Newsbusters, by Noel Sheppard

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/10/2013 11:47:18 AM

A conservative doctor named Ben Carson made quite a splash this week when he appeared to lecture President Obama at the national prayer breakfast. On CNN´s State of the Union Sunday, host Candy Crowley asked her guests, "Do you find anything offensive with" what the doctor said or did (video follows with transcript and commentary): CANDY CROWLEY, HOST: This was in Dr. Ben Carson. He is a world-renowned pediatric neurosurgeon out of Johns Hopkins. He was at the prayer breakfast and he was talking about the idea of, you know, weaving the Bible into some objections

What I found offensive was watching this fat whore helping out her corrupt and deceitful idol while pretending to be neutral...

In Liberalville it´s come to this: God shouldn´t be mentioned at a prayer breakfast.

We all know what´s at work here; anyone who might make Obama appear as the fool he is should not be present.

Nice people don´t say ikky things about your religion.

And Liberalism is a God and Obama is his prophet.

Bad people will always do bad things but in order to get good people to do bad things you need religion.

Oh my - Candy Crowley, fishing for mud to sling, again!

One of these days she is going to hook into a Great White and end up, figuratively speaking, becoming a big fat "horse douver", as Minnie Pearl would say.

It would be very entertaining to see her try those underhanded tactics on Newt Gingrich.

Candy, neither you, your guests or anyone else has the right to go through life and not be offended. Half of America is offended by President Skeeter and I don´t see you taking up for us. As a matter of fact we are offended by you but that´s okay. I can handle the offense without having to whine about you.

Someone on that panel should have asked Crowley what she thinks about her covering for zer´O on Benghazi now that we know he went AWOL the night of the event.

I was shocked I tell you, shocked! That the good doctor mentioned God at a Prayer Breakfast and in front of The One. He also gave his opinion on the state of the union. I am still in shock! Candy, you offeded me when you helped Obama during the debates. You offend me when you ask a stupid question like that. Why is a speech by a conservative Christian offensive when none of the speeches by our Communist leader are offensive? How can you defend a Communist!

Candy Crowley!!! - I blame the RNC for the 2012 campaign debate debacle that allowed this FAT MEDIOCRE BIMBO to have the ability help Obama lie to the American people. In 2016 the RNC must not participate in ANY of those Presidential Committee selected debates. Republicans are soooooo STUPID - they just refuse to understand the media in this nation.

So the libs didn´t think it was appropriate for Dr. Carson to speak as he did at the prayer breakfast - I do believe they all have loose screws rattling around in their heads. Do they think it´s appropriate when Obama berates and insults the supreme court justices, congress-people and anyone who disagrees with him? What a sad world this is becoming.

Dr. Ben Carson, thank you, thank you for speaking out.

Yes #3 and if I may say so, it´s way past time that EVERY National Prayer Breakfast have a Dr. Carson be the keynote speaker.

Dr. Carson´s speech was one of the most inspiring, uplifting, straightforward, fearless, principled and profound that I have ever seen. My admiration for him knows no bounds.

Q. What do Black Democrats call an accomplished and pioneering conservative Black pediatric neurosurgeon from Johns Hopkins Hospital?

A. "Sell-out," "Uncle Tom," "Race Traitor," "House Ni**er," "Not an Authentic Black Man," etc., etc., etc.

God bless and keep you, Dr. Carson. Please ignore all of the jeering and catcalls from those still chained up on the Democrat Plantation.

So glad Zuckerberg is giving this twit her walking papers.

So I guess we see the meme taking shape: Dr. Carson was offensive. The left cannot touch him any other way, he is too well-respected as a world-renowned physician and surgeon. Clearly Obama was offended by Dr. Carson’s speech, he didn’t applaud and showed tremendous disrespect.

In America the Beautiful, land of the free & home of the brave, it is Crowley´s leading question which IS IS IS offensive!!! Apparently she was projecting that huge chip on her liberal/statist/dem shoulder onto her panel and handful of TV viewers. Why is the lefty/lib media always so eager to be rude regarding spoken words, of, ´truth to power,´ especially when expressed by a universally respected, merited and undeniably accomplished, courageous and ethical Christian American?

Read the First Amendment, Candy(?!), and get a clue about individual freedoms in the U.S.A.. The lefty/lib/dem alphabet media simply can´t stage, script, censure and edit EVERYTHING spoken by America´s free people although, ...´they try to on TV!´ s/

Apparently it never bothers Crowley when BO misquotes, misuses, takes out of context, Biblical texts. Apparently it doesn´t bother her when boobs in the media and entertainment industry exalt BO to messiahship and infallibility.

what utter foolishness. yet she still sits there and pontificates!

BUT, read Jan Schakowsky´s response.

FTA: "Well, I think that there´s a political correctness that he was trying to use to appeal to a conservative audience. ... (Breakfast) was not really an appropriate place to make this kind of political speech and to invoke God as his support for THAT KIND OF point of view [my emphasis]. But I think most of all the kind of message that he was giving shows a real empathy gap of where the American peole are right now, and I think it´s reflective of where many of the Republicans and Tea Parties are right now that we need to have an economy that works for everyone."

Aside from the extremely poor grammar, she makes the obligatory attack on the usual boogeymen, Repubs and "Tea Parties." Nonsensical! This is Dem/Lefty tactic: no matter what the subject, attack the Repubs, and/or "Tea Parties", or Bush or ---you know the list.

Next time there´s a Prayer Breakfast, better not appeal to God, what ever you do!

Oh the horror! A Black man who doesn´t believe the liberal clap trap vomited forth from the lamestream media mentioning God at the National Prayer Breakfast.Dr Carson´sspeech was a breath of fresh air and wasn´t offensive in the least. What we have here and what I find truly offensive is that we have the fat cow that did such a bang up job moderating the townhall debate asking such a stupid quesion. You see to a thick headed liberal gas bag like "Diet" Candy Crawly anyone who makes fun of DA WUN must be destroyed. Whether it be a Republican presidential nominee or an intelligent conservative Black man. Candy dear go to the nearest buffet and stuff your pie hole. I´m sure some food will calm you down from being so offended.

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

A few years after the assassination of President John F.

Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

Somebody announced a party, and the hard drinking and beer pong began. A 21-year-old Marine lance corporal, so drunk on rum and Mountain Dew she was slurring her words, went to look for Kyle Antonacci, a Navy seaman she´d been dating off and on. Antonacci soon texted his friend Mike Pineda to help him deal with her. Both men had sex with her that night. But what distinguished May 8, 2009,

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence.

Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts.
