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 […]

 

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 […]

 

Sorry Casey Brezik, the Media Doesn’t Cover Your Kind

Posted on by Dave Blount

The “mainstream” media must have tired itself out reinventing Jared Loughner as a Tea Party conservative. They didn’t even bother trying to make Casey Brezik fit the template; instead they simply ignored it when he slashed the throat of a dean thinking it was the Governor of Missouri. Via American Thinker: In September 2010 Missouri […]

 

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 […]

 

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. Dipstick… er, I mean Dupnik, is now infamous for instantly blaming Fox News, Sarah Palin, the Tea Party and all conservatives for the […]

 

Video: What The Heck Happened to the Anti-War Movement?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Remember those hoary days of raucous protest when anti-war protesters sent thousands of people into the streets sometimes with only a days notice? Now consider this: have you seen any of these giant protests since 2008 presidential election? Yeah, no one else has, either. Do you wonder why that is? Well, it’s because the anti-war […]

 

Newspaper Ignores Facts in Teacher’s ‘Vagina Dance’ Song Controversy

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It isn’t just national issues that the Old Media misreports. As we focus on the “big” stories of the day, we often overlook the local scene and the left-wing excuse for “reporting,” therefrom. This is a perfect example of that. Imagine you are a sophomore in high school and your sex ed teacher forces you […]

 

Obama’s Labor Dept: If You Let Girl Scouts Sell Cookies, You HAVE to Let Unions Come in Too

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Everyone loves Girl Scout cookies, right? What could be more American? It’s a right of passage for many young girls to set up a folding table in front of a local business and sell their little cookies and what American doesn’t get a warm feeling in their heart when they see those peppy little ones […]

 

Time Magazine Passes Off Pro-Terrorist Freedom Flotilla Stunt as Historic Naval Battle

Posted on by Dave Blount

According to the moonbats rewriting history for Time magazine, the sinking of the Lusitania, which helped bring the USA into World War I, does not qualify as one of the all-time top 10 clashes at sea. Neither does the sinking of the Bismarck, which was key to establishing Allied naval superiority in World War II. […]

 

‘Historian’ Douglas Brinkley: Obama ‘Like’ Martin Luther King

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Radio talker Rush Limbaugh got in dutch with Fox News commentator Charles Krauthammer for saying that Obama supporters were “slobbering” over his address at the pep rally/memorial sponsored by the University of Arizona for those fallen in the Arizona shooting. But “slobbering” is nothing compared to historian Douglas Brinkley’s hyperbolic praise. Brinkley absurdly said that […]

 

Ex-Black Panther, Current Politician Bobby Rush Uses MLK, Giffords to Call for Gun Control

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Bobby Rush always did have a lot of stones. He went from being an outlaw and criminal member of the Black Panthers in Chicago to being a legitimate, elected Congressman from the self-same city. Now Rush is hiding behind both the crime in Arizona and Martin Luther Kin, Jr. in order to push his anti-constitutional […]

 

4 Reasons Why the MSM Botched the Tuscon Massacre, and Why they Owe the Victims and Sarah Palin an Apology

Posted on by Susannah Fleetwood

[H/T Toby Toons for the image.] This past week in the wake of the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords by Jared Lee Loughner (that killed six people and wounded nine others–including the congresswoman), the mainstream/liberal media instantly pounced on “the violent rhetoric” by Sarah Palin and the Tea Party as the cause of Loughner’s mad […]

 

Miss America 2011 Slams WikiLeaks as ‘Espionage’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The new Miss America Pageant winner, Cornhusker Teresa Scanlan, wowed judges with her black bikini, her piano playing, and her silky blond hair. She’s the youngest winner ever at 17, her theme this year was eating disorders, and she also criticized WikiLeaks as “espionage.” Scanlon said that she wanted to become a lawyer because she […]

 

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

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

UPDATE BELOW…One would think that once you were the collateral damage of an assassination attempt, you’d be much less apt to be issuing death threats of your own to people. Sadly, shooting victim J. Eric Fuller was not so sensitive as one might think his experience would make him. At a townhall meeting Saturday, an […]

 

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. Anti-Second Amendment Saletan dreamed up his own little set of incidents and actions in order to castigate pro-Second Amendment supporters by claiming that something that didn’t […]

 

MSNBC Exonerates Jared Loughner

Posted on by Dave Blount

Jared Loughner almost certainly had never heard of Sarah Palin back in 2007 when he first developed the psychotic fixation on Gabrielle Giffords that climaxed in mass murder. He did not follow the news, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he was motivated in any way by any conservative. But that’s not going to […]
