Rooting for Obama

Brooks: ‘The Idea That We Shouldn’t Be Rooting’ For Obama Is ‘Just Stupid’

Last February, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) broke with Rush Limbaugh — de facto leader of the Republican Party — and said that he wants President Obama to succeed. “We absolutely…want our president to succeed,” he said. However just last week, Jindal became the latest to join the Boss’s ranks. Discussing whether he personally wants Obama to fail, Jindal simply said, “it depends.”

Today on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal, conservative columnist David Brooks ridiculed those on the right who have said they want Obama to fail. During the segment, a caller — who claimed to be phoning in from “a club” in Georgia full of “all white folks, all millionaires and good Republicans” — begged Brooks to “come on board” with Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Fox News to “get on Mr. Obama’s case.” “We got to bring that man down,” the caller said, adding, “We just cannot have eight years of this black man.”

Tony Perkins and Family Research Council

Tony Perkins

 

NOTE: This person or group fits the recently issued Department of Homeland Security’s definition of “right wing extremist”, found at http://www.chasingevil.org/2009/04/dhs-defines-right-wing-extremism.html , such individuals and groups are classified by DHS as dangerous to the security of the USA.

 

 

Anthony Richard "Tony" Perkins (born March 20, 1963) is an American political activist. Perkins is president of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian think-tank and public policy foundation.

Perkins has urged Congress to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment which would ban same-sex marriage throughout the United States. He has also criticized civil unions. ^[2] In Perkins' own words, from a July 21, 2006, column in the publication Human Events:

"The definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman is rooted in the order of nature itself. It promotes the continuation of the human race and the cooperation of a mother and a father in raising the children they produce.

"This union can only be protected through amending the U.S. Constitution. If it's not, activists will continue using the courts to sell a five-legged dog. But as we say where I'm from in Louisiana, 'that dog won't hunt.'" Perkins is generally considered as a severe homophobe. Mailings from Perkins contain deliberate disinformation and distortions claiming that various legislation and court decisions about same-sex unions or civil rights for homosexuals mean “the end of America as we know it.”  Perkins usual strategy is known as “the sky is falling”, in his attempt to stoke fear and anger in Americans.  This is a form of racism.

 

Advocates for violence against gays

http://www.truthwinsout.org/blog/petition-exposes-family-research-councils-support-for-antigay-violence/

Felony violence against gay people should be a protected form of expression if it is committed by pastors, according to the text of a fund-raising e-mail dated Friday from the Family Research Council. In the message, FRC President Tony Perkins; who in 1996 paid Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list

 

Connection to White Supremacists

In 2001, Perkins addressed the Council of Conservative Citizens (successor organization to the anti-integration White Citizens Council) - a known racist group with an agenda of white supremacy.  Perkins refuses to answer questions about his affiliation with this  White Supremacist organization. More on CCC at http://www.adl.org/learn/ext_us/CCCitizens.asp?xpicked=3&item=12

Additionally, The Nation claims that in 1996, Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,000 for use of his mailing list. At the time, Perkins was campaign manager for Louis E. "Woody" Jenkins, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Louisiana. The Federal Election Commission fined the Jenkins campaign $3,000 for attempting to hide the money paid to Duke.^[4] The Family Research Council says Blumenthal's claims about Perkins' connection to David Duke are false; FRC adds that Duke's "connection was not known to Mr. Perkins until 1999. Mr. Perkins claims to oppose the racial views of Mr. Duke and expresses grief to learn that Duke was a party to the company that had done work for the 1996 campaign."^[5]

Of course, if Perkins had been unaware of Duke’s connection to this list, then why did they try to hide the money paid to David Duke?

 

FRC Positions

 

Some of FRC’s positions - from their website - and their irrationality. FRC claim first, then refutation in parenthesis:

 

Favors strong military action against "radical Islam".  (Perkins advocates going to war with and “nuking” Islamic countries – even those that are our allies - that do not harbor terrorists and that have not attacked us, they just hold opinions that he sees as “radical.”) 

Opposes the idea that humans are responsible for global warming.^[10]

^{( See 224 footnotes from every major scientific organization worldwide proving global warming.)}

Supports an increase in abstinence-only sex education. (see report on the failure of abstinence only sex ed.) 

Opposes the vaccination of children for human papilloma virus (HPV), a virus that causes cervical cancer, and adamantly opposes promoting the vaccine is an effort to make it mandatory for school attendance.  (See “The Quack Files”)

Opposes research which involves the destruction of human embryos. Rather, it advocates research using adult stem cells to treat a host of diseases/disorders. Why? Because adult stem cell therapies are the only ones with documented success.  (However, research does indeed show success in using embryonic stem cells.) 

Opposes any protection of or benefits to same-sex couples. Opposes the Bill of Rights’ guarantee of Equal Protection.  (specific refutation not needed, only common sense.)

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center has identified Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council as extremists. 

http://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?pid=871

Family Research Council WASHINGTON, D.C. www.frc.org In 1988, James Dobson's Focus on the Family mega-ministry merged with the Family Research Council (FRC), a tiny Washington think tank headed by Gary Bauer, a former Department of Education official. With Focus' millions behind it, FRC's profile shot up as Bauer brought Dobson's anti-gay, anti-abortion and anti-sex education messages to leaders on Capitol Hill. When FRC's lobbying threatened Focus' tax-exempt status in 1992, the groups severed their legal ties. But by then, FRC had become a powerful group in its own right. During the gays-in-the-military debate of 1993, Bauer wrote an influential op-ed alleging that gay people's "notion of 'civil rights' would mean a jackboot on the back of the 99 percent of society that still follows the norms of nature." Robert Knight, FRC's chief anti-gay researcher during the 1990s (see also Concerned Women for America), claimed that the gay rights movement's main goal was "going after the kids." Drawing liberally on the discredited research of Paul Cameron (see Family Research Institute), Knight published papers claiming, among other things, that gay people view "pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order." FRC also cited Cameron's bogus claim that children in gay households are at greater risk of sexual involvement with a parent. In a legal brief, it even warned that schools offering diversity education could be sued for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The FRC led boycotts and protests when major corporations began to give domestic-partner benefits; in 1997, Knight lambasted American Airlines for its "immoral" benefits program, asking, "What are you going to develop next? A pedophilia market?" Former Louisiana legislator Tony Perkins, a "family values" crusader who had given a speech to the white-supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens on May 19, 2001, took over the FRC's leadership in 2003. By then, the FRC was well established in Washington, with board members like Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, an OB/GYN who in his 2004 campaign falsely claimed that guards had to be posted inside some public school restrooms to protect girls from lesbian sex attacks. The FRC's current senior fellow for cultural studies, Timothy Dailey, has taken over Knight's role as FRC's main anti-gay propagandist, comparing gays to "abnormal cells," co-authoring Getting It Straight, a "statistical" compendium of the "evils" of homosexuality, and penning Dark Obsession: The Tragedy and Threat of the Homosexual Lifestyle, yet another lurid FRC publication.

Pam Geller Goes Full Frontal Nazi

We've seen Pam Geller as a Holocaust denier, a white supremacist, and defender of neo-Nazis, now it appears she's gone completely over to the Nazi movement and is going to be very open about it. 

Update: The Nazi sponsoring group for the upcoming meeting has confirmed that Robert Spencer will also attend this Nazi rally in Germany. See http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.pro-koeln-online.de/&ei=OHXySYbBA6S0Ne_jpbwP&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DPro-K%25C3%25B6ln%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMD_enUS320US320

http://pibillwarner.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/pamela-geller-of-atlas-shrugs-blog-poster-girl-for-eurofascists-post-by-little-green-footballs/

 

h/t Bill Warner & LGF

 

Pamela Geller of “Atlas Shrugs” and Paul Belien of “Brussels Journal” have been announced as speakers at a German far right event organized by a group called “Pro Köln” — a successor to the notorious fascist group “Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat” (the “German League for People and Homeland”).

 

The “Pro Köln” group is under observation by the German inland secret service.

According to the website pi-news.net, Robert Spencer has also been invited: Translated version of “Israel Friends in the anti-Islamisierungskongress”.

One of the main organizers of “Pro Köln” is Manfred Rouhs. Here are two photos of Rous with hardcore neo-Nazi activist Axel Reitz, who the local media call “the Hitler of Cologne.”

Christian Worch (born 1956) is one of the most important figures of the German neo-Nazi scene.

In 1974 Worch started a militant group called the Hansabande in Hamburg, along with Michael Kühnen. The group defaced Jewish cemeteries, assaulted leftists and foreigners[1], and denied the Holocaust. Worch took part in one especially well-known campaign under the motto “I am an ass to believe that Jews were gassed in Germany” (Ich Esel glaube, daß in Deutschland Juden vergast worden sind). The group gradually became the Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten (ANS, Action Front of National Socialists) in 1977. Worch and Kühnen were also close to the now-banned Wiking-Jugend (Viking Youth).

Kühnen was arrested in 1979 and Worch took over leadership of the ANS. In 1980 he was convicted to a three-year prison sentence, despite being defended by Jürgen Rieger during his trial. In 1983, the organization now known as the ANS/NA (Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten/Nationale Aktivisten, Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists) was banned, so Worch joined the Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (FAP, Free German Workers’ Party) and became vice-chairman. As the Nationale Liste (National List) was founded in 1989, he became active in its executive committee. He edited its magazine, Index, until September 1991 and was especially active in Anti-Antifa work. In this campaign, lists of names and addresses of left-wing and anti-fascist activists and organizations were published; this led to attacks on some of the people listed. Worch was one of the main initiators of the campaign.

 

 

Faith Freedom International

Note that Ali Sina and the other writers at Faith Freedom International qualify as right wing extremists under the recent DHS definition of such.  

 

Faith Freedom International (FFI) at faithfreedom.org, (NOT to be confused with faithfreedom.com) is an Internet website that is critical of Islam.^[1][2] FFI identifies itself as "a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat". According to the website, FFI was founded by an Iranian ex-non practicing Muslim residing in Canada, going by the pseudonym of "Ali Sina."  Use of a pseudonym usually indicates the author is ashamed of what he writes and doesn’t want his family, friends and neighbors to know of the filth or pornography that he publishes.  

Ali Sina claims "The idea that Islam can be reformed is a fallacy," he scoffs. "It's like saying we can reform Nazism and it will be a wonderful party."^[3]. On the website, Ali Sina has issued a standing challenge that he will remove the FFI website if proven wrong on a number of issues.  Ali Sina has been debated and FFI proven wrong by a number of Muslim scholars, but Ali Sina has reneged on his promise every time. 

In September 2006, Faith Freedom International launched^[13] WikiIslam, a community-edited wiki collecting negative and critical material about Islam.^[14]  According to the FAQ section on the website, "the main difference between WikiIslam and Wikipedia is that opinions critical of Islam are not censored on WikiIslam for political correctness."^[14] Due to the racist nature of the website, it has been subject to vandalism, due to which increased security measures have been employed.^[14]

WikiIslam is the subject of an article in the 7/2007 issue of the journal Contemporary Islam, entitled "Cyber-Islamophobia? The case of WikiIslam",^[14] which argues that the website commits selection bias by collecting only negative or critical material.^[14][15] The article states that "In relation to the criteria set up by the Runnymede Trust ... it should be quite easy to label most of the material published on WikiIslam as expressions of Islamophobia." Göran Larsson adds that "[m]y impression is that the stories reported by WikiIslam have merely been selected to show that Muslims are ignorant, backward or even stupid."^[14][16] 

According to an article on the Jerusalem Post, Ali Sina claims to "guard his identity closely because of the death threats" he receives.^[17]. When asked to present evidence of any death threats, Ali Sina refused to do so. 

 

Hypocrisy 

The FFI site states “We oppose Islam, not Muslims” which is illogical in that since Muslims are the only adherents of Islam, those who oppose Islam must, by definition, oppose Muslims.  The website also states that “We oppose hate, not faith”, when in fact Islam is one of the world’s major faiths, and since FFI says they “oppose Islam” they must, by their own admission, also oppose faith.  It is worth noting that the site is run by secularists, atheists, agnostics and former Muslims (although oddly enough the site insists that Islam requires all former Muslims to be killed, they’re still alive and busy writing their anti-Islamic, anti-Muslim slurs.) 

 

Ali Sina Addresses Mainstream Muslims: 

“Islam is disease. What does moderate Muslim mean anyway? Does it mean you are moderately diseased? This makes as much sense as saying, I am a moderate Nazi, or I am culturally a fascist. I only participate in their rallies. Let us call you by your name. You are a hypocrite. You are a useful idiot. You are part of the problem. In fact you are THE problem. If it were not for you, we would easily recognize our enemy and eliminating it would be easy. But you shield the enemy. You muddy the waters. You confuse us to hide the beast among you. You do not fool me, even though you may fool the non-Muslims. I know your hypocrisy. I know how you hide and support the terrorists secretly but publicly you denounce him and portray yourself as our friend.”

Coulter Falls for Hoax

Coulter Falls For Fake Obama NASCAR Story That Limbaugh Said No One Would Believe

As an April Fool’s joke, Car and Driver magazine posted a made-up story on its website claiming that “President Obama had ordered Chevrolet and Dodge out of NASCAR after the 2009 season.” The magazine “pulled the fake story” after it “turned into a sizzling Internet topic,” especially on anti-Obama right-wing websites.

As Media Matters notes, one person who took the joking claim seriously was Ann Coulter. In her Human Events column yesterday, Coulter wrote:

If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an “unnecessary expenditure,” isn’t having public schools force students to follow Muslim rituals, recite Islamic prayers and plan “jihads” also an “unnecessary expenditure”? Are all those school condom purchases considered “necessary expenditures”?

Coulter’s gullibility is especially funny considering that on his radio show yesterday, right-wing icon Rush Limbaugh mocked those who would fall for Car and Driver’s April Fool’s Day joke:

Right Wing Espionage Charges

Steven J. Rosen, Keith Weissman, Lawrence Franklin, AIPAC

 

Steve Rosen, far right wing author at Daniel Pipes’ Middle East Forum site, is set to begin trial for espionage in June. 

Rosen himself has already been indicted by the Department of Justice in an espionage scandal over the transfer of classified information to outside parties involving a colleague at AIPAC, a former official in Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon, and an official at the Israeli embassy. His blog, Obama Mideast Monitor, is hosted by the Middle East Forum website run by Daniel Pipes, a hard-core, pro-Israeli rightist, whose Middle East Quarterly is, in turn, edited by Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute. 

On November 3, 2008, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that Rosen is now working for the Middle East Forum (MEF), a pro-Israel think tank directed by neoconservative scholar Daniel Pipes. Rosen is writing a blog hosted on the MEF website, devoted to Obama Administration personnel and policy: http://www.meforum.org/blog/obama-mideast-monitor/archive.php In November 2008, Rosen published "Did Iran Offer a 'Grand Bargain' in 2003?,"[1] and gave a presentation for MEF entitled "Wishful Thinking and Iran."[2]

On March 2, 2009 Steven Rosen sued AIPAC for slander and libel, asserting in a 36 page complaint that AIPAC's board of directors were not only aware that he was soliciting and circulating classified information, but rewarded and promoted him for it. The AIPAC board of directors and outside public relations firm have been subpoenaed to join Rosen in the DC Superior Court in June of 2009. The Rosen filing is available at the Israel Lobby Archive. 

Rosen’s career took a dramatic turn on August 27, 2004, when CBS News broadcast a report alleging that “A spy is working for Israel at the Pentagon… The suspected mole supplied Israel with classified materials…passing classified information…to two men at AIPAC, and on to the Israelis...[including] a presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran.” On screen, CBS showed an image of a document titled “Presidential Directive: U.S. Policy Toward Iran,” and a file folder marked “classified” being passed from a man labeled “suspected spy” to a box marked with the AIPAC logo, and from there to Israel symbolized by its flag. The same day, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, accompanied by media camera crews, raided the AIPAC offices with a warrant to inspect the paper and electronic files of Steven Rosen.

The CBS report and the FBI raid were followed by a period of intense worldwide media attention to the allegation that AIPAC was enmeshed in an espionage scandal of major proportions. Critics of AIPAC and Israel saw validation for their thesis that pro-Israel advocacy is inimical to the American national interest, and for their belief that many Jews are more loyal to Israel than America.

Lawrence Franklin, the Pentagon official in the case, was indicted on May 26, 2005, and Rosen and Weissman were indicted on August 4, 2005.

The prosecution was brought under the Espionage Act (18 USC 793), a statute that has been on the books since 1917. The specific provisions under which Rosen and Weissman were indicted--sections (d) and (e)--were added to the statute in 1950.

 

The indictment of Rosen and Weissman, filed in Alexandria, Virginia on August 4, 2005, alleges that:

“Between in or about April 1999 and continuing until on or about August 27, 2004, in the Eastern District of Virginia and elsewhere, defendants Lawrence Anthony Franklin, Steven J. Rosen, and Keith Weissman did unlawfully, knowingly and willfully conspire, confederate and agree together and with others, known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to commit the following offenses against the United States:

1) having lawful possession of, access to, and control over information relating to the national defense, did willfully communicate, deliver and transmit that information directly and indirectly to a person or persons not entitled to receive it, having reason to believe that said information could be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage of any foreign nation, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 793(d); and

2) having unauthorized possession of, access to, and control over information relating to the national defense, did willfully communicate, deliver and transmit that information directly and indirectly to a person or persons not entitled to receive it, having reason to believe that said information could be used to the injury of the United States and to the advantage of any foreign nation, a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 793(e).

1.      It was part of the conspiracy that, in an effort to influence persons within and outside the United States government, Rosen and Weissman would cultivate relationships with Franklin and others and would use their contacts within the U.S. government and elsewhere to gather sensitive U.S. government information, including classified information relating to the national defense, for subsequent unlawful communication, delivery and transmission to persons not entitled to receive it.

1.      It was further part of the conspiracy that Franklin would use his position as a desk officer in the Office of the Secretary of Defense to gather information relating to the national defense, for subsequent unlawful communication, delivery and transmission to Rosen and Weissman and others not entitled to receive it.

1.      It was further part of the conspiracy that Franklin, Rosen and Weissman would meet at locations in the Eastern District of Virginia and elsewhere, to exchange information, including classified information relating to the national defense.

1.      It was further part of the conspiracy that Franklin would unlawfully deliver, communicate and transmit classified national defense information in an effort to advance his own personal foreign policy agenda and influence persons within and outside the United States government.

1.      It was further part of the conspiracy that Rosen and Weissman, without lawful authority, would communicate to persons not entitled to receive it, classified information relating to the national defense.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Weissman

The Lawrence Franklin espionage scandal (also known as the AIPAC espionage scandal) refers to allegations that information regarding United States policy towards Iran was passed to Israel through Lawrence Franklin via staffers of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Franklin, a former United States Department of Defense employee, pled guilty to several espionage-related charges and was sentenced in January 2006 to nearly 13 years of prison. Two former AIPAC employees have also been indicted.

The investigation and prosecutions, which began in 1999, have attracted attention because critics of U.S. Israeli policy have claimed AIPAC has served as a conduit for Israel's spying efforts with near impunity due to its powerful connections in Washington. Franklin's indictment mentioned but did not name several foreign diplomats, widely believed to be Israeli, as being involved with his efforts.

Reaction to Iowa Gay Marriage Ruling

King: Allowing Gay Marriage Will Make Iowa The ‘Gay Marriage Mecca’

[…] the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously struck down a state law defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman. The Court ruled that the state legislature had improperly “excluded a historically disfavored class of persons from a supremely important civil institution without a constitutionally sufficient justification,” and stated unequivocally that gay marriage bans “denies gay and lesbian people the equal protection of the law.”

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) reacted with fury to the Court’s decision, calling the ruling “unconstitutional” and denigrating the “activist judges” who decided it. He called for an constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, and pressed for immediate action to prevent Iowa from becoming a “Mecca” for gay couples:

Now it is the Iowa legislature’s responsibility to pass the Marriage Amendment to the Iowa Constitution, clarifying that marriage is between one man and one woman, to give the power that the Supreme Court has arrogated to itself back to the people of Iowa. Along with a constitutional amendment, the legislature must also enact marriage license residency requirements so that Iowa does not become the gay marriage Mecca due to the Supreme Court’s latest experiment in social engineering.

King is so upset that he’s using rhetoric that combines what may be his two worst fears: gay people and Muslims. A sample of King’s long record of bigotry:

DHS Defines Right Wing Extremism

From the recent DHS report titled: Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment  found at www.fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf .

 

The Dept of Homeland Security has defined Right Wing Extremist as follows: 

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

Based on this definition, the following can be defined as right wing extremists (this listing is not meant to be all inclusive, I'd be writing forever!)

David Horowitz

Glen Reinsford

Pamela Geller

Ali Sina

Tony Perkins
