Jonathan Greenblatt, a White House aide, has been selected to replace Abe Foxman as national director of the ADL.

Greenblatt, a social entrepreneur, government official and corporate executive with extensive experience in building socially conscious businesses and creating innovative public-private partnerships,” noted the ADL’s press release, issued on Thursday, Nov. 6. Greenblatt, 43, has been the director of the...

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his family are featured in a worshipful profile in this month's Washingtonian magazine. It's the sort of adoring journalistic exercise reserved for only the most handsome of the power elite. In it you can find out details about the Carney dog (a cousin to presidential pooch Sonny!), and how much the press secretary's tie costs ($135). But keen observers may notice the kitchen decor in the photo: Soviet propaganda posters. They really are the perfect pop of color whether you are the dour and sincere Nikita Khrushchev or the cheeky press-wrangler for a...

Pat Buchanan, Gaza, and What We Learn from Chris Matthews’ Neo-Communist Propaganda 2010 June 18 by J. Christopher Pryor tags: Chris Matthews, Gaza flotilla, Lift the Siege of Gaza, Pat Buchnan While Chris Matthews’ special “Rise of the New Right” was nothing less than insulting to the intelligence, and pure propaganda, conservatives can learn something from it. If we do not clean our own house, somebody else will. There are many who march under the banner of conservative America, but who have their own agenda. They often keep this agenda to themselves until they are presented with the proper...

I live in Texas, an American state, a red state, a state that supports W and a state in which democrats have ceased to exist as a political force. Oh, sure, a black racist thug can still get elected as a democrat, but democrats can no longer win on a state wide level.The most frustrating part of this is that there is little opportunity to defend the nation's freedom by voting/campaigning against a democrat. The Republicans of Texas can't turn to a democrat evildoing liar and say "Do what is right or we will oppose you in November." We already...

With the dems promising to oppose all Bush's judicial nominees for frivolous reasons and suggesting the any nominee not willing to promise that he/she would never vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, why aren't we and all other normal Americans describing the dems as baby killers at every turn?We know the dem members of the Judiciary Committee who are up for election in 2006. Some must be especially vulnerable. Why don't we have campaigns in place to remind then that their abortion-at-any-cost position on nominees carries risks? Why aren't all vulnerable dems being reminded of the risks that obstructionist tactics...

As I watch, read and listen to the wailings of the wounding and failing democrats, I see a renewed effort on their part to box us in with language.The lefties have always done a much better job of manipulating and using the language. Maybe that capability is compensation for being so bad with facts.Their servants in the media have begun a campaign to belittle us and discount us. They are building an image where the "red states" are the equivalent of extremists, religious fanatics, anti-sexual deviant and a dozen "code words" that will allow them to characterize or stereotype more...

I clicked through MSNBC last night as saw Swift Boat Hero O'Neill being interviewed by Pat Buchanan. O'Neill usually provides some new insight into the filthy lies and distortions that Traitor John ("Viet Cong") Kerry spreads.With Pat was a blonde guy named Lawrence Sanders (Saunders?) who was labeled as some sort of MSNBC correspondant. He may have been drinking.As O'Neill presented his litany of irrefutable fact, overwhelming proof of Kerry's mendacity and the refusal of Kerry to respond to any of these facts, Sauders started screaming, at the top of his lungs, "Liar." He was raving! Of course, he had...

Rather intentionally broadcast information he KNEW to be untrue with the intent of damaging President Bush and weakening Bush's chances for reelection.The original "60 Minutes" broadcast, it could be argued, was 1st Amendment protected. Each subsequent false and criminal defense of the initial lie was not. A prudent, an honest journalist, in the face of such overwhelming protest and proof would have agreed to reexamine the basics. Not Rather! For 12 nights, he used his exhalted position to to continue to spew false information. CBS and it's affiliates must be held responsible and brought to account for this criminal activity!The...

There is something mystical about these three events that happened almost at the same time: - In Washington, US Secretary of State Colin Powell made a sensational confession on NBC: CIA agents had deliberately misled their bosses and him about the presence of WMD in Iraq. His dramatic speech in the UN on February 5, 2003, featuring slides and other multimedia tricks to prove Iraq's possession of mobile biological weapons labs, has proved to be nothing but the involuntary untruth of a deceived man. - A bombing carried out by guerrillas in Baghdad killed the head of Iraq's Governing Council,...

<p>NEW YORK (AP) — They haven't got a name or a launch date yet, but the entrepreneurs who dream of launching a liberal radio network have just landed themselves a lead man: Comedian and best-selling author Al Franken. Progress Media and Franken told The Associated Press Tuesday they have reached an agreement for Franken to host a live, three-hour daily broadcast that would form the anchor of the programming schedule.</p>

In June, Pacifica Radio's Los Angeles station, KPFK-FM, hosted a thirty-hour marathon of Dr. Kwaku Person-Lynn's anti-Semitic "Afrikan Mental Liberation Weekend."  It was the first time this once-annual program appeared for almost a decade. It had been banned by station management in 1993, after a long, hard-fought pressure campaign to remove it.  Afrikan Mental Liberation Weekend typically includes claims that the Jews disproportionately participated in the slave trade and persecuted blacks; in the past, he responded to criticism by calling the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League a "psychotic, idiotic, European Jew."   He has regularly played tapes by Nation of...
