CNN's Lemon Praises Maher for Raising Anti-Obama Racism: 'Finally Some

Left-wing “comedian” Bill Maher is setting the news agenda for CNN. Literally. With “Motivated by Race?” on screen, CNN anchor Don Lemon previewed his 7 PM hour Saturday night by citing Joe Wilson, “town hallers yelling at lawmakers” and those “refusing to let kids hear the commander in chief. And on and on and on. What's behind it? Is it racial?” In the subsequent segment, Lemon revealed his…

Maureen Dowd: Joe Wilson's 'You Lie' Outburst All About Racism

One of the biggest concerns most conservatives had about a Barack Obama presidency was that any criticism of him or his policies would be reported by liberal media members as an act of racism.  Sadly, such fears ended up actually being understated, for since Inauguration Day, the left-wing punditry have routinely depicted anyone with the guts to question the new President -- from Tea Party goers…

MSNBC, Thy Name is Racist

You would think MSNBC would have learned after getting caught in a deliberately doctored piece of video, which tried to portray town hall protestors as white racists.  The video showed a man ‘packing heat' outside an event where the President was speaking, but was edited in such a way as to conceal the fact that the man was actually African-American. Yet, the opposite has occurred.  MSNBC seems…

Should Americans Have to Choose Between Health Insurance and Booze

In the midst of all the debate over healthcare reform, the Left and their media minions conveniently ignore an irrefutable fact: many Americans can't "afford" health insurance because they'd rather spend their money on other things.Those include such "necessities" as fancy cars, big screen TV sets, iPhones and their monthly fees, designer jeans, and -- ahem -- alcohol.With this in mind, the good…

CBS Skips Killing of Pro-Life Activist; ABC Sees ‘Flip Side’ to Ki

Katie Couric’s CBS Evening News on Friday omitted any mention of the murder of pro-life activist Jim Pouillon in Michigan, despite having discussed the murder of abortionist George Tiller on the June 1, June 2 and June 9 newscasts (and then referencing the killing as a recent “hate crime” in a June 10 report on the shooting at Washington, D.C.’s Holocaust Museum).Both ABC’s World News and the NBC…

Media Ignore ACORN Giving Business Advice to Pimp and Prostitute

You would think videos exposing representatives of the controversial organization ACORN giving advice on how a couple can get a loan to set up a brothel would be BIG NEWS.Such would seem especially the case if the proposed house of ill repute would be employing minors illegally smuggled across the border from Central America.Yet, when Andrew Breitbart's new website Big Government published such…
