Video: Minuteman says Columbia filth yelled N-word at him

I’m skeptical. The only news report I can find to corroborate it is Jerome Corsi’s in WND, and Corsi just co-wrote a book with Jim Gilchrist.
Stewart also claims he was told that the Arabic on the protesters’ banner was a statement of Holocaust denial. In fact, according to the New York Sun, it said, “Nobody is illegal.”
On the other hand, would you put it past them? ...
Preaching Intolerance Leads to Capitalism!
Guess what? All that bending over backwards to be diverse and inclusive is now biting us in the posterior. In Minnesota, cab drivers are refusing to carry customers who have alcohol because it violates Muslim beliefs. Not such a big deal, you think? Considering 3/4s of the Cab drivers are Muslim, and now as much as 3 times daily people are refused service, its a serious issue. Its also an incredible opportunity for those entrepreneurial types. ...
WaPo: Hastert’s chief of staff was warned earlier about Foley
Hastert’s been claiming that the first his staff knew about Foley’s “predilections” was last November, when Rodney Alexander notified him about the “send me a picture of you” e-mail that one of his pages received from Foley. Kirk Fordham, who resigned a few days ago as Tom Reynolds’s chief of staff, insists that’s not true, that in fact Hastert’s powerful chief of staff, Scott Palmer, was told about Foley as early as 2003.
Now an anonymous congressional staff member has corroborated Fordham’s story, telling WaPo that Palmer actually confronted Foley about his little problem at some unspecified time before November 2005. And ultimately took no action to stop him.

xxxx GOP prods Democrats over Foley scandal
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Faced with fending off the backlash from the Mark Foley scandal, House Republicans took the offensive Friday, asking Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats to testify about whether they engaged in partisan trickery by releasing Foley's messages weeks before the midterm elections.
Top GOP leaders -- including House Speaker Dennis Hastert, of Illinois, and Majority Leader John Boehner, of Ohio -- have accused the Democrats of knowing about Foley's correspondences with teen pages, and waiting to release them until it was politically advantageous.
Are you ready for Cartoon Jihad 2?
Right now, somewhere in Gaza, someone’s placing an order for 50,000 Danish flags and three cases of matchbooks: Danish state TV on Friday aired amateur video footage showing young members of the anti-immigrant Danish Peoples’ party engaged in a competition to draw humiliating cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad…
The images, filmed by artist Martin Rosengaard Knudsen who posed as a member of the party for several months to document attitudes among young members, show a number of young people drinking, singing and drawing cartoons ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad. ...
Time magazine: Castro has terminal cancer?
Look what just showed up on Google News:
When you follow the link, you get a 404. What happened? Did Time publish, then pull the story back because of some last-minute development?
Or did they publish accidentally, having meant to save a scoop this big for Sunday?
Alas for them: Allah sees all.
We’ll just have to wait.
Oh — there is just one more thing. My RSS reader picked this story up, too. And the precis there contained a detail you won’t find in the Google News teaser: ...
