Frank Rich: Obama’s Just Like JFK Because JFK Was Killed With Hate, or Something

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s hard to believe but Frank Rich’s latest exercise in the fantasist’s art comparing JFK to Obama is a wonder to behold. It really is. One might think it satire if Rich had never been presented as a serious essayist by the New York intelligentsia. If this were to be his first public writing, one […]

 

Washington Post: Hey, Why Is Occupy So Darned Whitebread?

Posted on by William Teach

The Washington Post’s headline is actually Why blacks aren’t embracing Occupy Wall, but, it might as well have asked why the Occupiers are 98.4% pale faces Occupy Wall Street might seem like a movement that would resonate with black Americans. After all, unemployment among African Americans is at 15 percent, vs. almost 8 percent for […]

 

Did Ezra Klein Prove that Journalism Just Another Arm of the Democrat Party?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Fishbowl DC has a startling report that seriously brings into doubt the independence and veracity of the journalistic arts. It seems that the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein appeared as a speaker at a closed door session of a gathering of Senate Democrat Chiefs of Staff last week, a move that, as Betsy Rothstein correctly notes, […]

 

There Isn’t More Political ‘Polarization,’ There’s More Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Ron Fournier of the National Journal has committed the same mistake in political analysis that far too many others on both sides of the aisle make. He thinks, like many do, that there is somehow more “polarization” in Washington today than ever. Like all the others, he’s wrong. There isn’t any more than there’s ever […]

 

Hypocrisy: Left Wants SCOTUS Justice Thomas Recusal, Ignores Kagan’s Clear Conflicts

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This past weekend the Washington Post published a hit piece on the grand opening of a museum in Georgia dedicated to the birthplace of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

William “Bill” Randall is running for Congress out of the North Carolina 13th. Randall, an African American, experienced what must be called a hate crime in the left’s vernacular.

Actor Ruffalo Wants Obama to Turn Army Corps of Engineers Political

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Mark Ruffalo — you know, the millionaire actor that claims to be part of the 99% — may not be a scientist. But he plays one on mass emailings from left-wing advocacy groups. And with that activism Ruffalo is urging President Obama to turn the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from a science-based service to […]

 

Politico Misstates Concealed Carry Law Claims it Violates State’s Laws

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently Politico does not like the new concealed-carry reciprocity law recently passed in Congress. They must not like it. After all, aside from covering it in a negative light, the newser so badly misstated the law that it could easily turn its readers against the whole idea. But perhaps that’s the idea? The law, the […]

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In her exclusive interview with Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D, AZ), ABCs Diane Sawyer began with a retrospective of the terrible crime committed against the Congresswoman by a mentally disturbed, a-political gunman.

Grammy Nominee’s Occupy Wall Street Theme Song Features Bloodlust, Violent Imagery

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

While denizens of Hollywood are running around praising the Occupy-Whatevers as an articulate, non-violent example of “democracy in action” and adopting the Occupy rhetoric, a new anthem of sorts has been unveiled to inspire these “non-violent” folks to greater activism. But, for a “non-violent” movement, their new theme song (running nearly nine minutes long) is […]

 

ENOUGH of GOP ‘Debates’ Where Mediots Show Us How Tough They Are

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In the upcoming Republican primary I am not voting for Brian Williams, Brett Baier, Scott Pelly, Wolf Blitzer or any other member of the Old Media.

Herman Cain’s “progressive” Lynching

Multiple unspecified claims of sexual harassment from anonymous sources. Just what a presidential candidate like Herman Cain needs to brighten his day.

MSNBC Discusses North Carolina’s Forced Sterilization Program, Avoids Mentioning The D Word

Posted on by William Teach

What happened in North Carolina, and 37 other states, was a travesty. I’ve mentioned it before. Forced sterilization of Blacks, the poor, “defectives”. Brian Williams, with his new “Rock Center” program, delves into the issue. After bringing the human interest part to the story, we get North Carolina was one of 31 states to have […]

 

Occupy LA Video: ‘Get Rid of America and Everything it Stands For’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Occupy Whatever movement — if it can be called a movement — is at its heart a hate-America movement. With each new video we see this more and more and this cretin at Occupy Los Angeles is just one more example. An avowed communist, like so many of these people are, he feels that […]

 

Vanity Fair Compares Herman Cain to ‘Sociopathic’ Movie Character

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Juli Weiner of Vanity Fair may have thought she was being “clever” with her Nov. 1 blog post, but instead she looks by turns blindly partisan, foolish, ignorant of facts, childish, and lacking even a tiny bit of knowledge about men’s headwear when she compared Herman Cain to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff as well a […]

 

Let the Children Vote? What Lunacy From Think Progress?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Matt Yglesias of Think Progress apparently feels it’s a good idea for kids to vote in U.S. elections. No, not just 18-year-old kids. All kids regardless of age.

Alter: Obama is ‘Honest’ and ‘Free of Scandal’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

When does a columnist write something so utterly absurd that his credibility is forever damaged? I am not sure how to answer that in general terms, but I think at least one journalist answered the question for his own, now thoroughly destroyed veracity. Jonathan Alter of Bloomberg has written one of the most ridiculous, least […]

 

Did Juan Williams Link Christians to The Oklahoma City Bombing?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In his recent assessment of his year since he was unceremoniously — and illicitly in many folks’ estimation — fired by NPR, Juan Williams indulged one of those fallacious left-wing assumptions that just screams left-wing spin. It is the sort of straw man argument that casts aspersions on others, this time against Christians, while pretending […]

 

Obama Broken Promises: From ‘No Lobbyists in My Campaign,’ to Hiring Financial Services Lobbyist

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Barack Obama made a big show in 2008 of attacking evil Washington lobbyists. He campaigned on “change we could believe in” and aimed one of those things to believe in at eliminating lobbyists from Washington. But, it’s just another lie from Obama, in the end. Obama cruised into office with the claim that he’d have […]

 

Media Tries to Make Rick Perry a Birther

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left-wing media’s newest attack on Rick Perry is an attempt to make him into a “birther” — one of those folks that think Barack Obama is not a natural born American, a requirement to become our president.

Occupy Chicago Sign: ‘Dear Rich Straight White Dudes, F**K Off’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like the rest of the large cities in the US, Chicago is currently suffering with small pockets of Occupy protesters and their ever-present signs.

But one thing […]

 

Bi-Racial Tea Party Group Harassed by GA Capitol Police, Occupy Wall Streeters Given Pass to Break Laws

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

There has been a lot of talk comparing and contrasting the Tea Partiers and these Occupy-Whatever people. But in Georgia we can see a stark difference.

Politico Tries to Smear Herman Cain With Bad Pizza

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Politico unleashed an incredibly misleading smear job on Herman Cain this week by attacking “his” Godfather’s Pizza in a faux taste test in both written and video form.

Why Isn’t Obama’s Teacher Lie National News?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

During the latest campaign appearance disguised as a presidential press conference, President Obama uttered one straight out lie that stands out above the rest of them.
