Obama Misspells Libya on Twitter Feed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston So, not only has Obama turned a deaf ear to the dozens getting killed in Libya by their own mad dictator, but when the White House Twitter feed finally did decide to discuss the country it spelled the name of the place incorrectly. Seriously, White House? “Lybia”? Sounds like something that […]

 

Defunding Obama’s Union Led Regulatory Army

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You might recall that with great fanfare and the slobberingly positive coverage by the Old Media, President Obama made Reagan-like and claimed that he thought it was time to get rid of the regulations strangling American business. Since that time he’s met with businesses and pretended to suddenly be a pro-business, pro-economic growth president. His […]

 

Wisc. and Ind. Democrats: Union Cash Driving Democrats to Run and Hide

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

With Democrat state legislators in Wisconsin and now Indiana fleeing their states so that they don’t have to do their job — just call them fleebaggers — it would be easy to assume that Democrats are cowards. If not cowards, then petulant children throwing temper tantrums because voters did not give them a power-lock majority. […]

 

Wisconsin Teachers: Putting Kids at Risk

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Why do these teachers hate Wisconsin’s kids? A reader named Tom from Des Moines, Iowa, emailed me and asked some pertinent questions of these recalcitrant teachers. I have asked some of these questions here myself and I have heard a few of them floated on Twitter, Facebook and the radio, but it is good to […]

 

No Truth In Left’s Wisconsin Union Support or Its State Budget Surplus Story

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

First came the disgrace of supposedly intelligent teachers in Wisconsin sporting hundreds of signs calling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker “Hitler” and now comes the entire liberal blogosphere and it’s echo chamber in the left-media establishment claiming that Gov. Walker has “ginned up” a budget shortfall when he actually has a budget surplus. One wonders when […]

 

PBS Sends Belated Valentine to MoveOn.org

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On February 18, our taxpayer-subsidized entertainers at PBS gave a little shoutout to one of their most stout supporters. On its Twitter feed on Friday, PBS heartily thanked the extremist left-wing activist group Moveon.org for its support in helping the broadcaster push for greater amounts of money from the pockets of the taxpayers and continue […]

 

Hooray! NY Times Says Obama White House Barely Involved With Wisconsin Protests

Posted on by William Teach

File this story under “media ObamaZombies”: Wisconsin Puts Obama Between Competing Desires The battle in Wisconsin over public employee unions has left President Obama facing a tricky balance between showing solidarity with longtime political supporters and projecting a message in favor of deep spending cuts to reduce the debt. Really? Well, it would have been […]

 

So They Called Him Hitler, So What? Grow Up, The Both of You!

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

You know, I am about sick to death of this childish back and forth between the unhinged left and the oh-so-outraged right on the name calling issue, especially where it concerns the use of the name of humanity’s most evil villain, Hitler. Yeah, they said (put latest politician here) is Hitler. But so what? Let’s […]

 

Palin Gives Time A Few Minutes of Her Time About Its False ‘Reporting’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The media is so sure that only the worst about Palin could possibly be true that false stories, out right lies, and even comedy bits are constantly presented as actual news. Time Magazine is the latest to fall into that trap by reporting a satirical Internet posting about Sarah Palin as hard news. It all […]

 

Senator Jim Webb: The Hypocrisy at the Core of the Democrat Party

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Virginia’s Junior Senator, Jim Webb, is already hanging up his senatorial career. One term was enough for the so-called moderate Virginia Democrat. He’s announced that he will not run for reelection. But the fact that he got elected at all shows the essential hypocrisy at the heart of the Democrat Party. Webb, you see, is […]

 

Now THERE’S Chutzpah: Obama Claims He hasn’t Raised Taxes?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

John Kartch over at Americans for Tax Reform found President Obama’s claim that he hasn’t raised taxes a bit, shall we say, quixotic. At one point in the interview with Obama conducted by Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly and shown on Sunday, Obama stated bald faced that he didn’t do so. The truth seems to be […]

 

Rachel Maddow’s Reason For Being Duped by Satire Website: It’s Conservatives Fault

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember when you were a kid and you got caught doing something you shouldn’t have been doing? Remember when you were confronted with your wrong doing that your first response was to blame everyone else? Well, that is very common for a child… or for a liberal, apparently. At least it is for MSNBC’s left-wing […]

 

Video: President Obama, You’re No Ronald Reagan

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

This past week, Time magazine wrote an extremely dishonest column comparing Barack Obama to Ronald Reagan. In fact, Michael Sherer, one of the column’s co-authors, claimed on Hardball that Obama has always seen Reagan as a model, even though Sherer admitted in his column that “Reagan would come to epitomize all that Obama opposed”. That […]

 

Jim DeMint…. A Squish?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

David Weigel’s recent Slate piece on Jim DeMint (R, SC) is a perfect example of a gentle leftwing undertone sprinkled into a story like seasoning salt in order to gently spin a story to negatively effect conservatives, or at the very least to artificially heighten tensions in order to make it seem as if conservatives […]

 

A Snap Shot of Congressional Arrogance

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

POLITICO posted a piece last week that shows the arrogance of our duly elected Senators in Washington D.C. After reading this piece, one gets the impression that this good old boys club is not only one that not just anyone is allowed to join but one that finds itself beyond even the voters that put […]

 

The Left’s Lying Liars Trying to Smear Michelle Bachmann’s Tea Party Response

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left’s latest unfair, false, and downright scurrilous attack on Michelle Bachmann focuses on her Tea Party response video aired after President Obama’s State of the Union speech last week. I am a bit late to this story, I realize, but I wanted to get it aired here regardless. The left’s claim is that Michelle […]

 

Amazing: NPRs Out Of Context Use of Renew America Quote

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Russ J. Alan is a writer whose work often appears on the website RenewAmerica.com, a news/opinion site started several years ago by Alan Keyes. Alan’s latest column is about the mess that is Social Security and a quote from his piece was posted on National Public Radio’s website under the rubric of quotes on Iraq. […]

 

Four Questions For Valley Girl, Uh I Mean Pundit, Meghan McCain About Michele Bachmann’s Speech

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

Tuesday night, President Obama gave his State of the Union Address. Then afterward, Republican Congressman Paul Ryan gave the official GOP response to the president’s SOTU address, and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann gave the unofficial Tea Party response. Most in the political world expected fireworks from Ms. Bachmann’s response, but, in the end, her speech proved […]

 

Politico: “Right Takes Refuge In Constitution”

Posted on by William Teach

Perhaps it’s all the years reading and listening to Liberals/progressives/surrender monkeys, as the headline almost seems like the Politico means that as a bad or stupid thing. I get the same feeling from the article The federal lawsuits against last year’s health care overhaul were greeted with eye-rolling and snickers from many conventional legal scholars. […]

 

Unions Realizing They Have Bad Reputation, Launch PR Campaign

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

So, what is the first thing that you do when you find out that everyone hates you? What do you do when you finally come to terms with the fact that you have the worst reputation possible? Do you sit yourself down and reassess your actions to try and pinpoint why everyone thinks you are […]

 

Mainstream media “crickets” chirping? Anchorage police say Todd Palin NOT involved with hooker

Posted on by Jane Jamison

While all the nation fixated on President Obama’s State of the Union address, the Anchorage police department was doing some truth-telling and some SLAM-DUNKING of a recent report by the National Enquirer that there was “police evidence” that Todd Palin was involved with an Anchorage prostitute ring during the 2008 presidential campaign.:  Scroll down for […]

 

One of Obama’s Biggest Donors Now His ‘Economics Adviser’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Last week President Obama appointed the CEO of General Electric, Jeffery Immelt, to head up his Economic Advisory Board. This is, as Freedomworks’ Tabitha Hale wrote, “an obvious rent seeking arrangement between Big Government and Big Business.” This could not have been a more clear product of a crony corporatist relationship, and it is one […]

 

Movie: For Overseas Distribution ‘Captain America’ Won’t Be Captain America

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The venerable Marvel comic book character Captain America has been, well, “Captain America” since 1941. But as of the 2011 release of the new movie “Captain America: The First Avenger,” he won’t be Captain American anymore. At least as far as the film’s title overseas goes, anyway. Apparently, Hollywood thinks a character called “Captain America” […]

 

Amanpour Fails to Understand History, Says Political Climate Just Like the 1960s

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The inch deep analysis that we get from the illiterati in the left-media shows that they have agendas, sure, but no grasp of history, logic, or facts. No better example of the facile nature of the Old Media can be had than Christiane Amanpour and on ABC News she strutted her imbecilic excuse for historical […]

 

Leftists Use Crosshairs to Attack Walmart Over Unionization

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember that “new tone” the left keeps talking about? Remember how they went ape-nuts over Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs symbols on her electoral campaign map? That was “violent,” the left claimed. That was lowering the level of debate, they chirped. It was evil, they slobbered. Well, I guess the left isn’t too upset at […]

 

Chicago Media Ignores African-American Rally Against Same-Sex Marriage

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that a rally held by a coalition of Chicago-area black pastors that gathered to warn Illinois against same-sex marriage and civil unions was ignored by the Old Media in Chicago. Still, as unsurprising as it it, it’s a bit galling that this event went unreported on. The Illinois Family […]
