For those of you visiting here for the first time and looking for the pieces I mentioned on Hannity tonight, click The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010 and Blame Righty: A condensed history. Yesterday, Doug Powers pointed you to the Boone County, MO Democrats’ gun-themed flyer that the civility police seem to [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Contrary to some opinions, I’m willing to bet Sarah Palin eventually comes out of this politically stronger than ever (even the New York Times is backpedaling like Lance Armstrong careening down Filbert Street with broken brake cables). Below is Sean Hannity’s interview with Palin Monday night. If she does in fact [...]

That didn’t last long. After exhorting the nation to steer away from discourse that “has become so sharply polarized,” President Obama and his administration will mark Martin Luther King Day by framing Obamacare as a “civil rights victory” (which means if you oppose it, you’re akin to slavery proponents, as Harry Reid posited earlier this [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Welcome to Bizzaro World — even the local station couldn’t help but make note of the sad irony. From KGUN9 in Tucson: ABC News Anchor Christiane Amanpour hosted a remarkable gathering of victims, heroes, witnesses and first responders. It was the first time most of them had been together since Jared [...]

Image via Zazzle On Monday, as the progressive smear machine worked overtime to pin the horrific Tucson massacre on conservatives and to squelch political opposition by targeting Tea Party/limited-government rhetoric, I published “The progressive “climate of hate:” An illustrated primer, 2000-2010.” Today’s column provides another primer for the amnesia-wracked blamestream media on just how widespread [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Pima County Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik, who admits to having no case-specific facts at this point and that the investigation is ongoing, has nonetheless repeatedly claimed Saturday’s murders were caused by those on the right who fan political flames. Fox News’ Megyn Kelly interviewed Dupnik, who once again said the same [...]

For those still catching up on all the horrific Tucson massacre weekend news, here’s a quick, link-filled summation of mentally unstable suspect Jared Loughner’s life and times, according to friends, family, classmates, teachers, and law enforcement: 9/11 Truther. Creep. Left-wing psycho nihilist. “Never really political.” Apparent grievance-monger against the US military. Dream freak. Delinquent. Pothead. [...]

The Tucson massacre ghouls who are now trying to criminalize conservatism have forced our hand. They need to be reminded. You need to be reminded. Confront them. Don’t be cowed into silence. And don’t let the media whitewash the sins of the hypocritical Left in their naked attempt to suppress the law-abiding, constitutionally-protected, peaceful, vigorous [...]

“Please please please…”

**Written by Doug Powers And the dud frustration bombs keep being thrown: Many Democrats have blamed unfounded cases of racism for their aversion to the growing tea party movement. But now, the new House Minority Whip, Steny Hoyer, D-Md., presents the latest presumption about tea partiers: they must come from dysfunctional families: There are a [...]

Sorry. Can’t work up much interest or passion about the RNC debate that just kicked off in D.C. this afternoon. Am I the only one? You can watch it here if you care and share your thoughts in comments or e-mail. The reason it’s so difficult to muster up interest in these insider horse races [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Who better to understand and make decisions on what’s in the best interest of the private sector than a member of Congress who forces himself to live in it as much as possible? I know many politicians find that concept more horrifying than getting mouth-to-mouth resuscitation from Henry Waxman, but at [...]

On December 16, 1773, the taxpayers of Boston had had enough. The Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum website recounts the story: On the cold evening of December 16, 1773, a large band of patriots, disguised as Mohawk Indians, burst from the South Meeting House with the spirit of freedom burning in their eyes. The [...]

Yes, I would like to know where all the civility police are to point fingers at Washington class-warfare demagogues for stoking dangerous hatred and violence-inciting, insane rage. CapeCodOnline.com reports: Police and fire officials are investigating an arson fire in Sandwich that has a disturbing similarity with a suspicious incident in Barnstable. In both cases, the [...]

As you all know, President George W. Bush is on his book/rehabilitation tour — hitting every MSM and cable news show from the Today Show to Hannity, plus Oprah, Rush Limbaugh, and beyond. His candor, decency, self-effacement, and clear love of country stand in stark contrast to the current antagonist-in-chief at the White House, so [...]

This is exactly why I said to take his olive branch and shove it. Three days after the shellacking that shook America, President Obama’s idea of “taking responsibility” is to blame voters for not understanding his message. See, it’s not that he didn’t get it. It’s that we didn’t get it. And off to Asia [...]

**Written by Doug Powers President Obama in late January of 2009: Challenged by one Republican senator over the contents of the [economic stimulus] package, the new president, according to participants, replied: “I won.” [...] With those two words — “I won” — the Democratic president let the Republicans know that debate has been put to [...]

Here’s my post-election column. I’ll continue to update the results post here as we wait on key AK, WA, CO, AZ, and Florida returns. The grass-roots conservative midterm message: No surrender, no compromise, no capitulation. Share you thoughts! *** Take Your Olive Branch and Shove It, Democrats by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 On [...]

It ain’t over ’til it’s over, but the Eastern MSM is projecting that Soros mini-me John Hickenlooper will win the Colorado gubernatorial race. WaPo reporting with 10 percent of precincts in: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has won the Colorado governor’s race after a campaign in which the GOP nominee imploded and a third-party candidate made [...]

KY GOP Senator-elect Rand Paul just finished delivering a fantastic victory speech focusing on fiscal responsibility, the Tea Party tidal wave, restoration of the Constitution, and American exceptionalism. “America is exceptional, but not inherently so. America is exceptional because we embraced freedom.” Paul assailed dependence on government, asserted that prosperity is created by individuals, not [...]

Scroll for updates…make sure to scroll all the way down, last update 3:39am Eastern… Are you ready to rumble? Doug Powers and I are on duty tonight — and we’ll both be chomping on popcorn and sipping our Slurpees (or in my case, Sonic cherry limeades…the next best thing) as the results of the 2010 [...]

I’m sure corruptocrat AG Eric Holder has already dispatched his Democrat voter protection force down to Delaware. Smiling, cheering Republicans are scaaaaary! Via The Hill: Delaware’s state Democratic Party is claiming that supporters of Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell are creating problems at some polling locations in the state. This, as the campaign of Democrat [...]

My column today pays tribute to some of the conservative women on the campaign trail who have not only weathered the nastiest ad hominem attacks, but who have risen above them with amazing grace. Is it any wonder that women are abandoning the Democrat Party? Readers of this blog have known that women played a [...]

Photo – Jon Humbert After Joy Behar’s “bitch” session on The Spew yesterday, Nevada GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle struck back…with flowers and a cheery note. Via Elizabeth Crum at NRO Battle ’10: No one can accuse Team Angle of not having a healthy sense of humor. In response to Joy Behar’s vicious remarks on [...]

Richard Trumka is at it again. Via the Labor Union Report, the AFL-CIO is attacking 10th amendment activists for their “cultish beliefs” in constitutional government. Their partners in slime? Soros-funded Think Progress, of course: Most cults are based in some sort of skewed spiritual vision or the worship of a charismatic leader, but there is [...]

Meathead

Momentum.

Because they haven’t poured enough of rank-and-file workers’ hard-earned money down the drain, the SEIU Purple Army is burning through another $250,000 attacking Sharron Angle as…yeah, extreme and dangerous. Via The Hill: The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) launched a new television ad Thursday blasting Nevada Republican Sharron Angle. In the ad, Angle is criticized [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Ever since I heard that the NAACP was doing a study on Tea Party racism, I’ve been on pins and needles not knowing which way it would fall. As a Tea Party type, I’ve been anticipating finding out if my pre-assigned racial prejudice is overt, subconscious, genetic or merely intermittent and [...]
