Fatty Mardell and co tell us that really all is well with St Barry and America.
but the truth is very different, finally some of our media are starting to pick up on the fact that Barry is as popular as a turd in a swimming pool.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1325221/Obama-heckled-Connecticut.html
Obama Heckle
It was worse than you think
Yemen, INBBC and ‘moderate’ Muslims.
In INBBC’s make-believe world, isn’t it about this time that many people INBBC calls ‘moderate’ Muslims are supposed to be clearly condemning the Yemen Islamic jihad plot?
We are all deafened by their protests.
I hear they will gather 100,000 strong in Trafalgar Square tomorrow to decry terrorism.
Rhod Sharp on Radio 5 right now is a real hoot. He’s interviewing the leftists from Stewarts liberal rant today. Of course all the people Sharp appears to be interviewing appear to be WHITE, but I’m sure there are some black folks there, really I’m sure there are.
We hear Stewart claiming that there are 10 million there, of course the BBC don’t point out this was a joke, probably hoping a few nutters in the UK will believe it.
Sharp of course states he doesn’t think the Republicans will walk it next week (he clearly hopes that isn’t the case), then when his guests are allowed to attack the Republicans Sharp sniggers along with them.
We also got Stewarts sound bite that really all right wing white people really don’t like Barry coz he’s black, you can always tell when the left have hit rock bottom when the race card comes out.
Even when Mark Mardell tries to be reasonable, he commits glaring errors which show how ignorant and insular he is.
Tea Party not so mad
Mardell is visiting yet another Tea Party rally, and makes an actual effort to get past the superficial and the easy pickings on the fringe to discover that there are some people who have genuine concerns and aren’t just foaming-at-the-mouth extremists. Good for him, at last. Why it took him and his BBC colleagues 18 months to figure this out and begin to have a more honest look at things, I’ll never know.
But even as he claims to be paying attention, he clearly isn’t. First, there’s the obligatory swipe at Sarah Palin, in which Mardell does his best Matt Frei imitation:
We’d all gathered as three buses from the Tea Party Express rolled into the car park. The organisers hadn’t been able to tell me if Sarah Palin would appear as originally advertised. She has apparently grown rather capricious when bestowing the favour of her presence.
It’s as if these Beeboids are genetically incapable of mentioning her name without making some reflexive attack.
Now for the unbelievable ignorance of the BBC North America editor, the man whom the BBC expects you to trust most about US issues:
But if the crowd were disappointed at the no-show, they certainly didn’t show it, gathering in front of the bus and whooping “Freedom” before settling down to listen to speakers, including a woman in high-heeled boots who out-Palined Palin with a swooping, giggling delivery of political punchlines. Unlike Sarah Palin she also gave a solo performance of the national anthem, with heavy emphasis on the line “one nation under God” and less politically explicable weight on the word “stars”.
Oh my goodness. Here are the words of the national anthem of the US, the “Star Spangled Banner” (actually just the first verse, which is the only bit anyone ever does, and is officially it):
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
What so proudly we watch
Where are the words “one nation under God”, Mark? Oh, that’s right: they’re in the f@#$ing Pledge of Allegiance. Even if the woman sang all the verses of the “Star Spangled Banner” – which I seriously doubt, as nobody ever does it, and nobody would even know what the hell she was doing if she went past the first verse – the only thing close is two lines before the end: In this be our motto: “In God is our trust”.
Mark Mardell, the BBC North America editor for over a year now, is so ignorant that he doesn’t know the difference between the national anthem – sung at every single sports event in the country – and the Pledge of Allegiance – which isn’t sung at all but is simply recited. Or he just wasn’t paying attention and made something up later.
He just sinks lower and lower as his beloved Obamessiah goes further and further down in the polls. I think it’s having an effect on his ability to do his job, even by BBC standards. Get rid of him.
I think you are too kind to Mardell. His article includes a link to a really snide Washington Post article about the Tea Party and candidates such as Christine O’Donnell. An article already 2 weeks old.
Where’s the link to any of the many articles stating that O’Donnell was reckoned by most to have performed pretty well in the TV debate with Chris Coons ? Or saying that Coons was wooden, effete and ineffectual in debate ?
These 2 American Democrats are as critical of Obama as anyone I have seen. Mardell and the rest of the BBC’s US team – and all the others now flying off to the US, Naughtie et al, none of them have reported how deep is the animosity towards Obama across so much of the political spectrum.

It takes a REAL political reporter in the UK to tell it like it is (and why is Trevor Kavanagh, doyen of UK political reporters, so seldom on the BBC ?):

I notice that the header picture which accompanys the newspaper review on the BBC website does not show the Daily Mail at all whilst giving double space to the Observer (Gardian). Obviously no bias there then! Impartiality, its in our genes.
What does the team think…?
Having ‘enjoyed’ a few hours (all clocks altered bar my internal one) flitting from the regurgitated 1/2 hr servings from our major news broadcasters, I turned to Aunty’s blog pages to see what’s what and where a pithy comment may serve. Mainly in matters political as my other key area of interest, the environment, is now solely the preserve of Richard Black (Shuckman and Harrabin being ‘broadcast and run’ only, and Ethical Man having given up… possibly being ethical as well now the show has wrapped), and his blog is a bad joke now.
But…odd.
Almost any area of discourse ‘closed for comments’.
Is this ‘the cuts’?
Or just an excuse to get back to the good old days where ‘we’ were told how to think and certainly did not taint the purity of the BBC branded air and webspaces by pointing out where ‘they’ are utter pants.
At least, not where they control the pitch if, ironically, using our money.
Unique.
No partiality here.
As Andrew ‘Get A Life’ Marr shows himself in favour of ‘humour’ as espoused by Harriet ‘PC unless it’s me’ Harperson, one looks forward to him and fellow Beeboids not getting collective knickers in a twist in future when those whose views they do not share get equally (it being all about quality) teasing.
Yes the BBC approach to lesbian Harman’s comments yesterday were from the start sniggering, that it was Hattie just being Hattie.
She’s a vile of sexist racist dyke who should be booted out of politics.
Andrew Marr straight in with a defence of Harriet Harman.
Woud he defend a Tory making a personal attack on the appearance of an other politician.
So, Mr. ‘Yu, yum..’ Marrshmallow, when agreeing with Alice Cooper on ‘giving parties you like a free pass for several years to get things going’, might we expect the BBC to extend similar courtesies to say, the coaltion here?
Or, is it only applicable when it’s guys you agree with?
Unique.
Interesting to note that the entirely balanced composition of Mr.Marr’s sofa review decided in favour of gay luvvie lefties… with one on the invite list for next week.
That, and the notion of legal hunting being met with murder in revenge as tickedy-boo. arf, arf. Marr, you are an utter incompetent… and tool.
iaindale What a lovely guy Alice Cooper is. A genuine pleasure to talk to. And Helena Kennedy as beautiful as ever. #iaminlovewithher
Which probably explains the awesome counter debate efforts made, and the reasons for his invitation.
Nice of the Baroness to note in her roundup, with Andrew humming in agreement off camera, that THE COALITION IS IN CRISIS!!!
They really are a cracked record.
And now we’re to be treated to ‘a debate’ on killing for sport. Wonder if we’ll have any on via the iPhone speed dial advocating shooting people?
I think I’ll give Susannah ‘I don’t know about that unless it’s on the telepompter’ Reid a miss.
Trying hard to to listen to his ‘interview’ with an admittedly less than convincing Home Sec, albeit with him trying to set up a UK/US spat she can’t rise to. Is that the national broadcasters job?
One of Craig’s breakdowns on his desperate waffling attempts to get his point across instead of asking questions would be interesting.
Oooo goody.
A luvvie is about to tell us about Palestine. And she’s a Jew (‘my lot’).
They really have stacked the deck today.
Meanwhile the Graun tells us what the BBC deserves…

Oddly, not so much shared in the comments that a free.
When the BBC tells me something, or someone, is ‘the country’s best loved’, is that substantiated anywhere, or just made up for when they get featured… a lot.. as an authority figure the BBC thinks folk must agree with?
Would Hattie’s speech to the Scottish Labout Party have been reported anywhere south of the border had she not delivered the line about Danny Alexander? The delivery looked smug. Could it have been deliberate (and with the knowledge of the fast apology) to ensure a wider audience.
I noticed that the BBC News last night compared it to the phrase about ‘ravaged like a dead sheep’ and several others political jibes to lessen the ‘offence’. The context was wrong, the skill was wrong and the nastiness far greater.
What was the real agenda?
Exactly, her comments were racial, if Danny Alexander had been black with black curly hair and she’d said that a similar comments she’d be in jail by now.
She’s a fat ugly old hag dyke.
Q: What’s the difference between a ginger rodent and a golligwog?
A: Racist!
Brown remembers he has constituents to represent, and drifts back to Parliament in his own time, tomorrow
“Gordon Brown set to deliver Commons speech”

How nice will Beedoids be to him before they go on strike on Friday?
What a hoot. Frank the plank Gardner (remember he got slotted by Muslims and yet he still loves them) admits that the Saudi re-education centres are a failure and that many of the terrorists now in Yemen were released from Gitmo. Well well well Frank the plank, why do you think George Bush wanted these twats locked up in the first place?
“The BBC sucks up to Pagans ”
(Damian Thompson)
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100061559/the-bbc-sucks-up-to-pagans/
More hypocrisy from the BBC, then. They fawn over paganism when its domestic, but when Christine O’Donnell admits to having played with a Ouija board in high school, she’s a dangerous lunatic.
The BBC mongos just don’t get it do they? Regarding housing benefit, most ordinary people can’t afford the high rents in London nor afford a mortgage, so why should unemployed scum be given priority?
As usual the BBC are on the wrong side of this debate.
Did anyone else see the totally one sided report on the elections in Brazil? The BBC cheerleading for a Socialist President and his successor.
Not a single mention of the high crime rate in Brazil or the murder of young kids on the streets of Rio.
An interesting File on Four tonight. The belated discovery that in a globalised world multinationals seek to pay tax in the most favourable jurisdictions. What a surprise. I suppose this is why the left has suddenly started wailing and whining about Vodaphone.
The underlying libbie assumption is that business exists to fund the state and for no other reason. Rubbish of course but they believe it.No attempt to suggest that the state should drastically reduce tax rates and encourage free enterprise.
It was followed by an incomprehesible “topical ” play that sought to portray the” cuts” as leading us into a nightmare future of a slave underclass.
Seriously bad drivel and just another libbie feelgood 20 minutes.
All we need is a messiah and enough stimulus? Families stalked by the death of a dream
You may not have noticed that Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman is about the death of the American dream but Matt Frei certainly thinks so. You may not have noticed that America has collapsed but Matt Frei certainly has noticed.
When Death of a Salesman was first performed more than half a century ago one critic noted this play is like a timebomb set to go off under the American capitalist system but of course since then that system has found plenty of methods of self destruction.
Just when you think Matt Frei cannot be any more ridiculous – he tops it again.
Patronising fool.
Oh there is always plenty of scope for Frei to make a twat of himself as can fat boy Mardell.
I see that once again the BBC and the Guardian are pushing the ‘legalise’ drugs nonsense.
Beeboids must be getting desperate.
