Renew America columnist Jim Sediak writes a column entitled "Rely On Normal People, Not Experts". In his diatribe (about a particular sex education book which "normal people" find offensive), he vents: That’s how horrible this book is. Normal people just know that. Everyone knows that — everyone except the "experts." We seem to have become a nation of so-called experts. … Read More
The Swiftboating Of Ray McGovern
Shorter Hindrocket: "Ray McGovern, the guy who challenged Rumsfeld on national television, is a nutty moonbat who’s a babbling psychopath. He’s like Cindy Sheehan with a beard. He’s crazy and deranged. And so is the media when it says that people like me are trying to vilify McGover (who, by the way, is totally mental)." Yes, this was predictable.
Marie Jon’s Romance Tips
Social conservative Marie Jon over at Renew America pens some advice for women: Forty years of feminist philosophy has brought severe reproof for just about everything the male does. If we listen to the feminists, man is evil, stupid, and unjustly tyrannical. When the truth is that women are evil. To make this point, Marie links to an article entitled … Read More
“America Is Becoming Mexico”: Kaye Grogan
Kaye’s latest Renew America column is a masterwork of non-sensical paranoia and outrage. We think Kaye has been sniffing glue. Or something: If you are a born American — you don’t have the right to be offended. She’s right. We checked the Constitution; it ain’t there. Now if you are from another country, especially if you are in America illegally, … Read More
What A Pissing Contest About Book Sales Says About Approaches To Truth
It started yesterday with this report on Drudge, proclaiming that Crashing The Gate, the newly-released book by lefty bloggers Markos Zuniga ("Kos" of Daily Kos) and Jerome Armstrong (of MyDD), was doing terribly in terms of book sales. According to Drudge’s source, Nielson’s Bookscan, CTG has sold only 3,630 copies. In response, Kos pointed out that Bookscan only tabulates books … Read More
Feminism Is Dead!
The good news comes from Renew America columnist Nathan Tabor, who also happens to be running for NC State Senate in our district. Let’s take a closer look. After years of holding America a virtual hostage, old-fashioned radical feminism appears to be just about dead. Hostage to what? But don’t take my word for it. We weren’t planning to. No … Read More
Renew America Snippets
Great moments in right wing punditry abound at Renew America. These are actual quotes from columnists there, from the past few days: Barbara Stock on immigration: "These illegal immigrants say they are coming here for a ‘better life’ just as the people on the Titanic were doing. But there are two major differences between the Mexican immigrants and those doomed … Read More
What’s In A Name?
Noting the rise of video podcasts, conservative "journalist" and blogger Michelle Malkin has put together a "conservative Internet broadcast network". The name of this venture? Hot Air. Yup. Good title. There’s even a regular segment called "Vent with Michelle Malkin". The irony is reaching epidemic purportions. It is Maklin, more than anyone else, who screeds daily about the "angry left". … Read More
Shorter Renew America
Yes, we read "Renew America" columnists so you don’t have to… Shorter Melanie Mills: "A friend and me — we, like, went to this abortion clinic, right? And we saw some really bad fashion." Shorter Lisa Fabrizio: "Hey, if I could wallow around in a trough of the dust and ash from Ground Zero, I’d do that, too." Shorter Matt … Read More
Doug Giles: Reprobate
Townhall columnist Doug Giles yesterday reprinted an obscene column he originally wrote in 2004. It’s entitled "A Christian Can Be A Christian Or A Liberal, But He Can’t Be Both". It begins this way: Can a Christian be a liberal? Short answer: no. There is no way a Christian can buy into neo-liberal ideology and be faithful to the bigger-than-Dallas … Read More
Just Where The Heck . . . Is Kaye Grogan’s Brain?
Kaye’s back again this week at Renew America, still griping about illegal immigrants (for the fourth week in a row). She’s obviously tried to do some thinking about solutions. Her latest opus is entitled "Just Where The Heck . . . Is The Back Of The Line?". What kind of lousy fence do we have built alongside the border anyway? … Read More
Nathan Tabor Blames The Media
We are so fortunate to have this goon running for the NC State Senate in our district. If nothing else, he’ll give us reams of satirable material for a long time to come: To hear the mainstream media tell it, Katie Couric will be the savior of CBS News. Oh, we don’t think they’re saying that at NBC. She’s perky, … Read More
Staging The News?
Michelle Malkin is up in arms because (according to her sources) NBC’s Dateline is looking for Muslim men to show up at public events with hidden cameras. It’s all for a story about anti-Muslim sentiments in America. Michelle writes: The apparent "sting" involves targeting Nascar and other sporting events. ‘Cause that’s presumably where the fair and balanced NBC news staff … Read More
Wingut Punditry
Shorter Phyllis Schlafly: "Men who beat up their wives shouldn’t be put in jail, because then they won’t be able to take care of their wives like God intended." Shorter Marie Jon: "The mere presence of brown-skinned people hurts me emotionally." Shorter Nathan Tabor: "I’m going to take a bold stand here, and urge that we not vote for Bill … Read More
Kaye Grogan’s Email To President Bush
Kaye Grogan sent an email to President Bush today. You can read the whole thing here, but here’s a summary. Kaye starts off by complaining about illegal immigration: Our people — especially the elderly, are suffering in their own country, so therefore it is "unacceptable" that we as American taxpayers should have to bear the brunt of a country like … Read More
