CNN: Obama on bowling: ‘I was terrible’

While Democrats increasingly worry about winning ugly, Barack Obama was losing beautifully at a bowling lane in this central Pennsylvania city.

“Beautifully”?

The Priorities of the Dutch

The priorities of the Dutch:

Dutch businesses warned on Saturday that they would consider suing far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders if his anti-Islam film led to a commercial boycott of Dutch goods, while police said cars were set ablaze and graffiti called for Wilders to be killed.

“A boycott would hurt Dutch exports. Businesses such as Shell, Philips, and Unilever are easily identifiable as Dutch companies. I don’t know if Wilders is rich, or well-insured, but in case of a boycott, we would look to see if we could make him bear responsibility,” Bernard Wientjes, the chairman of the Dutch employers’ organisation VNO-NCW, told the Het Financieel Dagblad newspaper.

[...]

Two days after the Internet release of the long-awaited 17-minute documentary “Fitna”, Muslim nations, including Malaysia and Singapore, and the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned it. Although there were no mass disturbances in the Netherlands, two cars were set ablaze in Utrecht overnight, with a slogan calling for the death of Wilders. Police said they could not say with certainty that it was connected to the release of “Fitna.”

Geert Wilders

Wilders is risking his life in standing behind this film, and he should be enjoying the support of his countrymen. Apparently they’re only able to pay lip service to free speech.

Speaking of Muslim-related issues, Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-’Ubeidi, expert on Islamic Law, doesn’t think there was much wrong with Muhammed banging the 9 year old girl whom he married, and even if there was, well, you Western heathen sluts have no right to talk anyway. (Nice way to dodge the issue. )

“Many criminals, the enemies of Islam, ask: ‘How could the Prophet Muhammad, at 52 years of age, marry ‘Aisha when she was only 8 years old, and consummate the marriage when she was 9 years old?’ I say to them: People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”

Boy, if that’s not logic at its purest, I don’t know what is.

So rape and pedophilia are legit under Islam as long as the child is married first?

More Hatred from Jeremiah Wright

On his radio show yesterday, Hugh Hewitt played excerpts of Barack Obama reading from his autobiography, Dreams of My Father. In one, Obama remembers a sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright:

[T]he pastor described going to a museum and being confronted by a painting title Hope.

“The painting depicts a harpist,” Revernd [sic] Wright explained, “a woman who at first glance appears to be sitting atop a great mountaintop. Untill you take a closer look and see that the woman is bruised and bloodied, dressed in tattered rags, the harp reduced to a single frayed string. Your eye is then drawn down to the scene below, down to the valley below, where everywhere are the ravages of famine, the drumbeat of war, a world groaning under strife and deprivation.

It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, aprtheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere … That’s the world! On which hope sits.”

Can you imagine a white pastor getting away with this shit? Me neither.

Obama’s explanation and reaction to this blatant racism can be found here.

Obama Makes Reporter’s Knees Go Weak

NBC’s Lee Cowan: Covering Barack Obama Makes My Knees Quake By Scott Whitlock

It seems as though NBC is now expanding its bias to include paid supplements. In a print promotional distributed by NBC News, reporter Lee Cowan enthused, “When NBC News first assigned me to the Barack Obama campaign, I must confess my knees quaked a bit.” This is the same journalist who in January famously confessed to “Nightly News” host Brian Williams that it’s “almost hard to remain objective” when covering the “infectious” energy surrounding the Illinois senator.

How’s that for responsible journalism?
