We've spent the month of August talking about alleged right-wing rage, but it's really time we started discussing the Angry White Liberal. When things aren't going his way, the Angry White Liberal wails and gnashes his teeth, rends his garments, and hurls invective at the opposition. His rhetoric and prose is so heated, it's gotten to the point where you need to put on oven mitts before opening the paper. He is so convinced of the righteousness of his positions that he lashes out uncontrollably at anybody who disagrees with him. For the Angry White Liberal, dissent is anathema. Antagonism...

Hate, venom and intolerance towards everyday folks speaking their minds is nothing new from Ms. Garofalo, but “tea bagging” jokes are so last April. Has she not received the White House/MSNBC Town Hall Talking Points?

Through most of the summer, opposition to President Obama and his health-care initiative has come almost entirely from the right. In the past week, however, the president has been trying to tamp down a noisy uprising on the left. The immediate cause for the rebellion is growing concern among Obama's progressive allies that he is prepared to deal away the public insurance option to win passage of a health-care bill. Obama insists that he still prefers the public option as part of any eventual legislative package, but some of his friends on the left now clearly doubt his resolve.

Usually it’s Bill who loses it, but Hillary has swallowed a lot of aggravation in the last nine months. The fascinating thing about Bill and Hillary’s relationship is the way they perform their emotional correctives in public. Because Bill got so thoroughly smacked around last year for mouthing off on the campaign trail at the wrong moments and causing Hillary vote-losing blowback, he has been as good as gold ever since—the very model of a discreet, dignified former president. How appropriately stony-faced he looked the other day, sitting next to looney-tunes Kim Jong Il before the handover of the two...

FOX News' Major Garrett discusses his question to Robert Gibbs Thursday afternoon.

As citizens psssionately sought to exercise their First Amemdment rights to "assemble and to petition the Government for redress of grievances" at Town Hall meetings, the MSM tried with equal passion to contemptuously dismiss their collective voice as that of an illegitimate "mob." The video clip clearly shows what typically happened when a congressman attacked a constituent for DARING TO QUESTION the socialistic "ObamaCare" medical proposal. In this instance the constituent was Dr. Brian Hill, M.D., who had a natural concern for the inevitable decline in doctor-patient care, bureaucratic rationing of health care, and enormous tax increases for all citizens....

And by “constituent,” I of course mean crypto-Nazi political terrorist. You’ll find the full unedited exchange right here but I’m giving you the news segment because it provides important context. Like, for example, that the guy who asked Scott the question actually is one of his constituents, contrary to what the distinguished gentleman implies. And that his “hijacking” of this town hall (which wasn’t devoted to health care) came during a Q&A session in which attendees were in fact allowed to ask about anything. But aside from that, he’s very, very Nazi, baby.

Scolding Americans for our various sins is proving popular among an elite group of self-appointed moralists. Take well-meaning environmentalists who warn us that our plush lifestyles heat up and pollute the planet. To listen to former Vice President Al Gore or New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, we must immediately curtail our carbon emissions -- or face planetary destruction. Yet these influential prophets of doom do not have lives remotely similar to the lesser folk they lecture. From time to time, Mr. Gore hops on a private jet - and purchases "carbon offsets" penances for the privilege. His mansion not...

Obama keeps firing more drone missiles; we keep blowing up more hearts and minds. It's more than just a crusade. It's a video game! The Good War

A video has surfaced on YouTube of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. delivering a church speech in which he uses the N-word, rails against "racist historically white institutions in America" and accuses Newt Gingrich of attempting to block blacks from entering the middle class. Gates became a lightning rod of racial controversy when President Obama defended the professor handcuffed in his home last week by police in Cambridge, Mass. "We are trying to end what we call the one n-gger syndrome – you know, this place ain't big enough for more than one of us," said Gates in the...

Rush Limbaugh on last night's press conference: He hasn't seen a "more passionate" and "animated" Ovbama. Limbaugh said Obama "lied through his teeth" and doesn't think he understands health care. Limbaugh also says Obama is "largely misunderstood" by people. Rush Limbaugh also talked about race and the Harvard professor arrested at his house. Limbaugh says Obama and the Democrats are "destroying the country" and want as little liberty and freedom for the people as possible.

You can see the anger in his face, the calls, the emails, the protests are having an effect, and he's mad...good

On Today's Show...   Supreme Court Acknowledges Judge Sonia Sotomayor's Racism A 5-4 ruling, but if you read the opinions, it was a 9-zip rebuke for using empathy over the law. There's going to be a day of reckoning for the constitutional issues. (Rush 24/7 Members:  Listen)   "This ruling for the white firemen gets to the whole point of Sotomayor.  Obama has said, 'We need people with empathy.'  No, we don't! People want justice from courts, not sympathy." -Rush   Waxman Bill Forces Environmental Inspection Before You Can Sell Your Home! These aren't proposals. These are what they're...

There's one corner of the country where Democrats are growing increasingly disenchanted with President Obama, and it's right in his front yard. In the District of Columbia, which gave 93 percent of its votes to Obama last November, dismay is turning to anger in some Democratic leaders, who have totted up a list of instances they see as disses of their city. The most egregious to them is the White House's silence about a bill that would have given city residents a voting representative in Congress, despite Obama's campaign promise that he would enthusiastically back it. They're also ticked that...

Obama just a little bothered that not every channel is in the tank for him. Harwood actually says to Obama that your favorable press could be hurting the country (he'll probably be fired later today)...

President Obama also criticized Fox News, al though not by name, for "attacking" him. It’s very hard for me to swallow that one,” Obama said. “First of all, I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” he added,

The anger from gay rights advocates toward President Obama is starting to boil over. On Monday, Joe Solmonese, the president of the establishment gay rights group The Human Rights Campaign, sent an angry letter to the president objecting to the decision by the Obama Justice Department to file a brief defending the Defense of Marriage Act. "I realized that although I and other LGBT leaders have introduced ourselves to you as policy makers, we clearly have not been heard, and seen, as what we also are: human beings whose lives, loves, and families are equal to yours," Solmonese wrote. "I...

US president Barack Obama has said he is shocked and outraged at the murder of a top doctor who performed late-term abortions. Dr George Tiller, the object of decades of protests and attacks, was shot dead in front of his wife in a Kansas church where he was serving as an usher. A 51-year-old man was arrested 170 miles away in Kansas City three hours after the shooting on Sunday. Johnson County sheriff's spokesman Tom Erickson identified the suspect as Scott Roeder.

SHE was not stripped of her crown. But Miss California Carrie Prejean -- the beauty queen who had the gall to speak out against gay marriage -- was stripped of her innocence. There is no free speech in politically correct America. Carrie walked into Trump Tower yesterday, tall, blond and poised well beyond her years. She was woefully alone, save for her parents and enough TV and still cameras to cover a modern Normandy invasion. Since April, Carrie has become the victim of nothing less than a hate crime. Just don't ask Rosie O'Donnell to stand up for the beauty's...

President Obama said his prime-time press conference on Day 100 of his presidency was intended as a "look forward to ... all of the hundreds of days to follow," but it turned into more of a look back in anger, complete with finger-pointing. Throughout his hourlong session in the White House East Room on Wednesday, the candidate who vowed a new post-partisan Washington, free from the rancorous bickering that often grinds the city to gridlock, ripped Republicans as the members of a do-nothing party of no. He began at the top, calling his predecessor, the former head of the Republican...
