The Obama Department of “Justice” – part of an administration utterly beholden to Big Left, including Big Infanticide – is trashing the Constitution…
…again. As usual:
Agents seized all video footage from his apartment, along with his personal information, David Daleiden said in a Facebook post. Daleiden, the founder of a group called the Center for Medical Progress, said agents left behind documents that he contends implicate Planned Parenthood in illegal behavior related to the handling of fetal tissue.
Center for Medical Progress spokesman Peter Robbio confirmed the social media posting is authentic, but he declined further comment. He said Daleiden lives in Orange County.
Harris said in July that she planned to review the undercover videos to see if center violated any state charity registration or reporting requirements. She said that could include whether Daleiden and a colleague impersonated representatives of a fake biomedical company or filmed the videos without Planned Parenthood’s consent.
Since when does “journalism” require the subject’s consent? (Yes, I know – some states require consent for recordings. Generally, “Journalists” get a pass on that, when reporting stories in the public interest).
This is Big Infanticide (and Big Media) calling in its markers with the Administration.
Western Civilization. It was a fun run. Adios, Representative Constitutional Republic. Welcome to the dawn of Authoritarian Bureaucracy.
Well, technically it’s the California cops, not the FBI, involved here. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the USDOJ had its fingers in there tangentially.
But that said, if they do prosecute, any good defense lawyer is going to ask what percentage of the time they actually prosecute other journalists doing the same thing. Would be fun to watch the DA squirm with that one.
Oh, yes. The government persecuting people for ‘unpermitted’ political activities. Welcome to Venezuela!
Go after Daleiden and let Shrillary commit treason. Yep, sounds about right. Add to this prosecuting XOM, Chevron and others for climate change herecy and you indeed are correct, Mitch.
The Inquistion, what a show
The Inquistion, here we go
We know you’re wishing
That we’d go away
So, c’mon you Repubs and Conservs
We got big news for all of yous
You better change your point of views today
‘Cause the Inquistion’s here and it’s here to stay
(with apologies to Mel Brooks)
“Harris, a Democrat, is running for the U.S. Senate. Daleiden suggested in the social media posting that the raid was politically motivated because Harris has accepted campaign contributions from Planned Parenthood.”
So……we raise taxes, much of which goes to Planned Parenthood. Then Planned Parenthood gives money to politicians, who in turn go after pro-life activists.

Yeah.
Who do they think they are – a public employee union?
I have long contended that conservatives generally, and WHITE Minnesota bigoted conservatives specifically, do not have a good grasp of basic biology – the stuff you should be able to pass in our wildly successful public school system which is diverse, empowering, factually correct, sexually fulfilling, completely socialism and good. They don’t do too well on other science subjects with which I am a proven, fact based expert either, like seismology or evolution, geology, archeology, encephlograms, biology, astro-physics, the Bird Man of Alcatraz, Deep Sea Diving, power tools and French Cooking. Instead, they focus on….sigh..crap Bible principles and the United States Constitution; in other words, another know-nothing-and-proud-of-it BIGOTS.
Sadly, conservatives also seek to dumb-down others by posting crap propaganda on shit blogs like this one.
So long as conservatives don’t understand basic anatomy, or reproductive biology, sex, gay sexuality, public humiliation, cross dressing, bug chasing, genital piercing, bondage, Sado-Maschism, golden showers, anal lube, Dirty Sanchez’s, latex fetishes, enema play, or proper positioning of a dominant collie for mounting the breeder, they have no legitimate business passing any kind of legislation relating to those topics. We progressives have the FACTS, and the history of the Roman Empire is on our side.
That I am correct in my contention has been widely demonstrated.
The state legislature proposed a anti-trans bathroom bill, legislation which is not only badly misinformed but ignores the 24th amendment. And it is demonstrated again with the recent scientific research cited in the Blade (h/t to my sales rep at SEX WORLD for alerting me to this story).
White male conservatives lie about abortion; my extensive fact checking proves the facts prove they try to force states to promote their nonfactual lies to women as if they were factually factual. They are not. They fail.
Ok, I’ll admit it. The middle paragraph on the above post made me laugh out loud.
…Western Civilization. It was a fun run. Adios, Representative Constitutional Republic. Welcome to the dawn of Authoritarian Bureaucracy…
And the handmaidens include Big Pharma/Bio-med/NIH/academic research community. Like Victor Davis Hanson, I still have fond memories of another California – devout immigrant Catholics – which is no longer welcome in the current unrecognizable state.
There is no such thing as big infanticide.
And once again, you get facts wrong. The seizure of material used in committing a crime was by the state authorities, not Obama, not the DOJ.
As has been noted elsewhere, there is not first amendment right to commit fraud.
These hoaxers – they are NOT legitimate documentary makers or legitimate journalists – quite properly seized, WITH A WARRANT, information which is part of crimes.
I’m certainly enjoying watching the cheaters and obsessed right wing nuts getting their just deserts for having committed fraud and for having violated the rights of others. They are criminals.
Sloppy sloppy sloppy; bad fact checking. Or is this just another case where the facts don’t fit your ideology, so you just ignore and deny them?
You also left out that Texas has indicted the fake fetal tissue parts videographers.
Or are you calling Texas ‘lefty’?
” A Houston grand jury on Monday indicted two anti-abortion activists in connection with undercover videos shot in Texas that purported to show fetal organ sales inside a Planned Parenthood clinic.
The grand jury meanwhile declined to indict anyone from Planned Parenthood, Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said in a statement. ”
Indictments were issued against David Daleiden, founder of the Center for Medical Progress and self-described “citizen journalist,” for tampering with government documents, a felony, and the purchase and sale of human organs, a misdemeanor.
A tampering indictment was also issued against Sandra Merritt, who was named in a federal lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood earlier this month. The suit, filed in San Francisco, alleges that she, Daleiden and several other “anti-abortion extremists” executed a “complex criminal enterprise” that involved “fake companies, fake identities and large-scale illegal taping” meant to “demonize” Planned Parenthood and interrupt its operations.

“These hoaxers – they are NOT legitimate documentary makers or legitimate journalists – quite properly seized, WITH A WARRANT, information which is part of crimes.”
Sorry DG but they are every bit a journalist or documentarian as Michael Moore was in Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, or any of his other works of art.
Epic fail for DG!
DogSpittle, you have no idea how grand juries in Texas work, do you? I have already taken you to task on this same subject when you decided to bring up Perry’s indictment. You truly are a moronic, deaf, blind and dumb parroting libidiot. Nothing but Poo-and-Run. Maybe you should learn while you are in Texas talking to Ft. Hood victim’s families. Get to it!
DG, yes, Houston is a liberal city that is effectively a sanctuary city, and one that has elected a lesbian mayor twice, one who pushed a transgender bathroom bill through the city council. And exactly how a fake California drivers’ license violates a Texas law against falsifying Texas government records will be entertaining when it gets to court, I think.
And there is no big infanticide? Oh, so there is no such entity as Planned Parenthood that performs about 35% of abortions each year, then?
Plus, exactly what is fraudulent about those videos? Yes, the interviewers didn’t reveal who they really were, but they also didn’t place a gun to anybody’s head to force them to say what they said. The full videos have all been released. No fraud there.
You want to make an impact, maybe….just maybe….don’t lead with things that are so easily proven wrong. Got it?
Who knows how many lives would be lost if anti-abortion activists managed to shut down Planned parenthood! Oh, wait, I meant “saved.”
There is a term for scumbags that strut around claiming military honors, rank or rate that didn’t earn them, it’s called Stolen Valor. Mitch and I know a lefty mouthpiece in Minnesota that fits the bill.
dg presents a similar problem that needs solving. What do you call someone that routinely claims expertise and knowledge they clearly do not have; someone that not only spews insane BS with a straight face, and questions the integrity of folks that call it for what it is; someone without a shred of dignity?
Yeah sure, you can call them liars but dg is no run of the mill liar. Scumbag is too generic. I think such behavior warrants a special title.
How about “Progressive”?
