When was the last time Clinton claimed his legacy as being a tax raiser? He raised taxes in 1993 and took a shellacing in the 1994 elections. Today he takes credit for the accomliskments of the republican congress as his legacies and not those of the democratic congress he started out with. You are a biased brain dead liberal, aren't you?

Hamas-linked CAIR Texas leader: "If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land" The mask slips. "'We are above the law of the land,'" by John Griffing in WND, March 3 (thanks to Pamela Geller): A leader for the Texas branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations has told a crowd at a rally for Islam that members of the faith really shouldn’t be bound by American law. “If we are practicing Muslims, we are above the law of the land,” said Mustafa Carroll, the executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth CAIR branch, a keynote speaker as the recent rally. The event was a rally in Austin, a part of the nationwide effort to hold “Muslim Capitol Day” events. CAIR itself has been under investigation for its documented ties to terrorist organizations in the past. Some details revealed by Daniel Pipes are that: CAIR funded the Holy Land Foundation, which was used to funnel money to Hamas. President Bush shut down Holy Land Foundation, which CAIR called “unjust” and “disturbing.”CAIR denied Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, even though Bin Laden said so on camera.CAIR demanded removal of a billboard in Los Angeles in 1998 that described Osama bin Laden as “the sworn enemy,” saying that this description was “offensive to Muslims.” [Osama had by this point released his Declaration of War on the United States.]CAIR called the conviction of the 1993 WTC bombers “a travesty of justice.”CAIR called the conviction of Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who planned to blow up New York City landmarks, a “hate crime.”CAIR labeled the extradition order for suspected Hamas terrorist Mousa Abu Marook “anti-Islamic” and “anti-American.”

National Journal’s Ron Fournier Asks Why Obama Doesn’t Just Murder John Boehner

**UPDATE** Earlier version of blog incorrectly stated that Ron Fournier had deleted tweets in question when in fact they are still on his account.

It appears as though the days of civility and integrity in journalism are long gone. On March 1, National Journal’s Ron Fournier, formerly the Washington bureau chief at the Associated Press, took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with government sequestration, suggesting that President Obama:

Can handle Bin laden, not Boehner? He may be POTUS, but Obama incapable of “a Jedi mind meld.”

Fournier continued his violent rhetoric in a follow-up tweet, suggesting that, “Bin Laden didn’t compromise. Handled him pretty well.”

The tweets, which have not been deleted, were discovered by the website Gawker.

Fournier apparently is upset at the inaction by President Obama over the sequester, and suggests that killing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) might be the best solution. To suggest that the Speaker of the House should be eliminated in the same manner as the world’s worst terrorist shows a new low for a supposedly objective journalist.

Rather than apologize or issue a retraction for his offensive commentary, the tweets remain on Fournier's account. As someone who formerly represented the Associated Press as its Washington bureau chief, one would think Fournier would have both the decency and the professional dignity to refrain from such horrendous commentary.

It remains to be seen if the National Journal will take appropriate disciplinary action.
