Bill O’Reilly Goes Off on ‘Morally Bankrupt’ Liberals: Don’t Care About the Defenseless

Mediaite.com:

Bill O’Reilly was set off tonight by Democrats’ support of Planned Parenthood to rant against liberals for being “morally bankrupt.”

He told Charles Krauthammer tonight that the liberal philosophy has gone off the rails and, assuming Krauthammer agreed, said that liberals “don’t believe in helping the downtrodden” or protecting the defenseless, and are “cynical vote-counters who will do anything for power.”

Krauthammer slightly disagreed, saying Democrats do have a strong commitment to “underdogs” and they aren’t exactly morally bankrupt.

But O’Reilly said anyone who’s for “abortion on demand” doesn’t care about the “least defenseless in this world” and he even invoked the Nazis at one point. “They know,” he said, “this is not morally acceptable to people who really care about the defenseless.”

Department of Justice Backtracks, Hillary Clinton Email Inquiry Was Not ‘Criminal’

Mediaite.com:

The Department of Justice has apparently backtracked from an earlier statement saying that they had received a criminal referral into Hillary Clinton‘s email account from inspector generals in the State Department and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The New York Times reported that, “Two inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into whether sensitive government information was mishandled in connection with the personal email account Hillary Rodham Clinton used as secretary of state…”

“A Justice Department official confirmed the department received a criminal referral but gave no other details,” Reuter’s Jonathan Allen reported. But the DoJ walked back that statement later in the afternoon, clarifying that the referral was not criminal in nature.

The confirmation-turned-contradiction of the Times is sure to inflame the heated debate surrounding the allegations contained in the piece. The article had already been edited under pressure from the Clinton campaign, infuriating liberal and conservative journalists alike.

Kirsten Powers Rips Obama for Being ‘Largely Silent’ on Christian Slaughter

Mediaite.com:

What do you call it when 12 men are drowned at sea for praying to Jesus?

Answer: Religious persecution. 

Yet, when a throng of Muslims threw a dozen Christians overboard a migrant ship traveling from Libya to Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi missed the opportunity to label it as such. Standing next to President Obama at their joint news conference Friday, Renzi dismissed it as a one-off event and said, "The problem is not a problem of (a) clash of religions."

While the prime minister plunged his head into the sand, Italian authorities arrested and charged the Muslim migrants with "multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate," according to the BBC.

As Renzi was questioned about the incident, Obama was mute on the killings. He failed to interject any sense of outrage or even tepid concern for the targeting of Christians for their faith. If a Christian mob on a ship bound for Italy threw 12 Muslims to their death for praying to Allah, does anyone think the president would have been so disinterested? When three North Carolina Muslims were gunned down by a virulent atheist, Obama rightly spoke out against the horrifying killings. But he just can't seem to find any passion for the mass persecution of Middle Eastern Christians or the eradication of Christianity from its birthplace.

Religious persecution of Christians is rampant worldwide, as Pew has noted, but nowhere is it more prevalent than in the Middle East and Northern Africa, where followers of Jesus are the targets of religious cleansing. Pope Francis has repeatedly decried the persecution and begged the world for help, but it has had little impact. Western leaders — including Obama — will be remembered for their near silence as this human rights tragedy unfolded. The president's mumblings about the atrocities visited upon Christians (usually extracted after public outcry over his silence) are few and far between. And it will be hard to forget his lecturing of Christians at the National Prayer Breakfast about the centuries-old Crusades while Middle Eastern Christians were at that moment being harassed, driven from their homes, tortured and murdered for their faith. 

A week and a half after Obama's National Prayer Breakfast speech, 21 Coptic Christians were beheaded for being "people of the cross." Seven of the victims were former students of my friend and hero "Mama" Maggie Gobran, known as the "Mother Theresa of Cairo" for her work with the poorest of the poor. She told me these dear men grew up in rural Upper Egypt and had gone to Libya seeking work to support their families. They died with dignity as they called out to their God, while the cowardly murderers masked their faces.

Rather than hectoring Christians about their ancestors' misdeeds, Obama should honor these men and the countless Middle Eastern Christians persecuted before them.
