Our “anthropology lessons” continue!

TUESDAY, JULY 8, 2014

Liberals defeating Democrats and the people they serve: In a rational world, no one would be discussing Campaign 2016 at this point.

We don’t live in a rational world. We live in a world where Hillary Clinton’s book tour—the book concerns her years at State—was turned into a referendum on the size of her speaking fees and on her deeply troubling comments about her deeply troubling homes, which are two in number.

A code of silence kicked in at that point among our liberal heroes. With the exception of Gene Lyons, we’ve seen no one say a critical word about the jihad which formed in the past few weeks.

In the past few days, we note that two of our bravest writers have risen to criticize Edward Klein, a visible crackpot who is out there trashing the Clintons again.

That said, no one is going to challenge or discuss the peculiar behavior of Diane Sawyer, a very powerful mainstream player. And no one will ever discuss the jihad churned by the Washington Post.

Dave Weigel doesn’t play that game, which could be bad for Dave Weigel’s career. The rest of us accept this conduct, as we’ve done for the past twenty years.

In 1999 and 2000, it was the conduct of the guild’s career liberals which ended up sending Bush to the White House. Fifteen years later, various overpaid career liberals have started their games again.

They’re repeating familiar talking-points about Hillary Clinton—the same familiar talking-points their colleagues once mouthed about Candidate Gore. Even as this occurs, the Koch brothers are pledging big bucks to take Candidate Clinton out. For whatever reason, TV stars like Krystal Ball seem to be trying to help.

In short, it would almost take an anthropologist to explain the peculiar customs of the press corps’ “corporate liberals.” All this week and next, we’ll be taking an anthropological approach to their tribal rites.

If you think the Balls can’t get a Republican elected again, you’re living on the dark side of some distant planet. Ball’s forerunners sent Bush to the White House. Ball and the rest of her overpaid crowd could easily do it again.

(That said, their hair is perfect!)

Hillary Clinton wouldn’t be our first choice if we were designing the perfect Democratic candidate. That said, Ball’s recent commentary would be our first choice if we were asked to design a recurring, low-IQ nightmare.

In 1999 and 2000, Frank Rich did the work of Karl Rove. (We’ll review his conduct later this week.) In the summer of 2014, Ball is doing the work of the Kochs.

It would almost take an anthropologist to explain such practices. All week long, we’ll examine the morés of these tribal players.

This conduct is permitted: Because Edward Klein is a visible nut, timid pseudo-journalists feel free to criticize him.

To see Dave Weigel do so, click this. At Salon, the posturing push-back was performed by Jim Newell.

It’s safe to push back against Edward Klein. Diane Sawyer is powerful.

  1. While I was reading Ed Kline's "quotes", I flashed back to the dialogues written by Ayn Rand.

    If you like gruesome films, watch "The Fountainhead".

    Spoiler Alert! You may not like Gary Cooper, Patricia Neal, or Raymond Massey after viewing it.!

  2. As one who loathes this blogger - I must say Salon is sometimes nauseating:

    The headline:

    "Rick Perry refuses offer to shake Obama’s hand "

    What actually happened

    In the interest of maintaing said discretion, Perry publicly released a letter to the president, responding to the greeting request. “I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry writes.

    These is no need to go on and on about this - Salon must issue a retraction and apologize - as simple as that.

    1. You need to get your head out yo backside - as simle as that.

      Another headline:

      "Rick Perry Declines Obama offer for 'quick handshake' at Austin Airport"

      That's from the local paper.

  3. Funny how Gene Lyons seems to have derived much of his column from Somerby, including the errors of fact about the Post not mentioning that Clinton donates some speaking fees to her foundation and the implication that the article in the Post called Clinton's fees “grotesque” and “obscene” when in fact a Las Vegas television host did in reference to a $225,000 fee to speak at UNLV.

    All in all,despite getting his material and ideas from Somerby, I found Lyon's piece better written.

    Bill Clinton was falsely charged with perjury over a private matter that had nothing to do with his performance as President.

    The minute he left his car armed George Zimmerman became a stalking hunter and a teen doing nothing wrong his human prey.

  6. Media and political watchers were somewhat stunned today to learn that Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton reportedly makes up to $75,000 per speaking engagement.
    Her spokesperson, Kamyl Bazbaz was quick to stress the majority of Ms. Clinton's speaking engagements were in association with the family's Clinton Foundation, and the money goes directly that cause. Clinton's speeches "are on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, and 100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation,” Bazbaz told the New York Times.
    However, she does appear to be following closely in her parents' footsteps. Hillary Clinton reportedly makes a minimum $200,000 for a speech, and together Bill and Hillary Clinton have made over $100 million in the last decade. The former Secretary of State has recently faced criticism for comments about her and her husband's post-White House wealth, with many wondering if her exorbitant speaking fees make her out of touch with the American people, ahead of an increasingly likely run for the Presidency in 2016.
    Meanwhile, former prominent politicians (including Jeb Bush, Colin Powell, and Madeline Albright) reportedly net significantly less than the 34-year-old Clinton, who has never held a public office. According to the New York Times, Bush makes an average of $50,000 per speech.
    Clinton, who recently left her $600,000 job at MSNBC for a month-to-month position, has taken an increased role with the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, speaking across the country on issues from epidemic disease to women's rights. Some have suggested that she may be practicing for a future political run. Either way, it looks like Chelsea Clinton will have a lucrative career to fall back on.

  7. How to restore a broken relationship and marriage ,Love Spells That Really Work Fast

    My name is Mark Davis, my family and i live in NY USA.It was after seven years i got to discover that my wife was unfaithful to me.I didn't know what was going on at first but as she got deep in the affair with her new lover, i felt that our marriage was on the rocks.I notice that she no longer light up when i touch her or kiss her in her neck and her chest cos she really liked it when i did that, she also usually get naked in front of me but when she started seeing that guy she stopped it.I remember asking her if i have done anything that makes her feel irritated when i am around her then she gives silly excuses that she has been feeling stressed up and that she need space for a while.I know when you are been asked for space its usually because there is something fishy is going on.I hired a private investigator to help find out what was going on.And in a week time he brought me prove that my wife that i have lived with for seven straight year is cheating on me with her high school lover.I had picture of her walking out a of a restaurant with him and many other photo of them kissing in public like she will never be caught by someone that knows she is my wife.I asked myself, even when we had a daughter together she could this to me.That same night i showed her the pictures that i got from my private investigator.She didn't look at it before saying, that she is seeing someone and she know that i just found out about it.Then she said that she is in love with him.At that moment, i didn't know if to kill myself or to kill her but the button line is that if i was going to kill anyone it was going to be me cos i was so much in love with her to even think of thinking to hurt her.As time when on she asked for a divorce and got it and even got custody of our daughter and i was all alone by myself.For a year i tried all i could to get her back with the help of my seven year old daughter.Even at that all effect was in vain, i used the help of her friend but turned out all bad.I know most people don't believe in spell casting but believe me this was my last option and the result i most say was impressive.And i know it difficult to believe but A SPELL CASTER Dr brave really made my life much better cos he gave me my family back.He didn't ask me to pay for what he did for me all i was to do, was to provide the materials for the spell and believe that he had the power to help me.Like he said, he was going to do something that will make her reset her love and affection for me just as it has always been.My wife told me she woke up and realized that she should have never left me that i am all she needs.To make thing clear, her life with her high school lover was great before Dr brave castled the spell they had no disagreement on anything.The guy said it himself that why she broke up with him is unexplainable.Only Dr.Brave can do such a thing contact him to solve your problem with his email:bravespellcaster@gmail.com ,or kindly visit he website http://bravespellcaster.yolasite.com .CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS

  8. I am Myrtice Annette Townse from TEXAS and i want to give a testimony. I was diagnosed of HIV in September 2013 by the doctor and it was like my world was crashing before my eyes. I was asked to go for a confirmation which i did and it proved positive. It was then i felt like giving up on life and my dreams of making it in life. I looked for a solution but there was no solution. I didn't want to die because i had vision and mission. It was like giving up in life because many people knew about my status and that was more killing as they avoided me thinking i could spread the virus easily. I came depressed and wanted to giving up on life.I have heard about spell casters who claimed they could do anything but don't know anything. I became discouraged.But because i still wanted to live a good life, i contacted many of them who only asked me to pay heavily for what they could not cure. The last one i contacted got away with my hard earned 3000U$$$ and just disappeared. I still did not give up. I went ahead contacting some many others till I met His Spiritual who told me that i sill have a good and bright future if only i wanted to live. I said yes and he told me what to do which i did and after casting the spell, he asked me to go to the same hospital and have another test. I am writing this with tears because i have seen and heard about people with the virus who died. I thought for a while i was going to die but here i am very strong. I went to the hospital and it was medically proven that i was HIV negative. I was like life was taken out of me for a second. My doctor could not believe this. I have really gone to hell for the past ten months but am happy that i now have my life back. I am here to say to people living with the virus, you can be cured if and only if you contact His Spiritual. This is not to deceive you but to give you a new life. Please i would not want to keep this to myself alone that's why i am here so the world will know there is still a real spell caster whose interest is seeing people happy and spiritually free from any oppression from the wicked. I will leave his email address so you can contact him and explain you ordeal to him. Meet him on his email address at (odumaspiratualtemplehouse@gmail.com) You can also contact him by phone his number is +2347055413648

  11. An amazing testimony on a spell caster who brought my husband back to me.. My name is Olivia Phimzile,i live in Kansas,USA,and I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with two kids.A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{tanasiajobs210@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so she spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same email tanasiajobs210@gmail.com,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to "bringing your ex back. So thanks to the Dr Tansia for bringing back my husband ,and brought great joy to my family once again. {tanasiajobs210@gmail.com}, Thanks
