In an appearance to promote the upcoming season of his HBO talk show, liberal commentator Bill Maher slammed politically-correct liberals for not truly standing up for free speech in the aftermath of the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices. Maher referred to the aforementioned liberals as a “pussy nation,” adding that they must stand up for their principles.
[…]  Maher made his comments to ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel on his late night show Wednesday night. “This was really big shit,” Maher said. “And we have to not avoid who did this.” “Well, we presume…” Kimmel said before Maher cut him off. Watch:

Let it not be said that Islamists have the market cornered on moonbat religious idiocy.
Whereas earlier we shared MSNBC equivocating lawsuits with murderous slaughter, similarly Catholic League President Bill Donohue essentially says, yeah, well those horrible cartoonists deserved it; they had it coming; they asked for it….
(Via TR) Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League, decried the violence of the Charlie Hebdo massacre on his organization’s website, but contended the French satirical magazine brought the attack on itself by publishing offensive cartoons. Donohue started by saying that the killing, “must be unequivocally condemned” but “neither should we tolerate the kind of intolerance that provoked this violent reaction.”

“Those who work at this newspaper have a long and disgusting record of going way beyond the mere lampooning of public figures, and this is especially true of their depictions of religious figures. For example, they have shown nuns masturbating and popes wearing condoms. They have also shown Muhammad in pornographic poses. (more…)

(Daily Mail) Four of France’s most revered cartoonists – Stephane Charbonnier, Georges Wolinski, Bernard ‘Tignous’ Verlhac and Jean Cabut – were among 12 people executed by masked gunmen in Paris today at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Two masked men brandishing Kalashnikovs burst into the magazine’s headquarters this morning, opening fire on staff, also shooting dead contributor Bernard Maris, 68.
Police officers were involved in a gunfight with the ‘calm and highly disciplined men’, who escaped in a hijacked car, speeding away towards east Paris. (more…)

I guarantee you if this kid was reading the Koran, the teacher would not have told him to put it away.

Cultural Marxism Strikes Again – (Via Truth Revolt) A 12-year-old Missouri middle-schooler was told by his teacher that reading the Bible during free time is prohibited.
Loyal Grandstaff’s father said his son’s freedoms of religion and speech were both violated. He is reaching out to the school for answers, according to WDAF-TV.
The boy told the news station:

I like to read my Bible because it’s a good book. I was just reading, just reading because I had free time. A time to do what I wanted to, so I just broke it out and read.

Loyal said he wanted to read the Bible during free time because he feels encouraged by it. He stated that he wasn’t reading aloud or sharing the book with any other classmates when his teacher approached and told him to put it away. (read more)

The Keystone Pipeline has the support of 68% of all Americans and President Obama has vowed to kill any efforts toward it.    Some people ask why would Obama take a position so far away from the American electorate?   
I quietly respond: when ObamaCare was constructed 74% of the nation opposed it – what ‘the majority want’ has nothing to do with what progressives do.  They do what they want.  
WASHINGTON DC – The White House said on Tuesday that it would veto legislation that approves construction of the Keystone XL pipeline if it passes Congress.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to make a bill that green lights the $8 billion oil sands project the first item to hit President Obama’s desk this year. (more…)

Yesterday, we shared that Weasel Zippers had located and distributed the #BlackBrunch planning and coordination guide. Apparently this exposure to sunlight infuriated the organizers, and a DDoS attack was launched against Zippers taking down their servers for 10+ hours.
Now that Zippy is back up and running, there’s only one thing left to do.
Here it is again:

Because 108,000 people read it here yesterday, and 19,000 people read it via the SCRIBD account.  So we added it to the CTH SCRIBD library, just to present additional highlights… And, as with all pdf documents we upload to the SCRIBD account, you can share, email or download – or, well, actually, do whatever you want with them, they’re free.   Just saying.

The left-wing media machine is striking out against Sharyl Attkisson for filing suit.  However, what the professional left fail to address is the ever present question: what other venue for redress does Attkisson have?  The DOJ obtusely denies the claim stating:

To our knowledge, the Justice Department has never compromised Ms. Attkisson’s computers, or otherwise sought any information from or concerning any telephone, computer or other media device she may own or use. (link)

Yet, within the legal DOJ obfuscation you’ll note the absence of a specific denial.  Against the backdrop of a provably weaponized DOJ commanded by Attorney General Eric Holder, who has specifically and intentionally targeted reporters, there is more than enough evidence to support the Attkisson forensic team who have identified government agencies as the source of the illegal tapping.   The discovery phase of a lawsuit is the only actionable redress to gain sunlight. 
(VIA FOX NEWS) Former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson has sued the Justice Department over the hacking of her computers, officially accusing the Obama administration of illegal surveillance while she was reporting on administration scandals.

On Saturday and Sunday morning in California and New York, activists from the Black Lives Matter group invaded numerous eateries shouting, harassing customers and screaming anti-police rhetoric. Their stated goal was to impress upon people of all races the struggles of what it’s like to be black in America. Unfortunately for them, their cause was mostly ignored and in many cases mocked by patrons and social media.
In a document obtained by Weasel Zippers, activists outline their plans for disrupting businesses, assigning members of their group to stall and talk with store owners and management. They assign various persons the tasks of taking photos, shooting video, interacting with police and ensuring the safety of illegal and disruptive demonstrations.

Get beyond all the righteous pontificating and it sounds like someone wants to cash in and write a book…. The pdf of the filed lawsuit is here…. and, oh yeah – check out the lawyers. Always check out the lawyers.  

ST. LOUIS COUNTY • A member of the grand jury who declined to file criminal charges against former Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown sued St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch Monday for the right to speak publicly about the proceedings.
The plaintiff, identified in court documents only as “Grand Juror Doe,” has alleged First Amendment violations in a civil suit filed in federal court in St. Louis. According to the lawsuit, Doe wants to talk publicly about the experience of serving on a grand jury, the evidence and investigation that the plaintiff believes would educate the public and “to advocate for legislative change to the way grand juries are conducted in Missouri.”
