VIDEO: LATEST GROUND ZERO MOSQUE AD

If you don't understand the root problem people have with the mosque at ground zero after watching this ad from Frank Gaffney's group, you may be a lost cause. Make no mistake; this mosque is the latest in a long line of symbols of Islamic conquests. It is meant to signify victory over the west. The city of Cordoba, Spain - the name given to this Ground Zero mosque is one such example. Once conquered by Muslims, the huge Christian cathedral in that city was converted to a mosque.

Hence, the name of the mosque slated for construction at Ground Zero - the Cordoba House.

REVEALED: ALVIN GREENE'S MILITARY RECORD

h/t to Barrackaid #34 on this one. We knew South Carolina Senate candidate Alvin Greene (D) served thirteen years in the military but not much else - kind of like what we know about Obama and Columbia University. Well, now we know why Alvin wasn't too excited about releasing that military record. After reading excerpts from various appraisals, the one comment that comes to mind is, 'works well under constant supervision'. This guy's story is really unmatched when you talk about how inexplicable it is.

Via the AP:

The records, which document his superiors' decisions to pass over Greene for promotion, cite mistakes as severe as improperly uploading sensitive intelligence information to a military server, and as basic as an overall inability to clearly express his thoughts and perform basic tasks.

How about this gem?

At his home in Manning on Thursday, Greene told an AP reporter who reviewed the documents with him that the evaluations show he was discriminated against by military supervisors but he did not explain what that meant.

"I'm telling you who they promote: the terrorists and the communists," said Greene, wearing a blue U.S. Air Force T-shirt. "This is why we need to overhaul the military and get these people out."

Oh, and just to prove I wasn't exagerating about that 'constant supervision' remark....

Greene is "usually capable of handling mundane tasks with supervision" but is "not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine," the reviewer wrote, also noting that Greene had received multiple disciplinary actions for failing to perform his duties.

Anyone who votes for this guy really should consider not ever voting again.

Here is a must-see video on America's most infamous candidate. I'm not sure what message is being communicated with the constant clips of LeBron James but.......

SHIRLEY SHERROD'S CONNECTION TO BILL AYERS?

As the liberal media continues to push the narrative that Shirley Sherrod was smeared by Andrew Breitbart, the blogs, talk radio, and Fox News, all of the aforementioned entities need to stand strong because Sherrod has more in her background that needs to be examined. As part of that examination, questions need to be answered about her husband's ties to a group Bill Ayers was involved with as well as the circumstances surrounding a lawsuit Shirley was involved in that was won by a group called New Communities days before she was announced as Georgia Director for Rural Development.

First up, the Bill Ayers connection. Teri O'Brien at the Illinois Review points out an interesting connection between a group Charles Sherrod belonged to and one Ayers belonged to, both in the 1960's.

...Ms. Sherrod’s husband is a former honcho in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee back in the 1960’s. You can read more about it in Bill Ayers book “Fugitive Days.” Yes, that Bill Ayers. He was involved in SNCC as well.

Ayers belonged to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) before breaking away to form the much more violent Weather Underground. Both had the same goals, just different means.

Here is one of the relevant excerpts from "Fugitive Days":

The Community Union was part of a joint national strategy of SDS and SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), the beginnings of a shift away from attacking the legal barriers to integration largely in the South, now mostly in retreat, toward organizing around de facto segregation and economic injustice everywhere. Our focus was on building a powerful force of poor people in big northern cities—the grassy grass roots, we called them—who could not only change their own lives but could change the world.

Be sure to go to the above link because there's more. Interestingly, it was all about forming an alliance to engage in Alinsky-styled Community Organizing.

Now how about that lawsuit. Tom Blumer at the Washington Examiner tells us all about some interesting circumstances just prior to the hiring of Shirley Sherrod on July 25th, 2009. As a member of the Rural Development Leadership Network, the announcement of Shirley's new job within the USDA was announced on the group's website:

RDLN Graduate and Board Vice Chair Shirley Sherrod was appointed Georgia Director for Rural Development by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on July 25. Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families (see below) has won a thirteen million dollar settlement in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.

Not only that but the lawsuit itself seems to have had some reparations overtones to it.

The lawsuit won by the Sherrods was part of a class action, known as "the Pigford case". Their group, New Communities, was the beneficiary of what the RDLN website calls, "...the largest award so far in the minority farmers law suit (Pigford vs. Vilsack).

A Must read from Tom Blumer at Washington Examiner because it appears that more people are benefitting from the Pigford case than should be. It may be the gift that keeps on giving to those who know how to take advantage of it.

The much bigger issue involves what the leftwing media and the White House want to happen. They want to smear Breitbart as someone who took a video out of context to destroy Sherrod. The last thing in the world anyone in the conservative media should do is apologize for this episode. The video of Sherrod at the NAACP banquet is damaging to both her and the NAACP, even when viewed in its entirety.

The conservative media needs to follow the example set by Cambridge police officer James Crowley. He refused to apologize and Henry Louis Gates - as well as Obama - surrendered via the "beer summit". If Crowley would have apologized, Gates would have been victorious and Obama's contention that the "Police acted stupidly" would have been justified. The same should apply here. Conservatives need to remain on offense with Shirley Sherrod, Obama, and the Liberal Media. There appears to be much more to Shirley Sherrod than meets the eye.
