Left Claims that Fish Ban is Hoax (Fact Checking Time)

OK. I didn't have much to do this afternoon. LOL. I originally posted RedState's story on this and it seemed to generate a lot of interest. Then someone pointed out that DU and others were claiming that this was all a hoax. So, I looked into it and the above posting is the result. I think ESPN has a point. True, the Obama administration has not actually proposed an outright ban on all fishing everywhere. But, given the total lack of specificity in the reports those around him are handing him and the recent track record of liberal extremists, global warming hysterics and animal right nuts, we have every right to be concerned what this administration may or may not do in this matter.

As with all other things it doesn’t matter, they’ll cover it elsewhere. I’m sure the clean water restoration act will pick it up. If not, the great lakes czar can issue a decree.

So now they claim ESPN is a right wing wacko outfit?

The White House would be totally surprised to learn that this document is a fake:

This administration is showing us that it has only one purpose - to turn this Nation into a Marxist state.

To that end - it will take any half-baked idea, such as this, and force feed it to the American public.

ESPN is part of the lieberal media.

They should stick with selling water mellons.

the same corporate media was quick to spread the lies that Sarah Palin enjoyed socialized medicine in Canada and that Rush Limbaugh would be moving to Costa Rica if Obamacare passes.

“In addition, the changing climate is creating the potential for other large-scale industrial threats from shipping, fishing and mining. For example, diesel-powered ships, generators and vehicles associated with any of these activities will generate even more black carbon, accelerating the melting of sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet. Further, as sea ice melts, opportunities for industrial fishing move northward.”

Ahh - One Hundred and TWO uses for global warming.

ESPN is owned by ABCDisney News, fired Rush Limbaugh for being “political” and kept Hunter S. Thompson on staff when he said that the Abu Ghraib scandal was more horrific that the worst of the NAZI attrocities.

[texmexis best]

The EPA’S ruling that Co2 is a pollutant has set the tone for the rest of this administration.

Wholesale insanity....

If this admin wasn’t a bunch of marxists hell bent on destroying our country, the story would have been treated as a joke. As it is, we don’t trust any of those pukes in dc on anything.

big bump

"This administration is showing us that it has only one purpose - to turn this Nation into a Marxist state."

Thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we tend to think we will always live in a free country and we fall back into our old habits of debating facts and goals.

Thanks for the link.

I suspect there will be more like this in the offing...just like AF-1 buzzing NYC. Unlike the more typical "trial balloon" tactic of past politicians where they'd kind of float an idea out there to see what people think of it, this admin likes to deliberately provoke the American populace with the most absurd actions and proposals, then ridicule the "extremists" that dared to take them seriously.

It's really adolescent behavior...

Gee, I though the Second Amendment protected hunting (and presumably fishing).

[12Gauge687]

What do they propose to do about Asian carp? Use CO2 to kill them off? Why not do something sensible like open the season permanently for invasive species then pay a bounty for those killed (like Michigan did with feral hogs).

[ml/nj]

that’s not a critical matter

Freedom is, to some of us.

The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting or fishing. There is no constitutional right to hunt or fish.
