Obama's Wright Honors Black Hitler

Barack Obama’s longtime minister, mentor, and sounding board has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan and last month honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement.

“Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET [the Black Entertainment Network]?” Farrakhan said in a speech on Nov. 11, 2007. “Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan now is running the record industry, movie industry, and television. And they make us look like we’re the murderers; we look like we’re the gangsters, but we’re punk stuff.”

The month after that speech, Obama’s minister and friend, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. and his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, honored Farrakhan at a gala, bestowing on him its Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Lifetime Achievement Trumpeteer award.

Obama has said he found religion through Wright in the 1980s and consulted him before deciding to run for president. He prayed privately with Wright before announcing his candidacy last year.

During the 1984 presidential campaign of Jesse Jackson, Jackson referred to New York City as "Hymietown" in a discussion with a black reporter. Though Jackson thought he was speaking off the record, the reporter printed the quote. Jackson was widely criticized for the slur and received numerous death threats,[14] leading Farrakhan to announce, "If you harm this brother, it'll be the last one you ever harm. If you want to defeat him, defeat him at the polls. We can stand to lose an election, but we cannot stand to lose our brother."[15]
In response to Farrakhan's speech, Nathan Pearlmutter, then Chair of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith (ADL) referred to Minister Farrakhan as the new "Black Hitler" and prominent Jewish journalist Nat Hentoff, while a guest on a New York radio talk-show, also characterized the Muslim leader as a "Black Hitler."
In response to the charges of being a "Black Hitler", Farrakhan responded during a March 11, 1984 speech broadcast on a Chicago radio station:
"So I said to the members of the press, 'Why won't you go and look into what we are saying about the threats on Reverend Jackson's life?' Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a Black man but he was a great German and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of all of Europe and America after the First World War. Yet Hitler took Germany from the ashes and rose her up and made her the greatest fighting machine of the twentieth century, brothers and sisters, and even though Europe and America had deciphered the code that Hitler was using to speak to his chiefs of staff, they still had trouble defeating Hitler even after knowing his plans in advance. Now I'm not proud of Hitler's evil toward Jewish people, but that's a matter of record. He rose Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you could say there is a similarity in that we are rising our people up from nothing, but don't compare me with your wicked killers." [16]
Farrakhan was censured unanimously by the United States Senate for the speech.

Hagee honors real Hitler

"I'm very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement today," McCain said at a news conference. "He has been the staunchest leader of our Christian evangelical movement in many areas, but especially, most especially, his close ties and advocacy for the freedom and independence of the state of Israel."

Pastor John Hagee, in his book "Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World", writes (pages 92-92):

quote:
It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God’s chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day...
Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of anti-Semitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come...
It rises from the judgment of God upon his rebellious chosen people.”

So, according to McCain supporter Hagee, anti-semitism is the fault of the Jews because of their "disobedience and rebellion to their covenantal responsibility". Anti-semitism is God's punishment on the Jews from being "bad". If they had "done the right thing" and had never left Israel/Palestine, there wouldn't be any anti-semitism.

McCain supporter Hagee continues, in his book
"Jerusalem Countdown: A Warning to the World":

quote:
The fishermen come before the hunters. First, God sent the fishermen to Israel. These were the Zionists, men like Theodor Herzl who called for the Jews of Europe and the world to come to Palestine to establish the Jewish state. The Jews were encouraged to escape while there was still time. The situation for Jews in Europe would only get worse, not better.

A fisherman is one who draws his target toward him with bait. Herzl and his fellow Zionists were God’s fishermen, calling the sons and daughters of Abraham home. Herzl was deeply disappointed that the Jews of the world did not respond in greater numbers.

God then sent the hunters. The hunter is one who pursues his target with force and fear. No one could see the horror of the Holocaust coming, but the force and fear of Hitler’s Nazis drove the Jewish people back to the only home God ever intended for the Jews to have — Israel.

So, according to McCain supporter Hagee, God sent Hitler and the Nazis to scare the Jews back to Israel - and those Jews who refused to go to Israel deserved their deaths in the Holocaust for disobeying God and not voluntarily moving to Israel.

So, according to McCain supporter Hagee, Hitler, Himmler and those death camp guards who operated Dachau, Auschwitz, Treblina, etc, were actually doing God's work - killing off those Jews who defied God by not living in Israel.

Senator McCain - are you still "very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement"?

Sixty-eight per cent of Italians, fuelled by often inflammatory attacks by the new rightwing government, want to see all of the country's 150,000 Gypsies, many of them Italian citizens, expelled, according to an opinion poll.

The survey, published as mobs in Naples burned down Gypsy camps this week, revealed that the majority also wanted all Gypsy camps in Italy to be demolished .

Prescott Bush Nazi Myth

Unlike how Obama's Wright Honors "Black Hitler":

From Wikipedia:

Harriman Bank was the main Wall Street partner for several German companies and the varied U.S. financial interests of Fritz Thyssen. Thyssen had been an early financial backer of the Nazi party, but by 1939 was bitterly denouncing Hitler and had fled Germany. He was later jailed by the Nazis for his opposition to the Nazi regime.[5] Business transactions with Germany were not illegal until Hitler declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941, but, six days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that U.S. companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United States. On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of German banking operations in New York City. Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing property under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Bush was a director and held only one share. Fox News has reports on recently declassified material about this issue, according to a document signed by Homer Jones, chief of the division of investigation and research of the Office of Alien Property Custodian, a World War II-era agency.[6] By 1941 Thyssen no longer had control over his business empire, which was in the hands of the Nazi government.

...

Toby Rogers claimed that Bush's connections to Silesian businesses (with Thyssen and Flick) made him complicit with the slave labour mining operations in Poland out of Auschwitz. However given Thyssen fled Germany before Hitler invaded Poland and set up those mining operations it is very hard to see how this claim can be defended.

Some records in the National Archives, including the Harriman papers, document the continued relationship of Brown Brothers Harriman with the anti-Nazi German exile Thyssen and some of his German investments up until his 1951 death.[7] Two former slave laborers from Poland filed suit in London against the government of the United States in the amount of $40 billion. Judge Rosemary Collier dismissed a class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. in 2001, citing the principle of state sovereignty.[5]

Financier who laundered money for Cunningham sentenced

By Greg Moran
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

SAN DIEGO – The contrition, tears and poor health of Thomas Kontogiannis were not enough to spare him a prison sentence of eight years and one month for his role laundering bribe money for former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns also fined the wealthy Long Island financier $1,050,000 – twice the value of the bribe that Kontogiannis laundered through fraudulent mortgages that allowed Cunningham to buy a $2.4 million mansion in Rancho Santa Fe.

Cunningham is serving an eight-year, four-month sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion. Brent Wilkes, a former defense contractor from Poway, was convicted of 13 charges of bribing Cunningham and was sentenced to 12 years, though he is appealing his convictions.
Kontogiannis, 59, pleaded guilty 15 months ago to a single charge of money laundering. The deal included a cap on his prison sentence of 10 years – a move that the prosecutor on the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Forge, admitted in court Friday was a mistake.

That is because after pleading guilty, Kontogiannis continued issuing millions of dollars in fraudulent mortgages and has continued to profit by them, Forge said.

Bush, the Saudi appeaser

Pro-Israel Bush tries to assure Arab nations
chicagotribune
Mark Silva | Tribune correspondent

[...]
"I think it comes out that you don't like Muslims," Henrietta, a 16-year-old Christian Palestinian, told the president. "Because, in most of your speeches, you do tend to relate extremism to Muslims."

"Actually," Bush replied, "what I say is, 'You're not a religious person if you're a murderer.' "

Then he abruptly abandoned the explanation and headed for the confession.

"You're right," the president told the teenager. "I've got to do a better job of making it clear."

The president has faced a tall order of communication during this five-day tour of the Middle East, and much of it has centered on convincing Arabs, Palestinians and Egyptians that this unwavering ally of Israel has more than the interests of the 60-year-old Jewish state at heart as he presses for the definition of a new Palestinian state during his final year in office.
[...]
As Bush presses Israeli and Palestinian leaders to frame the contours of two independent states that might live side-by-side in peace, Arab leaders are pressing the American president to hold Israelis to promised concessions.

Nowhere was this clearer than in Bush's meetings with the Saudis.

"All of us realize the special relationship that exists between the United States and Israel and its political dimensions," said Prince Saud al-Faisal, the Saudi foreign minister. "However, it is also important to confirm legitimate historical and political rights of the Palestinian people according to international law which have been hijacked by Israeli occupational forces. …"

"We believe that the right to the existence of one nation does not eliminate the right to the existence of another nation," said Saud, near the close of a week in which Israelis had celebrated their 60th anniversary but many Palestinians had marked the day as the Nakba, or "catastrophe."
[...]

If Israel would stop the Brutal and illegal occupation

That would be the significant factor in facilitating not only Peace between Jews and Arabs, but worldwide as well.

Oh Bobby

Thats why your so wrong all the time. I see it now. You dont understand human psychology.

Hillary made a mistake and now she lives with guilt. You may have noticed her policy is to pull the troops home no matter what starting within 3 months.

Obama claims he will pull the troops back but his advisers say that depends on what is happening on the ground.

Psychologically Hillary has the stronger motivation to bring the troops home now. Its very obvious.

You however do not really care about the soldiers or the death. You are are a typical liberal that hates the military. Its all just a game for you.

If you really cared about the troops and human life you would have supported Hillary. Now they will all suffer even longer because of you.

Is John McCain Bush's Poodle?

The Hill - Brent Budowsky

....What has earned McCain the right to the mantle of Bush's poodle is this:

Bush twists, distorts and misrepresents history and is the only president in our history to make low-road attacks on a political opponent while abroad. Reagan didn't do it; Ford didn't do it; George H.W. Bush didn't do it; Roosevelt and Truman didn't do it. Jack Kennedy didn't do it and even Richard Milhous Nixon never did this in his darkest days.

Bush did it, and John McCain was reduced to joining Bush on the low road to demeaning our politics, our democracy and the presidency.

John McCain should have known better, but when George Bush initiated one of the lowest moments of a low road presidency, John McCain could only say, "Me too," which makes him a serious contender for the title of Bush's poodle.

Barack Obama stands tall and presidential leading an army of Democrats firing back, while John McCain looks like another small Bush Republican in an age when America wants nothing more than Bush Republicanism to fade into the dustbin of history.

Hmmm

Funny I read a similar piece on the fair and balanced MSNBC about 4 months ago.

Do they just xerox them and cut and paste?

And no Zeek-you are wrong again-and again-and again. Faggit is a word-and it is a derogatory version of faggot-which is of course also derogatory. You gay bashers just can't keep up can you?

Oh well-the entire campaign is actually almost all over, only three weeks left. The New York Times as usual manages to state the very obvious. I'm so sorry to hear that their circulation dropped another 3%. Perhaps they offended a few people?

Who Reads the Newspapers

1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.

2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.

3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country.

4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand the Washington Post. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie chart format.

5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country, if they could spare the time, and if they didn't have to leave LA to do it.

6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and they did a far superior job of it, thank you very much.

7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country, and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.

8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who's running the country, as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.

9. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure there is a country or that anyone is running it; but whoever it is, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs, who also happen to be illegal aliens from ANY country or galaxy as long as they are Democrats.

10. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.

11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

Faggit?

Sheesh.

At least learn how to spell your insults, fucking imbecile.

And if 2(PLUS, moron, PLUS, not equal)2=4 and so on...

...then it sounds to me like Hillary's "supporters" aren't real Democrats if they fail to stand behind whomever the nominee eventually is; therefore ensuring a McCain victory (meaning they really wanted another Republican in office anyway).

If they will only have Hillary or vote McCain or not vote at all, then she and her "supporters" accomplished what the Republicans couldn't do. Decimate the Democratic Party.

Sieg Heil Hillary!

A little late for the "Uber-Wench" make-over

Don't you think?

If she had started out this way, thngs might be different now.

What does that say about her leadership skills?

She took a "shoo-in" and ran it into the ground.

Obama took a "no-way" and kicked everybody's ass.

Faggit is a word-and it is a derogatory version of faggot

Urban Dictionary doesn't count, idiot.

Over your head

And no Zeek-you are wrong again-and again-and again. Faggit is a word-and it is a derogatory version of faggot-which is of course also derogatory. You gay bashers just can't keep up can you?

FYB, I guess you missed (or ignore) the whole point so why bother? You discredit yourself and, sadly, decent supporters of Hillary and the woman herself.

Classic tooly tactics: change the subject, deflect arguments by trying to turn the tables with falsehoods. Show some respect, what was I thinking?

Not worth the effort anymore (ever?). Your crap stinks on its own. I don't need to point out how much it smells anymore.

gigle!

If Hillary fails to damage Obama sufficiently

If Hillary fails to damage Obama sufficiently, she might have to wait 8 years for another chance to run...

If McCain beats Obama, Hillary will be proven correct in her assertion that Obama was "Unelectable" and the Nomination should have been Hillary's all along...

A great many people will benefit from a total Obama collapse in the fall...

GBC

It is a word used by gays GBC. It doesn't have to be in the dictionary. People are actually allowed to think for themselves in the USA. Did you know that?

The outcome of this election is now easy to predict. Hillary's people have had to endure an endless amount of abuse from people like GBC. I have never seen anything like it in a democratic primary. The people who support Obama are really creeps. But it is more than that. There is something ugly and repulsive about them and how they behave.

In the past couple of elections the swing votes have been women and Hispanics-both groups now because of the abuse poured on them from the likes of GBC are reluctant to vote for Obama.

That is all it will take for the RNC to win.

Hiil'ry is done

This was her shot at the WH whether Obama gets elected or not. If he doesn't, right or wrong, she will get a large portion of the blame.

It did not work out for her and that is a lot of the source of the Obama hatred in her camp. The false sense of entitlement will make that happen.

She can have an incredible Senate career like Ted Kennedy. Sadly, there might be just that need soon.

Enjoy the Gay education, GBC

As I said before, take everything the Clintons have done and scream bloody murder that it was Obama the whole time.

Candidates Say 'Stop Prop. 98! NO on 98, YES on 99!'

The PSL candidates all oppose Proposition 98, the racist ballot measure up for a vote on June 3. Prop. 98 would gradually and totally eliminate rent control in California. It is a measure brought by the rich, capitalist landlords and suits their greedy interests. On Saturday and up to the election, we'll be going door to door in all the candidates' districts to say NO to 98 and YES to 99.

Our campaign tells the truth: about the criminal war in Iraq, about the economic crisis where the rich keep getting richer as we lose our jobs and homes, about the LAPD reign of terror in Black and Latino communities throughout the city. Which other candidates demand free healthcare for all now? Which other candidates demand a $15/per hour minimum wage? Which other candidates demand full and immediate rights for all immigrants? And which other candidates fight for socialism? You know the answers.

We do not have millionaire backers like the ruling class party candidates do. The only way that we can challenge the capitalist ruling class elections and their phony democracy is when we come together to get out our fighting message of "People over profits."

Join us this weekend and next week to promote these pro-worker campaigns. We'll be doing outreach each week before June 3 as we also build support for the La Riva/ Puryear PSL presidential campaign.

Faggit, revisited

So, are you saying you are a faggot, wolf?

1. faggit
cool way of sayin faggot
better than you

shut yo mouth you faggit

2. faggit

The wrong spelling of the word "faggot," mostly spelled wrong by young [bedwetters] who spell it how they pronounce the word, with an "i"

3. faggit

The stupid way of saying faggot, usually typoed because "i" is next to "o".

Usually said in a quick attempt (which is why they typo it) to try to save themselves when someone can't think of a good comeback.

~-~-~

My guess it's number three and you desperately tried to save yourself.

I've only "attacked" Hillary because of one thing: she jumped on the RNC tactics to deliberately hurt someone in her own party. She admitted to doing so. See the ABC non-debate. "Well, the Republican's started that."

It's what she said. Look it up in the transcript.

After that, Hillary deserves all she's been dealt by me. And I'm really nobody. Just a guy hangin' on Sam's blog from time to time.

Teenagers who smoke marijuana put themselves at risk for future mental illness and higher rates of depression, according to a report to be released today by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

Although fewer teens overall are smoking marijuana, the report said, there is growing concern that those who do, particularly those who view the drug as a way to cope with depression, do not understand its consequences. It also is not clear whether their parents, who might have indulged when they were younger, understand the risks, experts say.

The report, whose release coincides with the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, said studies show links between marijuana use and risk of mental illness later in life, and that use could increase the risk by as much as 40 percent.

Teenage girls who smoke marijuana are particularly at risk, the report said. It found that teen girls who smoke marijuana daily are more likely to develop depression than those who do not.

The report also found that teenagers who smoke marijuana at least once a month are three times more likely to have suicidal thoughts than non-users. It said that even though the percentage of teens who are depressed is equal to the percentage of adults who say they are depressed, teenagers are more likely to seek solace in marijuana or other illicit drugs.

"Significant numbers of teenagers are self-medicating,'' said John P. Walters, director of the White House office. "They're turning to marijuana to reduce [symptoms of depression], and [the depression] is getting worse."

The report said that too often teens do not seek treatment for their depression, choosing instead to seek relief by smoking marijuana. They do not realize that pot can make their problems worse and can set them up for serious health consequences, it said.

Susan Lydick, coordinator of the Youth Suicide and Depression Initiative at the Fairfax Partnership for Youth, said the report offers new information to parents and the general public -- groups that are often unaware of the interplay between drug use and depression.

Walters said advances in technology allow researchers to better understand the effect drugs such as marijuana have on brain function. The research being done today "is breaking new ground in showing the role marijuana use is playing in depression," he said.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we still have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we still have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don’t control monetary policy, the foreign controlled Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

It contains ricotta cheese, lemon, and sugar, all in a tart. There's little more needed in a dessert in my opinion.

Crust

* 1 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
* 1/4 sugar
* 1 tsp vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla)
* Salt, pinch
* 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
* 1 egg yolk
* 6 oz. Limoncello (water will work if Limoncello cannot be found)

For the filling

* 4 Large lemons
* 2 eggs
* 1 1/4 sugar
* 16 oz Ricotta Cheese
* 2 Tbsp powdered Sugar

Starting with the dough ingredients, mix together the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt together. Add the butter and egg yolk, and work together by hand. Add an ounce of the limoncello and incorporate that into the dough. Repeat until you get the consistency to the point where you can shape the dough into a ball.

Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper until it is slightly larger than your tart pan (I used my 9 inch tart pan, but it could have accommodated the ten inch). Line the pan with the dough and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one half of an hour.

Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Zest two lemons and set the zest aside. Get the juice from one of the two zested lemons. Also set aside.

In a glass bowl, cream together the 2 eggs with 3/4 cup of the sugar. Fold in the ricotta cheese, and mix well. Fold in the zest and lemon juice.

Pour the filling into the chilled tart shell. Place in the oven and bake for forty five minutes. Remove and allow to cool.

Slice the remaining two lemons into thin slices, and quarter those slices.

Meanwhile, in a skillet place the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with 10 tablespoons of water. Mix and bring to a boil. Add the lemon slices and lower the heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Place the sugared lemon slices on the tart before serving. Dust with powdered sugar.

McCain Endorser Hagee: God Sent Hitler, Jews Have Dead Souls

Recording of McCain's Political Endorser John Hagee Preaching Jews Are Cursed and Subhuman

By Bruce Wilson

Yesterday I discovered an astonishing audio recording of a sermon, by controversial McCain endorser Pastor John Hagee, in which Hagee elaborates on his view that Hitler and the Nazis were divine agents sent by God to (with gruesome inefficiency it would seem) chase Europe's Jews towards Palestine.

In his 2006 book "Jerusalem Countdown", Hagee proposed that anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves - the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive. In the sermon Hagee also clarifies a point, on his theological views, that has long concerned me.

Obama Says Bush and McCain Are ‘Fear Mongering’ in Attacks
----------
Surely not. Surely Bush and McCain and Bush/McCain wannabees like War Dog wouldn't stoop to peddling fear?

Just kidding. They have worked very hard to sell the Muslim replacement for the Commie boogieman.

Do they care if the side-effects of their efforts include a trashed economy and suffering from one end of the globe to the other? Nawww. You see, they are keeping us safe. That's why people must be made miserable...to be safe.

89% of Americans believe Iraq is responsible for our economic distress [CBS 4/8]
----
Let us review: A former CEO of Halliburton became Vice-President of the United States and oil prices have risen to all-time record levels. Halliburton's subsidiaries rake in record profits from government military no-bid contracts.

A former oil man (though a failed one) became President of the United States and Exxon is posting the world's greatest quarter-over-quarter profits in history.

Not one justification made by the President or the Vice-President for the war in Iraq has proved accurate.

The U.S. economy has been on a decline throughout the tenure of the present administration.

Is it any wonder that 89% of Americans believe that the most widely recognized Bush administration blunder, the war in Iraq, is responsible for their economic distress?

Think of the Iraq war as symbolic of dozens of administration failures that, when combined, explain why George W. Bush is the worst president ever.

I am amazed, too. But I learned my lesson when I first saw Mike Tyson fight: I said, "No one will ever be able to beat that beast. He will die a champion."

My amazement was not sustained as expected. I'm a lot more cautious after being burned.

Kennedy updates...

Sen. Kennedy rushed to the hospital.
Earlier this morning, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was rushed to the hospital in Cape Cod, Massachusetts with the “symptoms of a stroke.” Kennedy, who is 76, was transfered to Mass General Hospital in Boston after being treated in the emergency room.

UpdateVia BabinMD at DailyKos, CNN's Ed Henry is reporting that "a Kennedy source says that the Senator himself at about 10:30 a.m. called someone to say he couldn't host a luncheon. That would have been more than two hours after the original 911 call."
UpdateThe AP reports that Kennedy had a seizure, not a stroke as was originally reported. His spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, says he is "resting comfortably."

The diagnosis "seizure" is even more vague than the diagnosis "stroke". I wonder if the physicians haven't yet figured out what happened or why?

Kennedy hospitalized after

Kennedy hospitalized after seizure; not a stroke
By GLEN JOHNSON | Associated Press Writer

In October, Kennedy had surgery to repair a nearly complete blockage in a major neck artery. The discovery was made during a routine examination of a decades-old back injury.

The hourlong procedure on his left carotid artery -- a main supplier of blood to the face and brain -- was performed at Massachusetts General. This type of operation is performed on more than 180,000 people a year to prevent a stroke.

The doctor who operated on Kennedy said at the time that surgery is reserved for those with more than 70 percent blockage, and Kennedy had "a very high-grade blockage."

Distinguishing between a seizure and a transient ischemic attack, TIA, often called a mini-stroke, can sometimes be difficult.

Seizures are little electrical storms in the brain. They tend to be brief; an occasional one can happen to anyone even without a prior history of seizures, especially if there has been some prior brain trauma.

A stroke is either ischemic -- a clog in a blood vessel -- or hemorrhagic, bleeding in the brain. Hemorrhagic ones are very rare. Kennedy had the carotid artery surgery to try to prevent the ischemic type. A stroke kills brain tissue; how much depends on how big it is and how long it lasts. Some people show no lasting effects; others can be partly paralyzed on one side or somewhere in-between.

"Sen. Kennedy was at high risk because he had surgery for an artery in his neck," said Dr. Wendy Wright, The Emory Clinic, Assistant Professor, Departments of Neurology and Nuerosurgery,

But she said there are a lot of things that can cause seizures, such as an infection or medication.

"Certain medications are known to cause seizures. A stroke can cause a seizure, a brain tumor or a head injury, or something in the brain itself," Wright said. "Common symptoms that we know about are falling on the ground, shaking and having confusion."
