Fantastic, thanks for the link.
Man. I'm speechless.
Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.

I really don't have any words to describe the slime that is Fox.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Re: It's official: Obama enters run for presidency
I'm also thinking about things like Hannity's interview concerning Congressman Ellison, and the "counterpoint" guest being a Black Muslim - who was still calmer, more literate, and more reasonable than anyone else on that show.

During Obama's childhood, muslim extremists were oppressed by Suharto (then the president of Indonesia). The leader, Abu Bakar Bashir, was exiled for promoting sharia law. He returned to Indonesia in 1998, after Suharto was toppled. Suharto himself is not quite a muslim. He's partly (or more of) a Kejawen (an ancient Javanese spiritualism which is akin to Hinduism and Buddhism that preceded it). He claimed to be a devoted muslim to win votes.
Currently, I've heard of some extremist-funded madrasahs or pesantrens but only in Central Java and Kalimantan (Borneo). Never heard of one in West Java, probably because it's to close to the heart of Indonesia.

He's got Jefferson's personal Koran.
He needs Washington's hatchet. [...and the parable regarding truth contained. Sorta like 'Excalibur']
I'm not for anyoone, as prior comments alludes.
But this is just... unspeakable.

tee hee... damn
Fox New's John Gibson[/i], quoting InsightMag.com (owned by the Moonies!) that the madrassa story is coming out of HILLARY's office. (another must read too... amazing how in one day this got circulated by the entire Right Wing Outrage Machine!)
Evidently someone at the New Republic predicted a month ago that Republicans would "launch a savage and despicable whispering campaign against the guy (Barack Hussein Obama, etc.) and then blame it all on Hillary."

Re: It's official: Obama enters run for presidency
He was a mere moderate shell of 'himself' when I was introduced to his vile rants on MSNBC.
I paid little attention to him.
I was too preoccupied with Soledad O'Brien being a hottie on 'The Site'.
I gather now on the CNN Morinig gig shes nothing more than another neocon shill.
The story of my life, in one mediated metaphor.
[umm...not that I pay any attention to Gibson now, either. Of course, there's nothing wrong with ...oh wait. There is something wrong about paying Gibson attention. Toxicity levels will increase toward mortality.]

I was just thinking how clever (though disgusting) it would be for Hillary to actually use the right-wing shriek machine against her opposition.

Eventually they will turn to, "Obama rhymes with Osama," and, "his middle name is Hussein, just like Saddam."

In that linked video one of the hosts said:
His muslim father was also the one who gave him the middle name of Hussein.
Yeah, Fox news panders to the least intelligent audience, this has been obvious for some time.
Anyone remember that thing they did on the netherlands? About killing babies or something?
I could bore you with a philosophical tirade about freedom and tyranny, or try and explain to you what new horizons are suddenly open to me, but I doubt you would understand and if you did it might frighten you. That amuses me.

Re: It's official: Obama enters run for presidency
I'd guess you'd be 'doubleplusproud' then, with your track record, eh?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6286459.stm
Eighty-eight people died and 160 were injured in a double car bombing at a second-hand clothes market in Baghdad.
A further 12 died in a bomb and mortar attack in the nearby city of Baquba, while Iraqi police found 29 bodies in and around the capital.
The attacks came as the first of over 21,000 extra US troops arrived in Baghdad on a mission to boost security.
The 3,200 troops are the advance guard of an increase ordered by President George W Bush earlier this month.

Can I sell ya a 'Postcard of the Hanging(s)', perhaps? What's this on the back here? Oh. It says 'Wish You Were Here."
Quaint.
We could revisit Abu-Gitmo, if you'd prefer. I hear the sun's just torture, though.
