Palm Beach Post writer Jose Lambiet is an idiot

He is. For him to write the following crap, and for the Palm Beach Post to allow the publication of such crap is totally insane. Really, the guy should be referred to a mental health professional.

From the Palm Beach Post with a hat tip to Malkin, with my emphasis in bold.

The name of Michael Lemole, the University of Arizona neurosurgeon who’s been treating U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ brain injuries since the Jan. 8 shooting, may sound familiar to Palm Beachers.

That’s because Lemole’s mom and pop, heart surgeon Gerald Lemole and his wife, Emily, live in a $7.1 million house on The Island. They also own a more modest $3.5 million house, also in Palm Beach.

And while Michael is saving the life of the moderate Democratic congresswoman, Gerald and Emily are more into the far, far Right — including Tea Party goofball Christine O’Donnell!

According to campaign filings, Lemole’s parents have showered with thousands in contributions — $15,700 in 2010 alone — Tea Party candidates vying for national offices.

Ironically: Among their favorites are some of the very people whose controversial rhetoric and campaigns are said to provide a fertile ground for the likes of Jared Loughner, who allegedly injured Giffords and killed six others in Tucson.

He must have missed President Obama’s speech in Tuscon last week.

    Has the politics of envy morphed into the politics of outright stupidity?  Or is this just SOP for Democrats?

     

    And isn't it amazing that the killer, Loughner, gets the privilege of the use of the term "alleged", while the people on the right get no such consideration, just condemnation?

    Steve, you nailed it about the publishing. Anybody with a pen or a computer can write whatever they want but someone in authority has to approve the publishing. Insane is the correct word.

     If anything happens to the people or property mentioned in the column, the Palm Beach Post should be shuttered and its' editors and the writer arrested.

    Dims,

    Major Hasan is also still the "alleged" Fort Hood shooter. I honestly believe they don't know what the word means. Why can't they use "Yet to be tried", or "unconvicted", or "awaiting trial"?

    No labels! But God help you if you've dedicated 25+ years of study to saving lives, and your parents just don't toe the Communist Party Line! Don't expect open-mindedness, tolerance and liberalism!

    This is exactly what I would expect from the print media. Exactly what does the price of Lemole's parent's homes have to do with anything, or their political views? Did any "reporter" care that Blumenthal was wealthy? No, it didn't fit the image of a regular guy. But, we heard daily about Linda's wealth. There is no such thing as a reporter who reports facts, just stringers who cobble together vitriolic garbage, envy and gossip.

    And THE COURANT, if the shoe fits wear it!

    Apparently, researching, discovering and publicizing the details of the political contributions of his perceived ideological adversaries has caused Mr. Lambiet to publicly bring to bear the type of destructive (he stated it as "controversial") rhetoric that he claims provided a "fertile ground for the likes of Jared Loughner." Exactly for whom is he trying to lay his own fertile ground, and for what purpose? Shall we ascribe the same sinister motivations to his public writings? Riddle me this, Mr. Lambiet.

    GEE…CAN WE SAY HYPOCRITE?!?

    Maybe we all should thank God that "mom and pop" have been successful and had the financial ability to educate a bright young man who, in turn, has the skills to save these lives and give the quality of life back to the families of those that suffered.

     

    Mr. Lambiet, you are a reprehensible excuse for a  journalist AND a jealous, petulant, human being!



  9. NH-Jim on January 22, 2011 at 4:34 am

    Oh, and by the way, Loughner is a 9-11 Truther; shouldn't Michael Moore be at blame?

    Steve, that wasn't a speech Obama gave…he was speaking at a memorial service. Ha. As if.

    Lambiet is like any other lefty media type.  Jealous and envious of those with greater talent & the ability to capitalize on it, he will probably continue to be a crap "journalist" spouting populism.  And with Obama care, idiots like this should be thrilled that there are even any doctors out there practicing anymore.  What an absolute tool.
