ABC defends editing Michelle
Obama’s ‘automatic weapon’ claim

Washington Examiner, by Michal Conger

Original Article

Posted By:Desert Fox, 2/27/2013 6:15:02 AM

ABC is defending its decision to edit out an apparently erroneous claim by Michelle Obama in its broadcast of the first lady’s interview on Good Morning America today, saying it made the changes “solely” for the sake of time. As The Washington Examiner reported this morning, the first lady claimed during an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts that 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was killed in Chicago shortly after performing during the President’s Inauguration, was shot because “some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need.” In fact, Chicago Police reported Pendleton was shot by a man who

The sentence about the chemistry test was edited out for the sake of time.

The part about "some kids had automatic weapons" was deleted to cover up a lie.

The Obama lie machine has become an art form where people believe their claims regardless of how ludicrous they are . In this case MO´s cause outweighs the facts0
0 on the issue so it´s buffered out by the media.

It´s always just under the surface and more and more comes out in the open. Liberals can´t help themselves because it is their religion. Like the jihadists, the Church of Liberalism requires all followers to use their station in life to further the agenda. No conspiracy is required. Obama makes it known where he wishes to go and they follow their leader. The duty of the liberal jihadist is to help where they can which includes protecting the leaders by providing favorable propaganda if you are in a position to do so.

The First Lady´s remarks had to be edited lest it sound like she had no idea what she was talking about. Kids with automatic weapons they don´t need -just playthings, really- are not the same thing as gang bangers shooting at rivals with handguns. Of course everybody knows that the First Lady has no idea what she is talking about. The reason is that she is not talking about what actually happened but what might as well have happened, what could have happened, and what WILL happen unless immediate, sweeping, effective gun control laws and abolition of private ownership of anything that even LOOKS like the dreaded "assault rifle" are enacted.

Leftists are always accused by normal people of lying or getting their facts wrong. This is not quite fair. Leftists are not truly concerned with mere facts. They have bigger fish to fry. They can be wrong about the (so-called) facts and still be right about the Big Picture. It happens all the time. Since conservatives, being mean-spirited, have no Big Picture, when they are wrong about the facts, it matters. It does not matter when Leftists are wrong about the facts.

Besides, it simply would not do for America to have an uninformed, sloppy-minded, mendacious ignoramus as First Lady, especially if she happens to be black. ABC had no choice but to clean up her remarks. It was the patriotic, progressive thing to do.

#12 Good question. All I can think of is the tidy job they did editing George Zimmerman´s 9-1-1 call to show how precisely he answered the operator´s questions about the hoodie-wearing lurker in his neighborhood.

The Mooch´s words speak volumes about the benefits of a Princeton affirmative action degree.

"And she was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need,” she said. “I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first."

On the other side of it, it´s become common practice for state run broadcast media to engage in selective editing to smear the GOP. Why don´t Republicans just cite scheduling conflicts when invited by obama agents like david gregory and by the losers on msnbc? Or just ignore them. That´s how democrats respond to Fox News invitations. When GOP officials agree to appear, they should be very tough like John Sununu. It´s what the media whores deserve.

The editing was done so Mooch would not appear to be as dumb as a bag of hammers. Statements like this and numerous other statements by Emperor Zippy make you wonder about the real value of an Ivy League education.

An ObamaCare Board
Answerable to No One
Wall Street Journal, by David Rivkin and Elizabeth Foley    Original Article
Posted By: Desert Fox- 6/19/2013 9:55:12 PM     Post Reply
Signs of ObamaCare´s failings mount daily, including soaring insurance costs, looming provider shortages and inadequate insurance exchanges. Yet the law´s most disturbing feature may be the Independent Payment Advisory Board. The IPAB, sometimes called a "death panel," threatens both the Medicare program and the Constitution´s separation of powers. At a time when many Americans have been unsettled by abuses at the Internal Revenue Service and Justice Department, the introduction of a powerful and largely unaccountable board into health care merits special scrutiny. For a vivid illustration of the extent to which life-and-death medical decisions have already been usurped by government bureaucrats,

Disarmament: President Obama has proposed targeting cuts in deployed atomic weapons of up to a third below levels achieved in a 2010 treaty with Russia. He wants a world without nuclear arms — specifically ours. Only a shameless politician could invoke the name of President Kennedy in Berlin to announce the nuclear disarmament of America. When Kennedy proclaimed "Ich bin ein Berliner" in June 1963, it was a statement of solidarity with the free people of West Berlin and a pledge of resistance to the tyranny that surrounded it. It was not an act of

In Afghanistan, Obama
Repeating Big Vietnam Mistake

War On Terror: President Obama is practically engineering a silent coup against flawed Afghan President Hamid Karzai, with whom we replaced the Taliban in 2001. He´s copying America´s worst mistake of the Vietnam War. A perfect comparison it may not be, but disturbing similarities exist between the Obama administration´s unfolding abandonment of Afghanistan´s corrupt President Karzai and the Kennedy administration´s betrayal of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem 50 years ago. Karzai on Wednesday backed out of impending talks with the Taliban after the U.S. announced its diplomats will negotiate directly with the country´s bloodthirsty former rulers.

Obama Rhetoric Matches

President Obama insists his policies are driven by a "common sense" approach. He also speaks in terms of "we the people" and "the government is us." Such declarations are reminiscent of old Soviet posters displayed for all to see: "ALL POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE" and "PEOPLE AND COMMUNIST PARTY ARE ONE." But the real power in the USSR was in the hands of Communist Party leaders. They, in the name of the people, defined foes of centralized government as "enemies of the people." Similarly, Obama´s Department of Homeland Security has defined right-wing extremists as "those that are mainly anti-government,

He was making a tour of Europe on his messianic pilgrimage as part of his campaign. He requested to

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete
