Occupiers Hang With White Supremacist, Tell Him “You Really Rock Man”

IC News — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:33:10 +0000

Where is the mainstream media coverage of this? An Arizona white supremacist with ties to neo-nazis shows up with his group at Occupy Phoenix in solidarity with the Occupy movement. One of the Occupiers interviews him in an almost 10-minute long video, never bothering to reveal that he is a white supremacist. At one point [...]

If Fox Fails Us

Bruce Walker — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:15:51 +0000

Conservatives can survive the end of Fox News as we know it is because conservatives have proven to be expert communications guerrillas. Over the last decade conservatives have enjoyed Fox News, a national news network which gave conservatives a fair shake and which was willing to expose the bigotry of the establishment media towards conservatism. Yet [...]

The Race Card, or How to Deal a Sucker a Losing Hand

John Harris — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:36:54 +0000

What I learned from living in the South and working at a historically black college. In a post on January 27, Brent Bozell remarked upon the incoherence of our nation’s attitude toward race—if one may attribute a single attitude to the entire nation; and, of course, Bozell’s point is that one can’t. On the one [...]

Is Mitt Minding The Store?

Aaron Goldstein — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:42:30 +0000

Mitt Romney’s performance in last Thursday’s GOP debate in Jacksonville was widely praised for his assertiveness against Newt Gingrich and it may have effectively neutralized the former House Speaker’s victory five days earlier in South Carolina. If Romney earns a decisive victory in Florida, it could prove to be the turning point in winning the [...]

Brian Ross is a Dope… a Diva he is Not

Dr. Phil Taverna — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:32:39 +0000

Obama has been hiding stuff for about five years. How come goons like Ross are not out there interviewing Obama’s classmates? ABC has always been part of the liberal media entourage. It reminded me of the days of Dan Rather when he saw evidence where there was no evidence. That’s when the right side of [...]

CIA Officer, Author Charged with Revealing Covert Officers’ Identity

Jim Kouri — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:26:52 +0000

CIA Senior Operations Officer John Kiriakou allegedly disclosed classified information, including photos from Guantanomo, to a journalist who then disclosed that information to a defense team investigator for the detainees. "Prior to publication of his book, The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror, [John] Kiriakou submitted a draft manuscript in July 2008 [...]

Times Poll: Now You See It Now You Don’t. Does it Really Reflect the True Economy?

Dr. Phil Taverna — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:17:12 +0000

The idiot governor of Maryland is trying to get the name the Bush Recession to stick. And as usual the liberals don’t need facts. In October 2010 the Times had another slanted poll by only unemployed folks. And just recently they had their regular poll. The liberals are back to their phony right sided [...]

The Drudge Distort

Matt Barber — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:00:50 +0000

I’ve got news for Matt Drudge, Ann Coulter and the rest of the establishment GOP: As 2010 proved and as I believe 2012 will show again, conservatives don’t shine to being told who our nominee is going to be. You’re being manipulated. A well respected, highly influential news source has cast aside all journalistic integrity [...]

Has The American Conservative Gone Liberal?

Dan Phillips — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:26:24 +0000

The general gestalt sense in paleo and even mainstream circles has been that TAC is trying hard to appeal to establishment critics of conservatism, left, right and center. It is no longer discernibly paleoconservative and employs non-conservatives. Recently, The American Conservative (TAC) brought Noah Millman on board as a blogger. By Millman’s own admission, he [...]

Conservatives Get Stupid, Again

Michael Shannon — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:44:33 +0000

The Washington Post is back to: Liberals = Smart and Conservatives = Dumb. Conservative Christians are "poor, educated and easily led."

What a let down. Here conservative Republicans were so close to respectability and even acceptance in polite society. In Prince William County, VA where I live, conservatives convinced themselves we’d come far from [...]
