As if anyone needs another example of how much Sarah Palin terrifies the msm types and the loony left, see how the clinton news network has compared Sarah with the likes of John Edwards, (morally corrupt), Blago, (politically corrupt) and Ted Stevens, (plain old corrupt). This would be funny if it wasn't so outrageous. I gave up on the msm long ago, as it became glaringly obvious that ideology trumps objectivity every time. Sarah, keep it up, keep smiling through the insults and slurs, and 2012 will be here very soon.

Barack Obama, who has consistently downplayed his relationship with William Ayers during his presidential campaign, once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by the former domestic terrorist and was mentioned by name in the book itself. A blogger unearthed the Dec. 21, 1997, endorsement in the Chicago Tribune and posted photographs of the praise for Ayers' book on Zombietime.com Saturday. Featured next to a smiling photograph of himself, then-State Senator Obama called Ayers' book, "A Kind and Just Parent: Children of the Juvenile Court," a "searing and timely account of the juvenile court system, and the courageous individuals who...

Authorities said the 52-year-old suspect, whose name was not released in line with Austrian privacy laws, stabbed the unidentified 33-year-old Serb with a hunting knife on Friday at the restaurant in Oberwart, in the easternmost province of Burgenland.

DURHAM -- The angry punch to his face didn't have a lasting effect on Eliseo Hernandez. The lumps caused by fierce kicks to his body have long since disappeared. But the terror of having three guns thrust against his body as he was beaten, threatened with death and robbed on Thanksgiving Day spawned lingering emotional trauma. Hernandez's tale of terror is anything but unique in Durham. For a variety of reasons, many say, Hispanics are a lucrative, vulnerable and growing target for armed robbers. The Hispanics also say most of the robbers are black. Of 17 Hispanics asked, all said...

“Here is the Golden Rule of sound citizenship, the first and greatest lesson in the study of politics: You get the same order of criminality from any State to which you give power to exercise it; and whatever power you give the State to do things FOR you carries with it the equivalent power to do things TO you.”

There is terrorism in Baghdad but a criminal gang problem has also been plaguing our nation's capital. In an officially declared "crime emergency," black criminals had been robbing, assaulting, and even raping tourists in the National Mall area, where the Washington Monument and the World War II and Lincoln Memorials stand. This is an area that had been considered safe and "tourist-friendly." Three young black men were arrested for these crimes, but you could search in vain in the local media for any reference to their skin color. Instead, they were described as "D.C. youths" or just "five people." Stories...

How's this for chilling -- the night before she was shot in Berkeley over the summer, Dartmouth College student Meleia Willis-Starbuck handled the very gun that was used to kill her. That's the story Willis-Starbuck's friend and accused killer Christopher Hollis is telling authorities, and it's one of several new details emerging from the tragic shooting. The 19-year-old Willis-Starbuck, who graduated from Berkeley High School and had just finished her freshman year at Dartmouth, was arguing with a group of UC Berkeley football players and their friends on College Avenue early July 17 and reportedly used her cell phone to...

A home burglar got a stern lecture and a 32-month prison sentence Wednesday from a judge who said the community is "sick and tired" of drug users stealing their hard-earned possessions. Lane County Circuit Judge Gregory Foote also reminded 20-year-old Michael Scott Wrighthouse that Oregon law allows residents to use deadly force when they encounter a burglar inside an occupied dwelling. "They have guns in their houses because of people like you. They are prepared to blow you away. You will go out of there in a body bag, and nobody will care," Foote told Wrighthouse. "Do I condone that...

Milwaukee police arrested 14,000 people, snagged 200 guns and grabbed 37 pounds of cocaine - all in just three months this summer. Despite such seemingly impressive numbers, crime continues to surge, fueled by what Police Chief Nannette Hegerty calls a "societal crisis" unfolding in neighborhoods gripped by unstable families, few jobs, rampant drug use, teen pregnancy, and topped with a significant dose of anger and hopelessness, the chief said. Faced with such challenges, police can't do it all, she said. "This is a problem bigger than law enforcement," Hegerty said Wednesday. "I think we have a societal crisis." More evidence...

An alert neighbor helped thwart a home invasion near Lake Mary this morning and led authorities to the capture of two suspects. The neighbor was watching about 11:30 a.m. as a car pulled up in front of a home on Silverton Loop. Two men got out carrying backpacks and flowers and at least one of them pulled a ski mask out of his backpack before entering the front door of the house, the neighbor told authorities when he called 911.

WORTHINGTON, Ohio Aug 24, 2006 (AP)— Someone shot at a carload of teenage girls, critically wounding one of them, after some of them had stepped near a house that had been rumored by fellow students to be haunted, police said. A man who lives in the house, Allen S. Davis, was arrested Wednesday in the shooting of 17-year-old Rachel Barezinsky the night before. He told reporters Wednesday from jail that he was trying to drive off trespassers and didn't intend to hurt the girls. Barezinsky remained in critical condition Thursday at Ohio State University Medical Center, a nursing supervisor said....

Parents in danger: The boy breaks free of duct tape, plunges knife five times into the man's back CEDAR CITY - Police in southern Utah are calling a 17-year-old boy a hero after he fatally stabbed an armed intruder who broke into his family's home early Wednesday. Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower described the boy as a level-headed kid "who, in my opinion, saved his family's lives." It all began when a 19-year-old Las Vegas man, who was recently fired from a construction company owned by the family, broke into their home at 2650 N. 2200 West, near Cedar City,...

In this summer of gun deaths, T-shirts promoting violence are popular in the city HAMEEN NURIDDIN is no stranger to what the streets can dish out. He works for the city school district, in the office that is responsible for school safety. It's his office that responds when students are affected by violence in or out of school. That's why Nuriddin was so dismayed when his 16-year-old son, Yusef, brought home a shirt he had recently purchased from Kicks USA in the Quartermaster Plaza, at 22nd Street and Oregon Avenue in South Philly. The white T-shirt has an oozing, blood-red...

A Brighton homeowner is in trouble with the city because an alleged break-in artist fell to his death early yesterday from a set of rickety exterior stairs attached to the man’s two-story house.

Ngoc Le heard his wife’s screams and ran from the back of the wireless store he owns in Camden, New Jersey. His wife was behind the counter, as was a masked man wielding a knife. The man brandished the blade, herding the couple into a back room. Once there, he tied the 28-year old businessman to a chair, then proceeded to rape 22-year old Kelly Le. Once the brutal rape had finished, he slit the couple’s throats, then ran away. There was no 2nd Amendment, no right to own a gun, and Antonio Diaz Reyes got away with murder. That...

BANGKOK, Thailand - The American suspect in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey told investigators that he drugged and had sex with the 6-year-old beauty queen before accidentally killing her, a senior Thai police officer said Thursday. An autopsy on Ramsey said a blood screening showed no drugs or alcohol in her body but said she had vaginal abrasions. Lt. Gen. Suwat Tumrongsiskul, head of Thailand's immigration police, said by telephone that he was not present for the questioning, which was conducted by U.S. law enforcement officials. But, according to what the general said he was told of the questioning, the...

RUTLAND, Vt. — The first man sentenced to death in Vermont in almost 50 years is now on death row at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute. On Tuesday the federal Bureau of Prisons listed Donald Fell as being in transit. By late Wednesday he was listed as being held in Indiana, the site of the federal government’s death chamber. “This was going to happen,” said one of Fell’s attorneys, Alexander Bunin. “Typically, that’s where people facing a (federal) death sentence are held.” “He was ready for it,” Bunin said. “He was prepared to go and he was ready to...
