All Hail: Sharpton's Creepy Obama Image
Have a look at the image of President Obama that Al Sharpton repeatedly displayed during a segment of his MSNBC show this evening on the theme that the Obama agenda on immigration and gun control is gaining traction.

'We Are Undocumented And Unafraid, Because This Is What We Learned In
The most disturbing thing is that she's probably right . . .

Ann Coulter Column: Rubio's Amnesty Would Be Disaster for the GOP
Apart from finding out that Barack Obama did far worse in his re-election than nearly any other incumbent who won re-election, the only thing that perked me up after Nov. 6 was coming across a Time magazine published after the 2004 election, when George W. Bush won a second term.
In the mirror image of all the 2012 post-election analyses, the Democrats were said to be finished, out of ideas,…
Morning Joe: 'Ignore' Rubio's Remarks To Rush—Just Taking Care of Ba
Marco Rubio's tough talk to Rush Limbaugh yesterday about no immigration deal being done unless certain language on border security, etc. is included? Ignore it.

Politico: Amnesty 'Right Thing To Do', But Easy to 'Demagogue
It's a classic MSM tactic: delegitimize opposition to a liberal proposal. Suggest that there can be no principled objections, only base motives.
Take the current proposals on "the pathway to citizenship"—AKA amnesty—being floated. On today's Morning Joe, Politico co-founder and executive editor Jim VandeHei proclaimed that it was probably "the right thing to do," but fretted that it…
