Year: 2008

From Ben Smith’s Politico: A colleague emails: Don’t know if you watched the Derby, but the horse Hillary wanted came in second, collapsed and was killed on the spot. It’s true.  Hillary was rooting for the filly, no doubt on grounds of gender: LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Big Brown backed up his trainer’s boasts with an […]

Its a first for the organization, and some fear it will damage their already scarred reputation in South Carolina. The question that lingers over their heads….were they singled out because of their criticism of the national organization? “I believe this will truly be harmful to the A.C.L.U. and how it is perceived in the state […]

Is Barack Obama trying to lay low and run out the clock? Carl Leubsdorf at RealClearPolitics: Barack Obama looks like the quarterback of a football team intent on running out the clock to preserve its lead in a championship game. By spurning future debates, he seeks to prevent giving rival Hillary Clinton a way to […]

“In my five weeks of absence from this space, I was saddened to learn that the assault on free speech and press in Canada has been escalated.

Rather notably, the de facto general of the conservative movement’s 2008 battle strategy, Rush Limbaugh, called for a one day operational pause in Operation Chaos, his plan to make the Democratic slugfest between Obama and Clinton as long and as bloody as possible. Why the operational pause? Limbaugh said it was because of damage that […]

Last month, I wrote about a group of unhinged peace thugs who attacked an Iraq war veteran, his wife, and his fourteen-year-old son, the Swartout family. The video of the attack is now released. Brace yourself. It’s not easy viewing. The attack happens near the end, and you’ll see four of the peace thugs jump […]

The latest: —– Maybe Rev. Wright won’t hurt him as much here after all: new Zogby poll numbers are showing BO with a 16 point advantage over Hillary Clinton just four days before the NC primary. That same poll shows a tie in Indiana. However … —— A TeleResearch Corp. poll has Hillary up by […]

My post yesterday about how men need to man up ruffled a lot of feathers — as I knew it would. But it wasn’t the whiny liberals complaining this time around. Here, at Wizbang, and on Melissa’s blog, the same theme was repeated over and over again: what are women doing to deserve real men? […]

Question: “Mercilessly stolen from the previous such thread: what are some movies you hate but are ashamed to admit? I’ll start. The Godfather. All three. This happens, then that happens, then s**t happens, then some people die, and some quotable lines are said. These are supposed to be some of the best movies ever?” — […]

To get elected, conservatives have to keep the mainstream media from distorting what they really believe while liberals need the help of the mainstream media to keep the American people from realizing what they really believe.

Question: “Please enlighten me because I’m certainly no expert in these matters. Why is it that people say that the US is the lone superpower in the world? Why isn’t China considered a superpower?

Uh-oh, it looks like Barack Obama has offended some of the liberals over at the Daily Kos for finally taking some reluctant, half-hearted shots at the anti-white, anti-American, conspiracy nut he has used as a “sounding board” and a spiritual mentor. Here’s Daily Kos diarist Kaos237 playing the “race traitor” card on Obama, I have […]

Even after spending 20 years being friends with Jeremiah Wright and listening to his sermons, Barack Obama assured people that he didn’t know about his extreme views and that people were taking Wright’s comments out of context. Meanwhile, pretty much everyone else in America pegged Wright as a racist, anti-American demagogue. Well now, Wright has […]
