GOP Recognizes Paul’s Following With Leadership Post

The New York Times reports during his “20 years in Congress,” Rep. Ron Paul has staked out the lonely end of 434-to-1 votes against legislation that he considers unconstitutional, even on issues as ceremonial as granting Mother Teresa a Congressional Gold Medal.” Now “it appears others are beginning to credit him with some wisdom — or at least acknowledging his passionate following. After years of blocking him from a leadership position, Mr. Paul's fellow Republicans have named him chairman of the House subcommittee on domestic monetary policy, which oversees the Federal Reserve as well as the currency and the valuation of the dollar.” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/us/politics/13paul.html?_r=1&ref=us added by: Radical_Centrist

AP, ABCNews.com Omit Convicted Killer’s Illegal Immigration Status, MS-13 Gang Membership

“Salvadoran Immigrant Ingmar Guandique Found Guilty of Murdering D.C. Intern Chandra Levy [12:45 p.m. ET]” That was the breaking news headline that was blasted to my inbox from ABCNews.com regarding today's murder conviction of the suspect in the 2001 murder of the former congressional intern for then-Rep. Gary Condit (D). In the Associated Press story by Matthew Barakat at the ABCNews.com website, there is no mention of the fact that Guandique is an illegal immigrant nor of the fact that he is involved in the ruthless gang Mara Salvatrucha , more commonly known as MS-13. This despite the fact that numerous news reports during Guandique's trial noted that he often wore turtleneck shirts in the courtroom to hide his gang tattoo. You can clearly see that gang tattoo in an April 2009 file photo ABCNews.com included in their breaking news story. See screencap below page break: read more
