Hack Jouranalists at Extremist Left-Wing Rag, the New York Times, just can’t help themselves.

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on 1/16/2011 @ 3:49 pm

That headline seems a bit harsh, doesn’t it? I mean, is the New York Times really an extremist Left-Wing Rag? Is that fair, or even close to accurate? Maybe not, but in its recent article, purporting to give readers a “Behind the Mug-Shot” view of Arizona murderer Jared Loughner, the writers can’t help themselves: although they address the many indicators that Loughner was mentally unhinged, they have to slip in inferences that there is a connection to “right-wing groups”.

Strangely, they are silent about Loughner’s left-wing influences, they say nothing about Loughner being an atheist – because these parts of the psychotic puzzle that is Loughner do not fit well with their agenda of attacking and undermining their opponents on the right.

Under the guise of “journalism” they show us some of the evidence of Loughner’s insanity, but they can’t help dropping in statements that imply some kind of connection with “right-wing groups”. Why not share evidence of Loughner’s being an atheist, left-wing nut? Because the writers’ agenda is to imply it’s the right-wing that is exerting a dangerous influence on American society.

They do show us evidence of Loughner’s madness:

Looking Behind the Mug-Shot Grin of an Accused Killer

“What the cacophony of facts do suggest is that Mr. Loughner is struggling with a profound mental illness (most likely paranoid schizophrenia, many psychiatrists say); that his recent years have been marked by stinging rejection — from his country’s military, his community college, his girlfriends and, perhaps, his father; that he, in turn, rejected American society, including its government, its currency, its language, even its math. Mr. Loughner once declared to his professor that the number 6 could be called 18.

As he alienated himself from his small clutch of friends, grew contemptuous of women in positions of power and became increasingly oblivious to basic social mores, Mr. Loughner seemed to develop a dreamy alternate world, where the sky was sometimes orange, the grass sometimes blue and the Internet’s informational chaos provided refuge.”

But then they can’t help themselves, they have to imply that the right somehow has played a part in this insanity:

“He became an echo chamber for stray ideas, amplifying, for example, certain grandiose tenets of a number of extremist right-wing groups — including the need for a new money system and the government’s mind-manipulation of the masses through language.

Mr. Loughner said that he had paid for his courses illegally because, “I did not pay with gold and silver” — a standard position among right-wing extremist groups.” [emphasis mine]

Arizona Shooting Victim Arrested For Death Threat To Tea Party Leader

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on @ 1:50 pm

“Local station KGUN is reporting that Eric Fuller a 63-year-old military veteran who was shot in the back last Saturday while attending Rep. Giffords’ “Congress on Your Corner” event, became enraged by the statements of some of the participants at the town hall events and threatened the life of Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

Toward the end of the town hall meeting Saturday morning, one of the shooting victims, J. Eric Fuller, took exception to comments by two of the speakers: Ariz. state Rep. Terri Proud, a Dist. 26 Republican, and Tucson Tea Party spokesman Trent Humphries.

According to sheriff’s deputies at the scene, Fuller took a photo of Humphries and said, “You’re Dead.”

Deputies immediately escorted Fuller from the room.

Fuller is being charged with threats, intimidation, and disorderly conduct according to authorities. He has been profiled by CBS and has publicly blamed Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Sharron Angle for inciting the violence that caused the events of last Saturday.”

The more we learn about the Tuscon shooter, the weirder it gets (and harder to blame on political rhetoric)

“The night before the rampage, authorities say, Mr. Loughner, 22, dropped off at a drugstore a roll of 35-millimeter film containing images he had shot of himself posing with a Glock semiautomatic pistol while wearing a red G-string. The authorities said he picked up the film early on the day of the shooting at a Walgreens in the same strip mall where he would later open fire at a citizens’ forum held by Representative Gabrielle Giffords, Democrat of Arizona.

In some of the photos Mr. Loughner is holding the gun near his crotch, and in others, presumably taken in a mirror, he is holding the gun next to his buttocks, investigators said. It was not clear when the photos were taken.”

Reagan on Responsibility

“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”

American Islamophobia – Pat Condell

“People who oppose Islam are not Islamophobic, they are Islamo-realistic.”

What if the Tuscon shooter were named Muhammad?

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on 1/10/2011 @ 6:29 pm

“Just ask yourself this. If the shooter had been a 22-year-old named Muhammad, would we be hearing that Muslim talk radio and the Muslim Internet blamed for it?” the top-rated host asked today. “No, we’d have been told that we can’t blame Muslims for the action of one kook.” – Rush Limbaugh

“In continuing this template and narrative that the tea party and Sarah Palin, that talk radio and Fox News, are inspiring violence, they forget that, in the process of so doing, they are attacking what is now a majority of America,” Limbaugh said. “They are accusing a majority of Americans of being accomplices to murder. … It’s all just surreal. These people are making abject fools of themselves in open, public now.”

And the charge that the killer was motivated by right wing politicald “hate”?

“One user on Twitter, Caitie Parker, wrote she went to high school, college and was in a band with the gunman. She said she hadn’t seen him since 2007.

Parker wrote of Loughner, “As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal and oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy.”

She also described him as “more left.”

Obama Eyeing Internet ID For Americans

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on 1/8/2011 @ 5:31 pm

“CBS News reports that the Obama administration is currently drafting the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, which will be released by the president in the next few months.

‘We are not talking about a national ID card,’ says Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, whose department will be in charge of the program. ‘We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities.’

Although details have not been finalized, the ‘trusted identity’ may take the form of a smart card or digital certificate that would prove online users are who they say they are.
