Hannity manipulates Strasbourg speech to claim ‘Obama attacks America’
Obama’s ‘town-hall’ speech yesterday in Strasbourg before 2,000 French and German students had an immense impact in different ways all around the globe. The White House announced today that NATO is committing to 5,000 more troops in Afghanistan, following Obama’s call for a greater alliance role in that war. A full-scale riot in Strasbourg by anti-military and anti-globalization protesters has led to a violent reaction from thousands of armed riot police, and the situation remains unstable.
But unlike NATO and the anti-military rioters, Sean Hannity didn’t think that Obama’s real speech was spicy enough for his television news broadcast.
Last night, on Fox News’ Hannity, a truncated clip of President Obama’s Strasbourg speech was aired, making it appear that Obama was “blam[ing] America first.” The clip of Obama delivered to the audience by Hannity emphasized America’s failures in global policy in the last eight years. “In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America’s shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” Before airing the video clip, Sean Hannity announced, “And that is our headline this Friday night…Obama attacks America.”

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
