“Law enforcement officials, of course, don’t like the cellphone cameras because they don’t want any check on police power. So they’ve resorted to fearmongering allegations about lost lives. But the only police officers who are threatened by cellphone cameras are those who want to break civil liberties laws with impunity. The rest have nothing to worry about and everything to gain from a practice that simply asks them to remember the all-too-forgotten part of their “protect and serve” motto—the part about protecting the public’s civil rights.”

My podcast tonight, The Jewsmedia’s Impact on the Boston Bombing, is a review of what I've been writing about here for the past week.

"nearly everyone . . . heaping disgrace upon themselves . . . I sympathize with the underlying point David Sirota was making"

In other words, everyone other than Sirota acted disgracefully.

ANDREW ROSENTHAL, What’s the Difference Between McVeigh and Tsarnaev?, NYTimes.com, 22 Apr 2013:

The argument that we should treat Mr. Tsarnaev as an enemy combatant boils down to his religion and his ethnic origin. This is the kind of logic that led the United States to imprison Japanese-Americans during World War 2, and to far worse acts of ethnically and racially motivated violence in other countries.

Jewish influence in a nutshell - moralizing to others about ideals (in this case racial equality) they don't actually believe in or practice themselves.

Andrew O'Hehir, How Boston exposes America’s dark post-9/11 bargain, Salon.com, 20 Apr 2013:

Since [the bombing], though, it’s mostly been a massive and disheartening national freakout, with pundits, politicians, major news outlets and the self-appointed sleuths of the Internet – in fact, nearly everyone besides those directly affected by the attack – heaping disgrace upon themselves.

. . .

We’ve watched elected officials and political commentators struggle to twist every nubbin of news or rumor toward some perceived short-term tactical advantage. It was as if the only real importance of this horrific but modestly scaled terrorist attack lay in how it could prove the essential rightness of one’s existing worldview, and — of course! — how it would play in the 2014 midterms. On the right, people were sure the Boston bombings were part of a massive jihadi plot – no doubt one linked to al-Qaida and Iran and Saddam Hussein and all the other landmarks in the connect-the-dots paranoid worldview of Islamophobia. (In fact, many people are still convinced of that.) On the left we heard a lot of theories about Patriots’ Day and Waco and Oklahoma City, along with the argument that it would be better for global peace if the bombers turned out to be white Americans rather than foreign Muslims. (I sympathize with the underlying point David Sirota was making there, by the way, but the way it was phrased was deliberately inflammatory.)

. . .

Our political culture is so fundamentally broken and divided that people on all sides seized on the story as a weapon and a symbol long before we had any idea who was behind the crime.

Hype incoherence. Complain about hype and incoherence. Blame anyone and everyone but the jewsmedia.

Because jewsmedia.
