Mainstream Media Embarrasses America By Destroying San Bernardino Shooting Crime Scene

The corporate media hit a new and disgusting low today by destroying a crime scene in the San Bernardino shooting all in the hopes of capturing one sensational scoop.
MSNBC, CNN, the BBC, ITV and CBS News all aired reports live from inside the apartment where the shooters lived after they claimed that the owner of the property invited the media in and gave them access to a crime scene.
CNN crime analyst Harry Houck explained how the media destroyed a crime scene.
Houck said:
I’m having chills down my spine what I’m seeing here. This apartment clearly is full of evidence. I don’t see any fingerprint dust on the walls where they went in there and checked for fingerprints of other people who might have been connected with these two. You’ve got documents laying all over the place. You’ve got shredded documents that need to be taken out of there and put together to see what was shredded. You’ve got passports. You’ve got drivers licenses. Now you have thousands of fingerprints all over inside this crime scene. There should have been some crime scene tape up there. Usually in an instance like this, crime scene goes in, does the work, and comes out. You still keep that scene locked up, and with a sign on board saying you can’t come in until the police release it. The fact is maybe they did not do that here.

Now we have it looks like dozens of people in these destroying crime scene, which is still vital to this investigation. 
If the police are watching this right now they better be on their way down there to stop this from happening. This is. I am shaking over it. That’s how irresponsible this is by law enforcement for letting this happen.

Some journalists like CNN’s Anderson Cooper and MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell commented on how strange and bizarre the scene of journalists acting like a pack of wild animals while trashing a crime scene was, but it was also completely irresponsible behavior from an American mainstream media that values sensationalism over all else.
The media destroyed evidence of a potential act of terror, and here is what they found:

A screwdriver (the Tweet says popsicle, but it is really a screwdriver)

baby toys

MSNBC got into the apartment first and was deemed the most reckless by showing close-ups of family photos and IDs:
MSNBC outed the identities and personal information of possibly innocent people on national television.
The whole scene was appalling and represented the very worst in mainstream journalism.
The media claimed that the owner of the apartment allowed them to come in, but the landlord claims that he opened the door, and the media rushed in behind him.
CNN claimed that law enforcement showed up and escorted the landlord away.
In a mainstream press that has become nothing but an endless series of lowlights, the fiasco is the lowest of the low.

A Fed Up Obama Calls Republicans Insane For Supporting Selling Guns To Terrorists

President Obama isn’t pulling any punches. The President showed how fed up he is by calling the Republican opposition to making it more difficult for terrorists and criminals to buy high-powered weapons insane.
The President said:
This weekend, our hearts are with the people of San Bernardino—another American community shattered by unspeakable violence. We salute the first responders—the police, the SWAT teams, the EMTs—who responded so quickly, with such courage, and saved lives. We pray for the injured as they fight to recover from their wounds.
Most of all, we stand with 14 families whose hearts are broken. We’re learning more about their loved ones—the men and women, the beautiful lives, that were lost. They were doing what so many of us do this time of year—enjoying the holidays. Celebrating with each other. Rejoicing in the bonds of friendship and community that bind us together, as Americans. Their deaths are an absolute tragedy, not just for San Bernardino, but for our country.

We’re also learning more about the killers. And we’re working to get a full picture of their motives—why they committed these revolting acts. It’s important to let the investigators do their job. We need to know all the facts. And at my direction, federal law enforcement is helping in every way that they can. We’re going to get to the bottom of this.
It is entirely possible that these two attackers were radicalized to commit this act of terror. And if so, it would underscore a threat we’ve been focused on for years—the danger of people succumbing to violent extremist ideologies. We know that ISIL and other terrorist groups are actively encouraging people—around the world and in our country—to commit terrible acts of violence, often times as lone wolf actors. And even as we work to prevent attacks, all of us—government, law enforcement, communities, faith leaders—need to work together to prevent people from falling victim to these hateful ideologies.
More broadly, this tragedy reminds us of our obligation to do everything in our power, together, to keep our communities safe. We know that the killers in San Bernardino used military-style assault weapons—weapons of war—to kill as many people as they could. It’s another tragic reminder that here in America it’s way too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on a gun.
For example, right now, people on the No-Fly list can walk into a store and buy a gun. That is insane. If you’re too dangerous to board a plane, you’re too dangerous, by definition, to buy a gun. And so I’m calling on Congress to close this loophole, now. We may not be able to prevent every tragedy, but—at a bare minimum—we shouldn’t be making it so easy for potential terrorists or criminals to get their hands on a gun that they could use against Americans.
Today in San Bernardino, investigators are searching for answers. Across our country, our law enforcement professionals are tireless. They’re working around the clock—as always—to protect our communities. As President, my highest priority is the security and safety of the American people. This is work that should unite us all—as Americans—so that we’re doing everything in our power to defend our country. That’s how we can honor the lives we lost in San Bernardino. That’s how we can send a message to all those who would try to hurt us. We are Americans. We will uphold our values—a free and open society. We are strong. And we are resilient. And we will not be terrorized.
Republicans have abandoned all common sense. Opposition to any limitation on gun ownership for anyone has moved from a policy position to a firm conviction of belief.
President Obama has been dealing with Republican ideologues who inflexibly govern by belief for most of his presidency, but mass shootings are a matter of life and death. Republicans have demonstrated since the San Bernardino shootings that they are unwilling to take action for the good of the country even when innocent Americans are being massacred on a regular basis.
What was proposed wasn’t radical. The amendment would have closed a loophole that allowed suspected terrorists to buy guns legally in the United States, and Republicans said no.
One of the main reasons why the Republican cabal is poised to continue their presidential election losing streak is that that they have become slaves to their own ideology. Like the radical extremists that they claim to despise, Republicans view their way as the only way.
President Obama has had enough, and one gets the sense that the Republican refusal to use common sense is pushing him towards more executive actions.

Obama White House Rips Republicans For Voting To Legally Sell Guns To Terrorists

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest ripped Senate Republicans for blocking legislation that would make it illegal for terror suspects to buy guns.
The Hill reported:
White House press secretary Josh Earnest lashed out at Republicans who “stood up once again with the NRA [National Rifle Association] and in the face of common sense” to block measures to expand background checks and bar individuals on terrorist watch lists from purchasing firearms.
“Why on Earth do we think it’s a good idea for somebody that the government thinks is too dangerous to board a plane to be able to buy a gun?” Earnest asked. “But, once again Republicans blocked that legislation that would make that illegal. So we’ve got some work to do.”
The legislation that Republicans blocked is common sense. If a person is on the terror watch list, they should not be allowed to legally buy weapons.
However, Republicans claim that they are worried about “due process” for individuals who are on the terror watch list. The reality is that Republicans are opposed to every piece of legislation that would harm the industry because potential terrorist dollars are just as important to the gun lobby as cash from the gun collector or hunter who lives down the street.
Mass shootings will continue to happen in the United States because it is too easy for terrorists and killers to get military grade weapons. The San Bernardino shooters had high power guns, body armor, and armor piercing bullets.

Common sense should make it clear to every American that if we want to limit the death and destruction that a mass shooter is capable of causing in a few minutes, the answer is not to allow military grade weapons to be available so easily for anyone who wants to buy them.
Senate Republicans deserved to be ripped to shreds, because when they were given the choice between the terrorist enabling gun lobby or saving innocent American lives, they sided with enabling terrorists.

Democrats Hammer Republicans For Allowing 2,000 Terror Suspects To Legally Buy Guns

As House Republicans continue to protect terrorists' legal ability to purchase deadly weapons, the facts are staggering: according to the GAO, over the last 11 years, more than…

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office sent out a memo Friday afternoon that slammed Republicans for blocking a Republican bill to stop terrorists from buying guns legally in the U.S.. I wrote a few days ago that Democrats were outsmarting Republicans on this, and today’s memo is the proof.
The press release shows just how tragic this Congress of NRA stooges really is, because it’s not just a partisan issue and it’s not just that the public supports this and it’s not just that it’s only sane to check for known terrorists before selling a gun to someone, but it’s come to Republicans blocking a Republican bill on an issue supported by the public, terrorism experts, and even NRA members themselves (not to be confused with the NRA’s actual purpose, which is currently as a lobbying organization for gun manufacturers).
Here’s the memo. First, they note the three votes this week alone to block King’s (R-NY) bill that would close the loophole that lets known terrorists buy guns legally:

House Republicans voted three times this week to block debate on Republican Congressman Peter King’s Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act, which would close the outrageous loophole that allows suspects on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist to buy guns.
As House Republicans continue to protect terrorists’ legal ability to purchase deadly weapons, the facts are staggering: according to the GAO, over the last 11 years, more than 2,000 suspects on the FBI’s Terrorist Watchlist bought weapons in the United States. More than 90 percent of all suspected terrorists who tried to buy guns in America walked away with the weapon they wanted over the time period.

The Dem Leader’s office then cited none other than the shrub junta and various Republicans:

REPUBLICANS, COUNTER-TERRORISM & LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERTS, NRA MEMBERS SAY: STOP PROTECTING TERRORISTS’ ABILITY TO PURCHASE GUNS

The shrub junta:

“The [shrub] Justice Department proposed legislation…that would give the attorney general discretion to bar terrorism suspects from buying firearms, seeking to close a gap in federal gun laws.” [4/07]

Republican Former NJ Governor Tom Kean:

“Congress has also failed to close a gap in federal law that prevents the FBI from blocking a sale to an individual under investigation for terrorist activity…The Bush administration asked Congress to authorize the FBI to block gun sales to terrorist suspects, to no avail… If lawmakers fail to close gaps in the background check system…the next terrorist shooting on American soil will be shocking, but it will not be surprising.” [11/09]

Republican Congressman Peter King:

“[It is] more important than ever that we have the toughest laws in place to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists…any type of weapons they could use against Americans…This is clearly a terrorist loophole, where terrorists – even if a person’s name is on the terrorist watch list, they can go out and purchase a weapon. This should be a bipartisan issue. The Bush Administration supported my legislation, and now the Obama Administration is supporting it as well. This should clearly be a bipartisan issue. We should not allow people on the terrorist watch list to purchase a weapon.” [5/10]

They cited former FBI Director Robert Muller and Counter-Terrorism expert from the shrub junta Richard Clarke:

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller:

“FBI Director Robert Mueller suggested Tuesday that Congress consider barring terrorism suspects from legally buying guns after an audit found that 47 people on a terrorism watch list were approved for purchases last year… ‘We ought to look at what can be done to perhaps modify the law,’ Mueller told members of a House Appropriations subcommittee.” [3/05]

Richard Clarke, Counter-Terrorism Expert in the shrub junta

Imagining a hypothetical terrorist attack at the Mall of America: “It had not been hard for the terrorists to buy all their guns legally, in six different states across the Midwest.” [1/05]

They cited gun owners and NRA members (again, don’t confuse the actual people who belong to the NRA with the NRA’s real purpose of selling as many guns as they can, which suggests that having people terrified of terrorists is actually good business for the NRA):

Gun owners and NRA Members:

According to a 2012 poll, 71 percent of current or former NRA members and 80 percent of the other gun owners support preventing people on a terrorist watch list from purchasing guns. [7/12]

And gee, law enforcement is also on board:

Former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly:

“All of our collective efforts would benefit from the passage of this bill, which would exclude anyone who is on the terror watch list from being able to legally purchase a gun, obtain a permit to buy explosives, or a license to sell them,” [5/10]

International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP):

“The IACP has long advocated for laws that prevent individuals who pose a danger to society or themselves from purchasing firearms. As you know, under current law an individual wishing to purchase a firearm must undergo a background check, having their name run through the National Instant Background Check System. Certain individuals—such as those convicted of a felony or those listed on the FBI’s Violent Gang List—cannot legally purchase firearms. S.1237 would properly classify those who are on the terror watch list prohibited purchases.” [3/08]

What we have here is a failure to justify outrageous and deadly and disgusting behavior.
Republicans  have no excuse for being such cowardly stooges of the NRA that they will not even take action to prevent terrorists from purchasing guns legally, even in a year when we have had more mass shootings than days. How can logical people conclude anything other than this is the plan. The plan is to make money for the NRA by encouraging people’s worst fears by promoting domestic terrorist attacks with easy access to weapons.
Republicans in the Senate and the House have spent this week, days after the Planned Parenthood terrorist attack and the San Bernardino terrorist attack, refusing to even try to prevent terrorists from easy access to weapons.

Republicans Wrong Again As Majority See Attack on Planned Parenthood as Terrorism

Republicans are on the wrong side again, as 52% see the attack on Planned Parenthood as terrorism and half of Americans think that anti-abortion groups encourage violence.
These are not good numbers for a party that is hanging on by a cultural divide thread.
According to research from a YouGov/HuffPost poll published Friday, 52% of Americans polled view the attack in which Robert Dear killed three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs last week as an act of terrorism.
The news gets worse for Republicans, because although there is a partisan divide noted in the analysis of the poll, with two-thirds of Democrats saying it was terrorism and a full half of Republicans say that it was not a terrorist attack, Independents side with calling it a terrorist attack 50% to 32%.
If you don’t live under a rock, you’ve seen the conservative claims that killing people who are performing or supporting or getting an abortion is a legitimate form of protest. While those people are most likely outliers for the anti-abortion crowd, the violent, bloody rhetoric and lies perpetrated by elected officials about Planned Parenthood can’t be denied. It is mainstream and it has a big old “R” branded on its forehead.

Eight-nine percent of Americans polled, including those very opposed to abortion, see violence against abortion providers as unacceptable. So this idea that bombing and killing and targeting doctors and clinics is acceptable is not mainstream at all. In fact, 82% called it morally unacceptable.
That’s not a great position to be in when a party is clinging to alleged moral superiority as a lifeboat.
Republicans might have left things as they were, with public opinion shifting gradually toward various ways of limiting choice (even while supporting choice as an overall value) according to polls over the last decade. But instead they chose to try to double down and use anti-abortion beliefs as a get-out-the-vote tactic, not only encouraging but elevating crack pot conspiracy artists calling themselves journalists, as they violated laws and ethics in an attempt to smear abortion providers.
While these tactics worked for a while and they certainly aren’t helping the general perception of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, there’s another, more politically dangerous side to this story.
The poll showed that 49% of Americans believe that the actions of anti-abortion groups encourage violence. Only 27% say they don’t think this is so. The analysis pointed out that there is divide on this even among Republicans, “37% of Republicans believe that the actions of anti-abortion groups encourage violence while just under half (47%) say that their actions do not encourage violence.”
Following the Republican cabal’s televised false attacks on Planned Parenthood, which included deceptively edited videos and false graphs, a Planned Parenthood in Thousand Oaks, California burned in what authorities investigated as an arson attack. The same clinic had been attacked weeks earlier. This is but one example of the ongoing violence aimed at abortion providers and doctors.
Republicans have hung their hats on playing off of the resentments of the fading white male dominance. Abortion is just one piece of that puzzle, as it represents women’s freedom to choose their own destiny and have full agency over their bodies and full personhood rights. Abortion was the one area where Republicans were making headway, but once again, playing to extremists by pushing known lies and jacked up rhetoric meant to incite blind rage has backfired politically.
Innocent people have been murdered due in part to this inflammatory rhetoric and lies the U.S. Congress continues to elevate. These facts are proof that the alleged “pro-life” movement is not about protecting actual life.

Republicans Celebrate Xmas By Voting To Take Healthcare Away From 17 Million Americans

Senate Republicans got into the spirit of the season by voting 52-47 to take healthcare away from 17 million Americans.
The vote was party line with only moderate Republicans Collins (Maine) and Kirk (Illinois) voting against the bill. Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) missed the final vote, but Sanders made his feelings clear days earlier on the Senate floor when he called the whole process a waste of time.
Wingnuts like FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon were ecstatic that Senate Republicans moved to take healthcare away from nearly 20 million Americans, “Under pressure from Lee, Cruz, Rubio, and wingnut agitators across the country, Senate Republicans finally got the message and acted to repeal the ObamaCare disaster. This bill would rid Americans of the most harmful aspects of the law and empower consumers to make decisions that are best for them and their families.”
The White House was quick to issue a veto threat and make sure that this legislation is DOA, “The Administration strongly opposes Senate passage of the Senate amendment to H.R. 3762. By repealing numerous, key elements of current law, this legislation would take away critical benefits and health care coverage from hard-working middle‑class families. The bill also would remove policies that are expected to help slow the growth in health care costs and that have improved the quality of care patients receive. The Senate amendment to H.R. 3762 detracts from the work the Congress could be doing to foster job creation and economic growth.”
The Obamacare repeal vote was so important to Senate Republicans because they are laying the groundwork for action if their nominee wins the White House in 2016.

Of course, voting to take healthcare away from 17 million people just made winning the White House more difficult, but logic stopped being a strong suit of the Republican cabal more than a decade ago.
The fact that Senate Republicans chose to hold this vote during the holiday season spoke volumes about their priorities. Tonight’s vote was an advertisement for how Republicans intend to harm working people if they take back the White House.
The victory that wingnuts are celebrating tonight is one of the main reasons that they will lose in 2016.
