Was Mubarak Setting a Trap With Defiant Speech?
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIt was the rhetorical equivalent of hitting a hornet's nest. After Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak addressed his fellow citizens and the world about the future of his government, the mood of hundreds of thousands of protesting citizens turned from one of celebration to outright rage. Across the globe, observers commented that Mubarak was tone deaf, out of touch and essentially not hearing the voices of his own people. But what if the Egyptian leader were actually trying to incite the protesters? CNN's Fareed Zakaria argued that Mubarak's words may have been more calculated than ...
What's Behind the Recent Backlash Against Islam?
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 9) -- What began with the right-wing political campaign against the "Ground Zero Mosque," an Islamic community center that is neither a mosque nor located at ground zero, has now become a national phenomenon. Crowds of protesters, sometimes aligned with the conservative Tea Party movement, are now rallying against proposed mosques in such locations as Murfreesboro, Tenn.; Sheboygan, Wis.; Bridgeport, Conn.; and Temecula, Calif. What's behind this sudden and severe backlash against Muslim-American families? And where is it headed next? Typical Anti-Immigrant Sentiment: The New York ...

"I am not only saddened but stunned and somewhat speechless by your decision," ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said in a letter on the group's website. "I would have expected you to reach out to me before coming to ...

The Cable News Patrol: My Long National Nightmare Is Over!
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyAt the finish line, there were no high-school marching bands, no pyrotechnics – not even a perky young TV reporter cloyingly asking the all-purpose how-do-you-feel question. Instead, at 1:26 pm Sunday afternoon, I rapturously luxuriated in a heavenly choir serenading me with the sounds of silence, as a blessed sense of peace washed over my body. After more than 60 hours of eye-glazed communion with the three major cable news networks (enough time to watch every episode from all three seasons of "Mad Men" twice), the television set was mercifully off. I had set out on this ...
What Does G.O.P. Stand For?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThis figurative question has been asked quite a bit in the wake of last Tuesday's historic election. What does it mean to be a member of the Grand Old Party? That you favor small government over large? That you cling to guns and God more than your Democrat neighbors? That the issue of abortion trumps all else? Perhaps all three reasons apply. Whatever the reason for Republican affiliation, a clear side-effect of this political condition became apparent in the waning days of the campaign, and has taken hold of the party faithful: Anger. Consider this now-famous exchange from a McCain rally. The ...
