Glenn Beck just couldn't resist. Even as he is giving credit to the President, he says "Kill Obama..."

It's not accidental on the part of these idiots. They do it on purpose, and one day some wingnut is going to take them up on it.

Bonus: He finds tape of President Obama using the term "caliphate", and thinks it justifies his own whacko conspiracy theories. All in the span of 1 minute, 14 seconds.

It may be a new record.

Instead of trying to destroy AARP, Republicans should be signing up the seniors' lobby to find Osama.

AARP's super-relentless intelligence network is certainly better than that doddering C.I.A's. Osama has to have turned 50, and AARP somehow knows where everyone who has turned 50 lives.

It began with an almost comically hyperbolic Internet ad that briefly ran on The American Spectator's Web site, painting AARP as pro-gay sex - even though it's tough to think of AARP and steamy lust in the same hot breath - and anti-soldier. It showed a soldier with a red X across him, and two gay men kissing at their nuptuals, with the headline "The REAL AARP Agenda."

(Mr. Jarvis, who used to be executive vice president of James Dobson's Focus on the Family, also urged his Web site readers to "support Mel Gibson's 'The Passion.' " The group's national chairman is Art Linkletter; it seems that aging right-wing trash-talkers say the darndest things.) read on

Tightening those Leaks!

The Dept. of Homeland security is requiring that the 180,000 or so employees amd contractors will have to sign a three page secrecy pledge.
Paula Zahn says the pledge covers sensitive but unclassified information, and it comes just after the 9/11 commission report criticized the gov't for over-classifying information.

Add to that, the purging of the CIA because of disloyalty to President Bush. According to Newsday, "The White House has ordered the new CIA director, Porter Goss, to purge the agency of officers believed to have been disloyal to President George W. Bush or of leaking damaging information to the media about the conduct of the Iraq war and the hunt for Osama bin Ladin..." An even tighter shroud of secrecy begins.

Not helping matters is Porter Goss telling the Central Intelligence Agency employees that their job is to "support the administration and its policies in our work.'' I didn't know the CIA was an extention of White House policy? Aren't they in the business of supplying intelligence?
Porter tried to make up for it those words with: "We provide the intelligence as we see it - and let the facts alone speak to the policymaker.''
How can you have it both ways Mr. Goss?

Angry over on-air remark, adviser threatens a ban

By Patrick Healy, Globe Staff | October 31, 2004

Newshoggers: The White House claims Osama was not the 9/11 mastermind! Despite that startling assertion, G-Dub is pulling out all the stops to apprehend the apparently peripheral terrorist.

Americablog: Newsweek is reporting McCain lied about a Factcheck.org report, and CBS caught that 'honorable' man lying in the same ad about Katie Couric. That's integrity! Next thing ya know he'll be denouncing the Cub Scouts. What a bunch of irredeemable sh*theels.

Associated Press:

Omar Osama bin Laden bears a striking resemblance to his notorious father — except for the dreadlocks that dangle halfway down his back. Then there's the black leather biker jacket.

The 26-year-old does not renounce his father, al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, but in an interview with The Associated Press, he said there is better way to defend Islam than militancy: Omar wants to be an "ambassador for peace" between Muslims and the West.

"It's about changing the ideas of the Western mind. A lot of people think Arabs — especially the bin Ladens, especially the sons of Osama — are all terrorists. This is not the truth," Omar told the AP last week at a cafe in a Cairo shopping mall. Read on...

(Nicole:) One of the things that has always annoyed me about the current demonization of Muslims by many in the press and GOP as silently complicit with the "Islamofascists" (a word that makes no sense) is that they are not silent. But rarely does the press give air time to someone who believes in peace.

Talk 2 Action: Values Voter debate panelist miffed at GOP no-shows: "How can we expect these no-show candidates to take on Osama Bin Laden and other world leaders when they're afraid to show up and answer questions from Phyllis Schlafly?"

Hey, I've got an idea, let's put Phyllis in an undisclosed cave somewhere along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and then re-invite the now-unafraid GOP field to a "values debate" where they are expected to bash homosexuals, women, Hispanics, and other potential voters in order to make a small minority of so-called "Christians" less unhappy.
