OBAMA WAS SNOOKERED BY WALL STREET PATSIES

WHERE WAS THE BLUE-COLLAR COMMUNITY ORGANIZER WHEN TIMOTHY GEITHNER TOLD HIM TO TRUST THE BANKS?

by Robert Scheer

for HUSTLER Magazines – May 2010

What's up with Barack Obama? I thought this guy had some tough, everyday smarts and, having witnessed life a bit on the mean streets of Chicago, would stand up to the Wall Street big shots who've made life so miserable for the little people back in the blue collar communities he once tried to organize. Instead, he got bamboozled by the banking...

MANUFACTURING "POLITICALLY CORRECT" PROFESSORS

THE FEAR OF OFFENDING CERTAIN GROUPS HAS GIVEN THE THOUGHT POLICE LICENSE TO SUBVERT HIGHER EDUCATION.

by Nat Hentoff


from HUSTLER Magazine – May 2010

Long ago, when I was a student at Northeastern University in Boston, a sociology professor—a white guy from South Africa—glared at us as he handed back our essay exams he had just graded. "You're just giving me back," he charged, "only what I said in my lectures! When are you going to start thinking for yourselves?"

Never having heard that...

FOOTBALL FANS' FURY

STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE GIVE DEPARTING HEAD COACH LANE KIFFIN A RIOTOUS SEND-OFF

by Bradley Merritt

for HUSTLER Magazine – May 2010

Lane Kiffin's surprise resignation showed those outside Knoxville just how serious the Big Orange Nation takes its football. As soon as ESPN spread the news he would be succeeding Pete Carroll at the University of Southern California, around 1,000 enraged UT students quickly took to the streets.

Some torched Kiffin's promotional "It's Time"...

WHO RULES AMERICA?

from HUSTLER Magazine – May 2010

Over the past year it has become more than apparent that our government is being held hostage by a small group of incredibly powerful people: Wall Street, multinational corporations and the military-industrial complex. How else can you explain President Obama's complete betrayal of his campaign pledges? He's sold out real healthcare reform, escalated America's wars, maintained Bush-era surveillance and torture—and that's just for starters.

Obama has discovered ...

BREAKING NEWS: THERE IS NO NEWS

WHY IS IT THAT EVERY TIME I TURN ON CNN, FOX NEWS OR MSNBC, THEY'RE ALWAYS CLAIMING TO BE ON TO SOMETHING BIG?

by Alex Bennett

for HUSTLER Magazine – May 2010

While I'm doing my radio show on Sirius XM, we usually have a TV tuned to CNN. More often than not, when I look over at it, there's a graphic announcing "Breaking News." But the story it heralds is usually very inane. That's one of many things wrong with TV news. Because of their need to fill the airwaves 24/7, producers take a small...

DICK ARMEY

Asshole of the Month from HUSTLER MAGAZINE May 2010

What can you say about Dick Armey? Here's a piece-ofshit Republican who probably flushed his soul down a toilet bowl when he was still a kid in North Dakota. Did he do it for money? Or was he always the kind of cynical son of a bitch who didn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself?

Money, it seems, has always been a prime motivator for Armey. After earning a Ph.D in economics from the University of Oklahoma, he took a professorship at...

THE DRUGWAR FIASCO

WITH THE HIGHEST INCARCERATION RATE IN THE WORLD, AMERICA HAS STILL MANAGED TO LOSE THE WAR ON DRUGS, DESTROY MILLIONS OF INNOCENT LIVES, RIP FAMILIES APART, WASTE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND BUILD A RACIST CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM SECOND TO NONE.

by Debbie Epstein

for HUSTLER Magazine – May 2010

In April 1993, 23-year-old Clinton Matthew was staying at a friend's house in Norfolk, Virginia, with his girlfriend when the police burst in. A small amount of drugs, belonging to others, was discovered...

ALL OF US EQUAL UNDER THE LAW? NO MORE!

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S NEW ANSWER TO HATE CRIMES STRIKES A HORRIFYING BLOW AT BASIC TENETS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

by Nat Hentoff

From HUSTLER MAGAZINE – April 2010

In October 2009, when President Obama enthusiastically signed into law the Hate Crimes Prevention Act— which had passed the House and Senate overwhelmingly—there were cheers from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Anti- Defamation League, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and People for the American Way.

LARRY FLYNT: Obama needs to get tough with Fox News

There's no question that President Barack Obama is a great strategist. That's how he won the 2008 presidential election. So why does he appear so helpless when it comes to the vicious, deceitful and destructive attacks that come from FOX news?

It's time for the president to get tough. Forget about reaching across the political divide, Mr. President. The attacks led by the FOX news network are crippling, not only your supporters but your very agenda and your presidency itself.
