Quality Reporting

LittleGreenFootballs, which my sister-in-law has gotten me into, had a number of excellent topics today, some which are inter-connected. While LGF is usually very good, today just seemed to stick out.
A sad issue in America today is the vile hate on the ends of the political spectrum: particularly the left. While the right has its kooks (Pat Robertson's statement last week was pretty unintelligent), the far-left seems to have been overtaken by a purely anti-Bush/conservative idealism that has stretched far beyond the norms of thinking to come up with faults of the current administration, and to blame the United States for much of the world's problems. This hate is stronger nowhere more than San Francisco, which by far housed the most liberal voting counties in last year's elections. Recently, as LGF notes, they had an interesting art fair:

The San Francisco chapter of an organization called “9/11 Truth Alliance” recently held a contest for artwork accusing the Bush administration of being responsible for the 9/11 atrocities.

With a special category.

For kids.

The artwork speaks for itself. This was the most disturbing one to me:I'm not sure if the pictures represented are more disturbing or the words that are very hard to read on different parts of the drawing.

The text on the actual drawing says-

I believe the comments by the "artist" speak for themselves.

LGF points out that the media sometimes helps the left get out their message.

LGF also points out others examples in which there are those on the far left who try to pin the blame on President Bush for things which are clearly beyond any human control - such as Hurricane Katrina.
Mr. Johnson (Charles Johnson writes LittleGreenFootballs) also discusses President Bush's call on Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to take action against the terrorists among them, notably Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Bush called Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza the first step toward creating a democracy for the Palestinians. “It took political courage to make that decision,” Bush said of the withdrawal of Jewish settlers.

“And now it’s going to take political courage by the Palestinians and ... Abbas to step up, reject violence, reject terrorism and build a democracy,” he added during a speech in El Mirage, Arizona.

Add in this little note:

A senior Bush administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issues, said the White House believes that Abbas already has the means to restrain the groups responsible for attacks on Israel.

But, as LGF noted earlier in the day [from the Jerusalem Post], he clearly is not - even within his own party.

On Monday afternoon, security forces arrested a 14-year-old Palestinian at the Hawara checkpoint north of Nablus, caught attempting to smuggle three pipe bombs.

Paratroopers and military police became suspicious of the teenager, identified as Hassan Khalifa of the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, as he carried a bag containing a box through the checkpoint. They demanded that he pass through the metal detector, and when he set off an alarm he was inspected and the pipe bombs in the box were discovered.

Border Police sappers were called in to blow up the pipe bombs, that contained explosives, shrapnel and glass balls.

Khalifa's 16-year-old brother was arrested at the same checkpoint some months ago also attempting to smuggle pipe bombs. Officials said the Khalifa clan is known for its affiliation with the Fatah al-Aksa Brigades.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Johnson and Roger L. Simon (and others) are in the process of creating Pajamas Media (name to be changed). What it will be is still unclear: But it is assured of being interesting, based on its creators - two of the most recognized bloggers in the business.
I, for one, can't wait.
