The Trade-Off: Should We Commit Mentally Unstable People?

Posted on by John Hawkins

“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” — Thomas Sowell James Lee Lougher, the shooter in the Tucscon massacre, was a scary dude and a lot of people knew he had serious issues before he went on a rampage. After he was accused of shooting 20 people last Saturday, school officials described his behavior […]

 

Krauthammer: Palin’s Statement on Tucson ‘Unfortunate and Unnecessary’

Posted on by Donald Douglas

Charles Krauthammer responds to Jewish criticisms of Sarah Palin’s use of the term “blood libel.” He mainly laments that Palin gave the speech at all. Sure, it might be a sensitive issue given that Gabrielle Giffords is Jewish, and she’s fighting for her life while the rest of the nation debates allegations of “blood libel”? […]

 

Naming Names: Some Of The Liberals Who Were Overjoyed About The Tucson Shooting

Posted on by John Hawkins

Sadly, there have always been mentally disturbed people who’ve acted out violently. Sometimes it’s against their families, at their jobs, schools, places of employment — and sometimes it’s against famous targets. Most people, when they hear about events of this sort, feel sorrow for the senseless loss of innocent life. We wonder why God allows […]

 

The Tucscon Memorial Service: The Sick Reaction Of The Crowd

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Tucscon Memorial Service was a grotesque event. It was not grotesque because it was on television, although I’m not entirely sure why it was televised. It was not grotesque because inexplicably, it seems like politician after politician was speaking. To their credit, everyone including Barack Obama, gave speeches that seemed to be entirely appropriate […]

A Thank You Call to America’s Worst Sheriff

Posted on by Dave Blount

The worst sheriff in America, Pima County’s irresponsible Clarence Dupnik, has accomplished notable achievements in the past. For example, he assisted in the non-prosecution of fellow moonbats who threw pies at Ann Coulter when she tried to speak at the University of Arizona. When SB1070 passed with the overwhelming support of Arizona citizens alarmed by […]

 

Union Boss With History of Violence Decries Vitriolic Rhetoric of Right

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Well, it’s the old “glass houses” story, isn’t it? AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka weighed in on the criminal shooting in Arizona and naturally he blamed the whole incident on “too much vitriolic, hate-filled rhetoric that we hear on radio and television.” This from a guy who has many times used worse rhetoric to incite violence […]

Posted on by William Teach

Actually, let’s give this one a double snap, as I have been waiting about two years for an alarmist story like this to show up, after several harsh winters Blasting along the Ohio Turnpike, few will notice the coastal salt marsh plants growing along the shoulder. Such plants are now common at the mid-western roadside, […]

 

NY Times: More Gun Control! John Boehner: “No”

Posted on by William Teach

Why, yes, the NY Times editorial board is still beating the anti-gun drum, in an attempt to make sure a good tragedy does not go to waste. After discussing Rep Peter King’s silly notion of not allowing guns within 1,000 feet of politicians, something which criminals and wacko’s would surely ignore, because they are criminals […]

Words That Are Too Dangerous To Be Used Anymore Starting With Job “Killing”

Posted on by John Hawkins

Super Genius Chellie Pingree, Congresswoman (D-ME), has spotted a potential danger: A word that could lead to MURDER. Save us, congresswoman, save us! A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to repeal health care […]

 

Amateur Hour In The White House: Obama Ticks Off The Brits

Posted on by John Hawkins

One of the things we heard over and over during the 2008 campaign was that we needed a skillful diplomat like Barack Obama in the White House to make up for the damage that “Cowboy” George Bush has done internationally. Then, of course, Barack Obama actually got into office and everyone found out that absolutely […]

 

10 Year Anniversary Post: The Best Of 10 Years Of RWN Interviews

Posted on by John Hawkins

I started Right Wing News back in January of 2001 and as of the first of this year, I’ve been running the page for 10 long years. During that time, I’ve pumped out a lot of great content and I’m going to be posting a little of the “best of” material this month. Today will […]

 

Parents Neutered on Passport Applications

Posted on by Dave Blount

Our liberal ruling class has been institutionalizing bizarre, child-warping mutations of the traditional family. It shows up in little ways — like the politically incorrect concept of children having a mother and a father being expunged from passport applications. “The words in the old form were ‘mother’ and ‘father,’” said Brenda Sprague, deputy assistant Secretary […]

 

Hasan Versus Loughner: The New York Times Has Jumped the Shark

Posted on by Dave Blount

No wonder the New York Times won’t renounce the Pulitzer Prize won by Walter Duranty for whitewashing the Holodomor on behalf of communism. When it comes to suppressing the truth in support of America’s enemies and telling lies to advance collectivist politics, Duranty’s crimes against journalism would still fit nicely with the editorial policy of […]

 

Emanuel Pushing Anti-Teachers Union Line in Race for Chicago Mayor?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Rahm Emanuel is not the union’s favorite man. He has had union detractors since his days pushing the North American Free Trade Act (NAFTA) during the Clinton administration. Since then there have been other clashes between Emanuel and unions even as he served President Obama as his Chief of Staff. Now, as he takes after […]

 

Want to See Some Hate From America’s Left-Democrats?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is filled with vitriol and hate. The American left despises anyone that disagrees with them. The American left hates the Constitution because it stands in its way to remake America in its own image. The American left practices the politics of personal destruction. The American left has called for rioting, murder, and has […]

 

Treehugger: Can We Now Tone Down The Anti-AGW Rhetoric?

Posted on by William Teach

Of course, their premise is that we should have more civility in the green debate, otherwise, OMG, THE WORLD IS GOING TO BURN!!!!!!11!!!!!!! we won’t be able to have a proper debate THE ARCTIC IS GOING TO BE ICE FREE IN 1,000 YEARS and decide what proper legislation BUILD SOLAR PLANTS FOR GAIA!!!! to pass, […]

 

Apparently, The Real Culprit In The Giffords Shooting Was…..Guns!

Posted on by William Teach

Now that we are a few days from the shooting of Representative Giffords, and the cold blooded murder of many others, including a judge and a 9 year old, the media and Democrats are slowly ratcheting up the meme that guns are to blame. They haven’t dropped their fixation on “vitriolic speech”…….you know, all the […]

 

Yes, We’re Putting Liberals In The Crosshairs

Posted on by John Hawkins

The Left can take their sanctimonious, politically correct, hypocritical horseflop about militaristic language being applied to politics and they can turn it sideways and shove it straight up their candy asses. Here at Right Wing News, where our slogan is “Kneecapping Barack Obama at every opportunity,” not only are we targeting liberal politicians for defeat, […]

 

Pima County Sheriff Jeopardizes Prosecution of Loughner and Must Resign Now

Posted on by Jane Jamison

Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has blathered in radio, television, and newspaper interviews non-stop since Saturday’s massacre in his county. He cannot possibly be doing his job to properly and thoroughly investigate the tragic loss of life on his watch in Pima County, Arizona.

 

The Left Escalates Blame Game Over Arizona Shooting

Posted on by Donald Douglas

This is really amazing. Sheriff Clarence Dupnik doubles down: “Arizona Sheriff Blasts Rush Limbaugh for Spewing ‘Irresponsible’ Vitriol.” (Via Memeorandum.) And at Pat Dollard, “Leftist Tucson Sheriff Tries to Gain Political Profit From Blood of Dead Victims.” Contrast that to the measured reason of Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu: See also, Andrew Klavan, “The Hateful […]

 

Nonsensical Attempt to Tie Loughner to Conservatives Is Deliberate Strategy

Posted on by Dave Blount

To the extent Jared Loughner’s psychotic views have any political coherence, they are decidedly left wing. Yet liberals have raised a deafening chorus attempting to blame conservatives for the incomprehensible horrors he inflicted. This may be a reflexive reaction by truly unhinged moonbats like Hanoi Jane Fonda and Clarence Dupnik, who can be counted on […]

 

Hanoi Jane Pins Tucson Shootings on Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Tea Party

Posted on by Dave Blount

Jane Fonda — who traveled to North Vietnam during the war to propagandize against our troops and to pose cheerfully with the sort of anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down our pilots — still hasn’t finished making her contributions to American politics. The tragic events in Tucson Saturday were yet another opportunity for her to […]
