Framing the Presidential Debates
I strongly agree with this Polipundit poster (MJ), who believes the Bush campaign must fight for a level playing field with respect to the debates.
| All proposed debate moderators from CBS should be dismissed as biased. Additionally, Brit Hume from Fox should be added.
Also no debates should take place until two weeks after all Mr. Kerry's military records are releases by Kerry signing the "180 Form" and all 100 pages or so of the requested information has been received by the press and the Bush-Cheney Campaign. Additionally, the debates should be delayed in the same manner until Kerry's second rich wife releases her financial information including her 2003 federal income tax returns and supporting schedules. Not releasing their information provides the Kerry-Edwards an unfair advantage over Bush-Cheney and it is not in the best interests of the Republicans to have the debates to provide the challengers a forum if the Democrats cannot make available required disclosures. It is fine to just negotiate the terms until November 3rd if that is what it takes. |
Framing the Debate
A History of Bias at CBS
Interested in learning about CBS' egregious and biased tactics? While CBS News hit new lows with its forgery scandal, the folks at Black Rock have a long history of outrageously biased behavior. This, the final chapter in their story, is the culminating one... that of total destruction of brand equity. The "CBS News" name is now synonymous with "Pravda", only with less credibility.
| In 1992, Dan Rather saw nothing but smears when a document emerged on February 12, a letter Bill Clinton wrote to his soon-to-be-forsaken ROTC commander Eugene Holmes that said "thank you...for saving me from the draft." CBS was not happy. "Bill Clinton says President Bush's 1988 Willie Horton crowd is smearing him with new campaign dirty tricks," Dan Rather said over the show's opening music. |
Red Flags over Black Rock
CDC: Effect of the Assault Weapons Ban... None
It turns out that banning firearms based upon their appearance (thanks, Barbara Boxer and Bill Clinton!) had no noticable effect on violence. Who'da thunk it? Most folks aren't aware that the ban outlawed guns based upon cosmetic featuers (e.g., pistol grips, flash suppressors, and other gun components that look scary in the movies). Well, the CDC 's latest report indicates that the ban had...
| [Having investigated the effects of]
# Bans on specified firearms or ammunition... # Restrictions on firearm acquisition... # Waiting periods for firearm acquisition... # Firearm registration and licensing of owners... # "Shall issue" concealed weapon carry laws... # Child access prevention laws... # Zero tolerance laws for firearms in schools... # Combinations of firearms laws... ...In summary, the Task Force found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws reviewed for preventing violence. |
Hmmm. No, so not only are the laws unconstitutional, but they also don't work. Make sure you distribute this report to your gun-banner-wannabe friends. The facts always seem to intrude into their fantasy world.
First Reports Evaluating the Effectiveness of Strategies for Preventing Violence: Firearms Laws


This morning I awoke to see a story on Fox News that Kofi Annan had declared the U.S. action in Iraq an "illegal" war. So what would he call the U.N. Oil for Food program? Or the U.N. inaction in the Sudan? I wonder how he would describe his buddy, Saddam's, human rights record before he ended up in a spider hole? I suspect he is doing what he can to brace himself and the U.N. for the coming revelations about the corrupt U.N. program in Iraq. (I was unable to find a link to the story at the Fox News website or any other news site before needing to leave for work. I will update with one later.)...
The inimitable
Polipundit posted an extremely newsworthy analysis of President Bush's ANG service records. Poster "Oak Leaf" "is an active reservist with over twenty years of service that includes both the National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve [and] has extensive experience in personnel programs management". His conclusion:
The educational system at work in the Palestinian territories.



Dan Rather was complicit in defrauding the American public in an attempt to defeat a sitting President. Rather must be fired now. Congress should subpoena CBS News' lawyers and all documentation of their advice.

T has an idea for ridding the US of Islamofascists. His plan involves sensitive monitoring equipment in Mosques (listening for sedition), an "apprehension" team, an AC-130H Spectre, and plenty of pigs' blood. Suffice it to say that T won't be nominated for a post with the diplomatic corps any time soon.


I saw Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News tonight and all I can say is what an arrogant jerk! They covered Bush's appearance before the National Guard convention and had the cajones to jab the President for not answering the latest questions about his national guard service.





The CBS/National Guard documents are, without question, 

Could what happened in Beslan happen in the US? Two months ago, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported on a fellow called Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi, a suspected terrorist who'd fought with his fellow jihadi in Chechnya and somehow wound up in Minnesota, where he'd applied for licences to transport hazardous materials and drive school buses...
This cult attaches itself to a political cause but parasitically strangles it. The death cult has strangled the dream of a Palestinian state. The suicide bombers have not brought peace to Palestine; they've brought reprisals. The car bombers are not pushing the U.S. out of Iraq; they're forcing us to stay longer. The death cult is now strangling the Chechen cause, and will bring not independence but blood.
It's about massacring people while in a state of spiritual loftiness. It's about experiencing the total freedom of barbarism - freedom even from human nature, which says, Love children, and Love life. It's about the joy of sadism and suicide.
Three years after Sept. 11, too many people have become
They're still victims of the delusion that Paul Berman diagnosed after Sept. 11: "It was the belief that, in the modern world, even the enemies of reason cannot be the enemies of reason. Even the unreasonable must be, in some fashion, reasonable."
