Listen to this rant from a poster child for the Left. He’s a college graduate making $7.00 an hour working as a plumber. I guess if the Tea Party is racist, then this makes the Occupy Wall Street group anti-semites…using lefty logic?
(WorldNetDaily)…TEL AVIV – Syrian President Bashar Assad today reportedly warned he will set the Middle East on fire if NATO forces attack his country. “If a crazy measure is taken against Damascus, I will need not more than six hours to transfer hundreds of rockets and missiles to the Golan Heights to fire them at Tel Aviv,” Assad reportedly said, according to Iran’s state-run Fars news agency.
Assad made the comments in a meeting today with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmad Davutoglu, reported Fars. Fars reported Davutoglu conveyed a warning from NATO and the U.S. that Syria could face an international military campaign if Assad does not halt his violent crackdown on an insurgency targeting the Syrian president’s regime. Assad also reiterated that Damascus will call on Hezbollah in Lebanon to launch an intensive rocket and missile attack on Israel, reported Fars. “All these events will happen in three hours, but in the second three hours, Iran will attack the U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf and the U.S., and European interests will be targeted simultaneously,” Assad was quoted as saying. While Assad’s remarks could not be immediately verified, Iran, which runs Fars, is a close partner of the Damascus government.

As Chris Christie makes the grand exit, do we see others perhaps poised to make their entrance? Food for thought….

The calls were made by representatives of the law firm Baker Hostetler – a firm that employs lawyer Mark Braden, who represents Sarah PAC, her political action committee. (more…)
(Politico)…New documents indicate Attorney General Eric Holder was informed of Operation Fast and Furious and its investigative tactics in mid 2010. The new documents, which Fox News says it obtained, show that on October 18, 2010 Deputy Attorney General Lanny Breuer, the chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division, personally informed Holder about the operation in a briefing. The document purportedly was a memo Breuer wrote to Holder saying that prosecutors were ready to issue indictments over Operation Fast and Furious. (more…)
(MarkAmerica)…I should be fair. It’s not simply Karl Rove, but the whole GOP establishment class (which George Will says doesn’t exist), demonstrating this double-standard in media punditry. Despite her impertinence in other respects, at least S.E. Cupp included Christie in her demanding article of Friday, but I’m beginning to wonder if all of the attention on Christie isn’t intended for another purpose. While it’s difficult to stomach the hypocrisy of those who have argued that it’s too late for a Palin entry, saying precious little about a prospective Christie entry in the same context, this could be a media phenomenon with another purpose entirely. What if by holding forth all of this Christie speculation, the GOP establishment is trying to accomplish something else entirely? What could that be? With the sudden spectacle of an accelerated primary calendar, we must consider what else may be afoot.

Cheney comments on the sheer hypocrisy of the Obama Administration for using air strikes to take out enemy combatants without due process, when it railed against the Bush Administration for what they called torture, or as Cheney corrects…”enhanced interrogations”.
