HUMILIATE, NOT EDUCATE

I've stolen the phrase "humiliate, not educate" from Dennis Prager, from just today. It might also be "humiliate, rather than illuminate."

Dennis states that after seeing the (chopped up) interview of Sarah Palin by Charlie Gibson, this is the not-so-new mantra of the mainstream media as it relates to anyone on the right, especially if that someone happens to be in the political arena (see my post on photographer Jill Greenberg).

Rather than being objective and impartial journalistically, the MSM blatantly chooses to skew and distort a person's words to fit their own agenda. "Gotcha" and phony questions about the "Bush doctrine" shows Mr. Gibson's own ignorance and philosophy, especially when Sarah Palin managed to stay calm and collected in her responses, rather than to lean over and throttle Mr. Gibson, which is what most of us would have done!

GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?

PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?

GIBSON: The Bush — well, what do you — what do you interpret it to be?

PALIN: His world view?

GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.

…

GIBSON: Do we have a right to anticipatory self-defense? Do we have a right to make a preemptive strike again another country if we feel that country might strike us?

PALIN: Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend.

Wow. Apparently the "Bush doctrine" has been around for THOUSANDS of years, then, because leaders and countries all the way back to Caesar have followed this particular line of thought in times of war! Who knew?

ABC Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview

Naturally, ABC (you know the one who spelled God with a small G?) left out some very important information from Charlie Gibson's interview of Sarah Palin.

Thankfully the entire transcript can be found here.

'I Want Her to Decimate This Woman'

Not that most people actually care what Mr. & Mrs. Chevy Chase think, but for those foolish enough to care, it's out there.

Atlantic 'Appalled' by Lib Photog's Altered McCain Pics

This is what happens when you hire a "hard core" liberal to take pictures for your magazine.

Yep, she's a keeper! No shame, no remorse. Here are 2 quotes from the article that get to the gist of it:

This tells us a lot about what kind of ethics Greenberg believes the Left approves of.

We should worry if that mindset really does gain power.

From Wikipedia (so take with a grain of salt):

McCain photo controversy

Greenberg was contracted by The Atlantic to shoot a picture of John McCain for the magazine's October, 2008 cover. She admitted to deliberately shooting the images to cause McCain to appear unfavorably, by placing a strobe light on the ground in order to make McCain look more sinister. She stated that it was her intention to "stir stuff up.". Greenberg also posted to her website altered versions of photographs she had taken of McCain showing him in an unfavorable light, including an image of McCain with bleeding vampire teeth with the caption "I am a bloodthirsty warmonger." Her behavior was described as "incredibly unprofessional" by James Bennet, the Atlantic's editor. Greenberg was unapologetic, stating "Some of my artwork has been pretty anti-Bush, so maybe it was somewhat irresponsible for [The Atlantic] to hire me."

This is so typical. Immaturity and raw hatred. Blames the Atlantic for HER OWN ACTIONS. She can't even be professional with a presidential candidate. Although you can BET that if Obama were in her studio, the photos would be glowing with adoration and "virtue!"

Australian jury finds 6 Muslims guilty of terrorism

At least they found 6 guilty, even if they aquitted 4 others.

a big God...with a little "g"

In ABC News' on line article about Sarah Palin's faith, three paragraphs oh-so-conveniently "misspell" God as "god." With a small "g."

A simple slip? A little "oopsie"? Oh, I think not. And just in case ABC happens to correct this error, here is a screenshot:

Financial news

Another major financial company going belly up

AND...

Bank of America buys Merrill Lynch.

More steps in the end times road where the financial arena will become more unstable, yet more banks and financial institutions will merge, creating fewer, but more powerful, banking institutions.

Why the Media Feminists Hate Palin

And why the Right loves her!

Another typical response to Sarah Palin from a feminist on the left.

Hates her. She proudly says so!
