VIDEO — Fleebagging TV: Democrat Walks Off TV Show

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Here we have a whiner Democrat that can’t take the heat of a TV cable show… and hasn’t two neurons to rub together. You know… a typical Democrat. I love how Ed Morrissey explained how Democrats like this twerp work… Step 1: Declare that the Republican plan will kill people Step 2: Denounce demagoguery Step […]

 

Obama’s New ‘Truth Minister’ Husband of ‘General Betray Us’ MoveOn.Orger

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

This week President Obama revealed his latest attempt to control the media, the Internet, and the information revealed to the people of the United States by creating a new “press” office of sorts, an Obama ministry of truth, if you will. Obama’s grandiose name for this new office is the Progressive Media & Online Response […]

 

Obama White House Bans Newspaper For Printing a Mitt Romney Op Ed

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Apparently the Obama White House is not so fond of the Boston Herald. Well, maybe “not so fond” is too mild. More like furious. So mad, in fact, that the paper was banned by the White House from covering local visits by Obama and crew. The Boston Herald said “pretty please” and Big Brother O’s […]

 

Political Candidates Ignore Social Media at their Peril

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

Political campaigns are gearing up for the 2012 elections and candidates are wondering how much in resources they should allocate to social media. Many campaigns rely on volunteers or scarcely devote any resources to social media. Even though Obama’s defeat of John McCain in the 2008 presidential election was partly due to Obama deeply: integrating digital […]

 

Sen. Dick Durbin Caused ‘Gang of 6’ Talks to Fall Apart

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

From a gang of six to a gang of Dicks, Durbin torpedoes compromise once again The “gang of six” is a group of senators who had taken it upon themselves to come to some sort of agreement over the competing budget ideas between Republicans and Democrats. It was hoped that these six senators could find […]

 

George Soros Is Spending Fortune to Drive News Media Further Left

Posted on by Dave Blount

If you think the journalism establishment is left-wing now, wait until the seeds sinister ultra-left financier George Soros has been planting begin to flower. Since 2003, Soros has spent more than $48 million funding media properties, including the infrastructure of news — journalism schools, investigative journalism and even industry organizations. And that number is an […]

 

Children’s Book Publisher Collapses to Radical Environmentalist Pressure

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Extremist environmentalists have won yet another victory for propagandizing our children in schools by forcing Scholastic Books to junk a proposed energy-themed classroom education packet that treated the subject in a more even handed mode in favor of a program that only pushes extremist enviro policies. Yes, once again, the hard-core, anti-capitalist left has won […]

 

Boston Herald Shut Out by Obama Regime for Running Romney Op-Ed

Posted on by Dave Blount

As promised, the Obama Administration is the most transparent in history — if you define transparency as opacity to those who don’t realize that, as Chris Matthews would say, it’s the media’s job to make this presidency a success. Let the Boston Herald be an example to those not content to be lapdogs: The White […]

 

Slate: Proving Once Again Why Leftists Don’t ‘Get’ Radical Islam

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

… and Why Liberals are Our Weak Spot For the online, left-wing magazine Slate, William Saletan thinks he’s found something that will damage Osama bin Ladden’s reputation in the Islamic world. But what he thinks is such a big deal proves that he doesn’t understand radical Islam or even the Muslim world. Worse, it proves […]

 

Andrew Breitbart: a true happy warrior who wants to inspire an Army of Davids

Posted on by Bookworm

Last night, after Andrew Breitbart had already left to catch his plane, a few of us hung around to chat and to try to answer one question: what was the takeaway from Breitbart’s talk? Eat their eyeballs? Women’s dominance in the Tea Party means that men are eunuchs? The fact that the Tea Party needs […]

 

Newt’s Tuesday Blogger Conference Call

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I just finished with a blogger conference call held by Speaker Gingrich in which he tried to further explain where he stands on Paul Ryan, the budget, and Obamacare. Newt has have been characterized as “trashing Paul Ryan,” and Ryan himself took a swipe at him on a Chicago radio show (Ryan said something like, […]

 

The Enquirer Tackles Bin Laden: Rape, Pot, And Sex Slaves.

Posted on by John Hawkins

The print version of the Enquirer has a scandalous new story out about Osama Bin Laden. The piece features quotes from ex-wives and mistresses talking about his private life and it’s quite twisted. Everything from paranoia, to Bin Laden’s terrible fear of American soldiers, to his sexual perversity is discussed in the piece and normally, […]

 

AP Tars Tea Party Movement as ‘Grandfathered’ By Ron Paul

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a story by Jay Root for the Associated Press, the news wire service tries to tar the entire Tea Party movement with guilt by association claiming that it was somehow fathered or “grandfathered” by Texas Representative Ron Paul, the cranky uncle of the GOP. The fact is Ron Paul had nothing at all to […]

 

Old Media Ninnies Alert: German Newscast Displays Star Trek Logo as Seal Team 6 Patch

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Steve Gill* found an amusing little story. Apparently a German television news show had a report on Seal Team 6, the group responsible for taking down Osama bin Ladden, and the TV folks meant to show the military patch of the Seals on-air. But instead of showing Seal Team 6’s actual arm patch, the morons […]

 

Wash Post’s Cohen: GOP Should Compromise… Like They Did With Slavery?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Richard Cohen is what passes for an opinion editorialist in the Washington Post — not a learned one, just a bloviating one. Cohen’s latest, “The Myth of American Exceptionalism,” is at the same time as self-loathing as it is historically stupid. Not only does this nonsense Cohen ladled out upon us all serve an example […]

 

Obama Regime Stonewalls Investigation Into Gun Running Outrage

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “mainstream” media has been trying to suppress the story; but then, it initially tried to suppress Monica Lewinsky too. In the age of the Internet, nothing as explosive as the federal government attempting to cover up a program to undercut the Second Amendment by facilitating the illegal traffic of American guns into the hands […]

 

President Obama’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft

Posted on by Bookworm

My husband insisted last night that we watch BHO’s 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft — and then promptly fell asleep because, as he later said, “that was really dull.” My husband was right. I managed to stay awake, but it was an effort. This was my takeaway from the great orator’s talk: We, uh, […]

 

Rebutting Jesse Kornbluth’s rebuttal re his original Andrew Sullivan article

Posted on by Bookworm

Jesse Kornbluth, whom I took to task for his Sullivan hagiography, has responded to my rebuttal to his defense of that same hagiography. True to my lawyer’s credo, I’m trying here to have the last word, although I certainly don’t mean to preempt Kornbluth from doing the same, if he is so inclined. As I […]

 

Cringing Liberal Throws Wet Blanket on bin Laden Celebrations

Posted on by Dave Blount

Liberals didn’t like all the flags that spontaneously appeared after 9/11. Now that Osama bin Laden has finally gotten what he had coming, they aren’t liking the patriotic celebrations. WaPo’s Petula Dvorak sanctimoniously gripes about displays of national joy, which she denounces as “vulgar”: When I saw that folks were celebrating in the streets at […]

 

A rebuttal to Jesse Kornbluth on the subject of Andrew Sullivan

Posted on by Bookworm

I wrote a post taking Harvard grad Jesse Kornbluth (class of ’68) to task for his carelessly flattering portrayal of “journalist” and blogger Andrew Sullivan. It’s fine to like Sullivan, although I would question a person’s judgment in doing so. What bothered me was that Kornbluth failed to discover that Sullivan has taken a fair […]

 

DC Comics Turns Superman Against the USA

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Superman has just flipped the United States of America a super powered middle finger. In an upcoming issue of Action Comics, DC Comics is to have Superman appear before the United Nations to renounce his American citizenship. “Truth, justice, and the American way is not enough anymore,” Superman tells us. Screw you, America. In a […]

 

Totalitarian revolutions always end up eating their own

Posted on by Bookworm

One of the hallmarks of the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Nazi Revolution (because, although the ballot was used in 1932, it was a revolution), the Hussein Iraq takeover (which was also a form of revolution), and other totalitarian takeovers is that the paranoid leadership style inherent in totalitarianism invariably means that the revolution […]

 

Telling Us Who They Fear: Left-Wing Journo Attacks Rep. Allen West

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Brandon K. Thorp, a gay activist from the alternative weekly Broward-Palm Beach New Times newspaper, is only the latest left-winger to launch into a verbal assault on Lt. Col. Allen West, now a Representative from Florida’s 22nd District. Like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman, Rep. West is one of the many conservatives that leftists fear […]

 

Harvard Magazine and the Left’s Andrew Sullivan love affair

Posted on by Bookworm

Speaking of Harvard, I just got a gander at Harvard Magazine, which has a smugly grinning Andrew Sullivan on the cover, as the exemplar of “The New Media.” I thought the article would be about bloggers generally, but the table of contents tells me I’m wrong: “World’s Best Blogger?” it asks. It then explains that […]

 

Apple Tracks Our Every Move — Blacks, Hispanics Suffer Most

Posted on by Dave Blount

It’s bad enough if Apple is violating our privacy by tracking our movements with its iPhone. But what’s far worse is that this constitutes racism: Friday on MSNBC’s daytime programming, host Thomas Roberts explained that in the wake of revelations the iPhone tracks your movements with its operating software, minorities, specifically blacks and Latinos are […]

 

The Mainstream Media Finally Investigates Birther Allegations

Posted on by John Hawkins

The mainstream media SHOULD have been doing thorough reports on Obama’s birth certificate when he was running for President. The question was already in the air at the time and there was a lot less known about the issue than there is today. Honestly, I think a lot of news services avoided the issue because […]

 

TIME Mag Does Not Know What ‘Influential’ Means with Top 100 Most Influential People

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Like all too many Americans TIME Magazine proves that it doesn’t know what is worth celebrating, noting, or memorializing in this world. Time doesn’t know what “important” means, it doesn’t know what “influential” means, it doesn’t even know what “top” means. And it has proven this again with its latest “2011 TIME 100 most influential […]

 

Left Laments Ryan’s GOP Budget NOT Raising America’s Ire

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The left is desperate to color Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s GOP budget plan (The Path to Prosperity, as it is styled) as the end of America, crazed to call his plan a killer of old people, and maniacal about saying that the GOP and Ryan want to destroy the country by asking for a few […]
