As college student, Eric Holder participated in ‘armed’ takeover of former Columbia University ROTC office
 As a freshman at Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as “armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.
 Department of Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of weapon.
Holder was then among the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded that the former ROTC office be renamed the “Malcolm X Lounge.” The change, the group insisted, was to be made “in honor of a man who recognized the importance of territory as a basis for nationhood.”
Black radicals from the same group also occupied the office of Dean of Freshman Henry Coleman until their demands were met. Holder has publicly acknowledged being a part of that action.

Video: Preview of Univision’s “bombshell” report on Fast & Furious

The Obama administration clearly hoped that the Department of Justice’s Inspector General report on Operation Fast and Furious would be the last word on the scandal. which has been tied to hundreds of deaths in Mexico and the murders of two American law-enforcement officials. However, a new report from Univision to be broadcast tomorrow, previewed here by ABC News, may put the issue back on the front pages. One source called Univision’s findings the “holy grail” that Congressional investigators have been seeking:

KEYSTONE KOMRADES: Obama aides contradict each other on Sunday talk shows as the Benghazi-gate cover-up unravels

And the lies keep coming and coming....

Writing at American Power, Donald Douglas observes that White House adviser David Plouffe blatantly lied while discussing Benghazi-gate on Meet the Press:

Plouffe argued that Ambassador Susan Rice was relying on extant intelligence reports in her Sunday comments on September 16th.

He's lying.

[At The Daily Beast,] Eli Lake reported that intelligence agencies knew it was a terrorist attack within hours, "U.S. Officials Knew Libya Attacks Were Work of Al Qaeda Affiliates." And see Twitchy, "David Plouffe:

‘Libya wasn’t intel failure,’ canoodling after terrorist attack is hunky-dory; Media enables lies"... The video is here.

FINISHING WHAT HE STARTED: Scariest Ad Ever

Tell me whether you agree that this may be the most terrifying ad ever created:

1. THE SCARIEST AD EVER

For those willing to examine the research, the "War on Poverty" has turned out to have been a $15 trillion failure. It has actually caused more misery, more poverty, and more violent crime than if we had never spent that money in the first place. And those trapped in the inner cities have been the hardest hit of all.

Allen West event turns into beer-throwing fight when SEIU-backed protesters arrive

Union-backed protesters interrupted Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., by taking over the balcony above an outdoor event on Wednesday before reportedly participating in a beer-throwing fight with West’s supporters.
Stand Up Florida, a group backed by the Service Employees International Union, hung a banner from their hotel balcony criticizing West. One of his supporters pulled the banner down, and then things got interesting.
TCPalm reports:

West supporters kept booing and tossed water, ice cubes, beer and a couple of middle fingers at the balcony inhabitants. Water and beer also showered down from the balcony. The protesters said it was splash-back from projectiles thrown from the crowd on the ground. However; a few West supporters said they saw protesters toss them down.

Local sheriff deputies shut down the anti-West protest at the request of the resort management.
West’s campaign released an ad today hitting Democratic opponent Patrick Murphy for getting arrested in 2003. “That night, South Beach, Miami: Patrick Murphy is thrown out of a club for fighting, covered in alcohol and unable to stand,” the narrator says in the ad, per Roll Call. “Murphy then confronts and verbally assaults a police officer.”

Chavez to Obama: I'd vote for you, and you for me

* Both men seeking re-election in imminent ballots
* Socialist Chavez has kind words for U.S. leader
* Political ties remain strained despite oil trade


CARACAS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - With both presidents facing tight re-election fights, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez gave a surprise endorsement to Barack Obama on Sunday - and said the U.S. leader no doubt felt the same.
"I hope this doesn't harm Obama, but if I was from the United States, I'd vote for Obama," the socialist Chavez said of a man he first reached out to in 2009 but to whom he has since generally been insulting.
Chavez is running for a new six-year term against opposition challenger Henrique Capriles, while Obama seeks re-election in November against Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Venezuela's election is next weekend.
"Obama is a good guy ... I think that if Obama was from Barlovento or some Caracas neighborhood, he'd vote for Chavez," the president told state TV, referring to a poor coastal town known for the African roots of its population.
Chavez is one of the world's most strident critics of Washington and his 14 years in office have been characterized by diplomatic spats and insults at the White House.
He called former U.S. President George W. Bush a "drunk" and the "devil." After an initial overture to Obama came to nothing, he said the new president had disappointed progressives the world over and was the "shame" of Africans.
But Chavez was back in a conciliatory mood in a TV interview with friend and former vice president Jose Vicente Rangel.
"After our triumph and the supposed, probable triumph of President Obama, with the extreme right defeated here and there, I hope we could start a new period of normal relations with the United States," he said.
"Obama recently said something very rational and fair ... that Venezuela is no threat to the interests of the United States," he added.
Since coming to office, Chavez has projected himself as the head of a global "anti-imperialist" movement inspired by his friend and ideological mentor Fidel Castro of Cuba.
Relations with Washington improved briefly after Obama took office in January 2009 and promised more engagement with Latin America. Chavez toned down his tirades against the "Yankee empire" and shook hands with the new U.S. leader at a summit.
But months later, he accused Obama of sticking to Bush's foreign policies and capitalist agenda, and the tirade against the United Sates began again.
Despite the ideological gulf between Washington and Caracas, both sides take a pragmatic approach when it comes to business, with OPEC member Venezuela remaining the United States' fourth biggest crude supplier.
