Brent Bozell: It's Time for Conservatives to Rally Around Sean Hannity
[The following message was originally posted on my Facebook page.] I have said many times that the greatest opposition to the Left can be found in conservative talk radio and every major conservative talk show host should concern himself, or herself, with what inevitably will be ferocious personal attacks. Just ask Rush Limbaugh. It was only a matter of time before Sean Hannity would find…
MSNBC's Matthews: Anti-Government Sentiment May Hurt Texas in Census H
MSNBC's Chris Matthews today jumped on a statistic regarding Census participation in Texas to argue that anti-government sentiment from TEA Parties is hurting the Lone Star State in the decennial head count and hence could shortchange the state in congressional reapportionment and redistricting:CHRIS MATTHEWS, "Hardball" host: Time for the "Big Number" tonight. It speaks to the unintended effects…
CBS Analyst: Dems Hope Tea Party Becomes 'Stain' on GOP
On Monday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez asked political analyst and writer for the left-leaning blog Slate.com, John Dickerson, if Democrats were "worried" about the "ton of momentum" behind the tea party movement. Dickerson replied: "What Democrats can only hope for is that tea party activists somehow overreach and that that ends up becoming a stain on the Republican Party." …
MSNBC's David Shuster Rips Sarah Palin for 'Dem Hit List,' Brings on L
MSNBC's David Shuster on Monday continued to hit Sarah Palin for supposedly inciting hate against liberals and Democrats on her Facebook page. The cable channel's graphic hyperbolically complained, "Sarah Palin's Dem Hit-list." With no sense of irony, Shuster then brought on the vitriolic Mike Malloy to trash Palin. Malloy is the liberal radio host who said in 2009 that Dick Cheney has "been…
Crude Maher Urges Democrats to Treat Republicans as Tiger Woods Did Hi
In the midst of liberals condemning the tone of anti-Obama conservatives, Bill Maher on Friday pointed to a vulgar and sexually-explicit text message Tiger Woods reportedly sent, which promised aggressive sexual behavior, as representing the attitude Democrats should adopt from the “lying bullies of the right.” Maher quoted from Woods: “I want to treat you rough, throw you around, spank and slap…
Jack Cafferty Just Can't Get Over His Anti-Palin Obsession
CNN commentator Jack Cafferty predictably revisited his Palin Derangement Syndrome on Friday's Situation Room, hours after the former Alaska governor made a campaign appearance for Senator John McCain for his re-election bid.

NYT's Paul Krugman Hits G.O.P.'s 'Eliminationist Rhetoric' and Reagan
In another predictable column condemning the Tea Party movement, Paul Krugman called Ronald Reagan an “anti-government fanatic” and disdained “the eliminationist rhetoric of the G.O.P" in Friday's "Going to Extreme," using the same silly examples of alleged violent imagery the rest of the press has been wringing their hands over. So why was Krugman happy with the idea of angry lefties hanging Sen…
David Frum: Joe Klein's Kind of Conservative
Time's Joe Klein took to his magazine's Swampland blog yesterday evening to defend former AEI scholar David Frum.In doing so, Klein [pictured in file photo at right] contrasted Frum with "extreme" conservatives who were "pretty close to Jonestown" by "drinking their own kool-aid."

CBS's Rodriguez: Dems 'Rescued' ObamaCare From 'Death's Door
Introducing a report on passage of the ObamaCare reconciliation bill on Friday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez referred to a couple upcoming rescue stories on the show and cheerfully remarked: "And speaking of rescues, the Democrats have rescued health care reform, once on death's door, after putting the final touches, finally, on the sweeping legislation yesterday."

ABC's David Wright Warns: Sarah Palin's 'Tactics' 'May Backfire,' Skip
Good Morning America's David Wright on Friday ominously warned that Sarah Palin's "tactics," which include encouraging conservatives to politically "reload" and putting cross-hairs over Democrats she wishes to see defeated, "may backfire."

Nets Not So Excited About Violence and Threats Aimed at ObamaCare Oppo
An evening after all three broadcast network newscasts led by advancing the Democratic narrative of violent ObamaCare critics, a storyline intended to discredit conservatives as all gratuitously named Sarah Palin as a culprit, on Thursday night the same programs weren't so interested and only stumbled into the suddenly “bipartisan” victims – despite fresh revelations of threats and violence aimed…
Time's Alex Altman: Republicans 'Implicitly Validate' Anger Spurring V
Republicans are escalating political violence against Democrats by not shutting up with their insipid anti-ObamaCare talking points. That seems to be the argument of Time magazine writer Alex Altman, at least. Altman denounced what he held to be “The GOP Response to the Intimidation Campaign Against Democrat” in the magazine’s Swampland blog today. Of course, that headline presupposes that…
GMA Highlights Threats Against Bart Stupak, Ignored 'Living Hell' Cong
Good Morning America's Pierre Thomas on Thursday played up the threats and intimidation that Bart Stupak has suffered since he voted for the health care bill. However, last week, the same program ignored the "living hell" the Congressman dealt with as he claimed to oppose the legislation. Thomas played a voice mail released by Stupak where an anonymous caller attacked, "Congressman Stupak, you…
CNN's Sanchez Asks: Are U.S. 'Zealots' Similar to Al Qaeda, Taliban
Not content with simply reporting on threats against lawmakers who voted for ObamaCare, the liberal media has taken it upon itself (with a bit of direction from the Democratic Party) to blame the Tea Party and the GOP. The coverage stands in stark contrast to the litany of similar instances involving conservatives and Republicans. They were treated as isolated incidents, if discussed at all.CNN's…
