CNN retracts accusations that Col. Lakin is a "racist" and "freak"
By Bob Unruh, WND.com
CNN, which became one of the first mainstream networks to put the absence of publicly available documentation for Barack Obama's presidential eligibility in prime time, has issued a retraction for publicly calling an officer challenging Obama's eligibility "racist." The original accusation and the retraction both came from one of the "experts" CNN offered on the case of Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who faces a court-martial in a few weeks for refusing to deploy because the president refused to document his eligibility to be commander-in-chief. An initial combative interview with Lakin was done by CNN's Anderson Cooper, who portrayed Lakin negatively. It was a followup shortly later by CNN's Jeffrey Toobin in which the problems arose. Cooper mentioned Lakin had served "honorably" in his 18-year career. Toobin then launched a rant. "You know, these people are bigots, they're racists, they're freaks, they're lunatics, these are not rational players in American politics," he said on air.

Perfect Timing: Media Matters Beclowns Itself Just as FDA's New Death Panel Begins Process of Denying Access to Breast Cancer Treatment
Doug Ross@Journal
If you look up schmucks in the dictionary, odds are you'll see this logo. The nutters at Media Matters selectively spliced Jim Hoft's pick-up of this story to apply their typical Streicher-style spin. While I appreciate the free P.R., what you'll want to note is what the cretins forgot to mention. That is, the Susan G. Komen for The Cure Foundation -- not exactly a bunch of wingnuts -- are among those protesting the FDA's discontinuation of Avastin "for metastatic breast cancer patients, noting that it is effective for some patients and warning of a chilling effect on new drug development if approval is withdrawn." In the kind of exquisite timing at which Media Nutters specializes, Ace o' Spades reported the following delightful development earlier today, complete with flaming skull.

CAIR is trying to stop Brigitte Gabriel's TEA Party rally appearance
chisright.com
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has risen up from its cold damp oppressive basement in Washington D.C. and is attempting to use a press release attack to shut down the first Amendment rights of Brigitte Gabriel the President of Act For America and my organization The Emerald Coast Tea Party Patriots. Mrs. Gabriel is the keynote speaker at our rally in support of our United States Constitution, being held this Saturday August 21 at the Emerald Coast Conference Center in Fort Walton Beach Florida. Since learning of this event and its featured speaker, the President of CAIR has been trying to pressure me to disinvite Mrs. Gabriel and pressuring the invited scheduled political candidates to boycott the event.

Beware of International Government Granting Amnesty to Illegals
David North, Center for Immigration Studies
Most of the dialogue on national immigration policy, understandably, is focused on direct federal government policy making; that is, when Congress passes a law or votes appropriations, when the executive makes policies within the law, and when the judiciary interprets the law. But there is another aspect of national policy making in which the U.S. government hands off migration decision making to some other entity, such as to a huge international organization like the World Trade Organization (WTO), or to a tiny government, such as that of American Samoa. These arrangements should concern all low-migration advocates, particularly since the mass migration people are proposing commissions to help make immigration policy.
