Israel Fears Another 'Anti-Semitic' UN Conference on Racism
By Joseph Schuman - AOL NewsNearly every nation in the world agrees that racism, in general, is a bad thing. What keeps the world from joining forces to tackle the problem is a bitter disagreement over definitions of racism, specifically when talking about Israel, and that doesn't look likely to change anytime soon. Israel said over the weekend that it will likely boycott a United Nations conference on combating racism set for September after the U.N. General Assembly decided to bill the meeting as another follow-up to the first U.N. racism conference held 10 years earlier in Durban, South Africa. That Durban meeting ...
Terry Jones Cancels Quran Burning Cancellation: So Wait, Is It Back On?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Sept. 9) To burn or not to burn, that is the question. On Tuesday, would-be Quran-burning Pastor Terry Jones, leader of the decidedly non-mainstream Dove World Outreach Center christian church, said he would consider the vehement objections of numerous other high profile figures and pray before making his final decision on whether or not to proceed with the virulently anti-Muslim demonstration on this coming Saturday, Sept. 11. Then, on Thursday, it seemed as though the anti-Muslim bonfire was back on, prompting cautionary alerts from the U.S. State Department and Interpol about a ...
Opinion: We're Becoming a Nation of Haters
By Noah Blumenthal - AOL News(July 9) -- California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa takes pride in opposing the Obama administration. Democratic Reps. Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi played that role when George W. Bush was in office. Keith Olbermann provides a nightly list of "Worst Persons in the World," a personal hate list as much as anything. And Rush Limbaugh's hate rants range from drug addicts to illegal immigrants to, of course, all things liberal. The BP oil disaster spawned hate ranging from The Wall Street Journal to ihatebp.com. There is a trend in America in which we are more and more idolizing people who have ...

The Freepers and the Electronic Hate Megaphone
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyUntil this morning I was, I have to admit, blissfully unaware of the existence of the Free Republic Web site. Now, I know it is an online message board that purports to be the meeting place for "independent, grass-roots conservatism" on the Web, and, that its members are nicknamed "Freepers" -- which may be the creepiest new media word to enter the lexicon since we the tweeple met Twitter. I also learned that some of the Freepers have a serious -- and baffling -- problem with 11-year-old Malia Obama wearing a T-shirt with a peace sign on it, and that this sparked a series of incredibly ...
Rush Says Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney 'Hate' and 'Despise' Sarah Palin
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWell, maybe the Republican rebranding effort isn't all it was cracked up to be. Conservative radio entertainer Rush Limbaugh has surveyed the Republican party's field of prospective candidates to retake the White House in 2012, and has, apparently, decided on a favorite with a familiar-sounding name: Sarah Palin. ...
Frank Schaeffer: Purge The Heretics
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyOriginally written for Redstate.comMuch was made, during storied campaign 2008, of the notion that we are all one people, needlessly divided. That from the many would come the one. There is not a liberal America, and a conservative America, there is the United States of America, after all. Heal this nation, we heard. Make us one, they pleaded. A lovely sentimentality, that. And an utterly false affectation, of course, as we've come to see over the last few weeks. Despite left-wing bloggers' Ministry of Truth efforts at rewriting history, to even the most casual observer it should be clear that ...
Jose Guillen Is Ready To Hurt Somebody
By Tom Fornelli - AOL NewsYou may remember the incident between Jose Guillen and Brendan Donnelly a couple of weeks ago, and let me assure you, that was just a warmup. There is a lot of anger inside the body of Jose Guillen, and only some is reserved for Donnelly.Guillen' s made no secret of his contempt for Mike Scioscia and the Angels, and even before the season started he had his eyes set on April 20th. That's because today Jose Guillen and the Mariners roll into Anaheim to face his arch enemy.You might think that with a few years passing since Scioscia and Guillen got into a fight that resulted in Guillen's being ...
Jim Delaney Crushes Sportswriters In His Mighty Jaws
By Brian Cook - AOL NewsLet's stipulate this: Taylor Bell of the Chicago Sun-Times is a very dumb person if his most recent column is any indication. I mean... it's ludicrously bad. Sample idiocy snippet: So what happened? [To make the Big Ten suck] It got slower. The Big Ten fell behind because it stayed north of the Mason-Dixon Line and failed to bring in the athletes who were coming out of the Deep South, especially Florida.The rest of it is the same ugly pastiche of unsupported cliches and general mouthbreathing. There's a 50-50 shot Bell is a nom de plume of Jay Mariotti. That's how bad it is. So what, you say? ...
Hated Clock Rules To Die Soon (Probably)
By Brian Cook - AOL NewsThe annual NCAA football competition committee conference, from whence come all on-field rules changes, meets today until Wednesday. Sure to be a hot topic of conversation is evil 3-2-5e, much-loathed by coaches, fans, players, and everyone not named CBS. It's universally assumed that the clock will not run when the ball is struck on a kickoff. I say we get together a fruit basket for Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, whose shenanigans late in the first half against Penn State were enough nails to place that rule back in its coffin. NCAA Associate Director of Playing Rules Administration Ty Halpin ...
