On Easter, Google Doodle Celebrates Union Leader Cesar Chavez
31 Mar 2013 1:14 pm Warner Todd Huston

This year, March 31 is Easter Day, the day that American Christians celebrate Jesus Christ having risen from the tomb to join his Father in Heaven. But instead of hosting a doodle celebrating that sacred holiday, this March 31, Google is celebrating the birth of famed union activist Cesar Chavez.

Cesar Chavez was born on March 31, 1927 and is most well known for organizing south western farm workers into unions in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. In 1962, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) with fellow activist Dolores …

Piers Morgan’s Ratings In The Toilet After Gun Control Rants
30 Mar 2013 1:25 am John Hawkins

The only thing worse than a know-nothing Brit who comes to America to complain about our country is a know-nothing Brit who comes to America to complain about our country who also has horrible ratings.
Speaking of Piers Morgan, he used to be #1 on CNN. Now, Andersen Coooper has passed him. Additionally, in the crucial 25-54 demographic, Piers Morgan has now fallen behind Cooper AND the Situation Room. Of course, that’s just on CNN. He’s also losing his time slot to Hannity, the Rachel Maddow Show and even Dr. …

Ted Turner’s Son: CNN So Far Left, ‘I Have a Hard Time Watching’
24 Mar 2013 6:29 pm Warner Todd Huston

Ted Turner’s son, Teddy, recently appeared on the Steve Malzberg show for a visit and when the topic turned to CNN, his dad’s cable TV network, he didn’t hold back. The network is “pretty much to the left,” Teddy Turner said.
The Turner scion then went on to note that because CNN is so far left, “I have a hard time watching them a lot of times.”
Teddy Turner also says he once warned the executives at CNN that the, “left is not the way to go in talk radio or in …

Pamela Geller on the Left’s ‘Stealth Jihad’ on Our Free Speech
22 Mar 2013 4:00 pm Warner Todd Huston

Famed anti-jihad activist Pamela Geller made a splash with her appearance at the special Breitbart breakout panel, “The Uninvited,” at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
In true Breitbart fashion, Breitbart News–itself a sponsor of the 2013 CPAC–held its own panel and stocked it with some of those voices that were systematically prevented from officially speaking at the conservative event. Seeking to engage with voices beyond those approved by both the Old Media and the GOP establishment, Breitbart News sponsored “The Uninvited,” a panel featuring topics, experts, and personalities that …

ABC’s Latest Misleading Gun Poll
18 Mar 2013 7:42 pm Warner Todd Huston

ABC has released the results of another gun poll claiming that support for background checks at gun shows has “vast public support.” But neither the poll nor ABC’s report notes that background checks already routinely occur at gun shows.
The poll focused on the various gun control bills currently coursing through Congress with one question asking whether or not respondents support “requiring background checks on people buying guns at gun shows.”
Pointing out that Congress is considering a bill (S. 436) that would expand background checks, ABC reports that “a nearly unanimous …

Piers Morgan: We All ‘Need The Nanny State Occasionally’
13 Mar 2013 5:00 pm Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s Piers Morgan sees no reason why America shouldn’t turn into a nanny state. During his March 11 broadcast, Morgan insisted that, “people need the nanny state occasionally.”
With guest Christine Quinn, on his late evening CNN talk show Morgan lamented what he felt was a bad decision by a New York judge who shut down Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s soda ban. Morgan was all in for a politician deciding for all of us what we are and what we aren’t allowed to eat.
During the discussion, Quinn said she disagreed with banning …

Minn. TV News Ignores Facts: Muslims Attacked Christian Church Meeting
8 Mar 2013 7:02 pm Warner Todd Huston

A Minnesota TV news story perpetrated a perfect example of one-sided “news” coverage especially where it concerns the politically correct treatment of two, innocent, doe-eyed Muslims who, gosh darn it, just want to be loved like you and me. Naturally, the TV station does not report the truth that the two Muslims they laud actually infiltrated a meeting at a Christian church in order to attack a guest and disparage Christians.
An Assembly of God Church in Perham, Minnesota, invited well-known critic of radical Islam, Walid Shoebat, to speak about …

Tom Brokaw: Obama Spends Too Much Time Campaigning
6 Mar 2013 6:24 pm Warner Todd Huston

Old NBC News hand Tom Brokaw made an appearance on MSNBC’s The Cycle on March 4 and criticized President Obama for campaigning too much instead of governing. Brokaw also castigated Obama for refusing to negotiate with Republicans over the budget impasse and the sequester cuts.
Extremely liberal panel member, Touré, asked Brokaw if the budget impasse was because the GOP is “refusing” to work with Obama because they are “incented” [sic] not to work with him.
Brokaw replied that he didn’t think that Republicans were flat out refusing to work with the …

Bloomberg Businessweek Apologizes for ‘Racist’ Magazine Cover
5 Mar 2013 8:09 pm Warner Todd Huston

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s media group has apologized for its February 21 cover of Bloomberg Businessweek over complaints that it used racist imagery to illustrate the feature story on the housing market.
With a title of “The Great American Housing Rebound: Flips. No-look bids. 300 percent returns. What could possibly go wrong?,” the cover illustration featured Latino and African American American caricatures awash in a sea of government money.
The image was criticized as racist by several organizations and media outlets.
Ryan Chittum of the Columbia Journalism Review praised Bloomberg Businessweek for …

Washington Post: Hey, You Warmists Are Idiots And Fighting The Wrong Battle
5 Mar 2013 9:29 am William Teach

Well, the editorial board doesn’t specifically call the climate astrologers idiots, but, it’s implies it
Environmentalists are fighting the wrong battles
Really, they’ve been fighting the wrong battles for over 20 years. Instead of dealing with real environmental issues and wisely pushing for cost effective alternative energy, they’ve been hysterical and wrapping every real issue under the banner of hotcoldwetdry, er, climate change, attempting to control the weather, while virtually refusing to make anything other than token changes in their own lives. Anyhow
PRESIDENT OBAMA began his second term with a promise to …

Greens Fret Over Obama Admin Keystone Report
4 Mar 2013 11:50 pm Warner Todd Huston

The State Department has released its much-anticipated report on the environmental impact of the Keystone Pipeline and, to the alarm of the green lobby, it seems to leave President Obama with little reason to continue delaying construction.
The 2,000-page report makes no final recommendation on whether or not to approve construction of the energy project, but does definitively say that the pipeline would have “no significant impacts to most resources along the proposed Project route.”
This runs contrary to the fears of environmental groups that have said the pipeline would be “essentially …

Perino: When Bush Admin Tried to Slam Bob Woodward, The Left Rallied For Him
3 Mar 2013 10:22 pm Warner Todd Huston

In an appearance on Fox News, former Bush White House Press Secretary Dana Perino noted that when the Bush team tried to push back against Bob Woodward’s reportage it “failed miserably” because the media rallied behind the iconic reporter. Yet now, after harsh words about Obama, Woodward is being treated like a pariah by that same media.
With Bob Woodward in the news over his report that someone in the Obama administration threatened that he’d “regret” writing so harshly about the President, Fox News talked about how the Bush administration dealt …

Rep. Maxine Waters Inflates Sequester to ’170 Million’ Jobs Lost
2 Mar 2013 4:43 pm Warner Todd Huston

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D, CA) had a dire prediction for America due to sequestration claiming that 170 million jobs would be lost as a result of the policy. But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are only about 140 million jobs in the whole country.
During a press conference on February 28, Waters told reporters of a visit by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke who told members of congress that sequestration is not the optimal way to cut the federal budget.
Talking of Bernanke’s comments, Waters claimed that “if sequestration …

Bashing Benedict: Networks Slam Retiring Pope
1 Mar 2013 5:29 pm Warner Todd Huston

A new study by the Culture and Media Institute of Pope Benedict’s retirement reveals constant attacks, ridicule, and repeated allusions to scandals as ABC, CBS, and NBC reported on Benedict’s final days.
The survey reveals that the Catholic Church was repeatedly deemed “troubled,” the Church was attacked for not “modernizing,” the real-world Church was constantly compared to the fictitious world of novelist Dan Brown and his Da Vinci Code series of books, and late night TV hosts turned Benedict into a butt of jokes.
On February 11, Pope Benedict announced his retirement …

Ana Marie Cox Thinks Breitbart and His ‘Minions’ Are Bad Bad People
28 Feb 2013 1:35 pm Matt Vespa

Ana Marie Cox of the Guardian isn’t on our team. That’s fine. However, to label us the “jackass” wing of journalism only demonstrates the left’s inability to hold their own side accountable. She seems to feel that all of the criticism she outlines in her piece about conservative media are absent on the left. This Friday will mark the one year anniversary of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, and it seems Cox is frustrated, angry, and perhaps threatened by the legacy he left behind.
Let’s just get this out of the way right up front: Ana Marie …

Obama Fails to Register ‘OrganizingForAction.net,’ Hilariously, Site Re-Directs to NRA Homepage
26 Feb 2013 9:22 pm Warner Todd Huston

At the beginning of the year, President Barack Obama’s new 501(c)4 political nonprofit, Organizing For Action, was launched with all the usual bells and whistles. But the tech wizards at OFA forgot one important rule in today’s Internet world: Register all the iterations of your website address before someone else does.
Now Obama’s team is filing complaints against the folks smart enough to get the addresses before he did.
As Obama’s OFA made its debut, no one in his purportedly Internet-savvy campaign had obtained the corresponding .com, .net, .org or .us …

Visual Aid: The Stupidity of What Constitutes an ‘Assault Weapon’
24 Feb 2013 1:02 am Warner Todd Huston

First of all, there is no such thing as an “assault weapon.” But, despite that fact, when half-wit leftists try to define what an “assault weapon” is, all they really end up doing is describing what such a weapon looks like not what the weapon does.
Essentially you get this…

Note that the two weapons in the illustration above are both single shot muskets. But when all sorts of cosmetic bric-a-brac is added to the musket, it sure makes it appear more menacing.
All the fancy grips, plastic stocks, bayonet lugs, scopes, all …

Michael Bloomberg Scalps Toi Hutchinson In Special Election to Fill Jackson’s Seat
22 Feb 2013 10:51 am Matt Vespa

As Jesse Jackson, Jr. awaits sentencing for misuse of campaign funds, the special election to replace him has seen State Sen. Toi Hutchinson drop out due to her positive ratings from the NRA. Hutchinson, a Democrat, received an A- rating from the organization, which is anathema to Democratic voters. Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York and his anti-gun super PAC have been trying to pick off pro-gun Democrats before the primary. As a result, Hutchinson dropped out of the race.
State Sen. Toi Hutchinson, targeted in recent days by critical anti-gun campaign …

Where Was the Media’s Love for ‘Transparency’ the Last Four Years?
21 Feb 2013 6:36 am Greg Campbell

President Obama took yet another vacation last week and while Marie Antoinette Michelle took the kids on a fabulous ski trip in Aspen- her 16th vacation since moving into the White House, Barack went golfing with Tiger Woods in Florida.
But the lavish leisurely pursuits of Barack, the “Man of the People,” are nothing new. The real story here is the press’ response to being left out.
The president kept the press at bay and they went crazy. “Legitimate” news organizations snuck around the links like paparazzi looking to grab a picture …
