MSNBC Denies Liberal Bias

I don’t really know what else I expected, but it’s still surprising to read that MSNBC’s president believes his network has no bias:
As replays of the conflicts became YouTube hits, MSNBC President Phil Griffin gave his first public defense in a Politico interview.
“MSNBC does not have an ideology,” Griffin said. “We hire smart people who are passionate about their love of politics and love of news.”
May I add, Mr. Griffin, that you hire people who are not only passionate about their love of politics, but who are also passionate about their liberal ideology (i.e. Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews) and their desire to create news.
Just watch MSNBC for 3 minutes and you’ll discover their blatant liberal bias. People on the inside know the network is in trouble:
Amid a spate of awkward on-air conflicts among MNSBC anchors at this week’s Democratic convention, some staff members say there are sharp internal disputes at the cable network over whether its opinion and personality-driven political coverage has crossed the line.
“The situation at our channel is about to blow up,” a high-ranking MSNBC journalist told Politico on Wednesday.
Two other MSNBC sources said some of the testy on-air exchanges between Keith Olbermann — whose quick-witted and often caustic commentary has fueled ratings growth — and other network personalities were a public glimpse of much more intense behind-the-scenes turmoil.
Sounds like DNCTV MSNBC is in as much disarray as the Democrat Party it loves so much–whether both admit it or not.
DNC Hillary Clinton Tribute Video Designed to Make Dems Feel Guilty

If you didn’t catch Hillary Clinton’s DNC speech last night, you missed a tribute video narrated by Chelsea Clinton that aired just before Hillary spoke.
Watch this video. What are your initial thoughts?
Several questions came to mind last night after I watched this video. Who put this tribute together? The DNC? The Clinton camp? Did Obama’s camp actually see the video before it aired?
I ask these questions because I came away with the distinct feeling that this video was designed to make the Democrats feel guilty for not nominating Hillary, and to make Obama feel guilty for not selecting her as his VP candidate.
Am I the only one that got that impression? Now her speech is separate. I’m strictly talking about the tribute video.
GOP Platform May Include Global Warming Plank

From UPI:
The Republican platform may include a first-ever plank on global warming, an examination of a draft document indicated.
“Increased atmospheric carbon has a warming effect on the Earth,” The Hill reported the draft document as saying. “While the scope and long term consequences of this warming effect are the subject of ongoing research, we believe the United States should take measured and reasonable steps today.”
I swear the Republicans are actively trying to lose this election. They are doing almost everything possible to give the conservative base the middle finger.
The elitists and the so-called experts in the Party still believe that the main reason they lost in 2006 was the whole “climate of corruption” mentality. They’re wrong. They lost because they haven’t been conservative enough.
Now what I love is how we do have some Party higher-ups telling us that they know the Party needs to get back to its conservative roots, yet we now hear of this potential global warming plank in the platform.
News flash to Republicans: so-called “Independent” voters aren’t going to decide this election for Republicans, conservatives will. And right now, you’re losing conservatives.
Feds Round Up 600 Alleged Illegal Immigrants in Mississippi

Here’s some more good news on the illegal immigration front, and it just goes to show us what can happen when we pressure the government to do the will of the People.
The largest single-workplace immigration raid in U.S. history has caused panic among Hispanic families in this small southern Mississippi town, where federal agents rounded up nearly 600 plant workers suspected of being in the country illegally.
About 100 of the 595 detained workers were released for humanitarian reasons, many of them mothers who were fitted with electronic monitoring bracelets and allowed to go home to their children, officials said.
About 475 other workers were transferred to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Jena, La. Nine who were under 18 were transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
This story also shows the importance of cracking down on the employers of illegal immigrants. I mean, are you going to tell me that this company–Howard Industries–didn’t know it had 600 alleged illegals working for it? Please.
Let’s keep the pressure on the government because it’s working–slowly, but surely.
MSNBC in Disarray

In the following clip, former Congressman and current MSNBC host, Joe Scarborough, exposes the former Fox News and current MSNBC reporter, David Shuster, for the liberal he is:
Not only is this clip entertaining, just look at Chris Matthews sitting idly by while this goes on, Scarborough is also right on the topic. He’s saying what we’ve been saying for two or three months now: If Nouri al-Maliki wants to be greedy and kick us out now, that’s fine. But don’t come crying back, pleading for security assistance when Iraq is taken over again.
Kudos to Joe Scarborough on both accounts–calling out Shuster and Maliki.
Jesse Jackson Jr. Compares Obama’s Nomination to the Revolution, Civil War

Yes, it would seem, at least according to Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., that Barry Hussein’s nomination is right up there with the American Revolution, Civil War, and Selma, Al. Just listen to the first minute and a half or so of the following clip:
So Barry’s nomination is historically equal to our War for Independence? The Democrat’s nominating a black man for President is along the same line of fighting for our freedom? Does anyone really believe this? Unfortunately yes.
The Democrats are all about exploiting minorities, yet the exploited minorities don’t care. Why?

Affirmative-Action Ban on Ballots in Colorado and Nebraska
Posted on August 25, 2008
Filed Under Affirmative-Action | Leave a Comment
There is a movement underway in Nebraska and Colorado to allow its citizens to ban the unnecessary and discriminatory Affirmative-Action program:
Nebraska on Friday joined Colorado as one of two places where voters will decide whether to end programs that increase minority and female participation in government and education.
Chief proponent Ward Connerly, a California management consultant who successfully ran similar campaigns in California, Washington and Michigan, says he expects the fight will be tougher in Colorado.
Connerly says the campaign has spent about $3 million to place the initiative on ballots in the five states.
He is sending national staff from his advocacy group, American Civil Rights Institute, to review signatures that Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer disqualified Thursday.
Connerly plans to return to Missouri next year to try to get an amendment back on the ballot there. He says he believes in offering more opportunities to individuals based on socioeconomic conditions, not gender or race.
“For those who say, ‘Look, the measure did not make the ballots in all those states,’ they are clearly not looking at the big picture,” he says. “This is not a sprint, it’s a marathon.”
Now of course there are groups out there trying to prevent these initiatives of being on the ballots. Why? Are they afraid that the citizens of Colorado and Nebraska see through the racket that is Affirmative-Action?
Isn’t this a country “of the People, by the People, and for the People?” Then let’s allow the People to decide if they want Affirmative-Action, not some liberal lawyer, judge, or special interest group backed by the Affirmative-Action hucksters.
Proportionate vs. Disproportionate Response
Posted on August 18, 2008
Filed Under War on Terror | Leave a Comment
President Bush recently characterized Russia’s military incursion into South Ossetia as “disproportionate.” That got me thinking about this whole liberal idea on warfare: proportionality.
What is proportionate in warfare? You bomb one of our command and control facilities and we’ll bomb one of yours? Or you killed 2,000 of our citizens so we’re going to kill 2,000 of yours? Come on. War is not a game of tag.
Why don’t we look at what one of our greatest generals has to say about war:
War is simple, direct, and ruthless.
Those are the words of General George S. Patton. He’s exactly right. War isn’t neat, tidy, and proportionate–at least not if you want to survive and a send a message to the enemy.
I bring this up not because I support Russia’s aggression (anyone who has read this blog consistently should know that I have been warning about the dangers of Russia), but because I believe that Bush’s use of the term “disproportionate” response illuminates why we’re losing the War on Terror.
We have fought this war liberally and with a proportionate response mentality. This is precisely why we’re still in Iraq and al-Qaeda is regrouping in Pakistan. It’s also why Iran is defying the West at every turn.
Until our politicians posses the bravery of our servicemen and women, we’re going to be more concerned about offending the enemy and the World than we we are about not just defeating the enemy, but obliterating it.
U.S., Poland Strike Missile Defense Deal

Think the timing of the finalization of this deal is just a coincidence?
The United States and Poland reached a long-stalled deal on Thursday to place an American missile defense base on Polish territory, in the strongest reaction so far to Russia’s military operation in Georgia.
But the deal reflected growing alarm in countries like Poland, once a conquered Soviet client state, about a newly rich and powerful Russia’s intentions in its former cold war sphere of power. In fact, negotiations dragged on for 18 months — but were completed only as old memories and new fears surfaced in recent days.
Those fears were codified to some degree in what Polish and American officials characterized as unusual aspects of the final deal: that at least temporarily American soldiers would staff air defense sites in Poland oriented toward Russia, and that the United States would be obliged to defend Poland in case of an attack with greater speed than required under NATO, of which Poland is a member.
Needless to say Russia isn’t thrilled, and in fact, they’re making threats:
An agreement that will allow the United States to install a missile defense battery in Poland exposes the ex-communist nation to an attack, a Russian general said Friday.
Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, deputy chief of the Russian general staff told reporters Friday that the agreement exacerbates U.S.-Russian relations that are already tense because of fighting between Georgian and Russian forces. He said the deal “cannot go unpunished.”
And in the strongest threat Russia has issued in reaction to plans to put elements of a missile defense system in former Soviet satellite nations, the Interfax news agency quoted Nogovitsyn as saying Poland was risking attack.
“Poland, by deploying (the system) is exposing itself to a strike — 100 percent,” Interfax quoted Nogovitsyn as saying.
And the hits just keep on coming.
