White House not laughing about Sept. 11 joke

Associated Press ^ | May 11, 2009

[Free ThinkerNY]

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is keeping its distance from an entertainer's joke comparing commentator Rush Limbaugh to a terrorist.

Presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs on Monday was asked for President Barack Obama's reaction to the joke by comic actress Wanda Sykes at Saturday's White House Correspondents' Association dinner. Obama took part in the event.

Sykes jabbed at Limbaugh for suggesting that he wants Obama to fail.

[SRJeff]

What the hell pisses them off so much?

[Crazieman]

Big Brother did not laugh.

2+2 is 5.

White is black.

Up is down.

Big Brother did not know the whereabouts of AF1, the kids stole the keys and took it on a joyride.

[malia]

do I want my banks taken over by group obama?
do I want my medical care decided by group obama?
do I want my investments decided by group obama?
do I want my life decisions decided by group obama?

Do I want Obama to fail in the above areas -— yes, yes I do!!!

America’s National Security should be group obamas concern and have their whole attention.
Yet who was appointed Sec. of State —— hillary rodam clinton.

[ETL]

Not at all funny for a man with his historic roots in Islam, and who requests Georgetown to conceal a monogram of Christ when he speaks.

No leftist or commie truly believes in religion, unless you consider Marxism a religion. Obama spent 20+ years in Wright's Black Liberation "church".

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]

(some key excerpts)

["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.

I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."

SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Yes, it’s hard to know what to make of him. Perhaps like Rev. Wright, he’s latched on to the kind of Islamic socialism that Gaddafi promotes.

[slickfree]

Robert Gibbs is a LIAR, if he believes Obama did NOT laugh!

"Sykes all but said that she hopes Rush Limbaugh would be
waterboarded ... and hoped he would die!"
This is the type of civility condoned by our Pirate-In-Chief!

If any other civilian said this the Secret Service
would be visitng ... why don't they visit this Wanda Sykes (Sucks)?

What can he do next ... Rise in Three Days?
YES HE CAN! YES HE CAN BRO!



OBAMA CAN FLY, AND FLY HIGH! YES HE CAN!

[ETL]

Any chance that this is an AF jet getting ready to shoot

Don't know, but there's almost certainly 'something' significant here they're covering up.

[SRJeff]

I liked the shot of Glenn Beck and his wife, looking on politely while the audience roars.

[concerned about politics]

Rush Limbaugh, I hope the country fails, I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? He needs a good waterboarding, that's what he needs."

That's a "joke"?

To the angry, envious, radical pro-death liberals, yes, it is. To them, the concept of death is pleasurable. They seem to get off on macabre.
Look at their special interest groups. Dead babies, diseased homos, the addicted, the felons, the sloth........
They live in a very, very dark place.

[KLT]

They thought it was funny when ugly idiot Wanda Sykes said RUSH should have kidney failure...just imagine if Bush or any Republican said that about any of their commentators, we’d be meanspirited deathmongers.

[ETL]

Islam has nothing to do with it. Wright is a straight out "Liberation Theology" communist, as is Farrakhan. The "religious" angle is merely a front.

Millions More Movement rally
Washington D.C., October 15, 2005
Louis Farrakhan speech

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."... "Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Some groaned at that remark - probably the National Review contingent there.

It used to be an honor to be a Washington correspondent - it meant one had hit the big time. Now they just get a tattoo.

[alloysteel]

Calling Resident (Pres_ent) Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., or Barry Soetero, or Mr Michelle Robinson, or Sock-Puppet, inconsiderate is a slam on inconsiderate people everywhere.

This is not mere discourtesy, this is an in-your-face, smash-mouth, take-no-prisoners, scathing scorn and contempt of whatever attitudes people everywhere have of America.

This country is WAY better than that, always has been, always will be, so long as we keep the titular leaders within the bounds of propriety. The Office of the Presidency is a position that should command respect in every corner of the world, yet here is someone who will trade that high position for cheap slanders and filthy slurs. And terrorize the citizens of his own country to boot.

Obama has been one of the best recruiting tools the NRA has ever had, and probably one of the best augmentations to the sale and training in the use of sidearms in this nation’s history. Until about a generation ago, just about everybody was sufficiently familiar with the care and feeding of small arms, and there was no question about the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. This has been fanned back into a high and steady flame once again, as it becomes obvious how cavalierly the now failing nascent obama regime looks upon its putative constituency.

The Civilian Defense Service Corps is coming. Be ready to meet them at the door.

He already gave his reaction. He laughed.

Good shooting (pardon the pun): can we get stimulus for ammo prices yet?

/whistling

[Ditto]

I have often wondered why any President, not just Obama, would attend any of these media/celebrity circle jerks. At best, they are sophomoric, and there is always the danger of a major embarrassment or even international incident when these over-aged frat boys have a few drinks and try to be funny.

I don't know what they think the upside of these things are, but I can't see them being worth the risk of the down side.

[americanophile]

...perhaps. But how do you explain this:

Such a display of deference to a capitalist, a monarch (the ultimate enemy of the proletariat), and the keeper of Islam's holiest sites, is not the anticipated action of an atheistic communist or Marxist.

[LeoOshkosh]

Breaking News! White House has a sense of shame!!!

Sorry, I have to disagree. While the White House may be pretending to have a sense of shame, it's all an act. (And not a particularly good one.)
