| Anderson Cooper had a close call on the Gaza frontline when a rocket exploded just a few blocks from where he was reporting live. The CNN anchor was speaking to the camera in the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Sunday night when a rocket exploded close to where he was standing, causing the veteran journalist to duck for cover. He was discussing the death toll--which includes ten members of the same family--on the Gaza trip as Israel continues to hit Hamas strongholds. So far, 96 Palestinians and three Israelis have died since the conflict began last Wednesday.

Comments:
I look forward to seeing Cooper´s companion video as he ducks when the Iron Dome takes out yet another of the thousands of rockets fired by Hamas at Israel so far this year.

One has to wonder just WHY is it that the American press deems it imperative to get The Bad Guys point of view. He deserves to get blown to pieces if he lets even ONE of their lies onto his broadcast.

Anderson Cooper does a cowardly 180*.
Does Hamas know Andy is a homosexual and an abomination before God?
If they find out he´ll have more than rockets to worry about.

Israel really can´t afford to waste the missile intercepts on these cheap rockets coming. Hamas and Iran are more that happy to deplete their inventory and the only place Israel can get more is from the US and who knows if Obama would approve their sale.They only have 5 missile intercept launchers in the whole country.
It;s not just Hamas that has thousands of these thing but Hezbolah has countless thousands also.Then you have the emerging problem of Iran making their own longer range missiles and sneaking them into Gaza.
I think Israel is holding off on the ground invasion because they´re not really sure what to go after,once in there.What can they really do if the rockets are hidden in mosques,hospitals and schools?

Even though he´s really cute in that bomb vest, I wish CNN would realize that they´re just risking too much by putting him in that position. Did I mention that he´s cute?

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
