Cooper, who is highly regarded for his journalistic integrity among the media elites and even by some on the right, including firebrand conservative Glenn Beck, is being applauded by progressives, liberals and the LGBT community for his blindside of Bondi.
I have always considered Cooper among the very best of the national mainstream media, which can no doubt be considered strongly left leaning. But I found his attack on Bondi nothing short of strongly offensive.
The LGBT community, which includes Cooper, is miffed with Bondi for her opposition of the legalization of gay marriage. Bondi was acting on behalf of the state of Florida (I am a resident of the Sunshine State) in leading the opposition, as her job having been elected dictates. As she pointed out, the majority of the residents of Florida are against the measure, as am I.
That does not in any way suggest she, or any of the other Floridians against that initiative, hate the LGBT community. We do not. We just happen to believe marriage is between a man and woman, as our Christian beliefs dictate. Certainly, the greater majority are in favor of a civil union which would allow for loved ones to have legal standing, contrary to Copper's suggestion otherwise.
Incidentally, this is a position recently held by both President Obama and Hillary Clinton until it became politically expedient to change positions, with Clinton calling it a "sacred bond" and a "bedrock principle."
At any rate, as common sense would suggest, this was not an appropriate time to address this issue with AG Bondi. Unless your manners and professionalism took a back seat to your personal agenda. They did with Cooper, and my respect for him immediately flew the coop.
Katie Hopkins had a brilliant piece over at The Daily Mail.
In a rather stunning speech Tuesday, a petulant Obama hunkered down in defense of Islam essentially blaming America for the grotesque loss of life in Orlando. Obama took a shot at Donald Trump, as did Hillary in a follow up speech.
But it is Trump who has accurately assessed the real issue, radical Islamic terrorists, and make no mistake, it is the left, led by these two anti-American elites, and their policies, that are in large measure to blame for this terrorism.
"Perhaps it is those who preach tolerance that we should be most afraid of. Democrats and liberals preach tolerance. But in doing so they have chosen to ignore the dark truths of a religion which is the most intolerant of all" noted Hopkins.
Agreed.
Cooper, and his progressive partners in the media, do not seem to have any anger whatsoever against radical Islam and the destruction that surrounds them. No, they take aim, with fervor, attacking opponents of the LGBT cause, which is dear to them.
The safety of the citizens of America, all of them, are dear to me.
If only Anderson Cooper would extend such efforts calling out those who are looking the other way as terrorists murder our citizens rather than taking this opportunity to advocate on behalf of the LGBT agenda.
Maybe he could have waited until we bury our neighbors categorized not as LGBT or Latino unless it is an agenda item for you, but as fellow Americans, before engaging AG Bondi?
Evil are these terrorists, not AG Bondi, and this was without question a terrorist attack on all of us.
When will the leftists ever learn. As Hopkins accurately notes, they may never.
