August 22, 2004, 7:30pm: Hebre Productions presents this important and provocative lecture with Clinton Versus Israel author David S. Crystal, website here. The book exposes the direct effects that actions and statements on the part of members of the Clinton State Department had on the media and its coverage of Israel since the onset of the Oslo Accords. These effects continue to linger today, engendering further anti-Israel bias. The main points of evidence for the inequitable treatment of Israel by the Clinton State Department and its influencing coverage in the media are found in analyses of violations of the Oslo Accords, the Hasmonean Tunnel situation, and the Har Choma dispute. Clinton Versus Israel: How the Clinton State Department Instigated Anti-Israel Bias in the Media informs generations to come on the truth pertaining to both the mid-East conflict and the Clinton administration. "It will finally set the record straight on how today's anti-Israel bias was engendered. Millions of Jews and Americans can now be armed with the facts they need to call the Clinton administration to account for its transgressions," says Crystal. At the Hineini Center, 232 West End Avenue near West 70th Street. COST: $5

· “Their success suggests a hearty appetite for entertainment on the right.” -- WASHINGTON TIMES
· “The Right Stuff comics share a need to speak up on political issues they sometimes have kept buried to succeed in the largely left-leaning entertainment industry.” -- MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE
· “The Right Stuff wanted - no, they demanded - equal rights. The right to proudly take the mic and quip about Kerry, mock the tree huggers and skewer Streisand.” -- ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Tired of Republican bashing? Tired of Bush bashing? Tired of America bashing?
Well this is the “Bash” for you! Come spend an evening with comedians who look at the world the “Right” way…
Look out, Bill Maher! Step aside, Janeane Garofalo! Run for cover, Michael Moore!
“The Right Stuff” is a provocative, clean, and wickedly funny show that pokes fun at the hard left and political correctness, making for a hilarious evening of humorous venting at liberal “conventional wisdom” and the elite media establishment.
The show’s headline M.C. and Host is “Big Daddy” Jeff Wayne from HBO’s Comic Relief and Showtime’s Full Frontal Comedy. Jeff tackles gun control, capital punishment, the Democratic Party, and the insensitivity of the media to the plight of white males!
Also featured will be:
· Julia Gorin, a Fox News and Wall Street Journal contributor from New York City. She’s Jewish, a Russian immigrant, female, lives in Manhattan, and votes Republican--the Democratic Party’s worst nightmare!
· Chris Warren, who hails from that ultra-liberal haven of political correctness,the Pacific Northwest. This “politically incorrect” comic just got back from entertaining our troops in the Middle East, and now he’s ready to entertain you.
· Steve Eblin, who just returned from 2 comedy tours for the U.S. troops in the Middle East and Afghanistan. Steve finds the honesty and hilarity in everything from a fiercely American perspective.
