Tea Party 'Racial Epithets,' Six Months Later
It’s been more than six months since the left accused Tea Party protesters of calling members of the Congressional Black Caucus “racial epithets” while they were walking to the Capitol to cast their historic votes for health care reform.
Despite the fact no video or audio (until now) has surfaced, showing any Tea Party protester in the act of racially slurring elected officials, and despite…
MSNBC President Claims 'We're Not Trying to Push Democratic Talking Po
Howard Kurtz quoted MSNBC president Phil Griffin in two stories in Monday's Washington Post, and both quotes seriously strained credulity. In a front-page story on how politicians campaign on cable news, Griffin tried to argue that they're not simply a Democrat talking-points factory and promoter of Democrat candidates. Oh no, claimed Griffin, just because Republicans choose to decline their…
Matt Lauer Tries to Tie Paladino to Crime, Might Take Kids to Gay Prid
NBC's Matt Lauer questioned Carl Paladino on Monday's Today about his recent controversial remarks on homosexuality, and hinted that his comments might prompt "violence against homosexuals" and suicides of homosexual youth, such as the recent case at Rutgers. When Paladino attacked Andrew Cuomo for taking his children to a "gay pride" parade, Lauer implied that he might take his kids to such an…
WaPo Wrings Hands Over 'Onslaught' of Spending by GOP-friendly Groups
Four years ago, frustrated with President Bush and the Republican Congress, voters handed over to Democrats the gavels to the House and Senate chambers.
Weeks before the 2006 election, the Washington Post matter-of-factly noted that "Outside Groups [Were] Shoveling Cash Into Tight Races."
In that 24-paragraph October 3 article, Post staffers noted massive independent expenditures being…
President Obama Still Angry At Supreme Court…And, Well, Everyone Els
Democrats love their SEIU union money, but when small business people’s voices are represented by the Chamber of Commerce, fury erupts from the administration. Watch this Axelrod interaction with Bob Schieffer. Axelrod mentions the Supreme court case. They just cannot let it go.
Here is the president blasting the Supreme Court in his radio address:
UAW Workers to Picket ... the UAW; They Should Also Picket the White H
Following up on yesterday's post ("Government/General Motors, UAW Hose Long-Time Members Twice in Two Weeks"; at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog) -- What a "revolting" development this is, as reported in the Detroit News:
GM Orion assembly workers to picket UAW over two-tier wage structure
In an unprecedented move, Government/General Motors and the UAW are imposing a two-tiered wage structure…
Government/General Motors, UAW Hose Long-Time Members Twice in Two Wee
Solidarity, schmolidarity.
It was one thing when the United Auto Workers agreed many years ago to temporary "two-tiered" wage structures at the plants of Detroit's Big Three automakers. After all, it was argued, they'll be brought up to a level of full pay and benefits in several years, and new employees aren't as productive as the veterans.
Newsweek's Clift Plays Democratic Strategist with 'What Obama Must Do
Apparently the political death panel at Newsweek is resigned to the fact that the Democratic Congress is DOA come November 2.
Thus braced for the impact of a possible Republican congressional takeover, uber-liberal Newsweek writer Eleanor Clift donned her political strategist cap to openly advise Obama that how, "Just as Clinton did in ’94," he'll need to "reaffirm his relevance and return to…
'Media Mash': Media Ignore Belafonte Slam on Tea Party; Amanpour Accus
While the "media will wade into a Tea Party event with hundreds of thousands of people looking for that one brain-dead Lyndon LaRouche follower" who says something asinine that they can plaster "all over the news," they have ignored the insane rhetoric coming from featured speakers at last Saturday's "One Nation Working Together" rally, NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told viewers of the…
Media Parrot Far-left Blog's Smear Campaign Against Chamber of Commerc
A number of media liberals are up in arms over a far-left blog's inconclusive investigation - replete with innuendo and assumption - purporting to show that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has illegally spent funds obtained from foreign entities on political campaigns in the United States.
Of course near-identical efforts by a handful of the most powerful labor unions have not been mentioned.…
NYT Shocked People Would Read Nobel Economist Hayek, Ponders Strange C
Kate Zernike, the New York Times's Tea Party reporter, can add another scalp to her collection. This one belongs to ‘obscure' Nobel Prize-winning economist Freidrich Hayek and his wacky theories like "rule of law.""Once-obscure texts by dead writers" such as Hayek, wrote Zernike, are full of "long-dormant ideas" and strange arguments like Hayek's claim, as summarized by Zernike, that "government…
Trifecta of Distortion: Kathy Griffin, Wanda Sykes, Lance Bass Blame C

WaPo Offers Up Gauzy Review of the 'Tropical Reign' of Hawaii Democrat
King Kamehameha's got nothing on Sen. Daniel Inouye (D). The former may have united the island kingdom of Hawai'i in 1810, but the latter's been a reliable vehicle of federal taxpayer pork for the Aloha State for more than 50 years.That, in a nutshell is the thrust of "Tropical reign," today's Style section front page profile of the 86-year-old president pro tempore of the Senate:More than any…
As Feingold Runs Afoul of NFL, AP Claims He Is 'Slightly Trailing' In
The National Football League is whistling incumbent Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold's campaign team for illegal use of film.The campaign has been playing a commercial which includes footage of former Minnesota wide receiver Randy Moss's pretend-mooning of Green Bay Packer fans during a 2004 playoff game, and is apparently doing so without the express written consent of the league.
