Is the Response to Totalitarianism More Totalitarianism?
by Douglas Murray:
The competition may be pretty intense, but if I were asked to name the single worst idea in the twentieth century it would be the one adopted by people who believed that the response to totalitarianism was totalitarianism. The twentieth century is littered with these people: those who became fascists because they were fearful of communists, or communists because they were fearful of fascists. Both had reason to fear the other, but both ended by propelling the other and in the process sucking nearly all air out of the decent center ground.
Of course those who took the fascist cause to their heart have not heard the end of it. Even those who played no active part in the horrors of Nazism find themselves rightly excoriated if they ever acted as apologists for, or deniers of, the crimes of that wicked ideology. When Diana Mosley went on the BBC radio program, “Desert Island Discs,” and reminisced about how amusing her friend Adolf Hitler had been, it went down very badly indeed. Alas for her, had she only made the right type of friends on the other side of the totalitarian spectrum she might have gone to her grave a national treasure.
For certainly that is how the news was received in Britain after the death of Eric Hobsbawm on 1st October at the age of 95. A prize-winning and highly decorated historian, Hobsbawm was lauded in death, as in life, by colleagues from academia and the world of left-wing politics. Former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair released a personal tribute. His predecessor, Neil Kinnock, reminisced about what a guru Hobsbawm had been to him while Kinnock was leader of the Labour party. The current Labour leader, Ed Miliband, himself the son of a famous Marxist, mourned, “An extraordinary historian, a man passionate about his politics and a great friend of my family.”

Bombshell: Obama campaign solicited cash from foriegn donors
Rick Moran:
The campaign to re-elect Barack Obama has raised almost $950 million dollars this election cycle. How much of that is illegal?
The Daily Caller is reporting that the Obama campaign “illegally solicited” foreign donations through a social media site:

Video Shows Christians Made Hostage By Syrian Rebels
By Theodore Shoebat:
A video released in May, never posted in English until now, shows a Christian doctor, alongside his two sons, as kidnapped hostages. They were kidnapped by members of the Free Syrian Army, the largest of the rebel groups. The rebels are using them so that the bodies and prisoners of their Jihadist revolution can be retrieved. This is clear and open evidence that the Free Syrian Army, and the revolution as a whole, is an anti-Christian and Jihadist movement, and the members thereof will not hesitate to kidnap and murder innocent civilians.
I have provided the video with English subtitles:

Obama bundler tied to Chinese government?
:by Ed Morrissey:
Most Republicans recall the Doodad Pro controversy from almost exactly four years ago, where Team Obama campaign websites turned off credit card security checks that allowed fraudulent and foreign donations to flow into the campaign. Could that be happening again? According to a new independent report from the Government Accountability Institute and reported by Breitbart, not only is it actually happening again — it’s actually gotten worse. A bundler for Barack Obama has set up a shady website operation to collect donations to the campaign, but it’s based in Shanghai, and the bundler has ties to the Chinese government:

School allows OFA to register students but not Romney campaign
by The Right Scoop:
A great find by Todd Starnes with Fox News and one that should outrage parents everywhere. But I have one question.
Why would Obama For America go to middle schools to register students and why were they given access to it? The article notes that they gave left-wing speeches in the classrooms, but registering anyone less than 18 years old to vote is illegal right? It doesn’t make sense that Pasco County Schools would have given them access to middle schoolers.
GAI releases study claiming Obama may be getting foreign donations
by The Right Scoop:
Remember in 2008 how it was found that the Obama donation website wasn’t forcing customers to put in the little 3 digit number (CVV code) and that could open them up to receiving foreign donations? Well, it’s happening again:
