Medical marijuana dispensary operator Charles Lynch, 47, is facing a government-recommended five years in federal prison -- even though he meticulously followed state and local laws. Under federal law, Lynch could receive up to 100 years. At a hearing Thursday, the judge in the case indicated a decision on sentencing will be delayed until June 11.
Conclusive proof: Bush and Kournikova - TERRORISTS!
When Barack and Michelle Obama exchanged a congratulatory fist bump after he secured the Democratic nomination, a Fox News anchor enlightened us by describing the move as "possibly a terrorist fist jab."
Using Fox's unassailable logic, it has now been conclusively determined that former President George H.W. Bush and tennis star Anna Kournikova are ALSO dreaded terrorists... Guards! Seize them!
How helpful of Fox to aid us in recognizing tell-tale signs of being a terrorist! Now we can all lend a hand to our patriotic fiends, er, friends at Homeland Security. Thank you, Fox News, for being so educational and for elevating political discourse in this country to a new level.
What would we do without you, Fox? Why, only yesterday, we learned on Fox News that Michelle doesn't rate being called his "wife." Noooo... you must remember, these are black people we're talking about. She's his baby mama.
Gee whiz, I can hardly wait to get to the ghetto and show off my new Fox-imbued hipness to all my homies! This is gonna be swell... Er, I mean, tight!
Props to my homies at More Muslim Than Obama, to whom credit goes for finding the above Bush/Kournikova picture. Check 'em out if you enjoy political grins.
While commenting on Hillary's RFK gaffe, Liz Trotta on Fox News Channel first referred to Barack Obama as "Osama" and then laughed that they should both be killed.
TROTTA: And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that sombody knock off Osama — Obama. Well, both, if we could.
HOST: Talk about how you really feel.
Liz Trotta is an employee of Fox News and is former New York bureau chief for The Washington Times.
Fox News is obviously still upholding its "high journalistic standards"... Can you say, "shill for the Republican Party"? I thought you could.
Right-wing pundits on Fox News and other corporate shill broadcast outlets have regularly called Sen. Barack Obama by the name "Osama" in a systematic propaganda campaign to convince the American public that the liberal Democratic senator and presidential candidate is somehow connected to terrorists.
In a similar vein and for identical reasons, reactionary right-wingers love the fact that Obama's middle name is "Hussein," and they often call him that to evoke the visceral fear and loathing response by which they are so prone to control the masses.
As if she were providing a ghoulish punchline to that long-running propaganda campaign, Trotta made it clear that the conclusions that Fox's right-skewed viewers should draw were (1) that Sen. Obama and Osama bin Laden are basically equivalent; and (2) they both deserve to be assassinated.
