Blogger: GOP Unique In Its Anti-Government ‘Virulence’

Asked to name something that stands alone, a lot of people would say, “The cheese.” To New York magazine's Jonathan Chait, another reasonable answer is “the Republican party,” at least in regard to global warming specifically and hatred of government in general. Chait’s main point is that the GOP is extremist not only in an American context but also by international standards: “Of all the major…

Radio Lib: GOP Guilty of 'Moral Treason' for Conspiring Against Obama

Left-wing radio talker Thom Hartmann is hobbled with a decidedly short memory. He condemns Republicans for wasting no time in their plans to thwart President Obama, literally from the first day of his presidency. Hartmann has apparently forgotten that one has to go way, way back to the second Bush presidency to see the opposition party so determined in its efforts to undermine the chief…

Oregon AG to Brian Williams: Gun Laws 'Not Relevant' in Mass Shooting

On Thursday, Brian Williams predictably raised the gun control issue as he anchored MSNBC's breaking news coverage of a mass shooting in Oregon. Williams asked Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum, "Can I ask you about your gun laws – concealed carry, that kind of thing?" The Democrat pushed back in explaining the state laws: "It's a complicated area. But that's my understanding – not that it'…

Media Call to ‘Defund’ NRA, Repeal 2nd Amendment After Tragic Shooting

Early Thursday, a gunman opened fire on campus at an Oregon community college, killing 13 people and injuring at least 20.
