Comment: There are millions of women who listen to and respect Rush Limbaugh. With her comments, Ms. Garofalo insulted every one of them. But insults seem to slip off the tongue with great ease for many on the left.

Comment: From his comment, are we to believe Mr. Gates is among those who are so concerned about world over-population, that he wishes to "kill off" some of the population? If so, he joins others, such as Jacques Cousteau, John Davis, David Foreman, Prince Philip, and Paul Watson, among others.

Quote
"Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination, out of scraps of history and hope. [. . .] Barack Hussein Obama did not win because of the color of his skin. Nor did he win in spite of it. He won because at a very dangerous moment in the life of a still young country, more people than have ever spoken before came together to try to save it. And that was a victory all its own."

Comment: Comparing Obama to nobility and even to Jesus Christ is not a stretch for many in the mainstream media. To them he is indeed a messiah, and he will deliver us to the promised land of unfettered liberalism. Such extreme partisanship, of course, should not be mistaken for journalism.

Comment: So, in a like manner, I guess OJ's killing of Nicole Brown wasn't really "murder-murder." I guess the rule is if you like the perpetrator of a heinous crime, it isn't really heinous at all. So let's not provide equal treatment under the law. Phooey on what the Constitution says. Go easy on the guys and gals loved by the left. Slam those on the right.

Comment: Note the arrogance, the contempt, the disdain. Ronald Reagan had the last laugh, but the insolence of the media continues unabated. Media power has been dominant for decades and remains so, and those at the helm have been well aware of their strength and influence. Moreover, they have not been timid in exercising that power to achieve their liberal objectives.

Comment: As if this statement wasn't outrageous enough, Representative Grayson continued his diatribe the next day when he cited a September 2009 Harvard study that found 44,000 Americans die each year due to being uninsured [I doubt it], and he said, "I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America." On October 8 Grayson gave another speech, in which he stated he would not apologize to the Republican Party. So, did the Democrat leadership criticize his remarks. Of course not.

Quote
"Fox News and their Republican collaborators are the enemy of America. They're the enemy of anybody who cares about health care in this country, the enemy of anybody who cares about educating their children, the enemy of everybody who wants energy independence, or anything good for this country, and certainly the enemy of peace. There's no doubt about that. They are the enemy."

Comment: If something so partisan, so over-the-top, so ridiculous was made by someone on the right, the major media would scream "outrage!" But when it's someone on the loony left who says such idiocy, there's deafening silence.

| Che Guevara
Marxist guerrilla leader, with Fidel Castro, during the Cuban revolution. He became a cultural icon for liberals, leftists, socialists, communists, illegal aliens, and white "hipsters." Ernesto Guevara failed spectacularly at everything he attempted in his life -- except at the mass-murder of defenseless men and boys. Source.

Quote
"Hatred [is] the central element of our struggle! Hatred that is intransigent . . . hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold-blooded killing machine... We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism, rivers of blood must flow! The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! These hyenas are fit only for extermination. We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm! The victory of socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!"

Comment: Che has been implicated in the deaths of thousands -- he said his dream was to become a killing machine, yet he is adored around the world and an image of his face adorns clothing, jewelry, and all sorts of other products. Countless American kids proudly wear the Che icon on their T-shirts, seemingly unaware he stood for racism, the banning of free expression, and for brutal murder and terrorism. Source.
