Tuesday links mania

Busy day today, but I want to leave you with a variety of interesting links.

First, US national politics:

• Did you know that criticizing the policies that lead to the mortgage and credit crises is racist? Democrat Barney Frank (one of the schmucks who created this fiasco) says so.
• Barack Obama has said he shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of former terrorist William Ayers because he was only eight when Ayers made war on the US. With that limited statement, I agree. However, take a moment to read the account of a guy who was nine when Ayers' Weathermen tried to kill his family.
• Jennifer Rubin argues that the Prophet Barack isn't a hypocrite at all, but instead a complete fraud.
• John McCain finally went nuclear Barack Obama today, calling him out on the financial crisis and all but naming him a liar, a punk, and a phony. While those words weren't used, the message was clear. Here's video of a portion of his speech:

 

• Sister Toldjah has the complete transcript.
• Finally, the Republican Party has released an extensive dossier on the Ayers-Obama relationship. Sure, it's party propaganda. But even propaganda can convey the truth.

Indeed, there is a world outside the US:

• At Jihad Watch, Raymond Ibrahim examines the question of "who is innocent in Islam?"
• And, speaking of the wacky world of life under sharia, David Hazony reports on a recent religious ruling in Saudi Arabia that women may only leave the home if they are cyclops.
• With oil prices dropping, Iran is worried. Hey, maybe there is some good to this financial crisis!
• An Iraqi officer has a message for Senator Obama.
• Those murderous psychos brave knights of Islam, the Taliban, have reopened a training camp for child suicide bombers.
• But do they want to cut a deal?
• Pat Condell takes another whack at the creeping spread of sharia in Britain and clarifies his opinions regarding Saudi Arabia:

 

Finally, shooting fish in a barrel:

I haven't picked on the Cult of Al Gore anthropogenic global warming in a while, and I've missed doing so. It makes me feel so good. No time to go into detail, but these two links from the excellent Tigerhawk blog should give you something to chew on:

• First, what are the implications of the exceptionally low number of sunspots our star is producing these days?
• Next, a new theory of what's really causing the periodic polar ice melt.

That should be enough to keep you busy until tonight.
