VIDEO: The Unoriginality of the Hollywood Left

By Debbie Schlussel

In my “Avatar” review, yesterday, I noted that the movie is a repeat of a gazillion movies you’ve already seen.  I also noted, citing my dad, that as a society’s level of capitalism and freedom declines, so does it’s level of creativity.

This clever video, sent to me by fellow Detroit movie critic, Jeff Meyers of the Metro Times, shows that in spades.  Liberal Hollywood has zero ideas.  This goes beyond the endless stream of annoyingly bad remakes and moronic sequels.

Imitation isn’t the sincerest form of flattery. It’s the dullest form of boredom.

Muslim Arabs Whine: “We’re Not White, We Want Separate Race on Census Form to Get More Govt $$$”; “White is Weird”

By Debbie Schlussel

Hey, it’s time for the Fine Whine of the Week.

It’s bad enough that the U.S. Census Bureau pays Muslim Arabs, who are employees of Muslim-dominated Arab welfare agencies, to be census takers.  They lie, exaggerate, and falsify forms to overcount their population in order to get government cash.

“Former” Islamic Terrorist Imad Hamad Whines to Census: “We’re Not White, We Want Separate Census ‘Race,’ More Govt $$$”

(Hamadafat by Six Meat Buffet/Preston Taylor Holmes)

But it’s apparently not enough.  Now Arab Muslims are demanding a separate census category–and a separate race–on U.S. Census forms, in order to get even more government cash doled out to them.  It’s also a bid to increase affirmative action preferences–which already exist in government contracting–for Arabs in America.  The impetus behind this is a Muslim-dominated, openly pro-Hezbollah/pro-HAMAS group, the deceptively-named American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), headed in Michigan by “former” Islamic terrorist, FBI award revokee, and marriage fraud perpetrator Imad Hamad.

Predictably, their sob story is written by Islamic propagandist and Detroit Free Press regurgitator, er . . . “reporter,” Niraj Warikoo:

The 2010 census form — in a departure from 2000 and previous decades — will not contain a question asking people about their ancestry, prompting concern among metro Detroit’s diverse ethnic communities. Many in the sizable Arab-American population in metro Detroit — who have faced a host of challenges during the past 10 years — are particularly concerned.

HUH? “Challenges”? Puh-leeze. The last ten years in America have been the best for Muslim Arabs (the Arabs whining for a Census category) of any decade in history. They’ve had two Presidents, from both major parties, kiss their asses, increase their immigration to America, and give in to their every whim. Stop editorializing, Niraj Warikoo.

Don’t Believe the Hype: “Avatar” Stinks (Long, Boring, Unoriginal, Uber-Left)

By Debbie Schlussel

If you want a Cliff’s Notes (or, I guess, Debbie’s Notes) version of my review of “Avatar,” refer back to my review of the just as awful (but about half as long) “The Battle For Terra,” (which was released in May).  The story, plot, etc. of the two movies are exactly the same.

avatar

Despite the out-of-control hype over “Avatar,” the movie is silly, long, boring, and heavy-handed.  And did I mention, sleep-inducing?  I’ve heard other movie critics and reports say that the 3D animation in this movie is “the most visually stimulating movie I’ve ever seen,” “the best 3D ever,” “Oscar material,” “will change cinema forever,” “a Hollywood colossus,” and even that it “caused motion sickness.”

Warms My Heart: Americans (& Media) Finally Getting it on Obama; But Sad US Has to Sink This Far to “Get It”

By Debbie Schlussel

Check out the video below from last night’s NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. It’s surprising that they didn’t spin it much. America is finally seeing the light on Barack Obama, his baloney healthcare, etc.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

I’m very sad that America has to be in such horrible economic straits for Americans to get it that Obama ain’t the answer, that government cash giveaways don’t work, that socialist nationalized healthcare will be a failure and a boondoggle.  But if that’s what it takes, so be it.  Better late than never.  These polls warm the cockles of my heart.  Unfortunately, they won’t stop the far-left Congress and the man who signs the bills and is living it up at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. That’s the depressing part. As Americans, we can get through this bad time, if we elect leaders who take the right steps to move us out of this hole, rather than dig us deeper into. For at least the next year, we still have the wrong people. And for at least the next 3, we still have the wrong people at the top.

Sadly, there isn’t a good choice at the top to oppose him. An “Entertainment Tonight” subject and airhead, empty red skirtsuit from Alaska ain’t gonna be the one to do it. And if she is, we’ll have many, many dark years ahead of us in America.

Nation of Islam Official: “I Got My FOX News Girlfriend to Do” Pandering “Farrakhan Interview, Give My $ to Bush-Cheney”

By Debbie Schlussel

Whether or not you live in Detroit, you will find this of interest because it shows how easily the Nation of Islam (and any other such Islamic group) can infiltrate and bias the news coverage you see even more than it already is biased, how local media doesn’t give both sides in stories of alleged physical abuse when one of their own is playing the “domestic abuse card,” and how many news organizations flat out lie.

Recently, I told you more about Fanchon Stinger, the fired FOX News / News Corp employee and anchor of Detroit’s FOX owned-and-operated news operation, FOX 2 News.  I’ve been on the story for the last year-and-a-half, telling you what the mainstream media won’t.  She was fired because of her relationship with Rayford Jackson, now a convicted felon, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery.  He bribed then-Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers, wife of Congressman John Conyers, in order to secure a billion-dollar sludge contract with the City of Detroit for a company called Synagro.  Stinger is now trying to rehabilitate her image with apparently phony claims of physical abuse by Jackson (though her scheduled “Good Morning, America” appearance was canceled–thanks to  your efforts).  I write about this in my column in Sunday’s Detroit Free Press.

As I told you over a year-and-a-half ago, FOX 2 News and FOX 2 management were aware of Stinger’s relationship with Jackson for several years and her involvement with his business affairs (as well as his exotic cars she put in her name), and yet, they looked the other way when she gave a half-hour pandering, gushing interview to the racist, bigoted Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.  Last week, I conducted a 40-minute far-ranging interview with Rayford Jackson as he prepares to report to federal prison in January.  He confirmed that as a prominent figure in the Nation of Islam, he was behind the Louis Farrakhan interview, a complete conflict of interest on Stinger’s part.  He also confirmed that Stinger used his money to give a $2,000 campaign contribution to Bush-Cheney ’04, while she was covering the campaign as a morning news anchor.

And he responds to Stinger’s allegations of abuse, noting that several of Detroit’s “objective” news anchors and talk show hosts–Diana Lewis (Detroit ABC affiliate, Channel 7), Carmen Harlan (Detroit NBC affiliate, Local 4), and Paul W. Smith (morning radio talk show host, WJR)–who presented Stinger’s sob story, never contacted him for his side of the story.  So much for “fair and balanced” media. Jackson also talks about what John Conyers knew, the FBI investigation, whether he’ll become an informant on the rest of his activities, and how he is preparing to spend the next five years of his life in federal prison.

The interview is in five parts, below.  Please also note that Jackson is so close to Louis Farrakhan that after the interview concluded, he offered me an interview with Farrakhan (which I probably won’t do).  The interview was conducted at the delicious, kosher Jerusalem Pizza in Southfield, Michigan, a frequent hangout of Jackson and Stinger.

Quote of the Day; PLUS the Tiger Woods Chat Line VIDEO (Mildly Funny)

By Debbie Schlussel

One of Tiger Woods’ problems is the people he hangs out with–guys like Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, both well known for their womanizing.  And he definitely copied their lifestyle.  But that’s not how Barkley–famous for saying, “That’s what I hate about f***ing White people,” though in that case the f-word was an adjective rather than a verb–sees it.  His advice is indispensable.  ‘Cuz, hey, he’s “famous.”

Charles Barkley: “I’m Famous”

Fellow famous idiot, Spike Lee, also thinks these guys are great role models for the golfer with a harem as large as that of a Gulf sheikh.

Quick, somebody please puncture the hot air balloons that are these guys’ heads:

Charles Barkley says Tiger Woods has changed his cellphone number and apparently isn’t talking to some of his famous friends.

Never With a Muslim School, Though

By Debbie Schlussel

While Great Britain continues to be overrun with sundry Muslims of every variety and consistently panders to their every extremist whim, it’s entirely another story when it comes to Judaism, specifically Orthodox Jews.  The UK’s top court is now deciding Judaism for the Jews, and it’s a dangerous precedent on so many levels.

UK Supreme Court: Funny, They Don’t Look Like My Rabbi

It’s interesting that a religion that just wants to be left alone and free to worship–Judaism–has the British courts interfering into its religious tenets and private schools, while it doesn’t ever get involved in deciding anything for the most invasive and forcefully imposing religion–Islam.  I guess the Jews should have attacked the London subway and tried to bomb the Glasgow Airport.  Only then, I suppose, the Brits would keep their judicial noses out of Judaism.

It’s a basic tenet of Judaism in its most accurate form–Orthodox Judaism–that a person is Jewish based on the religion of the mother.  If she is Jewish, so is the child.  If she converted, Orthodox Judaism only recognizes Orthodox Jewish conversions to Judaism, not the watered down kind of the other sects.  Similarly, Conservative Judaism generally does not accept conversions by Reformed Jewish rabbis.  But the British high courts are interfering, in a dangerous mix of church and state.  Suddenly, the British courts are the “Supreme Rabbis.”

A gentile reader who sent me this article comments on this story, “Never With a Muslim School Though.”  And he’s right on target.  They’d never do this to Muslims in Britain (or anywhere in the West). Or there would be riots like you’ve never seen. But in anti-Semitic Britain, anything goes against the Jews.

Britain’s top court was accused of interfering in religious matters after it ruled on Wednesday that a Jewish school was guilty of discrimination by refusing entry to a boy whose mother was a Jew by conversion, not birth.

How Low the Lions Have Sunk

By Debbie Schlussel

You can tell how bad a sports teams is doing, how desperate it is by the tactics it resorts to.  Especially when those tactics are usually reserved for fake women’s “sports” no-one cares about.

embarrassedlionsfan

How low has the 2-11 NFL Detroit Lions team sunk?  Well, the team is in such desperate straits that it’s gone to using a WNBA “marketing technique”:  Free Tickets.

Another Network Green Stunt: Extra Stupid Propaganda Network

By Debbie Schlussel

A couple of years ago, I told you about NBC’s NFL broadcast and pre-game show doing a stupid “green” stunt.  The fact is, as I noted then, the most “green” and carbon-neutral thing they can do is to stop broadcasting, shut down completely, and go out of business.  But they don’t want to do that.  They just want you to.

espndevil.jpggreenlove.jpg

And so it goes with ESPN.  All of this is absurdity, and they won’t keep to it for every other college basketball game.  But because they pull a stunt once, we’re supposed to cripple our lives, our businesses, our everything?  Even liberal USA Today Sports on TV columnist Michael Hiestand sees the hypocrisy, given their next game venue:

Pigs ‘R’ Flyin’: Lib Obama Judge is Racist Villain in TV Drama

By Debbie Schlussel

For all of the hype over NBC’s “Law & Order” and its consistently overt attacks on (and lies about) conservatives, sometimes there is turnabout.  And when it happens, as the saying goes, turnabout is fair play.

CBS’ “The Good Wife” Says Yes, Liberals (& Obama Buds) Are Racists, Too

I thought I was dreaming, last night, when I watched the latest episode of the CBS legal drama, “The Good Wife,” and the villain was a racist, crooked, LIBERAL judge.  It’s one of the only shows I watch anymore on prime time TV.   Ostensibly, the show is about a scorned wife, Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), whose politico husband (Chris Noth) is caught in an Eliot Spitzer-style affair and scandal and sent to jail, and how she must pick up the pieces and go back to work as a lawyer.  But, really, it harkens back to one of those serious legal dramas from the ’80s a la “L.A. Law.”  It’s not sophisticated and doesn’t pretend to be.  But it’s CBS’ top-rated new show.

On last night’s episode, a liberal judge (played by Tony Goldwyn, grandson of Samuel Goldwyn of MGM fame) who is friends with Barack Obama, discriminates against Black juvenile offenders.  He sends them to long prison sentences, sparing the White kids juvie time and sentencing them to probation.  And in a “ripped from the headlines” moment, he is also sending all the kids to a privately run detention facility and taking kickbacks to pay off his gambling habit.  It’s a riff off the case in Pennsylvania, in which a liberal judge was doing the same (taking the kickbacks from the juvie center, but not a racist–he sent all the kids to hard time for petty, trivial crimes, regardless of their race).

But the dialogue shocked me, as I never dreamed I’d hear lines like these on a major broadcast TV network drama:
