Audio: Mark Steyn Mocks Black Eyed Peas Super Bowl Political Punditry
Mark Steyn on yesterday’s Rush Limbaugh Show – note the photo of SteynI was running through the blogs and this piece caught my eye.
If you were paying attention during the Super Bowl halftime show last night, you would have heard the Black Eyed Peas deviate from their lyrics to send a political message: “Obama, let’s get these kids educated, create jobs so the country stays stimulated.”
That message struck a nerve with Mark Steyn, the fill-in host for Rush Limbaugh on Monday. Steyn expressed his disapproval by mocking the Black Eyed Peas for inserting that not-so-subtle message.

Steyn expressed his disapproval by mocking the Black Eyed Peas for inserting that not-so-subtle message.
“The Black Eyed Peas were there last night and they amended their song to insert the words, ‘Obama,’ to insert a little bit of a political message, a searing political insight you get from the Black Eyed Peas, ‘Obama let’s get these kids educated to create jobs so the country stays stimulated.’ I’m Mr. Squaresville, so I don’t know what the Black Eyed Peas – how that tune normally goes. I think that’s their song, ‘Where is the Love.’”
Why?
The photo of Mark Steyn on the YouTube audio above is one I snapped about five years ago. Here is the piece, I wrote in October 2006: Mark Steyn Watch: America Alone – A FLAP Surprise.
After all of these years Mark Steyn has not slowed down – one bit.
Enjoy the audio/YouTube.

Day By Day by Chris Muir November 23, 2008 – Rock Em Sock Em Politics Tonight Only!
Who might the fall guy be?Why, President Bush, of course, and all of the RINO’s are running around blaming social conservatives for the loss on election day to Barack Obama and the Democrats.
Mark Steyn and Karl Rove have the RIGHT analysis.

Barack Obama Watch: Protest Too Much Part Two
Michael Ramirez on Barack Obama and the Appeasement Flap
Mark Steyn dissects Barack Obama’s outrage over his appeasement foreign policy and Democrat minion protests that he means NO such nonsense.
It says something for Democrat touchiness that the minute a guy makes a generalized observation about folks who appease terrorists and dictators the Dems assume: Hey, they’re talking about me. Actually, he wasn’t – or, to be more precise, he wasn’t talking only about you.
Should Obama be elected President, America will revert to a pre-Reagan world.
President Reagan talked with the Soviets while pushing ahead with the deployment of Cruise and Pershing missiles in Europe. He spoke softly – after getting himself a bigger stick. Sen. Obama is proposing to reward a man who pledges to wipe Israel off the map with a presidential photo-op to which he will bring not even a twig. No wonder he’s so twitchy about it.
Twitchy indeed. Can America in this dangerous world trust the Presidency and the mantle of the free world to an inexperienced Carterish figure who expresses outrage over criticism and calls it disrespect.
Obama thinks America just doesn’t understand.

And to think those fools in the United States Senate are continuing to negotiate the flawed Senate Immigration bill.
Will the GOP block it this week?

Mark Steyn Watch: The Steyn T-Shirt for Christmas
Give the Mark Steyn T-Shirt for Christmas (Via Hugh Hewitt).
Viva Steyn! Wear the T-shirt that shows you’re a true intellectual revolutionary – the Mark Steyn Che Guevara-style T-shirt. Created especially for the Western Standard by Rob Kelly (the same artist who drew the famous Libranos poster). Viva Steyn is not only an expression of your good fashion sense, it’s a sign of your good political sense, too.
America Alone would be a good gift as well.
Look for Flap’s photo of Steyn on the back flap.

Mark Steyn Watch: The Last Youth Standing

Western Standard: The Last Youth Standing or the Free Republic
Read it all
What the West and Islam share are elites detached from their own demographic realitiesSo many of our present woes are due to thinking we know things. In the case of Palestine, however, it requires an almost absurd suspension of disbelief. When Condi Rice speaks of an “educated population” with a “culture of civil society,” I’m sure we’ve all met Palestinians like that, in Montreal and Los Angeles and London–everywhere except Palestine. In Gaza, as I note in my book, the median age of the population is 15.8 years. Count back 15.8 years and you come to early 1991. In other words, a huge swathe of the population have spent their entire life in the depraved death cult of the post-Oslo Arafatist-Hamas squat. Not much of a “culture of civil society” there. Not much evidence that many of them “just want a better life.” Au contraire, given the choice between “a better life” and blowing up Jews, quite a big chunk of the teenage and twentysomething males in Gaza would regard the latter as a lot more fun.
How could a smart woman like Dr. Rice be so misled on this point? No doubt she’s seen all those Palestinian spokespersons–Saeb Erekat, Hanan Ashrawi–who’ve filled up the CNN and BBC airwaves decade in, decade out. No doubt she’s met many soft-spoken “Palestinian intellectuals”–the territories’ principal export, one might easily believe, given from the number who’ve turned up in CBC interview chairs over the years. But they don’t speak for their people.
A few months after 9/11, I visited the Muslim slums of France. They’re ugly dehumanizing places, and obviously I would rather have been hosting Steyn One on One with Jacques Chirac at the Elysée Palace. But in the last four-and-a-half years those alienated anonymous “youths” (as the papers refer to them) have been a central fact of French life–whether lobbing Molotov cocktails into police stations or torching buses and leaving passengers with third-degree burns. That’s the reality. And everything Chirac and de Villepin and even Sarkozy have proposed has been a delusion: like Condi Rice, they thought that they knew. But the rioting youths knew better.
The future will be determined by those youths in the European suburbs, by legions of teenagers in Gaza, by the angry platoons of the Pakistani madrassahs.
And in each case, General Musharraf, Mahmoud Abbas, Jacques Chirac and even Tony Blair will do their best to stay on the right side. The problem is not a lack of leadership, but the leadership’s lack of followers.
Indeed.
And when Western Europe wakes up in a decade they will discover that they have been overrun by the Islamic demographic hordes. But, is there hope – witness the recent Dutch elections?
Doubtful
Europe is a done deal. Eurabia will soon be the reality.
America will have to deal with these Jihadist youths alone.

Mark Steyn Watch: Canada’s Indigo Books NOT Boycotting “America Alone”
National Post: Indigo is not ‘boycotting’ Steyn
Re: Steyn’s Book Can’t Be Found In Canada, Nov. 3.
Charges that Indigo is “boycotting” Mark Steyn’s book, America Alone, are ludicrous. Mr. Steyn’s book was for sale at Indigo’s channels in September of this year and it promptly sold out. Indeed we should have purchased more initially but the moment we realized the error, we immediately placed a reorder for several thousand more books. As of this moment, we, as well as most other book retailers in Canada, are still awaiting new copies from the publisher, which we are told will arrive in mid-November.
It is regrettable that Mr. Steyn doesn’t acknowledge that he wrote his Maclean’s piece even though his Canadian sales representative had fully informed him of his book’s reorder status with Indigo. We find it also curious that he chose to unfairly attack Indigo, while most other book retailers in the country are also sold out.
While one has to admire Mr. Steyn’s self-promoting efforts, there is a fine line between publicity and defamation. To make an accusation of “boycott” is a serious allegation and one should not be able to make it just to create buzz and sell more books.
Sorya Ingrid Gaulin, vice-president, public relations, Indigo Books & Music Inc., Toronto.
Well, that is good to hear. The new printing of Steyn’s book will have Flap’s photo credit on the back flap.
The reader can purchase the book here.
And lookie lookie Steyn’s book is doing well on Canada’s Amazon list. The list is here.
