In fact, the Gorelick memo merely clarified long-unwritten restrictions on the sharing of information between the FBI's intelligence arm and the Justice Department's criminal division, and had no impact on communications between the FBI and the CIA, Department of Defense, or any other agencies. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809250017 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:14:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160021 Since the release of an Obama campaign ad asserting that Sen. John McCain "admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an email," several Fox News figures and talk-radio hosts have claimed that McCain doesn't use a computer or email because of injuries he sustained during his service in the Vietnam War. But the McCain campaign itself did not make this claim in response to the ad, reportedly responding that "John McCain travels with a laptop." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160021 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:05:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809120016 San Francisco radio host Brian Sussman suggested that "[Sen. Barack] Obama believes" the September 11 attacks were "an inside job." In fact, Obama has repeatedly noted that Osama bin Laden and other members of Al Qaeda were responsible for the September 11 attacks and are still at large. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809120016 Fri, 12 Sep 2008 16:43:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100030 On <em>The Lee Rodgers Show</em>, a caller suggested that Sen. Barack Obama's remark that "you can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig" was directed at Gov. Sarah Palin and said: "[I]t's a little indicative of a Muslim attitude towards women that's creeping up, you know, and he just can't help but say it, how he feels." Brian Sussman responded: "Well, there's no question that Muslims, at least the religious ones, look at women as second-class citizens. ... I don't know if it was his father's genetic DNA welling up inside of him or not, but I'll tell you something: It was stupid." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100030 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 18:19:48 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100028 Conservative talk radio hosts have recently seized on comments Sen. Barack Obama made on ABC's <em>This Week</em> in order to suggest that the comments prove Obama is really a Muslim, not a Christian. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100028 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:04:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807310004 While guest-hosting <em>The Lee Rodgers Show</em>, Brian Sussman said: "If Barack Obama were on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence for a jury of his peers to pronounce him guilty? I doubt it. I think Obama would walk." Sussman had previously said of Obama's speech in Berlin, "I could have sworn he was running for Antichrist." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807310004 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:16:32 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200807290004 KSFO's Brian Sussman said of Sen. Barack Obama's Berlin speech: "As I was watching that speech, I could have sworn he was running for Antichrist." Sussman later added, "He's giving this speech in Europe -- he's talking about us being citizens of the world. I got news for you, dude. I'm not a citizen of the world. I live on this planet, but I'm a citizen of the United States of America." However, in his speech, Obama characterized himself as "a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." http://mediamatters.org/items/200807290004 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 15:46:21 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806180009 Discussing gay marriage, San Francisco radio host Brian Sussman said to guest Charlie Self: "On your website -- it's interesting you're addressing this very topic, Dr. Self, and you talk about how gay and lesbian radicals actively recruit through our schools and the media in order to swell their ranks. Talk to us about that for a moment." Self asserted that there has been "a rash of [TV] programs in the last 10 years" that are "normalizing this particular chosen lifestyle." Self added, "The only way that you are going to grow the ranks of this kind of movement is this kind of onslaught because it is simply not part of the nature of things as designed or as evolved or as historically recorded for thousands of years." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806180009 Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:14:02 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070007 Wed, 7 Mar 2007 15:48:35 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200612070006 http://mediamatters.org/items/200612070006 Thu, 7 Dec 2006 17:18:53 EST
