MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts: GOP Has ‘Sour Grapes’ Over Fast and Furi

It appears as though Thomas Roberts has joined chorus of MSNBC hosts jumping to the defense of embattled Attorney General Eric Holder over the Fast and Furious scandal.  In an interview with Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), Roberts suggested that Rep. Darryl Issa’s (R-Calif.) investigation into Fast and Furious was simply an example of the GOP having ‘sour grapes’ and looking for an ‘ax to grind.’…

WaPo Tells Parable of Activist Nun to Slam Catholic Hierarchy

Washington Post writers have a habit of twisting history into political parables in order to spin current events. The Catholic Church is the latest target of the Post’s efforts to rewrite history.  “She the People” columnist Melinda Henneberger profiled the life of ex-nun, artist and activist Sister Corita Kent in a June 19 blog post titled: “Before there were nuns on a bus, there was Sister…

New York Times, Friend of the (Government) Worker

The New York Times proved itself friend of the worker – the government worker, anyway – in Wednesday's front-page story by Shaila Dewan and Motoko Rich, "Layoffs Hitting Public Workers; Recovery Is Hurt – Tight Rein On Spending – Government Jobs Down by 657,000 Since '09 as Aid Is Cut." Companies have been slowly adding workers for more than two years. But pink slips are still going out in a…

Chuck Norris Column: Can Obama Be Re-elected on Broken Promises

Do you remember when President George H.W. Bush made the promise not to raise taxes ("Read my lips: No new taxes") but unfortunately was talked into raising taxes and it cost him in his bid for a second term? If President Bush No. 41 could lose a re-election by breaking one promise, how can President Barack Obama win a second term when he has broken a truckload of promises?

Bill Maher Calls GOP 'Party of the Apes' As He Attacks Allen West

HBO's political talk star Bill Maher (the million-dollar Obama super-PAC backer) took to his blog to trash black Rep. Allen West in the same article in which he called the GOP the “Party of the Apes.” Don’t think Maher isn’t trying to draw attention to himself by being edgy. Last November, he used the same "rise of the apes" language on ABC in reference to Mitt Romney and Herman Cain. Maher…

Walter E. Williams Column: Racial Double Standards

Back in 2009, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said we were "a nation of cowards" on matters of race. Permit me to be brave and run a few assertions by you just to see whether we're on the same page. There should be two standards for civilized conduct: one for whites, which is higher, and another for blacks, which is lower. In other words, in the name of justice and fair play, blacks should…

Matthews Slimes GOP as Racist for Going After Holder: An 'Ethnic' 'Sto

Liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews on Tuesday slimed the House GOP investigating Attorney General Eric Holder as racist, insisting that the possible contempt charges over Fast and Furious had an "ethnic" feel.

MSNBC Guest Insists Neil Munro Motivated by Hatred of Non-white Immigr

Any old liberal journalist can charge Daily Caller reporter Neil Munro for being a racist for rudely interrupting President Obama during a press conference. It takes a hard-core lefty to delve deeper to diagnose the Irish-born journalist as a bigot for, well, questioning Obama's policy vis-a-vis how it harms the job prospects of American citizens. During a segment on the June 19 edition of…
