THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

RED EYE - APRIL 23, 2014 FULL EPISODE



Greg welcomes guests Boomer Esiason and Jill Dobson.

Paul Ryan Takes McKay Coppins To Church
For a year or so, House Budget Committee Chairman and possible 2016 presidential candidate Paul Ryan has been making trips to the inner city to help understand urban poverty and how the federal government can help fix it.
The trips have been kept mostly hush-hush, but in the wake of a recent controversy about remarks Ryan made about generational poverty, he allowed a reporter to tag along for the first time. That reporter? BuzzFeed's McKay Coppins.
The results are predictable. Ryan comes across as a deeply awkward millionaire paralyzed by political correctness as he struggles to identify with a black church congregation in Indianapolis, Indiana. In one particularly embarrassing moment, Ryan corrects himself from uttering similar language to that which got him in trouble, only to nervously search for something more appropriate and settle on a comically bland statement that the Romney campaign wanted to "try for everybody's vote."
Another painful anecdote is a joke Ryan told about how early he was meeting with the group at the church. "Usually when I get up this early, I get up to kill something," Ryan said. He was referring to hunting, but no one in the audience understood him until he clarified it.
In the wake of Coppins' piece on Donald Trump in which he described the real-estate mogul as a con-man perpetually pretending to run for office to bask in the attention that came from the ruse, some GOP operatives warned Republican flacks not to let Coppins anywhere near their bosses. Looks like Ryan didn't get the memo.

EXPOSING PLANNED PARENTHOOD ON BUZZFEED



PersonhoodUSA went after Planned Parenthood on BuzzFeed last week and left-wing supporters of the abortion mills were not at all pleased by that.  The outrage was that BuzzFeed's community page dared provide a platform that could be used to promote - gasp! - Conservative views.  As everybody knows, diverse opinions are shunned by the Left.  

While BuzzFeed wisely resisted the temptation to remove the offending post, the kittens-and-GIFs cool kids did add a disclaimer, just to remind their fans that they didn't do it.  "Community posts are made by members of the community, and are not vetted or endorsed by BuzzFeed."

The list of appalling and illegal behavior on the part of Planned Parenthood includes offering sex-selective abortions, covering up child sex trafficking, failing to report statutory rape and, of course, the lie that Planned Parenthood is more about mammograms than abortion...
