Spike Lee re-tweets Incorrect address for Zimmerman; elderly couple fearful for their lives

When Spike Lee tweeted what he thought was George Zimmerman's address, he essentially called for a lynching. Making that egregious act much worse is the fact that it wasn't Zimmerman's address; it was an address to the home of an elderly couple that is now terrified.

Via Fox News:

An elderly Florida couple have been forced to move into a hotel after their home address was wrongly tweeted as belonging to the man who shot teen Trayvon Martin.

The tweets were traced back to a man in California and the address was also reportedly retweeted by director Spike Lee to his almost 250,000 followers.

The couple, aged 70 and 72, have been harassed with hate mail, been hassled by media and had scared neighbors questioning them since the tweet, their son Chip Humble told the Orlando Sentinel.

Fearful for their safety, and hoping to escape the spotlight, the couple have temporarily moved to a hotel.

The confusion seems to stem from the fact the woman's son is named William George Zimmerman and he lived briefly at the address in 1995.

Perhaps even more disturbing is that even when it became known that the home targeted by the rabid mob, at least one member of that mob didn't care:

When William Zimmerman pleaded with the man who tweeted the address, the man responded, "Black power all day. No justice, no peace" along with an obscenity.

A better example of bloodlust one cannot find.

How are these Four Men Connected?

Ok, clockwise from top left: President Barack Obama, Hollywood celebrity and Obama shill George Clooney, Invisible Children filmmaker and producer of Kony 2012 Jason Russell at lunchtime on a San Diego street corner, and Northern Sudan President / Muslim Brotherhood backed Omar al-Bashir. How on earth are these four men connected, you ask? Look at the photos and I explain at bottom.

Let's start with the naked guy, Jason Russell. He is the producer of the wildly viral Kony 2012 video. The stated intent of the film was to make Joseph Kony famous. Kony, a sick and evil warlord who is much less effective today than he was five years ago, is responsible for tens of thousands of murders in Uganda; his soldiers would raid villages, make the children kill their parents and then turn those children into soldiers for his sick, sick army. On its face, the video was produced for a good cause - to garner international support against Kony so he could be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

The Obama administration endorsed the film, as did Hollywood celebrities like Oprah and P. Diddy. Russell stood to be a major player on the international stage but in the film, he is heard saying that Kony "is supported by no one." This is absolutely and demonstrably false. For years, Kony has been supported by the man pictured to Russell's left - Omar al-Bashir.

On Thursday, March 15th, Russell took to the streets without clothes and behaved in a most bizarre fashion; he allegedly "touched himself," vandalized cars (where did he hide the spray paint?), and repeatedly smacked the sidewalk with his hands while apparently doing a monkey impression.

Interestingly and coincidentally, on the same day (possibly at the exact same time) Russell was pounding sidewalk, Clooney was meeting with Barack Obama at the White House. The two men allegedly discussed Clooney's concerns about what was going on in the Sudan. Did Russell feel crowded out? If he knew that Clooney was drawing attention to Bashir (the real power behind Kony), did he conclude that Kony was being rendered irrelevant? Did it cause him to go stark raving mad on the streets of San Diego in broad daylight? For the record, the reason given for Russell's naked outburst was that he was exhausted and dehydrated but not on any medication. If we accept that premise, can you think of a better reason for someone to do what Russell is pictured doing above?

One day later (after Russell pounded pavement and Clooney met with Obama), the Hollywood celebrity - along with several far left Democratic congressmen and Ben Jealous, the head of the NAACP - stormed the Sudanese embassy in Washington, D.C. to protest Bashir (pictured at bottom left). The photo of Clooney above was taken shortly after his arrest for the incident. Though he denied discussing the incident with Obama beforehand, the timing of all of this is mighty coincidental.

Bashir is the Muslim Brotherhood's guy in the Sudan so why would Obama be supporting Clooney's efforts to protest a Muslim Brotherhood guy? The Obama administration has been Muslim Brotherhood-friendly in practically every respect since the president spoke in Cairo back in 2009.

The answer may be found in the name Hasan al-Turabi. He is much more radical than Bashir (if that's possible). He is also more of a Muslim Brotherhood loyalist than is Bashir, who is more of a tea leaf-reading political animal; he formed a very serviceable alliance of understanding with Egypt's Mubarak while jailing Turabi. Mubarak isn't in power anymore and the Brotherhood very well may prefer Turabi to Bashir.

If Obama really wanted to please the Muslim Brotherhood, he might be interested in seeing Bashir replaced by Turabi; that would make Russell and Clooney both useful idiots.

There you have it.

Former CAIR Executive Director Heading Occupy Miami

This anti-Semitic sentiment within the Occupy Wall Street movement is becoming rather systemic. One of the founders and spokesmen for Occupy Miami was not only an Executive Director for the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) in South Florida but he's led anti-Israel protests that called for bombing Israel with nukes and sending Jews back to ovens. Yet, Barack Obama has recently endorsed the Occupy movement while Mohammad Malik apparently faces no repurcussions.

Via WND:

The recent executive director of the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations' South Florida chapter is a founder and spokesman of Occupy Miami, WND has learned. 

Mohammad Malik currently is as an activist with several other Islamic groups. 

He has led hate-filled anti-Israel protests in which participants were filmed wearing Hamas paraphernalia while chanting "Nuke Israel" and "Go back to the oven" – a reference to Jews being killed in the Holocaust. 

Malik has been widely quoted in the Florida news media in recent weeks speaking for Occupy Miami. 

The Miami Herald identified Malik as one of the organizers of Occupy's Miami's downtown campsite headquarters.

According to the current Executive Director of CAIR South Florida, Nezar Hamze, Malik was given an honorable discharge from the group:

Malik departed CAIR several months ago. He previously worked for ACLU Florida, coordinating its Racial Justice and Voting Rights Projects. 

He did not return email and phone requests for comment. 

Nezar Hamze, the current director of CAIR-South Florida, told WND yesterday that Malik departed his Islamic group under friendly terms. 

"He left several months ago, maybe almost a year ago," said Hamze. "He got a better position, I think, at the ACLU," he said.

Once again, in light of these realities, I think it's important to underscore the fact that Gabrielle Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly, has decided to go after Sarah Palin for her 'target' chart while these vehement anti-Semites and other miscreants within the OWS crowd get the endorsement of the President of the United States.

There is MUCH more on Mohammad Malik and OWS Miami.

Videos: Jury Denies Florida Pastor First Amendment Rights

Regardless of one's feelings about Florida pastor Terry Jones, this is an extremely dangerous precedent. On April 22nd, Jones was in Dearborn, MI to protest outside a Mosque there. A trial was quickly called - amazing how speedy trials are possible when certain people want them - to determine if he should be allowed to hold the protest. The jury ruled that he could not. Why? Because it might cause locals to riot. Denying one's free speech rights based on what others might do is targeting the wrong individual - and it's very dangerous.

A theme the jury seemed to focus on was that the location Terry Jones chose for his protest was not acceptable. That argument immediately conjures up images of the Ground Zero mosque protests. That was all about location too. Except, those who protested were labeled by the Muslim community as 'intolerant.' There was also no court order that said the Mosque couldn't be built there. In fact, the city cleared the way for its construction. When a small pastor wants to protest outside a Mosque in Michigan, he's the intolerant one? The lack of consistency here is palpable.

If there is any good to come out of this, it should be that some of those involved in paving the way for this ridiculous ruling could conceivably wake up and realize how utterly absurd the ruling is. What happened in Dearborn, MI last week was a victory for the Islamists. Period. It was a victory for creeping Shariah law and proof that Sharia law cannot coexist with the United States Constitution.

Verum Serum has two videos that tell the story. The first is a news report from the local Fox affiliate. The second is an interview with one of the dhimmi jurors.



It's amazing what people will say and believe in order to rationalize cowardice.

Video: Wisconsin Capitol Police Taking Sides and Taking it Personal

This is a very telling video on a couple of fronts. First, central issue involves a War Memorial inside the Capitol. Leftists who have decided to camp out inside the Capitol have decided to use the Memorial as a storage area for their belongings, sleeping bags, etc. The person with the camera has requested police to show up. When they do, the lead officer asks what's going on; when the woman with the camera asks for assistance in clearing away the belongings from the Memorial, he appears confused as to what to do - possibly because many of his fellow officers (possibly him) have taken the side of the protesters.

Note that as soon as the officer realizes he has a bit of a problem with defending the desecration of a War Memorial, he demands not to be recorded. When the woman seeks out other officers, it's the same thing.

I hate to say it but Gov. Walker needs to go Ronald Reagan on these derelict cops and start firing or he's going to have to bring in the Wisconsin National Guard soon.

Video: Unhinged Union Member Explains His Side

This video featuring an upstanding union member at anti-Scott Walker rally in Annapolis, MD is quintessential union logic. In a nutshell, without unions, the United States would be like a third world country. 'If it wasn't for unions, we would be poor right now!' 'The whole country was based on unions!' He then goes on to say how uneducated the Tea Party is. While we're talking about education, somebody needs to explain to this guy where money comes from.

Wouldn't ya love to sit down and have a beer with this guy?

Added bonus. Here is a union protest in Atlanta. Is it me or is this speaker channeling James Brown?

Video: Union Official Busted Using Taxpayer Money to fund Political Rally

Purely awesome. This is video shot by blogger Adam Sharp outside the office of Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill (D) where a political rally was taking place to show support for the protesting union employees in Wisconsin and other states. Sharp confronts Steve Hollis - the Union official who organized this rally - with an email that clearly demonstrates questionable and perhaps illegal acts on the part of Hollis. Once again, bloggers are doing the job the mainstream media has long refused to do.

You know it's real journalism when the person being asked the questions wants to get out of Dodge as quickly as possible.

Video: Doctors Writing Fake Sick Notes at Wisconsin Protests

Think about it. All week, public sector union workers have not been going to work in order to protest at the state capitol. They called in sick to do it. Then, on Saturday, when the people who actually pay their salaries - private sector workers - finally have a day off, they show up to counter-protest and find fraudulent doctors voluntarily signing fake sick notes for anyone who needs them. If sick, these workers get paid. If it's an unexcused absence, no pay.

Doctors should lose licenses and these workers should not be paid. Line of the video has got to be the rationalization of those getting the notes. Yes, their sick. They're sick of Governor Scott Walker.

PHOTOS: TURNOUT AT THE 'ONE NATION' RALLY

This is getting to be comical. In so many ways, this 'One Nation' rally was the perfect metaphor. If the turnout at this rally compared to the turnout at the 'Restore Honor' rally is a foreshadowing of voter turnout on November 2nd, many of the Tea Party candidates that are currently in tight races - or even behind - have reason to be hopeful. Sharron Angle and Christine O'Donnell would certainly benefit.

Another metaphor is found in the blatant lie that was told by Joe Madison about the crowd size at 'One Nation' compared to the numbers at 'Restore Honor.' Well, perhaps "blatant" is the wrong word. "Deceptively blatant" might be better. Watch as Madison says a satellite image shows there were more people at the 'One Nation' rally than were there on 'August 29th.' Technically, he didn't lie because Beck's rally was on August 28th but you get the point.

Via MediaIte:



Perhaps this is why Madison felt compelled to add that little twist. Check out these pictures, one from August 28th and the other from October 2nd. While it's not known what time of day each photos was taken, check out the reflections of the trees in the water. It appears the sun was about in the same location based on those reflections. Madison may have even been wrong about the 29th. There may have been more people the day after the August 28th rally than were there ON the October 2nd rally.

The first photo is from October 2nd and the next one from August 28th.

THE LEFT'S 'ONE NATION' PROTEST IN RESPONSE TO THE 'RESTORE HONOR' RALLY

On October 2nd, the socialists of America held a protest in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. - an obvious attempt to match or exceed the turnout of the 'Restore America' rally on August 28th. How'd they do? Uh, not so good. In fact, even POLITICO and the AP couldn't bring themselves to omit the very obvious reality that the 'One Nation' rally came up far short of expectations or matching Glenn Beck's rally in August.

Via Politico:

Organizers said they were expecting more than 100,000 to attend the rally. Thousands of people packed the area around the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, but based on an unscientific estimate there were significantly fewer people than when Fox News’ Glenn Beck hosted the conservative “Restoring Honor” rally there Aug. 28. At that rally, attendees were forced to stand shoulder to shoulder the entire length of the Reflecting Pool.

Another very important distinction is that the August 28th rally consisted of people who were not provided transportation from Unions / taxpayer dollars to get there, unlike the socialist rally.

Don't believe me? Check out this video compilation of the 'One Nation' rally.

VIDEO: ACORN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BERTHA LEWIS ARRESTED

Talk about a perversion. Communists, Socialists, and Marxists assembling on a busy street in New York City to protest in support of illegal aliens who break the law. Bertha Lewis, Executive Director of the Association of Community Organisms for Reform Now is arrested and led away in handcuffs while her fellow Socialists actually have the gall to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

Here's a photo of Bertha emphasizing one of her pointless points some time ago. See if you can spot her in the video. Word of Caution: Unless you have an interest in listening to people who can't sing belt out, "We Shall Overcome" over and over and over again, fast forward to the 7:30 mark.

That's when the Socialists decide to change their tune to America's national anthem. Aside from utterly butchering it, apparently lost on all of them is the fact that it represents everything they're protesting against - an America free from tyranny and the rule of law.

This truly is Twilight Zone stuff. Keep watching to see Bertha led away in handcuffs.

h/t to Verum Serum for posting the videos.



As Verum Serum points out, it wasn't all that long ago that Bertha spoke to the Young Democratic Socialists - a group with strong ties to Communists and Marxists. Look no further than THIS page of the the YDS website. It starts out with, "Dear Comrade".

Here is Bertha speaking to YDS in March.

MEET ANDY STERN'S REPLACEMENT AT SEIU

If social justice is just another way of saying socialism, then a community organizer is just another term for socialist. Following Andy Stern's resignation as head of the Service Employees International Union, the void has been filled by a woman named Mary Kay Henry, who was profiled - can I say that? - in a New York Times article.

According to the Times, Henry's colleagues tout her as an "organizer" who isn't polarizing. I just love this quote from Dennis Rivera, the head of SEIU's health care division - which is likely another oxymoron all by itself:

“I’ve never seen her be polarizing,” said Dennis Rivera, who heads the service employees’ health care division. “She brings people together.”

Uh, if Rivera is right, why on earth would a Community Organizing outfit like SEIU make some woman president who doesn't polarize people? That violates the basic tenets of the founder of Community Organizing, Saul Alinsky who insisted on polarizing people to get what you want.

My personal favorite in the Times article is when it says this of Henry:

She is a straight talker with a strong, comforting voice who speaks freely about how her Roman Catholic upbringing nourished her interest in social justice, about being a lesbian and about her hopes to use her new position to battle for workers’ rights, immigrants’ rights and gay rights.

The only evidence that excerpt provides is evidence the Catholic church is falling down on the job. The Catholic church has no business teaching social justice and if one of its members says it learned social justice from the Catholic church, that simply means the latter has a severe communication problem.

I would love to know Henry's feelings on SEIU-affiliated group National Peoples' Action and its members' attempt to further bully banks on May 17th. The event, billed as Showdown on K Street is likely to be somewhat polarizing. Since Mary Kay Henry is not polarizing and is better known for bringing people together, perhaps she can use her influence as the top dawg at SEIU to bring the members of National People's Action (NPA) and bankers together.

VIDEO: SHOW TIME'S JOE KLEIN WHAT SEDITION LOOKS LIKE

While appearing on a panel moderated by Chris Matthews recently, Joe Klein of TIME magazine said - courtesy of notes he wrote on a napkin - that Glenn Beck is inching very close to sedition with his words. If you have Klein's email, please send him the video below and ask him what he thinks of it. This man's words seem quite incendiary and he's calling for revolution against the United States, something Beck has never done as far as I know.

Here is video of Ron Gochez, a History teacher at Sanchee High School in Los Angeles. Could it be that Klein is not interested in calling this what it is because Gochez is advocating a socialist revolution?

MICHELE BACHMANN LEADS PROTEST AT CAPITOL

On Thursday, November 5th Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) will be leading a tea party protest on the capitol steps in Washington, D.C. After she's done, attendees will be led through the halls of congress so they can deliver personally a message they tried to deliver at town hall meetings in August but have apparently not been sufficiently received.

The POLITICO reported:

The idea took flight last week, when Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) told Fox’s Sean Hannity that she hoped all of his viewers would join her for a press conference outside the Capitol on Thursday and then walk with her “through Cannon, Longworth, Rayburn,” where they would go “up and down through the halls, find members of Congress, look at the whites of their eyes and say, ‘Don’t take away my health care.’”

If these politicians felt uncomfortable in their home districts in front of the people who have entrusted them to be their representatives, they may want to make sure there is an adequate supply of Depends on-hand in their D.C. offices.
