‘CNN Tonight’ Muddies Waters on Anti-Semitism, Downplays Omar to Bash Trump

52

The enemedia is so desperate to defame and destroy President Trump that they don’t care how ridiculous they make themselves look in doing so. Confronted with the genuine antisemitism of the Jew-hating Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar, they dredge up the imaginary antisemitism of President Trump, the most pro-Israel President in history, based on a willful misunderstanding of words he spoke about the infamous Charlottesville rally. CNN is shameless in its endless barrage of anti-Trump, anti-American propaganda. These “news” networks are doing everything they can to destroy this country.

“‘CNN Tonight’ Muddies Waters on Anti-Semitism, Downplays Omar to Bash Trump,” by Curtis Houck, Newsbusters, March 7, 2019:

To close out Wednesday’s CNN Tonight, fill-in host Erin Burnett, a CNN correspondent, and two panelists spent over 10 minutes trying to muddy the waters on anti-Semitism, downplaying Minnesota Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s long history of anti-Semitic comments because the President’s Charlottesville comments and white supremacists are the ones worth denouncing (instead of both).

Story continues below advertisement

So, in other words, Orange Man Bad. Good strategy, guys! Supposedly, some forms of anti-Semitism aren’t as bad as the others.

 

 

Burnett started the first of two segments by noting that President Trump fired off a tweet hours earlier blasting Omar and the Democratic Party’s refusal to unequivocally condemn her.

It was after reading the Trump tweet that she smugly went after Trump as a raging hypocrite, implying he’s okay with anti-Semitism and then keeping the charade going in the first question to far-left commentator and weekend host Van Jones (click “expand”):

Jones responded that Trump’s “just not a good person to make these kinds of interventions against bias and bigotry because there have been so many acts of bias and bigotry coming from the right that he just hasn’t spoken out against forcefully enough” and thus he doesn’t “have the moral credibility to denounce these kinds of things” even though Democrats should be careful to not “give aid and comfort to anti-Jewish bigots.”

Talk about twisting yourself into a pretzel.

Political commentator Alice Stewart was the lone non-liberal on hand and hit all the right points, but it came after this slanted lead-in from Burnett (click “expand”):

Never Trump darling Max Boot was the last panelist to weigh in and Burnett again tried to tip the scales, blasting Trump as “so flawed” because he “has encouraged anti-Semitic things said, anti-Semitic things, racist things, and misogynistic things regularly.”…

“Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwi, tuːˈkwoʊkweɪ/;[1] Latin for “you also”), or the appeal to hypocrisy, is a fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with its conclusion(s).” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

The deceptive tactics of the left, the twisting of facts, the outright lies are getting real old.
There were townspeople protesting the removal of the statue. They were not white supremacists.
Others who were not white supremacists went there to protest for the same reason.
There were white supremacists that went there all of about 500-600 hundred.
There were groups that went to protest against the violence of both sides, some sustained serious injuries by leftist groups.
There were many different factions of leftist groups and the Antifa.
Yes, there were good people on both or rather all sides except for the Antifa and KKK whoever.
Too bad those two groups didn’t beat each other to death.

The leftists were surrounding cars from people trying to leave and there were many instances of people trying to get away from them as they we violent.
It is actually a miracle more were not run down by panicked drivers..

Watching CNN on this matter has been a disgusting and unseemly sight. CNN, not least Donna Bash is a disgusting person, Van Jones pure scum, liars and slanderers extraordinaire, with Jeffrey Toobin right in there. It’s like watching CBC in Canada white-washing Justin Trudeau and his government’s criminality in the SNC-Lavalin bribery and corruption scandal. Nothing there folk, tens of millions in bribes, hiring prostitutes for Gaddaffi’s son, etc. were just part of ‘keeping jobs for Quebec’, the scam capital of Canada and probably the West. Just watch small-town club Canada bury this matter.

We are the LAST country of freedom and it is slowly fading and will continue IF We, the People continue to do nothing about it. STAND UP FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND OUR CONSTITUTION, NO MATTER WHO THAT HURTS. This new bill in the House hurts Christians and Whites in America and THAT is how it will all end, with the death of Christians and Whites AND anyone who opposes LIBERALS AND MUSLIMS. THEN, will America have fallen hard because IT IS THE CHRISTIANS AND THE WHITES WHO HAVE MADE THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS AS A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVT AND REPUBLIC and now evil people want to take that all from us. I see this country as a CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE NATION WITH ALL RACES. What I don’t like is a culture of DEATH AND DESTRUCTION FROM LIBERALS (DEMS & KKK, BLM, ETC.) AND MUSLIMS. Get rid of those and you will get back to a GREAT NATION RUN BY RIGHTEOUS GOOD PEOPLE OF ALL RACES AND NATIONALITIES!

ISLAM’s ideology is in direct contradiction to our Constitution. THE MORE PEOPLE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THIS, THE QUICKER THEIR EYES WILL OPEN TO THE TRUTH. Read the Hadith. It is full of death and destruction to those who ARE NOT ISLAM FOLLOWERS. That is contrary to our Republic.

ASSYRIAN WOMAN WARNS PEOPLE ABOUT ENTERING ILHAN OMAR’S DISTRICT
By Steven Ahle
MARCH 8, 2019

Middle Eastern Women’s Coalition (MEWC) director Nahren Anweya is warning people that they dare not enter Omar’s district, which is the number one district in the country for recruitment for terrorism.
….

She knows if Omar gets her way, the United States could be next.
(We ARE next. We are the BIG SATAN.)

From Breitbart News

“It is truly because of people like [Rep.] Ilhan [Omar], when the government is infiltrated and it starts this way because it happened in Iraq and it happened against us,” she went on. “Iraq used to be a country where Jews lived freely, where Assyrian Christians lived freely, where even Armenians were there, and even moderate Muslims lived until sharia law took place and everyone was affected.”

“Americans truly need to understand that this will affect you one day if you don’t make a change right now,” she said of sharia, adding she knows the early signs of genocide.

Anweya asked how the House of Representatives passed 393-0, “Resolution 75 recognizing the ongoing genocide of Christians and other religious minorities under ISIS” in March 2016 but now support representatives like Ilhan Omar. She cited Omar’s request to a judge for a lighter sentence for a terrorist supporter.

“We are here because of God, to give you a warning as Americans,” said Anweya. “We are here to tell you this is coming here, and it is here and it will affect you. It will affect everyone.”

“You will see your daughters get beheaded,” she went on. Anweya said she interviewed hundreds of families of all religions affected in the genocide in Iraq who “watched family members get executed right in front of them and that’s when reality hit them and they knew it was too late and that sharia law had taken full control of that country.”

The ATT/Time-Warner merger is on and CNN is now under ATT. Now, is the time to pressure ATT to alter the programming on CNN and make it into a legitimate news outlet rather than a Communist propaganda machine. A nationwide protest and petition should be launched and presented to ATT management to begin this process now and not wait any longer. The threat is to change your phone provider form ATT to any one of their rivals. They may well respond and the CNN evil removed or at least reduced.

* Many left-leaning news outlets suggesting President Donald Trump’s immigration

* But the United States is still the top pick for migrants seeking a new home
* The U.S. even beats other countries including Canada and parts of Europe

We dropped all TV subscriptions 2 years ago and now stream EVERYTHING. The more people that do that, the less money in the MSM’s pocket. STARVE THEM TO DEATH FINANCIALLY. We pay $4.99 per month thru Roku for OANN and we watch NewsMax and NEVER any MSM news. If you are interested in FoxNews, which has become wishy-washy and moderate, go for watching specific shows on YouTube that usually air the next day, or later that day.

BE SURE WHEN YOU STREAM, YOU DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO NETFLIX! (offshoot of liberal communications network, which pays Obama and Susan Rice).

There is so much out there to choose from, it is unbelievable, so WHY PAY FOR SOMETHING YOU DON’T WANT?

Hmmm.. Is Omar awakening a JEXODUS ?

AS DEMOCRATS NORMALIZE ANTI-SEMITISM, A JEXODUS MOMENTUM IS BUILDING
March 6, 2019
Daniel Greenfield

A high pressure media campaign has rolled out across major papers, the New York Times, the Washington Post, not to mention the usual digital media smear sites, normalizing and defending Rep. Omar’s anti-Semitic comments.

Meanwhile the Jexodus momentum is slowly building. The process is partly generational. It will decisively split millennials between Jewish and leftist allegiances. There will be plenty of leftists with Jewish last names vocally defending the DNC’s anti-Semitism, but they will not consider themselves Jewish, except where briefly politically convenient, whose those who identify as Jewish will leave.

This will be a slow and ugly process. Jexodus would make it quicker. It’s the difference between leaving Egypt and having to be expelled.

Exile is a difficult condition. Some seek to escape it. Others desperately cling to it and have to be physically expelled from it. There is no future for the Jews on the Left. History amply testifies to that from the Soviet Union to Latin America. The Jexodus is inevitable. The question is whether it will be an honorable and dignified departure, or a cringing expulsion.

I am shamed to admit I was a lifetime Democrat from Michigan and used to watch CNN. I also watched this crazy women called, Erin on CNBC. This must have been before Obama killed the “National alliance act” in 2013, that now allows propaganda to be used against the citizens.

There ARE good people in any group who are misled, misinformed, or vulnerable to being duped. JUST TAKE A LOOK AT OUR ENTIRE CONGRESS – WHAT A MISMATCHED MESS!.
I used to be one of them. I WAS A DEMOCRAT. I saw first hand how MOST of their doctrine was all on the outside, only to achieve for themselves and never for the INDIVIDUAL. I am now a Conservative Independent, not a Republican, not a Democrat, but I do have a lot of Libertarian principles. MOST LIFE-LONG DEMOCRATS HAVE NO RIGHTEOUS PRINCIPLES, which means only one thing; THEY ARE UNRIGHTEOUS PEOPLE. However, I do know SOME righteous Democrats, who are appalled by what they see their Party doing. I have talked to them. Some have left that party. Some will not out of loyalty, so I tell them that when the Democrat Party falls, so will they and that they’d better be on the side of righteousness and our Constitution OR they will never be righteous.

The fall of Greece to the Ottoman Turks and subsequent rebellion by the Rayas is almost identical to what is happening today.

The mass immigration into Greece was approved by the Government who voluntarily offered the Rayas
( christians) to accept a social status beneath the muslims who arrived asking for help, in massive numbers . The greek government ordered swords and Bola ( rocks & strings) confiscated from the Rayas and all women and girls were taken and raped to work in brothels, all men, boys and older women or girls under 6 years old were executed, usually in front of their families..and the rivers had turned completely red..
the Christians rebelled and took up arms, because of the mere consequence of their existence under Islamic law they accepted that their death would be preferable to living another day under Islams merciless rule..
