To Liberals, GOP Donors are Public Enemy Number One
The White House attack on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce isn't about "disclosure." It's about disarmament. While posing as campaign finance champions, the ultimate goal of the Democratic offensive is to intimidate conservative donors, chill political free speech and drain Republican coffers.

Newsweek's Advice to Christine O'Donnell: Submit to a Husband and Open
After getting spanked in the November 2 election, Christine O'Donnell needs to find herself a good Christian man to submit to. Or she could open a Wiccan supply store.

ABC's Stephanopoulos Still Thinks He's a White House Spin Doctor

Lib Talker Malloy: Karl Rove 'Traitorous Rat Bastard' Who 'Makes Deals
The liberal media have had a field day with conservative Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell saying years ago on "Politically Incorrect" that she had dabbled in witchcraft in high school.

Time's Klein Harps on Chamber's 'Foreign Money' While Leftist Mother J
Although experts from plenty of liberal-leaning news agencies agree that the Obama administration's complaint about the Chamber of Commerce allegedly spending foreign money on campaign issue ads is overblown, Time's Joe Klein is dead set on griping about the non-scandal.
