Carly Fiorina supports massive skilled immigration ("There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore") - 11/06/2009

Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina recently announced her candidacy as a Republican for senator from California; she's trying to unseat Barbara Boxer. While the latter is a highly worthy goal, she appears to be a globalist, profits-at-any-cost supporter of massive immigration at least of the skilled variety. Her position on low-skilled immigration isn't known, but generally speaki...

Ed Morrissey of HotAir notes GOP problem, but not smart enough to figure out a solution - 9/07/2009

Ed Morrissey of HotAir offers "An end to fringe mainstreaming?" (link) in which he worries about the backlash from the Democrats and the MSM over the Van Jones resignation. He also shows that solving problems isn't exactly his forte: ...we can expect the media to hold Republicans to the standards the conservative punditry imposed on Van Jones, and to be a lot more aggressive about i...

Ed Morrissey must think that Hawaiian state law is a "Birther theory" - 7/23/2009

Low-level conservative commentator Ed Morrissey of HotAir recently got a special treat: a shout-out from Media Matters for America in their article 'Unlike Dobbs, some conservative media think birthers are "nutburgers"' (by Julie Millican, mediamatters.org/research/200907220051). Rather than criticizing him, they were giving him a cookie for helping "[to] debunk[] the birt...

How to get a link from HotAir (note: must be completely shameless) - 6/01/2009

... unintentionally hilarious (link). While Ed Morrissey does occasionally say the smart thing, both he and Allahpundit more often than not fall into the go-along-get-along mode and, while they're offering plenty of Sonia Sotomayor coverage they aren't exactly going as far as this. As for those rightwing blogs, most of them are partisan hacks and just generally pretty bad. And, of course, &...

Ed Morrissey makes reasonable albeit unrealistic case for tea parties - 4/15/2009

Ed Morrissey of HotAir links to a new Gallup poll called "Views of Income Taxes Among Most Positive Since 1956" (link) and opines [1]: If 48% believe that their taxes are just right, it might be because that’s the exact same percentage that will pay zero in the near future, according to Barack Obama’s tax policies. With Obama’s emphasis on refundables, 48.7% of Americans will wind...

Dennis Roddy /Pittsburgh PG, SPLC, LGF, HotAir, Kos use tragedy to smear opponents - 4/05/2009

... Alex Jones fan". Over to Ed Morrissey at the same site (hotair.com/archives/2009/04/05/kos-conservatives-like-to-shoot-cops): Those who would use such horrifying tragedies to smear their political opponents are completely unworthy of engagement, and utterly despicable to boot, regardless of which side they’re on.

"Fullerton Tea Party" was not a "tea party", don't be fooled - 3/08/2009

... pajamasmedia.com/instapundit/72434) and Ed Morrissey of HotAir (hotair.com/archives/2009/03/08/fullerton-tea-party-gets-15000-protestors). There's a running commentary on the event here and a news report here. UPDATE: There's video from the rally here. And, Insty doubles-down at the first of his links above: A reader emails: "I'm just wondering if 8-15 thousand at Fullerton is...

Ed Morrissey /HotAir misleads about Obama birth certificate - 12/04/2008

Ed Morrissey of HotAir offers "The sadly obligatory SCOTUS birth-certificate post" (link) in which he joins the long line of people misleading about the Obama citizenship issue. As with others, he links to the Sara Olkon/James Janega article and, among many other misleading statements, says: The State of Hawaii only keeps birth certificates from births in Hawaii. The State of California...

Is "Barack Obama" a complete scam? (Philip Berg lawsuit; Indonesia) - 10/11/2008

... here. And, GOP establishment hack Ed Morrissey comments on the video here. While he echoes my comment above about not counting on this and instead concentrating on easier to prove things, he also shows his GOP hack side by calling Berg a "truther" (I didn't bother looking into that because it doesn't really matter to this case and it might be a smear). He also retails the BHO ...

Senate immigration amnesty bill: the supporters - 5/21/2007

Outside a number of Senators, there aren't too many who support the Senate's immigration amnesty/"guest" worker plan. This post will keep track of them, and I urge everyone to hold those below accountable whether the bill passes or not. I also urge everyone to keep calling Congress, but, even more importantly, follow the steps previously outlined to help stop amnesty. The suppo...

Captain Ed: "Why Tom Tancredo Is Not A Serious Candidate" - 4/04/2007

Captain Ed of Captain's Quarters comments on the Hugh Hewitt interview with Tom Tancredo here. Hewitt asked Tancredo about the John Campbell/Jim Gilchrist race in Orange County, taking him to task for supporting the latter: Hugh Hewitt: ... [L]et me move on. GOP question, just two years and three months ago, Tom, you endorsed an American Independent Party candidate over the Republican nomine...

CPAC Day 2: Captain Ed's transcription service - 3/02/2007

The blog fight is on! Yesterday, "Captain Ed" posted an interview with Mike Huckabee. In a vain attempt to get someone - anyone - attending CPAC to ask anything remotely approaching a difficult question, I responded ("NoMoreBlatherDotCom"), the "Captain" responded, and now I have the feeling I'm about to be banned from yet another site. I posted the following ...
