Ballsy Claim #1: Islam will conquer Rome [Fox News] and, eventually, Europe.
The fiery sermon, delivered by Yunis al-Astal and aired on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV, predicted that Rome would become “an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe.”

Joy Behar: Pro-Lifers “Against Women”

My latest annoyance? This, via NewsBusters:

Well, who knows. It’s not like anyone’s going to sift through the evidence to make sure.
“Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art,” a Yale spokeswoman, Helaine Klasky, said. “She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not [...]

LA Times Op-Ed: Those Who Call Obama ‘Elite’ Are Racist
2008-04-16 20:47:39
This is getting ridiculous. To liberals, it seems that you can’t call a spade a spade when that spade is not of Anglo-Saxon descent. Oh wait, that last analogy can be construed as racist. Let me rephrase. Liberals have fallen down the slippery slope of political correctness so far as to suggest that referring to [...]

Deroy Murdock: Discrimination a ‘”Choice”, “Fact of Life”
2008-04-18 11:13:58
Yesterday Deroy Murdock spoke at Dartmouth College about discrimination. Not black-white-legal-illegal discrimination, but the act of discrimination itself, a phenomenon he calls a “fact of life.” A surprising perspective, considering Murdock is both black and gay. Here is the crux of Murdock’s remarks, from TheDartmouth.com:

Yemeni Parliament: Female Circumcision is A-OK
