The open question
Scott Johnson

In a column for today's New York Post, Debra Burlingame takes a look at the partisan breakdown in the congressional voting on the bill to protect John Doe defendants in cases such as that of the flying imams. Among those Democrats voting "no" on the bill was of course our own Keith Ellison, former local Nation of Islam leader and friend of Minneapolis gangbangers such as Vice Lords leader Sharif Willis. ...

John Doe vs. the moonbats (language warning)
Michelle Malkin

The left-wing blogosphere is up in arms over the John Doe movement and manifesto.

It's telling, isn't it, that HuffPo and company are outraged not at CAIR and the litigious imams--but at me:

[...]

Love how they show their racist stripes flinging racism charges at others. And how they hide behind their hypotheticals while ignoring realities like this and this and this.

More typical reax from the 9/10 Left:

John Doe backlash: Leftists attack MM
Bryan Preston

It’s as predictable as the sunrise: Michelle takes a serious and commonsense stand in a catchy way that generates some buzz, and unserious leftist children smear and attack her for it. I would chalk it up to mere jealousy — when was the last time Wonkette was relevant on any issue or story at all? — but when Michelle’s concerned there’s always more to the story. The dirty little secret of liberal racism lurks about a nanometer below the surface here. As does general liberal fecklessness on national security.

I have a simple question for the deep thinkers and cancer-cheerleaders at HuffPo and Wonkette:

Do you agree that US citizens should be protected from lawsuits if they report something that strikes them as suspicious?

Yes or no will do. That question is at the heart of the John Doe Manifesto. It’s at the heart of the flying/suing imams story. It’s also at the heart of the war itself. We’ve all seen those signs on the highways: REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY. Should we take them all down and sue people who follow the instruction?

What say you, liberals? Whose side are you on? Are you on the side of the ordinary Americans who reported the odd and deliberate activities of the imams on that airplane, or are you on the side of those imams and their lawyers suing average people for speaking up? CAIR or the pilot? Choose one. ...
