A Democrat Mentioned Bundy on Fox, Fox Host Immediately Cuts Him Off – Video

You all know the story that the New York Times broke, a brand new story that showed Cliven Bundy to be an in your face racist. Fox News, as I’m sure you know, has been defending Bundy from day one, with multiple interviews on the so-called “news” network and promoting his story as if he’s the second coming of Christ. But since the Times story broke, Fox News has avoided the story like it’s the plague.

Today, Fox tried to avoid Bundy and continue their usual talking points sharing any and all stories about Obama and what they think are Obama’s failures. They had a panel and a topic – The Keystone Pipeline and the fact that Obama is not working fast enough to approve the darn thing.

Among the panelists was Joe Trippi, a non apologetic Democrat who, after making his statement on the Pipeline tried to throw in a comparison to the racist Cliven Bundy, but before he could finish his statement, the Fox Host was tripping all over herself trying to keep the story from getting out to their Fox audience.

Trippi pointed out that delays in approving the pipeline were connected to a court case in Nebraska.

“And the same people, by the way, who argue about Bundy ranch that the feds are coming in…” was all that Trippi could say before being cut off by Carlson.

“Alright, let’s not bring that into this discussion,” she said reflexively. “I don’t want to bring that into this discussion!”

At that point, she turned to the conservative guest to get the segment back on track.

A New Low For New York Post – Writes “an open letter to Chelsea Clinton’s fetus”

The Republican outlet better known as the New York Post sank to a new low. In what they call at “letter” to Chelsea’s Fetus, the post parroted the usual nonsense from the Republicans and from Fox News, calling the pregnancy “campaign asset” and “stage prop” for “Lady Pantsuit'”

Here’s part of the post gutter sweeping.

Dear Baby Clinton-Mezvinsky:

Welcome to advanced gestation! Since you’re new around here, I thought you’d like to know a little bit about what makes you so special. The reason is, you’re going to live your whole life in make-believe!

Do you know the fairy stories about a princess in a castle? Well, you get to be that real-life prince or princess, in a real-life castle where Mommy Chelsea is also a princess, Grandma is about to be crowned Queen, and Grandpa Bill is a retired ex-King with lots of helpful advice on ruling the kingdom, er, monarchy. (Your other grandma and grandpa were both a kind of court vassal called Congressmen. Oopsies, other grandpa, Edward Mezvinsky, even went to something called “prison,” which is kind of like a big, cozy crib! Can you say “wire fraud”? Good, you can’t! Don’t! Around here we pretend Grandpa isn’t a criminal!)

Inside the castle towers you will find that Mommy, Mommy’s mommy and Mommy’s daddy Bill are all really good at make-believe games. So you get to pretend all the time! Mommy’s mommy and Mommy’s daddy even pretend to still be married even though they’ve been living hundreds of miles apart for 14 years!

Before you were even born your mommy’s mommy pretended that it’s a completely normal thing to announce your own grandchild’s birth to the world at a joint press appearance with your mom, hosted on Skype and live-streamed. With America Ferrera!

If you’re not already nauseated, the rest of the “letter” is here.

Nut Boy Louis Gohmert Wants Attorney General Eric Holder Arrested

Louie Gohmert is a nut! A very nutty nut. And that’s the only reason he was elected to Congress, because his base – The Teaparty – loves nutty nuts!

Gohmert has said and done some nutty things too, and right up there with the rest of them is his nutty call to Congress to arrest the Attorney General,  Eric Holder.

In an interview on Friday with the Family Research Council’s Washington Watch, Gohmert, the brainchild of the Republican party called for Holder’s arrest.

“When you have someone like an attorney general who is in contempt of Congress, what can we do? Someone in contempt of Congress comes waltzing into the House chamber and he’s in contempt of Congress as found by the Congress, what can be done? I was told that actually you can pass a resolution directing the sergeant at arms to detain anyone who is in contempt of Congress until such time as they comply with the requirement that put him in contempt. In this case, they didn’t provide information from the Justice Department, they had it, they refused to provide it, we found him in contempt.”

It remains to be seen if Congressional Republicans will heed Gohmert call. After all, they are a leaderless group and anyone with something to say, no matter how nutty, gets airtime. Watch this space.

Right Wing News – Fox News Concludes, Chelsea Clinton’s Baby Is For Politics

This is the news the far right-wing nuts are interested in and it is why they diligently tune into Fox. Where else would you hear stuff like Chelsea Clinton’s pregnancy is a political ploy for the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign?

On Sunday, Fox talking head Laura Ashburn, speaking to Fox’s Howard Kurtz, explained that being cynical about Chelsea’s pregnancy is a good thing because… Hillary!

“You’ve been in this town for how many years, and you don’t have a cynical bone in your body?” Ashburn said to Kurtz. “I think a lot of reporters think maybe this was planned.”

She later continued;

“We do have to realize that this is Hillary Clinton, she’s most likely running for president. It hasn’t been good for her. A lot of people say she’s too old. And so, there is coverage.”

Roll the video tape please.

Easter Egghunt Discovery – Dead Body Under Backyard Deck

The mother planned an easter egg hunt in her backyard for her 4 year old child. During the egghunt on wednesday something else was found, a decomposing body.

Knoxville Police have identified the body of the man found during an Easter egg hunt earlier this week.

KPD said the man is Joshua Wayne Grubb, 29, a homeless man from Knoxville. Officials are still waiting for results of his autopsy, but say they believe he died of natural causes.

The body was found by a mother who was having an Easter egg hunt for her four-year-old child in the back yard, according to Knoxville police. Officials said the body had been there for about two weeks.

The woman told police she had smelled a foul odor outside her home on Forest View Road for several days. She tried to find the source of the smell a couple of times during the week to no avail.

When someone cut the woman’s grass earlier this week, she asked the person mowing to search for whatever was creating the foul odor in the yard. The person cutting the grass also did not notice the corpse beneath the deck.

Wednesday night at 7:19 p.m., the mother noticed the smell again during the Easter egg hunt and was finally able to locate the body.

Body Found In Plastic Storage Container On Brooklyn Street

Police are questioning a suspect after a body was found stuffed in a plastic storage container in the middle of a street in Brooklyn. According to cops, a passer-by made the discovery in front of a home on East 54th Street in Flatlands at about 12:30 p.m. Saturday. According to CBS, a Brooklyn nightclub owner called police to report that a bouncer at the club admitted to him that he’d killed a man.

Police have not identified the suspect. “Somebody was killed over there by somebody they knew and we have nothing to worry about,” neighbor Lynn Kerschner said police told her.

Neighbor Chris Savareace told CBS that he was friends with the victim, who goes by the nickname Chino. “I don’t know what made somebody so mad to do that to him. I heard they put him in a box, that’s what I heard from the cops. There’s some kind of people in the world that really ain’t that with it anymore,” he said.

Almost 100 Hate Crime Killings Linked To One Website: Report

Stormfront.org is linked to close to 100 killings in the last five years, the Southern Poverty Law Center found.

From the Guardian:

The White Nationalist web forum Stormfront.org says it promotes values of “the embattled white minority,” and its users include Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a 2011 massacre in Norway, and Wade Michael Page, who shot and killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012.
The SPLC said ten murderers had links to Stormfront.

“It’s pretty clear that websites like Stormfront are breeding grounds for people who are just enraged at their situation, it’s there that people find the reasons their lives aren’t as they had hoped and Stormfront helps them find the enemy that is standing in their way – whether it be Jews, African Americans, immigrants and so on,” Heidi Beirich, report author and a director at the SPLC’s Intelligence Project told the Guardian. “Unfortunately it’s not very surprising that people who live in this kind of stew of violent racism eventually pick up a gun and do something about it at some point.”

NBC News reports that Frazier Glenn Cross, the man accused of killing three people at two Jewish community sites in suburban Kansas City on April 13, was barred from Stormfront because of disagreements with the site’s founder.

The report calls Stormfront the “murder capital of the Internet.” SPLC’s research shows the site typically only gets about 1,800 visits a day, half of which are people outside the U.S.

But the site has a core group of very active users, and Stormfront’s “bias-related murder rate” accelerated significantly after Barack Obama became president, the report found.

Earlier this week, CNN reported that, in America, people who follow far-right wing ideologies have been responsible for more killings than Islamic extremists since September 11.

CNN notes that, according to a count by the New America Foundation, “right wing extremists have killed 34 people in the United States for political reasons since 9/11” whereas “terrorists motivated by al Qaeda’s ideology have killed 21 people in the United States since 9/11.”

Video: Medical Intern Assaulted By Rikers Inmate

A 24-year-old medical intern was viciously assaulted by an inmate at Rikers Island this week. Joseph McRae was caught on surveillance video punching Stephanie Porcelli in the lockup’s George R. Vierno Center around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Porcelli suffered a broken jaw and multiple facial fractures in the unprovoked attack. You can see video of it below.

In the video, you can see McRae feigning a punch before actually doing so; it’s unclear whether Porcelli spoke to him before he punched her, sending her flying onto her back. Porcelli underwent surgery on Friday for her facial injuries. McRae, 24, was arrested in July 2013 and charged with two counts of assault for allegedly striking two women in the face at Penn Station.

Ex-Cop Accused of Killing Wife In Front Of Kids Told People He Would “Kill This B**** One Day”

Yesterday, a former NYPD officer was arrested for allegedly fatally shooting his wife in front of their two small children in Queens. Former officer Kevin Canty, 43, has been accused of killing his wife, 40-year-old Jessica Mera. Friends and neighbors told the News that the couple fought a lot, and Canty would often threaten his wife. “He told more than one person—’I’m gonna kill this bitch one day,'” said 22-year-old Shanique Varlack. “Everybody is just so distraught. He’s a cop. He’s supposed to protect us. He took an oath and now? He’s a murderer. She did not deserve to die.”

Canty allegedly shot Mera inside the couple’s home on 104th Street near 101st Avenue in Ozone Park just before 11 a.m. Saturday. Their two kids, a 4-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy, were in the house at the time. “The boy told me personally: ‘My dad shot my mom and there’s blood all over,'” a neighbor who asked to remain anonymous told the News. “My wife heard gunshots and the kids were running out on the street. They were banging on car doors as cars were passing by. They were trying to get help, someone to listen to them.”

Canty was a Manhattan transit cop before retiring last year with a disability; he was previously praised by the NYPD on Facebook for his part in saving the life of a man who suffered a heart attack at the Union Square subway station in July 2012.

“He’s kind of a scary guy, kind of intimidating. You got to talk to him for him to talk to you,” said neighbor Danny Ali. “He told me he was a detective. About a year ago, I saw he had a broken hand. He said he broke it in a fight. He wouldn’t say more about it.”

“They were always fighting. They’d fight outside, they would fight everywhere,” said neighbor Joanne Bagley. “They were not a happy couple. I guess it was inevitable.”

The News adds that Canty repeatedly banged his head against the inside of a squad car window after he was arrested. “They are going through a really tough time right now,” someone who identified himself as Mera’s friend told them. “You have no idea what this family has been through — this is only the tip of the iceberg.”

Surf Magazine Sued Over Racist Article, Author Responds With Threatening Letter

Surfing Life, an Australian surf publication, is facing a $200,000 lawsuit for a story that described Indigenous Australian surfer Otis Carey as being “apeish” and comparing him to the late stone age’s Cro-Magnon.

According to the surf website The Inertia, Carey is suing the article’s author Nathan Myers and the surfing magazine owned by Morrison Media for defamation of character and seeking $200,000 in “emotional damages.” The story was published in the March issue of Surfing Life, and the passage in-question reads:

“With his apeish face and cowering hair-curtains, I expect little more than Cro-Magnon grunts from his mouth. I am caught off guard by the clarity and eloquence of his speech.”

In response to the suit, Myers penned an open letter to Carey, which The Inertia published on Monday, but it didn’t do much to appease his critics. In it, he reiterates his apology but also criticizes Carey’s decision to file suit. “I think you’re a fine human,” Myers wrote, “And I also think you’re making a mistake.”

In the letter, Myers calls the lawsuit “unreasonable” and explains that the term “apeish” was “intended to convey the folly of [his] own ill-conceived first impression” of Carey, citing Carey’s “dark, gritty” surf film “Kill the Matador.” Myers also says that the lawsuit could put Surfing Life and its staff of “career world travelers” and “open minded people” out of business, warning Carey that he risks putting his own reputation on the line.

“You do realize of course,” Myers says, “that surf magazines are how freesurfers like you make your living, right? … Is this how you want to be remembered by surfing? The man who killed the magazine?”

Critics slammed Myers on Twitter for using a threatening tone in his response to Carey’s suit:
Surfing Line was quick to offer an official apology after the original story was published, claiming that they had no racist intent and that they “read the offending term as a jibe at the stereotypical surfer.” They also noted that their editor Wade Davis is “a man of colour whose maternal family immigrated to Australia from Africa,” a comment that further enraged their Twitter critics:
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time an Indigenous Australian athlete has been subjected to racist comments. Last year, Indigenous rugby player Adam Goodes was offended when a young girl called him an “ape” from the sidelines. The 13 year old apologized to the rugby star and told reporters it was meant to be a joke, but Goodes saw it as a larger problem in Australian society.

“It’s an issue about what our parents are teaching our kids. I never want anyone to feel what it’s like to be abused verbally about your race, about being black, about your appearance.”

“To come to the boundary line and hear a 13-year-old girl call me an ‘ape’,” he told news reporters, “and it’s not the first time on a footy field that I’ve been referred to as a ‘monkey’ or an ‘ape’, it was shattering.”

Woman Wants Abortion So She Can Be On ‘Big Brother’

An aspiring glamour model who had a £5,000 breast enlargement on the NHS is planning to abort her baby to appear on Big Brother.

The 24-year-old who is four-and-a-half months pregnant said: ‘This time next year I won’t have a baby. I’ll be famous instead.’

Josie Cunningham, 24, who sparked outrage when she had the operation to enhance her bust, is now pregnant after falling into a life of prostitution.

Josie Cunningham said she wants to terminate her pregnancy in a bid to star on the next series of Big Brother.

She told the Sunday Mirror: ‘An abortion will further my career. This time next year I won’t have a baby. Instead I’ll be famous, driving a bright pink Range Rover and buying a big house. Nothing will get in my way.’

Ms Cunningham said she had been on the shortlist to appear on the reality TV show but was reluctant to proceed because of her pregnancy.

‘At first I thought thank God, it’s a footballer or a doctor and not a Big Issue seller and they have money.’

She added: ‘I want to be famous for being me – Josie Cunningham, a glamour model in my own right. If I want to do that I need to put my career first.’

Ms Cunningham posted an image of her baby’s scan for her 927 followers on Twitter.
