This Week’s Topics:

–William Murray, Chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition in Washington DC joins us to discuss why he is against the Lower Manhattan Community Center, why he claims it is at Ground Zero, is a Mosque, and discusses why he can understand claims that Barack Obama is a Muslim, and we wonder what the remaining troops in Iraq will be doing.

–The iPad giveaway continues, and people wonder if we’ll ship to Singapore.

–Barack Obama’s “out of Iraq” speech contained few surprises, drew varied and amazing criticism from the right involving George W. Bush, family pictures, and more.

–After almost two years of complaining that George W. Bush is mentioned too much when discussing what Barack Obama is and is not doing, conservative are angry that George W. Bush’s actions prior to Obama taking office were not discussed enough during Obama’s speech.

–During a story about poor treatment of US troops, instead of focusing on poor pay, poor post-war treatment, or sending troops into preemptive dubious wars, Fox News chooses to focus on the unlikely possibility that some troops will not receive their absentee ballots.

–Judge Andrew Napolitano refers to Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann as a well-known expert on the constitution, and we wonder what it says about Andrew Napolitano.

–Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally in Washington DC, including Beck’s fixation on Martin Luther King, the overall boring nature of the entire rally, Beck weeping during his speech, and more.

–Sarah Palin showed up at the Restoring Honor rally as well, and we can be sure she did plenty of refudiating, while Glenn Beck thanked God for a $600,000 donation made to the rally.

–North Korea gets a Facebook account, claims to like men, and posts incredible videos including dogs at a North Korean zoo with bizarre music, and incredible techno music over a North Korean cityscape. We wonder if North Korean likes men as a sign of misogyny, or as an indication the country is itself homosexual.

–A New York cabbie is stabbed after being asked by 21-year-old Michael Enright whether he is a Muslim, and we look at the entire story including possible connections to recent media outrage over the so-called Ground Zero Mosque, responsible commentary from Joe Scarborough, and the expected denials from Fox News and Laura Ingraham.

–New station airing Midweek Politics in New York and Ohio.

–A fascinating voicemail left on the Midweek Politics line from a woman claiming David Pakman is both a complete idiot, and intelligent and handsome, as well as a handwritten letter that we cannot tell if is real or a parody.

–Now that President Obama has pulled enough troops out to get below the 50,000 mark, is this really the end of the Iraq war? What would it take for the US to go back in? Plus, John McCain says Bush deserves credit for the end of the war, and media coverage of the drawdown varied greatly depending on who was reporting.

–Yet another act of domestic terrorism in the US, and we discuss why domestic right wing terror is presumed to be “lone gunmen” and “isolated incidents,” while individual foreigners committing similar acts are referred to as terrorists in the context of the Global War on Terror.

–Two new oil spills, one in Michigan and another in Louisiana.

–Faith healing in Oregon continues, with Alayna Wyland being taken away from her parents who chose to pray for her and deliberately leave her without medical care for a hemangioma around her eye, which has created a tennis ball sized growth around her left eye. The Wylands are from the Followers of Christ church in Oregon City, Oregon, a church from which 20 children have died from treatable illnesses during the last three decades as a result of their parents choosing to pray instead of get medical treatment.

–Mike Huckabee and “Doctor” Tim LaHaye discuss the end times and the apocalypse, which naturally are being brought on by the Obama administration.
