EXIT STAGE LEFT

SWORDS AND HOSTAGES

2005-12-04T03:46:00.000-05:00

To the swords of "righteousness" and the "christian" peacemaker teams.
Just watched a clip of those traitor hostages on TV. Noticed that the far-left-fat-guy was popping snacks on camera...while trying to maintain a "hostage" profile. He is not your average good actor type. So, here is a suggestion for you sword guys. Save face. Or don't do any more stupid stunts like this.
Must add a suggestion to the "christian" peacemaker communists. Quit calling yourselves Christians.
Can I hear an AMEN!!!

JUST SAY NO!

2005-07-15T03:00:00.000-04:00

This started out to be a humor blog and I will get it back there...
(The left must be laughed at before they begin to take themselves seriously.)
Terri Schiavo is dead. For months now, it has been very difficult to laugh at the left because they are as barbaric and cruel as any enemy decent people have ever had.
They are easy to make fun of as individuals because individually, they are so disattached from reality one wonders if they were actually born or grown from pods sent from outer space. But collectively, they are utterly mad with power.
Terri Schiavo haunts me day and night because I see in her suffering and her death the power of the left gained through their blood money and legal maneuvering corrupting everything we have ever believed in.
I saw it in the murders of millions of unborn children and Terri reminds me that abortion was also a "right" the left attained through a corrupt interpretation of our Constitution.
We should have overrun Congress then before one child was destroyed without mercy, but we never did because even though it gagged us, the law was the law, and like lemmings, we obeyed.
Since then, many of the godforsaken lawsuits the left has brought to a vile judiciary, courts' decisions have nearly choked off most of the freedoms we have always taken for granted and now they have "given" us the "right" to die.
They have also taken away the fundamental foundation of our freedoms, our property rights, and are desperately trying to murder G-d.
Well, G-d will not accommodate their whims, and the power is STILL with the people if only we have the courage to use it.

As a very great Lady once said, "JUST SAY NO!"

Funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing joined forces with the City of Hope National Medical Center to propose a national effort to correct the deficiencies found in nursing education addressing peaceful end-of-life care.
The above link to The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, if you have the fortitude to actually read it, will no doubt raise a few eyebrows, but very well might explain why both Bush Brothers, (to my great grief and sorrow,) did not act for Terri Schiavo when they should have. At the time, I said to the same witness I have always spoken to, that something deeper was going on with them and figured skeletons in the closet might be rattling. I also remarked that it would not be the first time Daddy Dearest had slid ringers into the Bush Presidency...like Colin Powell for instance.
Johnson is a well-known supporter of the so-called right to die groups, and all of the other supportive *Foundations,* (Carnegie, Pew, and others that will surprise you...or maybe not,) are also mentioned in the above linked page. There is money out the wazoo on this page, and everyone mentioned supports population control in one way or another.
Philanthropy is fast becoming a psuedonym for brainwashing, racketeering, and murder. You die so the filthy rich get filthier. They get your land or whatever blood they can squeeze from your stone, and they OWN the rest of us one way or another. It isn't a matter if who anymore. It's a matter of when.

SUN COAST HOSPICE ASKS YOU TO CONSIDER THIS QUESTION.

AND THEN TELL YOU TO CALL THEM.

HOWEVER, TAKING A HARD LOOK, AND I MEAN HARD, ONE GETS THE BIGGER PICTURE, AND BELIEVE ME, IT AIN'T PRETTY.

PROGRESS SOFTWARE IS HUGE AND MULTINATIONAL. SUN COAST HAS A, (AS IN ONE,) DIVISION OF PROGRAMMERS CALLED THE NEXT GENERATION. THE NEXT GENERATION PRODUCES SOFTWARE FOR PROGRESS, AND PROGRESS PRODUCES AND SELLS IT WORLDWIDE UNDER ITS OWN NAME, NOT SUN COAST.
MOST OF THE PROGRAMMING IS DATABASES FOR ACCOUNTING, AUTOMATED BILLING, AND LISTS OF NAMES, ADDRESSES, TELEPHONE AND SS NUMBERS, INSURANCE POLICY NUMBERS, LISTS OF HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY HOLDERS, LISTS OF MORTGAGE HOLDERS OR HOMEOWNERS, ALONG WITH NEXT OF KIN AND BENEFICIARIES.
FOR PATIENT CARE, THEY OFFER A SIMPLE MS INTERFACE LIKE OFFICE FOR STAFF SCHEDULING, MED SCHEDULES, AND TRACKING.
THERE IS A VENDOR LISTED ON THE SUN COAST SITE AS ELF.

BUT IT ISN'T ELF, IT'S VMP, A HUGE MORTGAGE COMPANY WITH BRANCHES OF AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE, HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE, AND HEALTH INSURANCE.

DOES ANYONE SMELL RATS YET?
*IN SOME CASES, THERE APPEAR TO BE AGREEMENTS BETWEEN SOME IMPATIENT BENEFICIARIES AND *LENDING* COMPANIES TO ADVANCE WHATEVER MIGHT BECOME DUE TO THE BENEFICIARY UPON THE DEATH OF SOMEONE AS AN UP FRONT LUMP SUM OF MONEY FOR A FEE. THE FEES TOTAL UP TO SUBSTANTIAL MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, SOON TO BE BILLIONS.
*Please note: The lender in this case is Jeffrey Grieco. Grieco is getting to be a very familiar name around this stuff.

FOR INSTANCE, THAT SWEET SCHOOLMARM, BETH GADDY, DEFRAUDED A HOSPITAL WITH A *DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY* CLAIMING SHE HAD SOLE RIGHT TO DECIDE HER GRANDMOTHER "SHOULD GO HOME TO JESUS," WHEN SHE KNEW FULL WELL IT WAS A SIMPLE FINANCIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY, NOT MEDICAL. NO MATTER THAT GRANDMA HAD A LIVING WILL, SHE WAS GONG HOME TO JESUS AND THAT WAS THAT. INTO THE HOSPICE, GRANNIE.

Hospice LaGrange is divided into two different occupancies, Business and Healthcare, separated by a 2-hour fire and smoke partition where the office block joins the first patient pod. In this way, we are able to completely protect the patients, while minimizing the use of double-layered gyp board ceilings and other protective coverings. The office portion is classified as NFPA 101 Type V (0,0,0) Sprinklered Business; the patient areas are classified as NFPA 101 Type V (1,1,1) Sprinklered New Healthcare. Gas log fireplaces are allowed in the project because one-hour rated walls separate patient rooms from the spaces containing fireplaces.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A man fighting to have a feeding tube removed from his brain-damaged wife on Friday rejected a California businessman's offer to pay him $1 million to give up his right to decide her medical treatment.
Thursday's offer, which the husband's attorney labeled ``offensive,'' came hours after a judge refused to let the state's social services agency intervene - a move that would have delayed next week's scheduled removal of the tube.
Other such offers, including one for $10 million, had already been made and rejected by Michael Schiavo, said his attorney, George Felos.

Rush Limbaugh Joins FM NewsTalk 104.7PITTSBURGH, PA –

August 13, 2004 – John Rohm, Clear Channel's Regional Vice President, announced today that effective November 15th, Rush Limbaugh will change his radio address to FM NewsTalk 104.7 (WPGB).
Limbaugh's show will air weekdays from 12-3 PM on FM NewsTalk 104.7. "Rush is credited with changing America's radio landscape with his passionate style, effectively setting the standard for all of talk radio. He's the most imitated and most quoted talk show host in America" said Rohm. "We are providing him a forum on a new station, with younger demos that will ultimately ensure the continued growth of his show in Pittsburgh."
"Welcome home Rush!"
Rush will join FM NewsTalk 104.7's established line up of top-rated talk shows – Quinn & Rose in the Morning, Sean Hannity, Ellis Cannon, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage. "We're thrilled to welcome the highest-rated radio talk show in America to FM NewsTalk 104.7," said Gene Romano, Clear Channel Senior Vice President of Programming. "In the most recent ratings period, WPGB had the top ratings of any news-talk station in Pittsburgh mornings, afternoons and evenings. Rush completes the line-up in a big way."
Jay Bohannon, Program Director of FM NewsTalk 104.7 commented, "We are extremely humbled and proud to be able to present the man who paved the way for radio stations like FM NewsTalk 104.7 and our featured personalities. It is so exciting to think of the sound of FM NewsTalk 104.7 with America's greatest NewsTalk personality, smack in the middle of Pittsburgh's most listened to morning and afternoon NewsTalk programs."

This entry would not be complete without reminding the duplicitous left, in Pittsburgh and environs thereabout, that this lineup also includes the inimitable Matt Drudge on Sunday evenings from 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
If I am recalling correctly, there is also talk of putting Neil Boortz on from 11:00 until 2:00 AM, weekdays, hopefully rescuing us from After Dark which seems to validate the 98% complete and utter insanity that any loon with a shtick promotes as unwordly reality.

Sorry, but we get that every damb day from the dumbocrats so that by the time Nouri gets on, some of his guests actually sound sane.

The Left---Skinnerism

2004-08-02T06:15:00.000-04:00

Far-left

In politics the term Far-left describes persons or groups who believe in radical or extreme socialist or communist ideologies.
The far-left usually believes in achieving radical social and political change.
Unlike the moderate left-wing, the far-left typically rejects achieving social or political change through democratic means, and believes in overthrowing the existing order by *violence.
The far-left is traditionally a strong opponent of United States, and other capitalist countries. There is also often much oppositon to Israel.

The *violence that the far left now uses is the complete and utter contempt it has for The Constitution of this United States of America. Its weapon is the court system, and its mendacity against everything good and decent that were the traditional roots of this country.
It is no longer Communism, Fascism, Marxism, Nazism, or Socialism. The ideal of the far-left now is blatant Skinnerism.
Its violence is the murders of tens of thousands of unborn children.
Its violence is the homosexual agenda that is trying to batter down the walls of traditional marriage to force the abnormal on the norm...and against G-d.
Its violence has robbed us of our children at ever earlier ages. They have taken over our childrens' educations and placed it in the hands of illiterates and Skinnerist propagandists who are brainwashing the generations who should someday lead. Our children are taught by these mutants that competing is wrong. Ambition and success are wrong. Winning is wrong, although they, themselves will do ANYTHING to attain and retain power and they will succeed if we don't wake up and realize that it is THEIR Utopia which they envision for all of us. Their intent is render us powerless to stop them before we realize how destructive to our national psyche they have become.
Its violence is to embue their handpicked designees with the same strain of malevolence which they believe entitles them to control everything great and small. The far-left is void of morality, void of compassion, and seeks to destroy G-d in the farthest reaches of the planet and in the farthest reaches of our minds.
Never stopping for one moment to touch reality, they seek to make their darkest vision of reality entrap us in that world they have created for themselves. No one with an ounce of humanity would be so extreme in trying to rid us of our humanity.
We have witnessed our children, led by this unholy tyranny, turned into gangs of teenaged terrorists who slash and burn whatever they have been coerced into believing is "wrong."
As adults, we have not dared to go against what the far left has initiated through the courts by creating laws that shred our natural rights as parents, as families, as One Nation Under G-d.
Our America is under attack from this ideology as much, and as detrimentally, as Islam has attacked us. Islam seeks to destroy all humanity. So too does the far left with which it has aligned itself.
Wake up, America, before one or the other steals our heart and soul from our still breathing bodies before we have risen up and put an end to it. Evil flourishes when good people do nothing. Courage is within each and every one of us who seeks it. It is far past time to use it in any and every way possible to erect a wall which they cannot pass over or through. Strength of conviction must overtake fear of conviction. Any other road dooms us and condemns our children to virtual slavery.
Anyone who doubts it has already gone too far need only witness the contemptuous Demonicrat duo that is running for the highest offices in our land.

SKINNERISM.

Anyone who doesn't realize what it is, read. Search. Watch your children when they are told no matter how hard they work, their grades will be no better than anyone else's. What incentive do they still have to try and learn anything? If chickenscratch and dirty words are art and poetry, why become real artists and poets?
If the "new" ethics allows for the murder of babies up to a year or three years old, what prevents them from knowing it is wrong?
If G-d is abolished and morality ceases to exist, what reason do they have for being moral?
If YOU are in the way as a parent, what will stop them from believing it is equally as "ethical" to rid themselves of you?
There is only one answer to those questions.

NOTHING.

LOSING THEIR SOULS

BARF ALERT!
This is more arrogance from the 60s lost generation and their even more irrational offspring. The opinions stated below are the looney left's and except for a comment or two, which is my personal opinion of their spew, the rest is the usual distasteful diatribes and attempts of trying to make themselves seem brilliant, (which in many cases is an insult to retarded people who make ever so much more sense without trying.)
Brilliant people don't usually have to tell anyone how brilliant they are. In most cases it is quite noticeable. When someone notices it amongst these braggarts, please leave a comment to let me know what, why, and how you could possibly believe it.
Thanks in advance.

We Should Not Reelect George Bush
By Will Declan
I spent a great deal of time pondering whether or not to support the war in Iraq, but, in the end, I felt it was unjustified. I don’t believe that 9/11 was George Bush’s fault, but I want to blame him. I want very badly to blame him. Because even if he wasn’t to blame, I want the world to believe that he was.

The Dark Spirit of unenlightened man.

I do not want George Bush to be reelected. I love this country too much to believe that its people will reelect a man like this. To reelect a man that seems to exude hatred, who radiates misplaced machismo, who secretes his poisonous smirk, somehow nodding to those around him, winking as though indicating he’s about to pull another fast one on the American people.

I can't comment on the above barf bait. It is just too absurd.

Biography
I've been running websites off and on for over 10 years now. This is my first political website.
I live in London and work for a web development firm. I've been here over 4 years, having moved here from South Carolina via Barcelona.
I've always been a liberal, but a moderate one. The last couple of years, however, have made me plant my flag solidly in the left's camp.
What I hope to achieve with this site goes across party lines. I think that there are many people on the left and on the right who have watched the Bush Administration's bungling and despaired. I'm nearly off to the chiropractors from shaking my head so often.
I can't let the 2004 election come and go without getting involved, and doing what I can to make sure other displaced Americans get involved as well. We've got nothing to lose but time and effort, and everything to win.
This isn't much of a biography I know, but this isn't really a personal site.

Silencing the silent majority in Britain.
A poll published in the left-wing Guardian newspaper in London on Tuesday, the eve of President Bush’s arrival in Britain for a three-day visit, discovered that 62 percent believe “that the U.S. is 'generally speaking a force for good, not evil, in the world’” as “only 15 percent of British voters agree with the idea that America is the 'evil empire’ in the world.” In addition, “more people -- 43 percent -- say they welcome George Bush's arrival in Britain than the 36 percent who say they would prefer he did not come.”
Unfortunately, as the wayward left is wont to do, they cannot see past themselves in a warped mirror that bears not much resemblance to reality. This guy keeps saying he's an American *expat* who wants to save the country. WHAT country? Spain? England? I am afraid you are far too late for that, but don't EVEN go thinking you purveyors of perversity are going to kink up our election so that we become social slaves like you seem to enjoy being.
Nope. Uh uh. Not this time. But I do hope you get a lot of pen pals in your fantasy world. See, we enjoy our freedom. We will fight for it. The Crown doesn't GRANT it. The Lord does.
It is obvious that you have no idea what real American Spirit is. You gave it all up before you ever knew. How pathetic.

Defiant owner keeps anti-DNC sign

By Casey Ross
Saturday, July 24, 2004
City officials have laid a smack down on an irate North Station pizza shop owner who is facing fines for posting an unpermitted pro-Bush sign on his business as delegates flock to Boston for the Democratic National Convention.
Mark Pasquale, owner of Halftime Pizza, was slapped with a citation Thursday evening and ordered to remove the sign until he gets a permit. Boston police also tossed in a charge for a locked exit door at the restaurant.
``It's my building and I can put a sign there if I want,'' a defiant Pasquale said yesterday. ``Signs welcoming the DNC are OK. Pro-Kerry signs are OK. I put up a sign saying, `Go Bush,' and I gotta take it down?''
Pasquale posted the sign - whose bold letters shout, `D.N.C. THANKS FOR NOTHING! GO BUSH' - after road closures and parking hassles prompted him to shut down during convention week.

Huh? I can't hear with my mouth full.

Boston police, which issued the citations at 5 p.m. Thursday, said a dozen establishments near the FleetCenter were cited this week.
``He was not the only one,'' police spokeswoman Beverly Ford said. ``If he would have gotten the proper permits, he wouldn't have gotten a citation.''
Ford did not know how long it's been since police cracked down on unpermitted signs in the city.
Pasquale's restaurant was flooded with phone calls yesterday as residents sought to toss in their 2 cents about presidential politics and the upcoming convention. Nick LaRussa drove to the restaurant from South Boston yesterday to offer support and a $20 donation.
``I'm not a fan of the DNC coming here,'' he said. ``All these privileged delegates have free reign over the city.''
Pasquale said he plans to reopen Friday after delegates leave town.
``I just want them to leave me alone and let me run my business,'' he said.

Meanwhile, up the Road...

From an unnamed poster at dunderground

What we MUST realize in order to win - Americans are stupid and uninformed

(This from those who believe that an IQ of 70 is above average.)
This is very important because in order to win we must understand the way the average American thinks. I'm afraid WE have nothing in common with them.
I came to the two following conclusions when I saw the large number of people who voted for Bush back in 2000.
#1 - I would dare to assume that most of us here are in the upper 1%-20% of the population intelligence-wise. We must come to the realization that the majority of the population is in the lower 80% to 99% percent of the bell-curve. WE are not the norm. The Republicans understand that the average American is not very bright. They cater and pander to the masses. The Democratic Party tries to appeal to the population about "issues" that these people just don't understand.
(Are you gagging yet?)
I've heard it said that the reason that Clinton's sex scandal resonated so strongly among "the people" was because it was a scandal that the average American understood. The average person can't understand a financial scandal.
In addition, people of average or lower intelligence tend to not be as logical or reasoned as those of higher intelligence - they deal with emotion. Therefore they are more likely to get riled up about someone burning a flag rather than a illogical tax cut.
#2 - The majority of people do not read the newspaper OR listen to the news, CNN, etc. Therefore -they get their news from the Tonight Show, Letterman, Oprah and Saturday Night Live. Or, they get their news from talking to their co-workers at the water cooler.
Also, for the few people who DO listen to the news - who do they hear it from? Fox News and Bill O'Reilly are the most popular. Most newspapers and media outlets are owned by Republicans.
(Oh yeah. Like Viacom, Ted Turner, NYT, LAT, Chi. Tribune, Wash. Post, etc, etc.)
THIS is what we are fighting against people. In order to win we will need to start pandering to the masses.

Article from stupidity is dem.

By Timothy Karr MediaChannel.org
NEW YORK, July 22, 2004 -- The Kerry campaign's share of network news coverage has been on a steady slide since the Massachusetts senator all but clinched his party nomination after the March 2 "Super Tuesday" primaries. According to a survey of media election coverage during the first half of 2004, President George W. Bush's share of the nightly newscasts has risen steadily through the year, while Senator John Kerry's image and words faded from network screens.
The study, released today by Media for Democracy and Media Tenor, is based on daily monitoring of network evening newscasts from January 1 through June 30, 2004.
During an average evening newscast in June, the networks were nearly four times as likely to mention President Bush as the Democratic presidential candidate. By contrast, in March of this year, network mention of Senator Kerry (40 percent of all coverage of Kerry, Bush and Ralph Nader) nearly rivaled coverage of incumbent Bush (59 percent).
... Continuing analysis into July shows that Kerry enjoyed a jump in network coverage following his selection of Senator John Edwards as his running mate, but that this attention flattened to June levels during the last week surveyed -- July 12 through 16.

Imagine that. George Bush, according to this article, is the DEMOCRATIC presidential candidate.

Who knew?

Besides, the parasite dems mentioned George Bush so much, how could the media help it and not love it at the same time? Notice the article did not say that coverage of the president was favorable, simply that he was mentioned. Has anyone been keeping count of the 2-3 dem attacks against GW on any given day?

Stupidity with delusions of grandeur. Gahhhhhh!

Texas town uneasy after polygamist sect moves in

2004-07-19T05:16:00.000-04:00

Senator Rick Santorum, R, PA, tried to warn this would happen when the SCOTUS overturned the Texas Sodomy Law. When we tried to explain it, everyone scoffed. Well...it isn't so funny anymore.

By Joseph A. Reaves, The Arizona Republic ELDORADO, Texas — Folks around here couldn't be more dumbfounded if a flying saucer buzzed the county courthouse and spooked all the sheep this side of Abilene. Polygamists?

A high wall surrounds the compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Utah.

A colony of secretive Arizona and Utah men with two, three or more wives apiece wearing ankle-length, gingham pioneer dresses while working the fields under a scorching West Texas sun?

"When I first heard they were out there, I thought, 'You've got to be kidding,' " said Randy Mankin, city administrator, hospital board member and editor of the local weekly newspaper. "I mean, we're talking about polygamy and things that were supposed to be over and done a long time ago."

Over and done in most places, but just coming to the rolling hills of Schleicher County.

In November, a representative of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints quietly purchased 1,691 acres of rocky ranch land just north of Eldorado, population 1,951. The FLDS is believed to be the largest polygamist community in the nation. With headquarters in the twin communities of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, the church has about 10,000 to 12,000 members, whose ancestors have practiced plural marriage for more than a century.

A rift among church elders and mounting legal pressure from both states apparently persuaded Warren Jeffs, head of the sect, to build a refuge in this isolated swath of cotton and cattle country.
"It's kind of frightening," said Kelley Conn, 34, a stay-at-home mother of two preteen girls. "We're a small enough town that if they wanted to, they could just take us over."
The FLDS land is accessible only by a narrow dirt easement through neighboring property protected by a padlocked gate and a not-so-deftly disguised infrared camera. Such secrecy doesn't sit well in these parts of Texas, where passing drivers are expected to wave to one another and gentlemen always nod to women and strangers. Possibly the only person to develop any kind of relationship with the new neighbors is Schleicher County Sheriff David Doran, a polite, soft-spoken man who preaches patience and understanding.
Doran became the point man in an emerging community crisis in March when local pilots flying over the FLDS property photographed three giant dormitories under construction.
David Allred, a Colorado City business executive and confidant of Jeffs, purchased the land for $800 an acre, nearly twice the going rate for comparable land in the county. He told the sheriff he was building a corporate hunting retreat. Not until early May did he and three other church officials admit they fabricated the story to avoid publicity.
That turnaround, coupled with the fact that almost no one in West Texas knew anything about the FLDS, kindled fears of a replay of the kind of tragedy that took place near Waco in 1993. That's when about 80 members of David Koresh's Branch Davidian sect and four federal agents were killed in a fiery standoff.
"When they first came here, that's naturally the first thing that popped into my mind," Doran said. "That's why I did some diligent research. We got on the Internet. We talked to everybody we could in Arizona and Utah. We went up to Colorado City and met with officials."
Everybody he spoke with, Doran said, assured him the church has never had a history of violence. But church members do have a penchant for privacy and secrecy. Jeffs, 48, rarely is seen in public and never grants interviews. Earlier this year, while still living in a compound behind 8-foot walls in Hildale, Jeffs excommunicated 21 longtime elders of the tight-knit community and imposed assessments of $500 to $1,000 on church members.
Both moves came after months of increasing pressure by Attorneys General Mark Shurtleff of Utah and Terry Goddard of Arizona, who have spent months investigating a wide range of allegations against Jeffs and other church leaders. No senior church members have been charged.
Fundamentalists believe abandoning polygamy, as the mainstream Mormon Church did in 1890, was a mistake. But many in Schleicher County think the FLDS made a bigger mistake coming to West Texas.
"They don't know how to get along with people," said Juanice Orr, 64, a part-time librarian whose main job these days is figuring out who's next on the waiting list for the county library's two books about polygamy.

"Those folks just stay out there and avoid you, then lie about what they're doing," Orr said. "The more you hear about them, the more scared you get."

Now THAT'S in Texas. Leftward HO!!!

Texas has inherited Mormonents for Christmas. Say thank you to all the UN oriented SC judges who think THIS is sophistication. Blechhhhh!

TRIPLESPEAK

2004-07-18T04:44:00.000-04:00

INTELLECTUAL SNOBBERY (not to mention dishonesty)
This is supposedly a *factual* critique from a student who believes that triplespeak takes the place of common sense. There are many words, but as the old Shakespearean quote rightly supposes, "It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."
This critique is written by a liberal UCLA senior who *misconstrued* the FIRST hit piece on Shapiro, then *reconstrued* it to be even more nonsensical than what the meaning of "is," is.
If this is an example of the journalistic talent UCLA is foisting onto an unsuspecting American public, someone had better teach them how to *construct* whole sentences before they turn a one sentence non-sentence into an entire paragraph.
Being deliberately redundant, I repeat for emphasis, this *journalist* is a senior.
Dear Lord.
One more thing.
More gibberish and spin isn't necessarily better gibberish OR spin. It's just silly.

Book misconstrues facts
-----------------------------------------------------

JENNIFER DRADER/daily bruin
Ben Shapiro, a fourth-year political science student, said he has drawn from his upbringing as an Orthodox Jew for many of the views he expresses in his book.
-----------------------------------------------------

By Charlotte Hsu
DAILY BRUIN SENIOR STAFF
Correction appended
A book a UCLA undergraduate wrote that alleges students are "brainwashed" by a liberal bias at U.S. universities contains numerous factual errors, misquotations and misrepresentations of people's views.
Titled "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth," Ben Shapiro's book appeared on store shelves Thursday.
With "Brainwashed," Shapiro said he hopes to drive home the assertion he's frequently made: that the United States' universities are dominated by liberal professors whose ideologies overshadow those of their underrepresented conservative counterparts. While Shapiro's inflammatory statements have drawn criticism from many, different concerns arise when he doesn't get his facts straight. At least twice, Shapiro states that Student Media receives funding from mandatory tuition or fees, which is false.
He also misquotes prominent UCLA figures, including the chancellor and UCLA Hillel Director Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, and mischaracterizes the terms of his dismissal from the Daily Bruin.
Shapiro rescheduled Monday an in-person meeting that was supposed to take place that morning and asked to be interviewed by phone instead. Shapiro canceled the phone interview after being presented with the errors through e-mail and would only comment in a statement by e-mail.
"I stand behind the facts in my book, and behind the major point of my book: The overwhelming majority of professors are leftists, and their leftism enters the classroom," he wrote.
After canceling his interview, he did not return calls and messages left to his home and cell phone but responded in a later e-mail that he would not be able to talk for "the next several weeks."
He wrote that he is busy with the publicity campaign for his book, which in an interview last week he saidwould launch today.
When asked about factual errors, a spokeswoman familiar with Shapiro's book declined to comment before speaking with a legal team.
The Borders Books & Music on Westwood Boulevard had four copies of "Brainwashed" in stock this weekend, though Ackerman Union is not carrying it.
Some preordered it online, and it has already garnered over 15 comments on Amazon.com.
Factual distortion
In at least two instances in "Brainwashed," Shapiro, a former Bruin Viewpoint columnist, states that Student Media at UCLA – which encompasses The Bruin, UCLAtv, KLA radio and several newsmagazines – receives funding from student fees.
Student Media receives no money from the university or student tuition and fees and is completely self-funded.
In chapter 11, Shapiro writes that "part of tuition at UCLA includes a required payment to the student media. For example, my tuition money pays for Nommo, the black magazine on campus, despite the fact that I disagree with their viewpoint."
He adds at the start of chapter 12 that "groups like the African Student Association, Gay and Lesbian Association, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), the Muslim Student Association and their media outlets, like Nommo, TenPercent, La Gente de Aztlán and Al-Talib all receive tuition money to spout their radical agendas."
Student groups receive funding through fees, but Nommo, TenPercent, La Gente de Aztlán and Al- Talib fall under Student Media and do not.
They are also independent publications that do not serve as media outlets for student groups.
In addition to factual mistakes, Shapiro makes multiple errors when quoting. He misquotes Seidler -Feller in more than one instance.
In a segment about a memorial for Holocaust victims, Shapiro writes: "Seidler-Feller spoke to the crowd of students, comparing Israeli treatment of Palestinians to Nazi treatment of Jews."
But Seidler-Feller says this wasn't what he said at all.
"I have never compared Israeli behavior to Nazi behavior. It's an outrageous assertion – it's both outrageous to say that and outrageous to say I said it," he said.
Shapiro continues in the same paragraph, quoting Seidler-Feller as saying that Jews being victimized in the Holocaust does not mean they are "immunized from victimizing others."
The Bruin story Shapiro cited read: "Seidler-Feller urged people to realize that just because Jews were victims does not mean they are 'immunized' from being victimizers."
A second time, Shapiro writes: Seidler-Feller strode to a microphone and challenged (Dennis) Prager's honesty and his arguments, stating to Prager that he was "exaggerating the case" for Israel.
The quotation Shapiro used never appeared in the DailyBruin story he cites in his footnotes.
Instead, the story said Seidler-Feller supported most of Prager's argument but "did challenge him on a few points he said Prager exaggerated. ... Seidler-Feller asked if it was necessary for Israel supporters to exaggerate to get their point across."
Shapiro also puts quotation marks around statements that he should have paraphrased, giving the impression people said things they did not.
In a segment about partisan politics, "Brainwashed" reads: "Albert Carnesale, the chancellor of UCLA, says that 'a missile defense shield is not the answer to the threat of weapons of mass destruction.'"
The excerpt was drawn from a Daily Bruin story in which the part Shapiro puts in quotation marks was not reported as a direct quote.
Misrepresentation
Shapiro also misrepresented the views of many people he quotes in "Brainwashed."
In chapter two, Shapiro cites English Professor Robert Watson's submission to The Bruin's Viewpoint section, in which Watson writes: "If you decide to characterize as radical-leftist the determination to ask hard questions about the things a society has been most comfortable assuming, then, yes, a large proportion of those who have devoted their lives to intellectual inquiry will appear to you to be radical-leftist."
In "Brainwashed," Shapiro drops Watson's statement "if you decide" and writes that the professor "describes radical leftism as 'the determination to ask hard questions about the things a society has been most comfortable assuming.'"
"That wasn't really what I said, and I assume he must know that," Watson said.
He said his intention was to state his belief that a person who interprets challenges to society's assumptions as radical leftism would naturally define many involved in academia as radical leftists.
"(Shapiro) contrives to misunderstand what I said in a way that would make it false when he presumably should be able to comprehend what I think are pretty clearly made assertions," he added.
Also, some of the over 750 footnotes in the back of Shapiro's book are incorrectly cited.
He twice attributes parts of one of Watson's quotes, in chapter three and then again in chapter 13, to a submission Watson wrote titled "Conservatives quick to excuse war crimes," instead of to "Link between leftists, intellectuals no accident," the piece in which the quote appeared.
He attributes another chapter three quote found in the same piece to a different submission titled "Johnson fails to accept need for dissent in life."
In quoting University of Massachusetts Professor Bill Israel saying the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were "the predictable result of American foreign policy,"
"Brainwashed" footnotes in chapter eight an opinion piece written by Shapiro.
The quote does not appear in that piece.
Daily Bruin dismissal
Shapiro, a Viewpoint columnist for nearly two years, was dismissed in 2002 for appearing on a radio show without first telling his editors, said Cuauhtemoc Ortega, the Viewpoint editor at the time.
In the book's introduction, Shapiro writes that he was fired from The Bruin "for revealing the newspaper's systematic bias in favor of the Islamic community."
The book's jacket says Shapiro was fired for his conservative views.
He said The Bruin refused to publish two of his stories about Muslims and spoke about the issue on Larry Elder's radio show shortly before being dismissed.
Ortega said Shapiro was let go not for speaking on the Larry Elder program, but for going on the program without telling an editor first.
After a different columnist was misidentified as a reporter on "The O'Reilly Factor," the Viewpoint editors drafted a "zero tolerance" policy that stated columnists could not appear on other media without first informing editors.
"It was mandatory. ... It was very clear," Ortega said.
But in his book, Shapiro writes that "columnists were not required to sign the policy, and were not legally bound by it."
Ortega said the two Shapiro pieces were not run in the paper because they were "intolerant and really insensitive to Muslim people."
Ortega said that "you can only go up to a certain point" before breaking communications board guidelines that advise against publishing or broadcasting "articles to perpetuate derogatory cultural or ethnic stereotypes."
The Bruin is not obligated to follow the guidelines, but editors choose to do so at their own discretion.
A vocal path
The cover art of the book consists of four plastic- like graduates dressed in green – "cookie cutter dolls," Shapiro said in an interview the day his book came out – with blank looks on their faces.
He laughs as he says they're reminiscent of the Stepford Wives and says he chose the design because it symbolizes his belief that universities churn out students with liberal views.
Shapiro, a political science student and Burbank native, entered UCLA when he was 16. He speaks with a fast pace, his words flying out of his mouth in short staccato steps. He still lives off- campus in the Los Angeles area and drives to school where he's finishing up his college language requirement by taking Hebrew.
In person, he's well-spoken and passionate about his beliefs.
He has short brown hair and expressive eyebrows that complement hand gestures as he speaks.
Shapiro insists that students aren't exposed to a variety of viewpoints at universities and that those who don't have strong opinions will be overwhelmed by an atmosphere dominated by liberal instructors – even if discussion is encouraged in classrooms.
"Most professors are very open to discussion. They're not sitting down and going, 'How can we brainwash the students today?'" he said.
Described as a "staunch conservative" on his Web site, benshapiroonline.com, Shapiro doesn't bow to critics. He chooses words carefully, and they're often confrontational. Close to home for many students, Shapiro refers in one opinion piece to his peers as "those crying the loudest for money from the pockets of others... the gimme generation."
Though he's loud about what he thinks, Shapiro says his intentions aren't to portray himself as a cut above the rest.
"I'm not like a lot of radicals – on both sides – who only want to hear themselves talk," he said. "I'm certainly not above anyone else."
Even so, he concedes that his readership consists largely of people who share his perspectives and that few people his own age read up on what he has to say.
To reach out to fellow collegians, Shapiro recently took a speaking tour on the East Coast, covering ground that included Boston College, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, Brown and the University of Pennsylvania.
Doug Bush, director of political affairs for College Republicans of Boston College, said he met Shapiro and chatted with him for a while when he spoke at the school. Bush said he found Shapiro "a bit of a radical," but intelligent and well-read for his age. "I don't know if I believe in everything he says, but he has a lot of information to share," Bush said.
"We had some people that really opposed his positions asking him some really difficult questions. He was really good at thinking on his feet," he said.
Bush said Saturday he ordered Shapiro's book online but hadn't yet read it, so he couldn't comment on it or any errors it contained.
Shapiro began working on "Brainwashed" the summer of 2002, and said he finished writing in nine weeks. He updated it in 2003, and it was accepted for publication shortly after.
The dedication is to his parents, "who taught me the difference between right and wrong and gave me the strength to confront falsehood."
Shapiro says while his social conservatism stems from his upbringing as an Orthodox Jew, his financial conservatism comes more from researching – "You read up and figure out whether this is what I believe," he said.
He says he hasn't chosen a set style of writing yet but added, "I can do an Ann Coulter – one liners, very caustic ... Or less caustic, more factually oriented."
And while Shapiro says he's leaning toward the latter – work that's based more on straight argument – his book contains a lot of jokes and sarcasm.
"The book is more abrasive. ... People need to laugh a little bit," he said.
In addition to his book, Shapiro is a nationally syndicated columnist, with his columns running regular on such forums as Townhall.com and World NetDaily.com.
Ortega, who worked with Shapiro during the columnist's entire tenure at The Bruin, said Shapiro's writing has, in the past, had a pattern of overexaggerating. He added he was not surprised to hear of inaccuracies in Shapiro's work.
"I wouldn't go so far as to say he tries to construe facts in the wrong way. I just think he's overzealous and because of that, he's not careful," Ortega said.
"It's your opinion, and it's your job to describe (the) opposition. But you have a responsibility to not distort what your opposition is saying, and he does that without any kind of remorse," he said.
Shapiro's book was released by Christian publisher WND books, a division of Thomas Nelson Publishers. Online, the publisher advertises a book alleging the Oklahoma City bombings had connections to Islamic terrorists.
The forward in "Brainwashed" is written by David Limbaugh, author of "Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity" and other books.
Shapiro appeared more conservative than many of his peers at Yeshiva University High School, where students are generally right-leaning because of their backgrounds, said Paul Soifer, his high school U.S. government teacher.
That Shapiro "would take a conservative position on how he would perceive a university like UCLA, that wouldn't be terribly surprising," Soifer added.
And though Shapiro has made a name for himself among conservative voices, Soifer remembers him as just another student– inquisitive and a good researcher, but still just one in a whole class of "seniors with early senioritis."
"Nothing specific sticks out," Soifer said.
After 20 years on the West Coast, Shapiro's heading to Harvard Law School for the fall. Of his move to Massachusetts, Shapiro said he's looking forward to taking up residence in a bastion some consider more liberal than California.
"It's going from the frying pan to the fire – next I'll have to go to Cuba," he said laughingly.
Correction: May 12, 2004, Wednesday
In "Book misconstrues facts" (News, May 11), the story should have said the Daily Bruin drafted a "zero tolerance" policy on staffers' appearing on other media not because a columnist was misidentified as a reporter, but because of editors' concerns that a staffer would be seen as speaking on behalf of the newspaper's staff.
Due to a production error, the last sentence of the same story was cut short and should have read: "'It's going from the frying pan to the fire – next I'll have to go to Cuba,' he said laughingly."

Grammar and punctuation of article solely that of the *senior* from UCLA.
Update: March 31, 2005.
My bad. Edited most punctuation. Had to. html really screwed since switching template.
Dare I say it's a tad biased?
Good Heavens!!!
A CHRISTIAN publisher.
DANG!
The sky is falling on your head, or was that bird poop?
Gag me with a spoon!
