Amanda Marcotte: Pro-Life Movement Is ‘Rotten to Its Seedy Core’
Anyone fascinated by strident pro-choice rhetoric finds that Marcotte seldom disappoints in that regard.

In a thorough takedown of the left and the liberal media over their double standard in selectively assigning blame after mass shootings, the Fox News Channel’s Megyn Kelly dismantled on Monday night the arguments of abortion activists who have rushed to blame conservatives and the pro-life movement for supposedly causing the deadly shooting Friday at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado.

On Monday night, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News omitted from their coverage out of Chicago the arrest of an African-American teen for allegedly making threats on social media against white male students at the University of Chicago in retaliation for the shooting death of Laquan McDonald.

NY Times: Team Obama's 'Aggressive Assault' on Government Inspectors
Eric Lichtblau of The New York Times chronicled another example of the Obama administration’s historic resistance to the free flow of information: an “aggressive assault” curtailing the ability of inspectors general to get access to records inside their agencies.

I'll Sue If Cruz Is GOP Nominee, Birther Dem Congressman Tells Colmes
It’s been a while (not really) since we’ve heard any crazy comments from our favorite ambulance chaser-turned-congressman from Florida, but now he’s going full-on birther mode when it comes to Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential bid by calling Cruz “ineligible” because he was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father.
Speaking on Alan Colmes’ radio show last week, Democratic Rep. Alan…
