...free to travel throughout Israel and practice their religion in peace until radicals began attacking Israeli civilians. Hamad's need to blame someone for the horrid situation is understandable. But he chose his target poorly. He should look within his own community before blaming his neighbors who deign to defend their very lives from radical Islamists. Michael Yanovich, LOS ANGELES...

That much was clear over the weekend, when BET founder Bob Johnson, in trying to defend the Clintons, appeared to all the world to be bringing up Obama's admitted history of drug use (Johnson later claimed he was actually referring to Obama's history as a community organizer, a laughable explanation that only dug the hole deeper...
