October 10th, 2022 5:08 PM

Partisans, a slanted history of the 1990s-era GOP by anti-conservative academic and CNN favorite Nicole Hemmer, was reviewed by Gabriel Debenedetti, national correspondent for New York magazine, for the New York Times, under the tired headline, “Resentful, Media-Savvy and Paving the Way for Trump.” The subhead extended the usual “Republicans are all conspiracists”…

December 9th, 2021 9:25 AM

New York Times economist Paul Krugman is the last person who should be complaining about the disappearance of maturity in today’s politics. Krugman exploited the death of former Sen. Bob Dole (R-KS) to pontificate how “his life story also reminds us of a time when public figures were supposed to show some sense of responsibility — to possess basic decency, to admit to…

September 13th, 2016 4:35 PM
CNN International host Christiane Amanpour was at it again on Monday night in flashing her far-left ideology as she used her eponymous show to angrily maim critics of Hillary Clinton and (a select few) in the media as sexist for raising questions about her health and hiding the pneumonia diagnosis and unwilling to let “a girl have a sick day or two.”

USAT, WashPost Rewrite History, Give Clinton All Welfare Reform Credit

August 22nd, 2016 5:50 PM
On August 22, 1996, President Bill Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, aka "welfare reform," into law. Writeups today at USA Today and in the Washington Post would make readers believe that credit for this accomplishment belongs entirely to Bill Clinton, and that it was his advocacy that brought it all about. The truth is that "ending welfare as we know it" was a…

Daily Kos Contrasts Old-School GOP With New ‘Bats**t Crazy’ Versio

July 26th, 2014 7:45 AM
Liberals like to opine that righty Republicans of the fairly recent past, such as Barry Goldwater, William F. Buckley Jr., or even Ronald Reagan, were nowhere near as wild-eyed as the Tea Party crowd. In a Tuesday Daily Kos post by the mononymous Hunter, it was Bob Dole (granted, no one’s idea of a movement conservative) who represented the party’s rational “old guard” against the “clearly…

May 24th, 2014 10:04 PM
At the end of Friday’s NBC Nightly News, they aired a sugary Harry Smith profile of Bob Dole: “The body may be frail but the voice is unmistakable...Yeah, that's Bob Dole, once known as an attack dog, at 90 he purrs.” NBC completely skipped what Dole had to say on the front page of Friday morning’s USA Today, that the current handling of veterans in the VA health system is a “disaster.”…

PBS Anchor Mourns the Good Old Days of Penny Candy and 'Moderate' Repu

April 26th, 2014 7:07 AM
There are few things more predictable than liberal TV news anchors pining for the good old days when moderate Republicans voted for tax increases (like the 1990 budget deal) or expanded Medicare coverage (George W. Bush, 2002). Notice they don’t warmly recall when Democrats voted for the Reagan tax cuts or B-1 bombers and aid to the Nicaraguan rebels. Those Democratic “sellouts” are never…

November 2nd, 2013 4:00 PM

July 20th, 2013 11:38 AM
With Grover Norquist’s help, Bill Maher once again made a fool of himself Friday evening. In the middle of an HBO Real Time discussion about ObamaCare, the host seemed shocked to hear that Bob Dole isn’t a real conservative leading Norquist to derisively comment to former Congressman Connie Mack (R-Fl.), “He doesn’t understand the difference between Reagan and Dole” (video follows with…
