See #74

He was superb.

This- from someone who truly can't stand him.

I take everything McCain spouts with a large grain of salt.

Calling for open war against Israel.
Syrian US ambassador is claiming CNN is not showing what is really happening in Lebanon. More and more people getting killed. Calling attacks barbarious. His bottom line? It's all the US fault.

Idea! When NautiNurse does the live hurricane threads- she starts a new one- new date- each day...it worked really well.

I get so angry with these so-called, 24 hour news" cable channels...

They KNOW that with the time difference...that what is going on over there is in the middle of the night here..and that we ARE interested in this.

Especially during THIS weekend...I would think they would be 24 hours on this...because it is really ratcheting up, and it seems like every hour, we are hearing new pronouncements from there.

The Syrians may want to have a look over their shoulder before they start running their mouths.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This is the same John McCain I just saw in a live shot in front of an IOWAN BARN? right?

Never get in the way of John McCain and a campaign camera.

After the 1979 Islamic Revolution a little known clandestine Islamist group remerged from the ashes. Formed in 1953 with a radically anti-Bahai and anti-Sunni ideology the Hojjatiehs flourished during the Revolution that ousted the Shah. The fiery, respected Sheik Hamud Halabi urged the Hojjatiehs to vote in favor of the Velayat-e-Faqih form of government in the referendum mainly due to fear of a communist takeover. Velayat-e-Faqih, the "guardianship of the jurisconsult" is the modern political doctrine set out by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. In his book of Jurist governmental rule he addressed the role of the clergy in the government. Under...

Good point.

OMG...if it is that squeaky fast talking guy from Syria...it will be a HOOT!

[homemom]

Colmes is almost always on the "wrong" side . . .he's so pitiful!

Two questions:
1. Does Israel have enough nukes to take out Syria, Lebanon, Iran, et al?? and . . .

2. How close do you suppose they are to doing just that?

[RDTF]

Alan is no match for any of them, especially Col Hunt, lol

Today Col Hunt said on Dayside that he was praising the Isreali Ambassador to the UN and thinks we should adopt him...it was funny.

[BlessedByLiberty]

It is disheartening to watch Alan Colmes defend the rights of people who want to destroy the Jewish people - and not just in this latest escalation, either.

Hannity is a better, stronger defender of the Jews and Israel than is Colmes.
