Chick-fil-A fires back at media’s mischaracterization of their giving

Posted by Anne Segal on September 21, 2012 20 Comments

This Wednesday, I reported that the media were falsely reporting that Chick-fil-A had decided to cease donations to "anti-gay" groups. Scores of so-called reputable news outlets like the Los Angeles Times and ABC News ran headlines declaring that Chick-fil-A had changed its policy toward giving to...

How do we know Scott Brown won the debate last night?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 21, 2012 21 Comments

There is no question that Scott Brown won the debate last night. It wasn't a knock out. As Howie Carr correctly notes, a man can't get away with hitting a woman too hard in a debate: When he was pummeling her on the asbestos litigation, and her...

Posted by Anne Segal on September 20, 2012 9 Comments

There's an extremely competitive race going on in the IL-8 congressional district; it's just the Democrats don't want anyone to find out. This is the race between Tea Party stalwart Congressman Joe Walsh and the DNC darling Tammy Duckworth. Walsh made headlines in 2010 for his well-fought...

If Tommy Thompson loses, blame the Tea Party

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 20, 2012 36 Comments

for splitting the vote between Eric Hovde and Mark Neumann, allowing Thompson to win the primary with under 40% of the vote. I have a bad feeling about this, via Althouse: Thompson was up 9 points in the polls a month ago, and now he's down 9 points. It's useless...

CAIR Package Accidentally Contains the Truth

I found myself wondering why the Council on American-Islamic Relations had been so quiet since the 9/11/ attacks in Libya and two dozen other Islamic countries.

New poll shows Scott Brown in lead

Posted by William A. Jacobson on September 19, 2012 23 Comments

There have been several polls released recently, showing everything from a virtual dead heat to Elizabeth Warren ahead by low single digits.
