Young Boys Rescued From The Cowardly Taliban (McClacthy asks tough questions in hard hitting interview)
Taragana - ISLAMABAD — Security forces have rescued several children forcibly recruited by the Taliban, allegedly to be used as fighters or suicide bombers, and there could be hundreds more of them, officials said Tuesday....
...Lt. Gen. Nadeem Ahmed, who heads a special support group tasked with handling the return of people displaced by three months of fighting in the Swat Valley and surrounding areas, said he had met with nine boys rescued from the Taliban.
Ahmed said on state-run TV that the children had told him there were many more, possibly hundreds, like them.
Rosenberg told Gordon:
"Have you ever had a red hot poker shoved up your ass?
Have you ever had a broomstick shoved up your ass?
How would you know how it feels if it never happened to you?
Admit it, you liked it."
Rosenberg:
"routinely labeled my colleagues in the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Justice Department, as well as her peers in the press, as 'bitches,' 'stupid,' 'lazy,' 'incompetent,' 'Nazis,' 'Saddam Hussein-like,' etc."
Fox News: Michelle Malkin Exposes Obama’s “Culture of Corruption”
On the Tuesday “Glenn Beck Program,” the host threw a spotlight on bestselling author Michelle Malkin’s new book, Culture of Corruption, which is subtitled “Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks, and cronies.”
Beck asked Malkin to tell him “a little bit about the idea and the philosophy of being a community organizer and remaking America. What does that mean to Barack Obama?”
Later on the Today Show, Matt Lauer did his best at trying to defend the Obamas, showing frustration when he couldn’t get Malkin to change her evil ways.
SIX months into the Obama ad ministration, it should now be clear: Hope and Change came to the White House wrapped in brass knuckles.
Ask the Congressional Budget Office. Last week, President Obama spilled the beans on the "Today Show" that he had met with CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf -- just as the number crunchers were casting ruinous doubt on White House cost-saving claims.
Yes, question the timing. The CBO is supposed to be a neutral scorekeeper -- not a water boy for the White House.
But when the meeting failed to stop the CBO from issuing more analysis undercutting the health-care savings claims, Obama's budget director Peter Orszag played the heavy. In a public letter, he warned the CBO that it risked feeding the perception that it was "exaggerating costs and underestimating savings."
Message: Leave the number-fudging to the boss. Capiche?
TV bosses 'should face sack' if they don't hit ethnic targets, says incoming BBC executive Daily Mail UK
One of the BBC’s top black executives has called for TV bosses to be sacked if they fail to meet racial diversity targets. Patrick Younge, who is set to take over at BBC Vision, the corporation’s programme-making section, claimed there was not enough ‘internal pressure’ for change. He has said the targets should be treated like financial aims, suggesting that if bosses miss them they should pay the consequences. His comments may be particularly embarrassing for the corporation’s top executives – as the BBC has failed to hit its own targets.
Never reluctant to stand up for himself, Dobbs on his radio program Tuesday took aim at those in the media who are "trying to silence their opponents and their competitors in the public marketplace of ideas," in particular MSNBC's Rachel Maddow who he referred to as a "teabagging queen."
Ewwww, I though that was Anderson? What am I missing here?
Diversity is the most overused, overrated word in the language. It's become clique and causes uncontrollable eyerolling when the MSM rolls it out in headline after headline, story after story. It's divisive and the child of wimpass liberals trying to tame their wimpass feelings of guilt. In newsrooms, the boss-mandated diversity pushes have created more hatred than acceptance. You can't demand diversity. It doesn't work that way you clueless executive editors.
Obama is such a dolt, he dreams up all these unelected Czars to get around accountability to the voters. Well, voters are starting to speak to their 2008 electoral mistake, the honeymoon is over. Witness this stupid Czar: ------ Obama’s Science Czar Said a Born Baby 'Will Ultimately Develop Into a Human Being’
During the election, I enjoyed telling people I was voting for "the spook." People looked at me funny. I told them I meant former CIA employee Bob Barr. "Why ... What did you think I meant? Racist!"
Posters here have been writing for months about the Chicago style thugs that have taken over our political system. The Black Panthers brandishing their big sticks at voters should have been a warning, but the corrupt media tried to hide their actions, and the phony AG Holder, just dismissed their abominable behavior as “boyz will be boyz”. Malkin nails the liberals’ ugly hides right to the wall. That is why they hate her so ‘Barry, Barry’ much!

Obama needs a radical change on healthcare to save his presidency timesonline.co.uk
In any country other than the United States, it’s hard to feel the intensity of the national dispute over healthcare. It’s consuming Barack Obama’s presidency, and so it should. He’s right to have told Americans that they can’t afford their medical system (that is genteel understatement) and that it’s going to bankrupt their Government soon.
But he’s wrong in the way he’s trying to solve it — including his curious detachment from the details of the plan that will make or break his presidency. Why has his grand notion gone so badly adrift?

Did Fox News commentator calls Barack Obama racist? Telegraph (U.K.)
A Fox News Channel commentator, Glenn Beck, said he believed President Barack Obama was a racist.
Beck made the statement during a guest appearance on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Mr Obama had exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture".
His remarks came during a discussion over Mr Obama's reaction to the arrest of the Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates junior
Mr Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at his home.
A spokesman for Mr Obama said the White House had no comment.
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."
Well then, should the UK ban Obama from traveling there because he’s a racist, or Glenn Beck as a vile hater, who shouldn’t be allowed in the same country with all of those gentle Islamic folk.
9:49 AM mentions Limbaugh, that means Rush nailed them again today. The Dems decided to target Rush Limbaugh per Saul Alinsky's book ‘Rules for Radicals’. Shhhh, don’t tell them every time they attack Limbaugh, he adds more listeners to his radio program. Let it be a surprise!

Dan Rather wants Obama to help save the news (Aspen Daily News)
Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night in an impassioned speech at the Aspen Institute.
“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said.
Such a commission on media reform, Rather said, ought to make recommendations on saving journalism jobs and creating new business models to keep news organizations alive.
I have watched Glenn Beck several times. He is not hateful in the least. He does comment on what he sees as problems in the USA. I would gather that is his job. That liberals immediately label anyone not toeing the Dems talking points line illuminates their weakness. I would bet the liberals calling Limbaugh, and Beck names can’t even understand the points being made. Liberals imagine themselves as the enlightened ones, good grief, what a laugh!
Re: ‘Kevin had a good idea. Unfortunately for us, he let the far right nutjobs hijack his blog.’
FYI, the leftists had a blog, The Gannett Blog. However, the liberals couldn’t stand the truth posted by enlightened employees who knew what they were talking about. They attacked the host until he retired early. Liberal will eat their own. Besides, go read the objectives of this blog again. Our host is a conservative, and proudly states so, it seems to me. Why you expect liberal losers to gather here is beyond me.

Good one! ACORN was born in Chicago, Rev. Wright baptized it, Daley anointed them committeemen, and the Bam handpicked their crooks to help him along. Did you read all of the Rogers thread yesterday? We need to take a closer look at Bro Rogers. I came in late, but what I followed up on was eye-opening to say the least.
Talk about a teachable moment: “Black Cop says she voted for Obama, but NEVER will again.” I hope she extrapolates that new found wisdom out to all Democrats.
Obama plans to frolic at the beach in a exclusive mansion while working Americans look for the nonexistent jobs he promised. Why yes, raise taxes on these non-productive louts. The usual smoke and mirrors strategy doesn’t quite conceal the deception planned by our Beach Boy. Perhaps our songster can find the appropriate song for this new Smoking-Joe fraud.

Chicago Sun Times ^ | March 2008
WASHINGTON -- The University of Chicago released a statement Thursday saying Sen. Barack Obama "served as a professor" in the law school -- but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed on Friday. ["He did not hold the title of professor of law,"] said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky.. Via: FreeRepublic.com
“You'd think some enterprising lefty would launch a McClatchy blog” *** What happened to that McClatchy blog? I seem to remember they spammed this blog hundreds of times, with their blog address. Maybe the hard work of keeping up a blog was beyond them? Liberal just want to ruin a successful blog using their hateful trolls. We welcome the hits, it all adds up to success for McC W.
Obama lies, say it isn’t so. Perhaps Obooma is not a constitutional scholar either. His recent socialism takeover plans would point in that direction, IMO.

President of black sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha sued by members Chicago Sun Times
Members of a prominent Chicago-based sorority are suing to oust their national president -- former Chicago Housing Authority comptroller Barbara McKinzie -- saying she misappropriated funds and commissioned a $900,000 wax figure of herself.
She also is accused of taking nearly $400,000 for personal expenses and arranging for a $4,000 monthly stipend to be paid to herself after she leaves office.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Detroit metropolitan area held its position of having the highest unemployment rate among major U.S. cities, with the rate surging more than 2 percentage points to above 17%, the government reported Wednesday.
The jobless rate in the Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan area rose to 17.1% last month from 14.9% in May. It was the highest of 49 urban centers with more than 1 million inhabitants in the Labor Department report.
The Detroit area also suffered the largest year-over-year increase in unemployment of any major urban center. The rate is up 8.1 percentage points from 9% in June 2008.

Hassan Butt, 29, also accused officers of acting "like the Gestapo" and asked them: "Why are you treating me like a Paki?" Butt, who once admitted having claimed he was a terrorist to make money from the media, was convicted of committing a racially aggravated public order offence by District Judge Diana Baker at Manchester Magistrates Court.
(edit) He also asked officers who arrested and searched him: "Do you like feeling Pakis up?"
Butt, defending himself, admitted he used the words Paki and Gestapo and accepted he used the word hooligan, and possibly the word white, but denied calling the police rednecks.
Judge Baker told him: "You demonstrated towards the officers hostility based on their membership of a racial group."
Butt, was fined £200 and ordered to pay £100 costs and a victim surcharge of £15.
Judge Baker added: "I take seriously any form of racist abuse and feel the courts must strive to protect people."
Butt has previously admitted feeding untruths to journalists in order to "cash in" and having plans to write an autobiography called Leaving Al Qaida: Inside The Life And Mind of A British Jihadist.

Girl with Half Her Brain Missing Lives Normal Life: Researchers Amazed (HOPE FOR NANCY PELOSI?)
July 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Scientists are stunned to discover that a ten-year-old German girl's brain has rewired itself to allow her to see out of one eye as though she has two, even though half of her brain tissue was entirely missing from birth.
In a report published this week in the online version of the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Lars Muckli, a neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, said, "Despite lacking one hemisphere, she's capable of living a normal life."
The girl, called AH in the study, was born with only one cerebral hemisphere after the right side of her brain stopped developing at seven weeks gestation. She was also missing most of her right eye. Neurological researchers are astonished that an fMRI revealed her retinal ganglion-cells "changed their predetermined crossing pattern" and re-mapped in her brain to create nearly normal bi-scopic vision.

Transsexual attacks priest during Mass in Italy (cna)
The transsexual man who attacked a priest at St. Babila in Milan Milan, Italy, Jul 29, 2009 / 04:12 pm (CNA).- Police in Milan detained a Brazilian transsexual on Sunday after he stripped naked in front of the altar during Mass and began to attack the priest who was presiding over the Mass.
The incident occurred at the Church of St. Babila at the 8:30am Mass on Sunday.
According to ANSA news agency, the subject entered the church and approached the altar, where he stripped naked. “Afterwards he took a pole used by the sacristan to close doors and approached the celebrating priest. Several people in congregation tried to stop him, and the man went to the baptismal chapel and began striking a commemorative plaque full of money, which he tried to steal.
Police arrested the Brazilian man and charged him with theft, property damage, public disruption and resisting arrest.
The people here continue to vote for Democrats, how sorry can you feel for them? The auto, teacher and state workers’ unions have ruined this state. There is no hope. That this failed state receives money from other states is next to criminal. Money down a rat hole is what the bailout will be. Young people fled this state until the recession, and they will again when they can find a job. The teacher’s union is so corrupt, they don’t even realize the loss of young people means future school children as well. Young people are caught in a nightmare without end.
Does everyone know Michigan is a "closed shop" state, which means workers can be forced to join a union ...teachers must join a union.
So are we gonna get to see the white house beer garden...I hear they found a couple of cases of vintage "Billy Beer" in the basement hidden under some old liberal newspapers...

Beck made the statement during a guest appearance on the "Fox & Friends" morning show. He said Mr Obama had exposed himself as a person with "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture".
His remarks came during a discussion over Mr Obama's reaction to the arrest of the Harvard University scholar Henry Louis Gates junior
Mr Gates is black and was arrested for disorderly conduct by a white policeman over a misunderstanding about a break-in at his home.
A spokesman for Mr Obama said the White House had no comment.
"I'm not saying he doesn't like white people," Beck said. "He has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist."
So I guess that whole “magic negro” mystique was blown with the Gates issue.
He told people that he hates whitey, has a deep seated resentment of white people, and it anything BUT “post-racial”.
His election didn’t “solve” anything. And guilt ridden white libs just got slapped in the face with this fact.
Well then, should the UK ban Obama from traveling there because he’s a racist, or Glenn Beck as a vile hater, who shouldn’t be allowed in the same country with all of those gentle Islamic folk.
9:49 AM mentions Limbaugh, that means Rush nailed them again today. The Dems decided to target Rush Limbaugh per Saul Alinsky's book ‘Rules for Radicals’. Shhhh, don’t tell them every time they attack Limbaugh, he adds more listeners to his radio program. Let it be a surprise!

Dan Rather wants Obama to help save the news (Aspen Daily News)
Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather called on President Barack Obama to form a White House commission to help save the press Tuesday night in an impassioned speech at the Aspen Institute.
“I personally encourage the president to establish a White House commission on public media,” the legendary newsman said.
Such a commission on media reform, Rather said, ought to make recommendations on saving journalism jobs and creating new business models to keep news organizations alive.
SIMPLY WRITE WHAT YOUR AUDIENCE WANTS
I have watched Glenn Beck several times. He is not hateful in the least. He does comment on what he sees as problems in the USA. I would gather that is his job. That liberals immediately label anyone not toeing the Dems talking points line illuminates their weakness. I would bet the liberals calling Limbaugh, and Beck names can’t even understand the points being made. Liberals imagine themselves as the enlightened ones, good grief, what a laugh!
“So I guess that whole “magic negro” mystique was blown with the Gates issue.”
Can Halfricans be in the “magic negro” mystique in the first place?
Re: ‘Kevin had a good idea. Unfortunately for us, he let the far right nutjobs hijack his blog.’
FYI, the leftists had a blog, The Gannett Blog. However, the liberals couldn’t stand the truth posted by enlightened employees who knew what they were talking about. They attacked the host until he retired early. Liberal will eat their own. Besides, go read the objectives of this blog again. Our host is a conservative, and proudly states so, it seems to me. Why you expect liberal losers to gather here is beyond me.

Good one!
ACORN was born in Chicago, Rev. Wright baptized it, Daley anointed them committeemen, and the Bam handpicked their crooks to help him along. Did you read all of the Rogers thread yesterday? We need to take a closer look at Bro Rogers. I came in late, but what I followed up on was eye-opening to say the least.
Talk about a teachable moment: “Black Cop says she voted for Obama, but NEVER will again.” I hope she extrapolates that new found wisdom out to all Democrats.
Obama plans to frolic at the beach in a exclusive mansion while working Americans look for the nonexistent jobs he promised. Why yes, raise taxes on these non-productive louts. The usual smoke and mirrors strategy doesn’t quite conceal the deception planned by our Beach Boy. Perhaps our songster can find the appropriate song for this new Smoking-Joe fraud.
More Obama lies, Where does this end?

No 'Professor' Obama at U. of C. (Flashback, Lied on Resume)
Chicago Sun Times ^ | March 2008
WASHINGTON -- The University of Chicago released a statement Thursday saying Sen. Barack Obama "served as a professor" in the law school -- but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed on Friday. ["He did not hold the title of professor of law,"] said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky..

What happened to that McClatchy blog? I seem to remember they spammed this blog hundreds of times, with their blog address. Maybe the hard work of keeping up a blog was beyond them? Liberal just want to ruin a successful blog using their hateful trolls. We welcome the hits, it all adds up to success for McC W.
Obama lies, say it isn’t so.
Perhaps Obooma is not a constitutional scholar either. His recent socialism takeover plans would point in that direction, IMO.

ENGLAND'S BUTT VS McCLATCHY'S BIG BUTT REPORTER.
An Asian man (Muzzie) who called police officers "white redneck hooligans" has been found guilty of making racist remarks. (England)
Hassan Butt, 29, also accused officers of acting "like the Gestapo" and asked them: "Why are you treating me like a Paki?"
Butt, who once admitted having claimed he was a terrorist to make money from the media, was convicted of committing a racially aggravated public order offence by District Judge Diana Baker at Manchester Magistrates Court.
(edit) He also asked officers who arrested and searched him: "Do you like feeling Pakis up?"
Butt, defending himself, admitted he used the words Paki and Gestapo and accepted he used the word hooligan, and possibly the word white, but denied calling the police rednecks.
Judge Baker told him: "You demonstrated towards the officers hostility based on their membership of a racial group."
Butt, was fined £200 and ordered to pay £100 costs and a victim surcharge of £15.
Judge Baker added: "I take seriously any form of racist abuse and feel the courts must strive to protect people."
Butt has previously admitted feeding untruths to journalists in order to "cash in" and having plans to write an autobiography called Leaving Al Qaida: Inside The Life And Mind of A British Jihadist.
Rosenberg told Gordon:
"Have you ever had a red hot poker shoved up your ass?
Have you ever had a broomstick shoved up your ass?
How would you know how it feels if it never happened to you?
Admit it, you liked it."
Spike Lee Slams America, Lays Off Hugo Chavez (Big Hollywood) RACIST BIGOT HEARTS CHAVEZ
Filmmaker Spike Lee championed a free press Friday during a visit to Venezuela, where broadcasters are under pressure to avoid criticizing President Hugo Chavez’s leftist government. The director didn’t directly refer to the dispute in Venezuela, but he said there are “no circumstances” under which news media should be silenced. Lee’s never had a problem “directly referring” to America or Bush, so why do Venezuela and Hugo Chavez rate a pass?
Girl with Half Her Brain Missing Lives Normal Life: Researchers Amazed (HOPE FOR NANCY PELOSI?)
July 28, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Scientists are stunned to discover that a ten-year-old German girl's brain has rewired itself to allow her to see out of one eye as though she has two, even though half of her brain tissue was entirely missing from birth.
In a report published this week in the online version of the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Lars Muckli, a neuroscientist at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, said, "Despite lacking one hemisphere, she's capable of living a normal life."
The girl, called AH in the study, was born with only one cerebral hemisphere after the right side of her brain stopped developing at seven weeks gestation. She was also missing most of her right eye. Neurological researchers are astonished that an fMRI revealed her retinal ganglion-cells "changed their predetermined crossing pattern" and re-mapped in her brain to create nearly normal bi-scopic vision.

Several people in congregation tried to stop him, and the man went to the baptismal chapel and began striking a commemorative plaque full of money, which he tried to steal.
Police arrested the Brazilian man and charged him with theft, property damage, public disruption and resisting arrest.
The people here continue to vote for Democrats, how sorry can you feel for them? The auto, teacher and state workers’ unions have ruined this state. There is no hope. That this failed state receives money from other states is next to criminal. Money down a rat hole is what the bailout will be. Young people fled this state until the recession, and they will again when they can find a job. The teacher’s union is so corrupt, they don’t even realize the loss of young people means future school children as well. Young people are caught in a nightmare without end.
Does everyone know Michigan is a "closed shop" state, which means workers can be forced to join a union ...teachers must join a union.
A cop, the President and Gates walk into a bar...
So are we gonna get to see the white house beer garden...I hear they found a couple of cases of vintage "Billy Beer" in the basement hidden under some old liberal newspapers...
July 29, 2009 6:04 PM..."The teacher’s union is so corrupt, they don’t even realize the loss of young people means future school children as well."
And the Government is so corrupt they don't even realize that abortion means the loss of future tax payers!
