Things That Make You Go Hmm: Arsenio Calls Out Brian Williams for Igno
Liberal reporters, particularly those at MSNBC, are quick to accuse conservatives of racism when it doesn’t exist. So it’s particularly amusing when they’re accused of it themselves.

Bad News for ObamaCare? Nah, Just a 'Hiccup' Say Big Three Nets
