Alan Dershowitz vs. Gilad Atzmon

Alan DershowitzA Talmudic DeliberationEthnic cleansing advocate Alan Dershowitz is campaigning today for the release of arch spy Jonathan Pollard. In a commentary published on the repulsive Jewish media outlet The Algemeiner, Dershowitz argues “the time has come…for the United States to do the right thing with regard to Jonathan Pollard.”
Dershowitz’ argument is amusing as usual. “Pollard poses no continuing danger to America, since he has not had access to our secrets for nearly 30 years.”
Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor, should know that people occasionally remain locked behind bars for the crime they committed in the past rather than the crime they may not commit in the future.
For some peculiar reason Dershowitz also equates between Pollard and the Palestinian freedom fighters (whom he calls ‘murderers’), due to be released by Israel. “Unlike the Palestinian prisoners who are to be released, he (Pollard) has expressed regret over his actions and has sought forgiveness.”
Dershowitz obviously fails to realise that freedom fighters and political prisoners don’t tend to ask for forgiveness. Their action is the outcome of a legitimate struggle against oppression. However, Pollard, who was involved in an act of treason, falls into a different category altogether. Dershowitz and Pollard should accept that the act of asking for forgiveness doesn’t necessarily lead to a pardon.
Dershowitz believes that the USA should release Pollard in an attempt to persuade the Israelis to ‘vote for peace.’ “The Israeli public will have to vote for any deal struck between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators,” contends the ‘best Jewish Lawyer in the world.’
The Talmudic reasoning is quick to follow - “the outcome of such (Israeli) referendum will depend on whether Israeli voters believe that their security has been assured and that the United States continues to stand behind them.” So here we are, America should let off an arch Israeli spy so the Israelis can vote for peace.
I think that Dershowitz’ Talmudic orientation is indeed very impressive. However, being myself a product of Talmudic upbringing, I would actually go along with Dershowitz’ suggestion.
I would propose that the USA releases Pollard immediately under a strict provision – If the Jewish State votes peace as Dershowitz promises, Pollard would remain free. But if the Israelis fail to provide, if they vote against peace (as they usually do), then Pollard would be locked behind bars again as stipulated by his life sentence.
Such a condition would make the Israeli spy into a negotiation bargain for peace. If the Israeli people really want Jonathan free, as Dershowitz insists, they would have to choose peace for the first time.
I would love to know how Dershowitz can rescue his troubled case now.

Meet the Boss Chris Christie: Breathing New LIfe into the Republican Party

Joe Scarborough Calls Chris Christie A Pig In The Nicest Possible Way

» 4 comments
Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) and SenatorRand Paul (RW-NJ) have been locked in oral combat for several days now, with Sen. Paulgoing all 1920s on Christie’s “Hogwash,” and Gov. Christie telling Paul to go get his f*ckin’ pork box, and Paul responding “I know you are, but what am I?”
Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough took Christie’s side Wednesday morning by, of course, comparing him to a pig. Maybe Joe is angling for honorary New Jersey citizenship.
Scarborough played a package of clips summarizing the feud, in which Christie responded to Sen. Paul’s Abba-esque criticism of Hurrican Sandy aid by saying “Maybe Senator Paul could deal with that when he’s trying to deal with the reduction of spending on the federal side, but I doubt he would, because most Washington politicians only care about bringing home the bacon so that they can get re-elected.”
The clip omitted Christie’s citation of Paul’s state as a federal teat-suckler to the tune of $1.57 received for every dollar they pay in federal taxes in 2010, versus the $.77 New Jersey gets back.
Then, came Paul’s clever rubber-glue gambit, “This is the king of bacon talking about bacon,” followed by his plea for Christie to stop picking on him. “He’s making a big mistake picking a fight with other Republicans, because the Republican party is shrinking in New England and in the northeast part of our country. I’m the one trying to grow the party. Attacking me isn’t helping the party, he’s hurting the party.”
Grow the party? Why don’t you grow a set of Kentucky Fried Stones, first. I though Kentucky was famous for bourbon, not whine.
Scarborough then noted that Paul is polling three points ahead of Christie in a recent poll, but he misidentified it as a poll of Iowa. In fact, Paul’s lead is in Public Policy Polling’s most recent national poll. In that same poll, however, Paul gets mangled by Hilary Clinton in a general election matchup, while Christie performs best against the former Secretary of State, trailing by a single point.
“I want to say this, and we’re good friends with Chris Christie,” Scarborough began. “He’s losing weight. This has nothing to do with his weight. My grandma, in Dalton, Georgia, always said this, never get in a fight with a pig, because you both get dirty, and the pig likes it. I’m making no reference. People talking about — no, i’m talking about Chris Christie likes fighting.”
Scarborough then called Rand Paul a “daddy’s boy,”adding that “I don’t know that he scratched and clawed his way to the senate. I’m glad he’s there. I’ve got a libertarian streak in me,” which, if I’m not mistaken, is treatable, and covered under Obamacare.
He concluded, “You don’t want to screw with Chris Christie.”
Although he meant it as a compliment, here’s what Scarborough doesn’t understand about New Jersey: a never-ending procession of out of state plates doing 50 in the left lane does things to a people. Saying that Chris Christie “likes” fighting is like saying a fish “likes” to swim. It’s not a matter of personal preference here.
Here’s the clip, from MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

Nelly Honors Amanda Berry


Nelly Invites Cleveland, Ohio Kidnapping Victim Onstage At Concert

Nelly Invites Cleveland, Ohio Kidnapping Victim Onstage At Concert

Amanda Berry appears onstage with Nelly in her first public appearance.
In 2003, Cleveland, Ohio native Amanda Berry went missing until May 2013, when she was rescued after a decade of imprisonment and rape.
In a story that shocked the United States, it was revealed that Ariel Castro, who was sentenced to life and 1,000 years in prison just this week, kidnapped Berry and two other women, and had been holding them in captivity for years. All three women, and the six-year-old daughter of Amanda Berry, who Castro fathered, were saved.
Berry, now 27, has begun to acclimate herself to the world as it is in 2013. But along the way, she went back to a time before tragedy struck.
On Saturday (July 27), Berry came on stage with her family at a Nelly concert in Cleveland. Nelly's career, of course, was at an all-time-high in 2003, just one year removed from Nellyville, which has gone six times platinum in the United States.
"He said, 'Everyone, here's Amanda Berry,' and she came out with a friend, another young woman," said concertgoer Kayleigh Fladung to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "She didn't say anything, but she was smiling and happy. "She waved to the crowd, everyone went crazy cheering, and she went backstage. Nelly did his set, four or five songs, and then he brought her out again and everyone cheered."
"It was cool to see but still very surprising," added Fladung.
As he brought Berry out, Nelly said, "I want to make sure we get a chance to thank you... because I can't even imagine the type of strength and the type of courage that it took to keep it going. So for that, again, I commend you...and for that, I want you to stay here," before dedicating his peformance of "Just a Dream" to Berry:
The event marked Berry's first public appearance since her horrific ordeal.

Major Radio Broadcaster Planning To Drop Limbaugh, Hannity At End Of The Year

» 45 comments

Cumulus Media, the second-biggest radio broadcaster in the country, will be dropping Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations by the end of the year. POLITICO reports thatnegotiations broke down between Cumulus and the conservative hosts’ radio distributor Premiere Networks over distribution rights.
Back in March, Cumulus Media CEO Lew Dickeyadmitted that they were still having problems with advertisers over Limbaugh’s Sandra Flukecomments over a year after he made them. As a result, Limbaugh was reportedly considering cutting his ties to Cumulus, around the same timeMediaite learned from an insider that “the vast majority of national advertisers now refuse to air their ads during Rush Limbaugh’s show.”
Whether Limbaugh was still considering to depart or not, Cumulus has preempted any potential move on his part by ending its relationship with the two Clear Channel hosts.
Cumulus has decided that it will not renew its contracts with either host, the source said, a move that would remove the two most highly rated conservative talk personalities from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets…
As industry insiders caution, Cumulus and Clear Channel have come to the brink before during contract negotiations only to resume talks. But the source told POLITICO that Clear Channel was unlikely to reduce the cost for distribution rights to a level that would satisfy Cumulus.
No one involved in the story (Cumulus, Premiere, spokespeople for Hannity and Limbaugh) has made a comment to POLITICO yet. It was reported in May that 48 out of Cumulus’ 50 top advertisers “exclude Rush and Hannity” from their ad buys (although Clear Channel denied it at the time).

bill o'reilly: at the helm on The Sinking Ship Of Fools


In the case of racism it seems like Bill O'Reilly and all the crew members of his sinking ship of fools are code for racism in America but I certainly would not say that about all republicans.
Chris Christie wants all Americans to know he has their back--just like President Obama and I have to say that is a wonderful sentiment and I am a dem.
Karl Rove: note to self--work on ways to inconspicuously ditch Bill and Sean and start focusing on the Jersey shore menu.

Chris Christie, Bill O'Reilly and the New Conservatives



Chris Christie and the new conservative branch of the republican party are trying to distance themselves as much as possible from Bill O’Reilly, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Donald Trump and other embarrassing members of the walking dead--the ROWG branch of the GOP.  


It turns out shouting, spitting, arrogance, flaring nostrils and the sentiment of racism and bigotry are not only undesirable traits in a husband and around the house but they also do not win elections.

Note à CNN: Veuillez garder Strombo

Note à CNN: Veuillez garder Strombo
Tout ne peut pas s'empêcher de demander .... que dire de Prime Suspect avec Helen Mirren? Je pense vraiment que c'est la meilleure émission de télévision que j'ai jamais vu, mais je ne suis pas non plus un expert Sopranos et je sais que tout le monde aime celui-là, aussi.

J'aime vraiment Strombo et je pense qu'il est un grand journaliste et CNN a de la chance de l'avoir. La plupart radio et la télévision intervieweurs jamais vraiment arriver à ce niveau d'avoir fait une longue conversation d'information avec un client sans que ni parler tout le temps eux-mêmes ou insultant l'invité ou en quelque sorte ce qui les rend mal à l'aise.

Le spectacle devient alors sur l'hôte. George let Henry Winkler et Larry King et Aisha Tyler disent information qui peut être utile et source d'inspiration pour le téléspectateur moyen - qui est vraiment assez haut dans le monde du spectacle de conversation.

Je dirais qu'il est dans la catégorie de Larry King et Johnny Carson.

Bon travail de George et j'espère que CNN vient à leur bon sens et lui continue à.

voici ce que j'ai mis sur mon blog si vous souhaitez le lire ....

Your credentials compared to President Obama and Eric Holder.......

Note to Karl Rove:   who are the voters and why did the repubs. lose the election.....should there be two conservative parties.....the new repubs and the old nuts.....



O’Reilly Smacks Down Obama’s Race Speech: President Has ‘No Clue’ How To Combat ‘Gangsta Culture’

VIDEO» 1107 comments

Bill O’Reilly opened his show Monday night by examining President Obama‘s Friday afternoon speech on race and the Trayvon Martin case. O’Reilly began by saying Obama was “correct in addressing the race issue” but then proceeded to hammer the president for failing to address the “real” problems facing the African-American community.
“The sad truth is that from the president on down, our leadership has no clue, no clue at all about how to solve problems within the black community,” O’Reilly said. “And many are frightened to even broach the issue. That’s because race hustlers and the grievance industry have intimidated the so-called ‘conversation,’ turning any valid criticism of African-American culture into charges of racial bias.” He said it’s these attitudes that have forced African-Americans to “fend for themselves in violent neighborhoods.”
Coming back to Trayvon Martin specifically, O’Reilly said there is only evidence that George Zimmerman “profiled” the 17-year-old because he was “dressed in clothing sometimes used by street criminals”–not his skin color. “It was wrong for Zimmerman to confront Martin based on his appearance,” he said. “But the culture that we have in this country does lead to criminal profiling because young black American men are so often involved in crime.”
This led O’Reilly to pinpoint the primary cause of these statistics: “The disintegration of the African-American family.” More than anything else, he chalked up black crime to the fact that “73% of all black babies are born out of wedlock,” a problem that he said Obama and other civil rights leaders refuse to address. He also pointed fingers at the entertainment industry, and particularly “gangsta culture,” for “encouraging irresponsibility” and “glorifying bad behavior.”
O’Reilly outright rejected the notion, put forward by “race hustlers and limousine liberals” that “unfair” incarceration rates for “non-violent” drug offenses contribute to the problem, calling out Jesse JacksonAl Sharpton and Obama for refusing to condemn drug dealers. Getting more and more heated as he progressed, O’Reilly argued that blacks’ disadvantages “has nothing to do with slavery. It has everything to do with you Hollywood people and you derelict parents.”
In conclusion, O’Reilly said, “it’s now time for the African-American leadership, including President Obama, to stop the nonsense. Walk away from the world of victimization and grievance and lead the way out of this mess.”

from a derelict mom---I rather not be married than be married to a man that shouts like O'Reilly.  If he acts like that on television how do you think he acts when the cameras are not around. This single mom is betting he is pretty scary....can you imagine raising your kids in that environment.  That is what someone said to me..."Do you want your son to grow up and act like your husband?  Then I would get a divorce......"

Bill O'Reilly: Spinning in the No Spin Zone




Bill constantly says he is telling the truth but here is a blatant example of how he tried to spin it and was incorrect.  I wish I could speak as well as Geraldo did the other evening on the show but here is my attempt anyway.  I have written quite a few times about Bill on my blog--the ronnie republic.  If you do not want to click on the link just google the ronnie republic and bill o'reilly.  Thank you for your time.


Sometimes I think the whole thing of Bill O'Reilly is just a cover for racism.  I mean, why is he constantly trying to tell people of African-American descent how to act--as if he knows the answer if people would only listen to him.  

Seriously, what are his credentials--for instance compared to President Obama and Eric Holder.  Not just that these two are African-American and have lived the facts but are they not also learned individuals with education in this particular area.  Wouldn't they be more prepared to talk on the issue than Bill?  

I've gone on now too much.......

Note to CNN: Please keep Strombo

Just can't resist asking....what about Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren? I really think that is the best television show I have ever seen, but I also am not a Sopranos expert and I know everyone loves that one, too. 

I really like Strombo and I think he is a great interviewer and CNN is lucky to have him. Most radio and television interviewers really never get to that level of actually having a lengthy informational chat with a guest without either talking the whole time themselves or insulting the guest or somehow making them uncomfortable. 

The show then becomes about the host. George let Henry Winkler and Larry King and Aisha Tyler say information that can be useful and inspirational to the average viewer--that is really pretty high up in the talk show world.

I would say he is in the category of Larry King and Johnny Carson.

Good job to George and I hope CNN comes to their senses and keeps him on.

here is what I put on my blog if you would like to read it....
