VIDEO: A Mosque at Ground Zero?

Another great ad from Alabama, this one from 2nd District Republican candidate Rick Barber: Excerpts: “We weren’t attack by a nation. We weren’t attacked by ‘terror.’ We were attacked by Islamic jihadists. . . . Jihad threatens our freedom, our families and our way of life. . . . Islamic jihadist pose a clear and […]

‘How Can Someone Hate America?’

The Boston Herald reports on yesterday’s raids: Federal agents are scrambling today to determine whether a Boston cab driver and Brookline gas station attendant arrested yesterday in a massive sweep knew whether their money was provided to a suspected Times Square terror bomber.

‘Responsible, Ethical Journalism’

Thanks to Maggie’s Farm for reminding us of this brilliant May 4 prediction about the Times Square car bomb from law professor Timothy Stoltzfus Jost: I think the politics of this incident will turn heavily on who is found to be responsible. If, as seems unlikely, the bomb is linked to South Asian or Middle […]

Contessa Brewer’s Very Bad Day, Or Why Couldn’t Faisal Shahzad Be a Methodist?

We know that this is what liberals really believe, but it’s shocking when one of them is stupid enough to say it out loud: “I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who […]

NYC Times Square Car Bomb: Latest News on ‘One-Off’ ‘Lone Wolf’ Faisal Shahzad

Jammie Wearing Fool reminds us that liberals made fools of themselves in dismissing the Times Square car-bomb, with Janet Napolitano declaring “You know, at this point I have no information that it’s anything other than a one-off,” and Charles Schumer speculating: “The odds are quite high that this was a lone wolf.” If the odds […]
