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.

POPS It’s Never Too Soon To Panic … Only one possible explanation. They’re public-health conscious, exercising common sense, maybe a little scared … and racist! Related, not so different, Hot Air mulls the sweeping new hate crimes legislation. O, such a minefield. Surber on diversity traning that backfired, when officials insensitively and hurtfully specified words must not be uttered. Meanwhile, it’s the hurtfully insensitive Other McCain, with another insensitive Rule No. 5 Sunday. * Surber documents the shift from “global warming” to “our deteriorating atmosphere.”

POPSJesse Helms is Dead Mike Signorile definitely speaks for many LGBT people and our friends in his July 4th blog posting. Although, as I said in a piece I clipped yesterday, I do not take joy in the death of another human being. But in the case of Helms, it is hard to find even a core of sympathy or remorse at his passing. In his professional lifetime, he sent many innocent and good people to their deaths due to his hatemongering and homophobia. If he could not cry for us, how can we cry for him?

POPSBill O'Reilly Must Go!! This is not a matter of free speech. This is the matter of a well known, extremely popular and influential media maven, who is suggesting that if Michelle Obama actually has some negative feelings about the country, she should be lynched. Don Imus was thrown off the air for referring to a women's basketball team as "nappy headed ho's." David Schumer, a well respected and generally fair-minded journalist was suspended for suggesting employing a poor choice of words regarding Chelsea Clinton's participation in her mom's presidential primary campaign. But Bill O'Reilly, for some reason has been declared untouchable by Fox News after making this hateful and racist comment, not the first time I might add that he has used similar inflammatory language. It is time for the public to demand that O'Reilly be held accountable for his irresponsible and hateful speech. Please call or email Fox and demand his removal from our airwaves.
