Narces Benoit Video of Police Shooting That Killed Raymond Herisse and Injured 7 Others.
Man who recorded a police shooting hides the memory card in his mouth as the police hold a gun to his head and smash his smart phone and intimidate him and his girlfriend into silence about the incident.
< Images of last week's fatal police shooting in Miami Beach have been released.
Here you see footage recorded on a cell phone by Narces Benoit.
The police are surrounding a car driven by Raymond Herisse. Then they started firing at the 22-year-old.
Herisse was killed, three officers and four bystanders were injured.
Benoit and his girlfriend, Ericka Davis, are accusing authorities of destroying evidence and intimidation.
They say the only reason this video is still around because they were able to hide a memory card before authorities smashed the phone that captured this incident.
They have hired a lawyer, saying they "want the right thing to be done." >
Rick Santorum disowns campaign slogan when told a gay liberal poet came up with it.
Because he is not a very good politician, Rick Santorum was tripped up when a student asked him if he knew that the choice of his campaign slogan, "Fighting to make America America again," was borrowed from the "pro-union poem by the black gay poet Langston Hughes":
Said Santorum: "No I had nothing to do with that. I didn't know that. And the folks who worked on that slogan for me didn't inform me that it came from that, if it in fact came from that."
When asked a short time later what the campaign slogan meant to him, Santorum said, "well, I'm not too sure that's my campaign slogan, I think it's on a web site."
Santorum hasn't selected a new slogan yet but I vote for "Rick Santorum: Never mind."

Representative Tony Cornish’s Email To Gay Rights Supporters.
This is fucked up.
Representative Tony Cornish has been responding to people from Minnesota with this message. The Minnesota Post’s Tumblr is saying there are multiple reports of this happening.

Osama Photoshop Image? UPDATE: Hell, yeah.
I may be ConspiracyBee here, but does this photo look very badly Photoshopped to anyone else?
The pixelation is all wrong and the skin tones are off. Yet, major media is portraying this as the evidence released by the Pakistan Government of Osama Bin Laden's death.
I call bullshit.
There is also another floating around:
Which is yet another photoshop job of a movie still:
The United States government has confirmed, for now, that there will be no photos of Osama bin Laden released to the public. There is a campaign that has been started to encourage release of these photos, but this is not exactly an attempt to get Betty White on SNL. I highly doubt public outcry will be enough to prompt action.
There are videos and pictures of the Osama compound if people are interested, though: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/osama-bin-laden-dead-inside-pakistan-kill-site-13507839

UPDATE:
Indeed. As you have all heard by now, this is nothing more than a photoshop layered over his most prominent photo:There is also another floating around:

Obama's Birth Certificate: The New Trump Chronicles.
Trump is on the case, y'all. No worries.

What am *I* missing?
In the 2008 presidential election, one of the men who made it through the primaries to vie for the highest office in the land was not born in the United States.
That man's name is John Sidney McCain. The Republican senator was born in the Canal Zone in Panama. It's not even in dispute; he wrote about it in his autobiography, Faith of My Fathers.
Unlike McCain, who never released his birth certificate to the media at large or to fact-checking organizations, the Obama campaign posted his on the Internet. They even had people outside the campaign look over it and take pictures.
None of that seems to matter to Donald Trump, the real estate mogul who's become yet another Republican hopeful to question the president's citizenship. Or to the base that he's pandering to.
Whether it's Glenn Beck equating Obama with Adolph Hitler or the tea party movement protesting the federal government's "tyranny," the language used on the conservatives' side is not the language of disagreement. It's the language of rebellion, of fighting against what they believe to be "unconstitutional" (and therefore illegal) government.
In a nutshell, the most vocal part of the American conservative base believes that if you disagree with them, then you don't deserve to participate in our government. And if you dare to vote anyway? Then it's time for "Second Amendment remedies," from conservatives who are "armed and dangerous."
Lest you think it's a joke, right-wing paramilitary groups openly boast of their plans to overthrow the government, should it become too progressive for them. And conservative bullies often bring guns to peaceful political rallies, then accuse their opponents of being "afraid of an armed American population." One which threatens to use its ammo boxes to get its way, if the ballot box fails its agenda.
The largest percentages of Americans who don't believe that Obama's a citizen, by far, are found in the South. Perhaps the children of secession and segregation know something that the rest of America does not; perhaps they alone have considered the evidence dispassionately, and are lonely voices of reason in these troubled times.
Or maybe there's another, more obvious reason. And maybe their solution, if they don't get their way, will be the same as it was last time.
This issue was laid to rest by numerous accredited fact checking organizations in 2008.
That's right.
2008.
<< In June, the Obama campaign released a digitally scanned image of his birth certificate to quell speculative charges that he might not be a natural-born citizen. But the image prompted more blog-based skepticism about the document's authenticity. And recently, author Jerome Corsi, whose book attacks Obama, said in a TV interview that the birth certificate the campaign has is "fake."
We beg to differ. FactCheck.org staffers have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate. We conclude that it meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship. Claims that the document lacks a raised seal or a signature are false. We have posted high-resolution photographs of the document as "supporting documents" to this article. Our conclusion: Obama was born in the U.S.A. just as he has always said. >>
