S.C. bill would loosen gun rules even more

The State [SC], by Gina Smith Posted By: Zalmon- Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:08:33 GMT Legislation weaving its way through the House of Representatives would increase the number of places that legal gun owners can carry their guns to include restaurants, day'care centers and churches. “It puts criminals on the defense,” said state Rep. Thad Viers, R'Horry, a co'sponsor of the bill and the owner of about 25 firearms and a concealed weapons permit. “Criminals don’t know if you’re carrying or not.”

Schultz: 'Are You With The Terrorists, Or Are You With The President Of The United States?'

What's next: MSNBC hawking "America: Love It Or Leave It" bumper stickers?

The new fashion among the liberal network's anchors is to accuse critics of President Obama's Libya policy of being unpatriotic.  Last week, we documented how Cenk Uygur did it.  Now, it's Ed Schultz's turn.  The man recently relegated to the 10 PM slot went on an extended rant last night, repeatedly accusing Republican critics of the Libyan operation of being unpatriotic. Schultz set the tone with his opening graphic.  As you see in the screengrab, Schultz branded Sarah Palin and John Bolton as "patriots, not" for questioning the president's conduct of the attack on Libya. 

But Schultz was far--far--from finished.   He eventually asked the question: "whose side are you on?  Are you with the terrorists, Sarah, or are you with the President of the United States?"

ED SCHULTZ: Republicans are attacking the Commander-in-Chief during a time of war! . . . There should be no debate: we should be kicking [Gaddafi's] ass . . . Whose side are you on, Sarah: are you with the terrorists, Sarah, or are you with the President of the United States? . . . And I have to ask the question tonight: where is the patriotism from all of these war-hawks? Where's the patriotism of the Republican party? . . . What about being a patriot? . . . So the question now for the doubters who are out and about: why don't you support the president? . . . We've been talking about the lack of patriotism from prominent Republicans . . .  Laura [Flanders] what about the patriotism?

Note: you wanted to hear Hillary's classic rant, didn't you, "I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic."  Of course you did! H/t reader Annie.

Proofers and Birthers Get a Boost from Trump

Canada Free Press, by Jim O'Neill Posted By: ajmcq- Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:47:02 GMT Proofers want PROOF that Obama is who he says he is. While birthers focus mainly on Obama’s birth certificate, or rather lack thereof, proofers are more concerned with the overall cover'up—the astonishing paucity of verifiable information about Obama’s life. Due to the lack of documented history, we are supposed to content ourselves with his self'serving “autobiography” “Dreams from My Father.” (Leaving aside the question of who actually wrote Obama’s book, who writes their autobiography before they have done anything worth writing about? Okay, there’s Hitler’s “Mein Kampf,” but I mean other than Hitler). Staff split headline

Debt'laden Portugal's borrowing rates hit new high

Associated Press, by Barry Hatton and Pan Pylas Posted By: Dreadnought- Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:45:54 GMT LONDON — Debt'heavy Portugal's hopes of avoiding a financial bailout were fading fast Wednesday as the country's borrowing rates continued their upward spiral to hit new euro'era highs. The yield on the ten'year government bonds rose another 0.03 percentage point to 8.02 percent, the highest level since the country joined in the founding of the 17'nation euro currency in 1999. Portugal accounts for less than 2 percent of the bloc's gross domestic product, but its troubles could weaken market confidence in the eurozone's efforts to beat a sovereign debt crisis

Texas budget crisis threatens anti'smoking program

Houston Chronicle, by Gary Scharrer Posted By: Dreadnought- Wed, 30 Mar 2011 12:43:39 GMT AUSTIN — Lawmakers are prepared to suspend the state's smoking prevention program because of budget problems, despite estimates that smoking'related diseases cost Texas at least $1.6 billion a year in Medicaid payments alone. The House appropriations bill, scheduled for debate this weekend, would wipe out the $10 million'a'year anti'smoking campaign, a legacy of the state's 1998 settlement with big tobacco companies. To save the anti'smoking effort, Rep. Carol Alvarado, D'Houston, is pushing a bill to increase the state cigarette excise tax by $1.05 per pack. "It doesn't take a whiz
