Hate Speech and the Net for 02/23/2008

Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0800

What do Nancy Reagan and Michelle Obama have in common besides being political wives? Well, they were both under heavy scrutiny this week.

As you may know, Michelle Obama gave two speeches in Wisconsin where she said that she was proud of America for the first time in her adult life because her husband's campaign has been so well-received. That statement, of course, caused major controve ...

The Nader Factor for 03/01/2008

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0800

So Ralph Nader is running for president again, and there is no truth to the rumor that the nominating convention will be held in his garage. Too spacious.

With a few exceptions, the leftwing press were openly hostile to Nader's announcement this week, taking it very personally:

"(He) remains as obstinate, prickly and egotistical as ever," said the New Jersey Star-Ledger. ...

Why Hillary Has Come Back for 03/08/2008

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Hillary Clinton should send the Saturday Night Live writers fruit baskets and expensive bottles of wine. Without them, she might be out of the running for the presidency right now.

Allow me to explain. According to the Center for Media and Public Affairs, a nonpartisan press watchdog group, Barack Obama has been getting unprecedented favorable coverage from the American media. From the m ...

The Belushi Syndrome for 03/15/2008

Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Let's analyze this Eliot Spitzer situation without emotion because there are lessons to be learned here. First of all, Spitzer is obviously a smart guy, having graduated from Princeton and Harvard Law School, so his conduct is perplexing in its stupidity.

Spitzer made his reputation as a tough prosecutor. He understood money transfer traces, wiretaps, informants and the rest of the law e ...

McCain's Karma for 03/22/2008

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0700

John McCain must be wondering where it all went wrong. Way back in 2001, the senator joined with ultra-liberal Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin in championing "The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act," which was supposed to get the fat cats out of the election process. President Bush signed the legislation into law, and it has become forever known as the "McCain-Feingold Act."

Leftwing Civil War for 03/29/2008

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:00:00 -0700

When war broke out between conservative media people and John McCain a few months ago, the liberal press stoked the flames. Thousands of articles and TV reports deluged Americans; no anti-McCain slight was overlooked. And those reports were legitimate because a split between the Republican presidential nominee and the conservative base would no doubt influence the upcoming election.

Memo to Hollywood for 04/05/2008

Hey, Hollywood people, thanks for taking this meeting. I wish I had some good news about the new movie "Stop-Loss." But I don't. It's a bomb, a major disaster at the box office despite the presence of Ryan Phillippe. Sorry.

One thing: Why do you guys keep making these Iraq war films when nobody wants to see them? I mean, "Home of the Brave" went straight to video, and ...

Fighting for America for 04/12/2008

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700

It was interesting to see my old pal Phil Donahue making the rounds this week promoting his new anti-war documentary. Shining eyes opened incredibly wide, Donahue fulminated against the Iraq war and brooked no dissent: The war is evil and that's that.

Donahue's performance brought back memories of my debate with him on "Good Morning America." Shortly after the U.S.-backed campa ...

The Pope and Me for 04/19/2008

In the first grade, at St. Brigid's school on Long Island, Sister Mary Claudia made 60 urchins, including me, say a prayer to St. Peter because he was the "rock" upon which the Catholic Church was founded. I can't remember much more than that because I was 6, but I do recall liking St. Peter, which, of course, made the good sister happy.

Now, more than 50 years after my first-g ...

Fight Back Against Big Oil for 04/26/2008

So now we have the presidential candidates running around telling voters that they will help solve the problem of high gas prices. Well, if you believe that, you'll believe that Hugo Chavez drives a Yugo. It's just bull.

Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are calling for "investigations" into "price gouging" by American oil companies. Good. There's plenty of price ...

SOUTH BEND, Indiana — Well, it took nearly 12 years, but I finally convinced Sen. Hillary Clinton to speak with me on television. Emboldened by Barack Obama's "Rev. Wright" disaster, the senator is aggressively reaching out to independent voters, many of whom watch "The Factor."

After meeting and speaking with her face to face, my assessment is that health care ...

Race and the Presidential Election for 05/10/2008

Well, Barack Obama should be one happy guy. His big victory in North Carolina has pretty much locked up the Democratic presidential nomination. Now it is virtually impossible for Hillary Clinton to defeat him in the popular vote or in the elected delegate category.

Thus, Obama has the nomination won unless another Rev. Wright crawls into the picture. Spinners who talk about re-votes in F ...

It's the Sexism, Stupid for 05/17/2008

Could it be possible that Democratic voters are discriminating against Sen. Hillary Clinton simply because she's a woman? Is sexism the reason she is losing to Barack Obama? Say it ain't so, Gloria Steinem.

But Gloria says it is so, and so do some other female pundits. Writing in the ultra-liberal Boston Globe, a woman named Michal Regunberg claims that the mainstream media "(has) a ...

Next time you give your credit card to the gas guy and sign away another $60 or so, consider that both political parties have sold you out. For decades, no president or Congress would confront the facts that corrupt Third World countries control most of the world's oil supply and those nations are definitely not looking out for us.

This just in: Former White House spokesman Scott McClellan has written a new book that hammers President Bush! Among other things, McClellan says Mr. Bush did not handle Hurricane Katrina correctly, botched the Iraq war, which never should have been fought in the first place, and partied hard as a young guy.

That sounds like it's worth $30, does it not?

Cutting through all the fog, there are two primary reasons behind Barack Obama's stunning victory over the Clinton machine: authenticity and the war in Iraq.

As amply demonstrated, there is simply no comparison between Obama and Hillary Clinton as far as public speaking is concerned. He is eloquent and natural, talking directly to the folks. She is more stilted and rehearsed, talking

Have you seen the Baby Alex political ad that the radical-left, George Soros-funded organization "MoveOn" has produced? To some, it plays like a Saturday Night Live skit, but the intent is deadly serious: to damage John McCain.

Right now, the smart money is betting the next president of the United States will be named Obama, and dollars are the primary reason why.

Just in time for Independence Day, the bible of the American left, The New York Times, continues to opine that the United States is a "nation in decline." Hoping to see a Democrat in the White House, the newspaper has been hammering home that theme on its editorial pages.
