The Right Wing had a major problem with Rudy my dear, do your research.

Hmmm, I get this crazy idea that the Right didn’t like Ron Paul. And Mike Huckabee. And John McCain.

Silly me.

A Romulin is a Ron Paulbot!!! Has nothing to do with Romney, ROTFLMAO!!!!

That’s a RONulan, chicky babe. RONulan. Get it? No? The part where is name is part of the word? Catching on yet? If we have a spark, maybe you’d begin to see that ROM is a part of ROMney. Guess which conclusion I’d come to.

Who told you that Sean Hannity?? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Good god. CSDeven has registered another name.

No. Again, try some homework, and quit patronizing me when you show yourself to be brutally uninformed.

FRESH CONTROVERSY IN DENMARK

Newspapers Republish Muhammad Cartoons

After the arrest this week of three men who wanted to kill a Danish cartoonist, about a dozen papers in Denmark have republished the infamous Muhammad cartoons. Some observers notice a sea-change in Denmark’s integration debate since the 2006 riots in the Muslim world.

Danish newspapers closed ranks on Wednesday to defend a cartoonist’s right to free speech by reprinting 12 caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad that sparked deadly riots in Muslim countries in early 2006. The papers were responding to the arrest in Denmark on Tuesday of three Muslim men who allegedly wanted to kill Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who drew the most inflammatory image, showing Muhammed with a bomb-shaped turban.

“We are doing this to document what is at stake in this case,” the Copenhagen paper Berlingske Tidende wrote on Wednesday morning, “and to unambiguously back and support the freedom of speech that we as a newspaper will always defend.”

Reaction from Muslim leaders was mixed. “There could have been other ways to do it without the drawing, which I personally do not like,” said Abdul Wahid Petersen, a moderate imam, according to the Associated Press.

“We are so unhappy about the cartoon being reprinted,” said Imam Mostafa Chendid, head of the Islamic Faith Community, which led Danish protests against the cartoons in 2006. “No blood was ever shed in Denmark because of this, and no blood will be shed. We are trying to calm down people, but let’s see what happens. Let’s open a dialogue.”

But a Muslim politician in Denmark, 44-year-old Naser Khader, told SPIEGEL ONLINE that something palpable had changed in the Danish political climate over the past two years. “Of course there’s a fear of a new crisis; Islamists are unpredictable,” he said. “And in some Muslim countries the people have not forgotten the Muhammad cartoons.”

Khader is the head of a new centrist party called “Ny Alliance.” His background is Syrian. He said Muslim leaders as well as Danish society overall seemed more cohesive in their response to the threat of violence: “The Muslims who have made statements since the arrests yesterday have spoken very moderately.” In fact, he said, “The great majority of Danish Muslims have shown that they reject violence and live in harmony with Danish law.” And the results have been good, judging from a recent poll that shows overall public opinion of Muslims in Denmark has changed for the better in the last two years.

The crisis didn’t hurt integration,” said Khader, “it opened doors for us — and in Denmark things have improved quite a bit in the meantime.”

This position chimes with a SPIEGEL ONLINE interview published Tuesday with the editor of Jyllands-Posten, the paper that first published the Muhammad cartoons in late 2005. Flemming Rose, who commissioned the cartoons, said the debate over integration in Denmark is “far more fact-based than it used to be.”

I just love it when people accuse Ann of being some kind of media whore or just says stuff for attention. Umm…that’s her job isn’t it? Those shows that have her on pay her to tell us her opinion on people or topics. They probably tell her before the show starts to go ahead and be provocotive.

She tells us her opinion unafraid of what others think or without worrying about being politically correct. I personally love that about her.

HE”s A MECCACHURIAN CANDIDATE and only IndyConservative sees the truth and knows that the only reason MUBARAK HUSSEIN OSAMA hasn’t been killed as an apostate is that as soon as he gets his fingers on the nuclear football it’s Allahu Akbar and bye-bye Tel Aviv. HE’S TRYING TO WARN US and we just titter at him. Titter, titter, titter.

Well we won’t be tittering when he declares the New Caliphate, WILL WE? No tittering in Islam!

(That’s sarcasm, for any of you lefty media types sifting for controversial quotes.)

see-dubya on February 14, 2008 at 12:24 AM

The Muslims to which you refer are really bad Muslims and are afraid to speak out against the Bad Muslims for fear of being killed.

Fine, they are oppressed and they are scared in most cases. Ayaan Hirsi Ali has had problems getting protection here in the US and in Europe. And not everyone has her fearless character and balls obviously.

But I am not going to assume the position of some twisted tin foiled hat wearing conspiracy theorist – like a Ronulin – who believes that Barack Obama wants to become President to turn this country into a Muslim state. It’s ridiculous and it isn’t based on any substance, fact or reality. Anyone who believes this about him needs to join Ron Paul’s campaign, immediately and look for the Mothership.

That is going too far into Truther Land for me….

Obama is a communist??? Wow!!! Look, I’m not saying the guy is a practicing Muslim. I’m not saying he would hand out prayer rugs in the White House if he were elected. If he has nothing to do with that filthy cult and has turned to Christ, God bless him. But why is it taboo to even bring this up about a guy who could very likely occupy the Oval Office. Huck catches hell for a “floating cross” in the background of one of his ads, but bring up Obama’s past where Islam is concerned, and you are a bigot. This is all part and parcel of the fact that we know nothing about this guy. All I’m asking is Who is he???

I disagree, Sir.

Every one of those aforementioned leaders faced enormous perils that are only abstract to contemporary Americans. (Perhaps that’s the problem) My point is that we are facing a very determined, dangerous and multi-dimensional cadre of enemies. The MSM, terrorists, and socialists are the proverbial wolves at the door and I would prefer a leader that looks the enemy in the face and roars rather than whimpers. Also, one can argue that all of Ann’s lucid points are countered by the more controversial statements see makes however, when you conduct the orchestra you must turn your back on the crowd. (Even a friendly crowd) She is saying that we conservatives are losing our will and focus. Heed this.

Chakra Hammer on February 14, 2008 at 12:41 AM

Look, for one thing, we don’t know that he’ll be the nominee (I hope to God not), for another, who’s to say that he isn’t a Muslim? Yeah, I know, the madrassa story isn’t true. Still, no one else is the slightest bit concerned about the fact that he claims Christianity but doesn’t seem to care at all.

Not saying he’s a Manchurian candidate, I doubt that; but for God’s sake the man doesn’t pledge allegiance and seems in general, like someone who has no solid belief system. Which makes him just as bad as Hillary.

In the Left Behind books (which are wildly inaccurate, but fun to read), the antiChrist, Carpathia, shows up out of relatively nowhere, speaking in platitudes, and gains huge popularity very quickly. I don’t think Barack is the antiChrist, but I think the similarities between Obama and Carpathia, a fictional leader, and Obama and Hitler or Mussolini are concerning. The cult of personality based off of literally no accomplishment aside from being articulate, black, and in the Senate, are absolutely horrifying.

All I’m saying is, before everyone freaks out because they think he’s a Manchurian candidate, or before everyone freaks out at the people who say he is a Manchurian candidate, we should be concerned about the fact that he seems to hold almost no beliefs and is wildly popular because he speaks well about “hope” and “change”. That is cause for concern.

see-dubya on February 14, 2008 at 12:42 AM

By the way, can anyone name me a second example of a Christian named Hussein?

Buddahpundit on February 13, 2008 at 10:42 PM

Robert Hussein Qambar – a Kuwaiti who converted from Islam to Christianity, and had to go through hell.

Ann is technically correct, but it’s dishonest of her to cast him as a Muslim, when he himself claims otherwise. Surely, Barack Obama knows more about which religion he follows than anyone else? It would have been okay for Ann Coulter to slam him for promising a summit with Iran or other Islamic countries, but to imply that he is a closet Muslim is simply engaging in yellow journalism. Why not keep the criticism of him restricted to the issues?

That said, I do believe that Obama should be supported. As a caller on Rush said today,

CALLER: Because the alternative is John McCain, who you know works with liberals more than any so-called Republican out there. And what’s the difference if I have John McCain working with liberals, and a liberal as a president? There’s not a whole lot of difference there.

RUSH: If the liberal inspires you.

CALLER: So if I can get someone who’s a good person deep down, if I get someone who’s a good person as president –

RUSH: I tell you what, we’re in trouble.

CALLER: — that for me is more important.

RUSH: All I can say is we’re in trouble. Okay. So you’ve decided here. McCain is going to work with the liberals. Obama is a liberal. So it’s a wash.

CALLER: So what’s the difference?

RUSH: So it’s a wash.

CALLER: Yeah.

RUSH: And so you are a going to vote for the liberal who inspires you? And that’s Obama.

CALLER: It may come down to that. Yes.

infidelpride on February 14, 2008 at 12:42 AM

People are still willing to stand up and defend Islam. What the hell is the matter with you dolts? You are starting to stink like secret Muslims that go by the name “Dave”. How ignorant can you be that Obama is a muslim by birth and you don’t know that?

It’s very Leftist Anarchist behavior – all fear based and I guess I just expect more educated and grounded behavior from Conservatives.

It is one thing to be cautious and proactive, but not based on flawed conspiracy theories that are just unfounded. That gets you into trouble.

infidelpride on February 14, 2008 at 1:20 AM

Not for nothin’, but how exactly is Obama a Muslim?

JetBoy on February 14, 2008 at 1:02 AM

In a nutshell:

According to Islam: A child whom his or her parents are Muslims is automatically a Muslim whether he or she likes it or not.

You can chose to leave Islam, but Islam don’t ever leave you.

As a matter of fact, knowing what we know now about Barack Hussein, I’m not so sure that he ever quit to be a Muslim as he is claiming.

When you are raised and taught in an Islamic country, an Islamic home and an Islamic school, when you were registered as a Muslim at one point in your life, there are still roots of that system of belief that can never be removed, no matter how hard you try.

Everyone knows that what happens during childhood (Islamic teachings, for example) stick and is imprinted forever in one’s mind and soul.

You can deny to be a Muslim, but you can’t escape the fact that you were born one, and are still one, especially if you never officially denounced, or renounced it.

Furthermore, Muslims around the world and in America are rooting for Barack Hussein because he is a Muslim like them.

Again, he might claim to be a Christian for political reasons, that doesn’t mean he renounced his Islamic roots or that he stopped being a Muslim.

Am I crazy, or aren’t there a whole bunch of other reasons to not vote for Obama than this? I don’t think we need to accuse him of being in a “bloody cult”. Let’s focus on the real issues.

krabbas on February 14, 2008 at 1:19 AM

Islam is not a just a bloody cult, Islam is all about politics.

Islam, as the Muslims call it, is “a way of life.”

Meaning: a Muslims has the duty of applying Islamic rules and Laws to the society he or she lives in.

It is the duty of every Muslim to change any society into a society ruled by Sharia (Islamic Law).

Change can start by argument, and by using force if necessary. This is Islam.

This is why a Muslim president of the United States can be jeopardize National Security.

This is why it is very important to talk about Barack Hussein Islamic background.

This is why it is extremely important to stop Hussein whose loyalty will be to his Muslim “brothers” around the world, not to America.

America is having enough with Islam and the Muslims, do we need a Muslim Commander-in-Chief?

Indy Conservative on February 14, 2008 at 1:42 AM

Good point, Billy. IndyC does seem to know an awful lot about Islam. I think he must have gone to a Madrassa. And you know what they say, “once saved, always saved”! Or something like that.

billy on February 14, 2008 at 1:57 AM

While I find it interesting and a possible, (if not necessarily probable) portent of the future, I don’t really care that Obama’s middle name is Hussein.

My middle name is after T.E. Lawrence; yet I have no great desire to unite the tribes of ‘Arabia’ and lead them across the Nefud Desert to Aqaba, to fight against the Turks and Germans.

I’m much more concerned that the church that he DOES claim to be a member of IS a pseudo-Christian one run by a pastor that once was a Nation of Islam member and Farrakhan disciple who preaches ‘Black Supremacy’ and that the few times that Obama HAS gone on record with a vote, and that the rare specific policy promises that he does make are slightly to the left of Karl Marx.

The future that a President Obama will bring is going to be a ousy future for EVERYONE… But it will be darned interesting in an ‘academic’ sense.

We pretty much can precisely plot the lousy directions that McCain or Hillary will try to us, but Obama will be even more of a loose cannon on a ship uon stormy seas.

I hate to break it to YOU, but T.E. Lawrence wasn’t a flagrant homosexual;, (He may have been somewhat ’sexually confused or ambivalent’), probably due to his life’s experiences rather than any actual predilections.

I wasn’t bragging about my middle-namesake by any means; while he is a VERY intriguing character, I think that today’s world would be a little better off if he had stayed in England in semi-obscurity and grown roses or continued his museum work..

I’m sorry if I’m late to this party, but I have lived in the Islamic world–Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey, and now Amman, Jordan–for most of the past 12 years, and I can only tell you my experiences here on the ground. Nearly everyone I know in both places supports Obama because in their minds, he IS a Moslem. Other posters have said this, and you can mock all you like, but it’s true–to Moslems, if you are born into it, you have no personal choice in the matter. You are Moslem, cased closed. You can try to leave the faith, but I think we all have seen what happens to people who do–Ayaan Hirsi Ali, for example, or a university student in Cairo who wants to change his national ID card to Christian, or any number of people. And Takkiya absolutely does exist. That is not to say that Obama himself is practicing it–although I do think it is interesting that the Moslem world itself seems not to consider him an apostate–but it exists. Whoever wrote here that you cannot think about Islam and interact with Moslems with a Western outlook is absolutely correct. As for Ann Coulter, if you have read her books, which I have, you know that she is quite a bold and incisive thinker. Maybe she makes us as a group–conservatives, Republicans, whatever–less “likable” to the outside, but I stopped caring about that years ago. And we should stop caring. If Ann Coulter stopped speaking, do you really think that would usher in a golden age of peace and harmony between conservatives and liberals, and that the insults from the left would immediately stop?

If you can find it in an old bookstore, look for the B.H. Liddel-Hart memoirs.
He’s got a great section on his friendship with Lawrence and his thoughts on Chamberlain and Churchill.

What a dilemma? If Bush worships the same “god”…does that mean you voted for a Muslim (since we know what Muslims think of Christ)? Hmmm…You do the math.

TOPV on February 13, 2008 at 10:58 PM

You may be able to get a certain Anglican leader (iirc) to say that God is the same as Allah, but you just try to get a muslim to say that Allah is the same as Yahw–. Never – going – to – happen.

No I don’t think that the Obamaman is a muslim. I do think that his minister is, like someone said earlier, a step away from Phelps.

To Ann: If you think that voting in a Carter will get another Reagan than you’re nuts. If you remember, things got so bad we NEEDED a Reagan. No one else could have dug the U.S. out. Thing is, Putin and Dinnerjacket have a bigger head start then The Ayatollah and Andropov had. By the time we’ll get to vote in a Reagan, if there is one, it will be too late.

Zorro on February 14, 2008 at 6:51 AM

I think some people are focusing on the madrassas/hussain part of Obama a little too much (or as I affectionaly refer to him, NObama).

From whats been put out their his father and step father were both muslims. He, however, is part of a black Supremist church founded bya former nation of islam person. It is possible that he is a muslim, and is seeking the destrutcion of America. But their is no actual proof, just speculation.
Perhaps a more interesting tact would be to acknowledge that he is no longer a Muslim, which would make it difficult for him to deal with Muslim countries since he is now an aposotate, and according to the Koran he should be killed as soon as possible.

How will he deal with Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudia arabia et al if they are forbidden to speak to him?

Wyrd on February 14, 2008 at 7:12 AM

we should be concerned about the fact that he seems to hold almost no beliefs and is wildly popular because he speaks well about “hope” and “change”. That is cause for concern.

That being said, I really am convinced the Rush’s, the Tammy’s, “the Boss”’s (that’s right I said it!!!) and the Ann’s of the world’s ego is really bruised big time here. The people are voting this guy to be the nominee. Plain and simple. When the talkers spout off “tow the party est. line” guano, we could say, “tow the talk radio party line” in the same manner.

John Bolton endorsed this guy…what do you guys have to say about that? You know more than John Bolton?

1500 years of exactly what is going on now. That is what islam is all about. Nothing has changed, modernity hasn’t offended them. The Wesy hasn’t committed crimes against them unless of course you consider existing a crime. islam has always been about conquest, domination and violence. Always. Your post modern moral relativism will not change that. The only thing that will have changed is that shortly islam will control nuclear arsenals and we know we can’t count on pathetic weaklings to help us defend our civilization.

When Ginsburg croaks who would you rather have submitting the next judge? You know what they’re gonna do.

You think incidents like 911 will just go down in history as a bad day and generations from now kids who live in communities just like yours and live just like you and have the same rights as you will read about it in their history books and say wow. We got over WWII didn’t we? So we’ll get over this, too. Sorry. This country is less then 250 years old, a blink of the eye in the history of man. Things will go away even quicker. Post modern moral relativism has infected the West so badly that we are setting the table for our own destruction.

peacenprosperity on February 14, 2008 at 9:12 AM

I am reminded of a line Adm. Yamamotto said after the bombing of Pearl Harbor:
“I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant”

America is far mor fractured now then we were in the late 1930’s early 40’s.
But, if (or when) it comes to open warfare in the streets of this country the people will wake up. Not the politicians, or the die hard liberals, or code pink but the people. The mountain boys, the conservative folk, the freedom lovers and the heart and soul of this country. I can see it being a long hard fight but I see those people being what saves this country.
The tree of liberty needs to be watered with the blood of patriots, and that is what we are missing. Our soldiers go off to fight our wars and to preserve our freedoms and the only Americans effected by it are their immediate families. To everyone else it is just an abstract concept. People in this country have forgotten what freedom means, and that it IS worth any price. They have not had to sacrifice for it, at least not since 1945.
I’m not war mongering, or advocating anything, this is just my opinion. But we take our freedoms for granted, and we forget that with freedom comes responsibility.

The window for Congressional earmarks is open once again. Lawmakers from both parties are inviting constituents and lobbyists to recommend pet projects that could be financed by the federal government as the 2008 earmark season gets under way. . . .

Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog, issued a report on Wednesday that showed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York had obtained $342 million in earmarks last year, nearly four times as much as the total for Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Mr. McCain of Arizona, a fierce critic of earmarks, did not obtain any because “he did not request any,” said Ryan Alexander, president of Taxpayers for Common Sense.

In its report, the group said that Representative John P. Murtha, Democrat of Pennsylvania, obtained $176 million in earmarks — more than any other House member except Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, who is now a senator.

Yep, McCain is just exactly the same as the dems.

He voted for Roberts and Alito, and they both voted against them. Yep, exactly the same yet again.

Yep, which is why I try to make people who screech that McCain is not better than Obama think about the troops in the field. It’s all academic and cute and funny if you don’t have a loved one in the sandbox, but for those of us who do, the idea that the American people would betray them by placing Obama in command is sickening.

They go off to war to protect us from external enemies. It’s our job as citizens to protect them from internal enemies, like the socialist comrades of Senator Obama.
