Who could forget that just-released, acid-house, dance-hall hit, “STFU” (”Shut the F**K Up!”)? You’ve got to listen to it. It brings home Barbra Streisand’s pathetic attempt at calling for tolerance, while she’s really one of the most guilt-ridden, intolerant, illiterate, self-loathing liberals of all time. How low can the stars go? Just listen to Babs. From TMZ.com:

When the Agence France-Presse is less politically correct than the AP, you have to know something’s afoot. When I first saw the headline that President Bush signed the bill authorizing 700 miles of new fence between the U.S. and Mexico, I thought, “Great; better border security and greater control over immigration.” That’s not quite how the AP saw it, in the first paragraph, no less:

The “top” Australian Muslim cleric is now attempting to sanitize his blatant incitement to violence against women using the usual “taken out of context” excuse. Thankfully, Australian leaders aren’t buying it:
Australia’s most senior Muslim cleric has prompted an uproar by saying that some women are attracting sexual assault by the way they dress.
Sheikh Taj el-Din al-Hilali said women who did not wear a hijab (head dress) were like “uncovered meat”.

On Friday, October 13, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Southern California Director, wrote some commentary on his personal web site in reference to me and commentary I had made about him being invited to attend the FBI Citizen’s Academy:

The news from Iraq is bad, but many of the recommendations coming from London and Washington are worse. Dividing Iraq would abet ethnic cleansing and break the country into morsels more easily digested by neighbouring states. Outreach to Iran and Syria is no panacea: Tehran and Damascus treat diplomatic commitment with disdain; Iran’s revolutionary guards seldom abide by the promises of Iranian diplomats.
MoveOn.org can’t blame this one on shadowy conservative operatives
“Crazed Christian fundamentalists” smeared along with Jews
by Bill Levinson
MoveOn.org has argued that the racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic hate speech at its Action Forum were planted there by conservative operatives, apparently right under the noses of MoveOn.org moderators who were very diligent about finding and deleting criticisms of MoveOn.org itself. Now perhaps MoveOn will claim that a huge invisible (Republican) elephant hacked into their Web site and posted this under the name “Noah Winer.”

It has only been 12 years since the heinous act, but better late than never… From the BBC:
The Iranian government and Lebanese militia group Hezbollah have been formally charged over the 1994 bombing of a Jewish centre in Buenos Aires.

Daniel Pipes has been named a member of the “Harvard 100,” defined as the university’s most influential living alumni, in the inaugural issue of 02138 magazine.
Pipes is described as “one of the few scholars who can claim to have predicted the 9/11 attacks” and is credited with influencing the administration’s policy toward Islamist terrorism. The names of list members are in the magazine with icons denoting whether their career momentum is trending up, down, or at a plateau. Pipes, who ranks #84 on the list, has a career upswing icon.

Israeli Education Minister Yuli Tamir signed a directive to public schools to mark the 50th anniversary of the ‘massacre in Kafr Kassam,’ referring to the shooting of Israeli Arab protestors by security forces. It took a week, almost no time at all, by Israel’s political calendar, to approve this self-hating idea, which was brought on by MK Zehava Gal-On (Meretz).

Five years into the war on terror, inept U.S. diplomacy risks undercutting a key democracy (and ally) that President Bush once called a model for the Muslim world. The future of Turkey as a secular, Western-oriented state is at risk. Just as in Gaza and Lebanon, the threat comes from parties using the rhetoric of democracy to advance distinctly undemocratic agendas. Turkey has overcome past challenges from terrorism and radical Islam; always its system has persevered. But now, as Turkish politicians and officials work to defend the Turkish constitution, U.S. diplomats interfere to dismiss Turkish concerns and downplay the Islamist threat.

Our relentless pounding of MoveOn.org’s tolerance of vicious hate speech at its Action Forum has apparently stirred up the Left to the extent where Jewish enablers are stepping in in an attempt to whitewash the beleagured organization. The Jewish Funds for Justice has, we assume due of ignorance of the facts, chosen to collaborate with MoveOn.org by sponsoring a petition against our efforts. Bring it on.

Replying to a recent viewer comment in the YouTube comments section of a video post on the Pope from Ahmed Bedier, CAIR’s Florida communications director, Mr. Bedier stated that CAIR is “as transparent as you get, my friend”.
Well, not really. It seems to us that whenever a CAIR officer is confronted with a direct question about CAIR, the officer will go out of his (or her) way to dodge the question, or throw it back on the questioner.
(This is anything but “transparent”, Mr. Bedier.)

As coalition policy reaches a crisis, may I resurrect an idea I have been flogging since April 2003? It offers a way out of the current debate over staying the course (as President George W. Bush has long advocated) or withdrawing troops on a short timetable (as his critics demand).
My solution splits the difference, “Stay the course – but change the course.” I suggest pulling coalition forces out of the inhabited areas of Iraq and redeploying them to the desert.

Anyone who is thinking of signing up as a phone volunteer for MoveOn.org’s Call for Change program should first take a close look at MoveOn’s track record of welcoming racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic hate speech at its Action Forum. An outstanding example appears below.

Introduction
[From the beginning I realized it too voluminous a work to record all the evidence contained in H.G. Wells’ book, The Open Conspiracy, which supported a thesis that today we are in latter stages of it. There is here, however, sufficient citation of evidence to that end.
The objective of writing an expose’ on the Open Conspiracy is not as much a fascination with the past as it is a revelation of the now, and the immediate and not too distant future.]
Never before in the history of the world has mankind possessed such great troves of knowledge, and although this vast and ever increasing catalog of knowledge has brought with it immense benefits and manifold hopes; it has also brought with it many and great perils. The advent of this astounding collection and consolidation of knowledge, and the possible repercussions of it, was perceived more than a century ago by Jules Verne and other visionaries whose conceptions were expressed through science-fiction novels.
