Former CNN reporter Eileen O’Connor says that Roesgen owes an apology to her interview subjects for rudeness and unprofessional behavior:

Eileen O’Connor, a former CNN reporter, now trains people to work in national media. Perhaps CNN needs to hire her back!

Here’s a clip of one of those racists suffering from Stolkhome Syndrome from Tax Party Tea Day that Janeane Garofalo was talking about.

Zo wrote on his blog:

Janeane Garafolo says the tea parties were a gathering of racists.

Strange, that these racists would welcome a black man to speak at their racist gathering at the state capital.

I wasn’t expecting to speak, I just went up to get some footage for PJTV, but the organizer of the Tea Party found out I was there, and requested I come up and say a few words. How racist!!!

If you’re a right winger and are tired of the media painting you as racist, spread this vid and watch the left downplay it and expose themselves even more as the true racists!

God bless, ya!

In case you don’t recognize Zo in this video, he is so mellow here, here is one of his latest rants:

You don’t have to agree with all he says, but he sure gives me a lot to think about it.

Rosegen owes her interview “subjects” a Japanese-style apology (you know, with a sword).

Love the Macho Sauce guy. He’s in one of my groups in Hollywood. What a great guy. Take THAT Janeane you loser.

Perez Hilton owes an apology for a “gotcha” question as well. I will never, ever click on his website again and I support gay and lesbian marriage. He is a PUNK!

I am a gay man who supports gay marriage, but I was HORRIFIED and SICKENED at the treatment of this young lady from California got by saying what she felt. What the hell ever happened to free speech? We are only allowed to say what is politically correct in this country anymore??!!

If you’re a right winger and are tired of the media painting you as racist

The loonies on the left only see one side, theirs. I’m not a right winger but they still paint me as racist for not supporting the gov’t spending spree. Kerry says that we must rescue the newspaper. When are the American people going to be rescued from this madness and bs?! Months ago, I laughed when I read that the porn industry wanted some bailout money. Now, I’m thinking they might just get it if they take part in sucking up (no pun intended) to 0zero’s administration.

Kerry says that we must rescue the newspaper.

Why? they have become irrelevant with the new media and newspapers today just kill trees for no good purpose. Their only apparent purpose today is in their value as propaganda agents for the far left. Well, even the far left doesn’t read the newspaper anymore. Get over it and let them fail.
Paula Revere

They will give the MSM bailout money. More Pay to Play for the Fraud. The MSM lied and covered for the Fraud, now they get their pay off. See how it all works? And WE are paying for it. Ughhhh…The Fraud is such a low life criminal.
Paula Revere

Agreed. He had NO business asking that question, since there was no appropriate answer and her being honest caused a mess. This country has gone so far to the loony left that having an opinion is a crime now.
Docelder

The question was inappropriate, as would be any question such as who did you vote for? Do you have religion? etc. What is worse is the after comments though. I have sensed something of an overt pattern of hatred toward strong women from some in the activist gay movement. There was for example the Palin Halloween effigy in West Hollywood, and this Miss USA rant as examples. I don’t understand this sentiment at all from this community or know where it comes from.

HABLA ESPANOL? Dept. of Homeland Security Chief Napolitano: Illegal Immigration Is Not a CrimeIn an interview with CNN’s John King last week, Napolitano discussed Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., a strict enforcer of immigration laws who says he wants illegal aliens to be prosecuted and jailed.

Napolitano responded:”Sheriff Joe … knows that there aren’t enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms or jail cells in the world to do what he is saying.”

“What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery.
“And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se.

Perhaps she should familiarize herself w/the statute that says “Any alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers . . . shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both.”

Why would she bother, they seem to be doing a good job of “changing” things to suit their needs.

Their only apparent purpose today is in their value

I think Miss California will be a voice to speak out for traditional marriage and equal rights for gay couples and civil partnerships. President Obama, VP Biden, and Elton John has the same view as Miss Cali and no on is going after the men. Perez Hilton tirade was blatant sexism.

I just hope Miss Cali help both sides to talk about the issue openly and honestly. I am happy the gay community and N.O.W. have apologize and critize Perez for his crude remarks.

I’d rather have the money going to the porn industry than where it’s going now. At least when people in porn fuck up, it’s because they are supposed too! These other asses have been screwing a hell of a lot more people than in any porno, and then blaming everyone else.

CNN’s Marciano to Obama: ‘Let’s Park the Jumbo Jet’ for Earth Day

By Ken Shepherd

April 22, 2009

Hinting at but not explicitly charging President Obama with eco-hypocrisy, CNN weatherman Rob Marciano chided the chief executive for flying out to Iowa and back just for one Earth Day speech. Marciano took to the camera shortly after 10 a.m. EDT for a weather report. His comments came on the heels of Heidi Collins describing Obama’s agenda for marking Earth Day [audio available here]:

ROB MARCIANO, CNN meteorologist: Is that the 747 Air Force One I see on the tarmac getting ready to go fly to Iowa for Earth Day?

HEIDI COLLINS, CNN anchor: Yup.

MARCIANO: I mean, it’s a pretty big carbon footprint just to make a speech in front of a windmill.

COLLINS: Yup.

MARCIANO: C’mon, let’s park the jumbo jet, just for Earth Day, Mr. President.

“Mr. Obama’s top trade official confirmed yesterday that Mr. Obama has no plans to reopen NAFTA to insert tough environmental and labour protections, which he publicly pledged to do during last year’s presidential race.”

Vandana Shiva (feminist ecologist) gives keynote address at the 2009 Organicology Conference in Portland, Oregon, on February 28 2009. Good analysis of war on our food supply by the big agribusinesses, esp. Monsanto’s killer seed tech.

If this answer to this question was so important then it should have been asked of every contestant because otherwise it is biased. It was sort of like asking only one contestant if they are anti-Sematic or if they believe in civil rights legislation.
