Media Follows Obama´s Orders
to Mock Skeet-Gate Skeptics

Brietbart Big Journalism, by John Nolte

Original Article

Posted By:FlyRight, 2/3/2013 7:40:38 AM

Some of you younger folks might not remember this, but there was a time when the media questioned Power. No, really, once upon a time, the media saw it as its duty to be forever questioning and skeptical of Power, especially when Power was in pursuit of more power. For example, Obama is attempting to grab more power for The State and criminals by way of gun control laws that infringe on our Second Amendment civil rights.

You know they had to stage this photo (if it´s even real) when they started their anti-2nd Amendment push.

And if they think Alinsky Rules to ridicule work for them on us, then it can work for us right back at´em.

Are we skeptics? No...... just conditioned to know that nothing from these people is believable, except their dishonesty.

Obama said he "did skeet shooting" so the WH had to scramble. I don´t think the photo could possibly be photoshopped, and if it is Obama behind the gun he is probably taking target practice. You don´t shoot at skeet straight on like that. But he said he shot skeet so the WH had to lie, as always, to cover for him.

Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of shotguns knows this is a staged shot.

The way our Doofus is holding the shotgun and the way he is aiming and the way it sits against his shoulder is all wrong.

I do not expect our media buffoons to understand this. Their lack of knowledge of anything gun related is well-known.

Yes, the media used to question Power. However, they now think their job is to be the voice of the little guy--- the people whom they claim have no voice otherwise. So we are fed social justice stories 24/7 ad nauseum and in this way the news is totally distorted. The minority viewpoint or struggle is transformed into the majority opinion because that´s all the viewers see, day after day.
Whether or not this is intentional is a separate topic. Besides, it´s nearly impossible to prove intent.

Just in case some lowinfos are reading this, we need to always post this truth:

The only reason to take guns away from a population is to allow the government to take over without contest. The only reason. It is not about "violence" or "the children". It is to take over the country. Does anyone read history, does anyone understand the past?

Anything else said is just BS. It is about the power to overcome.

Where can I get a recoilless shotgun like Obambi is using. THe shirt is neatly tucked in without a bit of wrinkle from a sudden forceful movement (like the recoil of the weapon). Shirt sleeves gently hanging tot he arms as he fires away. No movement of the head, shoulder, torso, nothing. Perfectly recoilless. Great gun!

With all the technology the government has access to, one would think they would be able to produce better stuff than this. It is in human nature to mock what is really dumb, stupid, bad, etc. Hence, our attitude towards the media and libs in general.

Scary thing is, I can see where the WH pulls a Canada on us and makes a law that would regulate mocking him as a hate crime.

See Mark Steyn as an example.

Perhaps they need to find someone to do their dirty work, such as Photoshopping, that actually knows what they are doing. They don´t seem to realize in the "real" world people actually know what they are talking about & know silliness when they see it.

We don´t need to accuse the WH of photo-shopping this image to ridicule it, the Prez made that possible all on his own.

And forget where he´s aiming, he ain´t even HOLDING the thing right. The butt is braced against his shoulder joint, not in the "pocket" between the joint and the clavicle. Just look at the pic.

Recall the first fake BC they released wasn´t even the same format as a real Hawaii BC from that time. And the later document they showed still had photoshop-editing layers that weren´t ever ´flattened´ to conceal the fact it had been modified. This photo includes features that give it away as a fake, too.

It almost seems like they´re intentionally leaving evidence of fakery obvious, perhaps to elicit accusations of fakery to facilitate the Alinsky-inspired isolate-and-marginalize strategy to destroy political opponents.

If that wasn´t their strategy to begin with, that seems to be the script that´s playing out.

My two cents:

Look at the funny thing in the end of the barrel, look at the smoke pattern. Would it be any different if someone shoved a roman candle in the barrel and set it off? Doesn´t that smoke look like black powder? (No offense intended) That puff of smoke at the top looks like it is slowly wafting away not like it was blasted out of a port.

O.K., I waited a day to see if someone would say it. Done my duty, going dark.

That looks more like a gas operated rifle that any shotgun I´ve ever seen. Point. I´ve never seen a shot gun with what looks like two barrels. The bottom one IS used on many gas operated rifles. Also, to shoot a round of skeet requires a shotgun capable of firing two rounds, one right after the other. Thats done during the high house, low house segment when a birdie is launched simultianous from both houses and the shooter must locate them and break them with a single shot each. And I´ve spent my life handling many types of guns. Done a lot of hunting when I was younger too.

When´s the last time anyone saw a cropped image of a skeet contest? Where are the traps? What was his score? I won´t believe anything until a wide angle shot is produced. Better yet some video.

#26 - "Point. I´ve never seen a shot gun with what looks like two barrels."

I believe the photo´s a fraud. But to play devil´s advocate, what would #26 say a classic "double barrel shotgun" is, if it doesn´t have two barrels? (In fairness, though, the two are usually SIDE-BY-SIDE, not in a stacked configuration like that.)

The President was attempting to skeet shoot, and the teleprompter was displaying the word "Pull!"

SpokesKid Jay Carney stated that the TOTUS died instantly and felt no pain, and the President is in mourning and will not speak a word to anyone until a new teleprompter is sworn in.

Considering how high the buttstock is agaist Obama´s shoulder, it´s likely the first time he ever fired a shotgun. Likely the last time, too.

That is,if he fired it at all. The angle *is* wrong for skeet or trap, that´s a hell of a lot of smoke for any modern shotgun shell, and I personally have never seen a shotgun with only one side ported (and usually shotgun porting is with a dozen or so small holes, not one big slot).

But hey, *we´re* the nutcases for having some idea what we´re talking about.

The Wall Street Journal has a big frontpage story today on the disability epidemic. It’s a good addendum to my column from last week. The unexpectedly large number of American workers who piled into the Social Security Administration’s disability program during the recession and its aftermath threatens to cost the economy tens of billions a year in lost wages and diminished tax revenues. Signs of the problem surfaced Friday, in a dismal jobs report that showed U.S. labor force participation rates falling last month to the lowest levels since 1979,

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now.

Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70. Funicello, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1987 and became a spokeswoman for treatment of the chronic, often-debilitating disease of the central nervous system, died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Walt Disney Co. spokesman Howard Green said. Funicello and her husband, Glen Holt, had moved from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

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

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show.
