Yet another controversial toy, this one a play cell phone with Bin Laden’s image in the display just below the word “King”.

A company called El Club Mexicano, based in Ashboro, N.C., packages and distributes the toy packs. A spokesman tells Channel 9 they stopped shipping them two months ago when they discovered the picture of bin laden. They say they received their shipment from L and M Exports in Miami.

You may remember the name. That’s the same company that shipped a toy depicting a plane spinning between two identical towers, and the serial number on the toy was 9011.

Vega remembers seeing our story on that terror toy.

“It just hit me, with the two towers and the airplane and now this. What’s going on? What else are we going to find in one of these packages?” she comments.

We called L and M Import and Export on Tuesday. They say they get the phones from China and were unaware of the picture of bin Laden. They plan to recall the toy and stop doing business with the company. It’s not clear why that company would put the picture on the phone.

This is the third controversial toy. The first was a toy showing two similar towers with a plane spinning between. It was discovered in an Orange County store.

The second was Osama bin Laden between the same two towers, bought in another state.

I wrote about the first two toys here and here. Pictures of all the toys can be found here.

DefeatJohnJohn.com has a great offer:

So, for anyone still willing to consider that these documents are anything other than cheap, childish forgeries, I am offering $10,000 right now to anyone who can find for me a typewriter from 1972 that could have reasonably made those documents. Payment will be made in the form of a cashiers check to the first individual who can do this. The typewriter must be using the same proportionally spaced font as the CBS documents, the same curly-quotation marks, the same impossible superscripted “th”s, the same 13-point line spacing, and create a document that looks as much (or more) like the alleged forgeries than does a Microsoft Word document with default fonts and margins.

And you thought those old typewriters in your attic would never be worth anything.

Oh wait, they won’t — because the chances of someone having one is less than the chance of me winning best looking bikini body at a Girls Gone Wild gala next spring break.

Democrat attack dog James Carville made a bizzare charge during a radio interview today: the GOP wrote Zell Millers speech for him and drugged him to get him to give the speech.

Anyone who actually saw the speech would dismiss this in a second. The passion and sincerity with which he spoke would be impossible to evoke in a drugged state. No one could think that the man was drugged when his piercing eyes drilled into the camera and he said:

And, no pair has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

U.S. forces armed with what? Spitballs?

Methinks it is Carville who is on crack.

The Associated Press bemoans the fact that Republican delegates call Michael Moore a “Fat Pig”:

The Republicans are “behaving exactly like the third-grade bullies who tormented me as a child,” says Marilyn Wann, author of the book “FAT!SO?” “Any time you invoke the f-word” ? and here she means “fat,” not another f-word ? “you’re using an incredibly powerful weapon.”

“They’re thinking this is going to hurt him more, this is going to hurt him as a person,” agrees Sandy Schaffer, New York chair of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance.

Meanwhile in other news:

U.S. Rep. Major Owens, a New York Democrat, warned a crowd of feminist protesters that the Bush administration is taking America “into a snake pit of fascism.”

Owens also said the Bush administration “spits on democracy” and is leading the country down a path reminiscent of “Nazi Germany.”

“Fat pig” vs. “Nazi Fascist”. Which is worse? You decide.

However, Owens (who may or may not be a fat pig) said one think that I hope is true:

The country as we know it cannot survive another Bush administration.

That’s right, you commie bastard, another Bush administration will roll back the New Deal that has entrapped millions in a class struggle for generations. Another Bush administration will see the results of education reform and give hope to millions of children currently trapped in failing schools. Time to tear down the walls and give everyone equal opportunity.

Three days ago it was discovered that “toys” depicting a plane flying into the Twin Towers were inserted into bags of candy. Now another “toy” has been discovered in the same batch, but this one has the likeness of Usama bin Ladan suspended between the buildings:

“Importers did not realize what they were buying. They were buying assortments of toys and they get to people like us trying to sell authentic Mexican candies. Nobody caught it and it went out into the stores,” explains Lisy Corporation manager Luis Pardon.

The manager of Lisy Corporation says the candy was originally purchased sight unseen, but now he’ll send back all he’s collected.

Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled.

Lisy Corp., the wholesaler that distributed the candy, said Friday that the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company.

The toys came in an assortment purchased sight unseen from L&M Import (search) in Miami and included the toys depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the twin towers, whistles and other small toys, said Luis Pedron, Lisy’s national sales manager. The invoice said the toy was a plastic swing set.

“I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making,” Pedron said.

Pedron said Lisy did not notice the small plastic figurines until two people complained, but there is no mistaking what the toys represent: At the bottom of each is the product number 9011.

How about a few toys distributed around the Middle East showing American planes dropping bombs on the Kaaba and/or a particular mosque on Medina?

I know, it’s not a war on all of Islam, just an extreme faction. And there really are moderate Muslims, such as the Muslims for Bush (hat tip to Donald Sensing). I’m just saying, “Imagine the outrage.”

Bond and Mfume are, without question, the two most radical partisans ever to lead the
NAACP, the nation’s oldest and most distinguished civil rights group. Both are former
Democrat office-holders-Bond as a member of the Georgia Legislature, Mfume as
Congressman from Maryland-and both have brought a decidedly liberal agenda to their
current positions in this venerable organization. As its two top leaders, they have allowed
their hatred of the GOP to take their rhetoric to new lows during this election season.

Julian Bond has equated President Bush and the Republican Party with Nazis and the
Taliban. He has made outrageous statements, such as, “Their idea of equal rights is the
American flag and Confederate swastika flying side by side” and “they appeal to the dark
underside of American culture, to that minority of Americans who reject democracy and
equality.” At this year’s NAACP convention, Mfume ridiculed conservative blacks, comparing them to
“ventriloquist’s dummies” who “sit there in the puppet master’s voice, but we can see whose
lips are moving, and we can hear his money talk.”

And these two wonder why the President of the United States (who has appointed a black
Secretary of State, a black National Security Advisor and a black Secretary of Education)
wants no part of addressing their organization this year. I’m fairly certain that the vast majority
of Americans of any color would take great exception with the characterization that a highly
decorated, retired four-star Army General like Colin Powell is a “puppet,” or that a brilliant
scholar like Dr. Condoleezza Rice is a “dummy.”

The venom oozing from Bond and Mfume is a testament to their obvious desire to torpedo any possible dialogue that might have existed between the White House and the NAACP.
