WaPo's Dvorak Blasts Conservative Restaurant Owners, Compares 'Papa Jo
"Since when does serving up junk food give someone a license to preach?" carped Petula Dvorak as she opened her August 14 piece, "Now featuring filet o' fracas."* Gee, I dunno, Petula, maybe 1791, when the First Amendment -- you know, that pesky little document that guarantees freedom of speech and religion among other things -- was ratified.

Piers Morgan Tries to Bait Gingrich; Isn't Ryan Budget 'Radical Form o
When CNN isn't reading liberal talking points about the Romney-Ryan ticket, it's resorting to using conservative friendly fire against the Ryan budget, like Piers Morgan did on Monday.

On Morning Joe today, Chris Matthews exposed the ugly face of class warfare politics at its most primal.
Matthews claimed that Paul Ryan wants to "give" money to rich people but "doesn't like" people who depend on government, and indeed, as a conservative, wants to "screw" them. As NewsBuster Brad Wilmouth earlier noted, this isn't the first time Matthews has resorted to this vulgar…

Heavy-Handed AP: 'Steel Mill Polluted Town as Romney Firm Profited
For months, the liberal media have viciously attacked Mitt Romney’s time at Bain Capital in every way imaginable.
