Tony Katz on Hannity

On Tuesday, October 4th I joined Sean Hannity on his show on FOX News Channel as part of The Great American Panel.  Joining me are Deirdre Imus and New York State Senator Greg Ball (R).  The panel talks about the Hank Williams controversy, and the real story behind the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The Hank Williams comments have created “controversy,” with two articles addressing my comments here and here.  More grasping at straws than anything concrete.  Amazingly – but not surprisingly – no comments on my accurate assessment that the Occupy Wall Street movement has the same vision as the Black Panthers.

Massa, and Serving the Statists

The Eric Massa story continues.

The story starts last week, when Massa, (D-NY) a freshman Congressman, was implicated in a potential sex scandal.  It came to light that he may have made inappropriate advances towards a male staffer.  A few days later, Massa came out with a statement saying that he would resign on the following Monday.  That yes, he uses extremely foul language in his inner office, and that the blame lies with him about it.

But now, a new story.  However, it’s a same old story.  Massa is a “no” vote on Forced Universal Health Care.  He has been in the past, and he continues to be now. The Obama Administration has already stated, in all sorts of language, that they will do whatever it takes to pass their Statist agenda.  Now, Massa is saying that the administration is behind this story – that the supposed “inappropriate advance” is total nonsense, and that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is guilty of leaking the story, and perpetuating the myth.

Massa claims that it is not a string of incidents, but rather an incident.  One.  At a wedding of a Massa staffer on New Years Eve, and (my words) of guys being goofs (as more comes out about this story, the more that “guys being goofs” is just not the case.)  Massa’s wife was not feeling well, and they both left the wedding to go back to the hotel room.  Massa then comes back to the party to sing “Auld Lang Syne.”  He dances with the bride, with a bridesmaid and then joins a table of staffers – all men, and all single (except for Massa.)  One of the staffers turns to Massa, and jokes that Massa should make his move on the bridesmaid.  Massa then, according to his account, “…grabbed the staff member sitting next to me and I said, ‘What I really ought to be doing is frakking you,’ and then tossled the guy’s hair and left, went to my room, because I knew the party was getting to a point where I shouldn’t be there.”

Massa went on a radio station to explain this story:

Stories are now coming out regarding run-ins with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, including in the gym showers.  Massa is clear in his most recent statements – the Obama Administration has launched this probe, and has made it public (and leaked it!) in order to force him out of Congress because he is voting no on their Statist prize – Forced Universal Health Care.

Where is the truth?  What is the fiction?  What can be believed?  Why is it happening?

Massa, one would think, has a long way to go in proving any legitimacy in this claim.  He already came out last week and announced that he would be resigning. He mentioned some health issues (a recurrence of cancer.)  He already admitted that he owns this reality.  There is a very open and shut case that can be told about Massa.  This latest outburst could be spun as the last gasps of a dying man.  An angry, bitter, defeated and somewhat out of control man.

But the story is too close to the reality we already know about.  The Administration will stop at nothing to pass Healthcare.  Rahm Emanuel is known as a pit bull, with a history of obscenity-laden tirades and a remarkably gruff style (even President Obama has joked about Emanuel’s profanity.)  It seems to be well within the realm of possibilities that Massa has been hung out to dry by the Administration.  That Rep. Hoyer did leak the probe before it was concluded.  That there is a concentrated effort to get rid of him, so that his vote can not stop the House from passing any convoluted version of Forced Universal Healthcare they wish.

The Statist agenda fits this story.  Nothing can get in the way of their desired goals. The ends always justifies the means.  The possible ruiniation of a man’s career is small potatoes, especially when you consider that the administration is willing to destroy Capitalism to provide less effective health insurance to people who are already have the health insurance of their choice (all in the guise of helping others,) and throw others in jail if they don’t buy health insurance.

Massa is now reconsidering his resignation.  If he does stay in the House, one has to wonder if he will reconsider the “D” after his name, as well.

*****NOTE*****
Rep. Massa did resign, as he said he would, which is strange if his stories are true. He then went on Glenn Beck’s show on FOXNews, and proceeded to look foolish. Michelle Malkin has done a great job in exposing the past of Massa as well.

I asked in the post, “Where is the truth? What is the fiction? What can be believed?” So far, the only thing we know for sure is that Massa is one strange fellow.

The Ignorance of NBC

NBC is ignorant.

It is obvious, to anyone willing to pay any type of attention at all, that NBC is nothing more than a mouth-piece for the Obama administration, and, moreover, the Democrat Party.  The resignation of Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, who was brought to the light of day by Glenn Beck, and a host of incredible bloggers and researchers, including Michelle Malkin, shows just how strong the will of the American people is.  Once we learned about who Van Jones was, and is now, once we learned about what he has said in the past, and in the past 8 months, once we saw what kind of people President Obama was placing in high-level positions outside the purview of Senate approval, we – the American people – said no.

The removal of Van Jones was about finding information, and disseminating that information.  Twitter, Facebook, blogs, emails and a dose of Fox News – that’s what it took to get the word out on Van Jones.  The removal of Van Jones shows the new “force-to-be-reckoned-with” in the United States – We The People.  The Obama Administration never prepared for this.  They probably don’t event understand how it’s possible.  They thought that they alone controlled the American people.  Obviously, they don’t quite yet know what Charles Krauthammer explained to all of us in a column just today.  Obama is mortal.  He is not superior….he’s just a man.  Maybe now they understand that the American people will not be controlled.  They will not be servants to the President, no matter what celebrity shows up in a video.

After the stunning resignation of Van Jones, NBC Washington ran this story with the following headline:

“Obama Aide Van Jones Resigns After GOP Attacks”

What are they talking about?  What GOP attacks?  Who do they think they are fooling? It is now obvious, to anyone willing to pay any type of attention at all, that NBC is beyond just a mouth-piece for the administration.  NBC is ignorant.  They are attempting to spin the resignation as the work of GOP, in order to show the Obama administration as under attack, under siege, in need of pity, in need of support against the big, bad enemy that does not control the House, the Senate or the White House. NBC has given up the ghost of any type of journalism, and instead have resigned themselves to be ignorant shills for the administration, and for the Democrat party.

It’s not enough to explain them as just ignorant, (and they are) it is also important to understand that, with this resignation, and subsequent headline, that they are irrelevant.  NBC, with daily cheerleading of Brian Williams, subsequent cheering from Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell, and the “flights of fancy” that attempt to pass themselves off as journalists on MSNBC (Schultz, Matthews, Olbermann, Maddow), was no match for the American people.  NBC spends their days and nights defending the White House, defending Obama, defending the Democrat party.  They use their money, influence, and control, to spin every message they can to distort the reality on the ground.  Want proof?  I refer you to the headline posted above.

Van Jones didn’t resign because of GOP attacks.  (And, so we can be clear, it was Van Jones who has the history of attacking the GOP!!)  Van Jones resigned because the American people demanded it.  The American people were made aware of who he is, what he thinks and what he believes.  They did their own research, and they found out even more.  They spoke up, they spoke loud, they shared information, and they got more people to speak up, and be loud.

Van Jones resigned because NBC and MSNBC are no match for the American people. Yet, NBC thinks Van Jones resigned because of GOP attacks.

NBC is ignorant….and irrelevant.
