In a clearly emotional moment, Pat Caddell says he feels outrage and shame for his country after listening to Tyrone Woods family speak out over the handling of the Benghazi attacks by the Obama administration as the way the media is ignoring it. He says they have no honor and repeats his statement that the MSM has become a fundamental threat to American democracy and the enemies of the American people.

Disappointed in Inhofe. He’s one of the good guys.
What a disgusting insult. How dare you compare excrement to the media. Excrement at least can serve a positive purpose.
Obama screwed up and four Americans died.
The Obama media covers for him.
Pat Caddell is upset over it.
Pat has been upset over just about everything Obama and the democrats have done for four long years.
But he still calls himself a democrat.
Glen Beck covered this last week on radio. I had a static filled station tuned in, but if I understood him correctly, Amb Stevens was directly involved in supplying those weapons.
Ann was not overly thoughtful in her comments. Caddell shamed HER. His remarks seemed heartfelt and sober, not to mention dead on target. The Judge wouldn’t have been able to interrupt him if she’d tried; and she didn’t try.
See my tagline...it’s been there since ‘08.
The upshot is that journalists don’t deserve special “rights” other than what you and I are entitled to. If they do get special treatment it is only a concession to their influence, not a matter of principle.
- ”Mainstream” journalists work for institutions which are members of the Associated Press.
- People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Wealth of nations, Book I, Ch 10
- The Associated Press newswire is nothing but a continuous 24/7 virtual “meeting” of “people of the same trade” of journalism. They must be presumed to be colluding against the public.
- The first step in any attempt at objectivity must be openness in declaring one’s own interest and motivation as it relates to the issue under discussion.
- It is impossible to be open about one’s own interests and motivations and simultaneously claim that you do not have any such motivations. That is, it is impossible to be open about one’s own interests and motivations and simultaneously claim to actually be objective.
- All members of the AP claim that all members of the AP are objective. Therefore, members of the AP are not even trying to be objective. They may claim to tell “both sides of the story” - they may actually believe it - but they are not qualified to actually be able to see the side of the story that isn’t aligned with their own interests. They don’t actually believe that there is another side of the story than their own. Of course that is difficult for anyone to do - but then, people who do not claim to be objective are at least honest in that regard.
...”Pat Caddell is heartsick over how the press is not reporting on Benghazi”...
And, millions of Americans feel the same. How does this media think they are going to fare under the chaos of a leaderless country and who do they think will take over in a war like situation at home where people are homeless and starving? It certainly will not be their guy who ends up as dictator. Where is the judgmental functioning of their brains, their frontal lobes? Where in the world can they go to have what America has been for them? My thinking is this. If they do not care to protect our brightest and best who call for help, what do you think might happen when the dictator comes for those who disagree with him at home. Not a peep will be heard from the media if a holocaust eventually occurs. Folks, what I just said is extreme, unless you look back at history which is full of exactly what is shaping up in America which eventually ended in unbelievable human suffering. Selfish aggrandizement..That is what they care about. Real leaders step up to the plate to do what the job requires. Despots do not.
...”If some day the media loses its special protections, I wouldn’t shed a tear for them. They are not deserving of those rights”...
If things do not change, that day will come.
...”Just caught the show with Pat and now Christine PELOSI is closing out on Geraldo, who is in the tank for Obama”...
Why does FOX have Geraldo on all the time? Who pays attention to anything he says? When he come up, I go to do something else until that segment is over.
...”Shun these people forever”...
When they no longer have power, they will feel the disgust coming from the public for the damage they have done to our society.
...”Pat Caddell has character. Every time I hear he will be on Fox News I tune in.
He is one of my favorites. I don’t even think of him being a liberal, he is fair and I hold him in high regard.
He will speak his mind, this is one man you never hear stutter and he never dances around the truth.
He is also a very intelligent man”...
He is all that and more. To me, Pat is a light in the darkness of the media. He is a true patriot.
“I did not see Huckabee tonight, but someone on Twitter said that Catherine Herriage told the Gov that she had documents that proves the Obama Admin was running guns to Syria via Libya.”
I did see the program and she (Catherine) did say it. It appears we have a sub-story going on here, two stories for the price of one. There is the Obama & his henchmen didn’t come to the Ambassador/our Seals’ rescue story, and then there is the sub-plot of weapons transfers taking place. A ship appears in port in Libya with arms/munitions aboard it a few days before the Sept. 11th ambush takes place. The Turkish ambassador meets with the ship’s captain, and then, on Sept. 11th, that same Turkish ambassador meets with Christopher Stevens, our ambassador, shortly before the attack by Muzzie terrorists takes place.
Why was this Turkish intermediary meeting with our Ambassador? Was it for the transfer of weapons from Turkey through Libya to be delivered to opposition forces in Syria? Was this our conduit for getting weapons to the Syrian opposition, with Chris Stevens, our Ambassador, being right in the thick of it? Why did Stevens go to Benghazi on Sept. 11th, with no announcement or fanfare or protection to speak of. And to meet with the Turkish representative, right after a ship full of arms shows up in Libya coming from Turkey? Turkey, which sides with the opposition in Syria, and wants them armed. And our involvement being to grease the skids and facilitate getting these arms through Libya to Syria for opposition use. The thlot gets plicker. Perhaps this is why Steven’s visit to Benghazi that day was kept hush, hush. Because he was going there to help facilitate an arms transfer. Perhaps, if one wants to be more Machiavellian, that is why Obama & his minions that night thought it might be a better idea to just let the Ambassador and our navy seals be expendable rather than draw attention to what the real purpose of the meeting of the two Ambassadors prior to the attack was for. Just let the Ambassador die rather than let secrets get out.
Well, that worked real well, as I must say that Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, Jennifer Griffin, and Bret Baer, have all sunk their fangs into this story bigtime. Also one mightily irritated CIA is spilling the beans to House/Senate Pubs behind the scenes, blowing the whistle on the Obama regime as to what really is happening rather than take the fall for this goon Prez.
Stay tuned, in best Flash Gordon serial style, for the next episode.
In point of fact, “journalists” have no more right to the protection of the First Amendment than you or I.
See Branzburg v Hayes

In this case was this timeless phrase:
“Sooner or later, it would be necessary to define those categories of newsmen who qualified for the privilege, a questionable procedure in light of the traditional doctrine that liberty of the press is the right of the lonely pamphleteer who uses carbon paper or a mimeograph just as much as of the large metropolitan publisher who utilizes the latest photocomposition methods.”
...”I did not see Huckabee tonight, but someone on Twitter said that Catherine Herriage told the Gov that she had documents that proves the Obama Admin was running guns to Syria via Libya”...
I wonder what else they are doing with our tax dollars.
Pat has a new fan..............me
...”I’m not the most religious of our ilk, but I am so ready to feel God’s hand upon our nation”...
Me, too. Next week, with some friends, I will finish a Beth Moore study of the book of James. It has been very enlightening. It has been interesting to look closely at what James had to say in the light of Jesus having been his half-brother.
