Finally someone in the Muslim world speaks out against the religion’s murdering lunatics. Abdullah Saeed, head of the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies at Australia’s Melbourne University.
Abdullah Saeed espouses some very unpopular points of view
Wait. We stand corrected. The following comments weren’t made by an anti-Muslim bigot. They were made by Abdullah Saeed, head of the National Centre of Excellence for Islamic Studies at Australia’s Melbourne University.
Finally someone in the Muslim world speaks out against the religion’s murdering lunatics:
The silent majority (of Muslims) should strengthen its campaign of undermining the militancy and hatred advocated by the extremists. This campaign should begin at Friday sermons, in mosques, at homes, through lesson at Muslim weekend and day schools, in study circles and youth camps. This is no doubt happening but more needs to be done in view of the present situation. Continue reading “Far right anti-Muslim bigot speaks out against theology of hate”
London Daily Mail that reveals details about the so-called Bill Clinotn “rescue” of reporters imprisoned in North Korea that have been conspicuously absent in the American media.
"Just me and two hot Asian chicks," the former President mused, "alone in an airplane for fifteen hours."
Last week was like old times for the American media. According to the template, former President Bill Clinton flew into enemy territory and used the power of his charm to free two innocent American journalists who had been unlawfully arrested by the evil North Koreans.
Unfortunately, none of it is true.
Luckily, Sunday’s London Daily Mail that reveals details about the so-called “rescue” that have been conspicuously absent in the American media:
…Bill Clinton has found it increasingly hard to reconcile himself to life on the sidelines. When asked to undertake a ‘sensitive’ mission to ‘rescue’ the pair, he jumped at the chance.
He was picked up at an airport near his home in the bucolic New York suburb of Chappaqua by a private jet laid on by the Dow Chemical company. It flew him 3,000 miles to Burbank, California, where he boarded a Boeing 737 provided by Steve Bing, one of his best friends and a generous contributor to the Clinton Foundation, the charity with which he has been occupying his post-Presidential years.

If you’re having trouble separating the hypocrisy in coverage of town hall anger, we’ve prepared this handy guide designed to help you recognize the difference between people who protest and people who cause disruptions.
We apologize for the horrifying photo, but the image of a "two-faced pig" just came to mind when we thought about the media
The media has a problem with all these people showing up to townhall meetings and voicing their dissent. Dissension, after all, is only praiseworthy when its target is a Republican President or conservative lawmakers.
You may remember a few protests against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush years. (By the way, whatever happened to war protests?)
Then there was the infamous shoe-chucking incident that was reported in a kind of a jokey way.
Warning: Do not attempt to take a photograph of the First Lady eating a cheeseburger. Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken.
Careful, MIchelle. The Surgeon General warns against those awful transfats.
Warning: Do not attempt to take a photograph of the First Lady eating a cheeseburger.
Here’s an odd Obama report from the New York Post:
Michelle Obama, like her husband, enjoys a good burger, but not as well done. The first lady brought daughters Malia and Sasha to former “Top Chef” contestant Spike Mendelsohn’s Good Stuff Eatery in DC for cheeseburgers, onion rings, fries, and milkshakes. “They got the burgers medium,” says a spy. (President Obama was mildly ridiculed after ordering a burger medium-well in January.) “Three starving Secret Service guys were literally standing over the grill as Spike made the burgers, but didn’t eat,” our source adds. Fellow patrons had their cellphones temporarily confiscated to prevent pictures from being taken.
Michelle had better remember the old adage, “A moment on the lips, forever on the hips.”
Or as we say here at IHateTheMedia.com, “No second helpings for the First Lady.”
Ratings-challenged Campbell Brown reported on the feud between Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann and actually mentioned that their ratings handily top hers.
CNN has fallen to a miserable third in the cable news ratings and they seem to have adopted a very strange strategy to win viewers back: Reporting how they’re getting their asses kicked.
All Fox News hosts have higher ratings than all their competitors combined, including CNN and MSNBC. Data for August 10, 2009.
Is Glenn Beck the real king of cable news? His program is number three in the ratings even though it isn't in primetime
If you’re not on Fox, your ratings picture is pretty grim. All Fox hosts have higher ratings than all their competitors combined. Here’s what it looked like on the night of August 10.
We call your attention to the Glenn Beck ratings. Considering his time slot is during work and drive-home hours for the vast majority of America, his numbers are astounding. Perhaps a rearrangement of the Fox News line-up is in order.
“Left to it’s own devices with our tax revenues the Congress and Obama administration are like heroin addicts arguing over the last speedball that’s already been shot up.”
Here is the truth about Obamacare, as spoken among friends by Barack Obama, NPR’s Julie Rovner, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Yale professor Jakob Hacker, the architect of the ObamaCare sham.
Here it is. The truth as spoken among friends by Barack Obama, NPR’s Julie Rovner, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Yale professor Jakob Hacker, the architect of the ObamaCare sham.
In the words of VerumSerum.com, “Jacob Hacker has been a key player in the formation of the public plan strategy, dating back over 5 years. We thought it was time someone shined some light on the ulterior motives embedded within his plan. The mainstream media has been well-aware of the historical players and developments related to the public plan option, and the fact that they have not been bringing all aspects of this to the public’s attention is yet another clear illustration of liberal media bias.”
Hoisted on their own petard. (We’ve always loved that phrase and would like to thank the Democrats for giving us this opportunity to use it).
Leah, a C-SPAN caller from New Hampshire, came on the air saying that she “just wants to clarify a few things about these manufactured angered crowds.”
Not much commentary necessary here. We’ll just let Leah, a C-SPAN caller from New Hampshire, tell you what’s what.
She came on the air saying that she “just wants to clarify a few things about these manufactured angered crowds.” Politico reporter Manu Raju and C-SPAN’s Rob Harrell undoubtedly thought they were going to hear from a disgruntled Democrat.
Harvard had a $36.9 billion endowment, the largest in academia. The endowment has imploded, and the university faces the worst financial crisis in its 373-year history.
Hard times at Harvard: The endowment is going down
Unemployment is at record levels and growing. The tsunami of commercial loan foreclosures still hasn’t begun. The “stimulus” money is sitting unspent in bank vaults across America. The national debt is spiraling out of control. Yet there is a ray of sunshine.
“Only a year ago,” Vanity Fair says in its latest issue, “Harvard had a $36.9 billion endowment, the largest in academia. Now that endowment has imploded, and the university faces the worst financial crisis in its 373-year history. Could the same lethal mix of uncurbed expansion, colossal debt, arrogance, and mismanagement that ravaged Wall Street bring down America’s most famous university?
Let’s just ignore all the stuttering and stammering from the Wizard of Uhs. Let’s concentrate on his contention that ObamaCAre will be good because it’s like the post office.
Let’s just ignore all the stuttering and stammering from the Wizard of Uhs. Let’s concentrate on his contention that ObamaCAre will be good because it’s like the post office.
The post office has no competition. It has a monopoly on first class mail. Much like ObamaCare will have a monopoly on healthcare.
Despite that monopoly, they lose money hand-over-fist every year. Much like ObamaCAre will have a monopoly on healthcare.
Fedex and UPS eat the post office’s lunch where they actually compete. Much like insurance companies…uhhhh…well, there won’t really be any insurance companies to compete with ObamaCare.
The Greatest President In History, who has never worked in private enterprise, shows absolutely no understanding of how that real world thing works.
Everybody loves a dog. Especially a conservative anti-Obama dog. This may be the smartest dog in the world. He’s definitely smarter now than 52% of the American voters were last November.

Here’s Kimmel’s concept of how Hollywood might handle its version of the “President-Clinton-rescues-two-reporters” story.
Jimmy Kimmel gets less hype than Conan O’Brien and David Letterman, but night-in and night-out, he’s by far the funniest of the three late night hosts.
Here’s Kimmel’s concept of how Hollywood might handle its version of the “President-Clinton-rescues-two-reporters” story.
Thanks, Jimmy. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
(Actually, we couldn’t have said it nearly as well, but by saying “we couldn’t have said it better” we subconsciously elevate ourselves to Kimmel’s level in your mind. At least that’s our theory. How’s it working?)
“Astroturfing” is a word created by Obama puppetmaster David Axelrod. Look at these photos and tell us just which side is astroturfing.
Handmade signs versus professionally designed and printed signs. Which side of this debate is astroturf?
We’d like to nominate “astroturfing” as the next word to be eliminated from the English language. After this story, we hope to never hear or see the word again.
A Congolese translator, struggling to translate a Congolese student’s question, imply that Hillary is merely Bill’s puppet. She didn’t like that.
Looks like Hillary’s feeling a bit insecure about Bill’s recent adventure in North Korea.
A Congolese translator, struggling to translate a Congolese student’s question, made the mistake of asking, “What does Mr. Clinton think through the mouth of Mrs Clinton…?”
Homeland Security announced that the United States is not engaged in a “War on Terror.” At the same time, President Obama and the rest of the Democrat party declared war on American citizens, calling them “angry mobs,” “hooligans” and “civic vigilantes.”
Cuba’s economy sucks donkey. In layman’s terms, fifty years of Communism has brought them to the latest in a long series of serious economic crises. For god’s sake, man, they’re running out of toilet paper.
Unfortunately, the law of supply-and-demand is the first thing repealed in a Communist country
We are highly-trained economists here at IHateTheMedia.com. So we apologize if you’re confused by our use of this technical jargon: Cuba’s economy sucks donkey.
In layman’s terms, fifty years of Communism has brought them to the latest in a long series of serious economic crises.
For god’s sake, man, they’re running out of toilet paper. And officials on the Communist-ruled island say the situation might not improve until the end of the year.
Ooooh, fashion. Vanity Fair put together its 2009 International Best Dressed List. As you would expect, the Greatest President In History and the Most Beautiful First Lady In History both made the list.

C’mon, these two could wear T-shirts that say, “My parents went to Kenya and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” and tin foil hats and the biased liberal media would still salute them as fashnion icons.
Vanity Fair says Michelle Obama is well-dressed. Who are we to argue with Vanity Fair?
What Vanity Fair said about Michelle:
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA Residences: Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Occupation: First Lady of the United States. Age: 45. Notable Ensembles of 2009: Inauguration wardrobe; black Moschino organza top, skirt, and silk veil worn when meeting Pope Benedict XVI. Favorite Boutique: Ikram, in Chicago. Signature Wardrobe Item: Cardigan sweaters. Jewelry: Double-strand pearls. Shoe Designers: Jimmy Choo, Puma, Lanvin. Favorite Bargain-Hunting Locale: J. Crew. Causes: Education, health, and veterans’ affairs.
What Vanity Fair didn’t say about Michelle:
Tells everyone she shops at J. Crew, but no one really believes it. Loves to accessorise with $500 athletic shoes and $6000 purses. In reality, her sense of fashion ranks somewhere below France’s First Lady and somewhere above any anonymous homeless lady.
Mom jeans = nerd chic. The only thing missing is a little bell on the handlebars.
What Vanity Fair said about President Obama:
BARACK OBAMA Residences: Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Occupation: President of the United States. Age: 48. Notable Purchases of 2009: Hart Schaffner Marx suits; inside of jacket pocket reads, “Made Exclusively for Barack Obama.” Tailor: Hart Schaffner Marx of Chicago—Gold Trumpeter Line: two-button, single-vent jacket and cuffed trousers. Workout Attire: Secret Service cap, black running pants, gray T-shirt, Asics. Shoes: Four pairs, including Cole Haan dress shoes; white Asics sneakers. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban 3217. Watch: A Jorg Gray 6500 presented to him by the Secret Service. Bargain-Hunting Locale: Secret Service employees’ store.
What Vanity Fair didn’t say about President Obama:
European Member of Parliament Daniel Hannan appeared on the Glenn Beck Show last week and told the sad plight of European-style single payer healthcare.
You may recall Daniel Hannan, the European Member of Parliament who delivered a blistering (and hilarious) speech condemning British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a few months ago.
Hannan appeared on the Glenn Beck Show last week and told the sad plight of European-style single payer healthcare.
If you support ObamaCare, you need to hear what Hannan has to say.
If you don’t support ObamaCare, same instructions.
The 2009 hurricane season now qualifies as the quietest hurricane season in 32 years and the fourth quietest in the last 50 years. What happened to Al Gore’s global warming?
Update: Excitement is running rampant at the Gore compound. We may be getting close to our first storm of the season. According to the National Hurricane Center, that orange #1 off the coast of Africa has a 30-50% chance of becoming a tropical storm during the next 48 hours. Would someone please inform Al Gore.
The suicide alert at Al Gore’s house has gone to Level Red. While the Goracle insisted that global warming would bring us more and more destructive hurricanes, the reality has been considerably different.
Ten members of Congress spent $500,000 – according to Wall Street Journal estimates – on an 11-day global warming fact finding mission over New Year’s 2008.

Naturally, they couldn’t study global warming without their wives, so six spouses also went on the trip to Antarctica, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, and Hawaii.
Those luxurious private jets currently sitting in the Congressional fleet simply aren’t luxurious enough, simply aren’t fast enough, simply aren’t friggin’ imperial enough.
Toilet aboard one of the luxurious new Congressional jets, where "the throne" is actually a throne
Those luxurious private jets currently sitting in the Congressional fleet simply aren’t luxurious enough, simply aren’t fast enough, simply aren’t friggin’ imperial enough.
So Congress took a look at its Cash-for-Clunkers program and introduced a related program called More Debt-for-New Jets.
Let’s just compare and contrast the Cash-for-Clunkers congress passed for you and the More Debt-for-New Jets program they passed for itself.
With Cash-for-Clunkers, you have to turn in an older car that gets lower gas mileage. With More Debt-for-New Jets, congress simply adds to the number of luxurious, fuel-sucking private jets in its fleet while giving up nothing.
