Three from American Thinker on Rush Limbaugh

1. "What you can do to protest the NFL's attitude toward Rush Limbaugh :"...." If you want to take action Molten Thought blog has already started a Facebook group." 2. "Limbaugh Targeted By Obama Official"...."With control over banks, insurance companies, car companies, media (sports media included) and unions (like the NFL players union), Obama tentacles seem to penetrate into nearly every corner of the nation." 3. "Letter to Rush Limbaugh "....So hang in there my brother. Thanks for being you. We love ya man! God bless, Lloyd Marcus, (black) Unhyphenated American!"

White House Fox News basher names her favorite philosopher: It's Mao

By Rick Moran "Beyond ideology is the idea that the Obama White House must "sell" his radical agenda. Mao used the barrel of a gun. Obama uses soothing rhetoric and staged presentations to hide his far left programs, thus making them more palatable for people to digest. Either way, it spells disaster."

Iranian Dissidents Speak Out

By Max Boot "John Hannah, has an interesting op-ed in the L.A. Times that challenges the conventional wisdom that stiffer sanctions and, even more so, military action would only unite the Iranian people around their regime. That’s not the message he received from a gathering of Iranian dissidents in Europe last week. Their view..."

Lighter guns, more dead tangos

Blackfive "U.S. Army infantry units are fighting in the mountains of Afghanistan with a special operations forces machine gun that’s 30 percent lighter than the standard M240B but still packs the killing power of 7.62mm NATO."...."Dave Hall, a retired Navy SEAL team senior chief petty officer, described the MK 48 as “simple to operate, simple to take apart” and “very, very reliable.”"

National Review "experts" out of their lanes

Uncle Jimbo in Blackfive "Andy McCarthy is a brilliant legal mind and one of the top strategists in our battles against terror in the courts. He prosecuted the blind sheikh and continues to work toward policies that enable us to dismantle terror networks and deal with captured terrorists. On military strategy and tactics, not so much."

The Search for the Wikipedia Libelist (important update)

Ralph Alter, American Thinker "While others have noted this in various forums, no one seems to have made the connection that this IP address is used as a gateway by the law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP (see here, for example) that all users from that IP address come from the pbwt.com domain.)"The firm provides a wide array of legal services with a broad spectrum of politically correct causes served:"

Is the 'Obama effect' turning the world against Israel?

Haaretz "In the eyes of Israel's enemies, the election of Barack Obama has turned what was considered the unwavering American support of Israel into something that is not taken for granted any more. And when the nuclear-producing Ahmedinejad calls the Holocaust a lie, it is clear whom he is threatening."

Debacle in Moscow

by Charles Krauthammer "The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and "reset" buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naivete, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels."

A $250 bribe to help the ObamaCare medicine go down.

WSJ "The Democrats are scrounging to get seniors to support their healthcare plan. Then Barack Obama comes along and says he will give every senior citizen a $250 check. Any connection?" Neal Boortz

Sharpton’s Corporate Sponsors Funded Anti-Rush Limbaugh Campaign

Link "...American Honda, Anheuser Busch, Colgate-Palmolive, Comcast, Entergy, Ford Motor Company, Home Depot, Johnson & Johnson, Macy’s, PepsiCo, Pfizer and Wal-Mart. Sponsorship reportedly cost $50,000." Contact info for these companies in the article. Oh, no! Oh no! Not Home Depot! Cartoon: Glenn McCoy, Townhall

My letter to Home Depot: "It deeply concerns me that one of my favorite stores as a remodeler/home improvement hobbyist is a contributor to Al Sharpton's organization. The man is a racist shake-down artist whose power is increased by those he intimidates and extorts. I regret that Home Depot is one such company and ask that you please not give this man one more cent. Thank you."

The Truth About Jackson, Sharpton and CNN's Sanchez (with Sources)

Rush Limbaugh "No liberal would ever be treated like this, no matter how foulmouthed. I mean, there are rappers that own parts of NBA teams. Lyrics to their songs we couldn't play on this radio show. They're celebrated." Check the links at the bottom for the sources of Rush's information. Here: A bunch of links on this whole kerfuffle from Google. Knock yourself out.

Afghan war debate endangers U.S. troops: veterans

Yahoo News ""The extremists are sensing weakness and indecision within the U.S. government, which plays into their hands," said Thomas J. Tradewell Sr., a Vietnam veteran and head of VFW. That was "evidenced by the increased attacks in Afghanistan as well as Pakistan," he said."
