Townhall Review
Scooping David Brock et al. And for millions of dollars less!
Brent tells us how President Rush Limbaugh is being hounded by Ken Starr, and this time the press doesn't even care.
Six years ago, the national drama revolved around a heavily investigated leader, his allegedly partisan prosecutor, and the media's fervent desire to save the leader from the prosecutor by hailing the leader as essential to the country and demeaning the prosecutor as a sleazy menace. That was then, and this is now.
Yes, Rush Limbaugh is now being investigated for drug crimes, and nobody cares that the prosecutor is doing sleazy things. Payback is a bitch, isn't it.
Of course, Rush isn't essential to the country, and Clinton never used his radio addresses to call for stiffer penalties for adulterers, but other than that, the parallels between the two situations are uncanny.
Michelle Malkin defends Jay Severin and all the other loyal Americans who had the courage to tell the truth about Muslims and how they should all be killed.
The most recent target of CAIR's campaign to stifle critics of radical Islam is Boston-based radio talk show veteran Jay Severin. On April 23, CAIR issued a press release headlined: "Boston Radio Host Says Kill All Muslims; Islamic Civil Rights Group Calls for Host's Termination." On April 25, the Boston Globe parroted the charges in a story that quoted CAIR spokeswoman Rabiah Ahmed accusing Severin of saying on his show, "I've got an idea, let's kill all Muslims."Just one teensy problem with the story. It wasn't true. On April 27, the Globe was forced to publish a correction admitting that Severin never said "kill all Muslims."
What did he actually say, Michelle? Something like,"I've got an idea, let's quilt all muslin"?
Or maybe what he said was:
"I have an alternative viewpoint. It's slightly different than yours. You think we should befriend them. I think we should kill them."
With "them" being, as the context reveals, "Muslims living in the United States." So, that does change everything, and CAIR owes Severin an apology.
Oh, and CAIR claims that they got the quote about "kill them all" from the radio station's general manager -- who claims he never told them it was an EXACT quote. Meaning, of course, that even he thought that Severin was saying something about killing Muslims But like Michelle says, CAIR members are all terrorists, so we should probably kill them all.
(And by "them," I of course mean the SARS virus. I certainly regret any discomfort that may have been caused by you being too stupid to understand my remarks.)
CAIR, however, has refused to admit the fabrication and continues to call for Severin's termination.
Those intolerant bastards! Why can't they be more truthful and fair, like Michelle and Severin.
Ben has a newsflash: some college students write hateful, immature opinion pieces. Not him, of course. OTHER college students who write mean things about Tillman.
It shouldn't come as a shock to anyone that a grad student was writing this kind of garbage. After all, as I explain in my upcoming book "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth," college campuses aren't exactly hotbeds of patriotism.
What a coincidence that the topic of Ben's column this week should correspond with his recently published book. The odds of that happening must be, like, a million to one!
The reason for the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison? Allowing women in the military.
Military service has become heavily sexualized, with opportunities for male and female soldiers, sailors and Marines to engage in sexual fraternization, which, though frowned upon -- and in certain circumstances, forbidden -- is almost impossible to prevent.
"Heavily sexualized" apparently means "coed." You know, like how the Supreme Court is heavily sexualized because Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor were allowed to join the group, thus giving male and female judges opportunities to engage in sexual fraternization. And once that happens, they try to show off for each other, and the next thing you know, clerks are being tortured in the basement.
So what does this have to do with those pictures of mistreated prisoners? Take a look at the faces of those soldiers again, especially the female soldiers. They look less like sadists than delinquents. They look like they're showing off at some wild party trying to impress everybody with how "cool" they are. What they are doing is despicable, but they seem totally oblivious.
So, if the soldiers in the photos look oblivious to the appalling nature of what they're doing, then obviously the problem was that we allowed women in the military, thus causing everyone to turn goofy. Tell the Pentagon to stop those investigations (including the murder investigations) -- we've found our culprit!
Sadly, women just aren't having enough babies. Feminists are to blame.
American women (like me) born in 1960 wanted an average of 2.3 children, but we actually had just 1.9 children, not enough to replace ourselves.
Gad, do you know what this means? Yes, Maggie has only been 9/10ths replaced!!!
Actually, as she explains in the article, she did her duty and bore a full two children, but she, like today's young people who haven't been brainwashed by feminists, wanted twenty or thirty kids.
According to Longman, "The desire for large families is much stronger among (the younger) age group than among older generations." Among Gen-X Americans (ages 18-29), a stunning 42 percent want at least three children. Among their boomer parents (age 50-64), just 29 percent consider three or more children ideal.
What happened to us people aged 29-50? Don't WE get a generation?
Oh, and while those 18-year-olds may say they want at least three children now, talk to them again later, when they actually have kids whom they are trying to support, and then we'll see if they still want a large family (if not, it was the feminists who made them change their minds).
Jonah says that invading Iraq and turning it into an America-friendly democracy is a lot like heart surgery, in that when the patient dies, you blame it all on Chalabi.
It's not the best analogy for Iraq. Heart surgeons typically have lots of experience. They have guidelines that, if followed more or less faithfully, will yield success most of the time. And heart surgeons rarely get harassed in the operating room.
Yes, heart surgeons usually know what they're doing before they cut open the patient. That's why they rarely get harassed in the operating room.
Walter actually makes a good (albeit totally impractical) point this week -- that if soldiers were paid market value for what they do, then not only wouldn't we need a draft, but countries would be more reluctant to go war, because it would be so costly to the government (and not just the soldiers and society).
Rest assured that if the military offered a compensation package of, say, $50,000 to $100,000 a year, it could get all the soldiers it wanted. Thus, lesson No. 1 is that whenever there's a draft, you know that the wage is too low to get a sufficient number of people to voluntarily supply their labor services.
And since Halliburton is paying its American employees in Iraq $60,000-$100,000 a year tax free, they have no trouble getting truck drivers. I say we just contract the whole war out to them -- that way the soldiers will be true volunteers (people who signed up for duty in Iraq, not just for weekend drills as reservists), the country will go broke in a few months, and we'll think twice before invading any other nations.
Senility has hit Buckley hard. And somehow it's all John Kerry's fault for taking communion.
That government should stay out of the bedrooms of America has come to mean an ever-increasing area of official non-concern. There is to be no concern over sodomy in the bedroom. But are there limits? What about incest? We know that infanticide is just plain illegal, even if undertaken in the bedroom -- provided the infant is at least 1 day old. If the infant is minus 1 day old, it's all right to snuff him/her out, and go to church on Sundays.
Yes, all over America, people are murdering their 23-hour-old infants without fear of legal ramifications, and then going to church on Sundays, for sodomy. But when you run for President you should knock off this kind of behavior, because now your every act belongs to the public.
The difference between giving communion to John Kerry, presidential candidate, and giving communion to John Doe, who voted for a local abortion law, is that Kerry is a public figure, and therefore a transgressor whose transgression is a public act, inviting reprisal, like the protester who draws attention to himself by proclaiming his defiance
Hey, Brent Bozell, Buckley is saying that since Rush is a public figure, and therefore a transgressor whose transgression is a public act, that he SHOULD be treated differently from John Doe Drug Addict. The two of you work this out between you before you write any more columns.
So, Townhall. I think we should kill them all. (And by "them all," I mean Hitler. I certainly regret any discomfort that may have been caused by you failing to believe my lame excuses.)
