The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Another Pat Condell Outing

by Smitty (h/t Jihad Watch) Pat Condell, making yet another excellent point:

Carol Swain vs. the ‘Tolerance Mafia’

“When my face was smeared across the papers in my state with accusations that I was an apologist for white supremacy, I thought it was time to get involved.” — Professor Carol Swain, Vanderbilt University Law School

Oh, Canada?

by Smitty (h/t Lucianne) Ottawa cancels Ann Coulter. Right-wing antagonist Ann Coulter cancelled a University of Ottawa address last night after organizers decided it wasn’t safe to speak. The move followed boisterous demonstrations outside that sponsors of the appearance feared could turn violent. Mark Steyn will no doubt have something blistering on this one, but […]

Dennis Prager, Charles Johnson and Understanding the Left’s Smear Tactics

While I responded jocularly when Dennis Prager’s column was first published, a reader e-mailed today to suggest that maybe Prager would actually like to discuss this at greater length, so I sent this e-mail to Prager’s producer, Allen Estrin: Dear Mr. Estrin: In his Jan. 26 syndicated column, Dennis Prager responded to Charles Johnson (Little […]
