UPDATED: Sbenaty isn’t just a member.  He’s the Islamic Center’s spokesman.  So the kind, loving, healing Islamic Center’s spokesman is an avowed 9/11 Truther.   Has, like, no one who’s a professional journalist looked into who these people are yet or dared to ask them that question for all the cameras and microphones they’ve shoved in their faces?   I kid.  The truth is not what this manufactured appearance of a hate crime is about.

While the Dying Media rattles its coil to make another uninformed smear of our state.

If fire can’t melt steel, can non-existent bullets hit a mosque?  Better still, can lead penetrate concrete?  Not in this engineer’s book.

I realize MTSU’s standards for professors scrape the bottom of the barrel but is hiring an avowed 9/11 Truther going to help anyone’s reputation?

I ask since that’s exactly who it was that called the police (via Silence):

Around 3:15, they reported hearing six shots coming from one direction, and about three minutes later they heard three more shots from another direction, said Saleh Sbenaty, a congregation member and MTSU professor.

He wasn’t sure if the shots were being fired at the Muslim group, but in the aftermath of the weekend vandalism, he said they felt it necessary to report.

That’s rich.  Drive-by shootings in broad daylight in Murfreesboro.  Right.

A quick search of Mr. Sbenaty shows that he is indeed an MTSU professor – sorry Moms and Dads that tuition money gets what it pays for.  That search also yields this little tidbit.  Sbenaty is a signator on a petition with the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth:

So, I’m left wondering – just how many Muslims at the Islamic Center in Murfreesboro are in fact 9/11 Truthers or worse?  Who will rebuke Sbenaty’s radical and counterproductive views that keep the community from coming together?

Will the healing begin after we realize that Muslims weren’t behind it and that it was really Bush and the Jews?  Is that when the “healing” begins?

Because frankly, I can’t wait.

His MTSU bio also indicates that he’s the faculty advisor of the Muslim Student Association as well as enriching experiences with the Oak Ridge facility famous for the Manhattan Project and Lockheed.   It’s always encouraging to know the kids are in good hands.

I can’t wait but evidently I will need to since they still list one of their Board members on their website who was allegedly suspended in July for promoting Hamas on his Myspace page.

If these people are the moderates then which ones are the extremists?  Inquiring minds and all.

TPM (Talking Points Memo aka The Pyro Maniacs) has the most unusual story.  It seems the investigators of the Islamic Jihad Center in Murfreesboro aren’t calling it a hate crime.  But, but, but….how can that be when every dumb ass commie in the state has already decided that Rutherford County Tea Partiers high on their recommended daily allowance of Glenn Beck are lynching Moslems in the streets?

“I haven’t seen any indications that this is any type of domestic terrorism,” Anderson (the ATF special agent) said, and there are “no indicators that we’re aware of that would put us in the position of a hate crime. I wouldn’t deny that there’s a lot of tension in the community, on both sides, but I don’t think there’s anything that points to a hate crime at this point.”

Hrm.  No indication of domestic terrorism.  No indicators of a hate crime.  Tension “on both sides”.

“Innocent until proven guilty” must only apply to Muslims and illegal aliens.

And when the Mosque protesters are found innocent by the ATF, the FBI and everybody else I’m sure all of our commies and kafirs will apologize for lynching their fellow citizens, right?

Sitemeter’s showing somebody likes this old post about how the media used to mock Bush, Sr. as a wimp (you know how those faggitty retired CIA / youngest Navy pilot / WWII veteran types are) but nobody ever mocks Obama in his retarded bicycle helmet wearing,  pedal-phile, slobbing on his ice cream cone knob up and down Martha’s Vineyard.

He licks so many ice cream cones I need to turn his ass out and put him on a street corner to make me some money.

It’s a new oldie but a goodie, if by “goodie” you mean “we’re all going to die because this sissymary Urkel Meets Pee Wee Herman is going to get us killed”.

Enjoy!

It’s like the climax getaway scene in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry where Vic Morrow (though not half-black or wearing a safety helmet)  is chasing after Peter Fonda and Susan George (two white, non-Muslims I might add) and he can’t quite nab them but he gets so inside of their heads that they screw themselves up.

That’s O’bama’s Luck of the Irish.   The Man In Command.  And this is going to make you feel so much better about airport security.

Two men taken off a Chicago-to-Amsterdam United Airlines flight in the Netherlands have been charged by Dutch police with “preparation of a terrorist attack,” U.S. law enforcement officials tell ABC News.

U.S. officials said the two appeared to be travelling with what were termed “mock bombs” in their luggage. “This was almost certainly a dry run, a test,” said one senior law enforcement official.

Not to worry, not to worry.  Both men only made it through two U.S. airports in Chicago and Birmingham, allowed to board both planes with mock bombs, multiple cellphones, large knives, box cutters and thousands in cash and they were still allowed to fly to Amsterdam.  I feel better already about this TSA agent fisting my prostate and having to wear pajamas and slippers to the airport while getting strip searched alongside some nuns from Dubuque and a kid with asthma in a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, Jethro the Security Guard is allowed to use the body scanner to take naked pictures of you and your kids and send them to his home e-mail account to jerk to and share with his friends later.

Though ABC News fails to identify the particular religious affiliation of these as yet Innocent Until Proven Guilty* ™ suspects,  Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi and Hezem al Murisi, they did mention that one is from Yemen which is widely known for its militant, rightwing teabagger Christianist population.

Because you see, we can jump to conclusions about some people and not others.

As we’ve seen with the Kentucky Census Worker case, you can blame limited government conservatives and accuse them of murder, try and convict them with zero evidence.  And never issue a correction.

You can be a leftwing Talking Points Memo blogger and firebomb and Democrat’s campaign office and they’ll blame Tea Partiers.

Or, you can be a lifelong Democrat who calls yourself a Tea Partier and makes a bunch of racist comments to smear them buy association.  It’s not like Professional Journalists with layers of fact-checkers are ever going to investigate who you are before they smear conservatives with their false narratives.

So when a fire mysteriously starts at a jihad training camp and the national media immediately jumps to the conclusion that some Constitution-loving, Patriotard has been stoking his anger after a long night of banging his head to Lee Greenwood and tracing his trigger finger around his leatherbound Glenn Beck transcripts that you’re going to have to excuse me for being a bit skeptical that a movement so paranoid about people making it look like a bunch of hillbilly racists would so easily play into the enemy’s hands when their enemies have such a history of planting the evidence on them.

Just because you’re comfortable with you bicyc-uality doesn’t mean I am.

Who’s up for another vacation?!?

al-Sharpton, without a hint of irony or expectation of being asked a follow-up question, commented on not being provoked:

“Trouble today? Ain’t no trouble today. We wouldn’t disgrace this day by allowing you to provoke us.“

That certainly explains your counter-protest.

Extreme Makeover: Leftwing Bigot Edition

The seven “diamond merchants”  burned to death as result of Sharpton inciting a racist riot at Freddie’s Fashion Mart and murdered rabbinical student Yankel Rosenbaum stabbed to death at the prompting of a Sharpton inspired mob shouting “Kill the Jews” are still unavailable for comment.

We know how Sharpton hates being provoked.  He also hates painting people with a broad brush.  Profiting from crimes he’s responsible for?  He’s pretty cool with that.

It’s amazing that this disgraced, racebaiting terrorist still gets not only a press pass for current comments but one from recent history as well. 1995 was not that long ago.  Especially for a Democrat candidate for President.

Bonus Question: Between al-Sharpton and Obama, who gets to be the moderate?  Sharpton likes his Jews killed through attrition and close enough that he can hear the screams.  Obama wants the entire state of Israel destroyed at once from afar and preferably with zero emissions so as not to pollute the environment.  Discuss.

Earlier this week, the reliably far-Left smear merchants at the Daily Show lampooned the anti-jihad training center protest going on in Murfreesboro.  Well, lo and behold just a few scant days later there has been a fire set on the construction property.

An apparent case of arson to a piece of construction equipment at the site of the proposed Islamic Center of Murfreesboro was being investigated Saturday by the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

…

Sheriff’s department Lt. Randy Groce, who was at the site on Veals Road at Bradyville Pike Saturday morning, told The Daily News Journal that it was unclear “exactly what we’ve got here,” and declined further comment until more facts could be gathered.

Huh?  It was “unclear exactly what we’ve got here”???  Pieces of equipment clearly doused with gasoline.  A Boy Scout jamboree gone awry?

What Islamic training center is complete without a jungle gym?

If they ever get their hands on the Jihad 3000 Action Playset it’s all over for us

Well, what do you know, Chief?

Carmie Ayash, a spokeswoman for the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, said the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Department told center officials that the fire was reported around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. The other three pieces of construction equipment were damaged when doused by gasoline, she said.

Just hanging around the construction site at 1:30 AM, huh?

Allow me to posit what might not be such an unusual theory:

Fresh from being blessed with the Daily Show Victim Card, the local Islamonazis poured gas on their own insured equipment to coincide with the Glenn Beck Snoozefest.  Obviously, some rightwing teabagger all hopped up on 10-hours of Beck’s annoyingly bland excuse for rhetoric thought it would help his/her cause by playing right into the Accomplice Media’s message of mosque opponents being violent extremists.

Tawana Brawley Terrorism courtesy of our own little al-Sharptons.

All of these months of protests and not one assault.  Not one warrant.

I don’t buy it.  I hereby call “Shenanigans” and toss the Fake Hate Crime Card into the pot.  The real extremists know how to play the media like a fiddle.   Usually they’ll just slap a few strips of bacon in a Koran or spray paint “Moslems Go Home” on their own property and leave pro-Israeli notes admitting why they did it.  Tennessean vandals are so pro-Zionist dontchyaknow?

I call “shenanigans”.  Let the chips fall where they may.

USA Today’s hilariously misnamed “Faith and Reason” columnist rhetorically asks in the inimitably loaded/retarded USA Today fashion “Is Arson at a Mosque Site A Kind of Terrorism?”

Gee, I dunno brainiac.  Do ya think?

Let me ask a different question, if they find out that they did it themselves will you report it and is is still a kind of terrorism?  Some people use bombs.  Some people use political correctness to terrorize people into silence.  Come to think of it, USA Today plants their little IEDs of idiocy by the roadside and in high-traffic public areas too.

A bored traveler accidentally stumbles upon one of their stands, curiously gambles $1.50 in the slot and BOOM!  They lose 25 IQ points.   The walking wounded with a picture-is-worth-a-thousand-word stare.

Don’t Do It! That thing’s gonna blow.

Is USA Today’s “Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader” Commentary a Kind of Terrorism?  Only to our culture and to their shareholders.

During the Obama/McCain campaign, I created this YouTube video to poke fun at the constant accusations of racism that were just then starting. Of course, I had no idea how bad it would get and how it would continue with every talking head explaining away one of Obama’s failures.

I’m reposting it not only because it is still relevant, but also because of the hundreds of comments I’ve received. Among the comments from the semi-literate (f**k Obama, McCain suxx, etc.) and the real racists from both ends, there are comments that fascinate me. People from all ends of the political spectrum are seeing what they want to see. Check it out. It’s only 37 seconds. I’ll wait for you.

Some conservatives think this is a blatant smear on McCain put there by liberals. Liberals often cry racism, no surprise there, even though the treatment is so absurd.

My favorite comment comes from a guy who said he is “baked as f**k” and still knows its a joke.

So, does anyone know if there is a psychological or cultural term for people who see something through their own biases? Maybe I can get a PhD in this.

This may be outing a bit too much inside baseball but is anybody else seeing vastly improved content from jerk-light spam in our queue?   Way better than those Ed Hardy hoodies and discount Xanax.

Kudos, you bawdy little spam monkeys.  Keep jerkin’ for the stars.

The Left always likes to say that the US is the world’s leading exporter of terrorism.

By the looks of our current foreign policy, it appears they meant it as a compliment since we are paying a much ballyhooed “moderate” radical cleric to incite terrorism abroad and bring back souvenirs when we’re not paying him to piss on the charred remains of the World Trade Center and run a victory lap while flicking us the bird.

Steve Emerson has unearthed 13 hours of audio tape of Imam Rauf. Emerson and his team of investigators has spent the past four weeks going through the newly found material. Rauf  is a “radical extremist cleric who cloaks himself in sheep’s clothing.”

Among the shocking revelations Emerson’s team will reveal next week — they found Rauf:

Defending wahhabism – a puritanical version of Islam that governs Saudi Arabia

Calling for the elimination of Israel by claiming a one-nation state, meaning no more Jewish State.

Defending Bin Laden’s violence

Demonstrating that there is a lot more to this man than merely a cleric.

Whatever happened to Separation of Church and State?  Oh, I get it.  That only applies to Christian churches.  Or, when you need to rob your neighbor’s pocket.

We’re getting the form of Obama’s 2012 campaign slogan:

“A mosque on every corner and a chicken in every roost!”

I must admit that’s a bit catchier than:

“An SEIU thug in every HR office and a recess appointed Communist mole in every embassy.”

and a far cry better from:

“Uranium in every missile and a Jew in every oven.”

At some point, everybody’s got to realize that he’s not on our side.  Right?

Much has been said about the “dialogue” on race. Unfortunately, there is only one media response to it and it hasn’t changed since I’ve been old enough to watch the evening news sometime in nineteen-seventy-blady-blah-blah.

Once upon a time racism was doing racist things. How naive we were!

Of course, as the Civil Rights movement devolved into a growth industry, the definition of racism grew a bit. Ethnic studies helped us, and especially our friends in the news rooms, to understand that racism isn’t really about doing anything actually racist. You see, it’s institutional racism. Which means you are by default an oppressor.

Isn’t a reduction in school lunch programs de facto racism, Mr. Reagan?

The MSM isn’t doing itself any favors flaunting its sense of moral superiority over the dolts on the other side of the screen.

The ever growing circle of what defines racism is, in my humble opinion, part of the reason so many people are tuning out the collective wisdom of Katie, Diane and Charlie. Who wants to be sitting there after dinner and feeling like they are racists because they insensitively use racist code words like “fiscal discipline” and “elitist” or have the nerve to call a corrupt politician corrupt – even if that pol happens to be black.

You are all bad people. And that’s a page out of Katie’s notebook! TTFN!

With the Daily Show’s masterful demolition of the race card, maybe there can be a fair “dialogue” on race. Hahaha, just kidding there. Al Sharpton is still breathing!

UPDATE: Exhibit A
As an aside, Juan Williams is my favorite NPR personality and that’s in no small part because he appears on FOX. The non-shouting match debates hosted by Chris Wallace and others represent political debate at its best.

It’s not like we didn’t know what Loven was a long time ago:

From the May 9, 2009 White House Correspondents Dinner:

Jennifer Loven -

“Seriously, there are those who think this center (the WHCA) has really outlived its purpose.  That it makes us in the press too cozy with those we cover. That the relationship with those of us covering The White House and those in it are too easily manipulated.

So, as your President of this Association, I plan to address all of those concerns tonight just as soon as Robert Gibbs spoon feeds me my dinner.”

Once spoonfed, now she holds the spoon.  Out of the mouths of Not-Babes accidentally slips the truth (via Brent Baker at NewsBusters).

Jennifer Loven, an 18-year AP veteran and the wire service’s chief White House correspondent, has decided to put her communications talents to work for The Glover Park Group, a DC-based “strategic communications firm” founded in 2001 by a bunch of Clinton and Gore staffers, most prominently Joe Lockhart, who found themselves unemployed after the 2000 election. She’ll be “Managing Director in its Public Affairs practice,” a Thursday press release from the Glover Park Group, plugged by Politico’s Mike Allen, announced.

She’s the second President in a row of the White House Correspondents’ Association to leave journalism for a left-wing, or at least left-leaning, lobbying outfit. In June, Bloomberg’s White House reporter, Ed Chen, formerly of the Los Angeles Times, jumped to the Natural Resources Defense Council as Federal Communications Director. (My complete Obama-journalism revolving door list.) Loven held the WHCA position for 2008-2009 and was succeeded by Chen.

It’s not a “revolving door” Brent – it’s a revolving sweat stained mattress.  If we held Loven under a blacklight she would glow like Chernobyl.

At least now she’s being paid to be the outspoken liberal she has always been vs. the pretend objective reporter that she’s never been.

Sounds like somebody found their Magic 8-ball then poured it out on the tray and chopped out some Ashley Biden sized lines of teeth-numbing goodness:

“We’ve got three months to go, so we figure we can politic for three months. They’ve forgotten I politic pretty good,” he said. “I’m happy to have this debate over the next several months about what their vision of the future is, because they don’t have one.”

Let’s make sure our vision of the present is clear before we break out the Ouija board and do a few lines off of it.  Massive unemployment, he’s failed our troops and lost two wars that were relatively in hand, as Carjacker-In-Thief he stole two car companies and gave them to his union buddies, a nuclear Iran is months away, a deteriorating border and the only thing redder than his unprecedented deficits are his Cabinet appointments.

By all means, let’s talk about The Future because Your Present sucks.

Rick Perry offers Obama a shovel-ready job:  Here you go, son.  Dig your own grave:

Gov. Rick Perry welcomed President Barack Obama to Texas with a round of applause—literally — clapping as the president descended Air Force One today in Austin. It was the first time a governor has applauded the president in a tarmac greeting, an Obama spokesman said.

But it wasn’t all warm and fuzzy between the Republican governor and the Democratic president. Perry handed a letter to Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, standing behind the president, in which he charged the federal government with neglecting its responsibility for border security.

Only the most slavish bootlick masochist would try and portray Perry’s backhanded “applause” as something to celebrate.

*Applause* – I just love the way you’ve failed the country like you failed The Gulf during the oil spill, the workers during your Depression, and the freedom-loving world during your Groveling Tour!

On the bright side, imagine what a positive spin they’ll have during the Impeachment hearings.

Moops win!

Reconquering Spain 100 yards of beach at a time:

Michelle Obama today faced a fresh wave of attacks over her lavish break in Spain with 40 friends, which could easily cost U.S. taxpayers a staggering £50,000 a day.

What’s a girl to do?  Her husband’s economic policies have already placed a moratorium on families being able to afford vacations in the US.  Besides, that Chevy Volt wouldn’t even get you out of the county.

The First Lady has been lambasted for her extravagance at a time when the economy is still struggling. One blogger went so far as to brand her a modern-day Marie Antoinette.

And her critics will be further annoyed when they learn that the president’s wife had a Spanish beach closed off today so that she, her daughter and their entourage could go for a swim.

…

Police used palm trees and police tape to mark off the boundaries of a 100-yard expanse for the American delegation. On either side, onlookers gawked – and police occasionally stopped and searched sun lovers if they strayed too close to the private party.

Papers, please!  Of course, onlookers gawk.  That’s what they do.

But 100 yards of beach, the length of a football field, to get your knees wet?  Aside from the hypocrisy of telling everyone to tighten their belts as Mrs. Peron goes on yet another all-inclusive 5-star vacation, we know why so much of that beach is closed don’t we?

We can’t let those nasty photogs glimpse the Hottentot Venus in between lecturing the country that she’s not really proud of about how fat they are.

Whaddaya say, toots?   If we saw that our tax money had stretchmarks like your ass we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

To the Victory Garden Sea Bass Tartare followed by a main course of lobster with seaweed risotto!

/Because she’s a Private Citizen ™!

Hey all my Vol friends…dontcha miss Lane Kiffin?:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The NCAA has interviewed several current and former Tennessee coaches and recruits regarding an investigation into possible recruiting violations, people with knowledge of the probe have told the Associated Press.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

ESPN reported Friday that Tennessee expects to receive a letter of inquiry soon about possible violations under former coach Lane Kiffin and his staff.

Y’all will be pleased to know that Lane Kiffin is doing SO well over at USC.

Update: Via Bruinsnation, here’s a sneak peak at the latest USC Football Media Guide:

Go to our good friend Brian Ledbetter’s site Snapped Shot to watch black tea party members smack down the so-called “press”.

I’m sure this press conference will be featured on CNN.

Ugh.

I Can’t believe I am going to actually push the lever for ex-Governor Moonbeam.

Meg Whitman is a fraud. She can’t ever give a straight answer to even a simple question. She tells English-speaking California voters one thing and turns around and tells Spanish-speaking voters (and illegal aliens) another.

John and Ken of LA’s KFI has exposed her.

Sheesh…how many sentences does she have to begin with “So…” ?

Look, (as painful as it might be) I’d rather have Jerry Brown circle California even closer to the bottom of the drain with policies that are OBVIOUSLY moonbatty and give us a shot at real conservative leadership in 2014, then let Meggy wreck California and insure a decade or more of San Francisco-style liberalism afterward.

It’s this:

San Francisco…you suck.

Your city is so beautiful, but you liberal nutjobs have totally $&#^ed it up.

Let’s see…drug use is OK, extremely deviant sexual activities celebrated
…

But bottled water, purchasing pets and soda…NO, we can’t have that!:

Damn, Zo’s been on fire lately:
