Year: 2008

The enormous improvement in Iraq’s security situation caused by the surge has been so undeniable that even the mainstream press has started alternating between ignoring Iraq completely and acknowledging, albeit reluctantly, that the surge has put victory within reach in Iraq. So with that in mind, it’s worth taking the time to look back at […]

Over the last few years, we’ve heard endless comparisons between George Bush and Hitler, but let’s face it: Obama has a lot more in common with Hitler than Bush ever did. Obama is toweringly arrogant, uses messianic, fascistic rhetoric, seems to have ambitions that stretch past his own country to the world, and has legions […]

When is a bombshell not a bombshell? When it makes a prominent Democrat look bad. Anyone who doesn’t rely on the MSM for news knows by now that John Edwards, who made a big deal about his loyalty to his cancer-stricken wife during his failed presidential campaign, was actually cheating on her and presiding over […]

Here’s some good news for anyone sick of being force-fed a relentless diet of pernicious environmentalist hogwash: Last week, The New York Times noted that the advertising industry is pulling back from green-themed marketing, having “grasped the public’s growing skepticism over ads with environmental messages. And advertisers’ concerns are buttressed by the recent sales figures […]

Yesterday, I spent most of the afternoon moderating comments. I criticized Obama and wondered at his propaganda usage, location, and methods and that brought the rain of hate. But there was one comment that I loved the most just for sheer creativity. I mean, “die bitch” is pretty boring. This one has some flair and […]

The latest, urgent crisis to grip the European Union, and of course, a commission is needed to enforce the rules. From the BBC: Trade in seal products would be allowed only where they came with guarantees that the animals did not suffer unnecessarily. A certification scheme would be established including, if necessary, a distinctive label […]

McCain wants to start the surge too early, Wesley Clark gets his facts wrong and also claims the Saudis had a hand in calming the violence – the surge has become a bit of a political football in this not yet official presidential contest. So let’s discuss this as rationally as possible. Yes, the Anbar […]

“Asked about the National Enquirer story, Edwards says: “That’s tabloid trash. They’re full of lies. I’m here to talk about helping people.” Translation: The story is 100% take-it-to-the-bank true. As Byron York notes, the Enquirer probably paid sources to get the story, but the reporting looks solid. If the account of him being caught in […]

Everywhere you look these days, you see billionaire oil magnate T. Boone Pickens promoting wind power as the answer to America’s energy problems. For example, here’s a story that ran yesterday in the San Antonio Business Journal, Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens told lawmakers that a switch to American-produced energy resources within the next 10 […]

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 […]

Don’t these Orthodox Jews know who the ObamaMessiah is? They’re supposed to be fainting for him, not heckling him for using their holy site as a mere political prop, Barack Obama completed his trip to the Middle East with a pre-dawn visit to the holiest place in Judaism where he received a mixed reaction from […]

As things have steadily improved in Iraq, cough, cough, coincidentally, cough, cough, the press has steadily gotten less interested in reporting what’s happening. Take a look at the numbers, “The number of embedded reporters in Iraq has plummeted 74 percent over the past nine months, from 219 in September 2007 to a low of 58 […]

Yesterday, the “Prince of Darkness” Robert Novak clipped a pedestrian while he was toodling around town in his Corvette. That, in and of itself would have drawn some attention, but what has really got the blogosphere’s juices flowing is that Novak didn’t stop after the accident, Syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak was cited by police […]

Despite the conventional wisdom that emerging demographic trends would lead to the emergence of a Democratic majority, it appears that there’s some good trends for the Republicans. Reyling on Clark Bensen’s PoliData apportionment estimates, Michael Barone finds, in a piece entitled “Demographic Trends Could Make It Harder for Obama and Democrats,” that several states are […]

Obama’s alarming calls for the sort of “national service” normally associated with communist regimes and Nazi Germany will no doubt be backed to the hilt by his enablers in the media, particularly the execrable Time magazine. NewsBusters reports: Time magazine isn’t satisfied with reporting the news. It wants to play both journalist and lobbyist. Their […]

Two Things. #1) I am now on Twitter. If you use Twitter, you can follow me here if you’re so inclined. #2) The very new, Right Wing News forum is up to 140 members and growing. It hasn’t quite hit that critical mass, where it’s a little mini-Free Republic, but give it time and some […]

Last week, I interviewed Kathleen Parker about her new book, Save the Males: Why Men Matter Why Women Should Care. What follows is an edited transcript of our conversation: Now, the average left-wing feminist response to your book is probably akin to, “Ah, men have the advantage in every way. Why would anyone need to […]

An evangelical, very religious conservative friend of mine wrote and asked me what scared me about Obama. Well, there’s more than a few things. 1. Elitism: Barack Obama thinks he’s better than the average American. He believes that Americans are stupid. Therefore, he will be justified in putting forth all sorts of policies that are […]

Just in time for his overseas media extravaganza, the Obamessiah’s 757 is back in service after undergoing a month-long, $500,000 overhaul. As you can see, Obama remade the gigantic jet in his own image. Before: After: Remember, patriotism isn’t showing how much you love your country by proudly displaying Old Glory. It’s “accepting your responsibility […]

Most people on the right side of the blogosphere don’t pay attention to the tabloids, but because I do, those of you who regularly read Right Wing News heard the name Rielle Hunter way back in October of 2007. Here’s what I was saying back then while commenting on the National Enquirer story, It seems […]

Just when you thought the liberals in Hollywood couldn’t come up with a dumber, less popular form of film than the string of anti-war bombs that have been stinking up theaters of late, along comes this, The Media Mob has learned that a team of Hollywood insiders is currently working on a screen adaptation of […]

When liberals thought it was politically expedient to declare Iraq lost, that was what they did. Liberal after liberal after liberal told us that we could not win in Iraq, that the surge was a waste of time, and that we should leave ASAP. For example, there’s Time’s Joe Klein. Klein, like Hillary Clinton and […]

Never thought I’d write that in a title. Here is Obama, being interviewed by Katie Couric, squirming and shuffling about the surge: Katie Couric (CBS): Before the surge, as you know, Senator, there were 80 to 100 U.S. casualties a month, the country was rife with sectarian violence, and you raised a lot of eyebrows […]

A note about the picture juxtaposition: This is about artistic tone. The profile view. The serious expression. The shading. When I saw the Obama flier picture, my mind immediately called up this Hitler image and I was struck by how similar they are in feel the color choice differences aside. Unnerving really. Patrick Ruffini draws […]

I say advertising works. Watch this: I believe that changing the channel is a choice. Walking by the magazine rack with eyes covered is a choice. But, come on! Advertisers pay big bucks because it works. And so, our girls are inundated with messages about looks, sluttiness, superficiality and meanness and they grow up either […]
