The legacy media scrambles to protect Reverend Obama ..................................................... Flopping Aces ^ \| 02-07-15 \| DrJohn If you didn't watch Fox News, you might not even know that Obama dissed Christianity. You might not know that Obama hitched up his holier than thou pants and launched into a sermon chock full of the moral equivalence between the Islam of today versus the Christianity of centuries past. You wouldn't know. youtube.com You wouldn't have learned this from ABC, CBS and certainly not from Brian Williams as none of them covered the story. Unfortunately, the “big three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC all ignored the President’s critique of Christianity during the Thursday evening newscasts with only ABC’s World News Tonight with David Muir even mentioning that the event took place earlier in the day. ... Over on ABC, anchor David Muir spent 11 seconds hyping “a ground-breaking moment” that took place at the breakfast in the form of Obama and the Dalai Lama appearing in public for the first time. Muir also reported that Obama referred to him there as “a good friend.” Politico didn't have a story on it. Neither did the Hill. The same media that drools over every Palin family mishap refused to cover Obama comparing Christianity to Islamic extremism. So how did the Obama sycophants in the media handle the issue? They savaged Obama's critics. Check out the titles: CNN: Obama takes fire for Crusades comparison The NY Slimes: Critics Seize On Obama’s ISIS Remarks at Prayer Breakfast The entire article is garbage. WASHINGTON — President Obama may have thought he was giving a straightforward history lesson at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday when he compared the atrocities of the Islamic State to the bloodshed committed in the name of Christianity in centuries past. Complete bullshit. He wasn’t giving a history lesson. He was lecturing. And of course, the fault lies with Obama’s critics: Rush Limbaugh devoted a segment of his show to what he said were the president’s insults to the “whole gamut of Christians” and Twitter’s right wing piled on. Guests on Megyn Kelly’s Fox News show spent 15 minutes airing objections to the president’s comments. Reverend Obama adds: “There is a tendency in us, a sinful tendency, that can pervert and distort our faith.” A “sinful tendency in us.” Catch that? Us. We are all at fault for Islamic extremism. Original sin. And the media sucks it up.

Europe’s peculiar obsession with Israel. Europe is largely consumed with imposing discipline and punishment on Israel. How else to explain the efforts by the German government and fellow EU member states to label products from the disputed territories? The EU refuses to apply the same label system to the scores of other territorial conflicts ranging from China/Tibet to Turkey/Cyprus to Morocco/ Western Sahara.

REPORT: Obama’s Drone Bombings Have Killed More People Than Spanish Inquisition Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, February 7, 2015, 6:48 PM On Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast Barack Obama attacked Christians equating the barbaric actions of ISIS to Christianity. The President used his warped and adolescent version of the Crusades and Inquisition to bash Christians. He also blamed slavery and Jim Crow laws on Christians? “Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history. Unless we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place.Remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. And our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.” But truth be told, Barack Obama’s drone bombings have killed more people in six years than the 300 year-long Spanish Inquisition. Patrick Poole at PJ Media reported: On Monday of this week the Bureau of Investigative Journalism published their annual study of deaths from U.S. drone strikes, and reported the following: At least 2,464 people have now been killed by US drone strikes outside the country’s declared war zones since President Barack Obama’s inauguration six years ago, the Bureau’s latest monthly report reveals. Of the total killed since Obama took his oath of office on January 20 2009, at least 314 have been civilians, while the number of confirmed strikes under his administration now stands at 456. Research by the Bureau also shows there have now been nearly nine times more strikes under Obama in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia than there were under his predecessor, George W Bush. According to Wikipedia there were 1303 executions during the 300 year Spanish Inquisition. Another study put the execution total at around 2000 deaths.
