For months the news was inundated with coverage of “illegal activities” by ACORN. Last night Rachel Maddow showed for the first time the unedited “undercover” video tapes that lead to ACORN’s demise. ACORN has a very good case here against FOX News, James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart. Their quest for ratings have cost a lot […]
The right wing rhetoric continues to stoke violence: A 64-year-old Yakima County man has been charged with threatening to kill U.S. Sen.

This is NOT the way to debate issues: U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Cincinnati, says an ad showing his two young daughters went too far in the heated debate over health care.

That is the new meme emerging following the two gubernatorial losses last night for Democrats. I seemed to have missed it where Obama was on the ballot, but that’s what all the talking heads want us to think. Let’s take a look at Creigh Deeds and the Virginia race. Actually have a look at Think […]

Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) for calling Linda Robertson, an adviser to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, a “K Street whore” in a month-old radio interview that circulated on Capitol Hill Monday night. “There’s no call for that language.
