All the evidence you need in laid out in the posts with additional evidence made available in the supporting links within each of the posts. All you have to do is click & read. When you're done, be a man & admit you were quite wrong. And that list is but the tip of the treacherous iceberg. I'd be ashamed to be a dyed in the wool lib these days. In fact, if I were, I'd be speaking out loudly against their relentless treachery.

Liberal hypocrisy--there is really nothing quite like it! Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh Power Line I never would have seen this, but my wife pointed it out. A site called "Blogcritics" ripped us for a Blogad on this site that advertises Iraqi dinars. The post was titled: "Power Line Hawks Dubious Iraq Dinar Investment": <<< Surf on over to Power Line and you'll see an interesting business opportunity tucked in among the sidebar blogads. BetonIraq.com offers the savvy investor a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) at rock-bottom prices and invest in the future of a free and democratic Iraq at the same time. >>> After denouncing dinars as an investment opportunity, the author concludes: <<< So the question remains, what are John Hinderaker and Co. doing pimping a currency scam on their website? I'm aware that blogads are automated to a degree, but the gentlemen at Power Line are ultimately responsible for what they're hawking. The fact that this investment "deal" is clearly designed to take advantage of the kind of "patriotic" Americans who read Power Line only makes it worse. They say a fool and his money are soon parted. I guess they're counting on the fact that a lot of fools read Power Line. >>> A typically pleasant liberal blogger. But, hey, you really couldn't make this stuff up. What do you suppose are the first two ads that appear on the page where Blogcritics denounces us for the dinar Blogad? Click the screen shot to enlarge: powerlineblog.com Yup, that's right: <<< New Iraqi Dinars Dealer Specialists-Registered MSB. Secure Online Credit Card Payments! Dinars in Stock - Buy Now First Class Service Next day COD delivery >>> Liberal hypocrisy--there is really nothing quite like it! As we've said before, we do not censor Blogads based on content. We accept any ad that is not offensive on its face. Once, we even accepted an ad by the Democratic National Committee. We do not endorse the products or services that advertise on our site. I have no idea whether Iraqi dinars are a good investment or not, and I personally wouldn't dream of engaging in currency speculation. But those who trade in currency have a right to advertise like everyone else, and our readers, like everyone else--even the readers of sites like Blogcritics--have every right to make up their own minds about investments. powerlineblog.com

A small-tent circus Power Line The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may not be the CIA, but that doesn't mean that its leftist career employees can't flex their muscle in ways that embarrass (or should embarrass) the administration. Roger Clegg, the head of the Center for Equal Opportunity, reports that EEOC Chair Cari Dominguez (a Republican appointee) "disinvited" him to a testify before the Commission about affirmative action and diversity in the workplace. Clegg is a leading spokesman against preferential treatment by employers for members of minority groups. His position has the support of the American people and the occasional half-hearted support of the president. It is also written into the civil rights laws that the EEOC is supposed to enforce. Nonetheless, Dominguez was forced to revoke her invitation to Clegg on the grounds that his views are so offensive to career employees that merely stating them would create a circus atmosphere and even provoke a mutiny. Dominguez also told Clegg that she did not want the EEOC "to look like the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights back when Mary Frances Berry headed it." The appalling Berry tried to use the Civil Rights Commission to promote her socialist agenda, and was none too tolerant of those who stood in her way. Ironically, though, Clegg says that Berry allowed him to testify before her Commission. Sometimes being a wimp can be worst than being a dogmatic leftist. The full text of the testimony Clegg would have provided can be found here. ceousa.org

Well gee Jonah, they're unhinged libs with BDS. What else did you expect? Shameless Bastards Jonah Goldberg The Corner I'm sorry, but this really makes me furious. Retuters, after five years and Osama Bin Laden's videotaped admission, still uses locutions like this to decribe the 9/11 attacks: <<< U.S. authorities have said five al Qaeda hijackers seized control of American Airlines Flight 77, a flight from Washington Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia bound for Los Angeles, and flew it into the Pentagon. >>> "Have said"? If this is still in doubt, Reuters should have a team of reporters working around the clock to nail down the story. If it was a different news organization, I might give them the benefit of the doubt and leave room for the possibility they were just crediting the number of hijackers to the US government's version or some such. But, this is Reuters, and you know they're saying something very different. corner.nationalreview.com today.reuters.com
