Monday morning quick hits: Gadhafi, Haditha, Dingy Harry & more
Good morning, all.
Woke up early to talk about Communist-whitewashing Rep. Diane Watson on Fox and Friends.
A few quick hits while I get my kids ready for school:
*In case you missed it, make sure to watch the vid of Rep. Carol Shea-Porter ejecting a town hall protester who stood up to challenge a Purple Shirt SEIU mobster.
*I also mentioned on Fox this morning how the Las Vegas Review-Journal is talking back to Bully Harry Reid, who expressed his hope that the pesky newspaper go out of business.
*Where is Haditha Marine-smearing Jack Murtha? The LA Times reports:
The Marine Corps has decided not to seek to reinstate criminal charges against a former battalion commander at Camp Pendleton for a 2005 incident in which his troops killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq.
Instead, the Marine Corps will convene a Board of Inquiry to hear testimony and recommend whether Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani should be demoted to major for purposes of retirement.
Even if such a recommendation is made and then accepted by the Secretary of the Navy, Chessani’s retirement pay would still be based on being a lieutenant colonel.
The Marine Corps had sought to try Chessani for dereliction of duty for not ordering a war-crimes investigation when his Marines killed the 24, including three women and seven children. Chessani, who was not present when the killings occurred, reported to his superiors that the deaths, while tragic, were the result of fighting between Marines and insurgents.
A court-martial judge threw out the charges after ruling that it was improper for a Marine lawyer who investigated the Haditha shootings to sit in on meetings with the general who decided to bring the charges.
The Navy-Marine Corps Court of Appeals agreed with the judge’s ruling and rejected prosecutors’ requests to reinstate the charges. The court, however, said the Marine Corps could begin a new criminal investigation into Chessani’s conduct and then bring new charges.
But Lt. Gen. George Flynn, assigned by the commandant, Gen. James Conway, to decide what course the Marine Corps should take, decided against a new investigation and a resumption of a criminal case.
*And the latest on Gadhafi’s blood-stained camping trip plans:
Community leaders in Englewood claimed victory Sunday in a battle to keep Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi from staying at a residence owned by the Libyan mission to the United Nations.
Some 200 people gathered at the home of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a prominent radio and television personality who lives next door to the Libyan residence on East Palisade Avenue. Speakers, including Gov. Jon Corzine, U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Rep. Steve Rothman (D-9th Dist.), a former Englewood mayor, repeatedly sent a clear message that Gadhafi was not welcome in Englewood — nor any other New Jersey town…
… Today, Wildes said, he will appear in Superior Court seeking an injunction on work at the Libyan residence, which has continued despite a stop-work order issued by the city for code violations.
“I don’t trust a politician from the government of Libya, their emissaries or their agents,” Wildes said. The only assurances Wildes said he will accept are from the State Department in the form of a visa restriction that keeps Gadhafi in Manhattan.
“He should be arrested if brought onto U.S. soil,” Wildes said. “He should be put in the Englewood lockup.”
Nicole DiCocco, spokeswoman for the Libyan embassy in Washington, D.C., declined to comment.

Dingy Harry is running scared? Good Morning All, that is like a second cup of coffee! That and there is now a newspaper I do not wish ill.
I woke up to the news that while Obambi was vacationing his numbers are still in free fall. Thirty percent of the voters in this country will never let go of Obambi’s coat tails but, the other seventy percent have the liberals scared out of their minds.
Intelligence officers do not independently blow up commercial jumbo jets. Authorization for something that heinous comes from the highest levels.
Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed in retaliation for the U.S.S. Vincennes accidently shooting down Iranair flight 655. Therefore, it involved cooperation between Libya and Iran.
Logically, the cooperation and the order to carry out the bombing came from the highest level.
Arrest Gadhafi on sight and charge him with 270 counts of murder.
I wonder if Reid would like to reinstate the Sedition Act from the late 1790s? It was a disaster for Adams and it will be a disaster today…not that it will stop the libs from controlling the news.
*cough*
Dirty Harry Reid, Nancy “The Liar” Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Dodd, Frank, Henry “Nostrildamus” Waxman, Boxer, Waters, Leahy, [add name here] – Running these liberals out of office would go a long way in stopping the socialistic storm clouds that are gathering on the horizen. We have a political climate change that is far more threatening to this country’s survival than any so-called man-made weather related climate change that isn’t happening.
The Dingy Harry story made Drudge-this is good. Right below that is a story
57% Would Like to Replace Entire Congress
That is a hopeful story IF the greater majority of that 57% mean their own CongressCritter and Senator.
The fly in the ointment:
In fact, a modest plurality of Democrats would now vote to keep the legislators. Last fall, a plurality of Democrats were ready to throw them all out.
A number of years ago there was the Paul Revere Society promoting “Don’t Re-elect Anybody”. An idea worth considering?
Since I live in Las Vegas, I read nearly every post over at the Review Journals website.
This has to be the most comments they have ever received on an article.
Harry Reid is a bully.
All democrats are bullys at heart.
Some of them like Harry have the power to bully. Not physically, but through connections.
The RJ is not as right leaning as some would have you think. It appears to be right leaning when compared to our other puplication. The Sun.
The Sun is the bastion of liberalism hear ine the valley.
So I encourage everyone to go over to the RJ and read that article. It is a beauty.
Why not instead go for eminent domain and turn the property into a memorial park.
Very shortly the only followers Obama will have left are his chronic parasitic constituents including the union thugs that will continue to frantically scrounge for more “free stuff” from the nanny government.
Hey I heard Dingy Harry was a land swindler — Any truth?
Michael Wildes is the
democratsocialist mayor of Englewood.Once again, nothing more than repeat posturing – and that only because they think that it would help them politically – from members of the dangerous, America-hating, clownish, phony, hypocritical socialist party; whose policies and actions over the past at least 40-45 years have been responsible for bringing us to this disgusting situation in the first place.
Phhtt….Whatever these dangerous fools say – and a dollar – will get you a cup of coffee.
i just recieved the funniest email about dingy harry and spin. it seems dingy harry’s past relation was a horse thief and train robber and hung in montana in the 1880′s or so. a picture of him on the gallows is in the email. then a press release from the dingy camp claims harry’s relative was an investor in horses and worked in railroads. he was a key component with the pinkertons in capturing a dangerous escaped convict (him) and died when he was attending a civic function and the stage he was on collapsed. LOL
cheapseat–sounds like a scene from ‘Blazing Saddles’.
The Dems are out to rule the world, and we are just in the way. Don’t forget Marx said that to set up a UTOPIA, you must get rid of 20 to 30 percent of the population who will just never cooperate.
Las Vegas Review-Journal: “Doctor, I have noticed a hitch in my giddyup. Seems like I don’t walk like I used to.”
Doctor: “Let’s see you walk around.”
LVRJ: “See what I mean…its like a little limp or swagger.”
Doctor: “Drop your pants and let’s see…”
(exams closely)
Doctor: “Why son…those are testicles emerging!”
LVRJ: “Really!?! Wow! I’m the first newspaper I know that has any. Won’t my ancestors be proud!”
Nevada radio airwave spamming continues this morning.
KXNT 840 AM is being spammed by NEA
Add 95.5 FM the leading country music station to the spam list
These are just the ones I know about
Who is it that is spamming the radio airwaves
Why it is talk radio hating NEA
And for who are they spamming the airwaves
HARRY REID
funniest waste of money ever….

HI MISTERP #15. If the marxist / communist agenda ever comes to fruition in the new U.S.S.A. there will be a lot of 1776 style “community organizing” going on by the dangerous 20-30 percent of us who served in the military and remember our oath to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE THE UNITED STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. The enemies are in view now.
***
If our Constitution is ever suspended, if our right to vote or speak out is taken away–it will be time to show our “democRAT” / liberal / socialist / statist / marxist / communist masters why we were given a SECOND AMENDMENT right.
***
Man (and Woman!) up and vote out the clowns in 2010. And show President Obama (PBUH) real Hope and Change (and the DOOR) in 2012. I thought it was telling that our Justice Department has already identified those who serve and served in the U.S. Military as their (not our country’s)enemies.

Yeah, brilliant idea…NOT! With the mental giants in the current Obama Administration having a soft spot for terrorists, why in the world would we want to:
a) Mirandize him?
b) Give him Constitutional rights afforded U.S. citizens?
c) Have the likes of Diane Feinstein, and Namby Pelosi deciding his adjudication?
His fate should be the fate of all terror supporting Islams…death on the battelfield, NOT capture and prosecution.
Rules of Engagement need to change for civilization (ironic, huh?) to survive. We should not be offering tea, when bullets are the better alternative.
Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
“I have the power to destroy you.”
Watch the video:
* The guy was ejected not for anything to do with the purple shirt guy, but for speaking out of turn and insulting her. He stands at about 60 seconds. The purple shirt stands and claps about 15 seconds later. She has him thrown out when he asks where she’s from.
* One purple shirt stands for a few seconds, says nothing, then sits. The video gives no indication that he is a criminal (“Mobster”). Calling a private person a mobster like this is slander. Does MM have insurance against this kind of lawsuit?
Question for the bunch: who think’s MM’s characterization of the video is accurate? Who sees the ejected guy confronting the SEIU shirted guy? Who sees the SEIU do anything criminal?
It’s about time that the elected cr@p in NJ did something about Gadhafi. Too bad the federal gov didn’t prevent him from coming to the US. The UN needs to move to an isolated island.
lgm:
Answer for the dunce: I do.
Now, get back to your Trolling for Dummies book. You clearly haven’t read the advanced chapters yet.
You were on F&F, and I missed it?
Can I get a mulligan on this morning, say from 4:30?
We are being taken over by Marxists. We’d better wake up before it’s too late. When the Jones and Watson’s of this world openly preach to the sheep about radical beliefs and revolution, we have to take them at their word.
Las Vegas Review-Journal Publisher Sherman Frederick was on the local NPR station this AM. He’s been trying to read the responses to his editorial, but they are up in the 1000′s now (almost 4,000 when I last looked).
Didn’t see anything on the NPR site yet:

After reading the post about the Girls Gone Wild stripper pole doll,what a pleasure it is to re-read Michelle’s intro here.”While getting my kids ready for school”
A mom who really deserves the honor of raising children.
Fail.
1. Look up the definition of slander.
2. YOU used the word criminal. Michelle didn’t.
She doesn’t need insurance. She can self insure and absorb all risk. The risk is minimal, but I’d LOVE to see the guy attempt to justify a damage calculation!
