Brent Bozell: It's Time for Conservatives to Rally Around Sean Hannity
[The following message was originally posted on my Facebook page.] I have said many times that the greatest opposition to the Left can be found in conservative talk radio and every major conservative talk show host should concern himself, or herself, with what inevitably will be ferocious personal attacks. Just ask Rush Limbaugh. It was only a matter of time before Sean Hannity would find…
Heritage's Ernest Istook Again Runs Circles Around Exasperated Ed Schu
Don't expect Ed Schultz to invite Ernest Istook back on his MSNBC show any time soon.

And Schultz had it all…

Liberal Journos Use End of '24' to Claim 'Torture,' Liken Intelligence
With the recently announced end of Fox's hit series "24," many liberal pundits are parading the show as a false depiction of the notion that "torture works." Contrary to their accusations, the Jack Bauer interrogation methods bear exactly zero resemblance to any actual interrogation techniques used by American military, law enforcement, or intelligence agents."On '24,' torture saves lives," the…
MSNBC's David Shuster Rips Sarah Palin for 'Dem Hit List,' Brings on L
MSNBC's David Shuster on Monday continued to hit Sarah Palin for supposedly inciting hate against liberals and Democrats on her Facebook page. The cable channel's graphic hyperbolically complained, "Sarah Palin's Dem Hit-list." With no sense of irony, Shuster then brought on the vitriolic Mike Malloy to trash Palin. Malloy is the liberal radio host who said in 2009 that Dick Cheney has "been…
Rachel Maddow Doth Protest Too Much About Senate Run Speculation
Did you know that Republican Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts is "harassing" Rachel Maddow?
Depends, of course, on how you define harassment. Liberals like Maddow are inclined toward the most flexible definition possible, especially when directed at those of less evolved politics.

Introducing a report on passage of the ObamaCare reconciliation bill on Friday's CBS Early Show, co-host Maggie Rodriguez referred to a couple upcoming rescue stories on the show and cheerfully remarked: "And speaking of rescues, the Democrats have rescued health care reform, once on death's door, after putting the final touches, finally, on the sweeping legislation yesterday."
