Do the Kentucky Head-Stomp!

It’s the dance sensation that’s sweeping the nation: Lisa Graas (who experienced the frightening online wrath of Paulistas during the Kentucky GOP primary) linked this story at her blog. I’m hesitant to jump to conclusions about what actually happened in this kind of made-for-TV publicity stunt. Who were these “Rand Paul supporters” who roughed up MoveOn.org activist […]

‘Ran Into Rahm Emmanuel In The Train Station This Morning’

by Smitty Narrative due to Williscroft: “Rahm!” I shouted, walking up & sticking out my hand. He took it and gave it a limp-wristed shake, smiling something trite. I gripped hard and didn’t let go. “You’re in for a pretty hard time come Election Day, aren’t you?” I said, breathing down into his little chimp […]

How Illinois Democrat Official Sue Walton Puts Down (Married Father of Four) Andrew Breitbart: ‘I Think He’s Gay’

In general, I avoid the “liberals are hypocrites” line of argument that highlights episodes of Democrats engaging in sexism, racism and homophobia, because (a) plenty of other conservatives employ that argument, and (b) my feeling is that political correctness exaggerates the extent and/or danger of these postmodern “sins” against the Religion of Tolerance.

Oh, The Preciousss, Preciousss Narrative!

Smitty (h/t Gateway Pundit) So much of the smoke and mirrorssuccess of the current administration, and the Men from O.R.G.A.S.M., is predicated upon an audience of willing dupes.
