Year: 2008

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

The backpeddling begins… Pittsburgh police say a McCain campaign volunteer who said she was held down by a black man who cut the letter “B” in her face has changed her story. Police spokeswoman Diane Richard says investigators gave the 20-year-old woman a lie-detector test and are “looking at some inconsistencies” in her story. The […]

A dear reader wrote yesterday that using the term “socialist” is a code word: Martin Luther King Jr, W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, A. Philip Randolph, etc were all denounced as “socialists”. Just as with Obama, the term is employed as a euphamism for something else entirely. Righties have simply reached back in history to […]

Question: “What do you think of people talking about 2012 and already trying to take down candidates who aren’t their favorites? (i.e. People who like Palin tearing down Huckabee or vice versa.)” — adamelijah Answer: We’re not even done with this presidential election cycle, which has lasted a full two years, so it’s a little […]

Anyone familiar with the history of communism knows enough to be terrified by utopian visions. Equally frightening is the staggering breadth of the Moonbat Messiah’s ego. Not long ago, Obama told Sunday worshipers in Greenville, South Carolina that they don’t have to wait for any Second Coming: I am confident that we can create a […]

Question: “How close are we really to WWIII with Russia on the move, Israel and Iran almost certain to come to blows, a very unstable nuclear Pakistan, and a United States that will have a very difficult time putting boots on the ground in additional combat theaters for the next 2-3 years?” — Mike_M Answer: […]

Here’s Charles Krauthammer today on the people jumping ship to vote for Obama, Contrarian that I am, I’m voting for John McCain. I’m not talking about bucking the polls or the media consensus that it’s over before it’s over. I’m talking about bucking the rush of wet-fingered conservatives leaping to Barack Obama before they’re left […]

According to USA Today, a so-called “church-state watchdog group” has requested that the IRS investigate a Catholic bishop in Paterson, N.J., who has spoken out against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. From the article: In a letter sent to the IRS on Wednesday (Oct. 22), Americans United for Separation of Church and State accused Paterson Bishop […]

This year’s election mischief is not limited to the fraud perpetrated by Obama’s old ACORN friends. Swing state Virginia has been finding lame excuses to toss out military ballots, even as it allows nonresident college students to vote there. The military votes are getting tossed in plush Fairfax County, where supervisor Gerry Connolly is running […]

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Bill Russell. Why Bill Russell? He’s a conservative veteran who has a real chance to beat that corrupt, worthless sack of human garbage, John Murtha. Here’s an excerpt from Michelle Malkin’s latest column on the Murtha/Russell race. “The […]

Question: “What are the worst five movies you’ve ever had the misfortune of sitting through?” — RtWingNtCase Answer: It’s hard to come up with a list like this because, #1) I tend to get up and leave before the movie ends if it’s really bad. #2) I tend to block out bad movies. My all-time […]

Question: “If McCain loses, what role do you see for Sarah Palin in the GOP over the next 4 years?” — President_Friedman Answer: If McCain loses, I think she should head back to Alaska, get a little more experience as governor, and then throw her hat back into the ring in 2012. Quite frankly, I […]

I don’t want to spoil all the “happy talk” you’re hearing from so many people about how the polls must be wrong because they’re telling us something we don’t want to hear, but unless the momentum shifts, John McCain is going to lose what may literally turn out to be the most important election of […]

George Will characterizes government at both the state and federal level as recently having a number of “Willie Sutton” moments. Sutton was a famous and quite prolific bank robbers of years gone by. What caught Will’s attention is something the brain trust in Congress is dreaming up (much like the 401(k) scam I talked about […]

I keep thinking that I won’t be shocked and then I’m shocked. A woman is beaten and has a “B” carved on her face for having a McCain sticker on her car, after the criminal robs her of $60 from the ATM. Nice. (Picture here.) What if, by some ice cube’s chance in the third […]

Apparently forgetting that the election isn’t over yet, Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) has admitted to Democrat plans to shut down talk radio once they have the political leverage. Television and print media are overwhelmingly — often cartoonishly — liberal. But the conservative opposition has carved out a home on talk radio, where Rush and Hannity […]

Sorry to beat the drum, but Bill Ayers and Barack Obama are good friends. Period. Here’s more from a victim of Ayers: One thing that strikes me with all this, is that with the cacophony of news and the news cycle, it’s impossible to keep everything straight. This clip was five months ago. Since Barack […]

Communists killed over 100 million of their own people in the course of the 20th Century (as horrifyingly documented here). But even though we have communists here in the USA, we’ll never have genocide, because our democratic safeguards would stop evil people from getting that much power, right? Via Stop the ACLU, here’s video of […]

On Right Wing News Radio this week, I talked about Colin Powell’s endorsement, the state of the campaign, why I’m done talking about Ayers & ACORN, “big government” Republicans, and what — God forbid — an Obama presidency would look like. If you’ve never caught Right Wing News radio, my 30 minute blogtalkradio show, this […]

Robin Hayes said this comment came out “completely the wrong way,” but he’s running for reelection. I’m not, so I am going to tell you that I agreed with what he said, “Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God.” — Robin Hayes This is what passes for a […]

There is absolutely no way that a group as crooked as ACORN should be getting a dime of federal funds, so kudos to John Boehner for trying to uncouple them from the federal teat, House Republican leader John Boehner on Wednesday urged President Bush to block all federal funds to a grass-roots community group that […]

Kudos to the NRA for giving that lying, gun grabbing, sack of crap Obama hell in this outstanding attack ad. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for the video. Update #1: Here’s another ad I like: Obama’s Plan: Driver’s Licenses for Illegals.

The good news is that the race is tightening in the battleground states. McCain looks to be ahead by a nose in Florida, Ohio and Missouri look like toss-ups, and in most of the key states, McCain seems to be gaining. The bad news is that McCain isn’t on pace to win any states that […]

The squishy, moderate, establishment wing of the Republican Party, which is largely responsible for ruining the Party’s brand over the last few years, absolutely insisted that we had to force through amnesty for illegal aliens. The phone calls were running 100 to 1 against it and at one point, they got up to such a […]

Two slightly racier bonus MySpace photoshops below the fold. PS: My MySpace page is here. Feel free to add yourself on as a friend.

The two candidates for president have outlined their belief in AGW and how they’d fight it, but thankfully the global climate situation isn’t cooperating. From Australia, Andrew Bolt brings us this update: Last year’s summer melt had been so fierce that climate scientists warned that the warmed seas gave us a 50-50 chance of an […]

Amanda Carpenter reports that MSNBC has an “Election Protection” division: When asked for comment about ACORN’s role in the project MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines wrote Townhall in an email “this a question for them, not us.” Most of the groups MSNBC wants their viewers to contact and shape their news coverage on Election Day have […]
