Hear What JD Vance's Ex-boss Thinks about Him Now

Jul 17, 2024 | David Frum says JD Vance used to write for him on a publication called FrumForum under a pseudonym. Frum talks about how Vance's views have changed on policy and what he could do to the Republican party.

David Frum says that Vance is such an intellect. Really? If he were to be such an intellect, would he endorse a man like Trump? Trump is the most ridiculous, most dangerous man I can think of in my lifetime. Americans are going to be fools to fall for Trump a second time. – © Mark Alexander

'My People Love Me': Moammar Gadhafi Denies Demonstrations Against Him Anywhere in Libya
ABC NEWS: U.S. Exclusive: Christiane Amanpour Sits Down for an Interview With Libya's Embattled Leader


I interviewed Col. Moammar Gadhafi this evening, when he told me he could not step down because he is not a president or king, and denied there were demonstrations against him anywhere in Libya.

"They love me. All my people with me, they love me," he said. "They will die to protect me, my people."

We conducted the interview at a beachfront restaurant in the Corniche, a coastal road on Tripoli's Mediterranean coast. Dressed in his flowing trademark robes and gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses, Gadhafi looked every inch the flamboyant character he's known to be. The longtime leader, who didn't seem to be surrounded by huge amounts of security, seemed relaxed and focused. Walking unabashedly into the restaurant, Gadhafi wanted to show he's not hiding in any underground bunker and that he believes he's still very much in charge.

Gadhafi said he wanted to speak to the press to get the truth out, and he spent more than an hour with us trying to put forth his side of the story.

The Libyan leader laughed when I asked him whether he would step down in response to calls against violence by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama.

"Would anyone leave his homeland? Why would I leave Libya?" Gadhafi said, laughing.

He invited the United Nations and any other organization to come to Libya and do a "fact finding mission" and questioned how they could freeze assets, impose sanctions and an arms embargo, and implement a travel ban based purely on media reports alone. >>> REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK BY CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, TRIPOLI, Libya | Monday, February 28, 2011

Christiane Amanpour Goes Over the Top!
With thanks to Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, for it was on his fine website that I came across this story:

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY (IBD): Global Jihad: CNN's chief apologist for Islam, Christiane Amanpour, has gone too far this time. Not content to just whitewash jihad, she says Jews and Christians are terrorists, too.

According to her new three-part series, "God's Warriors," militant Islamists are really no different than right-wing Christians or Jews. So who are we in the West to judge?

Of course, it's cultural relativism — and journalism — at its worst. What's stunning is the lack of evidence Amanpour provides to support her case.

That CNN would give her six prime-time hours to peddle such tendentious trash to a public still under real threat from Islamic terror speaks volumes about the network's agenda.

The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America slammed the series as "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American TV.

CAMERA was being kind. Amanpour's premise that Christianity and Judaism have spawned just as many terrorists as Islam is absurd on its face.

To be sure, not all Muslims are terrorists. But the vast majority of terrorists are Muslim, or at least claim to be Muslim. Almost all international terror is carried out, falsely or not, in the name of Islam. The data are simply overwhelming.

In contrast, history has produced only a handful of fanatics who commit violence in the name of Christianity or Judaism. Those who do are summarily arrested and punished.

They aren't held up as martyrs. There are no U.S. posters celebrating abortion clinic bombers, or Israeli history books canonizing Jewish settlers who attack Palestinians.

But Amanpour, an Iranian immigrant whose father is a Muslim, wants to change that reality.

She and her Islamic apologist pal Karen Armstrong — a "scholar" she returns to throughout her "documentary" — sugar-coat jihad as inner struggle against sin and not warfare. If you want militancy, they argue, look no further than fundamentalist Christians. Amanpour’s Apologia (more)
