When Guns Are Outlawed

Guess what happens.

Score another one for people who can’t tell weapons from violence.

A Home for Jew-Haters

Guess where?

Update:

Charles Johnson at LGF seems to have kicked over a rock. Look here, here, here, and here.

Update 2:

Now it’s just getting silly. And the response is even sillier, albeit predictable.

Heh:

Over at Instapundit a reader writes:

The Community Blogs at Obama 08 are no more “official” than the rantings of BDS sufferers at an Obama rally. I have a blog there, just to prove how easy it is to get one, and Senator Obama has ZERO chance of getting my vote. You could have one. It’s as simple as signing up. There’s no vetting process of any kind.

Any nut with an axe to grind can post any offensive material on the Community Blogs, and the Obama campaign will be unaware unless someone raises a stink. In fact, it’s entirely possible that a McCain operative could go on the site, create a blog, post offensive material, and then leak the URL to LGF to “prove” how disreputable the Senator’s supporters are. Shades of Dan Rather!

Granted, it’s possible. I suspect the number of McCain operatives who think that way is pretty low. (I wouldn’t put it past some Hillary people right about now.) But isn’t offering your presidential campaign web site as a wide-open, un-moderated blogging host, you know, a bad idea?

I’m waiting to see a first sign of good judgment from this young man. But I’m not holding my breath.

Update 3:

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

Blind to our Enemies

Michael Ledeen has a must-read column on WSJ.

By now, there is very little we do not know about such regimes, and such movements. Some of our greatest scholars have described them, analyzed the reasons for their success, and chronicled the wars we fought to defeat them. Our understanding is considerable, as is the honesty and intensity of our desire that such things must be prevented.

Yet they are with us again, and we are acting as we did in the last century. The world is simmering in the familiar rhetoric and actions of movements and regimes – from Hezbollah and al Qaeda to the Iranian Khomeinists and the Saudi Wahhabis – who swear to destroy us and others like us. Like their 20th-century predecessors, they openly proclaim their intentions, and carry them out whenever and wherever they can. Like our own 20th-century predecessors, we rarely take them seriously or act accordingly. More often than not, we downplay the consequences of their words, as if they were some Islamic or Arab version of “politics,” intended for internal consumption, and designed to accomplish domestic objectives.
