“Everyone knows that the attendance at Yearly Kos by so many traditional politicians (we’re also going to be treated to speeches by Tom Vilsack, Howard Dean and Harry Reid) assures bloggers’ place in the political universe. Shortly before Moulitsas’s speech, Joe Trippi gropes for the right metaphor, comparing politicians’ courting of this nascent movement to […]

RWN returns on Monday. Until then, consider this an open thread, enjoy the links below, and have a great week-end! America’s North Shore Journal Blonde Sagacity Come Build The Fence Hamas Calls Off Israel Truce Humor: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi — Paradise Is Overrated (Lots Of Bad Language) Inoperable Terran Jewilicious Kim Priestap Net Neutrality’ Provision […]

One of the fringe benefits of a being a blogger is that you get emails from a handful of left-wing kooks who like to regularly send missives to a gazillion conservative websites. It’s not hate mail per se, it tends to be more like articles from ultra-liberal websites that they really want you to see […]

How about helping me out by taking a looking at all 12 of these ads? Is 12 too many? Well Ok, how about just clicking on 4 ads then? It would really help me out and since these advertisers are supporting a conservative blog like RWN, it would be great if they got a lot […]

I’ve put together my favorite quotes from Ann Coulter’s new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, which incidentally, was a fantastic read. You can read them all here. Enjoy!

Yesterday, I posted the Daily Kos and Democratic Underground reactions to Zarqawi’s death. Well today, I decided to complete the trifecta by posting a few of the reactions from commenters at the The Huffington Post. The Huffpo comment thread featured crabby liberals, a happy liberal here or there, conservatives pointing out that most of the […]

Left-wingers love to make up wild accusations about conservatives so that they can then turn around and use those baseless charges to try to justify their own outrageous behavior. Just to give you one infamous example, Michelle Malkin, among many other bloggers, posted some phone numbers on her blog that an anti-military college group had […]

Hugh Hewitt: I am amazed at the reactions today, and I want to read you a few of them, and gather your reactions to the reaction. From Richard Clarke, ultimately for the loved ones of troops in Iraq, (Zarqawi’s death) is not going to mean a big difference. Mark Steyn: No, that is pathetic, because […]

Is there anything left to that prosecutor’s case? One of the defendant’s lawyers has filed a motion that lays bare more inconsistencies and holes in the alleged victim’s story. This is amazing stuff. Osborn’s most damaging allegation is a statement from a Durham police investigator summarizing a conversation he had with the second dancer, Kim […]

Foreign Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki Said Today That The $25 Million Bounty On Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi’s Head Will Be Honored Reaction To Death Of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi From Leaders Around The World Transcript: Bush’s Statement On Al-Zarqawi An Iraqi Blog Round-Up On The Death Of Zarqawi Reaction On Zarqawi’s Demise From The Reality-Based Community […]

Over at the Daily Kos, there are a variety of threads discussing Zarqawi’s death and I dipped into one of them, one that is featured on the main page. The initial post featured a post from Bush that was sure to rile up the Kossacks: It was a major victory in the U.S.-led war in […]

Hat tip to PhilDragoo over at Free Republic for the graphic.

“One of the most brutal, heinous, and horrendous terrorists was killed last night when the U.S. Armed Forces delivered 500-pounds of justice to Iraq’s ‘Prince of Al-Qaeda’ on behalf of Nicholas Berg, Jack Armstrong, Ken Bigley, Jack Hensley and the thousands of others who were beheaded, tortured, and killed by Al-Zarqawi and his henchmen.” — […]

“I think the news of the loss of any human being is a tragedy. I think al-Zarqawi’s death is a double tragedy,” he said. “His death will incite a new wave of revenge. George Bush and al-Zarqawi are two men who believe in revenge.” Berg said “restorative justice,” – such as being forced to work […]

The folks over at Strategy Page sure helped their already solid reputation by putting this up yesterday, on the very day that Zarqawi was killed: “Given that Zarqawi has become a loose cannon and that his actions are handicapping Al Qaeda’s efforts, it seems reasonable to expect that an accident may befall him at some […]

On this happy day, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has been declared dead, I thought I’d head over to the DU to watch the grumbling. That’s because if there’s one thing that I’ve learned about lefties, it’s that good news for America tends to make them unhappy because they’re afraid Bush and the Republican party will […]

Congratulations to our troops, President Bush, and the Iraqi people on the happy occasion of Zarqawi’s Death! Update #1: It’s definitely time to break this out.

Due to unusual circumstances, there will be no daily news today. My apologies. The daily news will return tomorrow.

Because of the electorate’s anti-incumbent mood, talk of a third party has become all the rage. Peggy Noonan says that, “America may be ready for a new political party.” Howard Dean’s campaign manager, Joe Trippi, goes further and says, “America’s two political parties may not realize it yet, but in their current form they are […]

Right Wing News received a mention in Howard Kurtz’s Washington Post column: “At Right Wing News, though, John Hawkins says: “Given Ted Kennedy’s latest comments, it seems that the Democrats aren’t just for gay marriage, they believe people who have a traditional view of marriage are bigots. “‘A vote for this amendment is a vote […]

The big election of the day yesterday was the Bilbray (R) vs. Busby (D) Brawl over who would replace Duke Cunningham in California’s 50th district. The polls had been tight all along and Cunningham’s corruption and small candidates draining support from Bilbray turned the election into a possible Democratic pick-up even though it’s a Republican […]

Liberal columnist Richard Cohen, who, judging by his latest column, seems to be an atheist, had this to say in the course of criticizing the Pope’s comments at Auschwitz: “Now, though, Benedict has actually said something. He said more or less what I did after visiting Auschwitz/Birkenau — and before that, Treblinka, and afterward, Buchenwald […]

On Monday, I was on Bruno Behrend’s Extreme Wisdom show, which is out of Illinois, for about an hour discussing third parties. It was a long, very polite discussion in which I sliced the idea of a third party into about a hundred pieces. Do be forewarned, if you’re going to hear what I have […]

— The really ironic thing about this transcript that features Matt Lauer attacking Ann Coulter for ripping on the Jersey Girls is that it proves exactly the point she was trying to make: that Democrats can’t compete on the issues, so they have to put forth tragic figures whom you’re not supposed to be able […]

“This week the US “is prepared to provide Iran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium, diplomats said Tuesday”. And if I understand correctly you’re deciding on whether or not to give Hawaii away. All this in addition to having a debate as to the extent foreigners will be able to freely enter […]

Hollywood has always ran in conflict with the values of decent, Christian Americans, with its glorification of promiscuity, vulgarity, violence, and “alternate lifestyles.” Now, the twisted left-wingers who run Hollywood have declared an open war on Middle America with a summer movie that spits in the eye of anyone who cares for his fellow man. […]

“The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead or on the next. It was the deep knowledge–and pray God we have not lost it–that there is a profound, moral difference between […]

Yesterday afternoon, I did an exclusive mini-interview with RNC eCampaign Director Patrick Ruffini. What you’ll see below is an edited, partial transcript of our conversation. Enjoy! John Hawkins: Does the RNC have any sort of organized method for checking out what the blogosphere is doing on a daily basis? Patrick Ruffini: Sure! Each morning we […]
