As we reported, former NYU fellow and liberal journalist Nir Rosen came under fire Wednesday after sending out inappropriate and offensive messages via Twitter about CBS correspondent Lara Logan’s horrific assault in Cairo last Friday.
On Wednesday evening, Rosen insisted that “no matter how I try to explain,“ he will come across as a ”jerk.” Nevertheless, Rosen claimed he did not know the severity of Logan’s assault when he sent out his tweets and there is “no defense” for what he did.
Cooper also pressed him about messages he sent referencing the assault on Cooper and his team while he was on the ground in Cairo, claiming Logan was trying to “outdo” him.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 10:08amThe saddest part is Rosen is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mentally challenged liberals that have taken over our institutions of higher learning. Rosen was the “only” Fellow at NYU that exposed his hatemongering bias. The Fellows at NYU are composed of many like this buffoon. If Rosen had not been so brazen, he would still be in his environment of hate, poisoning young minds and living happily ever after like all of his other “brothers”.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 1:55amObviously you do not watch Glenn Beck or know what he is all about. He never claims to be a journalist. He is however an educator and is encouraging everyone to read, learn, explore, understand what is happening in the world around us…. and then through critical thinking (something that is not taught anymore in schools, so maybe that is an area you missed out on in your education) decide for ourselves and come to our own conclusions.
And yes, Carl, at 4:12 in the video he makes an attack against America by somehow in his own mind trying to make a connection between Egyptian security forces being trained by Americans and civilians…as if because they were trained by Americans, then Americans would be responsible for the actions of the Egyptians. This man does not belong in this country. Let him stay in the middle east.
Years ago, there was a story that was told. The name of the book is “A man without a Country”. From wikipedia:
Nolan bitterly renounces his nation, angrily shouting “Damn the United States! I wish I may never hear of the United States again!” Upon conviction, the judge icily grants Nolan his wish: he is to spend the rest of his life on warships of the United States Navy, in exile, with no right ever again to set foot on U.S. soil, and with explicit orders that no one shall ever mention his country to him again.
The sentence is carried out to the letter. For the rest of his life, Nolan is transported from ship to ship, living out his life as a prisoner on the high seas, never once being allowed back in a home port. None of the sailors in whose custody Nolan remains are allowed to speak to him about the U.S., and his newspapers are censored. Nolan is unrepentant at first, but over the years becomes sadder and wiser, and desperate for news. One day, as he is being transferred to another ship, he beseeches a young sailor never to make the same mistake he made: “Remember, boy, that behind all these men… behind officers and government, and people even, there is the Country Herself, your Country, and that you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother…!”
Deprived of a homeland, Nolan slowly and painfully learns the true worth of his country. He misses it more than his friends or family, more than art or music or love or nature. Without it, he is nothing. Dying, he shows his room to an officer named Danforth; it is “a little shrine” of patriotism. The Stars and Stripes are draped around a picture of George Washington. Over his bed, Nolan has painted an eagle, with lightning “blazing from his beak” and claws grasping the globe. At the foot of his bed is a dated map of the old territories. Nolan smiles, “Here, you see, I have a country!” Nolan dies content after Danforth finally tells him all that has happened to the U.S. since his sentence was imposed. Nolan asks him to have them bury him in the sea and have a gravestone placed in memory of him, at Fort Adams or at Orleans.

I consider the Glenn Beck program more as a classroom than a newsroom. That’s what the liberals hate about it. We learn not only what’s happening in the world but why and how, too. We also find out who is lying, who is double-dealing, and who’s out to get what from whom.

Amen to that! I have a 30 yr old son that thinks parents should support their kids until their deaths. Not mine… theirs! Needless to say we wasted a LOT of money on sending him to the best schools he could get in. We tried hard but for some reason these college profs have more sway over our kids than we do. That entire incident taught me a valuable lesson. We are in the process of helping one of our grandkids in going to college. She has told us what she wants to study, and WE are picking the schools. If she wants to go somewhere else, she pays for it herself. I refuse to pay for one of my own to be indoctrinated (again) by some progressive dirt-bag!

Sadly, more and more our young people are becoming hardened to helping one another. There have been numerous stories about group attacks on women, the one that comes to mind and is probably the best known was an incident years ago called the “Central Park Wilding”, where a group of young punks attacked and raped a young female investment banker who was jogging in Central Park. They came very close to killing her and the injuries she sustained were life-changing.
Sadly, the Muslim culture is much more prone to violence (not my opinion, check the newspapers) and the multicultural proponents are okay with this while they are mentally singing John Lennon’s song “Give Peace a Chance”. You can’t have it both ways.
