Obama Admin Officials to New Yorker Mag: Libyan Chaos Is GOP's Fault
In a rundown of the deteriorating situation in Libya in its February 23 issue, New Yorker Magazine's Jon Lee Anderson quoted "a senior (Obama) Administration official" (the capital "A" is Anderson's) who, incredibly, claimed that the country's descent into virtual chaos resulted from "the politicization" of the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and…
'Atlantic Piece Explains Just How Islamic ISIS Is: Very Much So
The president and his acolytes in the Democratic Party and the liberal media love to rehash the trite, politically correct nonsense that ISIS is fundamentally un-Islamic because its horrendous actions are beyond the pale of what the vast majority of peaceful Muslims worldwide would ever countenance. But in a piece for the March edition of The Atlantic, hardly a right-wing publication, Graeme Wood…

Barnicle: We Can't Call It Radical Islam 'Because We're The Crusaders'
Mike Barnicle: proud member of the Barack Obama "terrible deeds in the name of Christ" school of moral blindness . . .

NBC ‘Today’ Gave 'SNL40' 11 Times More News Than ISIS Beheadings
To “Today,” a comedy show retrospective is 11 times more important than Isis slaughtering Christians. In its first three hours Monday, “Today” spent 14 minutes 28 seconds on last night’s SNL40 anniversary of “Saturday Night Live” – another NBC production. On the other hand, it gave all of one minute, 20 seconds to a mass atrocity and the military response to it.
The other networks also spent…

Scarborough: Radical Christianity Could Also Lead to Violence
Joe Scarborough says he doesn't want to be "torn to shreds online" for analogizing the threat of radical Christianity to that of radical Islam. Simple solution: stop analogizing the threat of radical Christianity to that of radical Islam.
On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough twice suggested such parallels, analogizing radical Islamists to "ultrafundamentalist Christians who believe every single…
MSNBC Host Actually Compares Chapel Hill Murders to Marathon Bombing
MSNBC is rightly considered among the more fetid branches of the left-wing fever swamp, alongside the Daily Kos blog, Dennis Kucinich's fan club, and just about any fundraiser for Elizabeth Warren. But what MSNBC airs on weekends exceeds its often dazzling levels of left-wing lunacy.
This morning on the network's Melissa Harris-Perry show, for example, guest host and Columbia University poli-…

NBC Continues to Omit Atheist, Lefty Beliefs of Accused Muslim Killer

NBC Ignores Militant Atheism, Liberalism of Accused Killer of Muslims
NBC's Today on Thursday ignored the militant atheism and liberalism of a North Carolina man accused of executing three Muslims on Tuesday night.

Vox: At Prayer Breakfast, Obama Rebuked Those Who ‘Hate Muslims’
Max Fisher writes that Obama’s comment was “so banal it could be an after-school special. That it has provoked national controversy goes to show that there is still a mainstream thread of thought in America that Islam is an inherently violent religion, that the world's 1.6 billion Muslims are somehow different, and that non-Muslims are superior human beings.”
