The MSM was outraged when Pat Robertson suggested what to do with Hugo Chavez. Why aren't they just as outraged at their own Chris Matthews? "FEINGOLD: Of course now. And it‘s wrong. And you ought to here what Robert Mugabi is saying about us in Zimbabwe right now. If we followed this kind of an idea... MATTHEWS: Well here‘s a guy we ought to knock off. But you just don‘t do it." And Sen. Feingold carried on the discussion! ...............................................................Where's the MSM Outrage? Chris Matthews calls to "knock off" Robert Mugabi of Zimbabwe MSNBC ^ \| 16 Nov 2005 \| Chris Matthews MATTHEWS: Welcome back to HARDBALL. ... Russ Feingold is here with us this evening. Thank you, senator.... MATTHEWS: ....This is the neocon argument. That right, somehow makes might and right and everything, it isn‘t working. FEINGOLD: Of course now. And it‘s wrong. And you ought to here what Robert Mugabi is saying about us in Zimbabwe right now. If we followed this kind of an idea... MATTHEWS: Well here‘s a guy we ought to knock off. But you just don‘t do it. FEINGOLD: But the point is we shouldn‘t be worrying about who we should knock off and who‘s a bad guy and who‘s a good guy. What we should be concerned about is the safety of the American people. What‘s our top priority? Our top priority is stopping the people who attacked us on 9/11. Knocking over Saddam Hussein is a good thing, but it didn‘t relate to that issue. msnbc.msn.com

Robbery suspects may be MS-13 members By Gary Emerling THE WASHINGTON TIMES November 17, 2005 Four men arrested after Montgomery County Police interrupted a robbery at a Wheaton apartment Tuesday night are suspected members of the Salvadoran street gang MS-13, police and county officials said yesterday. "They're four members of MS-13 allegedly involved in criminal conduct who are now behind bars," said Montgomery County state's attorney Douglas F. Gansler. "We are operating under the assumption they are MS-13 members." The suspects -- Victor Ramirez and Jose Domingo Hernandez, both 20 and of no fixed address, Juan Hernandez-Jimenez, 20, of Beltsville, and Jovet Ivarroca, 17, of Gaithersburg -- were arrested when officers went to an apartment in the 2300 block of Blueridge Avenue in Wheaton at about 9 p.m. to serve a carjacking suspect with an arrest warrant. Cpl. Sonia Pruitt, a Montgomery County police spokeswoman, said that the apartment is a known brothel in the area and that the carjacking suspect did not live at the apartment. "It was pretty much unrelated and coincidental that they knocked on the door and there was a crime afoot," Cpl. Pruitt said. Cpl. Pruitt said officers knocked on the apartment door and heard someone tell them to come inside. After entering, police found four victims -- three men, ages 41, 23 and 21, and a 24-year-old woman -- bound and lying on the floor. The woman had been raped, and all of the victims had been robbed, Cpl. Pruitt said. Police charged the suspects with first-degree rape and several counts of armed robbery. Mr. Gansler said three of the suspects -- Mr. Hernandez, Mr. Hernandez-Jimenez and Mr. Ivarroca -- are being held in the Montgomery County Detention Center without bail. Mr. Ramirez, who authorities said might not have been directly involved in the rape, is being held on a $1 million bond. All four of the men have a preliminary hearing set for Dec. 9. It was not clear whether the suspects were illegal aliens. Mr. Gansler said members of MS-13 often are here illegally, but not in every case. "Some are illegal, some are not," he said. "Obviously there's different ramifications under the law. Deportation is certainly something considered if they're illegal." MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, was formed in Los Angeles in 1980 by immigrants from El Salvador. The gang has been most active in the D.C. area and in Northern Virginia, and has a growing presence in Montgomery County. In August, two teens were stabbed at Springbrook High School in Silver Spring and four at a Target store in Wheaton. Twelve persons thought to be members of MS-13, which federal officials have described as an organized crime group, were taken into custody in connection with those attacks. Cpl. Pruitt said police think two of the male victims in Tuesday's robbery -- the 41-year-old from Rockville and the 23-year-old from Aspen Hill -- were customers at the brothel who arrived while the robbery was taking place. It was not clear whether the suspects were customers as well, she said. "We believe that the second two victims were customers," Cpl. Pruitt said. "That's our belief. There's a whole lot to this that is still being checked out and investigated."

College Professor to Student: Real Freedom will come when American Soldiers Murder Superiors Young America’s Foundation. ^ \| Nov 17, 2005 \| Young America’s Foundation. HERNDON, VA –Warren Community College English professor, John Daly, said that “Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors.” Rebecca Beach, a freshman at Warren Community College in Washington, New Jersey, received this unexpected reply to a recent email she sent the faculty at her school announcing the appearance of decorated Iraq war hero, Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, on Thursday, November 17 to discuss America’s accomplishments in Iraq. In the email, Daly told Rebecca that he will ask students in his English and writing classes to boycott the event and also vowed “to expose [her] right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like [Rebecca’s] won’t dare show their face on a college campus.” Daly’s mean spirited and hateful comments were directed at Rebecca for organizing Lt. Col. Scott Rutter and for hanging up fliers contrasting the number of people killed under communism to those liberated under Ronald Reagan. Since Professor John Daly has created a hostile learning environment for Rebecca, she is demanding that Warren Community College President William Austin institute seminars on free speech and sensitivity to teach intolerant leftists, such as Daly, to be respectful of differing opinion Daly’s insane email to Rebecca also claimed that “CAPITALISM has killed many more” people than communism [emphasis his] and that the “poor and working class people” are recruited to “fight and die for EXXON and other corporations.” “John Daly was hired to teach English, not to verbally attack students and lead leftist protests,” said Jason Mattera, spokesman for Young America’s Foundation. The full unedited text of Daly’s email follows. November 13, 2005 Dear Rebecca: I am asking my students to boycott your event. I am also going to ask others to boycott it. Your literature and signs in the entrance lobby look like fascist propaganda and is extremely offensive. Your main poster "Communism killed 100,000,000" is not only untrue, but ignores the fact that CAPITALISM has killed many more and the evidence for that can be seen in the daily news papers. The U.S. government can fly to dominate the people of Iraq in 12 hours, yet it took them five days to assist the people devastated by huricane Katrina. Racism and profits were key to their priorities. Exxon, by the way, made $9 Billion in profits this last quarter--their highest proft margin ever. Thanks to the students of WCCC and other poor and working class people who are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations who earning megaprofits from their imperialist plunders. If you want to count the number of deaths based on political systems, you can begin with the more than a million children who have died in Iraq from U.S.-imposed sanctions and war. Or the million African American people who died from lack of access to healthcare in the US over the last 10 years. I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus. Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again. Prof. John Daly
