Obama, The Mortal

What good are smarts if they are put toward a dumb ideology?
Virtually every day during the Iraq War when George Bush was president, the New York Times featured a dead soldier, or many dead soldiers, on its front page.

So the Village Voice has a deceitful response to David Horowitz, who called them out on their smear. Rather than address Horowitz’s critique (that the Voice tried to depict him as a racist), Roy Edroso instead tries to further muddy the waters:
We have Horowitz saying, “Hill is one of a community of black intellectuals promoted well [...]

Obama’s people then leaked the story to the press. The President wants Andrew Cuomo to be his party’s nominee, since Paterson seems sure to lose the general election.

Lat night, Rachel Maddow had another one of her “TRUTH about the LIES about ACORN” segments, but it was not worth dwelling on. Most of the segment was a rehash of what Maddow has been saying for the past week—ACORN is essentially good, the right wing is out to smear this organization unjustly, yada, yada, [...]

I was at the much-ballyhooed event last Friday, and here is my report in Human Events today: The organizers of the “Islam on Capitol Hill” event last Friday came only about 47,000 people short of their goal of bringing 50,000 Muslims to Washington to pray in front of the Capitol building….
