Netanyahu and Pastor Hagee’s Lovefest on Eve of Biden’s Arrival in Israel

Vice President Joe Biden was greeted in Jerusalem with the announcement that the Israeli Interior Ministry approved the construction of 1600 new homes in Occupied East Jerusalem contrary to U.S. wishes and complicating Biden’s mission to help jump start the peace process. But Biden should have known that Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu intended to upset his plans by Netanyahu’s appearance with John Hagee. The day after a series of talks between US Special Envoy for the Middle East George Mitchell and Netanyahu, and a day before Biden’s arrival, Netanyahu appeared onstage with Pastor John Hagee in Jerusalem. The occasion was Hagee’s Night To Honor Israel, an event the ...

For years, promises to leave the United States in the wake of an undesirable political development have been the domain of liberals. Celebrities such as Alec Baldwin, Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon all at some point suggested they would move to Canada if a Republican won the White House.(There's even a Facebook group around to motivate them, complete with a helpful link to Canada's department of citizenship and immigration.)While most of those were empty threats, there are notable exceptions: Film director Robert Altman moved to France after George W. Bush's victory in 2000; Law & Order star Michael Moriarty shipped off to Canada well before that.But now the decidedly ...
Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, And The Shameful NeoCon Attack On America's Legal System

The latest controversy of the day among many on the right, led principally by Liz Cheney and William Kristol, involves attacking Justice Department lawyers who represented alleged members of al Qaeda or the Taliban detained at Guantanmo Bay. As Kristol puts it:[L]awyers now at the DOJ worked on the historic Boumediene case. That case established the Gitmo detainees’ right to challenge their detention in habeas corpus hearings. In effect, the habeas proceedings have taken sensitive national security and detention questions out of the hands of experienced military and intelligence personnel, and put them into the hands of federal judges with no counterterrorism training or expertise. ...

Rep. Paul Broun not sure if Obama is citizen Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) said Thursday that he does not know if President Barack Obama is either a citizen or a Christian. Broun made the claim during an interview with Sirius XM host Pete Dominick, which was first flagged by the liberal blog Think Progress. Asked if he thought the president is an “American citizen and a Christian,” Broun first responded, “I’m not going to get involved in that.” But pressed on whether he thought Obama is a citizen, he said “I don’t know.” “Is he a Christian?” Dominick then asked. “I don’t know that,” Broun responded, explaining that ...
When Raw Anger At Government Turns Violent

(03-05) 14:54 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The river of discontent running through America turned toxic in the fevered mind of the Pentagon shooter and others of his ilk. In a culture awash in conspiracy theories and raw anger at government, they are lone wolves who find a sense of community for their hate — yet act alone. They are, in some ways, more unsettling than organized and trained terrorists because they come from us. Their diatribes and smoldering grievances are familiar and homegrown. For the Texan who steered a small plane into IRS offices last month, it was taxes. For the Nevadan who shot at a courthouse in January, it was his Social Security. In these times, disgust with ...
Tea Party Movement Is Still a Great Unknown on Israel

Washington — The Tea Party movement, a loose conglomeration of conservatives angry over government spending, is considered one of the most influential groups on today’s American political scene. For liberals and conservatives the Tea Party movement is a politically polarizing topic, but for the pro-Israel community it is a great unknown. With Tea Party activists focusing on domestic issues more than on foreign policy, and with views on Israel running the gamut from staunch support for right-wing Israeli positions to calls for a total reversal of American support for the Jewish state, pro-Israel activists are left guessing as to how the new movement could affect their cause. ...
Orly Taitz Slings Mud at Republican Opponent for Secretary of State

Orly Taitz Slings Mud at Republican Opponent for Secretary of State While we weren't able to attend Dr. Orly Taitz's speech regarding "The Truth About Election Fraud" to the Orange County Federation of Republican Women today, we were, as always, able to read Taitz's blog (we've got good virus protection on our computers at the Weekly). Lately, the Laguna Niguel dentist who loves suing Obama has been rallying her supporters to help her win the Republican nomination for California Secretary of State. One problem: There's already a Republican who has been running for a few months now. His name is Damon Dunn, he's from Irvine, and Taitz doesn't like him. ...
'9/11 Conspiracy Theorist' Gunned Down By Security Guards In Pentagon Shoot-Out; Did Right-Wing Extremism Lead To Shooting?

An armed man has been shot dead after opening fire on security guards at an entrance to the Pentagon. The gunman, identified as John Patrick Bedell, 36, died in hospital after the guards at the U.S. Defence Department headquarters returned fire. He is said to have harboured resentment against the military and posted online comments expressing doubts about the perpetrators of the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York. Two security guards were also injured in the firefight, but their wounds are not said to be life-threatening. Bedell, from California, is said to have walked up to the entrance after getting of a subway train in Arlington, Virginia, before pulling out a handgun and ...

CA is the most populated state in the Union with about 33 million people I got information that there are 3.9 million likely Republican voters, who will be voting in the Republican primary. If the football player Damon Dunn does not drop out of the Secretary of state race, I will need to reach3.9 million people and secure votes of more then half -about 2 million. I was told that the advertising slates go between1-5 cents per person, which means that I will need to raise 20,000-100,000 for the campaign basic advertising. Please, let me know if any of you talked to Damon Dunn, and if he is willing to drop out of the Secretary of State race? I don’t have his phone and address. I only ...

Conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks assailed the Tea Party and the extreme nature of today's Republican Party Tuesday on ComedyCentral's The Colbert Report. "The Tea Party is where the money is at, baby," said Stephen Colbert. "Why aren't you saying crazy stuff your in columns and if you pardon the expression, put some asses in the seats?" "Well, the Tea Parties they're like the hippies," Brooks responded. "The hippies wanted to stick it to the man and they were anti-establishment. So the Tea Parties are like the Wal-Mart hippies." Colbert jested that Brooks should be less moderate and shun news organizations that ...
The Tea Party Is All About Race

I was going to open this piece with an analogy about the tea party groups and why they're treated seriously by the press and the Republicans. The analogy would go something like: "Imagine [insert left-wing activist group here] getting a serious profile in a mainstream newspaper, and imagine serious Democratic politicians appearing at their convention." The problem is, when I really evaluated what the various far-left activist groups are all about and compared them with the tea party movement, there really wasn't any equivalency. At all. Because when you strip away all of the rage, all of the nonsensical loud noises and all of the contradictions, all that's left is ...
Proposal would put Ronald Reagan's face on the $50 bill

March 3, 2010 Reporting from Washington - Ronald Reagan is honored by, among other things, an airport, a freeway, an aircraft carrier and -- ironically for a critic of big government -- one of the biggest federal buildings in Washington. Now, some of the late president's admirers are launching a new effort to add another honor: printing his likeness on a $50 bill in place of Ulysses S. Grant's. In polls of presidential scholars, Reagan consistently outranks Grant, said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry (R-N.C.), who introduced legislation to make the change. But at least one Democrat who serves on the House Financial Services Committee, where the proposal has been sent, isn't ready to ...
McCain's New Ad Attacks Teabagger Hayworth's Birtherism

(ChattahBox)—Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is getting primaried by teapartier J.D. Hayworth and he is desperately trying to show his right-wing bonafides to hang on to his Senate seat. But McCain’s pandering is becoming painful to watch. Earlier this week, the maverick ridiculously claimed that he was misled by then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, regarding the TARP program, and that’s why he supported it. How far right will he go to appeal to a group of confused angry populists? At least McCain’s latest ad targets the conspiracy theorist birther fringe of the teaparty movement, which Hayworth is a part of. And the attack ad even has ...
Tancredo: Palin Not Fit For The Presidency

The decision by Sarah Palin to campaign for John McCain has opened up a Tea Party tiff between two of its firebrand conservatives. Former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who has campaigned among Tea Party activists for his long-standing fight against comprehensive immigration reform, declares Palin unfit for the presidency and an unprincipled politician for supporting his bete noir in his re-election bid: After her speech at the Nashville convention, Palin said she is considering a run for the presidency in 2012. Tancredo however, does not believe she is fit for the presidency. “I really don’t have this feeling about her as being presidential,” he Tancredo said. “I ...

A brief online kerfuffle raged this week over a perceived similarity between a newer military agency logo and that trademark Obama O circle from the presidential campaign. According to an initial conspiratorial theory, the newest logo for the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (above, right) bears a remarkable resemblance to the Obama campaign logo. And is that perhaps some potentially sinister insinuation of the Muslim crescent in there too? Obama campaign Logo 2008 The answer is, simply: Not. According to Richard Lehner of the MDA, the agency added the second, more contemporary, three-colored logo to its recruiting materials three years ago as a cost-saving procedure over the ...

The daughter of former US Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is to guest-star in The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, according to reports. Bristol Palin, 19, the eldest daughter of the former Alaska governor, made headlines when she had a baby out of wedlock with Levi Johnston, a Playgirl cover model.

Did Orly Taitz, 'The Worst Lawyer in History,' File Her Bar Response Today? The California State Bar doesn't comment on whether it's investigating an attorney for breach of professional ethics, but that doesn't mean they don't guffaw about it. We just called bar investigator Robin Littlefield, whom Orly Taitz herself said is looking into complaints against the Laguna Niguel anti-Obama attorney. As soon as we said the words "Orange County," Littlefield started a slow, low laugh on the other end of the line. She knew why we were calling. That didn't mean she could talk about Taitz. In fact, she couldn't even confirm that she was investigating ...

(02-26) 10:10 PST Colorado Springs, Colo. (AP) -- James Dobson made his last radio broadcast Friday for Focus on the Family, the conservative Christian ministry he founded 33 years ago and built into an influential political and social voice. "I have a lump in my throat, but God's in control," Dobson told listeners. Dobson, an outspoken opponent of abortion and gay marriage, has been gradually withdrawing from the organization, stepping down as president in 2003 and as chairman of the board last year. He plans to start a new show, "Family Talk with James Dobson," this spring. Dobson said Friday the new show isn't competition for Focus on the Family, noting ...
Debra Medina: Behind the Tea Party Facade, Just Another Bush-League Republican

The Tea Party Revolution has struck the Texas gubernatorial race, with the insurgent Republican candidate, Debra Medina, gaining in the polls and threatening the leading candidates, incumbent Gov. Rick Perry and Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Medina has positioned herself as a radical anti-government outsider who would cut Texas free from federal government programs and influence in favor of the free market. However, according to an investigation of Medina’s business records, her company, Prudentia Inc., benefited greatly over the past decade from federal government subsidies and lucrative municipal government contracts. Our investigation shows that when you scratch the surface of ...
Tea Party Hero Marco Rubio Charged Personal Expenses to Party Credit Card

If there's one defining feature of the Tea Party movement it's that members hate freeloaders who let taxpayers, the government, or political money pick up their expenses (read: welfare, the stimulus, bailouts, etc.). Wonder how they'll respond to the revelation that their current poster boy charged personal expenses to a Republican Party of Florida-issued American Express card when he was speaker of Florida's house? The Miami Herald reports Marco Rubio charged groceries, car repairs, and purchases from a wine store to his AmEx. Rubio responded that when he left public office, he paid any charges that weren't for political purposes. Except he allowed the RPOF to pick up ...
