Kerry needs to catch up in the polls. For that, he’ll need some powerful commercials. There are a few issues he needs to hit, and I think I know how he should do them. First, he needs to settle the controversy about his Vietnam service once and for all: * * * * AD: I […]

Ah, there’s nothing better than watching a mainstream media liberal like Dan Rather sink deeper and deeper into a trap of his own making. That’s right, not only was Dan Rather dumb enough to stand by documents that were obviously forged in Microsoft Word tonight, he was arrogant enough to say that there isn’t even […]

CBS reporter Dan Rather today released the text of a recently discovered email from then-Lt. George W. Bush’s Air National Guard commanding officer which casts more doubt upon the military service of the man who would become the 43rd President of the United States. The revelation of the email comes just hours after questions were […]

There are lots of good reasons to vote for Bush in Nov. He’s serious about fighting terrorism and Kerry isn’t, making the tax cuts permanent, the pro-marriage constitutional Amendment, multiple Supreme Court Justices may be selected by the next President, Social Security Reform, tort reform, etc, etc, etc. But, as an extra added bonus, there […]

The totally non-partisan journalists at “Sixty Minutes” have come up with another totally authentic “smoking gun” memo from George W. Bush’s squadron commander, Col. Jerry Killian, and this one is a blockbuster! Yes, this very credible memo, vetted by experts provided to CBS by the Democratic National Committee, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt […]

Well, well, well, it looks like the “new” 30 year old memos from Bush’s squadron commander, Col. Jerry Killian’s “personal file” that “Sixty Minutes” came up with are fakes! To the best of my knowledge, Power Line originally broke the story and then things picked up from there. Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs pointed […]

Poor, sensitive Rosario Iaconis. It seems that he’s all upset about the new kids pic from Dreamworks, Shark Tale. Just take a look at this column and you’ll see how riled up some people get over kid’s movies featuring cartoon fish… “Shark Tale,” an animated DreamWorks film that glorifies gangsters, celebrates violence and promotes anti-Italian […]

I’m Afraid He’s Suffering from a Severe Form of “Being a Democrat” Democrats are going crazy from the latest poll numbers showing Bush got a huge bounce from the convention and want to slime the president in anyway possible and somehow prop up John F’n Kerry. How can you tell if they’ve completely lost it? […]

Sadly, we’ve finally passed a 1000 deaths in Iraq. That’s certainly tragic, especially for the families and friends of the soldiers who were killed. There is no such thing as “light casualties” to someone who loses a father, a brother, or child in a battle in a foreign land. That being said, if we send […]

On Friday of last week, I sat down with John O’Neill from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth for a 25 minute phone interview. We discussed John Kerry’s first and third Purple Hearts, his Bronze Star, his Senate testimony, Cambodia, Chris Matthews, and several other topics of note. Read and enjoy. (Cont)

My favorite speech excerpts from the Republican National Convention, in order…. Honorable Mentions “And I have met with parents and wives and husbands who have received a folded flag, and said a final goodbye to a soldier they loved. I am awed that so many have used those meetings to say that I am in […]

About. To. Keel. Over. Because. I. Am. So. Tired. Will. Return. From. Vacation. Wed. BIG. INTERVIEW. I. Repeat. BIG. INTERVIEW. Coming. Wednesday. Have a nice Labor Day week-end folks! *** Update #1***: Here’s a list of my advertisers. They’re supporting RWN, so it would be much appreciated if you could support them by taking a […]

Everyone who participated in this, who helped make it happen, who cheers it on as some sort of noble act, deserves to die… “The three-day hostage siege at a school in southern Russia ended in chaos and bloodshed Friday, after witnesses said Chechen militants set off bombs and Russian commandos stormed the building. Hostages fled […]

There was less coverage of the liberal wackos protesting the convention than I had expected this week, in part because the NYC police did a fantastic job of keeping them under control, but also because the mainstream media has undoubtedly figured out by now that putting these nutjob lefties on TV only helps the GOP. […]

The entire primetime hour tonight was taken up with George W. Bush’s speech and it was not wasted time. While W. isn’t a master orator like Reagan, or Clinton who can deliver a superb speech even though he’s reeling off a laundry list of programs, he helped himself tonight. Bush’s speech was issue laden, he […]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Either someone is doing a very bad job of advising John Kerry or he’s buying into that old saw that both parties’ faithful always repeat “We’re just lying there and taking it! We’re not fighting back” and he’s insisting on saying this in his speech tonight… “We all saw the anger and […]

The Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign today announced it will spend $50 million in the next few days on advertising to prove John Forbes Kerry and John Edwards understand the concerns of middle Americans. “We’re regular folks, just like all you ordinary people, and we’re going to burn through $50 million in about week just to prove […]

Zell Miller went on Hardball last night and when Chris Matthews tried to pull his standard operating procedure, Miller stomped a mudhole in his behind and walked it dry while pointing out the incredibly rude & unprofessional way Matthews treated

On Tuesday, the convention featuring a rousing speech by Arnold, followed by a more sedate speech by Laura Bush aimed at women’s voters. Well last night, we had a blistering, no-holds-barred speech by Zell Miller, again followed by Dick Cheney, who touted the domestic agenda, talked up Bush and the importance of the war on […]

On the day that prosecutors dropped charges against basketball star Kobe Bryant, the three major cable news networks announced they would cut back to 12-hours of daily programming. “Without the Kobe show, we just can’t fill 24 hours a day,” said one unnamed programming executive. “I mean you can only run so many Michael Jackson […]

This was RWN’s best month ever for daily uniques, and the best month this year for page views. Right Wing News finished August with 335,225 total pageviews & 202,452 daily unique visitors. Thanks to all the web pages that linked RWN and of course, all the readers for making that possible. I’m going to have […]

I’m not the biggest ah-nold fan in the world, but I have to give him credit for the great speech he gave last night. He was funny, did a good job of talking up W., and it’s always fantastic to hear someone who audaciously points out the obvious: that the United States is a beacon […]

Hat tip to Entropy from Arguing With Myself for pointing this pic out to me and to Flash Bunny for making it. PS: For accidentally self-inflicted wounds that were used to fraudulently acquire medals, see Kerry’s 1st & 3rd Purple Hearts. Here’s some info on those citations, “Former Navy Secretary John Lehman has no idea […]

If you enjoyed the interview I did with Walter Williams and the first year’s worth of quotes that I culled from his columns, then you’ll enjoy this latest set of Walter Williams quotes that I’ve put together. All that wisdom, distilled down into a single page of quotes. Enjoy! (Cont)

The Republicans put on an excellent show tonight, well at least for the last hour and fifteen minutes or so. McCain gave a very solid, sober, yet rousing speech about George Bush, Iraq, and the war on terrorism and the 9/11 tribute followed by Amazing Grace that came after was quite moving. But the clean-up […]

One very strong charge that the Swift Boat Vets for Truth have made that the mainstream media has for the most part refused to follow-up on, is how John Kerry got his first Purple Heart. This is no small matter, not only because the SBVFT are accusing Kerry of fraudulently attaining his Purple Heart, but […]

I had to cut out of work early today and I spent a good portion of the day in bed because I didn’t feel well. Of course, that threw my schedule off, and so the updates will be fewer in number than normal. Furthermore, the lead off article for today, a year of Walter Williams […]
