Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
We live in different universes: Liberal: They still don’t know why he shot all those soldiers. Me: Of course they do. Liberal: What are you talking about? Me: Come on. They know it has to do with his . . . . Liberal (interrupting): Are you saying that he’s a
Continue readingI’m rather enjoying Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, who is proving himself to be an idiot without any savant attached. When questioned about the tea party protests, Gibbs logically focused on the handful of signs that liked the current administration to a Nazi regime (logical because he is trying to discredit
Continue readingLast week, I commented on Thomas Frank’s weird defense of Obama’s attack on the media. Basically, Frank’s whole defense was that Nixon was worse. I don’t know about you, but to say “my guy isn’t as bad as the guy I, a liberal, consider the worst, most paranoid president ever,”
Continue readingAs far as I can tell, Frank’s primary defense of Obama’s attack on Fox News is that Obama isn’t as bad as Nixon’s attacks on the press were. Given the low esteem in which liberals hold Nixon, I think we can safely call that damning with faint praise. (Or, perhaps,
Continue readingIt’s no wonder CNN felt compelled to take the SNL “Obama does nothing” skit seriously. Wolf Blitzer, who deconstructed all the “lies” in the comedy sketch, inadvertently created a little comedy sketch of his own, when he made an utterly pathetic showing on Jeopardy: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcWs-MFOQWQ[/youtube] There are no defenses adequate
Continue readingGateway Pundit explains just how badly the blog “Jumping in Pools” can burn you. It’s all of a piece with the fake Chamber of Commerce press conference. Once Leftists and puckish anarchists make truth impossible to find, people will give up on looking.
Continue readingTwenty-four hours after the fact, the AP finally figured out that, maybe, just maybe, it’s worth reporting that the White House tried to freeze out a news organization that challenges it, and was stopped only because other news organizations realized that, if they let this one pass, they would forever
Continue readingCharles Krauthammer identifies the enormous damage the Obami risk doing as they attack and try to destroy national entities associated with conservatives (the Chamber of Commerce, talk radio, Fox news): There’s nothing illegal about such search-and-destroy tactics. Nor unconstitutional. But our politics are defined not just by limits of legality
Continue readingKudos to the major news networks for refusing to allow the Obama administration to blackball Fox: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlMILRyDRdM[/youtube] Here’s how Pastor Martin Niemöller would have seen it, if he was alive today: First they came for Fox News, and we did not speak out—because we did not have openly conservative commentators
Continue readingSadie sent me a great trio of stories today, and I want to pass them on to you: The UN wants to make sure that the Western nation’s efforts to protect themselves against cross-dressing jihadists (you know, those guys who don burqas to hide bombs) don’t offend transgendered individuals (who
Continue readingI tend to check out the Yahoo! News aggregator periodically, because it’s a good way to see what the Yahoo algorithm decides is “popular.” I’m pretty sure a computer program generates the images that go with the tagged news stories, and sometimes the computer makes some very bizarre choices, that
Continue readingI liked the way Jennifer Rubin tied together the “sort of a God” MSM meme and the White House’s undignified but effective advertisements for . . . I mean, attacks against Fox: After all, it [the attack mode] directly contradicts the stereotype of conservatives and the glorified image of Obama.
Continue readingI happen to know, because I gave notice here at this blog and because I’m in touch with the organizers, that large numbers of conservatives and independents were planning on protesting Barack Obama’s appearance in San Francisco. I also know, again because I noted it here, that Obama was afraid
Continue readingYou’ve already heard about the fact that, in order to block any chance of Rush having an ownership interest in an NFL team, liberal talking heads (including Al Sharpton) and the MSM attributed manifestly false quotations to Rush, in order to accuse him of being a grotesque racist. However, before
Continue readingYup. Yahoo felt compelled to help Obama out by fact-checking a Saturday Night Life sketch that noted Obama’s inability to carry through any legislative agenda. First, here’s the SNL sketch: I just have to fisk the Yahoo story, because it’s insanely stupid: This weekend “Saturday Night Live” opened with Fred
