NYU Fires Nir Rosen, Liberal Writer Who Slammed Lara Logan as ‘War Monger’

Despite my attempt this morning to draw feminist fire, they were too busy claiming the scalp of a left-wing anti-war writer: Nirs Rosen has lost his prestigious fellowship at New York University’s Center for Law and Security. Academic fellowships are how the Left rewards journalists who advance the Left’s agenda, an academic subsidy that enables […]

Paging Jill Filipovic

Please tell me what I am permitted to say when a gang of Egyptian men celebrates the end of the Mubarak regime by sexually assaulting an American TV news reporter: Maybe Egyptians could use one of Filipovic’s pious lectures about “no means no” and “stop means stop.” I’d probably be accused of some sort of […]

Breathtaking: Liberal Calls Herman Cain ‘Minstrel,’ ‘Coon,’ ‘Sambo,’ ‘Monkey’

Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of insulting liberal condescension, they surprise you: Black History Month is Herman Cain Playing the Race Minstrel for CPAC In the Alternet article beneath that headline, pseudonymous writer Chauncey De Vega employs a lot of academic “race theory” talk to justify insulting Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain.

‘We’ll Always Have CPAC’

Ginny at Obi’s Sister paid tribute to my schmoozing abilities by dubbing me the “cruise director” of CPAC, but I had just been watching Casablanca on TCM, so I told Ginny: “Cruise director”?
