The Republican Party of America were the masters of the election sham long before Ahmadinejad tried it.

The Islamic Republic nearly consumed two presidencies. Carter's of course, and then Reagan's. While Iran Contra has been all but excised from the historic record, in the late 1980s it posed some very…

*he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other "neo-conservatives" *

He [teleprompter] only knows one topic and, as usual, he falls short:

von Brun's book, "Kill the Best Gentiles," is a screed against the Talmud and is dedicated to Revilo Oliver, a well-known denier of the Holocaust. Von Brunn's writings condemning "Negroes" and Jews were prolific.

I'm sure the NRA has put out a press release saying, "This just goes to show the only way to be safe is for everyone to be armed." In a museum??? Imagine what the insurance would run to cover the items on display.

i suppose he feels his innings is coming to a close and fancied going out in a blaze of "glory"

This violence and hatred against the Jews has to stop whether its some kooky white supremist or muslim jihadi.

Nick Kristof, who was at Tiananmen on the night of June 4th, 1989, has some insight into why things have evolved as they did:

*So 20 years later, what happened to that bold yearning for democracy? Why is China still frozen politically — the regime controls the press more tightly…

"It is true of the tyrants who killed so many innocent protesters, but it is equally true of those who would mete out the same to their opponents."

There's no concept of a loyal opposition in Chinese political culture. And there's no viable Chinese democracy movement overseas; just a bunch…
