CNN likens inauguration to 'hajj'
Crowd cited, 'That is the initial definition of a pilgrimage, show up'
A special CNN report has likened attendance at President Obama's inauguration to participation in the hajj, the pilgrimage to Islam's holy city Mecca that Muslims are required to make at least once.
The CNN report was criticized by the FreedomsLighthouse.com blog.
"Just when you think you have heard everything from the liberal media, they best their own record for ludicrous reporting," said the website report about the CNN video. "Here is a CNN report that actually compares the upcoming presidential inauguration to the Muslim hajj pilgrimage to Mecca! I kid you not!"
The commentary continued: "The report never mentions Obama by name, but we did not see any comparisons between President Bush's inauguration and the hajj to Mecca. For the mainstream media, who take such pride in helping to get Barack Obama elected with their incredibly biased reporting, perhaps the inauguration of Barack Obama is a religious event, as they put their faith in the Messianic Obama they helped to create."

Obama to Mohammad: Follow our example. Pretty please???
Sooooo, no sooner does Hussein get sworn in (after a do-over, this time with a Teleprompter) than his handlers have him focus on the things that really matter: Phoning the Palestinians and making life easier for captured terrorists.
Thumbing through his checklist of executive orders that'll make America safe . . . Close Gitmo? Check. Close overseas CIA detention sites? Check. End odious practice of treating terror "suspects" as terror "suspects"? Check. Suspend war crimes trials? Check. Containers of deodorant and spacious rooms at Waldorf-Astoria for detainees? Check, check.
Obama's executive orders mark a 'sharp policy shift,' as the media delicately put it, a clean break from Bush's policies, replacing them with losing the war. Feel safer now? When Hussein promised to keep us safe, just who exactly did he mean by "us"?
One of the terror "suspects" being held at Gitmo is Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, who happens to be the chap who masterminded the 9/11 attacks. But even he thinks Obama is going too far! Informed that his trial was suspended because Obama wasn't sure he really did it, Khalid waxed philosophical: "DUDE, I DID DO IT! HELLO? I TOTALLY PLOTTED 9/11!!"
Liberals are convinced the real mastermind behind 9/11 was Halliburton, but there's no proof Khalid ever worked for Halliburton, so ya just never know. We must review his case! We could have the wrong guy.
As widely respected national security expert William Ayers once remarked: "Guilty as hell, free as a bird. It's a great country!"
Michael Dukakis furloughed Willie Horton. Odimbulb wants to furlough al-Qaeda and the Taliban. It's part of his bold Islamic outreach.
Showing that priorities under "your new government" are in the right place, Obama's executive orders say that anyone now in custody for blowing up innocent people -- or, as the New York Times would put it, for "suspicion" of being a "militant" -- can expect to be treated as a POW. 'Militants', who have been trained to withstand Army Field Manual techniques, will be questioned using Army Field Manual techniques. As for getting vital information from detainees to save lives, don't worry -- Islamic fanatics will crack under the nicer treatment!
Obama's executive orders mean that slaughtering 3,000 civilians -- even on U.S. soil -- isn't enough to get you treated as an unlawful combatant or war criminal. Which means that nothing short of being Dick Cheney or Bushitler would. By upgrading these Muslim peace-loving little darlings to POW status (treatment-wise), your new government-in-training-wheels gets to pretend that these unlawful combatants are really honorable combatants -- regular soldiers. Al-Qaeda "fighters" aren't soldiers in an army, don't wear uniforms, don't rumble around in tanks, don't owe allegiance to any country, aren't committed to any treaty -- other than that, they're regular soldiers.
Before the Supremes got busy finding the "right" to jihad as fundamental, even the plain text of the Geneva Conventions -- which liberals love to cite as the reason they coddle terrorists -- would rule out Osama and his chums getting POW treatment. If you're al-Qaeda, to get coverage under Geneva as written, the head-hacking, disemboweling, hijacking, kidnapping and pizzeria-bombing would have to go, which means al-Qaeda would have to restructure its fundamental business practices. But that would mean al-Qaeda ceasing to be al-Qaeda. The beloved Geneva Conventions also figure that detainees have really surrendered, but with all the Islamo-butt-kissing mush from president pantywaist this week, any Pashtun goat herder will tell you it's now the fully emasculated Great Satan doing the surrendering.
And with Hopeyland descending into full-on give-Neville-Changeberlain-a-chance, expect a torrent of the following: The case of Said Ali-Shihri, who was formerly held at the Guantanamo vacation club, but was released to the Saudis in 2007. No sooner had the chap passed through the Saudi rehab program for "former" jihadists than the recovering al-Qaedaholic was back at it again, bombing the U.S. Embassy in Yemen's capital last September. He's now emerged as deputy honcho of al-Qaeda's Yemeni branch.
But this case isn't some isolated snafuroo, with a good chunk of ex-Gitmo jailbirds, in Gitmo for terrorism, shockingly returning to terrorism. With Barack Obarney Fife's announced catch-and-release approach to these poor, misunderstood little Mother Teresas, gird your loins because ex-Gitmo prisoner '372' was just the warm-up act.
Or maybe there's hope! Dana Priest of the Washington Post, in an article entitled, "Bush's 'War' On Terror Comes to a Sudden End," announced that, "with a stroke of his pen, [Obama] effectively declared an end to the 'war on terror'"! Isn't that just wonderful? I'm sure al-Qaeda got the memo. Terrorists can now put their suicide bomb-belts away. Muslim savages will cease being Muslim savages because of Obama's executive orders, according to Dana in Wonderland.
The nuts in the White House believe that we can "reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideas," as Hussein's speech writer put it in Tuesday's inaugural address, following the oaf of office. "Our security emanates from . . . the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint." In other words, show al-Qaeda you've got a fetish about the legal rights of Muslim savages, charm 'em with the emanations of the penumbra of the Due Process clause, and you'll sweep Mohammad off his feet. Al-Qaeda will love you for it.
Bush's approach of whacking the enemy on his home court got breezily dismissed as too "idealistic" but Jimmah Carter II's breeziest 'play patty cake and do sing-alongs with al-Qaeda for peace' passes for "realism". The problem with the moral high ground argument in this case, other than it being insane, is that it's hard to see the moral high ground when you're down in the soft, wet dirt, six feet under the ground. Come to think of it, gird your loins.
Anyway, that's...

"The writing on the wall" (or sometimes "handwriting on the wall"), an idiom, is a portent of doom or misfortune. It originates in the Biblical book of Daniel—where supernatural writing foretells the demise of the Babylonian Empire. The phrase is widely used in language and literature.
When you shall see the handwriting on the wall er inauguration of desolation er obamanation of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet...
CNN. The news in the Utopian States of Amerika. I cancelled my cable tv cause I could not stand anymore. My life has suddenly become a lot more fun.
Truly amazing the pure volume on CCC stuff pimped of shopping channels (CCC = Cheap Chinese Crap). I will not even comment on Bwarney and Friends programming. I love how NC taxed my air... here in NC we spend billions maintaining and regulating satellites, rocket launches, subsidizing the building of satellites, etc....of course you knew that too.
I could no longer tolerate socialist propaganda presented as “news”. All the media is now government propaganda. Fox included. I have no use for it. I use the internet. The good cop bad cop BS makes me sick.
I love the Internet for news, though one needs to exercise extreme caution on stuff thrown up.
When a group (the LSM) has to omit, edit, slant, twist, ignore, and out right lie w/ regards to the truth in order to promote 'their' agenda to the walking zombies I call sheeple, then there must be something deathly wrong with the hookers they are pimping.
This I have noticed especially w/ respect to Christians, The Word of God, the family and the Conservative Cause.
Before we get too deep into Obama's Muslim past, what is the position of Islam on abortion? Or, is abortion okay with Muslims because it currently consists of infidels killing infidels?

I think the last part of your sentence is right.
You will find this interesting and enlightening.

Obama’s executive order wants it both ways on interrogation.

I cancelled my cable tv/No need for that it’s not news it’s CNN it is funny some times to see cnn make things up or omit the main part of a story you can hear on cnn in other news batman picks up cape from cleaners and a cat is in a tree.
Oh, for crying out gag-me-with-arugula loud, CNN. Get a freakin’ grip.
I got netflix instead. All the good movies and no “news” you can’t use.
Speaking of Haj, you might enjoy the latest YouTubne Hitler rant in which Hitler wants to go to the Gil Hodges fantasy baseball camp. Instead, the travel agent sends him to Haj. He is not pleased.

We are in deep shi*t with this clown in office. But after all McPain made similar statements he would have Gitmo closed down. We got screwed either way this time around.
