Please don't just attack Judge Jeanine Pirro.
ADDENDUM FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED IN A SHOE BOX: Jeanine Ferris Pirro is a former prosecutor, judge, and elected official from the state of New York.
In 1978, Pirro became an assistant district attorney in Westchester County.
In 1989, she became a judge on the Westchester County Court, the first female to hold such a position.
In 1993, Pirro was elected district attorney of Westchester County, again the first female to hold that position. She was re-elected in 1997 and 2001, Prosecuting murder, rape, domestic violence, and other cases.
As to the title of this post, liberals like to cast aspersions on a person without first finding out what the post is about. Thus, the "requirement." Unless you watch the video, your comments have "0" credibility.

Jo Joe - You pull this crap all the time. "You must only comment on the content" as though the context of the person presenting the content has absolutely no bearing whatsoever.
As if "Judge" Jeanine Pirro on Fox News or Bill Whittle on the Pajama Network are on the same credibility level as Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow.
I'm not playing that game.
Those people are idiots and their opinions are meaningless and without any basis in actual facts.
Just because one person says something doesn't mean it carries equal weight to another person commenting on the same subject.
I'm willing to concede that Henry Kissinger's opinions on China or the Nixon White House may carry more weight than anything I have to say on those subjects.
If all I have to weigh the context of an opinion is that a "judge" I've never heard of from the Fox "News" Network said something on a program I don't watch, or...worse yet...some IDIOT like Bill Whittle on the Pajama Network makes a home video spewing racist hatred...yeah, I'm going to take the source of the video into consideration.
I know you're going to delete this.
So I'll just repost this entire conversation on my blog, and on Facebook and Twitter with links back to this post.
Don't you just love the internet?!?!
Liberals don't learn from their mistakes because they never admit making any.
Tonto's Catcher [ Is it your contention that unlike Liberals, Conservatives are constantly reexamining their positions and self-correcting when they find themselves to be in error?
Because that's a crock of crap and you know it.
Conservatives haven't changed any position on any subject since Barry Goldwater gave his first speech.
Conservatives pride themselves on never, ever changing no matter how wrong they are.
XO: "You pull this crap all the time. 'You must only comment on the content'"
My blog, my rules. You don't have to play. Take your ball and go home if you want to.
Those people are not idiots. They are brighter than you are and smarter than most of the liberals I have ever heard.
If you've never heard of Jeanine Pirro, you've been living in a shoe box.
LR: They lack the gene to learn.
XO: "[ Is it your contention that unlike Liberals, Conservatives are constantly reexamining their positions and self-correcting when they find themselves to be in error? Because that's a crock of crap and you know it."
The crock of crap is your fake conclusion about what Conservatives do.
I agree with Judge Pirro, Journal News publishing the addresses of gun owners was stupid and potentially dangerous. She makes an obvious point before her opining devolves into predictable talking points.
Fast and furious, check. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, she blames Holder (who I'm no fan of) for it. I'm a little disappointed she couldn't shoe horn Benghazi into her screed. On to Hollywood and their HYPOCRISY. I'll admit, I wouldn't form an opinion based on Jennifer Gardner's anymore than I would Ted Nugent's but I don't think Jen is any less qualified than Ted to have one. At least Jen didn't crap her pants to get out of serving her country.
I noticed that the films she highlighted starred registered Republicans, Sly and Ahnold. The only exception was "Django". I haven't seen it but I understand it paid homage to Spaghetti Westerns. The genre that made Clint Eastwood famous. I'll never forget the scene in "Fistful of dollars" where he shot up the empty chair.
Besides refined oil, our biggest export is entertainment. All over the world, they see the same movies and play the same video games yet have a teeny, tiny fraction of the gun deaths (or murder by any means) than we do. If movies and video games are the constant, what's the variable? Oh yeah, guns.
Judge Pirro isn't fooled by any rational conclusions. Guns don't kill people, movies do.
XO: "'Judge' Jeanine Pirro on Fox News or Bill Whittle on the Pajama Network are on the same credibility level as Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow.
Well, you're certainly right about that. Walter Cronkite's credibility is scum at the bottom of the tank ever since his coverage of DR. MLK n St. Augustine.
ERM never had any credibility to begin with, except in the eyes of media progressives. He was the essence of bias and slanted opinion.
XO: FYI - Jeanine Ferris Pirro (born June 2, 1951) is a former prosecutor, judge, and elected official from the state of New York.
In 1978, Pirro became an assistant district attorney in Westchester County.
In 1989, she became a judge on the Westchester County Court, the first female to hold such a position.

All the above more qualified than the community organizer.
We export movies . Maybe China has a point by censoring them and unarming its citizens.
I think we should be just like them
Craig: "She makes an obvious point before her opining devolves into predictable talking points."
You are usually articulate, if wrong. This comment is way beneath your ability to discuss a topic rationally.
What, Joe? You're calling me inarticulate and irrational based on one sentence? Can you comment on the content of of my reply or haven't you bothered to read it.
I watched the entire video and commented on it. You could extend me the same courtesy. I have a very impressive resume and my opinions deserve the utmost respect.
Craig: "I have a very impressive resume and my opinions deserve the utmost respect."
WOW! I AM impressed!
"I noticed that the films she highlighted starred registered Republicans..."
Maybe this would be a better list:

What I would like to know, Joe, is why you think "liberals" supported the publication of the permit list.
I found it counter productive and divisive. But XO has a point. A consistent tactic of the right is to state what the left "believes" without any substantiation and imagining the supposed "left" is monolithic.
You were careful to post the short bio of Piro. Not much experience in Constitutional law so I am quite certain we can say her opinion on the 2nd amendment is not unassailable.
Ducky: "...I am quite certain we can say her opinion on the 2nd amendment is not unassailable."
Nor is yours.
That clip isn't very convincing, Joe.
Actors take on a variety of roles and can't be fairly judged on the basis of one or two roles.
Julianne Moore, for instance, is undeniably liberal and did take a lead role in "Hannibal". However, it would be very inaccurate to describe the body of her work as violent unless you see something different in "Vanya on 42nd St." or "The Kids Are All Right".
Ducky: "That clip isn't very convincing, Joe."
Luckily, I didn't need convincing.
Jo Joe - So Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite, 2 of the towering journalists of the 20th century are "scum at the bottom of the tank" who "never had any credibility" and were "the essence of bias and slanted opinion."
But Fox News meat puppets like your "Judge" Jeanine and shameless, self promoting media whores like the Pajama Network's Bill Whittle have more credibility in your eyes than the CBS News pioneers who invented modern journalism.
That tells everyone everything they need to know about your journalistic "standards".
You don't need convincing Joe but you need something else.
XO: "...the CBS News pioneers who invented modern journalism."
Uhhh...that's not exactly something to brag about.
Pretending to be objective while pushing a left wing agenda is different from Fox, which says it is balanced and then proves it with hosts from both sides.
Name me a real conservative host in MSM.
The left always picks on the most successful people i.e. FOX news,Rush Limbaugh.
Jo Joe - So is it your contention that Edward R. Murrow was wrong to call out the drunken, lying, self-promoting Republican Congressman Joseph McCarthy for falsely accusing innocent Americans of being Communist spies?
Murrow was absolutely, 100% correct and he put an end to a despicable period of American history.
Was it wrong of Walter Cronkite to correctly point say that
"For it seems now more certain than ever, that the bloody experience of Vietnam is to end in a stalemate.
To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past.
To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, if unsatisfactory conclusion.
On the off chance that military and political analysts are right, in the next few months we must test the enemy's intentions, in case this is indeed his last big gasp before negotiations.
But it is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out then will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."
Cronkite was absolutely, 100% correct. But it took the American government another 4 years to reach the same conclusion.
Your "Judge" Jeanine is no Murrow and Whittle is no Cronkite.
Shallow, inconsequential wannabes. And that's being generous.
XO: Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Murrow was fried with CBS for allowing views to be aired that were different from his own.
Cronkite was a raging liberal who, in interviews, disdained ideas that did not jibe with his.
They were both legends in the minds of liberal/progressives and MSM has perpetuated their myths.
Jo Joe - "Murrow was fried with CBS for allowing views to be aired that were different from his own.

OMG, you are INSANE!
Tell me, All Powerful Arbiter of Journalistic Integrity, is there any journalist in the last 100 years to whom you would grant your imprimatur of impartiality?
Enlighten us with your wisdom. Who may we trust to present current and historical events without spin or prejudice?
I cannot WAIT to here this!
Get ready for a lecture on Glenn Beck, XO.
XO: "I cannot WAIT to here this!"
I think you meant "hear." For you are already here. Well, you're not here in person, but you are here in commentson. You probably can't hear me, even here, 'cause we aren't using Skype. We're not on the phone, either.
Well, anyway, it's interesting to have you here and to hear from you.
BTW: Neither Murrow nor Cronkite were journalists. They were glorified reporters. Other people did their "journalism" for them, they just read it. Murrow did more of his own than Cronkite.
You should come out from under the protection of your imagination and false education and take off the rose colored glasses.
Your "journalistic" heroes had major league credibility flaws.
I have some respect for Chuck Todd.
Ducky: I don't listen to or watch Glenn Beck, therefore I will not be able to formulate a lecture based on him.
Sorry to disappoint
Jo Joe - Hear Here! Well played sir.
But Murrow and Cronkite weren't journalists??? You are just straight up wrong.
jour·nal·ism /ˈjərnlˌizəm/
Noun
1: The activity or profession of writing for newspapers or magazines or of broadcasting news on radio or television.
2: The product of such activity.
Edward R. Murrow was onsite, under fire, in danger, reporting on the Blitzkrieg on London during WWII. His opening tag line during the Battle of Britain was "This is London,". He was there!
He was the founding father of CBS News and mentored future reporters such as Eric Severeid, Charles Collingwood and Howard K. Smith.
Cronkite was embedded with the USAAF flying and reporting on B-17 combat missions in North Africa, Europe and Germany. He covered the Battle of the Bulge and the Nuremberg Trials.
Both of these men adhered to the highest standards of objective journalism and honest reporting throughout their lives and careers.
In STARK CONTRAST, what your Fox News and Pajama Network heroes engage in cannot, by any definition of the words, be called reporting or journalism as there are no actual facts being conveyed.
xo"...profession of writing for newspapers or magazines or of broadcasting news on radio or television."
Yeah. That's what journalists are supposed to do. But both Murrow and Cronkite had writers. As I said, the writers did most (not all) of their scripting.
And Murrow did more of his own than Cronkite. And they both did "war time."
"...objective journalism and honest reporting ..."? Not even close. His "reporting" was always from a rank liberal point of view...very, very biased.
I was personally involved in a situation where I witnessed Cronkite's reporting to be dishonest and totally without objectivity. And I'm not the only one.
It's OK. You can live in your fantasy. Count them as your heroes if you want to. I would expect no better.
