After we posted this video last week, we learned of the tragedy at Ft. Hood in Texas. We immediately pulled the video and edited the BACKLINE episode due the sensitive nature of what happened. We wanted all the WHACKO-TV viewers to understand, we didn't water down the message in this new show, but we did take out some rather foreshadowing comments in the piece. We apologize for Wolf Douglas, who at times, is less than a journalist.After we posted this video last week, we learned of the tragedy at Ft. Hood in Texas.... more

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was met with hostile opposition during her recent visit to Pakistan. Prominent women and tribesmen, students and journalists alike delivered the same message: Pakistanis aren't ready to endorse friendship with the United States despite an eight-year-old anti-terrorism alliance between the countries and a multi-billion-dollar new U.S. aid package.Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was met with hostile opposition during her recent... more

if you’re not an Obama acolyte and need some motivation to watch another one, imagine By The People: The Election of Barack Obama more like Rocky. Except Hillary Clinton is Apollo Creed and Barack Obama is played by Sylvester Stallone (who reportedly had to lose 175 pounds and wear baggy clothes for the role). The major difference, Barack Obama didn’t lose while getting the crap kicked out of him. He won and barely got a bruise.

According to a new book by campaign manager David Plouffe, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama seriously considered Hilary Clinton for Vice President. In the end Obama sided with Senator Joe Biden saying, "I think Bill may be too big a complication. If I picked her, my concern is that there would be more than two of us in the relationship."

Just when you think those that run our country have experience to do a good job, to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare, along comes the status quo-which happens to be greed and money and power.
Nobody can overturn the money changers tables alone. Well Jesus did.

October 20th, 2009 on Frontline is a chance to learn about how we got in this financial crisis.

Such woman should think again of gaining political recognition and respect in countries where Shiite Muslims hold sway.

It was not quite the tempest triggered by John Lennon claiming in 1966 that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. But the Gallup Poll got the winds racing through the world's TV studios Thursday with a new survey headlined, "Hillary Clinton Now More Popular Than Barack Obama." According to the Gallup numbers, 62 percent of the voters view Clinton favorably while Obama's thumbs-up rating is down to 56 percent.
The woman who ran for president as "Hillary" with no last name needed has become about as noncontroversial as, say, Meryl Streep. When she pops into view, she is generally talking about issues that unite Americans such as toughening international sanctions against Iran and punishing rapists in the Congo. Depicted in the press as one of the administration's stay-the-course hawks on Afghanistan, she has undoubtedly confounded conservatives who were convinced that her foreign policy views were a little to the left of Hugo Chavez's. Even her one sharp-edged moment in the Cabinet (responding to a student questioner in Africa by snapping, "My husband is not the secretary of state. I am.") underscored her independence from the former president.
If there is a larger moral here, it is the virtue of resilience. Aside from Al Gore and maybe John Kerry, there is no living political figure who came closer than Hillary Clinton to being president. As Elaine Kamarck, a former top adviser to Gore who teaches at Harvard's Kennedy School, points out in her new book Primary Politics, Clinton had a delegate lead over Obama based on the primaries alone. Since 2008 was obviously, in retrospect, a Democratic year, her failure to successfully contest the caucuses probably cost her a four-year lease on the Oval Office. Other losing candidates sulked and disappeared (think of Gore heading to Europe in 2001 and growing a beard). She became secretary of state without any public hint of dwelling on the might-have-beens.It was not quite the tempest triggered by John Lennon claiming in 1966 that the... more

Speaking with NBC's Ann Curry on Monday morning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unexpected revelation: She will not run for president again.
"No," she said with a laugh, responding directly to a question regarding her political aspirations. "This is a great job, it is a 24/7 job and I'm looking forward to retirement at some point."
"Clinton, who will turn 62 at the end of the month, would be nearing 70 by the time of the 2016 election, the next in which President Obama is not expected to run," The Washington Post noted.Speaking with NBC's Ann Curry on Monday morning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton... more

I write to you, America, as a Muslim-American who is frustrated at seeing both sides of my identity spreading myths about each other. In part one of this two part article, I address America from a Muslim perspective. In part two, which will follow in the coming weeks, I shall write to the Muslim community, from an American perspective.
Dear America,
Our world today is assaulted with myriad headlines describing rising extremism and terrorism, and political instability in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East. Despite the plethora of bad news, most recently we have seen a day of hope marked by the end of Ramadan, where Muslims from all nations, social classes, and sects openly united in the spirit of humility, brotherhood, thankfulness, and peace.
As human beings, you and me have a tendency to let the negative marginalize the good and the true. But in this Ramadan the unity and the message of peace and humility that nearly a billion Muslims have exhibited should not go unnoticed, nor should it be underestimated.
America, even though you are part of us (Muslims) and we are a part of you, you often fear and misunderstand the one thing that unites the billion of us around the world is peace, love, and spiritual strength. You fear our religion, Islam. I write the following to not accuse anyone or apologize on behalf of any group. In part one of this article, I speak to you America, as one Muslim who is part of the majority of Muslims standing against the Ahmedinijads, Bin Ladens, and Taliban and Al Qaeda. These men have stolen my voice... our voice. The actions of a violent minority have for too long trumped the selfless and righteous actions of the moderate majority who do good in the name of Islam.
Firstly, Muslims are not a violent people and Islam is not a violent religion. I fear you overlook the fact that the faith of Muslims has been monopolized by the corrupt despots of Muslim countries and Muslim extremists. And it is the extremists whose power is bolstered by a media that has paralyzed the voice of the Muslim majority, who in fact abhor violence and terrorism.
It can be confusing even to me because on one side we only see Muslim extremists on the TV preaching hate in the name of Islam and we barely hear the majority. As I will touch on in part two of this article, Muslims have even marginalized themselves. But America, Muslims are a community of over a billion people, most of whom live in poverty within developing countries governed by oppressive, abusive, authoritarian regimes. These very regimes remain bunkered against an alienated group of extremists who are taking to the gun instead of a potentially rigged ballot. It is our mothers and daughters and sons who are being killed on a daily basis by either violent extremists or botched missile attacks by NATO. We are against violence and terrorism America, be it from Muslim extremists or NATO bombs. We are against violence because it is we who are the primary target of most terrorist attacks today. And while we may disagree with your military actions and policies, we look up to the principles that make up America... I speak of the freedom to be critical of yourself as a society and government; the opportunities awarded by the most comprehensive education system in the world; and your effortless ability to adapt in an ever transforming world.
