Faux Media Outrage: Women Are Once Again Used as Weapons for Political Gain »

My Stupid, Moronic, Lying Grandstanding… »

Back stabbing, Race baiting, representative, Jim Clyburn, is jumping on the Democratic-fueled baseless claim that political rhetoric was to blame in the recent tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona.

Obama Playing Politics With Borders, Gulf Spill, and KSM »

Recently, Sec. Hillary Clinton made news by telling an Ecuadorean reporter that, sure enough, Obama plans to sue Arizona over its new law. Huh. That was news to Gov. Brewer. Nice way for her to find out for sure. But it begs the question, why. Why is Obama suing Arizona over its new law for [...]

“Are You Threatening Me?” »

If you mean the White House and some unions, the answer would be a resounding, YES! W.H., Labor To Vote-Switchers: We Won’t Forget.

WaPo Now Admits to “Salon” Scandal (Guess It’s No Longer Just a Misundertanding) »

Last week, we reported about an ethics scandal brewing at the WaPo, wherein lots of backpedaling, minimizing and all around denials were the order of the day. All can be read here.

Bill Ayers would be so proud »

The so far left that they forgot what is right wing of the Democratic party has taken a new tact. They have decided that they don’t really have a problem with swiftboating after all. Just as long as the shoe is on the other foot. And Republicans are the ones wearing it. Starting this week [...]

Screw You Roger Simon! »

Last night’s Politico article by Roger Simon is particularly offensive. He not only offends Hillary but does his best to minimize the importance of the nearly 18 million people that voted for her. And as one of those record breaking millions I am mad as hell. I am sure you know the rest. Obama’s first [...]

Williams Settles Obama Photo Dust-Up — Remember Obama Attack on Clinton re Bhutto [UPDATED x2] »

UPDATE: Jerome Armstrong takes down the “progressive” bloggers who’ve bought Drudge’s allegation that Clinton’s people pushed this photograph.

Armstrong adds, “Drudge is [...]
