Year: 2008

Ever notice that whirlpool of weirdness that envelopes you whenever you hear everyday left-wing people describing the smartness of left-wing politicians? You’re not imagining it. Picking up where she stopped last time we noticed her, Dr. Melissa Clouthier continues her thoughts about common sense, and what she calls “intellectualism,” which I delight in calling other […]

The description of the event the remarks were made at reads, “Heartland Democratic Presidential Forum 12/07 – forum for thousands of community organizers including Gamaliel and ACORN people.” Here’s the vid: (Hat tip: ST reader Denise) I was watching CNN this morning and they were showing clips of an interview they did with ACORN director […]

If I wrote this, or, say, if someone like Michelle Malkin, John Hawkins, Jonah Goldberg, or Charles Krauthammer did, would you wonder if we had completely lost our minds? Manes Julii Caesaris paucis diebus aderant — “O, most bloody sight!” — cum Ioannes McCainus, mavericus et veteranus captivusque Belli Francoindosinini, et Sara Palina, barracuda borealis, […]

First, watch the video in this blog entry at American Thinker. Then let’s talk. Yes, I agree that Philip Berg sounds like a member of the tinfoil hat brigade. And he’s got a rather questionable history, since he’s a Truther. All in all, not a very reliable source. Nevertheless, as I learned in law school, […]

I just got off the radio with Greta of Kiss My Gumbo, the New Orleans radio show/blog that discusses politics and culture in Louisiana (or, as I call it, “the other L.A.”). Greta’s show on 790 WIST in New Orleans goes live on-air on Saturday mornings, and as a consummate egomaniac I assume she scheduled […]

And you aren’t allowed to use the words “hope” or “change”, or any kind of rhetoric. You’re only allowed to use specific examples of specific policies and specific positions he holds. It’s pretty hard, isn’t it? Throughout this entire election cycle, Barack Obama has maintained a carefully crafted image. He’s said himself that he “serve[s] […]

From my brand new article at PajamasMedia on yesterday’s verdict: The Canadian Islamic Congress issued a statement on Friday evening, putting the best spin possible on the outcome. “We are pleased that the tribunal acknowledged the article in question contained ‘numerous factual, historical, and religious inaccuracies about Islam and Muslims’ and that it attempted ‘to […]

Here’s the Right Wing News guest blogger line-up this week-end. Saturday ——– Bookworm from Bookworm Room Cassy Fiano Kathy Shaidle Five Feet Of Fury Morgan from House of Eratosthenes Gina Cobb John Stephenson from Stop The ACLU Little Miss Attila Sunday ——- Ron Coleman from Likelihood of Success Sister Toldjah William Teach from Pirate’s Cove […]

What’s Obama’s latest dodge? Oh yeah, he didn’t know Ayers did all those things. Oh wait, that was the last one. Now it’s “I thought he was rehabilitated”. Well watch this [Not Safe for Work – language in one spot]: You know, I have to wonder what the reaction would be if David Duke had […]

Here’s an interesting little mental exercise to try. First, come up with a list of reasons to oppose Sarah Palin. Not her running mate; just her. Think back on everything you’ve heard. Every rationalization. Every supposed scandal. Every little blessed thing. You’re making an exhaustive list, here. From that, eliminate two things that are only […]

Newsbusters again… Gov. Sarah Palin parachuted into a phone interview on the Laura Ingraham show in the last minutes of the program today at about ten minutes to Noon eastern. She urged citizens (and by extension, the media) to demand answers from Barack Obama and Joe Biden about Bill Ayers, ACORN, and Obama’s record of […]

Newsbusters… A single report by KFYI radio of Phoenix, Arizona highlights a shocking claim made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). HUD says that five million illegal aliens hold illegal mortgages. This is just one more example of the lax lending laws put into place by Democrats like Barney Frank that have […]

John Stossel snags the forty-third award for the Best Sentence I’ve Heard Or Read Lately (BSIHORL): Everybody talked about the “freeze” in the credit markets, but why, I wonder, were the cable news programs that repeated the credit-freeze mantra pausing for commercials from companies trying to lend me money? He goes on… Ditech and LendingTree […]

Dr. Melissa Clouthier dares — dares! — to make a distinction between the two. Sarah Palin inspires vitriol for many reasons among the smug knobby-headed class. The latest unguarded moment came courtesy David Brooks who called Sarah Palin a “cancer on the party” to a group of writers from The Atlantic. (As AllahPundit points out, […]

Question: During the veep debates, Melissa spoke of Palin’s offering a handshake first as a sign of dominance or power. I work in a high pressure oilfield job. In what other subtle, professional ways can I show my clients that I am the one in control, and that I own the situation? Move with intention. […]

“The convergence of an economic crisis and complete Democratic control of Washington should alarm even those conservatives eager to wash their hands of the GOP. The best reason for even the most disaffected right-winger to root for a McCain victory is simple: To the extent that much of the progressive agenda is a program in […]

Barack Obama’s surrogates have already begun their policy of “meeting without precondition”. If you fund terrorism or support terrorist groups morally, you will have a friend in the White House, should Barack Obama win the election. Gateway Pundit reports and has so much more. He says: “Surely, it must have been an accident that these […]

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Andy Harris. Harris is a conservative Navy vet running in a very Republican district, but he’s in jeopardy for the same reason you should particularly want to support him: he beat Chafeesque RINO Wayne Gilchrist in the primary […]

Question: “I have heard attacks against CEO’s getting “golden parachutes” lately, because the economic downturn and the fact that we are paying for some of these in the numerous bailouts. This policy of awarding money upon firing is becoming standard practice, but can’t be good for the future of our corporations. Although I realize that […]

Question: Will America ever stop subsidizing bad decision ie, will we ever get back the small fed that the founders envisioned, and we lived under until the New Deal?” — bthewolf Answer: That is highly doubtful, my friend, because only a teeny, tiny percentage of Americans genuinely wants to do that today and explaining why […]

Having the media behind it has encouraged the Obama campaign to take the Audacity of Hype to appalling extremes of arrogance. Obama’s Fight the Smears site even denies that BHO worked for the Radical Left vote fraud outfit ACORN, even though it is public knowledge that he was a top trainer for ACORN brownshirts (or […]

Question: “Why is there a PETA ad linked from the right-hand frame of RWN?” — jimb123 Answer: I’ve actually been meaning to write a post about this, so now is as good a time as any to do it. First off, long time readers of RWN know that if people are willing to pay me […]

Apparently the Left’s messiah doesn’t want to wait to be elected before throwing a monkey wrench into our foreign policy: At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the […]
