I previously posted about the latest rash of scandalous photos coming out of Afghanistan showing U.S. military atrocities under Obama’s command, and wondering if the media would pick up on it the way they did when it was Bush’s army… Well, here’s a twist I wasn’t expecting: yes, one of the U.S. media, Rolling Stone, [...]
Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
COVER-UP? Obama: “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death”

There is something very fishy going on.
Obama had a call with several rabbis yesterday, during which he said, “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death”—at least according to some of the rabbis involved, one of whom (Rabbi Jack Moline) has posted that exact quote on his Twitter feed, among other quotes related to the phone call.
This obviously caught the attention of some political bloggers, notably Ben Smith of Politico.com, who blogged about it yesterday shortly after the quote came out. This, in turn, caught the attention of quite a number of people who commented on that blog entry, and many more who viewed it without commenting.
Apparently, though, it must have also caught the attention of some people (in powerful positions?) who didn’t like what they were seeing, because this is what you see now when you try to see those same tweets:
So, are we all to believe that his lack of “tech literacy” resulted in this inexplicable “huge mistake” in which most of his tweets, including—coincidentally—the one most damning to Obama were lost, while sparing—another great coincidence—the warm and fuzzy “shanah tovah”?
Perhaps a more rational explanation that any intelligent brain would choose to believe instead would be that he was forced to delete those posts for political reasons. That’s where I’m putting my bet.
