On Friday's Morning Joe, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was smearing "his" party with aggression. He mocked Mitt Romney for mutilating himself (rhetorically) -- "He is a cutter, a political cutter" -- and then smart-mouthed a poll result showing the GOP losing by 25 to Obama among women: "I guess that idea of chaining women to a radiator in the kitchen, that the Republicans wanted to put on…

Spike Lee erroneously tweeting the address of an unrelated elderly couple, rather than George Zimmerman, was a "mean, boneheaded, thoughtless and harmful thing to do." But alas, he's shown, and tweeted contrition, Washington Post's Erik Wemple blogged approvingly yesterday. Heck, Lee even "repeated the apology in a phone call, a conversation that left the couple feeling better about the ordeal…

On Friday's Daily Rundown on MSNBC, anchor Chuck Todd asked about the sour outlook for ObamaCare: “There’s a lot of panic at the White House, to be frank. They really thought this wasn’t going to be that hard of a case....Now they’re biting their fingernails. Should they be biting their fingernails?” NPR’s Nina Totenberg responded: “Yeah, they should be biting their fingernails." Totenberg…

As liberals lecture about deep-seated American racism, liberal radio host was slamming Justice Clarence Thomas on Wednesday. After playing a soundbite of Anthony Kennedy, she said, "I mean, he's thinking out loud and this what they do right -- except for Clarence Thomas who doesn't think. At all."  Thomas, she joked, was just like a dog: "Whatever Scalia does that's what he does. Well, Scalia…

Is it right to make death threats against George Zimmerman and his family?  ABC News isn't sure. In a Good Morning America segment today on the Trayvon Martin case, as an ABC reporter spoke from Sanford, Florida, this graphic was displayed across the bottom of the screen: "ARE DEATH THREATS GOING TOO FAR?" Video and screencap after the jump.

So we got NCAA Final Four, Trayvon Martin, ObamaCare looking like it might go down, Wisconsin primaries, and a booming stock market. Anything else you want to talk about?

In the wake of the press's nonstop hyperventilating regarding the Trayvon Martin issue, Fox News's Bill O'Reilly appropriately asked Friday, "Is the media now inciting racial violence?" In his opening Talking Points Memo, O'Reilly also pointed a finger at Al Sharpton and Roland Martin saying, "MSNBC and CNN to some extent have a vested interest in seeing Zimmerman punished because they've…

It's more than a little shocking when someone makes a movie that deals harshly with abortion. This is Hollywood after all. Abortion is a feminist sacrament. The movie "October Baby" just debuted on 390 screens and registered in eighth place for the weekend, with an estimated $1.7 million gross. "October Baby" is a drama loosely based on the real-life story of Gianna Jessen, born with cerebral…

Alice Walker is best known as the author of 'The Color Purple," but she is an activist who is often welcomed on the taxpayer-supported radical-left Pacifica Radio show "Democracy Now." On Friday, she was brought on to diagnose the United States after Trayvon Martin's death as a "very sick country" due to its racism: "We have been abused for such a long time here in this very misguided…

Kossacks seldom tire of declaring conservatives' alleged hatred of minority groups, and are especially energetic about doing so in the wake of racial incidents such as the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin. This past week, one even dared to assert that the right believes it's "a-okay to murder black children." As usual, each headline is preceded by the blogger's name or pseudonym. Daily Kos…

In January, Bill Maher admitted that his HBO Real Time audience were "brainwashed liberals." On Friday's program, he took this observation a step further at the beginning of the program by calling them "a pumped up bunch of liberal drug addicts" (video follows with commentary):

Bill Maher on Friday actually used the Trayvon Martin issue to attack Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn). In his HBO Real Time opening monologue, the host said of Congressman Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) wearing a hoodie on the House floor, "Too scary? Have you ever looked into Michele Bachmann's eyes?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

On Tuesday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), I noted how the Associated Press's headlined assessments at Anne D'Innocenzio's reports throughout the day on the Conference Board's monthly consumer confidence survey went from "falls" to "dips slightly" to "roughly flat" before ending up at "rosy" -- an evaluation the AP reporter also included in the verbiage of her final dispatch. For the record,…

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer on Friday said the Supreme Court striking down ObamaCare could energize the Left in this nation in much the same way 1973's Roe v. Wade decision galvanized the Right. Such was said on PBS's Inside Washington (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
