QOTW

Actually you can add to that every journalism school, university and school period.

They only jammed until they were sure that they had a solid voice amongst the enemies. Now they have the western press, education and the white house they can relax.

Is the MSM really that stupid - or are they smarter than we realize? Either way, it's scary as hell.

McCarthy was right.
Now it would take a government edict and 3 generations to clean out the communists working diligently in every corner of our lives.

Steyn's column on the whole Libyan situation, and Obama and Clinton's reponse, is superb. One of his best.

"In this case, as Secretary Clinton and General Dempsey well know, the film has even less to do with anything than did the Danish cartoons or the schoolteacher’s teddy bear or any of the other innumerable grievances of Islam. The 400-strong assault force in Benghazi showed up with RPGs and mortars: That’s not a spontaneous movie protest; that’s an act of war, and better planned and executed than the dying superpower’s response to it"

"Meanwhile, in Pakistan, the local doctor who fingered bin Laden to the Americans sits in jail. In other words, while America’s clod vice president staggers around pimping limply that only Obama had the guts to take the toughest decision anyone’s ever had to take, the poor schlub who actually did have the guts, who actually took the tough decision in a part of the world where taking tough decisions can get you killed, languishes in a cell because Washington would not lift a finger to help him."

Meanwhile, the State Department is trying to end questions about the murders in Libya by saying that it's 'being investigated' and therefore, they can't talk about it!

And Obama makes his 'necessary short indifferent speeches' on 'how terrible it all is'. And then, instantly flies off to yet another campaign love-fest of screaming fans in Vegas. And skips yet another of the daily intelligence briefings. He leaves all decisions and all problems to others. His focus is only on Himself.

I have no words.

There's something else to think about. Clinton and others in the Obama regime are insisting that all the attacks were ad hoc (sure, on Sept 11th?) reactions to a video put out by..whoever (keeps changing daily).

And, they are insisting that the Libyan embassy murders were just one of these reactions. And furthermore, they are removing this Libyan incident from questioning, saying that, as it's under investigation, they can't answer questions. Steyn debunks this; this is not a corner store robbery, it's a terrorist attack.

As Steyn and others point out, this was obviously not a mob, not a riot, but a carefully planned attack. Of war, against a sovereign (embassy) territory.

In retaliation for the drone killing of one of their Al Qaeda leaders. But, isn't that the singular task that Obama does carry out? Selecting, personally, who He Will Kill via Drone? He rarely attends the daily intelligence briefings, he leaves all policies and programs to others, he either campaigns or golfs. BUT, he does select the drone killings.

So, the Libyan embassy murders can be traced directly back to: Obama.

No questions can be asked of Obama and certainly, he is never at fault. That's why the State Dept is covering it all up with the silly film story.

Very good assessment ET. The MSM and Whitehouse are desperately trying to cover up something.
Something does not smell right in this whole thing???

Journalists... scum. I hate journalists, how could anyone with even a schmick of self worth,any sense of honour or integrity and a modicum of intelligence become a journalist? -- Sorry, I just answered my own question.

Ah, but that's the beauty (or ugly deception) of Soviet propaganda: it has two faces -- the narrative changes depending on the audience. An American audience may be more swayed by the "let's censor the disgusting Islamophobic movie" narrative; but a Muslim audience may be more swayed by the "let's kill Western infidels like those who ousted Gadhaffi in Libya" narrative.

Or for another propaganda twist, check out Communist Cuba's official response to events in Libya:

Cuba's position on the attacks and killing of the U.S. Ambassador in Libya is that it was completely "deplorable" without excuses (the American conservative position!) Which, doesn't seem to make sense since Gadhaffi was a friend of the Castros and they were infuriated about NATO's bombing campaign in Libya and Gadhaffi's killing last year.

Until you take into account that this particular face of Soviet-style propaganda is for American consumption only. Cuban officials have been openly supporting the re-election of Obama because they are terrified of the prospect of Romney and the Republicans winning. Cuba is careful to project itself as rational and "normal" during the U.S. elections, i.e.: "Cuba is now an ally of the U.S. thanks to Barack Obama's successful foreign policy".

Yes, post-modern (Columbia Journalism School) Soviet-style propaganda is a wonderous beast of many faces -- Cuba not only supported Libya's Gadhaffi, but supports radical Islam through Iran and Hezbollah, as well as through Hamas and the Palestinians, and is virulently opposed to Israel. But the last thing they want is a Republican in the White House lest it produce a genuine "Cuban Spring"!

The Bolsheviks are winning - A g e n d a 21 is the New World Order framed by Communists:

Writer hacks are just 'useful idiots'.

"Elderly Soviet propagandists must be wondering why they wasted their time jamming radio transmitters and smashing printing presses when they could just have sent everyone to Columbia Journalism School." -

- or Carleton, Ryerson, Concordia or any other commie cartoon campus.

Historically fascists tyrants use the media to spread their "Dear Leader" propaganda, no one told the Obama Media Inc or is that the AP that American hasn't fallen to the despot yet.

I know this will make me sound like a member of the tinfoil hat brigade but it has to be said. Communists infiltrated the universities during the 60's and 70's, taking special interest in the journalism schools. They took posts in the administration which guaranteed the selection of sympathetic professors who would then teach 'revolutionary' new ideas such as reporters have a duty to shape the opinions of the public and not just be dispassionate observers. Through careful selection, grading, and advancement of students they have been able to co-opt almost the entire industry into being the ultimate useful idiots, willing to lie to their own people and spin everything to serve the progressive agenda.

In addition to Mark Steyn's "How did that happen?" questions, there could be a few more we might want to ask, to wit:

- Do you feel that the embassy attacks of this week bear any resemblance to the embassy attacks in the late 1990s, or the attack on the USS Cole?

- How many Islamists were involved in each of those attacks, and how do you feel those attacks and their perpetrators had been organized?

- Given that the attack against US diplomats in Libya involved an organized armed force of 400, no member of which was, apparently, suicidal, and which met no resistance, what message do you think that these facts send to the Islamists?

- Do you feel that the Obama administration has taken adequate measures to protect American interests and government institutions abroad from Islamists?

- In light of your answer to the previous question, what, in your opinion, is the likelihood that the Obama Administration has taken adequate measures to protect you, your family and your other interests?

- Do you feel more secure today than you did four years ago?

- Do you feel more secure today than you did eleven years ago, considering that on Friday, September 14, President Bush said, in New York City, "I hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people that knocked these buildings down are gonna to hear from all of us soon"?

- Do you feel that President Obama's response more closely followed President Bush's response, or do you feel that his response more closely followed Senator Kerry's response at the DNC in 2004: "Any further attack on the US will be met with the full force of the law" (or words to that effect).

- Where does all of this leave us today, in terms of foreign policy direction? Do you feel that a Paulist or Obamaist isolationism WRT to the ME is going to keep you safe (you choose)?

I'd say that Mark Steyn in not being tough enough.

ET and Fay are right this is one of Steyn's best columns.

Ad Chris Stevens to the big list of unexplained and fishy deaths surrounding Hillary.
