Today's Journolist Drop: Members Diss Conservatives & Suggest Government Shut Down FOX News
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 4:41 AM
The Journolist is a listserv comprised of several hundred top liberal journalists from influential American and British media outlets, as well as like-minded professors, union reps and activists. Leftist media hack and WaPo journalist Ezra Klein founded Journolist with far left crank Joe Klein from TIME magazine in February of 2007. Klein admitted that Journolist was an “insulated space where the lure of a smart, ongoing conversation would encourage journalists, policy experts and assorted other observers to share their insights with one another.” But, you had to be a leftist to join this group. It was an exclusive club. And, it grew to include 400 of the most prominent leftist American journalists who shared ideas and helped spin the far left narrative in the state-run media. This is where far left cranks colluded to spit out the DNC’s talking points and to defend President Barack Obama’s radical past and socialist agenda. Ezra Klein reportedly shut down Journolist on June 28, 2010 after leaks were reported. Andrew Breitbart announced recently that he would reward $100,000 to anyone who could provide the full “JournoList” archive, source fully protected.
Today the Daily Caller leaked Journolist files that show the disdain these leftists have for conservatives, “teabaggers” and FOX News.
The Daily Caller reported:
If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond? As he clutched his chest in desperation and pain, would you call 911? Would you try to save him from dying? Of course you would.
But if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio, that isn’t what you’d do at all.
In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.
In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”
Spitz’s hatred for Limbaugh seems intemperate, even imbalanced. On Journolist, where conservatives are regarded not as opponents but as enemies, it barely raised an eyebrow.
In the summer of 2009, agitated citizens from across the country flocked to town hall meetings to berate lawmakers who had declared support for President Obama’s health care bill. For most people, the protests seemed like an exercise in participatory democracy, rowdy as some of them became.
On Journolist, the question was whether the protestors were garden-variety fascists or actual Nazis.
“You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp. Now that it’s getting violent? Reminds me of the Beer Hall fracases of the 1920s.”
Richard Yeselson, a researcher for an organized labor group who also writes for liberal magazines, agreed. “They want a deficit driven militarist/heterosexist/herrenvolk state,” Yeselson wrote. “This is core of the Bush/Cheney base transmorgrified into an even more explicitly racialized/anti-cosmopolitan constituency. Why? Um, because the president is a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama. But it’s all the same old nuts in the same old bins with some new labels: the gun nuts, the anti tax nuts, the religious nuts, the homophobes, the anti-feminists, the anti-abortion lunatics, the racist/confederate crackpots, the anti-immigration whackos (who feel Bush betrayed them) the pathological government haters (which subsumes some of the othercategories, like the gun nuts and the anti-tax nuts).”

The right is getting violent according to Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer?
Where?
When?
Proof?
These left is evil and will not stop. They think they are cemented in power forever and we must do everything we can to stop them.
Paint the left as the evil, racist, indecent cretins they are.
Quit reaching out to these people. That’s why Gingrich needs to shut his pie hole.
This is OUR FIGHT people and we must prevail!
Militant Conservative commented:
Come and take it.powder is dry.
DesertCactus commented:
There will come a day that the goodwill of the American people will run out. When that day of patiences ends, these people will cry out for mercy, all the time they are reaching around and stabbing you in the back. They are worse than evil. They are the very media we look to and trust. These people must be punished by the public at large. Ban them from your home, your business and never give another dime to their papers or magazines. It is time to speak, conservatives, with action. It is time to stand up to these most evil of people in lambs clothing.
The Triguy commented:
Beerhall fracases? Does this idiot even know his history? The TEA Party and all it stands for are so far removed from these examples as to be laughable. And these are the people “our betters” expect us to look up to and believe? You know, there are times I just stop and ask myself if this really isn’t a dream…a sort of Matrix environment that I’ve been living in. Then I realize that it’s not a dream and this is actually happening.
Maybe he’s right. Maybe this is like the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. The only difference is that he and the rest of his beer hall crowd are the ones wearing the brown shirts.

There never was “a vast right-wing conspiracy,” despite Hillary’s claims; but there sure as Hell was a vast Left-wing conspiracy!
It was called JournoList.
kato commented:
Sarah Spitz claims she didn’t know she had that sort of hate in her, but I bet everyone who comes in contact with her knows she did.
She shows all the signs of persons with the left-wing mental disorder: arrogant posturing, limited intelligence, and evil intent towards anyone who disagrees with her simpleminded worldview.
jomojava commented:
So, Journolist was supposedly shut down on June 28th? What a shame – the Cockroach Cabal can’t stand any light whatsoever.
Rest assured, though, that they are gathering together somewhere.
justasimplepatriot commented:
They have the public schools, the colleges and universities and far too many of the young. They have the press, the unions and the government workers.
We have peaceful public assembly and protest, talk radio, conservative blogs and Fox news. Of course they they will attack there.
Notice I do not list public elections in our court. I am not certain these are not rigged from the primaries onward.
This will not be pretty.

As WaPO published details on Americas Top Secret Corporations, the Liberal bulletin board needs to be published. We want names–individuals and their associated companies/organizations. From there we can see the connections into this WH Admin. The American public deserves to know the truth.

Framing the Fringe
“what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil.. that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the harsh realities they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good even if [the] all is evil..” – bg

Your money is their power. Start buying from your local neighbors and step away from all big corporations…there is too much corruption. I have long ago written off the frothing Liberal: nothing that comes as proof is unexpected anymore. This segment of society would love us dead but is too cowardly to do so unless they are in a massive group against a few.
Be patient. Be persistent. God only knows how this thing will turn itself out. We all smell blood in the water…let’s just protect our own with steadfast determination like our founders did. Remember: We have the back bone.

Prog-Dems have been successfully blurring the lines between “right
& wrong” by their constant “it’s all about me & my feelings” excuses
for being caught mantras, not their words, deeds, nor their victims..

bottom line:
just put an R after every racist, bigoted, criminal, or (fitb) Democrats name & you’ll get a fair & balanced picture of what their kind of social justice looks like..

They use their tongues to titillate their audience of a–holes, and are ever-ready to lick up the feces that proceeds from the a–holes that they serve.

That’s why New (old) Age is so popular.

As a commenter on HotAir put it:
McCarthy was right!
Not that we needed Journolist as proof of this fact. Just more confirmation of the obvious.

Pretty obvious that there is a network from the Whitehouse throughout the legacy media. They share the same ideas, talking points and disdain for our Constitution. They are merely leftist rabble like those we fought all over the globe…The only success for leftists seems to be Cuba and North Korea. The former stuck in a 1950s timewarp dominated for fifty years by Fidel; with the help of and money supplied by the Soviets. The latter so poor that they cannot feed themselves…Even so, marxists dreams live on in the hearts and minds of some including recipients of the so-called Journolist…Clownish oafs who are being found out daily by average Americans. Their ideas are dead in the water without media manipulations and without the force of arms in communists states. Our second amendment will ultimately be our savior from these types here in America.
