Watch MSNBC's hosts duel during angry tirade
O'Donnell continued escalating and pointing a finger until Scarborough implored O'Donnell to stop the tirade and let Thiessen answer the torrent of questions he had unleashed. Nonetheless, O'Donnell continued badgering without pause, over every interruption, until Scarborough cut off the segment, went to break and announced he would conduct the rest of the interview without the other MSNBC personalities.
"You just admitted," O'Donnell persisted before fellow MSNBC host Scarborough pulled the plug, "that when you were hit on 9-11, you just said, 'We didn't know who hit us.' You said, 'We didn't know who hit us.' You were told who was going to hit you before we were hit on 9-11, and your administration invited the first attack for which you should live in shame."
O'Donnell, who is also an actor on HBO's series "Big Love" and was a producer and writer for "West Wing," has made headlines for out-of-control rants in interviews before.
In a 2004 interview of John O'Neill, co-founder of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and coauthor with WND's Jerome Corsi of "Unfit for Command," O'Donnell came unhinged, repeatedly shouting that O'Neill was "a professional liar" and "unfit to publish." A commenter at SwiftVets.com later did a count, discovering that in a 10-minute interview, O'Donnell shouted the words "lie," "lies" or "liar" 46 times.
During the more recent presidential campaign, O'Donnell repeatedly talked over Pat Buchanan on "The McLaughlin Group" while discussing Mitt Romney's Mormon "faith of his fathers," which O'Donnell went on to call "racist," "demented," and "based on the work of a lying, fraudulent criminal named Joseph Smith."

Sex Valentines issued by Planned Parenthood
'If Planned Parenthood's honest goal is to help women control their procreation – to plan their parenthood – why does it expend so much energy promoting sexual titillation and promiscuity?' WND columnist Jill Stanek asked on her blog.
'Obviously the organization has become financially dependent on selling contraceptives and abortion, and what better way to increase sales than promote rampant sex?' Stanek added."

Even if the turnout wasn't the 2 million that some conservatives tried, briefly, to claim, it was still enough to fill the streets near the Capitol. It was also ample testament to the strength of a certain strain of right-wing populist rage and the talking head who has harnessed it."

Gramsci's Grand Plan
What Gramsci proposed, in short, was a renovation of Communist methodology and a streamlining and updating of Marx's antiquated strategies. Let there be no doubt that Gramsci's vision of the future was entirely Marxist and that he accepted the validity of Marxism's overall worldview. Where he differed was in the process for achieving the victory of that worldview. Gramsci wrote that "there can and must be a 'political hegemony' even before assuming government power, and in order to exercise political leadership or hegemony one must not count solely on the power and material force that are given by government." What he meant is that it is incumbent upon Marxists to win the hearts and minds of the people, and not to rest hopes for the future solely on force or power.
The first phase in achieving "cultural hegemony" over a nation is the undermining of all elements of traditional culture. Churches are thus transformed into ideology-driven political clubs, with the stress on "social justice" and egalitarianism, with worship reduced to trivialized entertainment, and with age-old doctrinal and moral teachings "modernized" or diminished to the point of irrelevancy. Genuine education is replaced by "dumbed down" and "politically correct" curricula, and standards are reduced dramatically. The mass media are fashioned into instruments for mass manipulation and for harassing and discrediting traditional institutions and their spokesmen. Morality, decency, and old virtues are ridiculed without respite. Tradition-minded clergymen are portrayed as hypocrites and virtuous men and women as prudish, stuffy, and unenlightened.
With respect to the subject of the undermining of the American family, and to many other aspects of the Gramscian technique, let us explore briefly the story of the Frankfurt School. This organization of leftist intellectuals, also known as the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, was founded in the 1920s in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. There it flourished amidst the decadence of the Weimar period, both compounding and feeding off the decadence, and extending its influence throughout the country.
With Hitler's acquisition of the chancellorship in 1933, the leftist stalwarts of the Frankfurt School fled Germany for the United States, where they soon established a new institute at Columbia University. As is characteristic of such men, they repaid their debt to the U.S. for sheltering them from Nazi brutality by turning their attention to what they regarded as the injustices and social deficiencies inherent to our system and society. Immediately they set about devising a program of revolutionary reform for America.

African Immigrants Accuse Wal-Mart of Discrimination - NYTimes.com
Last year, the company agreed to pay $17.5 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused it of discriminating against African-Americans applying for jobs as truck drivers. And it is now facing the largest employment-discrimination class-action suit in American history, a sex-discrimination suit brought on behalf of more than 1.5 million women who are current or former employees.
But in the last six years, Wal-Mart has tried to recast its image — tying bonuses of corporate officers to minority hiring and mentoring, putting employees through diversity training and using suppliers owned by minorities and women.
“We have an extraordinarily diverse base of customers and an extraordinarily diverse base of associates.” Mr. Rossiter said. “We understand and embrace that commitment.”"

Feds muscle into 'gay' teen's bullying lawsuit
"They are making up a legal violation where there hasn't been one," Clegg said. "If the Civil Rights Division and the Obama administration want to propose that Title IX be amended to include sexual orientation, that's something they can do and that can be debated in Congress. But Congress has not passed a law that deals with discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation."

Government policy now targeting 'homophobia'
Such 'prejudice,' the policy affirms, must be combated.
And while the word 'church' is never explicitly mentioned in the policy, it does declare it important to publicize the most 'insidious' forms of homophobia with a plan to 'target the various locations in which homophobic attitudes and behavior patterns, as well as heterosexist stereotypes, are found.'
The policy also warns, 'It will be necessary to deal with the heterosexist values on which some institutional practices are founded.'"

Jimmy Carter: Abuse of Women? Blame the Catholics and Southern Baptists
...Carter appeals to his authority as someone who has 'taught Bible lessons for more than 65 years.'
In opposition to the vast majority of authentic scholars and historians, Carter asserted: 'It's clear that during the early Christian era women served as deacons, priests, bishops, apostles, teachers and prophets.' He added: 'It wasn't until the 4th century or the 3rd at the earliest that dominant Christian leaders, all men, twisted and distorted Holy Scriptures to perpetuate their ascendant position within the religious hierarchy.'
Contrary to the theorizing of Carter, Pope John Paul II taught, 'The Lord Jesus chose men to form the college of the twelve apostles, and the apostles did the same when they chose collaborators to succeed them in their ministry.' He added: 'the Church recognizes herself to be bound by this choice made by the Lord himself. For this reason the ordination of women is not possible.' (Catechism of the Catholic Church; 1577)
Carter singled out the Southern Baptist Convention and Roman Catholic Church, claiming that they 'view that the Almighty considers women to be inferior to men.' However, both Christian faiths hold to the Scriptural truth that God created men and women equal.
Carter suggests that only in permitting women to become priests and pastors could male religious leaders choose to interpret teachings to exalt rather than subjugate women. 'They have, for their own selfish ends, overwhelmingly chosen the latter, subjugation,' he said.
'Their continuing choice provides a foundation or justification for much of the pervasive persecution and abuse of women throughout the world,' said Carter. Carter goes on to list horrific violations against women such as rape, genital mutilation, abortion of female embryos and spousal battery.
Responding to Carter's nearly identical points in July, John Paul Meenan, Professor of Theology at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry's Bay, Ontario characterized Carter's points as 'ridiculous,' noting that there was no evidence of the ordination of women in the early Church.
Moreover, Meenan stressed that historically Christianity ought to be credited for promoting the dignity of women. 'It is the Church that invariably improved the lot of women in the lands that were converted and Christianized,' he said."
