Media's Heavy-Handed Liberals Race to Exploit Hurricane Tragedy

Like ambulance-chasing lawyers, the heavy-handed liberal activists who populate much of the media raced to exploit Hurricane Sandy even as the storm was lashing the East Coast last night, citing it as proof of “climate change” and a reason to oppose Mitt Romney. Yesterday afternoon, MSNBC’s Martin Bashir started a panel discussion by claiming that “people are wondering today if the current…

CNN's Bossy Soledad O'Brien: I Treat Rudy Giuliani Like One of My Kids

Lloyd Grove of the Daily Beast offers a positive profile of CNN's Soledad O'Brien -- she's "Cable TV's New Morning Thunder" -- but the morning host appeared quite arrogant in her trashing of Rudy Giuliani. Grove loved her smack talk at Rudy as she tried to deny a Libya coverup on October 22: "It was the sort of thrashing that very few TV hosts would have the nerve to administer to the hero of…

David Limbaugh Column: The Lord of the Flies Administration

Two recent ads illustrate the great cultural divide in this nation and which parties and presidential candidates represent these competing worldviews. In the handling of the economy and national security, President Obama has shown he's not capable of being the adult in the room.

Chuck Norris Column: Barack Obama, Master of Spin

The definition of spin is to apply a slant or particular emphasis to information, as to persuade or deceive. President Barack Obama really has been pounding the pulpit the past few days, with the election right around the corner, with the help of his speechwriters. He sounds a lot like the Rev.

Former NYT Executive Editor Jokes At College He Had a 'Minor in Recrea

Former New York Times executive editor Bill Keller is one of those liberal baby boomers, but since he's now in his sixties, he feels compelled to tell college kids he once was hip. He told students at Miami University in Ohio that he's learned a lot since he graduated college in 1970.  Of course, going to college in those glorious Sixties, he was fond of his hallucinogens:

Michael Moore Produces Incredibly Vile Campaign Video for MoveOn.org

Michael Moore has produced a campaign video for MoveOn.org so vile that he has to be considered guilty of elderly abuse for having the senior citizens say the words that Moore & Co. wrote in the script. The video supposedly takes place at Rosebud Nursing Home and the script calls for some of the residents there to use the foulest of language to express their anger at what is described is "…
