You all heard that one, right? You did? Well you're lying, because FrontPageMag's Robert Spencer has proven that the Lame Stream Media is covering it up:
Warner Todd Huston reported at Breitbart Monday that “in some of its reports on Saturday night’s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD), the Associated Press failed to include one of President Obama’s own gags.”The rest of the column is about how Obama is too a big Muslim.
Obama said: “These days I look in the mirror and have to admit, I’m not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be.” But, noted Huston, “in one version of the night’s story (as seen at Huffington Post, Time Magazine, Breitbart Wires, the Ottawa Citizen, and The Columbian to name a few), the AP’s Bradley Klapper forgot one part of the President’s joke,” reporting his words as “I’m not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be,”
Why? Did they think it had too much of a ring of truth?
Why did some editors at AP or at the publications that picked up the AP story think it necessary to run interference for Obama on this point?
You may be wondering what Spencer and his fellow idiots are trying to accomplish. My guess is, they're thinking about future generations. No one living at the present moment and aware of the news could possibly believe AP is purposely blocking Obama's famous joke. But down the road apiece, when the shattered remnants of the White People's Party are living in survivalist treehouses in the Dakotas, they're tell their children how Obama even admitted he was a Muslim and the media covered it up, and produce some dog-eared Wayback Machine files as proof. After all, they're big on heritage.
UPDATE. Speaking of the WHCD, Conan O'Brien apparently made a joke about Duck Dynasty and National Review's Greg Pollowitz spends hundreds of words ferociously insisting it wasn't funny. When I read that stupid thing about the reality show being a conservative touchstone, I thought it was just one guy's foolishness, but apparently it's a thing: Rod Dreher has gotten in on it, as have S.E. Cupp and those crazy kulturkampfers at Acculturated.
I kind of take the point, though -- if you're the sort of person who chooses what crap TV shows to watch based on ideology, <foxworthy>yew might be a conservative!</foxworthy>.
Hello, every time i used to check blog posts here
ReplyDeleteearly in the morning, because i like to gain knowledge of more
and more.
My web page how to lose weight
Look, just because you saw the video of Obama saying it on TV, and read about it in the newspaper, and heard about it on the radio, and surfed through it on the internet DOES NOT MEAN it isn't being completely covered up and hidden.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, it didn't come through on the fillings in their molars, so there's your proof!
I think they reached a tipping point, mentally, after the second election of Obama when they stopped believing there were enough "real" Americans to alert to obamas real evil. Now they. Are just going through the motions like a drowning man in the middle of the ocean. Sometimes they pretend " if the people only knew" sometimes they take solace in arguing that there are too few in the pure band to matter. Sour grapes? Last desperate throw of the dice? Cardboard filler in your artisanal bread? Hard to say.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Wayback Machine is going to be doing Breitbart many favors.

"After all, they're big on heritage."
ReplyDeleteI was sad to learn from that site that Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece are now in decline, but fuck Ancient Rome. Those bastards deserve whatever they get.
the AP’s Bradley Klapper forgot one part of the President’s joke,” reporting his words as “I’m not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be,”
ReplyDeleteIf you google bradley klapper obama socialist, the results you get are either AP stories by him WITH "Muslim" and right-wing websites saying he published it without. I suppose correcting it only serves as further proof of interference-running.
Klapper on...Klapper off...
ReplyDeleteThe Klapper!

Yes, it was only the screaming headline at the Huffington Post for half a day, so it's obvious they were covering it up.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Did they think it had too much of a ring of truth?
ReplyDeleteWait, doesn't this imply that "Socialist" didn't have a ring of truth? You'd better inform the entire wingnutosphere and every Republican member of Congress about that, Bob.
And Spenser's not the snot-eating girl-drink drunk he used to be.
ReplyDeleteThey're hiding it in plain sight, see. Liberals are sneaky that way. It's all part of the conspiracy, man!

ReplyDeleteNetworks love reality TV because you have to pay for people with talent.
ReplyDeleteJesus, exactly. How nuts do you have to be to think that something repeated all over TV, YouTube, and global media, something that everyone you tell this to already knows by heart, is being covered up?
ReplyDeleteOkay, it's a rhetorical question.
BTW, in the thread to the FrontPage rag Spencer post, it took them all of 3 comments to get to "Obama is worse than Hitler". I guess that's an improvement.
ReplyDeleteand edroso once again nails the memester award, this time for coining the XML tag!
ReplyDeleteNothing much to add, except that I went to Acculturated, to see that they decided to re-title an article about Tim Tebow being fired as "Tim Tebow is a Free Man".
ReplyDeleteWhen? Hasn't that already happened?
ReplyDeleteSo you enjoy the vision of the Tiber foaming with blood?
ReplyDeleteI kid, I kid ... Catullus was the only one I could stand, myself.
I don't think they are going through the motions, necessarily, or preaching to the choir. They are the 4 year old going "Is so! Is so!" over and over again, hoping to win by volume, or by the other kids getting tired of the game - and sometimes teh bastards win, too. Dammit.
ReplyDeleteWell, what do you expect them to do, investigate and fine something that is actually being hidden? That sounds like WORK, man.
ReplyDeleteThis is the most important admission by an individual since Lisa Simpson confirmed to Janey that she was indeed going to marry a carrot.
ReplyDeleteFreed from the burden of shoving a couple million dollars a year into his pockets, at any rate. Maybe Jesus will start listening to Tebow's pleas now...but I wouldn't bet my own money on it.
ReplyDeleteThere's room for him on a minor-league baseball roster. We already know he can throw change-ups and knuckleballs; how's his fastball? (He'll have a longer career as a baseball player anyway.)
ReplyDeleteSlackers. I've seen Firedoglake do it in 2.
ReplyDeleteAnd you thought "Sasquatch Israel" was the reductio ad absurdum (fuck you, spellcheck) of wing-nut concern trolling or exegesis or whatever it is they think they're doing. The only good news in all this is, their continual demonstrations that the barrel has no bottom gives hope to string theorists that there may just actually be hidden dimensions down there.
ReplyDeleteI do listen to the Notorious d.a.w.g.!
ReplyDeleteShe's a lot smarter than anyone who hangs out at Breitbart.

I'm under the assumption that they are likely to believe that the election was STOLEN
ReplyDeleteI was under the impression that in the post-employment economy, 'fired' was re-branded as 'freed to pursue other interests' some time ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny because it's true?
ReplyDeleteHow about a subatomic particle of Palinesque wingnuttery? A Trig's Boson, if you will.
ReplyDeleteHe'll have an even longer career as a televangelist. Hell, I bet he can leg press more than Pat Robertson.
ReplyDeleteDespite the self-evident promise inherent in "take my wife please", Spencer never got to have sex with Henny Youngman's wife. It still stings.
ReplyDeleteFree to Investigate Related Employment Developments, you mean?
ReplyDeleteThey're still working on the time machine that will allow them to go back and make Obama, in fact, a one-term president like they always vowed. So far it consists of four cardboard tubes stuck together with Elmer's.

ReplyDelete"transition opportunities"
ReplyDeleteDeliciously cheesy? It fits.
ReplyDeleteBest line from the rod Dreher thread " sure the shoe is scripted but the acting is not!" I. E. the entire thing is fake but the obviously fake piety.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that typically Dreher? To fetishize the beard while not wearing one himself? Is this another thing it's good to have someone else do for you, like religion itself, because its too uncomfortable for you to do all that work?
ReplyDeleteI think you're thinking of Torg, or maybe Kang.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Idaho, then.
ReplyDeleteI would happily live in the alternate universe where the Palin kids were Korg, Moog, and Roland.
ReplyDeleteWell, they had to have something up while they were finishing their slideshow of the Top 10 Sideboobiest Moments from This Year's WHCD.
ReplyDeleteSo much of Dreher can be explained once you realize that deep down he knows he was born to be an obnoxious hipster and has gone to extraordinary lengths to crush that part of himself.
ReplyDeleteI want to scratch this comment behind the ears and tell it who's a good girl.
ReplyDeleteI has the ring of truthiness.
