Bill O’Reilly Vs. Hillary Clinton Tonight
Bill O’Reilly has been trying to get Hillary Clinton to come on “The O’Reilly Factor” for about seven years, and tonight she will finally appear in the No Spin Zone!
Listen to a sneak Peek audio clip of the interview at johnny dollar’s place.
As expected the far-left blogs are simmering with rage over Clinton’s appearance on The Factor. They constantly rail on about how Fox News isn’t a “real” news network and Hillary’s appearance only gives them “legitimacy”.
Clearly the left bloggers have been camped out in cyberspace for too long, because more people watch Fox News than all the other cable news networks combined.
What really outrages the left is that Fox News is the only channel that doesn’t constantly shill for Democrats 365 days a year. Fox prefers to offer their audience both sides of a debate as opposed to only the left-wing side.

Feds: No Recession Yet
It appears that we’re not yet in a recession (much to the chagrin of Democrats) at least according to the latest numbers released today.
The economy grew by 0.6 percent for the first quarter, which is not good but better than analysts were expecting.
The country’s economic growth during January through March was the same as in the final three months of last year, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. The statistic did not meet what economists consider the classic definition of a recession, which is a retraction of the economy. This means that although the economy is stuck in a rut, it is still managing to grow, even if modestly.
Some analysts predicted growth of around 0.5 percent for the first quarter, and some even predicting negative growth. Now those same analysts have changed their minds and are predicting negative growth for the current April-June period.

Ex-Saddam Aide Tariq Aziz Goes On Trial
Anyone who’s watched news coverage about Iraq over the last 25 years or so has probably seen Tariq Aziz. He was a part of Saddam Hussein’s inner circle from the first day the dictator took power. However, unlike ‘Chemical Ali’ and the rest of Saddam’s henchman, Aziz was never a strong man for the regime.
He was more or less the public face of Saddam’s Iraq. He was the one who spoke for Iraq at the UN and traveled to America for diplomatic meetings. Charges against Aziz stem from the murder of 42 merchants by Saddam’s regime, killed because Saddam thought they were apart of a conspiracy to raise food prices at a time when Iraq was under strict sanctions as a result of the 1991 Gulf War.
Iraqi prosecutors claim that Aziz had complicity in the murders, because as a member of Saddam’s Revolutionary Command Council his signature was on the execution orders. Though his signature was on the certificates it’s worth mentioning that Aziz had no choice but to sign the orders.
Even though his role in the regime was a diplomatic one, as a member of Saddam’s inner circle his signature being on the execution orders was more a formality than anything else. Had he not signed the papers, he would have been the next one to be executed.
Aziz is a devout catholic, and the only known Christian to have ever served in the former Iraqi government. I believe all of Saddam’s top henchman deserved to be hanged without a doubt, but I do have some reservations about Tariq Aziz.
If found guilty by the Iraqi courts he will be hanged like Saddam and the rest of his thugs, but I’m not sure death is the appropriate way to deal with Mr. Aziz. Since he had a purely diplomatic role in the regime, the new Iraqi government could use his trial as a way to give the new courts added legitimacy by showing mercy in this instance.
The man is 72 years old and has already suffered a stroke, so he probably won’t live that much longer anyway. So even if he were given only a 5-10 prison sentence, it’s doubtful that he would survive but it would show the Iraqi people that the new court system is fair and just.
That said, I think it’s understandable if the court feels that by going along with Saddam’s mass murder he made himself complicit in the acts. That was the same standard by which the U.S. held Nazi war criminals to after WWII, so that’s certainly a valid argument to make.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Supreme Court Backs States Right To Demand Photo ID For Voting
The Supreme Court ruled today that states can require citizens to show a photo ID to vote. Twenty-five states require some form of ID, and the court’s 6-3 decision rejecting a challenge to Indiana’s strict voter ID law could encourage others to adopt their own measures.
It seems like a no-brainer that people should have to prove who they are before voting, but Democrats of course are adamantly opposed to this.
According to liberals, having to prove who you are will “disenfranchise” poor and elderly voters. That’s total nonsense, and merely a cover for their real grievance.
If people have to prove who they are, it’s going to make it harder for illegal immigrants to vote fraudulently for Democrats. That’s the reason liberals are in a huff about photo ID, because it’s going to cut into the illegal voting block they were counting on in the upcoming election.
Wright Was Right, Then Wrong Again
We are currently enjoying day number two of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright media blitz, and it gets a little worse at every stop.
I watched Rev. Wright on Bill Moyers the other night and was impressed. Keeping in mind that Bill Moyers is a dishonest hack who’s just trying to get Obama elected, I still thought Rev. Wright showed an impressive intellect and made some very good points.
I was even prepared to come in this morning and write what could be perceived as an apology for some of the unfair criticisms I’ve made about Wright. I do think some of the YouTube clips were taken out of context and many in the media have rushed to judgment on the man.
Then Obama’s “crazy uncle” gave the keynote address at yesterday’s NAACP luncheon. It was slightly hysterical, but otherwise a very entertaining speech. The man is about as charismatic as anybody I’ve ever seen.
Then the wheels came flying off the “reconciliation train” so to speak this morning. The good pastor gave a shortened version of the previous day’s speech, this time to The National Press Club and then (much to the chagrin of the Obama campaign I’m sure) he answered questions.
It turns out all those YouTube clips may not have been taken out of context after all. Rev. Wright may just be the anti-American race hustler I thought he was.
His demeanor in front of the press club was arrogant in the extreme. His attitude was dismissive, racist, and dare I say ‘elitist’.
When asked about his comments just 5-days after 9/11 about America’s “chickens coming home to roost” he defended the words.
…“Jesus said do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic, divisive principles.”
When asked if he loves America, he responded:
”I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic?” he asked. “How many years did (Vice President Dick) Cheney serve?”
Instead of taking responsibility for his own statements, Rev. Wright accused the media and other critics of “attacking the black church”.
“The most recent attack is on the black church, it is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright, it is an attack on the black church,” Wright said.
When asked about his relationship to Louis Farrakhan he was again unapologetic:
…So what I think about him, as I’ve said on Bill Moyers and it got edited out, how many other African-Americans or European-Americans do you know that can get one million people together on the mall? He is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century. That’s what I think about him.
Probably the most outrageous thing Rev. Wright did was defend his belief that white people created the AIDS virus as an act of genocide against people of color.
I read different things. As I said to my members, if you haven’t read things, then you can’t — based on this Tuskegee experiment and based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything.
In fact, in fact, in fact, one of the — one of the responses to what Saddam Hussein had in terms of biological warfare was a non- question, because all we had to do was check the sales records. We sold him those biological weapons that he was using against his own people.
So any time a government can put together biological warfare to kill people, and then get angry when those people use what we sold them, yes, I believe we are capable.
He also defended his comparison of Roman soldiers who killed Jesus to the U.S. Marine Corps. if you can believe it.
The Roman oppression is the period in which Jesus is born. And comparing imperialism that was going on in Luke, imperialism was going on when Caesar Augustus sent out a decree that the whole world should be taxed. They weren’t in charge of the world. It sounds like some other governments I know.
That, yes, I can compare that. We have troops stationed all over the world, just like Rome had troops stationed all over the world, because we run the world. That notion of imperialism is not the message of the gospel of the prince of peace, nor of God, who loves the world.
He was asked many more questions which you can both read and watch by following the link to the transcript and video.
While Rev. Wright loves to point the finger at so-called “white America” and “rich white people” who run the country, it is he who should be looking inward at the hypocrite and race hustler within himself.
At one point in today’s presentation in response to a question, he said that America is the only country that has refused to “apologize” for slavery and for the injustices done to black people.
He said we can never bridge the divide or begin the healing until we as a nation (white people) apologize. The harsh reality is that most divides have already been bridged, unfortunately pastor Wright never got the memo.
What I mean is that the issues which divided the whites and blacks of Rev. Wright’s generation don’t divide today’s young people. Socio-economic inequalities still exist in some places for sure, but that’s not because of racism. Some areas may still be effected by the racist policies of the past, but white people are not preventing blacks from getting ahead.
People in my generation (18-36) don’t even think about race issues. We’ve moved beyond racial issues of previous generations, but people like Rev. Wright want to keep pulling us backward.
Jeremiah Wright is no different than Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Louis Farrakhan. All of them make a living trying to convince black folks that “white devils” are still trying to keep them down. He speaks bitterly of continued black oppression to a congregation that until recently included Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama.
Yet the irony of that completely escapes him.
Wright is a hypocrite, because while giving speeches about “rich white people” he’s building a multi-million dollar mansion in a gated community that is 97% white.
Rev. Wright is an arrogant, racist, bitter, and divisive individual who cares more about hearing himself thunder away on television than about black people.
If he really cared about black people he wouldn’t be sabotaging the chance for the first black man to be elected president.
He knows that his ridiculous and offensive statements are going to hang Obama out to dry, but he doesn’t care.
