I Wish I Were Kidding: Tom Brokaw to Obama: What can Israel learn from Buchenwald about its treatment of Palestinians?
I thought, or rather hoped, that Powerline was kidding. Nope. You’ll find the exchange here, around 4:05. (Obama thankfully rejects the analogy.) For added disgust, note that this interview was conducted in Dresden, ground zero of the neo-Nazi revisionist movement to draw moral equivalence between Nazi atrocities and Allied bombings of German cities. You’ll fit right in at MSNBC, Tom.
I’ve reached my saturation point with videos of The One so I’m skipping the clip of him at Buchenwald. You’ll be glad to know that he vowed to resist the spread of evil in our time, which will make for a grimly ironic flashback soundbite the day Iran announces they’ve got the bomb. Instead, here’s three minutes of reflection from a guy who really has confronted evil, literally and recently. His oratory is the flip side of Obama’s, short on style and very, very long on substance. Tremendously moving. Don’t miss it.

Would a wise Latina pick Sotomayor for the Supreme Court?…
The interesting thing about being wise and being smart is that you can add a three letter word to each of them and come up with a synonym for “audacious” (a word which coincidently was used to decribe BHO).

Gosh, Tom Brokaw, what a scoop you have there! I didn’t know that Israel was planning to round up Palestinians, gas them, then burn their bodies! Wow, Tom, where’d you get that information! You’re a real Journalist, Tom!
I have thought Brokaw was a pathetic douchebag for years. This totally validates my asessment.

What will it take for the Jewish community to stop supporting NObama? I understand he has told Israel to stand down and that if they do a first strike on Iran’s nuclear facility the U.S. will not support them. Bush had a program of selling missiles which I understand has been stopped.
No wonder Netanyahoo was scowling at him during their press conference.

I hope it doesn’t take something really bad happening to Israel before the American Jewish community that supported Obama wakes up and recognizes the obvious. There is very, very little margin for error in that part of the world.

***twilight show music*** So if I kill a bee that is trying to sting me (I’m allegeric to them), does that make me a Nazi? I’m trying to figure out this “(a)moral” equivelancey, but I simply cannot. Why did I use a bee? The Arabs…er…terrorists?…er…Arabs are trying to murder the Israelis just like the Nazis were. And for this they must suffer? Anyone who believes that, I hope you don’t go to the Heaven I’m going to. I can’t see how God would allow that atrocity.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The article I just wrote tells about the Lebanese elections. The March 14 (the side that favors the west and hates Hizbullah) won the majority! Yippee! They are going to try to disarm Hizbullah. I sure hope they are successful. It would be nice if Lebanon could be a prosperous republic again. Have a nice day.

Hi Democratic Activist. You know what? It most likely will take something devastating before the American Jewish community who mostly supports this administration wakes up. I only hope and pray that it won’t do too much damage.

Hi Pam. Did I say something wrong? I was just wondering because my comment has not been approved. Let me know so I don’t do it again.

Obama’s Fantasy v Free Market Reality…
Many of you, such as myself, argued that President Bush and President Obama should not pass the TARP and stimulus bills, but they did it anyway. At the time, only 5% of the people were in foreclosure. The lesson that should have been learned from…

I went to my daughter-in-law’s graduation at NW. Tom Brokaw was the main speaker. Everyone stood for his intro except me. Gas bag that he is.

Good on you, Howard! Did you happen to notice he only got his citizenship after it became that he was of age to collect social security? Trashes our country for 20 years as a Canadian, then sucks it dry. Yup, just like a Marxist.

NRCC Insults Palin to Promote Gingrich…
There are two big questions:
NUMERO UNO: Is Romney or his people behind this latest dissing of Sarah Palin?
NUMERO DOS: What is the possibility of a Palin-Giuliani ticket? It sure works for me!
Palin-Giuliani 2012?
Then there is a third question: D…
