If You Appease The Crocodile Long Enough

It seems that CAIR is claiming credit for forcing a Christian televangelist off the CBS network in Florida.

Via St. Petersburg Times: ST. PETERSBURG - For the first time in nearly five years, controversial Christian televangelist Bill Keller is going off the air.

Keller - known for his vitriolic criticism of religious, political and pop culture figures - said Thursday his program was yanked in response to pressure from local Muslims.

Earlier this month, officials from the Council on American Islamic Relations wrote to executives at CBS asking them to investigate Live Prayer with Bill Keller, an hourlong nightly program.

In a May 2 broadcast, the televangelist said Islam was a "1,400-year-old lie from the pits of hell" and called the Prophet Mohammed a "murdering pedophile." He also called the Koran a "book of fables and a book of lies."

Hmm, it seems to me that is Mr. Keller's religious opinion. Just as many Muslims believe that contemporary Christianity is a bastardization of Christ's teachings. But Mr. Keller goes even further.

“I do not hold any ill will toward Muslims. I want them to know the truth and find true salvation. And the truth is that Islam is a false religion that follows a false god that will lead them to eternal condemnation. Since the very beginning of the Islamic faith some six hundred years after the death of Jesus Christ, Muslims have had a rich history of attacking anyone who disagrees with them. And this is just another one such historically redundant attack. This religious terrorism is conducted by an organization found to have deep rooted ties to terrorist groups, the Council on American Islamic Relations, or CAIR, to infringe on my First Amendment right of religious expression, and CBS Viacom is an accomplice.

CAIR, who is currently listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in a Dallas trial involving a terrorist fund raising operation, is viewed by much of the mainstream media as a Muslim version of the American Civil Liberties Union instead of the face of the radical Islamic movement that it has been proven to be since its inception here in the United States. CAIR believes that free speech ends when someone tells the truth about Islam....

...CAIR claims credit

After speaking with CBS executives, CAIR claims credit for Keller's demise on WTOG. His contract, set to end in December, will terminate on Sept. 11.

"They really based their decision upon our letter," said Ramzy Kilic, CAIR's civil rights coordinator. "They really did not know that Bill Keller was involved with this kind of anti-Muslim rhetoric."

Acting on complaints from bay area Muslims, CAIR officials began monitoring Keller's programs in May.

Mr. Keller has balls, he is openly preaching the gospel to Muslims. A crime punishable by death by Sharia law practiced in many Muslim countries. Just where the heck does Keller think he is? Some nation with guaranteed freedom of religion or something? Oh wait minute, he is.

Keller also points out that Cair is an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror trial. Cair really hates that. Just ask Dr. Adams, when you talk about CAIR supporting terror, or the fact that the the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) , Nihad Awad, calls Hamas Saham so he can skirt US laws restricting support to terror organizations or express your displeasure CAIR in any way, they will try to shut you up, or have you locked up.

If you would like to express your displeasure with CAIR or with the attorneys helping to Dhimmify America, feel free to do so. Just be somewhat more than bothersome and somewhat less than annoying.

If you appease the crocodile long enough, it will eat you. But throwing yourself into its jaws a not a very good idea either. No you must outsmart the croc, when the moment is right, you remove the man-eater from your midst.

Bill Moyers: Democrat Activist, Not Journalist

In his own words, redefining what it means to be a 'journalist:'

The journalist’s job is not to achieve some mythical state of equilibrium between two opposing opinions out of some misshapen respect -- sometimes, alas, reverence -- for the prevailing consensus among the powers-that-be. The journalist’s job is to seek out and offer the public the best thinking on an issue, event, or story.

Just in case you're wondering why his "reporting" seems to be little more than an echochamber of DNC talking points. Sounds a lot like the Seattle Times' take on what journalism is:

It’s not about "balance," which is a false construct. It isn't even about "objectivity," which is a laudable but probably unattainable goal. It is about independent thinking and sound, facts-based journalism -- the difference between what we do and the myopic screed that is passed off as "advocacy" journalism these days.

They can't seem to distinguish between fact and opinion, framing and straight reporting, journalism and punditry. These are the same types of chattering class clowns who argue that Rush Limbaugh doesn't have any "balance," and yet they admit openly (even proudly) that they don't want to nor do they need to provide any themselves. Journalists are supposed to provide "thinking," not facts. Interesting.

I think Ace said it best:

How reporters got conflated with analysts and general-purpose experts without portfolio is anyone's guess. But that conflation having been made (at least in the minds of some, particularly their own), they'll be damned if they're going to give that gig up now.

Reporters seem to think they sell the news at 75 cents a copy -- and they tell us all how to interpret and analyze that news at no additional charge.

They think they're being generous by offering us their scary talents in this regard for free.

The rest of don't give a whit how steeply-discounted their dubious expertise is offered -- we didn't subcontract our thinking to them and it will be an unseasonably cold day in hell when America complies with their demands to concede that they alone are capable of doing the intellectual work of democratic governance.

Just so you all know. The mainstream press, as a collective whole, is not a neutral entity. At least more and more of them have been taking the masks off as of late.

PS - If you want rich, creamy TEH STOOPID, look in the comments on the Moyers blog. Among the hilarity, you'll see commentor links to Daily Kos and Media Matters and idol worship of Moyers as a demigod. Bwahaha! Independent thinkers, those lefties.

Political Progress in Iraq: Leaders Agree on Benchmarks

Good news on the Iraq political front, which is of course bad news for the Democrats. Now that they can't deny the military progress, they'll be trying to deny the political progress as well. From FAUX NEWS Reuters

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's top Shi'ite, Sunni Arab and Kurdish political leaders announced on Sunday they had reached consensus on some key measures seen as vital to fostering national reconciliation.

The agreement by the five leaders was one of the most significant political developments in Iraq for months and was quickly welcomed by the United States, which hopes such moves will ease sectarian violence that has killed tens of thousands.

We'll see how long it lasts. Given our Democrats, they'll try to see to it that this ends yesterday.

Sunday Night Bill Frist

I was talking tonight with an acquaintance about his deceased wife who until today I didn't even know he had. She died before we met, he was remarried, and he had never mentioned her before.

She was born with a hole in her heart at a time that the general prognosis was death. Despite this, she lived for some time. Eventually, though, her health deteriorated.

The man took his wife to several hospitals in several states for what would become a double lung and heart transplant. All of them wanted the cash up front, over $150k. They couldn't afford it.

Eventually they found a hospital and a surgeon in Tennessee who would do the complicated heart and lung surgery and who would accommodate their financial situation. The surgery went well, and the woman lived several years past the initial prognosis.

"The doctor's name was William Frist," the man said to me, "I think he later ran for Senate or something."

The next time someone complains about how every one in government is bad, corrupt, or worse, remember this story.

CBS Allowing Hate Comments...

Using Greenwaldian/Sullivan methodology and logic, CBS has become a hate outlet for the most fringe lunatics on the Democrat left. Check out some of the comments they've allowed to stay on their site under this story (and I've got screenshots from when CBS deletes them and pretends they were never up there). Pay particular attention to the particularly vile commenter "seven-pesos":

Bushit is a craven coward, not just shown by his disgraceful behavior during the Vietnam war, which he ardently supported, but did everything he could to personally avoid, but during all his campaign stops and phony "town meetings" where he would have his thugs evict anyone from the meeting that even had on a T-shirt questioning the lies that the "Great Decider" had spouted. For example, in Oregon, three elementary school teachers were forced to leave a supposedly public gathering at the county fair grounds in Medford by Bushit thugs. And in Jacksonville, Oregon, Bushit had cops open fire on unarmed demonstrators with small explosives and tear gas because some dared to ask him questions when he wanted to go stuff his face in some local bistro.

No doubt Darth Cheney will impugne the courage of Puerto Ricans, while he excuses his own 5 deferments. Mitt Romney will question their patriotism as his own 5 sons avoid service. George Bushit will "decide" that Puerto Rico won''t get some of his tax breaks, as he dodges questions about the military service of his new son-in-law. Rush Limpdick will mock their accent, retired Marines who flew desks at Fort Ord will have bumper stickers calling for invasion of Puerto Rico "after we''re done with France," and American Legionnaires will enter into drunken rants fueled by cheap booze as to how the leetle brown spicanos don''t even spik EEngleesh.

Russians Kill Rustam Basayev

Rustam Basayev was a leader of the Chechen jihad. He was a cousin of the more famous (and dead) Shamil Basayev and of of his more famous cousin (with jihadi circle) Abu Bakr Basayev. He was also a close associate of Chechen jihad leader Doku Umarov. Sources inside the Chechen jihad claim that Basayev had recently returned from the Ukraine where he was recovering from a wound sustained in 2004. Reuters:

A close associate of Chechen separatist leader Doku Umarov was killed overnight in the volatile Russian region during a gun battle with local policemen, Russian media reported on Friday.

Rustam Basayev, one of Umarov's associates, was killed in the Leninsky region of Grozny, Russian news agencies quoted local interior ministry officials as saying. Two policemen were also killed in the gun fight.

Basayev was stopped by local police and asked for ID, but he refused and fled to a nearby home. A gunfight ensued in which he was shot and killed.

Not the biggest fish, but also not insignificant either. In any event he will not be missed. Russia is our natural ally and God only knows what Putin is thinking in trying to counter American influence in the world and cozying up to the very people that are the only real threat to Russian security--Islamists.

Support PMI's Iraq Coverage

Bill Roggio from "The Fourth Rail" and PMI is asking for a bit of help.

Over the next six weeks, Public Multimedia Inc. will have six reporters in Iraq. Wesley Morgan is currently writing from Iraq, and Joe Talley, a television producer and documentary filmmaker, just arrived in country and will be providing updates. In September, Bill Ardolino, who embedded in Fallujah in this past January, is going back to follow up on the progress of the Iraqi Police and Army, and their Police and Military Transition Teams. I will be in Baghdad with David Tate, a photojournalist, for most of September. Blake Powers, who writes at BlackFive, is scheduled to be in northern Babil and Anbar provinces in late September.

Some of these embeds were unexpected, and we are asking for your help to fund these efforts. We are looking to raise $20,000 over the next three weeks to cover the costs of the embeds. If you haven't donated, please consider doing so. Any amount you can give will help support our mission to provide embedded reporting from Iraq and other conflict zones. Remember, your donations are 100% tax-deductible as PMI is a nonprofit organization.
Thank you for your continued support.

Castro is Dead....Again (UPDATED)

Final update 7/25: Castro is not dead.
-----------------

UPDATE: Sources tell me that Castro is dead. I'm now getting more people who are telling me that Castro has died and that an official announcement is coming soon.

Val Prieto will probably have the news before me.

Commenters, e-mailers and Val are reporting that South Florida law enforcement are on some kind of alert and are preparing for a flood of immigrants...

Knock on wood, keep fingers crossed that this time the rumors will be true. But, don't get your hopes too high.

Developing......

UPDATE 2:37: I'm listening to 610WIOD Miami and Schnitt, who is on the air, has a guest on from the local Fox News affiliate now reporting that the US government is officially denying the report and contacts in Cuba say police are not mobilized nor are police in South Florida.

UPDATE 3:37: Time for the announcement was 4 pm.....and that time has come and gone. Perez Hilton still thinks its coming, but I doubt it.

UPATE 4:26: Fox News reporting that the White House is denying that Castro is dead.

UPDATE 4:47: Estancia Cubana also claims Castro is dead.

What's interesting is that every one who keeps telling me that Castro is dead also links Castro's death to an official announcement today. They believe Castro died some days ago but that the Cuban government wanted to wait until today to let the news out.

If you happen to have any information or links, please leave in the comments.

Killing Children in Iraq

By Maj. Joe Sowers
3rd HBCT Public Affairs

FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq – Insurgents who target coalition and Iraqi security forces sometimes miss the mark – with grave consequences for Iraqi civilians.

Soldiers from Troop C, 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, were targeted by insurgents while patrolling in Jisr Diyala, southeast of Baghdad, Aug. 21. U.S. Soldiers were unhurt, but two local children were caught in a roadside bomb explosion, killing one child and injuring another.

Capt. Darrell Melton, Troop C commander, a native of San Antonio, described the incident.

“The trail Bradley gunner was waving at two kids who were riding their bikes and were waving at my guys,” Melton said. “The next thing the Bradley commander knew, one of the kids was gone in a puff and he was thrown backward in the hatch. When he looked back, the other kid was crawling on the ground.” more...

Porn Star Jenna Jameson, Heidi Fleiss Endorse Clinton

Looks like Jenna Jameson isn't an Obama girl, she's a Clinton chick. I guess that explains all those girl/girl scenes.

Oh, and Clinton also picks up the crucial Hollywood whorehouse endorsement from Heidi Fleiss. WaTimes:

"I'm a big fan of Hillary's. Any woman who's smart, how can you not be?" Democrat Heidi Fleiss, 41, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal earlier this week. ....

And came while skinnier-by-the-moment porn star Jenna Jameson, who announced her retirement from adult films, recently set the public record straight that she is also solidly in the Clinton camp.

Like the old saying goes: whores love Hillary Clinton!

Radioctive Money Helps Nab Insurgents!

It's from the Weekly World News, so it must be true:

“With the help of the American CIA, we put tiny, radioactive fibers in special bills,” said an anonymous source named ‘Tariq’ at the Iraqi mint. “These were given to suspected insurgents so that we could follow the money whenever it changed hands. Now we know exactly when it’s used to buy weapons from Iran or Syria.” ...

“Each of the ‘hot’ bills shows up as a tiny blip on our monitors,” he said. “As soon as one of them passes from Iraq, we close in on whoever is spending the money.

A super-sekrit source tells The Jawa Report that the bills are handed out by double-agent squirrels!

Cro-Magnon Democrat Seeks Bumper Sticker Slogans for 08

I guess this kind of serves as counterpoint to the ridiculous assertion that conservatives engage exclusively in "bumper sticker slogans" - MUCH more than liberals do. Liberals REEEAAADDD books, or something.

No war for oil, brother. Chimpeach.

I guess James Carville, seeking the bumper sticker slogan that will carry the Democrats through 2008, didn't get the Patsy Shcroder memo the other day.

James - only Republicans succumb to bumper sticker slogans and politics. Read some books, dood!

For comparison, the two headlines of the two linked stories juxtaposed are suitable to mock these idiots to kingdom come:

"Book Chief: Conservatives Want Slogans"

Days later:

"Carville Wants Bumper Sticker Ideas"

LOLz!

al-Qaeda Murders Imam, Destroys Mosque, Kidnaps Women & Children

Via BBC:

A Sunni leader in the Iraqi province of Diyala, who encouraged his community to confront al-Qaeda in Iraq, has been killed by the group, police say.

The militants exploded a bomb in his house in the town of Kanaan, and fired mortars and rocket-propelled grenades at other houses and a Sunni mosque.

There are conflicting reports, but police in nearby Baquba said a total of 22 civilians died in the dawn attack.

The attackers then seized at least seven people before retreating.

Some of those kidnapped were women and children, residents said....

..."They blew up the mosque then they bombed houses crowded with family members," he told the AFP news agency.

One of the houses belonged to Sheikh Yunis al-Tai, an imam well known in the area for his opposition to the al-Qaeda in Iraq, he said. They killed him and at least one of his family members and wounded others.

al-Qaeda supporters have only one response. It's a lie/not true/propganda. So tell me was it a lie/not true/propaganda when al-Qaeda/Islamic State of Iraq vowed revenge against those who failed to yield to al-Qaeda? Are all these people talking to AFP, who normally calls al-Qaeda's murderous thugs freedom fighters, lying? I think not.

It seems the Jihadi supporters now call the 1920's Brigades liars too? Eh boys. Murdering Muslims, blowing up mosques, killing and kidnapping women and children, does this not sound like al-Qaeda? What justifies this?

it was the house of a sheikh affiliated with the socalled "awakening council"

Just what I thought. al-Qaeda's normal method of dealing with opposition, murder the opposition. more...
