I think that the best segment by far on “The O’Reilly Factor” belongs to the political comedian Dennis Miller. He deserves more than the 3 or 4 minutes a week of air time that O’Reilly gives him.
Last night, for example, Miller captured President Obama’s West Point speech perfectly. Referring to Obama’s rhetorical flourishes covering his plan [...]

Shocking: Leftist Jon Stewart Talks about ClimateGate
December 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It’s unbelievable, but while the entire Left has decided to ignore ClimateGate, leftist comedian Jon Stewart broke ranks. On his show yesterday, Stewart shattered the silence surrounding the scandal and actually criticized the scientists involved. It’s yet another sign that Conservatives are mistaken to believe that the host of “The Daily Show” is one and [...]
A Spoonful of Saccharine: Geopolitical Realities No Barrier to Maddow Blaming Bush for All Problems
December 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment
By now, you’ve all seen President Obama’s speech, wherein he agreed to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan (though most definitely not a surge of the kind used in Iraq and suggested by many for quite some time now, we are assured). Now, Rachel Maddow often tries to walk a peculiar line in which she [...]

Mike Flynn thought it was a crazy idea. When James O’Keefe, a 25-year-old, self-styled investigative journalist, first approached him last August about promoting a series of candid-camera style videos on the community organizing group ACORN, Flynn, an old Washington hand and editor of the new libertarian-themed website Big Government, initially dismissed the project as far-fetched.

Run Away! Run Away!
The first twenty minutes of President Obama’s speech at West Point found me in a state of shock. His clear and forceful justification for our presence in Afghanistan, sound identification of the enemy, the Taliban and not just Al Qaida, and the declaration of his intention to commit the necessary troops to
“disrupt, [...]
Savoring the Left’s Tear-Stained Tweets Over Obama’s Afghanistan Speech
December 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A tweet from leftist blogger Atrios near the conclusion of President Obama’s Afghanistan speech:
haven’t always agreed with obama, first time i didn’t think he believed his own spiel
And here’s what neo-communist Michael Moore (who I aggressively corrected this morning) had to tweet:
President Obama has now officially declared himself a war president. A sad moment indeed [...]

The Spin Stops Where, Exactly? O’Reilly Pitches Soft Balls to Huckabee
December 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
On Monday’s O’Reilly Factor, Mike Huckabee made his first television appearance since serial felon Maurice Clemmons (allegedly) murdered four police officers on Sunday morning. Since the murders, the media have lambasted Fox News analyst and former Arkansas governor Huckabee for having commuted Clemmons’ life sentence back in 2000. I had been curious as [...]
