POPSPope calls for Israel to be wiped off the map When asked whether his latest statements have anything to do with the fact that he is German and that his chief speech writer and spiritual advisor was the recently pardoned holocaust denier Richard Williamson. The Pope replied: "I'm 82 you know". When asked how he suggested Israel be wiped off the map, his Holiness replied: "Ahh, good question, um, condoms, oh wait, lack of condoms, banning condoms, it's one of those isn't it?". Speaking from his Los Angeles mansion, a drunk, naked and slurring Mel Gibson was quoted as saying: "You go Popie, see I told I was right about those damn Jews". He then passed out in a pot plant.

POPSIran ex-monarch's son urges Israel to back rioters Some sound advice, as long as Israel is invited by the groups trying to overthrow the current dictatorship in Iran. Israel also needs to get in and get back out, otherwise trouble would arise. I really feel for the people of Iran. Good people being surpressed, controlled, and even killed by an Evil Government. The government wants to speak for the people, the people want to speak for themselves.

POPSInterview with an Iranian demonstrator: "don't leave us alone" One Iranian demonstrator, in a phone interview with CNN American Morning, pleads with the world to intervene on behalf of the protestors. He is very direct and forthright and calls on Obama to treat the current Iranian regime as criminal and "insane." This isn't what I would have expected him to say.

POPSUnderstanding the Age of Obama 3. The Private Sector. Nationalizing much of the auto and financial industries, while regulating executive compensation, is an indication of our new government's repeatedly stated reluctance to interfere in the private sector. 4. Race and Gender. Not what is said but who says it and about whom reveals racism and sexism. For example, an Hispanic female judge isn't being offensive if she states that Latinas are inherently better judges than white males. 5. Random violence. Some assassinations represent larger American pathologies, but others do not. When a crazed lone gunman murders someone outside the Holocaust Museum or shoots an abortion doctor, we should worry about growing right-wing and Christian extremism. But when an African-American Muslim convert brags about his murder of a military recruitment officer or an Islamic group plots to kill Jews and blow up a military jet, these are largely isolated incidents without larger relevance.

POPS1952 Outbreak Still, back then, officials could not quiet the fear that gripped Far Rockaway and nearby communities, even though they reminded people that the disease was not spread casually. Carol Schwartz, Eddie’s sister, recalls going to a friend’s house to bake brownies. “I was completely healthy,” she said recently, “but her mother screamed at me to get out. Thankfully, some aspects of health care have changed since 1952. At Meadowbrook Hospital on Long Island, where doctors established a makeshift quarantine ward for the Hi-Li campers, Eddie was allowed no direct contact with his family. His parents could only wave to him from a nearby window. But good memories have persisted, too. He returned for several summers afterward, and by age 12 he had decided on his own career. Today, at 63, he is the rabbi at Temple Beth Shalom in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y “After that summer,” he said, “my mother would always tell me I had been saved for a purpose.”

POPSBill Moyers: "Why aren't we talking about guns?" But please, there are already some 200 million, privately owned firearms in America. Every year there are 30,000 gun deaths and in some years more than 400,000 non-fatal, gun-related assaults. The next time someone wades through a pool of blood to sidle up and champion the preservation of firearms, can't we just say, no thanks ? Enough's enough. To quote Bill Hicks, There's no connection (and you'd be a fool & a communist to make one) between having a gun & shooting someone, and not having a gun & not shooting someone.

POPSDefining the World by their Prejudices Because, they believe, the shooter hated Jews, he had to be a “right-winger” because the right wing is the source for anti-Semitism in America. Such an attitude shows that while they accuse those of us on the right of living in the past, their understanding of anti-Semitism dates back at least forty years. Their views of conservatives have little to do with the reality of the conservative movement in America today, indeed, with the conservative movement as it has been evolving at least since William F. Buckely, Jr. launched the National Review in 1955. And yet, all too many in the MSM, equally clueless about the ideas undergirding American conservatism, don’t challenge them on their misunderstanding.

POPSPropaganda Buster--Iran's Jews Vote for Ahmadinejad So much for the demonizing "Hitler" propaganda from the Zionists in both Israel and America, which includes the US media networks, as well as neoconservatives and radio talk show pundits. The Jews of Iran consider Ahmadinejad no threat, as do many other orthodox Jews in Israel, the U.S. and (the once) Great Britain, many of which oppose both Israel and Zionism too! Note the first clip is from a Israeli-Jewish media source, albeit spinning their own slant to distort the motive of this fact which refutes their own propaganda.

POPSRight-wing media and the fringe: A growing history of violence (and denial)
While right-wing media are certainly not legally culpable for any recent attacks, they are responsible for promoting a culture of fear, paranoia, and violence that is anti-government in the extreme -- a culture in which extremists, including von Brunn and Richard Poplawski, who fatally shot three Pittsburgh police officers, were apparently immersed. Poplawski was convinced that the Obama administration was going to take away his guns. Even though no evidence of such a policy exists, right-wing commentators and news organizations made the claim repeatedly before the shooting and have continued to do so since. Predictably, conservative media figures responded to the museum shooting by attempting to shift attention away from themselves and onto political liberals and even President Obama himself. On June 10, the day of the museum shooting, financial analyst and radio host Jim Lacamp said on Fox News that "we have an administration that's really done a lot of class warfare, a lot of cla

POPSRabbi Takes Obama to School
In his almost hour-long speech, there is not a single word about Islam’s well known and checkered past. Ironically, the American president offered plenty of references to what he sees are America’s evils, such as its “colonialism” and history of slavery. “For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation,” Obama told his audience, citing a litany of American shortcomings. He failed to mention that Arab Muslims were the greatest slave traders in the history of humanity. Mr. Obama even has the unbelievable gall, when talking about the treatment of Muslim women, to condemn Western countries for attempting to stop Muslim women from using the full facial cover, or hijab. This is a symbol of Muslim subjugation of women. Obama said: “Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should

POPSRight-wing Talk Show’s Ideology of Hate Strikes Again
Are hate mongers keeping a tally of the murders they help create with their hate endorsements? O'Reilly practically ordered Dr Tiller to be assassinated. The airwaves, right wing nuts use free speech as a tool to promote their morally revolting ideology of hate. I’ll bet if it were up to them, they would order anyone who doesn't feel the same kind of animosity they feel towards people deemed unfit, to be taken out, i.e. Dr. Tiller. When I heard that the former U.S. Def. Sec. Wm. Cohen's wife had written a play about an imaginary conversation between 2 teenage victims of HATE, Anne Frank and Emmett Till, I lost it. This should be theater for everyone. Emmett Till: Born: 7/25/41, Chicago, Ill. – beaten and lynched: Aug., 1955 because he was black and dared to whistle, flirtatiously at a white woman. Anne Frank - born 6/12/29 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany who hid for over 2 years from govt. killers in Nazi Germany. She died March 1945, in a concentration camp.

POPS A Suspect's Long History of Hate, and Signs of Strain
"He felt it was the direct result of someone in Washington looking at his Web site." In one of his e-mail blasts expressing his white supremacist views, the man police sources say shot and killed a security guard yesterday at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum told readers that they shouldn't expect to hear from him again. Von Brunn was shot and critically wounded by museum guards. He was about to give away his computer, his primary connection to the fringe world of radical racists. He was living hand to mouth. The e-mails were getting violent in tone: "It's time to kill all the Jews." Von Brunn, who lives in Annapolis, was known for decades to fellow white supremacists who read his elaborate conspiracy theories on his Web site and met him through a network of radical racist groups. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups, has kept an eye on him since 1981. Lately, it has focused on his Web site, www.holywesternempire.org.

POPSWhite Supremacist Guns Down Guard at Holocaust Museum When the smoke cleared, von Brunn was critically wounded. "Two other . . . armed security officers opened fire with their service revolvers," the company said. "The intruder was hit at once" and wounded. Johns died at George Washington University Hospital. "There are no words to express our grief and shock over these events," the museum said in a statement, describing Johns as "an outstanding colleague who greeted us every day with a smile." Johns, a 1988 graduate of Crosslands High School in Temple Hills, lived in an apartment in the Temple Hills area. Friends said he had a son. "It's a heavy loss," said Assane Faye, the Washington district director of the Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. Faye said that during contract negotiations with Wackenhut two years ago, the union pressed for company-issued protective vests. Although Wackenhut seemed open to the idea, vests have not been issued, Faye said.
