GITMO made him do it !!

I was waiting for the left and its mouthpieces to contort the story of released Guantanamo Bay detainee who carried out a suicide bombing.

Firedoglake » Guantanamo Wrecks Careers, Breeds Enemies

According to Secretary Gates, about 5-6 percent of detainees released from Guantanamo in recent years have later become involved in violence. One of those, a Kuwaiti who was captured in Afhanistan while allegedly fighting with the Taliban, was held at Gitmo from 2002 to 2005. Last month he blew himself up in Iraq:

The last words of a suicide bomber in Mosul were a rallying cry for Muslims to join the fight against Americans.

His taking-off point was his experience at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

In two accounts — a transcript of his conversation in a jihadist chat room and a suicide message on tape — both posted on Web sites devoted to Al Qaeda after his death, the bomber, Abdallah Salih al-Ajmi, 29, described his detention as “torture” carried out by infidels. He was in Guantánamo from 2002 to 2005.

The American military confirmed that Mr. Ajmi, a Kuwaiti, carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq last month. His relatives were the first to make public his death, and Kuwaiti newspapers reported on Thursday that he was one of three Kuwaiti suicide bombers involved in an attack in Mosul that killed several Iraqi soldiers.

I find it interesting when the left chooses to use the word “alleged”.

Pentagon: Ex-detainees returning to fight - CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Kuwaiti man released from U.S. custody at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in 2005 blew himself up in a suicide attack in Iraq last month, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.

This photo of Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi was posted on a jihadist Web site.

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi was one of two Kuwaitis who took part in a suicide attack in Mosul on April 26, the officials said. Records show that an attack in Mosul that day targeted an Iraqi police patrol and left six people dead, including two police officers.

The left and the nutroots like Firedoglake are crying over the ACCURATE add in North Carolina add tying democrat candidates Bev Perdue and Richard Moore for governor to Obama, questioning Obama’s judgment and ties to the radical Reverend Wright.

Firedoglake » Liddy Dole: Chock Full O’ Empty

Well, that’s beyond pathetic. Leadership: not what Liddy Dole does. Clearly.

Hello, earth to Liddy — the NCGOP is running their offensive, race-baiting ad as a YouTube on the front page of their website (it’s on the internets, dear, have your staff pull it up for you). And it says “The Official Website of the North Carolina Republican Party” right there on the front page, along with identifying you, dear, as one of their very own NCGOP-endorsed candidates.

Since the NCGOP is some random third party with which she claims no connection, methinks she ought to return the thousands of dollars in political money they have given her. Since she has no acknowledged connection to their “third party ads,” then she probably shouldn’t take their filthy money either, right? Bless her heart…

Looks like a little truth washed up on the shore of Firedoglake and they don’t like it.

Cry me a river nutroots….cry me a river.

Seems the nutroots are all giddy over the CBS / NY Times Poll showing Obama rebounding in the wake of the Reverend Wright debacle.

Only problem is the CBS / NY Times poll seems off by as much as 10 TIMES the other polls.

CBS Poll: Support For Obama Rebounds, In Wake Of Controversy Over Former Pastor

(CBS) Democrat Barack Obama appears to have rebounded from some of the damage caused by the controversy surrounding his former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, according to the latest CBS News/New York Times poll.

On one key measure, Obama has seen a big reversal since his denunciation of Wright’s remarks on Tuesday. He now leads presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in the hypothetical fall contest by eleven points, 51 percent to 40 percent. That compares to a tied match-up in a CBS News/New York Times poll that was released last Wednesday.

Mr. Marty Parish of the Huffington Post is completely destroyed by John Gibson.

A new low for The Huffington Post.

Two Huffington Post “reporters” attend a McCain campaign event where one Huffington Post “reporter” asks McCain if he really called his wife a C**NT while the other, Keith Dinsmore filmed him.

Here is how Hufington Post presented the “story”

Baptist Minister Asks McCain: “Did You Call Your Wife A C**t?” (VIDEO) - Politics on The Huffington Post

At a town hall forum in Iowa yesterday, Sen. John McCain was asked about a story from Cliff Schecter’s controversial recent book, The Real McCain, which alleges that during a 1992 campaign stop, McCain angrily called his wife a “trollop” and a “c**t” in front of aides and reporters.

Marty Parrish, a business owner in Des Moines, told OffTheBus’s Keith Dinsmore that he asked McCain about the incident because he’s concerned about how McCain’s temper could impact his leadership.

Watch as The Huffington Post’s Keith Dinsmore outright lies about their little escapade pretending he doesn’t even know Mr. Marty Parish when Parish signed in # 1 on the media sign in sheet and Dinsmore signed in # 4

Keith Dinsmore: Questioner Dragged Out Of McCain Town Hall Talks To OffTheBus - Off The Bus on The Huffington Post

OffTheBus member Keith Dinsmore was on the scene at the McCain healthcare town hall in Iowa Wednesday where Marty Parrish posed a question to the candidate the mainstream media weren’t asking. Parrish was dragged out by secret service agents. He talked with OTB’s Dinsmore after the event.

Marty Parrish was aware of John McCain’s alleged history as an adulterer and that he had left the wife who had raised his children while McCain was held captive in Vietnam for a rich, young trophy wife.

But last week, when Parrish — a business owner in Des Moines — read a Huffington Post article by Adam McKay, “Vetting the Candidates,” that related how McCain had verbally abused Cindy McCain in front of reporters and staff, Parrish became both angry and concerned.

Kind of Ironic that the hacks at The Huffington Post pull a stunt like this just as Arianna Huffington makes the rounds on her book tour crying about the media being unfair.

Firedoglake….A daily lesson on how to operate a political blog like a group of Jr. High School brats.

And the Nutroots wonder why the Democrats ran away from them.

Funny the only Democrat candidate to embrace the nutroots wholesale was John Edwards……John Who?

Oh wait you mean John Edwards the guy Joe Trippi is now saying “could have been a contender”?

Not only are the two remaining Democratic candidates completely ignoring the Netroots / Nutroots, it seems the target of one their derangement disorders, Fox News, is being embraced by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama!

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton embrace Fox News - Los Angeles Times

NEW YORK — Just a year ago, Fox News Channel was considered a pariah in many Democratic circles. But it appears that the cable news network is no longer in the doghouse.

Democrats and Fox News Make Friends - New York Times

All of a sudden, the once-frosty relationship between Fox News and the Democratic candidates seems to have grown warmer. Mrs. Clinton and Barack Obama, who steadfastly refused to attend Fox-sponsored debates last year, are now giving plenty of interviews as they court Fox’s viewers, who are largely white, conservative and undecided.

What a disappointment for the Fox News derangement syndrome sufferers like Newshounds, Dailykos and Robert Greenwald

The best is this priceless quote from king nutroot Markos Moulitsas of Dailykos, obtained by Politico:

Markos Moulitsas, founder of the leading liberal site Daily Kos, told Politico’s Michael Calderone: “Democrats are being idiotic by going on that network.”

I see a future Bob Schrum or Joe Trippi in Markos…No?

Ed at Hot Air has more better stuff!

Cudos to Little Green Footballs for revealing the Dailykos kids “Uncle Tom”-ing of Barack Obama.

lgf: Daily Kos: ‘Uncle Tom’ Obama

Barack Obama’s repudiation of Jeremiah Wright didn’t go over well with many of the Kos Kids.

Daily Kos: State of the Nation

I have been a huge supporter of Barack. He is the guy I’ve been behind for quite awhile now. Check my older diaries if you wonder about that. And while I’ve been steeling myself for a Barack loss in November, because I think the Repug machine is too good for him to beat, I had resigned myself to still working hard for him and for the Progressive cause!

But today something changed for me…

Today, the scales fell from my eyes and I saw Barack Obama for what he truly is: a weak man and a standard politician. I really never thought I would say this…

But I am disgusted with him!

You know the democrats and nutroots are in complete disarray when the nutroots are accusing Hillary Clinton supporters (North Carolina Governor Mike Easley) of “Gay Baiting”

Firedoglake » Governor Mike Easley’s Clinton Endorsement Marred By Gay-Baiting

North Carolina Governor Mike Easley tainted his endorsement of Senator Clinton when he used a common gay slur at the end of his riff on how much he loves strong women:

ABC News’ Eloise Harper Reports: Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton received the endorsement of North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley Tuesday morning in Raleigh, NC. After touring a bio-manufacturing training center, Gov. Easley, First Lady of North Carolina Mary Easley and Clinton held a ceremony at NC State University. The Governor formally expressed his support saying that there was “nothing I love more than a strong powerful woman.” Easley concluded his remarks saying Clinton — “makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy”.

Typical children, when somebody does something they don’t like, don’t adress the issue just hurl slanderous accusations and insults.

Seems the pups over at Newshounds are hell still hell bent on producing as much hackery as possible.

This time claiming Bill O’Reilly is pushing items from NewsBusters (why shouldn’t he) when in fact CNN interviewed Colonel Ken Allard just this past Sunday in which Col. Allered confirmed his reason for leaving NBC was due to it’s tilting left.

CNN.com - Transcripts

KURTZ: … Cowan told me he recalled it quite vividly.

Colonel Allard, I’ve got a few seconds left.

Last year you quit NBC and MSNBC…

ALLARD: That’s right.

KURTZ: … after a 10-year relationship. You indicated you thought they were moving to the left.

ALLARD: I thought they really had moved very surely to the left. And I also thought that when they had the chance to clarify the fact that they were not moving to the left, they didn’t do so.

KURTZ: How did that affect your role as an analyst?

ALLARD: Well, number one, I was not getting on. And again, that had been a longstanding trend. And I simply saw the handwriting on the wall and said, you know what? They’re going one way, I’m going the other.

Guys, thank you very much. God bless you. I wish you well.

News Hounds: O’Reilly channels Newsbusters item to slap at NBC

How far will Bill O’Reilly go to furthur an agenda item? He’ll dredge up an old (over a year) non-story and omit pertinent facts, all to take another swipe at NBC - that bastion of liberalism that the self-proclaimed independent so loathes. His source? Newsbusters.

I know its tough but when “NEWS” is half of your website name you may actually want to read and watch some NEWS.
