We need impeachment hearings NOW! This morning, Fox & Friends joined the New York Post in attacking President Obama for using a paper clip. Read that again: They attacked Obama for using a paper clip. The Post‘s story today on Obama’s jobs bill is headlined “O gives jobs ‘clip’ service; $447B ‘tax hike’ plan bound […]
Just check out the anger that is brewing over at townhalls: Of course my headline is totally misleading. Instead of Healthcare and Democratic Townhalls, it’s actually Republican Townhalls and the issue of taxes, but my headline might get the media to actually notice that the Republicans are getting heat at townhalls over taxes and Medicare.

It had budgeted $70,200 in expenses for the event, including security and other costs, officials said. However, there will also likely be […]
Last week Rupert Murdoch said that FOX shouldn’t be promoting the Tea Party. I guess FOX missed that memo. All day FOX has been broadcasting from the Tea Party in D.C. and then tonight you get this: Jessica Brown reports from outside Fifth Third arena, where the Tea Party rally/Sean Hannity show taping will be […]
Tea Partiers Get Their News From Fox And Are More Likely To Justify Violence Against The Government
