Anderson Cooper and CNN: Dishonest Political Hacks (including David Gergen)

See myprevious article. I bet you thought I was exaggerating, or overstating just how dishonest CNN is. Not a chance. Thursday evening, Andeson Cooper did an "analysis" of the possible government shutdown, and it was one of the most DISHONEST programs I have ever seen. Orewellian Big Lies from start to finish--the SAME Big Lies I represenced in the previoius article, only wrose. Anderson Cooper, of course is the most SANCTIMONIOUS, dishonest political hack who has ever lived. Just keeping yuou honest, Anderson (a job which is too much for any one man). The rest of the people on CNN are just as disnonest as Cooper, but he is more SANCTIMONIOUS in his dishonesty than any creature that has ever walked the Earth, on two legs or four. Yes, and it is hard to believe, the truly despicable Cooper actually REPEATED the Juan Williams stupidity that "global warming" is a SOCIAL ISSUE. Yes, that means that my previous blog entry, suggesting that the Juan Willisams stupidity was part of a deliberate leftist plan to simply ASSERT that Republicans were holding the budget hostage to "social issues". Again, see my previious article, which Anderson Cooper PROVED to be right within a single day. Now my own brother did not even know that "social issues" is a CODE TERM used by leftists to refer to issues that leftists think only HICKS care about (family values, homosexual marriage, gays in the military, , abortion, babies without married parents, etc.). Leftists believe--wrongly, I think--that they have convinced a majority of people that "social issues" are not important when the economy is so bad. The problem, of curse, is that leftists--the worst hypocrites, including Anderson Cooper, who have ever walked the Earth, on two legs or fur--do NOT practice what they preach. Look at the continuing effort to legalize marijuana (anoterh social issue). Look at the LAME DUCK scramble by Democrats--when they COULD have been passing the very spending bill that is now being fought over--to eliminate "don't ask, don't tell". Even as this is being written, Democrat gay activists are fighting around this country to END marriage as we know it. In other words, you are only a HICK worried about unimportant things if you are a CONSERVATIVE on "social issues". These are important things, if you are a leftist, and they are perfectly willing to hold the country hostage over them. Again, the thesis of the Anderson Cooper "analysis" was that the only issues holding up keeping the government in operation are "social issues" being pushed by Republicans. Eventually, however, Anderson Cooper got directly to the PROPAGANDA point that CNN is pushing. Yes, eventually, Cooper induced David Gergen (sp.? Who cares?) to agree with him, Cooper, that the ONLY thinng really holding up the negotiations on a spending bill/continuing resolution, is PLANNED PARENTHOOD. And Cooper, e. al., even noted that this is the TALKING POINT being pushed by DEMOCRATS. In other words, the sactimonious, dishonest Cooper arrogantly admitted that CNN is PUSHING DEMOCRAT TALKING POINTS. Did Cooper have ANY evidence that funding for Planned Parenthood is what is threatening to shut down the government? NO. None. Nada. Zilch. Cooper had as much evidence for this SPECULATION as Donald Trump has that Barack Obama was not born in Hawaii. Further, I am willing to state Cooper, as is appropriate on The Liar Network, is a LIAR. In fact, it is a LIE (adopted by Fox News, including the usually better Greta Van Susteren, as well as Cooper and CNN) that it means anything if the parties are "close" on the "number". See my previuos articles. If a husband and wife agree on a NUMBER to cut from the household budget, are they "close" to a deal when the wife wants to cut that number from the husbandd's SPORTS/BEER BUDGET, while the husband wants to cut the WIFE'S CLOTHES/HAIR STYLING BUDGET? Don't be absurd, but that is what Cooper and CNN are being when they SPECULALATE solely based on AGENDA> So Anderson Cooper is a lying hypocrite and political hack. You already knew that. if you read this blog. But CNN is getting worse--sometimes worse than MSNBC (Bill O'Reilly, that pompous ass, gives CNN a pass, for the most part, and that tells you all you need to know about O'Reiilly). It just does not get any worse than calling "global warming" a "social issue", and falsely SPECULATING that fudning for Planned Parenthood is all that is holding up a deal to keep the government going. Anderson Cooper AGAIN did not even mention NPR, PBS and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others, for which Repubicans RIGHTLY want to cut funding. Remember, "funding" is the RESPONSIBIILITY of Congress--the main Constitutional responsibility: to determine what government money is spent, and to whom. NO "funding" issue is really a "social issue", and CNN actually made that point (again without realizing it) by stating that Planned Parenthood is ALREADY prohibited from spending taxpaayer money for abortions. If you believe Planned Parenthood is dishonest on that, as well as on such things as complying with statutory rape reporting laws, then you are right. Planned Parenthood is a lawbreaking organization in pursuit of what it considers "highter" goals then mere compliance with the law. Yes, the fact that Planned Parenthood is a fanatic, pro-abortion organization is a reason taxpayers should not be FORCED to support this lawbreaking organization, which has also shown it is willing to consider minority genocide in undercover phone calls. But this issue of FUNDING is NOT a "social issue".. President Obama told you so!!!! No, I am not kidding. Obama has repeatedly said that we have to make CHOICES in how we spend money we do not have. WHY should be "choose" to fund Planned Parenthood, while cutting other programs, and cutting money from more worthy organizations. Ditto NPR. Ditto PBS. Ditto the National Endowment for the Arts. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. These organizations, if worthy, are perfectly capable of getting funding from PRIVATE DONATIONS. There is no reason at all for taxpayers to fund them. By the way, tis again shows why you should vote for NO Democrat who claims to be "pro-life", because the Democratic Party is fanatic the other way. And no Democrat who opposes this orthodoxy has any voice in the Democratic Party on the issue. Any Democrat who says otherwise to get elected is lying to you, even if he truly is "personally" pro-life. Yes, I would perhaps vote for a "pro-life" Democrat against a pro-abortion Republican, but that situation rarely arises. I digress. You notice that THIS (pro-life or pro-abortion) is the "social issue". FUNDING of Planned Parenthood is a budget issue. As stated, in fact, it is the CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY of Cngress to determine "funding" as to every dollar spent by the Federal Government. Well, even if you have to acknowledge that Anderson Cooper and the people of CNN are poer are dishonest political hacks--as you do have to acknowledge--is it not at least true that it is "stupid" for Republicans to shut down the government over the issue of funding for Planned Parenthood? I am glad you asked that question. Because it reveals the HYPOCRISY of CNN in all of its glory. Think about it, before I give you the answer, as an exercise for the reader to test yourself against me (hopeless as that is for you). What about the DEMOCRATS? Do you understand what is gonig on here? CNN may not, although I hink they are simply DISHONEST on this. But do you understand that DEMOCRATS are apparently willing--from this propaganda campaign, and what it implies--to SHUT DOWN the government rather than not provide funding for Planned Parenthood, NPR, PBS, etc.? In other words, Democrats appear willing to shut down the government over a supposed SOCIAL ISSUE (although really, as stated, FUNDING is not a "social issue"). How is that any "better" than the Repubicans? In fact, Repubilcans are surely right on this. What sense does it make to make HARD CHOICES on where we spend our money, and continue to spend money for controversial organizations that are capable of raising private money from people who agree with them? Message to Republicans: I will not go so far as to say this applies to ANY "compromise" in the continuing resolution, but if you CAVE on these kind of funding "choices" because the mainstream media has INTIMIDATED you on "social issues", then I will CAMPAIGN AGAINST YOU. Why should people like me vote for you, if the DEMOCRATIC PARTY cares more about "social issues" than you do? To me, they are important. More importantlyl, it OFFENDS me that we (the Democratic Party and wimpy Republicans) should provide TAXPAYER money for these "social issues" (on the Democratic side), while CUTTING elsewhere. In fact, it OFFENDS me that the money--which we do not have--is not used to reduce the deficit (whowever inconsequential the numbers appear to be as to the total deficit). Everett Dirksen: "A billion here, and a billion there: pretty soon you are talking about real money." How did we get in this fiscal mess? Obviously, by looking upon "funding" from the Federal Government as an ENTITLEMENT. It is not just the well known "entitlements" (Social Security, Medicare, etc.) that are a problem. This mentatliy that DEMOCRATS have a "right" to "fund" their pet programs is a cancer eating at our fiscal body politic. We simply cannot afford this absurd idea that Federal money is "free money", and an entitlement to boot. Further, we have to actually make "hard choices", and not just TALK about them. If you do not realize that it is an EASY choice not to fund Planned Parenthood,, NPR, PBS, the "arts", etc., then you probably work for CNN, or elsewhere in the mainstream media. "Global warmng" is NOT a "social issue", desite the bone stupid, dishonest Anderson Cooper and Juan Williams. But, again, look at WHO is pushing "global warming" as something we HAVE to do something about, even at the cost of ruining our economy. That is BARACK OBAMA who is doing that, and he is attempting to do it by UNDEMOCRATIC means. You will remember that Obama's "energybill" (cap and trade, economy killer) was DEFEATED. But the EPA is trying to do an end run around Congress by imposing pretty much the SAME rules as in the DEFEATED law BY REGULATION (undemocratic means). This is one of the BIG economic issues of our time. You will aslso note that Democrats and leftists have attempted to USE the FRAUD of "globawl warming" (about which they do not really care) as a TOOL to impose their ideal of Big Government, anti-capitalism, on the country without having to debate those issues directly. Yes, more DISHONESTY, as leftists like Anderson Cooper don't know how to be anything but dishonest. P.S. As usual, no proofreading or spell checking (eyesight). That makes these late night articles, when my typing is even worse than usual, even more challenging for you. It keeps you on your toes and alert--also letting you feel superior to me in at least one way, when otherwise you would have a massive, total inferiority complex. P.P.S. Just to put the nail in this "social isssue" problem of my brother. My brother is impatient with "code ters" used as political propaganda, which is how leftists use the term "social issue". My brother instinctively rejects that kind of gamesmanship, and thinks everyone else does too. Thus, my brother thinks of "social issues' in terms of SOCIAL WELFARE. Therefore, my brother flatly did not understand this attempt by the mainstream media and other leftists to use the term "social issues" as POLITICAL PROPAGANDA. As I have stated, these very same people who ridicule "social issues" (NOT "social welfare" issues like Social Security and Medicare) as unimportant, are the SAME people (Democrats willing to shut down the government if TAXPAYERS do not fund Planned Parenthood) who regard these issues ("social issues") as more important than any other. Think of gay rights. Think of IMMIGRATION (part social issue and part other things). What these people mean---and I include "establishment" Repubicans--when they disparage "social issues" is that there is only one "right" side on those isssues: THEIR SIDE. Yes, these are people just like Anderson Cooper--as dishonest as anyone who has ever lived. Tehy not only want to "win" the argument on these issues, they want to PREVENT the people who oppose them from even having the right to argue at all. I have nothing but contempt for people who pusth THEIR idea of "important" social issues, while asserting that conservatives should not even pursue their own ideas because it is only the "economy" that matters. If YOU are one of those dishonest people--as distinguished from duped--who have this hypocritical, dishonest position on "social issues" then I am sorry for you. Further, I have nothing but total contempt for you. That is what I have for Anderson Cooper and CNN.
