Ezra Klein: ‘This is My Final Finally-ish Final Word on JournoList!!’

“I actually expect this to be my final public comment on the subject.” Famous last words, from JournoList head-henchman Ezra Klein. Now the Boy Wonder’s got another post up attacking — wait for it!! — Tucker Carlson for “smearing” JournoList with omissions and misleading statements and — Oh, the humanity!! So, what better way to […]

 

Roundup on Breitbart and JournoList

Been busy today with a few posts, in reverse chronological order: * “‘Not All Journalists Are Jerks’ – And Then There’s JournoList.” * “Letter From Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson.” * “Shirley Sherrod May Sue for Defamation: ‘Andrew Breitbart Came at Me’.” * “The Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy.” * “Terry Moran on ‘Nightline’ – ‘A Kind of […]

 

Priorities: Obama Calls Shirley Sherrod within HOURS; Meets with BP 2 MONTHS Later

President Obama has his priorities straight, indeed.:  Within hours of Shirley Sherrod asking to speak to Obama, he spoke to her: to express his regret: White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the president expressed his regret, and told Sherrod he hoped she would accept the Agriculture Department’s offer of a new position, saying she could parlay […]

 

Have We Forgotten Everything Martin Luther King Jr. Taught Us?

I got really sad yesterday. Really sad. Writing about politics is never really uplifting, but I don’t like false narratives, and I feel compelled to fight against them. Sometimes I get excited, frustrated, disappointed, or furious. But I rarely get sad. But I was sad. This is why. I was 8 years old in Jackson, […]

 


Note to White House: Stop Obsessing With Fox News

Let’s hope we all learned the lesson we should have from the Sherrod affair (see post below if you aren’t familiar with it). The lesson is that both sides need to stop with the deeming those that disagree with them as “racist.” The left needs to stop trying to paint the Tea Party as racist. […]

 

[UPDATED] Dems Attempt to Blame Shift Oil Spill to Cheney; NYT Has Docs

UPDATE::  Drudge is reporting that the NYT on Thursday will make public confdential documents that provide a detailed look at what happened the night before the oil rig explosion. The Hill : reports: the latest attempt by the Democrats to deflect the outrage of the American people by blame shifting the cause of the Gulf oil spill […]

 


Hillary Accuses Pakistan of Knowing Where Bin Laden Is–Again

Original post at 73wire.com Huh?:  After reporting:  that Hillary promised Pakistan $500 million of additional aid, she turns and accuses someone in the Pakistani government of knowing where Bin Laden is: (video).:  The whole purpose of the aid, according to Hillary is [which has effectively become ‘was,’ as in past tense] to address: Mistrust Earlier, Clinton […]

 

For The People, By The People: Renee Ellmers (NC-2)

Yesterday morning, I had the chance to speak with Renee Ellmers, who is running for Congress against Bob Etheridge (D-NC), he of man-handling those who dare to question him fame. Or, rather, infamy.:  Etheridge is a clear-cut example of the arrogance of those firmly entrenched in Washington, DC, which is what prompted Renee Ellmers to […]

 

An Innocent Woman Gets Caught In The Crossfire Of Playing The Race Card

By now you have probably heard of USDA’s Shirley Sherrod’s video where it appears she is admitting to not helping a white farmer just because he was white. The YouTube clip shows a portion of her March 27 speech at an NAACP banquet. This comes on the heels of the NAACP continuing the false narrative […]

 


‘You’re Too White, Go Back To Europe’

They call ’em the “Tan Klan.” Check the links (via Memeorandum): * “Racist Latino Group Harasses Tea Party: “You’re Too White. Go Back to Europe.” (Video).” * “Latino KKK Member To Tea Partier: “You’re Too White, Go Back To Europe.” * “Racist Mexican Group the “Brown Berets” Chant to Tea Party: “Your White, Go Back […]

 


[UPDATED] Obama’s Insensitive World

Original post at 73wire.com Update below. It’s no secret that President Obama has a golf addiction and that Michelle Obama can officially be called a “golf widow.”:  But the media silence and the left’s defense is rather humorous as golf tends to be an elitist sport–exactly the image the left does not want to portray. […]

 

Update on Sarah Palin’s 2012 Ground Game!

Last night’s post is here: “Sarah Palin’s 2012 Ground Game.” I need to augment my main suggestion (avoid “The Hillary Complex“) with the additional notation on the use of dictionaries and spellcheck as needed: RELATED: “Palin invents word ‘refudiate,’ compares herself to Shakespeare” (via Memeorandum). Cross-posted from American Power.

 


Germany’s GQ Offers Timely Surprise

The timing’s particularly interesting. From Germany’s GQ, “Lindsay Lohan Topless In German GQ.” (And click here if you don’t read German.) A phenomenal video clip is here: “Lindsay Lohan in German GQ.” She’s a very sexy woman, but she needs to recover and resolve her legal issues. RELATED: “Lindsay Lohan checks into rehab before 90-day […]

RWN Exclusive! – Sarah Palin’s 2012 Ground Game

This essay appears tonight exclusively at Right Wing News, and will run tomorrow at American Power. ********** Just barely a year ago I published “Can Palin Win the 2012 GOP Nomination?” I laid out what I considered the necessary prerequisites for Sarah Palin’s emergence as viable, top-tier candidate for the nomination in 2012. The very […]

 

And by the way: while we’re not getting cocky about 2010…

…let’s make sure we don’t get cocky about 2012, either. No less of a genius than Charles Krauthammer sounded that particular alarm earlier this week, and now Moe Lane writes: The NAACP has a goal; minimizing the Democratic Party’s losses in 201[0*] (via the use of a smear campaign). Vice President Biden also has a […]

 

“On a day when the BBC and other media have featured extensive reports all day long on what they term the dire economic situation in Gaza, why are they not mentioning the new shopping mall that opened there yesterday?”

I’ll be the first to admit: I know very, very little about Gaza. But I know that I know very, very little about Gaza because of this story: A nice new shopping mall opened today in Gaza: Will the media report on it? It’s a long post with a lot of info by a guy […]

 

Muslims Riot in France

The background story is here, “France fears widespread rioting as youths rampage after police shoot robber.” Other than that is mainly bloggers reporting on this, surprise. See Jihad Watch, “Muslims rioting in France, burning cars over killing of Muslim casino robber who shot at cops,” and Gateway Pundit, “Disgruntled Muslim Youths Now Using Automatic Weapons […]

 

Adam Serwer Says Move Along There’s Nothing to See Here

Here’s a fascinating paradox of liberalism, one that affects not only them but anybody who lives where they have influence. Who you are determines truth. Ted Kennedy or Robert Byrd drop dead, and if Fox News says that’s what happened then it hasn’t really happened yet. Vice President Joe Biden says the Recovery & Reinvestment […]

 

Fighting Left-Wing Evil and Hate

I’m sending folks over to my place to check it out. One serious post: “‘Is There Anything You Can Do to Stop Them’.” And one mocking: “Selective Comment Moderation at Lawyers, Gays and Money – NTTAWWT!!” Also related, unfortunately: “Radical Leftist Arrested for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Assault on Military Personnel.”

 


Taxing tanning beds…for racial justice.

As if there wasn’t enough diversity between New Delhi and New Jersey already: A new Vaseline ad campaign in India urging men to whiten their faces has sparked international controversy, with critics of the ads contending that Vaseline – a subsidiary of the Dutch-Anglo conglomerate Unilever – is promoting the notion that only white skin […]
