Dan Rather: Bush AWOL Documents ‘Not Proven’ False
11 Feb 2013 8:47 pm Warner Todd Huston

Dan Rather is back to defending the story that essentially got him fired from network television by claiming that the documents he presented in 2004 as proof that George W. Bush went AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard have never been proven to be forgeries.
On February 7, Dan Rather hosted a Q&A on reddit.com where he took questions from reddit users. The session was a lively discussion and many questions were asked of the one-time anchor of CBS Evening News. One question focused on the story that essentially led …

Yeah, Let Me Tell You How Your “Civil War” Would End, Buddy
23 Aug 2012 1:37 am John Hawkins

Some dopey, irresponsible Texas judge is rah-rahing the idea of a “Civil War” if Obama wins.
Lubbock County Judge Tom Head told KJTV-TV on Monday that a 1.7 cent tax increase for the next fiscal year is necessary to prepare for the “worst case scenario: civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe.”
“We’re not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we’re talking — we’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy,” Head said. “What’s going to happen if we do that, if the public …

The Government Is Apparently Completely Unfamiliar With Facebook & Conspiracy Theories
22 Aug 2012 3:56 am John Hawkins

If this is enough to get you committed, then there are tens of thousands of people on Facebook who should be in an asylum.
A former Marine involuntarily detained for psychiatric evaluation for posting strident anti-government messages on Facebook has received an outpouring of support from people who say authorities are trampling on his First Amendment rights.
Brandon J. Raub, 26, has been in custody since FBI, Secret Service agents and police in Virginia’s Chesterfield County questioned him Thursday evening about what they said were ominous posts talking about a coming revolution. …

Obama Administration Has Your Drilling, But Wants Your Oceans, Too.
9 Aug 2012 12:49 pm Unicorn Jones

Remember when that oil rig exploded off of the Gulf of Mexico, giving the Obama Administration the perfect excuse to exercise complete control over our offshore drilling? Yeah, it might not be the top priority going into the campaign, but American drilling has been severely impacted – and continues to be severely impacted by Obama Administration “efforts” to “help” our nation gain “energy independence.” Luckily, despite all of the awesome assistance they’ve been willing to give, the oil and gas industry still manages to keep employing Americans and producing roughly …

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Part Duh
22 Jun 2012 4:05 pm Michael Fell

Apparently suffering the long term effects of habitual Botox abuse, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi again defied the grounding gravity of logic to concoct a thread bare story trying to tie Wednesday’s contempt of Congress proceedings in the House of Representatives to unproven allegations of voter suppression.
“It is no accident; it is no coincidence that the attorney general of the United States is the person responsible for making sure that voter suppression does not happen in our country, that issues that relate to the civil liberties of the American people …

Is Mitt Romney A Unicorn?
30 May 2012 8:09 am William Teach

Perhaps it’s time to give up the Birtherism folks, and focus simply on voting Barack H. Obama out of office. No one can provide proof that Obama was, in fact, born outside of the US and is ineligible to be POTUS as a natural born citizen. Of course, let’s not forget that the Democratic Underground tried this back in February 2008, with the NY Times following suit two weeks later, and then again in July of 2008. And, Birtherism was started by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Interestingly, Lefties have come …

Nobody Is “Censoring” Birther Nonsense + 4 Reasons Why It’s Nonsense
26 Mar 2012 5:10 am John Hawkins

Respectfully, I have to say that Roger Kimball is is so far off base here that he’s practically on the wrong planet.
The most effective form of censorship is also the quietest. It operates not by actively proscribing speech but by rendering certain topics hors de combat, literally undiscussable. It does this by propagating an atmosphere of revulsion and taboo. Ordinary censorship prohibits the dissemination of particular opinions or bits of information. The more subtle engine of silence I have in mind goes further. It stanches not only the flow of …

Fired ESPN Editor Claims no Racial Slam Meant with ‘Chink in Armor’ Headline
21 Feb 2012 7:42 pm Warner Todd Huston

The headline written by ESPN editor Anthony Federico about Asian-American basketball star Jeremy Lin lasted only about a half hour before ESPN changed it but the fallout is lasting a bit longer for editor Federico.
On its Saturday story on Jeremy Lin’s less than stellar game the night before, ESPN’s headline screamed, “Chink in the Armor.”
Sports fans were riled at this apparent racial allusion – player Jeremy being of Asian background — and ESPN pulled the headline down quickly. In this age of Internet outrage-of-the-day stories, this one was a natural …

Surprise: Super PAC Supporting Ron Paul Run By A 9/11 Truther
10 Feb 2012 8:07 am William Teach

I’m sure we’ll get all sorts of talking points about how Paul isn’t actually a truther, he just doesn’t want to annoy potential donors
(MSNBC) As libertarian Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul looks for a state he can win, some of his supporters have turned to a new theme: voting fraud.
A Super PAC supporting Paul has pledged to monitor the vote in all the remaining states, using an army of exit pollsters to fight what it calls results that are “outrageous, unacceptable and patently un-American.” The …

Gary Johnson To Supposedly Drop Out And Run As Libertarian, Take The Wacko Vote
21 Dec 2011 8:28 am William Teach

To answer your first question, yes, Gary Johnson was actually running for the GOP nomination. Yeah, I know, hard to believe.
(Politico) Gary Johnson will quit the Republican primaries and seek the Libertarian Party nomination instead, POLITICO has learned.
The former two-term New Mexico governor, whose campaign for the GOP nomination never caught fire, will make the announcement at a press conference in Santa Fe on Dec. 28. Johnson state directors will be informed of his plans on a campaign conference call Tuesday night, a Johnson campaign source told POLITICO.
In fact, the …

Supposedly, If Paul Wins Iowa, GOP Will Take The Gloves Off
19 Dec 2011 9:12 am William Teach

According to the latest polls, Paul leads with 23% in Iowa, Mitt at 20%, Newt at 14%, and, well, the others aren’t really mattering much. This brings Timothy P. Carney at the Washington Examiner to say that the GOP will take the gloves off if he does win
The Republican presidential primary has become a bit feisty, but it will get downright ugly if Ron Paul wins the Iowa caucuses.
The principled, antiwar, Constitution-obeying, Fed-hating, libertarian Republican congressman from Texas stands firmly outside the bounds of permissible dissent as …

War Drums Beating: Anti-American George Soros Promoting Anti-Americanism in Central Asia
16 Sep 2011 12:22 pm Warner Todd Huston

Richard Miniter has a very interesting article in Forbes about the damage anti-American millionaire George Soros is causing to both Central Asia and the foreign policy of the United States.
Soros is an interesting if risible figure. For good reason his name is a boogieman name for we on the right. Truthfully, though, most on the right don’t really have a full grasp on what it is he does to make his name worthy of being put in the pantheon of history’s worst haters of America.
People are aware that he uses …

Thought Of The Day: The Secret Group That’s Running The World
30 Aug 2011 2:49 am John Hawkins

The moment you start telling people that you think there’s a secret group running the world, whether it be the Illuminati, Bilderbergers, The Trilateral Commission, or Jewish bankers, most people are going to write you off as a fruit loop.
PS: They should write you off as a fruit loop because what you believe is STUPID!

Rick Perry’s NAFTA Superhighway Problem
12 Aug 2011 3:01 pm Rachel Alexander

Move over Mitt Romney. Rick Perry has a bigger problem to defend from his tenure as governor. Remember the NAFTA Superhighway project? It was to consist of a two-mile wide $184 billion transit system of toll roads, rail lines and utilities from the Texas-Mexico border all the way up to the Minnesota-Canadian border, to make it easier to ship foreign goods from China and other countries into North America. It became so unpopular in Texas that the Texas portion of it, called the Trans-Texas Corridor, was renamed and mostly disbanded a couple …

UK Minister: Denying Climate (Hoax) Deal Like Denying Hitler
22 Jul 2011 8:29 am William Teach

We could probably term this as a jumping the shark moment, yet, the anthropogenic global warming movement/cult jumped the shark about a decade or so. Unfortunately, the show hasn’t yet been cancelled
LONDON, July 21 (Reuters) – World leaders who oppose a global agreement to tackle climate change are making a similar mistake to the one made by politicians who tried to appease Adolf Hitler before World War Two, a British government minister said on Thursday.
Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Huhne said governments must redouble efforts to find a successor …

Agenda 21: Conspiracy Theory or Real Threat?
2 Jul 2011 12:55 pm Rachel Alexander

Americans are so focused on Congress and Obama at the federal level of government right now that most are overlooking the socialism creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21. It is easy to overlook local government since people are saturated with too much information in the internet age. Compounding this is the fact that Agenda 21 is a dull topic, and it becomes understandable how it has been able to fly mostly under the radar since 1992, slowly working its way into our cities and counties.
Agenda 21, which reportedly …

Boob Theory
14 Jun 2011 2:05 pm Courtney Messerschmidt

“Ve are liffing in Amerika – Coca Cola – Voonderbra”
Last years “Boob Quake” – psychically predicted by the highest levels of gay free Persia’s Preacher Command – Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi (Ho what?!) claimed hoochies, hotties and hoes “don’t dress appropriately” and spread the hot sticky lust “when promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase.”
Oh snap! Say it ain’t so!
Only, it WAS so!
“The pro-scantily-clad lobby of womanity declared today Boobquake, a day to flout and disprove the cleric by baring your boobs.
“And then a 6.9-magnitude earthquake occurred in Taiwan!”
Sweet! Let’s start worshipping …

So, the big story is that Joseph at Cannonfire has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Anthony Weiner was framed, and Case Closed!!!!!!1!!!!!
Folks, I need your help! Reader milowent offers the most intriguing possibility to arise out of this entire case:

Weiner’s Weiner: Dem. Rep’s ‘Hacking’ Story Falls Apart
29 May 2011 12:08 pm Warner Todd Huston

Over the last few days New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked when it was revealed that “someone” sent a sexually graphic picture to a young woman in Washington State from his account.
The photo, a picture of a briefs-clad man sporting an erection, was sent to a young college student named Gennette Nicole Cordova who is a student at Whatcom Community College, Bellingham, Washington. This young woman once Tweeted that Weiner was her “boyfriend.” No one is sure what sort of relationship …

Answering The Question: Why Do One-In-Five American Voters Now Believe Osama Bin Laden Is Still Alive?
16 May 2011 7:26 am John Hawkins

Over at the LA Times, Andrew Malcolm asks, “Why do one-in-five American voters now believe Osama bin Laden is still alive?“
This incredulity phenomenon is a curious creation of a high-speed global media so full of unverified and unverifiable information floating about, combined with a modern cynicism about political leaders masquerading as voter wisdom.
After so many lies and misleading claims by politicians over the decades since the Kennedy assassination and its conspiracy theories (“I am not a crook” “I did not have sex with that woman”), the safest way to look …
