What liberal media? Those liberal media…

3 November, 2010 (20:51) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Bernie Goldberg writes his usual stellar stuff over at AOL News regarding that whole “angry” meme the Dems and their media allies are pushing: So let’s review: As far as liberal journalists are concerned, when the American people vote for Democrats, it’s because they’re full of hope and want positive change and care about their [...]

Cowabunga! Republican tsunami hits hard and paints the map red. Now what?

3 November, 2010 (12:27) | Politics, The Media, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

There is no question that it was a stellar night for the Republican Party last evening as we swept across America and changed the power equation in Washington, DC. As of this moment, the House of Representatives has gone from a 255-seat Democrat majority to a 239-seat Republican majority. There are still races too close [...]

Eight misdirections the “Campaign for America’s Future” wants to push prior to election day

26 October, 2010 (10:55) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media, Virginia Politics | By: ricjames

As I mentioned earlier today, the MSM is certainly doing all they can to paint the Dem’s situation in the most positive of lights. It should come as no surprise, then, that the various leftish organizations seeking to continue the Dem’s hold on Congress would be coming up with their own stuff. From a link [...]

In spite of the MSM’s attempts to create a Dem upswing out of thin air, the AP poll shows GOP enthusiasm growing

24 October, 2010 (15:12) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: Although you have to look hard for it, the latest AP/GfK poll shows that the enthusiasm gap is continuing to grow in the final two weeks of the midterm election cycle.  Despite sampling problems — such as an eleven-point gap in identification of Obama/McCain supporters when Obama won by [...]

The MSM’s “tardy-to-the-party” realization that Obama lacks the experience for his current position is starting to dawn

12 October, 2010 (08:16) | 2010 Elections, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

I noticed over the long weekend an interesting development. It seems components of the MSM – for a long time, now, strong advocates of Team Obama – are starting to wake up to the realization that The One looks to be in over his head. This is from Mark Halperin of Time: Barack Obama is [...]

True colors on display: Dems / media don’t mind abusive religious smears, as long as it’s against Christians or Republicans

27 September, 2010 (17:13) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

This in from Hot Air, Democrat incumbent Alan Grayson (D-FL8) has gone from unprincipled liar to abusive wacko. Fresh off putting up an ad that literally calls his Republican opponent a draft-dodger (verifiably untrue), Grayson now decides to equate a man who quoted a biblical verse on the matter of marriage with a terrorist deployed [...]

Dems blaming their upcoming woes on Citizens United

25 September, 2010 (08:34) | 2010 Elections, Law, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Faced with the prospect of getting seriously pounded in November by an electorate that has tired of being ignored and treated like nothing more than serfs whose property and product are considered the rightful possessions of a elitist ruling class, the Dems are looking for any excuse for this impending butt-whoopin’ that doesn’t actually involve [...]

Noted on a Sunday morning: so-called “filmmaker” Moore is completely unworthy of attention

19 September, 2010 (08:18) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

I saw a note on Hot Air about miserable wretch Micheal Moore trying to pry loose a few more minutes of fame by dismissing the seriousness of the 9/11 attacks and the loss of life there by suggesting the local McDonalds was more lethal. Does anyone really believe Moore says anything at all for any [...]

WaPo says Obama was “more polarizing that we knew.”

5 September, 2010 (12:41) | 2008 Presidential Race, Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

Dan Balz of the Washington Post writes an article in today’s WaPo (A section, page 2 for those of you with the dead tree edition) titled, “Early on, Obama was more polarizing than we knew“: One of the puzzling questions about Barack Obama’s presidency is how the post-partisan candidate of 2008 became the polarizing chief [...]

Concern ≠ phobia

29 August, 2010 (14:34) | Politics, The Media | By: ricjames

I’ve never liked the many-splendored labels being put into common use in political discussion these days that end in the term, “-phobia.” Homophobia. Xenophobia (for the illegal “immigration” debate.) Islamophobia. The reason I don’t like them is that they are all pretty much manifestations of a logical/argumentational fallacy called ad hominem. In an ad hominem [...]
