Oh, Lindsey, Lindsey, what in the name of all that’s holy are you talking about? On four occasions, [South Carolina Senator Lindsey] Graham met with Tea Party groups. The first, in his Senate office, was “very, very contentious,” he recalled. During a later meeting, in Charleston, Graham said he challenged them: “ ‘What do you […]

 

I’ve Had Enough of the “Tea Bagger” Slur, Haven’t You?

Mark Knoller, the award-winning White House correspondent for CBS News, was in Washington today covering the President’s attempt to rally Democrats to pass his government-run health care plan.

Were I a Soldier Right Now, I’d Be A Little Worried

At least “don’t ask; don’t tell” opponents can take solace that they’re not last on the Presidential priority list. That position is reserved for General Stanley McChrystal.

AstroTurfing: What It Is and What It Isn’t.

I’ve noticed there seems to be some confusion in the MSM and elsewhere about the meaning of the word “AstroTurf” when used to describe the town hall meeting protests we’ve been seeing the past couple weeks.

If That’s AstroTurfing, They’re Doing it Wrong!

If the pharmaceutical companies have been paying protesters to come out against Obamacare, as the President and his Democratic buddies sorely want us to believe, then they’re doing something very wrong.
