Rush: Media ignoring Sheriff Joe death threat Limbaugh blames 1 outrageous reason for intentional silence by Joe Kovacs Saturday, March 17, 2012 wnd.com PALM BEACH, Fla. – The U.S. national media are intentionally ignoring the case of a Tennessee man convicted of making death threats against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio because the man is described as an Obama “fanatic.” That’s the claim of radio giant Rush Limbaugh who says mainstream news media would be giving the case high prominence if a conservative person were making threats against a liberal. On Wednesday, WND reported on the conviction of Adam Eugene Cox, 33, of Knoxville, Tenn., who pleaded guilty to graphically threatening Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, possibly in connection with the lawman’s investigation into the president’s eligibility for office. Among Cox’s Internet postings: “I plan to kill Arpaio first. He will be filled with a thousand bullet holes before the year is out. I promise you this. He won’t f**k with Obama. He will be buried 10 feet under and his whole family will be murdered along with him.” Besides WND, only the Daily Caller and a few local television and radio stations in Arizona and Tennessee have apparently covered the story, according to a Google News search. “You notice how little coverage this has gotten from the mainstream media?” Limbaugh asked on his top-rated program this afternoon. “Can you imagine if somebody had threatened to kill – take your pick – and it was learned that they were avid supporters of Sarah Palin? Do you think you’d hear about it? Do you think it would be all over the news and do you think the media would try to go find evidence on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page on what could have inspired this insane lunatic to go try to kill somebody? Here you have an avid Obama supporter [committing the crime].” He reminded his audience that Arizona was scene of the tragic shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and others in January of last year. “Now the media, when Gabrielle Giffords was shot, blamed Palin, and then they next tried to blame me. And neither of us, of course, had anything to do with it. The lunatic was not even political. And now we have an absolute political lunatic, a big supporter of Obama’s threatening to kill Joe Arpaio and his family and the media’s asleep. They’re not interested. The perp is an Obama supporter. “Now, just imagine if it were a conservative threatening a prominent Arizona liberal with death, and they could track it back and [implicate] Sarah Palin or some other prominent conservative. And something else we should add. Obama went out to Arizona and made this big pitch for civility, and ‘We must stop talking about each other this way and we must all now be nice and we must find ways to bridge the partisan divide.’” Authorities say Cox’s postings indicate – and his own mother confirms – that Cox is a “fanatical supporter” of Obama, and Arpaio’s ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of the president’s purported birth certificate may have been the reason behind the threat to kill the sheriff. As WND reported March 1, Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse announced there is probable cause indicating the document released by the White House last April that is claimed to be Obama’s original, long-form birth certificate is actually a forgery. NOTE: In case you missed the news conference of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s “Cold Case Posse,” you can view it here. According to Knox County Sheriff’s deputies in Tennessee, Cox has a history of assault. “I will not be intimated against pursuing this investigation into Obama’s eligibility to serve as the president of the United States,” Arpaio said upon Cox’s arrest in January. Several different Mexican drug cartels have threatened Arpaio’s life, placing a contract nearing $4 million for his execution. “Every threat will be taken seriously, and the sheriff knows that his position often attracts threats but he draws the line when his family is threatened,” said Deputy Chief David Trombi, whose detectives have overseen the threat investigations. The Cox investigation first took Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies from Arizona to California where search warrants were served on Google headquarters. Cox pleaded guilty to harassment of Arpaio, and was immediately sentenced to serve nearly a year in a “bootcamp”-style program similar to probation, as well as ordered to pay court costs.

Senator Galloway although without fault in her with resignation has created a very short time for a candidate to take her place in elections.

ken...This is from huffpost YOUR favorite news source so I sure you will actually read this? AMERICA, THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL! WAKE UP! Fate Of A Nation, And The West, Might Hinge On Super Tuesday By THOMAS SOWELL 02/29/2012 thehuffingtonriposte.blogspot.ca Many people are looking to the many primary elections on March 6 — "Super Tuesday" — to clarify where this year's Republican nomination campaign is headed. It may clarify far more than that, including the future of this nation and of Western civilization. If a clear winner with a commanding lead emerges, the question then becomes whether that candidate is someone who is likely to defeat Barack Obama. If not, then the fate of America — and of Western nations, including Israel — will be left in the hands of a man with a lifelong hostility to Western values and Western interests. President Obama is such a genial man that many people, across the ideological space, cannot see him as a danger. For every hundred people who can see his geniality, probably only a handful see the grave danger his warped policies and ruthless tactics pose to a whole way of life that has given generation after generation of Americans unprecedented freedom and prosperity. The election next November will not be just another election, and the stakes add up to far more than the sum of the individual issues. Moreover, if re-elected and facing no future election, whatever political constraints may have limited how far Obama would push his radical agenda will be gone. Best Candidate? He would have the closest thing to a blank check. Nothing could stop him but impeachment or a military coup, and both are very unlikely. A genial corrupter is all the more dangerous for being genial. The four remaining Republican candidates have to be judged not simply by whether they would make good presidents, but by how well they can cut through Obama's personal popularity and glib rhetoric to alert the voters as to the stakes in this year's election. Ron Paul? Even those of us who agree with much of his domestic agenda, including getting rid of the Federal Reserve System, cannot believe that his happy-go-lucky attitude toward Iran's getting a nuclear weapon represents anything other than a grave danger to the whole Western World. Rick Santorum has possibilities, but can he survive the media's constant attempts to paint him as some kind of religious nut who would use the government to impose his views on others? And, if he can, will he also be able to go toe-to-toe with Obama in debates? I would not bet the rent money on it. And what is at stake is far bigger than the rent money. Mitt Romney is the kind of candidate that the Republican establishment has always looked for, a moderate who can appeal to independents. It doesn't matter how many such candidates have turned out to be disasters on election night, going all the way back to Thomas E. Dewey in 1948. Choice Is Gingrich Nor does it matter that the Republicans' most successful candidate of the 20th century — Ronald Reagan, with two consecutive landslide victories at the polls — was nobody's idea of a mushy moderate. He stood for something. And he could explain what he stood for. These may sound like modest achievements, but they are very rare, especially among Republicans. Newt Gingrich is the only candidate still in the field who can clearly take on Barack Obama in one-on-one debate and cut through the Obama rhetoric and mystique with hard facts and plain logic. Nor is this just a matter of having a gift of gab. Gingrich has a far deeper grasp of both the policies and the politics than the other Republican candidates. Does Gingrich have political "baggage"? More than you could carry on a commercial airliner. Charges of opportunism have been among the most serious raised against the former Speaker of the House. But being president of the United States is the opportunity of a lifetime. If that doesn't sober a man up, it is hard to imagine what would. Does any of the Republican candidates seem ideal? No. But the White House cannot be left vacant, while we hope for a better field of candidates in 2016. We have to make our choice among the alternatives actually available, of which Obama is by far the worst.
