Skip to comments.Poll finds most think Obama will win first debate
Posted on 09/30/2012 7:55:46 PM PDT by smoothsailing
September 30, 2012
By Stephen Dinan and Ben Wolfgang
DENVER Mitt Romney has one thing going for him headed into this weeks first presidential debate with President Obama: Voters dont expect him to do very well.
The newest Washington Times/Zogby Poll, released Sunday, found twice as many voters think Mr. Obama will win Wednesdays kickoff affair as think Mr. Romney will win it and among self-identified independents, its even more pronounced.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
New York Post September 30, 2012
Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse tells Fox News he thinks Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will win.
Zogby?? lmao
DFid they call in on their ObamaPhones?
"DFid" = Did. My bad.
Safe bet.
all of the bylines were written weeks ago about Obamas victory at the Debates.
They're just waiting to fill in the blanks withe e heavily editted soundbites.
There is a contest going on as to how many times Obama says "I", "MY", "ME", and "UHHH"
My bet is 50,40,45,and 200
No matter how resoundingly Mitt b-slaps hussein the msm will declare hussein the winner.
Liberal media spins everything for Obama.
I think Obama is going to get schooled.
I agree with this 100%!
This is probably the most useless poll to date.
I'm new here, but I was motivated to register a few days ago when someone declared that we would see headlines the day after the first debate such as "Romney Swings and Misses" and "President Obama Keeps His Cool As Romney Continues to Struggle"... Yes, probably already written and set aside.
Fortunately, I saw something today that made me realize that Obama probably cannot win this election without using every dirty, rotten trick in the book. Enthusiam for Mitt Romney at a major non-partisan event in Hudson County here in New Jersey. Romney probably will not win here, but if the enthusiasm is this big for him here he should be able to coast to a big win in many other parts of the county. Nothing anyone says to me at this point will change my mind about this.
According to the media, it seems 800 poll participants in Ohio will decide the entire election, starting with their prediction of the first debate.
That could be one dangerous drinking game.
Well, duh. obama will be given all the questions in advance, so how can he lose the debate?
Zogby...the registered Dem who tries so hard to tell us he's not.
Know why I won't be watching? Because Obama makes me violently sick. Whenever I see an advertisement of his interrupt a football game, I change the channel immediately. I can't stand this pathetic, marxist, sham of a human being masquerading as President, undermining our individual liberties and pissing on our Constitution every chance he gets. I know who I'm voting for and it's called anyone that can beat this loser and send him packing in November. So, I will find something else to do rather than listen to this anti-American ass spew lies from his piehole for two hours. The mere site of his face disgusts me beyond belief.
Obama cannot win anything...unless the media gives him a script AND the answers along with it.
Kathleen SeBelius should issue a warning about that.
The man has talked us into a coma over the past four ear drum inflaming years. He is in my TV, he is on my computer, he us constantly addressing the nation about stuff I already know about.
The end result is that we figure that he's got the whole "talking us into unconsciousness" thing down.
Same here. I'll probably check in on the live thread here and there for any highlights, but I can't bear to hear/watch the smarmy sycophant media lie for Hussein, pitch softballs to Hussein, and generally kiss Hussein's crusty azz. I certainly can't bear to listen to him dither as he tries to remember what his coach told him to say, or rambles off on tangents using vague high-flown rhetoric. I just really don't put it past the media to have given him the questions in advance.
Will Bath-House Barry have a teleprompter?
If not, he'll be toast.
Considering Journo-list and all the other little tidbits about the media's relation to Hussein that have come to light, don't believe for a second that they wouldn't do that.
AFTER the debate I cannot wait for the media to tell me what I saw and who won. Life is simplified when I can rely on my betters to keep me misinformed.
He may remember to actually answer a few of the questions, if he can remember the answers, considering that the media will likely as not give him the questions in advance. But he still has to remember a few answers even then. I wonder if he'll wear a hat, or have his hair fluffed out?
LOL, I hear you. I'm not watching it either, FR will provide the rundown when it's over.
I find that heartening. Mitt can come across as plastic, but he's become a whole lot better than I thought he'd ever be this past year. If he comes across as a plausible alternative, a plausibly smart guy with some decent answers, it will push things his way.
I remember when Bush stood up to Gore (the so called smartest debater ever), it dawned on people that the preconceptions about the two were wrong.
You don't have to wait for them to tell you the winner, they already have articles written up. Guess who?
I used to think the Washington Times was a somewhat respectable right-of-center rag. Now they're throwing in with Zogby? Man, have they sunk to the gutter.
Zogby's got about as much credibility as Baghdad Bob.
It's rare to find a Democrat who can actually speak the language coherently. Every word he utters may be utter bs, but he does sound good while he's doing it. For the most part.
This is why the left thinks he's a brilliant orator.
I'd rather get an impression for myself, and then see what FR and other conservative sites are saying.
I wonder if the Washington Times is gaming Zogby. The DNC and Obama campaign are doing their best to say Romney is a great debater and he will win.
Then Zogby shows up with his goofy poll screaming Obama wins! LOL!
I agree, the poll helps Romney. The DNC and the Obama camp can't be happy at all with Zogby and his poll. HA!
"This is why the left thinks he's a brilliant orator."
Yes, but the intellect-challenged left don't know Bath-House Barry needed his teleprompters to speak to a sixth grade classroom of kids.
that was classic!
Why bother when your handlers have all of the questions and will be feeding you the answers through a hidden ear piece?
I'm sure you're right, it's his pattern.
I would like to enter but I don't own a TV!
The Media stories praising Obama's "UNEXPECTEDLY BRILLIANT!" Debate performance have already been written, and submitted to MediaMatters for approval.
Unless the SOB has a teleprompter or knows the question beforehand so he can memorize an answer, yes he will sound like your typical 6th grade drop-out gangbanger. Obummer reads good, nothing else.
Romney needs to win with the voters, not MSM in this rigged game, the rest of the traitors or the pollsters.....
Without a teleprompter?
Question #2: Will zero have a teleprompter to keep him from veering off into redistribution, reeducation camps or what happens to those who don't pass reeducation camp?
It's a theory, and if true, would be devilishly devious. Zogby is now one of the worst rated pollsters out there, so you know he's hurting for work.
The folks at The WT, knowing this, and knowing his penchant for skewing things madly in the Dem's direction, could have hired him knowing that he'd pump up expectations for Dem voters, when by all indications, Mitt's gonna whup Obie's behind.
That's one way of looking at it, but I can't for the life of me, see what's in it for the Washington Times.

10 years!
On June 14th 1997 I started my first full-time job at NOB Interactive, the internet branch of Holland's (then) biggest audiovisual company. This means I've been a professional web designer for ten years now, to the day. From HTML 3.2 with lots of frames to tableless semantic XHTML, from 28k8 modems to broadband, from Futuresplash Animator and animated GIF to Flash 9. It's been lots of fun and I hope to be able to keep doing this for a long time.

Watch: Three clips from NBC's 'The Event'
Blair Underwood's the President and Jason Ritter's trying to save the world
What is the event in "The Event"?
We don't know what the event is, but it's got Sean Walker (Jason Ritter) pretty worked up and he's about to peel back the layers to expose what NBC describes as "the biggest cover-up in U.S. history."
Created by Nick Wauters and directed by Jeffrey Reiner ("Friday Night Lights"), "The Event" also stars reliable favorites like Blair Underwood, Željko Ivanek, Scott Patterson and Laura Innes.
Perhaps sensing a "24"-esque vibe, NBC has set "The Event" for 9 p.m. on Monday nights, after "Chuck" and before "Chase."
Check out three clips which give almost no sense at all of what the show is or isn't about:
"I Will Shoot You"
"I Want To Meet Them"
"He's Going to Tell Them"

Business intelligence directors are responsible for leading design and development activities related to enterprise data warehouses solutions for their organization. They are in charge of providing leadership for other business intelligence developers, architects, and professionals. They participate in business meetings to suggest changes and ideas for intelligence processes. They mentor junior staff and assist with training sessions as well. One of the director's main responsibilities include designing appropriate delivery systems based on project requirements. They use a personal computer to analyze business intelligence information and implement solutions.Read More...
Business intelligence directors work with internal and external information technology (IT) partners to reach all company goals in a timely manner. They help increase company profitability by using tactical recommendations based on effective analysis. They provide technical support to enterprise clients by researching intelligence and adapting to the client needs. Business intelligence directors also give progress updates to company executives and clients, as well as conduct performance reviews of product and services launches. They integrate corporate reporting by extracting data from a variety of sources as well.
This position generally requires a bachelor's degree in computer science, business analysis, finance, or a related field. In addition, previous work experience in a similar capacity is necessary. Industry certifications may be required or preferred. Business intelligence directors must be proficient with several computer programming languages, as well as have advanced database and data warehouse skills. These directors must be analytical individuals that pay strong attention to detail, as well as have strong organization skills to multitask in a variety of projects.
Business Intelligence Directors seem to exploit a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Big Data Analytics, Business Strategy, People Management, and Data Warehouse are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 11 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Data Modeling, Data Mining / Data Warehouse, and Microsoft SQL Server. Those familiar with Business Intelligence also tend to know Data Analysis and Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Business Intelligence Directors, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Six-figure salaries are not unusual for those just entering the occupation — survey respondents with less than five years' experience under their belts report receiving an average of $113K per year. Business Intelligence Directors see a median salary of $146K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Business Intelligence Directors who have stuck around for more than two decades see earnings that are only slightly higher than those of folks who have worked for 10 to 20 years; the more senior group makes around $148K on average.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Detectives in the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office are investigating a phone scam that people have reported. It's a new take on a scam the sheriff's office recently warned the public about.
People receive a phone call that shows the sheriff's office Warrants Unit phone number -- 315-435-3032 -- on their caller ID. A man tells the target that they have a warrant against them and that they have 45 minutes to resolve the issue or they will face arrest.
Then the man on the phone gives targets a number to call -- 904-410-2217 -- and says that it is the U.S. Department of the Treasury. When the target calls the number, no one answers, but their phone call is immediately returned, the sheriff's office said.
The targets are told they owe money that must be paid via GreenDot MoneyPak cards or they will go to jail.
The sheriff's office said it does not call individuals by telephone to collect fines using store debit cards.
Anyone who thinks they were a victim of a similar scam is asked to contact the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office at 315-435-3081.

Travel Ideas
Sailing in Noumea, New Caledonia
- From: Escape
- April 08, 2012
I'M LYING on the catamaran's trampoline looking up at the crisp, white sail silhouetted against the sky.
The sound of water rushing past the hulls and the gentle motion of the yacht soon has me nodding off until someone shouts: "Dolphins!"
I'm sailing the world's largest lagoon, surrounded by a 1500km coral reef, in the inaugural New Caledonia Great Lagoon Regatta.
Ostensibly a three-day race (for the competitively minded), the regatta is a relaxing way to cruise in company beyond the tourist haunts of this magnificent lagoon.
I'm sailing with race organiser Herve Moal, who helped set up the hugely successful Pearl Regatta in Tahiti 10 years ago.
Moal, whose company services visiting super-yachts, hopes the regatta will promote the country to the world. "I just want tourists to come to New Caledonia," he says, citing the world's second-largest barrier reef, behind Australia's, as the drawcard.
Six reef sites have been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status since 2008. The lagoon is a hot spot of biodiversity, being home to nearly 2000 species of fish and a major nesting site for marine turtles and breeding ground for humpback whales.
The regatta circuit has been designed to showcase the lagoon's natural beauty and bountiful marine life. You don't have to be a gung-ho sailor to enjoy the action.
You can rent a cabin aboard a boat, like the luxury 14m Fountaine Pajot cat I've jumped aboard, and learn the ropes along the way. Or gather a group of friends and charter a boat with a local skipper.
The fleet includes families with young children, a couple with their dog, long-term live-aboards and a contingent of Japanese who have chartered two identical boats for some friendly rivalry, as well as a few experienced local race crews.
The novice group on another catamaran rented by the cabin includes a father and son, two female friends and a couple newly arrived in New Caledonia. They soon jell into a close-knit, competitive team and leave as firm friends.
As we depart Noumea Harbour for the start line, goats scrambling over a rocky headland bleat us farewell. The wind is light, just 10-12 knots, but it's overcast and my plans for lolling about in a bikini are quickly shelved.
We hoist our sails and steer clear of the jostling at the start line. Once under way, the stereo is cranked up and a trawling line set bonus points are earned by catching fish.
Today's leg is a 40km jaunt southeast down the main island of Grande Terre to Ouen Island, past cloud-capped Mont-Dore, where our bottled water comes from. We sail by rocky islets and mountainous islands as the fleet spreads out.
Sooty clouds render the water an inky blue proving the lagoon is not always a picture of turquoise and cobalt but our skipper, Renaud Geradin, assures me it is one of the world's most beautiful.
As he has sailed in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Cayman Islands, Egypt, the US and Tahiti, I take his word for it.
The monohull Lagoon takes line honours today and I later learn the skipper is a Sydney to Hobart regular and keen local racer.
The weather is brooding by the time we drop anchor at Ouen Island, but White Bay is sheltered and dolphins jump in welcome.
Above the beach, cliffs bear the scars of nickel and calcium mining raw wounds of white, red and ochre. The island is home to a local tribe, although their village is on the other side.
With military co-operation, the navy ferries the army ashore, who set up tents for tonight's pirate party the fact the national services are willing, and permitted, to assist with the regatta speaks volumes about this friendly little nation.
A giant paella pan is filled with rice, chicken and seafood and left to simmer.
"There'll be lots of winners tonight," quips Moal as he taps barrels of Bordeaux wine at dusk.
Dressed in pirate paraphernalia, we sing rowdily along to the Black Eyed Peas' Tonight's the Night while dancing barefoot in the sand under a pulsating green disco light and sprinkling rain.
Next morning we're greeted with a cheery "Bonjour" by a quintessential Frenchman in a Zodiac dispensing fresh baguettes (and offers of whisky and smoked fish to those with hangovers).
I tuck into the crusty bread, and follow my French hosts' lead by dunking it in milky coffee.
It's an hour's motor to today's start line through Five Mile Channel.
A two-knot current is ripping between the barely discernible reefs that are only navigable with an electronic chart plotter or the midday sun. I'm glad of our experienced skipper.
Our destination is Ilot Kouare, a gorgeous tiny coral islet. Early arrivals dive into the crystal waters for a snorkel but by the time we arrive the wind has got up and it's chilly so I opt for a stroll around the island instead.
Just as I'm about to get in the dinghy, a giant turtle swims nonchalantly by. Geradin estimates it to be about 100 years old, explaining how the country's small population and small fishing fleet mean the lagoon is filled with a plethora of enormous underwater specimens.
Tonight's festivities include an aperitif aboard a navy patrol boat, followed by another party on the beach.
A blustery night ensues and several boats drag anchor but the race committee tender and lagoon protection boat are quick to respond and there's no serious damage.
The final race back to Noumea finishes in front of Le Meridien Hotel, overlooking Anse Vata Beach, where the awards party is held that night.
Lagoon takes out the monohull prize and Bayou the multihull, but the biggest rivalry is over the weight of the tuna caught.
When I ask the Japanese boys if they'll be back next year, I get a resounding: "Yes, yes, yes!"

The Twitter-rip in question, actually, was Terrell Owens(notes) repeating something that someone else said, but it's like my grandmother always told me: When you re-tweet something, it's as good as saying it yourself. Here's the thought on Tony Romo that Owens felt it was necessary to pass along:
Woooo! Zinger!
Really, Terrell? You want to take shots at Tony Romo(notes), who always seemed to treat you pretty well? Yeah, Romo had a rough night against the Giants. I'm pretty sure he knows that. I'm pretty sure that about a million other people let him know that.
Would you like it if Romo (or McNabb or Garcia or anyone else in the NFL, for that matter) went out of their way to point out that you have five catches and less than one hundred yards in two games with the Bills? Would you like it if Romo tweeted that someone named Derek Schouman(notes) has more receptions and yards than you do?
No, you wouldn't. You'd cry for weeks about it and act like the universe has singled you out for the greatest suffering that any human being has ever known.
Just move on, man. You left Dallas, no one seemed to have any hard feelings, and you suckered Buffalo into giving you a lot of money ... why can't that be enough? Take your paychecks, undercontribute, and move on with your life.
Gracias, FanHouse.

An up-to-date overview of free software and its makers
Projects on the Move
The final release of the Songbird web player hits the tightly packed music player scene. With the same extensibility common to the Mozilla family, Songbird gets ready to find its niche and ruffle some feathers.
Web browsers and music players are some of the most commonly used desktop applications. Viewed superficially, the two software types did not appear to be directly linked, until Mozilla's Songbird entered the scene.
Wanderer Between the Worlds
Version 1.0 of Songbird [1], which took one and a half years to complete, is referred to by its developers as a "web player." At first glance, the software looks like any other music player, although it is unusual in that it relies on XULRunner [2] (Figure 1). This Mozilla runtime environment, which all applications from this vendor rely on, resides above other Internet tools, like browsers or mail clients. However, the underpinnings offer one major benefit: like Firefox and Thunderbird, Songbird also runs natively on almost any operating system, including Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, and, of course, Linux.
Songbird's basic functionality is similar to that of other music players. When launched, it prompts the user for the directory containing the digital music collection and adds any tracks it finds there to its own media store. To play, users can then select songs individually, by genre, artist, or album.
Songbird also supports playlists. Just like other players, the program distinguishes between static and intelligent, dynamic lists. Users manually add tracks to the former and save the results for future use. In contrast, intelligent playlists automatically play tracks that fulfill criteria defined by the user. This can be a specific artist or album, but just as easily the last played date, the origin of the file, or the date on which a track was added to the collection.
Badly Managed
Songbird works around the package management system by default: The developers simply provide a tarball that includes all required libraries. The libraries include XULRunner and the GStreamer [3] multimedia framework, including codec plugins for MP3, AAC, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, and WMA music formats.
The package leaves no dependencies to be resolved, but it does weigh in at a bulky 30MB. Because XULRunner and GStreamer are preinstalled on many desktop systems, this duplicate installation is inefficient and very much opposed to the Linux package management system philosophy. Distribution-specific Songbird packages for Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo Linux, and Open Solaris [4] resolve the problem. Compared with the official tarball, the two programs use only half the disk space. Songbird is licensed under the GPL, and the source code for the program is accordingly available for download if you need it.
Plugin Structure
Songbird's interface shows its kinship with Firefox. The Tools menu resembles the other members of the Mozilla family to a T. This leads to another similarity: The Add-ons item takes the user to a plugin structure that can be used to extend Songbird's functionality almost infinitely. The Get Extensions link opens the subpage on the Songbird site directly. This does not mean launching the browser; instead, a new tab displays the website directly in the player program (Figure 2). This is where the XULRunner foundations come into their own: They easily display websites with very little programming.
The variety of plugins available for Songbird extends its functionality, making it an all-around app, like the Firefox browser. For example, installing Meshtape gives you information, pictures, and videos of the artist while a track plays; the add-on draws on services such as Flickr, YouTube, and Last.fm for these resources.
A separate plugin for the Last.fm Web 2.0 music application will transfer tracks you play to your online profile and receive recommendations for your own playlist via the same route, if you so desire.
Songbird can use SHOUTcast to access online radio stations; other plugins support portable MP3 players, including Apple's iPod, which is not renowned for its compatibility.

School offers reward to capture swan egg thief
By Katherine Wei ,The China Post
March 20, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- TransWorld University (環球科技大學) yesterday offered a reward of NT$5,000 for any information leading to the capture of a thief that reportedly stole four of the five eggs laid by the school's black swans.
The swans, large birds with mostly black plumage and red bills, are nesting in a man-made lake on the school campus. A boat house is home to black swans, geese and Muscovy ducks. One pair of black swans laid five eggs this February, the geese followed shortly after.
School faculty member Hsu Ruei-fang said that the pen (the female swan) had concentrated on incubating the eggs while the cob (the male swan) guarded her nearby. The cob would try to attack each time someone approached the boat house.
The school had expected to greet the new baby swans 35 days after the eggs were laid. However, four of the eggs disappeared when the swan caretaker checked on the birds last Thursday, leading to speculation that they had been stolen.
The lake is three meters deep, and the school said that they searched it but found nothing. No traces of a thief were found in surveillance camera footage, said the caretaker, who added that he has been losing sleep from worry over the theft.
Swan experts from National Chung Cheng University noted that black swans, which are are monogamous breeders and share incubation duties, have a habit of removing bad eggs from their nest, but if an egg dropped into the water it would float and would be easy to discover. The school has not yet ruled out the possibility that a snake ate the eggs, as was the case with swan eggs laid at Chung Cheng University.
Black swans are native to Australia, where they breed mainly in the southeast and southwest regions. Within Australia, the swans have no fixed territory and migrate in erratic patterns which are determined by the local weather conditions.

Facility-level training is being offered at the WCRS headquarters in Madison. This gives individual facilities the opportunity to learn abstracting using their own facility's medical records. It gives participants the chance to learn where to find the necessary information in the medical record that must be abstracted into the cancer abstract. It also gives participants practice in abstracting. The WCRS trainer spends the day with the trainees, guiding them through the abstract and answering questions to help them better understand the cancer abstract and its contents.
For further information, please contact Nancy Sonnleitner at email@example.com or 920-448-5226.
WCRS Reporting Updates for 2013 and 2014

Facebook Photo Gets Animal Abuser Busted
Posted December 7, 2011 by peta2 staff
In a rare case of legal protection for a rat, a Denver woman has pleaded guilty to a cruelty-to-animals charge for torturing and killing a rat. Tashaya Abbott and Alison Milke bought a rat from a pet store to feed live to a snake, but the snake did not eat the animal for four days—during which time the terrified rodent was confined to a tank with the snake. So the young women reportedly electroshocked, shot with blow darts multiple times, and finally crushed the rat to death. Evidently thinking that this animal's horrific suffering and death were something to laugh about, Milke posted a photo of the rat to her Facebook page and boasted about the crime that they had committed.
A PETA supporter alerted us, and we immediately notified law enforcement and pushed for the women to be prosecuted.
The judge ordered Abbott to pay a $125 fine and complete 50 hours of community service and banned her from owning any animals for a year. There is still an outstanding warrant for Milke, who is believed to be in Florida now, and PETA is pushing hard for her prosecution as well.
If you spot any evidence of potential animal abuse on social-networking sites, contact PETA right away, and we will work to have the offenders prosecuted.

Soooo….are you against snakes in general then? I mean, they eat those mice. IS there a PETA-friendly way to feed a snake?

Yes. They can purchase frozen mice/rats, and most will eat poultry parts. There is absolutely no reason to feed live animals to snakes any more.

This has nothing to do with being against snakes or the fact that they eat rats….it has EVERYTHING to do however, with the idiots torture of the rat when the snake opted NOT to eat it. Kind of ironic that the rats natural enemy was kinder to it then these losers were ~ what poor representatives they are of the supposed 'higher species'.

People are so damn irresponsible, and there should be laws that ban the sale of anything living to some without a permit! I know… easy to state, but enforcement at any level will likely never happen! The very fact that someone would do those things and then post them, bragging and obviously thinking others would agree and find it amusing, exceeds being sick!
I once thought PETA was excessive and went a bit far with many things. Well, maybe that is what it takes with sick people like this these days! We live in an extreme society. I am not a vegan, but I watch where I go (NO KFC nor McDs for me!) and I hate what people and corporations do, even to chickens.
Go get 'em, PETA! I will report anything I ever note as well. God's little creatures have as much right to breathe and be here as anything living! Thanks for all you folks do.
(I love what Damon said… he is also in Florida, and doesn't want a 'scumbag breathing our air'! He is not without justification.)
1766 days ago
The fact that this is progress is upsetting. The laws should already treat animals like living beings instead of damaged property. There should be the same punishment for torturing and murdering any animal as there is a human. A living being with emotions that can feel pain is a living being with emotions that can feel pain, whether it's big and can talk to you, or is small and a can't.
1767 days ago
What did that poor animal ever do to them? They terrify the animal by keeping it with a snake for four days, then torture it. It said that they crushed the rat to death. Surley the animal did not die after the first attempt to crush it, imagine the pain it expirienced!
1767 days ago
I have pet rats and this brings tears to my eyes. Whenever I read, much more see the evidence of how sick, truly sick in the head some people are, my head just explodes inside. I cannot believe how cruel & sadistic anyone can possibly be–without remorse. I'm glad Peta went after this sonofab*tch, but if you ask me, a $125 fine and 50 hrs community service is a slap on the wrist. Both of them should NEVER be allowed to own ANY animals.
1767 days ago
That is just terrible! I love my gorgeous little rat, Bobby, who looks very similar to the one pictured. I don't understand how people can do things like that. I agree with a lot of the other people responding – the sentence is a joke. It should be much more harsh than that!

People Are Stupid, Not Everybody But alot of people who act like that and dont know how to treat people/animals deserve to have a worse punishment than that.

How terrible! That poor rat! And she was barely punished! This is what upsets me so much, if someone did that to a person they would get life in jail but, do it to a poor, defenseless animal, just pay a little bit of money, and do a few hours of community service and then walk away free!!! It's soooo unfair! Now, in a year, she could do this same exact thing to another innocent animal!!!!!

That is disgusting and the sentence is way to light!

Pamela Geller skillfully eviscerates this spectacularly vicious and wrongheaded piece in Haaretz. I myself find it astounding that Haaretz considers it more important to denigrate and destroy Pamela Geller and her efforts on behalf of Israel than to devote any serious effort to exposing the jihad against Israel and resisting its advance. What their calculation could be, I cannot fathom. Do they think that if they show themselves to be just as enthusiastic in fighting the foes of jihad as is Hamas-linked CAIR and other Islamic supremacist groups, that the jihadis will go lightly on them?
"'A Special Place in Hell' for the true enemies of Israel …. Haaretz," by Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, August 21:
…Here, Bradley Burston posits that naziophobia, not Nazism, will be the end of the European Jewry. Well, not exactly, but pretty damn close.
Truth is the recognition of reality, and the fact is, the root cause of the Palestinian conflict, Islamic Jew-hatred, cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. There can be no peace until the motive for Jewish genocide is understood and combatted. Burston wants to kill the messenger. Does he really believe that can save the Jewish people? We tried that. Remember? It failed in unimaginable proportion….
The title of this piece is so absurd that it is amazing that even a Leftist propaganda sheet like Haaretz published it. Muslims explicitly and proudly motivated by Islamic texts and teachings have murdered countless numbers of Israeli civilians. Islamic doctrine regarding the impermissibility of infidel rule on what they consider to be Muslim land and the quran's demonization of the Jews have doomed every Israeli concession to futility and every attempt at a negotiated settlement to failure. Israel is on the front lines of the global Islamic jihad, and this Jewicidal tool Bradley Burston says that "Islamophobia," not Islam, will be the end of Israel. How many Israeli civilians have been murdered by "Islamophobia"? How many rocket attacks have "Islamophobes" launched against Israel? How many "Islamophobes" have blown themselves up on buses and in pizza parlors full of Jews?
Caroline Glick was so supportive of the ad, she urged her readers to contribute here. Want to help us get these up in other cities where the anti-Israel ad ran? Contribute here.
"Islamophobia, not Islam, will be the end of Israel" by Bradley Burston, Haaretz, August 21:
Israel has elaborate defense systems against military attack and terrorism. Its defenses against its extremists, such as professional bigot Pamela Geller, are much more porous.
Islamophobia, not Islam, will be the end of Israel Israel has elaborate defense systems against military attack and terrorism. Its defenses against its extremists, such as professional bigot Pamela Geller, are much more porous.
SAN FRANCISCO — Everyone knows how it works. Everyone knows what it sounds like. Everyone knows how easy it is to get away with it.
Everyone knows, deep down, that hatred feeds on tolerance. That however well-intentioned, a society's forbearance for the toxic slur, for the poison of ethnic or religious or racial prejudice, does hatred invaluable service.
No one knows this better than professional bigots. People like Pamela Geller, who pass themselves off as supporters of a worthy cause even as their hatred and prejudice stain and undermine anything and everything worthy about that cause.
Burston sounds as if he is working from Hamas-CAIR talking points (and he could well be). In his eyes, it is "hatred and prejudice" to acknowledge the truth about Islam's doctrines of jihad and Jew-hatred. It is "hatred and prejudice" to work for the freedom of speech against Islam's blasphemy law, and for the freedom of conscience against Islam's death penalty for apostasy, and for equality of rights for all people against Islam's systematic oppression of women and non-Muslims. But what do you think he has written about the real hatred and prejudice that Islamic imams spew on a daily basis against Jews and other infidels? Nothing. Nothing at all. But he did write Haaretz's earlier front-page hit piece on me.
Imagine if Haaretz went after the enemies of the Jews with the same energy with which they go after staunch defenders of Israel.
For years, in the guise of supporting Israel, Geller has engaged in promoting hatred of Islam. In recent weeks, in a campaign timed to coincide with Muslims' observance of the sacred month of Ramadan, her American Freedom Defense Initiative has run caustic, self-styled "pro-Israel" advertisements on the sides of public transit buses in San Francisco.
Burston has nothing to say about how about 565 civilians were killed in Iraq in jihad attacks during the just-concluded "sacred month of Ramadan." He has nothing to say about the murderous, Jew-killing Muslims in Bulgaria who said that "Ramadan is a month of holy war and death for Allah. It is a month for fighting the enemies of Allah and God's messenger, the Jews and their American facilitators." None of that bothers him. What bothers him is if I dare during the "sacred month of Ramadan" to point out the number of jihad attacks since 911. How they must be laughing inside the offices of Hamas-CAIR.
There is much more. Read it all.
