Astounding Media Bias FOR La Raza

nospam@example.com (captainfish) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:54:34 -0500

Digger has a piece up on You Tube showing the awful bias that the media has for organizations like La Raza and their bias against organizations and people who are against illegal crossers.

Please watch this and make sure when you do, you don't have food in your stomach. Cause when you watch this disgusting "diatribe" from the media in San Diego you will want to vomit.

And then you will want to vomit again when you learn that John McCain will be a keynote speaker for La Raza and that Former Republican president Bush had spoken there as well.

I feel so ill right now. This would be like declaring a holiday for the SS or the Kamikaze pilots during WW2.

Arr, there be internets under here somewhere!

Holy cow, something weird is going on with the server right now. My apologies for all of the extra slowocity we've got going on right now—We're working on figuring out what's going on at the moment, and hope to have it fixed soon!

Oh, by "we," I mean me and my trusty me. And when I say "have it fixed," I mean I'm going to hop right back into reading my latest Jeff Shaara novel. I'm still trying to figure out whether George Washington and his merry band of Regulars are going to beat Cornwallis or not!

Besides, these interweb tube thingies fix themselves. Pfft.

See y'all tomorrow morning!

What Will You Suffer For Your Faith?

nospam@example.com (captainfish) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:35:31 -0500

Early Christians were sent to feed wild lions and animals, with their own bodies, for being Christians. People today all over the world are being arrested for telling others about Jesus and the Christian faith in places such as China, Muslim nations and even in Israel.

From the ever-dying England comes word that once again England has decided to cater to muslim sensitivities instead of being neutral or holding on to their original cultural identity. Instead of forcing immigrants to adopt the English culture, England liberal elitists are forcing England and its people to change culture and accept muslim ways, ideals and muslim laws.

Daily Mail:

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

Flash: New Deal With Pakistan

nospam@example.com (captainfish) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:58:39 -0500

According to Fox News, the US has made a deal with Pakistan:

CIA-operated Predator drones may launch strikes against Usama bin Laden without prior permission from Pakistan, according to people familiar with the standing agreement between the U.S. and Islamabad.

Odd thing though, this deal was actually made 7 years ago. This deal came to light as people in the Pentagon are getting upset with the CIA over not capturing Bin Laden. So, it would seem that they leaked this story to spike Pakistan against CIA.

Holy Cow: AP Caught Stealing from Cookie Jar, Again?

Blogger Patterico has noticed that the Associated Press lifted 157 words from his blog for one of its recent stories, without compensating him for the exclusive information he provided. This is comical, considering how the Associated Press is in the middle of a little snafu over a blog quoting their articles. Says Patterico:

Now, in a slightly ironic twist, the AP is taking content from a blog site. Namely, mine.

In a news item about the e-mail from Judge Kozinski’s wife that I posted on this site, an AP article lifted numerous passages.

I won't quote any more from Patterico's article, in case he's planning on charging $2.95 per word (just like the other AP). Be sure to hop on over and read the rest—And be sure to get as much of a laugh out of this as I am.

Thanks for the tip, Patterico! I am definitely appreciating the irony of this situation more and more.

Slimy Chris Matthews Belittles Death of Tim Russert

nospam@example.com (captainfish) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:12:57 -0500

From the great and wonderful (cough, gag) MSNBC and Keith "I hate all things" Olberman, comes this interview with Chris Matthews and his thoughts on the passing of Tim Russert. Chris, always the slime-ball and America-hater, has to use the passing of a good man as another excuse to attack America and the current president. You only need to watch the first 3 minutes of this to get your fill of sewage and garbage.

I mean, you knew it was going to be bad because Olberman was hosting the show. I think it says alot about our country that a show like Olberman's is still running.

Allah Works In Mysterious Ways

The best laugh I've had in ages was last year when Palestinian terrorists, and their supporters, died in a tsunami of [Ed.:—"crap"]. Who says Allah doesn't have a sense of humour?

Aziza heard someone shouting, telling her to run away. She got out of the hut, then went back in because she had forgotten her head covering.

The wall of raw human waste slammed into them. It knocked her down and tore the baby from her arms.

He drowned. They found his body against the wall of the mosque a hundred metres away.

So, what have the "freedom fighters" of Palestine done to prevent another cosmic joke in my Islamophobic universe? Absolutely nothing.

Sadi said that the lakes [of untreated sewage] are 11m (36ft) higher than the surrounding land, and only the earth walls around them hold the muck in.

In this single spot alone - and he said other parts of Gaza were as bad - the lakes were so big that if the dykes burst a tsunami of sewage 6m (20ft) or 7m (23ft) high would swamp an area inhabited by 10,000 people.

Sadi Ali worries that a stray bomb or missile could break a dyke.

I have no doubt Sadi is concerned about terrorist missiles or bombs, right? But I'm certain Sadi values his life too much to suggest the Palestinian government should spend more money on the welfare of Gaza residents rather than the arming of Palestinian militants or blaming the Jews for their predicament.

Either way it works out for me. There'll be peace, or another tsunami of Islamic karma to brighten my day.

Allahu achbar!

Al Qaeda To 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists: We Did It

nospam@example.com (DMartyr) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:16:52 -0500

Al Qaeda demands a little respect:

CAIRO, Egypt — Usama bin Laden's chief deputy in an audiotape Tuesday accused Shiite Iran of trying to discredit the Sunni Al Qaeda terror network by spreading the conspiracy theory that Israel was behind the Sept. 11 attacks.

Didn't The Onion cover this story on April Fools Day?

To me this is just a wash in problems. Imagine being taken to jail and arrested for being the victim?

From OneNewsNow website comes this little gem of how your United States Constitution works to protect citizen's rights....

Attorney Gary Kreep says a California man is being sued by a group of Hispanic day-laborers who claim he attacked them, even though witnesses and photographic evidence clearly indicate he was the victim.

She's Dead to Me

... but apparently, ~~Madonna~~ She Who Shall Not Be Named doesn't seem to like "American" life. Spoken, of course, from the comfort of England.

Video's here, if you want to see it. I can't decide whether she's worth the full attention of an Embedded Player or not.

Here's the life that she'd apparently prefer that we all live:

Freedom of expression for every woman—So long as they shut up and hold the sign I give them.

REUTERS/Goran Tomasevic (EGYPT)

Yeah, America's so much more evil for the world than this. Right.

One other thing: ~~Madonna~~ She Who Shall Not Be Named might want to go out and get fitted for her burqa, sooner rather than later. She's going to need it in Merry Olde Londonistan real soon.

Oh wait, that's right—She can afford to move to whatever country she wants. Good for her. I'm thinking Zimbabwe's nice 'round this time of year.

A Deserving Target of Scorn

This is parody of a national leader that I strongly endorse, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow:

Notice that those of us who believe that Jerusalem—the most holy city in all of Judaism—actually belongs to the Jewish people, are smeared by the Associated Press as being "opponents of peace." This is utterly laughable, if you consider those that the press insists are FOR peace.

...with a bad photo, when you can include a slur to smear him with as well? Here's another example of the press providing a disrespectful photograph of a person they don't like, courtesy The Press Agency That Surrenders:

A distinct lack of respect

nospam@example.com (Brian C. Ledbetter) — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 08:27:10 -0500

One of the most common tactics used by photographers against public figures who espouse beliefs they disagree with, is to select a somewhat less-than-flattering photograph from the stack, and release that image. Here's a good example of this kind of photograph, courtesy Tobias Schwarz of Germany, who apparently is not incredibly happy with Chancellor Angela Merkel. Reuters, as usual, is more than happy to transmit propaganda across their wires, hopeful that they'll at least get some kind of artistic award for their effort.

UPDATE 22-AUG-2006 11:33 EST: Of course, not to be outdone, the AFP's White House photographer does his best to disrespect the current Commander in Chief of the United States of America. Say what you want about him, decorum suggests that the President probably deserves a more respectful photograph than the three sent across the AFP wires. Our photographer, though, seems to be stuck in a second-grade mentality, unable to salvage any respectful thoughts for those he dislikes. Typical behavior of our juvenile media.
