‘Through a Plate Glass Window’: How Liberal Media De-Legitimize Dissent

Patterico did a post yesterday about the “Accuse the Accusers” strategy that I meant to link and discuss at length, but I didn’t get around to it because new outrages were piling up quicker than I could keep track. In just the past couple of days: Stephen Crowder got sucker-punched in the head by Michigan […]

AFL-CIO OMG WTF?

Lee Stranahan returned my phone call today. He was in Lansing, Michigan, to cover this week’s union goonfest for Breitbart.com, and he told me the story of what happened to Clint Tarver.

The Left’s New Political Judo Tactic Revealed!

by Smitty Gateway Pundit reports on the arrest of 25 SEIU demonstrators at a single event, as opposed to 0 people at Tea Party protests which numberd. . .a lot. One sees that this is all really a double-secret head fake. If SEIU can just lure the Tea Parties into a game of one-upsmanship, then […]

Union Rank-and-File in Massachusetts Deserted Democrats in Droves

The Wall Street Journal today notes that Republican Scott Brown got more union votes than Martha Coakley. That would be big news if I hadn’t already reported a week ago that SEIU members were supporting Brown and if I hadn’t reported on Election Day that an AFSCME local official was supporting Brown.
