The statements, which were described in The Daily Caller and other mainstream outlets in early January, were only highlighted Jan. 15 by The New York Times, which is widely read by progressives.
The Times article, which was the first mention of the comments in an established media outlet, prompted [White House spokesman James] Carney’s limited response.
However, neither the Times nor Carney mentioned the close ties between Morsi’s statements, orthodox Islamic texts and the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of destroying Israel and establishing an Islamic theocracy from Spain to India.
Since 2009, Obama’s Arab-region strategy has gambled that the region’s popular Islamist movements would become more moderate if allowed to gain power. In 2012, for example, Obama urged the Egyptian military to steer clear of politics while the Muslim Brotherhood won elections in Egypt.
Besides, Jews all over the world are safe from harm, now that the federal government will have a registration list from which to target and confiscate guns. “We’re working on extending that coverage to include Al Qaeda’s weapons,” Carney said, “but so far, they’re balking at the missile launchers.”
The Obama government has no problem with guns when they’re used by governments to oppress people. In fact they’re more than happy to provide the oppressors with all the guns they’ll need to get the job done. You Lefties better wake up because your brand of oppression and totalitarianism isn’t any cooler than the Rights brand of oppression and totalitarianism. If they have no problem killing innocents abroad –think drones — what makes you think they won’t do it here, and why the f*ck do we even have drones flying around here: over US soil?
Back in the 60s when I was a left wing war protester, we were all capable of critical thinking; how have you all become lemmings and rubber stamp approvers of anything that comes from your team? When I was young, “team-player” and “establishment” were both dirty words; now the Left is the Establishment and group-think is the order of the day. What is wrong with you people?
‘Revealed: America’s Arms Sales To Bahrain Amid Bloody Crackdown’

How about Obama’s claim that he wants to ban international gun trafficking? From the man who brought us Fast and Furious (and was rewarded with complete silence on the matter by his friends in the press)? Good f’n Christ, you’d think this hypocrisy would at least be touched upon by the media, although I suppose bringing it up now would require its leading voices to explain why they ignored it during the months leading up to the election.
Chris: Remember Orwell’s memory hole from 1984. It’s here and it is standard practice for the MSM. George Mason et al likely spin in their graves at high RPM.
Shameless cretins run today’s media conglomerates, starting with Michael Bloomberg.
“President Barack Obama’s deputies have quadrupled the number of signatures that petitioners on the administration’s “We the People” website must collect to get an official response from the White House, following a series of popular, provocative and DISREPECTFUL [emphasis, mine] signature drives by his critics. …”
I guess disrespectful would be anything that disagrees with their decrees. It’s apparent that just like W, this President does not like answering questions. How dare we question the Divine Right of Kings?

They’ll cross-reference the various “disrespectful” petitions for a recurrence of names in order to create a tallied master list for the first batch to pick up for “re-education.”
re the international stage.
used to be you could tell the good guys from the bad guys by the type of small arms they carried. The bad guys allways had mahdis or ak’s.
The obama administration is now buying and distributing all manner of soviet bloc armaments including t-72 tanks.
Subterfuge and controlling the narrative — just two of the many aspects of what they’re engaged in.
