Lefty Blogger: GOP’s Fake Issues Distract Public From Real Issues
The left tends to believe that Republicans, for whatever reason, are a lot better than Democrats at messaging and salesmanship. In that vein, Martin Longman argues that GOPers have a flair for fabricating issues -- “non-problems,” Longman calls them -- which distract the public from real problems.
“There was the non-problem with Fast & Furious,” wrote Longman in a Friday post. “There was the…

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh blasted President Obama for treating Republicans as a greater enemy than ISIS terrorists: “Barack Obama's number one enemy is the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

Really? Media Meme: U.S. Does Not Face Same Terrorism Risks As Europe
In the wake of the Paris terrorist murder sprees, a media narrative that the U.S. is somehow less vulnerable to terrorist attacks than countries in Europe has arisen.
The reasons given for this contention would be uproariously funny if the stakes weren't so serious: "Geography and strict travel restrictions." Additionally, according to the report where the meme appears to have originated, there…

Latin Grammys Include Anti-Trump Protest by Leftist Musicians
The Latin Grammy awards on Thursday night came with an anti-Donald Trump protest. The Guadalajara-based pop-rock band Mana performed a song with San Jose-based Los Tigres del Norta called "Somos Más Americanos" ("We Are More American") and then unfurled a banner that read "Latinos unidos no voten por los racistas [Latinos, united, don't vote for the racists]."

Is Everything Political? Meet Mic's 'Menstrual Revolution'
If you want to talk about what contributes to the manufactured “war on women” argument, look no further than the lefties at Mic.com. They're going to politicize the period. Forget about ISIS -- we women have our own bloody battle to deal with and Mic is putting it to the forefront with an article titled, “Meet the Women Who Want to Lead a Menstrual Revolution.” They even lament the injustice…

CNN's Kayyem: Don't Fight Back Against Terrorist Except As Last Resort
On Friday's New Day on CNN, during a discussion of how to survive a terrorist attack from a mass shooter, CNN National Security Analyst Juliette Kayyem not only omitted any recommendation to prepare by learning to use a gun and keeping one handy, but she actually advised against fighting unless "you have no other option" after attempting to run or hide.

NYT's Dowd: Hollywood's a 'Sick Society,' Like Catholics and Saudis
In an interview with TheWrap.com, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd attacked Hollywood as a “sick society” that claims to be liberal, but fails to treat women as equals in the movie biz. Dowd cited the “shocking statistic” that in 2013 and 2014 only 1.9 percent of the directors of the 100 top-grossing films were women. Then she compared Hollywood to other “sick societies” like Saudi Arabia,…

The AP Lies About Trump and Muslims, and the Media Mob Follows
Donald Trump saw his remarks about illegal immigration twisted into supposed advocacy for a database of Muslims, and the MSNBC headline came with a major twist: "Trump’s plan for a Muslim database draws comparison to Nazi Germany."
This is shameful. Utterly unprofessional journalism. And utterly typical. And you wonder why the American people have such a low opinion of journalists?

NBC's Chuck Todd & Co. Decry 'Freakout' Over Syrian Refugees
Apparently the NBC News political team ’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, and Carrie Dann thought it would be a good idea to compare the fear and “political freak out” of the Ebola crisis in 2014 to the Paris terror attacks of 2015.
How could such a comparison be made? Easy. Todd and his crew are practically mocking the fear, concerns and suspicions Americans have of Syrian refugees entering the…

D'oh! Unfortunate Freudian Slip Undermines Message From CAIR Shill
An appearance last night on Alan Colmes' radio show went from bad to barely better for a spokesman with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Hassan Shibly, executive director of the Florida CAIR branch at Tampa, made an earnest attempt to separate Islamic fanatics responsible for last week's carnage in Paris from genuine Muslims, despite a revealing gaffe right out of the gate.

Maher Mocks 'Jesus Freaks,' God's Fingers in 'Every War in History'
On Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher, host Maher closed the last show of the season mocking Dr. Ben Carson and other "Jesus freaks" as he used a quote from Dr. Carson about "God's fingers" pushing him to the presidency, with the HBO host charging that God has been to blame for "every war in human history," including the Paris terrorist attacks.

NYT Laments Global Warming Has Affected Fall Fashion for New Yorkers
In what has to be one of the more unusual pieces by the liberal media sounding the alarm on global warming, a piece in Thursday’s New York Times complained about the inability of wealthy (liberal) New Yorkers to wear their lucrative fall clothing due to stretches of warm temperatures in the Empire State.

Diamond & Silk: All Legal American Residents Now Tracked on Databases
Eeeek! Donald Trump wants databases! Oh, the horror!
NEWSFLASH!!! Every person legally residing in the United States is already in a database as Diamond & Silk have entertainingly pointed out. Even a liberal writer at Slate has admitted that Trump did not specifically single out Muslims alone to be placed on a database. As for the absurd claim that Trump wanted identity badges for Muslims,…
