Penn State vs. Gunwalker: Warped Priorities?
In one of the most repulsive scandals in college history, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky has been charged with 40 counts of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period, some of them as young as seven. Sandusky is alleged to have used a charity he founded to help disadvantaged boys, the Second Mile Foundation, to find his victims in assaults that occurred between 1994 and 2009.
The American public, and the media in particular, is sickened by these charges and has reveled in the opportunity to destroy the perverse and their enablers in this scandal.
Yet Elisabeth Meinecke, deputy managing editor of Townhall.com, has noticed that the public and media outcry regarding the abuse of these eight children is almost entirely absent from a concurrent scandal of far greater magnitude:
But across the news cycle, this cry for accountability seemed to vanish when applied to a similar situation in the political world, a place where a program cost someone his life and responsibility always seemed to be the job of someone else.
Operation Fast and Furious, as Townhall’s Katie Pavlich has documented, was a program under the Department of Justice from 2009 to 2010. Its mismanagement and corruption cost at least 200 Mexicans their lives, as well as the life of a U.S. border agent. That is a hefty body count. Yet Attorney General Eric Holder, in that position from 2009 till now, has claimed he knew nothing of it till 2011 (and his story has changed at least once on when the program was brought to his attention). He has refused to apologize to the border agent’s family.
There hasn’t been a grand cleaning of house sweep that people are hinting could happen in the Penn State situation. There were a couple reassignments. In fact, a few people got a promotion. One guy, the acting ATF director, got a demotion but remained in the Justice Department. The U.S. Attorney for Arizona resigned.
The cries for Eric Holder’s resignation have been limited to the NRA and a few members of Congress. They have not dominated the court of public opinion.
But shouldn’t Holder be just as guilty by the standards people are using to judge Joe Paterno?
This does not amount to any minimization of Penn State’s scandal: Meinecke’s observation of accountability is entirely valid.
Operation Fast and Furious saw a multi-agency federal task force send more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa drug cartel, in just one of ten alleged gunwalking programs in five states run by the federal government. Mexican Attorney General Marisela Morales has claimed that weapons traced to Operation Fast and Furious have been traced to the homicides of 200 Mexican citizens.
Along the lines of this great narrative is another two well worth the time to read;
No comments I can think of exemplify as do the authors own words.

“who were forced to follow specific orders from their supervisors not to intervene or interdict the weapons as they disappeared over the border.”
I realize that the concept of ‘unlawful order’ is a military one, but even in a civilian agency, at what point does ‘following orders’ stop absolving a person of blame? This entire situation could have been prevented if any number of people involved had simply stood up and said no, this is wrong. Were their careers really more important than the entirely foreseeable consequences of running guns to violent drug cartels?
As federal agents watched, guns that they had been knowingly transferred to Mexican drug cartels were used in HUNDREDS of Mexican homicides (and, it seems, several American homicides) – that we know about. But it wasn’t until a Border Patrol agent was killed that somebody finally decided to speak out against this program. While I’m grateful that someone brought attention to this, it should never have taken so long for somebody to do the right thing.
If nothing else, this story puts the lie to the leftist myth of a benevolent government. If you can’t trust your government, you can’t justify giving them more money and power.
Come to think of it, that’s probably a large part of the reason the MSM won’t touch the story.
Your right, you would think so. When so many agents go along with this, you begin to understand how the Nazi’s were able to get so much evil done through so many ordinary people.
As US soldiers we’re the only military in the world that is taught the difference between a lawful order and unlawful orders. The criteria the military uses to teach this is ‘Morality. Funny isn’t it?
When so many agents go along with this, you begin to understand how the Nazi’s were able to get so much evil done through so many ordinary people.
Yep
It’s dry as dirt, but Goldhagen’s “Hitler’s Willing Executioners” is a good study on this. The image is the black-clad mymidons of the SS, but the reality is the men who ran the transportation and the camps had a lot more in common with jail guards and sheriff’s deputies than with elite military units.
Chiefparker, this part of your remarks is incorrect: “… we’re the only military in the world that is taught the difference between a lawful order and unlawful orders. …”
The U.S. military is not alone in this.
You failed to give me an example or evidence of this. I didn’t see it anywhere when I served. According to my drill we’re the only military and I think I’ll take his word over yours.
Have you ever noticed how little we read about Hitler’s rise and consolidation of power in Germany from the German newspapers of the era? This anomaly struck me a few years back, and I haven’t heard a good explanation of why that would be. You would think that they would be a treasure trove of insight into how a nation got seduced by a madman. In all the books I’ve read on the rise of the Third Reich, I don’t remember seeing translations worrying about the troubling activities of a small, but growing extremist movement. Those kinds of articles I think would be fascinating to historians. As with the coverage of the OWS protests, I imagine the German media was probably applauding the plucky National Socialists.
I think the obvious answer is that German media was in the tank with Hitler from the very beginning. Not just uncritical, but as ideological siblings. It isn’t researched because it would undermine the modern rubric that the German public was unaware of just who Hitler and his Nazis were, until it was too late. I don’t think the Nazis seized the German media. I don’t think there was any SS troopers storming the major newsrooms. There was no need, because the German media was with them all along. All they had to do was remove the token dissenting voices.
In the current state of American media, It wouldn’t take much to remove the outnumbered conservative journalists. It would just be the completion of the steady transition that has been going on for 60 years. The state run media is already 90% here. Of course, that’s only if the State is a Fascist Progressive one. As a Constitutional State, the media remains independent, as their ideologies are anathema to one another. The current occupant of the White House seems taking cues from der Fuhrer himself. The only thing left is for Obama to turn his union thugs into a paramilitary force (and maybe even give them brown shirts).
“Merit System” employees of governments at all levels have about the same body of rights. Most federal programs require that the recipient have a “merit system,” so most states just emulate the US and political subdivisions of the states emulate the states. Some union contracts may confer a different or greater body of rights.
The only fairly reliable way to get fired by a public employer is to overtly refuse to follow an order. The two generally recognized defenses to following a direct order are that the order is unlawful and the order is unsafe. If you are given a direct order by a proper authority and you refuse it because you believe it unlawful, you’d damn well better be right! If you’re right, your boss is likely to be disciplined, dismissed, or prosecuted. If you’re wrong, you’re likely to be disciplined, dismissed and possibly sued or prosecuted. It is a high stakes game if you need the job. And, just so you understand how high the stakes are, your boss is a lot closer to the lawyers than you are and the natural tendency of government lawyers is to take the position that most defends the government’s interest. Since the government is respondeat superior, it is going to do whatever it can to demonstrate that its agent, the boss, didn’t give an unlawful order. That’s a legalistic way of saying what we all know, “the turd always rolls downhill.”
Frankly, most public employees in positions that involve conflict and confrontation are very, very cynical about what is “right,” and they know that in a contest between them and the boss, the boss will most likely be right. They shrug their shoulders, say, “it’s your nickel,” and do what they’re ordered. In over twenty years of employee relations I never saw a single “unlawful order” defense to insubordination or similar charges. I did see a lot of “whistleblower” defenses to charges based on misconduct or poor performance. When disciplined or dismissed the employee would claim the action was in retaliation for their being a whistleblower regarding some bad act by their supervisor or management. A few of them were even true.
In any event, if you refuse an order, the best you can hope for in the remainder of your boss or the administration’s tenure is an office with no windows and a seat that flushes. The best way to rat off a poltical manager is to give the information to the opposing political party and hope they’ll remember your “great service” when they come to power. If you’re in the Blue places where the Democrats have perpetual power, you’re SOL if you get crossthreaded with them; they’ll fire you and the union won’t defend you. Welcome to WalMart!
Why is it a surprise that the “word” was stumbled and did not trigger immediate AMERICAN MORAL RESPONSE? Probably same guys/gals that cover perverts for years at Penn State and the perp’s kid charity. There are children who were raped by that SOB and the FEMALE judge who is married, no kids, lives with hubby and dogs, set him back on the street. She “volunteers” at the perp’s charity. Does she like kids tooooo? Hey, why not. Isn’t she astute and smart enough to recognize what’s going on with kids where she is “volunteering” for years? When you go get that idiot off the street and bounce that female off the bench, then come back and talk about these people who cover their own arses and let others be murdered. What’s the diff? If there is ANYONE in PA with morals, they will stand up and fight. Doubt it will happen, they are like the weirdos in Oregon. If we have any investigative reporters they might hop on down to the border and ask some of those Federal Agents if they are Penn State grads or relatives, and if they are from Oregon or relatives of the Oreganders whose state is now known as the Sex Trade Capital of the USA, and they wear the title proudly. Question is, will they defend that title from the new contender, PENNSYLVANIA?
“Were their careers really more important than the entirely foreseeable consequences of running guns to violent drug cartels?” Yes.
Accountability is for Joe Paterno, not left/liberal government types.
Due to extensive coverage by the media DOZENS of Americans now know “Fast & Furious” isn’t just a movie anymore. Face it…the actual murders of hundreds of Mexicans & at least one US border agent (by guns sold to cartels under the direction of the American government) just don’t carry the sympathy factor of 8 boys allegedly abused over the last 15 years. Besides, the dismantling of Penn State would be a triumph for the MSM. A blemish on the Obama administration would be a tragedy…and they’ll have no part in it.
Until the main stream media is held accountable for NOT pushing this story nothing will never get better.
Conservatives need to stop purchasing liberal biased newspapers and stop watching liberal biased news (entertainment) programs.
When the NY Times, NBC, etc. feels it in their wallet, then they will start to change.
did newsweak change when it was sold for a dollar?
Here is the reality of working for the federal government. Any order that you refuse to comply with, including an illegal one, will result in your demise. The managers of that agency will ensure that your career is destroyed. And, if you have recourse to the courts, the chances your case will suceed, are minimal. Only a very small percentage of employee cases against the government are successful. And even if you are, your career is still over.The pressure to comply is immense.
Our government is corrupt to the core. It does not follow the laws laid down for you and I because who is going to hold them accountable.
Ronald Reagan said –The government is like a babies alimentary canal, a healthy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other.
That baby has grown to a vile adolescent teenager and must be roped in.
I implore everyone to go and look at this:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/15/politics/fast-and-furious/index.html
You don’t need to know anything about the facts of Operation Fast and Furious to recognize that that news item from CNN is ridiculously biased. If you do know any of the important, known facts about Fast and Furious, you will recognize that they are not present in the news item. How can this be acceptable? I did a Google search, and CNN.com is supposedly the 2nd most popular source of news on the web. Their coverage of Fast and Furious has been almost nonexistent, and what little they have done has been almost as poor as the news item. I can’t speak for their television programming, but their website is horrendous. How is this acceptable? What country am I living in? Look, I understand the Solyndra scandal. Yes, it is a scandal, but I can’t confess to being all that shocked about it. The hiring practices in the DOJ? Sure, scandalous. The dropping of the Black Panther case? Somewhat disturbing, but not really all that surprising. Fast and Furious is way beyond any of these, AND MAJOR MEDIA OUTLETS JUST DON’T CARE. Where’s the outrage?
History Commies Gun Running. Know and remember or repeat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_Litvinov
Greg,
After reading that article you linked to I can’t see why everyone is getting so upset. I mean according to that it was just a gunsting by the BATFE and as far as I can tell from that there were only a couple of guns involved.
I mean maybe the Mexicans were just trying to return the guns and when Agent Terry saw them armed over reacted. Of course if he shot at them first then they had to defend themselves. As far as I can tell from that article no one else was hurt. Gee, if there were maybe thousands of guns and hundreds of people getting killed then maybe we should be upset but come on now. There’s nothing like that in this article. Those mean republicans are just picking on poor Eric because he’s a black democrat. That’s raaaaaaaaaaacist!!!!! [/sarc]
You are joking, but the responses I have seen from many leftists to Fast and Furious are just as idiotic. Let’s go through the article:
“Ten conservative House Republicans renewed their demand Tuesday for Attorney General Eric Holder to step down for his handling of the fallout from a flawed gun sting operation known as Fast and Furious.”
Is it fair to characterize all of the Republicans who participated in the news conference “conservative”? Of course, the article only mentions Gosar and Labrador, and does not mention that there are 46 congressmen calling for his resignation (I think the number was slightly lower at the time of the press conference, but still, this is a relevant fact, even if they weren’t all participating in the conference). Is it accurate to call Michael Grimm a “conservative Republican”?
“No Democrat participated in the news conference and none has asked for Holder to quit.”
I’m glad the author pointed this out. One would think he would have pointed out the 40 some other Republicans calling for Holder’s resignation at this point…..
“The GOP outburst on the subject, while not new, is certain to reignite a smoldering partisan debate over who is responsible for the botched gun operation, and the attorney general’s role in managing the resulting firestorm.”
There are so many things wrong with this, I don’t know where to start. “Outburst”??? Really? “Smoldering partisan debate”??? The Republicans have been consistently saying that this isn’t about partisan politics, so acknowledging that fact is required, along with any accusations of partisanship by the Democrats. I don’t think debate is the correct word choice. There have been hearings and investigations – not debates.
“The department was quick to respond to the accusations hurled at Holder Tuesday.”
“Hurled”????? Are you kidding me?
“Holder was criticized at a Senate hearing last week for failing to contact the Terry family.”
This is true – and Holder also refused to say F & F was responsible for Agent Terry’s death, or to apologize to Agent Terry’s family during the hearing.
Of course, the article completely leaves out all of the relevant, known facts about F & F, which CNN readers will not know, because CNN has not been covering this story. If you’re going to talk about F & F and there is no reasonable expectation to believe that readers will be familiar with the operation, then it is media malpractice to not mention
1.) Thousands of weapons walked across the Mexican border to the cartels
2.) The whistleblowers who came forward and testified that walking guns goes against all of their training, and made no sense to them.
Mentioning that the Mexican government was not informed of F & F would also be nice, but not required, unless Operation Wide Receiver is also mentioned. While the exact number of Mexicans killed with F & F guns is not known, the number of F & F guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico would also be nice.
Terry Frieden deserves to be fired.
When I was a boy,ABC was liberal as was CBS. NBC and the wireservices and the New York Times tried to be “Objective” and the Mutual Network was conservative. (Mutual featured Paul Harvey and Fulton Lewis Jr. and Dean Manion) Now, of course, the New York Times is ludicrously liberal, as is the AP. NBC isn’t just liberal, it is the official voice of the Govt. staffed with ex-government employees and thir relatives. Most of my friends just read Sporting News.
The NY Times objective in what parallel universe did that happen in. How about Walter duranty Pulitzer prize winner, Times reporter and Joe Stalin’s sock puppet.
A nit, I am a nut about facts.
“The same media and public that caused Paterno and McQueary to be fired cannot seem to raise the same level of indignation … ”
Depending on recent press reports is true, McQueary was not fired. The media smear that he did not do his duty: stop the rape and report the incident to the police, is denied. He claims that he did. The conflict comes from summary statements in the Grand Jury document in which he was not the subject of interest. Depending on which press reports you believe, Joe Paterno, the recipient of possible criminal conduct, also reported this to the police.
We will learn more, over time. Errors and omissions about the Penn State horrors will be corrected.
However, the focus of the article is dead on. The culpability within the DoJ exceeds is, by an orders of magnitude, worse than the conduct in happy valley. The comparison of MSM coverage reflects a profession in deep denial.
Any one could add further comparisons: the difference between the Herman Cain’s sexual allegations, or Newt Gingrich prior sexual scandals, or even Sarah Palin’s daughter’s sorrows versus the coverage of Senator John Edward’s love child.
It is imperative, if we are to remain free, that press reports be taken with a ton of salt. If Dan Rather claims that Newt Gingrich’s access to power would be a dangerous as a wounded wolverine, we can be certain he is not fair and balanced.
PJM in on to something; they fill a vacuum.
“He has refused to apologize to the border agent’s family.”
Holder’s a coward on apologizing for people being murdered in the course of a stupid government operation, or perhaps plot to further gun control.
Moral people immediately call the liar Holder a coward. In reality he is brave, a prime example of complete devotion and service to the Communist Obama. Thus, O will protect him. Looks like Holder is not answering questions, he is formulating comments he believes will be recorded as Communist US history. He is part of O’s Changing the United States of America. How dare they! Thank God for Issa, Grassley, and any others who will take the Vulture Holder off his perch and put the arrogant feisty Commie-protecting Bull in a pen where she belongs. Laughter rocked the room when the Bull snorted her anger at being asked questions she didn’t like. Very clear to all that she received a Boost from O to paw and stampede the Hearing. Well, they are making a big mistake. Big.
The Sandusky story brings outrage comparable to the pedophile priest story, with their many similarities, ongoing over many years’ time, cover ups, attempts by institutions to put money and power interests over one of the most heinous crimes imaginable, sexual abuse of children.
Fast and Furious brings another kind of rage, rage at an arrogant and ignorant attorney general and an administration so deceitful as to think it can get away with murder in service to an apparent agenda of establishing a basis for rescinding the citizen’s right to bear arms.
“The media” are submerging (if not altogether ignoring) the latter while indulging in a frenzy over the former. What do you expect from such a duplicitous crowd ?
Janet Napolitano’s claim (under oath) that she didn’t speak to AG Holder following Agent Terry’s death must count as one of the most disingenuous and baldfaced lies of all time.
It was cathartic to see Agent Terry’s family come forward last week with their anger and disgust.
Grateful to Agent Terry’s family for speaking bravely to power. They represented their loved one and our country very well. Americans will stand with Rep. Issa and Senator Grassley and committee to bring American justice to our very damaged DOJ and all Agencies and personnel associated with these murders.
Taking down the sports department of a state university is a big enough scalp to be attractive to the press. Taking down a Democrat president is too big a scalp for them to stomach.
The Penn State pederasty scandal is all over every media source available including that which studiously avoids any mention of the Gun Walker scandal; i.e., that which still enjoys a lock on the majority of public opinion. This is the insular shield that Obama and his socialist cabal have enjoyed since the run-up to the 2008 election and will carry into his 2012 campaign should his party continue to allow him to be their flag bearer. These are his compatriots, those sympathetic and completely immersed in the same intellectually inspired but seriously flawed ideologies. Nothing Obama does short of the blatant commission of a capital crime, will be vigorously or even tepidly reported in the so called “main stream media.” That that is not obvious by now is an indication of how firmly entrenched and effective his sycophants in the establishment media are. The House Republican majorities efforts to turn this into Gunwalkergate is so far failing to achieve the public furor hoped for. Given the silence surrounding other Justice Department fiascoes, dismissal of the voter intimidation case and the Gibson guitar debacle being just 2 of the more onerous, what is the most likely scenario for Gunwalker or any other subversion of the law by this administration. Silence, obfuscation and suppression of evidence is the norm in Obama world.
The administration is NOT socialist. O and his demolition crew are COMMUNISTS. What Socialist country is strong enough to join or support O’s work in transitioning our country to socialism? NONE. They can’t take care of themselves. Greece. Look at their rampage in the streets because the take care of everybody socialist government ran out of other people’s money. They are spoiled. When they wake up, and they are in the process, they will return to the good ol’ democracy principles recognized through their history. There seem to be some real men stepping up now, we will see. So, please stop using term socialist. We are dealing with Communists. Eisenhower established NASA as an agency to protect us FROM THE COMMIES. O handed it over to the Commies. Do any of you remember Director of Nat’l Intelligence James Clapper who answered Sen. Levin’s question at a Senate Hearing by saying that RUSSIA and CHINA are the two greatest threats to the USA? Levin flipped his wig in anger, as he expected the answer to be some Arab country. Clapper was pressured and resigned after that. Wonder why. We are fighting Commies again folks, right here in River City and in every agency in our government. Let’s clean house while we can do it through Rule of Law.
Obama is a Fascist not a Communist. He’ll let you own your own stuff. He’ll just tell you what you can buy, who you can buy from, and when, where, and how you can use it.
After a year and a half in office, Obama never expected to be re-elected. Polls be damned, his purpose became the overt destruction of the United States in any manner, shape or form possible, creating chaos with every move he made. Obama is corrupt in every sense of the word.
Most likely, Newt Gingrich will be our next President.
My most fervent hope is that he gathers enough evidence to send Eric Holder and Obama to prison for the rest of their Marxist lives. Whoever voted for Obama has the gullibility of Charles Lindburgh prior to WWII. You’re a political moron.
Yes, and to connect more dots in an interdependent world, the fired Penn State president and his minions who couldn’t be bothered to investigate a child molester on the payroll botched the investigation of Professor Mann’s “climategate” conduct, giving him a pass for fudging temperature trend data to keep the global warming hysteria going. This climate change hysteria, if I may call it such, has promoted switching corn crops from the food supply to gas tanks–to the profit of agra-business and politicians doing insider trading–causing food shortages, increased food prices, and international food riots–like that Tunisian food riot that set off the “Arab Spring.” Talk about warped priorities? Who would of thought that corn shortages and high priced Iowa pork bellies could start an Islamic revolt?
Don, you have just made a connection many have searched for. Penn State. Pedophiles. Supporting their own big boy’s lil’ kiddie farm. How have they been protected for so long and by WHOM? The Dem judge looks like a protector since she has no kiddies of her own and volunteered at the kiddie farm for a long time, and well knew its owner the Pervert, and used her authority to let him go home instead of recusing herself. Authority is the reason these situations at Penn State, the Franklin Scandal, Oregon, have such big blankets. Follow the money. Penn State’s officers and Donors and cover of pedophiles – and cover of hockey stick Mann’s climategate which must have pleased Mr. Gore.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg and Deputy Attorney General David Ogden held a news conference to announce the U.S.-Mexico Border Security Policy. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/MexicoBor&…
Using lies and subterfuge to reach your objective has always been part and parcel to communists and marxists.
Of course, I don’t see how the President of Penn State didn’t see a train coming at him after he exchanged Sandusky’s promise to quit coaching for silence from the university. It was a dirty deal. Child molesters don’t change their spots.
Operation Fast and Furious, in Holter’s mind, had as its base some kind of cockamamie anti-gun part attached to it. I have no idea how it was to work.
The bigger Holder/Obama plan until now secret has been the “help Ron Paul get the nomination” scheme; code named: “Operation First Names”. Here’s the reason for it, albeit a desperate one.
At this point, Obama knows that his only hope of re-election is to run against Ron Paul.
Which is why Democrats nationwide are working for him undercover. If you saw the Fox polls over the last six months, you should have noticed Ron Paul winning most debates; to the point O’Reilly stopped publishing them.
The people at Fox mistakenly thought avid Paul supporters were “stuffing the Fox “ballot boxes”. They weren’t. It was Democratic operatives laying the groundwork for a believable Ron Paul victory in Iowa.
How many paid Dem operatives for Obama are embedded in the real Ron Paul campaign I don’t know. But more than fifty million has been spent so far to skew voting results. The latest Iowa poll has Paul first or second. Without the ObamaLeftist pumping up of Paul, he’d be at 5 or 6 percent.
How long is it going to take until Republicans realize paid Obama operatives are helping Paul’s campaign in every way? From money to organizing to votes. The Paul people are turning a blind eye to this because they’d love Paul to run against Obama.
Of course, this is another example just how corrupt and nefarious Obama really is.
We need a team of Republican lawyers who specialize in voter corruption to ferret out Obama’s plan. At the least it’s unethical. Worst, it could give the election to Obama. It’s his only hope.
Net, Republicans, if you want to be outfoxed, you’ll say, “Rachel is just seeing conspiracies where they don’t exist.” One warning, though. A second Obama term presents the kind of clear and present danger to America that has me shaking in my expensive boots.
During a second Obama term, Israel is definitely in danger of being blown off the map with Obama not doing anything substantive about it. I’m talking no retaliatory strike. During a second term, inflation may hit the United States so hard you’d be taking barrels of cash to the supermarket to buy groceries.
Folks, this is the equivalent of the Dec. 7, 1941 radar practice done by Joe Elliot and George Lockhard, the guys who say the Jap sneak attack coming; which Lt. Kermit Tyler ignored.
Obama is out to run against Ron Paul because he’d beat Ron Paul.
This nation can’t afford to let this happen. Don’t be a Kermit Tyler.
Rachel Peepers isn’t just a political writer. She’s a whistleblower. If you don’t want to blow this election, somebody’s got to dig into the veracity of my claims. The stakes are too high to ignore this.
There’s a mole in the White House. Don’t let him steal the next Presidential election. Remove him before he destroys America.
Finally someone brought up Fox News in this. They have been all over the PS scandal. O’Dummy and the other want Joe Pa’s scalp but have said nothing about the perp nor the judge who let him go early on. O’Stupid hides behind that stupid Fox moniker Fair and Balanced. My a$$. Fox has gone left. Why is all the reporting about Joe Pa and NOT the perp?
Just tonight on their business channel Cheryl Casone said that she supported government support for housing.
Let’s hear someone start saying we should eliminate the NAMBLA organization. Then watch the left go into overdrive to protect them.
When Americans return to being Americans instead of PC shackled slaves, Fox and all will be forced to report facts not brainwashing. Clearly MSM is covering the Penn State pedophile just like da judge enabled him to hit the streets again. He speaks as if he is confident he is protected. See him on tv when taken to car in handcuffs, he is unflustered, as if this is a momentary experience that will be over soon. Very confident. There seems to be a huge pedophile movement in our country. Very well protected by some politicians and former politicians. A network across the USA. Many children are “disappeared” in such expert methods that LE and FBI claim they can’t find them. Looks like they are afraid to find them. So, something is very very wrong. Case of Kyron Horman, 7 y/o boy disappeared from his school building in Portland OR is a prime example.

What I am seeing is a concentrated effort to make all of these ‘border jumping gun stories’ fall into a really stupid kind of – ‘Mistake At The Rio Grande’ – staring Eric Holder and the Justice Department.
The man is lying – his department has been caught in the middle of an attempt to set up the gun owning citizens as ‘fall guys’ in a weapons control scheme.
He and his henchmen didn’t talk about these programs beforehand – that’s bull shit and then some – maybe if we all send a call for Holders resignation he could get buried under a ton of paper!
The purpose of the gun walking IS to trick more of the gullible Americans into agreeing to delete the 2nd Amendment. Oh they are so clever, they think. Just look at them. The Big O, Vulture Holder, Bull JP are all puppets. Check out O’s campaign committee (what? you haven’t seen their pictures out of ChiTown? They’re camera shy but can be cornered.) Holder needs to learn to read his mail. Maybe e-mail is too much for him, so send snail mail. This is perfect season. Send Thanksgiving cards noting gratitude in advance for his resignation so that Americans can save some lawsuit money and prison expenses. (Don’t worry, we can give him back his own medicine – lie lie lie then go ahead and judicially incarcerate all involved in the murder of our American border agent.) Sign the cards Turkey Lurkey.
Ah ah ah … there are NO misplaced priorities in Left’s agenda. They know exactly what can destroy America and freedom in general, and they go after it with the efficacy of the most effective machine mankind has ever devised. No ifs and buts. It follows, almost tautologically, that the (Leftist) media would minimize or not report Gun Walker and Fast-Furious (a Leftist conspiracy), and instead concentrate on PennState, which, in this case, is a legitimate cause of outrage AND has all the makings of a ‘human interest story’ to boot. Specially if it can cloud a dozen or so egregious Leftist scandles brewing in Obama’s closet. There is no great mystery here. The real mystery, to me personally, is the incessant writings of Rightist observers who always stop short of calling a fire a fire. They would go out of their way to invent all kinds of soft condemnations of these antics of Left as ‘misplaced priorities’ or “out of touch” or “foolishness” and some such meaningless—and grossly inaccurate—things. NO. Every single act of the Left is completely and absolutely consistent with their central purpose —destruction of lives, life, humanity, and everything that is good in a human heart, mind, and soul. And because of the stupidity, cowardice, and or complicity of these Rightist writers and observers, the Left has survived, nay *thrived*, in america, and everywhere else. Talk about ‘misplaced priorities’. Let me spell it out for you, your highest priority as a Rightist writer, or any sane writer, is to call the enemy by his name, and spell out exactly what he has been doing and why. Not giving him a free pass by calling him, ‘silly’, ‘foolish’, ‘out of touch’ etc. If you can’t do it, all your other utterances are a misplaced priority.
