GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann learned that protesters often come in adorable packages. A video captures the Minnesota congresswoman greeting 8-year-old Elijah and his mom at a signing event for Bachmann's book, "Core of Conviction: My Story," in South Carolina.

Phony media is far too happy helping activists they agree with push their agenda by using kids. They even call this 8-year old an activist. Notice also how they describe Bachmann's reaction. There is nothing Bachmann could have done and said in this situation.

Despicable people like this kid's mom and the phony journalists who wrote this story have no qualms about using kids to push their agenda.

How do you think the phony media reacted and what they would have wrote if an 8-year old confronted Obama or any democrat and whispered in their ears that he is thankful that his mom did not abort him?

The relationship was controversial within MF Global even before the company’s financial problems hit the news as executives questioned why an outside firm was needed for work that had long been done in-house.

“I don’t know what they did,” one MF source said. “It was always unclear.”

Another MF employee told The Post that Teneo originally wanted $200,000 a month for its work, but that was too steep a price for MF decision-makers.

What does $125K a month buy from Clinton? Are there any investigative journalist left to look into this?

Do you think Brian Williams will cock his head and ask the question? Do you think the pompous asses sitting in the anchor chairs of network news will cover this story?

The FBI probe of two men arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items turned up in one of the men's luggage is finding they were probably not on a test run for a future terror attack, a U.S. official said Tuesday, casting doubt on earlier suggestions even as Dutch authorities held the pair on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act.

Yep, the anonymous official just cleared these guys. They are good old muslims and they were traveling with common muslim travel gear like "a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, multiple cell phones and watches taped together, and a knife and box cutter. " Nothing to worry here, jut move on people. Let's not infringe upon the muslims' freedom of travel.

Associated Press writers Corey Williams in Detroit, Phillip Rawls in Montgomery, Ala., Joan Lowy, Matt Apuzzo and Mark Smith in Washington, D.C., and Mike Corder and Arthur Max in The Hague contributed to this report

That's seven (7) AP writers who contributed to this story. None of them investigated these two guys. Who they were, where they live, what they do, why they were traveling to where they were traveling, why is it common for them to carry bundled cell phones and other items they had. No sir, there is no curiosity at all. Just take the anonymous official's claim and make it a headline. Nice job guys!

There is a debate to be had about the sensitivity of building this center so close to Ground Zero.

But we can not let fear and rage tear down the towers of our core American values.

That's a page from Katie Couric's notebook - CBS News.

This is the most insulting thing I heard.

Katy Couric just told us all Americans who oppose the mega victory mosque at Ground Zero that we are no better than the 19 islamist terrorists who planned and executed the brutal attack on Twin Towers.

This is a disgusting moral equivalency!

Mr. Obama and his economic team had clearly hoped for an economic rebound in time for the midterm elections. They are not going to get it. The economic damage they inherited was too deep, and the economic stimulus they pushed through Congress, for all of the fight, was too small. Standing back is not doing the country or his party any good. We believe Americans are ready for hard truths and big ideas.

So the NYT editor's advice to Obama is Blame Bush, claim you didn't spend enough and make speeches about hard truths and big ideas. That is almost two years after his election.

Well... you liberal elites keep deluding yourselves. November is right around the corner and ready or not, you will face the hard truth and you will hear from the patriotic Americans you so detest.

President Obama is a Muslim." "He's not an American citizen." "He wasn't even born here."

None of this is true. But to surprising levels, it is believed.

Blame it on the media, or on human nature. All presidents deal with image problems — that they're too weak or too belligerent, too far left or far right. But Obama also faces questions over documented facts, in part because some people identify more with the rumormongers than the debunkers.

Propaganda machine is working overtime to discredit rumors that Barack Hussein Obama is muslim.

Why? Why are media elites furiously trying to make the case that our first muslim president is in fact not a muslim? Why aren't they celebrating the fact that we elected not only the first black but also the first muslim president? Do they hate islam? What are they afraid of?

This propaganda piece is another perfect example how these media minions think. They blame this gross misunderstanding to "media" and the "people." Well, the media they blame is obviously the internet, bloggers and talk radio. They also blame the public because they "suffer from anemia, from lack of appetite and curiosity for the human scene." Yeah, we are all too dumb to understand that Barack Hussein Obama who was fathered by a muslim, who went to a madrasa when he was a kid, who has a sketchy history with links to islamic radicals, who once uttered the words "my muslim faith", who wrote "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.", who called the muslim call to prayer the most beautiful sound on earth, who has been apologizing to muslims all over the world, who won't hold prayer breakfasts but celebrate ramadan in the White House, who strongly endorses a mega-mosque at Ground Zero is not muslim.

Yeah, sure!

Mr. Douthat evidently wants to help his president by insisting on the idea that any and all opposition to the Ground Zero mosque is bigoted. As liberals always do, he does not answer any arguments against the mosque. He does not even want to consider the sensitivity to the victims of 9/11. He does not want to question, just as his president doesn't, the wisdom of those who are pushing for this mosque. All he wants is to attack the people who have legitimate concerns about the muslims and the religion of islam in America.

Now, here is the interesting part: He has another column published on December 6, 2009 and titled "Europe’s Minaret Moment." When you read that column you would see that he actually has a pretty good grasp of the problems and issues islam and muslims present to the Western Civilization. He seems to understand what Europeans are dealing with their muslim immigrants. You would think that someone who wrote that column should be able to tie that knowledge to what is happening with Ground Zero mosque. You would think that the columnist would take what he wrote on his own previous column into account. Well, it just does not work like that with the squealers. You see, Mr. Douthat has to help Mr. Obama and endorse Mr. Obama's characterization of Americans: Xenophobic bigots who don't give a hoot about constitution.

Americans, even the ones who vehemently oppose the building of this mosque, have never painted all muslims as terrorists. The President and his elite media propagandists have no problem painting ordinary Americans who are rightfully concerned about this mosque and its backers as bigots. They do not even want to listen to what we are concerned about. Well, they know very well what we are concerned about. This guy's previous column proves that he witnessed and observed the issues islam creates in a modern society. He even knows what "dhimmitude" is.

So the real question is why? Why didn't Mr. Douthat brought forward what he wrote about islam in europe in his last column about Ground zero mosque?

Does Mr. Douthat prefer "dhimmitude?" Is Mr. Douthat colluding with the islamists? Why can't Mr. Douthat acknowledge that there is a clash of civilization as he did in the previous column? Why is he attacking Americans? Really Mr. Douthat, why are you so opposed to an open discussion about islam and western civilization? Why is it that you are in such a hurry to viciously attack us? We are not the bigots here sir. You are the one who is dishonest. You are the one who is out do a partisan hack job. You consider yourself part of the "first America" and us the second class citizens. We do not need no stinking lecture from you and your president and your muslim friends about our constitution and the freedoms we have. Since when you liberal worms cared about constitution anyways?

This piece of propaganda that sold the idea that the man who has no tangible real life experience is actually much better suited to be our president became relevant today after Obama's strong endorsement of the mosque at Ground Zero. This is the column that contains the following paragraph:

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."

Well, now we have a better understanding of why Barack Hussein Obama hopes that a huge mosque is built at Ground Zero. I am sure he missed hearing "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth." that is the islam's call to prayer. By the way folks, it is not on sunset only. It is five times a day that the muslims are called to prayer in these mosques. It is when the religion police in Saudi Arabia start herding people into the mosques and questioning the ones who are not seemingly heeding attention the call to the prayer.

Mr. Kristof apparently thought Obama's adoration of muslim call to prayer as a great quality. This arrogant and condescending New York Times columnist has no problem painting Americans (although he just picks on state, Alabama, to openly ridicule) as bigots that are scared of other nations, cultures and religions. He finds it refreshing that a presidential candidate had lived abroad, his relatives were muslims. He, as most liberals, would rather see a "Man of the World" not a "Man of The united States of America" as the President of The United States. Well, he got his wish, didn't he? Now we have the first Anti-American President selling our country. Good job Mr. Kristof!

There a few other points about this propaganda piece we definitely need to highlight:

His experience as an antipoverty organizer in Chicago, for example, gives him a deep grasp of a crucial 21st-century challenge — poverty in America — that almost all politicians lack. He says that grass-roots experience helps explain why he favors not only government spending programs, like early childhood education, but also cultural initiatives, like efforts to promote responsible fatherhood.

This is an outright LIE! Thanks to government programs poor is staying poor and there is no such thing as "responsible fatherhood." Liberal democrat government programs are destroying the family. The TRUTH is all liberal democrat government programs and plans are about maintaining people in poverty, keep them under control and dependent. Liberal democrats have one message to people: Abandon all hope. Don't wish or hope for better lives for your children. Be content with the handouts we are giving you and keep voting for us.

Our biggest mistake since World War II has been a lack of sensitivity to other people’s nationalism, from Vietnam to Iraq. Perhaps as a result of his background, Mr. Obama has been unusually sensitive to such issues and to the need to project respect rather than arrogance. He has consistently shown great instincts.

Here is another liberal demand: We have to show sensitivity to other people's nationalism, culture, traditions and religion. This also is the root of the stupid multiculturalism. First, it is insulting. It is only done to prove that these liberal intellectuals are superior than all the small, backward nations and cultures. Second and most importantly, there are nations, cultures, traditions and religions that deserve no respect and need to be dealt with. I guess we should have been a little sensitive to Nazi Germany. We might have hurt their feelings. Folks there are millions of people who are suffering under the oppressive regimes that are run by dictators. Should we show respect to their rulers. Yes, of course, that's what Obama has been doing from day one. There are millions of muslims are oppressed by the sharia law. Obama and liberals who supposedly against the death penalty here are perfectly OK with stoning of adulterers, cutting burglars' hands off, hanging gays. Yes, you little people of muslim religion, we liberal democrats respect your religion and its laws and we a OK with you living under a 7th century system. We liberal democrats have no intention of help you escape the hell you live in. How inspiring!

Also note that these coward liberal worms always demand sensitivity from us. Americans have been asking a little sensitivity from the backers of this mega mosque at Ground Zero. What do they get? They are made fun of. They are called bigots. They are called unenlightened dummies as Mr. Kristof calling Alabama voters in this piece. Don't Americans deserve a little sensitivity here? After all 3000 plus Americans were murdered in premeditated attack that was done in the name of allah the muslim god? Come on people, what is so hard to understand this? 19 muslims hijacked our planes, cut the throats of pilots and flight attendants and slammed these planes into twin towers while chanting "allah is great." They were all hoping their religious matrydom would be rewarded by their allah with 70 virgins. Now, their fellow muslims want to build a mega-mosque / muslim propaganda center and Americans who find this appalling are made to be the bad guys.

Mr. Kristoff should change the title of his column to "Obama: Man of Muslim World."

Reporters wouldn't say Thursday who joined President Obama for an off-the-record lunch at the White House.

The Upshot noted the irony that news organizations have been at the forefront of the fight to make White House visitor logs public. Not to mention the fact that the names of those who visit the White House in August will be made available to the public by November anyway.

But who wants to wait until November? The Upshot has now learned which White House beat reporters attended the off-the-record meeting.

These phony journalists cry for transparency. They want access to White House visitor logs so they can write stories about which corporations have access and influence.

When it comes to reporters having a special off-the-record lunch with the President of The United States, that is off-the-record... Public has no right to know which reporters have better access and special relationship with the White House. Can we presume, as they always do when it comes to other visitors, that the reporters who are invited to this lunch are expected to file reports favorable to White House or lose access? We know of reporters who didn't mind becoming mouthpieces of dictators like Saddam just to keep their access to the regime.

We don’t have the guts to protect our borders or to do a damned thing to those who help keep it porous and indefensible.

Nor do we do a damned thing about police who won’t correctly identify a Middle-Eastern Arab serial killer on the loose because, post-9/11, we must bow down to the Arab street at all cost.

Notice how MSNBC rushes to broadcast that he is an "Israeli."
