Barack Obama To Appear On O’Reilly Thursday
According to Politico, Barack Obama will finally appear on The O’Reilly Factor this Thursday.
Barack Obama will appear on Fox News’ “O’Reilly Factor” Thursday night, a Democratic source tells Politico.
The move is timed to counterprogram John McCain’s speech to the Republican National Convention, which is likely to drive Fox’s ratings sky-high and to give Obama access to a conservative audience.
With McCain’s big speech and now Obama’s O’Reilly appearance, Thursday is shaping up to be one hell of a night.

Gore Vidal Says John McCain Is No War Hero
For a guy the NY Times affectionately labels “one of America’s last public intellectuals,” Gore Vidal might be the dumbest man alive.
In an interview with the NY Times that ran yesterday, Vidal was asked what he thought about John McCain. Here’s what was said:
…what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?
Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. That’s what he tells us.
Why would you doubt him? He’s a graduate of Annapolis. I know a lot of the Annapolis breed. Remember, I’m West Point, where I was born. My father went there.
Yeah, who the hell started that rumor? I guess Gore Vidal thinks the reason John McCain can’t lift his arms above his chest is because he got stoned and fell off someone’s roof back in the day. I guess the extensive video footage of him being held by those Vietnamese looking fellas was an elaborate hoax.
If Gore Vidal wants to keep the ruse going about him being an “intellectual” he should get back on his meds immediately.

Q & A With American Al-Qaeda Spokesman Adam Gadahn PART 4
Q & A With American Al-Qaeda Spokesman Adam Gadahn PART 3
Q & A With American Al-Qaeda Spokesman Adam Gadahn PART 2
Q & A With American Al-Qaeda Spokesman Adam Gadahn PART 1
Here are a series of clips I came across of a Q & A with Adam Gadahn better known as “Azzam The American.” This kid was born in California and at some point converted to Islam and became radicalized.
He is wanted for treason among other things, and U.S. intelligence agencies are reporting that he has risen all the way to no. 3 spokesman for Al-Qaeda. He is believed to actually be traveling with Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Zawahri.
This series of clips is actually very interesting, because he is asked questions that many Americans have always wanted the answers to. He discusses Al-Qaeda ideology, etc. in perfect English.
Note the faux accent, as if he English is his second language. The guy is from California!!!

Cheney Says Murtha and Dingell Don’t Have “Big Sticks”
Vice President Cheney warned in an interview with The Politico that a premature withdrawal from Iraq would invite “further attacks” against the United States and said he has been surprised by the weakness of the Democratic Congress.
The funny part of the interview is when he taunts the Democratic leadership. He talked about Democratic Reps. John Dingell and John Murtha, scoffing at the idea of two men who spent years accruing so much power showing so much deference to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the big debates of the year.
Murtha “and the other senior leaders … march to the tune of Nancy Pelosi to an extent I had not seen, frankly, with any previous speaker,” Cheney said. “I’m trying to think how to say all of this in a gentlemanly fashion, but [in] the Congress I served in, that wouldn’t have happened.”
“They are not carrying the big sticks I would have expected.”
Rep. Rahm Emanuel got wind of the Vice President’s talk of sticks and fired back,
“Some of us were surprised that the president didn’t have a bigger stick when he could have stood up to Dick Cheney.”
Cheney also left no doubt that he takes pride in the most-criticized policies of the Bush administration, including the wiretapping of suspected terrorists, and the long-term imprisonment and aggressive interrogation of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
“We’ve been very successful,” he said. “It’s not an accident; it’s because those programs have been there.”
The Vice President also made the prediction that Iraq will be a self-sustaining Democracy by 2009.
But Cheney said that by the middle of January 2009, it will be clear that “we have in fact achieved our objective in terms of having a self-governing Iraq that’s capable for the most part of defending themselves, a democracy in the heart of the Middle East, a nation that will be a positive force in influencing the world around it in the future.”
One thing you have to admire about Dick Cheney and President Bush is their willingness to do what they think is right, even in the face of withering criticism. Say what you want about the Bush Administration, but the fact remains that we haven’t been attacked again.
I’m also glad that Cheney brought up the one fact everyone is aware of, but refuses to acknowledge. Republicans really do have “bigger sticks” than Democrats.
