Bozell Column: State-Run Broadcasting Pushes for Higher Taxes
A “serious” proposal is one that has a reasonable expectation of resolving a conflict. Anyone studying Speaker Boehner's Plan B proposal knows it wasn't serious. Why are so many defending it, and bemoaning its defeat?

Robert Bork Dies and Rachel Maddow Smears Him With Ancient Slander
It's not enough that liberals sought to destroy a good man's reputation when he was nominated to the Supreme Court. Their efforts at character assassination continue after his passing.
One of the most contemptible examples of this came from Rachel Maddow on her MSNBC show Dec. 19 in talking about the death of Robert Bork and his influence on American jurisprudence and politics over the last…

Cal Thomas Column: The Perfect Gift

NPR's Totenberg Isn't Always Mean-spirited In Obituaries...If You're L
Nina Totenberg's mean-spirited obituary about Robert Bork doesn't fully display her double standard, reporting just as favorably about her liberal friends as she does about her conservative adversaries. Take liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In 2010, Totenberg hosted "her friend" Ginsburg for a conversation at George Washington University, and last month, Totenberg gave the tribute to…

Ed Schultz Producer Insists: I’m ‘Behind Brent Bozell to Try to De
Last Thursday, after Brent Bozell spoke up for his lobbying group For America on Capitol Hill, urging Republicans not to vote for a tax increase, it was only natural that liberal radio hosts would unleash on him for being unreasonable.

Gregory on MTP: Likely Broke DC Law, Hypocritically Mocked NRA's Armed
Two blog posts today should shred the credibility of Meet the Press's David Gregory in making arguments for gun control and against appropriate armed staff or security personnel at schools -- or they would, if journalists had the least bit of interest in exposing lawbreaking and hyprocritical behavior by their professional colleagues.
During the show, as reported at the Patriot Perspective,…
