I love how an amazing story can be re-told as "cutting SCOTUS." What a joke.

Given that I have $250,000 in debt and no job, I would much rather insult a Fedaykin's religion as a religion manufactured by the Bene Gesserit's Missionaria Protectiva and get stabbed with a crysknife by fanatics rather than work as an IP associate in Morgan & Finnegan.

Father of 24-year-old military recruiter KILLED in Arkansas by a MUSLIM speaks out. Obama remains silent; too busy releasing statements of support for slain abortionist.

Agreed #1.

I get that Kash is trying to be (so very mildly) funny, but, in this instance, she seems to be channeling MysTTTal's lazy behind.

Btw, what happened to MysTTTal's day starts at 8/8.30?

5: Thanks for this. Perhaps the worst thing about this is that I don't think I would have heard about this tragic story if it was not for your comments on ATL. Shockingly (yeah, right), this didn't make the NYT.

9, it happened the day after the abortionist's murder. Remember, as soon as that happened, Obama's AG promised to give better protection to abortion clinics. And Obama said, "I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr George Tiller." Obama also said, "However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence."

But when TWO young military guys are shot by a muslim in a terroristic act, the Commander in Chief has absolutely NOTHING to say. No promise from the AG to defend the recruitment centers. And Obama isn't "shocked or outraged." He's cool with it.

AND, if you want details of all the LEFT-WING TERRORISM against recruitment centers over the past 8 years that has gone unreported by the liberal media, check out this link. It includes pictures for the braindead libs who actually click the link:

Posted here because article did not accept post.

Perhaps Elie should focus on his own esteemed?!? HLS before casting stones.

http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=507566 (hate crimes rally at Harvard..."Hate crimes 'are not necessarily only caused by non-Harvard students,' the student said. 'I felt really marginalized.'")

http://books.google.com/books?id=1BsO2_C6HZwC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=harvard+law+racist&source=bl&ots=X0fjqc6b1c&sig=ef6_4r8WGQmtQsGd2brSrXlWIts&hl=en&ei=H4wmSvPZEqCi8QTcytyBDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1 (Harvard Law walkout over racism)

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/racist-writing-at-16-may-cost-teaching-job/27476/ (Racist writing of HLS student may cost professorship)

These links are not posted to cast aspersions on HLS, but rather to show that a quick Google search will reveal hate crime and bigotry at most any place. I don't believe HLS is any more or less racists/hate crime filled than other places. Drudging up 2 year old articles to dengrate the repuation of an entire state's school system is irresponsible journalism at best.

11, you're half-right. It appeared are nytimes.com, but not in the actual newspaper.

However, the print edition of the Times, and the WashPost have devoted pages to the abortionist's murder. And editorials, and more articles, and more editorials.

The left, like Obama, is cool with murdered soldiers. Especially if the perp is a moslem.
