"Frankly, I am angered and disgusted this kind of rank partisanship," said Rabin. "Now that the Iranian nuclear attack are subsiding, surviving Americans of all religions and mutations need to come together and unite against our common enemy - Sarah Palin."

LMAO!

I saw Malcolm Hoenlein (the rally's organiser) give his speech today, and all I could think was:

Cheney's Jewish?

“Allowing Palin into a Jewish refugee shelter creates not only a partisan circus, but a health hazard for fellow Jews who will be exposed to her dangerous Alaska redneck cooties.”

OMG.

Too full to be laughing this hard.

“Just because Senators Clinton and Schumer were vaporized in the attack last week is no excuse for you to continue hosting Sarah Palin,” responded Stanley. “It is an affront to all Jews that you would actually share your freeze-dried kreplatch and tzimmes with this dangerous meshuggah shiksa.”

Oh God.

Under the Palin-Rove police state, citizens will be targeted with state cyberterrorism. Bruce Fein of the American Freedom Agenda, a former Reagan official, warned me three years ago that the Bush team went after a Republican who had crossed them through cyberstalking: they messed with his email, messed with his phones and I believe messed with his bank account -- he became a cyber-pariah, unemployable and haunted. With modern technology, there really is less place to hide from the state than there was in East Germany in the Cold War era. I remember feeling a chill: of course. That is the wave of the future once we breach the protections around citizens of FISA and the fourth amendment. That way lies the abyss for us all.

Am I trying to scare you? I am. I am trying to scare you to death and ask you to scare your Republican and independent friends most of all. How do you know when it is war on citizens? When there are mass arrests, journalists are jailed, the opposition is infiltrated, rights are stripped and leaders start to ignore the rule of law.

I always knew feminist Liberals were a strange, but there is something about Palin that makes them jump over the cliff of sanity.

I wonder if it's because she's a woman, a Christian, a right-winger, or pretty, or powerful, or what.

The poll you won't hear trumpted on MSNBC or CNN.

FOX News/Rasmussen Poll: Race in Swing States Mirrors 2004 Election

Very interesting stuff.

Polling this week in Florida and Ohio shows little net change from the previous week with McCain holding a very modest advantage in each state. McCain and Obama both increased their level of support slightly in each as the number of undecided/third party voters declined by three points in each.

In Florida, McCain is in the lead by five percentage points, 51% to 46%. In Ohio, McCain is also ahead, 50%, to 46%.

Pennsylvania and Virginia also showed little change this week, but both of these states shifted slightly back in the direction of their historic voting patterns after being tied a week ago. Now, Obama is up by three in Pennsylvania (48%-45%) and McCain is up by two in Virginia (50% to 48%).

It would be a mistake to read too much into these minor changes as all four states remain very competitive with just over six weeks to go.

In Michigan, Obama holds a 51% to 44% advantage over McCain. That too is little changed from the previous Rasmussen Reports survey conducted on September 10.

There is no clear reason as to why these battleground state polls remained stable while the national trend moved in Obama’s direction. However, it is worth noting that Obama didn’t really gain ground nationally over the past week. Rather, McCain lost support.

It's amazing that he didn't lose more after the endless bashing he has received in the media. It underlines Obama's weakness, IMHO.

This is what gets me. Palin theoretically asked the librarian, to test her thought-process, if she would be willing to ban books. Perhaps a little startling, but she could ask a person who reported to her anything she wants.

From this, and that now discredited proposal of teaching Creationism alongside Evolution, plus the fact that she didn't abort Trig, the Left of this country have fabricated this despicable idea of who she is.

In their nitwit minds, she attacked free speech, science, and is a Christian extremist. It's but a step from this to becoming the Bigger Badder Version of Bush (read, Hitler).

Iowahawk may have satire down, but for the laugh of the day, I have to give the nod to Asif ali Zardari, who says that the US should let the Pakistanis go after the terrorists inside Pakistan.

That's because it's worked out so well until now. I really doubt that Pakistan's current government will do any different than the Musharraf government, which is to say engage in appeasement and crackdown depending on how close the assassination attempts got.

The Marriott bombing was quite close - nearly a decapitation strike against the government - so expect the Pakistanis to make a show of the crackdown, but that will last only so long, and then they'll go back to appeasement. Since Mehsud claims he had nothing to do with it, watch for him to use the situation to his advantage (well, he'd use it to his advantage no matter what) and weasel still more power and autonomy in which to operate and to carry out attacks across the border against Afghanistan.

I never knew that!

Something about this story doesn't quite sit right. US releases a journalist who they've held in Afghanistan for 11 months. Turned him over to the Afghan authorities.

Of course, he claims all kinds of abuse while being detained.

He denied being a member of the Taliban, but he readily admits contacts with all kinds of Taliban thugs. Calls it part of his job - to talk to the Taliban just like any other organization. Like NATO.

Ahmad estimated that he met with U.S. investigators around 100 times. They repeatedly showed him pictures of Taliban fighters and asked him if he knew them. He always said no.

Ahmad worked as a translator for U.S. Special Forces for 2 1/2 years, starting in 2002. He quit after the second time he was wounded in a Taliban attack, he said.

He says he hopes to learn why the U.S. detained him, saying the experience "destroyed" his life.

"Financially they destroyed me. My mom is in the hospital in Pakistan taking her last breath," he said.

Ahmad readily admits that he had contact with Taliban fighters.

"As a journalist you have the right to talk to any organization. You are the eyes of the world," he said. "Yes, I talked to the Taliban like any other reporter. I traveled with them. I did stories with them. They are not my uncles or brothers, they are the Taliban. I talked to them just like I talked to NATO. If you know only one party, you are useless."

Rights campaigners compared Ahmad's case to that of Bilal Hussein, an Associated Press photographer who spent more than two years in U.S. military custody in Iraq. Hussein initially was accused of working with Iraqi insurgents but was released in April after Iraqi judges closed his case.

Ahmad said he will continue working as a journalist.

"I will most definitely be a journalist. I have more energy than before," he said.

Given that Bilal Hussein was granted amnesty under the reconciliation laws, these are not comparable instances (but would you expect that kind of information to be included in a news report? )/grrrrr

Cool. Good luck with the planning - lotta work. Hire a good photographer!

re: #136 vbspurs

I linked to a part of this in the previous thread, but this is Bill Clinton's full quote on Sarah Palin:

He could've chosen any word. From popular to interesting to appealing.

But the old horndog went with hot.

he can't help himself.
think of his commitment.
"hot", after the major heart surgery.
lol

re: #138 loppyd

This place has one big drawback, though. You have to have a daytime wedding. It has to start at 11:45 and end at 5:00. Not so sure I'm down with that.

We looked at a place in Rye, NH as well....

It does? Why? Blue Laws?

re: #142 MandyManners

Awesome!

I kind of blocked out everything the wedding coordinator was telling me after I spotted them. LOL

I'm sure that I'm-a-dinner-jacket is quaking in his jackboots at the divided enemy. Good work, NJDC!

re: #139 lone_wolf_in_illinois

Just more of the same from Slick Willy! I can't believe the hilldog let him off his leash or unbuckled his muzzle long enough for him to comment on her!

Not once, but now 3 times. On CNBC, on the View and in the Clinton Initiative press conference where he used that word (hot).

Bill wants in on that booty call.

re: #133 loppyd

I never knew that!

ROTFLMAO................... Why would you? Pretty much everyone here knows I live in California. Unless you happen to know that my grandfather was a highly decorated WWII Air Force Colonel from Nantucket how could you possibly have guessed?

re: #80 lawhawk

Iowahawk may have satire down, but for the laugh of the day, I have to give the nod to Asif ali Zardari, who says that the US should let the Pakistanis go after the terrorists inside Pakistan.

That's because it's worked out so well until now. I really doubt that Pakistan's current government will do any different than the Musharraf government, which is to say engage in appeasement and crackdown depending on how close the assassination attempts got.

The Marriott bombing was quite close - nearly a decapitation strike against the government - so expect the Pakistanis to make a show of the crackdown, but that will last only so long, and then they'll go back to appeasement. Since Mehsud claims he had nothing to do with it, watch for him to use the situation to his advantage (well, he'd use it to his advantage no matter what) and weasel still more power and autonomy in which to operate and to carry out attacks across the border against Afghanistan.

Perhaps if Afghanistan threatened to ANNEX the "FATA" things might change - QUICKLY!

re: #144 cliffster

Key photographer hint - make sure their cardiologist is OK with them working.

Twenty years ago, I hired a wonderful woman to photograph our wedding. She had worked in the church dozens of times and knew everything - angles, lighting and flash rules, etc.

She had a major coronary two days prior, and, since she was having a QUADRUPLE BYPASS, sent her schmuck son-in-law who:

a: Insulted the pastor
b: Took flash photos during the ceremony
c: Made my (at the time) 84 year old grandmother make several unnecessary trips up front for post-wedding group photos and
d: Tried to run the reception so that he could leave early!

I like their excuse. But McCain/Palin was in the evening, while BHO was during the day (whiny voice). Heh, McCain/Palin can bring in the crowds during a week-day as well. Just look at NOVA last week and Florida today.

re: #102 vbspurs

She said if Palin goes to Harlem, that black "brothers" will rape her. I don't even know where to begin. It's unintelligible, which she now claims is all part of her act. That she was just being edgy.

No she wasn't. That is pure hate.

I guess there are times when I can understand liberals. She was evoking imagery, all kinds of negative imagery. I mean, we could break it down, but I don't really think I want to.

You're right, it was pure hate. Hatred per se is not wrong, it depends upon the target, but in this case it's very vicious and wrong.

I've heard this place is very nice:

[Link: www.stonehedgeinnandspa.com...]

5 miles south of Nashua, NH.

Good evening, how has everyone been?

We went to the Villages yesterday, here in Florida, to see Sarah. Wow what a crowd. The estimates are up to 60,000 and I believe it. I've been in crowds before but this was over the top, you literally could not move. Our local ABC affiliate channel in Gainesville was miffed at Sarah because she didn't grant them an interview but BO did so their report gave an estimate of only 20,000. The news chick said the crowd was just Republicans how she knew this I have no idea. There were some people in front of me that were talking to each other about being Donks but were voting for John and Sarah. The PUMAS were also out in force. We also had to park 1 1/2 miles away from the venue and walk because there just wasn't anyway you could get any closer but it was well worth being there to show our support. My cousin ended up taking pictures of the Palin family when they appeared on the Jumbotron screen or we wouldn't have had any. McCain/Palin '08.

I'm a religious Jew and I'd rather have kreplach with Sarah Palin than with Mark Stanley on any given day!
How can any Jew (in their right mind) back a candidate that is, possibly a former Muslim, until about a three months ago a member of an Anti-American, Anti-Israeli, Racist, church and has a very close friendship with an Anti-Semite (Jerry Wright)?
How can any Jew (in their right mind) not recognize that an evangelical Christian is the best friend a Jew can have in the white house?

re: #186 rayamehemna

Precisely right, but vote for them they will. Dem cred is more important than having an extra 20k people show up at the rally and getting international media. The "presidents" really showed that Palin a thing or two!

Schmuck as in Charles Schmucky Schumer

Isn't if funny?

We have these weird ass jews and they
have them in Israel as well no doubt.

And most likely I'd like many Muslims in the
middle east more so then these jews in america
and the middle east.

History

Typically at least one of the parties involved may be referred to as partisans. One theory says "partisan" comes from the Tuscan word, "partigiano", meaning a member of a party of light or irregular troops engaged in harassing an enemy, especially a member of a guerrilla band engaged in fighting or sabotage against an occupying army. The other theory says the word comes from the Persian word Parti-san; in Persian, san means similar and Part is a name of an Aryan tribe living in the northeast of Iran who are said to have invented and developed the first partisan war tactics.

The first known wide usage of asymmetric war was by Parthians, who freed Persia from Seleucid rule (remaining from Alexander's invasion) and continued the same techniques against Romans and other invaders from the north of the empire.[2]

===============================

With asymmetric warfare we'll soon be fighting the partisans
at home.

If the dumbocrats haven't proven that already keep
your head buried in the sand.

re: #65 yochanan

a putz is worse half the population has a schmuck but anyone can be a putz

When Joe Biden is drunkenly singing 'The Villages,' he's a schmuck.

When he's taking Clarence Thomas's words out of context to ambush Thomas at his confirmation hearing, he's a putz.

When he says high wage earners need to pay more taxes because it's 'time to be patriotic,' he's a schmuck for the stupidity of the statement and a putz for the class-warfare intent behind the statement.

Absolutely accurate. Just because Jewish organizations felt pressure, doesn't mean my fellow Jews needed to cave into it. Disgraceful.

What kind of person paints their shelter door lid with lamb's blood?"

best line.

Dear LGF readers,

Please don't associate those kooky, crazy, extreme left Jews with those of us (unfortunately a minority) who are right thinking. Not every Jew is insane like them. I live in Brooklyn. There is a very large contingent of conservative thinking and voting Jews here.

A lot of supposedly smart Jews are dumber than they think.

re: #57 MandyManners

Which is worse?

I always thought that prick was worse. As in Biden is a dick and Obambi is a Prick. While Axelrod is a c***sucker.

I also thought that Schmuck was worse than a putz but my yiddishisms are out of data since leaving the NY area 20 years ago.

However, that's a good reason to start laughing. You'll feel a lot better.

Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad will be feted at a dinner sponsored by certain religious groups right here in the United States:

The American Jewish Committee in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon criticized the scheduled address by Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann, the General Assembly's president, at a dinner Thursday recognizing the Iranian president.

“The presence of the President of the General Assembly at an event in honor of Mr. Ahmadinejad would make a mockery of you, the United Nations, and the nations and leaders who have made a point of rejecting Holocaust denial whenever, wherever, and by whomever it is made,” wrote AJC President Richard Sideman and Executive Director David Harris in their letter.

The dinner, sponsored by The Mennonite Central Committee, the Quaker United Nations Office, the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace and the American Friends Service Committee, has been promoted as a venue to promote dialogue, which the AJC leaders reject.

Hilarious!

re: #198 Promethea

The whole "laugh-or-you'd-cry" act is what Iowahawk does, right? Takes incidents that would break your heart and makes you laugh?
It works.

More about a dinner with Ahmadinejad, from the horse's mouth almost:

NEW YORK — Keepers of Protestantism’s pacifist traditions will showcase just how far they’ve come from their humble roots in Europe’s persecuted peasantry when they share an intimate dinner in New York next Thursday (Sept. 25) with a world leader.

It’s not just any world leader, however, but Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who’s been labeled an international pariah for his nuclear ambitions, denial of the Holocaust, saber-rattling toward Israel and alleged support of terrorism.

But for Quakers and Mennonites who’ll be at the table, breaking bread with this controversial dignitary means drawing deeply on the same spiritual roots that sustained their embattled ancestors long ago.

“Jesus ate with lepers and with tax collectors, and in the United States right now, Iran would be in that category,” says Arli Klassen, executive director of the Mennonite Central Committee, an outreach arm for Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches in the United States and Canada.

“The criticisms levied at Jesus were that he ate with ... people of ill repute, and we’re getting similar criticisms.”
...

“At this point in time, there are virtually no other places for the president of the Iran to have discussions with people in the U.S.,” Klassen says. “There's an opportunity for discussion, and we don’t believe we can just step out and say, ‘no.’ God has given us an opportunity, and it’s our responsibility to say ‘yes.’”

Funny! Love the sanctimony!

re: #39 Sharmuta

Heh.

A friend of mine and I belonged to a particular recreational group - a club, of sorts. We knew the leader of the group was very liberal, because he never hesitated to share his views with everyone. Though the group was not political, he used his leadership position as a platform to express himself that way - we just never engaged in politics with him. We became pretty close friends, working together at different events, when at one event my friend revealed to this man that he was a Republican.

As soon as my friend left the area we were in, the man leaned over to me and said, "Did you know [this person, my friend] was a Republican?" You'd think my friend had revealed membership in the KKK. He was in shock, as though he couldn't believe he had been associating all this time with someone who could do something so vile. I said, "Yes, I did - so am I."

We've seen very little of him since. And not because we didn't want to associate with him.

I like "schlemiel" and "schlemazel"

A schlemiel is a guy who spills his soup at the dinner table
A schlemazel is the guy he spills it on.

And Laverne and Shirley used them in their theme song ("Schlemiel/Schlemazel ... Hassenpepper Incorporated")

According to Rush Limbaugh, the Jewish groups rescinded the invitation because they were threatened by the Dems with law suits that would attack their tax exempt status. However, they handled it all wrong. They should have gone public with the threats and told the Dems to "F" off. Bad PR for my people. I'm really sorry and embarrassed that they caved to these partisan hacks.
