There have been some hilarious–and frightening–moments at this year’s CPAC meeting, which is meant to highlight the best and brightest of the conservative wing of the Republican party. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker claimed he could fight ISIS because he had taken on unions in his state. Chris Christie repeated his infamous “Sit down and shut […]
If Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is indeed planning to run for President in 2016, he might not want to count on getting the votes of anyone who considers campus sexual assault to be a problem. In his most recent budget submission, Walker has deleted all language which requires colleges and universities in the state to […]
Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe may not be a scientist, but he doesn’t mind playing one on TV. And on the floor of the Senate Thursday, Inhofe once again proved just how ignorant he really is when it comes to the science of climate change. Bringing out a snowball which was encased in a plastic bag, […]
If you know anything about Ann Coulter, then you know she’s prone to running off at the mouth and saying ridiculous things. Which brings us to Wednesday of this week, when the dunderheaded Ms. Coulter decided to write a column for WorldNetDaily in which she declared that illegal immigrants are a bigger threat to the […]
As it turns out, Ray Bradbury may have been more prescient when he wrote Fahrenheit 451 than even he could have imagined. Bradbury’s classic novel envisioned a society in which books were burned by “firemen” if they were deemed harmful to society. Now in Kansas, the GOP-controlled state legislature wants to criminalize the teaching of “sex, nude […]
It’s been a bad week for Fox News host Bill O’Reilly. First Mother Jones magazine published a story in which it accused the loudmouthed O’Reilly of never having been near a “war zone” during the Falklands conflict. Now, former colleagues of O’Reilly say he could not have witnessed the suicide of a friend of JFK […]
Revisionist history lesson for the day: When George W. Bush left office in 2008, Iraq was safe and peaceful. What? You mean you don’t remember it that way? Don’t feel bad, because most rational people don’t. But that didn’t stop right wing cheerleader Bill Kristol from proclaiming it as fact over the weekend. Appearing on […]
While he raises millions of dollars in campaign contributions in his quest for the 2016 GOP nomination for President, Jeb Bush is also facing questions about his past business dealings, one of which may indicate a serious conflict of interest on Bush’s part. As recently as 2013, Bush was urging conservative groups in New York […]
Bill O’Reilly’s claim that he knows what war is like because he witnessed it as a war correspondent is once again being questioned, this time by someone who worked with him at CBS News. Eric Enberg, a former colleague of the Fox News host, said yesterday that Buenos Aires was not a “war zone” or a […]
A veterans group is calling on ‘Fox News’ to take Bill O’Reilly off the air, much the same as NBC did with Brian Williams, after a report in Mother Jones accused O’Reilly of exaggerating his combat reporting experiences during the 1982 Falklands War. Jon Soltz, chairman of VoteVets.org, which has 400,000 active members, said in a […]
