At the Smirking Chimp website, you’ll generally find articles that range from the ridiculous to the obnoxious — at least that’s what normal people would think of them. Liberals on the other hand, seem to eat that sort of thing up judging by how popular the website has become. Still, just to give you an […]

If you ask me, this excerpt from an interview with George Soros is a little bit creepy and cold blooded, especially coming from a guy who could just as well have been a target of the Nazi death squads instead of making money off of them. Steve Kroft: And you watched lots of people get […]

A pic of Tennessee Senate Candidate Bob Corker’s daughter kissing another girl at a party has now turned up, via Wonkette. Does this fit into the McCarthesque outing campaign the left has engaged in during this campaign season? Yes. Does it also fall into the “politics of personal destruction” that the left now regularly uses […]

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” — John Kerry

As usual, Bill Maher is all class. Here’s Maher in a Steve Irwin costume that he wore to a Halloween Party this week-end: If the South Park episode that tackled this subject was inappropriate, this is like inappropriate squared. Even someone as crass and insensitive as Bill Maher should know better than this. Hat tip […]

We’re one week out from the launch of the first Googlebomb, so I thought it would be a good time to take note of how effective it’s been. Here are the results so far: Googlebomb #1 on Oct 23, 2006 (35 of 45 links in the top 30) Steve Kagen #2 Zack Space #3 Phil […]

As regular readers of RWN know, I’ve been pessimistic about the GOP’s chances of holding the House. In fact, last week, I said the GOP would lose between 18-28 seats if the election were held on that day. However, the wind has finally started to shift back in the GOP’s favor. The Fence bill has […]

Way back in the day, I made fun of racist wackjob Hal Turner for speculating that 9/11 was an inside job. Well, it seems Turner has gotten back in the news again for telling his readers that “If you re-elect the same people who have gotten us into the mess we’re in, folks like me […]

Liberals love to accuse conservatives of racism, but as a general rule, liberals tend to be some of the most racially insensitive people you’ll ever come across. They’ve thrown Oreos at Michael Steele, photoshopped Joe Lieberman in blackface, called black Republicans Uncle Toms and House Slaves, and they called Marvin Stewart, a black member of […]

“…(W)ith the first baby boomers becoming eligible for Social Security in 2008 and for Medicare in 2011, the expenses of those two programs are about to increase dramatically due to demographic pressures. People are also living longer, which makes any program that provides benefits to retirees more expensive. Medicare already costs four times as much […]

“I’d never realized how much of a death cult Christianity is. When we weren’t fixating on how awesome Christ’s murder was, we were singing about how terrific it was going to be when we bite it. Chipper up, Christians! There’s a lot to live for. They’re making more of those ‘Narnia’ movies.” —

Question: Hi John, What’s your take on the signing of the Border Fence bill? Is it a baby step or is it by-and-large a result of the failure of congressional and presidential leadership? Thank You! by CliffHanger Answer: Would it have been great to see the entire House Bill signed into law? Yes. But still, […]

Earlier today, I was on a teleconference with Mike Bouchard, the Rightroots endorsed candidate for the Senate. Here are the notes (not quotes) from the teleconference: Bouchard pointed out that Stabenow wants higher taxes, more regulations, and wants to thwart tort reform. She tries to say that the economy in Michigan is Bush’s fault, but […]

Question: Many, if not most of the articles and comments here on RWN are to complain about the liberal Democrats. About how much better life would be without them in the political process, since they are so destructive to America. But what is the alternative? A one-party system with nothing but Republicans running everything? I’ve […]

The South Park episode last night was kind of weird and trippy. Long story short, Satan was having a Halloween Party on earth and all sorts of dead celebrities were attending. One of those celebrities was, unfortunately, Steve Irwin. The Daily Mail wrote about it, Drudge picked it up, and now it’s big news. So, […]

Question: “The same question that John J. Miller posed at The Corner: The DC metro area is home to a pair of close Senate races. If a Republican must win one and a Democrat must win the other, would you prefer to see victories by Jim Webb and Michael Steele or George Allen and Ben […]

ABC News mentioned RWN in the context of discussing political Googlebombs: “On his Web site Bowers writes, “If you have a blog, please take this action. It will exponentially increase the effectiveness of this campaign. And make sure you keep using the same link whenever you talk about that person on your blog, in the […]

Question: “Rudy Giuliani and John McCain regularly place first and second in virtually every poll done for 2008 GOP nomination. You’ve made it clear that you’re not thrilled with either of them, but if it came down to primary season and they were the only two serious competitors, in a tight race, who would you […]

Question: “IF the republicans pull this election out of their backsides, and IF they go back to their ways and do not seriously address immigration and spending. Do you think they will be able to use the “vote for us because the other guys are just awful” excuse again?” — KyleN Answer: This year, given […]
