A CNN segment about a federal judge's
ruling on National Security Agency surveillance turned into an all-out battle that led to the victorious attorney in the case actually getting kicked off the air.
Larry Klayman, a longtime Washington attorney frequently referred to as a "gadfly," had from the start accused CNN anchor Don Lemon of being in the tank for President Barack Obama.
Before having him on, CNN aired a report about Klayman that highlighted a lawsuit he filed last year that Obama shouldn't be president because no one has confirmed he's a "natural-born citizen," and featured footage of Klayman at a rally saying "we are now ruled, quote unquote, by a president who bows down to Allah."
A former George W. Bush staffer in the report referred to Klayman as a "professional litigant" who "pretends that he's fighting for the little guy when he's really fighting for himself and his own, in my opinion, delusions of grandeur."
When Klayman finally came onscreen, he started by addressing Lemon: "I think it's important to note that you're a big supporter of Obama, you have favored him in every respect, you have to do a hit piece to diminish a very important decision - "
"Are you talking about me personally?" Lemon asked. "None of that is true, but go on."
"Well, it is true, Don. I've watched you for many years. You're an ultra-leftist and you're a big supporter of Obama," Klayman said. "Let's talk about the NSA, let's not talk about Larry Klayman. This victory is for the American people. It wasn't for me. And you, as somebody from the left ... should appreciate that you don't have a police state in this country that's going to be able to intimidate Americans to chill their free speech rights ... rather than talking about that you've got to try to take out somebody that has challenged President Obama."
Lemon said he was "not here to get into an argument" and that "nothing you have said about me has been correct." When Klayman kept interrupting, Lemon threatened to cut his microphone.
Comment: The inhumane workaholic culture to which many people fall prey in our world today is a creation of psychopathic greed: more slaves to them equals more money, so that they continue to have the power and the control. For us, it equals to stress, unhealthy habits to cope with an already unhealthy system, that can deteriorate us on all levels and lead to our untimely death.
Mita's request was very simple, very humane. To just sit with another and share their lives. But who listened? It's natural for psychopaths to be and act as they are; What is so tragic is that they are able to mold us through life-long conditioning into their "image"!
