Oops: So much for that vaunted Lebanese technology. Didn’t we hear Chipmunk Cheeks bragging about how great the Lebanese weapons were over Israel’s? You know, while he’s in hiding in some undisclosed location for fear of a Hellfire missile with his name on it? And oh yeah–Hezbollah is targeting Israelis the world over. In the name of “resistance”. Killing tourists, because, gee, that’s about as brave an operation as could be planned by the man who has been in hiding for, um, how many years now? It’s been so long, I forgot. Six? Seven?
Find the bias in this AP story: Let’s start with the headline.
Database win for GOP could tip White House race
What’s the story about? It’s about Republicans trying to prevent voter fraud by non-citizens voting in U.S. elections. But the AP tells you this is what it’s really about:
But Republicans count it as a victory nonetheless in their broad-based fight over voter eligibility, an issue that could play a big role in the White House race. That’s especially true in pivotal states such as Florida, Colorado, Nevada and North Carolina.
Republican officials in several states say they are trying to combat voter fraud. Democrats, however, note that proven cases of voter fraud are rare. They accuse Republicans of cynical efforts to suppress voting by people in lower socio-economic groups who tend to vote Democratic.
Oh, it’s rare, so we shouldn’t combat it. Some neighborhoods in Philadelphia had over 100% voter turnout, but there’s no voter fraud. None whatsoever. It’s so rare, nobody even notices it.
What heavy weapons? More dead civilians, more denials from Syria, more severe frowns from the world community. Nope, we won’t be intervening in Syria. It’s an election year. Forget about Obama doing anything. Well, except have the CIA secretly arm the rebels.
The Hamas wish list: Ismael Haniyeh thinks that the new Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt will protect Gaza from Israel and lift the blockade. Why would he think that, we wonders? Hm. Let’s try to figure it out. Oh, wait, I’ve got it–because Morsi told him as much when they met?
What’s this? Egypt blockades Gaza too? Why haven’t I heard anything about this? Surely if it were true the western media and progressives would be striving to end it, as their only concern is the oppressed Gazans.
It’s the PLO and Abu Mazen who are opposed to Egypt liberalizing the link with Gaza. This would make Hamas more powerful and more of a threat to the PLO. Western Huffington Post liberals of course blame the Jews.
