I love the idea that when I’m watching Beck and O’Reilley,

That would be Beck and Hannity. O'Reilly sucks up to obama constantly...either he has a huge man-crush on obama or thinks his sucking up to him will save him in the end.

[top 2 toe red]

You are in the company of many...increasing daily I believe!

[Kimberly GG]

Thanks for taking the time to give all that background information. I had no idea. Do you know....has a press pass ever been taken away/revoked from any journalist/organization? If Obama fails to silence FOX, do you think he would revoke it and what do you think would then happen?

Tapper: "It’s escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations 'not a news organization' and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why it’s appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one?"

Gibbs: "Because Obama said so. Next question?"

[1951Boomer]

Right. I was mistaken and meant to say Hannity since it is he who is on at 9.

YURI BEZMENOV: To my horror, I discovered that in the files were people who were doomed to execution. There were names of pro-Soviet Journalists, with whom I was personally friendly.

ED GRIFFIN: Pro Soviet?

YURI BEZMENOV: Yes, absolutely. They were idealistically minded leftist communists who had made several visits to the USSR; and yet the KGB decided, that come Revolution, or drastic changes in political structure of India - they will have to go.

ED GRIFFIN: Why is that?

YURI BEZMENOV: Because they know too much. Simply, because, you see the useful idiots; the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet or Communist or Socialist or whatever system; when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That's why my KGB instructors specifically made the point, "never bother with leftists, forget about these political prostitutes - aim higher" this was my instruction. Try to get into, uh, large circulation, established conservative media. Reach filthy rich movie makers, intellectuals in so-called academic circles. Cynical, ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. This are the most recruitable people; people who lack moral principals - who are either too greedy or too, uh, suffer from self-importance, uh, they feel that they matter a lot. Uh, these are the people who KGB wanted very much to recruit.

ED GRIFFIN: But to eliminate the others; to execute the others, don't they serve some purpose - wouldn't they be the one's to rely on?

YURI BEZMENOV: No they serve purpose only [up] to the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in [the] United States; all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion; only to destabilize a nation. When the job is completed, they are not needed anymore. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned - when they see that Marxist-Leninist come to power. Obviously they get offended; they think that THEY will come to power. That will never happen, of course; they will be lined up against the wall and shot. But they may turn into the most bitter enemies of Marxist-Leninists when they come to power; and that's what happened in Nicaragua.

Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

"That will never happen, of course; they will be lined up against the wall and shot."

Best phrase of the interview. And the left never believes it will happen that way, even though history shows it to be true.

[MosesKnows]

Gibbs: That’s our opinion

The number one definition of the noun opinion as used in this context is:

A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof.

Thank you for sharing the links with me.

There was a situation early in the Bush administration, where a reporter named Jeff Gannon received daily press passes to the White House. He did not qualify for Congressional passes. It turned out that Gannon was really a man named James Guckert, and that he had a past history as a male/gay escort/prostitute.

His credentials were revoked, and there were a lot of questions regarding how he got access in the first place.

Of course today, somebody with Guckert's history would be named as an Obama czar.
