My friend Frank Gaffney has produced a documentary entitled "Islam Vs. Islamists," a powerful and wonderfully made piece which shows the struggle of aphandful of reasonable Moslems against the more violent and hateful Moslems around the world.
The Public Broadcasting System is now refusing to show it. (Actually, the latest is that they are "making it available" for showing, something intended to deflect the attempted censorship by the network to the individual stations.)
Why is PBS refusing to show a film that gives moderate Moslems a voice? Because by showing moderate Moslems they are forced to admit that the cause of the violent Moslems is unjust. So long as the terrorists are merely murdering Christians, Jews, Americans and Hindus the leftists can portray the Moslems as an oppressed peoples. When the truth is shown and that the Moslems are oppressing (via attempted genocide) peoples around the globe INCLUDING OTHER MOSLEMS, the left can no longer portray evil as the victim.

How dare President Bush launch a new offensive in Iraq. That's what I was planning to do!
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces launched a big offensive in Iraq with an overnight airborne assault targeting al Qaeda guerrillas on Tuesday, part of a major new countrywide push.
The Americans also raided Baghdad's Shi'ite slum of Sadr City targeting militants they said are linked to Iran. Relatives said a 5-year-old girl was among four killed in the raid.
The military said 16,000 U.S. and Iraqi troops were involved in Operation Lightning Hammer against Sunni Islamist al Qaeda in the fertile crescent of the Diyala River north of Baghdad.
U.S. and Iraqi soldiers started the operation with a late-night air assault, focusing on militants who fled an earlier crackdown in the provincial capital Baquba.
"Our main goal with Lightning Hammer is to eliminate the terrorist organisations ... and show them that they truly have no safe haven -- especially in Diyala," Major-General Benjamin Mixon, U.S. commander in northern Iraq, said in a statement.
The operation was described as part of a larger countrywide Operation Phantom Strike, which U.S. forces announced on Monday.
USMC. Kicking ass and taking names since 1776!
I'm popular! No, REALLY, I'm as popular as Dick Cheney is!
Since becoming the first female speaker in U.S. history this year, Pelosi, 67, has traveled mostly overseas on official trips while other Democratic leaders trekked to fund-raisers in districts. That's changing: This month she is attending events in seven states, including Arizona and President George W. Bush's home state of Texas.
The effort is a balancing act: Some congressional Democrats in Republican-leaning areas still aren't anxious for her to come to their turf. ``I don't anticipate her coming to my district,'' said first-term Democrat Christopher Carney, whose northeast Pennsylvania district gave Bush 60 percent of its vote in 2004.
``It's not that she's unwelcome, but she doesn't play as well in Pennsylvania's 10th District as she would'' in California, Carney said.
Republicans say they want to highlight the link between Pelosi and any Democratic candidate from a Republican region who has her visit. ``She's a polarizing figure,'' said Republican Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. ``You're not going to take Nancy Pelosi to red-state America and score political points.''
Tied With Cheney
Pelosi's approval ratings have suffered amid signs voters don't think Democrats are getting enough done. A July 15-18 Lake Research Partners/Tarrance Group poll found her rating at 37 percent -- a tie with Vice President Dick Cheney -- while 40 percent disapproved.
Haha...GW going down in history as the only presidunce to LOSE TWO WARS at the same time...wow, you boys know how to pick em.

Watch Dick tell us why taking out Saddam would be a DISASTER. Are these the most grotesque fools since Hitler's boys or hvut? Only his little brownshirtnosers would fight for him...what's wrong with you yellow little nazis...you're just barely smart enought to know it can't be won, aren't you?...not that you'd go anyway...which is why we're learning to hate you little shirker pricks in the corps.
I'm so happy that we're securing Iraq:)
The Iraquis are so grateful that we are there to help them develop a democracy:)
Holy crap! If we start winning in Iraq, I'll lose my speakership!
August 15, 2007 -- News out of Iraq continues to be encouraging: High-profile attacks have fallen nearly 50 percent since the start of the troop surge, USA Today reported this week.
Gen. David Petraeus, commanding the war in Iraq, says hundreds of al Qaeda fighters were killed or captured in just the past month alone.
Tips about the enemy are up fourfold over the last year - to some 23,000 a month.
"Tribes and people are starting to stand up and fight back," said Brig. Gen. Mick Bednarek, deputy commander of the U.S. division north of Baghdad, in the USA Today report. "They are turning against al Qaeda."
It's a sign of the preliminary success of a number of operations now under way, as troop strength has finally reached the maximum planned by the surge.
To think that just a month ago, Democrats were trying to pull the plug on Iraq.
Maybe they feared exactly what is happening: The tide in Iraq seems to be turning in America's favor - and that spells bad news for the Dems, who've pinned their own political fates on the White House failing in the war.
Hahaha...Petraeus!!...and my used car saleman told me the old Buick wouldn't use oil...them Americans they know how to makem he sez...Gen. David Petraeus, commanding the war in Iraq, says hundreds of al Qaeda fighters were killed or captured in just the past month alone.
Petraeus is GW's little pussy cat:
BAGHDAD — Despite U.S. claims that violence is down in the Iraqi capital, U.S. military officers are offering a bleak picture of Iraq’s future, saying they’ve yet to see any signs of reconciliation between Sunni and Shiite Muslims despite the drop in violence.
Without reconciliation, the military officers say, any decline in violence will be temporary and bloodshed could return to previous levels as soon as the U.S. military cuts back its campaign against insurgent attacks. [...]
[W]hile top U.S. officials insist that 50 percent of the capital is now under effective U.S. or government control, compared with 8 percent in February, statistics indicate that the improvement in violence is at best mixed.
U.S. officials say the number of civilian casualties in the Iraqi capital is down 50 percent. But U.S. officials declined to provide specific numbers, and statistics gathered by McClatchy Newspapers don't support the claim.
The number of car bombings in July actually was 5 percent higher than the number recorded last December, according to the McClatchy statistics, and the number of civilians killed in explosions is about the same.
Gee, there on pace for over 300 murders in Baltimore this year. Is it time to pull out the police force, yet?

It would be, simpdick, if it was the police force which was causing the mayhem. How about that market...will it stop soon...or is it going on dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown? You're done either way, but a nice crash...that would be supah.
Yes, the destruction of the American and world economies...that would be supah!
'F off you commie piece of shi'ite!
Your TRAITOR flag is flying again. Best go hide it before some voters see you.
Who else besides me thinks it's time to invade Pakistan?
Mr. Obama's proposal to tie American aid to Pakistan to progress in fighting Al Qaeda is already in legislation. (Mr. Biden drafted an amendment to the 9/11 bill passed by Congress in July and awaiting the signature of President Bush.) "That's the Biden-Lantos amendment," Mr. Biden said. "It exists now, so the thing that startled me was the fact that here these three people are arguing about whether we should go in or not go in or how to go in, the first thing that surprised me is it took so long for them to focus on Pakistan. I've been talking about Pakistan and this since I went into Afghanistan as the first American in there since the Taliban came down in 2001."
Why doesn't Hillary and the rest of the presidential field of candidates know that they've already green-lighted Obama's invasion of Pakistan? Talk about your maroons!
Dammit, Joe. THAT is just Supah!
Will you be my VP?
GOPerv Robs the Dead:
Rising GOP star arrested
Angelo Cappelli is accused of theft from the estate of a deceased bank client.
By NICOLE HUTCHESON and AARON SHAROCKMAN, Times Staff Writers
Published August 16, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ST. PETERSBURG - Less than a year ago Angelo Cappelli was a hot newcomer on the local political scene, building key allies in his race for House District 52.
Cappelli narrowly lost the election, but his fundraising prowess, Ivy League pedigree and well-established banking job with SunTrust solidified his future with the local Republican Party.
That was until SunTrust began taking a closer look at paperwork coming from his office.
After a six-week investigation, police arrested Cappelli on Wednesday morning at his lawyer's office on Central Avenue. He faces grand theft and perjury charges, according to St. Petersburg authorities.
Cappelli, 37, is accused of stealing more than $100,000 from the trust of a deceased bank client. By Wednesday evening, Cappelli was out of jail on $55,000 bail. He could not be reached for comment.
"He was very emotional and provided the detectives with a complete confession to the crimes," said Bill Proffitt, a St. Petersburg Police Department spokesman.
Cappelli worked at the SunTrust Bank at 300 First Ave. S for the past four years as a wealth and investment adviser. He sold clients products but did not have direct access to their accounts.
So it was unusual when bank officials discovered that Cappelli had signed paperwork with the Pinellas County Circuit Court probate division regarding a deceased SunTrust client's will.
In those papers, Cappelli listed the estate of Mario Granata at $58,000, when Granata's trust was worth almost $160,000.
A bequest to charity
Granata, 83, died in February and had no spouse or children. Granata's will allocated all his assets at the time of his death to the Pinellas County Community Foundation, a charitable organization based in Clearwater.
In June, Cappelli delivered a $45,353 check to the foundation.
"When the check was delivered, I had no reason to think anything was wrong," said Julie Scales, executive director of the foundation.
Cappelli then committed five different fraudulent transfers taking a total of $110,500 from Granata's estate account, according to police. He put the money into an account he opened at Mercantile Bank in St. Petersburg named the "Y Club of Tampa Bay c/o Community Foundation."
Cappelli paid personal credit card bills with some of the money.
He also conducted another fraudulent transaction in which he paid $4,489 to St. John's Insurance Co., which provided his homeowner's insurance, police said.
Nephew saw problem
The transactions went largely unnoticed until a distant nephew of Granata's came to St. Petersburg to clean out his deceased uncle's apartment. He found a will and bank account statements. He phoned Granata's attorney, Cynthia Orozco.
The court documents "alerted me that something was going on," said Orozco, an estate planning lawyer in St. Petersburg who drafted Granata's will in 1998. "It was unusual that Mr. Cappelli signed in those capacities. That's something that the lawyer's office was supposed to do."
SunTrust officials launched an investigation and relieved Cappelli of his duties in late June. St. Petersburg police got involved shortly after.
Strong resume
Cappelli graduated from Yale and Fordham universities where he earned both a law degree and a master's of business administration. Prior to his recent troubles, his resume listed service on the boards of St. Anthony's Hospital, the Arts Center of St. Petersburg and the Police Athletic League.
Well-known developer Mel Sembler and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker supported his run against Democrat Bill Heller for House District 52. Cappelli ended up raising $160,000 more than Heller but lost the race in a difficult election year for most Republicans across the state.
Finances turned grim
Cappelli's personal financial picture became increasingly grim in the last several months. Details of his money problems are sketchy, but authorities said Cappelli had been complaining to co-workers about financial hardships.
In July 2006, Cappelli and his wife, Michelle, took out a loan with SunTrust bank for $880,000 and began building an almost 3,700-square-foot home in the Placido Bayou area of St. Petersburg, according to records. It was an adjustable rate mortgage.
Shortly after his dismissal at the bank, Cappelli reimbursed the loss - $114,989 - to SunTrust Bank, according to police reports. The bank then gave all the funds to the foundation.
Mayor Baker said Wednesday that the judicial process has to play out before deciding whether he's guilty or not.
"I'm saddened by the news," he said.
Hahahaha....did you see that run on the bank in LA? Back to '29 again...us commies are LOAOff as the "free market" fails AGAIN...this time is the end...we'll be hanging GOPiggies in the street

haha...look at that...they destroy the economies, and we just laugh and say we told you so...and the morons think we're the villains...elementary, little children.
Who is it that wants us to lose the war in Iraq? Who is it that wants the economy to collapse?
How about that market...will it stop soon...or is it going on dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooown? You're done either way, but a nice crash...that would be supah.
You want America to be "done". That makes you not only a traitor, but also a fool.
Who is it that wants us to lose the war in Iraq? Who is it that wants the economy to collapse?
Pooooooooooooooor, simple fuck ax the wrong question...it is who told you this would happen with your insane policies...who caused it to happen with their INSANE policies...and who's rubbing it into your stupid fuckface right now...I am, fool...after the crash, we'll clean it up like we did last time. Then we can get the REAL America back.
These policies are sooooo much better...
Once again, John Edwards' money is getting in the way of his message.
His Democratic presidential campaign spent Friday responding to a front-page Wall Street Journal report showing that a company that Edwards worked for and has invested $16 million in, Fortress Investment Group, owns mortgage companies that have sought to foreclose on homeowners in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans. The newspaper identified 34 homes that are the subject of foreclosure suits.
Edwards, who made a fortune as a trial lawyer, worked for Fortress from late 2005 through 2006. Campaign finance reports show its employees and family members have contributed heavily to his campaign.
DNC. Masters of do as I say, not as I do.
"Karl Rove dreamed of creating a "permanent Republican majority." But as President Bush's longtime adviser exits the Washington scene, the political landscape he helped chart is already shifting beneath his feet: The era of conservative values -- a tight-fisted approach toward government aid to the poor, traditional positions on social issues and a belief in a muscular foreign policy -- that emerged in the 1990s is coming to a close." 8/19
White House Caught Lying Again: This Time About Surge Report 8/18

Dan Bartlett, on the White House's use of right wing blogs:
I mean, talk about a direct IV into the vein of your support. It’s a very efficient way to communicate. They regurgitate exactly and put up on their blogs what you said to them. It is something that we’ve cultivated and have really tried to put quite a bit of focus on.
