"Rack" and Ruin: Rightbloggers Have a Messy CPAC

Last week the 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) met at National Harbor in Maryland near DC. If you heard anything about it, you probably heard about a CPAC forum called "Are You Sick and Tired of Being Called a Racist and You Know You're Not One?" that was every bit the dis ... More >>

"Day of Resistance" and The Case of The Rightbloggers Who Didn't Bark

Did you miss the Day of Resistance? Don't even know what it is? Well, it was a tea-party style throwdown last Saturday, in which thousands of your fellow citizens went packing in public to give Kenyan Pretender Obama the old cold-dead-hands salute. You might expect our friends the rightbloggers wo ... More >>

Joe Biden Talks About Chains; Rightbloggers Hardest Hit

Vice President Joe Biden said in a speech last week that the GOP's calls to "unchain Wall Street" really mean "they gonna put y'all back in chains." Having just launched their own Vice-Presidential candidate to less than earth-shaking effect, rightbloggers flipped out over Biden's remarks, expressi ... More >>

After Batman Theater Shooting, Rightbloggers Rush to Defend What's Important: Guns, Themselves

Last week's terrible incident in Aurora, Colorado in which 70 people were shot, 12 fatally, at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises made many of us think about how awful these episodes of senseless violence are, how precious and fragile life is, and that we should stay close and be good to ou ...

Think Different: Rightbloggers Mourn the Death of Noted Conservative Hippie-Hater Steve Jobs

The death last week of Apple founder Steve Jobs was sad news for his friends, family, and the computer and design world in general. Rightbloggers mostly took it as an occasion to tell the world that Jobs was right-wing -- or, if not right-wing in the sense of having actually expressed right-wing be ... More >>

On 9/11, Rightbloggers Denounce America's Mortal Enemies: Democrats and Paul Krugman

On the 10th anniversary weekend of the September 11 attacks, every single living American blogger wrote a 9/11 memorial post. (Those who did not have been drummed out of the union.) Rightbloggers' 9/11 posts are always interesting, so we figured they'd be extra-good for 9/11 X. We were not disappo ... More >>

Called Anti-Science, Rightbloggers Reply That Science is a Liberal Plot

With the ascension of Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and other GOP candidates who don't cotton to this evolution or climate change stuff, people have begun to ask if Republicans and conservatives are actually becoming hostile to science. It doesn't help that one of those people is Repu ... More >>

Barack Obama Didn't Remove Ground Zero American Flag With His Freedom-Hating Hands

​"One minute to air and they decided to take the flag down from the live shot!" ABC News reporter Jake Tapper tweeted yesterday from Ground Zero, along with the image to the right. It was just after President Barack Obama's visit to New York City to celebrate the killing of Osama Bin Laden, so ... More >>

Rightbloggers Denounce the Wealthy, Treasonous Schoolteachers of Wisconsin

The effort by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and the Republican-led state legislature to deprive the state's teachers of collective bargaining rights was catnip to rightbloggers last week. This is because it involves two of their traditional objects of hatred: Unions and public education. You kno ... More >>

Why Doesn't the Mexican Translate All His Spanish Words?

And does he advocate calling a young girl a “white bitch”?

Ace In The Hole: Rightbloggers Say Chile Mine Rescue Means Obama Sucks, Capitalism Rules

Last week we talked about the Tennessee fire department that let a man's house burn to the ground because he hadn't paid protection money, and the rightbloggers who thought this was a laudable example of free market justice. This week they celebrated another free market triumph -- though at least t ... More >>

On Labor Day, Rightbloggers Denounce Labor Day, Unions, Minimum Wage, Etc.

Happy Labor Day! You're probably thinking about picnics or sales, rather than about Joe Hill, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, strikes, solidarity, and such like. That's okay. Enjoy your day off -- which, like any other days off you may have, was won for you long ago by union people getting ... More >>

Eric Massa: The Final Indignities

Saturday Night Live got on the Massa thing, and even hauled in Jerry Seinfeld for the snorkeling jokes. Other late coverage has similarly devolved to the fanciful. Queerty asks "Why Does Every Cable News Chatfest About Rep. Eric Massa Have to Suck So Bad?" and notices that Bill Press, one of th ... More >>

Stupidest Thing Said (So Far) About Bill Clinton's Hospitalization

​"Now, a timely reminder: Stents don't grow on trees. They were not created, developed, marketed, or sold by government bureaucrats and lawmakers. One of the nation's top stent manufacturers, Boston Scientific, has weighed in on the Democrats' proposed massive taxes on medical device maker..." ... More >>

Obama's Post-Crotch-Bomber Statement: We're Doing Things, Stay "Confident," Etc.

The President was subdued in his post-crotch-bomber address today. In and among the never-give-in-to-terror boilerplate, he informed us that more air marshals have been sent up, that federal and local law enforcement were "working closely" with international partners (It's another Interpol extraco ...

Troopers: Hanging Census Worker Was Suicide, Not Murdered

​You may remember the death of census worker Bill Sparkman in September, in which he was found hanging with the word "FED" scrawled across his chest. As he worked in a rural section of Kentucky, where anti-government sentiment is assumed to be high, some suspected that he had been murdered for ... More >>

Gay Marriage Revoked in Maine

​Yahoos displeased by the results in NY-23 may take comfort that Maine appears to have rejected the marriage equality bill that was passed by its state legislature in May. For example, National Review's Thomas Peters: "My favorite part of last night's election coverage was watching Rachel Mad ... More >>

Rightbloggers Get a Scalp, and Perhaps a Party, in NY-23

On the weekend before a nationally-covered upstate New York Congressional election, the Republican candidate endorsed the Democratic candidate. This is a rarity in American politics, if not a first. Rightbloggers played a key role in this historical achievement. Let's step back several weeks and ... More >>

Obama Outrage Du Jour: Won't Meet With Hippies in San Francisco

Fresh from disgusting the nation with his so-called "Nobel 'Peace' Prize," President Obama's latest outrage is that he will not meet with hippies in San Francisco, but will instead meet with rich people at a Democratic fundraiser there. "Hiding from the leftists in San Francisco," says Michelle Mal ... More >>

Barack Obama Nobel Peace Prize FTW (Update: Rightbloggers React!)

​ Apparently somebody thinks promising to close Gitmo and stop torture, making a speech to the Arab world, and in general not being so much of a dick as most recent Presidents deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. What do we know? Maybe all previous winner Muhammad Yunus' microlending doesn't have ... More >>

Tea Party People Mystified By Public Transportation

​Last weekend there was a Tea Party protest in Washington, with attendance estimated between 60,000-70,000 (ABC News) and a zillion kabillion (Michelle Malkin). Yet all was not good times and accusations of fascism. The Wall Street Journal reports that Texas Congressman Kevin Brady has complai ... More >>

Joe Wilson Censured

​And oh yeah, the House voted to censure Joe Wilson, 240-179, for shooting his mouth off at the President's address last week. We share the attitude of Barney Frank, who said, "I think it's bad precedent to put us in charge of deciding whether people act like jerks. I don't have time to monito ... More >>

Outrage Du Jour! Utah Kids See Old Obama Video; Rightbloggers Cry Hitler

A teacher principal and PTA leaders at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington, Utah showed students the "I Pledge" video created back in January by some celebrities (or, in the customary rightwing usage, "celebutards") like will.i.am and Demi Moore, with such fanciful oaths as "to smile more, t ...

Rightbloggers Expose Evil Little Girl at Obama Town Hall

​Rightblogger Michelle Malkin reveals to a shocked public that the little girl who asked Obama about the mean signs at yesterday's Health Care Town Hall is the daughter of Democratic activists. "Skreee," says Malkin, "Skreeeeeeee." Gateway Pundit shows pictures of the girl's mother wearing a ... More >>

Obama Health Care Town Hall Not So Noisy as Previous Versions

We came in late on the Obama Health Care Town Hall Meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, but from the way MSNBC had the sound engineered -- Obama and questioners loud, background sound low -- we expect we didn't miss much of the now-traditional yelling, if it occurred -- though we're sure YouTube ...

Groovy Hate F*ck: Playboy, Rightbloggers, and the Death of South Park Conservatism

Last week Playboy did a crude take on conservative women whom the author, Guy Cimbalo, said he would like to "hate-fuck." Attacks on the piece, which was quickly pulled (though excerpts quoted in the commentary, as well as captured screenshots, testify to its ugliness), were numerous. The few li ... More >>

Rightbloggers Protest the Incivility of Their Gay Treasonous Douchebag Opposition

Last week Michelle Malkin wrote a column, which she also published at her site, called "$%^&*!!: Civility and tolerance in the Age of Obama." Her theme was that liberals were uncivil and intolerant; also, mean and profane. Her primary example was the comments of gossip blogger Perez Hilton, not ... More >>

Pirates Attack Yanks, Yanks Fight Back -- All Obama's Fault!

When Somali pirates grabbed a ship with an American crew, rightbloggers immediately declared, as usual, it was proof that Obama is a failure. "So far, the White House response has been weak," said Michelle Malkin within seconds. "Will this be a 'new chance for dialogue'?" sneered Hot Air. "Why were ... More >>

Rightbloggers Culture-War For John Galt, Against Jon Stewart and Meghan McCain

In Sunday's New York Times, Frank Rich wrote that culture warriors -- that is, those "intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years" -- are being "laid off" in the Obama era, because people are too concerned with the genuine crisis of the economy to ...

Tea Party Draws a Dozen-Plus Protesters

We just ran down to Bowling Green, home of the Bull, to attend today's Tea Party protest. You may remember these are a big thing in conservative circles, and one in City Hall Park two Saturdays ago drew 200-250 people. This one drew a dozen brave souls, though there were a couple people who wan ... More >>

Rightbloggers Say: Go Galt! We'll Catch Up With You Later!

President Obama has proposed ending the Bush tax cuts in 2011, bringing the top rates from 33 percent to 36 percent and from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. The lower of these hikes would apply to individuals making over $200,000 and households making over $250,000. This is not really news, as Obama ... More >>

Rightbloggers Hold a Sparsely-Attended Tea Party

Rightbloggers had a big project last week: A series of "tea parties" across the country to protest Obama and his stimulus bill, inspired by comments by CNBC's Rick Santelli (and, it has been suggested, by some rightwing pressure groups). The results were not a great success, at least in the ob ... More >>

Rightblogger Protests Short on Protesters, Long on Hype

When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, they traditionally take to the streets. One Liberty Belle announced such an event for last Monday in Seattle. Liberty Belle had begun as just another inte ... More >>

Liveblogging the Academy Oscar Awards! Part III!

Additional, excellent live-blogging here with Allison Benedikt at Sound of the City. The King of All Oscar Predictors walks among you in Part III. Will this hubris bring us low? Watch and judge!

Stimulus Passes Senate

Obama's stimulus bill, sheared to a mere $838 billion, has passed in the Senate, by a vote of 61 to 36 with one abstention, with Republicans Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins joining all the Senate Democrats. They are the only Republicans in the entire Congress to vote for the bill, fo ... More >>

Obama Caps Compensation at TARP Companies at $500,000

Bad news for high rollers: the President says he and his Treasury Secretary agree that companies receiving TARP funds from the Feds will be instructed to cap executive compensation at half a million dollars. That's half a million per exec, not half a million total. Obama had previously expressed ... More >>

Ready on Day One: Rightbloggers at the Inauguration

This week rightblogger Robert Stacy McCain said: "So far as I can tell, conservatives aren't going through anything like the grief/angst/outrage that Democrats went through after the 2000 and 2004 elections. There may be activists who would like to generate that kind of reaction, but most conserv ... More >>

Rightbloggers Not Really Enjoying the Inauguration

"I'm a lefty," Obama said as he signed his first Presidential document. "Get used to it." Some people never will. Rightbloggers found their own ways to celebrate the Inauguration. Michelle Malkin, for example, passed the morning with an "Inauguration cliche count... plus: Obamedia Orgy Watch." "New ... More >>

The Top 10 Rightblogger Stories of 2008

Excited (not to say deranged) by the long Presidential campaign, conservative bloggers -- rightbloggers, in our affectionate parlance -- were in top form this year, and outstripped the sleepy Main Stream Media in every way. If mainstream Republicans were content to call Obama a socialist, rightblogg ... More >>
