On two separate Sunday morning talk shows following the third Super Tuesday, conservative writers George Will and Rich Lowry expounded upon their frustrations with the “rats” and “Vichy Republicans” in the GOP and conservative movement for their opportunistic bowing to presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Lefty Writer: GOP’s Been On the Road to Fascism ‘Since at Least 1994’
Plenty of conservatives would concur with Daily Kos writer Mark Sumner that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is a fascist. They certainly would not agree with Sumner’s belief that the GOP as a whole has become increasingly aligned with fascism “since at least 1994.”
Sumner contended in a Sunday article that beginning in “the time of the Gingrich,” Republicans “realized they could…

CNN's Blitzer Invites 'Clean Campaigner' Dukakis to Trash Republicans
As former Massachusetts Governor and 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis appeared as a guest on Friday's Wolf show, CNN host Wolf Blitzer cued up the Massachusetts liberal to slam the current Republican presidential candidate field: "I remember covering your campaign in 1988. You always insisted on running a pretty clean campaign, a strategy some say may have cost you the race.…
Jane Mayer: Koch Brothers Reaping Racism and Hate With Trump Triumph
Journalist Jane Mayer issued another twisted attack on her own Enemy No. 1, the libertarian industrialist Koch brothers, from her New Yorker magazine perch. “Who Sponsored The Hate?” left no doubt as to who she thinks is responsible for the current Trumpian climate of political vituperation. Mayer has for years issued dark, often conspiratorial threats about the Koch brothers, the Midwestern…

Josh Marshall: Stop Whining, Conservatives -- Trump’s One of You
“True fact,” “filled to capacity,” “ATM machine.” To this list of redundancies, Talking Points Memo editor and publisher Marshall might add “conservative general-election challenger to Donald Trump.” Regarding what righty activists might do if Trump gets the Republican nomination, Marshall contended in a Friday post that “if you run a 'movement conservative' against Trump, it gets pretty hard to…
Bozell & Graham Column: Comedy Central's Hillary Propaganda
No one doubts that the “fake news” shows on Comedy Central are propaganda organs for liberalism. NPR and MSNBC hosts have swooned over the soothing satirical nightcaps for the snarky liberal. Apparently, that genre isn’t enough. Now the channel’s situation comedies are pushing the Democrats.
In the March 16 episode of the millennial-female sitcom “Broad City,” the buffoonish main character (…

PBS's Brooks: GOP Should Confirm 'Excellent Choice' Garland
On the regular "Shields and Brooks" on Friday's PBS NewsHour, it was another case of a liberal analyst and a faux-conservative agreeing with each other as allegedly right-leaning New York Times columnist David Brooks gushed over U.S. Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland, calling him "an excellent choice," a "model of judicial restraint," and "a man of both amazing integrity and capacity to be…
When I read this morning that Marco Rubio had said that Ted Cruz is the only conservative left in the Republican presidential primary race, it reinforced my decision to write Rubio an open letter urging his endorsement of Sen. Cruz.
"John Kasich Is No Moderate" a teaser headline at MSNBC.com's home page warns over an ominous black-and-white photo of the Ohio governor. Sure "[t]he genial Ohio governor has forged a reputation as a pragmatic centrist who can bring people together," the teaser caption notes, but, "His record and policy positions tell a different story."

Trump Seems Obsessed With Claiming Fox News's Megyn Kelly Is 'Crazy'
In almost two days, Donald Trump -- the presumptive front-runner in the 2016 Republican presidential primary campaign -- has used his Twitter account to regularly call Megyn Kelly, the popular host of The Kelly File on the Fox News Channel, “crazy.”
In an article on the TV Newser website, Mark Joyella explains “Why We Shouldn't Accept Donald Trump Calling Megyn Kelly 'Crazy,'” especially after…
Dolores Huerta Derrocha Su Legado Atacando a los Republicanos
En una entrevista con Daniel Rivero de Fusion, Dolores Huerta -- quien apoya a Hillary Clinton -- empezó con su manera típica de "difamación total" con calumnias hacia todos los aspirantes a la candidatura presidencial republicana y comparando a Donald Trump con el fallecido George Wallace, de reputación racista y segregacionista.

Morning Joe: GOP Brand 'Appalling, Disgusting, and Pathetic' 'Toxic'
Joe Scarborough may not have been on Friday’s Morning Joe, because his band was performing at SXSW but that didn’t stop the liberal bias from flowing. Everything from Republican Party bashing to Hillary Clinton-praising was out on display going into the weekend. Donny Deutsch, of Republicans for not meeting with Judge Merrick Garland: “The fact that they won't even walk into a room is…
Joe Klein Insults Hillary: She's Our Bland 'Quinoa and Kale Salad'
Hillary Clinton must just hate Time magazine columnist Joe Klein. He’s written entire books rhapsodizing about the protean political gifts of her husband (The Natural). Ten years ago, he waxed over Obama. “Obama seemed the political equivalent of a rainbow — a sudden preternatural event inspiring awe and ecstasy.”
This year, he’s completely unimpressed by her: “I’m not at all certain that…
