Rush Limbaugh Urges a Vote for Hillary
Michael Ramirez parodies Hillary’s 3 AM television ad
Rush says vote for Hillary and Republicans to “pimp themselves” – at least tomorrow!
“I understand I’ve got a big challenge here to try to get Republicans to change their minds on this and vote for Hillary to keep her in the race, to keep that party at war with itself,” Limbaugh told listeners this week.
“It’s clear that Republicans in Texas have been listening to this program where we have advised Republicans to pimp themselves for a day and go vote in the (Democratic) primary … I just think, at this stage, the longer Hillary can stay in this, the better for us,” he was quoted by Newsmax as saying.
“If Hillary loses this thing, all of that’s going to come to a screeching halt,” Limbaugh said. “We want all the disruption in that party as possible. It’s about us winning.”
Flap urges Texas Republicans to go for it!
Vote Hillary Clinton – never thought I would write THAT.

Iran Nuclear Watch: United Nations Security Council Sanctions Round 3
Iranian technicians prepare to wash the reactor of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in 2007. The Security Council tightened UN sanctions on Iran Monday for refusing to halt nuclear fuel work as six major powers offered to resume talks with the Islamic Republic to end the standoff.
A third round of sanctions by the United Nations Security Council against Iran for their nuclear program, including continuing uranium enrichment were adopted today at the United Nations.
A prominent Revolutionary Guards commander close to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei and a long list of figures involved in Iran’s nuclear program are among those the U.N. Security Council targeted Monday with sanctions.
While the two previous Security Council resolutions were aimed at top figures and well-known companies involved in Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, the new sanctions reach deeper into the hierarchy of Iran’s nuclear program staff and Revolutionary Guards, mainly targeting technical officials.
The most well-known figure targeted in Monday’s resolution is Brigadier-General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, a top member of the elite Revolutionary Guards who now works at the Armed Forces General Staff for Logistics and Industrial Research.

So, what are the new sanctions?
- calls on all states to act under Article 41 of the U.N. Charter’s Chapter 7.
- reaffirms that Iran shall without further delay take the steps required by the December 2006 resolution calling for suspending uranium enrichment.
- decides that all states shall take the necessary measures to prevent the entry into or transit through their territories of individuals who are related to Iran’s proliferation sensitive nuclear activities or for the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.
- calls on all states to exercise vigilance over the activities of financial institutions in their territories with all banks domiciled in Iran, in particular with Bank Melli and Bank Saderat.
- calls on all states to inspect the cargoes to and from Iran, of aircraft and vessels, at their airports and seaports, owned or operated by Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line, provided there are reasonable grounds to believe that the aircraft or vessel is transporting prohibited goods.
- requests that IAEA submit a further report on whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all enrichment activities within 90 days.
- reaffirms that it shall adopt further appropriate measures under Article 41 of the U.N. Charter’s Chapter 7 if the report shows Iran has not complied with three resolutions.
Previous United Nations Security Council resolutions on Iran:
Does ANYONE really think Iran will change their nuclear program one iota because of these sanctions? They haven’t complied previously, so why now?
Toothless and meaningless sanctions imposed by the United Nations, when will the United States and Israel take action?

Iran Watch: Student Jailed Over Ahmadinejad Protest
Babak Zamanian, a student at Amir Kabir, in Tehran, is on crutches because of a beating earlier by supporters of President Ahmadinejad.
Remember the December 2006 Iranian student protests against Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
Iranian students have disrupted a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a prestigious Tehran university, setting fire to his picture and heckling him.
“Some students chanted radical slogans and inflamed the atmosphere of the meeting†at the Amir Kabir University, said the semi-official Fars news agency on Monday, which is close to Ahmadinejad.
Well, Iran and Ahmadinejad strikes back today with the sentencing of one of the protesting students to one year in jail.
Guess that will l’arn ya……..
Babak Zamanian “was given the maximum sentence for acting against national security by propaganda against the system, which is punishable by three months to one year in jail,” lawyer Behnam Daraiezadeh said.
He said he would appeal the verdict against Zamanian, who was arrested in April 2007 and released on a 500-million rial (53,000 dollars) bail.
Zamanian was a student in Amir Kabir university, one of the most political hotbeds in the capital, where President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was heckled during a 2006 speech to students.
Three other Amir Kabir students have been sentenced to jail terms of up to three years on charges of publishing anti-Islamic images in four reformist student newspapers.
Ahmad Ghassaban, Ehsan Mansouri and Majid Tavakoli denied the charges, accusing political foes of planting the images in the newspapers to discredit them. They are still being held despite expectations they would be released on bail.
Guess you better take your protests off-shore if you want to protest in the land of brotherly love – Iran.
A student shouts slogans to disrupt a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at Amirkabir university in Tehran December 11, 2006. Dozens of Iranian students burned pictures of President Ahmadinejad and threw firecrackers in an effort to disrupt his speech at a university on Monday, a presidential office spokesman said. It was first time the president, elected in a landslide in June 2005, had faced such open hostility at a public event.

Mohammed Cartoon Watch: Morocco – Cartoons Are “A Short Step from Terrorism”
One of the Mohammed cartoons that sparked riots last year throughout the Muslim world
Now, Morocco’s clerics are getting into the act in condemning Danish newpapers for reprinting the cartoons of Mohammed which previously had created riots throughout the Muslim world.
Morocco’s highest religious authority has said a decision by Danish newspapers to reprint a controversial caricature of the Prophet Mohammad was “a short step from terrorism”.
Last month Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoon, which had prompted violent protests and riots in many Muslim countries in 2006, in solidarity with the artist after three men were arrested on suspicion of planning to kill him.
Morocco’s Higher Council of Ulema said in a statement issued on Sunday that the reprinting “reflects like a mirror a surprising ethical deficiency that is a short step from terrorism, with destructive effects for all humanity”.
The MONEY QUOTE:
- It said the cartoons represented “aggression against the sacred values of Muslims” and urged authorities in countries where the cartoons have also been reprinted to “act with all haste to bring the aggressors to cease their aggression”.
In other words, governments should step in to prevent criticism of radical Islam.
Please…….

Iraq War Watch: Iran’s Ahmadinejad Says America Should Leave Iraq
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, left, and his Iraqi counterpart Jalal, Talabani, right, sit as their ministers sign bilateral agreements in Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, March 3, 2008. Ahmadinejad on Monday dismissed U.S. accusations that his country is training extremists and demanded that the Americans withdraw from Iraq.
Iran’s President Mahmound Ahmadinejad launched a barrage of criticism against the United States and the Iraq War.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday dismissed U.S. accusations that his country is training extremists and demanded that the Americans withdraw from Iraq.
Speaking in a nearly hour-long news conference at the end of an unprecedented visit to Iraq, Ahmadinejad said the U.S. allegations — that Iran is training Shiite militants who target American troops and Muslim rivals — don’t matter to the Iranians.
“Of course American officials make such remarks and such statements, and we do not care … because they make statements on the basis of erroneous information,” said the hard-line Iranian leader, who smiled through much of the session. “We cannot count on what they say.”
He said the foreign presence in Iraq was an “insult to the regional nations and a humiliation.”
Of course, Iran wants to be the BIG DOG and exert HEGEMONY in the region. But, most Iraqis are not Persians and have fought Iran for decades.
So, why does Iraq allow Ahmadinejad a platform to attack America?
It is obvious. They are playing both sides against the middle.
The United States will long have a presence in Iraq no matter which political party wins the Presidency in November – to fight Iran’s hegemony and its goal to dominate the Middle East.

Day By Day by Chris Muir March 3, 2008
The GOP HAS been politically correct in downplaying/discouraging the use of Barack Obama’s middle name of Hussein. They are worried that name calling would taint Republican arguments against Obama’s left-wing policy stances.
Flap agrees.
The GOP should stay with a discussion of issues and ideas. They are RIGHT on those and will ride them to victory in November.
