Year: 2004

If James Dobson actually sent this out in an email to his mailing list, then as far as I’m concerned, he owes Michael Moore an apology… “Filmmaker Michael Moore, writer/director of the new Bush-bashing documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11,” has made quite a career out of marketing himself as a man of the people, a populist everyman […]

In the same week that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, told a San Francisco audience that future President John Forbes Kerry will take money away from wealthy Americans “on behalf of the common good“, the former First Lady’s publisher announced it would not pay the $5.3 million deferred advance it owes for her book Living History. […]

Thanks to Cooper For President for making RWN their “Cool Site Of The Week”…. “Cool Site of the Week – Right Wing News – It’s the Fourth of July Weekend, you’re in a great mood, Iraq is now a sovereign nation, and all is right with the world (almost). All that’s left is a trip […]

After a bit of prodding via email from RWN reader Rachael Anderson, I’ve decided to do a 2nd edition of RWN’s fave South Park quotes (version 1 is here). Do keep in mind that South Park is an obscene & deliberately offensive show. If that sort of thing bugs you, you may want to skip […]

Spider-Man 2 is part of “a web of deception, a conspiracy to silence” Oscar-winning documentarist Michael Moore, according to the filmmaker whose Fahrenheit 9/11 is America’s current number one box office smash. “It’s not just the cynical timing of the release of Spider-Man 2,” said Mr. Moore, “but the movie endorses the unilateral and so-called […]

Much as it pains me to do so, I’m forced to agree with the French on this sure to be controversial issue…. “PARIS France intends to changes its laws to allow terminally ill patients to opt for death over further treatment without legalizing euthanasia, Health Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said on Wednesday. . Douste-Blazy, speaking after […]

Now that Saddam has been turned over to Iraqis, it’s time for a trial. Is there anything cooler than that? A once oppressed people now get to put on trial their former dictator; that’s a meme I hope spreads. Being the humanitarian I am and much smarter than that bafoonish Eugene Volokh who’s never linked […]

— If the election were held today, George Bush would win and it wouldn’t even be all that close. Starting with the red/blue 2000 electoral vote totals — Bush gets 271 & Gore had 267. Then make the adjustments for the census data — states Bush carried in 2000 added 7 more electoral votes and […]

Let me tell you how deep the partisan spin is getting: William Saletan and Jacob Weisberg over at Slate, among others including the Kerry campaign, are complaining that the new Bush campaign ad, ‘The Coalition of the Wild Eyed’, is comparing Democrats to Hitler. That just doesn’t wash. As I told The Raw Story last […]

Prepare yourself, because this is just an unbelievably

RWN reader (believe it or not) blahblah posted the following in the comments section of the

Ahem…there are those in the left who claim that contrary to what the Bush administration says, there was no relationship or ties between Iraq & Al-Qaeda. You know what I say to that? “Al Qaeda also forged alliances with the National Islamic Front in the Sudan and with the government of Iran and its associated […]

It practically goes without saying that the coverage of the war in Iraq has been so bad that most people can learn more about what’s actually going on from letters written by soldiers in theatre than they can from the New York Times or CNN. But, why is that the case? Is it liberal bias? […]

Sean does not like it when I call him a 9/11 Victim. He tells me he’s not a victim. His coworkers who died were victims. His wife of ten years was a victim. He was just there when it happened. When we are together, I ask him questions about her. He is patient with me, […]

One day last week, I posted all the blogs that I visited during that day. Of course, the massive numbers of blogs (& websites) I visit each day (S-Fri) are constantly changing. Some websites I hit every day, some multiple times per week, some once a week, and a few every once in a while. […]

If you’re not familiar with Dennis Prager’s superb columns, you’re in for a treat. I went back through a year of Prager’s work and pulled the most poignant quotes. Read and enjoy…(Cont)

— This post from Joyce at “Love and Sex and Loneliness” is undoubtedly the nicest thing anyone has ever written about me… “i love john hawkins Everytime John Hawkins at Right Wing News links to me my hits skyrocket. I wonder if I ever actually retain any of the readers he sends my way. Anyway, […]

RWN reader Donnie Bergeron sent me a nifty modern day retelling of “The Little Red Hen” folktale that he had received in his email. I liked it and wanted to post it on RWN, so I checked Google to see if I could find out who the author was. Imagine my surprise when I found […]

Not-Bushness Key to Dem’s Appeal, Poll Suggests In a new Time/CNN poll released today, a majority of voters supporting Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) for president agreed with the statement, “He is not George Bush.” The poll results seem to indicate that Mr. Kerry’s status as someone who is not President Bush is pivotal to his […]

Most conservatives are absolutely baffled by the liberal perspective on foreign policy and defending America. That’s because many of the left’s positions seem totally counterintuitive….well, for Americans. Their views would make perfect sense if say an Iranian mullah or Iraqi insurgent held them. But, that’s neither here nor there, since the goal of this column […]

I spent most of the night working on a column that I wasn’t able to finish. Normally, I’d try to plod through and punch it out tonight, but it’s already 1:20 AM and I am really dragging from skipping on my sleep all those other nights this week. ***Yawn***. So, sadly, tragically, you’ll have to […]

Once again, I’m stealing David Letterman’s intellectual property… 9. “He got ‘special sauce’ all over my copy.” 8. “No, I don’t want you to sign my breasts as well.” 7. “Hell no, I’m not going to read all this… but I will beat to death my rival drug dealer with it. Beating someone to death […]

I have read an ENORMOUS number of books in my life. I’ve hit everything from horror to history, politics, fiction, fantasy, psychology, to true crime. I know I’ve read a 1000+ books in my life easy even though I’m probably only chewing through 20-25 books a year these days because I’m so busy with RWN. […]

Tomorrow is the big nationwide debut of Michael Moore’s new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11”. So, as a tribute to the most popular author and film maker on the left, I’ve decided to post some of Michael Moore’s best quotes. Enjoy! PS: If I left any great MM quotes out, put them in the comments section and […]

Since prominent, mainstream Democrats like Tom Harkin, Terry McAuliffe, Tom Daschle, Barbara Boxer, & Paul Begala are all apparently either endorsing Michael Moore’s new film or are at least on the guest list to attend the premier, I think some important questions should be asked of them. I mean if they approve of this movie, […]

Today, I decided to keep track of all the blogs I hit. Keep in mind that the list is in order and only blogs, not websites, were included. This list ranges from blogs I regularly check, to ones I hit occasionally, and there are even a few blogs I’ve never been to before. Hopefully, this […]

A meeting between presumptive Democratic nominee John Kerry and possible running mate Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-MO) has created a mysterious black hole in the universe that could eventually swallow Earth and all of its inhabitants, scientists said today. Dr. Carlton Hong, an astrophysicist at the University of Minnesota, said that shortly after the two top […]

“And many writers have imagined for themselves republics and principalities that have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for there is such a gap between how one lives and how one ought to live that anyone who abandons what is done for what ought to be done learns his ruin rather than […]

Mike Melvill, the world’s first private-industry astronaut, said today that as SpaceShipOne reached the zenith of its 62-mile high space flight, he caught a glimpse of the upper edge of the hype surrounding former President Bill Clinton’s new memoir, My Life. “I saw the curvature of the earth’s atmosphere, the blackness of outer space and […]
