Code Pink’s Media Benjamin managed to break into another presidential event on Thursday, namely Barack Obama’s speech at the National Defense University. The topic was “U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy,” meaning that the administration’s aversion to the T-word seems to be diminishing as the damaging scandal-related news continues to pour in.

Readers will see that Benjamin was relatively civil towards Obama. In fact, Kathleen Hennessey and Christi Parsons at the Los Angeles Times wrote the following: “Rather than dismiss Benjamin as a heckler, the president engaged her, asking her to let him explain but also pausing to listen as she continued to talk while security closed in around her.” That behavior is in direct contrast to how she behaved last decade during the Bush administration — something never mentioned in any coverage of Thursday’s speech I found. The full exchange with Obama followed by a recounting of what made Benjamin an overnight sensation in Sepetmber 2002, follow the jump.

Occasionally, we sometimes hear from people who believe that liberal media bias isn’t really that big of an issue because most people don’t really trust reporters to tell the truth…

In Thursday and Friday posts at the “Politico 44: A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency,” Jennifer Epstein relayed the announcement that President Barack Obama has nominated Victoria Nuland as the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs.

In other words, the President is defiantly giving the person who was integrally involved in altering the Benghazi talking points until they bore no resemblance to what really happened a promotion. In her first item, Epstein acted as if Republicans are the only ones who might have a problem with this. In her second item, she found two usual-suspect GOP senators who said they’d be okay being walked over. Excerpts follow the jump.

If you have any lingering doubts about which way MSNBC “leans,” you don’t need to look any farther than the cable channel’s coverage of President Obama’s speech on Thursday regarding foreign relations and national security.

At times, it seemed that each MSNBC host or contributor was trying to outdo the other with fawning cheers over the latest address from the Democratic occupant of the White House, ranging from “momentous” to “remarkable.”

Day in the Life of Joe Republican (The Prog-Off Workshop)

PROG OFF

Rebuttal.jpg
If the text below were to be posted on the People’s Cube without an introduction, it could easily pass as a prog-on spoof of liberal absurdities. Hence this prog-off intro. Let’s make it part of our People’s Cube workshop on the subject of buttals and rebuttals.

This story has been floating around the progosphere since 2004. Attributed to John Gray of Cincinnati, Ohio, it was later popularized on Thom Hartman’s radio show and posted on YouTube. I learned of it after it had been inserted, in its entirety, into a comment under my recent essay on Prog Chauvinism at FrontPage Mag (soon to be posted on the Cube). Meant to refute my points about the prog-assault on the rest of us “for our own good,” it actually serves as an illustration to these points.

Shoot_Foot.jpg
The “story” about Joe Republican may be nine years old, but it still regularly appears in various prog-blogs, posted by studious proggers, who must like it because it perfectly captures the proggish zeitgeist, or proggeist for short. As such, it deserves our attention.

Proggeist generally results in acting like an immature, frightened child, who cries for state control to protect him from what he doesn’t understand in this world. Without such control, the world would be filled with all kinds of scary things and products that must somehow grow by themselves like weeds, and so they need to be organized, cultivated, and harvested by the government.

Marxists (and every garden-variety prog with them) like to refer to their outlook as “historically optimistic” because they believe in an inevitable “progress” of humanity towards the collectivist utopia.

In reality, however, their beliefs end up with the notion that …

Doctor Utopia: IRS Destroyed Occupy Wall Street

IN THE NEWS The Current Truth Network, Washington D.C. — In a rare public appearance, the head of the Karl Marx Treatment Center, the extraordinary Doctor Utopia, confirmed today that the wrongdoing on the part of the IRS due to the conflicted policies it has had to interpret and labor under, stemming from the partisan political Supreme Court finding of the Citizen’s United case, did in fact result in many other groups than just Right Wing groups being targeted.

“It is simply flat out wrong to say that only Right Wing groups were targeted by the IRS,” he stated.

“The IRS destroyed the Occupy Wall Street movement and several other nascent democratic groups whose purposes were to foster democracy and self-government. The vast Right Wing conspiracy would use this simple short circuit in the system as if a crisis to be used against our government. The simple fact is, it proves we need more stronger government in order to better serve the people.”

Tina Brown’s Daily Beast knows how to rally around Obama and dismiss the IRS scandal. They posted an article headlined “Former NPR CEO Ken Stern: The IRS Had the Right Idea.” In other words, State-Subsidized Media Vet Sounds Like State-Run Media.

Stern, dumped in 2008 after 18 months as NPR’s CEO, argued the IRS is way too toothless with nonprofits: “In the haste to trigger the next administration-crippling ‘gate,’ these analyses have largely ignored one of the most surprising aspects of this entire episode — that the IRS was actually trying to do its job.”

MSNBC anchors have itching for fresh federal gun control legislation long before the Newtown shooting last December, but the network went into overdrive with the push and hasn’t looked back. Although the president’s push for gun control is on the administration’s back burner at the moment, the network is still feverishly seeking to keep gun control at the forefront of the national discussion, even and especially if it means using kids as props to do so.  

Take Thomas Roberts, who on the May 24 edition of his 11 a.m. MSNBC Live program interviewed 7-year old Myles Nelson who imaginatively “came up with an idea for using chocolate bullets instead of real ones in the aftermath of the Newtown shooting.”
