Local News: Freman Hendrix calls for Detroit's mayor to resign…

Add another one to the list….

WWJ Newsradio 950 – Exclusive: Hendrix Calls for Kilpatrick Resignation, Considers Mayoral Run

Former Detroit mayoral candidate Freman Hendrix is calling on Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign.

In a one-on-one interview with WWJ’s citybeat reporter Vickie Thomas Sunday night, Hendrix said it was time for Kilpatrick to step down and let the city more forward. “This scandal has been looming for…going on four months, five months, and you guys have been calling me for months trying to get a comment from me and I do not want to appear as some political vulture perched on a tree hoping for this guy’s demise.”

“At some point you really have to put the welfare of the city, of the taxpayers, of the people who live here first, and I think if he’s honest about doing that, I don’t think there’s any other conclusion he can come to than to step aside,” Hendrix added.

He spoke at his third annual Friends, Family, and Volunteers dinner, which included hundreds of attendees, including former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown, who won part of the controversial $8.4 million whistleblower lawsuit that is tied to the ongoing mayoral text message scandal. “As you can see from this event, Detroiters are just starving for some leadership, leadership that’s honest, with integrity,” Brown said.

Hendrix also said he is considering another run for mayor, but stopped just short of making an official announcement, saying “Tonight, I’m not prepared to make that statement because it’s just not time yet.” He lost a close contest to Kilpatrick in 2005, following three years in the private sector. Before that, Hendrix served as Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor under Mayor Dennis Archer.

His website still lists events from his 2005 campaign.

Yeah, Like that will happen… Don’t hold your breath, you might turn blue and die. Detroit’s Mayor won’t resign, unless he’s convicted and sentenced to prison.

So Much for that idea….

So much for that….

Iran: No talks until U.S. stops Iraq attacks – (Via CNN.com)

An Iranian official says the government wants the United States to stop its “savage attacks” in Iraq before its envoys hold more talks with U.S. and Iraqi officials, Iran’s Fars News Agency reported.

A U.S. soldier secures the site where a bomb targeted a motorcade carrying Iraq’s first lady in Baghdad on Sunday.

“Under the current circumstances and given the U.S. widespread attacks against Iraqi people in different cities, Iran does not feel these negotiations are necessary,” an unnamed official told Fars.

The official — described as a senior member of Iran’s negotiating team — delivered the remarks as U.S. and Iraqi troops have been fighting Shiite militants in Baghdad and in Basra. The Bush administration says many of these fighters have backing from Iranian agents.

Iran and the United States held three meetings in Baghdad last year to discuss improving security in Iraq. Two meetings were at the ambassadorial level and one was at the expert level. Iraqi officials hosted the meetings.

So much for the Democrat’s idea of trying to talk to terrorists. See there? You can’t talk to savages! Idiot democrats, wanna play footsie with terrorists. Nuke ’em all, I say!

Jaun McSame has his own interesting friends….

Interesting….Indeed…

McCain finds his own radical friend — (via chicagotribune.com)

Can a presidential candidate justify a long and friendly relationship with someone who, back in the 1970s, extolled violence and committed crimes in the name of a radical ideology—and who has never shown remorse or admitted error? When the candidate in question is Barack Obama, John McCain says no. But when the candidate in question is John McCain, he’s not so sure.

Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: “I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people.”

What McCain didn’t mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers—in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

But wait there’s more….

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an
old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud
of your family,” he gushed. “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on
your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and
adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation
great.”

Which principles would those be? The ones that told
Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National
Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made
him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn’t disrupt the
1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan
the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?

Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American
history—and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said
he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as
“a prisoner of war.”

All this may sound like ancient history.
But it’s from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a
member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy’s penchant for extreme
solutions has not abated.

In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas,
he gave some advice to his listeners: “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms,
resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing
bulletproof vests. . . . Kill the sons of bitches.”

He later
backed off, saying he meant merely that people should defend themselves
if federal agents came with guns blazing. But his amended guidance was
not exactly conciliatory: Liddy also said he should have recommended
shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn’t enough to
inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets “Bill” and
“Hillary” when he practiced shooting.

Charming fellow, I’m sure. Wow, and here I thought some of friends, that I hung around with were a little strange.

The Republican spin and denial on this ought to be quite interesting…

Update: heh… just as a suspected, Surber Spins it…:

Question: What’s the latest pathetic attempt by a liberal to try to rationalize Obama’s ties to whack jobs?

Answer: Steve Chapman of the Chicago Tribune tried to equate G. Gordon Libby with Bill Ayers. Two problems: 1. Liddy did time in prison. 2. Libby did not blow anyone up. But other than the doing the time for the crime and not killing anyone, two peas in a pod. Oh for the days when Mike Royko zinged Chicago’s pols.

Yeah, but it still makes the guy a nut. Plus, no one was convicted of blowing anyone up. Nice try though.

If there was any more proof needed that Bill Clinton is an asshole…

Here it is….:

After 2 faint, Clinton cracks joke about making ’em swoon (via AP)

Former President Bill Clinton is cracking wise about his ability to make people faint, telling voters in North Carolina he didn’t think he still had it in him.

Clinton was campaigning Sunday for his wife’s presidential bid on a hot and sunny day in western North Carolina. The state’s primary is Tuesday.

After one person fell during an event in Lenoir, Clinton joked: “Somebody faints at nearly every one of these things now. At my age, I didn’t think I could make anybody faint anymore.”

A young girl walked away from an earlier event in Marion after fainting. Emergency workers brought the elderly man in Lenoir water and ice and used campaign signs to fan him. The man was alert as emergency workers took him away on a stretcher.

Ah Yes, Billy Jeff, Stay classy man… stay classy…

Hillary's knowledge of Guns… Ha! What knowledge?!?!?

Now this here, is funny.

The Story: Clinton mailing’s gun gaffe- From Ben Smith’s Blog Via Politico.com

Sen. Hillary Clinton’s mailing attacking Sen. Barack Obama’s record on guns appears to include a striking visual gaffe: The image of the gun pictured on the face of the mailing is reversed, making it a nonexistent left-handed model of the Mauser 66 rifle.

To make matters worse, a prominent gun dealer said, it’s an expensive German gun with customized features that make it clearly European.

“The gun in the photo does not exist,” said Val Forgett III, president of Navy Arms in Martinsburg, W.Va. Forgett’s company was Mauser’s agent in the United States when the gun was released, and it sold Mauser guns here again in the 1990s. “The bolt is facing to the left side of the receiver, making it a left-handed bolt action rifle, indicating whoever constructed and approved the mailer did not recognize the image has been reversed.”

Forgett said the error would be obvious to sportsmen.

“I find it laughable on its face,” he said. “It’s like a picture of Babe Ruth hitting right-handed.

D’oh! Poor Hillary… Just trying to work that Right Winger crowds. Good luck with that!

Hillary to go Nuke on Obama? Not Likely.

This should be quite interesting….

Via HufPo: Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option To Overtake Delegate Lead

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has a secret weapon to build its delegate count, but her top strategists say privately that any attempt to deploy it would require a sharp (and by no means inevitable) shift in the political climate within Democratic circles by the end of this month.

With at least 50 percent of the Democratic Party’s 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee committed to Clinton, her backers could — when the committee meets at the end of this month — try to ram through a decision to seat the disputed 210-member Florida and 156-member Michigan delegations. Such a decision would give Clinton an estimated 55 or more delegates than Obama, according to Clinton campaign operatives. The Obama campaign has declined to give an estimate.

Okay here’s why I very highly doubt that this will happen. Because if Clinton does this, it will create such a hostile environment with the Democrat Party. Plus, I highly doubt that Clinton has the clout within the party any longer to do such a thing.

So, while it’s a nice Idea, I highly doubt that it will work.

Stay Tuned.
