AP Writers Claim Their 'Poll' Shows 'Majority Harbor Prejudice Against

The latest and possibly last (we can hope) preelection poll from partnership between the Associated Press and GfK Roper International purportedly tells us that most of us "now express prejudice toward blacks" whether we "recognize those feelings or not."

Pro-Obama Ad Features Children Singing About America Where 'Sick Peopl

Rachel Maddow Taunts: Ohio Republicans Are 'Pretty Wussy at This Point

Assessing the presidential race in the Midwest with Chris Hayes on Thursday night, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said Ohio Gov.

It's hard to find a benchmark against which to compare remarks delivered by Vice President Joe Biden, but here's one from a past administration. In June 2004, Bush 43 Vice President Dick Cheney was greeted on the Senate Floor at the annual Senate photo op by Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy.

As NewsBusters readers know, one of my guilty pleasures is pointing out the staggering ignorance of Bill Maher.

Bozell Column: The 'New Normal' Christianity

NBC’s sitcom “The New Normal” isn’t just trying to remake society for the Gay Left. It’s trying to remake Christianity, which is to say, destroy it. For its October 22 episode “The Godparent Trap,” NBC ran promos with the gay character Brian in the confessional, and the priest sneering, “If you’re not going to take this seriously, I’m going to go back to playing Angry Birds.” As the plot…

Daily Kos Week in Review: Jumping the Gun
