Juan Williams: Missouri's Anti-ObamaCare Ballot Irrelevant - Only Old White People Voted For It

Newsbusters "Isn't it wonderful how much race is now brought into virtually every discussion about politics?
"I thought Barack Obama was going to change all that.
"On the other hand, if Williams and his ilk think the older white vote is irrelevant, they're going to be tremendously surprised in November.
"After all, it is indeed older white people that typically vote in off-year elections when the White House isn't at stake.
"As such, either Juan doesn't know this - which seems impossible given his years covering politics - or he was being a tad disingenuous this fine Sunday morning.
"Regardless of which, he should be rather embarrassed about his performance."   Noel Sheppard

A Rather Angry America

Victor Davis Hanson "We see the arrested adolescence and hypocrisy that come from that sermonizing generation, whether in Al Franken’s puerile face-making, the ideologically driven suicide at Newsweek, the steady destruction of the New York Times, John Kerry’s tax-avoiding yacht, the Great Gatsby Clinton wedding, Michelle on the Costa del Sol, Nancy Pelosi’s jet, Tim Geithner’s tax skipping, or the constant race-card playing of a Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters. Yes, one walk across the Yale or Stanford campus circa 1975, and one could see pretty clearly what sort of culture that bunch would create when it came of age and was handed power."

Rosie O'Donnell's Staffer: Ground Zero Mosque Opponents Like Nazis

Newsbusters "Into this fracas came O'Donnell, with the peace offering that radical Islam and radical Christianity are very similar:
"O'DONNELL: It's hard that people are associating [Islam] with terrorism. There are radical extremists in every religion, and it doesn't negate the teachings or the values of the religion, or the vast majority of people who follow the religion. "

Pajamas Media "It was a California connection that had brought our small group of Silicon Valley Boy Scouts and dads to this quiet corner of the Potomac, where a classic early battle of the Civil War occurred."

The Separation Between Muslims and Taste

Townhall "Building a mosque at Ground Zero is like OJ’s mom putting a glamour shot of Orenthal over Nicole Brown’s gravestone. In other words, it’s very wrong and extremely disgusting, as every person with a lick of decency would agree. " Doug Giles

Not Your Father's Cordoba   "...if 2,000 or so people will eventually pray regularly at the proposed Ground Zero mosque (a figure suggested by the backers of this initiative), then it is likely that 200-300 of them will embrace Islamist ideas. But it’s no big deal, right?" David Stokes

A Muslim victim of 9/11: 'Build your mosque somewhere else'

Washington Post "The Iranian revolution compelled my family to flee to America when I was 12 years old. Yet, just over two decades later, the militant version of our faith caught up with us on a September morning. I still identify as a Muslim. When you are born into a Muslim family, there is no way around it, no choices available: You are Muslim. I am not ashamed of my faith, but I am ashamed of what is done in its name. " Neda Bolourchi lives in Los Angeles.

Sweetness and Light "Activists and human rights workers say they are glad that Aisha is getting treatment but thousands of other women are victims of domestic violence in Afghanistan.
"Perhaps these activists and human rights workers should stop complaining and join the US military and volunteer for combat in Afghanistan.
"After all, what other meaningful force in the world stands opposed to these miscreants?"

Japan tanker was damaged in a terror attack, UAE says (drilling off US waters still banned.)

BBC "A statement signed by a "battalion" of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, which is linked to al-Qaeda, said one of its suicide bombers was responsible for the blast.
"The claim, posted on a website used by Islamist militants, could not be independently verified, and the group has made false claims in the past."
