The Left’s New Civil-sorship

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Let’s be civil, OK? I mean, let’s tone it down out there. You people need to rise to a better, more civil discourse. I know this because the entire left wing in America today is telling us this (even as Democrat Steve Cohen is calling anyone that opposes him a Nazi). We need to get […]

 

Yank the Dipstick… Sheriff Dupnik Recall Effort Begins in Pima County

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I was wondering how long this would take, but apparently my wait is over. A recall petition to oust Clarence Dupnik, the partisan, leaky-mouthed Sherif of Pima County, Arizona, is finally underway.

UPDATED: Ariz. Shooting Victim Issues Death Threat to Tea Party Chief

Slate Plays Loose With Facts Over Concealed Carrier’s Arizona Actions

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Contrary to Senator Moynihan’s proclamation, Slate’s William Saletan thinks he’s entitled to his own facts. If not his own facts, then his own version of history at any rate.

Union Boss With History of Violence Decries Vitriolic Rhetoric of Right

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 […]

Another Losing Republican Scolds the Nation For Firing Him

Outgoing Republican Representative from South Carolina Bob Inglis is not going off into forced retirement quietly. No, Ol’ Bobby wants us all to know that the nation has failed him.

Shocking: Dave Weigel Doesn’t Get Sarah Palin

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like most leftists, former Washington Post blogger David Weigel just doesn’t get Sarah Palin.

While Weigel thought he understood the “strategy” of Romney’s donations, he admitted that […]

Why Won’t MSNBCs Ed Schultz Interview Republicans? Cuz he is ‘Sick of ‘Em,’ of Course

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

t’s funny how lefties always consider themselves the more “logical,” the more civilized,” and more “adult” side of the argument. Why, they just want to have an adult debate to explain how correct their ideas are, right? Well, they might unless they work for MSNBC, apparently. Especially if they’re Ed Schultz. Ed Schultz, you see, […]

The Old Media is up to its old tricks again, this time making the GOP the fall guy for the failure of the latest immigration bill.

A poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a “project” run out of the University of Maryland, was the toast of the left-wingers last week for its finding that Fox News viewers were the most “misinformed” during the 2010 election cycle.
