Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Anti-Israeli Protests

Fox News

Anti-Israel protesters waved Hezbollah flags and pictures of Sheik Hassan Nasrallah at protests against the "Israeli-U.S." war in Lebanon over the weekend, while a few held signs equating Jews with Nazis.

One said: "Nazi Kikes out of Lebanon," while others urged protesters "to defend Hezbollah resistance against U.S.-Israel attack and occupation."

The rallies were sponsored by A.N.S.W.E.R. — a left-wing coalition of radical groups whose previous protests have included Cindy Sheehan, among others.

In Washington, former Attorney General and current Saddam Hussein attorney Ramsey Clark drew cheers when he called for President Bush to be impeached, while in San Francisco, police used batons to break up a clash between protesters after a woman attempted to burn an Israeli flag.
