Free Republic

This is a new low. MSNBC is a disgrace, and I never expect anything remotely fair or ethical to emerge from their dealings with conservatives, Sarah Palin in particular, but their recent smearing is way over the top--and I'm just...FED UP! Why can't the Left just deal with the real issues? That would be "too much like right," so what do they do? You know what they do because you've seen it so many times before.

<p>How can citizens of a free country speak such hateful words directed at another human being? (you are talking about Chris Parry, right?- Mod) After reading the ignorant postings found on this site Daily KOS I feel sick to my stomach and ashamed to be an American.Get with Michelle Obama on that.</p>

Henrietta Hughes was offered a home by Chene Thompson, wife of State Representative Nick Thompson, who heard the homeless woman’s pleas for help to President Obama before a local and national crowd. The house is in LaBelle, the first home [Chene] Thompson bought after law school. She told Hughes, “Just give me the opportunity to help you.” Hughes broke down in front of thousands when she told the president that she and her son have been homeless for more than a year. They are living in a pickup truck.

Despite all our differences—black and white; young and old; Obama-supporting and sane—one thing binds us together: We all despise college students. And rightfully so, we must add. After all, is anything more annoying than the appalling illiteracy of these self-indulgent, lazy proto-drunkards? We, the crack young staff of “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly,” collectively think not. But there is one way you can get back at these obnoxious upper-middle-class acquaintance rapists. You can tease them ceaselessly by composing your own execrable verse in the style of inept collegiate balladry. That is to say, dear reader, you can write a poem in the...

In keeping with the myth-making propensities of the Obama campaign, former Pennsylvania Sen. Harris Wofford made an overwrought introduction of the candidate to the audience, claiming that Sen. Obama was already cast in the same mold of unique greatness as Washington and Lincoln. Putting aside such improbable silliness, Obama was in front of the cameras during his campaign swing in Philadelphia for damage control from the negative media coverage of his long-time pastor and “spiritual mentor,” Rev. Jeremiah Wright. For over a week, this bitter, clown holy man, was shown hectoring and working his flock into a lather on church-produced...

(IsraelNN.com) Professor Richard Dawkins, a senior British evolutionary scientist and outspoken atheist, drew fire on Monday for saying that Jews “more or less monopolize American foreign policy.” Religious Jews are a small group, Dawkins said, but are “fantastically successful” in lobbying the US government. Dawkins, who is currently in the US in an attempt to promote atheism and fight religious influence, expressed hope that atheists would be similarly successful in determining government policy. A number of Jewish leaders responded immediately, with ADL head Abe Foxman calling Dawkin’s remarks “classic anti-Semitism.” Malcom Hoenlein, a senior official in the Conference of Presidents...

New York’s anti-cop forces have roared back to life thanks to a fatal police shooting of an unarmed man a week ago. The press is once again fawning over Al Sharpton, Herbert Daughtry, Charles Barron, and sundry other hate-mongers in and out of city government as they accuse the police of widespread mistreatment of blacks and issue barely veiled threats of riots if they do not get “justice.” The allegation that last weekend’s shooting was racially motivated is preposterous. A group of undercover officers working in a gun- and drug-plagued strip joint in Queens had good reason to believe that...

The family of an Aberdeen Maryland serviceman killed in Iraq is asking for help against protesters trying to disrupt his funeral this Saturday. Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class David Roddy of Aberdeen, was killed while disarming improvised explosive devices in Al Anbar Province in Iraq.

Protestors from a Kansas church known for picketing soldiers' funerals failed to show Monday afternoon at rites in Cleveland for Sgt. David Weir, who was killed in Iraq. But about 70 members of the Patriot Guard motorcycle corps did - along with many other local flagwavers. Bradley County authorities had a spot marked off for the protestors. It was in a field across from Fike Funeral Home - 300 feet away. The field stayed empty as the private funeral services went on inside the funeral home. The body was taken afterwards to the National Cemetery in Chattanooga for burial. There...

Sen. Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, took the Senate floor yesterday and likened American servicemen to Nazis: On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they urinated or defecated on themselves, and had been left there for 18-24 hours or more. On one occasion, the air conditioning had been turned down so far and the temperature was so cold in the room, that the barefooted detainee was shaking with cold. . . . On another occasion,...

There was an earlier thread showing "protestors" with signs about Reagan being in Hell. It turns out it wasn't the kooky lefites, but it was a goofy gadfly group that is not left wing -- just nutty. But, here is a liberal cartoonist of some renown putting it forth.

Did anyone just see the Saturday Night Live cartoon ragging on The Passion of the Christ? They had it as "The Passion of the Dumpty" as in Humpty Dumpty. Showing a fried egg as the last supper and going to heaven and making fun of the imgage of Christ dying on the cross. I have never felt more insulted than I do right now as a Catholic. Plus they had Bush smear commercials in between the skits and painted Mel Gibson to be insane.

[ResisterSister added bold highlights] CANTON -- Nearly 200 area people stood in front of the McKinley Center for a peace rally that evolved into more of an anti-Republican campaign. The war protest in the 800 block of Market Avenue N allowed area residents to join millions of other people around the globe protesting the U.S. war with Iraq. Jeff Seemann of the Canton Anti-War Association, which sponsored the event, announced: “There’s a million people in Rome right now.” Cheers rose from a sea of signs sporting slogans: Who would Jesus bomb; No blood for oil; Love, not war; Obey the...
