Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Paul Brandus decided he’d had enough of the innumerable lies about Obama floating through the blogosphere, so he did some research and came up with a post: “Deconstructing the 5 most ridiculous myths about Barack Obama.” Unfortunately for him, he forgot the cardinal rule of attacking your enemy: Know your
Continue readingHere’s what didn’t happen in Benghazi on September 11, 2012: Despite advanced warning of the attack, and despite urgent, detail rich phone calls from the CIA/former Navy SEAL operatives under attack, and despite real time video feeds of events unfolding on the ground,* no one came to help. No one
Continue readingThe Anchoress has noticed something interesting: The Benghazi cover-up is so huge that the drive-by media isn’t doing it’s usual lying, puffing, and obfuscation. Instead, it’s fallen completely silent. It is pretending that Benghazi never happened. Sherlock Holmes certainly understood that, when wrongdoing is at issue, silence is as significant
Continue readingMatthew Continetti garnered some much deserved praise for his article about the way that sarcasm and insult took over the Democrat party, replacing anything of substance. It all started with the attacks against Bush: The criticism of Bush, of Bush Republicans, and of the war took on a specific character.
Continue readingOver at Breitbart, they noticed something interesting: The Washington Post scrubbed positive reviews for the moving Hating Breitbart (which, predictably enough, the WaPo hated). Now, there may be a good reason for this type of censorship but., so far, the WaPo hasn’t offered one. That is, it hasn’t offered a
Continue readingWe all know crazy people. I don’t mean the kind of crazy people who believe that cats rule the world and that Satan is living in the begonia. I mean the people with personality disorders who assiduously work to shape reality so that it matches their own warped and damaged
Continue readingRadiolab is a show produced for a New York public radio station. That tells you everything you need to know about Radiolab’s political orientation. The other day, Radiolab broadcast a story about the Hmong (American allies during the Vietnam War), their suffering at Communist hands when the Americans pulled out,
Continue readingWhen the Left talks about “the children,” they only mean certain children. For example, the useful idiots working at the New York Times have never waxed lyrical about the Israeli children killed in pizza parlors, in their homes, or at bus stops. They’ve never expressed concern about the thousands of
Continue readingThe chronology has been simple. On September 11, 2012, a mob attacked our Cairo embassy, which promptly apologized to the mob. Also on September 11, 2012, a well armed Al Qaeda group attacked our consulate in Benghazi and murdered four people, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was there as the
Continue readingWe all know Michael Ramirez as one of the most talented editorial cartoonists ever. (And no, I’m not exaggerating when I say that.) I happen to know from going to a luncheon at which he was the guest that he is also a delightful speaker. Now we all get to
Continue readingJohn Nolte doesn’t dispute the polling numbers. They are what they are. What he disputes, however, is the post convention narrative that the MSM is spinning. It’s a con, to elevate Obama’s convention bounce into an inevitable victory, he says, and then proceeds to explain why. This makes for heartening
Continue readingYesterday, the New York Times ran a long article detailing Valerie Jarrett’s role in the White House. It was not a flattering piece, since it made Jarrett look like Obama’s puppet master and, worse, it made Obama look like a weak and willing puppet. Today, the New York Times has
Continue readingA liberal friend sent me the editorial that the New York Times published practically within seconds of Mitt ending his speech, and asked me to try to defend Mitt from the editorial’s charges. Nothing easier, says I. Here’s a nice little Fisking of the New York Times’ alternate reality: Mitt
Continue readingYesterday, I did a post in which I said that, while the HuffPo was crowing about an alleged Paul Ryan, I caught David Axelrod red-handed in a repeatedly disproved lie. I had my doubts about whether Ryan had lied — it’s not his style — but that’s not where I
Continue readingThis one didn’t make the original post, because the malfeasor isn’t a politician, she’s a journalist. Nevertheless, Elspeth Reeve deserves to be called out for her lies. UPDATE: Welcome, Ace of Spades readers! As you’ve probably figured out, Maetenloch gave more meat to the story than I did. The only
