Glen Beck And Bill O’Reilly Discuss Violating American Law
May 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Democracy, News, War on Terror, america
I sat riveted in my chair for a good 20 seconds before I realized this was one of the most futile exchanges I’ve seen in a while.

From Andrew and the Dish: Bloggers have had a great time exposing the inconsistency on the pro-torture right. Why should Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab be tortured as an enemy combatant while Richard Reid was prosecuted by civilian authorities under Bush? Isn’t the unconscious truth obvious? One has an English name; the other has a very [...]

What the hell is wrong with full body scanners? If it enables me to fly unencumbered by the threat of assholes with C-4 in their thongs, then I’m all for it. I’ll take a little discomfort for safety any day of the week. Let’s get on with it TSA. Make it happen!

From a reader of The Daily Dish, June 1, 2009: I remember sitting in my bible study shortly after the Sept 11 attacks. The women were discussing the horrible things Islamic terrorists do in the name of their God and their religion. I was too private to let them know my experiences. I ran three [...]
