What Liberal Media Bias?
Depart from the Obamedia narrative and you’re fired.
So just exactly what kind of sacrilege was it that veteran ABC anchorman Doug McKelway committed on air? Reporting on a left-wing protest during the Gulf Oil Crisis, he said:
the sparsely attended event attracted protesters “largely representing far-left environmental groups.” [He cited Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth.]
And Greenpiss and Fiends of the Earth aren’t far-left environMENTAL groups?
He went on to say the protest “may be a risky strategy because the one man who has more campaign contributions from BP than anybody else in history is now sitting in the Oval Office, President Barack Obama, who accepted $77,051 in campaign contributions from BP.”
And that isn’t factually correct how, exactly?
McKelway added that the Senate was unlikely to pass “cap-and-trade” legislation this year, because “the Democrats are looking at the potential for huge losses in Congress come the midterm elections. And the last thing they want to do is propose a huge escalation in your electric bill, your utility bill, before then.”
So, this kneecap’n trade bill… How’s the passage of that working out for you, Democrat Socialists? Oh dear, McKelway was caught doing something that, in times long gone by, was referred to as “reporting.”
Can’t have that.
And don’t get started on how ABC are perfectly within their rights to fire whomever they please, because they quite obviously are, being a private enterprise and all that. That’s not the point. Just don’t ever again start bleating about how there’s “no liberal bias” in the Obamedia, because we’re pretty certain that, had McKelway said something similar about Dubya back in the day, his job wouldn’t have been in any danger.
Just ask Keith “Bathtub Boy” Olberdouche.
Thatisall.

I hope McKelway sues the shite out of them. Amazing how revolutionary it is to speak real truth to real power.
In a similar vein, I had to post this from Julia Gorin’s latest post on the true nature of Islam (in the Jewish World Review online). She makes the case that this ‘religion,’ which the Leftwankers in the media constantly lie about and apologize for, is a “get out of hell free” card for criminals and sadists of all stripes.
Case in point: the Leftwanker Media lied about the Christian Serbs like mother-effers, demonizing the Christians and lionising the muzzies (natch). Just look at this:
Mention of their sadistic and evil acts in the Leftwanker Media? ZERO.
Long post but worth the read. Not my origination, but again, must read material.
She gave this at Duke University also. In today’s world, this has to be considered .
EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO READ THIS!
Editor’s Note: Below are selected excerpts from Brigitte Gabriel’s speech delivered at the Intelligence Summit in Washington , D.C..
We gather here today to share information and knowledge. Intelligence is not merely cold hard data about numerical strength or armament or disposition of military forces. The most important element of intelligence has to be understanding the mindset and intention of the enemy. The West has been wallowing in a state of ignorance and denial for thirty years as Muslim extremist perpetrated evil against innocent victims in the name of Allah.
I was ten years old when my home exploded around me, burying me under the rubble and leaving me to drink my blood to survive, as the perpetrators shouted, ‘Allah Akbar!’ My only crime was that I was a Christian living in a Christian town. At 10 years old, I learned the meaning of the word ‘infidel.’
I had a crash course in survival. Not in the Girl Scouts, but in a bomb shelter where I lived for seven years in pitch darkness, freezing cold, drinking stale water and eating grass to live. At the age of 13, dressed in my burial clothes going to bed at night, waiting to be slaughtered. By the age of 20, I had buried most of my friends–killed by Muslims. We were not Americans living in New York , or Britons in London . We were Arab Christians living in Lebanon .
As a victim of Islamic terror, I was amazed when I saw Americans waking up on September 12, 2001, and asking themselves ‘Why do they hate us?’ The psychoanalyst experts were coming up with all sort of excuses as to what did we do to offend the Muslim World. But if America and the West were paying attention to the Middle East they would not have had to ask the question. Simply put, they hate us because we are defined in their eyes by one simple word: ‘infidels.’
Under the banner of Islam ‘la, ilaha illa Allah, muhammad
rasoulu Allah,’ (None is god except Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) they murdered Jewish children in Israel, massacred Christians in Lebanon, killed Copts in Egypt, Assyrians in Syria, Hindus in India, and expelled almost 900,000 Jews from Muslim lands. We Middle Eastern infidels paid the price then. Now infidels worldwide are paying the price for indifference and shortsightedness.
Tolerating evil is a crime. Appeasing murderers doesn’t buy protection. It earns one disrespect and loathing in the enemy’s eyes. Yet apathy is the weapon by which the West is committing suicide. Political correctness forms the shackles around our ankles, by which Islamist’s are leading us to our demise.
America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam. You hear about Cahaba and Salafi Islam as the only extreme form of Islam. All the other Muslims, supposedly, are wonderful moderates. Closer to the truth are the pictures of the irrational eruption of violence in reaction to the cartoons of Mohammed printed by a Danish newspaper. From burning embassies, to calls to butcher those who mock Islam, to warnings that the West be prepared for another holocaust, those pictures have given us a glimpse into the real face of the enemy. News pictures and video of these events represent a canvas of hate decorated by different nationalities who share one common ideology of hate, bigotry and intolerance derived from one source: authentic Islam. An Islam that is awakening from centuries of slumber to re-ignite its wrath against the infidel and dominate the world. An Islam which has declared ‘Intifada’ on the West.
America and the West can no longer afford to lay in their lazy state of overweight ignorance. The consequences of this mental disease are starting to attack the body, and if they don’t take the necessary steps now to control it, death will be knocking soon. If you want to understand the nature of the enemy we face, visualize a tapestry of snakes. They slither and they hiss, and they would eat each other alive, but they will unite in a hideous mass to achieve their common goal of imposing Islam on the world.
This is the ugly face of the enemy we are fighting. We are fighting a powerful ideology that is capable of altering basic human instincts. An ideology that can turn a mother into a launching pad of death. A perfect example is a recently elected Hamas official in the Palestinian Territories who raves in heavenly joy about sending her three sons to death and offering the ones who are still alive for the cause. It is an ideology that is capable of offering highly educated individuals such as doctors and lawyers far more joy in attaining death than any respect and stature life in society is ever capable of giving them.
The United States has been a prime target for radical Islamic hatred and terror. Every Friday, mosques in the Middle East ring with shrill prayers and monotonous chants calling death, destruction and damnation down on America and its people. The radical Islamist deeds have been as vile as their words. Since the Iran hostage crisis, more than three thousand Americans have died in a terror campaign almost unprecedented in its calculated cruelty along with thousands of other citizens worldwide. Even the Nazis did not turn their own children into human bombs, and then rejoice at their deaths as well the deaths of their victims. This intentional, indiscriminate and wholesale murder of innocent American citizens is justified and glorified in the name of Islam.
America cannot effectively defend itself in this war unless and until the American people understand the nature of the enemy that we face. Even after 9/11 there are those who say that we must engage our terrorist enemies, that we must address their grievances. Their grievance is our freedom of religion. Their grievance is our freedom of speech. Their grievance is our democratic process where the rule of law comes from the voices of many not that of just one prophet. It is the respect we instill in our children towards all religions. It is the equality we grant each other as human beings sharing a planet and striving to make the world a better place for all humanity. Their grievance is the kindness and respect a man shows a woman, the justice we practice as equals under the law, and the mercy we grant our enemy. Their grievance cannot be answered by an apology for who or what we are.
Our mediocre attitude of not confronting Islamic forces of bigotry and hatred wherever they raised their ugly head in the last 30 years, has empowered and strengthened our enemy to launch a full scale attack on the very freedoms we cherish in their effort to impose their values and way of life on our civilization.
If we don’t wake up and challenge our Muslim community to take action against the terrorists within it, if we don’t believe in ourselves as Americans and in the standards we should hold every patriotic American to, we are going to pay a price for our delusion. For the sake of our children and our country, we must wake up and take action. In the face of a torrent of hateful invective and terrorist murder, America ‘s learning curve since the Iran hostage crisis is so shallow that it is almost flat. The longer we lay supine, the more difficult it will be to stand erect.
This is all coming true. A non-patriot is President of this great country. He has openly admitted his Muslim roots and his sympathy for all Muslims. How can this happen?? APATHY, that’s how!!! Send this around.
Brigitte Gabriel is an expert on the Middle East conflict and lectures nationally and internationally on the subject. She’s the former news anchor of World News for Middle East television and the founder of AmericanCongressforTruth.com
Maybe Mr. McKelway can find himself a home at Fox. I can’t see any of the other major networks picking him up. It’s rough when you really do speak truth to power.
Ms. Gabriel gets many things right in her article, but in one particular area she’s spot-on: the problem with Islam is with Islam itself. As with any group that has over a billion members, Muslims can vary widely in attitude and outlook, from the most mindless irhaby suicide bomber to someone like Irshad Manji, who asks uncomfortable questions of Islam while herself continuing to profess Islam as her faith. But within Islam’s “sacred” books are contained the justifications for all manner of human depravity. In no other faith can be found so much original source material on when and how to make war, how looting is to take place and by what formula the proceeds are to be divided, justifications for holding prisoners for ransom, the “proper” way to beat one’s wife, and so on. And unlike the Old Testament, which certainly has its violent parts, but which overall viewed war as a sometimes necessary evil, the Quran and the Hadiths glory in war and conquest. And while Christians view much of the OT as superseded by the advent of the Redeemer, Muslims view the Quran as the final word of the Almighty; there is nothing else to come, this is it. And that is the root of the problems with Islam.
