T-Paw Turns The Other Cheek To Bachmann

Posted by Matthew Knee on August 15, 2011 7 Comments

In dropping out when he did, Tim Pawlenty may have done his apparent foe Michele Bachmann a big favor. From their past scuffles in Minnesota politics to their fiery confrontation at last week's debate to the fact that her defeating him in Iowa ultimately...

Report – CNN, CBS and NY Times polls show CNN, CBS and NY Times anti-Tea Party strategy working

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 14, 2011 33 Comments

There does seem something very circular about CNN, CBS and NY Times polling showing an increase in negative views of the Tea Party, considering that such negative views are driven by biased CNN, CBS and NY Times reporting blaming the Tea Party movement for the S&P downgrade of the U.S....

Once again, the mainstream media is chasing after Sarah Palin as she visits various part of the country. Just like her early summer bus tour, I can't help but laugh to see the likes of Chuck Todd breathlessly reporting such important events as Palin getting back in...

Via The NY Times: Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, told supporters on a conference call Sunday morning that he is ending his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination after a disappointing third-place finish at the Iowa straw poll.

Anyone but Bachmann

As you know, I have zero tolerance for Republicans who trash talk Sarah Palin. Three years of Palin Derangement Syndrome have made me allergic; Palin stands apart from other Republican candidates in that regard.

But today is not a work day, so we should be okay. And it's a good thing the driver is from Maine and not Tennessee. Personally, I'm against profanity on bumper stickers. Children could be watching. So I would have used the following wording instead: "Obama: The...

Saturday Night Card Game (Mainstream media made up of freaked-out race card players)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 13, 2011 14 Comments

This is the latest in a series on the use of the race card for political gain: It is hard for the mainstream media to outdo itself in its attempt to portray the Tea Party movement as racist. But CNBC reporter Meredith Whitney may have accomplished the...

It's hard to believe the media narrative about Palin ever could change. But it could change among the less crazed. MSNBC always will be foaming at the mouth, but others would have a hard time keeping up the hate. Update: To readers complaining about how Bachmann was...

James Taranto has a post The Great Deflation (via Instapundit) in which he writes that: Like a leaky balloon, Barack Obama keeps getting smaller. Taranto compares Obama's lofty rhetoric during the 2008 campaign, when he grandly proclaimed that "this was the moment when the rise of the...
