Muslim anti-Semitism is only decades old, Obama claims ........................................................................................... 01/21/2014 Neil Munro dailycaller.com · Experts are scoffing at President Barack Obama’s apparent belief that widespread Muslim hatred of Jews is only decades old. “Obama reveals that he has no idea, or doesn’t want to give the impression that he has any idea, about the reality of Islamic anti-Semitism,” said Robert Spencer, the author of many books on Islamic ideas and director of Jihad Watch. Anti-Semitism is hard-wired into Islam, from its origins In an interview with The New Yorker magazine, Obama described the Muslim hatred of Israel as byproduct of recent fights, not as a consequence of Islam’s doctrinal objection to any Jewish government. Of course Obama’s “course of decades” comment “ignores the numerous anti-Semitic teachings of the Quran.

AWFUL! Rev. Jeremiah Wright at MLK Breakfast: Tea Party Is “2.0 Upgrade of Lynch Mobs” (Video) .................................................................................................................................... Gateway Pundit ^ \| January 21, 2014 \| Jim Hoft Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, gave a speech to a largely black crowd in Delaware on MLK Day. The vile Chicago pastor said the Tea Party is “a 2.0 upgrade of the lynch mobs.” Reverend Wright spewed his toxic nonsense in Delaware yesterday at the 30th Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Annual Breakfast in Wilmington, Delaware. Rather than rejecting his hate speech the crowd gave him a standing ovation.: (VIDEO-AT-LINK) The crowd loved it and gave him a standing ovation. Delaware Online reported, via The Last Tradition: The controversial Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright told a crowd celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday at the Riverfront that there is more to do in the civil rights fight. “Tell your children we have some unfinished business on the agenda with the voting rights bill gutted by a right-wing dominated Supreme Court … with mass incarceration robbing black and brown communities of any positive future … with jobs being shipped overseas … with one branch of the tea party being nothing but a 2.0 upgrade of the lynch mobs … with some folks doing everything they can to get that black man out of their White House.” Many in the largely black crowd of more than 400 people gave Wright a standing ovation and dozens swarmed him afterward to take pictures and get him to sign their programs.

Climate scientist Judith Curry challenges Mann on calling her "anti-science" b/o her truthful Senate testimony: Climate alarmist and Hockeystick inventor gets in hot water after more hot airMichael Mann called a fellow scientist, but climate sceptic, "anti-Science" after her Congressional Testimony, but the tables have been turned on him in spectacular fashionby Climate Realist on 21 January 2014 17:53 If anyone out there thought that scientists were a bunch of genteel, Queensbury rules respecting gentlemen-types they've obviously never seen climate alarmists and climate sceptics going at each other like their lives depended on it. That's not to draw a parallel and to declare each side as guilty as the other. The "consensus" scientists are almost always the ones playing the dirty tricks and calling the names. But when the other side fights back, it's not just instructive about the state of the "consensus" itself, it's downright entertaining. Bring on Fred Singer, professor emeritus at the University of Virginia and director of the Science & Environmental Policy Project writing in the American Thinker. He's got it in for Michael Mann -- or "Hide the decline" Mike, as he calls him -- director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University, inventor of the so called "Hockeystick" and one of the most famous climate alarmists in the world. What has got Singer all riled up is a recent piece written by Mann in the New York Times where he starts playing the victim about all the grief he's got for the fact his theories have all turned out to be wrong, and an accusation he made against a fellow scientist's testimony last week to Congress. Let the fun begin. Before he gets going himself, Singer brings in Ross McKitrick, a well known scientist who long ago trashed the whole Hockeystick nonsense for what it was. Responding to Mann's New York Times op-ed, which was entitled "If you see something, say something.", McKitrick retorted: "OK, I see a second-rate scientist carrying on like a jackass and making a public nuisance of himself." Singer plainly thinks this is far too tame: "OK, I want to say something too," he says. "I see an ideologue, desperately trying to support a hypothesis that's been falsified by observations. While the majority of climate alarmists are trying to discover a physical reason that might just save the AGW hypothesis, Mann simply ignores the 'inconvenient truth' that the global climate has not warmed significantly for at least the past 15 years -- while emissions of greenhouse gases have surged globally." According to Singer, Mann had launched an attack on "the Senate testimony (Jan 16, 2014) of fiercely independent climate scientist and blogger, Georgia Tech professor Judith Curry." She was none too impressed. And responded as follows: "Since you have publicly accused my Congressional testimony of being 'anti-science,' I expect you to (publicly) document and rebut any statement in my testimony that is factually inaccurate or where my conclusions are not supported by the evidence that I provide." Surely Mann will Mann-up and respond to the challenge. After all, he wouldn't be afraid of a serious debate with a serious opponent, now would he? http://www.thecommentator.com/article/4635/climate_alarmist_and_hockeystick_inventor_gets_in_hot_water_after_more_hot_air#.Ut7dhBeZzE0.twitter
