  • Blood Libel and ‘Peace’ — A Bad Middle Eastern Mix

    Pajamas Media ^ | Sept. 17 | P. David Hornik
    Once again, the usual discord. On the one hand, U.S. envoy George Mitchell is in Israel to try — once again — to drum up Israeli-Palestinian peace talks that in President Obama’s vision are supposed to blossom, and in a rather short time, into an overall Arab-Israeli peace. On the other hand, the latest hit in the region is Jews as murderous organ harvesters. A story first offered by Algeria’s al-Khabar daily and now spreading like wildfire, the Jerusalem Post reports, in “the anti-Semitic blogosphere and many Arab and Muslim media outlets,” notably including Iran’s official Press TV agency, claims...
  • Leftwing Blogosphere Erupts in Anger Over Obama Reversal on 'Torture' Photos Release

    It was a sight to behold. President Barack Obama reverses himself on his promise to release interrogation (now redefined as "torture") photos and the entire leftwing blogosphere erupts in an explosion of anger. It was so bad that Cenk Uygur, host of the leftwing host of The Young Turks radio show, claimed that Obama was cowed into caving in to Dick Cheney as you can see in his Daily Kos post: This is an unbelievable moment. Dick Cheney's PR offensive over the last month actually worked. Barack Obama just crumbled and will follow Cheney's command to not release the new...
  • Democratic Underground: 'The Republican Party needs to be eliminated'

    The complete intolerance of many on the left for diversity of opinion often goes beyond the mere wish to stifle the expression of opposing political viewpoints via the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" or by other means. Most recently there has been a disturbing new trend, voiced by those like Mike Malloy who called Republicans "domestic terrorists" and wants to prosecute them. So what was the reaction to Malloy's intolerance by his fellow leftwingers? Unfortunately, it was met by strong approval as one can see in this Democratic Underground thread titled, "Mike Malloy: The Republican Party Needs to be Eliminated." The posts...

    Attention all shrinks! You will have a field day analyzing the incredibly childish BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) exhibited by this Hate Bush thread over at the Democratic Underground. The author of the thread, William Rivers Pitt, is a real piece of work. In case you never heard of Pitt, he was a perpetrator, along with former fashion photographer and Truthout publisher, Marc Ash, and "investigative reporter" Jason Leopold of one of the biggest journalistic hoaxes of this decade: the supposed indictment of Karl Rove by Patrick Fitzgerald on May 12, 2006. All that Pitt managed to accomplish when the indictment...

Many of these were being hosted on servers here in the US. He listed the names of the companies and contact info and urged Freepers to contact them to get them shut down. Most of the sites he listed have since been shut down(at least here in the US) or no longer host jihadi content. I have however come across a few of the sites on the list and links that jveritas provided that make me suspicious that they...

    N.Korea says South's Web ban violates freedom Fri Jan 26, 10:40 AM ET North Korea said on Friday the South Korean government was violating the public's basic right to information by blocking access to Web sites sympathetic to the North. South Korea has denied access to more than 30 Web sites that it has designated "pro-North Korea" since 2004, including the North's official KCNA news agency's Web service and sites operated outside.

    London, Asharq Al-Awsat- For the second day running, extremist websites were clad in black, as they mourned the death of Iraq’s most wanted terrorist, Abu Musab al Zarqawi. While many sites speculated about Abu Mohammed al Masri, who the US army suggested would take over the helm of al Qaeda in Iraq, the bayaa, or ceremony to pledge allegiance to al Zarqawi’s deputy, Abu Abdel Rahman al Iraqi, appeared to have already started. An extremist leader, using a screen name, asked, “Could the American forces appoint a successor to al Zarqawi?” Others cast doubt about whether al Masri would take...

    Teens Drag Cat to Death on Freeway (CBS 5 News)--Three valley teens face felony charges for animal cruelty and drug possession. A DPS officer pulled them over when he saw them dragging a cat from their car. The teens apparently tied long shoelaces around the cat’s neck and held the other end of the shoelaces out the window. Kim Nitzel of the Humane society says an animal autopsy proved the cat was still alive before it was drug down the freeway. The Humane Society has identified that the cat was an adult female. She was white with tabby markings. She...

    An amateur bomb-maker in Suffolk County is in police custody this morning after testing the explosions in his back yard. Police charged 28-year-old Robert Rotella of Shore Manor with criminal weapons possession after they were told he accepted delivery of chemicals that were used to make explosives. He was arraigned yesterday in First District Court in Islip and released on his own recognizance. Rotella's neighbors simply said he is no threat to national security and that he makes fireworks for fun.

    Anti-Semitism Raises its Head in Serbia Though very small in number, Serbia’s Jewish community is being increasingly targeted by an array of ultra-nationalist groups. By Dragana Nikolic-Solomon and Ljubisa Ivanovic in Belgrade (BCR No 544, 04-Mar-05) The slogans hint at a future settling of accounts. "Juden Raus", "Achtung Juden", "Jews out of Serbia" and "Death to Jews and Gipsies", they proclaim, the words providing a chilling echo of the Holocaust that decimated European Jewry more than half a century ago. But few Jews actually see these slogans in Serbia today. Providing ample proof of the claim that anti-Semitism doesn't need...

    [snip] with the astonishing new poll released by the Military Times yesterday. That poll of 1,423 active members of the military indicates that the armed forces of the United States are passionate supporters of the Coalition's efforts in Iraq. Support for the war inside the military stands at 60 percent, 25 percent higher than the latest Gallup measurement of the American people as a whole. When it comes to President Bush's handling of the war effort, the results are even more lopsided. Only 42 percent of Americans approve, according to ABC News. In the military, Bush garners 63 percent support....
