Thanks to the rise of the internet and social media, people throughout the world can now gain access to than was believed possible just ago. However, the big leftist media conglomerates of old nevertheless retain great power to influence societal attitudes on a large scale…and they do not shy away from using that power to sway public opinion their way. Particularly in “movement media“, we see an endless stream ofradical propaganda that has become valuable as a political mechanism of organizing for the Shadow Party. But these and their compatriots in the so-called “mainstream media” have evolved even further in their role as a propaganda machine in recent years. They have become apologists not only for a secular ideology, but now also for a wholly political religion – Islam. These Islamapologists have many clear lines that they invariably refuse to cross in their reporting on this particular religion; lines that are so unmistakable that we can identify them specifically. They are the “Ten Commandments of Leftist Reporting on Islam.”
And we’re starting with… censorship.
I. Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of Muhammad in Vain
II. Thou Shalt Compare Radical Islam to Conservatism
In presenting his book American Taliban for public consumption, Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zuniga claimed that conservative concerns about leftist tolerance for Islamic terrorism are an “extra level of stupid” because “these Islamic fundamentalists subscribe to the very same ideology and values that drive American modern conservatives.” The meme that conservatism is equivalent to Islamic fundamentalism got its first big jump-start in the leftist media and it continues today. On any given day and in all areas of both movement and ‘mainstream” media, one can find radical Islam termed not as “radical Islam” but rather the “conservative” form of Islam. The left is hereby co-opting the term “conservative”, using it to describe both those who murder in the name of Allah and mainstream leaders in America who happen to be politically conservative.
UPDATE: I have no problem with libertarians that are not isolationist. The problem I have is promoting a 3rd party because that will ensure the progressives take over. I saw the show and I saw him promoting one. I hope I am wrong and he will elaborate it more on Monday. I agree with beck that exporting democracy to the muslim world is like teaching an ape table manners 😉 But I think he crossed the line. I hope my opinions are more clear now. I am in no way calling Beck Hitler like some. Again I hope I am wrong but I fear I may be right.
The commie libtards have highjacked the symbol of freedom to promote their lies about modern day freedom fighters
Marvel Comic’s Captain America is the mightiest soldier with the super powerful secret soldier formula that makes him a super man. Sadly, this muscle bound hero that took on the whole Nazi army during WWII seems to be afraid of those American people who’ve joined the Tea Party movement. Not only is Cappy quaking in his little red booties, but he’s sure that the Tea Party folks are dangerous racists, too. Read the rest.
The jihadi loving libtards are perverting Captan America to show people standing up for liberty as being evil. The progressives have killed million of people so far and intend to kill way more. It seems they are transforming old symbols of liberty into tyrannical propaganda.
Try it for yourself. I just did. Report on Arrakis has the story: search for ‘Christianity is’ at Google and a host of negative recommendations pop up:
But when you search for Islam, no negative recommendations come up — indeed, no recommendations at all:
Go ahead, try it. I didn’t believe it until I did.
Will Google next delete pro-freedom, anti-Islamic supremacism websites?
AFP – The Hamas-run government in the Gaza Strip on Monday announced a 540-million-dollar (377-million-euro) budget for 2010 with just 55 million dollars coming from taxes and other local sources of r…
“Another post about media bias? Seriously?” As if this topic hasn’t been beaten to death over the past decade. But never do 2 stories emerge that are so similar in plot but so different in coverage in the span of 2 days as happened this past weekend. For those of you who don’t pay attention to the news, here are 2 links to news stories (via Ace of Spades HQ) abou
Now according to most news sources, the recruitment center shooting occured around 10 A.M. today (not sure if that’s local or Eastern time). The police have a
suspect but haven’t relased information regarding the shooter or the victims as of yet, so I admit I may be jumping to conclusions a bit early, but I’ll go ahead and make the prediction for all to see: the murders in both of these stories will be treated very differently if the person who shot the military recruiters turns out to be a left-wing, anti-war protester. What’s my basis? Well let’s just look at the current deification of George Miller and what’s being said about his murderer.
THE SPECTATOR.CO.UK published an article entitled, “You Get Your Film, and Go Home” by Ron Liddle on 4 April, 2007. I know, We’re right on top of things. Well, “Schmoozing” is an opinion site, not necessarily an up-to-the-minute news site. Neither of us gets paid enough for that.
If you want the latest, I…uhm, really don’t know who you could count on in the MSM. Sorry. They sometimes have some of the latest. As for it’s veracity, that’s another — story.
Back to Mr. Liddle’s piece, below are a few of the more notable salvos, er, paragraphs, found on page two of his article. (Note to self, be kind. Mr. Liddle did admit to feeling like an imbecile — bottom of page 1. Knowing there is a problem is, after all, half the battle.) Read the rest of this entry »
Yet another refutation of the false claims of Mahmud Ahmadinejad. The Arab world is as guilty as any of the nations of the world in driving the Jewish people to the inevitable conclusion that we had to reclaim our sovereignty in our historical homeland. The proof is so easy to find and would be admissible in any court of competent jurisdiction.
It seems New Week is not very at being like Big Brother in 1984. Here is what Brain from Snapped shot said. “Newsweak has silently corrected the map in question. No admission of error, no correction, no nothing. Welcome to the New Soviet Era, my airbrush-loving friends.” It seems that News Week did not change there big map yet. Elder has noticed “Interestingly, their picture of Egypt is also pre-1967 – it includes Gaza.
The most charitable explanation I can come up with is abject ignorance. Perhaps we could clear all of this up if they had a report of Jordan’s religious freedom, so we could check out whether the West Bank is considered Jordanian territory, thus proving that Israel really doesn’t exist. ” “
Update: It seems the Elder has also written on this. I think the Elder did a better job read it here: Fact: Palestinian Arabs lie.
I woke up in the middle of the night. I checked my digg.com feed and I saw this. Wow. Lets just say I can not go back to sleep. Is the BBC and Digg going to promote the blood liable next? The headline makes no sense other then to portray Israel and Jews as evil. Once you read the story you see how it is only jihadi lies. It is just sad that the western and digg are promoting it. I would not suggest reading digg feeds before you go back to sleep. Digg really hit a new low promoting this Jihadi trash in my book. I never thought the BBC and Digg would side with Hamas so soon. Things are going to get alot darker before they get light IMHO.
Honestly who cares. what’s the big deal? we are all Americans, this headline is really aimed at Hispanics as the article focuses on Latins. What these idiots don’t realize is that 48% of Hispanics are Ethnically White and culturally come from the same civilization as Most Americans. I really don’t get this color obsession. It’s civilization that counts. As long as America is Judeo-Christian, who cares! At least Latins aren’t Muslims.
Let’s look at Europe on the other hand. The Muslim who are alien to European Civilization are immigrating there. Instead of integrating, they are imposing their way on Europeans. The Europeans are bowing to them. They even legalized Polygamy in Holland!
Yet no Drudge headline on this. I recalled that it was 19 Muslims, not Latins that attacked us on 9/11. Many of the anti-Latin, Americans don’t realize that there are plenty of Latins in the Military fighting the Jihad. They need to wake up and realize, Islam is the enemy, not Latins.
The Leftist-Islamic alliance is at it again. Now they are seeking to pass International Laws outlawing the criticism of Islam. They are using the Defamation of Religion excuse to pursue this agenda. As Always, The Leftists in the UN support the Islamists.
This is an attempt to impose Dhimmi status of the West. we must resist these attempts and keep exposing Islam as the death cult it is. They are manipulating the Leftists by using the victimization role. I’ll say it now, Islam sucks. They don’t like it, tough.
It is just sick how the jihadis have been infiltrating digg and spreading their misinformation and lies. If you have a digg.com account mark this story as inaccurate. We need to stop anti Israeli propaganda from spreading. The jihadis have a vested interest to lie and try to deceive in regard to Israel but fortunately they do not have truth on their side.
Updated: as you can see by my last comment in the thread. I think the support to these claims are build upon not enough evidence for such drastic conclusions. I think some of the work Charles does at LGF is essential and it is good work. When I first wrote this I was presented with evidence that Charles has an agenda to attack believers. I don’t know how good the evidence is now. I hope that is not Charles attempt. I don’t want to discount the great things Charles has done. So read on with caution.
Exposing Islamo-Fascism and the fifth column that supports and defends the jihadis is important. But attacking people that believe in G-d is just down low. There is a difference between a Jihadi and a person of faith. It looks like Charles has lost line. He is running a hate sight against anyone that believe G-d is behind the creation of the world. A good friend of mine was just banned from LGF he started a new blog. Check it out.
IT IS TIME FOR PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN G-D TO STAND UP AND STOP ALLOWING CHARLES TO PREACH HIS HATE. I was with him when he rallied against the jihadis. I was with him when he rallied against the neo-nazis. BUT I WILL NOT BE WITH HIM WHEN HE RALLIED AGAIST BELIEVING IN G-D.
I dont know what LGF is trying to accomplish. Most Conservatives I know are people of deep faith and love for this country. By attacking and belittling those people of faith LGF is cutting its nose off despite its face. What Conservatives need is a real blog to discuss the issues, not this psuedo-science mixed with vitrolic hatred of anyone who is different.
On the one hand Charles loves to belittle the Global Warming theory which apparently a good number of scientists are supporting. Charles is so good at science that he can disregard the rantings of a majority of scientists. He is against GW theory only because it is a talking point of the left. Because of his blinding hatred of the left he comes out against GW theory, which is just as ’scientific’ as the evolution theory. But Charles will put down and denigrate anyone who has faith in the Master of the Universe. His hatred is blinding him, and it will be his downfall.
