The ones who claimed to be thankful for their release but called for America to release its &#8220;political prisoners.&#8221; Those three geniuses showed up at the &#8220;<a href="http://www.occupyoakland.org/" target="_blank">Occupy Oakland</a>&#8221; protest today (sister protest of &#8220;Occupy Wall Street&#8221;).</p><p>This is about the most glaring example of far left hypocrisy there is. You would think being freshly sprung from an Iranian prison these 3 kids would want to speak out against the treatment of minorities in Iran. The routine hanging of gay people. The systematic torture and abuse of women. How about the theocratic dictatorship that enslaves the Iranian people and jails American hikers?</p><p>No, none of that stuff. They would rather <a href="http://weaselzippers.us/2011/10/17/berkeley-hikers-freed-from-iran-to-speak-at-occupy-wall-street-protest/" target="_blank">talk about</a>&#8230;</p><blockquote><p>&#8230;they will talk about the connections that can be drawn between what the trio went through in Iran and the situation in U.S. prisons, as well as the hunger strikes taking place in California prisons.</p></blockquote><p>When you read something like that you keep waiting for the punchline and it never comes. The stupidity of these Berkeley grads is stunning. Of course, when you find out all three are former &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_oak_grove_controversy" target="_blank">tree sitter activists</a>&#8221; at Berkeley it all makes sense. A few years ago those morons sat up in an 80 ft redwood tree on campus for weeks to <a href="http://articles.sfgate.com/2008-09-10/news/17157077_1_tree-sitters-uc-berkeley-training-center" target="_blank">protest the building of a new gym</a>.</p><blockquote><p>With a short jump onto a scaffolding platform, four tree-sitters peacefully ended a 649-day standoff with UC Berkeley on Tuesday over the university&#8217;s plan to cut down a grove of trees to build an athletic training center.</p></blockquote><p>We should have let these fools rot in Iran. But if a stint in Iranian prison doesn&#8217;t make you love America then likely nothing will. Congratulations to UC Berkeley for turning out 3 more great <del>Americans</del> citizens of the world.</p><p><object id="otvPlayer" width="400" height="268" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&amp;station=kgo&amp;section=&amp;mediaId=8395449&amp;cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&amp;webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&amp;configPath=/util/&amp;site=" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allownetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="otvPlayer" width="400" height="268" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cdn.abclocal.go.com/static/flash/embeddedPlayer/swf/otvEmLoader.swf?version=&amp;station=kgo&amp;section=&amp;mediaId=8395449&amp;cdnRoot=http://cdn.abclocal.go.com&amp;webRoot=http://abclocal.go.com&amp;configPath=/util/&amp;site=" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/10/17/recently-freed-iran-hikers-speechify-at-occupy-oakland-protest/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Weekend Doc Block: &#8216;Indoctrinate U&#8217;</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/05/08/weekend-doc-block-indoctrinate-u/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/05/08/weekend-doc-block-indoctrinate-u/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2011 10:00:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Documentary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berkeley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[documentary]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indoctrinate u]]></category> <category><![CDATA[left wing universities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[leftist educators]]></category> <category><![CDATA[marxism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[weekend doc block]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/?p=75571</guid> <description><![CDATA[This is one of the most important documentaries I&#8217;ve ever seen.

Whatever the right thing to do is in any given situation you can be sure that Berkeley, California will do the exact opposite.</p><p>I’m not even sure if they believe all this BS or if they just do it to be contrarian. Anyway, the Berkeley City Council is pondering a <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/08/berkeley-may-honor-army-private-accused-of-leaks/" target="_blank">resolution</a> that would make <a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/08/09/wikileaks-leaker-pfc-manning-is-radical-gay-activist/" target="_blank">PFC Bradley Manning</a> a hero and call for his release.</p><blockquote><p>The Berkeley City Council will consider a resolution that would declare the <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/12/08/berkeley-may-honor-army-private-accused-of-leaks/#">Army</a> private suspected of leaking classified information to WikiLeaks a hero and call for his release.</p></blockquote><p>PFC Manning is the reason anyone even knows who Julian Assange is. Manning is allegedly the person who stole the Iraq and Afghanistan war documents and the secret State Department cables. He smuggled the data out on a Lady GaGa CD and then uploaded everything to Wikileaks.</p><p>He’s currently being held in jail by the military and faces a court-marshal that will likely result in a lengthy prison sentence. Manning is responsible for the greatest theft of classified material in US history.</p><p>In my opinion, Manning is a disgusting traitor who should executed if found guilty. I don’t mean sit on death row for 15 years either. He is a soldier who committed treason in wartime. If found guilty he should be taken behind the courthouse and shot.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2010/12/08/berkeley-may-honor-soldier-who-leaked-secret-cables-to-wikileaks/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Red Eye&#8217;s Greg Gutfeld Speaks At Berkeley</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/11/17/video-red-eyes-greg-gutfeld-speaks-at-berkeley/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/11/17/video-red-eyes-greg-gutfeld-speaks-at-berkeley/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:22:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berkeley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fox News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[greg gutfeld]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gutfeld berkeley speech]]></category> <category><![CDATA[red eye]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2009/11/17/video-red-eyes-greg-gutfeld-speaks-at-berkeley/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Here’s the speech Greg Gutfeld gave at Berkeley a couple of months ago.

The protests which made headlines around the country a few months ago still continue to this day, albeit significantly smaller.</p><p>However, what Code Pink lacks in numbers they make-up for with pure insanity. The group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats today for &#8220;Witches, clowns and sirens day,&#8221; the last of the group&#8217;s weeklong homage to Mother&#8217;s Day.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we&#8217;re going to end war,&#8221; Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.</p></blockquote><p>This entire week of protesting has had a different bizarre theme each day in hopes it will attract new protesters to the group&#8217;s efforts. The week has included a day for &#8220;raging grannies&#8221; in which grannies came to protest, some as old as 90 and in wheel chairs no less.</p><p>The group also had &#8220;Take your daughter To Protest Day&#8221; in hopes of creating a brand new generation of looney anti-American b*tches.</p><p>The Marines say that protests have been going on outside the recruitment center for so long that they barely even notice.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Most of the time they are just practicing their right to protest and their freedom of speech or whatever, so it&#8217;s not usually a problem for us. But sometimes it crosses the line, and that happened [Monday] when the grannies were here blocking the entrance and banging on the door,&#8221; Capt. John Paul Wheatcroft told Fox News.</p></blockquote><p>Wheatcroft said the protests have actually been a good thing, because their numbers are up. He said the Marines could never afford to pay for the kind of publicity they&#8217;ve received for free thanks to Code Pink&#8217;s efforts.</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;Ironically, it&#8217;s actually helped us by putting our name out. We&#8217;re now well known. And people know who we are, and where we are, and they come in to talk to us about enlisting. They&#8217;ve gotten us the publicity that we could&#8217;ve never afforded to pay for ourselves,&#8221; Wheatcroft said.</p></blockquote><p>Regardless of whether or not the protests have helped the recruitment effort, it&#8217;s nevertheless disgusting and despicable for Code Pink to be trying to cast &#8220;spells&#8221; on our men and women in uniform.</p><p>Those folks are serving their country for very little pay and don&#8217;t deserve to be disrespected by the left-wing clowns in Berkeley.</p><p>Fox News actually has a 24-hour &#8220;Protest Cam&#8221; set-up in front of the recruitment center which you can look at <strong><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,354400,00.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></strong> to stay abreast of all the action.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones</em></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/05/09/code-pink-protesters-resorting-to-witchcraft-outside-marine-recruiting-center/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee Sticks It To The Berkeley City Council</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/20/gold-star-mother-debbie-lee-sticks-it-to-the-berkeley-city-council/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/20/gold-star-mother-debbie-lee-sticks-it-to-the-berkeley-city-council/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 20 Feb 2008 17:40:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anti-American]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anti-Military]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anti-War]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berkeley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Debbie Lee]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gold Star Mothers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Military]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/20/gold-star-mother-debbie-lee-sticks-it-to-the-berkeley-city-council/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Debbie Lee is a great American]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_6VeLpMloUs&#038;rel=1&#038;border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_6VeLpMloUs&#038;rel=1&#038;border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p><p>Debbie Lee is a great American</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/20/gold-star-mother-debbie-lee-sticks-it-to-the-berkeley-city-council/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Video: Berkeley City Council Slanders Military</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/08/video-berkeley-city-council-slanders-military/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/08/video-berkeley-city-council-slanders-military/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:03:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Military]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Anti-American]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Berkeley]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Left-Wing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Marines]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/08/video-berkeley-city-council-slanders-military/</guid> <description><![CDATA[You heard what the traitorous swine on the Berkeley City Council said about our military, now watch them say it.

She is the mother of one of our fallen patriots and she&#8217;s planning to courageously fight back against the despicable thugs at Berkeley who disgrace our military and our country with every breath they take.</p><p>The Hot Joints would like to encourage everyone to participate and support Debbie and Move America Forward in this effort. Even if your unable to appear at this event personally, then a small donation to Move America Forward would be greatly appreciated.</p><p>The bottom line is that someone has to counter the horrible and disgraceful actions of Code Pink and similar anti-American/anti-military organizations. That someone is Debbie Lee and Move America Forward.</p><p><em>-Chris Jones<br /> Managing Editor<br /> The Hot Joints</em></p><blockquote><p>To my fellow Americans:</p><p>As many of you know, I am the mother of the 1st Navy Seal who was killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.  I&#8217;ve dedicated my life to giving voice to my fallen hero, Marc Alan Lee, and all those who have served, or are currently serving, in the United States military &#8211; so that we may remain a safe and free nation.</p><p>You can&#8217;t begin to imagine how horrified and angered I was when I learned that the Berkeley City Council had passed three measures that attacked our troops, and called our military men and women, &#8220;uninvited&#8221; and &#8220;unwelcome intruders&#8221; in their own country.</p><p>For the past few years I had to hear from anti-war liberals about how terrible it was for our troops to be in Iraq or Afghanistan.</p><p>Now the anti-military radicals have convinced an American government body to say that our troops don&#8217;t belong here in America.</p><p>So I was more than committed to take action to fight back, but even I wasn&#8217;t prepared for what would happen next when I watched Code Pink anti-war protestors defacing the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in Berkeley, then barricading the entry and harassing those who attempted to enter.  What shocked and saddened me most was to see the Berkeley Police Department officers stand there and do nothing.  They said they were &#8220;trying to remain neutral.&#8221;</p><p>We cannot stand for this insanity any longer, my friends.</p><p>I have just returned from Iraq and have been with these amazing men and women and seen the progress they are making for our nation in the War on Terror.  I cannot sit back quietly after seeing the greatness of our troops and allow them to be insulted and attacked in their own nation.  They deserve so much more, and I will fight with every last breath in my body to make sure these heroes are properly honored and respected.</p><p>That is why it is time for us to take action to fight back &#8211; to fight in honor of our troops, and to stand in solidarity with them at the very location where they are being insulted and defamed.</p><p>So next Tuesday, February 12th I will stand in front of the Berkeley City Council Chambers (located at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Berkeley, CA) from 5:00 AM until the City Council meets that evening at 7:00 PM.</p><p>I will demand that the City Council rescind their three anti-military resolutions and issue a formal apology to all U.S. military service men and women in general, and the United States Marine Corps in particular.</p><p>I am asking you to stand with me on this day, as I would greatly welcome the company and the moral support.  And I would also like to show the media and the Berkeley City Council that I am not the only one who feels this way.</p><p>Last October, when Code Pink first vandalized the U.S. Marine Recruiting Center in Berkeley, Move America  Forward organized a rally where hundreds upon hundreds of people showed up with their American flags.</p><p>But the sins against our troops are much greater this time &#8211; we can never stand for an American government body to attack our troops and call on the public not to cooperate with them.</p><p>So let us have a giant turnout on this day.  If you cannot join me for this all-day vigil, then please be there at least by 5:00 PM (so you can secure a seat for the 7:00 PM City Council meeting).</p><p>All the information you need about this protest/demonstration can be found at the Move America Forward homepage: <a href="http://www.moveamericaforward.org/">http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org</a></p><p>Finally, I ask you to make a modest donation to support our efforts at Move America Forward so we can continue to spread the word about this event.  A donation of $50 or $100 will go a long way towards helping us with this effort:<br /> <a href="http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/MAF/Contribute">http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/MAF/Contribute</a></p><p>Thank you so much!</p><p>- Debbie Lee<br /> Move America Forward<br /> <a href="http://www.moveamericaforward.org/">http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org</a></p></blockquote> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2008/02/07/event-planned-to-fight-back-against-berkeley-and-code-pink/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
