| When a candidate can't run on his past and has no ideas for the future, he must destroy his opponent in the present -- which can be done by distorting his adversary's history and lying about his plans for the future. There is a problem with this approach, however. It works only if people trust the candidate doing the distorting. Should people actually take a look for themselves and not come up with the same conclusion, the disseminator with the poor past and no plans begins to lose credibility.

Can't help noticing yet another Zero-helpful article on Yahoo about unemployment going down in some states. Two weeks ago, Marketwatch.com was posting similar Zero-aiding articles. Funny, how things are 'improving' a few weeks before a Presidential election.
We smell a rat.

The, thankfully, few people I know who are voting for Obama are one-issue loons who can't see beyond their own obsessions, and can't spot a liar because they are so self-deluded. One such nut is a co-worker who can't wait for "free" Obamacare. He ignores my suggestion to Google "Obamacare calculator" to see how much he'll be forced to have deducted from his paycheck, assuming he even has a job by then, for this "free" care.

Obama is fragile, because he lies.
That is why he is so terrified of real questions from the media.
5 weeks of lies about Benghazi may be more than even the complicit media can cover up.

We´ve heard a lot of speculation about Tamerlan Tsarnaev as the reason Dzhokhar went bad, but maybe there were other influences, as well. Steve Urbon, a columnist for the local newspapers where Dzhokhar went to college, has broken the story of his academic path toward obsession with Chechnya. Naturally enough, it started in high school, at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. Urbon writes in SouthCoastToday, a paper serving the New Bedford area: It was a perfectly logical thing to do. English teacher Steve Matteo at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School put his Chechen-born student in

With his capture Friday evening in Boston, terrorist bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev would seem to have abandoned all hope of ever amounting to anything useful. He may, however, be selling his adopted country short. In America, at least in certain quarters thereof, our fellow citizens have a history of rehabilitating terrorists and restoring them to places of honor. President Barack Obama knows something about this. It was no more than fifteen years after Bill Ayers walked away -- "Guilty as hell. Free as a bird." -- from his 1970's career as an underground bomber that he became Obama's mentor,

Boston and the nation have gone through a trauma and a degree of catharsis over the attack in Boston, and now the battle to define how we discuss that incident and the perps is underway. Media progressives openly hoped and predicted the perp would turn out to be a white male who followed Sarah Palin on Twitter, and are now trying to recover from the awful truth that Islam and jihad look like the motives. Yesterday in these pages, J. Robert Smith accurately predicted how the progressives would frame the accused

Honestly, even on Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday morning, Alisyn Camerota and Brian Kilmeade referred to the Brothers Tsarnaev as "boys." Boys? The dead Tsarnaev was 26-years-old. The captured Tsarnaev is 19-years-old. One was a man, the other a younger man, if a distinction is needed. Both were cold-blooded killers - that would be murderers of women, a boy (a real boy: eight-year-old Martin Richard), and a MIT law enforcement officer (an MBTA Transit Police officer was serious wounded).

The latest go-to publication of leftist sensibility, Salon, offers a hint of what the left´s spin will be on the two Chechen brothers who bombed the Boston Marathon, killing three and maiming scores. (snip) The Brothers Tsarnaev grew up in an environment of conflict and bloody violence, and are, therefore, victims. They are traumatized, not terrorists -- at least, not terrorists who are motivated by their Muslim faith even if that seems apparent. Even if it's proven that they have links to Middle Eastern or other Muslim terrorist groups

The word "prestigious" is being attached to the public high school serving Cambridge, Massachusetts in public discussion of Suspect number two, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who attended Cambridge Rindge and Latin, and even won a scholarship. This meme appears to have originated in a blog published in the Weekly Standard (snip) We are trying to get a sense of exactly who Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is. I am afraid a somewhat misleading meme is being created. Maybe he was a boy-genius who excelled academically. But maybe not

Boo-hoo! David Sirota of Salon Magazine must be in mourning this morning, for the hopes he expressed in a piece titled "Let´s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American," have been dashed. One can only imagine he has plenty of company among members of the MSM who are smart enough not to admit their lust to blame their political foes for the Boston violence. Public opinion polls revealed that most Americans suspected the Marathon bombers were domestic ion origin, a suspicion one must guess they picked up from the wallpaper media, the MSM

Who in their right mind would even think of questioning accounts of politically momentous events (such as Sandy Hook) proffered by various MSM outlets? Well, at this point, many will agree that the MSM has dropped even the merest pretense of objectivity; MSM journalism has been fundamentally transformed into sheer advocacy. Here, we are going to do something the MSM won´t: provide context for the Sandy Hook event by conducting a statistical analysis of hard data on 30 years´ worth of mass public shootings in the United States.

A faculty member at New York State´s largest public university was arrested yesterday, espousing a very peculiar interpretation of the First Amendment. Laura E. Curry, an adjunct instructor of media studies, was incensed at a display erected by Students for Life in a space reserved for free speech. As first reported by Creative Minority Report: A University of Buffalo (SUNY) professor was arrested for screaming obscenities at an administration approved graphic pro-life display. While cursing profusely, she accused the pro-lifers of being "profane."

Those nasty conservatives forced us to cover the Gosnell trial That´s my translation of the New York Times headline, "Online Furor Draws Press to Abortion Doctor´s Trial." The piece by Trip Gabriel appeared on page A12 of today´s print edition, and finally brings inhabitants of the Times Bubble up to date on an outline of the most dramatic details of the testimony so far. But the main thrust of the piece is to avoid confronting the nature of the blackout, and focus attention on the role of social media and the paranoid anger of the right.

How many times did we hear reporters on the cable nets caution everyone about speculating regarding the perpetrators of the deadly attacks yesterday at the Boston Marathon? About as often as they proceeded to give their listeners the idea that it was "right wing extremists" who were behind the bombing. (snip)It takes a monumental effort to separate logic from reality and caution against blaming an entire religion for the actions of one or a few, while gleefully charging that an entire political philosophy and political party is at fault for those same actions.

This weekend´s much-discussed ruling by the Master´s to penalize Tiger Woods, yet allow him to continue play, speaks to issues far more significant than Tiger or the game of golf. How this is being discussed across message boards speaks to where we are as a society, and not all of it is pretty -- even on the right. Perhaps especially on the right. Consider: For any society to function and facilitate liberty, there must be some guardrails and reliably upheld rules and laws, because without such, chaos rules -- and liberty and chaos are simply not compatible.

Watertown, Mass.– A number of gun shots were fired near Franklin Street in Watertown Friday night and it was believed that suspect number 2 in the Boston Marathon bombings had been shot. FOX 25's Bob Ward reported that as many 30 shots were fired in the neighborhood. Ward reported that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the man known as suspect 2, was shot by police. It was not immediately known if Tsarnaev was killed. A bomb squad could be seen responding to the scene. A massive police presence was also in the area. FOX 25's Jarrod Holbrook reported that Tsarnaev was seen in a boat with a canvas

Federal law enforcement officials are actively investigating the possibility that the Boston bombers were known to the government’s terror-trackers, MailOnline understands. Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout. The feds reportedly spoke to him at the request of an unspecified foreign government, but couldn´t

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

The FBI was last night hunting a 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to the Boston marathon bomb brothers.Police believe Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were specially trained to carry out the devastating attack.More than 1,000 FBI operatives were last night working to track down the cell and arrested a man and two women 60 miles from Boston in the hours before Dzhokhar’s dramatic capture after a bloody shootout on Friday.

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

We are still speculating about virtually everything right now, but I feel as though I need to explain why I find the quick and easy conversation about Muslims being radicalized in America to be so illogical and laced with bigotry. Of course, there is a global violent jihadist movement, loosely organized, that wants to recruit young men to influence policies at home and abroad and perhaps usher in the global caliphate. That ideology motivates some Muslims to kill innocent people.But you´re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America.

The Council on American Islamic Relations again offered sympathy to victims of the Boston Marathon bombing on Friday, but added a plea for Americans not to generalize and conclude that Muslim teachings influenced the suspect in any way. "Our focus is primarily on the victims," said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Chicago chapter at a press conference Friday afternoon. "We don´t want to be drawn into defending ourselves." Citing acts of violence in Boston and New York, Rehab blamed Islamophobic forces for inciting hate crimes.

Speaking Sunday on CBS’ ”Face the Nation,” Deval (deh-VAL’) Patrick said it’s hard to imagine why someone would deliberately harm, quote “innocent men, women and children in the way that these two fellows did.” Patrick also said law enforcers believe the immediate threat ended when the police killed one of the alleged terrorists and captured the other. The two men were brothers whose family had come to the U.S.
