People I Hate

It’s Thursday, gang, and y’all know what that means! It’s time for another bile-packed edition of PIH. Let’s get it on!

Kathy Griffin

Looks like someone will be spending time in Hell next to yours truly:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Comic Kathy Griffin’s “offensive” remarks about Jesus at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be cut from a pre-taped telecast of the show, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences said on Tuesday.

“A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus,” an exultant Griffin said, holding up her statuette. “Suck it, Jesus. This award is my god now.” (H/T – )

For the record, the comment itself is not the reason why I hate Griffin. The comment was stupid and insensitive, but that’s not what bothers me. What bothers me is that the comment gets zero play in the MSM because it was directed at Christians. Had Griffin substituted “Muhammad” for “Jesus,” the result would be a maelstrom of violence, courtesy of our friendly neighborhood jihadis. “In other words, it’s a huge shit sandwich, and we’re all gonna have to take a bite.” If Griffin really wanted to be edgy and hip, she would have told Muhammad to “Suck it.” She didn’t – because she knew what would have happened – and for that, she’s a coward.

Democrat Politicians

Hey, all politicians are scum. It’s just that the Democrats are a lower level of scum. They support the troops, but have no problem ripping a highly decorated general. Take these quotes from the General Petraeus raping this week:

“You have been made the de facto spokesman for what many of us believe to be a failed policy in Iraq. Despite what I view as your rather extraordinary efforts and your testimony both yesterday and today, I think that the reports that you provide us really require a willing suspension of disbelief.” – Hillary Clinton

“[T]he surge, for whatever tactical, temporary security gains it might achieve, is at the service of a fundamentally flawed strategy.” – “Clueless” Joe Biden

The foreign policy in Iraq is “the biggest foreign policy mistake ever.” – Barbara Boxer

(About General Petraeus) “He has made a number of statements over the years that have not proven to be factual.” – Harry Reid

So, to summarize, Clinton and Reid think Petraeus – a highly decorated, four-star General who has served this country in an exemplary manner for 33 years - is a liar, while Biden and Boxer thinks he’s incompetent. Because, you know, these four know much, much more about military operations than a man who has been awarded 11 military decorations and countless other service awards, right? Ya gotta love that Democrat leadership.

The Staff at The New York Times

“All the news that’s fit to spin.” Remember when the Times was a well-respected publication? Neither do I. I’d respect the Times more if it would just come out and admit it is a biased newspaper. That way, stories like this would not be surprising:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – An ad criticizing the top U.S. general in Iraq raised charges on Thursday that The New York Times slashed its advertising rates for political reasons — an accusation denied by the paper.

The ad by liberal anti-war group moveon.org ran on Monday, the day of Gen. David Petraeus’ testimony to Congress about the war and how long U.S. forces will stay in Iraq.

Moveon.org confirmed it paid $65,000 for the full page ad headlined “General Petraeus or General Betray Us.” (H/T – )

In my opinion, the mere fact that they posted such a despicable ad is an indication of their political agenda. The fact that they charged Moveon less than half the usual rate should signal the death knell of its ability to be unbiased.
