VIDEO: WOMAN ARRESTED AT AUSTIN AIRPORT FOR REFUSING GOV'T GROPE JOB

Claire Hirschkind was arrested at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AIBA) for refusing to go through checkpoint scanners and then refusing the intrusive TSA junk-touching pat down. Hirschkind's reason for not going through the scanner? She claimed she has the equivalent of a pacemaker in her chest. Her reason for being more sensitive than most about a government-sanctioned groping? She claimed to be a rape victim.

There are many absurdities revealed in this story but among them were two passengers interviewed by the KVUE reporter. Each said they felt safer as a result of passengers like Hirschkind having to go through the process. Here is the video report from Austin's ABC affiliate - KVUE:

Now, in light of those two individuals who feel safer as a result of passenger groping, how about this story about a pilot whistleblower who video recorded what takes place on the tarmac as passengers upstairs have their junk tactility inspected - virtually no security at all. What did he get for his trouble? A visit from the Feds:

REP. KEITH ELLISON SHOWS HOW ISLAM AND MARXISM CAN CO-HABITATE

While speaking at the Network of Spiritual Progressives Conference in June, 2010 Keith Ellison openly wished that U.S. borders would become an 'irrelevancy' but now we're learning more about what went on at this conference, courtesy of Aaron Klein. Ellison's rhetoric didn't end there. He clearly demonstrated what can only be described as disgust for this country. Why would such a person want to be an elected official? Apparently, also in attendance were some Marxists. Among them was Michael Lerner, who edits Tikkun Magazine which is pro-Palestinian and Cornell West, an avowed Marxist.

At WND, Klein links to an article written by Marta Mossburg at the Baltimore Sun, who gave an account of the conference back in July:

Mossburg wrote that Lerner used the conference to bolster support for Obama.

"We're here to support Obama. …We're here to help him to be the Obama Americans thought they elected," she quoted Lerner as saying.

Lerner said Obama attended Tikkun meetings in Chicago and used to read the magazine, according to conversations he had with Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign.

It would make sense that Lerner's world view aligns with that of Obama. Lerner used to be an activist in Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the same group that birthed the Weather Underground. Mossburg also reported that Lerner compared the Tea Party to Hitler at least five times.

VIDEO: BURKA WOMAN

Set to the music of Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman,' comedian Saad Haroon has released a video called 'Burka Woman.' Unfortunately for Haroon, he should have known there would be those in the world who would take great offense to such mockery. Muslim bloggers are actually calling for this man to be stoned to death. Among the reasons for the outrage is that Haroon provided the West a chance to laugh at Islam, which cannot be tolerated.



U.K. Telegraph has more on the controversy.
