Yellow journalism alive and well at MSNBC

FEMA can’t win for losing. For years we’ve been hearing about how horrible conditions are for the poor Black Katrina refugees living in trailer parks established by FEMA following the hurricane. Sensational reports alleging neglegence on behalf of the Feds for providing formaldehyde-laden temporary housing have been constantly fueling cries of racism and anti-Bush sentiment and further hyped the vicimization of these poor, helpless people.

So earlier today, I read this article at MSNBC about how the government hopes to clear out the last of these trailers by this weekend and thought, “well, at last we’re trying to bring closure to the TEMPORARY housing.” It was clear from the article, however, that it was unlikely and that FEMA even acknowledges that it is unlikely to happen by Sunday, despite their best efforts and hopes.

But tonight, I was outraged to see the link on the main page at MSN to read, “Katrina trailer families getting kicked out.” Such yellow, outrageous headlines underscore the zealousness MSNBC has employed lately in bad-mouthing anything done by the Bush administration. This headline is an outrage. They are not being kicked out. This is another blatant shot, meant to make FEMA and Bush look bad. Meant to hold those poor savages living in those heaps down in the chains of being slaves to the welfare mire we call federal assistance.

Don’t get me wrong, they SHOULD BE kicked out, but they aren’t. These people have been mooching off the “gubbermint” long enough. Time for them to do something crazy and bold- stand on their own two feet and take control of their lives.

The trailers were a temporary fix. Temporary being the operative word. These families are living in squallor; living in trailers meant to be used for days or weeks at a time, not lived in for 3 years. It’s high time we force these ‘victims’ out and make them do something about their situation. Remember- all of the refugees were given a chance to get out of the Louisiana area and the offer was extended to get them established anywhere they wanted. Hundreds of refugees were flown in here to Utah. Many of them, once they found out where they were, decided to look the gift horse in the mouth and insisted on being flown back to a flooded, uninhabitable 9th Ward. Some of them, though, used the opportunity and bettered their lives. They have homes they can afford and jobs that give them the dignity and self-respect they deserve.

If I woke up tomorrow without a house, without a job, and nothing but the clothes on my back, I would not sit around in a trailer for three years feeling sorry for myself.

Please, Obama, quit your bellyaching!!!

Once again, the media is rushing to bash Bush and portray poor Barry Obama as the abused whipping boy in pursuit of the Presidency…(see this pathetic MSNBC article for full slant)

In a speech to Israel’s Knesset, Bush said:

“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.

We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

Personally, this is one of the more intelligent things I’ve seen quoted by Bush in a long, long time. But poor little Obama took it as a personal attack, leading to the headline “Obama blasts Bush over ‘Nazi’ comments.” Obama’s “blast” was to whine,

“It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 60th anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack,” Obama said in the statement his aides distributed. “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the president’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”

It’s not all about you, dip-stick! I did, however, find it amusing that he would take this as a direct shot. Perhaps Bush’s comments hit too close to home for Barak’s comfort. Truth hurts, I guess. Of course, Nancy Pelosi had to take offense as well. Again, it seems the dems are a little defensive about being seen as the passive appeasers they are…

“I think that what the president did in that regard was beneath the dignity of the office of president and unworthy of our representation at that observance in Israel.

I would hope that any serious person would disassociate himself with the president’s remarks…

Nancy shows once again what a lame-duck moron she really is. Where is your plan for reducing gas prices you promised us in the last election?

Note to Obama “backers”: Stop whining!

In a pathetic, biased, and rediculous story in the Washington Post and re-posted through MSN, Obama’s “foot soldiers” are whining and sniveling, claiming they are the victims of hate and racism. They are “alarmed” at “a level of anti-black sentiment that none of them had anticipated.”

I knew the day would come when the media would start this kind of whining, but with the Democratic primary still not settled, there is no reason for this Bravo Sierra. They are already playing the racism card for Obama. I don’t care that he is black. Most Americans overwhelmingly have no issue with his race. I can’t stand Obama for a myriad of reasons, the least of which the fact that he’s black. Here’s a few reasons why Obama should NOT be president of the United States:

• He has contempt for the United States
• His religion is founded on bigotry and contempt for the U.S.
• He is a Socialist and will substantially raise taxes, killing our economy
• He is a liar and poor judge of character
• He is an elitist and associates himself with people who are anti-American and anti-establishment
• He is a inexperienced, naieve, and has little grip on reality

None of these have anything to do with the fact he’s black. Could I post a litany of hateful and derrogatory words for Obama? Sure, but like most Americans, I am not looking at Obama as a black or a man or a black man, rather as a man who wants to be president of the US and leader of the free world.

The problem is this is only the first salvo in a battle of horror stories of a few pathetic Obama chumps getting their feelings hurt. They are blowing what they are told out of proportion. You can’t tell me that every person they met on the streets of Muncie is a racist. You CAN disagree with Obama, not like him, and not be a racist. It is not only possible, but a general rule.

Ex-Gitmo prisoner carries out suicide attack

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – The U.S. military confirmed Wednesday that a former Guantanamo detainee from Kuwait carried out a recent suicide attack in northern Iraq.

A spokesman for U.S. military’s Central Command told The Associated Press that Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi took part in an attack in Mosul.

U.S. Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye said authorities don’t know the motive for the attack, which was reported last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television. Iraqi security forces were apparently targeted.

The U.S. transferred al-Ajmi to Kuwaiti custody from Guantanamo in 2005. A Kuwaiti court later acquitted him of terrorism charges.

Disney and soft kiddie porn?

Unfrickin’believable…Here’s an article from Slate about a Disney billboard in China. Pretty sickening, hard to know if Disney really knew about this or not. I guess they are pulling it…

A refreshing story of Scout…no sex, no lies, no queers.

It’s been a long, long time since we’ve seen a story in any mainstream news report that puts the Boy Scouts of America in a good light. A young 11 year old scout in Michigan found a wallet after a scout meeting about a week ago. It had $800 cash in it and the boy did the right thing. He turned it over to police who found the owner. Here’s the full story from MSN.com.
