Haaretz reports that "the Iranian news agency Khabar quoted Ahmadinejad as telling Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh that Iran views the support of the Palestinian people as part of its religious and national duty and that Iran will stand behind the Palestinian nation 'until the big victory feast which is the collapse of the Zionist regime.' In a phone conversation between the two leaders, the Iranian president said that the continued Hamas resistance against Israel and the group's achievements would always be 'a source of pride for all Muslims.' Iran does not acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel and vowed to support Hamas until what Ahmadinejad calls 'deliverance from Zionists.'"

Mahmoud Ahmadenijad: Iran Will Support Hamas Until Collapse of Israel
Former Clinton Aide Mark Penn On The Media Treatment Of Sarah Palin
I would usually not quote Mark Penn on much of anything, but when even he recognizes the special scrutiny the media is giving Sarah Palin, what essentially amounts to heavy pro-Obama bias, then you know the media has some real issues. Granted he worked for Clinton and may not like the fact that he lost to Obama, but he is still a Democrat admitting that Sarah Palin is getting treated differently. He is still a Democrat, mind you, that knows a thing or two about campaigns and how the media treats candidates.
Mark Penn said, "I think the people themselves saw unfair media coverage of Senator Clinton. I think if you go back, the polls reflected very clearly what 'Saturday Night Live' crystallized in one of their mock debates about what was happening with the press. I think here the media is on very dangerous ground. I think that when you see them going through every single expense report that Governor Palin ever filed, if they don't do that for all four of the candidates, they're on very dangerous ground. I think the media so far has been the biggest loser in this race. And they continue to have growing credibility problems."
Penn went on to say, "I think that the media is doing the kinds of stories on Palin that they're not doing on the other candidates. And that's going to subject them to people concluding that they're giving her a tougher time. Now, the media defense would be, 'Yeah, we looked at these other candidates who have been in public life at an earlier time.' What happened here very clearly is that the controversy over Palin led to 37 million Americans tuning into a vice-presidential speech, something that is unprecedented, because they wanted to see for themselves. This is an election in which the voters are going to decide for themselves. The media has lost credibility with them."

Far Left Radio Host Randi Rhodes Suggests Palin Sleeps With Teen Boys

Charlie Gibson's Bias
The following are some questions Charlie Gibson asked Obama three months ago:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?
The following are some questions asked of Palin this past week:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war?

Whoopi To McCain: "Should I Be Worried About Being A Slave?"
This is a question that comes out of pure ignorance on the part of Whoopi. This is what she said to John McCain on The View: "Should I be worried about being a slave, about being returned to slavery because certain things happened in the Constitution that you had to change." She has obviously never read the Constitution or she would know that the end of slavery was enshrined in our Constitution in the form of a constitutional amendment after the Civil War. Reading the Constitution would tell you that much, you do not need to have taken a constitutional law course at Harvard to figure this one out. It is not a matter of needing activist liberal judges to make sure that Whoopi is not a slave again. It's in the document. Put simply, Whoopi exemplifies the arrogance of ignorance.

Obama Ad: McCain Is Old And Does Not Know How To Use E-Mail
I do not know if the Obama camp realizes that older people also vote. The ad is just plain stupid on the merits.
The Boston Globe wrote in 2000 that "McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes." Forbes also wrote back in 2000 that "in certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. 'She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious, McCain admits." Apparently the Obama camp did not do minimal and basic research before putting out this despicable ad. That they could put out such an ad is inexcusable in light of the quotes I just provided. The Obama campaign ought to be ashamed.

Pam Anderson, her usual highly intelligent and sophisticated self, summarizes her nuanced views by saying "she can suck it."
Matt Damon says that Sarah Palin is like a "really bad Disney movie."
By the way, Sarah Palin never banned any books. That is nothing more than an internet circulated liberal smear.

NY Dem Governor David Patterson Uses The Race Card Against Republicans
Apparently there are racial "undertones" and "coding" in the jokes about Obama being a "community organizer" that Republicans made at the convention. How community organizer can be translated as black makes little sense to me, but this kind of nonsense comes as no surprise at it this point.

The Unlikely Defender Of Sarah Palin That Is Mike Gravel
Former Democrat Alaska Senator and no-chance candidate in the Democrat primary Mike Gravel "applauds" McCain's selection of Sarah Palin on liberal radio. He goes on to defend her when it comes to the non-scandal that is "Troopergate" saying it will "come out in her favor" because the trooper "should have been fired." He even says Palin has "more executive experience than Obama, Biden, and McCain have together." He points out that the disagrees with Palin on the issues, that she is not his "cup of tea" in that regard, but that he does not hold that against her because as the Republican VP pick that is to be expected. Gravel says that McCain "respects the fact that she has the courage to stand up to Republican corruption, not Democratic corruption, Republican corruption." You can get a clear sense that the radio hosts had no idea what they were getting into when they invited Gravel, himself a very liberal guy as is evident by the very end of the interview, on to their program. What is also just wonderful is that these liberal hosts have no response to the common sense that their fellow liberal Mike Gravel is espousing.

Clarence Thomas On Affirmative Action
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas addressed leaders of historically black colleges Tuesday and focused on the issue of affirmative action. He said that affirmative action "has become this mantra and there almost has become this secular religiosity about it. I think it almost trumps thinking." He went on to say his "suggestion would be to stop the buzz words and to focus more on the practical effect of what we're doing. I can tell you when you have fudge words, it leaves a lot of room for mischief. People have a tendency to read their personal opinions into fudge words. You want, when it comes to the issue of race, absolute words."

Transgendered Professor Working At Yeshiva University
The New York Post reports that Yeshiva University, a religous Orthodox Jewish university, has allowed one of its literature and writing professor's to return after taking leave to undergo sex change procedures. Allow me to simply quote Rabbi Moshe Tendler. He is a senior dean at Yeshiva's rabbinical school and a professor of biology and medical ethics. Rabbi Tendler said, "He's not a woman. He's a male with enlarged breasts. He's a person who represents a kind of amorality which runs counter to everything Yeshiva University stands for. There is just no leeway in Jewish law for a transsexual. There is no niche where he can hide out as a female without being in massive violation of Torah law, Torah ethics and Torah morality." Here is a picture of the professor as he previously appeared:

Convention Bounce: McCain Leads By 10 Percentage Points Among Likely Voters
USA Today reportst that "the Republican National Convention has given John McCain and his party a significant boost, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the weekend shows." McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters. Just before the convention opened in St. Paul the USA Today poll had McCain lagging by 7 percentage points. USA Today further reports that "McCain has narrowed Obama's wide advantage on handling the economy, by far the electorate's top issue. Before the GOP convention, Obama was favored by 19 points; now he's favored by 3...In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples."

Obama Unwilling To Support "Victory" In Iraq Because It Was A "Poorly Concieved Mission"
It seems that Obama thinks he is running for president in 2002 and that the issue of whether we should have gone into Iraq in the first place is what is most important. He is stuck in the past and refuses to deal with the fact that Bush did liberate Iraq, whether Obama agreed with it or not. U.S. forces are there and have been fighting to fulfill their mission. Obama is willing to abandon that mission no matter the conditions on the ground or the consequences that could ensue. What kind of judgment is this for a man whose whole campaign is based on his alleged superior judgment? He is clearly uncomftorable with the word victory, it has no place in the Iraq policy he proposes.

Part 1 Of The O'reilly Interview With Obama
Obama talks about diplomacy with Iran. The Europeans have been engaging in diplomacy for years with Iran over their nuke program to no avail. He goes on to say we need tougher sanctions. O'reilly does not call him on his opposition to the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that declared the Iranian Revolutionary Gaurd a terrorist organization. O'reilly also does not mention that Bush has always been for stronger sanctions against Iran, but that Russia and China are the ones blocking UN Security Council efforts to that effect. How could O'reilly let Obama get away with making it out like Bush is to blame when it is Russia and China that are supporting Iran in the Security Council?
O'reilly also thinks that Obama was "perspicacious" in his opposition to the Iraq war. What kind of person uses the word "perspicacious" in an interview? I guess O'reilly is either proud of flaunting his vocabulary skills, or had a thesaurus on hand before the interview. What O'reilly fails to mention when he discusses the surge is that Obama specifically opposed the surge saying that it would not in any way help the situation in Iraq. It is not simply that he opposed it, but that he opposed it on the grounds that he knew of no one that believed it would make a "substantial difference." McCain and Bush obviously did not believe that or they would not have supported a surge to begin with. Obama now claims the surge has worked because he can no longer rely on his anti-surge nonsense which was all proven wrong. He still says that there is no "political reconciliation" in Iraq, which means he apparently missed the news report from July 1st about the Iraqi government achieving "'satisfactory' progress on 15 of 18 political benchmarks."
Finally, what was that nonsense that O'reilly and Obama advocated about getting Iraq to give us their oil revenues? How can we force the Iraqis to do that? I thought the objective was to try and set up a stable independent Iraqi government that could stand up so that U.S. forces could stand down? Does the new Iraqi government have no need for that oil revenue to run and rebuild their own country?
