Will This Make A Difference?
Aug 20, 2014 Political
There is a report that the guy who was with Michael Brown, Dorian Johnson, has recanted his statement concerning what happened just before Brown was shot. Recall that Johnson said that Brown had his hands up and that Officer Wilson shot him in the back.
We know this was false because the autopsy shows that all shots entered from the front.
Where Johnson has changed his story is the part about Brown attacking Wilson. Now Johnson says that Brown did get into a physical confrontation with Officer Wilson AND that Brown tried to take his gun.
[note]Officer Wilson took a pretty severe beating.[/note]
This is from a radio station that indicates it heard from a connected source. I have not seen any confirmation of this so I can only say that it was reported but not verified.
My question is will it make a difference? Now that the race baiters have planted their seeds and now that the rioters have caused mayhem and now that Eric Holder is on his way to the scene will it make a difference? The people who are calling for the arrest (and worse yet, the execution) of Wilson will not believe any other story than the one that they first heard and first believed. They had to have a story that fit their narrative of racial targeting and oppression of the black man and that is what they will stick with.
If there are no charges filed against Wilson then Ferguson MO will erupt in such a fashion that the past week will look like a Girl Scout campfire.
It is also important to note that no matter what the evidence presented Eric Holder will file some kind of civil rights suit against Officer Wilson. Holder will disregard any evidence that would prevent him from targeting Wilson because Holder hates white people.
There are plenty of witnesses and evidence is mounting that supports the officer’s version of the event but this will not matter and all hell will break loose if Wilson is not charged, tried, found guilty and executed.
Nothing else will please the race baiters who have used this event to raise funds and register voters (and loot for free stuff).
The truth does not matter to the race industry. The agenda is what is important.
Perhaps people should have waited for the evidence before they went bat crap crazy…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Gracious Democrats Won’t Sanction Wilson
Sep 10, 2009 Political
Let me start off by saying that I agree with what Joe Wilson said but I think it was the wrong place to say it. When he blurted out “you lie” during Obama’s joint session speech he removed the focus from the health care debate and put it on him and gave credence to the notion that mean spirited Republicans want to derail health care and deny people in need.
Having said that I find it amusing that the House leadership considered some sort of disciplinary action against Wilson because he broke a rule about not being able to call presidents liars. What I find amusing is that they were pretty quick to consider it (they have decided not to pursue it) but drag their feet when any of their people are involved in problems that really do need to be investigated. Charlie Rangel did not pay his taxes and failed to report income for years and the investigation is dragging on while Rangel pays hush money to those investigating him. He will probably get away without sanction.
Joe Biden and several other Democrats were very upset at the Wilson outburst (as were some Republicans) and they let it be known that this kind of behavior is not acceptable. That is unless it is they who are behaving that way. During one of Bush’s State of the Union Addresses the Democrats booed and heckled him. I think it was Rahm Emanuel who said that no president was ever treated the way Obama was by Wilson. He evidently did not see the video of his party disrespecting Bush.
I don’t think that one should justify bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior and I certainly don’t think what Wilson did can be justified. I merely point out that Democrats are acting as if they have been the most civil people in the world and the only reason mean old Republicans are acting this way is because Obama is the guy in charge.
The behavior is not acceptable no matter who does it. Wilson would have served the cause better if he had held his tongue and then went on the talk shows to demonstrate why Obama is lying. Obama told several lies last night and that is certainly something to look at but there is a time and a place for everything.
I think things will get a lot uglier before this is all over.

Joe Wilson Was OK with Naming Wife
Oct 6, 2007 Uncategorized
Robert Novak writes that he discussed his article with Joe Wilson before it was published and Wilson did not object to his wife being mentioned. Joe’s concerns were egotistical in that he did not want the article’s focus to be that he was simply an opponent of the war and he wanted Novak to know his wife used his last name.
The whole time that the Plame game was going on Wilson acted like the world had come to an end because his wife had been outed. He pinned all this on the Vice President and he said it was a concerted effort to get him for his opposition to the war (but don’t focus on that). It seems to me that if this half baked jackass was so concerned about his wife’s status he would have told Novak his concerns so that the information would not have been printed. Since Wilson failed to say anything and since he allowed his wife’s identity to be published we can conclude that she was not covert (as we have said all along) and that Joe Wilson knew she was not covert. If we go on the assumption that she was covert then he [Wilson] is the one responsible for outing her and he should get to be frog marched to court.
As for Fitzgerald, he knew the identity of the leak when he spoke with Novak a few days into the investigation. The fact that he continued for months on end shows he was engaged in a witch hunt and that he wasted a bunch of taxpayer dollars. If Fitzgerald had ended when he found the “leak” (what he was empowered to do) we could have saved a fortune and a lot of people would not have been inconvenienced, especially Scooter Libby. Fitzgerald was helping someone on the left and he did not care who got hurt in the process. There are those who praised the guy but I think he was grossly incompetent.
There was something fishy about Mr. Plame and his wife right from the start. The nepotism and the incompetence coupled with the partisan view taken by the third rate diplomat caused a lot of problems. One can only hope they send him on another assignment real soon.
But with a one way ticket.
