The guy is a left wing hack and racial demagogue of the highest order. But what CNN is doing to him is beyond outrageous. This is a cause not only for manufactured outrage but actual outrage. It&#8217;s disgusting how PC and ridiculous this country is becoming.</p><p>The backstory:</p><p>During the Super Bowl Roland Martin made a serious of off handed jokes <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/tv/breaking-roland-martin-suspended-by-cnn-for-offensive-super-bowl-tweets/" target="_blank">on Twitter</a>:</p><p><a href="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/martin_tweets_2.6.121.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-206202" title="martin_tweets_2.6.121" src="http://www.thehotjoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/martin_tweets_2.6.121.jpg" alt="martin tweets 2.6.121 CNN Caves To Gay Pressure, Suspends Roland Martin For Tweets" width="480" height="276" /></a></p><p>Those tweets caused an uproar from gay attack dogs GLAAD, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/post/cnns-crisis-management-strategy-no-comment/2012/02/07/gIQAEvt7wQ_blog.html" target="_blank">left wing Pinko journalists</a>, and other <a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/02/cnn-still-no-comment-on-roland-martin-113794.html" target="_blank">lefty hacks</a>. If you can believe it, GLAAD says those tweets encouraged violence towards gay people and CNN should fire Roland Martin. So after several days of manufactured outrage CNN finally caved into the pressure and has suspended Roland Martin. Unbelievable. CNN has less backbone than the Komen Foundation.</p><p>(H/T <a href="http://bigjournalism.com/jjmnolte/2012/02/08/breaking-cnn-suspends-roland-martin-wapo-politico-joined-glaads-censorship-crusade/" target="_blank">Big Journalism</a> via <a href="http://conurls.com/" target="_blank">Conurls</a>)</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2012/02/08/cnn-caves-to-gay-pressure-suspends-roland-martin-for-tweets/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>MSNBC&#8217;s Rachel Maddow Says Gingrich Accused Obama Of &#8216;Minstrelsy&#8221;</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2012/02/02/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-says-gingrich-accused-obama-of-minstrelsy/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2012/02/02/msnbcs-rachel-maddow-says-gingrich-accused-obama-of-minstrelsy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 02 Feb 2012 10:30:07 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Liberals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[election 2012]]></category> <category><![CDATA[liberal media]]></category> <category><![CDATA[minstrel]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Newt Gingrich]]></category> <category><![CDATA[phony racism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rachel maddow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Racism]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/?p=202715</guid> <description><![CDATA[I actually look forward to hearing this stuff now.

Sadly, it&#8217;s very believable that they could be <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-1122-occupy-la-move-20111122,0,1592348.story" target="_blank">this dumb</a>.</p><blockquote><p>Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.</p><p>The details of the proposal were revealed Monday during the demonstration&#8217;s nightly general assembly meeting by Jim Lafferty, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild who has been advocating on behalf of the protest since it began seven weeks ago.</p><p>Lafferty said city officials have offered protesters a $1-a-year lease on a 10,000-square-foot office space near City Hall. He said officials also promised land elsewhere for protesters who wish to farm, as well as additional housing for the contingent of homeless people who joined the camp.</p></blockquote><p>Wow, that&#8217;s a pretty good deal. It must be nice to be such a wealthy state that you can afford to give away that much office space for a $1. I wonder what kind of crops those protesters &#8220;who wish to farm&#8221; plan to grow? I suspect it&#8217;s something you can smoke that isn&#8217;t tobacco.</p><p>Free housing for the homeless? What took them so long? Why didn&#8217;t they give that housing away earlier? If every homeless person in America hitchhikes to California to claim their free house we could put an end to homelessness.</p><p>If I were #OccupyLA I&#8217;d tell the mayor to go fly a kite. They need to hold out for a better offer. If the city is willing to give office space and farm land who knows what else they might offer. The city should seize the assets of one of two Hollywood fat cats and and throw that into the pot as well. The mayor needs to get Matt Damon and George Clooney to kick in a couple of houses and a few cars.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/11/22/city-of-los-angeles-offers-occupyla-office-space-and-farm-land/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Michael Moore Compares UC Pepper Spray Incident To Tiananmen Square</title><link>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/11/22/michael-moore-compares-uc-pepper-spray-incident-to-tiananmen-square/</link> <comments>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/11/22/michael-moore-compares-uc-pepper-spray-incident-to-tiananmen-square/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2011 09:00:41 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Chris Jones</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Liberals]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Video]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Celebrities]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Michael Moore]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.thehotjoints.com/?p=167234</guid> <description><![CDATA[You really have to laugh at what a clown this guy is.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>You really have to laugh at what a clown this guy is.</p><p><iframe src="http://videos.mediaite.com/embed/player/?content=LJ7TPY360QH19RH9&amp;content_type=content_item&amp;layout=&amp;playlist_cid=&amp;media_type=video&amp;widget_type_cid=svp&amp;read_more=1" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="420" height="421"></iframe></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.thehotjoints.com/2011/11/22/michael-moore-compares-uc-pepper-spray-incident-to-tiananmen-square/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <!-- google_ad_section_end --></channel> </rss>
