With the Republican Party winning big in Congress, governorships and state legislatures this week, you just knew the left-wing media would have to find some way to spin the results. In what character assassin David Frum (of course) hails as an “important column,” the Daily Beast’s John Avlon claims to “prove the wingnuts”—that is, the [...]

Sure, unemployment is expected to rise again and Catholics are getting murdered in Iraq, but forget about all that for now. You see, we’ve got a real problem to deal with: rotten conservatives are making too much money. Newsweek’s latest Power 50 list, which identifies the most financially-successful (and therefore influential) political figures of the [...]

As voters headed to the polls yesterday to decide how many allies the current president will have in Congress come January, some have started to contemplate the reputation of his predecessor. Former President George W. Bush’s memoir Decision Points will be released next week, leading the Daily Beast’s Bryan Curtis to take a look at [...]

Above: Electoral Gold, Guaranteed The big day’s almost here. Tomorrow the American people will go to the polls and let Washington, DC, know just what they’ve thought of the Hope & Change agenda. Many predict the Democrats will lose big, causing leftists to conjure up excuses for the defeat that mean something, anything other than [...]

A secret agent and her hubby, keeping a low profile. It looks like the new history-rewriting movie Fair Game, starring Sean Penn and Naomi Watts, isn’t enough to satisfy Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame’s quest to stay relevant. In a fawning, uncritical retrospective on their “victimization” at the hands of the Bush Administration for the [...]

Lefty propaganda like this is only half-right: many Republicans don’t prey on fear, they suffer from it. It’s days like this – days when we see rampant corruption running virtually unchallenged – when I’m tempted to throw up my hands and ask why I even bother with politics. There is no issue that more clearly [...]

According to Blogging 101, when criticizing someone for saying something that isn’t true, it’s generally a good idea to point out how the alleged falsehood is, y’know, false. But I guess things work a little differently at Crooks and Liars. Today, they’re ticked off that Sean Hannity and Brit Hume have the gall to suggest [...]

…except when it’s obedience to subsidized leftist propaganda. Firing somebody because you choose to interpret a single statement out of context and in the worst possible light is bad enough, but what makes National Public Radio’s firing of Juan Williams over a recent “O’Reilly Factor” appearance especially odious is that they’re pulling crap like this [...]

I knew my recent Ron Paul-bashing post would get the Paulites into a tizzy—they’ve been as charming as ever in the comments, and now Wesley Messamore at Young Americans for Liberty, an activist group started by young Paul drones, is taking shots at me for my “specious and empty charges” against the demented one. But [...]

No, you haven’t stumbled upon a different website. We here at NewsRealBlog have plenty of problems with the Kentucky Republican, but this week I have no choice but to admit that there’s one area in which he might be able to teach his fellow midterm election candidates a thing or two: dealing with demagogic Democrats.
