conservative dissidents?

Instapundit linked to this a few minutes ago, saying that those who once called dissent the "highest form of patriotism" and now labeling conservative protesters "domestic terror wannabees."

I guess its all in what you dissent against....

I've been wondering what would happen if conservatives started giving Mr. Ayers and his cohorts a taste of their own medicine?

Our intention is to engage the enemy, to wear away at him, to harass him, to isolate him, to expose every weakness, to pounce, to reveal his vulnerability.
Our intention is to encourage the people, to provoke leaps in confidence and consciousness, to stir the imagination, to popularize power, to agitate, to organize, to join in every way possible the people's day-to-day struggles.
Our intention is to forge an underground, a clandestine political organization engaged in every form of struggle, protected from the eyes and weapons of the state, a base against repression, to accumulate lessons, experience and constant practice, a base from which to attack.

Now I have my answer.

does anyone need a speech writer?

The writers from the Colbert Report are offering, seeing as they do not have a job right now.

wow

The laugh track couldn't get many laughs in as Dennis Miller goes off on Sen. Harry Reid.

hitchens takes on bill maher

**Update**
My dad heard this on Laura Ingram a while ago, but I had to hear it for myself and post it. Bill Maher is an idiot, along with the people in his audience. The last segment is the best, and no matter his political affiliations, I think I like Christopher Hitchens. Comments anyone?



Ok, maybe Hitchens is a bit harsh. Via Captain's Quarters

However well or badly Ford managed his presidency, however, it seems more than a little churlish to attack him with the vigor Hitchens demonstrates in this column. During the mourning period, which is short enough even for former Presidents, a little acknowledgment of the challenges of the position should balance the criticism of the mistakes made by each. Afterwards, Hitchens would have plenty of time to set the record straight.

mr. ellison goes to congress...

... to teach us tolerance and justice?

Can you imagine the reporting were another politician to speak to a crowd that responded: Hallelujah! Jesus is Lord? I doubt that it would be portrayed in a positive light. And the early signals from Ellison are very troubling for America and especially American-Muslims.
***
Given that it's Ellison who wants to inject Islam into politics, what Muslim nation is it that Ellison can point to as an example of a tolerant and just society? Which great Muslim leaders is it he can hold up as examples of an enlightened vision for peaceful co-existence with other religions? I see no great Muslim legacy at all when it comes to advancing human or civil rights.
