Has there ever been a more absurd article than the one Rolling Stone has just published? The magazine alleges that at the behest of Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, the Army initiated “psychological operations” against members of Congress in order to…
“Is Wisconsin our Egypt?” asks left-wing talk radio host Rose Aguilar. Uh, no — and it’s not even close. In fact, these two demonstrations could not be more radically different. The Egyptian protesters were seeking to be liberated from a…
I’m glad that Aaron Goldstein has drawn attention to the unconscionable savagery and sexual violence that pro-Mubarak thugs masquerading as protesters inflicted upon 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan. It’s important to note, as Aaron does, that the angry and sadistic…

Aaron Goldstein discovers some examples of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiment amid the hundreds of thousands of Egyptian protesters and declares that, voilà! — the protesters “hold Israel responsible for their lot in life under Mubarak.” But there is no real evidence to support that…
