Man reports Obama fans threaten his life

A spokesman for a political action committee that recently released an ad questioning Sen. Barack Obama's statements about his faith says supporters of the Democratic presidential candidate are trying to scare him with vulgarities and implied threats.

"Intimidation by Obama supporters is in vogue," said Floyd Brown, chief of the National Campaign Fund.

The senator has gone so far as to say he would "fire" any campaign workers that were caught taking the low road, he said.

"Yet when I participate, I find myself having my life threatened," Brown said.

"I challenge Sen. Obama to denounce the thuggish behavior of his partisans. Threats of violence and intimidation are not a mature response to any campaign advertisement," said Brown. "Sen. Obama cannot say out of one side of his mouth he wants a clean campaign and then allow his people to threaten me to 'watch my back.'

Fluoride unsafe for dialysis patients? I'm not sure if it is safe for ANYBODY!

Fluoride may be harmful to people with chronic kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation admits.

In a new report, the NKF acknowledged patients with chronic kidney disease should be warned that fluoride may pose an additional risk to their condition, but it has not issued a press release to spread the word. Daniel Stockin of the Lillie Center, Inc., a public health training firm that has works to end fluoridation, said the effects of fluoride can be detrimental, and it is imperative that the foundation take responsibility and distribute the new information.

"The kidneys try very hard to eliminate fluoride from the body, but in doing so the kidney tissue is exposed to concentrated amounts of toxic fluoride." he told WND. "Kidney patients must be told the whole story about fluoride. Fluoride is acknowledged to be slightly less toxic than arsenic and slightly more than lead."

WAIT A Minute!!! More toxic than lead but they add it to our drinking water? I quit drinking tap water years ago, and I try to get rid of all traces of toothpaste when I brush. More toxic than LEAD? Yipes!

Did gospel of Judas show mislead millions?

More than two years after National Geographic released a book and aired a documentary about the gospel of Judas asserting that the biblical traitor really was a hero, an increasing number of scholars are now casting doubts on the controversial claim.

The latest criticism comes in the most recent issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education's magazine The Chronicle Review, where a lengthy 5,000-word story tells how the National Geographic project has divided longtime scholarly friends and co-workers, with dissenters saying the National Geographic team -- led by Marvin Meyer, a professor of religious studies at Chapman University -- mistranslated the gospel of Judas so badly that it ended up saying the opposite of what a proper translation would have rendered. The subhead on the story asks, "Did a 'dream team' of biblical scholars mislead millions?"

Communist band opens for Obama

A hip rock band that features the Soviet national anthem and communist-inspired lyrics was on stage to open for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama at his record-breaking Portland, Ore., rally that attracted 75,000.

The Decemberists, a Portland-based group with a large local following, also closed the May 18 event.

The Decemberists typically begin their concerts with a Russian-language recording of the USSR's national anthem.

A YouTube video shows the Decemberists beginning an April 31, 2007, concert at Messiah College in Grantham, Pa., with the anthem.

"Decemberists" refers to an uprising at Senate Square in St. Petersburg Dec. 14, 1825, when a group of Russian army officers led about 3,000 soldiers in protest as Nicholas I assumed the throne, after Czar Alexander died without an heir.

The Decemberists have posed for publicity photos in period Russian costumes with the red flag of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 waving behind them.

PETA's Sexy TV ads show cats in 'kitty porn'

A new campaign featuring cats engaged in the act of making kittens is apparently too frisky for some television networks which are banning the "kitty porn." The public service announcement, titled "Sex and the Kitty," a take-off of the new movie "Sex and the City," is produced by PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The spot shows animatronic cats in heat, to say the least, as it focuses attention on the need for animal birth control.

The animal-rights group issued a release, claiming its PSA was banned from MTV.

Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography

Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years.

Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.

But his career disintegrated Dec. 6 with the unsealing of a federal grand jury indictment, issued three months earlier, that charged him with two counts of distributing and one count of receiving Internet images of child pornography. KGO fired him Dec. 31.

Is the Newspaper as we know it about to be history?

Pick almost any American newspaper company and you can tell a similar story. The ABC reported that for the 530 biggest dailies, average circulation in the past six months was 3.6% lower than in the same period a year earlier; for Sunday papers, it was 4.6% lower. Ad revenues are plunging across the board: by 22.3% at Media General, for example. In 2007 total newspaper revenues fell to $42.2 billion, not to be sniffed at, certainly, but a lot less than the peak of $48.7 billion in 2000.

Much of this decline is being blamed on the rise of the internet, which offers free, round-the-clock coverage, and which has provided a new, better home for classified advertising, once the bedrock of most newspapers’ revenue. But some of the fall in revenues is actually due to the economic slowdown in America, and especially in the housing market, which contributes a large slice of classified advertising.

Last day to save Christian radio?

Today is the last day for public comments on a proposed Federal Communications Commission rule change some say would threaten the licenses of Christian radio stations from coast to coast.

At issue is a proposal that would require every radio station to take programming advice from community advisory boards representative of the area's population.

Advocates of Christian programming say that would require Christian broadcasters to seek advice from non-Christians and even those opposed to the Christian message. Some radio stations fear organized groups of atheists, for instance, could demand representation on the new FCC-mandated advisory boards that would factor into licensing decisions.

Will New FCC Regs Kill Christian Radio?


These rule changes could:
  1. Require Community Advisory Boards: One board overseeing all broadcasters in that area. Appointed individuals who may not be friendly to the Christian mission of the station.
  2. Require Additional Staffing: Adding tens of thousands of dollars in additional monthly expense to each affected station (even including some of our smaller facilities which ultimately might force us to leave the air in some areas).
  3. Force Many of Our Translator Stations Off The Air: This rule would give priority to many new Low Power FM stations (LPFM) rather than existing translator stations. This means many of our translators would no longer be able to carry Christian programming.
    Check the page at the K-Love Website to see how to petition the FCC to help keep Christian radio on the air.

The Cult Of Oprah


A YouTube video which features talk show host Oprah Winfrey denying Jesus as the only way to God and promoting New Age ideas has received over 5 million views and is still climbing.

The under seven-minute video montage, entitled "The Church of Oprah Exposed," was posted about month ago and has since claimed the Top Favorites spot in the Web site's News & Politics category.

One clip in the video shows Oprah blatantly denying Jesus as the only way to God.

"How can there be only one way to heaven or to God?" Oprah asked her audience in a show taped years ago.

When one woman in the audience asked, "What about Jesus?" Oprah defiantly answered, "What about Jesus?...There couldn't possibly be one way."

Gore Used Fictional Video to Illustrate ‘Inconvenient Truth’


It goes without saying that climate realists around the world believe Nobel Laureate Al Gore used false information throughout his schlockumentary "An Inconvenient Truth" in order to generate global warming hysteria.

On Friday, it was revealed by ABC News that one of the famous shots of supposed Antarctic ice shelves in the film was actually a computer-generated image from the 2004 science fiction blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow." [audio available here]

'Expelled' makers go on offensive against 'thought police'


A court challenge to the new movie "Expelled: No Intelligence allowed," by Ben Stein is nothing more than an attempt on the part of the pro-evolution believers in the science community to stifle the free expression and debate of ideas, movie officials say. The groundbreaking movie is scheduled to open in more than 1,000 theaters on Friday. "Said Executive Producer Walt Ruloff. "It is interesting that these efforts are made less than 10 days before the movie debuts and involve those who continually seek to thwart open debate.

"While bullying tactics may work against some individuals who are trying to explore the origins of life, it will not work against us. We certainly will not allow a small group of self-appointed gatekeepers to infringe our rights of free speech and our obligation to expose them for what they are -- namely, intellectual thugs unwilling to accept any dissent from Darwinian orthodoxy," he said.

‘IDOL GIVES BACK’ ... TO PRO-ABORTION GROUPS


By the close of Wednesday night’s telethon, the campaign raised $60 million for Children’s Defense Fund, Children’s Health Fund, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria, Make it Right, Malaria No More, and Save the Children.“’Idol Gives Back,’ on the surface, seems to be motivated by good intentions,” said Erik Whittington, director for American Life League’s youth program. “But, the reality is that American Idol is funding non-profits, such as Save the Children and The Children’s Defense Fund, that promote immorality and abortion on demand.”
