Remember Trent Lott, the former GOP Senate Minority Leader who was forced by Democrat backlash to step down from his leadership post seven years ago after making a statement that was clearly twisted to make him look as though he actually regretted civil rights progress? Well, in case you hadn’t noticed, insensitive statements of... »

…And More Obama Doublespeak
Another great one from last week’s National Review: On the subject of banking, Barack Obama is in a debate with Barack Obama. (We hope he loses.) With unemployment persisting at painful levels, President Obama casts himself as the scourge of the “fat cats” — he has taken to the language of vacuous populism —... »
More Obama Hypocrisy
This from last week’s National Review: When a congressional committee investigating the White House state-dinner crashers considered asking Desiree Rogers, President Obama’s social secretary, to testify, the administration responded with a blanket refusal. “Based on separation of powers,” explained press secretary Robert Gibbs, “staff here don’t go to testify in front of Congress.” Obama’s... »

Jeffrey Goldberg, a correspondent for the Atlantic, cast a spotlight on yet another disgustingly overt example of pure bias in the mainstream media, particularly at the anti-Semitic Reuters newswire. He points to a Reuters news item which contains the following despicable sentences: Police said it was a “terrorist attack” — Israel’s term for a Palestinian [...]
In the [sparse] reporting of the Palestinians’ massacre of the Fogel family, several newspapers stand out with their distorted sense of “balance”, i.e., where they feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable describing the barbarity of the Palestinians without at least taking a swipe or two at the Israelis, no matter how patently irrelevant or disgustingly disrespectful it comes [...]
