At YouTube, the video of David Zucker’s hilarious (and completely inoffensive, except to the ideologically obsessed) advertisement has been marked as “inappropriate content.”

But the fictional assassination of George W. Bush? No problem: YouTube - Death of a President.

Not so. Currently it _isn't_ being run like Google. "Inappropriate Content" ratings are generated by YouTube members. The devotion of the nutsroots to internet jihad makes the most prolific Freeper or LGF poster look like a piker. Therea re thousands of Lefty netizens that really and truly live to do things like ban such videos. And sadly, and scarily, they think they are doing GZood Deeds by doing so.

PooTube is hosting vast amounts of copyrighted content, e.g. music videos, TV footage, etc. The rumor is that the content owners have held off on suing them until they were purchased by someone with deep pockets. It will be interesting to see what happens now.

And judging from their "thanks for making us rich" video, the PooTube founders are annoying billionaire dorks (see also: Mark Cuban).

According to the Flag Video box you can flag a video for the following reasons:

Pornography
Mature Content
Illegal Acts
Graphic Violence
Racially or Ethniclly Offensive

So which one did the GOP ad violate? I am guessing 'Racially or Ethnically Offensive' but I think that's thin.

I tried flgging the Bush 'assisination' as Graphic Violence. I don't really think it qualifies (it's fiction) but it's closer then anything they could get the other one on.

Islam opens an illegal school in Milan .

The elementary and middle high school, which will reportedly follow both the Italian and Egyptian curricula, opened on Monday though it had yet to gain the proper certification from both local and national authorities. ...local mosques and countries of provenance of the immigrants significantly help fund the institution.


Hussein El Belashouni, a 40-year-old Egyptian who has lived for the past 20 years in Milan, says he wants his children to learn about their family's culture.

"It is important for us to know that our children will maintain ties with our country of origin," said the entrepreneur, who claims all his children speak perfect Italian and are perfectly integrated. "We like to think that when they grow up they can decide to attend university in Egypt."

Oh! Now I see what's up with McCain, according to Mark Levin...

...We conservatives need to be honest with ourselves. If the House, the most conservative of the elected bodies, is not conservative enough, then the Republican Senate and the Bush presidency are worse. Yet I don’t hear much clamoring for sweeping the Senate clean or much criticism of the president from our corner. And the most effective politician at obstructing many conservative polices initiated by the House and the president is John McCain. But McCain is said to be among the top candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. Somehow he escapes the wrath of those who are frustrated with Republicans. As I write, he is busy traveling the country raising money, securing endorsements, and campaigning for, well, Republicans.

These wannabe jihaidis, one of whom was surprisingly enough a leader of a local mosque (a store front in a rundown neighborhood), got stung by the FBI two years ago trying to launder money as part of a plot to kill a Pakistani diplomat.

Of course there's the hue and cry about targeting Muslims (gee, I wonder why we'd want to do that) but thankfully 12 sane men and women can still be found to put the bad guys away.

Army tones down drill sergeants
[Link: news.yahoo.com...]

He said the old way was to "talk loud, talk often, get their attention" — shock treatment to teach discipline and mold the newly recruited civilian into a soldier.

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.

Other changes aimed at improving graduation rates include such things as letting recruits with injuries or minor medical problems remain in the service, heal, and then go back to training. Before, an injury would have meant discharge, training officials said.

I would be against this "film" even if it were made about Clinton back during his administration.

I know the people who made this think of themselves as avante garde and as breaking down "barriers" in the film industry. Someone above wrote that they are "John WIlkes wannabes."

The film, in my mind, is a perpetuation of a fantasy. The makers and those who laud it want to see GWB gunned down. That's really what it is all about, nothing more, nothing less.

Any talk about "art" or "film-making" is pure bullshit. They built the film to promote the death of GWB and to entertain their fellow travelers.

The interesting thing, however, is that they don't have the balls to try and gun down the President themselves, so they'll try and get some random crazy to do it for them by inspiring the notion with this "movie".

All,

There are other, better video hosting sites out there. I work at Revver, which pays you based on advertising earned from your clips and pays people for sharing clips.

We have a full API (so you can build your own video portal), a pretty kick a** javascript widget, offer videos in much higher quality Flash than YouTube or Google Video, as well as in high quality Quicktime for easy download, and generally believe in rewarding creators for their work through an open syndication model that also rewards syndicators for promoting videos.

The caveat is that we have a very strict copyright policy and have a team of human reviewers reviewing all content going through the system.

So if you have original content, you might want to give Revver a try.

Violence- Domestic terrorism from ELF to this stupid assasination video. Dont they all love Putin to? I see he is wacking his political enemies.

There love of dictators such as Casto, Chavez, Ahmadinnerjacket, Saddam, Arafuck, etc.

Part of the liberal mentality is this "It can't happen to me"
They think it will happen to the other guy. This of course is a normal human idea.
I drive race cars at pretty high speeds. It is a very dangerous sport as evidence by the numbers of people who have been killed doing it. You accept the danger but also have to have the attitude that it will not happen to you but someone else. Its pretty stupid when you think about it. But hey, there it is. The difference is its a personal decision. Not one that will have the same affect on other people. That is the big problem I have with libs. If they only hurt or screwed up themselves, thats fine.

The problem with being able to tag a video or photo or whatever as inappropriate, is it is a one way vote. So you can be tagged and removed, but no way to be tagged as super-appropriate.

You Tube claims videos that are tagged as inappropriate are reviewed by staff before being banned. But there own ideology weighs in there too.

I guess one can always go around tagging left wing crap as inappropriate, but the likelyhood of the "unbiased" YouTube staff to ban them is not likely.

You write as though Gulag Arch. is fiction..?

It was a narrative of the HELL millions suffered under Stalin.

AS was a prisoner/exile in one form or another until this day.

Gulag is not fiction.

A day in the life is fiction. Been awhile since I read them. However the author lived in the gulags, so the story was fiction, life in the camps was not. I belive he was sent to the gulag for writing things the communists didn't like.

Ikhwani (Muslim Brotherhood) terrorists claim there is a global "holocaust" of Muslims. Yeah, think like that asswipes.

[Link: www.ikhwanweb.com...]

Actually, I prefer a global ass-kicking. I would start with bulldozing Temple Mount of the Moon-God atrocities, and make Muslims pay for establishing the Third Temple. And I would give Southern Baptists church establishment rights in Mecca and Medina. All mosques and Islamic Centers would be closed and Muslim prayer would be conducted on TV by State run outfits. No country would be allowed more than 2 Mullahs, who would be avowed Seculars. Under penalty of death, all Muslims would be compelled to incriminate anyone who advocated jihad in their presence. Anglo-American sovereignty would be restored to the Reagan (formerly Persian) Gulf, and the fields would be protected by a 200 mile Arab/Persian free zone. The West Bank would come under international sovereignty, and all Muslims would be booted out of same. No Muslim would be allowed to live in either the Americas or Europe. Persia would be restored as a Zoroastrian State. All Pakistani, Afghan and Bengali Muslims would be de-programed of murder-cult thoughts.

On second though, the above would be too difficult. Maybe I would NUKE _ _ _, and see what happens.

233 rtheyserius  Tue, Oct 10, 2006 8:43:52pm

I hate when good topics devolve into blather; but I realize there's no stopping it.

Meanwhile... what was this thread about?

Oh yeah, how YouTube is sucking the big one!

I'd like to say I agree with someone way up above that the marketplace will determine a liberally biased YouTube to be a loser for Google, but I'm not so sure.

Conservatives have talk-radio nailed. If they don't come up with a compelling answer to this kind of liberal censorship(that still seems like an oxymoron to me, but there it is), liberals will dominate online user videos.

But there is one antidote someone mentioned... Lawsuits over all the copyright infringements. It's a shame online videos will have to bend over to that, but it's inevitable. And with that, the markets will splinter, consolidating into sub-markets of copyright-controlled pay/subscription content and low quality user-produced freebies.

In the short run, the liberals are running away with the ball on YouTube. A new service won't catch up in popularity any time soon, so the libs are going to have a grand old time pushing their liberal POV and curtailing access to other points of view for quite a while.

By 2008, things could look different if some well-pocketed conservatives (who really do believe in free speech) will step up to the plate and create some alternatives.

Somehow, I'm not going to hold my breath, tho. Eventually, online video will be as common as jpegs and we'll have access to it all over the place.

Buying YouTube will probably turn out to be a loser for Google.

I am not anyone important. I was involved in dirt track racing in my young days. Then some lady came along, had kids, kinda got away from it due to those demands. You know the drill. Now the kids are older and an oppurtunity came along. SCCA & IMSA sportscar racing. Drove for a veteran last year and now we are expanding to a 2 car team for next year. If we ever get the second car built that is.
All the big time racing series are youth happy. I am to old for them. If your over 20 your too old now!

And Im gettin to know myself a little bit better
Whoa , I keep pushin on
Keep pushin on, yeah

Tryin to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think I was a little bit crazy, oh yeah
Whoa, I keep pushin on

Keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin, keep pushin on
Keep pushin, keep pushin, you know you have got to be so strong
Keep pushin, keep pushin, well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin on

In my opinion, Google will do its best to appeal to the greatest amount of people in order to rake in the bucks on advertisement and services. My guess is that Google will censor anything not in lockstep with the mainstream ideology that promotes Islam as the RoP (while demonizing "dissenters" to that ideology by censoring "inapproriate" and "offensive" videos). Lest we forget that google is in Silicon Valley, home to a horde of foreign nationals from India and the Middle East...and IS part of the greater San Francisco bay area, a region heavily populated by folk of a more leftist bent.

The full video can be found if you nose around the BitTorrent sites. I've only watched the first ten minutes of it. It's an excelent example of the video equivalent of photoshopping.

If you look carefully during the protest that gets ugly in the begining, you can see scenes of real police beating up real protesters. They happen to be U.K. police. Odd, it was supposed to take place in Chicago.

IMHO it would have made a decent TV movie (bubblegum for the mind as a friend says) if it had not been made about a sitting president. Since it was, it was just sensationalist trash with a dubious political agenda.

Someone should watch the whole thing and file an honest report. It just won't be me.

The thread flows less smoothly when people try to go around seeking to manipulated it.
Everybody can write whatever they fancy. The only one to direct the traffic here is Charles Johnson, the owner. And with the new flaging system, it's easy to get his attention when seems to be needed.

I have a problem with posters who come in after I post and make remarks about me. Something you seem to do. I do not notice you making posts about the topic, but about me.

There are many posters on LGF who have more than one nic and if you are going to use me and my Bubble Girl as some sort of substandard for LGF then you will be also accusing other posters of the same set of "substandards."

As for my "erotica" I beg to differ, as this is your "opinion." If you think my posting on LGF lowers the "standard" then take it to Charles instead of acting as yet another hall monitor.

Wow! have a little cheese with that whine people. First off Yes YouTube is trying to suppress free speech, thats why they have a web site with massive servers specificlly dedicated to the posting of video content of anything, by anyone. Try it.
You too can film yourself eating Cheerios in your underwear whilst spouting your New-Con talking points. (I promise i wont flag it)
Second the content is regulated ,for the most part by users. the flags you cry about were probably done by people who disagreed with the racial aspect of your "brilliant" ad
Hey but on the bright side you people could go there and flag the many Keith Olberman videos until your carpeltunnel acts up.

331 chevalier de st george  Tue, Oct 10, 2006 10:07:08pm

The amount of racist exterminationist antisemetism in the comments on youtube beggars disbelief.
Call for Jews to be wiped out etc etc.
none of this is deemed "unsuitable", by "the management".
Look at the 'praise to george galloway' movies.
We need to boycott youtube and start a non biased competitor.
Charles might be able to arrange some graphic/video system for LGFers.

It is becoming increasingly obvious from several Sprite posts attacking Amalie over the last few weeks, that Sprite is very likely a sock puppet for one of the GCP gang, who at one time targeted her for personal destruction and slandered her - as they did to several other people, including Charles, the head lizard.

Still coming over here to personally attack posters and contribute nothing positive.

Sprite certainly continues to pursue a personal campaign against Amalie.

Go back to your hole. Your bitter personal sniping isn't wanted here. And Amalie's professional life is none of your damn business.

I dont personally think there was anything racist about it. I was merely speculating on why it could have been successfully flagged.
I could not find any reason why it needed to be flagged for the "over 18" disclaimer.
But i seriously doubt that YouTube flagged it because of its ridiculous political claims.

I tend to agree with #330. Who says its YouTube's management that's marking things? If all the commentators on this blog would have gone to the second video shown, signed up and marked it offensive, it would also get such a notice.

The problem is not so much with YT up until now. The problem will come with Google in it. Google has an inbeded bias that will show in YT indefectibly. Yes, it's user managed...up to a point. There's an editorial slant that will be present more and more.

Just to let everyone know... While surfing through the internet I found someone who solved this problem and has a way to fix it. There are 2 registry keys in the registry that are causing the problem. It affects the explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe files.

This is the key that needs to be deleted...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Optionsexplorer.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionImage File Execution Optionsiexplorer.exe

Once these keys are deleted the desktop and internet explorer should come back to life.

Moments before a famous Shakespearean actor was to perform Hamlet to a packed house in New York, he dropped dead. The house manager solemnly went onstage and announced, "We are sorry to bring you this news, but our performance tonight has been canceled due to the untimely demise of our featured performer."

From the back of the theater a voice cried out, "Give him zum chicken soup!"

Startled, the stage manager cleared his throat and replied, "I apologize if in my grief I have not made my solemn message clear. The man is deceased."

Once again, but more emphatically the voice rang out, "Give him zum chicken soup!"

Having had quite enough, the manager bellowed back, "Sir, the man is dead! Giving him chicken soup couldn't possibly help."

To which the voice replied, "Vell, it couldn't hurt!"

From a Fox story:

The Washington Times, however, quoting anonymous intelligence officials, reported Tuesday that the second part of what appears to be a two-part explosion likely did not occur. North Korean scientists were believed to be using massive amounts of conventional explosives to try to set off a more powerful atomic chain reaction that results in a nuclear blast.

Now wait a minute - they're testing a fission device that requires a 500 T conventional explosive trigger ? What the hell is up with that ?

477 TotallySirius  Wed, Oct 11, 2006 1:52:29am

If the NorKor bomb was a dud or had inefficient fission,our planes and satellites would have picked up leaking radionuclides.

It is impossible to contain all the fission products...they will leak out of cracks in the rocks.

A nuke produces a lot of pressure and that pressure has to escape somewhere.

A nuke produces unique fission products that don't exist in nature.

If their plan is to use brute force to produce a fission bomb,I wish them good luck...it won't work.

Like I posted above,it isn't a question of brute force,its a question of design accuracy.

Also if they are using Plutonium and the bomb was a dud,there is going to be a hella bunch of Plutonium leaking out of there in the future.

Well, the "anonymous intelligence official" for that one must have been a secretary who flunked out of an art appreciation program. That ain't how things work. And what would they do with a so-called weapon that weighed in excess of 500 tons ? That idea is just silly.

If it was a hoax, it was a piss-poor one, since there's no way to make 500 T look like 15 KT. And the source duration data would give it away anyway. Still waiting for those estimates.

Mom Says She Didn't Mean to Throw Baby at Boyfriend

Tuesday , October 10, 2006 AP

ERIE, Pa. — A northwestern Pennsylvania woman accused of using her baby to batter her child's father said she didn't realize what she was doing until it was too late.

Chyrotia Graham, 27, of Erie, told police she had been drinking when an argument with the child's father turned violent early Sunday morning, according to an affidavit filed to support Graham's arrest.

Graham said she "snapped" and began grabbing things and throwing them at Deangelo Troop, 20, not realizing she had picked up her 4-week-old son, Jarron Troop, telling police she held the child by his legs and swung him at his father. Police had said they believed the woman held the baby by the midsection when she hit the man.

Graham was being held in the Erie County Jail on Monday on $75,000 bond. She faces charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault.

Jarron, who was born Sept. 11, suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain after the incident. The infant's head hit Deangelo, who had also fathered one of Graham's other four children.

Deangelo told the Erie Times-News that Graham never meant to hurt their child.

"People are trying to make a big deal about it, but she did not do it on purpose. ... It was just a mistake," he said.

500 tons, not 500 kilotons. And no, they don't. Damned few people do. How much conventional explosive is in a fission bomb ? Maybe 100 pounds ? Can't be much more than that. As I mentioned last evening, take a look at the old US tactical nuke systems. You could fit the warhead (Davy Crocket) or artillery shell in a golf bag. Not much room in there.

Fight over army chaplains may be renewed

By ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Christian conservatives in Congress are expected to renew their fight to allow military chaplains to pray in the name of Jesus at public events, contending that existing practices infringe upon basic religious freedoms.

They lost a battle last week to push through legislation that would have allowed military chaplains to publicly lead groups in sectarian prayers. The language was championed by conservatives who say service policies are so restrictive that chaplains cannot invoke Jesus's name when praying in public, including over a dead soldier on the battlefield.

Military chaplains often lead groups in prayer outside private religious services, but omit references to any particular religion. Opponents have said allowing specific religious references during public military prayers could be divisive.

Debate on the legislation came just weeks before the Nov. 7 elections and was seen by critics as a last-ditch effort by conservatives to cater to religious voters, who can often sway election outcomes. Critics also say the language could cripple U.S. efforts to win the "hearts and minds" of Muslims in the Middle East by painting the American military as evangelizing Christians.

Rep. Walter Jones and other conservatives who supported the legislation say their proposal is not intended to allow evangelizing within the military.

"This is about a First Amendment right" to free speech, said Jones, R-N.C., in an interview Monday.

This is one reason why some Christian ministers do not choose the Military as a career. My son was actually discouraged by his pastor from joining the service as a Chaplain's assistant, because he would be unable to express his faith fully, and would have to compromise his beliefs at times to conform to military practice. So a lot of times the troops are left with wishy-washy feel-good chaplains.

Al Gore wins Quill book prize

By Christine Kearney Wed Oct 11, 2:54 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) -
Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and authors offering touching, humorous stories dominated the second Quill Book Awards, a book prize event aimed at giving some Oscar-style red carpet extravagance to the book publishing world.


The Quills, setting itself apart from other more sober literary awards, featured a line-up of stars from the television, book and entertainment industries presenting winners and commemorating authors and publishing houses.

The winners honored on Tuesday were chosen by the public in online voting from a list of nominees in 19 categories.

Gore's environmentalist book won in the history, current events and politics section. The former vice president was not present to accept the award, but thanked publishers and editors for "making something we are all immensely proud of" in a statement read out at the gala event.

From Ynet News:

Terrorist carrying explosive belt shot dead

Security forces open fire at Palestinian attempting to infiltrate Israel from nothern Gaza Strip. Military sources: Belt was ready to be activated; terrorist's body transferred back to Gaza

10.11.06, 13:21

Security forces on Tuesday night killed a terrorist who tried to infiltrate Israel from the northern Gaza Strip with an explosive belt. The terrorist was shot shortly after crossing the border fence south of the Karni crossin, and his body was later transferred back to the Gaza Strip.


The details of the incident and its circumstances have not been cleared for publication by the defense establishment and the Israel Defense Forces. No details were given on the terrorist and on his organization.


According to military sources, the incident illustrates the high motivation among terror organizations in the Strip to carry out terror attacks against Israeli targets.


According to the sources, although recently terror organizations have begun referring to the Gaza Strip border fence as "the wall of death," in light of the large number of terrorists killed there since the disengagement plan, there are still attempts to cross the fence.


IDF sources said that the explosive belt found on the terrorist's body was ready to be activated, and that the terrorist apparently planned to detonate himself in a crowded place.

Good Morning Dead Threaders.

Well, Reuters is back at it. They claim a strike on a bomb factory was actually a hit in a Hamas lawmaker's home.

An Israeli missile hit the Gaza Strip home of a well known woman lawmaker from the governing Islamist group Hamas on Wednesday in what the army said was an attack on a weapons factory.

There were no reports of casualties in the strike in Gaza on the building of Mariam Farhat, better known as Umm Nidal, who has often voiced pride at the death of three of her six sons during a Palestinian uprising.

Real piece of work, Umm Nidal.

When is it ever going to occur to these morons that this is typical terrorist behavior, to operate in private homes and in neighborhoods? Hey Reuters, it was one and the same thing, a bomb factory and the home of a Hamas lawmaker. See how it works now?

No dilution of Christian identity in dialogue: Pope

1 hour, 24 minutes ago

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -
Pope Benedict said on Wednesday Christians could not allow their beliefs and identity to be diluted for the sake of dialogue with other religions.


"We have to remember that this identity of ours calls for strength, clarity, and courage in the world in which we live," he told pilgrims and tourists at his weekly general audience.

Since he made controversial comments on Islam a month ago, the question of how much dialogue Catholics should have with other religions has become a point of debate in the Church.

Some Catholics feel they have compromised too much of their Christian identity in the four decades since the 1962-1965 Second
Vatican Council called for increased dialogue with Muslims, Jews and members of other religions.

The Pope said the dialogue started after the Council "must continue."

"But this path of dialogue that is so necessary must not lead us to forget the duty to firmly underscore the tenets and identity of our Christian faith that cannot be renounced."

In an address at Regensburg University in his native Germany on September 12, the Pope quoted 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus, who spoke of the Prophet Mohammad's "command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."

The speech sparked violent protests in several Muslim countries and handed him the toughest international crisis since his election in April 2005.

The leader of more than one billion Catholics has several times expressed regret for the reaction to the speech, saying his words were misunderstood. But he has stopped short of the unequivocal apology wanted by Muslims.

How long before sombebody sues the soda companies for sexism. Cola consumption linked to weaker bones in women.

In a study of more than 2,500 adults, Dr. Katherine L. Tucker of Tufts University in Boston and colleagues found that women who consumed cola daily had lower bone mineral density (BMD) in their hips than those who drank less than one serving of cola a month.

Studies in teen girls have tied heavy soft drink consumption to fractures and lower BMD, the researchers note, but it is not clear if this is because they're drinking less milk, or if it is due to any harmful effects of soda itself.

While there was no association between soft drinks in general and BMD, the researchers found that women who drank the most cola had significantly less dense bones in their hips. The greater their intake, the thinner the bones, and the relationship was seen for diet, regular, and non-caffeinated colas.

Cola consumption had no effect on BMD in men.

Just another example of how men discriminate against women.

More truly devastating economic news as winter heating likely to cost less.

Sadly, this should leave more disposable income for people and will cause sales of dog food to the elderly to plummet.

How will we survive?

And in more dire news, I paid $2.11/gallon for petro last night
and the DJIA had another record high. Depression, here we come.

The government projected a decline in winter heating bills yesterday, adding to the already sizable benefit to consumers from falling energy prices.
The Energy Information Administration yesterday predicted that for the first time since 2001, home heating bills will stay the same or decline from last year's levels, thanks to plunging oil and natural gas prices and forecasts of a mild winter ahead.
Add that to rapidly dropping gasoline prices -- pump prices have plunged 75 cents to $2.26 since August, the fastest decline on record -- and consumers are set to enjoy an energy dividend just in time for the holidays, economists said.
"We expect a powerful surge in discretionary income will lift spending, courtesy of the recent plunge in energy quotes," said Richard Berner, chief economist at Morgan Stanley. He estimates consumers' discretionary income has jumped at a $100 billion annual rate since August because of falling gasoline prices, and will grow by another $20 billion to $30 billion because of lower heating bills.

All this time, I thought liberalism was so popular?

Democrats veer to the right in fight for House

They must pretend to be something else to get elected. Do not reward such fraudulence. This guy had a free ad disguised as a story in the most recent Sports Illustrated. Another reason not to vote for him: He once played for the Washington Redskins. Ack!

He's not the only one out of the LLL mainstream, or pretending to be.

In North Carolina, former Washington Redskins quarterback Heath Shuler is running for a House seat, declaring himself a pro-life member of the pro-gun National Rifle Association, and accusing his opponent, Rep. Charles H. Taylor, of supporting amnesty for illegal aliens.
What's wrong with this picture? Mr. Taylor is a conservative Republican, and Mr. Shuler is the Democratic challenger trying to outflank him on the right -- a not uncommon move this election year, even before the Mark Foley scandal increased the midterm vulnerability of House Republicans.
It's happening across the South and Midwest, as Democratic congressional candidates from Illinois to Georgia are casting aside liberal loyalties to compete in conservative districts where they hope to gain the 15 seats needed for Democrats to take control of the House.
Democrats "have adopted a different kind of candidate, out of the traditional political sphere," said Charlie Gerow, a Pennsylvania-based Republican strategist.
"There are especially strong cases of 'blank slate' candidates with no voting records, trying to hedge on every issue -- in Pennsylvania, Illinois and Virginia, for example -- and other Democrats running like they're Republicans, in Georgia, Indiana and North Carolina," says National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Jonathan Collegio.
A few snapshots from the campaign trail:
• In Indiana, Vanderburgh County Sheriff Brad Ellsworth, running for a House seat, says flatly, "I'm pro-life. I believe in a traditional marriage and the Second Amendment." And, yes, Mr. Ellsworth is the Democrat in this race, challenging Republican Rep. John Hostettler.
• In Georgia, Rep. John Barrow has publicly denounced a "cut-and-run strategy" in Iraq. He favors a federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex "marriage," and he opposes amnesty for illegal aliens. Mr. Barrow is also a Democrat -- being challenged by former Rep. Max Burns, the Republican he defeated to win the seat in 2004.
• Another Georgia Democrat, Rep. Jim Marshall, voted to block House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's motion last year to investigate possible prisoner abuses in the Iraq war and says he is pro-gun and mostly pro-life. Mr. Marshall is defending his redistricted seat against former Republican Rep. Mac Collins.
• In Kentucky, former Rep. Ken Lucas is yet another Democrat running like an all-out conservative in his challenge to Republican Rep. Geoff Davis.

In today's Hitler update, we have the Wisconsin crackpot Kevin Barrett getting more free publicity to spread his special brand of insanity.

UW Instructor Compares Bush to Hitler

At least they stopped pretending he was a Professor.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A university instructor who came under scrutiny for arguing that the U.S. government orchestrated the Sept. 11 attacks likens President Bush to Adolf Hitler in an essay his students are being required to buy for his course.

The essay by Kevin Barrett, "Interpreting the Unspeakable: The Myth of 9/11," is part of a $20 book of essays by 15 authors, according to an unedited copy first obtained by WKOW-TV in Madison and later by The Associated Press.

The book's title is "9/11 and American Empire: Muslims, Jews, and Christians Speak Out." It is on the syllabus for Barrett's course at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, "Islam: Religion and Culture," but only three of the essays are required reading, not including Barrett's essay.

Barrett, a part-time instructor who holds a doctorate in African languages and literature and folklore from UW-Madison, is active in a group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth. The group's members say U.S. officials, not al-Qaida terrorists, were behind the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

"Like Bush and the neocons, Hitler and the Nazis inaugurated their new era by destroying an architectural monument and blaming its destruction on their designated enemies," he wrote.

He challenged anyone in town that barring unforeseen war or weather, he'd fill their tank if the price of gas was 10¢ higher on January 7, 2007, than November 7, 2006. But if not, they would fill his tank.

He's still laughing at them and mocking them on the radio. I think this is the way all libs should be treated. Calling their lies in public followed by a big heap of mocking humiliation...

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said the United States does not have "the will or vision" to pursue peace in the Middle East.

Syria is prepared to hold talks with Israel and wants a peaceful solution to the conflict, President Bashar al-Assad has said.

In another bit of fake news, a "study" claims 655,000 Iraqis Died Due to War

A controversial new study contends nearly 655,000 Iraqis have died because of the war, suggesting a far higher death toll than other estimates.

The timing of the survey's release, just a few weeks before the U.S. congressional elections, led one expert to call it "politics."

In the new study, researchers attempt to calculate how many more Iraqis have died since March 2003 than one would expect without the war. Their conclusion, based on interviews of households and not a body count, is that about 600,000 died from violence, mostly gunfire. They also found a small increase in deaths from other causes like heart disease and cancer.

"Deaths are occurring in Iraq now at a rate more than three times that from before the invasion of March 2003," Dr. Gilbert Burnham, lead author of the study, said in a statement.

The study by Burnham, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and others is to be published Thursday on the Web site of The Lancet, a medical journal.

It's fromt he Lancet, so you can dismiss this completely.

History's dangerous repetition

By Caroline B. Glick

It would seem that Karl Marx got things backwards. History does not repeat itself first as tragedy and then as farce. Rather, it repeats itself first as farce and second as tragedy. This, perhaps more than anything else is the conclusion one should reach from North Korea's nuclear test on Columbus Day.


It was the Clinton administration, which back in the Roaring '90s began the policy of appeasing North Korea. Throughout the decade the US wined and dined the North Korean Stalinists who always responded by pocketing US concessions and escalating their nuclear and ballistic missile activities and threats against the US and its Asian allies.

Columbia: Stifling free specch for decades

Tolerance schmolerance.

Walid Shoebat speaks there tonight. He'll be shouted down for no longer being a terrorist.

As a graduate of Columbia College ('87) and the son of a Columbia graduate, I have some perspective on the school and the history of student behavior there. Sadly, nothing has changed in the over 45 years which include my father's time at Columbia, my time there, and the recent "Minuteman protests."

Around 1960, Ayn Rand was invited to speak at Columbia. My father went to hear her. She was shouted down and, unable to address the crowd, left the podium after properly scolding the students for their bad manners. The protesters spent much of their time railing against the evils of capitalism and liberty.

In about 1985, there were protests and scuffles as students barricaded Hamilton Hall to demand the University divest itself of investments in companies which did business in South Africa. The protesters spent much of their time railing against the evils of capitalism and liberty, with somewhat more physical violence than had been seen 25 years earlier.

And now, 20 years after those protests, I see Columbia students act aggressively, irresponsibly, and disgustingly, trying to silence another invited speaker.

A letter to the editor of the Columbia Spectator on October 9th as well as the staff editorial on the same date are informative: The "message from the protesters", apparently written by a senior majoring in economics, goes out of its way to misstate the goals of the Minutemen (of whom I am not a huge fan, for the record). The writer also makes the typical leftist radical mistake of calling everything she disagrees with "fascist," a rather silly error for anyone but especially a senior economics major.

The writer tries to create a moral equivalence between the protesters' directly inciting violence against an invited speaker and what she considers to be offensive speech or policy goals of the Minutemen or some of its members. She misses the basic point of America: Political speech, even if you don't like it, is precisely what the First Amendment was written to protect. Violence against a speaker is unacceptable.

Everything you really need to know about the protesters is contained in this sentence: "Shame on the College Republicans for inviting this fascist thug and provoking such outrage on our campus." In other words, the act of inviting a controversial speaker is worse than violence against that speaker . . . oh, and the speaker must be a "fascist thug" because he doesn't agree with the writer's left-wing sensibilities which are typical of Columbia students.

Her protests that "this is not an issue of free speech" makes it all that much clearer that that is exactly what the issue is. The protesters do not have an "equal right" to shout down a speaker, much less to assault him or his entourage. The right answer . . . the only answer acceptable in our country . . . is to let him speak and then set up your own event to tell everyone why he was wrong.

I saw some ignorant young woman on the news the other night. Naturally, she invoked the name of, you guessed it: Hitler!

Along with "Flyboys" & "Flags of Our Fathers" now 3 pics I want to see.

I happened to be looking at the entry for "Flags Of Our Fathers" on IMDB last night and noticed that there is apparently a companion film which was also directed by Clint Eastwood, and filmed at the same time, called "Letters From Iwo Jima" (Iou Jima kara no tegami) which tells the story from the Japanese perspective. Ken Watanabe plays the role of Japanese General Tadamichi Kuribayashi in both films.

(Nothing against the idea of a co-production, as I haven't seen it (and Tora! Tora! Tora! is a classic), but one wonders whether in the future all war movies will require a rebuttal from the enemy side. I can't wait for Oliver Stone to pick up the story of World Trade Center from Al Qaeda's perspective...)

Why should Democrats concern themselves with a nuclear catastrophe when it's more fun to score cheap political points?

Poisoning the Water's Edge: Democrats reduce North Korea to political soundbites.

Besides, if anything happens, they can just blame Bush.

North Korea's apparent test Sunday of a nuclear device raises large questions with which the United States and the world must now grapple in the months and years ahead. But it may also have finally settled the question of how much time this and future Administrations will have available to deal with genuine foreign policy crises before they become merely political. The answer, it seems, can be measured in milliseconds.

Sen. Bob Menendez was not formerly known as an expert on nuclear proliferation or the politics of Northeast Asia. But there was the New Jersey Democrat on Monday delivering the view that Kim Jong-Il's latest demonstration of aggressive intent "illustrates just how much the Bush Administration's incompetence has endangered our nation." Not to be outdone, Majority Leader-in-waiting Harry Reid insisted the Administration appoint a "senior official to conduct a full review of [its] failed North Korea policy." Mr. Reid performed the rare feat of making Nancy Pelosi sound statesmanlike. Ms. Pelosi at least acknowledged that countries such as China might have played a negative role here.

As best as we can tell, the critique of the Bush Administration boils down to three points. First, as former Sen. Sam Nunn told the New York Times, "we started at the wrong end of the 'axis of evil,'" his point being the Administration should have somehow "dealt with" Pyongyang first and Baghdad later.

Next, say the critics, the Bush Administration has wrongly tried to engage North Korea diplomatically through the "six party" framework, when only the bilateral talks demanded by Kim Jong-Il will do. "Bush aided and abetted the outsourcing of American jobs," says Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean in one of his cheaper jabs, "and now he's outsourced our diplomacy as well." Finally, the President is said to have actually provoked North Korea into building a bomb by naming it to the axis of evil.

Sorry, I couldn't get through all the posts this morning, but yes. EVERYONE should join YT and tip the balance. Favorite the anti-jihadi videos that are still up, make video appeals to YT (they do NOT respond to mail), join Malkin's group (though it seems to be going nowhere), whatever. Flood the site.

The way that videos get flagged is frequently when they are posted in a "YouTube Group" and all of the members go and flag at once along with friends outside the group. This is the only real censorship. Technically you cannot upload material that you have no permission for, yet most of the top rated/most discussed videos on YT are segments of news programs and music videos. The team lashes out arbitrarily, especially at those of us who have the least political support.

I haven't heard anything yet about Joe Girardi interviewing for the Cubs. Have you?

Yeah, he interviewed two days ago. Don't hold your breath for Girardi. He has a better chance of replacing Brenley in the booth than Baker in the dugout.

My connections tell me the Cubs don't want him. I hear Hendry wants to get Bruce Boche who currently is under contract with the Padres. the Padres are tired of him and are looking for a way to get out from under his contract. Apparently Girardi is too much of a tough guy for Hendry's taste, he wants somebody who does not rock the boat or get on the players to play hard. Situation normal at Wrigley Field

If you recall, Baker tried to get Sosa to behave when Baker first came to the Cubs, and Hendry made Baker back off. I'm hearing there is absolutely no sense of urgency at Wrigley Field to fix this, they realize they are at least 3 years away from not being awful and that is if everything goes well. Despite McDonoughs "We want to win now" talk, they have no intention of actually trying to do that. Look for a lot of promotions, but very little actual improvement of the team. They figure they can improve some just by not being as hurt next year.

Plus they spent a lot on Baker and now they want to save some money on the next guy. They figure if they just sit back and wait, somebody acceptable will fall in to their laps at little cost to them. Forget about Piniella, he knows they are not serious about trying to win and he won't waste his time coming here.

W-lover. Ha. I just had to read down a few paragraphs

Whatever the motivations, “the reality is that views on both sides are becoming more extreme,” said Imam Wahid Pedersen, a prominent Dane who is a convert to Islam. “It has become politically correct to attack Islam, and this is making it hard for moderates on both sides to remain reasonable.” Mr. Pedersen fears that onetime moderates are baiting Muslims, the very people they say should integrate into Europe.

The worries about extremism are real. The Belgian far-right party, Vlaams Belang, took 20.5 percent of the vote in city elections last Sunday, five percentage points higher than in 2000. In Antwerp, its base, though, its performance improved barely, suggesting to some experts that its power might be peaking.

In Austria this month, right-wing parties also polled well, on a campaign promise that had rarely been made openly: that Austria should start to deport its immigrants. Vlaams Belang, too, has suggested “repatriation” for immigrants who do not made greater efforts to integrate.

The idea is unthinkable to mainstream leaders, but many Muslims still fear that the day — or at least a debate on the topic — may be a terror attack away.

“I think the time will come,” said Amir Shafe, 34, a Pakistani who earns a good living selling clothes at a market in Antwerp. He deplores terrorism and said he himself did not sense hostility in Belgium. But he said, “We are now thinking of going back to our country, before that time comes.”

Many experts note that there is a deep and troubled history between Islam and Europe, with the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire jostling each other for centuries and bloodily defining the boundaries of Christianity and Islam. A sense of guilt over Europe’s colonial past and then World War II, when intolerance exploded into mass murder, allowed a large migration to occur without any uncomfortable debates over the real differences between migrant and host.

Sending a message to Internet defamers

Many in the blogosphere may think reckless Internet defamation is acceptable "free speech" that should never be squelched, but in the offline world, average Americans serving on a jury have a different view.

Read the link.

She also has more on Walid Shoebat.


Don't know who he is? Read here. Shoebat, a former terrorist who has renounced jihad, will be speaking tonight at 7:30pm in the same auditorium where Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist was mobbed last week.

Also speaking at the event: former Lebanese terrorist Zachariah Anani and former Nazi Hitler youth and German soldier, Hilmar von Campe.

Says Shoebat:

"It is interesting to note that the official line of the Arab Student groups on campus is not to protest against us peacefully or even to turn up. Yet last week they choose to participate in a violent onslaught regarding a subject that is not directly relevant to their cause," says Shoebat, President of the Walid Shoebat Foundation. "This should prove that standing up to intimidation and bullies is the only option on campus and in the free world."

Tonight's event is for renewing Freedom of Speech and for hearing the inspiring stories of three brave individuals who will shed light on the dangers that face the Free World today.

Greets and saluts from the dreary NYC metro area. Rain's in the forecast, so bring your umbrella or rain gear, especially if you're heading to Shea tonite.

Meanwhile, get yer terror convictions here! The two men indicted of trying to buy missiles in terror plot to attack Pakistani diplomats were convicted.

A federal jury on Tuesday convicted two Muslim immigrants of participating in a plot with a man who said he was helping plan a missile attack on a Pakistani diplomat in New York City in 2004.

The man to whom the immigrants were linked was actually an informant working with the F.B.I. in a sting operation against the two defendants, Yassin M. Aref, 36, an Iraqi refugee and the imam at an Albany mosque, and Mohammed M. Hossain, 51, a Bangladeshi immigrant and the owner of a pizzeria here. The gestation of the case, with the government’s informant ingratiating himself with the men and initiating all the conversations about a shoulder-fired rocket launcher, led to claims of entrapment from Mr. Hossain’s lawyers during the three-week trial in Federal District Court.

“Obviously we had a couple of individuals that were prone to supporting terrorism,” United States Attorney Glenn T. Suddaby said after the verdict.

Following up on my #608, according to my sources you have to understand from the beginning that the Cubs management sees themself as purely an entertainment show, not as a professional sports team trying to win a championship.

Therefore, their focus is on presenting the illusion of having something worth watching now. They have no concept of trying to build a better team tomorrow. This is why Hendry traded 3 good pitching prospects last year to rent Juan Pierre for one year, then let him go.

I had a black cat who lived 21.5 years: I got him when I was a sophmore in high school, and he lived until I was 36!

He was an amazing cat. He used to kill birds, so we put a bell on his collar. That worked for about two weeks, and then birds started re-appearing on our front porch. One day I looked out of my bedroom window to see him stalking a grackle... while holding the bell securely under his chin. Smart feline. I miss that old dude. He even survived being bitten by a rattlesnake on the top of his hed when he was less than a year old! It only happened once, and he remained a snake killing machine all the rest of his life.

Cats are so much cooler than dogs; not into the whole "command and control" thing at all. ;^)

Can the Republican Bull Walk?

The current stage of the Republican Congressional campaign is a roiling mess of high confusion, such that goodness and badness of individual news items are hardly discernible. Listening to Washington scuttlebutt these days will give you a massive headache, like a Cyclops watching a Ping-Pong match. One thing is clear; the Democrats are hoping that recent events will help them scuttle Republican butts.

On the Republican side, two camps are entrenching their positions, the Good News Bulls and the Bad News Bears. Each new morsel of information is masticated by these herds and regurgitated in a new form. To assess the real status, we must review both views of events and arrive at some semblance of balance. The Bulls say we are in a groove, the Bears say we are in a rut. The Bulls say we are coasting, the Bears say we are stagnating. The Bulls say we are in focus, the Bears say we are in denial. So let's have a look.

They won't believe you until you stop buying tickets and stop watching so they have to give back advertising revenue. Until that point, you will get a lot of talk and not much else. That is why they promoted a PR guy to team President, a guy who admits that he knows nothing about baseball. They are telling you by that move alone that they do not believe you.

My sources say Hendry figures they will get a little better next year by accident and he can coast on that for the two years he has remaining on his contract.

The Yankee hex: I blame Hillary

That cow had to go put a Yankee hat on, after all that time claiming to be a Cubs fan.

Anyway, even as a Yankee fan, I say enough already. They're done. Let the teams that are still playing enjoy the spotlight. Speaking of whom, props to the Tigers. Instead of obsessing on the Yankee collapse, let's give credit to a team playing well in all phases of the game. They looked sharp last night.

Plus, I have no problem with the Mets getting their due here in New York. I had surmised we'd see a Mets-Oakland WS, which we may, but the Tigers look to be a feel-good story, so I hope they get to face the Mets.

As a longtime Yankee fan, I see that my October surprise again came early, as routine in recent years as the revelation of Republican skeletons in the closet and about as welcome. This year's giant-killers spring from the swing state of Michigan; fearsome Tigers whose rivalry with the Pinstripers dates back to the beginnings of the American League.

Though they had never faced each other in the playoffs, their history has intertwined, from Ty Cobb's disdain for Babe Ruth's style of play in the 1920s to the sparks ignited by manager Billy Martin who managed both teams in the '70s. From their time-honored uniforms to their beautiful ballparks, both teams are rich in tradition.

This Yankee fan may be in the minority, but if we had to be humiliated in the first round, I'm glad it was to the Tigers and their manager Jim Leyland; a classy baseball guy who says things like, "I always tell my pitchers, 'To me, a role is something you put butter on.' Your role is to come here ready to pitch, and when I call for you, get somebody out."

It should come as no surprise they never played against each other in the playoffs, since there were no playoffs pre-1969, and they were in the same division before the wildcard format; since then, Detroit was dreadful until recently.

Suicide bomber band?

Bomber song band avoid clash over open-top gig

CAMDEN Town is well known for its "anything-goes" attitude to fashion, but four men took it to extremes over the weekend, dressed as suicide bombers in balaclavas and with fake explosives taped to their chests.

New rock band Sanchogrey decided the best way to promote their latest single, Suicide Bomber, was to play it from the top deck of an open-top bus while driving through Camden Town.

It certainly grabbed the attention of shoppers, who swarmed round the bus outside Stables Market on Saturday afternoon, but confrontation with police was avoided despite the controversial subject matter.

Band member and spokesman Stocky said: "There were people from the Islamic community bobbing their heads and dancing. They thought it was fantastic.

"We pulled up outside Camden Lock and started playing Suicide Bomber and there was about 1,500 to 2,000 shoppers there; everyone started getting their mobile phones out and videoing us.

"When we moved off the crowd gave us a massive cheer. It was brilliant, like we were playing Wembley.

"The police definitely knew we were there and were probably round the corner waiting for it all to kick off."

The song points out that terrorists can be of any race, colour or creed.

Sure they can be...but are they?

Get indignant

There were all sorts of things Republicans could have done last week to better handle the fallout from the Mark Foley scandal. They could have taken responsibility immediately for their mishandling of the initial warnings about Foley. They could have had key staff and members of Congress — probably Rep. John Shimkus, the head of the page board — resign over the mistakes. They could have avoided all the internal sniping and appointed a respected outsider to get to the bottom of the facts. They did none of that, and it has made their position much weaker than it had to be in the ongoing firestorm.

But there is no fixing that now, and only one option for the party going forward: to fight back, and fight back hard. No more defensiveness, no more mumbled explanations, no more apologies. This doesn’t mean Republicans should flail around with unproven theories of how Democrats have been pushing the story. Instead, it’s time for righteous indignation, one of the most powerful forces in politics when properly applied.

Republicans should say, “Yes, of course we wish we had found out sooner about Foley’s perversion, but there was no question of his staying as soon as it become clear what he was doing, and we resent any attempt to smear our party with the disgusting wrongdoing of one twisted man.”

They should contrast their treatment of Foley — who left after it became clear he had been sending sexual messages to pages — with the Democrats’ tolerance of former congressman Gerry Studds (who had sex with a 17-year-old male page), current congressman Barney Frank (who had a relationship with a male prostitute who ran a prostitution ring out of his apartment), and Bill Clinton (who had oral sex with an intern in the Oval Office). Which party holds its members to the higher standard of personal conduct? The Democrats, who still have Rep. William Jefferson of $90,000-in-the-freezer fame in their caucus, or the Republicans, who never would have tolerated Foley’s presence after the revelations?

Republicans should bristle at the suggestion that they were protecting Foley in any way. If signals were missed, there is no evidence that congressmen were shielding Foley from accountability. Certainly no one was covering for him out of fear that a Democrat would take his seat, as liberal commentators have charged. If Foley had been found out and ousted as soon as Rep. Rodney Alexander brought up his so-called overfriendly e-mails in the fall of 2005, Foley’s seat would be safe for Republicans today. As soon as everyone knew that Foley had been plying teenagers with lewd instant messages and using the page program to identity potential sex partners, he was gone.

Republicans should show their anger that during the final weeks of a campaign waged in the midst of a war on terror, with shooting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and rogue states staging or attempting to stage nuclear tests, Democrats and the media want to focus on the sick transgressions of one disgraced former congressman. They should say that the public deserves better, and that at this point — after more than a week of wall-to-wall coverage — the continued Foley overkill tells us more about the frivolity and bizarre obsessions of the media and the Democrats than it does about the Republicans. It is they who should be ashamed.

There is no doubt about it, the Foley scandal is now raw political blood sport. It is a convenient way for Democrats and their de facto allies in the media to sweep the Republicans from power and give us Speaker Pelosi. Republicans must acknowledge this, and act accordingly.

663 realwest  Wed, Oct 11, 2006 4:25:04am

Don't know if this has been posted yet:

Report: Japan to impose total ban on N. Korean imports, ships

TOKYO - Japan reportedly took steps Wednesday to punish North Korea for its apparent nuclear test, moving to impose a total ban on imports from the impoverished nation and prohibit its ships from entering Japanese ports.

The sanctions, which also expand restrictions on North Korean nationals entering Japan, are to be announced following an emergency security meeting headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe later Wednesday, according to public broadcaster NHK.

Cabinet Office spokesman Hiroshi Suzuki confirmed a security meeting was scheduled, but refused to discuss its agenda. He said sanctions, if approved, could take effect immediately.

Tokyo has already halted food aid and imposed limited financial sanctions against North Korea after it test-fired seven missiles into waters between Japan and the Korean peninsula in July.

But a total ban on imports and ships would be a serious blow for North Korea, whose produce like clams and mushroom earns precious foreign currency on the Japanese market. Ferries also serve as a major conduit of communication between the two countries, which have no diplomatic relations.[emphasis added realwest]
Earlier Wednesday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki urged the North to return immediately and unconditionally to the six-party nuclear talks, and honor promises to freeze its missile program and strengthen regional peace under a 2002 bilateral pact.

The North has boycotted the six-way talks on its nuclear program, which also involve the United States, China, South Korea and Russia, due to anger over separate financial sanctions imposed by Washington.

He was the most dog-like cat - loyalty wise - I've ever heard of a cat being.

Jonah Goldberg hits a grand slam with this piece:

Liberal Paranoia:
A magnifying trick.

Liberal paranoia isn’t solely Christophobic. “On the Media,” a public radio program that purports to be an objective watchdog of the press, recently interviewed Lawrence Wright, the author of the acclaimed book The Looming Tower, who also wrote the script for the mediocre 1998 movie The Siege, starring Denzel Washington. According to “On the Media,” the film was “prophetic” in that Wright had successfully “predicted” what would happen if America were attacked by terrorists. In the movie, Muslims are rounded up and put in concentration camps in sports stadiums, while martial law is declared in New York City. I guess I forgot to read the newspapers the day that happened.

A recent dispatch in the New York Times reported from a conference at Yale on the 100th anniversary of Hannah Arendt’s birth. Arendt, recall, was the author of the brilliant but flawed “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” which explored the rise of Nazism and Stalinism, and “Eichmann in Jerusalem,” which covered the trial of the bureaucratic mastermind of the Holocaust. At the Yale conference, according to the Times, political scientist Benjamin Barber “dismissed the idea that Islamist fundamentalism was in any way totalitarian but suggested that given the current administration in the United States, an ‘American Eichmann is not altogether impossible.’” For the record, under the Islamic fundamentalism of the Taliban, music was banned. Women were made chattel. Homosexuals were crushed with stones. Children were forbidden to fly kites. But don’t believe you’re lying eyes; take Barber’s word for it that such policies aren’t totalitarian. Oh, and be sure to watch out for the Eichmanns in our midst.

Others at the conference conjured similar phantasms. Writer Jonathan Schell said America hasn’t quite fulfilled Arendt’s checklist for totalitarian systems, but “we are on the edge of that abyss.” And so on. We’ve been on the edge of that abyss for a while now. During those dark years of John Ashcroft’s tenure as attorney general, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D., N.Y.), lamented that the government had become “thought police.” Sen. Russ Feingold, (D., Wis.), said that Americans had become “afraid to read books, terrified into silence” simply because the government was given the same power to investigate suspected terrorists that it long had to scrutinize drug dealers and mob kingpins.

One is tempted to invoke Orwell’s dictum that some things are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them. But, the truth is, lots of otherwise normal people believe this stuff.

Yet Orwell’s point is still relevant. Intellectuals look at the world through literary prisms of theory. They come up with a vision of the world — one that usually magnifies their importance — and then select facts accordingly. Arendt herself was so convinced a Goldwater presidency would usher in an age of storm troopers, she looked for an apartment in Switzerland after he was nominated.

The waves of paranoia currently sweeping through America could be seen as the democratization of intellectual dementia. Criticisms of President Bush, Christians, the right wing, the Patriot Act, whatever: These are all fine. But presumably, such large claims against America should come with ample evidence to back them up. Instead, we get the opposite. The smaller the example, the greater its significance. And that trick is the intellectual class’s gift to America.

Marijuana may stave off Alzheimer's

POSTED: 7:57 p.m. EDT, October 5, 2006


WASHINGTON, (Reuters) -- Good news for aging hippies: Smoking pot may stave off Alzheimer's disease.

New research shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may prevent the progression of the disease by preserving levels of an important neurotransmitter that allows the brain to function.

Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs.

THC is also more effective at blocking clumps of protein that can inhibit memory and cognition in Alzheimer's patients, the researchers reported in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics.

The researchers said their discovery could lead to more effective drug treatment for Alzheimer's, the leading cause of dementia among the elderly.

Those afflicted with Alzheimer's suffer from memory loss, impaired decision-making, and diminished language and movement skills. The ultimate cause of the disease is unknown, though it is believed to be hereditary.

Marijuana is used to relieve glaucoma and can help reduce side effects from cancer and AIDS treatment.

Possessing marijuana for recreational use is illegal in many parts of the world, including the United States, though some states allow possession for medical purposes.

Rush was making the point yesterday that everything must break perfectly for the Democrats to win it all next month, and I just don't see it happening. The bar has been set so high now, anything short of winning the House and Senat will be deemed a failure. Except by them, since they will have some sort of moral victory somewhere, but if they don't win it all, they won't matter.

Stay optimistic

UPDATE: By the way - I concur with Hugh Hewitt, on the supreme lameness of the Washington Post headline that the Republicans could lose 7 to 30 House seats.

If the Republicans lose 7 House seats, few conservatives worry.

If the Republicans lose 10 House seats, few conservatives worry. Okay, they're annoyed, but it means Bush has a Republican House for the entirety of his presidency, and not even the Foley scandal could give Democrats control of the House.

If the Republicans lose 14 House seats, conservatives worry.

If the Republicans lose 15 House seats, conservatives worry, then laugh with glee at the thought of Nancy Pelosi trying to manage a one-seat majority.

If the Republicans lose 20 to 30 House seats, conservatives gnash their teeth, Nancy Pelosi has a bit more breathing room, and it's a really bad year. And then the Republicans run in 2008 blaming the extremist liberal Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives for not solving the country's problems.

Also, apparently, Kerry was on Bill Maher's show (didn't know he had one anymore... with Kerry ON the show, that must have brought a whole 10 viewers) and joked about killing the president.

I thought I lived in a world where that was illegal. If you joke about killing a judge you're in trouble... but not a (republican) president?

Anyone ever hear of this group?

Iraqi 'devil worshipers' seek US support

The leader of Iraq's embattled Yazidi religion called for continued support from the US-led coalition Tuesday, saying his half-million-strong community is threatened by Islamic extremists.

"We as a minority need the great powers' help and support," the Yazidis' Baba Sheikh, Khurto Hajji Ismail, said during the religion's most important festival.

"If no coalition forces were here, we would suffer from persecution and oppression," he added.

Branded ‘devil worshippers’ by Christians and Muslims, the group earned much distrust by its suspicious neighbours.

The Yazidis are in the midst of their Eid al-Jamaa or Feast of Assembly, an annual festival at their holy temple in Lalesh, just 60 kilometres (less than 40 miles) northwest of Iraq's main northern city of Mosul, a bastion of Sunni insurgents.

Yazidis say their community is singled out because it is neither Christian nor Muslim.

"The Islamic groups are a major threat to us, especially extremists like Al-Qaeda and the other terrorists," said Ismail, even as Yazidis from Georgia, Germany, Turkey and elsewhere flocked to Iraq for the annual festival.

In addition to God, the Yazidis worship Malak Taus, the chief of the angels who takes the form of a blue peacock.

In other religions this figure has been equated with Lucifer and earned the Yazidis a reputation -- wrong in their view -- as devil worshippers.

Blue peacock?

There's an excellent article up on WSJ/OJ today:

So This Is Journalism?
Bob Woodward takes a novel approach in his new book on the Bush administration.

BY JONATHAN KARL
Wednesday, October 11, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT

It may seem like another lifetime, but just over five years ago China forced down an American EP-3 spy plane for venturing into Chinese airspace and held its 24-member crew hostage for 11 days. It was the Bush administration's first international crisis, and it was a big one. So how did the president's national security team deal with it? They called Prince Bandar.

At least that's what Bob Woodward tells us in one of the non-Iraq revelations in his latest blockbuster, "State of Denial." In Mr. Woodward's account of that tense stand-off with China, Secretary of State Colin Powell called Prince Bandar bin Sultan, then the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., for help. Prince Bandar, Mr. Woodward tells us, "had special relations with the Chinese through various deals to purchase arms and missiles" and, of course, oil. With a few calls to the Chinese, which were monitored by the National Security Agency, Mr. Woodward says, "Bandar eventually got the Chinese to release the 24 hostages." He goes on: "Never modest about his influence, Bandar considered it almost a personal favor to him."

The story is classic Bob Woodward: fly-on-the-wall descriptions of super-secret discussions, details missed by every other reporter, a juicy scoop. But the account leaves lingering questions: Did Prince Bandar really get the Chinese to release the hostages? Was that the whole story? How does Mr. Woodward "know" all this? Could it be that Prince Bandar himself is making the claim? Your guess is as good as mine. Mr. Woodward doesn't tell us...

Now that the EIB/LGF show prep portion of my day has concluded, I thought I'd weigh in on YouTube, now owned by Google.

Ignore them. Let them become the leftwing echochamber they strive to be. They can all sit around thinking they're so clever, while people like us go elsewhere.

Competition will spring up and they'll become irrelevant. You didn't need them to see that hilarious Zucker video. So screw 'em.

I no longer use Google, and you won't need to use YouTube.

I rarely if ever read any leftwing press, and millions of others do the same. Which is why the print media is becoming extinct, network newscasts are anachronistic, and the left no longer controls the flow of information.

Ideas win out in the end. How do you think we've become the majority in the country when 98% of the media are leftwingers?

We have the strength of our ideas, individual thought, the power of persuasion, and most importantly, the intelligence to think for ourselves rather than become part of the herd.

For as far back as I can recall, I've alwayts been an individual, not part of a clique or groupthink. Freedom of thought is the greastest gift bestowed upon you. Do not waste it.

The Movement, in a statement on Tuesday issued to commemorate Islamic victories in past Ramadan battles, asked the Palestinian masses to keep up confidence in "Almighty Allah's victory" and in "Our ability to expel occupation from our lands and holy shrines regardless of its military and technical supremacy or its ferocious war machine".

"We should deal with occupation on the basis of challenge and pride and not submission and humiliation," the statement elaborated.

Hamas stressed that resistance was the only means capable of repelling the Israeli enemy and subduing its arrogance, and warned that flexibility and dialogue with this enemy were of no use. Such negotiations rather encourage Israel to increase its aggression and terrorism, the statement underlined.

I'll reiterate; Giuliani's social positions are no longer releveant with me. One issue is primary: national security. Without which, nothing else matters.

He's not going to take away your guns. Believe me when I tell you.

I'm tired of the position of "well, maybe being in the minority for a couple yeras or letting Hillary be POTUS will wake people up" jivetalk. That is defeatist nonsense.

Do that at your own peril. You give up the majority or the White House, and you may never get it back.

There isn't anyone out there who will ever be 100% to your liking. One needs to be pragmatic, look at the big picture, and stop being selfish, one-issue voters.

It looks like you need a scorecard for what's going on with North Korea. The politicos are busy spinning furiously, but the facts are that North Korea had sufficient nuclear materials for at least 1-2 nuclear weapons in 2000, and various sources, including Rumsfeld in August 2001, said as much. In fact, Japanese and South Korean intel thought that the North had even more material than the US considered.

North Korea threatens the US with retaliation because the UN might impose sanctions, which it would consider casus belli for war. North Korea has nothing to lose by making these threats. They figure that they can make the UN back down from even a weakly worded resolution. And they're probably right too.

I don't get it.

now, keep in mind, that to watch videos at google videos, you had to download their 'viewer' which (according to some) was spyware, and watched the sites you went to to 'suggest' sites to go to/products to buy.

their big competition was youtube. . . which did not do this.

both were free.

Google bought its main competition. . .

North Korea Threatens War Against U.S.
SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea warned on Wednesday that increased U.S. pressure over the regime's reported nuclear test could be considered an act of war, and South Korea suggested it would build up its conventional arsenal to deal with its belligerent neighbor.

North Korea's No. 2 leader threatened to conduct more nuclear tests if the United States continued what he called its "hostile attitude."

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States would not attack North Korea, rejecting a suggestion that Pyongyang may feel it needs nuclear weapons to stave off an Iraq-style U.S. invasion.

In its first formal statement since the test, North Korea said it could respond to U.S. pressure with "physical" measures.

"If the U.S. keeps pestering us and increases pressure, we will regard it as a declaration of war and will take a series of physical corresponding measures," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency. The statement didn't specify what those measures could be.

Oh my God... I wasn't saying that Dinkins was good... Dinkins was one of the most corrupt, race baiting politicians ever... He was a disaster and there was a lot fo clean up once he and his cronies finally left office... What I was saying was that Dinkuins and his goons dug a lot of crap up on Rudy (mob ties, etc.), which helped him win their first battle, but of course, Rudy won the rematch...

While Rudy's pro choice, anti-gun, pro gay marriage stances really turn me off, I know he would be tough with terror... He also does give a flying fig what people think of his policies... He was very unpopular in NYC before 9/11 among the more 'progressive' circles...

As for his work with Mexico. His security consulting group ws hired by Mexico City to consult regarding the high crime, kidnappings, etc. going on in that City and to train the police a bit better in the prevention of crime. While some may see that as Rudy enabling the Mexican cartels I don't...

I think Rudy as the Dem presidential candidate would be a good move. it'd cause the Republicans to get a CONSERVATIVE republican in the runnings.

but forsaking all social issues for the sake of having someone stronger than Bush on security isn't a situation that i'd choose to be in. . .

Update:

Islamic leader condems conversion death

A MUSLIM leader has condemned the death of a woman in a Gold Coast family's domestic dispute, believed to have been sparked by a daughter's wish to convert from Islam to Christianity.

The 41-year-old woman died from stab wounds inflicted inside the family unit at Southport on Monday night while her 49-year-old husband was rushed to hospital, also suffering stab wounds.

and here are a few amusing quotes from the 'leader'...

“There are other ways to deal with it, you talk to them and try to work it out but you don't kill them, if they're going to go they are going to go,” he said.

“In no circumstances in Islam are you allowed to take another person's life, no-one can say the Koran tells you to do that.”

Islam expert Kathryn Robinson, from the Australian National University, said most Muslims would be horrified by the death.

“Clearly there is something going on about the type of control that father wanted to have over his family, but you can't blame the religion.”

For most Muslims, Islam is about peace... conversion would be a very distressing thing but not to the extent of murder.”

I wonder if he is selling the Brooklyn Bridge as well?

Former (Gay Democrat) Boston City Councilor busted in sex sting


LAWRENCE - Former Boston City Councilor David Scondras was busted in a Lawrence school parking lot before dawn Monday after showing up with lubricant and booze in hope of a tryst in the woods with a 15-year-old boy he’d met online, the authorities said.
The ‘‘boy” that Scondras, 60, of Cambridge allegedly drove some 30 miles to meet for sex turned out to be a 20-year-old Lawrence General Hospital security guard, police say. The guard said he’d received a series of lurid instant messages from the former five-term councilor seeking sex with a minor, and approached a cop for help in dealing with the messages, court and police records indicate.

‘‘You know a lot of people have prejudices against guys who like to have sex with children,” Scondras allegedly told the security guard during a cell phone conversation after the illicit underage rendezvous was set up, a police report says.

Just think folks, if the Dems gain power,

Anybody who supports the Dems, in any way, is a traitor to this country, and if you don't vote in November, and in 2008, to insure that the Democratic party is defeated, shame on you!

The only way, and I mean the only way the Dems win any more elections, is if the GOP doesn't show up to vote.

Agreed. It's amazing how, on a local level, people can be bribed with their own money. I don't want to hear how somebody in Washington brought me this bridge, or that community center. All I want from DC is to be forgotten. If they forgot I exist, the less chance someone will want to find something I do is wrong, and want to either regulate or tax it. I'd be happy paying taxes as a means of making them go away, not bring more to me.

LGF and Charles Johnson will be off the net
FOX News will be off the air

You're being a little paranoid there. Even if the Democrats were to be in power, it's not as if the GOP will be extinct.

Why Muslim women should thank Straw

The growing number of women veiling their faces in Britain is a sign of radicalisation. I was disturbed when, after my first year at university in 1988, I discovered to my surprise that some of my fellow students had turned very religious and had taken to wearing the jilbab (a long, flowing gown covering all the body except hands and face), which they had never worn before and which was not the dress code of their mothers. They had joined the college’s Islamic Society, which preached that women were not considered proper Muslims unless they adopted such strict dress codes. After that, I never really had anything in common with them.

It is an extreme practice. It is never right for a woman to hide behind a veil and shut herself off from people in the community. But it is particularly wrong in Britain, where it alien to the mainstream culture for someone to walk around wearing a mask. The veil restricts women, it stops them achieving their full potential in all areas of their life and it stops them communicating. It sends out a clear message: “I do not want to be part of your society.”

Can it be said often enough that those who don't want to be part of our society should remove themselves from it?

844 Lance.

I'm interested in an individual who can speak well and lead. I like strong leaders, and I don't have to agree with a strong leader on every issue. Like Jammie says, it's the big stuff that matters. If there is a better more elect-able candidate to emerge, I will consider all options. But for now I don't see any promising strong leader types on the horizon, And the thought of a Hillary "we're going to take things away from you for the common good" presidency with Bill back in the White House is too much. Like it or not, Republican need a strong candidate who can appeal to the middle and win.

Where are Reporters Without Borders to complain about the latest indignity suffered by reporters.

North Korean soldiers throwing rocks at passing reporters.

Because it's not like those rocks can't seriously injure anyone, right? I guess we can be lucky that they weren't tossing grenades or firing weapons at them. Yet, one has to wonder about the form. That's one North Korean who doesn't have a chance of making the Big Leagues (though I hear the Yanks need another pitcher)...

Re; Who should be Prez... my thought:

Step 1. Amend Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution (the part that restricts the Presidency to natural born citizens);

I can only think that you have lost your mind. While that might open up the field to a very few well-deserving individuals that might have the best interests of our nation at heart, it would also open the door to an entire world full of wolves in sheep clothing that would happily destroy us!
