Nat Geo Producer: John Wilkes
Booth ‘Could Be the Poster
Child for the Tea Party´

Cybercast News Service, by Elizabeth Harrington

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/7/2013 3:24:26 PM

Executive Producer Erik Jendresen of National Geographic Channel´s upcoming television movie “Killing Lincoln,” said John Wilkes Booth “could be the poster child for the Tea Party.” “This is not the act of somebody who can easily be dismissed as a psychopath, so that it’s easy to understand, ‘Oh well, he was crazy,’” Jendresen said of Booth at a Television Critics Association winter press tour event on Friday in Pasadena, Calif., as initially reported by The Wrap. “No. It´s more disturbing to find out who Booth was," said Jendresen.

Comments:
It is just criminal what these jerks are able to get away with. With all the uninformed voters in Amierca you know they certainly won´t take the time to consider that this is just propaganda.

A very large number of elderly, who love their Country, their children and grandchildren are TEA party members.
They start their meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, and are law abiding, good people. Because they believe they and their fellow citizens are taxed too much, because they believe in the Constitution, the Black Caucus and the press have demonized these good people. Your grandparents, your Aunt, your mother, your Uncle.
America is sick, and sadly I believe it is a terminal illness.
Because the TEA party belief system is the winner against tyranny, it has to be destroyed by Marxists.

Hmmm . . John Wilkes Booth was a southern sympathizer (Democrat) of the first order. Southern Democrats were the party of slavery, and they didn´t want slavery to end. Don´t lay this at the feet of any other than the Democratic Party, mister producer. The Tea Party would be wise to use Booth and this guy as it´s poster childs.


Reply 24 - Posted by: joew9, 1/7/2013 5:44:40 PM     (No. 9103773)

So he found out who Booth was. A man who lived a hundred plus years ago. He is, however, unable to find out who the Tea Party-ers are because it is apparent that what he believes they are is not actually what they are. And they´re still alive today. It shows that he only reads liberal news media and their fictional characterization of the Tea Party.

Oh My does this imply the entire Tea party will rise up to shoot a black lincoln?
Is this why he wants to ban guns instead of trying to disarm us for the UN?
Don´t worry Obe won Lincoln the Tea party would not waste their bullet on you. It wouldn´t be the Tea party that breaks the law but even they can´t control a foreign force who controls a drone and deals name cards for instance.

Exactly right, #22.

#17, this came to my mind, too. The things said about and wished against President Bush were unbelievably vile. But you´ll note, no-one in the media ever called out the Left on this, not even the Repub. pundits, with a few exceptions.

For the Left, it is essential to demolish and disperse the only somewhat organized conservative/patriot group. So the Dem/Lefties will demonize and denounce and ridicule incessantly.

But since comparisons are being hurled: Pol Pot would have been in the Dem/Left party and part of the OWSer mobs (occupy wall streeters), alongside every other vicious totalitarian monster whose goal was and is always to exterminate the opposition.

I think it´s time we respond en masse to these attacks on fellow American Patriots. One place to start is by calling Congressmen and stating the case for who the TEA Partiers are. Whether a "member" of a TEA Party group or not, they are us.

I remember as a kid when I got my first Nat Geo membership card. I was so proud. I used to love to read those mags, and no it was not just to see the pics of the naked pigmies. I stopped my membership around 2002 when the quality of the writing went down and the over emphasis to man made global warming began to take hold. I am now practically ashamed to say I was once a member. It is so politically active and biased now compared to its former glory days. I am sure it´s readership is down and not all of it is attributable to modern technology alternatives to traditional print.

For shame!

Booth was one of the more than 30,000 citizens from Northern states who Lincoln had arrested for making statements against his War with the Confederacy. I imagine that Lincoln´s action ticked him off. Luckily for Democrats, they haven´t started arresting Tea Party members yet for speaking out against Obamacare and taxes.

#4, take what you read with a fat grain of salt. There is a LOT of revisionist history and false allegations being made based on unsubstantiated assumptions. Some folks will say anything to make a name for themselves...even folks who claim to be on the right side of the argument. I have also seen some people I highly respect (and usually agree with) fall for some of the revisionist garbage that has been clearly refuted by others who have demonstrated the research and conclusions are bad.

This NatGeo idiot is just another propagandist looking for attention. These guys were probably recruited long ago to come out with junk like this at certain time intervals to ensure that they can continue to discredit anyone who is not a kool-aid drinking leftist. They have to keep up the negative campaign so people will believe it to be true.

At 84, I´ve read National Geographic most of my life. I was iffy about reuping but no longer--I´m done. I´m first and foremost a Patriot and Tea Party attendee. I will return the next "bill" telling them the reason why. I´ve watched the democrat progressives work hard to keep low income people down on the old plantation--even if it is in the inner cities, lied to and kept illiterate. I wish someone could get through to them and tell them Democrat pols are first of all for themselves, and everyone else are the slaves.

If you actually study Lincoln, he was a tyrant. Like our current president, he governed by executive order, working around the other branches in a decidedly unconstitutional manner.

Booth, along with many people tired of seeing fellow Americans KILLED, did something extremely rash to stop him, resulting in Lincoln´s martyrdom.

If 0bama continues with his outside-the-Constitution endruns around Congress and the courts, if he and his Czars start using all that ammo for something other than the claimed "target practice," will another Booth emerge?

While I agree that 0bama, like Lincoln, needs to be stopped, creating a martyr is NOT the way to do it.

Still, he must be stopped. First step: we must do a better job of convincing the other half of our republic that he is up to no good...

Saturday Evening Post, Look, Life and National Geografic were all favorites of mine as a kid growing up in the 50´s and the 60´s. College library I went to had copies of Look going back to the 30´s. Fascinated reading about and seeing history as it happened. So much for quality now. Oh, and Margaret Sanger has been a poster child of the Democratic party for decades. She was obviously a favorite of the 3rd Reich also.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move!

"Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Nice try, Mr. President. Feigning anger, firing an unknown bureaucrat and fleeing the podium won’t cut it with voters, or stop the hemorrhaging of the scandals that have spawned a Watergate-like feel around the Obama administration. There was a certain panicky look about the way the president quickly delivered a rare evening White House statement to try to quell the growing outrage over the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups. The move showed how damaging the scandal has become to Obama’s second term and maybe even his presidency. But Obama took no questions and, more importantly,

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1.
