Caroline Glick has a great review of Barack Obama and his association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright. There's some interesting biographical background about Glick's growing up as a young white woman in Chicago admit a majority black community. This is a MUST READ for Freepers and all concerned Americans.

Caroline Click-— What is she not very knowledgeable and clever about? If she’s not married she should get so

She is married. An American olim to Israel and she's the Deputy Editor of the Jerusalem Post. She's the only Israeli featured on Townhall.

he simply began demonizing Muslims as a group.

And this is a bad thing because...?

I find the leftist media efforts to polish Obama’s tarnished halo almost as offensive as the ‘Great Wright Way’ weekly hate-whitey-hustle which Barry Obama thinks enough of to bring his daughters for the inculcation he has ‘enjoyed’ for twenty years.

This is perhaps not the best thread for you this evening, Sarge.

The point is that some blacks are bigoted against whites. Its not politically correct to say it but it exists.

I went to school in Hyde Park in the mid 70’s. We were instructed to carry a whistle when walking around campus, especially after dark. If someone attacks you, blow your whistle. If you hear a whistle, blow your whistle to create a ruckus. It was a comfort. Hyde Park is marginally better these days but the campus still has it's problems. I must say the only thing that happened to me was having my battery stolen when my car was parked on the Midway Plaisance. School was a great experience. The area was a bit scary.

Thanks for the post, GOP. I really enjoy Glick’s writing -— ever since she was embedded with our troops during invasion of Iraq. And this article, too, is right on the money.

Obama’s denunciation of Wright’s bigotry amounts to too little too late.

Re: 4

Hah! I was thinking the same thing.
Now, of course, it depends on what was actually said. Many mohammedans we know are very moral and upright individuals - that can't be denied.
At the same time, their professed foundational belief in a book that has satanic influences - is a clear danger to society.
What happens if/when they become more 'religious' and decide to follow the decrees of the koran/hadith?

I wish Mrs. Click provided more details regarding her objections to the speaker. Maybe they were well founded. Or maybe the other speaker had a point. There is nothing inconsistent with observing that there are many individuals who we'd categorize 'good' by the world standards, but also note that they profess a belief that is inherently destructive to our society (and just because they don't happen to be following that belief at the present moment is but a brief comfort).

Glick knows how to sell Islamofascism to liberals, by stating facts , not "right wing" bigotry, or so she says.

I prefer Anne Coulter's maxim: Invade all Muslim countries, conquer them and convert them all to Christianity. Then at least we would be squared off, eye to eye with the Islamofascist world caliphate movement.

Unlike Glick, I don't give a $hit whether liberals understand the threat of Islamofascism. I hope that lack of understanding gets their butts in some major, painful , slings: such as losing the November election.

Utter total agreement.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome is alive and well, and can happen with anyone of them. And when was the last time we heard a Muslim condemning their "brothers"' actions? I don't recall hearing it once.

Silence means support. It's called collaboration. We have the noisy collaborators (the American Left) and the silent collaborators (the Mooj in America).
