    The Republican War on Muslims:

    What a crock… Darryl, you are becoming more idiotic every day… Peter King held hearings on homegrown radical Muslim terrorism. The hearings didn’t investigate US Muslims as a whole, the hearings investigated the Radicalization of Muslims in America. A BIG DIFF unless of course you are a loony liberal with the standard liberalism disease. If they aren’t being radicalized then why are there a significant amount of attacks attributed to radical Muslims Darryl? You mean you can’t enumerate the recent attacks?

    Congressman Peter King is responding to something said by the US Attorney General in Obama’s sadministration. Apparently you FORGOT what Eric Holder said last year… Well when you hang with liberals the synaptic mental processes tend to DROP!

    “The threat has changed from simply worrying about foreigners coming here, to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens — raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born,” Holder added.

    and then later…

    “I have to have all those tools available to me to try to keep the American people safe, and to do the job that I’m supposed to do as a 21st century attorney general,” Holder said. “We are doing everything that we possibly can to keep the American people safe…We are vigilant, we are doing everything we can to keep our homeland secure.”

    But don’t let this Eric Holder fact get in the way of another useless leftist “Friday Night Extravaganza” argument.

    While Roger Dumb Rabbit and others are right in placing skinhead links on this blog, Roger Dumb Rabbit and others run away from the Radicalization of Muslims in America. If Roger Dumb Rabbit and others looked at all terrorism through the same lens, both political sides could work together. But since it seems conservatives are looking at the Radicalization of Muslims in America, liberals want to play the race card AGAIN.

    This whole anti-Muslim hysterical rant by leftists like you Darryl reminds me that you and most of the HA loony crowd are still in the Richard Hofstadter 1964 mindset. Fast forward to now and I read similar crapola from The Daily Beast this week. I’ll let you loony leftists search for the article. Seems the article author wants to attack Peter King instead of wondering why Eric Holder stays up at night over homegrown terrorism. It’s the Daily Beast playing the race card, direct from the DNC!

    Then of course there is this GREAT SMACKDOWNby Congressman Allen West of Congressman Al Green playing the race card.
    Toooooooooooooooooo
    Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunny

    And using Cenk to tell me “The truth about King’s hearings” is as hilarious as last week when you posted “Young Turks: 9-week year old fetus to testify.” Wow Darryl, I didn’t know Cenk was a pregnancy expert. Thanks for that hot tip. What is his MSNBC viewership lately Darryl?

    Wait for it… Every time I place a leftist’s own words and the facts to back it up on this blog, Darryl will call it a semi-incoherent rant. It’s Pavlovian!

    Now onto

    The Great NPR Controversy:

    Somehow this NPR commentary missed the “Friday Night Extravaganza”.

    What happened as a result is that we unwittingly cultivated a core audience that is predominately white, liberal, highly educated, elite. “Super-serve the core” — that was the mantra, for many, many years. This focus has, in large part, brought us to our success today. It was never anyone’s intention to exclude anyone.

    But we have to accept — unapologetically — that this is the franchise we’ve built. We have to look at this because the criticisms that are coming at us — whether they’re couched in other things — do have some legitimacy. We must, as a starting point, take on board some of this criticism. Before we can set a path, we have to own this.

    Finally someone tells the truth about white liberal elite thought at NPR.

    Now we know the truth about NPR from an insider. Facts are excellent tools against liberal thought!

    Looks like James O’Keefe was right again!

    A nuclear reactor building in Japan has exploded and is releasing radiation, MSNBC reports. Authorities have evacuated 58,000 people from the surrounding area.

    If this happened in the U.S., the power company’s liability would be limited to $500 million. The plant, of course, would be sited in a poor area and the inhabitants would have to ask Republicans in Congress to spend public funds to compensate them for loss of their homes and livelihoods.

    Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
    Saturday, March 12, 2011

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 25% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15.
    Just 17% believe that American Muslims are treated unfairly.That view is held by a plurality of liberal voters but rejected by most moderate and conservative voters.

    Puddy, I think this poll proves your point and King’s about treatment of muslims in america.
    the fools from the left are once again in the vast minority, screaming racism when facts & logic fail.

    With the earthquake somehow Jesus’ words were missed in the “Friday Night Extravaganza”

    Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matt 24:4-9)

    Recent large earthquakes, hmmm…?

    One of the problems with everything going haywire at once is the possibility of letting a really, really important thing go unnoticed. While we’ve all been looking at Wisconsin, Michigan could actually be facing worse, and more draconian measures intended not only to break unions, but the public schools, municipal governments and much, much more.

    The Michigan Martial Law Act of 2011 is fast-tracking right onto Governor Rick Snyder’s desk just in time to take center stage after the fact. Despite large protests in Lansing, it’s getting very little press while the Wisconsin conflict continues.

    Let’s all celebrate the rethuglican version of the “rule of law”.

    (Reuters) – The number of U.S. militia groups that oppose government expansion and conduct para-military training grew rapidly in 2010, an organization that monitors hate groups said on Wednesday.

    The number grew to 824 groups in 2010 from 512 the previous year, an increase of 61 percent, said the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which is based in Montgomery, Alabama.

    Frustration over the economy, resentment over the country’s changing demographics and fear that President Barack Obama’s government aims to curb gun freedoms helps explain the growth in patriot militia groups, said SPLC spokesman Booth Gunter.

    Are Capitalists The New Communists?

    The Economist, a U.K.-based conservative-leaning magazine, in its review of a new book about why Western cultures triumped economically, says:

    “Mr Ferguson is almost gleeful when he argues that the consumer society, butt of the bien pensant left, was the cog in the industrial machine that communism overlooked. “Capitalists”, he writes, “understood what Marx missed: that workers were also consumers. It therefore made no sense to try to grind their wages down to subsistence levels.””

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Er, but wait, isn’t that exactly what the capitalist class is doing to workers? See, e.g., Gov. Walker. So, now that the Bolsheviks have been pitched into the dustbin of history, doesn’t that make the Trotsky-inspired conservatives the noveau Marxists?

    Also from The Economist, in an article about the world’s most influential business guru’s latest brainstorm:

    “He claims to have found nothing less than a formula for reinventing capitalism: “shared value”. Old-fashioned capitalists focus too narrowly on profits, he argues. Newfangled corporate social responsibility (CSR) types are bewitched by the idea that there is a tension between business and society. But shared value offers companies a way to pursue their self-interest while also acting in the common good. It will unleash a cascade of innovation and productivity gains. And provide capitalism with the popular legitimacy it clearly needs.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Gee, what a concept: Greed-based capitalism has a “legitimacy” problem and the solution is “corporate social responsibility”!!! Sounds like something straight out of the progressive playbook, doesn’t it?

    I would argue that any economic system, no matter what you label it, that concentrates nearly all of a nation’s wealth in the hands of a tiny few and grinds everyone else to dust with sweatshop conditions and Arkansas chicken-farm wages has a legitimacy problem.

    Arguments against businesses shouldering social responsibilities are, of course, arguments in favor of assigning these responsibilities to another type of entity, i.e. government.

    With the earthquake somehow Jesus’ words were missed in the “Friday Night Extravaganza”

    Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matt 24:4-9)

    Recent large earthquakes, hmmm…?
