It’s time once again for the Watcher’s Council’s ‘Weasel Of The Week’ nominations, where we pick our choices to compete for the award of the famed Golden Weasel to a public figure who particularly deserves to be slimed and mocked for his or her dastardly deeds during the week. Every Tuesday morning, tune in for the Weasel of the Week nominations!
Here are the nominees…
Bengahzi Babe, Server Wiping Expert And Foundation Fundraising Ace Hillary Clinton!!
The Noisy Room : My nomination this week is Hillary Clinton for calling on Silicon Valley to stop ISIS. I kid you not. She’s going for ripping up the Constitution just the way Obama is:
“You are going to hear all the familiar complaints: ‘freedom of speech,’ ” Mrs. Clinton said in an hourlong speech and question-and-answer session at the Saban Forum, an annual gathering at the Brookings Institution that focuses mostly on Israel’s security issues.
In a reference to Silicon Valley’s reverence for disruptive technologies, Mrs. Clinton said, “We need to put the great disrupters at work at disrupting ISIS,” an acronym used for the militant group.
It was the second time in two weeks that Mrs. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, had thrown herself into the brewing battle between Silicon Valley and the government over what steps should be taken to block the use of Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and a range of encrypted apps that are adopted by terrorist groups.
Then the hag had the nerve to say that if Iran violated any of the agreement, that she would make sure America responded swiftly and mercilessly. First off, the agreement is not valid. Never was. Second, she alluded to using nuclear weapons against Iran. She pretended to be corrected over it as if it were a slip, but I suspect it wasn’t. “Declaring war on Islam, or demonizing the Muslim community, is not only counter to our values; it plays right into the hands of the terrorists,” Hillary said. Right, because it isn’t like the vast majority of killers slaughtering Americans out there are Muslim… oh, wait. Trust me when I say that if the Hildabeast ever got her way with technology, she would use it against Americans, not the enemy. For being a fascist, she should get the golden weasel this week.
Obama’s Own Racialist And Islamist Friendly Attorney General, Loretta Lynch!!
Bookworm Room : My nominee is Loretta Lynch who, in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, went full dhimmi by announcing that speech that merely edges towards violence will justify full federal prosecution:
“Now obviously this is a country that is based on free speech,” she said. “but when it edges towards violence, when we see the potential for someone lifting that mantle of anti-Muslim rhetoric or, as we saw after 9/11, violence against individuals… when we see that, we will take action.”…
“I think it’s important that as we again talk about the importance of free speech we make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not America. They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted,” she concluded.
That Lynch acknowledges that a First Amendment exists doesn’t change the fact that she’s created a standard that doesn’t exist under the First Amendment. If I remember my law correctly, the standard is that the speech has to be of such a nature that it is an imminent incitement to violence. That would be along the lines of “Hey, you! Take this gun and go shoot the man standing in the doorway.” That is not protected speech.
Saying, “We are witnessing a dangerous problem with the rise of radical Islam in America and we need to do something about it,” is the epitome of free speech. It does not directly incite or order violence, but it does raise serious political issues that a free people may loudly and publicly discuss.
Lynch, however, has just given herself permission to prosecute this language in case some Yahoo in Nowhereville gets it into his head to send a bomb to or crash a car into a mosque. Free speech can never be limited by the fact that a handful of auditors may be stupid, vicious or crazy. To hold otherwise is to go full sharia and, to the extent I don’t believe Lynch is a Muslim, for her to be the perfect dhimmi subject of a Muslim nation.
As Pamela Geller rightly said, if you want to tackle something that has explicit instructions for immediate violence, Lynch had better go after the Koran first.
Maggie’s Notebook : Charlene Storey, New Jersey Councilwoman!
I nominate Charlene Storey, New Jersey Councilwoman for the borough of Roselle Park, for Weasel of the Week because she’s a loser, literally, who tendered her resignation, before recinding her resignation over the issue of calling the town Christmas tree a “Christmas” tree. The council voted to change the name of the town ceremony from “A Tree Lighting” to “A Christmas Tree Lighting.” The vote was 4 to 2 in favor of the change. Ms. Storey doesn’t like losing. She resigned, and then, reportedly changed her mind. According to this source, she is a “Councilwoman at Large” and her term expires on January 7, 2016, so she made some noise before disappearing back into the crowd.
Ms. Storey’s story is not unusual. So many Weasels like her, but the Mayor of the town is unusual. Mayor Hoaknson, a Democrat, is quoted saying “I feel strongly that it is a Christmas tree, and it is a lighting. So therefore, it will be a ‘Christmas tree lighting. Just like the Easter Bunny is the Easter Bunny and not the Holiday Bunny.”
A man of uncommon sense and good will, he will honor Ms. Storey by saying “Happy Holiday” to her, and “Merry Christmas to everyone else.
In addition to being a Democrat, the Mayor is a retired Roselle Park Police lieutenant and a life-long resident of the borough. He said he has received many phone calls supporting the “Christmas” tree from the good people of Roselle Park. Growing up in the town, he said the tree was always a “Christmas tree,” until the lawsuit. And isn’t there always one?
February 1999: “For now, Jersey City has a court’s approval to continue its 35-year tradition of erecting a holiday display of a menorah and a creche outside City Hall as long as officials make sure to include Santa, Frosty the Snowman, and little red sleigh and an evergreen decorated with Kwanzaa ribbons.”
How many years did the townspeople of Judeo-Christian belief show up for the “Tree” lighting? Storey called the renaming “exclusionary,” although she may show up if she chooses to do so. Only she makes it “exclusionary.” The tree lighting is a lighting. She is not required to have a religious experience as the lights flash on, just as we are not required to lose our faith in a Higher Power or Jesus Christ because she is offended.
Prog-Faschist New York Daily News Columnist Linda Stasi !!
Nice Deb : New York Daily News columnist, Linda Stasi, has been accurately described as a “foul, disgusting liberal.” One could also argue that she is a particularly repellent weasel.
The aptly named columnist “blamed of the victim” and engaged in gross moral relativism in her horrific Dec. 6 article asserting “that the interaction between ‘two hate-filled, bigoted municipal employees’ led to the deaths of ’13 innocent people’ who were killed in an act of “unspeakable carnage.”
The post’s title read: “San Bernardino Killers Were ISIS-Loving Monsters — But One of Their Victims Was Just as Bigoted.”
Stasi stated:
One man spent his free time writing frightening, NRA-loving, hate-filled screeds on Facebook about the other’s religion.
The other man quietly stewed and brewed his bigotry, collecting the kind of arsenal that the Facebook poster would have envied.
“What they didn’t realize,” she stated, “is that except for their different religions, they were in many ways similar men who even had the same job.”
What an absolutely repulsive weasel this Stasi creature is.
Well, there it is. What a despicable group of Weasels…ANY OF THEM COULD WIN! Check back Thursday to see which Weasel walks off with the statuette of shame!
Make sure to tune in every Monday for the Watcher’s Forum.
And remember, every Wednesday, the Council has its weekly contest with the members nominating two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. The votes are cast by the Council, and the results are posted on Friday morning.
It’s a weekly magazine of some of the best stuff written in the blogosphere, and you won’t want to miss it...or any of the other fantabulous Watcher’s Council content.
