Michelle Malkin Attacks Chris Rock: If You Think Obama Is Your Dad, Boyfriend, God, You Need Therapy
2/7/13 - On Thursday, conservative columnist Michelle Malkin joined the hosts of Fox & Friends to weigh in on the appeal made by celebrities at a press conference on Wednesday for stricter gun laws. Among the celebrities who spoke was comedian Chris Rock. He said that President Barack Obama and the first lady are "the mom and the dad of the country" and they should be listened to as parental figures. Malkin thought that this kind of sentiment, among others by prominent liberals who have confused the president for a family member, is a sign Rock needs "group therapy." "That was a bizarre little appearance," Malkin said of Rock's appeal for new gun laws. "It looked like a hostage video to me." "Maybe it's dawning on him in some sector of his brain that this is not good for his career?" Makin asked. "I don't know a dad who wears mom jeans," Malkin added, taking a dig at the president's fashion sense. "More importantly, we have Chris Rock treating Obama as his father. Sandra Fluke treating Obama as her boyfriend, and Jamie Foxx who said during the campaign that Obama was our 'lord and savior.' These people need group therapy," Malkin concluded. At the end of the interview, Steve Doocy read a quote from actor Bruce Willis who recently spoke out in support of the Second Amendment. Malkin said she was glad to hear some "common sense" from a Hollywood actor.
Judge Napolitano on Obama's Drone Strike Policy: 'This Is the Power Claimed by Kings and Tyrants'
Judge Andrew Napolitano, saying on Fox Business Network earlier today that the Justice Department has "resisted in every forum" attempts to gain access to the legal opinions that the drone policy is based on. He said the government has persuaded judges that releasing the information could threaten national security. "Suddenly it shows up in an NBC newsroom earlier this week! It could only have come from a governmental source. So they really have made fools of the federal judges who've spent hours and days and weeks struggling over the laws involved here," said Napolitano, who called the document itself "breathtaking and chilling" because of the power it grants the government. "It says 'any informed high-level U.S. government official can strip an American of his or her constitutional protections and order the killing of that American if the person is overseas, if it's difficult to arrest that person," said Napolitano, explaining that the memo does not clearly define what "imminent danger" to the United States means. "This is the power claimed by kings and tyrants. This is about as un-American a power as one could imagine," he said.
