Illinois Congressman not Florida Congressman

One abiding theme here at the Gypsy Chief Blog is the press always gets it wrong. I was thinking that the other day when I heard Richard Lui of MSNBC say that Joe Walsh [R-IL] shouted “You Lie” at last year’s SOTU speech. Unfortunately the you lie comment was made by Joe Wilson [R-SC] not Joe Walsh. Walsh, in a tough re-election fight against Tammy Duckworth is the child support guy and Tea-Party favorite.

Decided there wasn’t enough to blog about but then today the Coloradoan came up with a doozy of a Tweet. The Coloradoan says in a Tweet Florida Congressman is thrown off House Floor for wearing hoodie [I am paraphrasing]. Sorry Coloadoan, Bobby Rush is from the Chicagoland area of Illinois, not Florida.

Accuracy in journalism is key

This subject, Rushbo’s career and its decline, has special significance to me since Limbaugh got his radio start on KFBK 1530 AM in Sacramento. Folks in The Big Tomato have been trying to live this down ever since. A staple of right wing toxic talk is that others are a threat to you. But Sacramento has been noted as the most ethnically and racially diverse city in America [2002]. Could that diversity have contributed to the rise of Rush Limbaugh?
~~ Gypsy Chief

Limbaugh’s radio career was revived by Norm Woodruff, a San Francisco radio executive who urged friends at Sacramento’s KFBK to hire him at a time when he was essentially unknown in the radio business. Woodruff even took Limbaugh shopping for clothes, improving his appearance to make a better impression on KFBK brass. The station decided to take a chance, putting Limbaugh on in what had been Morton Downey, Jr.’s time slot. His ratings were better than Downey’s, putting Limbaugh’s career back on track. In telling the story of his success, Limbaugh occasionally mentions Woodruff’s help, but he never mentions that Woodruff was openly gay, and died of AIDS in the 1980s.

Religious Right Groups ask members to Pray Away the Occupy

Published in Right Wing Watch on Nov. 11 by Brian Tashman original article here

While Religious Right leaders lauded tea party groups for taking to the streets, now they are asking for the government, and God, to crush the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Earlier this week, the Family Research Council asked members to pray against “these raucus [sic] groups” and “ideological anarchists,” asking for God to “harvest souls for Christ among them”:

The expanded Wall Street Occupation is endorsed by labor unions, liberal mayors, governors, the White House, the American Nazi and Communist parties, ACORN, Hollywood enertainers [sic] and a long list of supra-liberal and liberal groups, not the least of which is the liberal media. Encampments in major cities, including Washington, DC, are not only a nuisance, a health hazard and an embarrassment [sic] to thinking Americans, they are increasingly becoming violent. Ideological anarchists intimidate and abuse bystanders, damage automobiles, jump on and in front of moving vehicles, urinate and defacate [sic] on private and public property, go naked and perform sex acts in public, produce tons of garbage that taxpayers have to collect and haul away, etc. Yet the mainstream press, which villainized [sic] the Tea Party movement, after long ignoring it, flagrantly idealizes the Occupiers and ignores the damage and ugly crimes happening in most places where an occupation is in progress. Fortunately the movement is “losing its bloom,” and beginning to die out. The honeymoon among these diverse activists may be coming to an end.

May the movement simply fizzle. May God protect those who live nearby and must encounter these raucus [sic] groups. May God harvest souls for Christ from among them just as He did discontented youth in the Jesus Movment [sic] of the 60′s and 70′s (1 Sam 22:1-2; 2 Chr 15:4-7; Ps 18:40-50; Is 42:14-18; Lk 19:39-40; Rom 8:15-16; 10:20).
