Just a little more hate and contempt for free speech from the left
Posted by iusbvision on February 16, 2010
Keeping track of the progressives contempt for the First Amendment is becoming a full time job.
Congressman Alan Grayson says that his criticis should be in jail for five years…. LINK.
They tried to get Hadassah Lieberman fired because her husband, Senator Joe Lieberman, opposed one of the health care boills, the one that would expand the already broke medicare to people at age 55.
Blogger Jane Hamsher, a movie producer (“Natural Born Killers”) and political activist, went after Mrs. Lieberman as Sen. Lieberman was refusing to vote for a health-care reform bill that included expanding Medicare to people as young as 55. Hamsher claimed that because Mrs. Lieberman was a lobbyist and had worked for the pharmaceutical industry, she should be fired from her position as global ambassador for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity.
Hamsher says that when people run for the cure, or donate to Komen, they don’t expect their money to go to someone who helps funnel funds to pharmaceutical companies that are also fighting health-care reform.
If “Huh?” is trying to escape your lips, don’t fight it. Meanwhile, let’s pause for a few facts, easily accessible thanks to that techno-geezer, Alexander Graham Bell:
Hadassah Lieberman is not and has never been a lobbyist. She did work for some pharmaceutical companies — Hoffman-La Roche in New York in the 1970s before she married Lieberman, and Pfizer, also in New York, from 1982 to 1985. Later, from 1993 to 1997, she worked for Apco, a global public relations firm that represents corporations, including several drug companies.
More facts: Mrs. Lieberman is not paid in her role as global ambassador for Komen, though she does get a check for consulting work she performs under a separate agreement. According to Komen spokeswoman Pamela Stevens, Komen has never funneled money to pharmaceutical companies. Susan G. Komen grants totaling $450 million have gone to research institutions in the United States and abroad. A separate $900 million has gone to programs in communities worldwide for education, screening and treatment. An additional $50 million will go to research in the coming year.
So, why again should Hadassah Lieberman be fired?
Because Jane Hamsher says so.
Hamsher, who is a cancer survivor, as are other members of her family, apparently has taken her personal suffering and made it personal with Hadassah Lieberman. On her blog, Firedoglake, she launched a campaign for readers to pressure the Komen organization to oust Lieberman. She is also urging Komen-friendly celebrities such as Christie Brinkley and Ellen DeGeneres to do the same.

Professor who went on shooting spree at Univ. of Alabama was a “left wing extremist”
Posted by iusbvision on February 16, 2010
Police in Huntsville, Ala., charged Bishop, 44, with capital murder after she allegedly opened fire on six colleagues at a faculty meeting Friday, killing three. Afterward, she calmly called her husband and asked him to pick her up as if nothing had happened, said police Chief Henry Reyes.
`snip
Bishop acknowledged at the time being questioned in the bombing attempt of a Harvard medical doctor evaluating her on doctorate work, a professor with whom Bishop was known to quarrel, Fluckiger said.
Reyes confirmed he is working with the FBI to learn more about why Bishop was a suspect in the attempted bombing of Dr. Paul Rosenberg, who received a double-pipe bomb in the mail on Dec. 19, 1993. He ran from his Newton home with his wife, escaping without injury. The bomb never exploded.
“She was quite cavalier about it,” Fluckiger said of Bishop’s description of her interview with police. She said Bishop “grinned” as she described being asked by cops whether she’d ever taken stamps off an envelope and fastened them onto something else. “I cannot tell you what the grin meant,” Fluckiger said.
~snip
A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was “obsessed” with President Obama to the point of being off-putting.
Of course she was, a majority of professors are. So whats is the difference between this lady and Bill Ayers, she eventually got busted.

Kate Quigley – American Hero
Posted by iusbvision on February 16, 2010
The 1986 Dodge Ram pickup coughs and sputters. It threatens to slide back down the slushy hill, until Kate Quigley finds its sweet spot, shifting it into four-wheel drive.
“All right,” she says as the tires grab. “Let’s go save some dogs.”
Quigley — known widely as “the dog lady” and “Miss Kate” — works six days a week, driving into high-poverty neighborhoods to look for animal abuse and neglect. Knocking on doors, talking to owners, leaving supplies.
By borrowing pets to have them spayed and neutered, she stops the misery of neglect from repeating itself litter after litter.
Inside the truck, a copy of the Serenity Prayer hangs a little cockeyed on the glove compartment, stuck there to remind her: Most of the animals she meets will continue living in squalid conditions. Outdoor dogs, they will never know the softness of a living room rug.
Quigley brings armloads of straw to cover muck and chew toys for dogs to gnaw away their boredom.
“You have to make allowances for what you can and cannot do. At the end of the day, if we can change the life of even one dog, it matters.”
Quigley has worked for both Spay & Neuter Kansas City and No More Homeless Pets KC as the outreach person canvassing neighborhoods. She works with city animal control officers.
Last year she brought in 1,000 pets — 438 cats and 562 dogs — to be spayed and neutered, said Gail Longstaff, president of No More Homeless Pets KC. Quigley gave away 95 doghouses and 14,700 pounds of dog food. She talked to people in 3,030 households.
