John McCain's 'Heroes' Plant al-Qaeda Flag atop Benghazi, Libya Courthouse

File this in the 'that didn't take long' department. Perhaps the only thing more inexplicable than an al-Qaeda flag being planted atop the Benghazi, Libya courthouse are the words of Senator John McCain earlier this year as he visited Benghazi. While talking with al-Jazeera, McCain referred to the Libyan rebels who would eventually sodomize Moammar Gadhafi with a stick as his 'heroes.' McCain would later walk down the street where his 'heroes' had beheaded a man for allegedly being black. It is shocking that members of the American public who have jobs and supposedly don't have time to keep up with world events, knew McCain was wrong and either completely ignorant or disingenuous when he did these things.

Salute your heroes, Mr. McCain.

From Vice, Via Daily Caller:

If there were questions about al-Qaida’s role in post-Gadhafi Libya, VICE reporter Sherif Elhelwa provides some answers in a new story with eyewitness descriptions.

Al-Qaida flags, Elhelwa reports, are popping up around Benghazi. At the city courthouse, which played a prominent role in the Libyan revolution, residents are flying the late terrorist’s Osama bin Laden’s colors.

Similarly, Elhelwa recounts a regular evening sight: “Islamists driving brand-new SUVs and waving the black al Qaeda flag drive the city’s streets at night.”

If McCain didn't know this would happen, he's incompetent. If he did know it would happen, he's something worse. In either case, he is not fit to serve in the US Congress.

Again, this 'Arab Spring' is about the Muslim Brotherhood - of which al-Qaeda is a part - taking control of middle eastern countries and erasing their borders so that they may all role up under a resurrected Ottoman Empire in Turkey. Yes, US and NATO forces have been doing the bidding of Turkey's Islamist government while the latter just sits back and watches John McCain call al-Qaeda his 'heroes.'

Doesn't get any more disturbing than that, does it?

Video: Obama Doubles Down on his Support for Lawless OWS Protesters

If you use the sheer number of arrests as your standard, the Occupy Wall Street bunch is far more lawless than the Tea Party has ever come close to being. OWS started just this month and the number of arrests are rapidly approaching 3,000. The Tea Party came into being in April of 2009. The Obama administration - to include Barack himself - has demonized the Tea Party at every turn. Conversely, Obama has expressed support for the OWS miscreants. As the incidents of criminal behavior at these protests continues to rise, the president appears to be going all in when it comes to his continued support for the group. We already know he doesn't like cops much (think Henry Louis Gates) so why wouldn't he support lawless thuggery attempted to make police look bad. Still, it is amazing to watch him blatantly side with this bunch.

Check out his weekly address posted on October 29th. He uses the language of the protesters and really does little more than throw gas on the fire with this rhetoric.

Via Daily Caller:

President Barack Obama and Occupy Wall Street are speaking the same language.

In his weekly address to the nation, Obama cited an economic report showing that the middle class has lost ground to “the top one percent.”

“The average income for the top one percent of Americans has risen almost seven times faster than the income of the average middle class family,” he said. “And this has happened during a period where the cost of everything from health care to college has skyrocketed.”

Here's the video if you can stomach it:

Occupy Denver: White Protester Hogtied by Black Cop; Racism?

Occupy Denver appears to be the latest flashpoint for the occupy miscreants to act up. Amazingly, much of the video being recorded and posted comes courtesy of other protesters. In their lame attempts to garner sympathy by demonstrating excessive force on the part of police, they actually end up helping to make the case for law enforcement. Case in point: in this first video, a protester who apparently thinks it's cool to expose his own butt crack, attempts to push a black police officer off of the latter's motorcycle (1:23 mark). The cop then chases the guy, takes him down, and cuffs him. Whoever thought this video would leave one supporting the protester has a skewed view of reality.

h/t Weasel Zippers:



There also seems to be something else lost on anyone either supporting or not challenging the Occupy movement. Specifically, the protesters' complete lack of respect for the law. If police go into an area to disperse a crowd or tell people to leave an area, law-abiding citizens will do that. These protesters are deliberately attempting to provoke police while creating a perception that they are being repressed by them. Nothing illustrates this reality better than the guy in this video at the :30 mark. Watch the man in the plaid shirt make several attempts to push his way in toward police. One officer - rightfully so - pushes the guy back several times. The man is obviously trying to come across as a victim and fails miserably.

Again, whoever posted this video hoping to paint cops as the aggressors and protesters as defenseless victims actually did just the opposite.
