A female political pundit has been heavily criticised for suggesting Lara Logan should have seen her sex attack coming - and for calling the Egyptians who were protesting for democracy 'animals'. Debbie Schlussel posted a picture of Miss Logan on her blog, under the headline: 'Islam Fan Lara Logan Gets a Taste of Islam', before adding 'How fitting that Lara Logan was “liberated” by Muslims in Liberation Square while she was gushing over the other part of the “liberation".' It comes as an American academic, Nir Rosen, yesterday resigned from his post at New York University after calling Miss Logan...

Ms. Schlussel, a well-known conservative with an interest in Islam, speculates that she may have been shut out for having slammed Paramount’s documentary critique of the public education system, “Waiting for Superman.” On Oct. 8, Ms. Schlussel asked in a review whether anybody really believed that the well-parented, highly intelligent, behaviorally intact children portrayed in “Waiting for Superman” were typical of inner city kids. “Only if you are a moron,” she wrote, in her typically take-no-prisoners fashion. “And that’s how I’d describe anyone who buys into this movie.” After that, said Ms. Schussel, she became “haraam.” That would be Arabic,...

Men--the New Women--Alert By Debbie Schlussel On this site, we've been following--with dismay--the ever increasing feminization of men in America. Two items, this week, are part of the continuing crisis: * USA Today's Sports Section has been running full-page ads, like the one on page 6C on Tuesday, for L'oreal's new men's beauty line, called, "Men's Expert." The products sound like they are for women. I find it a bit odd for any man to use "Circle Eraser Anti-Dark Circle Eye Moisturizer," or "Stop Lines Anti-Lines Moisturizer," or "Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Moisturizer"--all of which are part of L'Oreal's...

Yesterday, I told you about Rima Fakih, the Hezbollah-supporting Shi’ite Muslim “representing” Michigan in Sunday’s Miss USA pageant. As I told you, Miss Michigan USA Rima Fakih’s relatives are top officials in terrorist group Hezbollah, and many have been Hezbollah and Harakat Amal [Shi'ite Amal terrorist group, allied with/part of Hezbollah] “martyrs” against Israel. (And as I also told you, don’t worry about bikinis and almost no clothes worrying Hezbollah. The Islamic terrorist group has touted Fakih all over the place, including on Al-Manar because it believes she will further the Hezbollah cause. The Islamic concept of deceiving infidels–taqiyyah–is employed...

In this movie executive produced by Beyonce Knowles, her father/manager, Matthew Knowles, and Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Beyonce plays the Black wife of a Black investment executive. Her husband is relentlessly pursued and stalked by a hot, White (and crazy) blonde temp (Ali Larter). Although the husband never gives in to the White chick's pursuits, she frames him up to make it look as if he did, and he's in the doghouse with his wife. And the Black couple is surrounded by a cadre of brainless and otherwise non-ideal human beings with gaping flaws. There is the lecherous, married White male...

So, to those of you who keep blaming Obama for pandering to Muslims but were oh so quiet when Bush did no different, and now exhibit the imbecile quality of missing this utter screw-up, I don’t join you because I actually knew and know what is going on. I pay attention, and you only wake up when someone on the other side of the aisle does the same as your own alleged ideological bed partners. And that’s why we’ll get more fine examples of mediocrity and jeopardy in both Bush and Obama. I don’t know how you expect better behavior...

Earlier today she sent a copyright complaint. Then whined when I put her URL on the no post list. Now she's threatening some kind of legal action if I don't pull all of a certain poster's posts about her "in one hour!" Whiney little green-eyed beotch sure can sling the hash against Sarah and others, but apparently can't take it if someone slings a little back. As far as I know, it's not illegal to criticize members of the press (or of the wannabe political hack class).

While Imagenation Abu Dhabi is behind a number of overtly pro-Muslim and pan-Arabist arthouse movies that will be shown in the U.S. to smaller audiences, it also has its hands in a number of bigger feature films, including–surprise! surprise!–a movie starring philo-Semite Mel Gibson (“The Beaver”) and directed by his biggest defender, Jodi Foster. Plus the company has partnered with Steven Spielberg and his Dreamworks studio. Imagenation Abu Dhabi hired a former top Walt Disney pictures exec, Edward Borgerding, as its CEO, as well as many other top Hollywood veterans to run the company’s operations, because these monied Muslim oil...

For the last several years, Sean Hannity and the Freedom Alliance “charity” have conducted “Freedom Concerts” across America. They’ve told you that they are raising money to pay for the college tuition of the children of fallen soldiers and to pay severely wounded war vets. And on Friday Night, Hannity will be honored with an award for this “Outstanding Community Service by a Radio Talk Show Host” at Talkers Magazine’s convention. But it’s all a huge scam. In fact, less than 20%–and in two recent years, less than 7% and 4%, respectively–of the money raised by Freedom Alliance went to...

Here are a few clues for the idiots who buy into her BS: Islam is not (about) extremists. They’re not who we are. Riiiiight. First of all, Fakih is a Shi’ite Muslim. The Ground Zero mosque is a Sunni mosque. Shi’ites and Sunnis hate each other. It’s what the very long Iran-Iraq war was all about. It’s why Dubai and other Gulf States expelled their Sunni populations. It’s why Yemen has Shi’ite terrorists fighting the Sunni government. Of course, she doesn’t want her Sunni enemies to have a mosque there. If it were a Shi’ite mosque, well, that’s another story....

Where’s the ACLU? Crickets chirping whenever the separation of mosque and state is involved, as with Dearbornistan’s Fordson High School a/k/a Hezbollah High, which scheduled football practice at Midnight in observance of Ramadan, a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause. Remember, this is a tax-funded public high school in the United States of America. Several years ago, I told you about Fordson (see also, here), where the majority of the students are Muslim, and where Islamic proselytizing and discrimination against non-Muslim students and faculty is openly embraced. I told you about the school’s then-principal Imad Fadlallah, who is...

Imagine, if you will, that you're a normal person and then one day a quasi-famous mentally ill blogger becomes fixated on you the way Gollum was fixated on the Ring. Even though she hasn't been setting the world on fire lately, she has been on TV, on the Howard Stern show and she's written for the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, & The Washington Times. Most people in the know realize she's off her rocker, but how many people are in the know? How many fans does she have who don't realize what she's really like? So this...

Much is being made about Sarah Palin’s rock star-like contract demands, as documented in a copy of her contract, which California students conveniently found in a dumpster. Since mindless, gullible Obamabot-like Palinbot’s turned this clueless vessel into a big star, I can’t begrudge her demands for First-Class airfare and unopened bottles of water. Who wants to drink water from “pre-opened” bottles? I wouldn’t. It’s the part of her contract that’s not getting attention, though, that should. Since the woman has trouble uttering complete sentences and answering even the most basic questions, like, “what magazines and newspapers do you read,” or...

If Barack Obama had any guts, he’d have expelled this guy–this Muslim diplomat who thinks threatening shoe bombs and lighting fires is funny (and a way to test our response and out the Federal Air Marshals on the plane). But he doesn’t have the guts. And don’t think that President Bush–whose Islamo-pandering was not as overt but just as deep, nauseating, and harmful–would have the guts either. Bush’s inept, Muslim butt-kissing National Security Advisor Fran Townsend joined the chorus of the stupid and described last night’s incident as a “misunderstanding.” She sounded like Janet Napolitano when she said, “The system...

We’re finally starting to see the rest of the world come to realize what I originally reported on this site: that both Sean Hannity and Freedom Alliance are defrauding donors to their scams, er . . . “charities.” And now, as a result of my work, a major charity evaluator–a charity evaluator whose rating of the group I exposed as completely flawed–has woken up downgraded Freedom Alliance, slashing its rating in half. A few weeks ago, I blew the lid off of the fraud that is Sean Hannity’s Freedom Concerts and the scam “charity” known as “Freedom Alliance.” I showed...

If you’re planning to see Disney’s new version of “Alice in Wonderland,” know that it really isn’t Alice in Wonderland at all. It’s Gloria (Steinem) and Betty (Friedan) and Susan (Sarandon) in a high tech, souped up, feminist wonderland. It’s like NOW (the National Organization for Women) invaded a kids’ flick and turned it into a horror movie. There’s nothing wondrous or wonderful about it. It’s dumbed down baloney. The new “Alice” is about the horrors of marriage and how, even back in the 1800s a young girl knows more about business and trading in far off lands than a...

She’s right. Tomorrow, I’m gonna stop being unfair to bananas and call them soda. And apples, well . . . it’s not nice to exclude them from the meat group. Gonna call ‘em steak. She also said that specific assignments often call exclusively for gender-neutral language. Wow, someone’s parents are blowin’ a whole lot of money. Keith Reisinger, graduate student instructor for the Women’s Studies Department, said the issue reaches far beyond any departmental policy or the confines of the University. “I think we as a whole need to change how we talk about gender and people,” he said. Me,...

Rick Synder: Is He MI's Revenge Of The Nerds?

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration insisted that Richmond International Airport issue its highest-level security clearance to a TSA security officer with a felony conviction for robbery. The current employee was 17 years old when he committed the crime and 18 when convicted. The TSA said such juvenile adjudications do not bar people from employment. The airport would not identify the TSA employee nor reveal his age. The employee did not divulge on his application—though a records check last fall did—that he had been found guilty of robbery within the past 10 years. The federal agency’s demand that RIC issue the...

In my view, his presence on these shows alone should disqualify him, but Sarah Palin thinks he’s just wonderful because Sarah Palin doesn’t think. She’s a dummy, and it’s time her blind worshipers woke up to that, but they refuse to awaken from their slumber. Does it not bother her that, as the Sultan points out, Rand Paul compared the U.S. military to Hitler? Hellooooo . . . ? Either Sarah Palin supports Rand Paul’s nutty views against torturing terrorists and siding with Iran against America or she’s just ignorant and uninformed beyond belief. I vote for both, which is...

Over the last couple of weeks, a number of readers asked me what I thought about Sarah Palin supporting and actively campaigning for amnesty, global warming theory, and “I would close Gitmo” Republican, John McCain. That, I can understand, since he’s the moron who idiotically catapulted the empty skirtsuit to fame in the first place. That said, it’s not just McCain. The Sarah PAC also gave $1,000 to Team Graham, the campaign committee of amnesty supporter and “don’t torture terrorists” Republican U.S. Senator Ashley Graham, whom Rush Limbaugh appropriately calls, “Ashley Grahamnesty.” And her support is specifically for his primary....

My friend, Orthodox Rabbi, California-based writer, blogger, and fellow political conservative, Rabbi Dov Fischer, has the disturbing scoop on Ms. Fiorina. He is the head rabbi of Young Israel of Orange County, a Modern Orthodox synagogue, of whose Detroit branch both my grandfathers were co-founders. Rabbi Dov notes a very recent video, posted below, in which Ms. Fiorina details her very friendly, “working” relationship with shakedown artist, anti-Semite, and racist Jesse Jackson, when she welcomed him to his shakedown stop at Hewlett-Packard while she was CEO. Anyone who describes Jackson with the word “gracious,” as she did, is simply brain...

“Edge of Darkness“: You know the drill: an evil American defense contractor (aren’t they all evil, in the Hollywood playbook?) mass-murders innocent left-wing activists and employees who are trying to expose the company’s evil activities. Oh, and did I mention that the defense contractor, “Northmoor” (probably supposed to be Northrop),” is in bed with an evil, effeminate Republican Massachusetts U.S. Senator, to whose campaign its CEO is a big contributor? Well, they made this movie before Scott Brown’s election, but ya never know. Things can always be quickly edited to fit Hollywood’s latest propaganda narrative. But, wait. .... Then, there’s...

Good evening Ms. Schlussel – I have not written to you in a long time, but still follow your blog closely. You posted a letter I wrote to you right after the election of Obama. I was despondent. I believe I said something like for the first time I feel that I don’t know my country anymore. Tonight, with the win of Scott Brown, my faith in America has been somewhat restored, and I feel an optimism that I have not felt in over a year. We can do this. We can get our country back on track. All is...

A few other things that Ted Kennedy’s hometown newspaper forgot to mention about Lt. Col. Scott Brown: * He knows how to drive and won’t likely submerge any cars or women under water and forget to call the police and let them know about it until many hours later. * He won’t wake up his nephew in the middle of the night to go to Au Bar to pick up chicks and rape ‘em. * We won’t likely be reading about his liquid lunches at La Brasserie, where the main course is en flagrante delicto with some unselect, willing bim....

As you may know, Dorothy, who does great investigative reporting, has been on the case of the outrageous, trumped up prosecution of the Amirault Family of Massachusetts and has exposed it as baseless in her reporting over the last three decades. The Amiraults–hard-working, successful people who busted their asses to get off of welfare and make something of themselves–were sent to prison on ridiculous, phony, coached child molestation charges, without a shred of evidence. And Martha Coakley, as a prosecutor, was chief among those who destroyed that innocent family. An excerpt: What does this say about her candidacy? (Ms. Coakley...

Scott Brown In 1982: I'd Know Who I'd Vote For

Yes, Reid’s comments about Barack Obama, as reported in “Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime,” a new book by two mainstream media reporters, weren’t smart. But were they untrue? And should he be attacked with the same political correctness and intolerance from the right that we always denounce from the left? Oh, and by the way, if conservatives are going to accept the reporting by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, then they must also accept the book’s reporting–hardly a surprise–that Sarah Palin was a complete ignoramus, basically a dummy (no shocker,...

The “Mr. Koubriti,” referred to in the letter from Helfrick, is Karim Koubriti, an Islamic terrorist who plotted to blow up the U.S. Air Force Base in Incirlik Turkey, as well as Disneyland and hotels in Las Vegas. (More details about him here.) Though two federal juries said he was an Islamic terrorist, Mr. Koubriti now lives free in the Detroit area, where he is on the fast-track to become a U.S. citizen, and has a Commercial Drivers License (he drives a truck–just what you want Islamic terrorists in the U.S. doing as a profession). Mr. Straus worked with Mr....

Debbie Schlussel Attacks Steven Crowder without Justification (Conservative Cannibalism) Video Explanation of the Contraversy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VqsmPbFapg 1) Steven Crowders orignial report on Detroit: 'Detroit in Ruins, Crowder Discovers No Town in Motown' http://www.pjtv.com/v/2876 2) Debbie Schlussel's response: 'Stop Sending Me His False Video: Steven Crowder Pulls “Facts” Out of His Butt; Fake News Shown on FOX News' http://www.debbieschlussel.com/14124/stop-sending-me-his-false-video-steven-crowder-pulls-facts-out-of-his-butt/

... [M]eet Umar Abdulmutallab’s lawyer, Miriam Siefer, whose salary you are paying. [...] During the Detroit terror cell case, she represented Karim Koubriti, an Islamic terrorist in a cell, which plotted to blow up the U.S. Air Force Base in Turkey, where U.S. AWACS and Israeli F-16s are based and from where they took off. They also plotted to blow up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and planned to detonate in Disneyland. During the course of her “representation” of terrorist Koubriti, Siefer and her fellow public defender, Richard Helfrick a/k/a Rick Helfrick (who will probably also assist her in...

I believe the terrorists must know this. They pick the flights from Amsterdam for a reason. It’s no coincidence that two different Nigerians chose to cause a ruckus on the exact same flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on two different days. Hmmm . . . did the system work? Sure doesn’t sound like it if she can’t even insist on U.S. Air Marshals on flights from Amsterdam. If they had any cojones–and even though she looks like she’s of that gender, she doesn’t–the Obama administration would have told the Dutch, “No air marshals, no flights from Amsterdam to anywhere near...

You let a dude from a Muslim country and no luggage on a U.S.-bound plane with NO passport?! Hellooooo . . .?: While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, ‘He’s from Sudan and we do this all the time.’” Mutallab is Nigerian. Haskell believes the man may have been trying to garner sympathy for Mutallab’s lack of documents by portraying him as a Sudanese refugee. The ticket agent referred Mutallab and his companion to...

I thought I was dreaming, last night, when I watched the latest episode of the CBS legal drama, “The Good Wife,” and the villain was a racist, crooked, LIBERAL judge. It’s one of the only shows I watch anymore on prime time TV. Ostensibly, the show is about a scorned wife, Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), whose politico husband (Chris Noth) is caught in an Elliot Spitzer-style affair and scandal and sent to jail, and how she must pick up the pieces and go back to work as a lawyer. But, really, it harkens back to one of those serious legal...

Ah, so nationalized healthcare doesn’t work, they’re essentially saying. And to make up for the gap, people will have to buy private insurance. Hmmm . . . isn’t private insurance allegedly “discriminating” against the poor and those with pre-conditions the thing ObamaCare is supposed to solve? It’s very clear it doesn’t solve that. Germany, with this move, is moving away from government healthcare toward private providers because government can’t afford it. And yet the ObamaCare proponents are citing Germany as an example of how government healthcare works better than private insurance? Someone’s not paying attention. And it isn’t the opponents...

Does this woman, Sarah Palin, ever tell the truth? No. Sadly, those who’ve anointed her their Obamessiah on the Right are in such teen puppy love they can’t face facts. She’s been compared to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” but as this makes clear, it’s far more like “Mrs. Palin Brings Washington Cronyism and Back Room Deals to Alaska.”

The current crop of conservative “heroes” shows conservatives’ level of desperation in the Obama era. And it’s pathetic. Instead of taking advantage of the Obama morass and elevating great conservative thinkers who espouse family values AND conservative free market values, the lumpenconservatariat has latched onto bimbos, empty vessels, and even liberals, who espouse a single value or two that conservatives like. There’s a difference between coalitions and mergers. And it’s dangerous that so many on the right can’t see the difference to save their lives . . . or save their movement. I’m not talking about real conservatives candidates like...

We’re truly in an age of intolerance–by leftists, Muslims, former hippies, minority groups, etc. You can’t hold mainstream conservative American values in America and be a prominent voice for them without coming repeatedly under attack. Apparently, a Nazi far-leftist, Soros, is more acceptable.

Goodell lowered himself and entered the disgusting fray of faux-orthodoxy against Rush Limbaugh in his bid to become a part owner of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. He attacked Limbaugh as “divisive” and publicly opposed his NFL ambitions. So did Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay. Limbaugh may very well soon own part of the Rams. And Goodell will have to eat crow and work with the ownership team of which he’s a part. This was a boneheaded move and not at all professional. Goodell reduced himself to a nobody by publicly denouncing Limbaugh. These people sound like Politburo members, not...

DebbieSchlussel.com has learned that Robert Schoch, the Special Agent in Charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for Los Angeles, is under investigation for alleged embezzlement and/or misuse of ICE funds used in undercover operations. Mr. Schoch and the Los Angeles Deputy Special Agent in charge, Jennifer Silliman, were escorted from the ICE federal offices in Long Beach, California, and had their badges and guns taken from them (standard procedure when an agent is under investigation and put on leave). They were both put on administrative leave pending a continuing investigation. A search warrant was reportedly executed on Agent Schoch’s...

Despicable: Sean Vannity Hosts Anti-Semite Ex-Con on Yom Kippur, Allows Him to Rant About “The JOOOS” Did you hear Sean Hannity’s radio show, yesterday? I don’t listen to the time-robbing ignorant blather that is a shabby re-run of the previous three hours of the far superior Rush Limbaugh show. And I was observing Yom Kippur then, anyway. But readers have informed me that, yesterday, Vannity hosted an anti-Semite and mostly stood by as the anti-Semite went on and on about the Jews and how bad they are. The anti-Semite is disgraced former Congressman Jim Traficant (real name, Traficante), who is...

You’d think that a man who made such a big deal about a Muslim Congressman getting sworn into Congress using a Koran would be the last person to spend Judaism’s most important holiday with an extremist Muslim–the last person to use the day as an exercise in moral equivalency and interfaith multi-culti crap.

I'm not a regular reader of Debbie Schlussel nor am I a fan (she seems a bit low class at times), so I just became aware of her criticism of Governor Palin. If you scan the archives of her site debbieschlussel.com you will see that she was an early supporter of Sarah Palin. That makes her criticism all the more interesting. Here are ten articles from Debbie's site. In the first one, she is still a Palin supporter, but also criticizes her for her choice of baby names. Beginning with the second article, she really begins to tear into her....

I just heard the news that former CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite died. And perhaps I will be one of the few with the guts to be real and say it: I'm not sad to see this overrated liar go. Buh-bye. Cronkite enjoyed a long and glamorous life, unlike many of our late teen and 20-something American troops against whom he editorialized on a nightly basis. They died on the killing fields of Vietnam in no small part because he contributed to the video demoralization of America and the resulting lack of commitment to help our boys win the Vietnam War....

Nasty Debbie Schlussel hates Sarah Palin, ~ refering to her as vapid, and her 18 year old daughter as "slutty". Deb complains about hate mail she gets, but Ms Schlussel has been very hateful in her diatribes. She is intolerant of any criticism, of which she will interpret as threats- I don't just mean the obvious retorts she get as her website. She has turned on fellow conservatives(such as at FoxNews), she is now scathing against Ann Coulter for defending Sarah Palin! Deborah Schlussel should be boycotted!
