This is an example of how the Left enforces its views. Specter who flipped to Democrat is attending an anti-Islamist conference. Think Progress which in the past has supported Islamo-Fascist movements now attacks him for going there. They do this to mobilized the Progressive Fascists via blogs to intimidate Specter. Let us see if they succeed.
Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter to speak at ‘anti-Islamist’ conference.
The Washington Independent’s Dave Weigel notes that on May 19, a coalition of conservative legal groups will be hosting a conference titled, “Libel Lawfare: Silencing Criticism of Radical Islam.” Here’s a description of the event:
Islamists have launched a two-pronged effort to suppress free discourse on such subjects as Islam, radical Islam, terrorism, and terrorist funding:
* By filing predatory lawsuits.
* By passing “hate speech” and defamation laws.
Victims of these “lawfare” attacks have included the famous and the obscure, politicians, journalists, analysts and plain citizens. This inhibition has great consequences, for when discussion of Islam and terrorism are limited, radical Islam is empowered and Western civilization is imperiled.
Issues to be discussed on May 19 include: A close analysis of Islamist methods; the possible need for legislation to protect free speech on these topics; a comparison of the situation in Europe and the United States; and ways to prevent the United Nations from curtailing discussion of Islam.
Speakers include Frank Gaffney, Daniel Pipes, and…Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), who will be giving the opening speech.
Let us if Think Progress forces Specter to not attend. Now that he is a Democrat, he will see how hardline they are.

The call by Leftists organs like Think Progress for trails of Bush officials behind the interrogation of Jihadists is being done by one person. Georg Soros who is one of the leaders and founders of the Leftists-Islamic alliance is pushing for this. He is doing this to help his Islamists allies.
Soros Show Trials
The so-called Commission on Accountability which mysteriously appeared on the political scene a few days ago to push for show trials related to War on Terror interrogation policies is a PR hoax created by liberal philanthropist George Soros and political operatives sympathetic to the Obama administration.
The push is part of a vindictive campaign to pay back the architects of the War on Terror for making a good faith effort to defend America
The name of the group: Commission on Accountability is a very Stalinist sounding group. I blame Bush for the rise of the Left. He should of used all his powers to expose and destroy these groups. These organizations are agents of foreign, particularly Islamist interests. Now Soros and gang are dictating America’s policy with their puppet Obama as the mouth piece. It’s a shame what is happening, America needs more than tea parties. These groups need to be confronted publicly and exposed.

Think Progress again displays it’s alliance with Islamists. They now attack Sen. Inhofe for filibustering against a judicial nominee that supports Allah in prayers but not Jesus.
Inhofe Will Filibuster Judicial Nominee For Ruling Against Sectarian Prayers In Indiana Legislature
Inhofe does not appear to have explained his decision to filibuster in front of his colleagues on the floor of the Senate. But in statements that he entered into the Congressional Record, Inhofe cited a 2005 ruling in Hinrichs v. Bosman in which Hamilton found that the Indiana House of Representatives may open proceedings with “non-sectarian prayers” only. Inhofe called it “insane” that the ruling would allow payers to invoke the name of “Allah” but not “Jesus”:
INHOFE: Further, ruling on a postjudgment motion, Hamilton stated that invoking the name of “Allah” would not advance a particular religion or disparage another. So, praying to Allah would be perfectly acceptable. [...]
I find this line of reasoning to be insane. Who in this body would not identify the name of “Allah” with the religion of Islam any less than they would identify the name of Jesus with Christianity?
Think Progress then uses Islamic propaganda that Allah just refers to God in general.
Hamilton found that “sectarian content of the substantial majority of official prayers took the prayers outside the safe harbor the Supreme Court recognized for inclusive, non-sectarian legislative prayers in Marsh v. Chambers.” As Hamilton explained in a post-judgment ruling, “‘Allah’ is used for ‘God’ in Arabic” and as such should be permitted:
Nice try Think progress but one problem. Allah means The god, not God. Also Allah isn’t the same God of the Jews and Christians. It is the Arabian Moon God worshiped by Islam. So Allah is a sectarian name as Muslims even when praying in English say Allah, not God. It is a formal name of an entity.
Think progress is Administered by Faiz Shakir who is a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizballah, Al-Qaeda in Iraq and Iran. Of course Think Progress supports Islamo-Fascism, it is one of the voice pieces of the Leftist-Islamic Alliance.

The Leftists and Islamists propaganda mouth piece Think Progress condemns Israel. They attack Israel because Israeli President Shimon Peres said that if Obama’s talks with Iran don’t work, they might hit Iran.
Israeli president hints that Israel will attack Iran if Obama’s overtures fail.
ast month, Israeli President Shimon Peres contradicted President Obama’s groundbreaking message to Iran by urging the Iranians to overthrow their government. Meanwhile, Obama emphasized his willingness to work with the current Iranian leaders and underscored his view that regime change is not a goal. Now, Peres is ratcheting up more bellicose rhetoric. During a radio interview yesterday, he said that Israel is poised to attack Iran if Obama’s “overtures to the Islamic republic fail to bear fruit”:
Those evil Israelis are at it again! Iran can threaten Israel all it wants, but if Israel even threatens back, Think Progress gets mad and bashes them. This is yet another example of the Leftist-Islamic alliance and Think progress being it’s voice. Why doesn’t Think progress ever condemn the Iranian regime? Their silence on that shows their support.The Leftists-Islamic Axis is the most powerful alliance right now in world politics.

It is now apparent that the Center for American Progress is not like by some Leftists. The reason is that before Obama was President,CAP and it’s mouth piece Think Progress was always bashing Bush as a warmonger. Now that has changed. They are now supporting the Iraq war and Afghan surge.
Here are the 2 Articles exposing them:
Rahm Emanuel’s Think Tankers Enforce ‘Message Discipline’ Among ‘Liberals’
What is clear here is that CAP and MoveOn are now basically psuedo-official PR flaks targeting “liberals” to support the White House agenda. This, though, should not come as a shock to those who have closely monitored these groups. They were the primary force behind Americans Against Escalation in Iraqmillions of dollars using Iraq as a political bludgeon against Republican politicians, (AAEI), “a coalition that spent tens of while refusing to pressure the Democratic Congress to actually cut off funding for the war.” Now, according to John Stauber, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, the Center for American Progress is now running “Progressive Media which was begun by Tom Matzzie and David Brock in 2008 and now ‘represents a serious ratcheting up of efforts to present a united liberal front in the coming policy wars….’ [These groups] are working hard to push Obama’s policies, including rationalizlng or defending his escalation of the wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan as “sustainable security.”
CAP was anti war, now it is pro war! What a turn around.
Progressive Think Tank Tells Obama to Escalate
The Center for American Progress has positioned itself as a “progressive” Washington think tank, especially suited to channel new thinking and expertise into the Obama administration. It therefore is deeply disappointing that CAP has issued a call for a ten-year war in Afghanistan, including an immediate military escalation, just as President Obama prepares to unveil his Afghanistan/Pakistan policies to the American public and NATO this week.
The Canter for American progress and its mouthpiece Think Progress is Totalitarian in nature. They smear their opponents and attempt to silence. Now they are a mouthpiece for the Obama Administration. Think Pravda would be better suited for their name. When even Leftists label them as fake, that tells you something. CAP is Fascist and is all about power. They stand for nothing.

Think Progress is now accusing the Tea Parties of being Organized by Corporate Lobbyist. Think progress itself which is part of the Center for American progress is itself Lobbysit funded. Let’s laugh at the outrage of Think progress.
Spontaneous Uprising? Corporate Lobbyists Helping To Orchestrate Radical Anti-Obama Tea Party Protests
Despite these attempts to make the “movement” appear organic, the principle organizers of the local events are actually the lobbyist-run think tanks Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works. The two groups are heavily staffed and well funded, and are providing all the logistical and public relations work necessary for planning coast-to-coast protests:
– Freedom Works staffers coordinate conference calls among protesters, contacting conservative activists to give them “sign ideas, sample press releases, and a map of events around the country.”
– Freedom Works staffers apparently moved to “take over” the planning of local events in Florida.
– Freedom Works provides how-to guides for delivering a “clear message” to the public and media.
– Freedom Works has several domain addresses — some of them made to look like they were set up by amateurs — to promote the protests.
– Americans for Prosperity is writing press releases and planning the events in New Jersey, Arizona, New Hampshire, Missouri, Kansas, and several other states.
Ha ha ha ha, This is the Pot calling the Kettle Black. Here’s the truth about Think progress.
Think Progress exposed
More than 2.5 million people read pages of Think Progress every month. Quite a staggering number, and something free-market minded Americans should pay close attention to.
While some in mainstream communication realms might not see this as a significant story, many more of us are starting to uncover the dark agenda that drives the left wing propaganda machine at Think Progress.
What are the Origins of Think Progress?
Here is what we know…
1) Think Progress is a Project of The Center for American Progress Action Fund
The Center for American Progress Action Fund is a “progressive” think-tank. Their “partner” is The Center for American Progress, a non-profit organization under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue code.
The Center for American Progress is ran by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. That’s right… Think Progress is essentially a tool of the Clinton machine.
In fact, George Soros and Halperin recruited Harold Ickes — chief fundraiser and former deputy chief of staff for the Clinton White House — to help organize the Center.
With this in mind, it’s interesting to notice the Center’s use of Think Progress to attack John McCain, when they won’t lift a finger to send negative attention to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
So much for “non-partisan”.
2) The Bloggers are Far Left Operatives
Faiz Shakir, the editor at Think Progress, is also the Research Director at the Center for American Progress. Faiz has previously worked as a Research Associate for the Democratic National Committee, as a Legislative Aide to Sen. Bob Graham (D-FL) on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, and as a communications aide in the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
Amanda Terkel is Deputy Research Director at the Center for American Progress and serves as Managing Editor for The Progress Report and Think Progress at the Center for American Progress. Terkel also worked in the Office of Liberal Democrat Senator Charles E. Schumer.
Also working as editors/writers/bloggers for Think Progress are Satyam Khanna, Matt Corley, Benjamin J. Armbruster, Ali Frick, Matthew Duss, Brad Johnson, Sarah Dale and Igor Volsky.
Not surprisingly, every one of the above individuals are on the payroll of either the Center for American Progress or the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
3) New Sub-Blogs ATTACKERMAN and WONK ROOM
Wonk Room is pretty much ran by the same ilk that edit the main Think Progress site. But Attackerman has a different background when it comes to blogger-in-chief. As Konservo points out, Spencer Ackerman runs Attackerman, supposedly covering National Security Issues. As Konservo mentions, Ackerman works for The Washington Independent, who, ironically is owned by the Center for Independent Media.
The Center for Independent Media is ran by a group of wealthy tech liberals and Democrat party operatives/campaign consultants. These folks aren’t messing around either. As mentioned above, the groups involved in this progressive/liberal ring of propaganda sites are also tied to Media Matters, the Soros funded liberal attack machine.
Just how active and aggressive are these groups in using the internet to spread their agenda? According to Shot in The Dark, the Center for Independent Media has been working to hire liberal/progressive bloggers in the state of Minnesota. An e-mail sent out via the Center for Independent Media makes it clear that the Soros machine is hiring a left wing army aimed at bringing free-market/limited-government advocates to their knees.
Read the full e-mail here.
Have no doubts, Think progress is not independent, not non-partisan, and not in any way a center of the political isle source of information. Instead, the site is a vessel through which the Soros money machine can funnel its left wing agenda.
Yeah Think progress is organic. It’s nothing but a Soros funded Mouth piece for the Leftist-Islamic Alliance. They left themselves wide open for this. What idiots! Most of the Progressive Movement are funded by Corporations run by Rich Globalists-Leftists. If anything, the Left is artificial.

The Leftists-Islamist website Think Progress is now attacking the Tea Parties being organized around the country as radical. When Leftists and Islamists gather together though it’s just protests.
Republican Members Of Congress Embrace Radical Anti-Obama Tea Party Protests
Next week on Tax Day (April 15), right wing activists will converge in cities across the country to protest President Obama. The primary figures organizing the protests, the lobbyist-runMichelle Malkin, say they are reacting to taxes that are “too high.” However, previous tea party protests have attracted protesters who called for impeaching Obama while slurring the President’s name as “Obama Bin Lyin.”
Think Progress supported calling Bush a Fascist and helped promote Leftists-Islamist rallies. This is another example of Leftist-Islamists Totalitarianism. They smear and name call their enemies in order to silence their opponents. Well too bad you can’t silence anyone in America. Deal with it Faiz and Gang!

As James Kirchick notes in Commentary’s Contentions:
Yglesias writes about the Foreign Policy Initiative, a new think tank/advocacy group founded by Bill Kristol and Robert Kagan. He opines:
When I was a kid, I remember hearing that cockroaches would not only survive the sure-to-happen US-Soviet nuclear holocaust, but actually emerge stronger than ever as they devour our irradiated corpses. Similarly, there’s a new think tank in town, headed by Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan, and former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesguy Dan Senor.
The use of the word “cockroach” to describe undesirable persons has a long history, but there’s a specific and ugly context that is most pertinent. In the run-up to the Rwandan genocide of 1994 — in which nearly 1 million people were massacred over the course of just 100 days — “Hutu power” radio stations used the word repeatedly to describe members of the minority Tutsi tribe.
This is exactly right. The Hutu power spokesmen used the radio to spread propaganda and indoctrinate Rwandans with hatred toward Tutsis. Additionally, Hutus who did not follow the extremists were labeled traitors, meeting the same fate as the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of other innocent Rwandans who were killed in the mid-1990s.
Kirchick rightly comments:
As an expert on nearly everything, surely Yglesias is aware of the word’s loaded history.
If this is so, then what would Yglesias have us believe?
It’s obvious. He knows what worked for the Hutus and he’s adopted their method. His targets are clearly “neo-cons.”

Bill O’Reilly has hit Think Progress hard. He exposes the fact that they smear and try to silence those who disagree with the Left or Islamo-Fascism. They are bullies and aren’t used to getting hit hard.
O’Reilly Lashes Back At ThinkProgress: ‘They’re Insects’
Tonight on The Factor, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly offered a host of attacks on ThinkProgress and Center for American Progress President and CEO John Podesta that were rich with irony.
Ignoring the role of Fox News in smearingprogressives, O’Reilly said Podesta is “driving the hate industry. … Podesta’s website is devoted to hurting any prominent person who disagrees with liberal politics.” He also falsely attacked Amanda Terkel, again, for “harming a rape victim and her family.” O’Reilly told his audience:
Why should you care about any of this? Well, because it’s your country. A well-coordinated, well-financed cabal attacking dissent is a pretty big story.
Bill O’Reilly is the 1st person of major stature to take on Think progress. He has hit them hard and is exposing them. They are not used to getting hit. They are now crying and complaining. Hey Faiz, afraid your cowardly propaganda site is be shown for what it is? Think Progress hates Western Civilization and supports the Leftist-Islamic alliance. I hope more Media people go after Think Progress. It is an Anti-American website.
