"Calif. Dems Block July 4th Tribute to Vietnam Hero"

NewsMax has picked up the story covered in yesterday's post: "Calif. Dems Block July 4th Tribute to Vietnam Hero". It's based on John Campbell's report, with no new information. But, to recap:

Democrats usually turn livid over the slightest hint that their patriotism is being challenged. But the actions of California's Democrat-controlled State Assembly this week have certainly given critics a lot of ammunition...

Republican Assemblyman Jay LaSuer of San Diego had arranged for Vietnam war hero Admiral Jeremiah Denton to come to California to be a part of a 4th of July ceremony held on the Assembly floor...

According to Golden State Assembly Republican John Campbell, "the Democratic leadership refused to allow [Denton] on the Assembly floor and there will be no 4th of July celebration."

A memo from the Democratic speaker's office cited "problems . . . with regards to the spirit, content and participation of various individuals with regard to the ceremony..."

WorldNetDaily has also picked up on it: "California GOP: Democrats shunned war hero". That too is based on Campbell's article.

Human Events reprints John Campbell's article.

The Washington Times adds a bit more information:

Nick Velasquez, spokesman for Speaker of the Assembly Fabian Nunez, Los Angeles Democrat [contact info here --LW], said the issue was resolved because the governor agreed to honor Adm. Denton in his office. Mr. Velasquez also said the Assembly honored the holiday by passing a resolution Monday, but didn't have time for other ceremonies because they were in the midst of budget negotiations and other pressing business.

But Mr. Campbell notes in his memo that on the day Republicans wanted to honor Adm. Denton, the Assembly held a nearly 20-minute ceremony honoring a Los Angeles Times reporter.

Now, let's turn to the non-liberal media and see how they're covering this story.

The non-liberal L.A. Times' last mention of "Jeremiah Denton" was in CalendarLive in 1999.

OK, maybe their search isn't working. Let's try SFGate.com. Oops, nothing at all there. SacBee.com? One result: a list of undeliverable tax refunds from 2003.

I'm sure the non-liberal media would cover this story if it were important enough.

Comments

If Nunez and his Party ilk were so 'worried' about Adm Denton's "unConstitutional" ideas being presented on the Assembly floor, how come he has openly welcomed several far-leftist, even pro-jihadist LaRaza activists who openly declare themselves "hostile to even the EXISTENCE of the United States"? And who fervently advocate for the "Reconquista" of SW USA aka "Aztlan" by Mexican illegals.

Nunez and his ilk are nothing more than anti-American pro-Mexican Soviet-styled Politburo apparatchiks.

It is Nunez who should have no rights to be on the CA Assembly floor, not Adm Denton.

Typical. Democrats don't like this guy's agenda, so the so-called 'liberal media' prattles on about how Democrats in CA are unpatriotic and don't care about the 4th of July. Asinine.

Jeremiah Denton's organization is fighting for the elimination of the separation of church and state.

From their website:

The ONE NATION UNDER GOD program organizes support for abolishing the false premise that there is a constitutionally erected "wall of separation between church and state." The aim is to re-establish God
