Helen Thomas Is Out, But What About Others?

Helen Thomas Is Out, But What About Others? By Judith Miller Published June 08, 2010 | FOXNews.com “Blessed are the peacemakers,” if you can find any in the Middle East. They seem to be in short supply these days. One place not to look is on the Gaza flotilla. According to a radio communication the IDF released over the weekend, when Israeli warships issued a calm, but forceful warning to the “peace” flotilla to change course from Gaza, which is under blockade, and head instead for the Israeli port of Ashdod, an unidentified man on one of the ships – it’s unclear whether he was on the now infamous Mavi Marmara -- replied, in English: “Go back to ...

Get Back to Africa by Mike Adams Author’s Note: The author would like to thank “Bob” who is really clever by Caucasian gentile standards. Left wing White House reporter Helen Thomas was recently forced to issue an apology to African American citizens. She stated bluntly, in front of a live microphone, that blacks should “get the hell out of America.” Thomas is a longtime White House correspondent who writes a column for Hearst newspapers. She made the comments on May 27th after a White House African American History event. Thomas was asked by a black reporter if she had “any comments on African Americans.” She replied, “Tell them to get the ...

Tea Party Drowning In Sea Of Hypocrisy

I'm done trying to hack through the tea party thicket of self-contradiction, self-delusion and self-serving positions. My last straw is Rand Paul, a tea party favorite and now Republican nominee for senator from Kentucky. What damns Paul wasn't the flap over his views on the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Presumably, Paul isn't a racist. He's just a privileged white guy -- a doctor and son of 11-term congressman Ron Paul. What makes Rand Paul so exasperating is his crashing hypocrisy on Medicare. The hero to the cause of smaller government and balanced budgets vows not to touch Medicare -- the biggest and fastest-growing expense on the federal balance sheet. Rand's ...

Our view on housing finance: Don't let Fannie and Freddie return to old neighborhood Updated 15h 11m ago As bailouts go, nothing quite matches the torrent of taxpayer money still pouring into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the housing giants that now guarantee nearly half of the nation's $11.7 trillion in mortgages. To cover loans that go sour, the federal government has already doled out almost $145 billion, and the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the final tab will be about $381 billion. That's about half the size of the 2008 bank bailout but, unlike that bailout, most of this money won't get paid back. And even now, there's little talk in ...

The Gaza Flotilla Attack Shows How Far Israel Has Declined

No explanation can justify or whitewash the crime that was committed, and no excuse can explain away the stupid actions of the government and the army. Israel did not send its soldiers to kill civilians in cold blood; this is the last thing it wanted. Yet, a small Turkish organisation, fanatical in its religious views and radically hostile to Israel, recruited to its cause several hundred seekers of peace and justice, and managed to lure Israel into a trap, because it knew how Israel would react, knew how Israel is destined and compelled, like a puppet on a string, to react the way it did. How insecure, confused and panicky a country must be, to act as Israel acted! With a combination of ...

Is Gulf Disaster Spilling into Obama's Approval Ratings?

We haven't written very much about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Needless to say, it's a real tragedy for people in the Gulf Coast states, a region which was hit hard both by the hurricanes of 2005 and by the economic hurricane that has hit the country over the past couple of years. I hope that those of you with means will consider spending some time down there. Without meaning to trivialize the situation, it does bear considering whether the incident is having any impact on Barack Obama's political fortunes. The hard evidence is mixed. This is Pollster.com's chart of Obama's approval ratings since the oil spill occurred. You can arguably see a point or two's ...

Of course, they were asking for it It's time the Israeli government's PR team made the most of its talents, and became available for hire. Then whenever a nutcase marched into a shopping mall in somewhere like Wisconsin and gunned down a selection of passers-by, they could be on hand to tell the world's press "The gunman regrets the loss of life but did all he could to avoid violence." Then various governments would issue statements saying "All we know is a man went berserk with an AK 47, and next to him there's a pile of corpses, so until we know the facts we can't pass judgement on what took place." To strengthen their case the Israelis have ...

Tina Fey Isn't Funny By Aaron Goldstein on 6.2.10 @ 6:07AM Are they kidding? That was my first thought when I heard The Kennedy Center had named Tina Fey the 2010 recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor last week. Fey will receive the honor in Washington D.C. on November 9. The ceremony will subsequently be broadcast on PBS as it has been since 2000. The Mark Twain Prize was established in 1998 "to recognize those who create humor from their uniquely American experiences." Past recipients include Richard Pryor, Carl Reiner, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin and Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels. In 2009, the award was bestowed upon Bill Cosby. The idea of ...

Israel has sparked global outrage. At least 15 people were killed when the Israeli military stormed a flotilla carrying pro-Palestinian activists on Monday. In addition to being a human tragedy, it is also a political catastrophe for Israel. It has provided its critics around the world with fresh ammunition. The pro-Palestinian organizers had described the fleet with which they had hoped to break through the Israeli sea blockade of the Gaza Strip on Monday morning as a "humanitarian aid convoy." But as the Israeli army stormed the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, the activists they encountered were in no way exclusively docile peaceniks. Some of the "peace activists" ...

Letting Rand Paul Twist in the Wind By Larry Elder www.JewishWorldReview.com | Libertarian Rand Paul, Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate from Kentucky, shocked many conservatives when he refused to give full-throated support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Act criminalized public sector racial discrimination, and struck down laws that required discrimination and segregation. But it went much further. It outlawed racial discrimination by private actors such as restaurant and hotel owners who refused to serve blacks. National Review's Rich Lowry, for example, wrote: "[T]he Civil Rights Act was the last spasm of the Civil War. The South had frustrated the ...

Joe Sestak and the phantom -- or was it? -- job offer Did the Obama administration offer him a job to get him the quit the race against Arlen Specter? It should be an easy question to answer. May 27, 2010 It's no secret that the Obama administration wanted Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) to drop his primary challenge to Republican-turned-Democrat Sen. Arlen Specter. But did President Obama's representatives try to entice Sestak into leaving the race by promising him a job? It's a simple question, and one that Sestak already has answered in the affirmative, but the administration continues to treat the issue as much ado about nothing. Actually, it's much ado about something. Yes, ...

Sarah Palin's fact-free commentary on Paul and BP

Has Sarah Palin learned anything since she was plucked from obscurity almost two years ago? Not that I can tell. It was not Palin's fault that she was woefully unprepared to be the Republican vice presidential nominee. For that one, blame the petulant, impetuous John McCain. But Palin has had ample time now, outside the crash course of a presidential campaign, to develop and exhibit some understanding of the issues. Her learning curve, from all the available evidence, is a flat line. Three unattractive Palin traits have, if anything, been amplified since the election: her unwillingness to buckle down and do the necessary preparation; her tendency to adopt what McCain adviser Steve ...

What’s behind the sudden crisis in Korea? Who benefits? Which nation’s nuclear arsenal is problematic? The U.S.-Israeli relationship has long been America’s Achilles heel. Our first president warned against “entangled alliances” particularly when, as here, there’s a “passionate attachment.” Our “special relationship” with this rogue state has placed the U.S. outside the same system of international law that we now seek to impose on others, including Iran. Our handling of the current crisis on the Korean peninsula could restore our tattered reputation. What’s the first issue that needs to be addressed? Here’s where you the reader ...

May 26, 2010 |  8:39 am During primary season, Sarah Palin's endorsement was seen as a gift from the heavens in Republican circles -- the seal of good housekeeping for "tea party" activists. Candidates who received the former Alaska governor's blessing soon soared in the polls, as money and volunteers poured in. Ditto the spotlight of national attention. Now, it's easy to wonder if Palin's political Midas touch has turned to rust. In Kentucky, the self-professed oracle for tea party anger has gotten himself in trouble with his mouth. First Rand Paul questioned the 1964 Civil Rights Act for forcing private businesses to integrate public spaces. ...

Another Day, Another Security Leak J. E. Dyer - 05.25.2010 - 5:51 PM The New York Times reported Monday that General David Petraeus issued a secret directive in September, expanding covert military operations in the Middle East. The author, Mark Mazzetti, states that the Times’ staff has viewed a copy of the document. Preparation for the article included speaking to government officials who discussed its contents only on condition of anonymity, because it’s classified. Fortunately, our information security usually works better than this. Leaks of national-security secrets are the exception and not the rule. But once again, someone on the government payroll, with a clearance, and ...

The whiners and complainers of the country -- tea partiers, far right conservatives, racial bigots, birthers, conservative Republicans and others -- feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction. In 2001, Bill Clinton handed George W. Bush a large surplus in the U.S. treasury, and it took Bush two years to turn it into a large significant deficit. In 2009, President Barack Obama is handed the largest federal deficit in history and an economy close to a real depression due to Republican big spenders who think the only answer is to lower taxes to the wealthy. The Democrats passed the stimulus plan that is getting people back to work, and the economy is starting to move in a ...

Gordon Duff: Assassination In Dubai, Israeli’s Warning To The World Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman “WE CAN KILL ANYONE, ANYWHERE FOR ANY REASON…ARE YOU LISTENING PRESIDENT OBAMA” When Israel sent 27 Mossad agents to a 5 star hotel in Dubai to murder Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a minor Hamas figure, it had nothing to do with Hamas or Dubai. It was a warning to President Obama and anyone else that nobody is safe and no reason is small enough to not justify a killing if key interests are involved, money, drugs, power and, least of all, the security of Israel. Mahmoud is said to be an “arms smuggler” who is traveling the world to get weapons into Lebanon for Hamas. As Lebanon ...

(CBS) There are various reasons being given for the rise of the Tea Party, and you heard several more today. But here's what I'm wondering: Are we just seeing history repeat itself? In modern history - to me, that means during my lifetime - political upheavals have generally been followed by the out party going too far . . . Republicans too far to the right, Democrats too far to the left. Here's what I mean: In 1960, after John F. Kennedy's election and subsequent death, Lyndon Johnson came to power and caused a sea change in American politics. He launched the Great Society programs, and passed the 1964 Civil Rights bill. Republicans responded by throwing out the ...

May 24 (Bloomberg) -- The Arizona Republican Party, following hard-fought primaries, plans a victory dinner in Phoenix on Aug. 27. There is a perfect speaker: former California Governor Pete Wilson. Arizona Republicans believe they’re riding a big anti- illegal immigration wave to success in November. Wilson can regale them with how he pursued a similar strategy in 1994, winning re-election with 55 percent of the vote after embracing Proposition 187 to cut off state-funded education and health programs for children of illegal immigrants. Wilson might also remind his political neighbors that since then the only other member of his party to win a major statewide election is the ...

Jimmy Carter won the White House in 1976 by riding the wave of anger and disillusionment that followed Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon. Carter tapped into that anger with the slogan "I will never lie to you." An angry electorate, disgusted with Nixon, decided that was reason enough to give Carter the presidency. He won, in large part, because he made it clear that he wasn't Richard Nixon. Pundits called Carter a political genius. Four years later, however, he was a political pariah. Voters embraced Ronald Reagan because he wasn't Jimmy Carter, proving that good slogans do not necessarily produce good government. Unlike Carter, Reagan had more than slogans. He ...

Rand Paul and Robert Bork are soul mates

I’m having a flashback to the 1987 confirmation battle over Robert Bork. Not surprising, with a pending Supreme Court nomination, except my flashback has nothing to do with Elena Kagan. It’s about Rand Paul, the Republican Senate nominee from Kentucky, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Bork and Paul are ideological soul mates. For those whose perspective on the rejected Bork nomination is that it was such a skewed pummeling that it led to the creation of a new verb -- Borking -- here’s a reminder. Writing in The New Republic in 1963 about the proposed civil rights act, Bork inveighed against a principle of "unsurpassed ugliness” -- not of racism, mind you, but of ...

Rand Paul's victory over the GOP machine pick Trey Grayson is a stunning victory for grass roots Americans, and a stunning blow to the Republican establishment. Dr. Paul's victory is a political nightmare for the Republican Party, which wants the momentum, money, manpower and votes of the "Tea Party" activists and other angry voters. But the GOP establishment trembles over candidates who are actually principled when it comes to fiscal liberty, allowing only Christian marriage, and outlawing all child killing by abortion. This is a huge quagmire for the GOP. Old line party hacks like Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and Pat Buchanan, and Mitch McConnell are trying to co-opt the ...

A number of liberal writers have included or featured me in essays about the Rand Paul flap.

I do not, I admit, know whether or not Rand Paul is a racist, or simply misguidedly naive. But I do know that this conservative, libertarian idea — that private ownership trumps civil rights — is nothing more than bigotry dressed up in the garb of “principle.” Then, Gabriel Winant: Various figures who stand a few notches in toward the mainstream from Paul have made arguments similar to Weigel's. It was a mere theoretical fancy, they say, nothing ...
