Media Matters Responds To Fistgate VII: “Shame On Kevin Jennings And GLSEN”
by Andrew Marcus
Sorry, that headline comes from an alternate universe where Media Matters isn’t a political hack tank devoted to defending Progressive Democrats at all costs.
It only took 6 hours for them to begin glossing over an audio interview Jim Hoft conducted with a retired teacher who had the misfortune of attending one of the GLSEN events associated with Fistgate.
The teacher, who wants to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, offers her opinion about the event, and Obama “safe schools czar” Kevin Jennings’ awareness of the overtly sexualized curriculum.
MT: This whole conference was his dream and his mindset. This was his vision from the very beginning.
GP: So there was no way that they would have had material there that he would not have, would you say approved of?
MT: Obviously, this is material that he abvocates. Even today if you read the text of some of the books that they put out.
GP: That was up on my blog, by the way.
MT: He knew about that too. He knows about everything all along. Remember, the buck stops with him. He was the head of all of this.
GP: OK.
MT: He brought in all of the people that would agree with him as any administrator would do. You bring in people who agree with you who you can work with.

Below is how Media Matters reacts to the damning material [emphasis added in bold]
Note to any Progressive Democrats appearing on any media outlet or writing any blog, your talking points are as follows:
Hoft’s new Jennings claim is a dud
December 14, 2009 11:05 am ET by Matt GertzGateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is again attempting to link Department of Education official Kevin Jennings to a workshop for high school students which included explicit discussions of sex that took place at a 2000 GLSEN/Boston conference. Hoft’s new “Explosive” claim is that a Massachusetts teacher who “wanted to remain anonymous out of safety considerations for herself and her family” claims “that there is ‘no way’ that Obama’s Safe School Czar did not know about the pornographic and sexually explicit material that was presented and discussed at the conference.” Of course, neither Hoft nor the anonymous teacher provide any actual evidence that Jennings knew the specific explicit content that would be discussed at that workshop; when he was made aware after the fact, he reportedly criticized it.
Media Matters seems to be treating Jim Hoft as though he is a district attorney, burdened by a legal standard of evidence for admission in a court of law, when in fact Jim is simply doing a job that many in traditional media are too squeamish to do. He’s reporting. Different standard.
Sure, an actual attendee may have given her eye witness impression of her first hand experience at a GLSEN event, but that doesn’t mean anything. Nothing to see or hear, here!
Refresher course…GLSEN was founded by President Obama’s “Safe School’s Czar”. Below is one example (among dozens) of what GLSEN and Media Matters are defending as acceptable recommended reading for kids (NSFW):

I sit down on the hard ground and cry a little. I fish my aged cock out of my jeans as though I can mark the scene with pleasure so later I can find it and reread it for understanding. Once imagined, it is my responsibility to jack off in front of it all. The air feels funny on my cock, which usually squirms like a larva in the darkness; it’s more sensitive than I am to the prickle of a slight breeze. There is nothing to arouse me except myself. My tract looks so boring, its emptiness so lacks potential, that I can almost believe in reality, since here is appearance spreading out at my feet. It only takes a minute. My crotch rings like an alarm clock, some pump mechanism kicks in, and after short flights my sperm falls on the gray dirt. I feel edgy and shallow, emptied out by the day ahead, and twinges of residual pleasure make me twitch.

Media Matters and Soros enable child molestation, porn and pedophilia. Of course they would deny it.
I checked out the Media Matters web site and was completely disgusted by the comments there..those depraved excuses for human beings are just as bad as Jennings! They see no problem with discussing intimate details of sexual activities with children!! Doesn't that qualify them as pedophiles???? They all belong in jail!
Dear Lord, make this stop! This guy has to go…..
Gertz could be in the room with Jennings as he makes the presentation and the sock puppet would not recognize the damage done.
Be agood boy Gertz, do what your daddy tells you.
Stay after 'em Jim!
These people are no longer human—they are preditory animals, given over to every base animal instinct and perversion! They better stay in their own enclaves for safety because the rest of America knows what needs to be done when you run across a rabid animal, you put it out of its misery.
they have little to lose by doubling down i suppose …
/i mean, it's not like they had any creditability beforehand
President Obama needs to answer for this. It is his Department of Education. He needs to stand up and let the American people know what the logic he is using to for recommending these books to the youth in America. Education is a responsibility as President he has.
So it is time he stands before congress of both houses and let the American people know what the transformation in education he is proposing. This issue is as important as health care if not more so.
Mr President address the American people regarding your transformation of our Educational system NOW.
The real tragedy is that we have a federal czar for safe schools.
I'm sorry . Even though I was an RN prior retirement , & , was exposed to a lot of depravity , I can no longer read about "Fistgate." It makes me physically sick to my stomach . I have a brother who is a GI doctor , who on more than one occasion, removed gerbils from alternate lifestyle guys intestinal tracs . Whether Jew , Christian, etc., Is this how our God would want us to live ?
None of this CRAP will stop until We The People stand up and demand justice against child rapists (or any rapists), molesters, porn purveyors and their ilk.
The cultural attitude of looking the other way and providing minimal punishment for the horrendous crimes against children has allowed these perverted, twisted humans to become more bold in their demands and intentions.
The only remedy for these acts is SWIFT, VIOLENT retribution against the participants.
Once WE change the culture away from allowing these perverts to prey on our children, their adherents will sink into the holes where they originated.
This is not about putting this "back in the closet" since crimes can occur in the closet. This is about ensuring the guys/gals in the closet FEAR to come out and cause harm to our most precious gifts.
Once the FEAR is restored then they can learn to deal with their perversions as they wish; and if they want to visit the destruction of their bodies and souls on other "consenting" ADULTS then you won't hear me arguing against their choice. After all, in the US we are FREE to be as STUPID as we want.
I say we email this article to Moochelle ( white house resident) and ask her to read the articles to her daughters. She should also tell her daughters that their father is responsible for this perversity.
If there was any doubt in anyones mind that the media is completely devoid of moral value except when it serves their political ends, then there shouldn't be any now. Those Fist-gate deniers are dangerous people who should not be allowed to have anything to do with children. It's times like these that I'm thankful that I am no longer in public school.
"That's a decision that is above my pay grade."
"I assure you, I will not jump to any hasty conclusions. I will try to have a decision ready by April, 2010."
"This is not the Kevin Jennings that I know."
Where is PETA on that?
Sooooo… the picture of the scum bag holding the materials ISN'T proof according to Media Matters? Funny how a little light shed on liberal insanity causes a chain reaction that spreads from leftist tyranical legislation to all parts of the leftist's network?
You forget parents "acted stupidily" when they wanted to protect their children.
I try to get worked up about it, I knew this stuff was happening before BG came along and confirmed it. At the end of the day I can only shake my head, people have been trying to point this out and they just get shouted down.
This whole thing, the stuff with Jennings/GLSEN et al, it's not even about gay stuff at the end of the day, it's about sexualizing children. It's like when a pedophile begins the portion of their crime where they condition their victim, before they ever do anything the conditioning occurs, the cultivation of a pliable victim. This is the exact same thing on a national and organized scale and it's not only gay/lesbian related it ties into an entire cultural/leftist push to condition and sexualize children, and to normalize deviant behavior, and it's being carried out to a level of success so profound that speaking out against it is tantamount to a crime itself.
You know you just can't write this stuff, what really goes on is always way farther out there than anything a nutty author could pen in a book.
There are 5 Cells opening up at Gitmo…………….We can stick G Soros in one along with a Kevin Jennings and a Kevin Jennings How to Manual.
My take. All these revelations ( typically, only on BigGovernment) need to be packaged into national media ads for 2010 elections. When the public at large ( who, lets face it, are not on this site) get a real look at what this Administration and it enablers in Congress are all about (from the mouths of their appointees, cronies etc. such as Bob Creamer) there will be an awakening and groundswell. Breitbart has the right idea dribbling out more ACORN (like dog crap on the Administrations shoe – the smell just will not go away) videos before the election. So, keep some powder dry and open season is coming…..

Jim Hoft has done AMAZING work with this Fistgate series. Poor guy–he's probably at home washing his brain out with soap after all this nastiness.
These days parents are "acting stupidly" by even sending their kids to public schools.
And then what? You're gonna have to face it—It's Over!
That makes two posts that didn't show up. What's going on here?
Let's try posting this… Jennings didn't know what was going on?… Yeah, right! Just like ACORN never knowingly helps pimps and drug dealers.
I feel like I need concentrated brain bleach, and I'm just the humble reader. I can't imagine what it must be like for the reporter/researcher.
It is amazing to me that we have given over the power to these immoral people. This will go one of two ways, either the moral folks of this nation will take back our nation to its basic principles, or we will be given over completely to their reprobate minds. Even if a person does not believe in the Bible as truth, you can see in this scripture that we are living this moment in time rings true. So here I go being totally anti PC and quoting scripture…
Romans 1:27-28 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper…
This is where we are at folks! Either we take our country back or we go down with them…
Media Matters is a total joke. They sensor their comment section and don't allow guest commenters. They KNOW they would get bombarded with people calling them out on their lies. What a joke!
Why are my posts not showing up? I just said something to the effect of ACORN's culpability in aiding street crime is similar to GLSEN's aid to pedophiles and ephebophiles.
I guess they're censoring my use of the word pimp because that would be the most offensive word I typed.
Their comment section is moderated too. They are little puss&*s over there. Let them squander in their lies. We are better off leaving those confused individuals in their little bubble of lies.
Sanmon, Obama should answer to this, but this is nothing new for Obama. He stood behind teaching the same things in Illinois as a state senator… read this: http://enewsbulletin.tumblr.com/post/279060812/a-...
The "boiling the frog" philosophy was implemented years ago in the media and in our educational systems. It should not be a surprise to anyone that the current situation exists.
We used to call it the "dumbing down of america" and accepted that it is OK to punish/ridicule parents for addressing their children's misbehavior because we feared that they would call child protective services (the government).
In my view it is time to atone for our past failings and accept the fact that if we do not take our country back, we will not have a country worth taking back.
You know Spin magazine, that harmless magazine doing rock music reviews that parents let their teenagers read? Several years ago I picked one up at the barber shop while waiting… And was exposed to a "field report" about a sexual subculture involving cutting, scarring, blood drinking, sex clubs with private back rooms ("for $xx they provide clean sheets"), which also marked the first time I ever heard about "dental dams." This lead to academic research online to see just how far down this can go.
The stuff complained about in these articles, isn't half of it. Not even close. Yes, there is a downward spiral. Between hepatitis, AIDS, and the drug use that often accompanies it, I don't see how half of these "willing participants" are going to make it to 40, let alone 50.
You don't know. You don't want to know. You certainly do not want impressionable kids who only realize it "feels good" to know any of this "alternate lifestyle" stuff, and especially do not want them wondering what else they can do that's "pushing the boundaries" even a little bit.
GLSEN and Jennings, by promoting even this "mild" material, are more depraved than you can possibly imagine, for they know where it can go. They need to be destroyed. Now.
With his vast knowledge and support of the teaching of the subject, then let him stand and speak to the American people on the issue and take too the podium in the Hall of Congress.
Oh dear no, please don't do that to yourself, expose your self to that vitriol.
Leave that to the professionals here at BG.
They're just choir preachers.
Modern liberals read that crap over at Media Matters, and it vindicates their own twisted ideology.
Kind of ironic if you ask me, we've gone full circle, back to 'it must be true, I read it on the web.'
"I"
"Me"
"Mine"
repeat as often as necessary.
My daughter's school already has a czar. And he's called Jesus.
Parochial school.
I like the nick name, but of course my dog is smarter than libs.
Speaking as a former solid lefty, I can tell you, when it comes to modern liberals, the golden rule is never, ever, take issue with a fellow modern liberal. They simply pretend what ever is there, is not there, and move on.
That's how pro-life Catholics and pro-abortion feminists can sit down together and play nice. They simply pretend it's not there.
I believe Media Matters………..Jennings had absolutely NO idea what would be presented, in the workshop he set up.
Jennings also has NO idea what he has set in motion to–keep our schools safe! (or from what or for what)
oBarma has absolutely NO idea who Jennings is or what he does, fact of the matter is, he isn't exactly sure who Rahm Emanuael is either.
The circle of ignorance is almost complete.
The Media keeps looking at their butts searching for the hole in the ground.

"Mr President address the American people regarding your transformation of our Educational system NOW."

Yes come ahead BO, lie to us some more!
kadaka
I am with you! Most especially the last part!
Talk is cheap but it won't rid us of this scourge.
Exactly. Eventually individual leftists realize that they can't keep on denying reality forever and then they experience something like a mid-life crisis.
"No animals were harmed during the making of this fetish pr0n video."
That and not using any fur or leather should keep them satisfied.
Maybe those that had the Salem witch trials had the wrong people but the right idea. Maybe it's getting close to bonfire time.
Earlier today I read the "MediaMatters" hit piece on Hoft. In the comment thread, I posted a satirical piece in response to one of their liberal posters. I simply suggested that by putting actual names and faces of school children, such as First Daughters – Sasha & Malia, instead of the generic "school children" into Jennings' curriculum for "First Time Fisters" and "Swallowing, Not as Distasteful as it Sounds", President Obama would go a long way, you know, lead by example, in convincing We The People of the necessity for such "feel-good" diversity programs.
Never in a thousand years would I ever want to expose the First Daughters (or any children) to the type of filth that Jennings has been championing for three decades. That was the point of my post.
Apparently, the good people at Media Matters don't get satire, as I just received a message that I have been PERMANENTLY BANNED from posting on their site again.
Oh well…
If you had used Sarah Palin's daughters you probably would have been OK.
They're probably stroking themselves while they discuss.
Were do these czars come from behind Chicago dumpster?
yes we do thank you for that scripture
what happened to children's inocents?

They sure can't take what they dish up for others!

I think what they will experience will be more like a full scale melt down.
Everybody, especially parents or would be parents, needs to read this..

No…God does not want us to live this way….but your assuming that these people care…They have killed God within their own heart and mind and wish everyone else to suffer with them….They are driven by there own guilt and shame and can only find happiness in depravity…and only find joy in corrupting the innocent …the only cure is Time…
if jennings isn't fired he just might hit a lead end in his professional life
[...] “Safe School Czar” in front of the kiddies. What could go wrong? He’s got the Media Matters seal of approval, after all. Posted in Commies, Corruption, Deesgusting, Obamessiah. [...]
Maybe the rest of us should post similarly, and strait forwardly, that the POTUS would NEVER subject his baby girls to such filth. And I know it would be no different if Obama had sons either. But, Obama and friends go along with this filth because it's an Alinsky tactic to subvert and destroy all that is traditional and what they view as 'status quo'. Obama is a hypocrite in many ways, but particularly with his own children. He rightly decided to send them to private school, but is fine with polluting the minds of our children.
