Video: CBS' Bob Schieffer Scolds Herman Cain on Live Television

Just when you think the liberal media has lowered the bar of bias as far as it possibly can, someone finds a new rock bottom. In this instance, Face the Nation's Bob Schieffer has seized the mantle. Last week, Herman Cain's campaign released an ad that struck most as truly bizarre; it featured his campaign manager, Mark Brock, who ended the ad with a drag from his cigarette. The reaction of most people was a bit of head-scratching. Then something happened. The ad pulled a million views in four days and Cain's campaign contributions went up as a direct result. To call the ad counter-intuitive would be an understatement.

The aforementioned reality appeared to truly bother Bob Schieffer, who questioned Cain about the ad. In a bit of childish, righteous indignation, Schieffer masked his contempt for the success of the ad behind some holier-than-thou disgust for Cain's camp featuring such an image. After all, he's running for president and such an ad should be beneath him.

Cain handled himself well but a knockout punch would have been - as NewsBuster commenter Don'tFeedtheTrolls said - our current president smokes. Using Schieffer's standard, Obama is doing something that is beneath the office while Cain isn't even a smoker.

This is disgraceful on the part of Schieffer. Via NewsBusters:

Video: Occupy Oakland Protester Admits Objects Hurled at Police

While being interviewed by Marxist MSNBC host, Lawrence O'Donnell, an Occupy Oakland protester singlehandedly blows the left wing narrative out of the water. That narrative is that police are brutalizing OWS protesters unnecessarily; the protesters are simply innocent victims of repression who are having their first amendment rights trampled. Lost on far too many people is that they are not law-abiding. When police tell law-abiding people to clear an area, law-abiding people do that. In this case, O'Donnell asks someone not entirely brushed up on all of the talking points, if protesters have been throwing objects at police. To the Obama administration's certain chagrin, she admits that they were.

Also, take note at the beginning of this clip, as MSNBC is running B-roll. Note the person in a wheelchair being pushed through the streets by a protester with a bandana over his face as the situation appears to be deteriorating. Why would a person in a wheelchair be smack dab in the middle of a violent situation? Uh, could it be so that any injury could be exploited like the one sustained by anti-war military veteran Scott Olsen?

Lawlessness is being championed. There's no other way to say it.

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?
