Sotloff Family Furious with White House… and The NYT Buried It
Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | September 3, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 09/04/2014 8:10:04 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

The family of Steven Sotloff, the latest American journalist beheaded by ISIS, is reportedly "outraged" at the Obama administration for "deliberate leaks" they interpret as "an attempt to absolve the administration of inaction." This reporting comes Wednesday from no less a source than the New York Times, which chose to bury the news under more than two dozen paragraphs:

Last Thursday, Mr. Sotloff’s mother, Shirley, appealed to the leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed caliph of the Muslim world, to grant amnesty to her son. “I ask you to use your authority to spare his life,” she said in videotaped remarks seen around the world.

A person close to the Sotloff family expressed outrage at what he viewed as a pattern of deliberate leaks in Washington suggesting that Mr. Sotloff was killed the same day as Mr. Foley — a strategy he said the family sees as an attempt to absolve the administration of inaction.

“It was incredibly frustrating for us, because it was as if basically they were saying, ‘Don’t hope for any positive outcome,' ” said this person, who requested anonymity because he did not have the family’s permission to speak publicly....

I am rapidly reaching the conclusion that voting does no good any longer.

But this can't be. The NYT is the Paper of Record and cares about the people affected by the War on Terror!

TAN SUIT has arguably perpetrated the most heinous act of Treason in the history of the Republic.

Treason being defined as "a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state".

The release of the enemy's high command in a sham exchange for an enemy sympathizer and collaborator over the objections the security apparatus of the USA displays a basic lack of allegiance by the POTUS to the United States of America.

All 57 of them.

Obama was elected by only 1/6 of the American electorate.

So, yea, it matters.

exactly the same thing that we saw with Benghazi:

His concern focuses exclusively on political expediency and he gives very little regard he does not care for the common victims.

He is cold.

“I remember when it used to matter when Americans were killed.”

Yeah, that was only during the Bush administration. Actually, during those years, underwear on a Muslim’s head was for more injurious than an American with no head.

YES!! Because it is. We need our country back, scars and blemishes included because it is the best in the world, ever. This November is the last month Obama and his minions get a free ride in pillaging our treasury and ruining our culture.

The main stream media has worked day and night for at least the last 50 years to undermine and destroy the United States of America and for what it stands for. They have, through their deliberate lies and slander, ruined or tried to ruin the lives of countless individuals. Sarah Palin and Robert Bork being only two of those.

Now that two members of the media have been killed by those they worshiped and adored. Now that two of their members have been eaten by the tiger they rode.... Now they know how the countless decent individuals whose character they assassinated felt. Now they know how over a million Vietnamese whose betrayal that led to their deaths at the hands of the Communists felt in the last moments of their lives.

It isn’t like he didn’t tell us going in....

It’s the EFFING IDIOTS who voted for him....not to mention the ones who sat home refusing to vote against him. This strategy has cost more than lives.

The hero of Benghazi and his minion the defender of Benghazi looked into the eyes of the murdered folks families and lied about the cause and nature of the attack.

They don’t care 2 cents for these families.

Paying ransoms to...or even negotiating with...these savages is absolutely out.A rescue mission? Maybe.But how...where? I’m the last one on earth to defend the Community Organizer-In-Chief but on this particular issue I don’t see that he had any plausible options.

Yeah, and it used to be that attacking an American consulate was an act of war.

It's the last month he'll have to pillage with Harry Reid as Senate leader. He'll still have two more years after that with Mitch McConnell running the Senate and doing what Mitch McConnell and the GOP-e do best -- being ineffectual.

You got that right. I hear this all the time. “What good does it make to vote, nothing will change.” This was from a daughter of a Japanese immigrant who had 12 children. He would ask for broken bags of rice at a discount so he could feed all those children. He deserves a lot of credit, but this one child is an idiot. I no longer talk to her as she will not talk to me.

This attitude pervades the low information crowd that has essentially checked out. If you think things are bad now, wait until the eternal RAT majority decides to take everything you own through taxes and laws that cannot be repealed because the opposition is feckless. Wake up! Give up and die—is that what you want?
