Why won't any Republicans condemn the "Obama is a Muslim" myth?
Slate "Search for Christ on the White House Web site and the first item you'll find is the president's remarks at an Easter prayer breakfast. He didn't just welcome his "brothers and sisters in Christ," but also talked at length about why Christ's resurrection and the power of redemption meant so much to him. Previous presidents may have attended church, but Obama was doing something more. He was witnessing. Different churches may have different practices, but the ones I've attended don't usually greet such expressions of faith with scorn. The usual response is to say Amen."
Dem Strategist on Obama: “He Is a Walking Radioactive Disaster”
Gateway Pundit "His poll numbers are so morose that Democrats are planning ways to avoid his shadow, while Republicans plot strategies aimed at tying Obama to every incumbent member of Congress they can."
Cook Political Report "...Report's current outlook is for a Republican net gain of 35 and 45 seats, with the odds of an outcome larger than that range greater than the odds of a lesser outcome. A turnover of 39 seats would tip majority status into Republican hands. At this point, only 214 House seats are Solid, Likely or Lean Democratic, while 181 seats are Solid, Likely or Lean Republican, and 40 seats are in the Toss Up column."
Don't take too rosy an outlook or anything short of that will be cast as a Democrat moral win.

Anti-Semitic Incident at Ground Zero Mosque Counter Protest (updated)
Big Peace "...freedom of speech gets the best of one Ground Zero Mosque supporter and the dominoes fall from there:"....
"First the out-of-the-blue Israel hatred, then one of the pro-Ground Zero Mosque attendees attempts to flag the police on the videographer who expresses disagreement with Israel hatred, then the Israel-haters chant “bigots go home.” Ahh, the deep thinking and open-mindedness of the left."

Obama's Freaky Fridays
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion "Friday document dumps are a routine political tactic, but Obama's tactic of dropping political bombshells just as he is leaving town is a bit much."
Another Friday, Another Document Dump From June 18, 2010: "Every Friday for the last three weeks the Clinton Library has released tens of thousands of documents from Obama nominee Elena Kagan's time in the Clinton White House. Today's batch was no different: 80,000 plus were released today just before 5 pm, and initial reviews are still in progress."

The Left is in Full Retreat
Heritage "Politico reports: “Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. … The presentation also concedes that the fiscal and economic arguments that were the White House’s first and most aggressive sales pitch have essentially failed.” "....
"As satisfying as it is to see Obamacare’s supporters come to terms with the failure of their grand plan, it is not enough for conservatives to just say “no.” Conservatives must have real plans for reform if the American people choose to empower them. The Heritage Foundation’s Solutions for America chapter on Getting Health Care Reform Right recommends:"...

Moderate Republicans Key to Stopping Lame-Duck Threat
Pajamas Media "Last week the House of Representatives confirmed they fully intend to go along with Harry Reid’s plan to force a slate of far-left legislation on the country in a lame-duck session, when Rep. Tom Price forced a vote on the issue. Only six Democrats voted against allowing major policy changes in a lame-duck session.

Roger Ebert: Calls Sarah Palin Hitler, Says America Is At Fault for GZ Mosque Troubles
Gateway Pundit "In the end what we have here is Roger Ebert putting on his hate for his fellow Americans, excusing those that would stand against her, and rolling out one left-wing trope after another.
"I won’t be the first or the last to relate to this left-wing hack that he should stick with the fluff of movies and leave the real thinking to those more equipped for the effort."

Heckuva job, Mr. President.
Fred Barnes "Recovery summer, opposition to Arizona’s immigration law, negative campaigning, and intervention in the Ground Zero mosque dispute—call them Obama’s Four Disasters. As policy, they’re questionable. As political exercises, they’re losers. As clues about Obama, they’re evidence he’s lost his political knack.
"What was Obama thinking? These weren’t initiatives taken suddenly. They were carefully thought out and plotted, no doubt in expectation the president would gain politically and so would Democratic candidates. Whatever calculations the White House made, they were faulty."....
"Obama is not one to hold his tongue, no matter what the subject. He once again took the position of the elites against that of most Americans." (Emphasis gleefully added.)

Imam Rauf's Newly Discovered Explosive Audio Tapes (Updated)
Atlas Shrugs "The mosque "is going to be a magnet for radicals." Emerson is not opposed to the building of mosques. He is "opposed to the building of radical mosques." ......"Unfortunately 80% of the mosques in the United States are controlled by the Wahhabists. That's the reality. No one wants to admit it. They're the ones that attract terrorists.""

MUSLIM IS THE NEW CODE FOR RACISM
Boortz "Well who knew that we were still adding to this list? In the wake of this discussion over the Ground Zero Victory mosque, Obama faith has come into question again. One out of every five Americans believe Obama to be a Muslim. Well now, according to MSNBC, calling Barack Obama a Muslim is a backdoor way of calling him the "N-word." That's right .. even talking about Barack Obama and Islam in the same conversation is the latest way of implying that you really don't like Barack Obama because he is black."
Lenin's 'useful idiots' in the mosque debate "On Fox,liberal analyst Ellis Henican, dripping with elitism and condescension, states that people in his Manhattan neighborhood , near Ground Zero , generally have no problem with the Mosque (clearly sophisticates all) , while those in Idaho, no-doubt , oppose it by 99% (clearly rubes to the core). Yet, I would bet that the proportion of people in Idaho who went down and volunteered for military service after 9/11, or served in Afghanistan or Iraq , was a tad higher than the "best and brightest" living amongst old Ellis."
Obama was wrong to make the mosque issue a religious freedom issue "According to FBI estimates , 10 % of the mosques in the United States are associated with radical Jihadist ideology. Others estimate that 80% of mosques are dominated by the extremist Wahhabi ideology promoted by Saudi Arabia. ....
"President Obama could have explained that this is obviously not an issue of religious freedom. He could have defended America, its reputation, institutions and values. Instead, he reinforced the view that America is bigoted. For that, President Obama owes every American an apology" Moshe Dann
Gingrich: No Mosque at Ground Zero "Building this structure on the edge of the battlefield created by radical Islamists is not a celebration of religious pluralism and mutual tolerance; it is a political statement of shocking arrogance and hypocrisy.
"We need to have the moral courage to denounce it. It is simply grotesque to erect a mosque at the site of the most visible and powerful symbol of the horrible consequences of radical Islamist ideology. Well-meaning Muslims, with common human sensitivity to the victims’ families, realize they have plenty of other places to gather and worship. But for radical Islamists, the mosque would become an icon of triumph, encouraging them in their challenge to our civilization." Newt Gingrich
