Libs are Soooo Compassionate

According to the Wizbang blog, the liberal excuse for talk radio "Air America" embezzeled nearly half a million dollars from a Boys and Girls club. The Wizbang piece is a summary of several pieces done on the issue.

Apparently it's been out there for a while, but the MSM hasn't picked up on it. I wonder why? MSM was pretty hot to trot when Air America made it's debut. Yet MSM has been oddly more quiet since Air America has suttered, sputtered and drooled from the start. Um, kinda like AlGore's new TV channel.

The Pulling of the Wool

According to Newsday, DNC Chairman Howard Dean now says the Democrat Party needs to reach to pro-lifers. More of the same old garbage we've been seeing from the Dems since they got trounced by values voters: trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes.

Now, I'll grant you there are a few pro-life Democrats; I know a handful here in South Dakota. But let's get real: these are your typical single-issue voters, usually the ones hopelessly enslaved to the Social Security pimp who'll do anything (even make a pact with the devil) to protect whatever might be their pet issue. Or one of these arcane folks who can't think for themselves and goes by the tired old "Democrats are for the 'workin' man" baloney. That's about the only way you'll find a pro-life Dem.

Let's face it: no group is 100% bad (were all the Nazi Party members rabid Jew-haters, or were some of them just sucked up into it all), just as no individual is 100% bad (do you think Saddam Hussein never committed a kind act).

But what viewpoint primarily comprises the Democrat Party? Over 90% of the Democrat leadership is avidly pro-abortion--the right of a woman to murder her child in the womb must be protected at all costs, under all circumstances.

Yeah, Mr. Dean: pull my other leg.

More "Torture" At Club Gitmo

According to several media reports, a suspected terrorist at Guantanamo was forced to wear a bra, dance with another man and behave like a dog.

.

Gee, lots of drunken GIs I knew overseas (myself included, back when I was living for the Devil) did that from time to time--and weren't forced to!

.

Seriously, while such behavior (on the part of the GIs that forced the prisoners) might be classified as "unprofessional," I'm sure our POWs in Vietnam and in Asia during WWII would love to have traded "tortures" with the Gitmo prisoners.

.

And our guys who were POW weren't a bunch of regressives who went around intentionally blowing up innocent civilians.

.

Compare this "torture" of a terrorist to a terrorist victim in London (one of the fortunate ones who survived to see his family again).

The Specter of Specter

With friends like Specter, who needs enemies?

=================

From the NY Times:

WASHINGTON, July 10 - Senator Arlen Specter, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, suggested on Sunday that President Bush could name Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who is retiring from the Supreme Court, to the position of chief justice if it opens up.

"I think it would be very tempting if the president said to Justice O'Connor, 'You could help the country now,' " Mr. Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania and a pivotal player in any confirmation hearings, said in an interview on the CBS program "Face the Nation." "She has received so much adulation that a confirmation proceeding would be more like a coronation, and she might be willing to stay on for a year or so."

Both Mr. Specter and Mr. Leahy said they were familiar with an account of a meeting that two senators, one from each party, had had with Justice O'Connor weeks before her retirement, in which they discussed a campaign to elevate her if Chief Justice Rehnquist does step down. Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, described the same meeting to The Chicago Tribune last weekend, suggesting that Justice O'Connor had not objected. No one identified the senators.

"I did hear about it," Mr. Specter said, "that there had been senators who had made that suggestion to Justice O'Connor, and that the response that I heard was that she said she was flattered. That she didn't say no."
=====================================

This RINO needs to do Republicans one single favor and just switch to the Democrat party.

Drudge Report: Schumer Caught on Phone Going to War Over Court

According to the Drudge Report, Senator Chucky Schumer (D-NY) was overheard on a cell phone conversation stating “We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.”

He also talked about how many of the Republican appointments to the court have turned out to be libs, stating "most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again."

He also made light of the "Gang of 14" Senate sellout on the filibuster deal as irrelevant.

Is anybody surprised by any of this?
