"...This is a threat. There is simply no other way for an open-minded person to comprehend the meaning of the line. I’ve read thousands of news stories and written a bunch of them, and I can’t think of a single instance I’ve ever run across a similar disclaimer. CNN has absolved the man of his sins. For now.  I guess if HanA**holeSolo does anything they deem ugly, the network reserves the right to put him in “danger”?..."

What makes this even more ominous, is that buzzfeed.com is reporting that CNN outed the wrong guy.

"...The problem is that there is a still-unknown third party here who is just as important, if not more important, to this story.
If the question is what is Trump or Trump’s team looking at, then the fact this video is based on a GIF from Reddit only means that whoever made the video version reads /r/The_Donald. Whoever forwarded the video almost certainly didn’t get it off Reddit.
The video most likely came from a far-right Facebook page that routinely scrape /r/The_Donald and 4chan for memes..."

If this is in fact the case, then this guy just might end up owning a significant portion of CNN. It's being reported that a legal fund has been set up and that lawyers are being sought (specifically, the lawyer Peter Thielle hired to take on the Hulk Hogan lawsuit). If that is true, then CNN is in deep shit. $100,000,000.00 worth. All it takes is that single sentence "CNN reserves the right to..." That can only mean they meant to blackmail this guy...not to mention impinging his 1st Amendment right to say ugly or evil shyte.

Secondly, Ted Cruz, who you might not like, but is a very good lawyer quotes GA law,

"Troubling. I assume CNN's lawyers are examining GA § 16-8-16 Theft by extortion. If CNN constructively obtained the gif-maker's IP... https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/882624428479307776
...it's a GA crime if they threatened to "Disseminate any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule....https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/882625143968759810

Assuming Mr. Cruz is correct, then CNN is further liable to criminal prosecution.

In The Can For Obama...

...and a CNN reporter actually admitted that someone said that to her...

Soledad O'Brien Melts Down....

Here's the video of Ms. O'Brien




This woman is an idiot.

Father & Son Interview on CNN

Here's a brief interview of Ron & Rand Paul on CNN with John King.

Pelosi/Left "Desperately Seeking Nazi's"

Now CNN and other news organizations have jumped into the fray...CNN has been showing a poster of Mr. Obama with a photo shopped Hitler 'tache. To quote the Wall Street Journal,

"to illustrate the supposed extremism of ObamaCare critics"

Q: Do you think there’s a legitimate grassroots movement going on here?
Pelosi: I think they’re AstroTurf. You be the judge. They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.

After all, if you're not a supporter of Mr. Obama, you have to be an extremist, and therefore must be a NAZI. That's forgetting that the basic tenets of National SOCIALISM are inimical to conservatives. After all any party that's called "National Socialist Workers Party" ain't gonna support limited government intervention in either the economy, or anything else for that matter. But first and foremost, to label anyone who is in opposition to the Democratic Party in general and Mr. Obama in particular, as a NAZI and an extremist, is in itself, hypocritical.

Additionally, if you look at the "posters" themselves, you easily see that they are from Lyndon LaRouchePac...who is a perpetual candidate for the presidency and a serious idiot, but under the 1st Amendment, we DO have the right to be idiots when we feel like it. Come on CNN, MSNBC, et al, if you did a little fact checking, you'd see this stuff yourselves!
