“Religion of Peace” strikes again
BY GREGOR

As reported by the Assyrian International News Agency:

According to the Assyrian website ankawa.com, a 14 year old Christian Assyrian boy, Ayad Tariq, from Baqouba, Iraq was decapitated at his work place on October 21.

Ayad Tariq was working his 12 hour shift, maintaining an electric generator, when a group of disguised Muslim insurgents walked in at the beginning of his shift shortly after 6 a.m. and asked him for his ID.
According to another employee who witnessed the events, and who hid when he saw the insurgents approach, the insurgents questioned Ayad after seeing that his ID stated "Christian", asking if he was truly a "Christian sinner." Ayad replied "yes, I am Christian but I am not a sinner." The insurgents quickly said this is a "dirty Christian sinner!" Then they proceeded to each hold one limb, shouting "Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!" while beheading the boy.

Reuters gets into the French riot 'fact manipulation' game
BY GREGOR

Yesterday I posted on the French riots and how the European media has been manipulating facts in their reporting in order to avoid offending Muslims. Reuters has now gone a step further with this report today. It’s important to note that throughout this entire article on even more bus burnings … there is nota single mention of the word “Muslim.”

Meanwhile, France continues to burn in flames while their government does absolutely nothing to stop it.

Via Reuters:

Police unions too are ringing alarm bells. They say 14 officers a day are hurt and police face an urban guerrilla war in the suburbs that ring most major French cities. Several officers have been hospitalized with injuries from beatings after apparently being lured into traps by gangs of youths in recent weeks.

There’s that “youths” reference again. But they don’t dare point out that they are for the most part – all Muslim.

Here are some disturbing numbers. These numbers are even more disturbing when you realize how the entire year's events have been almost completely IGNORED.

In the first six months of 2006, some 21,000 cars were burned and 2,882 attacks recorded against the police, fire and ambulance services.

I’ve never seen such cowardice from any government in history.

Two armed men set fire to a bus in a rundown Paris suburb on Friday, the anniversary of two deaths which triggered the worst riots to hit the French capital in nearly 40 years.

A police source said the two hooded men boarded the bus in front of a train station in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb in the early evening and ordered around 15 passengers and the driver to get off before setting it alight.

At least four buses have been attacked in poor suburbs around the capital since Sunday and police have said violence could spiral out of control once again.

"You can really feel the anger and the suffering of the people who live in Clichy-sous-Bois," said Soumeya Ata, who traveled to the suburb north of Paris from the southwestern town of Pau to attend the commemoration.

Marchers, many sporting T-shirts with the slogan "Dead for Nothing", passed the electrical substation where the two died. Their families wept as they laid flowers at its gate.

The 2005 riots were the worst since student protests in 1968 and the government has highlighted the 420 million euros ($531.6 million) it has earmarked to improve life in the suburbs.

There’s that “REWARD FOR TERRORISM” I talked about yesterday. Riot and burn the city and we’ll give you 420 million euros for your trouble, and throw in a few brand new Mosques as well.

"Things are better, less bad," government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope told France Inter radio.

Muslims begin to talk about gaining power in the U.S.; Is Sharia law in our future?
BY GREGOR

Minnesota is about to elect the United States’ first Muslim congressman. I previously posted here about Keith Ellison and the possible impact his being elected could have on this country.
Here is a follow-up article on what might be a successful campaign:

Via Reuters:

CHICAGO (Reuters) - At less than 3 percent of America's 300 million residents, Muslims are still on the fringe of political influence and power, experts say. But that may be changing.

A voter registration and get-out-the-vote drive is under way in the Muslim community before the November 7 mid-term election. And it comes at a time when their interest in politics may have been sharpened to a new edge by the expected election of the first Muslim to the U.S. Congress.

That will likely come in a heavily Democratic Minneapolis district for 43-year-old Keith Ellison, a native-born convert to Islam who would also be the first black member of Congress from Minnesota.

His candidacy "is being followed very closely in the Muslim community throughout the country," said one activist in Chicago, where more than 1,000 new Muslim-American voters have been registered in recent weeks.

"Muslim-Americans are emerging as a voice to be recognized in American society," she said.

Cainkar said experts believe there are 6 million to 8 million Muslims in America. While the total is a small percentage, they tend to live in urban pockets where concentration can lead to political punch.

Nationally about 2 million Muslims are registered voters -- including 30,000 added to the rolls in recent weeks, according to Mukit Hossain, who is heading up a voter registration drive for the Muslim American Society.

The group, which has set up voter registration booths in mosques across the country, is concentrating on 12 states. A recent poll found that 42 percent of Muslim voters were Democrats compared with 17 percent Republicans, with 28 percent having no party affiliation.

Women are simply meat and should be kept covered
BY GREGOR

So says Muslim cleric Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali.

Via the UK Daily Mail:

A Muslim cleric's claim that women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat' who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday.
Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the nation's most senior Muslim cleric, compared immodestly-dressed women who do not wear the Islamic headdress with meat that is left uncovered in the street and is then eaten by cats.

Politicians including Prime Minister John Howard, community leaders and a large number of Muslims condemned the mufti's comments amid calls that he should be deported to Egypt, his country of origin.

He has since been forced to apologize for his remarks.

In a Ramadan sermon in a Sydney mosque, Sheik al-Hilali suggested that a group of Muslim men recently jailed for many years for gang rapes were not entirely to blame.

There were women, he said, who 'sway suggestively' and wore make-up and immodest dress "and then you get a judge without mercy and gives you 65 years. But the problem, but the problem all began with who?" he said, referring to the women victims.

Addressing 500 worshippers on the topic of adultery, Sheik al-Hilali added: "If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it…whose fault is it - the cats or the uncovered meat?

"The uncovered meat is the problem."

He went on: "If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab (veil), no problem would have occurred."

Women, he said, were 'weapons' used by Satan to control men.
A close associate of the sheik, Keysar Trad, said the speech was about adultery, not rape. "He wasn't talking about standard norms of dress in Australia or any country, he wasn't talking about the hijab, he was talking about people who engage in extramarital sex."

Only one problem with that defense. Under Sharia law … a married woman who is RAPED has committed adultery and is many times put to death.

But Federal Sex Discrimination Commissioner Miss Pru Goward said there could be no backtracking over the comments. "He could be guilty of incitement to the crime of rape and should be deported," she said.

I agree, but will anyone have the spine to actually do it? I doubt it.

Will Australia stand up for Australians, or will they go the route of the French and become the next Islamic nation? I see trouble brewing down under. How long until they start seeing pictures like this on their streets?

France still cowering in fear
BY GREGOR

France has become so passive and helpless that they’ve simply surrendered to Islamic rule. France – for all intents and purposes – is now an Islamic nation.

It was just a few short years ago that European officials actually ordered the media to stop using the word “terrorist” and instead replace it with “hooligan” because Muslims felt the word “terrorist” was insulting and tended to be associated with Muslims. Go figure.

Now it would seem that even the word “hooligan” has become off-limits, having been replaced with the generic word “youths.”

I submit as evidence this latest report from Breitbart.com:

Youths forced passengers off three buses and set them on fire overnight in suburban Paris, raising tensions Thursday ahead of the first anniversary of the riots that engulfed France's rundown, heavily immigrant neighborhoods.
No injuries were reported, but worried bus drivers refused to enter some suburbs after dark, and the prime minister urged a swift, stern response.
The riots in October 2005 raged through housing projects in suburbs nationwide, springing in part from anger over entrenched discrimination against immigrants and their French-born children, many of them Muslims from former French colonies in Africa. Despite an influx of funds and promises, disenchantment still thrives in those communities.

The manipulation of the story gets even worse as they report on last year’s riots as involving “immigrants and their French-born children, many of them Muslim.”

THEY WERE ALL MUSLIM! Why is that so hard to report?!

The French are in deep trouble and they know it. The problem is that they’ve dug themselves such a hole that they might not have a way out. They are headed to a brutal situation that could very well lead to complete chaos and now the riots - which consisted only of arson last time around - have now grown into more violent situations with the attackers carrying weapons and impacting civilians.

About 10 attackers _ five of them with handguns _ stormed a bus in Montreuil east of Paris early Thursday and forced the passengers off, the RATP transport authority said. They then drove off and set the bus on fire.
Late Wednesday, three attackers forced passengers off another bus in Athis-Mons, south of Paris, and tossed a Molotov cocktail inside, police officials said. The driver managed to put out the fire. Elsewhere, between six and 10 youths herded passengers off a bus in the western suburb of Nanterre late Wednesday and set it alight.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said the events "should lead to an immediate response."

“Immediate response?” Isn’t it already too late for an “immediate” response? It’s been a full day for God’s sake! Judging from last year’s “response” … this will include the financing of brand new million dollar mosques and other free benefits for the “terrorists.” After the riots last year - in which there were no arrests after hundreds of cars were torched - the governments response was to “build more mosques.

Look for more of the same this time around as the “youths” have apparently learned the valuable lesson that terrorism pays really well.

"We cannot accept the unacceptable," he told reporters in the northern suburb of Cergy-Pontoise. "There will be arrests. ... That is our responsibility."

Yeah we’ll see. The only arrests likely will be that of French civilians attempting to protect their property. Don’t look for French officials to suddenly become emasculated and start handcuffing Muslims. Errr … “youths.”

Villepin also said efforts should be directed to "revitalize" troubled neighborhoods, and repeated the government's insistence that authorities rid France of "lawless zones" where youth gangs operate.

One last bit of story manipulation relating to last year’s riots …

The three weeks of riots were sparked by the deaths on Oct. 27, 2005, of two young boys of African descent who were electrocuted in a power substation in Clichy-sous-Bois, northeast of Paris, while hiding from police.

Yes, they were of “African descent” but they were MUSLIM and they were “hiding from police” after a night of BREAKING INTO AND STEALING CARS! But that information wouldn’t be important to the reader.

Would it?

NY Times admits banking-data surveillance is legal; They're sorry for publishing story
BY GREGOR

Via the New York Times:

My July 2 column strongly supported The Times’s decision to publish its June 23 article on a once-secret banking-data surveillance program. After pondering for several months, I have decided I was off base. There were reasons to publish the controversial article, but they were slightly outweighed by two factors to which I gave too little emphasis. While it’s a close call now, as it was then, I don’t think the article should have been published.

I haven’t found any evidence in the intervening months that the surveillance program was illegal under United States laws. Although data-protection authorities in Europe have complained that the formerly secret program violated their rules on privacy, there have been no Times reports of legal action being taken. Data-protection rules are often stricter in Europe than in America, and have been a frequent source of friction.

What kind of trouble did Keller and his newspaper cause with their lack of concern for the truth and blatant treason, aside from possibly killing Americans?

POW's Lawsuit tests John Kerry and supporters under oath
BY GREGOR

A group of Vietnam veterans have filed suit against John Kerry challenging the basis of his testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. Basically what this means is that John Kerry - along with some of his supporters - will possibly be forced to testify under oath against charges that they fabricated and distorted the factual events that took place during their military careers.

The Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation has the announcement on their website:

Thirty five years ago John Kerry slandered an entire generation of men who fought in Vietnam branding them as a "war criminals." Today, much of the same thing is being said about our young men and women in Iraq.

Now, a lawsuit filed in Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas will test the very foundation of Kerry'’s anti-war persona for the first time. It isn't dubious medals or Kerry'’s disputed service record in Vietnam that is being called into question. This time Kerry may finally be forced to answer for the events that launched his public career, one that made him an anti-war hero for many American liberals and a turncoat for millions of Vietnam veterans.

The lawsuit (Vietnam Veterans Legacy Foundation, et al. v. Kenneth Campbell, et al.) challenges the basis, the factual accuracy of then-Lt. (j.g.) Kerry's acrimonious testimony before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971. It was there Kerry's public career was catapulted with his now ubiquitous portrayal of American soldiers as murderers, rapists and torturers "who ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam . . . [and] razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan."

Kerry said then his accusations were based on the so-called "testimony" of "150 honorably discharged" Vietnam veterans who, like himself, claimed to have committed or witnessed "war crimes, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command."
Many if not all were members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), an organization led by Kerry and financed by Jane Fonda during the early 1970s. Now, a number of those "witnesses" will be required to testify, under oath for the first time ever, about what they really did and saw in Vietnam.

Only time will tell if this actually makes it to trial but we can hope. My guess is that Kerry will not allow this to become a big story and will most likely not run for President in 2008.

Update: There is one positive sign. This group does not get intimidated easily and they most likely cannot be bought off.

"Vietnam veterans will not be intimidated by the likes of John Kerry," retired Air Force Col. George "Bud" Day said today, responding to news the Massachusetts Senator had created a legal defense trust fund to pay his on-going court battles against a group of highly decorated Vietnam veterans. "No matter how much money Kerry raises he can't buy his way out or hide his disgraceful betrayal of those brave veterans who gave their all in the service of America."

Can we have this trial televised?

Did Ted Kennedy work with the Soviets to take down Ronald Reagan?
BY GREGOR

Prepare for this shocker!

Political science professor Paul Kengor says he has obtained a copy of a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War which shows that Senator Ted Kennedy and Senator John Tunney (both Democrats) actually conspired with the Soviet Union to take down then sitting President Ronald Reagan.

If this turns out to be true -- this will be the biggest story since 9/11. Not that it would actually be shocking that Ted Kennedy would do such a thing -- we all know it's exactly the type of thing the far left is doing right now -- but with mid-terms just weeks away this could seal the deal.

CNS News is reporting:

In his book, which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan's foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.

The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union's Communist Party.

In his letter, KGB head Viktor Chebrikov offered Andropov his interpretation of Kennedy's offer. Former U.S. Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov and other Soviet officials, Kengor claims in his book.

And how exactly did they plan to accomplish this? Easy! With the help of the American hating mainstream media of course! Bryan at HotAir is blogging this and has apparently got his hands on an advanced copy of the book. He relates this:

If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y. V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interview. Specifically, the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and the television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.

What else is new? I wonder if anyone's been wiretapping Kennedy's phone calls recently.

Stay tuned for more on this. I have a feeling this is will be the topic of "outrage" for the next few days.

Or not.

I keep forgetting about the liberal free pass card.

Brave Soldier Sacrifices His Life
BY STEVE

Navy SEAL, Michael A. Monsoor threw himself onto a grenade to save his friends' lives. The grenade was thrown by an "insurgent" into their sniper hideout. There are no words to truly describe or honor such a person. Calling him a hero just doesn't seem to do him justice.

Original story from the AP:

SEAL falls on grenade to save comrades

By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press WriterFri Oct 13, 3:02 PM ET
A Navy SEAL sacrificed his life to save his comrades by throwing himself on top of a grenade Iraqi insurgents tossed into their sniper hideout, fellow members of the elite force said.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor had been near the only door to the rooftop structure Sept. 29 when the grenade hit him in the chest and bounced to the floor, said four SEALs who spoke to The Associated Press this week on condition of anonymity because their work requires their identities to remain secret.

"He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was down toward it," said a 28-year-old lieutenant who sustained shrapnel wounds to both legs that day. "He undoubtedly saved mine and the other SEALs' lives, and we owe him."
Monsoor, a 25-year-old gunner, was killed in the explosion in Ramadi, west of Baghdad. He was only the second SEAL to die in Iraq since the war began.

Two SEALs next to Monsoor were injured; another who was 10 to 15 feet from the blast was unhurt. The four had been working with Iraqi soldiers providing sniper security while U.S. and Iraqi forces conducted missions in the area.
In an interview at the SEALs' West Coast headquarters in Coronado, four members of the special force remembered "Mikey" as a loyal friend and a quiet, dedicated professional.
"He was just a fun-loving guy," said a 26-year-old petty officer 2nd class who went through the grueling 29-week SEAL training with Monsoor. "Always got something funny to say, always got a little mischievous look on his face."

Other SEALS described the Garden Grove, Calif., native as a modest and humble man who drew strength from his family and his faith. His father and brother are former Marines, said a 31-year-old petty officer 2nd class.
Prior to his death, Monsoor had already demonstrated courage under fire. He has been posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions May 9 in Ramadi, when he and another SEAL pulled a team member shot in the leg to safety while bullets pinged off the ground around them.

Monsoor's funeral was held Thursday at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego. He has also been submitted for an award for his actions the day he died.
The first Navy SEAL to die in Iraq was Petty Officer 2nd Class Marc A. Lee, 28, who was killed Aug. 2 in a firefight while on patrol against insurgents in Ramadi. Navy spokesman Lt. Taylor Clark said the low number of deaths among SEALs in Iraq is a testament to their training.
Sixteen SEALs have been killed in Afghanistan. Eleven of them died in June 2005 when a helicopter was shot down near the Pakistan border while ferrying reinforcements for troops pursuing al-Qaida militants.

There are about 2,300 of the elite fighters, based in Coronado and Little Creek, Va.
The Navy is trying to boost that number by 500 — a challenge considering more than 75 percent of candidates drop out of training, notorious for "Hell Week," a five-day stint of continual drills by the ocean broken by only four hours sleep total. Monsoor made it through training on his second attempt.

Harry Reid busted; Hypocrite extraordinaire
BY GREGOR

Harry Reid – the Democratic minority leader who has repeatedly harped on the GOP leadership for creating the “culture of corruption” – may have just sealed the fate of his own party. Reid had already been listed at the top of the Jack Abramoff scandal but for the most part had received the standard “liberal free pass.” Reid held almost daily press conferences ripping Carl Rove and others for taking money in the scandal, while ignoring the fact that he himself was one of the worst offenders. But this will be harder to overlook:

Via the Associated Press:

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.

The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations. He's never been charged with wrongdoing _ except for a 1981 federal securities complaint that was settled out of court.

Here’s the best part of this story:

Reid hung up the phone when questioned about the deal during an AP interview last week.

As I continually point out … liberals are like little 9 year olds.

If the Republicans don’t hit this hard – they’re even more passive then I suspected. This is a perfect opportunity to nail one of the Democratic leaders and advertise the liberals for the hypocrites that they are. Will he step down? Will other Democrats ask him to step down?

Every time any liberal breaths a single word about Hastert … there ought to be an immediate Republican press conference pointing out the hypocrisy.

Step down Harry! Or take your party down with you.

Pacifist drill sergeants? Wasn't Bush supposed to make the military tougher?
BY GREGOR

Via the Associated Press:

Hollywood may have to tone down its portrayal of the military's screaming, in-your-face boot camp drill sergeant. In today's Army, shouting is out and a calmer approach to molding young minds is in, says the head of Pentagon personnel. The Army says it has reduced by nearly 7 percent the number of recruits who wash out in the first six to 12 months of military life.

Let's correct something here. The idea behind having screaming radical drill sergeants was not to "get people through boot camp." It was to weed out the recruits that were weak, to prevent them from being KILLED IN COMBAT!

But trainers found today's generation responded better to instructors who took "a more counseling" type role, Jones said, using strong tactics when needed but keeping them the exception instead of the rule.

The approach has had two positive results, he said: It has lowered attrition among those who go through training each year and has eased one of the greatest fears of recruits - their fear over whether they can make it through basic training.

So today's military leaders feel the greatest fear of recruits is - "their fear over whether they can make it through basic training?" Errr ... I beg to differ. The greatest fear of recruits in today's military is ... fear of being KILLED IN COMBAT!

The entire design of military preparation used to be to actually prepare our troops to be tougher than the enemy. The job of the military drill sergeant was to prepare young fighters for brutal, bloody, merciless combat against bloodthirsty enemies.

Apparently, now their job is to make sure they don't hurt anyone's feelings.

I'm sorry, but this is just so unbelievable I don't even know where to go with it. For those who have served ... I know you understand. For those who have not ... let me try to make sense of it. Do you have any idea how un-likely it is that an 18 year old kid who has to be coddled to get through boot camp will survive when suddenly caught in an ambush of Islamic insurgents, all the while knowing any slip-up could mean having his/her head cut off by a butcher knife? If that 18 year old recruit would curl up in a ball and start crying simply because a drill sergeant is yelling in his/her face ... how is it possible the same kid will suddenly transform into a warrior in the face of death?

THIS is the reason we have Lt. Ehren Watada. This is why over 5500 soldiers deserted in the first three years of the war, many fleeing to Canada. This is why we had Spc. Lynndie England acting like a 16 year old FREAK!

These incidents are directly related to the fact we're sending kids into battle who are not trained properly by the people who are responsible for preparing them for war.

The pacification of the conservative party is all but complete. I know this was going on back when Clinton was in office, but that was expected. What's surprising is that it's apparently being continued throughout the Bush administration during a time of war.

David S. Chu, undersecretary for personnel and readiness, says ...

"However much it may be satisfying from the shouter's perspective, it really isn't the best way to shape young people for the future."

That may be true ... if you were preparing them for a future in REAL ESTATE!

Racist Croatia fans form swastika during soccer game
BY GREGOR


As reported at the UK Sun:

CROATIA could be kicked out of Euro 2008 if fans abuse England’s black players tomorrow.

Soccer chiefs fear trouble after 200 of their supporters formed a human swastika at a friendly in Italy.

UEFA’s William Gaillard warned: “We won’t tolerate racism. We have had many problems with this in Eastern Europe before and Croatia have been among the worst offenders.

“But we are determined this will not happen again and will send out a strong message to stop any incidents during the game against England.

“FIFA have recently introduced new rules which can, in extreme cases, lead to a team being docked points or even being excluded from the competition.

I'm happy to see someone has a spine. I wonder if the ACLU would be defending these losers if it were in the U.S.

North Korea goes nuclear?
BY GREGOR

All the major news outlets are reporting. No need for me to go into detail here. I'll just play link master. For info, go here, here, and maybe ... here.

So ... what would Kerry, Murtha, Pelosi, Gore, and Monique Dols do?

Monique Dols? Sorry. Just had to throw in the arrogant and obnoxious socialist American hater who helped organize the latest attack on the Minutemen.

How long until the first liberal accusation that it's Bush's fault?

Mail for convicted terrorists left unread
BY STEVE

According to a justice department review, not all of the mail sent to convicted terrorists in prison is being screened by authorities as required by law. Doesn't that make you feel safe? According to the review at least 10 federal prisons are not compliant with regard to screening mail.

Knowing that our prisons have become a breeding ground for Islamists, how do we know that orders aren't being passed down by leaders on the outside for any new converts willing to wage Jihad against the government which imprisoned them once they are set free? Very, very disturbing.

More love mail from the Jew hating MySpace members
BY GREGOR

One of our readers forwarded me a lovely email she received today. This from a MySpace user who simply didn't like the fact that she was Jewish.

But there's much more to this than simple Jew hating. There's been a lot of talk lately of evidence that terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah are aligning themselves with street gangs in the U.S. THIS guy happens to have the fact that he's a member of the Bloods advertised all over his site. Could this be a sign of things to come? The Bloods now hate Israel? Why? Do they even pay attention to the news? Do they even know where Israel is?

Check out this loser's profile. MySpace user 78899112:

And here are some of his friends. See if you can pick out a common theme.

So once again, you have to wonder what goes on in the corporate offices of MySpace. You have to wonder why they continue to delete accounts of those who point this type of behavior out, while ignoring profiles such as this. They don't allow nude photos, but they allow Hezbollah, Hamas, the Bloods, and the Crips to post propaganda encouraging MURDER! Creepy.

One final thought. Do any of these wastes of human flesh have parents? Where are they?

Editor's note:

Elizabeth White; Associated Press liberal hack?
BY GREGOR

What media bias? It doesn't matter how obvious the evidence might be; the media will deny to the death that there's anything to the charges of liberal media bias. Even when pointing out that liberal journalists outnumber conservatives by a 25-1 ratio, that point will usually draw a quick shrug and an angry denial.

So I find this article early this morning only a day after the Senate voted to approve the 700 miles of border fence. The headline of the article?

"Farms facing worker shortage for harvest."

Oh brother. You've got to be kidding me! This so called non-biased journalist doesn't even make much of an attempt to hide her agenda. You tell me? Was Elizabeth for or against the border fence?

As her Associated Press article reports:

J. Allen Carnes needed 200 workers for the onion harvest this year on 500 acres of South Texas fields. The onion business is big in the area, and with only two months to harvest, there's little room for delay.

But Carnes ended up with less than 100 workers and fell two weeks behind, with bits and pieces of the fields unpicked. His income fell about $150,000, a significant loss.

Growers say tightened border security and longer lines for day crossers have cut the numbers of farm workers who cross the border legally or illegally. Illegal immigrant workers who used to travel the country picking different crops as the seasons changed are hesitant to migrate for fear of being caught. And the lure of higher paid jobs with better working conditions, such as construction, are keeping some farm workers away.

Hey, but see? If you caught that last line ... things are looking up for the poor illegals. They are moving up to the construction jobs!

This could not be so ridiculously obvious and simply be a one time occurrence and an innocent coincidence of timing, so I plopped this woman's name into a search. Wasn't too surprising.

First to pop up was her hit piece on the the judicial system, seemly believing we need to stop punishing criminals. She writes:

The racial makeup of inmates changed little in recent years, Beck said. In the 25 to 29 age group, an estimated 11.9 percent of black men were in prison or jails, compared with 3.9 percent of Hispanic males and 1.7 percent of white males.

Marc Mauer, executive director of The Sentencing Project, which supports alternatives to prison, said incarceration rates for blacks were troubling.
"It's not a sign of a healthy community when we've come to use incarceration at such rates," he said.

Pathetic! How about an article about the alarming CRIME rate, instead of suggesting they are VICTIMS?

Next on the list is a wonderful non-biased piece about a group of protesters who were arrested by Capital Police for purposely blocking the entrance to the congressional office building. What's telling about THIS article is that although the story is about the arrest, in the middle of the article, she actually puts the following paragraph in BOLD TYPE:

"These are political choices being made that are hurting low-income people," said Jim Wallis, the event's organizer and founder of the Christian ministry group Sojourners. "Don't make them the brunt of your deficit reduction and fiscal responsibility."

Since when do Associated Press articles have single paragraphs emphasized in bold? How did the Associated Press editor not catch this? Oh I forgot! The Associated Press editor is also a liberal HACK!

She then adds this, once again in BOLD:

Wallis refused to consider the vigil a partisan affair, saying the religious and political spectrum was widely represented. "The media seems to think only abortion and gay marriage are religious issues," Wallis said. "Poverty is a moral issue, it's a faith issue, it's a religious issue."

Guilty conscience?

But as if that's not enough, yet another agenda driven article:

Telecommunications giant Qwest refused to provide the government with access to telephone records of its 15 million customers after deciding the request violated privacy law, a lawyer for a former company executive said Friday. For a second day, the former National Security Agency director defended the spy agency's activities.

As I'm finishing this story I'm sure Elizabeth is up late, working on her take of the Mark Foley emails. Anyone care to guess if shell be phrasing her story toward accusing Republicans of burying the incident? Does anyone think it will matter to her that they notified the authorities at the time, or that the kid's parents said they did not want them to push it? Naw! To powerful of an opportunity to pass up. Look for it in this morning's papers.
