Hannity “Hamers” Safe School Czar’s NAMBLA Problem with Legendary FBI Undercover Agent

2009 October 10
by David Forsmark
Wednesday night, Sean Hannity opened his show with a terrific guest—and even let him talk. Bob Hamer was an FBI undercover agent who infiltrated the Russian mob posing as an arms dealer, made the famous bust of the North Korean super-counterfeiters, and spent five skin-crawling years infiltrating the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).

Despite the made for TV-type danger posed by the first two assignments mentioned above, Hamer’s decided his first superb book, The Last Undercover: The True Story of an FBI Agent’s Dangerous Dance with Evil, should be about his NAMBLA case, because he felt the most urgency to expose this conspiracy of pedophiles that’s given cover by the courts and defended by the ACLU.

FYI Y'all
The first "Czar" I remember was the so called "Drug Czar" - apparently that one has been arround since 71.

It would appear that Obama is, among other things, expanding on tradition!

Quote:

The list is subjective and imprecise, since frequently individuals or offices might be referred to by the nickname "czar" by some publication or a political opponent, yet the actual governmental official, a majority of publications and others do not use the term.

Summary table - Number of czars per administration, President's name, In office: Number of "czar" jobs; Number of appointees.

Franklin Roosevelt 1933–1945: 12; 19
Harry Truman 1945–1953: 6; 6
Dwight Eisenhower 1953–1961: 1; 1
John F. Kennedy 1961-1963: ?; ?
Lyndon Johnson 1963–1969: 3; 3
Richard Nixon 1969–1974: 3; 5
Gerald Ford 1974–1977: 1; 1
Jimmy Carter 1977–1981: 2; 3
Ronald Reagan 1981–1989: 1; 1
George H. W. Bush 1989–1993: 2; 3
Bill Clinton 1993–2001: 7 ;10
George W. Bush 2001–2009: 31; 46
Barack Obama 2009: 32; 35

The numbers are based upon the sortable list below. Please see it for details and references. Note that what is measured is the popularity of the word czar, rather than an objective measure of authority. Also note that under George W. Bush only 31 Czar titles had been currently found, thus only 31 Czars. For example, there has been an Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health since the passage of the Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, but the phrase "mine safety czar" was only applied to the position since the controversial appointment of Richard Stickler to the post in 2006. Similarly, there has been a director of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs since the office was created by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, but the term "regulatory czar" was not applied to the post until 2001.

Czar Blocks BofA Chief's Pay

OCTOBER 16, 2009
BUSINESS
By DEBORAH SOLOMON and DAN FITZPATRICK
WASHINGTON—The Treasury Department's pay czar pushed outgoing Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Kenneth D. Lewis into giving back about $1 million he received so far this year and forgoing the rest of his $1.5 million salary for 2009, say people familiar with the matter.

The move makes Mr. Lewis the biggest target so far of Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury's "special master" for compensation. He also asked that Mr. Lewis pass up any 2009 bonus from the Charlotte, N.C., bank....

What about conservative views on bank/market regulation. Does the word 'regulation' automatically make something liberal?

Americans only seem to want regulation when they are wronged. It seems like liberals simply perceive that they are wronged more often.

IMO the "us" (conservative or liberal) vs "them" (vice versa) mentality keeps both side's clowns in office.

I would think a bunch of us "conservatives" are really more libertarian than we want to admit.

The problem is the "others" don't want me to just say "do it" they want me to say "It's OK that you do it, normal, everyone should do it and lets teach it in our schools."

If they can regulate Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Coulter et al out of action, they'll be ecstatic.
