Violence Soaked AFL-CIO Prez Calls Palin a McCarthyite?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For his Labor Day weekend trick, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka leveled the charge of McCarthyism at former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Video: Who is ‘Extreme’ Again, Mr. Obama?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The National Republican Senatorial Committee put out a good one… It seems beyond question that President Obama and his Party are not in good stead with the American public these three months ahead of the election.

$26.1 Billion Union Bailout Went to States that Didn’t Need it

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in a previous discussion on the Democrats $26.1 billion bailout for unions that Speaker Pelosi pushed through Congress at the last minute this summer, there was no need for the money for the stated purpose of “saving teachers” jobs.

New GOP Video: Deficit of Hope

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

“The American people have seen who is benefiting from Obama’s economy and it isn’t them.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

One of my early blogging assignments was the media bias beat over at Newsbusters, so I became particularly attuned to picking up on how the Old Media toes that “unbiased” journalistic line. Unfortunately, in sometimes subtle ways their rhetoric is geared to smear Republicans in any way possible. Here is a perfect example. Last week […]
