Tonight on The O’Reilly Factor, Kimberly Guifoyle dropped this bomb on the Holder Justice Department:

“Also, James Rosen, I emailed with him tonight and he told me that even his parents’ home phone records in Staten Island were taken. So when you talk about overreaching here… It’s an overreach.”

 

 

*Ugh* Audience Chants “Si Se Puede!” After Senate Committee Passes ‘Gang of 8′ Immigration Bill (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 8:53 PM

This was nauseating.
The audience today at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing chanted, “Si Se Puede!” after the “Gang of Ocho’ Illegal Immigrant bill was passed.

Here’s the CSPAN copy of the clip.

Stand With Arizona reported:

BREAKING: Just moments ago, to the nauseating La Raza audience chants of “Sí Se Puede”….The Senate Judiciary Committee PASSED the final, amended ‘Gang of Eight’ amnesty bill to the full Senate.

The vote was 13-5, with all Democrats, plus disgraceful traitors Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) joining them in handing IMMEDIATE amnesty for 20+ millions illegal aliens, plus full welfare and ObamaCare coverage, with absolutely NO border security triggers.

This is a shameful day for the Senate.

 

 

Lizz Winnstead : Everything You Would Expect From a Daily Show Co-Creator

Producer-Director Hating Breitbart

Lizz Winnstead’s Tweechable moment: What we can learn from the Daily Show Creator’s recent twitter disaster.

dailyshow1

As the director of Hating Breitbart, which was released nationwide in theaters and digitally on May 17th, I spend a lot of time on Twitter trying to get the word out.  It’s not about the money – I have no illusions about the commercial appeal of political documentaries, but the message of the film is extraordinarily important.  It is particularly germane now that the IRS is targeting political dissenters and organizations and the DOJ is spying on the press.  Usually when a film is released, there is an entire publicity machine that goes into action to ensure that as many people know about the film as possible, but not so much with Hating Breitbart.

It’s not that I don’t have a good marketing team – I do.  In fact, I have an amazing marketing team – I even have two publicists who regularly book their clients on Good Morning America, Piers Morgan Tonight, The Today Show, and other big shows that reach millions of viewers.  Funny thing is, they can’t seem to book me on any of the big shows, despite the fact that my film is being released from coast to coast.

In fact, it’s been extremely difficult to get mainstream media outlets to help us spread the word, and the ones that are talking about it are doing everything they can to discredit the picture – this isn’t exactly surprising, given that Hating Breitbart is, ultimately, a devastating indictment of mainstream media malfeasance.  That’s why I spend so much time on Twitter – so I can compensate, in some small way, for the overwhelming institutional resistance to our film.

So you can imagine my utter lack of surprise when Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show, showed up on my Twitter page to trash talk the film – shocker.  In case you follow these things, this is the same Lizz Winstead who 48 hours later would infamously tweet “This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.” – she’s a real humanitarian, Ms. Winstead, and funny, too.  In any event, and for the sake of full context, before Ms. Winstead began gleefully tweeting about dead children in a Red State, I had sent out a tweet encouraging people to review the film on iTunes and Amazon to counterbalance the effort to snuff the film out.  Ms. Winstead, in response, chimed in:

Dude. Who even knows abt this to suppress it?

I won’t bore you with the back and forth – Twitter is far more compelling in real time than in retrospect.  Ms. Winstead eventually concluded with, “Or maybe, just maybe people just don’t want to see a film that pays tribute to Breitbart.”

That would be a fair enough point, except that there’s a twist to this story, like all good stories.  As it turns out, our publicists reached out to The Daily Show on three separate occasions.  We were told, essentially, ‘Thank you for your interest in our show, but hell no.’  Ms. Winstead and her friends might argue, I suppose, that was because our production quality sucked and our content wasn’t compelling – so why would they want to degrade their show with our mediocre crapumentary?

Except that, as it turns out, in March of 2010 The Daily Show broadcast – for profit – footage that I had shot during the production of…yes, you guessed it:  Hating Breitbart. In fact, Andrew Breitbart, the person that Lizz Winstead believes nobody wants to see, appears twice (without credit) and is featured prominently in the footage they broadcast. And so, it would seem, that our content is just fine for borrowing, but not good enough for promoting.

So that, Ms. Winstead, to address your question, is how you suppress a film. You deny it exposure, and then you mock it for not having exposure.  Classy.  Almost as classy as mocking the dead children of probable Conservatives.

Ms. Winstead may not believe that people “want to see a film that pays tribute to Breitbart,” but her tweets about Oklahoma precisely demonstrate why Andrew Breitbart’s message was and is so important – because Breitbart passionately rallied against a media culture that has perpetually caricatured Conservatives as racist, sexist, homophobic, intolerant, bigoted monsters.  It is only within an environment where Conservatives are so radically dehumanized that a supposed Liberal like Lizz Winstead could even think for a moment that it’s acceptable to glibly tweet about such horrific destruction and suffering.  The media culture that has provided fertile ground for such callousness is what Andrew Breitbart dedicated his life to changing.  Within the span of 48 hours, Lizz Winstead went from mocking our film to proving its thesis.

Hating Breitbart is available right now in limited theaters across the country, and on iTunes, Amazon, On-Demand, and Hating Breitbart is even available on YouTube!

Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd.

Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

There were plenty of American and Gadsden flags at the rally. No wonder Team Obama sent out security.

Several young patriots attended the rally, too.

For Twenty-Seven months the Obama IRS refused to approve any Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status. At the same time the Obama IRS approved dozens of progressive applications. Today local Tea Party members came out and rallied against the abuse.

UPDATE: FOX2 News covered the rally tonight.
Here is the video:

It was a great turnout considering only two days notice.

More… 130 turned out in Albuquerque. New Mexico today.

Still More… Here are more photos from today’s protest in St. Louis.

A Culture of Thuggery… CBS Reporter Who Reported on Fast & Furious Says Computers Were Compromized by Obama Administration

Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, May 21, 2013, 11:09 AM

In 2011, CBS reporter Sharyl Attisson broke the story that Eric Holder knew about the gun sting long before he said he did.

This week, Sharyl Attkisson announced that her computers were compromised by the Obama administration.
The Politico reported:

Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter, says that her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation.

“I can confirm that an intrusion of my computers has been under some investigation on my end for some months but I’m not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity today as I’ve been patient and methodical about this matter,” Attkisson told POLITICO on Tuesday. “I need to check with my attorney and CBS to get their recommendations on info we make public.”

In an earlier interview with WPHT Philadelphia, Attkisson said that though she did not know the full details of the intrustion, “there could be some relationship between these things and what’s happened to James [Rosen],” the Fox News reporter who became the subject of a Justice Dept. investigation after reporting on CIA intelligence about North Korea in 2009.

On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that the Justice Dept. had searched Rosen’s personal e-mails and tracked his visits to the State Dept. The court affadavit described Rosen as “at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator” of his government source, presumably because he had solicited classified information from that source — an argument that has been heavily criticized by other journalists.
