I don’t think we know for sure who they were, but it doesn’t matter. They threw down on Cooper. Not bad, but I’d have preferred it to have been Piss “The Tingler” Matthews instead.

I heard Amanpour was there and peed her pants she was so scared.

If they’d known he’s a fag they’d have beheaded him.

For years CNN had almost carte blanche in the M.E.. They had big time ACCESS. But now, not so much, lol!

They were the image mouthpiece for the M.E. in the West, helping them to keep the truth about their agenda from becoming widely known in the West. In other words, CNN has been a long-time propaganda arm for M.E. tyrannical and greedy governments.

I seem to recall CNN making the claim several weeks back that Sarah Palin had made herself part of the Tucson story by using the term “blood libel” after being blamed and bashed for days as though she had somehow instigated the event.

I haven’t heard anyone blaming Anderson Cooper or Amanpour for the riots in Egypt, yet they’ve made themselves part of the story.

F’m both. I couldn’t care less if they both get beheaded or strung up from the apex of a pyramid. Allah be with you.

I am trying to figure out which Mob to root for. The MSM seems to be pulling for the Obama Mob.

he MSM already stripped down to bare, near-nakedness, the sense of their own validation, existence staring into the blackness of the abyss, in the throes of death, rigor mortis setting in, marginalized to where you thought was already the sub-basement of ignominious insignificance, suffer a further blow to their sense of dignity, self-righteous, when their respective news superstars relegated to status of "Get The F**K out of Here" right beforee our very eyes

Stop FR. We have the FR Post of the Day

Isn’t it fascinating when the ivory tower tumbles into the street and lo and behold! It’s not my tea party mom in her track suit slamming his head into the pavement, it’s an unshaven Muzzie. Ah, the irony is like a breath of fresh air.

I'm a skeptic too---with people.....I expect little from them and seldom trust them...that goes double for kids. I am also the one who sends all the emails back with a quote from fact-check, etc. when i get them.
I do however, tend to believe that this information about 'paid infiltrators' is most likely true....it's my gut feeling. I'm going to keep my ears open and look for more info on that though....

AC got roughed up a bit, but he wasn’t punched 10 times. He has a clip on CNN narrating the jumbled video footage and there are no visible marks. Ever since the First Gulf War, media hacks have been trying to seize the mantle of “Scud Stud”.

Like I said earlier, there weren’t any “Scud Stud” candidates from MSNBC or Fox out there in the Square. It obviously was a dangerous place to be. You have no idea how a large unruly leaderless mob is going to behave.

You almost sound disappointed that he only got “roughed up” (your term) or “hit in the head 10 times” (an on-site description.) Would you have been happier if he’d been beaten to a bloody pulp? Would you have chortled? Perhaps he should have been beaten to death - would that make the assault serious enough for it to count?

The man is a member of the press, whether you like his coverage or not. He was attacked by the mob. Violence is *not& acceptable, especially against against a member of the press corps.

It’s one thing to get blown up by a mortar while you’re covering a shelling - that’s a risk. But it’s a totally different thing to get beaten by members of a crowd who are trying to stop you from covering something.

Imagine that Obama’s thugs had done that to a Fox reporter. How would you talk about it then?

Are there photos of this hideous crime? I’m assuming his nose was broken, teeth were knocked out, possibly his jaw was also broken. He might even have a concussion or broken eye socket. 10 punches to the head/face would result in some fairly bad damage. Right?

The war on Christians is ongoing and completely unreported by the MSM. Clinton got away with it in Kosovo, but we can’t let this stand.

People have to know how Islam treats other religions.

I see tonight that there was a major protest in Belgrade today. I hate to think what’s going down there.

You couldn’t ask for a worse President than Obama - amateurish and spiteful - an explosive combination. His reign will not end well for America or the world.

Who do you like as his replacement?
