In 1911, AFL President Sam Gompers declared Labor Day to be “McNamara Brothers Day,” in honor of the two men accused of bombing the viciously anti-union Los Angeles Times building in 1910. Twenty people died in the explosion. It was widely assumed the two iron worker activists were being framed. Labor attorney Job Harriman joined Clarence Darrow in defending them. Harriman, backed by labor, ran for mayor of Los Angeles. He won the open primary, and would have been elected, until the McNamaras, on Darrow’s advice, and without telling Harriman, changed their plea to guilty four days before the election. Los Angeles stayed an open shop town for two more decades.

That’s the incident that occured after labor communist/socialists got mad. I think they decided that going to jail wasn’t a good idea, and went to journalism school soon after, getting jobs at the paper.

Ah! Well I’m sure that the ethnic diversity requirement(?) makes having an Islamic extremist on staff at your paper ok then, I guess. I’m sure he has no problem keeping his personal bias out of his reporting of the London bombings.

Sorry for being repititious here but follow this comment at The Belgravia Dispatch. There are other disucssions on this subject. This is all about a war of the validity of ideologies. Follow the links in around the Blogos it actually comes back here to another thread.

In scanning this thread you all are onto something . I wouldn’t spend too much time debating the nits though. This is a frame of reference issue. It’s the difference in how the Western world value’s life and the Islamofascists rejoice in death. While Pape has taken hits for his term “rational behavior” Dean at Dean Wprld’s reminds folks this is from the poltical science meaning and not that the bombers was acting rationally in the mental sense. They are robotic delivery agents of a cult.

The crux is we are dealing with a cult that sprang from the Arabian and North African deserts that predated Islam. This culture has pathological traits in terms of interactions with modern society.

Don’t overlook a concealed hand of another in this strategic play either - The Chinese. China and via Norks and Dr. Kahn have provided the ME players with missile and nuke tech. This is the real enemy. The Jihadist cause is being exploited by them to take us down a notch or two so they can move into the power vacuum.

And while I’m at it please go to Dr.Zin’s site

and read about the brave Iranian journalist near death in prison putting his very life on the line to call the world’s attention to the struggle of the Iranian people for freedom. The Iranian people will overthrow this tryannical regime if they believe they have the moral support of the American people and the free world. Of course the LL and the MSM are on target with this story. Further like all totalitarian regimes, the Mullahs are actively blocking and filtering sites from the outside world. Seems the “Big Lie” looses it’s power to control when there are alternative informational sources available. Remember Hitler had his “final solution.” The Islamofascists have the “Great and Little Satans” as scapegoats for the failures of their ideology.

The secret is we must know our enemy [Islamofascism] and the ideology that drives it. We need to exploit the weaknesses of the enemy. We need to drive a stake literally through the very heart of the enemy (e.g. the Mad Mullahs of Iran would be a close first) and wipe this cult-like religious ideology that evolved from the sands of the Arabian and North African deserts from the face of the earth.

This ideology has been brought to our world by the radical madrasses of this movement by the oil money of the House of Saud. This is the key nexus of this mess that we have ignored for all too long because of our multiculturism, political correctness, and tolerance of other religions and cultures. The enemy is exploiting this strength of the American society. It’s time we awoke and ram this back down their throats.

It’s sad that the LAT is now reprinting Islamist propaganda.
