Carrie Prajean utter lack of respect!

I have never really gotten down hard on Carrie Prajean. I always felt that she was just a media whore, someone like Levi Johnston, who is doing anything for media attention. But after her treatment of Larry King, I think it is time to give her a tongue slashing usually reserved for older hosts.

I do not like the manner that she answered her question, but then I would have disqualified half the women based on the manner the answered their questions. So, yes I am not an expert! Politics is my field, not beauty pageants.

Then she went about opening her mouth saying that she was doing it for God and so on and so forth. She became the darling of the far right. Of course there are the instances of her topless photographs and her masturbation videos, okay. I would not be surprised if it was Carrie Prajean herself that exposed all these leaks to stay in the media. Hey, there is no such thing as bad publicity right.

I always put her as a person that was crying for attention. I put her in the same category as Levi Johnston who is doing the same thing by posing nude for playgirl and throwing dirt at Governor Sarah Palin. They are just attention seeking whores to me.

This incident changed everything. In political commentary, there are many people who could be considered bigots, rude, obnoxious, terrible. These can be from the left like Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher and Rachael Maddow, from the right like Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck or Bill O Reilly or even independents like Governor Ventura, Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader or the people here at ST.

But nobody disses CNN’s Larry King. Anybody would tell you that he is a very soft-ball host. He has been doing this for so many years and I never heard of anybody being pissed off with Larry King. Even people like Bill O Reilly and Rush Limbaugh do not mind him. I am shocked at the manner that she treated Larry King. It is disgraceful.

She began by saying how she is “Palinized” by the far-left media like Keith Olbermann. Okay, that is a fair point. He is really a jacka**. But is there really a double standard as she suggests? Would right-wingers be forced out of the air because of mean words?

Rush Limbaugh supported (supports?) the apartheid government is South Africa in the 90s, he is still on the air. Glenn Beck called President Obama a racist for no damn reason, he is still on the air. Michael Savage in on the air despite his outright racist remarks against Latinos. Governor Sarah Palin is still on the air despite claiming that our President pals with terrorists. So, the idea of there being a double standard is really ridiculous.

Larry King then went to the point where she agreed to settle for some lawsuits that she made. He did not ask what the settlement was, he asked why. Why did she settle? It is a fair question. It is nothing intrusive. Even then he went on for just 30 seconds.

“So you can even say why you settled? I am not asking for what is in the agreement? … So the agreement discusses why each party agreed to settle?” That was basically all Larry King asked! That was it! It was not a tough one. She could have answered that she was tired of everything and wanted it to end quickly etc. Those kinds of excuses are okay, but you can’t tell why you settled?

Because of that, she gave Larry King the ultimate disrespect by taking off her microphone while a viewer was asking her a question. If I were Larry King, I would have freaking exploded. Try doing that to other hosts like Bill O Reilly, Geraldo Riviera, Ann Coulter, Olbermann and see what the reaction would be.

I also hope there was a person she was talking to in the room, because if she was talking to herself, she would really need psychiatric help!

Sarah Palin latest conspiracy

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 at 6:33 am  
Leave your comment

Former Alaskan Governor, Sarah is back. And her latest controversy, the latest controversy regarding President Obama administration is…. He moved the phrase, “In God we trust” from the front of the one dollar coin to the side of the coin!. Stupid, nonsensical, and not true but a genius that it got people talking about this rather than the talking points of recent Democratic gains.

Seriously, this is exactly the kind of person that I as an Independent want to suppress. In the midst of a war in Afghanistan, economy that is coming up without the jobs, global warming, Islamic terrorism in our own backyards, etc… And she want to talk about what is being written on the $1 coin!

Even if it is all a big deal which is not at all, it is not true. This coin change did not happen under President Obama’s Presidency, it happened in 2005! It happened under President George Bush (43)! Come on! Secondly, lets replace God in that sentence and change the phrase to “In America we trust!” That is more American and more worth fighting for!

This lady is pure venom for our country. She is dividing it with her lies. That is my main problem with her. She has no substance, just hateful rhetoric. She knows nothing about running the state. Alaska has the most resources vs population in that country and even that she screwed it up. Alaska is however, in the red. She just knows hate in her puritan stance. The manner she purged Diedre Scozzafava, she could purge anyone else next!

I knew it the moment she said that then-Senator Obama is palling around with terrorists. Democrats are too weak and dumb, but independents like me would have shot back, “Yes, and you are sleeping with a separatist!” That lady is nothing but poison.

She may not know anything about running a country or about being nice, but she sure does know how to play politics. She paints herself as the victim all the damn time, think David Letterman saga, and then portrays herself as a fighter. She is the darling of far right like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh etc.

She has got the far-right on her finger-tips. She says Dede Scozzafava has to go, and boom she is gone. Governor Charlie Crist of Florida would not be in trouble till she says so, so what do you think he is going to do?

So how does she get to become the truly powerful force of the far right, with moves like this. She makes up a controversy that is not there and pits herself in the righteous horse. The far right are already considering this coin fiasco another act of heroism for their movement.

That is where she is smarter than the Democrats. They can control the white house and the congress and have the majority of the gubernatorial seats, but they are still wimps. They are still in nursery when it comes to playing politics bar a few, while people like Governor Palin have already graduated.

That is what makes her so bloody dangerous. She has everything for her, her looks, weak opponents, etc. And she can single-handedly bring America in the wrong direction…. at best.

FOX attacks Judge Chen, proves Obama right

Sean Hannity and Bill O Reilly have gone after Judge Edward Chen now. He is their their latest victim in their hit-list of Presidential Obama nominees. It is outrageous and stupid. FOX News has gone so far to the right that it is crazy and this time, hurtful.

Before I go about writing my views about this, I would have to declare that I am an Asian American. I would rather let you know about this now, rather than you guys finding out about this. It does influence my views, and yes, so will experience.

Had Bill O and Sean Hannity gone after Judge Chen over matters regarding policy or his time at the bench, there is nothing much wrong with that. If you were to Google about Judge Chen, you would see that some people are not happy about Judge Chen with regards to a case involving Symantec. They felt that he sided too much with the big corporation and that he fined the smaller one. Some also state that he committed fraud based on that case. I have no idea about the case and would find that to be a legitimate criticism if it is true.

However, that was not what the people at FOX went out to do. Here is the Judge’s quote from the O’Reilly Factor that makes him too left wing for the wackos at FOX: “One has to wonder whether the seemingly irresistible forces of racism, nativism and scapegoating, which has recurred to often in our history, can be effectively restrained.”

Of course his statement is 100% right! On the night of September 11, my dad said something along those lines. He said that had it been a North Korean agent that committed the crime, he would have feared for our safety due to racists that would put all Asians in the same boat and dish out their version of revengeful justice. Don’t you think Muslim parents and parents of kids from South Asian origin did not feel the same way?

Of course his statement is 100% right! Wasn’t Islamophobia born at that time? Aren’t we profiling people at airports. Didn’t American Sikhs die because there were crazy people who thought that Sikhs were Muslims and that they deserve to pay for 9/11 with their lives? Didn’t racial attacks on Muslims increased by a lot around that time?

I do not know if this is true, but I think that the Conservatives are really so white in their party, that they really do not see the perspective of other races. I really cannot imagine anybody that would not be viewing this in the manner that we did. Honestly, where did Monica Crowley get her PhD? I felt insulted with the statement and would have lost my temper on the set after hearing her claims.

And you know what is Judge Chen other big crime. He does not like the song “America the Beautiful”! Here is the quote that drives them mad: “Sometimes I cannot help but feel that there are too much injustice and too many inequalities that prevent far too many inequalities that from enjoying the beauty extolled in that anthem.

I bloody guarantee that the fact that that statement is taken out of context. We could clearly see that he was making a point about our country’s past. Again, I bet that there would be some far right people that still would not get the point and would think that I hate America. Even if he did say that he did not like the song: So? How is that hateful in anyway at all?

FOXNews has exposed itself yet again as the megaphone for the far right and the Republican Party. This plays to the hands of the White House claims. The part that the would not tell you though is that MSNBC does the exact same things for the far left and the Democrats.

Obama and FOX News

Duh! The President and his administration is definitely right when he says that and has a right to “fact-check whatever the President says. This is something that we have been saying all along! But what the President forgets is that there is also MSNBC that worships his every word.

I really do not see any defense for FOX News when it comes to this. When you can have nuts like Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, you cannot claim to be “fair and balanced”. When they have producers that are trying to rally up crowd gathered by their own anchor, how can FOX claim to be a news organization? How can they be considered sensible when they think that Google is biased towards liberals and is left leaning? Google?!

“Fair and balanced is just a catchphrase and is not in any way accurate about FOX News. It is like tourism brochures that claim “kingdom of wonder” or fast-food outlets claiming that they are “finger licking good”. It is just sale-pitch, not reality.

Our take on it though is that the President is not being fair to the network. This is because, it is not just FOX news, but the news cycle itself that is becoming nothing more than opinion journalism. Far left MSNBC is basically the left wing version of FOX News with only left wing punditry. CNN leads the rest of the cohorts with left vs right wing punditry on their shows. They also tend to have mellow hosts like Anderson Cooper and Campbell Brown.

All of the above mentioned companies are not really supplying news. The real supplier of news are agencies like the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Press (AFP). But lets be honest, how many people watch or read their news? CSPAN is definitely the best political channel in America, but don’t we snooze when we watch it.

It is we, the consumer, that should be blamed. It is no secret that FOX News has the highest ratings amongst the news channels. Why? It is because we Americans, Conservative, Liberal or independent would prefer to watch Jay Leno and the NFL rather than to watch news. Additionally, the people that want to watch the news are from the far right. Hence, FOX news dominance.

The nuts are real, have no doubt about that. Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Keith Olbermann, Rachael Maddow etc… But at the end of the day, it is all about the numbers. And WE make the numbers. FOX is just following a strategy that makes them more money.

The other point that I want to make is the hypocrisy of President Obama. MSNBC did this for the last 8 years. Did he complain? MSNBC “carried his balls” throughout his Presidential campaign. Did he complain then? MSNBC is openly skewered to the left. Does he complain? No! He has said nothing about them.

I also think that he should have taken the approach that Michael Moore took. He should have gone on a show that hates him the most, like Sean Hannity’s show and bitch-slapped them. He should have done things Slashing Tongue style and tell FOX News off during their show in their face. But he did not do that when he should have.

At the end of the day, I want people to understand the effect of what we are doing. We “stupify” debates when we take our news from comedians like Letterman rather than Katie Couric. We are buying crazy talk when we listen to people like Rush Limbaugh.

To be brutally honest, that was why this set was set up. And we hope that we are providing a better alternative in text than these guys are providing!

Moore vs Hannity

You guys know how I feel about the right and the left in our country. And not many can be more wing-nuts like Michael Moore and Sean Hannity. Boy couldn’t you tell the awkwardness when both of them were on the air. The interview basically went as follows!

First, it was something about a stupid bet. It shows the lack of intellect in the part of Moore and perhaps why the Democrats are usual losers! He actually made a bet with Sean Hannity that former President Bush would be forced out of office! Hey Michael, you need a spine for that and the Democrats do not have any!

Next came some religious mambo-jambo, you know the “I am more Christian than you” kind of talk. Sean Hannity then went to the most obvious flaw that Michael Moore have in his rage with capitalism; he made millions because of it! He even had the cheek to claim that he could trash the system in Cuba and Fidel Castro would do nothing! What a joke! The hypocrisy was obvious! 2-0 to Hannity.

Sean Hannity then claims that it was right for the US to attack Iraq and the Israelis and other intelligence services were showing proof of WMDs. Hey Sean, do you think the Israelis would have sat down and have done nothing if Saddam had nukes? 6 million Jews died in world war 2, you think they would make the same mistake with allowing Saddam nukes? No way. Hannity was dead wrong.

He went back putting the blame on President Clinton, and tried to say that it was not President Bush’s fault. We in Slashing Tongue mentioned in our 9/11 episode that both these Presidents along with President Carter and President Reagan were at fault too. 2-1 TO Hannity.

And Sean Hannity also went down the path of stupidity that he thinks that there are millions of people that want to attack America due to religious fanaticism. Wow!Again stocking the flames of hatred. Yes, the Middle East is screwed up, yes. But does that mean that there are literally millions of people out there to destroy America? No! Come on! 2-2 tie.

The next topic was about whether home owners were responsible for the collapse on the financial system. On this, Michael Moore is right. They had very little to do with the collapse. It was the system. It was when bonds were pressured to be rated AAA so easily and other ridiculous laws. It was not the Community Investment Act at all. Other countries have similar bills, why didn’t their housing sector go bust? 3-2 to Michael Moore.

Micheal Moore secured his “win” in the closing minutes when he said that we do not make things anymore and Sean Hannity disagrees. Every economists agree that the biggest problem with the American economy is that we do not manufacture enough here! That is a fact. Be it Peter Schiff or Paul Krugman, economists want America to start making things again. How? That is what make them right wing or left wing. It is the tactic that they differ on, not the destination.

So Michael Moore won , this time. But that does not mean that I appreciate his views at all. For what is wrong with Michael Moore’s movie, please read our older articles on why Michael Moore is wrong!
