What part of "if you let them take Milo down you're next" did the right fail to get?

2017-04-23

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was recently fired from Fox News after mounting accusations of sexual harassment and backlash from network sponsors. This follows the resignation of former CEO of Fox News Roger Ailes in July 2016 after allegations from Gretchen Carlson, Andrea Tantros, and Megyn Kelly of sexual harassment. Tantros also filed suit against Bill O’Reilly and politician Scott Brown. The latest conservative commentator to be accused of sexual misconduct is host Sean Hannity who was accused on the Pat Cambell Show by lawyer, political commentator, and frequent Fox News guest Debbie Schlussel. Debbie claimed on the show that Sean Hannity asked Schlussel to come back to his hotel twice after a book-signing event. Does this constitute sexual misconduct?

Westboro Baptists provided Mobile Training Team (MTT) to Bureau ?

2015-12-19

[Debbie Schlussell] Incredible but true. The FBI worked with the crazy, inbred, anti-Semitic, anti-gay, anti-American Westboro Baptist Church cult in order to train to engage community activists. . . or something. How completely, totally insane is this? On the other hand, it's right in line with the FBI's Islamo-pandering to the equally hateful, extremist Muslim community. The F.B.I. said that members of an anti-gay church took part in training of police officers and agents, a move the F.B.I. says it will take steps to remedy. The church, Westboro Baptist of Topeka, Kan., contends God is punishing the military for tolerance of homosexuality and has protested at military funerals. An F.B.I. spokesman said the group was invited "to establish open dialogue in an academic setting to train law enforcement on how to more effectively engage with the activist community." Now you know why I call 'em, Famous But Incompetent. The name fits.

Obama ICE Queen: Forget Immigration! Let's Focus on Our "Cute Dogs"

2015-12-19

[Debbie Schlussel] ICE Agents from all over the country have been bombarding my inbox in justifiable anger. They're mad about an e-mail they've received from Sarah R. Saldana, Barack Obama's incompetent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief, announcing the agency's new goal. Apparently, the illegal alien problem of 20 million-plus illegals in our country has been immediately solved and the new goal is . . . a Cute Dog Contest. Ms. Saldana--who is a WNBA/Dinah Shore Classic candidate if I ever saw one--wants everyone in ICE to know that her dogs Mitzi and Daisy are soooooo cute, and she wants her agents (most of whom are paid over $100,000 per year and many around $140K) to show her if their dogs are cuter. Yup, this is the important Homeland Security Mission of the day. Forget illegal aliens, which include Islamic terrorists. Forget Muslims smuggling weapons to ISIS. The important bidniz of da day is cute doggies. BTW, this is the same ICE chief who gave $113 million back to the federal government, saying she didn't need it, even as her agency deported fewer than .0002% of illegal aliens in America in the last fiscal year, a record low. She sounds like one of those crazy cat-lady hoarders who considers her dogs her "kids." Really, you're deporting only .0002% of the tens of millions of illegal aliens in this country . . . and you're asking your agents to send in photos of cute dogs for you to judge? Seriously? Ms. Saldana achieves the maximum of 4 Barking Moonbats.

Ron Paul Panders to Anti-Semitism in Michigan

2012-03-01

Ron Paul, who has consistently engaged in anti-Semitic nonsense over the course of the past few decades, has largely attempted to hide his anti-Semitism throughout his campaign. No longer. Ron Paul has issued this Arabic-language flyer outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan: Image at link The flyer actually has two sides. The English side promotes Paul’s “Plan to Restore America” and touts his deficit cutting prowess and dislike of the Federal Reserve. The Arabic side, however – the side shown above – is far less subtle. It says that Paul will cut foreign aid, and specifically mentions only foreign aid to Israel as the target of cutting. And that’s the point. Paul’s appeal to the Muslim community is strictly and completely based on his opposition to Israel. Paul’s anti-Semitism is well-documented; see his section on Zionism in Paul’s book Liberty Defined (better titled All The Weird Things Ron Paul Believes). His CYA maneuver, stating that he wants to cut all foreign aid, then determine to whom American should restore aid, is just that – a CYA maneuver. His real target is and always was Israel. I don’t see Ron Paul supporters handing out Hebrew flyers at my synagogue proclaiming his desire to cut off aid to Egypt, Libya, and the Palestinian Authority. The Islamic Center of America, by the way, is a “moderate” establishment run by Imam Hassan Qazwini, who has refused Saudi funding for his mosque. He’s also hosted Louis Farrakhan, who according to Debbie Schlussel, took the time to call Jewish Americans “forces of evil” with a “Satanic mentality,” and according to Schlussel, has expressed support for terrorist groups including Hezbollah and Hamas. So it’s no surprise that Paul sees his parishioners as rich ground for recruits.

Blogger Schlussel changes website in response to CAIR suit

2011-01-11

A fight over a website name may have been settled in federal court Monday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that blogger Debbie Schlussel was violating their trademark by registering cairmichigan.com with links to anti-Islamic websites. Www.cairmichigan.com now hosts the Council on American-Israel Relations, an organization run by Schlussel. Question for the OED: Is this the first time that the initial "w" from "www" been capitalized at the beginning of a sentence? If so, please be sure to save Rantburg its place of glory in English etymological history. Thanks. ;-) A few days ago, Schlussel was using a different name, the Council on American-Islamic Relations Michigan. So, the real Council on American-Islamic Relations took her to court. "CAIR Debbie Schlussel is allowed to say all of the disgusting and repulsive things that she has said for years. She's just not allowed to say that she's us while she's speaking," said CAIR Michigan spokesman Gadeir Abbas. A federal judge said Schlussel has undone most of the confusion, therefore he did not order her to take it down. "She simply changed the color, and she made it clear that what she's talking about is the Council on American-Israeli Relations, which cannot be confused with CAIR, the folks that brought this lawsuit," Schlussel's attorney said. Whether Schlussel is allowed to use the acronym CAIR must be answered in federal court. "The CAIR trademark is very weak, and we're going to seek to invalidate it. There's trademark misuse, and really this is just a thinly veiled lawsuit to try to muzzle another critic," said Kochanowski. "Debbie Schlussel is engaged in childish antics and is dancing around and creating a moving target for us, and that slows things down, but it's not going to stop us," according to a huffy Abbas.

Coca-Cola

2009-02-24

By Debbie Schlussel If you watched last night's Academy Awards show on ABC, you likely saw sponsor Coca-Cola's commercial patting itself on the back and you for drinking Coke, because the company takes some of its profits and gives college scholarships. But you know what would have been a more truthful and less effective commercial? Coke telling Coke drinkers how some of those college scholarships go to illegal aliens who should be deported, not given a free ride to college by law-abiding Americans who support secure borders and didn't know their soft drink choice was funding the exact opposite.

Headline: Clinton, Osama Meet to Discuss Unity

2008-06-06

Stolen directly from HotAir By Debbie Schlussel As I've repeatedly noted, The Detroit Newsistan is the only major newspaper in the country, whose editorial page editor (Nolan Finley) gives an agent of Hezbollah and the Government of Iran a regular column in which to spew his hate and propaganda in the name of "diversity" (what--no, David Duke?). I had a good laugh, this morning, as I quickly paged through the usual thin (in reporting, substance, and tangible thickness) hard copy of today's Detroit Newsistan. Here's why--nope, it's not a photoshop: You will have to click for the headline

BO meeting or Why did he rebut so quick on May 15?

2008-05-19

On May 14 Barack Obama held a private meeting at Macomb Community College with Hassan Qazwini. What else happened on May 14? Could it be President Bush called out someone for talking with Terrorists? Qazwini is the leader of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. Debbie Schlussel describes Qazwini as Hezbollah's most important imam and agent in America. Yep there it it the old Hezbollah = terorist connection. The stench of BO.... Kind of explains why he reacted so fast. Obama's meeting with Qazwini came to light because of a brief report in the Detroit Free Press (with the photo above) deriving from Qazwini and his mosque. The Obama campaign has not itself posted any news account or press release regarding the meeting on its Obama News page. A Google News search on "Obama Qazwini" shows that news of the meeting has essentially remained a closely guarded secret. The Free Press account states that the two discussed the presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Iraq war, according to Qazwini. Schlussel asks why "this open anti-Semite and supporter of Israel's annihilation" was afforded the privilege of discussing "the Arab-Israeli conflict" in a private one-on-one meeting with Obama. Perhaps they were discussing what Obama referred to as the "legitimate claims" of Hamas and Hezbollah in his chat with David Brooks. Schlussel has followed Qazwini's career for the past 10 years, decrying President Bush's meetings with Qazwini during the 2000 presidential campaign as well as in connection with the formulation of his faith-based initiative. Schlussel reports: Qazwini is very open about his support for Palestinian homicide bombings, HAMAS, and Hezbollah. And he's a good friend of Hezbollah spiritual leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah--the man who issued the fatwa to Hezbollah terrorists to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and U.S. Embassy civilians in cold blood. Qazwini's mosque has held rallies and celebrations in support of Hezbollah, and many of Hezbollah's biggest money-launderers and agents in America are his congregants. When I went undercover to his mosque in 1998, he and others welcomed Nation of Islam chief racist Louis Farrakhan as "our dear brother" and "a freedom fighter." Qazwini applauded Farrakhan's anti-Semitic statements saying that Jews were the "forces of Satan" and that there needed to be a "jihad" on the American people. Schlussel has more on her 1998 undercover visit to Qazwini's mosque at the time of Farrakhan's visit in her October 2001 post. Via Gateway Pundit (with thanks to Bill Otis for the heading). So, when BO responds to this with the obvious, note that President Bush did meet with the same character as part of his "Faith Based Initiatives". http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2001/10/radical_islams_1.html

Oprah on 9-11X6: Forgive, Respect, Raise Muslim Self-Esteem

2007-09-12

September 11, 2007 HOprah Watch: Today, Oprah Exploits the Children of 9/11 The use of "HOprah" is rude, worthy of Don Imus. By Debbie Schlussel **** UPDATE #2: BINGO! HOprah talks about "forgivenes" with one of the 9/11 kids. Don't say I didn't tell you so. She's so predictable. **** **** UPDATE: Forgot to mention, but I bet HOprah continues in her tradition of not mentioning that the terrorists were Muslim. **** Today, on her nationally syndicated daytime talk show, Oprah Winfrey will feature - actually, exploit - the children of 9/11 victims. It's beyond tacky. It's inappropriate. These kids shouldn't be watching her show . . . and they certainly shouldn't be on it.

GOP Candidate Tommy Thompson: Dim Bulb?

2007-04-02

Most Buffoonish GOP Candidate Enters Presidential Fray By Debbie Schlussel Possibly the dumbest Republican to hold a cabinet position in contemporary times is running for President. Schlussel is a semi-regular on Howard Stern's morning flatulence. Obviously, she has learned a few tricks from the King of all Egos. Former Wisconsin Governor and ex-Bush HHS Secretary, Tommy Thompson is running for President. Because even the mediocre, bumbling set need a representative in the race, apparently. Having lived in Wisconsin for 5.5 years while I went to Law School, Business School, and worked (all while he was the Guv), I had the misfortune of seeing up close what a nincompoop this guy is. It's laughable that he'd run. Bush is thinking: "Why did I pick this idiot?" But he probably thinks that whoever ultimately gets the GOP Presidential nod might be dumb enough to pick him--an ostensibly conservative governor from a Midwestern state with no skeletons save for lack of a brain--to be a running mate. G-d help us all if that happens. Bush picked Tommy Thompson as HHS Secretary to pay off a political debt in a position where he thought the bloviating Beer-and-Cheesehead-State boob would do the least harm. But he was wrong and soon regretted the decision...
