LGF-the Fail Issue and Attitude From Bitter Gun-Clingers

"To me, the issue is very simple — almost blindingly simple, in fact: openly wishing for political opponents to “FAIL!” is horrendously bad politics." Charles LGF response to Ace of Spades What Has Happened to Little Green Footballs?

So simple I still don't get it. First of all:Politics is a contact sport. Last of all: Politics is a contact sport. What part of CONTACT don't you understand. Wishing your political opponents to "Fail" never bothered Democrats when they Borked Bork or clothesline Clarence Thomas or ridiculed Palin. When Democrats spouted their version of “I want you to fail!” song and dance routine it sure as hell wasn't a giant turn-off to a large segment of the American population. Shoot. You'd think it would have, at the very least cost them the black vote at the sight of the white Senate Judiciary Committee doing the Rodney "can we all get along" King tap dance on Thomas. But no, it sure was not just bad politics — or stupid, self-defeating politics considering who is in the White House now because , of course, The Young Pharaoh ran on a "platform of sheer positive messages.
Wonderful light and love messages like this:

“You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Huffington Post

Yead buddy. Bitter church attending Gun clingers like moi will continue to openly wish Obama and his Supreme Court nominee, Puerto Rico's own Sotomayor, the very best “fail” and if that makes us bitter clingers, mean-spirited, negative, and hands ammunition to our political enemies, well, then just get the hell out of our way. I , for one, do not intend to go politely into that dark fascist night when the yankee government lets the common folk own their own business but then dictates the size of your paycheck on Friday. Nope. I am with Ace on this one:

The Young Pharaoh Must Fail.

Hate Site Comments Suggest Violence Against Missouri Mosque

    FBI asked to probe posts: 'I suppose dynamite would be considered an
extreme response'

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today asked the St. Louis, Mo., office of
the FBI to investigate apparent threats against a local mosque posted on an
anti-Muslim Internet hate site.
 Threatening comments on the Little Green Footballs hate site about a
new minaret being built near that mosque included:

 1. "I suppose dynamite would be considered an extreme response."
 2. "The tower would make a nice target for lots of things... Perhaps
one could start by bombing the thing with pig s**t from a light plane."
 3. "Anyone got some RPGs to coat in pig fat?"
 4. "Would be a shame if it were to be vandalized or destroyed. Just a
shame I tell you....wink wink STL youth."
 "These types of violent comments should not be taken lightly and should
be investigated by state and federal law enforcement authorities," said
CAIR Civil Rights Manager Khadija Athman.
 The apparent threats come following an arson attack on a Tennessee
mosque allegedly by three members of the "Christian Identity" movement and
a fire-bomb attack on a Minnesota Muslim business.

CAIR, as the Council on American-Islamic Relations recently lobbied Congress to help strike its name from a list of co-conspirators in a federal terror case, however, WND has learned the Muslim group's ties to terrorism and extremism are far more extensive than first believed."

a review of federal criminal court documents, past IRS 990 tax records and Federal Election Commission records detailing donor occupations, reveals that Washington-based CAIR has been associated with a disturbing number of convicted terrorists or felons in terrorism probes, as well as suspected terrorists and active targets of terrorism investigations.

"Their offices have been a turnstile for terrorists and their supporters," said one FBI veteran familiar with recent and ongoing cases involving CAIR officials. WND

The Amicus brief filed by CAIR had an interesting post written about it at IPT and the actual membership of about 2,000.

Much has already been written about the amicus brief filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), naming the CT blog (specifically this post) as part of an effort to defame the organization.

From pp. 36-37 of the brief:

Furthermore, the list of unindicted coconspirators has spread and gained notoriety through non-mainstream media, as well, including various "anti-terrorism" weblogs. These weblogs are often extremely biased and inaccurate in their reporting, leading to even more severe damage to the reputation of the unindicted coconspirators.

See, e.g., Feds Name CAIR in Plot to Fund Hamas, WorldNetDaily.com (June 4, 2007) (stating that CAIR, "which brands itself as a mainstream promoter of civil rights has been named with two other prominent U.S. Islamic groups as an ‘unindicted co-conspirator' in a plot to fund the terrorist group Hamas"); HLF Trial Update, Counterterrorismblog.org (June 29, 2007) (writing that "prosecutors have recently named [CAIR] and [ISNA] as Muslim Brotherhood front groups in addition to unindicted co-conspirators" and attaching the unindicted co-conspirator list to the article) (emphasis added)

Clearly, nothing the brief cites in its parenthetical about the post in question is either inaccurate or demonstrably biased. It is simply a recitation of facts and straight reporting.

And speaking of facts, CAIR has a history of refusing to address substantive concerns openly and honestly. Instead, CAIR official routinely obfuscate and deflect the issue at hand in the faint hope that the question or criticism will fade away, and this amicus brief is no exception. For example, on page 10, the brief states:

This negative reaction by the American public can be seen in the decline of membership rates and donations resulting from the government's publicizing of CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator.

And finally, the last word from our favorite aunti-anti-cair

The Dead Baby Media Swam and the Orcs With Dead Souls

Jeroen Oerlemans, The Netherlands, Panos Pictures.
Paramedics show the dead body of a baby to the press after Israeli bombing of Qana, Lebanon, 30 July

Why Jack Burton calls "these people"--- ORCS! From LGF:
"The Qana photographs are some of the most gut-wrenching, heart-breaking images you could ever imagine. And that’s why it’s important to recognize that there are people with souls so dead and intentions so evil that they will cynically use these photographs to manipulate your feelings."

So why did these photographs not get pass the editors desk? "Because,"Charles Johnson says, "it really wrecks the suspension of disbelief that actors need to convince the audience. It's like seeing the scaffolds and lights and fake landscapes behind the scenes at a theater, in the middle of a performance."

The EU Referendum nails it:"This is the omerta of the media mafia." With these, there must be hundreds if not thousands of unused shots, the sum of which would readily confirm that which we have long argued, with the limited, poor quality material available to us. But it is highly significant that, through the height of the controversy and subsequently, not one of the photographers who had been at Qana on 30 July – or any of their editors – broke ranks.
