hatred

Good Morning America did a big report about McCain's spiritual adviser, Rod Parsley. Parsley has called for the destruction of the Muslim world, and they know it. Here's the clip:

So we got one of his pastors calling for the destruction of the Muslim world, while his other pastor is praising Hitler as doing "God's work" for killing millions of Jews. This is hatred in the worst form, and John McCain refuses to denounce it. Oh and let's not forget what Hagee has said about Catholics.

Since McCain refuses to denounce this stuff, I guess he embraces these views. Why don't he go ahead and put on the funny white hat and burn some crosses while he's at it?

Fred Phelps and his "God hates fags" crowd might end up going broke:

A jury on Wednesday ordered an anti-gay Kansas church to pay $10.9 million in damages to relatives of a U.S. Marine who died in Iraq after church members cheered his death at his funeral.

Church members said Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder's death was God's punishment of America for tolerating homosexuality, and they attended his 2006 funeral in Maryland with signs saying "You're going to hell" and "God hates you."

The federal jury determined the Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, and three of its principals invaded the privacy of the dead man's family and inflicted emotional distress.

Albert Snyder, the Marine's father, testified that his son was not gay, but the church targeted the military as a symbol of America's tolerance of gays. Matthew Snyder died in combat in Iraq in March 2006.

This opens up an interesting question to those trying for the Republican nomination. Do you support this ruling? They are so for tort reform and hate these kind of lawsuits, so will they side with the hatred of Phelps or will they back our troops? I wonder if we can find a debate moderator to ask that.

I guess this explains why O'Reilly has the top ratings. No matter how disturbing, everyone has to look at that bloody car wreck:

I usually don't defend Geraldo, but he deserves it this time. The issue was about a drunk driver that happened to be an illegal immigrant. O'Reilly wouldn't have become so billegerant if this person was an American citizen.

O'Reilly isn't the only one that acts like this on crimes where illegal immigrants are involved. This entire immigration debate has sparked this kind of hatred all over the country. Right here in southern Ohio, we had a major incident of it two years ago, which gained national attention. A 9 year old girl was sexually assaulted by an illegal immigrant. This crime resulted in the KKK marching and the assailants house being burned by angry citizens. But at the same time about 20 miles away, another crime similar had happened, and you didn't see public outrage like this.

In Cincinnati a 31 year old man was arrested for raping his 3 year old daughter. To make this horrible crime even worse, the man was doing the assaults on a webcam in Yahoo chat rooms. The KKK didn't march in protest to him and his house was not burned.

This is what our nation is devolving to - a nation of discrimination. We don't worry about the actual crime and how to prevent them, we worry about where they are from. That is really bad for a nation that was proudly created by immigrants.

Oliver Willis has much more.

I posted the other day about the letter that was sent to CPAC from some right wing blogs regarding Ann Coulter. These bloggers took a stand against Coulter's hate speech. Of course the right wing darling, Michelle Malkin, was missing from that list. She did a quick little show of outrage over the incident once it gained some publicity, but I never bought it at all, so I was not surprised that her name was absent from the list.

Now she is using the story of Matt Sanchez, right wing darling and gay porn star, to defend Ann Coulter. Think Progress has the run down of Malkin's latest show of idiocy. Malkin posted this on her blog to try and "show the hatred of liberals":

I said the other day I thought CPAC organizers would be justified in being embarrassed if the rumors about Sanchez’s porn star past 15 years ago turned out to be true. Well, the rumors are true. But it is neither CPAC nor Cpl. Sanchez who should feel embarrassed.

It’s the nasty, gloating liberals who claim to stand for tolerance, privacy, human rights, and compassion. I predicted the other day that left-wing bigotry would rear its ugly head. I was right. The e-mail I’ve received is more disgusting than anything Ann Coulter stupidly said at CPAC.

It is amazing how Malkin always get's some mysterious email proving her point. Does she really think we are that blinded by her? Are her readers really so gullible as to fall for that?

"When the infidels come they will never leave". That is what Osama said in the 90's when our government solicited Saudi Arabia to help fight Iraq prior to the first Gulf War. Well the actions of the U.S. and the U.K. are making it look more like Osama was right all along:

The Pentagon has revealed that coalition forces are spending millions of dollars establishing at least six "enduring" bases in Iraq - raising the prospect that US and UK forces could be involved in a long-term deployment in the country. It said it assumed British troops would operate one of the bases.

Almost ever since President Bush claimed an end to "major combat operations" in Iraq on 1 May 2003, debate has focused on how quickly troops could be withdrawn. The US and British governments say troops will remain in Iraq "until the job is done". Yet while the withdrawal of a substantial number of troops remains an aim, it has become increasingly clear that the Pentagon and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) are preparing to retain some forces in Iraq for the longer term. The US currently has around 130,000 troops in Iraq; Britain has 8,000.

Major Joseph Breasseale, a senior spokesman for the coalition forces' headquarters in Iraq, told The Independent on Sunday: "The current plan is to reduce the coalition footprint into six consolidation bases - four of which are US. As we move in that direction, some other bases will have to grow to facilitate the closure [or] transfer of smaller bases."

First Bush said we are not in the business of "nation building". Well that has since proven to be false. Now he intends to have bases built in Iraq to show the Muslim world that we are there to stay. This will do nothing but help al Qaeda recruit even more into their masses and provoke the Middle East as a whole into hatred of the west.

Hannity to guest: "I don't care about
your thoughts" on Iraq veterans protesting the war

On the September 26 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean
Hannity interrupted Global Exchange human rights director Ted Lewis's
discussion of Iraq war veterans protesting the war. Hannity declared, "I
don't care about your thoughts. You can tell them to [co-host] Alan [Colmes]."

From the September 26 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

HANNITY: Well, that's pretty much what [anti-war protester] Cindy Sheehan
has been saying: America is not worth dying for, that it's been taken over
by thugs. America without the Internet would be a fascist state. Are you
willing to align yourself with all that radical extremism?

LEWIS: Well, good evening, Sean.

HANNITY: Good evening.

LEWIS: You know, I saw kind of a different protest out there. There were
a lot of things going on. It really affected me to see so many Iraq veterans
out there marching in front of the White House, talking about their
experiences and why they're disillusioned with this policy. You know, it's
--

HANNITY: All right, Ted, I honestly, I'm not really -- I don't care about
your thoughts. You can tell them to Alan. I'm not asking you that.
