both men were different: Perry was still a Democrat (he switched parties in 1989), and Gore was known more for his defense of family values than for trumpeting the danger of climate change. As Perry put it Monday, "This was Al Gore before he invented the Internet and got to be Mr. Global Warming.""

Perry wasn't just a small supporter, he was Al Gore's campaign chairman!

Al Gore was already a strong supporter of the Global Warming fraud at the time, as Politico reports. And Perry has even acknowledged this. He flip-flopped on his previous excuse and said simply that he disagreed with Mr. Gore:

Politico- "But in fact, global warming was already a significant theme for Gore in 1987 and 1988...

Gore, then a young Tennessee senator trying to break out in a crowded Democratic field, mentioned the warming planet as one of his priorities for his presidential campaign in April 1987, according to news coverage at the time.

“He laid out a broad list of national objectives, from combating AIDS and Alzheimer's disease to curbing the ‘greenhouse effect’ — the threat to the Earth's atmosphere from the burning of oil, gas and coal,” The Los Angeles Times reported in covering Gore’s announcement. In May 1987, according to The Washington Post, his stump speeches included a call for the nation to “confront the emerging problems of the greenhouse effect and the threat to our ozone.”

Later that summer, Gore joined Republican Sen. John Chafee in calling for urgent action on climate change and the threat of coastal flooding.

Such was his reputation for green wonkery that, in a January 1988 profile in the Christian Science Monitor, an attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund said of Gore: ''I think it would be safe to say that he goes to bed at night worrying about things like stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming.''

So was all this unknown to Perry, who at the time was a Democrat trying to put Gore in the White House?

No, Perry spokesman Mark Miner said Monday. They just disagreed.

“The governor has always been a conservative and didn't agree with Al Gore on every issue, global warming being one of them,” Miner said in an email to POLITICO."

Washington Post Deceptively Labels Mainstream US Christianity: 'Nazi-Dominionism'

2011-08-15T19:28:00.000-07:00

Dominionism is a word making its ways up the liberal intellectual circles. Washington Post warns of the creeping dangers of Domonionist Christians. Wikipedia defines it:

Dominionism, in the context of politics and religion, is the tendency among some politically active conservative Christians to seek influence or control over secular civil government through political action, especially in the United States. It is also known as subjectionism.

The word Dominionism comes straight from the German word for Nazi rule. Nazi-herrschaft translates directly to "Nazi dominionism" and commonly refers to the religious aspect of Nazi rule. Many liberals have written about how Nazis supposedly pushed Christian dominion theology. Nazi dominion is the origin of this new terminology for US Christians.

That second term, subjectionism, refers to Nazi Christians subjecting the world to their culture and religion. See Der Spiegel.

Associated Press Praises One-Child Policy In China... 'Boon For Girls'

2011-08-14T09:39:00.001-07:00

It is well known that China's family planning prevents girls from being born. Girls are less help around the farm, and with only one child you need all the help you can get. So it is just common sense that Chinese would abort female babies. But the Associated Press deniesthis logic and parrots Chinese Communist propaganda in praising the liberal policy .

Yahoo/AP claims that China has so many women in college because of the one-child policy.

AP- "With no male heir competing for resources, parents have spent more on their daughters' education and well-being, a groundbreaking shift after centuries of discrimination."

Chinese abort most females, so there is actually no female heir to begin with! The real reason so many Chinese girls go to college is because the government sends them to college. The government decides who gets higher education. AP falsely attributes the higher number of women in Chinese colleges to a desire amongst Chinese to educate girls rather than boys.

AP points only to "experts" to make their ridiculous claim and falsely claims that China has had steady economic growth:

AP- "A Communist Youth League member at one of China's top science universities, she boasts enviable skills in calligraphy, piano, flute and pingpong.

Such gifted young women are increasingly common in China's cities and make up the most educated generation of women in Chinese history. Never have so many been in college or graduate school, and never has their ratio to male students been more balanced.

To thank for this, experts say, is three decades of steady Chinese economic growth, heavy government spending on education and a third, surprising, factor: the one-child policy...

"They've basically gotten everything that used to only go to the boys," said Vanessa Fong, a Harvard University professor and expert on China's family planning policy."

...By 2009, nearly half of China's full-time undergraduates were women and 47 percent of graduate students were female, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.

In India, by comparison, women make up 37.6 percent of those enrolled at institutes of higher education, according to government statistics.

AP goes on to list all the wonderful things that college girls from China get, and falsely claims that they are "purchases." The government in fact provides these things, from tax money.

AP- "Wang and many of her female classmates grew up with tutors and allowances, after-school classes and laptop computers. Though she is just one generation off the farm, she carries an iPad and a debit card, and shops for the latest fashions online.

Her purchases arrive at Tsinghua, where Wang's all-girls dorm used to be jokingly called a "Panda House," because women were so rarely seen on campus. They now make up a third of the student body, up from one-fifth a decade ago."

Wait, didn't AP just report that in India barely over a third of college students are female? That's better than the Chinese college statistic in this example!! India has more women in college than China? But then AP almost finds some sanity:

AP- "While strides have been made in reaching gender parity in education, other inequalities remain. Women remain woefully underrepresented in government, have higher suicide rates than males, often face domestic violence and workplace discrimination and by law must retire at a younger age than men...

Some, like Wang, are already changing perceptions about what women can achieve. When she dropped by her grandmother's house this spring, the local village chief came by to see her. She was a local celebrity: the first village descendent in memory to make it into Tsinghua University."

AP journalist Alexa Olessen ought to be familiar with the facts about China's female problem. After all, she reported on rising abortion rates in China. But she is unabashadly pro-Communist when it comes to China. She praised the communist significance of Tiananmen Square without a single mention of the 1989 massacre. She said "when political events are said and done" the communist symbol will always remain. She praised communist revolutiony hereos and sought to dispell "misconceptions" about them. She reported that the teachings of Communist Lei Feng "will serve as a spiritual catalyst for the building of a well-off society."

Canadian Media Falsely Labels Polygamist Pedophiles: 'Mormon'

2011-08-12T18:48:00.001-07:00

Canada.com falsely reported on the trafficking of children for sex from "the Mormon community in Bountiful, B.C., to Texas as child brides."

Canada's National Post, Postmedia News, repeated this false report that the girls were shipped from "the Mormon community in Bountiful, B.C., to Texas as child brides."

Vancouver Sun published a series of false reports linking Mormons to the breakaway cult, also repeating ths false claim that the girls were shipped from "the Mormon community in Bountiful, B.C., to Texas as child brides."

The Vancouver Sun falsely labeled it a "fundamentalist Mormon group." Vancouver Sun falsely labeled Warren Jeffs a "fundamentalist Mormon leader." Again. It's open season for religious bigotry and false reporting in Canada!

Dick Durbin Orders Media Cover-up Of Reporter Ban

2011-08-12T08:18:00.000-07:00

William Kelly breaks the story of Democratic Dick Durban expelling reporters for asking the wrong questions, and then ordering a media coverup. Breitbart's reporter asked, “Senator, you’ve blamed the tea party…but do you bear any responsibility for this downgrade crisis?”

The Chicago reporters at the press conference responded with outrage. Jim Anderson, news director for the Illinois Radio Network and unpaid member of Durbin's staff, advised Durbin not to answer and called the police. Kelly was expelled from the public event, and Durbin commanded the press: “You guys aren’t going to cover this are you?”

And the corrupt media unanimously agreed to cover it all up.

ABC, CBS Join AP With Bold-Faced Misquote From Romney: 'Corporations Are People'

2011-08-11T21:01:00.000-07:00

CBC falsely reported that average voters who were angry about the economy confronted Mitt Romney in Iowa. The truth is that the violent hecklers were organized by the Democrat group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. Only Fox News reports that fact. The media is complicit in the liberal sting operation.

ABC falsely reported that Romney's reply "corporations are people" was a sign of insincerity. They took those three words completely out of context and, like Associated Press, pretended they related to Wall street greed. Romney was actually talking about economic principles of taxes. New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, and all the rest joined in the spin.

Associated Press Misquotes Romney: 'Corporations Are People'

2011-08-11T12:22:00.000-07:00

Politico noticed a juicy soundbite from Romney's Iowa trip, as liberals violently heckled him. Liberals were upset that Romney said corporations don't pay taxes, people in the corporations do:

"...Mitt Romney's tense moments at the Iowa State Fair, including a comment that he'd probably rephrase if given the chance, that, "corporations are people, my friend!" (POLITICO's Kasie Hunt also witnessed the exchange) The argument was that money gets into people's pockets through companies, but that won't be the takeaway when it's spliced into a negative ad."

Naturally, the Associated Press jumped on this chance to quote Romney out of context and falsely associate his comment with Wall Street:

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney faced a rowdy crowd at the Iowa State Fair Thursday, with people interrupting his answers to chant "Wall Street greed" and him snapping "corporations are people, my friend."

Zero media report that the "angry voters" who heckled Romney were organized by the radical liberal Democrat group Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. Meanwhile, TIME gave a glowing interview of liberal Rick Perry, as they declared on their cover: "Tea Party has hijacked America."

'The American Conservative' agrees with Obama: Romney's Mormon religion is weird

2011-08-10T19:24:00.001-07:00

More fake conservatives

(http://www.amconmag.com) "Among some conservative Christians, there is concern that electing a Mormon would represent a form of acceptance or an endorsement of a religion that they consider to be not only not Christian but fundamentally false and misleading. For those who insist that ours is or should be a “Christian nation,” that is unacceptable.

Economic conditions may be bad enough that this will not be enough to keep Romney from winning, but if his religion would be a serious liability at other times it seems unlikely that this problem will go away now. The difficulty for Romney is that his political opponents don’t need to sow doubts. The doubts are already there, and will continue to be there whether anyone mentions them."

Obama recently formed his plan of attack on Romney, which is essentially religious bigotry. The man we elected out of tolerance and diversity clings on to power using religious bigotry?

Associated Press repeats Warren Buffet's attacks on S&P... doesn't mention S&P downgraded Buffet

2011-08-08T12:31:00.000-07:00

Liberal Warren Buffet to the rescue! He joins Obama in condemning S&P for downgrading the U.S. on our debt. That mean old S&P has things wrong, Buffet says. Well actually it turns out Buffet is just propping up his rival credit agency... And complaining that S&P downgraded his company Berkshire Hathaway.

Turns out AP's report is utter bull.

China Sells Dead Baby Pills To Increase 'Stamina'

2011-08-05T19:18:00.000-07:00

Soylant Green anyone?

(www.weirdasianews.com)- "A Korean TV documentary team went on a search for the truth behind the dead baby pill, and what they found was shocking. They tracked down a hospital that sells deceased babies, mostly abortions or still births, to medicine companies."

AP's Debt Deal Story Features Triumphant Image Of Harry Reid

2011-07-31T12:16:00.000-07:00

The Associated Press story doesn't mention Boehner at all. It's all about Harry Reid and how the Democrats finally solved the budget crisis.

Republican Mitch McConnell gets some credit as "a key player in the negotiations" but as House Speaker Boehner is up till now only been portrayed as the bad guy, it is fitting that AP completely omit him from this hopeful story. In fact, the AP image that accompanies the story on Yahoo's headline bar shows Reid defiantly swiping at a man that looks like Boehner, covering his mouth.

Democrats dealin Senate= good. Republican deal in house=bad.

Star of Anti-Mormon Musical on CBS: I thought I would get killed

2011-07-30T14:23:00.000-07:00

Josh Gad said on CBS's Early Coffee that he thought he might get killed for his ridicule of the Mormon faith: "They sent me a demo with a controversial number on it that's still in the show to this day and I said I really love Trey and Matt and Bobby but I don't want to die. ...I don't want to get shot and I fell like feel like this is intense material."

The stars of the bigoted show say they are surprised how kind Mormons have been to them.

Reuters Blames Racism For Valedictorian Drama... Ignores Teen Pregnancy

2011-07-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

Reuters, Yahoo News, and many other media falsely blame racism for a black student in Little Rock Arkansas who shared her valedictorian prize even though she allegedly got the highest GPA of the class. What they briefly brush over is her pregnancy her junior year. Not exactly the poster image of a good student. We can have the debate of whether a pregnant young girl deserves to be the sole valedictorian, but the media allegation that it "was racial motivated" is completely false.

Kymberly Wimberly is now suing in federal court because a white student got to give a speech at graduation along with her. The media encourages the sense of entitlement in our youth, hissy fits, and especially the race card when they don't get their way. And yes, her names is seriously Kymberly Wimberly.

China Police Shoot Unarmed Protesters After Deadly Beating

2011-07-27T21:26:00.000-07:00

China killed 14 rioters in recent protesters in the Muslim Xinjiang. World Uighur Congress said 20 peaceful protesters were killed.

In a more recent protest, police shot spontaneously into crowds of thousands, littering the streets with bloody bodies . Migrants were protesting in the Guizhou Province after security forces beat a handicapped fruit vendor to death.

Reports also say that police beat many protesters in this recent crackdown, including children.

MSNBC Sued For Spinning Anti-Gay-Indoctrination Remarks

2011-07-26T19:56:00.000-07:00

Patriot rock-star Bradlee Deans will sue MSNBC for $50 million because host Rachel Maddow had misconstrued his remarks and falsely portrayed them death threats. Maddow falsely said that Deans had called for the execution of gays. Judicial Watch is preparing the defamation lawsuit.

Maddow falsely quoted Deans as calling for an "upping of bloodshed":

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

“Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination... If America won’t enforce the laws, God will raise up a foreign enemy to do just that. That is what you are seeing in America.”

Here is what Dean actually said. In context, he clearly didn't promote Muslims or Christians killing gays:

Murdoch Media Defends Obama's Economy Against Romney's Ads

2011-07-23T23:22:00.000-07:00

Fox News recently called him "obviously not a Christian" and mocked his "fruity" beliefs. Now Rupert Murdoch takes aim at Mitt Romney's infamous TV ads in order to get Obama a second term as president. Wall Street Journal:

wsj.com- "Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign has released a series of ads featuring individuals who say they have suffered setbacks under President Barack Obama. But the stories aren’t as straightforward as the ads suggest...

New Hampshire economist Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research said, “The seeds of the housing downturn nationally and in New Hampshire, were planted well before the current administration took office,” citing the 2008 housing bubble burst."

Phony conservatives will go so far as to blame Bush and defend Obama so that a Mormon doesn't get the presidency?

And right on cue we have bigoted WSJ readers defending Obama by calling Romney a RINO. Here's the logic: expose Obama's destruction of the economy and that makes you a liberal flip-flopper.

"Here is the FLIP FLOPPER IN CHIEF in California yesterday attacking Obama policies for a failed factory. What the Mormon FLIP FLOPPER did not realize was that his biggest donor wrecked the company, prior to Obama taking office..."

"Why is there any surprise that the ads have a degree of falsehoods? Romney is not a Republican candidate, he is a Rino candidate. He just wants his chance to update ObamaCare and rename it to RomneyCare."

Norway Shooter railed against USA Conservatives in his published Manifesto

2011-07-23T20:12:00.000-07:00

"Anders Behring Breivik's manifesto attacked conservatives in America as leaders in America's Globalism and NWO. He thanks Barack Obama for exposing the right-wingers for what they are:

The Presidential election campaign in the USA in 2008 between Obama and McCain is a race between a left-wing and a right-wing Globalist....

It's never been at matter of choice for Europe to rely on aid from America. Since the world order installed in the wake of WWII it's been a matter of staying put and obeying to the world order. Any kind of European vitality has been suppressed under this American hegemony (see Serbia-Milosevic and Austria-Haider). You have already heard all the arguments about this from across the Atlantic: European nationalism is the root of all evil, European vitality will only lead to endless wars etc. And the American reverse of Obama is not much of a comfort. The more American nationalism grows, the more anti-European and anti-Russian it becomes. Ralph Peters is a good example.

The Europe right-wing Americans see today and disdain is wholly a creation of America herself. The leaders of Europe are nothing but marionettes of the current America-led world order. But this insight has also more and more emerged among the right-wing Americans, now that the true face of (political) America manifestly come to its closure with Obama. But aren't there all these Americans who do not at all support Obama? Yes, and they are like Ralph Peters.

The reason that we find a strong conservatism in America and not in Europe is that American conservatives are not at all conservative but liberals to the core; French Revolution egalitarians and PC addicts with fear of "racism", etc. European conservatism is of a essentially different kind, and totally unacceptable under the current world order. In the American mythology, which is the foundation for our current civilisational paradigm, the old pre-WWI Europe is the worst of the evils, much worse than Communism of fascism. After all Wilson and Roosevelt understood and respected Lenin and Stalin. It was the old (and vital!) Europe that was Satan itself in their eyes.

But these American delusions had to come to and end, and thank you Obama for executing it."

Liberals Defend Mormons Against Fox News' Anti-Mormon Bigotry

2011-07-23T15:18:00.000-07:00

Months ago liberal watch-dogs were objected to the blame on liberals that Fox News placed from anti-Mormon bigotry.

But it turns out Fox News themselves are the anti-Mormon bigots.

'Obviously Not A Christian...' Fox News Again Ridicules Mitt Romney's Religion

2011-07-23T14:46:00.000-07:00

"Fox and Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt claimed Sunday that Mitt Romney is not Christian because of his Mormon faith. Fox New and other phony conservative media will do anything to see Obama get re-elected, including outrageous bigotry. Romney is the clear front-runner, and Fox is desperate to get former Al Gore campaign chairman Rick Perry the nomination.

Earlier a Fox News affiliate and frequent guest fabricated attacks on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and mocked Mormons as "fruity." Fox deceptively presented an Anti-Mormon as an authority on the religion.

Associated Press falsely claims Romney won't find many Republicans in Portland

2011-07-10T12:00:00.000-07:00

When Obama campaigns AP calls it regaining energy. When a conservative campaigns AP calls it stumping for cash.

AP- "Mitt Romney probably won’t find a whole lot of Republican voters when he travels to Oregon’s liberal stalwart city next week. But that’s not what he’s after.

The former Massachusetts governor is stumping for cash Monday in Portland, the heavily Democratic city that has helped that party dominate just about every statewide elected office in Oregon."

A local paper in Oregon is appalled by this claim. Actually there are more Republicans in Portland than anywhere else in the state, about one-third of all Republicans in the state. Recent polls find Romney is closing in on Obama in Oregon, so doesn't it make perfect sense for him to campaign there??

U.S. Cuts $800M To Pakistan... Associated Press Doesn't Mention We Give $2 Billion

2011-07-10T11:42:00.000-07:00

AP is excited about "the termination of the $800 million in assistance" to Pakistan, the country that harbored Bin Laden all these years. AP reported that the suspended "aid" is "an attempt to increase pressure on Pakistan, but he believes it could hurt both sides."

What they fail to report is that the annual "aid" from the U.S. to Pakistan is $2 Billion. Will a measly suspension of a couple hundreds million really make any difference?

AP quoted Obama aide William Daley: "...we'll hold back some of the money that the American taxpayers are committed to give." We're committed to give???

Fox News Falsely Presents RLDS As Mainstream Mormon Authority

2011-07-09T19:42:00.000-07:00

A frequent guest at CNN, CNBC, and Fox News recently mocked Mormons in a segment about Mitt Romney. Many faux conservative blogs are scrambling to cover up the fact that Ben Ferguson is a top supporter of Sarah Palin and leader in the Republican community. The local Memphis station is an affiliate of Fox News. The bigot spoke at the GOP convention and guested on the O'Reilly Factor

They aired four segments that day. The second one presented a RLDS leader as an authority of mainstream Mormonism. He poured all kinds of false information about Mormons. The other two segments highlighted the anti-Mormon musical of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and profiled two local missionaries.

A conservative Jewish magazine defended Mormons, but falsely blamed Democrats.

Fox News Mocks Mormon Romney's "Fruity" Beliefs

2011-07-08T20:14:00.000-07:00

The same Fox affiliate spreads lies about Mormonism in other segments as well. Religion Dispatches reports on an outrageous piece of bigotry from a local Fox affiliate in Memphis:

"As part of a four-segment series on Mormonism, Ferguson developed a rambling, virtually content-free six-minute segment featuring man-on-the street interviews with local Memphis residents about, well, how very "fruity" Mormonism is.

(There are 45,000 Mormons in Tennessee, about .7% of the population. Mormons left the state en masse in the 1880s due to anti-Mormon violence.)

"Can you name the candidate who is running for president who believes that if he is a good person, he will get his own planet?" Ferguson goaded.

Five or six Memphis citizens shake their heads, chuckling, rolling their eyes. One woman darts from the camera.

"It's not Mitt Romney is it?" asks a man in a blue shirt with a ponytail.

"It is Mitt Romney," intones Ferguson, aping and goofing, "it is."

"Would you vote for someone for president who believes that if they are a good person, you will get their own planet?" Ferguson continues, "You want your own planet, don't you?"" -(www.religiondispatches.org)

This bigoted bafoon Ben Ferguson is a frequent guest on Fox News, CNBC, and CNN. (full video here). I knocked Joanna Brooks in the past, but I have to give her props for reporting this. The whole planet thing is one of many lies that anti-Mormons push. More lies from Fox News:

Associated Press assumes guilt of 'rapist' Iraq contractor that was ruled innocent

2011-07-08T19:49:00.000-07:00

A jury ruled that Iraq contractor KBR Inc. was innocent of liability in the alleged rape of Jamie Leigh Jones. Liberals were excited for the case because it involved KBR's parent company Halliburton Co. Notice the subtle language AP injects when they compare Jones' allegations with KBR's defense. AP starts with Jones' allegations:

""I was going up against a monster," Jones, sobbing loudly, told The Associated Press. "I'm devastated. I believe I did the right thing coming forward."...

Jones said the civil trial wasn't a fair fight. She said she felt she lost because the jury wasn't allowed to hear details of her attacker's past but were allowed to hear hers. Bortz said the sex was consensual.

Jones said she believed her bruises and the description of the rape would have swayed jurors.

"I just thought that the physical evidence would help. I guess the fact that my entire life was on display and (his) wasn't" made a difference, Jones said.

Attorney Ron Estefan, in his closing arguments, accused KBR of neglecting to enforce its policies against sexual harassment for years by its contract workers in Iraq. The neglect facilitated Jones' rape, he said....

Jones, who had been a clerical worker in Baghdad's Green Zone, testified that she was drugged and then raped by a group of KBR firefighters. She said Bortz was in her room the next morning. During four days on the stand, she told jurors she has no memory of what happened because she believed she was drugged with Rohypnol, known as the "date rape drug," just before she was sexually assaulted....

Jones also accused KBR officials of locking her in a trailer after she told them about the rape and not letting her call her family. She testified she's been treated for post-traumatic stress disorder, takes medications for anxiety and had to have reconstructive surgery for her breasts, which were disfigured in her attack."

But when reporting the company's defense, AP doesn't state "he said..." AP states "he tried to portray..." This inserts doubt into what the company is saying. AP gives them much less space in the article as well. Very deceitful reporting from the Associated Press:

Bortz's attorney tried to show that after the alleged rape, Jones did not appear to act like she had been attacked but instead went to work as normal, joked around and talked about camp gossip. Bortz no longer works for KBR.

Joanne Vorpahl, one of KBR's attorneys, tried to portray Jones to jurors as someone with a history of being dishonest on resumes and job applications, including not disclosing in a medical questionnaire she filled out before leaving for Iraq that she had been treated in prior years for various things, including depression, dizziness and kidney and bladder problems. Jones said those were simply mistakes and she never intended to be dishonest.

AP repeats her allegations of bruises and lacerations, and that her breasts were disfigured in the alleged attack, but it sounds like she could only testify of this. Were there photos? Receipts of the surgery, proof that she didn't just go out and get fake boobs? AP doesn't say.

Associated Press pushes Lie that illegal immigrant's execution broke human rights law

2011-07-08T14:12:00.000-07:00

Associated Press covered up the fact that illegal immigrant Humberto Leal had been in America for 36 years and allegedly provided counterfeit ids to police. Police thought he was a US citizen. President Obama and other anti-constitutionalists complained that interntional law was broken because Leal wasn't told early on that he could talk to the Mexican consulate while in custody. Again, today AP complained the Texas didn't follow international law, using the false premise that Leal was denied his right.

Fact is, they couldn't tell Leal of his right because Leal fraudulently pretended to be a US citizen.

Leal brutally raped and murdered a young girl and awaited execution for 13 years. He shouted "Viva Mexico" as they flipped the switch.

Associated Press falsely complains that executed illegal immigrant was denied help

2011-07-07T19:59:00.000-07:00

Humberto Leal was executed in Texas despite screaming from the liberal media that the police didn't inform him early enough of his rights to talk to the Mexican consulate. The Associated Press complains that the illegal immigrant was "denied help from his home country." Well that's not true. Child-rapist Humberto Leal was simply not informed of whom he could talk to under international treaties. They didn't actually deny any of his requests.

Did the police know that Leal was an illegal alien?? No. Leal produced an American drivers license and claimed to be a citizen of the US. He had been in America for 36 years, so he walked, talked, and acted like an American. AP covers up all these facts. One minute AP is screaming that police shouldn't be allowed to check immigration status, and the next they just assume that the police know if someone is an illegal alien.

But AP does gleefully report that Leal's distant relatives burned American flags in protest!

In 2008, President Bush attempted to stop this execution, and others. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government can't force states to comply with ICJ laws. President Obama also recently tried to stop the execution and was again denied by the Supreme Court.

The details of Leal's murder are incredibly gruesome. AP glosses over the details, the "30- to 40-pound asphalt rock roughly twice the size of the victim's skull lying partially on the victim's left arm." ... the "bloody and broken" stick protruding from the young girl's vagina.

Much of AP's phony article is devoted to complaints from Leal's friends and Mexican supremacists. Just one tiny quote from the victim's mother at the end.

Paramount Drops 'America' from Captain America movie Overseas

2011-07-06T07:39:00.000-07:00

Paramount Pictures has taken "Captain America" out of the title of its latest movie in several countries abroad, including Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea. Associated Press spins this story with a headline that cheers them for the decision: 'Captain America' keeps full name in most of world.

Paramount is owned by Viacom, which is known for its hateful and unAmerican propaganda through its media arms, including Comedy Central, MTV, and Paramount. It will be interesting to see how they bash American in this movie.

Media Lies To Defend Obama Against Romney Criticism

2011-07-05T17:52:00.000-07:00

The media is in full-speed defense mode as they claim Romney made "inaccurate charges" about Obama. Liberals make the incredulous claim that Obama made the economy better, but stats prove that he made the economy worse. Recoveries should have a 9.9% GDP gain but the last 13 quarters saw only a 0.8% gain. The unemployment rate has doubled and the deficit has tripled. Stimulus spending did not have a direct effect on GDP gains.

Hotair.com and other secretly liberal blogs that proclaim the be conservative join in the defense by making the false claim that Romney flip-flopped about his attacks.

Are Mormons are the best Republicans can do? ... says Las Vegas Review-Journal

2011-07-04T12:00:00.000-07:00

At the risk of a malicious lawsuit from Stephens Media, I'll go ahead and quote their appalling religious bigotry:

"How shall I put this? How about straight-out?

The field of Republican presidential candidates is so uncommonly weak that its two best general election prospects are Mormons.

Now that is what you call some serious irony....

This is less about the nation's emerging religious tolerance -- the nation has no emerging religious tolerance -- than about the kook-right takeover of the contemporary Republican Party....

Romney has a viable mainstream record as a businessman and as a moderate Republican governor of Massachusetts. He is a chronic flip-flopper, said by some recently clever wag to be unafraid of taking every position on every issue over time." (http://www.lvrj.com)

This outrageous bigotry from journalist John Brummett falls right in line with the Nazi rhetoric we see from faux conservatives. They claim they hate Romney because he is a "chronic flip-flopper" but it is quickly evident that they simply hate Mormons. And it's not because of politically ideological reasons. Harry Reid is in Nevada after all and he is radical liberal. People like John Brummett of the Las Vegas Review-Journal simply hate Mormons.

Large Deposit Of Rare Earth Minerals Found In USA

2011-07-04T10:12:00.000-07:00

Here's some good Independence Day news! China has slowly been raising prices on rare earth metals around the world. China exports 97% of the vitals metals, which are used in many electronics. Well now China can screw themselves because Japanese scientists found a vast deposits of the minerals off the Hawaii coast. They estimate it could fulfill a fifth of the world supply. How will China play this?

How similar are Hollywood's new films? Pretty freakin similar...

Two raunchy recent films, 'Friends With Benefits' vs. 'No Strings Attached', have the same lines, the same plot, even the same camera angles. From BlindFilmCritic:
