| Dana Bash, Matt Lauer, Soledad O´Brien, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Politico Chuck Todd, Dave Weigel, The New York Times… This is just a short list of mainstream media members who apparently don´t want the truth to come out about Libya. No doubt, they would argue against that statement, but how else to explain the crusade they´ve all joined over the last 24 hours to trash Senator John McCain as a lying, obsessed Captain Ahab still bitter over his 2008 loss to Barack Obama? Because the media hasn´t done so,

That´s why I never watch these nitwits. They don´t tell the truth. This country is headed down, I´m afraid to hell. We are against Israel. Obama hates Israel. He helped to start this mess. Democrats are brainless. Follow the leader to hell, people. You are doomed. God loves Israel. All of you democrats are shaking your fist in the face of God.

The big centerpiece question in all this is if Obama gave the orders to stand down rescuing Stevens.Panetta claims he had the rescue people in place but no one asked for them. But even if no one asked,they had a drone watching the debacle unfold and sending people in should have been a no brainer.For whatever reason Obama wanted Stevens dead and he almost got away with the video storyline.
I still think the protests in other countries were coordinated with this attack as a smokes screen.
There could have been a Stevens cable where he threatened to go public on the lack of security,That would have been a huge embarrassment for Obama and Clinton.

Wow! Some "heavy hitters" in THAT "media" group! Not! And are WE supposed to give a flying fig about WHAT the leftist-kool-aid-drinking-knee-pad-wearing-supporters of all things obama say about anything? Seriously? I was never a great fan of John McCain, but IMHO, he is absolutely correct in what he is saying about obama AND his feckless administration. They have caused the death of more than four Americans in Libya, they have caused the "death" of U.S. credibility all over the World because this Country can no longer be trusted to even defend our own people. And yet the dead-end-press will continue to praise their dear Leader right over the cliff. Which can´t come soon enough.

They might not be useless but they are broke because they lost most of their paying viewership. What´s left is the kool aid drinking viewers which will believe anything said. THe taxpayers left a long time ago. They are mostly bankrupt if you look at their financials and in the process of shrinking whatever assets they have left like Newsweek.

McCain will redeem himself when we see Obama getting on Marine One after his resignation speech. McCain has done little over the years and now the nation titters on brink Civil disorder, insurgency and dictatorship. At the last minute he steps up to the plate. Well remember when Casey stepped up to the plate he struck out McCain will too. Is there ONE HONEST Democrat left in congress. NO.

I´ve never doubted McCain is a patriot, but he and his fellow GOPers in Washington are as responsible for this as anyone. McCain campaigned saying what a ´good guy´ Obama was. He only got as many votes as he did because of Plain. For 4 years he and the other GOP have sat on their hands doing nothing. Nothing! Being indignant now is too little too late.

Bingo #4, and the question no one seems to be asking? Who flooded the Muslim world with propaganda about this absurd video to begin with? Who fanned the flames to begin with, setting this backstory in motion? A little investigating into that background would be very revealing, I imagine. Yes, indeed.
It was opportunistic? No, it was orchestrated. Starting in July with a video literally only Muslims knew existed. Someone, anyone, please explain that to me. I just don´t buy that some English speaking Muslim stumbled upon that video, told two friends, who told two friends...

Confession, the article was not read, but the blurb caught my eye. Wanted to say that it is apparent Ms Luci´s site is read by a good many persons. Listening to Rush, reading Breitbart, how often what is read here is picked up by others. Be it a word ...in this case ´whale´ which was being discussed here as ´Moby Dick´. There have been other instances as well. But it is something to think about. That is all Over and out.

President Obama´s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants. But months later, many immigrants are having vastly different reactions to the change depending on where they live, and they aren´t flocking to the program at the levels the government originally expected. A handful of Republican-led states are blocking basic benefits for those in the program, denying beneficiaries identification cards, driver´s licenses,

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
