Larry King Live: Jesse Ventura, Actor D.L.Hughley Call Republicans 'Nazis'
Warner Todd Huston (09/04/08)
It always comes down to this one, doesn't it? Leftists and fringe politicos calling Republicans "Nazis." Well, the "N" word was once again unleashed against John McCain's Republican Convention on September 2 during CNN's Larry King Live show. Actor D.L. Hughley and Independent former Governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura both went for that shopworn epithet as King discussed the Convention.
Let's Take A Look At Campbell Brown's Family
Dave Gibson (09/04/08)
A few days ago, CNN anchor Campbell Brown went on a very personal attack against Republican Vice-Presidential candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds was giving Brown an interview, when she decided to place the focus of the conversation on the Governor's 17-year old daughter Bristol, who is pregnant.

AhMADinejad
Alan Caruba (09/04/08)
Mamoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, was bouncing off the walls in August. Hardly a day went by without his getting crazier and crazier about Zionism, Israel, and Jews in general. The last guy who talked like this was Adolf Hitler and he started World War Two.
Editorial: The MSM Has Openly Declared They Are Socialists
Editor (09/04/08)
It's their option (not an implied right). Perhaps a minor issue is that real Americans kinda lean toward some Socialist schemes, but outright Socialism and the associated heavy handed totalitarian government ain't cool.
Vicious Rumors Indicate We May Have Presidential Campaign
Malcolm Hedges (09/04/08)
There certainly is no campaign as of yet, most everything is personal attacks and vague references to something referred to as 'issues'
Democrat Operatives Vow to Cause Palin to Resign
Sher Zieve (09/03/08)
Appearing on Fox News this morning with Megan Kelly, former LT. Governor of Maryland Michael Steele advised that he has viewed emails from Democrat operatives - possibly affiliated with the Obama campaign - stating that, until she resigns, they will continue a non-stop smear campaign against Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin. It would appear that Obama either cannot or is not inclined to reel in his radicals. The latest, reported yesterday and confirmed by FNC this morning, is that leftist Democrats have released Palin’s Social Security number to the public. And their leftist alphabet network media continue the attempt to disembowel Palin with their own non-stop attacks against Palin and her family. In my lifetime, I have never seen such a blatantly anti-female campaign - and this from the party that claims “tolerance.”
'Who Vetted Obama?'
Cliff Kincaid (09/03/08)
The Washington Post reported that John McCain’s vetting process for picking Governor Sarah Palin included an FBI background check. Other reports dispute this. But when did the FBI investigate Obama? Who vetted him?
Media's Palin Derangement Syndrome: Suddenly, Old Media Thinks They are DNA Technicians
Warner Todd Huston (09/03/08)
John McCain's campaign spokesman is reporting that the media has deluged the campaign with demands that it provide DNA samples to "prove" that baby Trig is the true offspring of vice presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin. Imagine the effrontery of this demand? Imagine the ignorance and outrageousness of this attack that Governor Palin is receiving at the hands of the Old Media? Worse, realize that this storm has been raised by gutter websites like DailyKos and the DemocraticUnderground! The media is not only indulging in the lowest of attacks they are allowing the most extreme, unhinged of the far left to dictate the direction of their coverage. The Old Media are worse than dancing puppets for the hatemongers on the left.
The Upcoming Election Proves Division in America
Kevin Roeten (09/03/08)
The division in the US is getting wider instead of smaller. One party is for what it claims to be a right to abortion. One party tries everything it can to stop abortion. The quote from Jesus (Matt 10:34): “For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law…” Jesus said He came not to create harmony, but strife and division at times.

Houston paper buries lead in sob-sister story about illegal's suicide
John David Powell (09/03/08)
The lead is one of the hardest, yet most essential, elements to a news story. It sets the tone for the article and captures the reader’s interest by using a minimum number of words. And speaking of minimum, the good lead offers, at minimum, the meat of the story: the who, the what, the when, and the where. The why and the how come later.
Ethanol: Another Green Scam Adopted By Government Elitists And Idiots!
Malcolm Hedges (09/02/08)

John McCain's Trifecta on the Road to Victory
Guest Author: Nina May (09/02/08)
John McCain has just experienced a political Trifecta garnering the coveted conservative base that is absolutely necessary for any Republican to win an election. It is the very oxygen of the party in much the same way liberals are the core of the Democratic Party.

John McCain's Inside Passage to the White House
Bonnie Chernin Rogoff (09/02/08)
If John McCain hoped for an off-season cruise in November, he just may get it if recent polling data is correct. Zogby International reported that since he announced Sarah Palin as his V.P. running mate, John McCain is now leading Barack Obama 47% to 45%. A previous Gallup poll taken before the announcement had Obama leading McCain 49% to 41%. Note: This polling data appeared in a Wikipedia article early on Sunday, August 31. Curiously, the poll results were later deleted even though the data was correct.

Russia has announced to the world that they don't have a problem with a new cold war.
''More Milwaukee Voter Fraud... Name that Party?'
Warner Todd Huston (09/02/08)
Milwaukee has discovered some more voter fraud with 10 more voter registration workers are being investigated by Wisconsin authorities. Fittingly, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel covered the story in its paper on August 29. Unfittingly, the Journal Sentinel forgot one, tiny aspect of the story... that the voter fraud was perpetrated by Democrats. In fact, one of the organizations, ACORN, is intimately linked with Barack Obama.
Democrat Presidential Hopefuls Admit They'll Try to Con Americans
Liberals Really Were Spying for the Soviets

last seven years, from 1998 to 2005."
Two Very Different Tickets
JB Williams (09/02/08)
Two Very Different Visions and Two Very Different Strategies - With a multiracial candidate on one ticket and a female on the other, no matter what happens this November, history will be made in this election cycle. But these two tickets could not be any more different than they are - and as a result, the two campaign strategies are equally different.
'Will Israel Strike Iran Without US Assistance?'
Guest Author: J. D. Longstreet (09/02/08)
"Israel will not agree to allow Iran to achieve nuclear weapons and will take whatever means are necessary to prevent Teheran from achieving its nuclear goals, the government recently decided in a special discussion." (From: The Israeli Insider)
McCain Names A Woman Of Action
Doug Patton (09/02/08)
Here is the statement John McCain should put out right now and stick to for the rest of this campaign: "I believe Sarah Palin and Barack Obama are both qualified to be vice president. The Democrats just have their ticket upside down."
As Goes Missouri, So Goes The Election!
Doug Edelman (09/02/08)
For 104 years, the winner of Missouri’s electoral votes has gone on to win the presidency in every case except 1956, when Missouri voted (by a very slim margin) for Adlai Stevenson, a popular Governor of neighboring Illinois. Missouri’s status as a Bellwether is even cited on the University of Missouri’s website(1):

Nathan Tabor (09/02/08)

Form and Substance
Geoff Metcalf (09/02/08)
“Important principles may, and must, be inflexible.” --Abraham Lincoln The selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as the GOP Vice Presidential nominee is brilliant. Strategically and tactically, she is the perfect compliment to Senator John McCain, and “perfect storm” for the perpetually whiny Democrats.
'Can Democrats Regain Control Of The Party And Eject The Progressive Demercrats?'
Malcolm Hedges (09/01/08)
Most of the Demercrats are aging 60's hippies and various other Radical Leftists. The Democratic Party has always been Left leaning, the Demercrats have transformed it into a Radical Progressive Socialist lead machine.

Pros and Cons from the Left and Right fill the media. Nothing much more than quick reaction at this point.
Sick of Journalists That Don't Stand for the Nat'l Anthem
Warner Todd Huston (09/01/08)
Many Americans have a negative image of journalists and it is one that is growing in believability and acceptance every day, especially as the New Media begins to attract more and more attention from the American people. This image of the aloof, even anti-American, journalist is becoming rote with more people all the time. Sadly, the journalists themselves seem to be uninterested in countering this appalling public image, imagining themselves above being considered mere Americans. On this subject, a recent op ed by Mark Fitzgerald of Editor & Publisher(1) warns journalists that perception is often truth and that the penchant that journalists have for not standing proudly and patriotically during the National Anthem does not help their image any -- good advice that will be roundly ignored by journalists the country over.

Playing God with "Endangered" Species
Alan Caruba (08/31/08)
In mid-August Barack Obama had this to say about a White House decision regarding the Endangered Species Act: “After over 30 years of successfully protecting our nation’s most endangered wildlife like the bald eagle, we should be looking for ways to improve it, not weaken it.”
'Fox and Friends Program Denigrates Governor Sarah Palin?'
Sher Zieve (08/31/08)
Did anyone else watch FNC’s Fox and Friends Saturday? Did you hear what I heard? Was I temporarily in some alternate universe? Were any of you as shocked as I was over Alyson Camarata’s almost non-stop belittling of Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK)? Ms. Camarata droned on and on asking questions about Palin’s experience and over and over again mocked her by saying ‘she used to hunt before she went to school’ and ’she used to hunt moose and caribou before she went to school’. At Saturday’s program end, two pretty obviously leftist blogger guests were interviewed (one of whom said her mother had “dated Joe Biden”) when one of the bloggers said that Palin now had the “sympathy vote” because she was raising a Down’s syndrome child. The bloggers, Camarata and her co-host then proceeded to laugh at this comment! In my opinion this was pretty ugly and went way beyond the pale of television commentary. Note: The laughter very plainly and succinctly indicated agreement with the Down’s syndrome comment. This was an unconscionable performance.
Since Media Won't Help, Time for McCain to Really Exploit His Stance on Iraq
Warner Todd Huston (08/31/08)
Some how, the Old Media has missed the good news on Iraq. On August 27, the Rasmussen polling organization published a poll(1) that showed American confidence is at its highest level ever in support of the War on Terror since they've begun tracking in January of 2004. This poll got little notice by the Old Media, of course, but it illustrates an issue that McCain should exploit to his benefit -- especially after Obama's acceptance speech.
Pope Pesoli: The vicar of pro-abortion

'Editorial: Can The Republic Survive The Greens?'
Editor (08/31/08)
Greens and their buddies in Congress have managed to seriously damage our national security and generally raise havoc with our economy. This is their avowed agenda and so they must be given reluctant credit for progress.
Demercrats Getting Ahead Of Themselves
Malcolm Hedges (08/31/08)
Having convinced themselves that Commissar President Obama will be crowned in January and they will have a stranglehold on the House and Senate, the Demercrat 'totalitarian police state' agenda is already starting to pop up around the country.
Obama and Domestic Terrorist: Ad Campaign Examines the Relationship
Jim Kouri CPP (08/30/08)
While GOP Presidential hopeful John McCain introduced his new running-mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, American Issues Project wrapped up its first phase of a television advertising and issue campaign, which called into question the long-standing relationship between Barack Obama and unrepentant 1960's domestic terrorist, William Ayers.
The Religion Vote
Miguel Guanipa (08/30/08)
I do not feel that I am alone is suspecting that most politicians, pundits, and even some theologians are loath to venture a guess as to what demographic group is being referred to when the media insouciantly bandies about the phrase “The Religion Vote”. Still my curiosity was picked when I heard that Obama and McCain were earnestly infusing their campaign strategies with pointed initiatives to court the nebulous amalgam of voters presumably enveloped in this alleged, all-inclusive compendium.
Not Only What You Believe But Why
Guest Author: J.J. Jackson (08/30/08)
Recently I have been having some interesting conversations with people I know about political ideologies and the upcoming election in November. This is true especially now as many on the left are getting antsy with Barack Obama and his backtracking on some issues, refining his position on others and a perceived move to the middle on even more. But do not worry Barack Obama supporters, he has avowed and reaffirmed that he is a staunch liberal "progressive" just to ease your sensitive minds. He will maintain and even expand the Nanny State to help you cope with the trials in life you are incapable of dealing with. So when you see him talking about things like continuing President Bush’s faith based initiatives and refining his position on Iraq, fear not.
Reuters Cover Up: Bashing the U.S. and Ignoring Proof That Famous Spies Were Guilty
Warner Todd Huston (08/30/08)
In New York, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein has ordered the release of eight more grand jury transcripts from the famous 1951 spy case that led to the conviction of the husband and wife pro-Soviet spy team of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Reuters reports this story(1) as if there is some cloud of doubt still hanging over the Rosenberg's conviction despite that their guilt is no longer debatable. Yet here is Reuters giving cover to those who stubbornly wish to cast doubt on the U.S. prosecution of the Rosenbergs. It also gives Reuters and U.S. detractors the opportunity once again smear America by raising their favorite Cold War boogie man, Joe McCarthy.
