A video uploaded to YouTube on Saturday reveals an Arab attempt to lynch a Jew near the village of Asira al-Qibliya in Shomron. The video, which was filmed by the Arabs, shows a group of Arabs surrounding the Jewish man and begin to pelt him with rocks. The Jew is shown tripping and falling on the ground, while the Arabs continue to beat him until several other Jews with rocks in their hands come along and cause the Arabs to run off. video .....

TAMPA — The servants of the Lord wore red as always, and the servants of the law wore pinstripes. But the annual Red Mass for Tampa's legal community struck a new chord of civil disobedience. Bishop Robert Lynch, leader of nearly a half-million Tampa Bay Catholics, surprised two dozen judges and 300 lawyers Wednesday by promising to thwart the federal health care law. It was a departure from his traditional homilies on the virtues of judicial wisdom. If draft regulations aren't changed, Lynch said, the Diocese of St. Petersburg will no longer provide health insurance for its 2,300 employees. Instead,...

Rep. Andre Carson, Congressional Black Caucus chief vote counter said some in Congress would “love to see us as second-class citizens” and “some of them in Congress right now of this tea party movement would love to see you and me ... hanging on a tree.” Despite members of the CBC attempting to rally the black and white guilt votes via despicable false charges of racism against the tea party which includes a ridiculous claim that the tea party wishes to see blacks lynched, the tea party continues to grow. We are winning! As a black tea party activist overwhelmingly...

When the New Hampshire Legislature reconvenes this fall to take up the governor’s vetoes, one of the bills that appears almost certain to be overridden is SB 88, which would broaden an individual’s right to use deadly force to defend oneself in public. The House of Representatives approved the final version of the bill, 283-89, while the Senate followed suit on a 19-5 vote – both comfortably beyond the two-thirds majorities lawmakers need to override Gov. John Lynch’s veto. Just because they can, however, doesn’t mean they should. This bill is as unnecessary as it is unwise, and we urge...

CONCORD – Gov. John Lynch vetoed four bills Wednesday including one to expand a resident’s right to defend himself in public using deadly force (SB 88). “SB 88 would unleash the potential for increasing deadly violence in our communities,” Lynch wrote in his veto message. “It would allow the use of deadly force on street corners, in shopping malls, public parks and in retail stores. Drug dealers and other felons who brandish weapons will be further emboldened to use their weapons, while prosecution of those criminals will be made more difficult because of this bill’s expansion of the right to...

Gov. John Lynch has a chance to make sure that no other Granite Stater winds up in the position in which Moultonborough farmer Ward Bird famously found himself. Bird had an angry encounter with a female stranger on his own property. He said he drew an unloaded pistol, but never pointed it at her. She said he pointed it toward her. He was convicted of felony criminal threatening and sentenced to three years in prison, the mandatory sentence for that crime. Legislators have fixed that flaw in the law, and others. The changes are contained in Senate Bill 88, which...

The transgender victim of a brutal beat-down at a Maryland McDonald's broke her silence to call the attack a "hate crime," and says it's not the first time she's been assaulted. Chrissy Lee Polis told the Baltimore Sun on Saturday the incident, which was captured on video and posted online, has left her "afraid to go outside." "I want to cry, but I need to hold my head up," she said, adding that she's been beaten and sexually assaulted in the past because of her sexual identity.

Jane Lynch, whose "Glee" character, Sue Sylvester, thrives on offending, said a polarizing figure like Ann Coulter would never be invited on the show.

Sherrod Story False By Jeffrey Lord It isn't true. Shirley Sherrod's story in her now famous speech about the lynching of a relative is not true. The veracity and credibility of the onetime Agriculture Department bureaucrat at the center of the explosive controversy between the NAACP and conservative media activist Andrew Breitbart is now directly under challenge. By nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court. All of them dead. But first, it's important to say this. After Shirley Sherrod's firing I wrote a column congratulating Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack for removing her -- based on a viewing of the...

It has been a little more than two weeks since the special election for the 19th District of Florida. The outpouring of support since then has been over whelming. Many of you have called, emailed or publicly asked Ed Lynch to run again. After much thought and strategizing, a conservative victory in this district will be a huge battle. It will not be a run for the weak. However, after analyzing the results from the recent election we have a game plan that will be successful. With our plan we will need to raise $500,000 by Election Day, November 2010....

Voters in congressional District 19 today will choose a replacement for U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler, the Democrat who stepped down in January to head a Middle East think tank. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The district has more than twice as many Democrats as Republicans and voted 65 percent for Barack Obama in 2008. That makes Ted Deutch, a state Senator from Boca Raton, the heavy favorite. But Republican Ed Lynch hopes to ride voter dislike for the new Democratic health care law to an upset victory. And independent candidate Jim McCormick hopes enough voters are...

With just 3 days left until OUR special election, the desperation from our opponents is increasing. The desperation starts with video proof of one of our opponent's supporters taking down lawn signs in the yards of our supporters' private homes. Then an email blast was sent out to thousands of district 19 citizens, misinforming them with statements like this: "Only registered Democrats may participate in the special election on April 13". Additional to that our opponent has partnered with the Palm Beach Post in a negative campaign against my family. Making claims that I am unfit to represent OUR district...

We initially missed this Friday appearance by Republican congressional hopeful Ed Lynch on the Fox Business Network in which he says he’s received “probably a thousand percent increase” in contributions since Democrats passed a health care overhaul bill March 21. Lynch also tells host Stuart Varney that “poling that we’ve done” shows him ahead of heavily favored Democrat Ted Deutch. Deutch’s consultant called that claim “just plain silly.” Lynch, Deutch and independent Jim McCormick are running in an April 13 special election in Palm Beach-Broward District 19, a Democratic bastion that elected “fire-breathing liberal” Robert Wexler seven times. Wexler stepped...

Dick Morris has endorsed Ed Lynch on Sean Hannity’s tv show because he knows this election is the first national referendum on Obamacare. Tuesday can be just another day or a great celebration because we have beaten a Marxist Democrat in the old seat of former Congressman Robert Wexler, a very Marxist Democrat. How Tuesday turns out is up to us; the half of America that actually gets it and wants to save our nation. On Tuesday April 13 there will be a special election in the 19th Congressional District of Florida. Our candidate is Ed Lynch a young strong...

I'M EDWARD LYNCH, your candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in District 19. We are now poised to change the course of our current government....the current administration's radical agenda that is overtaking our country....of which Ted Deutch has been and continues to be a proud supporter. As we approach the APRIL 13th SPECIAL ELECTION, I'm asking you to join me in the fight to take our country back from the hands of those who are choosing not to honor the principles of our Constitution. Let's return it to its rightful owners....the People of the United States. These are not...

You want to fight back? Here’s how. Send Ed Lynch whatever you can to help him send our message to the liberals in Washington. Ed Lynch is the House version of Scott Brown. He is running hard to beat a Democrat trying to hold liberal Robert Wexler’s old seat. We can help put Ed over the top in this first national referendum on Obama’s healthcare scheme on April 13th. Ed Lynch forced Wexler out of office Ed Lynch’s efforts to investigate Robert Wexler and his corrupt dealings ultimately paid off when Wexler prematurely resigned his Congressional Seat and gave the...

Even one of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s floor whips, U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, says a proposed parliamentary move to pass health-care reform would be “disingenuous” and harm the credibility of Congress. In a sign of how tough it’s been for Pelosi to round up votes for the massive bill, Lynch - a South Boston Democrat who supported a House reform package last year - said he’ll probably vote against a key Senate version of the legislation, unless unexpected major changes are made soon. Lynch, who serves as one of Pelosi’s key vote counters, said he also can’t support a proposed...

Tuesday March 16, 2010 CHA Board Bishop: 'I Side With USCCB' against Health Bill By Kathleen GilbertST. PETERSBURG, Florida, March 16, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg has stepped into the row between the Catholic Health Association (CHA), on whose board he is a member, and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), siding with the bishops in fighting the CHA-endorsed abortion-expanding Senate health care bill.The CHA sparked controversy over the weekend by throwing its weight behind the vastly pro-abortion Senate health bill. CHA president Sr. Carol Keehan had issued a letter to lawmakers urging them...

Ed Lynch isn’t just a Republican candidate with the only upcoming special election in the nation. Ed Lynch is as a man whose personal example embodies the very best of the Republican Party. Lynch is no ordinary candidate. After all, what candidate, two weeks before a primary vote, decides to leave his district in favor of leading a rescue mission in Haiti? But that episode, more than any other, demonstrates what Ed Lynch is all about. His choice to save lives rather than campaign is emblematic of Lynch’s life history. As a general contractor, Lynch won a construction bid to...

Keith Ellison, widely hailed as America's first Muslim congressman, could more accurately be described as CAIR and Hamas' man in Congress. Congressman Ellison has been a regular presence at CAIR fundraisers and at pro-Hamas rallies in the United States. As a former member of Farrakhan's Nation of Islam , Ellison has enough anti-semitic and Islamist credentials to satisfy anyone, and had expressed openly anti-semitic beliefs in the past. Since Ellison got his start with CAIR , his attempt to provide support for Hamas is completely unsurprising. Both Hamas and CAIR are projects of the Muslim Brotherhood, which also helped...

Wall Street sees carbon trading and related derivative products as the next big thing in financial innovation. Critics say it's the next big financial mess. Carbon trading provides a way for companies to stimulate green energy and carbon reduction projects by financing them through the purchase of carbon credits. Such trading has slowed over the past year or so amid uncertainty about regulations and global emissions targets. Eventually, though, many expect carbon trading to balloon into a multitrillion-dollar business. FOE and other environmental groups have been pressing the Senate to pass legislation that puts strict limits on banks' involvement in...

With painful honesty, Katie Piper, the former TV presenter tells why she has finally waived her right to anonymity – and reveals the awful events that changed her life for ever However much she would like to forget them, the details of how she lost her dreams, her identity and very nearly her life will stay with Katie Piper for ever. They are burned into both her memory and her face.

They did it to Rush Limbaugh. Who will be next? I am sure Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and others on the Left are struggling to contain their overwhelming feelings of glee and power. They did it! Their campaign of lies and slander portraying Rush Limbaugh as a racist achieved its goal. Rush was dropped from a team bidding to purchase an NFL football team. Rush's dismissal is a victory for political correctness, despicable reporting and high tech lynching. No need to fact check racist accusations against Rush, although a few researchers have pursued and failed to find the alleged racist...

CONCORD, N.H. - Gov. John Lynch said Thursday he will sign a bill to make his state the sixth to legalize gay marriage as soon as the Legislature makes some changes, which legislative leaders immediately said they would back. Lynch asked that the already-approved legislation be revised to better protect churches and their employees against lawsuits if their beliefs preclude them from marrying gays. Gay marriage supporters said they do not object. "Throughout history, our society’s views of civil rights have constantly evolved and expanded," Lynch told reporters. "New Hampshire’s great tradition has always been to come down on the...

Just a general query; when Jesse Jackson said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off, wasn't he recalling a time when black men were lynched? I remember reading history and when such terrible events happened, black men were treated in just the way Jesse suggested. So would it be fair to say Jesse Jackson has done the equivalent of hanging a noose? I can imagine what the press would be doing today if John McCain had said he wanted to cut Obama's nuts off. Any thoughts?

Golf Channel Anchor Kelly Tilghman Says Young Golfers Should 'Lynch Tiger Woods'Posted Jan 8th 2008 2:01PM by Michael David SmithFiled under: Golf, Breaking NewsThe woman you see in the photo here caddying for Arnold Palmer is Kelly Tilghman, a former college golfer at Duke who now is play-by-play announcer for The Golf Channel's PGA Tour broadcasts. Tilghman made a shocking comment during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event. She said -- on the air -- that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley." What was Tilghman thinking? Who knows. It's not entirely clear what...

FOB Kalsu, Iraq -- Those who believe that the campaign in Iraq is a lost cause better not tell that to the soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division -- they think they’re winning. That’s not just their Commanding General, Rick Lynch talking -- that’s the word from every soldier we have listened to for the week we have been with them. These troops ought to know -- many of them are here on their third, year-long tour of duty in Iraq. Those we have been interviewing for an upcoming special edition of War Stories were part of the initial attack...

ISRAEL VS GOLIATH ARAB MUSLIMS' FASCIST CAMPAIGN OF GENOCIDE - AS SIMPLE AS THAT 1) Israel is ONLY about survival against the Goliath Arab Muslim that wants to eradicate it. 2) There are two causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

The New Mexico League of United Latin American Citizens is calling for a federal investigation of the student who ripped down a Mexican flag at the University of New Mexico last month. "We are hoping that the FBI would open up an investigation, not really for what he did to the flag but really it goes deeper," said John Moya, president of one of LULAC's Albuquerque councils. LULAC bills itself as the largest Latino civil rights organization in the country. Moya said his organization is concerned about a July posting on the Internet by a "Peter Lynch" that refers to...

Former POW Jessica Lynch Takes On New Cause (KDKA) PITTSBURGH Former POW Jessica Lynch is taking on a new cause that's near and dear to her heart: helping children. Lynch was thrust into the national spotlight in 2003 when, as an Army private, her convoy was ambushed in Iraq and US troops rescued the then 19-year-old from an Iraqi hospital. Now, as a new chapter of her life unfolds, the new mother and college student is launching a campaign to help raise money for West Virginia University Children's Hospital in Morgantown. Lynch is launching a new fundraising effort, called "Jessi's...

Unlike many Israeli, US cities, West Bank town of Ramallah seems fear-free Aaron Freeman Published: 06.29.07, 18:54 / Israel Opinion There was something about Ramallah that I loved but couldn't put my finger on. I'd never been in the West Bank before. I was in the Middle East as part of the Israeli-Palestinian comedy tour. A group of stand-up comics, or as Israelis say, "Standupists," trying to end the conflict with jokes. We were staying in east Jerusalem, which is sort of West Bank-lite. My Palestinian/American friend and fellow comedian Ray Hanania wanted to take us to meet his relatives...

On Tuesday April 24, the Oversight Committee held a hearing regarding the controversies surrounding the death of Cpt. Pat Tillman and the rescue of Pfc. Jessica Lynch. In Chairman Henry Waxman's opening statement he accused the military of providing false information to the media in order to fabricate "heros." “For Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman, the government violated its most basic responsibility” "In working on this hearing, the Committee has learned of many other cases in which the military failed to tell families the truth.” Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong (USMC, ret.) was deputy commander at United States Central Command from...

As the deputy commander at United States Central Command from 2001 to 2003, I represented the military in dealing with politicians regarding the capture and rescue of Pfc. Jessica D. Lynch in Iraq, and thus I can speak with authority about what really happened after her maintenance convoy got lost near Nasiriya in 2003 and she was taken prisoner. I feel compelled to respond to accusations that have been made in recent days by several politicians. The initial reports from the field regarding Private Lynch stated that she had gone down fighting, had emptied her weapon and that her actions...

TODAY, THE HOUSE Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chaired by Henry Waxman (D-CA) conducted a hearing into "misleading military statements" that followed the death of Pat Tillman and the ordeal of Jessica Lynch. I cannot speak of the Pat Tillman incident, but I can speak to the story of Jessica Lynch.I spent more than two years of my life studying the battle of An Nasiriyah. I read thousands of pages of government reports and personally interviewed nearly one-hundred of the participants of the battle, including four survivors of the 507th Maintenance Company's ambush, several Marines who came upon the...

WASHINGTON, DC -- Army Private Jessica Lynch told a congressional hearing Tuesday morning that "Americans are capable of creating their own heroes" without the military making them up. Lynch, a West Virginia native who got tremendous coverage after a military team rescued her from a makeshift Iraqi hospital, joined relatives of NFL-star-turned war hero Pat Tillman in discussing her time in the limelight. "This is not a time for finger-pointing, but a time for proof," she told the panel. Lynch's platoon was hit by a rocket and grenade attack on the initial drive to Baghdad in 2003. Three in her...

"House committee plans hearings on embellishments in Tillman, Lynch cases"

A lot of the talk coming out of St. Paul these days deals with health care and income taxes. Local Senators Dave Senjem and Ann Lynch are both serving on committees responsible for coming up with the two proposals, but they couldn't disagree more when it comes to what you should be paying. Today the senate introduced a big income tax hike that would pay for popular education programs. The plan would increase what comes out of your paycheck by about 100-dollars per student for the next two years, with all of the money going to state schools and colleges....

Protestantism and Islam: Points of Contact Protestantism may well have begun as a genuine movement of reform. Accepting the teachings of the Church, its adherents wanted to bring the practice of the Church into line with its teachings. This is the object of all Christian movements. However, it very soon developed into something far more radical, jettisoning basic Christian teachings, bringing in doctrines entirely new to Christianity, and having to meld the results into a coherent whole. This involved developing doctrinal and practical solutions to new problems in the field of Christian faith and morals. Most of Protestant teaching was...

Outrage mounts over 'lynch mob' hanging By Neil Tweedie Last Updated: 2:01am GMT 02/01/2007 The execution of Saddam Hussein – widely condemned yesterday as more an exercise in lynch law than judicial punishment – was rushed through by the Iraqi government despite American requests for a delay. A senior Iraqi source said the US ambassador in Baghdad wanted the hanging to be postponed for two weeks but relented when the Shia dominated government rushed through documents approving it. It appeared that the United States was anxious the execution should not be carried out with unseemly haste. The disclosure follows a...

Top 10 Reasons Islam Might Not Be a Religion of Peace Written by Don Feder Thursday, August 31, 2006 A passenger revolt occurred on a Malaga-Manchester flight.  Vacationing Brits refused to fly with two Arabic-speaking men.  This came in the wake of arrests of 21 British-born Muslims who were plotting to blow up as many as 11 trans-Atlantic flights. A spokesman for Britain’s opposition Tory party said the passengers panicked into “behaving irrationally.”  Fancy that, not wanting to fly with members of a faith whose adherents keep trying to blow things up.  Oh, how irrational! Within days of this incident, a Lebanese student...
