Bob Schieffer, far from being some member of the “liberal media”, tonight accused Trump’s assertion of bordering on racism: Donald Trump has moved on from the “birther” conspiracy to allege President Barack Obama didn’t get good enough grades to warrant entry to Harvard Law School, an assertion that CBS News chief Washington correspondent Bob Schieffer […]
Following the shooting at the Holocaust Museum this week the right has been in defense mode. They are trying everything to pain James Von Brunn as some lefty or just a plain old loon. The problem with that is he isn’t. Just like in lefty liberal land there are extremes of right wing/neo-con land. James […]
What happens when a commenter on a right wing blog disagrees with the rest of the people there? Easy – they are tagged as some “leftist invader”.

Jonathan Martin is reporting about a secret session of conservatives planned for after the election: Two days after next week’s election, top conservatives will gather at the Virginia weekend home of one of the movement’s most prominent members to begin a conversation about their role in the GOP and how best to revive a party […]
A lot of wingnuts are dismissing Christopher Buckley for leaving the National Review. They seem to forget that the National Review wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for his father, who founded the magazine. Buckley shares a sentiment that I hear from countless Republicans, especially the Reagan class of Republicans: While I regret this development, […]
We hear Bush saying how he will get rid of earmarks all the time. Well that doesn’t look like the case so much: But Bush hesitates to exercise his authority.
