'Afghan Robin Hood' and Other Real-Life Outlaws
By Dave Thier - AOL News
(Oct. 4) -- Meet Col. Abdul Razziq, a larger-than-life figure in the Afghan war who simultaneously manages a vast criminal empire and maintains an impressive level of NATO-appreciated security in the areas he controls, earning him the nickname "the Afghan Robin Hood." His life and deeds are also the subject of a detailed profile by Rajiv Chandrasekaran in The Washington Post today, in which he was portrayed as a complex figure -- a man both dangerous and vital, at once undermining the Afghan government and giving it hope. But how does he compare to the more familiar figure of English-lit ...
Obama's Message Getting Out
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyAll political campaigns fret from time to time that their central message is not getting out. So candidates often repeat their proposals and promises numerous times in an attempt to make sure that voters connect with the campaign's purpose and the candidate's vision. If the following supporter of Sen. Obama is any indication, however, the Obama campaign has no reason to worry. This supporter, interviewed at a Florida Obama rally, understands clearly what Sen. Obama and his campaign have been trying to communicate. And she has a perfectly clear idea of what she expects from an Obama ...
Obama Says Tax Foes 'Selfish'
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailySen. Barack Obama told a crowd in Florida yesterday that those who don't want to pay higher taxes to help fund his redistributionist policies are "selfish." In a long defense of his tax policies, which have come under withering criticism in recent days, Obama blamed Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin, and the McCain campaign for lauding those who resist higher taxes. Obama said that McCain and Palin were, "making a virtue out of selfishness.""The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich. I love rich people! I want all of you to be ...
Joe the Plumber, Meet Tito the Builder
By Dave - Politics DailyTito came onto the national stage last week when he showed up at a Virginia rally for McCain and started launching on the news media, demanding to know if he was going to be investigated too and that he had brought his papers.Yesterday he made it official: From townhall: "Everything we stand for is in danger by higher taxes and less freedom," Munoz told an enthusiastic crowd, which frequently chanted his name. "Everything we stand for is made stronger by people like you, like John McCain and Sarah Palin." For her part, Palin noted the name Tito has not been mentioned this often since the ...
Redistribute-Gate: McCain Knocks Equality?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJohn McCain's latest attempt to paint Barack Obama as the second coming of Chairman Mao (sorry, the 3rd. Wasn't John Kerry the 2nd?) relies heavily on an out of context (of coooourse!) quote from a 2001 radio interview. In the interview, Obama utters the phrase "redistribution of wealth," and the McCain campaign collectively soiled themselves with glee. The McCain campaign is using the interview to say that Obama favors socialism. Of course, the lie is halfway around the world already, but I'll do my best to break this down to its simplest element. Politico and Anrew Sullivan go into much ...

Obama: 'Redistribution of Wealth' is the Goal
By Dave - Politics DailyThis shocking radio interview from WBEZ in 2001 will likely be the centerpiece of the final GOP push. Why? Just listen: Newsbusters has the transcript: ...But the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution, at least as it's been interpreted, and the Warren Court ...
