During the Obamacare debate, Rep. G.K. Butterfield says.

North Carolina Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield said the Capitol Police told him and Georgia Rep. John Lewis during the 2009 Tea Party protests that their lives "could be in danger" if they walked out through the crowd protesting the debate over the Affordable Care Act.
Butterfield was speaking at the Durham County Library, where they were kicking off the Durham Reads Together 2014 with a march led by Reps. Lewis, Butterfield, and David Price.
"Do you remember when Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act was being debated and we all thought it was going to pass rather easily, and we went home for the August recess to find the Tea Party waiting for us at home and they organized by the tens of thousands and they were well-financed and well-organized," Butterfield said at the event.
Butterfield said Capitol Police instructed him and Lewis their lives "could be in danger" if they chose to walk through the protests back to their offices.
"The Tea Party organized and they came to Washington and walked out on the balcony of the Capitol and we could see nothing but thousands of Tea Party protesters standing and waiting for us to walk off of the House floor," Butterfield said. "The Capitol Police walked up to us and said, 'Congressmen, don't go outside, your lives could be in danger. I want you to go down the steps and into the tunnel and back over to your office buildings.'"
Butterfield then pointed to Lewis, and said Lewis and him both wanted to walk through the protests.
"And this man, against the advice of his chief of staff and my chief of staff, with those who served in Congress and came out of the struggle, we understand. We said let's do it and we walked right through the Tea Party. Walked back to our office."

Australia’s Islamic “Hate Preachers” Are Actually Pretty Tame (According To Facebook)
“I am sorry we haven’t red-carded these hate preachers before but it will happen.”
Prime Minister Tony Abbott today slammed radical Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir, calling them "hate preachers" for hosting public lectures and spouting anti-government rhetoric on Facebook.
Mr Abbott made the comments on Macquarie Radio Wednesday morning, after being asked by shock-jock Alan Jones whether he would intervene and shut down Hizb ut-Tahrir planned public lecture about western intervention in Syria in the Sydney suburb of Lakemba on Friday night.
"I am sorry we haven’t red-carded these hate preachers before but it will happen and it will happen quickly. We should have a system in place that red cards these hate preachers" said Mr Abbott.
Hizb ut-Tahrir has recently begun campaigning against the government on Facebook.

This Lib Dem MP For Bradford Says He Hates The Burqa
David Ward, MP for Bradford East, added that he thought faith schools were a “bit too smug for me”.
This is Lib Dem MP David Ward and he's just said that he hates the burka.
BBC Parliament
Ward, who has in the past got into trouble with this party, was speaking at a fringe event about faith schools at the party's final conference before the general election next year.
He said: "Women, increasingly it seems, are going around Bradford now with the burqa, including in my constituency office and I hate it."
Ward has been criticised by his party multiple times, most recently earlier this summer when he suggested he might fire a rocket into Israel if he lived in Palestine. He was also suspended last year when he called Israel an "apartheid state".
Responding to a question about faith schools, Ward expressed his displeasure with faith schools and described the environment in religious schools as "smug" and insulting to atheists.
He said: "I don't like segregating children... Faith schools tend to be a little bit too smug for me very often. They talk about a special ethos that we have, got which is a damned insult to most of the non-faith schools.
The idea that you have to be from a different religion to give you that sense of loving others, respecting others is an insult to all headteachers from non-faith schools".

How Did A CGI Anime Character Named Hatsune Miku End Up Performing On The "Late Show"?
If you haven’t heard of vocaloids yet, get ready.
This is Hatsune Miku. She's a "vocal synthesizer software" and she's hugely popular.
To keep things simple, let's refer to Hatsune Miku as a "her," but make no mistake, Hatsune Miku doesn't actually exist. She started as the mascot for a piece of software put out by Japanese software company Crypton Future Media. Her name means "The first sound from the future".

This Is How Not To Answer When Asked "Do You Support Islamic State?"
“Do you support Islamic State?” MUST WATCH ABC interview.
ABC's Lateline hosted a mind-boggling feature interview on Wednesday night, with Emma Alberici duelling with Wassim Doureihi, a spokesman from controversial Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
The Prime Minister targetted Hizb ut-Tahrir earlier in the day, calling them "hate preachers" and announcing a crackdown on speech he considered anti-Australian.
Alberici asked Doureihi specifically whether Hizb ut-Tahrir supports Islamic State fighters, not once, not twice... but 16 times!!
At one point Doureihi condemned violence but yet wouldn't give a simple yes or no to the original repeated question.
