Ann Coulter: Mumia's The Word*


McPhail
Ann Coulter  "With death penalty opponents so fixated on Davis' race -- he's black -- it ought to be noted that all the above witnesses are themselves African-American. The first man Davis shot in the car that night was African-American.
"I notice that the people so anxious to return this sociopathic cop-killer to the street don't live in his neighborhood.
"There's a reason more than a dozen courts have looked at Davis' case and refused to overturn his death sentence. He is as innocent as every other executed man since at least 1950, which is to say, guilty as hell." *Mumia Abu-Jamal  

Davis
Troy Davis case  "On August 28, 1991, the jury, composed of seven blacks and five whites, took under two hours to find Davis guilty on one count of murder and the other offenses. Davis and three of his family members testified during the sentencing phase. In a final address to the jury, Davis pleaded, "Spare my life. Just give me a second chance. That's all I ask." He told jurors he was convicted for "offenses I didn't commit." As the death penalty was being requested by the prosecutors, MacPhail's family members and friends were not allowed to testify. On August 30, 1991, after seven hours of deliberation, the jury recommended the death penalty and Davis was sentenced to death."

California: Orange County Couple Threatened With $500-Per-Meeting Fines For Home Bible Study…

Weasel Zippers  "An Orange County couple has been ordered to stop holding a Bible study in their home on the grounds that the meeting violates a city ordinance as a “church” and not as a private gathering.
"Homeowners Chuck and Stephanie Fromm, of San Juan Capistrano, were fined $300 earlier this month for holding what one city official called “a regular gathering of more than three people” that requires a conditional use permit, according to Pacific Justice Institute, the couple’s legal representation."

City demands Christians get permit for Bible study  "The newspaper said city records showed someone complained, however, and a code enforcement officer first gave them a verbal warning and then issued citations in May and June."
"“We don’t like lawsuits, but we have to stand up for what’s right. It’s not just a personal issue,” Stephanie Fromm told the newspaper. “Can you imagine anybody in any neighborhood, that one person can call and make it a living hell for someone else? That’s wrong … and it’s just sad.”"
"A trial is scheduled for Oct. 7."

If you think you've heard this before, the City of San Diego tried this same thing some time back but wound up apologizing. TD

Maddow Lets Jimmy Carter's Dishonesty About Israel Pass Unchallenged



"Israel also pulled out of southern Lebanon in 2000 after nearly two decades of occupation following its invasion in 1982 in an attempt to destroy the Palestinian Liberation Army. Five years later, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.
"What have these good-faith efforts brought to Israel? Suicide bombings on a scale unmatched anywhere in the world. Thousands of rockets from Hezbollah and Hamas, from north and south, indiscriminately targeting military and civilian alike. Kidnappings of its soldiers, including one, Gilad Shalit, whose whereabouts remain unknown after five years.
"Having conceded its hard-fought buffers in the Sinai, Gaza and Lebanon, a country the size of New Jersey is less able to defend itself from an unapologetic savagery intent on Israel's destruction."...

If Obama fails, does America fail?

Neal Boortz  "We are starting to see a growing trend among libs and progs.  The trend is this … If you do not want to see Barack Obama succeed, then you are against America and want our economy to fail.  The issue stems from a comment made by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.  He said in an interview somewhere, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
....
"If a doctor says “the single most important thing we want to achieve is to defeat this cancer” that doctor is not saying that he wants the patient to die. He wants the patient to be cancer-free so he will survive. Defeating Obama wouldn’t make America cancer-free. There’s still malignancies known as Pelosi, Hoyer, Reid and others … but it would be a nice start."

Mideast fail; Barry Rubin I accuse President Barack Obama of Destroying Western Interests in the Middle East, Helping Destabilize the Region, and Putting Millions of Lives in Jeopardy
"Do you think that’s extremist, crazy, can’t be true because you’re not seeing that stuff in the New York Times? You must be a right-wing Republican, you say?
"No, just a serious Middle East analyst."
...."So consider fairly and honestly the list of points below.":  Each is discussed in more depth.
Egypt:                                                      Gaza:
Syria:                                                       Saudi Arabia:
Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process:          Iran:
Israel:                                                      Empowering Islamism:
Turkey:                                                    Endangering the lives of American soldiers and civilians:
Lebanon:                                                 Libya:
Danger: Obama failed to realize it or to define properly friends and enemies.

Rejection of basic diplomatic principles:
http://www.mideasttruth.com/index.shtml
"The American people, Middle East allies, US. interests, and the world generally cannot afford another four years of misjudgment and reckless endangerment. Can Obama be trusted to deal with a nuclear-armed Iran, a radical Egypt supporting Hamas, a Turkish regime screaming about fighting Israel, a Palestinian movement that has thrown away any diplomatic alternative?"

That Palin smear: Can The Daily Caller survive?

Legal Insurrection  "The controversy is not that a convicted rapist would make such statements, but that The Daily Caller would run the clip with a bold traffic-grabbing headline and keep it there without so much as any commentary (which was not added until later).
"I can’t say it was the worst trashing of Palin I’ve ever seen, but it definitely was the worst I’d ever seen at a supposedly conservative website and one which has a high profile. While the post quoted Tyson, it was pure traffic-baiting using sexual violence against Palin as the tease."  ....



"Carlson tried to call it mere news reporting, but it was pure traffic baiting. Greta saw it for what it was, and Carlson just kept digging."

Daily Caller Runs For Cover Over Vile Palin Smear, Threatens Blogger With Lawsuit For Exposing It  "While the Caller item now comes with this disclaimer, obviously meant only as cover for their disgusting editorial judgment, it is only a late addition to the post after receiving more attention and increasingly broad condemnation."

Here is the Daily Caller's take on it.  "Leading the charge was Greta Van Susteren, who’s been calling Tucker Carlson names and making baseless allegations about his motives, while insisting she’s his friend." Jim Treacher (aka Sean Medlock)

Learn economics at the Tunnel Wall



A socialist attempts to explain why she thinks socialism will work...this time.

Many in the comments section of the above Youtube link take issue with this video, but it is very close to at least one "progressive" I know.

The University of Texas and Racial Preferences

Hans A. von Spakovsky  "Abigail Fisher’s application to the University of Texas at Austin in 2008 was rejected. Had she been black or Hispanic, she almost certainly would have been accepted — and so she and another student in a similar circumstance filed a lawsuit. So far, the federal courts have ruled against them, reinforcing the odious notion that colleges can discriminate on the basis of race — as long as the right people are being discriminated against.
"But that may soon change."
