A Tackle Box Full of Race Bait

By Jonah Goldberg= "And, yes, a tiny, tiny fraction of the signs at the Tea Party protests last weekend were racially insensitive. But if that’s how we’re going to score, then opposition to the Iraq War is anti-Semitic. After all, I saw a bunch of signs at antiwar protests that said bigoted things about Jews."

The Left, Too Left

By Victor Davis Hanson "We have elected the most left-wing president in our history, apparently to many an unappreciated fact given the Bush unpopularity, the wars, the so-so McCain candidacy...is being revealed to the American people — and they are not comfortable with it."

"The 75 Democrats who are pro-sex slave ACORN defenders" (Their term, not mine. Ed.)

More: "Obama's missile defense betrayal even riles Liberals" A surrender must be bad if even liberals don't like it.

PRINCESS NANCY GETS TEARY-EYED

Boortz "Earlier this week they were telling us that all of their wonderful ideas for America are being rejected because the people just don't like a black man in the White House. Now they're telling us that all of this opposition to these wonderful leftist programs are going to lead to violence and political assassinations. Can't wait to see what's next. "

SOMEONE FINALLY GETS IT!

By Neal Boortz "...all of these claims of racism out there are taking a word that once had some power and turning it into nothing more than a spitball. He quotes one John McWhorter, who studies race and language at the Manhattan Institute: "It gets to the point where we don't have a word to use to call people racist who actually are." "

Does He Lie?

By Charles Krauthammer "You lie? No. Barack Obama doesn't lie. He's too subtle for that. He . . . well, you judge. Herewith three examples within a single speech -- the now-famous Obama-Wilson "you lie" address to Congress on health care -- of Obama's relationship with truth..."

A'jad gets heave-ho from Helmsley Hotel

NY Post "Helmsley representatives told Ahmadinejad to beat it after being informed by the security group United Against Nuclear Iran that the Israel-hating, Holocaust-denying America basher was going to be in the house next Thursday. " Here is the contact for Helmsley Hotels if you care to send them an attaboy.

Poles, Czechs: US missile defense shift a betrayal

Yahoo News "...a respected pro-business Czech newspaper, said: "an ally we rely on has betrayed us, and exchanged us for its own, better relations with Russia, of which we are rightly afraid."The move has raised fears in the two nations they are being marginalized by Washington even as a resurgent Russia leaves them longing for added American protection."
