Joy Behar and her guests roundly criticized the Tea Party Movement. (follow link for video clip) Don't you just love Stephanie Miller saying that a lot of them are there (Tea Party Movement) because there is a black guy in the White House? If it was just about race the protests would have started on day one. And who really got things rolling? Rick Santelli of CNBC, not exactly your everyday conspiracy nut as the left would have you believe the Tea Party Movement is made up of. And Margaret Carlson giving her one-sided view of CPAC. Sure there were...

The Politico piece, "Conservatives Target Their Own Fringe," attempts to identify various extremists within the conservative movement, including the "militia" movement. Writer Kenneth P. Vogel suggests that they include the Oath Keepers who helped co-sponsor the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). But Vogel's effort to link this group to the militia movement, which some people associate with the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, is a charge not backed up by any evidence in the article. However, the Oath Keepers do have some explaining to do, such as why they associate with Russia Today television favorite Alex Jones, the prominent 9/11 "truther."...

CNN's Jack Cafferty lays into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her continued defense of Rep. Charles Rangel who was recently cited for ethics violations after she herself had pressed Republicans in the past to remove what she called "ethically challenged" members from leadership posts.

A story by Kenneth P. Vogel in the Politico, under the headline, "Conservatives Target Their Own Fringe," insists that "the conservative establishment" is launching a purge of "extremist elements" from the conservative movement. However, these extremists are conspicuously not identified in the article as the "gay conservatives" who co-sponsored the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). These are the "anal sex practitioners," as Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus prefers to calls them. This Phillips term is not intended to demean anyone; it is descriptive of what male homosexuals do. Such unnatural and extreme behavior, in addition to being dangerous,...

CNN's Jack Cafferty has some advice for president Obama after word leaked out that the White House is making plans for a 2012 reelection campaign. There is still plenty of time for Obama to turn things around before the 2012 elections, but he may want to keep a few extra resumes handy just in case.

For the better part of the last year, health care reform has dominated the national legislative agenda. At the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), panelists discussed alternatives for reform and ways that their individual organizations had already effected the political debate. Moderator Grace-Marie Turner, President of the Galen Institute, said that she didn't believe that the fight to pass ObamaCare was over despite the fact that both houses passed their own individual health care bills but have been unable to reconcile their differences and pass unified legislation. Speaking of the period prior to the election of Senator Scott Brown...

California Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chairman Ryan Sorba generated a media controversy when he was shown at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) denouncing the organizers for inviting a homosexual Republican group, GOProud, into the event as an official sponsor. In "controversial" remarks, Sorba said homosexuality was unnatural and that he welcomed more debate and discussion about the subject from his political adversaries. But what many people don't realize is that Sorba's "outburst" was provoked by a speaker who preceded him, Alexander McCobin of Students For Liberty (SFL). McCobin went out of his way to use valuable time from...

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has offered another of his mindless rants that he calls "Special Commentaries." This time, he tried to rile up his audience by throwing around vague charges of racism against white people, including himself! People-especially anti-Obama Tea Partiers-are surrounded and motivated by racism, Olbermann said, huffing and puffing in righteous indignation. This helps explain why Obama is losing popularity and his policies are failing, he implied. Olbermann's diagnosis is correct, at least in part. Taking him at his word, he is a racist, and so is his network. Is this why there are no black faces hosting MSNBC...

Proponents of global warming in the U.K. can't seem to decide whether or not global warming is real. From the Telegraph.co.uk Prof Peter Liss, acting director of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), said sceptics were endangering the lives of generations to come by making unsupported claims. "The evidence is hugely for there being substantial climate change due to man's activities and if you want to argue against that case you have to produce some evidence." Prof Liss spoke after the Norwich-based UEA launched an independent review of the CRU~s work. An international furore erupted up after...

A library featuring the personal papers of anti-communist hero Whittaker Chambers is being planned on the site of his farm in Maryland. Unfortunately, local authorities are considering a water project that could damage part of the property. Chambers' son John is asking for help to save the farm. Time is of the essence. Whittaker Chambers blew the whistle on the Communist penetration of our government and exposed Soviet spy Alger Hiss. Hiss became the first acting secretary-general of the United Nations, causing it to be dubbed "the house that Hiss built" He also advised President Franklin Roosevelt at the Yalta...

CNN's Jim Acosta in an apparent fit of pique said on the air that tea party protesters were nothing but a bunch of "recession-raging conservative and independents."

ABC White House correspondent Jake Tapper irked Robert Gibbs when he questioned whether the president is going to 'man up' and make the tough decisions.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann aka 'The Mad Ranter' has hit a bit of a rough patch now that Obamamania has faded away and Americans anger has turned from Bush to Obama. From the Los Angeles Times Remember Keith Olbermann? He was the one-time must-see anti-Bush ranter who helped rescue MSNBC (yes, it's still on at night) from even worse oblivion years ago. Well, quietly last month while no one was looking, hardly anyone was watching Keith Olbermann anymore. The guy, who's even apparently tried to get some Sarah Palin-like eyeglasses, is now forced to leap over-the-top on ex-state senators like Scott...

MSNBC Countdown host Keith Olbermann calls Roger Ailes a liar while his guest Arianna Huffington piles on by accusing Fox by profiting on Americans misery.

MSNBC's Hardball host Chris Matthews in his latest rant compared the GOP to a Cambodian re-eeducation camp. (click link for video clip of his statement)

The Washington Post editorial page has joined lesbian MSNBC commentator Rachel Maddow in blasting the government of Uganda for considering a law to protect children from homosexual predators and the dangerous public health impact of the homosexual lifestyle. Despite its moderate views on some foreign policy issues, the Post has always come down firmly on the side of making homosexuality into a special right that should be protected and even glorified by governmental institutions. Now it wants to impose that view on Uganda's mostly Christian population. The January 7 editorial was probably written by Post editorial writer and homosexual activist...

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told CNN's John King that the Democrats are just one vote away from achieving health care reform and that the Brown victory in Massachusetts wasn't a repudiation of Obama's policies.

Calling health care a "right" to be guaranteed by the federal government, America's Catholic Bishops are trying to save ObamaCare at a time when the legislation has been pronounced in limbo, dying or dead by most of the media. The evidence of intensive Catholic Bishop lobbying activity suggests that liberal Congressional leaders are going to give the legislation a temporary respite so that liberal Catholics can be persuaded to pressure Congress to pass both national health care legislation and "comprehensive immigration reform" in the form of H.R. 4321, the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity" Act. As AIM...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews was in such a stupor he forgot that the president was a black man.

CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor Katie Couric said in an intreview that the mainstream media still has a role to play and that people want coverage with a point of view. From PoynterOnline When Katie Couric accepted the Alfred I. duPont award last week for her series of interviews with former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin during the 2008 presidential campaign, she said, "The much derided MSM -- main stream media -- clearly still has a role in these increasingly partisan times."
