AP Forgets Rage Against the Machines Guitarist,Tom Morello,Hatred
Newsbusters has this gem for all us Rage fans that HATE their politics:
AP reporter Ryan Foley’s update from Madison on Monday night included details about a rock musician causing the crowd to to roar: “At noon, guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine took to a stage on the Capitol steps to fire up the crowd. He said he flew in from California to lend his voice to the protest.”
While reporters like Adam Nagourney “worry” out loud that the Wisconsin Republicans are going to look too extreme, AP somehow left out Morello’s truly appalling and extremist stands, like speaking fondly of Philadelphia cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal and the Maoist Shining Path terrorists in Peru. If that didn’t seem pro-violence enough, then there’s Morello praying for the drowning of President Bush in 2007, as reported in the Washington Post:
Onstage, when the Nightwatchman [Morello] sang, “I pray that God himself will come and drown the president if the levees break again,” the Jammin’ Java crowd’s attitude was chilling. People were praying.
You might understand why a liberal reporter wouldn’t want to connect these dots,

Jasmine Revolution Update
Via Big Peace:
BEIJING — Jittery Chinese authorities wary of any domestic dissent staged a concerted show of force Sunday to squelch a mysterious online call for a “Jasmine Revolution” apparently modeled after pro-democracy demonstrations sweeping the Middle East.
Authorities detained activists, increased the number of police on the streets, disconnected some mobile phone text messaging services and censored Internet postings about the call to stage protests at 2 p.m. in Beijing, Shanghai and 11 other major cities.

On Sunday, police took at least three people away in Beijing, one of whom tried to lay down white jasmine flowers while hundreds of people milled about the protest gathering spot, outside a McDonald’s on the capital’s busiest shopping street. In Shanghai, police led away three people near the planned protest spot after they scuffled in an apparent bid to grab the attention of passers-by.
Many activists said they didn’t know who was behind the campaign and weren’t sure what to make of the call to protest, which first circulated Saturday on the U.S.-based, Chinese-language news website Boxun.com.

Phone Call Sparking HUGE Support
From BLACK-FIVE,
A military mom said she would do anything to answer her son’s phone call from overseas, no matter what the cost.
Some seven months ago, Lance Corporal Mark Rhyne left the little town of Woodbury, for the remote deserts of Afghanistan.
“I told my son the day he deployed as he was about to get on that bus, ‘I will stand in your steed while you are gone, I will stand,'” his mother Teresa Danford said.
On Monday, while working inside the Crane Interiors factory, Teresa Danford said she kept her word.
Mark called from Afghanistan, using a Satellite phone. It was a rare opportunity he only gets maybe once a month.
“You don’t want to miss a word because truthfully that might be the last time you hear from them,” Danford said.
Danford knew about Crane’s no cell phone policy but answered anyway…
This is beginning to gather some major steam. Many well known combat vets are sending this note around with a request to sign a petition and contact Crane Interiors:
Management of Crane Interiors suspended Teresa Danford from work for 3 days after she took a precious and rare phone call from her son, LCpl. Philip Mark Rhyne. There is a no cell phone policy in effect at Crane Interiors, which she knew she would have to violate in order to speak with her son. She had hoped that her employer would have compassion for her circumstance and over look the ban in this very invaluable case. The opportunity to hear from her loved one is few and far between, therefor rendering her unable to predict when he can issue contact nor schedule the call in that she does not violate any sort of policy that the company holds. Once the opportunity arises to hear from Mark, to ease her mind that he is alive and well, it may take up to a month plus until he is able to contact her again. Because of this, it is imperative that she guard her phone for the incoming call and take it when the occasion presents itself.
The Washington Post says the company apologized:
A Tennessee woman was suspended from her job for three days when she answered her cell phone on the job – to take a call from her son, a Marine stationed in Afghanistan.
The business, Crane Interiors, has since apologized and says Teresa Danford will be paid for the work she missed.
Benny Hinn Sued-Update to Affair
OneNewsNow has this latest update to the life we all know to be a sham:
Popular charismatic televangelist, Benny Hinn, is being sued by a Christian book publisher for allegedly violating a morality clause in their book contract.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, Strang Communications launched the suit this past week claiming that Hinn violated the morality clause when he began an ” inappropriate relationship” with another popular charismatic figure, Paula White.
The suit says Hinn was given a 300-thousand dollar advance on the first of a three-book deal with Strang.
It says that last August, Hinn acknowledged the ” inappropriate relationship” with White and agreed the publisher should get the money back. However, the suit says Strang has still not received that money.
Last summer, the National Inquirer published photos of Hinn and White going in and out of a hotel in Rome holding hands.
According to the publication, Christian Today, both denied any wrongdoing and said they simply shared a ” friendship” and that no ” immorality” existed between them.
Hinn has stated that the twice-divorced White has been an encouragement to him after his wife filed for divorce last year.
