No Apology to Palin from MSNBC After Bashir Resigns .......................................................................................................................... by Tony Lee 4 Dec 2013 breitbart.com On Wednesday, MSNBC did not apologize for anchor Martin Bashir's despicable remarks on his Nov. 15 program in which he suggested that someone should defecate and urinate in the mouth of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin even after Bashir tendered his resignation. “Martin Bashir resigned today, effective immediately. I understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC," MSNBC President Phil Griffin said in a statement. "Martin is a good man and respected colleague – we wish him only the best.” Outlets like Breitbart News and Truth Revolt, the media watchdog group, had relentlessly hammered MSNBC for its double standard in firing Alec Baldwin for anti-gay comments he made off the air while not disciplining Bashir for scripted comments he made on his program. Mediaite obtained an email from Bashir on Wednesday in which he said he "deeply" regretted his comments and tendered his resignation after meeting with Griffin: After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of MSNBC, I have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments. I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences. I would also wish to express deepest gratitude to my immediate colleagues, and our contributors, all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast. Bashir, who had previously apologized by saying his remarks were "offensive" and "wholly inappropriate," had been absent from his show since Nov. 22--with conflicting reports about whether he was on vacation or suspended. After MSNBC did not immediately punish Bashir for his remarks, Breitbart News exclusively obtained a letter that Palin's political action committee, SarahPAC, wrote to MSNBC President Phil Griffin and NBC News President Deborah Turness asking what action the network would take with Bashir given the network's history of disciplining anchors for offensive comments made on and off the air. "You fired Don Imus for offensive language in describing the Rutgers University Women’s Basketball team, you suspended Alec Baldwin, and yet nothing has happened to Mr. Bashir," the letter read. "Are we to assume then, that disciplinary procedures at your network take place based on the target of the remarks rather than the remarks themselves?" The letter concluded by saying, "Americans deserve to know that your network doesn’t condone violent and hateful rhetoric directed at anyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or political persuasion." The network, which enabled and helped Bashir produce his scripted segment, had previously said, "Martin Bashir has taken responsibility publicly for his offensive commentary and also personally apologized to the Palin family. "Bashir offered a heartfelt apology on MSNBC earlier this week where he admitted it was a personal failing to become part of the politics of vitriol and destruction. He has committed to elevating the discourse going forward." The network reportedly apologized to Hillary Clinton after former host David Shuster said that Clinton had "pimped out" her daughter Chelsea at campaign events during the 2008 Democratic presidential primary season.

President Lucifer goes after cancer patient with an IRS audit ................................................................................................... DC Clothesline ^ \| 12/5/2013 \| Dr. Eowyn We have an evil man in the White House. Wanna know how evil Barack Hussein Obama is? Bill Elliott has cancer and got a cancellation notice from his medical insurance because of Obamacare. A new health plan would mean an increase in his insurance premium of 833%. So Elliott decided he will “let nature take its course” and not get medical insurance because “I won’t put a burden on my family.” In other words, Bill Elliott is choosing death. Guess what? President Lucifer’s IRS is now auditing Bill Elliott. From Investor’s Business Daily‘s editorial of December 3, 2013: Like the Tea Party before him, Elliott faces an IRS audit for speaking out against the ObamaCare that canceled his insurance coverage he liked and was promised he could keep. He appeared recently on Charleston, S.C.’s WQSC and was told by the radio host that “you stood up and spoke out about how ObamaCare screwed over your insurance and probably would kill you, and what’s the next thing that happened? You get audited by the IRS. That is not a coincidence.” Elliott responded, “No, it’s not.” Bill Elliott had voted for the very man whose unAffordable Care Act is consigning him to an early death and who is now punishing him for speaking out with an IRS anal probe. Elliott has discovered, too late, that he’s one of President Lucifer’s useful idiots.

Ten questions to ask your biology teacher about evolution. ............................................................................................................. Icons of Evolution ^ \| 2010 \| j. Wells Ten questions to ask your biology teacher about evolution. ORIGIN OF LIFE. Why do textbooks claim that the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment shows how life's building blocks may have formed on the early Earth -- when conditions on the early Earth were probably nothing like those used in the experiment, and the origin of life remains a mystery? DARWIN'S TREE OF LIFE. Why don't textbooks discuss the "Cambrian explosion," in which all major animal groups appear together in the fossil record fully formed instead of branching from a common ancestor -- thus contradicting the evolutionary tree of life? HOMOLOGY. Why do textbooks define homology as similarity due to common ancestry, then claim that it is evidence for common ancestry -- a circular argument masquerading as scientific evidence? VERTEBRATE EMBRYOS. Why do textbooks use drawings of similarities in vertebrate embryos as evidence for their common ancestry -- even though biologists have known for over a century that vertebrate embryos are not most similar in their early stages, and the drawings are faked? ARCHAEOPTERYX. Why do textbooks portray this fossil as the missing link between dinosaurs and modern birds -- even though modern birds are probably not descended from it, and its supposed ancestors do not appear until millions of years after it? PEPPERED MOTHS. Why do textbooks use pictures of peppered moths camouflaged on tree trunks as evidence for natural selection -- when biologists have known since the 1980s that the moths don't normally rest on tree trunks, and all the pictures have been staged? DARWIN'S FINCHES. Why do textbooks claim that beak changes in Galapagos finches during a severe drought can explain the origin of species by natural selection -- even though the changes were reversed after the drought ended, and no net evolution occurred? MUTANT FRUIT FLIES. Why do textbooks use fruit flies with an extra pair of wings as evidence that DNA mutations can supply raw materials for evolution -- even though the extra wings have no muscles and these disabled mutants cannot survive outside the laboratory? HUMAN ORIGINS. Why are artists' drawings of ape-like humans used to justify materialistic claims that we are just animals and our existence is a mere accident -- when fossil experts cannot even agree on who our supposed ancestors were or what they looked like? EVOLUTION A FACT? Why are we told that Darwin's theory of evolution is a scientific fact -- even though many of its claims are based on misrepresentations of the facts?
