White House Crashers Met Obama Before, Husband Linked To Anti-Israel Group

One of the big stories over the last few days was the couple who crashed the State Dinner at the White House and posted the photos all over their Facebook page.

The obvious question: How could they do this? Anyone who has been to the White House can tell you, there is a list you have to be on to get in, even as a guest of an invitee, and that is after you provide certain information about yourself beforehand to the Secret Service. Then, you have to have photo ID checked at the security gate.

So, the intrigue thickens when it was revealed that this couple from Virginia, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, met Obama before, back in 2005 (WND).

While hand-wringing continues in the White House and among Secret Service officials over an alleged gate-crashing of a state dinner, it appears Michaele and Tareq Salahi had met with Barack Obama previously when he served as a U.S. senator.

Though the Secret Service is taking the rap for the breach of protocol, the couple's attorney is affirming the White House had cleared the Salahis as guests at the Tuesday night event.

...Reached by telephone Friday evening, the couple's attorney, Paul W. Gardner, declined to comment. In an e-mail to Bloomberg News, Gardner added, "My clients were cleared by the White House to be there."

Yet, a June 2005 photo from Polo Contacts Worldwide shows the Salahis with Obama at a pre-event to America's Polo Cup. Others in the photo include American Idol's Randy Jackson and members of the rock group Black Eyed Peas.

American Power also revealed that Salahi is linked to an anti-Israel group as well.

...ominously, it turns out that Tareq Salahi, the polo-playing intruder, is a Palestinian nationalist with ties to the American Task Force on Palestine (ATFP) , a pro-Palestine lobby demanding the "right of return" for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants. The "right of return" has long been considered the backdoor to Israel's destruction. But not only that: ATFP President Ziad Asali is an America-basher who blamed 9/11 on U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Asali was a lead U.S. official to PLO terrorist Yassir Arafat's funeral in 2004. And in a position paper in 2007, the ATFP called for a power-sharing agreement at the Palestinian Authority, which would have included the State Department's designated-terrorist group, Hamas.

That is in addition to finding out that the ATFP's former vice president was Rashid Khalidi, a militant supporter of Palestine linked to the terrorist PLO. Gateway Pundit reminds us that the LA Times refused to release a videotape last fall before the election, showing a party for Khalidi which "That One" attended, that became a "Jew Bash."

I'm suspicious there's more to this story than just the "we snuck into the White House" storyline.

Media Silent On Obama Administration Complicity In Firing Of Inspector General Walpin For Political Reasons

Remember last June, when Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired while investigating misspent money from AmeriCorps?

There's a big stench that leads all the way back to the White House.

John Fund writes about the "Anatomy of a Cover Up," involving more than just misspent funds by Sacramento, CA Mayor (and Obama supporter) Kevin Johnson.

Now a GOP Congressional report by investigative staffers working for Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Rep. Darrell Issa of California has laid bare some of the reasons the White House acted so brazenly.

In 2008, three female students at the St. HOPE Academy, a charter school in Sacramento, claimed inappropriate advances had been made by Mr. Johnson, who ran the school and was running for mayor. Mr. Johnson, a former NBA star, had been plagued by charges of sexual misconduct ever since his days as a player in the 1990s.

Mr. Walpin's investigators concluded that Kevin Hiestand, the attorney for Mr. Johnson, had approached at least one of the complaining students and asked her to remain quiet. About a week later, Mr. Johnson himself offered her a payment of $1,000 a month until she left school, which she refused to accept. Erik Jones, the St. HOPE teacher who eventually reported one of the victims' allegations to the police, resigned in protest, claiming the school also had sought to intimidate the student into changing her story.

In addition to uncovering the possible use of "hush money," Mr. Walpin concluded that the misuse of AmeriCorps funds by St. HOPE was serious enough for him to press for criminal prosecution of Mr. Johnson, by now Sacramento's mayor. Instead, a deal was worked out that allowed the mayor to repay much of the money. It was
approved by Alan Solomont, a major Democratic fundraiser who chairs the federal agency that oversees AmeriCorps.

It was Mr. Solomont who then led the campaign to have the White House fire Mr. Walpin, using trumped-up charges that he had engaged in an inappropriate persecution of Mr. Johnson. Norm Eisen, a White House counsel, upped the ante by claiming that at a May meeting, the inspector general "was confused, disoriented, unable to answer questions and exhibited other behavior that led the Board to question his capacity to serve."

Documents delivered to Senator Grassley and Rep. Issa make it clear the real motive for Mr. Walpin's firing was his aggressive investigation of Mayor Johnson. But Congress shows no interest in pursuing the ruthless firing of a government watchdog. Here's hoping that Senator Joe Lieberman, the Connecticut independent who has shown streaks of independence in the past on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, is willing to press for a hearing on the matter.

Imagine if these allegations had been during the Bush Administration? Remember how liberals raised such a ruckus over the Bush Administration firing of a couple of federal prosecutors, who serve at the convenience of the President. Yet here, we have much more - including sexual misconduct - and there is nothing but silence and a cover-up on the part of the current Administration.

Can you say, "Culture of Corruption?" Not just for the Obama Administration, but the Democrat Party and their lapdog media.

Weeks After Limbaugh Ousted From NFL Team Ownership, Obama & NFL Join Forces In Thanksgiving Advertisement

During the Thanksgiving Day football games, President Barack Hussein Obama took part in an advertisement with NFL Play 60, a program designed to fight childhood obesity, as his "United We Serve" campaign joined up with the NFL.

Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters reminds us of the way the NFL forced out one of "That One's" critics, Rush Limbaugh, a few weeks ago:

So the President is using the high-profile NFL, during high-profile games, to advance HIS message.

And media don't see anything wrong with that. I'm not sure they'd be so accepting if the President catching passes from Drew Brees in order to advance HIS message was George W. Bush.

Yet, there's another question here: what is the NFL getting in return, if anything?

Consider what Rush Limbaugh had to say about Obama's connection to the NFL back in October when the conservative talk radio host was forbidden to be a part owner of the St. Louis Rams...Exactly five weeks later, the NFL and the White House teamed up for a joint initiative.

Imagine that.

The timing sure does look funny.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all regular readers, and to those who may be here for the first time, I'd like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels, if you're off to visit family, friends, etc. I'm thankful for your readership and support, and for the increasing support you've given over the last few months.

Special thanks, thoughts, prayers and best wishes go to those serving our nation overseas and their families back home. Thank you for your service, and for keeping us free.

Terrorist Who Masterminded Killing & Torching Of Four Americans In Iraq Captured, Navy SEALS Who Captured Him FACE CHARGES

Remember the gruesome sight of four American contractors who were murdered in Fallujah, Iraq; their bodies set on fire and hung from a bridge in 2004?

Well, the terrorist who masterminded the killings was captured. However, his captors--three US Navy SEALS--are being charged with assault, if you can believe that (Fox News).

The three, all members of the Navy's elite commando unit, have refused non-judicial punishment — called an admiral's mast — and have requested a trial by court-martial.

Ahmed Hashim Abed, whom the military code-named "Objective Amber," told investigators he was punched by his captors — and he had the bloody lip to prove it.

Now, instead of being lauded for bringing to justice a high-value target, three of the SEAL commandos, all enlisted, face assault charges and have retained lawyers.

Four Americans are brutally killed and this Administration is worried about a bloody lip on the mastermind of the attack? Screw him! This kid glove treatment of our terrorist enemy is an outrage and will lead to the kind of second guessing that will get more of our troops killed.

To hell with capturing these scum. Give them a bullet between the ears, wrap them in pigskin and bury them. If you bring them back alive, you'll be treated by this administration as a war criminal and the terrorist will get a civilian trial in New York, choice of any pro-bono Alqueda Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawyer, and make his case of how the United States sucks.

RedState notes this is the case in the era of Obama: Soldiers Treated Worse Than Terrorists in Barack Obama’s America. Where treasonous Democrat politicians get their panties in a knot about mistreatment of al-Queda terrorists but silent when Americans are beheaded or mutilated and burned after their killing.

9/11 Families Hold Press Conference Protesting Civilian Trial for KSM In New York, Rally Scheduled December 5th

9/11 Family members held a press conference protesting the decision by Eric Holder to treat the mastermind of 9/11 and other terrorists who unleashed an act of war that day as common criminals.

Fox News video:



Sgt. Tim at 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America was there and writes:

In order of appearance, the speakers today were: Debra Burlingame, co-founder 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America; Congressman Peter King (R-NY); Andrew C. McCarthy, former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and prosecutor in the trial of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; Tim Brown, founder TheBravest.com; and FDNY firefighter Pete Regan, a Marine veteran of two tours of Iraq and the son of 9/11 FDNY firefighter Donald Regan, of Rescue 3.

Here is the audio of the press conference.

Related to this subject is the following interview with David Beamer, father of United 93 hero Todd Beamer.



The 9/11 Families are holding a rally opposing the Obama Administration's decision to treat these terrorists like criminals on Saturday, December 5th at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan. If you can't make it and want to support, feel free to sign the petition, which now has 120,000 signatures.

Authorities Say Census Worker Found Dead With "Fed" Scrawled On Body Committed Suicide: "Icarus" Johnson Refuses To Apologize For Smear

A census worker found dead in mid-September hanging from a tree with the word "Fed" scrawled on his body killed himself in a way to make it appear he was murdered, according to authorities (KSN.com).

A news release from Kentucky State Police said Tuesday that Bill Sparkman died at the same location where his body was found Sept. 12th near a cemetery in a heavily wooded area of southeastern Kentucky.

A man who found the body in the Daniel Boone National Forest said the 51-year-old was bound with duct tape, gagged and had an identification badge taped to his neck.

Investigators say Sparkman acted alone in manipulating the scene to conceal the suicide.

The news release says Sparkman had recently taken out two life insurance policies that would not pay out for suicide.

Since Sparkman's death occurred around the same time as the September 12th Tea Party in Washington DC, a certain pony tailed, bike riding libel blogger took the opportunity to blame "anti-government sentiment" for the death, at the same time urging his five lizards "not to jump to conclusions."

Today, Icarus Johnson refuses to apologize for jumping to conclusions in Sparkman's death.



As a reminder, this is how he responded to the Ft. Hood jihad.

But let's not jump to conclusions when the shooter yells "Allah Akbar," right Chuckie?

R.S. McCain has more (and more here). Legal In-sur-rec-tion also lists others besides "Icarus" who owe apologies.

Glo-BULL Warming IS A Fraud--Proven. Inhofe Calls For Probe Of IPCC

A bombshell happened over the weekend, or, the term "mushroom cloud" applies more than "smoking gun."

Somehow, a blogger in Great Britian got a hold of a ton of e-mails which were hacked out of a computer system of University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit. The content of the e-mails are amazing.

John Coleman, a veteran weatherman who has been at the forefront of fighting the glo-BULL warming fraud, writes about it here.

Sen. James Inhofe is calling for a hearing into this "research" on "climate change."

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) announced he would probe whether the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) "cooked the science to make this thing look as if the science was settled, when all the time of course we knew it was not."

"[T]his thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with," Inhofe, the ranking member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said during the interview.

He added that it was "interesting" that the e-mails surfaced only weeks before an important climate change summit would bring world leaders to Copenhagen.

Fueling Inhofe's concerns is last week's news that a blogger hacked into the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (Cru) and published about 1,000 e-mails and more than 3,000 private documents relating to climate change.

Some of those communications disparaged climate change skeptics and their views, while others contained conversations about how to best portray climate change research.

Inhofe appeared yesterday on America's Morning News, with Melanie Morgan and Jed Babbin of Human Events (audio below).



I'd be nervous if I were algore. The gravy train he's been riding promoting this snake oil may be crashing.

KSM & Other 9/11 Suspects Will Use Trial To Attack America

A deaf, dumb and blind person could have seen this show trial coming (Fox News).

The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.

Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but "would explain what happened and why they did it."

The U.S. Justice Department announced earlier this month that Ali and four other men accused of murdering nearly 3,000 people in the nation's deadliest terrorist attack will face a civilian federal trial just blocks from the World Trade Center site.

Ali, also known as Ammar al-Baluchi, is a nephew of professed 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Mohammed, Ali and the others will explain "their assessment of American foreign policy," Fenstermaker said.

"Their assessment is negative," he said.

Can you say, "OJ Redux?"

Not only that, but Gateway Pundit links to this from the FOX Nation:

Defence lawyers were sure to apply to have the charges dismissed after Mr Obama made an overarching effort to reassure Americans that the decision to put Mohammed on trial at a federal court in New York was sound.

Thanks Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder, for giving the terrorists this propaganda platform to attack America again, not far from where 3,000 were slaughtered by these same scum.

Is anyone brave enough yet to call for impeachment?

Barack Hussein Obama Fears Private Citizen Sarah Palin

Need proof?

His goon squad of mind-numbed goose steppers, Astroturfing for Obama (led by Mitch Stewart), sent the following e-mail today, asking for money (what's left of it, after they tax us to death) to fight a private citizen who wrote a book and communicates on Facebook.

Remember, this is the person who coined the term "Death Panels" -- and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.

Whatever lie comes next will be widely covered by the media, then constantly echoed by right-wing attack groups and others who are trying to defeat reform.

As we approach the final sprint on health reform, we can't afford more deception and delay. We need to be ready for anything -- and have the resources to respond with ads, events, and calls to Congress when the attacks come.

So we're setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies

Well, I invoke Joe Wilson and say to Mitch Stewart "YOU LIE!" Death Panels are true. What happens after (as proposed in these bills) Medicare is cut to pay for Obamacare? That means if one of your parents has, say, a bump on their aorta or any other life-threatening malady, the government will tell them to just go home and die.

And if you're a woman under 50, don't get checked out for breast cancer because that's a frivolous expense. So if you're in your 40s and have breast cancer, you'll die. Is it any wonder that nations with socialized medicine have horrible survival rates for women with breast cancer? Yes, our health care system, which Obama and liberal Democrats want to do away with, leads the world in treating breast cancer.

Liberals are such hypocrites. When it comes to abortion, they've have lectured us over the years that woman's medical decisions should be between her and her doctor. Their Obamacare take over of health care will put the government and several bureaucracies between you and your doctor making your medical decisions.

Father of United 93 Hero Todd Beamer Rips Apart Holder's Absurd Decision To Try KSM In New York

David Beamer, the father of an American Hero, Todd Beamer, wrote a great editorial in the Wall Street Journal ripping apart the absurd decision to try a war criminal, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, in civilian court.

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee met to question Attorney General Eric Holder about his decision to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others in criminal courts rather than military tribunals. As the father of Todd Beamer, who died on United Airlines Flight 93, I was able to attend that hearing. What transpired caused me great concern and shook my confidence in our current administration.

The committee, chaired by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.), displayed the division in our country not only visually—the Democrats were seated on the left and the Republicans on the right—but in every aspect of the proceedings. I expected that some members would agree with Mr. Holder and that others would have challenging questions about his decision. What I did not anticipate was the level of partisanship showed by the majority party. It seemed clear to me and other family members of victims that party loyalty is trumping concern for America's security interests.

Exactly right! Democrats for the last eight years threw aside their phony "pledge of unity" on the afternoon of 9/11 and politicized this war when it became politically expedient. When they came to power, they showed how phony that pledge was. Bottom line: As with the debate over health-care and the War on Terror, Democrats always put party before country.

...Mr. Holder said that he and his boss had not spoken in person about this decision. This matter only involves upholding the constitutional rights of Americans, establishing a precedent with battlefield impact, and the safety and security of our citizens in a time of war. What are the criteria to make something a priority with President Barack Obama? How can it be that this matter didn't make the cut?

The Democrats used much of their questioning time to heap praise upon Mr. Holder. They all repeated the same trope: We'll show the world that America can conduct these trials openly in criminal courts. And we'll be successful, even as we convey rights to the defendants that are not warranted.

Since when has "show the world" been a primary objective?

No thoughtful questions from the majority party regarding this decision were forthcoming. Their questions mostly addressed other matters. They discussed overcrowding in our prisons (too many drug criminals being sentenced), asked why none of the $500 million in appropriations have helped the rape-kit processing backlog, and inquired about when recommendations for additional staff would be presented for confirmation. Their lack of attention to the pressing matter at hand suggested apathy.

...Our enemies must be thrilled. We are willingly handing them an opportunity to inflict economic harm on New York City, keep their cause in the headlines, gather new intelligence, create new terror strategies, stimulate recruiting, celebrate new-found rights, and foist a fresh round of pain and suffering upon their victims.

All being done with the rubber stamp approval of the Democrat Party and their activist base, like Media Matters.

Northern Virginia Doctors Rally Against Obamacare In McLean, VA

Today, as the Senate debates their version of the Obamacare bill, a group of Northern Virginia doctors and medical professionals, as well as Tea Party supporters, rallied in McLean, VA to protest the Democrat's and their government takeover of health-care.

Here's what it looked like, walking up the sidewalk at Old Dominion and Old Chain Bridge Road, in front of the Giant Supermarket, at about 12:30 p.m. today.



One Obamacare supporter came over to argue with some of the doctors. However, in typical lib fashion, "arguing" meant name-calling, as he came over to call them "morons" and then left right after screaming "you're f**kin nuts" to the doctors in the video below.



Though the votes have been close, one attendee told me that the protests, and especially the large numbers coming to DC on 9/12 and the November 5th House Call led by Michele Bachmann "had a profound effect" on Congressional staffers. The attendee went to a Leadership Conference seminar and had a staffer on the Hill remark that the November 5th rally "scared them," since it was on a Thursday and came together in only four days.

Here's more photos of the McLean event. I head a similar event was being held in DC.

One doctor was interviewed by Channel 7, the ABC affiliate in DC.

Sarah Palin Book News: Coming To Fairfax, VA Dec. 5th, S.F. Bay Area Book Stores Practice Censorship, Won't Stock Book

Sarah Palin's book and media tour is charging across America.

The second half of her tour has been announced and she will be appearing in nearby Farifax, VA at BJ's Wholesale Mart on Saturday, Dec. 5th.

To show how much Sarah is making heads explode, and illustrating how phony liberals are, I had the misfortune of coming across a thread at FairfaxUnderground (I won't link) where the liberals who claim such a monopoly on compassion and tolerance wrote sexist, sexually explicit slurs towards here, even illustrated with a couple of graphic photos of body parts.

Liberals in the San Fransicko Bay Area are showing how much they hate free political speech when it comes to her book as well. "Independent" (read: communist) bookstores in the Bay Area won't carry her book (SFGate).

It might as well have cooties. Hardly anyone wants to touch the thing, or even get close to it.

The new autobiography by moose hunter and failed vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is harder to find in the Bay Area than a hockey mom. Some bookstores figure it's one of those grit-your-teeth First Amendment deals that principled booksellers must put up with from time to time.

But many nonchain bookstores won't handle it.

"Our customers are thinking people," said Nathan Embretson, a bookseller at Pendragon Books in Oakland. "They're not into reading drivel."

Thinking people? Funny how elitist liberals like to act smart just to cover up their own stupidity.

...There are no copies of the book at Cover to Cover Booksellers in Noe Valley, either.

"Anything like that we wouldn't carry," said clerk Emily Stackhouse. "We're a small store and it would probably gross us all out. Some things you carry because of freedom of speech, but a book like that is just gross."

One customer did put in a special request for the book one evening but, perhaps thinking better in the light of day, failed to show up and actually pay money for it, Stackhouse said.

Sheryl Cotleur, the head buyer for Book Passage, which operates stores in Corte Madera and San Francisco, said the two stores have sold exactly two copies of the book. That works out to one copy per store.

Cotleur said two other people have asked to look at the book but no one else has asked to buy it.

"Nobody around here is particularly interested in her politics or her opinions," she said. "There's a certain curiosity, sure. But I don't think that translates into what people are willing to pay money for."

Probably because pinko bookstores like Book Passage only cater to far-Left / liberal points of view. They'll have big book signings for the Clintons, Algore, John Glenn or any other liberal. But if you're conservative, forget it!

For those who want a good look at what liberalism will do to America, spend a good amount of time in the Bay Area and you'll see that all the intolerance, suppression of free speech and ideas is all being done by LIBERALS!
