For those who have forgotten just how corrupt the Clinton’s are (like anyone could forget) this story should bring shivers down your spine. Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles F. “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, writes about the Armed Forces of National Liberation [FALN] terrorist group that had wreaked havoc on American soil for decades. 146 bombings and armed robberies were linked to the group including this account of a bombing in 1982:

It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, 1982. Two officers on New York Police Department’s elite bomb squad rushed to headquarters at One Police Plaza, where minutes earlier an explosion had destroyed the entrance to the building. Lying amid the carnage was Police Officer Rocco Pascarella, his lower leg blasted off.

“He was ripped up like someone took a box cutter and shredded his face,” remembered Detective Anthony Senft, one of the bomb-squad officers who answered the call 25 years ago. “We really didn’t even know that he was a uniformed man until we found his weapon, that’s how badly he was injured.” Read the rest of this entry »

Lanny Davis, a longtime Clinton supporter and Democrat, was on the John Gibson show today discussing the Hillary and Obama showdown and it was quite an informative discussion on the differences between the two candidates. Both of them are all wrong for this country but one of them has a few accomplishments to name. Accomplishments which she should be ashamed of but at least it is something for her to hang her hat on unlike Obama who has none, zero, zip.

Mark Steyn at his best on this Super Tuesday:

Forget the gaseous platitudes: in Dem terms, their choice on Super Duper Tuesday was deciding which candidate was Super Duper and which was merely Super. Over on the GOP side, it was a choice between Weak & Divisive or Weaker & Unacceptable. Doesn’t bode well for November.

The big surprise of the night is that the South voted for a Republican who has no chance, and essentially gave the Republican nod to McCain.

Funny funny stuff. Here is Hillary tonight at the debate saying why she opposes drivers licenses for illegals: (h/t Hot Air)

Hot Air has the transcript:

HRC: I do not think it is appropriate to give a drivers license to someone who is here undocumented, putting them frankly at risk, because that is clear evidence that they are not here legally.

If you haven’t heard by now here is the bad news. McCain won Florida tonight.

I now see no other scenario where Mitt takes it from him. He will win all the lefty states on the 5th, it sounds like Huckabee will stay in for some freakin reason which will prevent a Mitt vs. John slugfest.

And that will be it.

Just imagine the blogging bonanza this scenario would bring?

the Democratic nomination may come down to whether or not the delegates from Michigan and Florida are seated at the national convention.

According to CNN, right now Hillary’s ahead in the delegate count, 230 to to 152. The winner needs 2,025. But Hillary’s lead is almost entirely already-committed superdelegates, as the contests so far have been all near-ties in terms of delegates: Both she and Obama got 18 out of Iowa, CNN gives Obama one more delegate out of New Hampshire (a sort-of explanation here), they split Nevada 14 each, and Obama won South Carolina’s, 26 to 14.

Looking forward, 370 out of the 441 delegates in California are awarded proportionally. In New York, 151 out of 281 are awarded proportionally, so Obama could walk away with (if current polls are accurate) about 45 delegates from Hillary’s home state. Similarly, she could get about 22 percent of Illinois’ 153 delegates, about 33 delegates.

UPDATE: 7 PM EST Projection: Barrack Hussein Obama WINS SC!

The spectacle of a former President stumping South Carolina stirring up racial animosity would be a HUUUGGEEE scandal if the President doing it were a Republican!

Writing at 5 PM EST on Saturday, we’ll know the results of the Democrat primary in South Carolina in a few hours. While most of us have been distracted dealing with the GOP race, it’s important to consider what is happening on the other side as it’s likely just a warm up act for what we will see in November.

After McCain won the SC GOP primary, attention quickly turned to the Democrats. The air waves immediately filled with commercials by Barrack Obama promising to rob from the rich and give to the poor. That’s not so far off what Hillary and John Edwards were promising as they each marked out a socialist campaign platform.

But the real story was Bill Clinton campaigning all week in the state while his wife was elsewhere as if that would fool the voters into believing she wasn’t responsible for what he was doing. Read the rest of this entry »

Birds of a feather, flock together!

Is this what we will be seeing on our television screens if either McCain or Hillary is elected President?

It was bad enough when the New York Times endorsed McCain. Now this:

This latest Obama racism charge against Hillary should be taken as a warning that come the general both barrels of the PC Double Standard shotgun are going to be loaded and ready to blast holes into the Republican contender.

Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has prepared a detailed memo listing various instances in which it perceived Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign to have deliberately played the race card in the Democratic primary.

The memo, which was obtained by the Huffington Post and has been made public elsewhere, is believed to have been given to an activist and contains mostly excerpts from different media reports. It lists the contact info and name of Obama’s South Carolina press secretary, Amaya Smith, and is broken down into five incidents in which either Clinton, her husband Bill, or campaign surrogates made comments that could be interpreted as racially insensitive.

The document provides an indication that, in private, the Obama campaign is seeking to capitalize on the view - and push the narrative - that the Clintons are using race-related issues for political leverage.

Now here is the thing. The MSM isn’t going all gung-ho on this issue yet because, well, it’s Hillary. Once the two candidates have been decided you can bet your ass that the MSM will be unloading on the white Republican contender if Obama is the Democrat nominee. Anything the Republican says will be answered with RACIST!

But for now we get to eat popcorn and watch as the double standards get strewed around like this typical episode noticed by Allah:

See, for example, this comically anguished semi-apology from Josh Marshall to his readers for even covering the racial angles, urging them to exercise caution in jumping to conclusions about ill intent and command and control. This is the same guy, you’ll recall, whose outfit gleefully accused the GOP of racism last year for running an ad targeting Harold Ford that dared to feature timpani — drums — in the background.

We all remember that episode. The horror! Timpani drums!

Now imagine what will happen in the general.

But if Obama loses and Hillary is the nominee guess what kind of calls we will get? Sexism!

Ace:

So that’s where the Democrats’ fifty years of identity politics have gotten them: If Hillary loses, the party is sexist. If Obama loses, the party is racist.

What a sad and pathetic state the Democrat party is in.

You know we’re heading into Twilight Zone territory when The Washington Post AND The Wall Street Journal both agree on something. What do they agree on? The Democrats screwing the pooch on Iraq. From The Post:

A reasonable response to these facts might involve an acknowledgment of the remarkable military progress, coupled with a reminder that the final goal of the surge set out by President Bush — political accords among Iraq’s competing factions — has not been reached. (That happens to be our reaction to a campaign that we greeted with skepticism a year ago.) It also would involve a willingness by the candidates to reconsider their long-standing plans to carry out a rapid withdrawal of remaining U.S. forces in Iraq as soon as they become president — a step that would almost certainly reverse the progress that has been made.

What Ms. Clinton, Mr. Obama, John Edwards and Bill Richardson instead offered was an exclusive focus on the Iraqi political failures — coupled with a blizzard of assertions about the war that were at best unfounded and in several cases simply false. Mr. Obama led the way, claiming that Sunni tribes in Anbar province joined forces with U.S. troops against al-Qaeda in response to the Democratic victory in the 2006 elections — a far-fetched assertion for which he offered no evidence.

Mr. Obama acknowledged some reduction of violence, but said he had predicted that adding troops would have that effect. In fact, on Jan. 8, 2007, he said that in the absence of political progress, “I don’t think 15,000 or 20,000 more troops is going to make a difference in Iraq and in Baghdad.” He also said he saw “no evidence that additional American troops would change the behavior of Iraqi sectarian politicians and make them start reining in violence by members of their religious groups.” Ms. Clinton, for her part, refused to retract a statement she made in September, when she said it would require “a suspension of disbelief” to believe that the surge was working.

The Journal:

Over the past 12 months, U.S. troops in Iraq have risen every day and gone to work, dangerous work, implementing General David Petraeus’s counterinsurgency strategy. The surge. Across the political spectrum, observers have announced the surge a success. This achievement must be a source of enormous pride to the U.S. soldiers and Marines who have pulled it off.

So what we take away from the four Democratic Presidential candidates’ stunning display of misinformation and false statements about the surge Saturday evening is that they have simply stopped thinking about Iraq. They seem to have concluded that opposition to the war permits them to literally not know what the U.S. or the Iraqis are doing there. As the nation commences the selection of an American President, this is a phenomenon worth noting.

Barack Obama is of a sudden the front-runner, so his view of the surge merits the closest look. His first assertion echoed what has become a standard line by the war’s opponents, that “we have not made ourselves safer as a consequence.” What can this possibly mean? In more than six years there hasn’t been one successful terrorist attack on the U.S., even as places elsewhere were hit or actively targeted.

Then Senator Obama placidly said that the Sunnis in Anbar Province began to help the U.S. “after the Democrats were elected in 2006.” What’s more, the Democrats’ victory showed them they were “going to be left very vulnerable to the Shias.” This obviously means the Democrats would abandon them.

But the Sunni Awakening, as it is called, with its fall in bloodshed, occurred only after the Anbar Sunnis were convinced that the U.S. troops would not abandon them to al Qaeda in Iraq. Sunni sheiks have said explicitly it was the new U.S. policy of sustaining the offensive against AQI that made it possible for them to resist the jihadists. The U.S. military has supported the spread of these “awakening councils” in other areas of Iraq. It is navel-gazing in the extreme for Mr. Obama to suggest U.S. Congressional elections caused this turn.

I’m not really sure what caused The WaPo to suddenly come to the conclusion, a conclusion which many of us have been writing about for quite some time mind you, that the Democrats are hypocrites.

Before The Surge all we heard from them was that we need to try something different, a new strategy, but Bush is too stubborn to do it so we have failed in Iraq. The Surge comes and they say the different strategy is going to fail. The Surge is successful and they tell us its all about the political situation now.

Come on!

Ed Morrissey with a important question:

As the Post noted, both of them tried to push an unconstitutional hijacking of military command from the executive to the legislature. Not only should they answer for their wrong-headedness on policy, but they should also be forced to explain whether they would as President allow Congress to intrude on the role of Commander in Chief so baldly and illegally.

Indeed. I’m guessing the answer to that will be a big no. Once THEY are in power its going to be all about the Executive.

Kathryn at The Corner on Matt Lauer’s obvious bias today when he interviewed Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton:

This morning, the Today Show host interviewed Mitt Romney with hostility and Hillary Clinton with protective understanding. He asked Mitt if he’s a liar buying the election and he asked Hillary about her emotions, both aired near the top of the show, Romney was live, Hillary was taped. I hate being the predictable conservative complaining about the mainstream media, but I know what I saw

You really have to watch the video yourself to see the underlining bias here. Example:

Lauer to Romney - What do you think about McCain saying your trying to buy this election?

Lauer to Romney - Is it all about your money?

Lauer to Romney - Is this state a referendum on your viability as a Presidential candidate?

But when he gets to Hillary his tone softens and he asks:

Lauer to Hillary - The strain started to show a bit?

Lauer to Hillary - I would say its a defining moment in your political life!

Lauer to Hillary - Share how you feel about the comparison between Obama and MLK?

It’s actually quite funny to see it back to back like this.
