"Early Friday morning, thugs presumably supporting President Obama beat up the son of Wisconsin State Senator Neal Kedzie outside of his apartment in Whitewater. Kedzie caught the two men removing a Romney sign outside of his apartment around two o'clock in the morning. After telling them to put the signs back, one of the thugs attacked Kedzie and then put him in a choke hold and continued to beat his head."
Legal Insurrection "I hope you have 2 minutes to watch a hard hitting video I made called American Hero 2012. It should convince undecided voters and FIRE UP the base! "I know everyone’s mind is on the debate tonight and most stories will be about that. This should help balance things in your news feed with other content.
"Romney needs to remind everyone that to make it even worse this miserable excuse of a president had the unmitigated gaul to stand in front of the U(seless) N(ations) and yet again offer an apology to our enemies, an apology for a privately made video that had absolutely NOTHING to do with the violence and MURDERS of our people just so he could cover his own butt for failing to answer Ambassador Stevens’ cry for help."
5 Crucial Questions for the Presidential Foreign Policy Debate
"Tonight’s final presidential debate will focus solely on foreign policy. Moderator Bob Schieffer announced that the topics will be: “America’s Role in the World,” “Our Longest War—Afghanistan and Pakistan,” “Red Lines—Israel and Iran,” “The Changing Middle East and the New Face of Terrorism,” and “The Rise of China and Tomorrow’s World.” Heritage’s foreign policy experts have written a series of tipsheets for prepping on each of these issues, featured on our Debate 2012 page and linked below."
Expect this at the debate tonight: WH Spin: No Evidence AQ Was Involved in Benghazi
"No evidence? That’s funny, considering the group behind the attack, Ansar al-Sharia, is viewed as al-Qaeda’s face in Libya, according to a Library of Congress report from this summer. Also, the intelligence community reportedly intercepted phone calls in which Ansar al-Sharia leaders bragged to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb leaders after the attack. Also, the State Department has designated Ansar al-Sharia a new alias for al-Qaeda in Yemen, etc." "Spinning Benghazi", posted here earlier.
Blackfive offers this point of view from a military blog:Why didn't Obama send military help in Libya? "Now there is a very interesting question that could actually come up during tonight's Presidential debate. CBS News has a devastating report about what was known about the attack while it was happening. "
...."They did nothing and watched on a drone feed hoping that the situation would change, but campaign slogans don't save lives. That takes making an actual gutsy call and as it turns out the Osama-slayer didn't have time to poll this one, so he loaded up AF one and flew to Vegas."
Big Journalism; Bob Schieffer's 2008 Pro-Obama Debate Record "Bob Schieffer, the moderator for the last of the three presidential debates in 2012, needs to be watched carefully; he has a clear partisan agenda that favors Barack Obama that was evident even in 2008. When he moderated the last presidential debate that year, he didn’t flinch from his Democratic Party mission."
Graham on Benghazi: 'A National Security Breakdown' " "I am totally convinced this is going to go down in history as one of the most major breakdowns of national security in a very long time," Grahama said. "It's Exhibit A of a failed national security strategy." " Watch the video below:
The Tucson Citizen calls the Graham-Durbin theBenghazi Smackdown: Lindsey Graham vs Dick Durbin And as Obama did in the second presidential debate, Durbin feigns indignation over the idea that Democrats would ever invent a narrative for political purposes. Instead he has tried to convince us that we didn’t hear what we heard, and we didn’t see what we saw.
Rage Against the Media "It might be statistically true that “Congress is on pace to make history with the least productive legislative year in the post-World War II era,” but to insinuate this is the fault of the House Republican majority is fiction.
"The U.S. Senate, under the failed “leadership” of “progressive” Harry Reid, has refused to allow a majority of House passed bills to even come to a vote in the U.S. Senate.
"The reason so many believe the House is to blame for this are the lies spread by “progressive” shills like Yahoo News, USA Today, ABC News and their ilk."
Spinning Benghazi "The L.A. Times says that “U.S. intelligence agencies…have found no evidence of Al Qaeda participation.” That is contradicted by numerous other accounts and by the Post’s latest version. The Post reports that intelligence “suggests the attack was spontaneous even if it involved militants with ties to al-Qaeda.”
"The Post adds: “The violence in Benghazi appears to have involved militants with ties to al-Qaeda in North Africa, but no evidence indicates that it was organized by al-Qaeda, or timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, officials said.”
"So either the attack did involve terrorists tied to al Qaeda, or it didn’t, depending on which report you read."
On Monday, Obama must come clean on Benghazi "Four Americans are dead, and the public is far from knowing the truth, either about the events that led to their murders or about the aftermath. Mitt Romney and the moderator must hold Obama accountable on Monday night. It may be our last chance to finally get some answers." Andrea Tantaros via Lucianne
Diane Sori "Today’s Op-ed is quite different as I was asked by a local campaign office to please compose a list of notable Romney supporters for dissemination. So here is that list and some of the names might come as quite a surprise for while the left loves to tout all the famous so-called ‘Hollywood celebrities’ who support Obama, Mitt Romney has NOT only celebrities from the entertainment field who support him (not all Hollywood leans left contrary to what the Dems believe), but also respected ‘people of name’ from varied important fields. All these people ‘BELIEVE IN AMERICA’ and believe that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan WILL turn our country around.
"And oh yes, the left tries to say that NO notable Blacks Americans support Romney...well how WRONG they are!
"Below is a list of just some of them..." Read on... Via Conservative Bloggers on Facebook
Michael Ledeen; Have The United States and Iran agreed for the first time to one-on-one negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program?
"I rather suspect that you don’t have to do anything to avoid an American military strike on Iran. I can’t imagine an Obama administration authorizing a military attack. An administration that can barely bring itself to fly air cover in Libya, and can’t bring itself to take any serious action in Syria, strikes me as very unlikely to unleash our armed forces against the mullahs."
....
"So what is happening? The most likely explanation is that Obama is still desperately seeking his grand bargain, the one that would validate his (and the Nobel Committee’s) claim to be a talented peace maker. That deal is not available, because the Iranians don’t want it. But he wants something to show for his efforts, so he settled for a big nothingburger: an agreement to talk some more."
However, following this article is this disclaimer: White House: NYT Report of U.S.-Iran Talks ‘Not True’
"The White House claimed this evening that a New York Times report saying that the U.S. and Iran have for the first time agreed to one-on-one nuclear talks isn’t true.
"The NYT quotes unnamed senior administration officials as saying Iran wants to wait after the presidential election is over to sit down and start talking — “a result of intense, secret exchanges between American and Iranian officials that date almost to the beginning of President Obama’s term,” states the paper." (Emphasis added)
Via I Acknowledge Class Warfare Exists, a site that claims Iran sanctions are working and that the Iranian rulers are pragmatic people, interested only in their survival and not in some religious martyrdom.
From Globes, Israel business news;We don't support Israeli attack, US tells Iran " "Yediot Ahronot" says that the US sent the confidential message to Iran in order to prevent an Iranian attack on US installations in the Persian Gulf, where the US has stationed aircraft carriers and has several military bases, which could face a real risk in the event of an Israeli attack."
LA Times "PARMA, Ohio -- If any doubt remained about how central the state of Ohio is to President Obama's reelection campaign, the sight of Bruce Springsteen and former President Clinton on stage at Cuyahoga Community College on Thursday made it clear."
"...Springsteen began strumming his guitar and singing "Promised Land." He went on to perform "Youngstown," "We Take Care of Our Own," "This Land is Your Land" and "Thunder Road," along with a new call-and-response tune that he wrote based on Obama's campaign slogan, "Forward." "
One Aspect of Springsteen's Obama Campaign Involvement Which Will Likely Be Ignored: His (and Obama's) Occupy Endorsements- ... "He had particular praise for OWS: "The temper has changed. And people on the streets did it. Occupy Wall Street changed the national conversation—the Tea Party had set it for a while. The first three years of Obama were under them." And he thinks OWS is directly responsible for certain Tiffanys-loving politicians talking about economic equality for the first time: "Nobody had talked about income inequality in America for decades—apart from John Edwards—but no one was listening. But now you have Newt Gingrich talking about 'vulture capitalism'—Newt Gingrich!—that would not have happened without Occupy Wall Street." "
Answers.comI am still looking for another source to substantiate this: "Yes, Bruce was a member of the Communist Party of the USA between 1978 and 1991. He resigned so as to further his music career but still pays on average 4.6 million dollars per year in donations to communist movements worldwide."
The marrying of music and the socialist philosophy began with Seeger and reaches a pinnacle with Springsteen. I love this guy's music, but cannot stand his philosophy. Why do the people who want to dictate how I should live have all the good music?
Bruce's pal, Pete Seeger; America’s Most Successful Communist "didn’t formally join the Communist Party until 1942, the Almanacs’ lyrics marched in lockstep with the party’s views well before then. In keeping with the line adopted after the 1939 Hitler-Stalin pact (which caused many U.S. party members to quit in disgust), for example, the Almanacs warbled against American entry into World War II, foreshadowing the preference for peace at any price that later characterized the McGovernite Left.
"We hear the echoes, too, in the music of the man who organized the Artists for John Kerry tour: Bruce Springsteen, who specializes in depicting the desolation of American life in albums such as Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad (a self-conscious reference to Guthrie). "...
Springsteen did not serve in the military apparently because he failed the physical:
"It is actually quite a moving story. His Dad and he did not get along, so his Dad kept saying "Wait until the Army gets you!"
"After he failed his physical, [At this point the audience claps, but Bruce says "It's nothing to be proud of"] he goes home and tells his Dad, expecting fireworks.
"Instead his Dad says "I'm glad, Son."
"What happens when ponytailed defense attorney Ron Kuby gets mugged? He screams bloody murder, demands a police crackdown on the alleged assailant, and collaborates with reporters at the New York Daily News to raise the specter of hate crime charges.
...."Ron Kuby is an acolyte of the late, unlamented William Kunstler, who also gloried in springing terrorists and murderers from prison. Kuby and Kunstler infamously raised the defense of "black rage" in the case of Long Island Railroad assassin Colin Ferguson, who murdered six people and injured 19 in 1993.
...."The point of hate crime laws has never been to "oppose hate." These laws are designed to rig the justice system in favor of politically connected minorities. It is therefore unsurprising to find a Ron Kuby wallowing in them, every chance he gets."
Kuby, with Kunstler, represented Gregory Lee Johnson, a protester who burned a U.S. Flag at the 1984 Republican National Convention; Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind cleric who headed the Egyptian-based militant group Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, accused of planning and encouraging terrorist attacks against Americans; Colin Ferguson, the man responsible for the 1993 LIRR shootings (who chose to represent himself at trial); Qubilah Shabazz, the daughter of Malcolm X, accused of plotting to murder Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam; Glenn Harris, a New York public school teacher who absconded with a fifteen year-old girl for two months; Darrell Cabey, a youth who was acquitted of assault on Bernard Goetz and successfully sued him for shooting Cabey; Yu Kikumura, a member of the Japanese Red Army; and associates of the Gambino Crime Family. During the Gulf War, they represented American soldiers claiming conscientious objector status. They also represented El Sayyid Nosair, assassin of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, whom Kuby's father had admired.
OC Register; "Republicans still insist on bringing up trivial, peripheral distractions like Benghazi, Obamacare, multitrillion dollar debt, unsustainable entitlements, permanent long-term unemployment, and the looming Jan. 1 “fiscal cliff.” "
"Yes!!!!!!! With one bound, Obama was unbound! Romney had just made the worst presidential-debate gaffe since Gerald Ford declared there was no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe. In the previous weeks, Obama had attempted to have a serious conversation with the citizenry, as befits the electoral process of a mature republic. He had raised the critical questions of our time – free contraceptives for middle-aged coeds, the outrageous right-wing Muppophobic assault on Big Bird – but the public had failed to bite. Now, in one fatal error, Romney had handed him the winning issue: binders!"
Jeremy Griffith ...."Regardless, one has to wonder at the circular firing squad that attacked him so viciously over what many of us as Christians think of as pretty much a non-issue.
"Early Friday morning, thugs presumably supporting President Obama beat up the son of Wisconsin State Senator Neal Kedzie outside of his apartment in Whitewater. Kedzie caught the two men removing a Romney sign outside of his apartment around two o'clock in the morning. After telling them to put the signs back, one of the thugs attacked Kedzie and then put him in a choke hold and continued to beat his head."
