CNN Scrapes Bottom

Posted on | February 14, 2013 | 23 Comments

John Hinderaker summarizes a panel on cop-killer Chris Dorner at The Third-Place Cable News Network Nobody Watches:

CNN’s panel is excited about Chris Dorner. They can understand why lots of people think he is a “superhero.” They think his deeds were “exciting,” like a “Denzel Washington movie,” and agree that Dorner shed valuable light on the critical issue of police brutality. Their panel is more or less a Chris Dorner fan club, with one lonely exception who thinks the most salient fact is that he was a murderer . . .

Meanwhile, according to The Third-Place Cable News Network Nobody Watches, it’s a potential “career ender” for Sen. Marco Rubio to take a sip of water during a televised speech.

Obama’s Amazing Bullshit Factory

Posted on | February 13, 2013 | 11 Comments

Barack Obama is to bullshit what Willy Wonka was to chocolate, and America has bought the golden ticket.

Bad policy cannot be advocated by honest rhetoric. Dishonesty is therefore a hallmark of bad government. In terms of honesty, the Obama administration’s rhetoric is somewhere in the range between Baghdad Bob and North Korea.  Kirsten Powers says Tuesday’s State of the Union address was as if “President Obama’s chief speechwriter has been replaced by a cliché-generator circa 1960.” 

When he wasn’t spouting clichés, Obama was employing euphemisms, including repeated use of “investment” to describe federal deficit spending. Given the track record of Obama’s “green jobs” projects, we might as well “invest” in Lotto scratch-off tickets.

Not content with clichés and euphemisms, Obama also employed The Big Lie — why bother with small lies? — to insist that despite the $5.8 trillion he’s added to the national debt already, none of his new spending would add a single dime to the deficit:

They Buried Jennifer Morbelli Today

Posted on | February 13, 2013 | 19 Comments

It’s Ash Wednesday, and a 29-year-old kindergarten teacher was laid to rest in Westchester County, N.Y. Her story is now gaining international attention, but the New York Times and the national TV networks can’t be bothered to report the death of a woman who died after a late-term abortion by Dr. LeRoy Carhart. So the story got covered by Viral Read:

A 10 AM service was held this morning at New York’s Holy Name of Jesus Church for 29 year-old Kindergarten teacher Jennifer McKenna Morbelli. ViralRead was on the scene.
Morbelli died Thursday at Shady Grove Hospital in suburban Montgomery County, Md., after undergoing a late-term abortion performed by Dr. LeRoy Carhart at the Germantown Reproductive Health clinic. Pro-life organizations including Operation Rescue have reported that Morbelli arrived at the clinic late Sunday, Feb. 3, and returned to the clinic for the next three days, including a nine-hour visit on Wednesday, Feb. 6. Morbelli was reportedly rushed to the hospital early Thursday morning and died hours later after suffering “massive internal bleeding,” Operation Rescue reported.
In a humble eulogy, Morbelli’s sister Kristin remembered how wonderful her sister was; how she always was ‘sticking up for her’ in ways no one else would. ViralRead’s New York City based correspondent reported that in the view of her family, Morbelli had accomplished more in 29 years than most do in a lifetime. In her mother’s stead, Kristin read a letter from her mother and father to Morbelli, a feat incomprehensible to anyone who has never laid a loved one to rest. Roughly 150 mourners were present for the services.
The priest who presided over the services delivered a consoling homily in which he remembered his favorite childhood nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty. He stated that much like Humpty Dumpty, God will put both Jennifer and her unborn child, Madison Leigh, back together again. . . .

Read the whole thing.

Why Does @BridgetteDunlap Want to Suppress the Truth About Abortion?

Posted on | February 13, 2013 | 92 Comments

Monday night, after praising Jill Stanek’s reporting of this story, I found myself criticized on Twitter by Bridgette Dunlap, a law student who has a fellowship at Fordham University’s Leitner Center for International Law and Justice:

OK, fine, Bridgette: Let’s have a long, ugly quarrel on Twitter where you lecture me about privacy rights and I’m forced to advocate the public’s “right to know” argument by which the New York Times justifies leaking classified national-security information.

Accuse me of disrespecting the Morbelli family’s grief, denounce me for seeking to exploit this woman’s death for the sake of politics and I will repeat what I’ve said before: I don’t care, just stop ignoring this story.

This story isn’t about me or you or Jill Stanek. This story is about an abortionist who left a woman to bleed to death. If you want to target Jill Stanek for a lawsuit, please go right ahead, Bridgette, and I’ll cover the lawsuit, because that will call attention to the shameful enormity of the bloody career of this disgraceful butcher, LeRoy Carhart.

Double-dog dare ya.

No, Bridgette, you wouldn’t dare pursue such a lawsuit, because you know as well as I do that the more Americans learn about what “late-term abortion” really means, the more they’ll be horrified to know that the United States is one of only four countries in the world — along with China, North Korea and Canada — where abortions are legal in the 33rd week of pregnancy.

This is a gruesome stain on our national conscience, and it ought to be against the law. Because you know that the truth about late-term abortion would disgust decent people, Bridgette, you’re attempting to intimidate journalists into believing (wrongly) that naming Jennifer McKenna Morbelli as the victim of Carhart’s butchery, or using a previously published photo of her is somehow unethical or illegal.

Hey, I got news for you sweetheart: I didn’t start doing this job last week, and you don’t scare me a bit.

Jennifer Morbelli’s death is now being investigated by state officials in Maryland; it is therefore a matter of public record and I defy you or anyone to argue that it is not legitimate news.

Meanwhile, your attempt to suppress the truth will only cause more people to report the truth: “Streisand Effect,” look it up.

Here’s Matt Vespa covering the story at PJ Media, and here’s Ken Klukowski reporting it at Breitbart.com. Just in case that’s not enough coverage for you, Bridgette, the U.K. Daily Mail is now on the story:

Anti-abortion activists have taken up the tragic case of a 29-year-old woman from upstate New York who died while terminating her advanced pregnancy, demanding the closing of the clinic where the procedure was performed.
On Monday, more than 150 pro-life activists gathered near the clinic in Germantown, Maryland, accusing the head of the medical center, Dr LeRoy Carhart, of being directly responsible for the death of Jennifer McKenna Morbelli last week.
‘We will not rest until this clinic is shut down and the license of LeRoy Carhart is revoked. God let it be so,’ the Rev. Patrick Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, said at the demonstration.

Welcome to the Information Age, Bridgette. And good luck with your career as a commissar in the Thought Police.

‘Charred Human Remains’

Posted on | February 13, 2013 | 48 Comments

Such is the description of what would seem to be the end for the deranged ex-cop Christopher Dorner:

At about 4:15 p.m., aerial video showed a structure on fire at the standoff location . . .
The man in the cabin never emerged Tuesday afternoon after authorities shot tear gas into the structure and ordered him to surrender . . .
Several walls of the cabin were knocked down with an armored vehicle, then authorities heard a single gunshot from inside, the source said.
The cabin was engulfed in flames shortly thereafter, but it’s not clear how the fire started.

Strange as it seems to say, one of the best comments I heard on this case was Chris Matthews on MSNBC last night. Matthews talked about how Dorner lost his job and felt himself the victim of injustice. Matthews mentioned his own years of working in government and talked about people who, somehow, got messed up in the bureaucracy and could never let it go. Much like Dorner with his 11,400-word “manifesto,” Matthews said, these aggrieved people would often carry around thick files of Xeroxed documentation of their cases, trying to get someone to pay attention to their complaints: “They can’t seem to move on with their lives.”

Indeed, I used to encounter people like this when I worked at newspapers. The “nut in the lobby” situation was common enough: Every so often, a kook would show up at the front desk with a file folder, telling the receptionist they needed to talk to a reporter who could investigate the terrible injustice that had been done against them. I’d sometimes volunteer to be the guy to go out and deal with the “nut in the lobby.” Mostly, they were people who had gotten divorced, or lost a custody battle, or been fired from their jobs, or sometimes a combination of such misfortunes.

Psychologically shattered by whatever sad fate had befallen them, these people typically had the idea that a crooked lawyer or corrupt judge was the source of their problems. What they wanted was to have this malfeasance “exposed” by the newspaper (an idea they’d gotten from movies and TV dramas about crusading investigative journalists), so that the wrong would be rectified.

It was my habit to look through the kook’s file folder — Xeroxed documents, notes scrawled on yellow legal paper, etc. — and say, “Listen, let me make some copies of these.” So I’d take their folder, go copy a few pages and staple them together, then return to the lobby and promise the kook that I’d look into this.

The main thing was to seem sympathetic, let them tell their story, reassure them and — finally — get them out of the lobby.

Nowadays, kooks publish their grievances on the Internet and, in Chris Dorner’s case, are actually able to get the attention of CNN anchors with nothing better to do.

Some people just can’t cope with failure. They lack resourcefulness and are psychologically fragile. Then their dreams of glory come crashing down and . . . “charred human remains.”

UPDATE: Crazed Ex-Cop Chris Dorner Believed Dead After Cabin Catches Fire

Posted on | February 12, 2013 | 22 Comments

UPDATE 9:30 p.m. ET: A single gunshot was reportedly heard from inside the cabin inside which fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner had barricaded himself. The cabin caught fire and burned out of control. Dorner is believed to be dead.

* * * PREVIOUSLY (5:04 p.m. ET) * * *

Doug Sanders of the San Bernardino Sun reports:

Law enforcement are reportedly exchanging gunfire with a suspect in the Big Bear Lake area this afternoon following reports that fugitive Christopher Dorner may have stolen a truck in the area.
San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies, U.S. Marshals Service deputies and FBI agents began rushing to the Big Bear Valley area after searching a cabin in the Arrowbear area.
Shortly before 1:30 p.m., police scanner traffic indicated that two officers had been shot in the gun battle. Media personnel in the area have reported hearing numerous shots fired in the area.
The law enforcement officers are part of the team searching for Christopher Jordan Dorner, an ex-LAPD officer who has been charged with the murder of Riverside police officer Michael Crain and is suspected of killing an Irvine couple.

UPDATE: The latest from CNN:

Two sheriff’s deputies have been wounded in a shootout with a suspect believed to be renegade ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Jordan Dorner, a high-ranking law official with knowledge of the investigation said Tuesday.
The source says the suspect, believed to be Dorner, shot the deputies as police responded to a report of a home invasion and a carjacking in the Big Bear area of southern California.
After police got a description of the vehicle, police set up a road block, and Dorner approached the officers, the source says. Dorner then opened fire, wounding the two sheriff’s deputies, according to the source.
The official said Dorner was pinned down.

UPDATE II: The Los Angeles Times reports:

Christopher Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear area Tuesday, a law enforcement source told The Times.
The shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole their car, the source said.
It was not immediately clear whether Dorner was in custody.
A second source said there was an active crime scene but did not have details.
Law enforcement officials were swarming the area.

More blog reaction at Memeorandum.

UPDATE III: Additional details from the L.A. Times blog: Dorner is now reportedly barricaded inside a cabin after a shootout with cops in which “hundreds of rounds” were fired.

UPDATE IV: More details on how Dorner’s gun battle with police transpired:

Fugitive Christopher Dorner suddenly resurfaced Tuesday afternoon, engaging in a vehicle-to-vehicle gun battle with a California Department of Fish and Wildlife officer before holing up in a Big Bear-area cabin as dozens of officers homed in. . . .
Dorner was allegedly spotted by a state Fish and Wildlife offices in a white pickup truck. Dorner fired, and the officer returned fire. The officer was unharmed, but his truck was riddled with bullets.
Dorner crashed the truck and exchanged gunfire with the officers as he fled into a vacation cabin, where he was quickly surrounded by San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies, the source said.
The source said one deputy was wounded as Dorner fired out of the cabin and a second was injured when Dorner exited the back of the cabin, deployed a smoke grenade and opened fire again in an apparent attempt to flee. Dorner was driven back inside the cabin, the source said.

One deputy was reportedly killed and another wounded in the shootout.

UPDATE V: Did I ever mention I hate long standoffs?

You got your 15 minutes of fame already. We’re getting bored now.

UPDATE VI: USA Today confirms the deputy’s death:

One sheriff’s deputy died and another was wounded Tuesday afternoon during dramatic gunfight with the man authorities believe to be Christopher Dorner, the fugitive former Los Angeles cop wanted in three murders and a revenge shooting rampage across Southern California.
The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department confirmed earlier reports that a deputy was killed after authorities surrounded a cabin in the Big Bear ski resort area.The deputy, who has not been identified, died of his wounds at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Redlands.
It was unknown whether Dorner, a Navy veteran who was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department, had been hit by gunfire.

There is now smoke pouring out of the cabin where Dorner is holed up. It is not known whether Dorner has been killed.
