On July 28, 2006, a Muslim entered the building of the Seattle Jewish Federation and shot every Jew he saw, murdering one woman and wounding five others. On the same day, Mel Gibson was arrested on DUI charges and while intoxicated let loose with anti-Semitic invective at the Jewish police officer who arrested him. Question: Which story has most troubled the Left? The answer is known to any American who can hear or read. So, the real question is: Why? Why has the shooting and murder of Jews elicited less angst from the Left than the anti-Semitic statements made by...

<p>Too bad. The Today Show trotted out Lester Holt to interview Sean Hannity. It would have been more entertaining if Katie Couric had handled it. In fact, perhaps the most telling part of his appearance was the dripping-with-venom tease that Katie did for it.</p>

Sean Hannity is the real deal Posted: March 23, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com Observing Sean Hannity "work a room" is like watching someone welcome a good friend into his home. There is no glad-handing, no feigned interest in what his guest is saying, no forced smile. Rather, there is a warm handshake, meaningful conversation, deep appreciation for the individual and that unmistakable Hannity charm. In a word, Sean Hannity is ... adorable. There, I said it. Might as well get right out there in the open for all the world to read. Sean is intelligent, genuinely kind, correct on the...

Gay Anglican Bishop Says He'd Like to Marry Tue Mar 16,10:24 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop said on Monday he would like to marry his longtime partner, but only if it becomes legal in New Hampshire, where they live. Gene Robinson, who became the ninth bishop of New Hampshire last week, said he and partner Mark Andrew hoped they could wed someday, but they did not plan to go to parts of Canada or to Massachusetts -- if same-sex marriage became legal there...

Seeing Rosie O’Donnell condemn President Bush just after she “married” her girlfriend, Kelli Carpenter, was bizarre in a tiresome sort of way. O’Donnell claimed, “We were inspired to come here by the sitting president and the vile and vicious and hateful comments he made.”If O’Donnell had any sense of humor or irony, she would look at herself and say, “Gee, for such a tolerant, open-minded person, I sure do condemn and vituperate an awful lot, especially on what should have been the happiest day of my life.”Maybe I’m some sort of pervert, but I don’t recall bearing anyone in the...

Judge requests religion-neutral oaths 3-12-04 Posted 8 a.m. LEXINGTON (AP) — A district court judge has asked local officials to remove religious references, including oaths that end "so help me God" and a traditional blessing for the state and court, in courtrooms when he presides. Judge James M. Honeycutt said in a letter that the court system is seeing an increasing number of people from other cultures that are not necessarily Christian. "I believe that the burden should not be on those individuals to speak up and request an oath that does not mention God or use the Christian Bible,"...

ELLENSBURG -- Karen Dammann never chose to take on the Methodist church. She chose to be a minister, a right that women in the church have had since 1956. Then she fell in love, with a woman named Meredith Savage. When Meredith gave birth to a son five years ago, Dammann adopted him. In 2001, Dammann decided that she could not live in the closet and minister at the same time -- she felt dishonest to herself and to her parishioners. She wrote to her bishop, telling him that she was in a relationship with a woman and had a...

<p>For Ofelia Arango, a bookkeeper at the Bay Area Pentecostal Church in Contra Costa County, one short sentence is all it takes to describe what has been going on at San Francisco City Hall for the past month.</p> <p>"It's a sin,'' said Arango, one of 600 members in a spirited Pittsburg congregation. "We're not in favor of homosexual marriage. We condemn it. There hasn't been much discussion about this in church, because everyone already knows it's a sin."</p>

Gay Marriages Continue After A.G. Decision PORTLAND - The American Civil Liberties Union may file its own lawsuit to uphold the right of same-sex couples to get married. ACLU's Executive Director David Fidanque told the media in a press conference not to be surprised. He says the organization is considering a variety of legal avenues. One is to sue for damages on behalf of couples who are being turned down in counties other than Multnomah County. He said that county officials are required by law to follow the Constitution. And so far, he says, all credible legal opinions have...

<p>The most troubling aspect of the city of San Francisco's insistence on granting marriage licenses to gay couples was the utter lawlessness of the action. Mayor Gavin Newsom had ordered City Hall to grant the licenses, and 4,161 gay couples from around the United States have been married in the city since Feb. 12.</p>

Evil skulks the land, and Sean Hannity says we have seen it. It flowered, suddenly and awfully, in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on American soil. It took root in Afghanistan and Iraq, where hateful men plotted against the United States.  Now, said Hannity, visiting Gwinnett County Friday morning, evil remains active as the nation prepares for another presidential contest. The evil-doers this time, he thinks, are those who would compromise America's security.  "Evil must be confronted," the 41-year-old syndicated radio host, Fox News Channel star and best-selling author told about 1,500 fans at a meet-and-greet sponsored by the...

I am a member of the OSU College Republicans.Tonight six of us went and saw Sean Hannity speak here in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thats me on the end in the orange shirt. He spoke for a little over an hour. He signed many books afterwards. We decided not to stay for the book signing because there was just too many people there. Sean is a great speaker. Sean spoke about the evils of liberalism, and the evils of communism. He made fun of Clinton A LOT, lol. He ripped Kennedy, Kerry, Daschle, etc. Sean does a great Clinton impression. Sean talked...

This week the small staff at ReganBooks - the highly profitable publishing imprint at Rupert Murdoch's HarperCollins - received good news and bad news. The good news is that Sean Hannity's "Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism and Liberalism," a ReganBooks title, has just hit No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. The bad news is that four more employees of the notoriously sharp-tongued Judith Regan have just left the imprint. The departure of longtime marketing director Carl Raymond and his assistant (whom Regan, in a brief phone interview, referred to as "a temp"), leaves ReganBooks without...

© 2004 WorldNetDaily.com From his perch at the current ground zero in the battle over traditional marriage, San Francisco-based syndicated talk-show star Michael Savage warns one of America's "last institutions" is under attack from radical homosexuals with an agenda that mirror's revolutionary communists. "Gay marriage is an oxymoron," Savage said in comments e-mailed to WND. "It is a mockery of marriage by radical homosexuals who wish to destroy one of the last cornerstones of our culture. Those who have studied the communist agenda understand very well that Karl Marx himself derided marriage and family." He quoted from Marx's Communist Manifesto, which said,...

Thousands of Long Islanders turned out Saturday night to meet and greet conservative media star Sean Hannity, who spent the evening thanking his fans and signing copies of his just-released book, "Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism and Liberalism." Hannity's hometown bookstore, Huntington's "Book Revue," was already packed to the rafters when the Fox News Channel commentator arrived. He began by revving up the crowd with several well-aimed barbs at Hillary Clinton, who had appeared at the same venue last June for her own booksigning. Referring to a passage from Sen. Clinton's book, Hannity wondered aloud, "Did she say...

This is great but Paul O'Neill is still 2nd, Franken still in top 10

To: Califonia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco has violated California law by Marrying Same-sex couples in San Francisco. It is patently unlawful to issue marriage certificates to same-sex couples. Section 308.5 of the California Family Code plainly defines a valid marriage as being limited to one man and one woman. Furthermore, California Penal Code section 115 prohibits the knowing procurement of any false or forged instrument to be filed or recorded in any public office, making such an act a felony punishable by up to three (3) years in prison. The Mayor of San Francisco is...

<p>State Attorney General Bill Lockyer on Saturday rebuffed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's demand that he force an end to San Francisco's same-sex marriages, calling the directive political rhetoric.</p> <p>"The governor can direct the Highway Patrol. He can direct the next 'Terminator 4' movie if he chooses. But he can't direct the attorney general in the way he's attempted to do," Lockyer said, adding that Schwarzenegger's written directive "was a statement designed for consumption at the Republican convention."</p>

That's what it says now. Discuss amongst yourselves...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Gay and lesbian couples won another reprieve Friday when a judge declined to immediately stop San Francisco from granting them marriage licenses, saying conservative groups failed to prove the weddings would cause irreparable harm.

During Scarborough Country interview (buchanan ick) and Willie Brown (ugh) said that after CA adopts Newsomes edict on Gay Marriage, CA will demand recognition of the gay marriages from all states under the full faith and credit clause.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The campaign trail has been cluttered with such fantasticos as Sen. John Pierre Kerry, Dr. Howard Dean, Generalissimo Wesley Clark and the Rev Al Sharpton. Now I, too, have had to venture onto the campaign trail, but a more civilized trail it is. With the publication of my cheerful little tome on the junior senator from New York, "Madame Hillary: The Dark Road to the White House," I am on what might be called the literary campaign trail, booming the book's merits hither and yon. That means many appearances on broadcast media, especially talk radio. The exercise...

Have you forgotten? Sean Hannity hasn't. The conservative radio and cable television megastar's most important contribution to political discourse since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks has been his tireless reminder to America's liberal elite that the attacks did indeed happen — and that our enemies, foreign and domestic, must not go unpunished. For the Long Island native, this is a personal mission. He goes to church with families who lost members to the murderous destruction at Ground Zero. He has two young children whose futures and freedoms he passionately wants to preserve. Last July, he hosted a concert that raised...

Sean Hannity's book "Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism" has just been released this week, and it offers explosive revelations about Sen. John Kerry. The Fox News Channel star and nationally syndicated radio host has unearthed a letter Kerry wrote harshly criticizing President Reagan for his retaliation against terrorist leader Moammar Gadhafi. Specifically, the Massachusetts Democrat objected to a retaliatory strike by President Ronald Reagan against the Libyan dictator in 1986. In a never-before-published letter written shortly after Reagan ordered the strikes, Kerry complained that Reagan had overreacted to the bombing by Libyan terrorists of a Berlin...
