Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's ANNOUNCEMENTS representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, ENDORSEMENTS among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population.

  • In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform
    December 20, 2012 In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Amy Mitchell, Acting Director, Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism Mark Jurkowitz, Associate Director, Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (202) 419-3650 1615 L St, N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.journalism.org In Social Media and Opinion Pages, Newtown Sparks Calls for Gun Reform Overview The shooting rampage in a Connecticut elementary school last week triggered a conversation different from those that followed other recent U.S. gun tragedies. In addition to an outpouring of emotion, social media and the opinion pages of newspapers were used immediately to tackle the polarizing issue of the nation’s gun laws, according to a special report by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism. On both blogs and Twitter, the gun policy discussion accounted for almost 30% of the social media conversation examined by PEJ, exceeding even prayers and expressions of sympathy in the three days following the December 14 massacre that left 26 dead at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. And, within that discussion, calls for stricter gun control measures exceeded defenses of current gun laws and policies by more than two to one. This social media response is far Calls for Gun Law Reform Dominate Social Media different than what occurred Percentage of Assertions following the January 8, 2011 Twitter Blogs shooting outside a Tucson Arizona mall that killed six and 64% badly wounded Congresswomen 46 Gabrielle Giffords.

  • Quotes About the Speech
    Quotes about the Speech When his campaign was in peril because of his ties to Rev. Wright, Barack Obama made that remarkable speech about race and his own journey, and his relationship with Wright in Philadelphia. That held his campaign together; a very key moment. ~George Stephanopoulos, ABC News [The] best speech ever given on race in this country. This is the kind of speech I think first graders should see, people in the last year of college should see before they go out in the world. This should be, to me, an American tract. ~Chris Matthews, MSNBC Obama challenged Americans to confront the country’s racial divide…an extraordinary speech. ~Charles Gibson, ABC News Quietly, but clearly with great passion, he walked the listener through a remarkable exploration of race from both sides of the color divide, both sides of himself. ~ Campbell Brown, CNN [T]the best speech and most important speech on race that we have heard as a nation since Martin Luther King's ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. ~Michelle Bernard, MSNBC Barack Obama didn't simply touch the touchiest subject in America, he grabbed it and turned it over and examined it from several different angles and made it personal. Just steps from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, he rang the bell hard and well. ~Jonathan Alter, Newsweek In a speech whose frankness about race many historians said could be likened only to speeches by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, Senator Barack Obama, speaking across the street from where the Constitution was written, traced the country’s race problem back to not simply the country’s ‘original sin of slavery’ but the protections for it embedded in the Constitution.

  • Chris Matthews: Ready to Play Hardball in PA May 2, 2008 by Dr
    Chris Matthews: Ready to Play Hardball in PA May 2, 2008 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young Now no longer the center ring for the traveling Democratic presidential nomination circus, Pennsylvania’s inventive political community has discovered a new favorite political parlor game to while away the brisk springtime evenings: will Chris Matthews, the irrepressible host of MSNBC’s Hardball, step down from his pundits perch to run for the US Senate against Arlen Specter in 2010? To a remarkable degree, speculation abounds over this possibility in the Keystone State. The indications that Matthews will run are abundant. His MSNBC contract runs out next summer, and both he and the network show signs they might be ready for a break from each other. In addition, journalists are reporting that Matthews has been seeking advice privately from key Democrats across the state about his chances against Specter. Reportedly these contacts have included discussion with Governor Rendell concerning campaign resources. Publicly Matthews has done little to disguise his interest in the race. Asked if he was running on a recent Colbert cable show, Matthews said this: "Did you ever want to be something your whole life…? When you grow up, some kids want to be a fireman. I want to be a Senator….There’s a difference between being a celebrity and working for the people. And it’s a greater thing to work for the people than being on television." If Matthews does run he will not be a stranger either to Pennsylvania or to politics. Born and raised in Philadelphia, he ran and lost a quixotic bid for Congress in 1974.
