Rush Limbaugh Rips Lack Of Coverage Of Chris Dorner’s ‘Left-Wing Ties’: ‘The Fact That He’s Black Is A Factor’


Mediaite.com:
As the manhunt for murder suspect and ex-LAPD officer Chris Dorner continues, Rush Limbaugh weighed on the issue on Monday. Hitting those who have asserted that Dorner makes some valid points in his manifesto, Limbaugh noted that race is a factor.

“Despite the murders,” Limbaugh noted, some (like Steve Roberts, whom he named) have insisted there’s “intelligence…at work here, and there is racism in the LAPD…this guy’s got historical sensibility.”

“Look, the fact that he’s black is a factor here,” Limbaugh asserted bluntly. “I’m sorry, but what else would explain this? What else would excusing this — or, if not excusing it, relegating the murder aspect of what the guy’s doing to secondary status, and that the primary thing we must see is his intellect.”

He then went on to point to the New Yorker‘s Ryan Lizza noting during a TV appearance with Howard Kurtz that there’s “a kernel of truth” to the criticism. “Sometimes the media does have a hair trigger when you find out a murder suspect does have ties to, say, the Tea Party or some radical right group,” he said. “So I can understand why there’s some sensitivity on the right to this.”

“The hypocrisy is the least of it,” Limbaugh remarked. They simply don’t see that they’re ignoring Dorner’s “left-wing ties” — even though Dorner “wants the approval of liberals!” A direct tie is simply being ignored, he continued.

With that, he went on to hit Charlie Sheen for the message he sent to Dorner via TMZ (after Sheen saw that he was mentioned in Dorner’s manifesto). Going past Sheen’s publicity grab, Limbaugh added that, to some, he’s fighting a race war. That’s what makes him “an acclaimed hero to people.”

Dirty, Promiscuous Singer Kesha Comes Out As 'Bisexual' To Help 'Bullied' Little Brother's Stuttering Problem


Oh yeah, this news will put a stop to her little brother's "bullying" problem:
Kesha is opening up about her personal preferences and love life. The 25-year-old singer never was one to bite her tongue and has confessed that she kissed girls and even had sex with a ghost, but now she admits that she doesn't only love men.

The "Die Young" singer  opened up about many jaw dropping secrets that made you even second guess her metal health. When the singer told Conan in an interview that she went, "to the bone zone with a ghost," people either thought she was crazy or just smart at staying in the headlines. In an interview with "Seventeen" magazine the singer through out her trash bag gear and touched up on her softer side, posing on the cover with a kitten rocking bright clothing. The singer revealed that she's attracted to an array of people, "I don't love just men," she says. "I love people. It's not about a gender. It's just about the spirit that exudes from that other person you're with."

The singer doesn't let downers rain on her parade and uses all types of comments and critics as motivation as she stays on top of the charts, "I used it to motivate me then, and I still do," Ke$ha tells Seventeen. "I remember every person who told me I couldn't do something or that I was ugly or too fat. I have a 's*** list' - people from my past who have been soulless and judgmental. Even after I got through my awkward phase, got my braces off, and figured out how to dress my body, people in the music business were like, 'You're never going to make it.' I see them now and I'm like, 'Ha!' That's one of the reasons I named my record Warrior. You can be a victim and let that eat your soul, or you can say, 'You're going on my list and I'm going to prove you wrong!'"

Overcoming her bullies in the past the singer doesn't tolerate any type and is a strong advocate for the LGBT community and her younger sibling, "I'm all about standing up to gay/lesbian/transgender bullying, but it's also about my little brother," she explains. "He's 13 and he gets made fun of because he has a stutter. I just have zero tolerance for people making fun of others."

Gretchen Carlson Moved To Tears As Mike Huckabee Urges America: ‘Quit Being Ashamed That We Believe In God’



Mediaite.com:
Fox News Host Mike Huckabee moved Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson to tears on Monday in a discussion about God and religion in the wake of the mass murder in Connecticut on Friday. After saying that no one “should be surprised” by the attack because schools have become a place free of religion, Huckabee softened his tone. He said that Americans should no longer be ashamed of their belief in a higher power and turn to morality before the tragedy rather than after. 

“I’m not suggesting by any stretch that if we had prayer in schools regularly as we once did that this wouldn’t have happened,” said Huckabee. But, we’ve created an atmosphere in this country where they only time you want to invoke God’s name is after the tragedy.”

Huckabee praised President Barack Obama freely quoting scripture in the wake of the shooting deaths of 26 people, including 20 children. However, he said that it was still important to “create an atmosphere in this country where morality is not something we discuss only when we have no other place to run.”

Carlson was moved to tears. “Yesterday at our church, Governor, it was so moving,” she said. “It was so wonderful to know that if you are a person of faith, you have a lot of questions why, but you have something to hold onto.”

“I think It’s important that we quit apologizing for having a spiritual conversation,” Huckabee continued. “Quit being ashamed that we believe in God.”

Gunman Kills 20 Schoolchildren, 6 Adults at Connecticut School


Crazy people having guns isn't a Left or Right thing, or a Democrat or Republican thing, it's a common sense, life or death thing. Because a man who uses a gun to kill innocent children was never interested in "self-defense" or shooting some bear in the woods, Adam Lanza was a madman and a coward hellbent on making a name for himself in the most hellacious way possible. And he did just that. And like day follows night expect the Left to exploit this tragedy in every way possible and in return (as per usual) conservatives will return the fire with 2nd Amendment creeds ad nauseum...yunno, the usual stuff. And in the meantime people will talk "the good fight", but nothing will get done, crazy people will continue to have access to guns and more innocent people will die in the next tragedy...whenever that is:
Dressed in black fatigues and a military vest, a heavily armed man walked into a Connecticut elementary school Friday and opened fire, shattering the quiet of this southern New England town and leaving the nation reeling at the number of young lives lost.

Within minutes, 26 people were dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School -- 20 of them children. Among the six adults killed were Dawn Hochsprung, the school's beloved principal, and school psychologist Mary Sherlach.

The shooter, identified by three law enforcement officials as 20-year-old Adam Lanza, also was killed, apparently by his own hand.

"Stuff like this does not happen in Newtown," a tight-knit community of about 27,000 just outside Danbury, said Renee Burn, a local teacher at another school in town. In the past 10 years, only one homicide had previously been reported.

With the death toll at 26, the Newtown shooting is the second-deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, behind only the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech that left 32 people dead.

"Evil visited this community today," Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy said of Friday's massacre.

James Holmes' Shrink Told Cops He Talked About Killing A Lot of People But Didn't Order Psychiatric Hold



I've always felt that for the most part shrinks are disgusting people who take advantage of the gullible, naive and those in need of serious attention. In fact the world isn't as complex as we like to make it, God has long laid out a road for us to follow and self-validation is no validation. With that said, if this quack really knew firsthand what mass-murderer James Holmes was capable of and didn't have him placed under hold than she's an accessory in by book:
More evidence that could have preempted Batman shooter James Holmes' killing spree and saved the lives of 12 people and the wounding of 58 others has emerged five months after the movie theater massacre. 

Sources close to the investigation have revealed that in early June of this year, Holmes, 24, who was being treated by a University of Colorado psychiatrist, began talking, speculating, and fantasizing about killing "a lot of people," reported ABC CALL 7.

As RadarOnline.com has previously reported, the California native is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for each of the 12 victims he killed in the early morning hours of July 20 during a premiere showing of The Dark Knight Rises in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater.

On June 11 - six weeks before the shooting - Dr. Lynn Fenton was so concerned by his startling revelations that she called the University police department asking for a background check on him. Then the worried psychiatrist also put calls into the University threat assessment BETA team expressing her suspicion that Holmes was a potential threat because he had talked about killing a lot people.

The move was a massive breach of the doctor-patient confidentiality pact and proves that she believed the threats could be carried out despite the fact that Holmes had no criminal background or any history of violence.

The officer asked Dr. Fenton if she wanted to put Holmes under a 72-hour psychiatric evaluation, but as the student said he was planning to withdraw from the university and leave the campus they decided to drop the issue because he was no longer considered to be a student.

Last month, the suspected shooter was hospitalized after a "half-hearted suicide attempt" involving him running headfirst into his jail cell wall three times.

Holmes' mental health has been an issue in the case ever since his lawyers told the judge in early August that Holmes was mentally ill, although they have not yet said whether he will enter an insanity plea. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January in which the prosecution is expected to lay out its evidence against the defendant.
