Obama Shifting Positions on Gun Ownership?
Great catch by Cam Edwards, who finds something, er, odd in two statements by the Obama campaign. Here’s the first article, published by Reason. Responding to criticism that Obama has since changed his position on gun control, his campaign declares that “Obama has been consistent.” However, here’s an article published by USA Today: Obama also [...]
AP: Dems Taking McCain’s “100 Years” Comment Out of Context
29. February 2008
We already knew that, of course, but in this scenario the AP can act as an “authentic voice” on the smears. No, John McCain is not proposing a 100-year war in Iraq. …. THE SPIN: Obama: “We are bogged down in a war that John McCain now suggests might go on for another 100 years.” [...]
AP Forces Snapped Shot to Shut Down
29. February 2008
Seems like the Associated Press just doesn’t like criticism. I’d assume the use of some of the AP’s images falls under Section 107 of Title 17 of the United States Code (AKA Fair Use), considering the usage was for the purpose of commentary. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections § 106 and § 106A, the fair [...]
Tax Breaks for Hugo Chavez
29. February 2008
Courtesy of House Democrats, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez and his state-run oil company may be receiving a tax break. House Republicans criticized energy legislation passed late Wednesday, saying that it would raise taxes on the oil industry but give tax breaks to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the state-run oil company CITGO. “Middle-class families and [...]
Galloway: “I have no enemies in Afghanistan”
28. February 2008
On a Moonbat scale of 1 to 10, Galloway appears somewhere around 12. Speaking on BBC1’s Question Time on Thursday evening, Mr Galloway said: “Prince Harry was saying on TV that he was engaging the enemy. “I don’t know about you, but I have no enemies in Afghanistan.” Challenged by host David Dimbleby over whether [...]
Angelia Jolie: We Can’t Abandon Iraq
28. February 2008
Er, this was…unexpected. My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis. Today’s humanitarian crisis in Iraq — and the potential consequences for our national security — are great. Can the [...]
Bobby Jindal 2012?
28. February 2008
Gov. Bobby Jindal has two goals as governor: 1) Chew bubble gum, 2) Kick special interest ass. And folks, he’s all out of bubble gum. BATON ROUGE, La. — Downstairs, legislators gnashed their teeth, while upstairs at the Capitol here this week, the new governor claimed victory against the old customs down below. Six weeks [...]
Drudge Shouldn’t Have Broken the Moratorium
28. February 2008
While it may be interesting to discover that Prince Harry, third in line for the British throne, has taken it upon himself to serve in Afghanistan, the revelation’s potential consequences weren’t worth the unveiling. A moratorium on the news had been willingly placed on mediums, who understand that the Prince is, in fact, a moving [...]
Ahmadinejad Getting Increasingly Delusional
28. February 2008
The question is, of course, whether or not he actually believes his own rhetoric. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared on Thursday that Iran was the world’s “number one” power, as he launched a bitter new assault on domestic critics he accused of siding with the enemy. “Everybody has understood that Iran is the number one power [...]
Obama Giving Different Messages to Canadians on NAFTA?
28. February 2008
Ed Morrissey to this CTV article, reporting on the Obama campaign’s communications with Canadian officials on NAFTA. It seems he’s telling them not to take his anti-NAFTA rhetoric so seriously. Barack Obama has ratcheted up his attacks on NAFTA, but a senior member of his campaign team told a Canadian official not to take his [...]
