re: #478 suchislife

I’m new, but I know this: if you have a case, ignore the down dings and prove it. By using sources and logic. A claim is not a prove.

Excellent, then;

I’d mention Diversity Chief of the FCC Mr Lloyd, whose expressed fondness for the Chavez regime and whose designs on talk radio (caution - this source is not White House approved) are well-known, but I’m afraid there are no sources for this that aren’t conservative, as these views are not that radical in today’s Left.

I could point you that Mr Lloyd’s fondness for the Chavez regime is by no means novel, as the State Department appears to agree with him, and with Castro, that free-lance constitutional conventions conducted by a would-be president for life and confirmed anti-semite and rabble-rouser are, as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing. So, perhaps this fondness isn’t unique to Mr. lloyd, who should no more be blamed for it than should, say, the senior leadership of the State Department.

I might also mention that Obama’s manufacturing czar, Ronald Bloom, has a noted and nasty opposition to American capitalism, and is quite unashamed to quote the Great Helmsman as part of the broader discussion. I’d suggest that anyone who is interested please do a search on the subject; any one place to which I might point you might be subject to criticism on the basis of other items to be found in the area. you can, however, listen to his remarks in a number of different places.

A good question to ask yourself is who is Samantha Power and who is her husband, and is there anything at all to suggest anything other than plain, old-fashioned Democratic party politics in Ms. Power’s recommendations for a new direction in US foreign policy, or in her husband, Mr. Sunstein, whose views on the role of the government in regulating and guiding the economy are certainly not yet commonly found outside of socialist economies.

While we’re at it, we could ask about the now-chucked out Mr. Van Jones, whose past and current radicalism were unexceptionable to President Obama until it came to the notice of folk and his comrade became a political liability.

We might also mention the recent correspondence from the justice department’s Ms. king, which seems to suggest that black voting rights in a majority black area with a majority black electorate, could somehow be diluted or infringed upon unless the Democratic party is explicitly identified. I’d provide a link, but my original lead on this appeared in “those of whom we do not speak,” print edition. Here’s a link to her letter over at the Department of Justice website, but it’s possible that some malicious person hacked their site and posted it over there to cast disrepute upon the current leadership. This cunning scheme would be all the more effective in light of Ms. king’s novel and surprising finding that the presence of armed members of the New Black Panther party can appear in uniform and hurling threats at voters without, however, infringing on their rights.

I could point out Ms Dunn’s clever invocation of the Great Helmsman’s example in the Chinese civil war to counsel tenacity in American highschool students, but that would be tacky, as it would be to mention her recent gloating over the Obama campaign’s successful control of the press during the race for the office. The current shunning of FoxNews, until such time as the network shall bring its programming more into line with WH expectations and have issued a grovelling apology, is also not worth mentioning. Nothing to see here at all.
