More MSNBC Awesomeness: Obama Gets Pimp-Slapped by Rachel Maddow

Via Talking Points Memo: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Between this and the Olbermann rant, MSNBC is clearly signaling a new programming strategy, to challenge Fox News as the No. 1 cable destination for Obama-haters. UPDATE: Welcome (again) Instapundit readers! I feel like Ted Williams on a hitting […]

Keith Olbermann Punk-Smacks Obama in the Best ‘Special Comment’ EVAH!

Talk about your “must-see TV”! Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy As I remarked last night on Twitter, if Glenn Beck had ever gone after Obama this hard, he would have been denounced for committing a hate-crime. (To be exact, with only 140 characters to work with, what I […]

Jill Filipovic and Amanda Marcotte to Denounce Keith Olbermann in 3, 2, 1 . . .

Defenders of Julian Assange are now “downshifting from Camille Paglia to Three Days of the Condor,” resorting to a conspiracy-theory defense of the WikiLeaker’s First Amendment right to condom-free sex with Swedish socialists: Here’s how an evidence-free, innuendo-filled personal attack on a rape accuser trespasses the mainstream political debate. On his Twitter feed, MSNBC host […]

She’s Certainly Making the Right Enemies

Congratulations, Governor Palin: You can add the hatred of Charles Johnson, next to the pathological obsession of Andrew Sullivan, in your trophy case. As to Joe Scarborough’s accusation that Palin is a “cultural icon” of “anti-intellectualism” . . . Hey, let’s go to the video: “To all you people who want to send me e-mails: Don’t waste […]

Outrageous: MSNBC Broadcast Causes Left-Wing Woman to Make Fake School-Shooting Threat Blamed on Tea Party

On Nov. 9, South Florida talk-radio host Joyce Kaufman was named as chief of staff for newly-elected Republican congressman Allen West. That night, Rachel Maddow aired a video of Kaufman giving a fiery speech at a Tea Party. A shooting threat Nov. 10 led to the shutdown of Broward schools, and Kaufman’s resignation was announced Nov. 11.  Two weeks […]

Wow. I Think I Agree With Olbermann.

Of course, he buys into — and foments on his own — some fairly predictable liberal propaganda (e.g., Republicans were pro-Nazi circa 1940), but insofar as he seeks to point out the differences between factual reporting, opinionated analysis and the “the false god of objectivity,” he’s onto something here: If only Keith Olbermann could be […]

Keith Olbermann and Sam Francis

When it was revealed that Keith Olbermann had donated to Democratic candidates he had interviewed, I was not outraged: Being strictly a neutral, objective journalist myself — “Ethics, shmethics!” — I don’t think Olbermann should be fired from NBC, which is as about as neutral and objective as Pravda or the Daily Worker. No one […]

Civil War or Uncivil Peace

My colleague deploys to defend our freedom recalling the stoic song of Scottish courage: War or peace, it’s all the same to me. I’ll be killed in the war or hung during peace. Or, as that same dauntless spirit was once expressed on a famous battlefield: “Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer!” It […]
