WaPo: Dissenting Lefty Nun ‘Part Zen Master, Part Political Tacticia

Liberal media outlets have never met a dissenting Catholic they didn’t like. The flavor of this month – a liberal nun and her publicity tour group for “social justice” – got the requisite puff piece in The Washington Post to complete the adoration heaped on them by CNN, Time, and MSNBC. In her June 27 article “The Nuns on the Bus tour promotes social justice – and turns a blind eye to the…

NBC's Gregory: 5-4 Against ObamaCare = 'Nightmare'; 5-4 for ObamaCare

Malloy teased from his atheist worldview, “Could that be, you know, Jesus or God…

AP Report on WH Bus Tour Plans Reads Like a Campaign Press Release

It seems that there will be little reason for the Obama campaign to bother issuing press releases as long as Julie Pace of the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, is around to breathlessly relay the information for them as some kind of exclusive, insider report.

Steve Kornacki Claims 'No Evidence' ATF Walked Guns to Advance Gun Con

One of the biggest pet peeves of your humble correspondent is so-called journalists who continue to absurdly claim that there is no evidence that one of the purposes for gunwalking in Operation Fast and Furious was to advance a gun control agenda.

Matthews Slimes: John Roberts Doesn't Want to be Like Slave Judge Behi

According to liberal MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts being the fifth vote to strike down Obamacare would make him the "second Roger Taney," the Civil War-era high judge who delivered the majority opinion in the Dred Scott Case and upheld the Fugitive Slave Act. Talking to columnist Ezra Klein, Matthews smeared, "...A friend of mine, who is a fellow Roman…
