Leftwing 'Author' calls Benghazi "small firefight" Fox News Ends Interview After Author Criticizes Network By Sadie Gennis \| TV Guide Tom Ricks and Jon Scott \| Photo Credits: Fox News Fox News abruptly ended an interview Monday after author Thomas Ricks accused the network of bias. During an interview with Jon Scott, Ricks, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of The Generals, accused Fox of hyping up the recent attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. "When you have four people dead for the first time in more than 30 years, how do you call that hype?" Scott demanded. "How many security contractors died in Iraq? Do you know?" Ricks responded. "Nobody does, because nobody cared." Ricks went on to describe the attack as a "small firefight" before adding: "I think the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox is operating as a wing of the Republican Party." Following that statement, Scott thanked Ricks and ended the interview. According to The New York Times, Ricks claimed that the interview was scheduled for three minutes, approximately double the time he was on. The paper also reports that Ricks was called rude by a Fox News staffer following the interview. Michael Clemente, executive vice president of Fox News Channel, told The Hollywood Reporter in an email that Ricks apologized in the office afterward, but "doesn't have the strength of character to do that publicly." Ricks, however, denied that he ever apologized. "Please ask Mr. Clemente what the words of my supposed apology were. I'd be interested to know," he said in an email to THR. "Frankly, I don't remember any such apology." Watch the interview below. tv.yahoo.com

Football stars accused in racial Knockout Game Rules are: Find white guy, punch him in the face 11/07/2012 by Colin Flaherty wnd.com (Editor’s note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) *EDITOR’S NOTE: The links in the following report may contain offensive language.* NBC Sports had it half right: When he is on the football field, Lafayette Pitts is one of the most dangerous men in America. Off the field, he is accused of being even more menacing. Pitts and two teammates from the University of Pittsburgh football team stand accused of playing the Knockout Game. The Knockout Game is just one form of the black mob violence and lawlessness documented in more than 80 cities with more than 400 examples in the book “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence and how the media ignore it.” Rules of the Knockout Game are pretty simple: Find a white guy. Make sure he looks defenseless. Punch him in the face. If he doesn’t get up, you win. And that is what three witnesses said the Pitt players did just a few weeks ago. Last Friday, it was revealed they were charged with assault and conspiracy. Their court date is set for January. But that did not stop them from suiting up the next day for a big game against Notre Dame. See the Big List of black mob violence. During the match, NBC Sports mentioned the crimes only once, albeit briefly. They called it a “confrontation.” To Karl Olsheski, it seemed more like an assault. Olsheski and two women were walking near the Pitt campus when a mob of black people crossed the street to block their way. It was a Saturday night, early Sunday morning really, and the Pitt Panthers had just returned to Pittsburgh after a 20-6 victory over the Buffalo Bulls. Star running back Ray Graham allegedly made the first move. He stepped in front of Olsheski and asked “Wassup?” Graham did not know Olsheski, but Olsheski knew him. Lots of people do: He’s a big man at Pitt. The fourth most prolific running back in Pitt history. During the big game he broke off several long runs, picking up 172 yards on the ground. He also caught six passes. After stopping Olsheski, Graham called him what the police are referring to as a “racial epithet.” Which in other times and other places would take this crime to a new level: A hate crime. But not here. Not now. Not before the big game. Olsheski and the two women tried to keep moving, but Graham got in their way again. That is when star wide receiver Devin Street – one of the “most dangerous punt returners in America,” according to the announcers at the big game – punched Olsheski in the head. Unlike two other recent examples of the Knockout Game in Pittsburgh, no one died. No one went to the hospital. Soon everyone was on their way. Game over. Just another anonymous assault that more often than not goes unreported because more people are less willing to believe police will do anything about it. That is what the Department of Justice says, anyway. But not this time: All three victims told police they recognized at least one of the players. One of the attackers. One of the women shared a class on vampires with Street. The other knew Pitts from an African-American dance class. They identified other players from a photo lineup. Despite the eyewitness testimony of the three victims, authorities did not arrest the football players. Nor would there be a perp walk for these alleged violent offenders. Instead, police “charged” them with misdemeanor assault and conspiracy. The players received their summonses in the mail. University officials said they were not going to “rush to judgment” and suspend the players. After fans learned the three would be available for the contest, among the few who paid any attention at all, their reaction ranged from indifference to resignation. One student said that anyone who thought they were guilty was a closed-minded bigot. At least one viewer was surprised she did not hear more about the alleged assault. “I didn’t hear anything about it,” said Connie Gargrave Swanson of Escondido, Calif. Which means she must have been out of the room during the 20 seconds they mentioned it at the beginning of the broadcast, however elliptically. “Details in the local papers online from Pittsburgh were very sketchy as well,” she said. Through their attorneys, the players deny everything. Even being there. All three of the players charged had pretty good games against the Golden Domers. But to no avail: Notre Dame won in overtime.

Obama's "Post Racial" America 'White/Jewish City Council Member Representing NYC?' A NY City Council hopeful asks constituents: “A White/Jewish City Council Member representing Upper Manhattan?” By Rachel Hirshfeld : 12/2/2012 israelnationalnews.com A candidate for a position on New York City’s 7th Council District said he opposed to the candidacy of his Jewish opponent, whom he referred to a “White/Jewish candidate”, because he was trying “to sneak into office like a thief in the night.” City Council hopeful Thomas Lopez-Pierre wrote an e-mail to the members of the Douglass Grant Democratic Club, stating his opposition to rival Mark Levine. The subject line of the e-mail: “A White/Jewish City Council Member representing Upper Manhattan?” In an interview with The Jewish Week, Lopez-Pierre, an African American, maintained, "I don’t hate Jews; I love black people. I love political empowerment. … A black person has represented the district for many years, and we don’t want to see the black and Latino caucus be minus one." “I don’t want a councilman that represents all the people; I want a councilman who represents my community,” he said during the interview, adding that the 7th District is located in upper Manhattan, which he says has a 70 percent minority population. “They said those Jews are gonna lynch you,” Lopez-Pierre told The Jewish Week. “But because I work for myself, I don’t have to answer to anyone…” While Lopez-Pierre said he would support a white candidate whom he felt represented issues important to blacks and Latinos, he did not feel Levine would be such a person. When asked why he did not highlight issues, other than race or religion, in his e-mail Lopez-Pierre said, “So that the media would call me and I could get the message out.” Ron Meier, New York director of the Anti-Defamation League, told the Jewish Week that, “introducing race and religion into a city council election as a stand-in for qualifications is offensive to all voters in the district and offensive to the democratic process.” In an interview last week, Levine noted that he had a long history of involvement in the community. “I built a nonprofit community credit union with 4,000 members, 90 percent of whom are Latino or African American… “I’m completely bilingual and comfortable campaigning in Spanish, as I have done in the past,” he said. Levine did not indulge his opponent in a lengthy response, but simply said that the remarks were “so outrageous they don’t even merit a response.” Lopez-Pierre, who has come under harsh public scrutiny in the past, is “best known for his racially and sexually charged rhetoric,” The Columbia Spectator reported. According to The New York Times, his previous contributions to the Harlem community include running a private social club for blacks and Latinos, which women could only join as “associate” members, conditioned upon them being “35 or younger, unmarried, childless, college educated and willing to submit a head-to-toe photograph, to prevent unattractive women from making the cut.”

Leftwingers Descend on Obama White House for "Culture" Monday, December 3, 2012 michellesmirror.com We Honor Artistic Expression Hard to believe that it’s that season again. No, not “Christmas,” I’m talking about awards season, which kicks off with the annual Kennedy Center Honors Gala. Broadcast live from the Kennedy Center Opera House on CBS! As always, this year’s honorees hail from by Text-Enhance">the arts capitals of the world; Americans Blues guitarist Buddy Guy, actor/director Dustin Hoffman and all around cultural treasure, late night talk show host David Letterman. From the former Soviet Union we have ballerina Natalia Makarova who defected at the height of the Cold War (and is rumored to be considering defecting back) and from Britain, the remaining members of Led Zeppelin - John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant. The weekend-long celebration began with a dinner hosted by Hillary and the State Department on Saturday night. In addition to Bill, Hill and the honorees, it was attended by many of the regular special friends and by Text-Enhance">hangers on. Sunday’s celebration began with a Big White reception for this year’s WINners: As well as this year’s honorees: Other cultural icons in attendance: Gee, Nancy is nearly 20 years Caroline’s senior; how does she do it? She should share her beauty regimen and maybe start her own by Text-Enhance">cosmetics line. I think the remaining Led Zeppelin boys could benefit from her tips too. *(L) to (R) then and now: Robert, Jimmy, John Paul* Also attending the State dinner Saturday: Aretha, wearing a pink Cadillac on her recently downsized frame. Also spotted: Morgan Freeman who respectfully kept his hat on to keep his big brain in check, in deference to BO. Then on to the Kennedy Center, where the red by Text-Enhance">carpets were cluttered with even more of our celebrity fans and MSM cheerleaders: Alec, Norah, Jimmy, Steve and Tina. Oh, and the Sunday event allowed for wardrobe changes. Nancy chose a flock of seagulls while fellow Californian Communist Progressive, Senator Barbara Boxer wore by Text-Enhance">brown silk taffeta. I note that she, wisely, seems to be following Nancy’s beauty regimen these days. Amazing what you can afford on a public servant’s salary (that you’ve worked soooo hard to get). And Aretha, for whatever reason, chose to attend the Sunday ceremonies as Cher, in an awning. As is his style, Big Guy put his signature spin on things: *“Tonight’s honorees didn’t just take up their crafts to make a living. They did it because they couldn’t imagine living any other way,”* *“That passion took each of them from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of their profession. Tonight, in the People’s House, we have a chance to say thank you.”*
