Tim Graham, at the Corner: It’s also fair to push back at reporters who feel free to use sensationalistic terms in their own precincts. How many times have we heard versions of Republicans waging "war on the poor," or "war on women"? From reporters? Um, zero. If it happens with such frequency, why can’t Tim cite some examples? Seriously, I … Read More
Let’s Help John Out
Poor John Hindrocket. Hampered by his own desire to be right, he can’t see the plain evidence in front of his face. Here’s what he writes in his post "Someone’s Misreporting This Story": Yesterday, five former judges of the FISA court testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the National Security Agency’s international terrorist surveillance program. Some observers have alleged … Read More
Nathan Tabor – Hypocrite
Nathan Tabor, today, writing about PETA’s exhibit entitled ""Are Animals the New Slaves?": And it seems that PETA wants to do something else. It’s fully prepared to use the pain of slavery and the Holocaust to try to push its questionable agenda. Yeah, I know what you mean, Nathan. Different issues shouldn’t be conflated as if they are one and … Read More
Kaye Grogan: “Americans Vote Too …Ya Know!”
With immigration being so much in the news lately, and Kaye being a rampant xenophobe, we could have predicted the topic of her column this week — them damn fereners: Our government has become so transparent even a fake crystal ball gazer can read what their next step is going to be. "This, this is the same genuine, magic, authentic … Read More
Paul Explains It All
Here’s Paul at Powerline: According to ABC News, the documents show that the Iraqis were, at a minimum, interested in exploring a potential relationship and prepared to show good faith by broadcasting the speeches of al Ouda, the radical cleric who was also a bin Laden mentor. The documents do not establish that the two parties did in fact enter … Read More
Short Takes From The Right
Shorter Leon Wolf: Even though pro-lifers would never support killing children with handicaps, they should be supporting it, which is why they’re such evil people. Shorter Hindrocket: Dick Cheney is no Clay Aiken. Just thought you should know. Shorter Hindrocket: Soldiers on active duty have always died from suicide, accidents, and so on. So what’s the big deal if they … Read More
Hindrocket Follies
You have to hand it to Powerline’s John Hindrocket, for combining so many lies, hypocrisy, and tortured logic into such a compact sentence. Here he was on CNN’s Reliable Sources this past weekend: KURTZ: OK. Let’s move — let’s move beyond the legal justification. You think the public doesn’t have a right to know because classified information is involved that … Read More
Separate Schools And Sex: Kaye Grogan
It’s Wednesday, which means . . . time to check in on our favorite wingnut columnist — Kaye Grogan. Today’s Renew America column from Kaye: "Maybe It’s Time To Separate Schools From Sex?" Note the question mark. We wonder why Kaye is being so tentative. Oh, well. Let’s dive in the pool of dimentia. Is there a movement on to … Read More
Disrespectful Blacks Should Be Grateful About Slavery And Flock To The GOP
That’s what Adele Ferguson, a columnist at the Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal thinks: Remember Ronald Reagan’s story about the kid who had to shovel a huge pile of manure? He went about it with such joy he was asked why and said, “With all that manure, there’s got to be a pony in there somewhere.” The pony hidden in slavery … Read More
Does Kaye Grogan Read This Blog?
We think she might be. Because her particular gripe today is about character assassinations on the Internet. Which suits us fine — we feel like John Wilkes Booth today. The 212th legislature Assembly # 1327 sponsored by Assemblyman Peter J. Biondi to hold Internet providers responsible for content in New Jersey should set the "code of conduct" for public forums … Read More
Poll Spin
Instapundit cites a new Harris poll for the proposition that the military is the most "trusted" institution in America. I didn’t know what Instapundit meant by that (the military is trusted how?), so I followed his link. It took me to this United States Department of Defense website, where I read the first line of the press release: The military … Read More
Another Corner Kid Is Confused
Tim Graham: I’ve seen Crash, but not Hustle and Flow, but doesn’t it seem there’s great disagreement between Terence Howard’s roles? In one, he’s a slick Hollywood producer, disappointed that white boss Tony Danza makes him dumb down the black character in his sitcom. And in the other, he’s a pimp trying to become a rapper trying to rhyme about … Read More
Hindrocket On The Oscars
After writing that he only caught 20% of the Oscars, Powerline boy John Hindrockt writes: I did, however, happen to catch George Clooney’s little oration on what a fine thing it is that Hollywood is out of touch with America. This, he said, is because Hollywood is so noble; he harkened back to the era when Hollywood was cranking out … Read More
Debbie’s Diatribe About Diatribes
We haven’t heard of Debbie Daniel over at Renew America, but she obviously has a bee in her bonnet: Why don’t we just line folks up and shoot them? Of all the wingnut opening lines, this is the most genuinely honest. Thank you Debbie. It would probably be more humane than the way we "kill and bury" in today’s society. … Read More
Terrorist Strike At UNC? Doubt It
A UNC graduate, with degrees in psychology and philosophy (making the Dean’s List last year) careened his silver Jeep Grand Cherokee through the Pit today about noon, striking nine pedestrians and sending six to UNC Hospitals. A sad story, but not national newsworthy, right? Well, sure, but the graduate’s name is Mohammed Reza Taheriazar. So already, wingnuts like Michelle Malkin … Read More
