Glenn Beck has been asking for quite some time for answers to the questions he has been asking.
He has been asking about Van Jones, Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd, Jeff Jones, ACORN, SEIU, as well as many other individuals and issues. All of the individuals and organizations Beck has called into question have ties to the Obama White House.
Beck has also said that if The White House issues corrections to anything Beck states, he will absolutely lead with those corrections, as he does not want to be a purveyor of misinformation.
Tuesday on his Fox News Channel show, Beck spent quite a bit of the show discussing the 2016 Olympics, and how Obama's trip to Copenhagen was, in Beck's opinion, made primarily in an effort to pay back those from Chicago who are deeply embedded in Obama's support system.
Wednesday afternoon the White House issued corrections to some of Beck's statements. They wrote about the fact that Beck misspoke and said Vancouver had lost $1 billion on their Olympics. Turns out what Glenn meant to say was Calgary, home of the 1996 Winter Games. Also mentioned were some points about a discussion Beck had with Pat Cadell regarding Valerie Jarrett and her connection to the NEA scandal.
Clifton B. over at Another Black Conservative has an excellent breakdown of the events as they transpired up to that point, including a link to a piece at FrontPage Magazine that details all of Valerie Jarrett’s special relationships.
Today Beck did exactly what he said he would do: he led both his radio and television show with corrections. Here are the two audio segments from the radio show, as well as the opening segment of the television show.
Tonight during his "News Hour" on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann named Rush Limbaugh as one of his "Worst Persons in the World."
Listen to Olbermann describe Rush's show and lie about the age of the boy in question, as Rush describes Kevin Jennings' statements about the situation that took place some years ago:
However, here is audio of Kevin Jennings discussing this situation:
In addition to the fact that Olbermann diminishes his own credibility with his attempted mockery of those with whom he disagrees, he often lies or uses out-of-context clips to support his statements.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show tonight on MSNBC, and between host and guest liberal hypocrisy was on full display.
Maddow attempted to equate Grayson's "Holocaust" rhetoric to statements made by Republican representatives. She actually had a little bit of a point, in the sense that it has taken some extreme statements by those on the right to awaken the masses to the oncoming socialistic monstrosity known as "health care reform."
However, she went over the top in the number of Republican quotes she used, and there came a point where the quotes she played were actually based in hard fact, therefore invalidating her comparison completely.
Maddow attempted to regain some credibility by offering criticizm of Grayson, stating that his remarks could be "part of that inflammatory montage" and were a "departure from the civility that you would hope to see in political debate in Congress." However, she then tried to go back to slamming Republicans, saying that due to their previous remarks it is ridiculous of Republicans to demand an apology from Grayson.
As she introduced Grayson, Maddow asked if he meant his words literally. He attempted to say that it was all tounge-in-cheek; then proceeded change the subject by stating that Republicans have no plan for health insurance reform. This is simply untrue, as seen in this outline available for all to read. Additionally, Republicans have been pigeonholed in committee on more than one occasion since this issue again became the national debate.
To be fair to Maddow, she attempted to pin Grayson down to the Third Reich reference invoked by his rhetoric. He waffled twice, attempting to deflect the issue back to words said by Republicans, and raising issues like "44,000 people dying every year because they don't have health care" which is an open-ended and unverifiable number meant to pull at heart strings.
Upon her third request for his opinion as to whether or not he thought "Holocaust" was appropriate, he finally offered an explanation of sorts. As Maddow nodded her head in agreement, Grayson said:
"It may not have been the best choice of words, but my words don't matter, that's not what's important here. What's important is that we do what we need to do, that we solve these problems."
When given a chance to truly call out one of her own, she nods like the good media sheep that she is and allows Grayson to attempt to diminish the importance of his own words. After Maddow just browbeat the hell out of Conservatives for their "hateful rhetoric," as has been done by the entire left-wing media since the beginning of this discussion to anyone who offers a dissenting opinion, she does not stop him and at least make some small effort to put Grayson in his place? Fascinating, to say the least.
Grayson then goes back to the party line of "Republicans do nothing, all they do is block everything." Maddow then opens up the opportunity for Grayson's Grand Finale, and it indeed is grand.
She asks what would be the best method for Democrats to fight Republicans, complimenting him on how he's taken a very "rhetorical stand" as a legislator, just as he campaigned... funny, didn't we just discuss how rhetoric and argumentative stances are not what's best - if a Republican is doing it?
I'm not going to tell you how it ended... but if you want to shortcut, jump in at about the 9:00 mark...
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) said Tuesday that "If you get sick, America, the Republican health care plan is this: die quickly. That's right. The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick."
His remarks weren't spontaneous: He reinforced the point with signs saying the same thing.
In an effort to apologize for this stroke of genius, Grayson Wednesday said "I would like to apologize,” he said. “I apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to end this holocaust in America."
His sarcasm, delivered on the House floor, drew a swift rebuke from the National Republican Congressional Committee, which hopes to see Grayson defeated in an Orlando-based swing district next year.
Grayson told reporters he’s not worried at all about a backlash from voters and instead thinks his chances for re-election have been boosted.
"It improves them," he said. "People like elected officials with guts who say what they mean."
Yesterday I posted about a situation between a Kiosk owner and the management of the Mall at Johnson City in Tennessee.
Dan Fuchs, owner of the Graphic Edge, was given an eviction notice by the management of the aforementioned mall, based on "complaints from customers" regarding some items on display. Fuchs' kiosk sold many items, some of which were special order items. He chose to display some of these special order items, many of which were items with an "anti-Obama" message.
Fuchs said mall officials met with him and told him to take down the anti-Obama items on display or face immediate eviction. Fuchs said these items were taken down, yet he still was evicted from the mall.
Today I received a comment on that article, from "Graphic," which read:
“We thank all the viewers, readers and listeners for your ongoing support. Your responses, emails and telephone calls have been overwhelming.
