Joe Klein had a great post today calling out Marc Lamont Hill on last night’s O’Reilly Factor. Those new to NewsReal Blog might be unfamiliar with our history of confronting Hill for his extreme views and for Fox and O’Reilly for putting him on as a foreign policy expert when he specializes in hip-hop culture.

I like the irreverent Washington Rebel blog, but unless this post is dripping with more sarcasm than I’m picking up, they missed something.
Yeah, this kid looks harmless (if face-slappingly earnest). But during questioning, I’d become “suspicious” of the “clean cut college guy” too:
The Wyncote native was detained for five hours after Transportation Security Administration screeners [...]

Numerous outlets, including USA Today, the Huffington Post, Democratic Underground, the Daily Kos, Little Green Footballs, the ACLU, and the Cato Institute, not to mention countless liberal blogs and gay websites, have pounced [...]

From a comment on Jeanette Pryor’s post yesterday about Sarah Palin and Rand Paul:
i am guessing that you are and/either/or of the following ….a neo-con, a jew, a zionist……….right?
and you support sustained foreign military action primarily on behalf of israel, right?

Feminist Diversity Cop Wants More “Colored Women” in Vanity Fair
February 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood issue hit newsstands this week, and the full color glossy has taken a decidedly monochromatic approach to highlighting Tinseltown’s up-and-comers. Naturally, the preponderance of slender, white women gracing the Vanity Fair cover is a big deal in the feminist blogosphere.
Fair enough. The Vanity Fair cover does resemble the MSNBC lineup.

Jihad Tactics From Elementary School
No one ever said that jihadists have to be mature. According to The Jerusalem Post, the police in Judea and Samaria are receiving 30-40,000 prank phone calls from Palestinians per month, forcing them to install screening software and to train their staff on how to distinguish fake calls from real ones. The police say that [...]
