Matthews' Shameless Smear: Rush Wants to End Integration of Schools an

It's going to be a long, hot campaign . . . Yesterday, Politico reported that the Obama strategy is to "destroy" or "kill" his perceived chief 2012 rival, Mitt Romney.  The Obamaoids are no doubt counting on close collaboration with their friends in the MSM.

Bachmann Is Latest Target in Media's War on Conservative Women

Liberal bias is rampant among the media, but there is no more tangible example of it than in how the media treat Conservative women.

MSNBC's Thomas Roberts implied Tuesday that members of Congress who oppose efforts to inject more government spending into the economy, as President Barack Obama proposed recently, are committing an "act of treason."
