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...

Lindsey Graham: GOP isn't going to be "party of angry white guys" (+more ineffective townhall ranting) - 10/13/2009

... of stupidity, Allahpundit of HotAir links to the videos (hotair.com/archives/2009/10/13/ video-lindsey-graham-heckled-at-south-carolina-town-hall) and says "So why am I on his side? Watch the first clip and see for yourself who it is that’s heckling him and what they think about, oh, say, George Bush. I’ll take Grahamnesty over these tools [Ron Paul fans] any day of the week." That&...

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...

OMG! Sheila Jackson-Lee uses cell phone during a constituent's worthless rant and before useless question from another - 8/12/2009

... leave the expected reaction to HotAir [1]. Instead, I'll point out that the video is little more than entertainment; it's not going to have an effect on much of anything. SJL's supporters are going to continue to support her, and her detractors are going to keep doing the opposite. Her making a phone call isn't as emblematic as Obama's "bitter" comment. And, the...

When even Glenn Beck turns on the "Birthers", should they get a clue? (+ HotAir <3 MMFA) - 8/04/2009

... Media Matters for America and HotAir continues, with Allahpundit embedding the audio at MMFA's link at [1]. Maybe if I FAXed the link above to HotAir or Beck in a nice crayon font they might be able to understand this. [1] hotair.com/archives/2009/08/04/audio-birtherism-ripped-to-shreds-by-glenn-beck

@AllahPundit: what part of discrediting the MSM don't you understand? - 7/24/2009

AllahPundit of HotAir posts about CNN's Jon Klein supposedly forbidding Lou Dobbs from covering the Obama citizenship issue (something that Klein has since walked back). In comments he says about this issue: It’s a useful way for the left to make the right look paranoid. Obama’s shedding no tears seeing it get lots of coverage this week. He's right about that, but only because I'...

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

... 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 birth certifi...

Sarah Palin resigning as Alaskan governor; what supporters can do - 7/03/2009

... the posts about this issue at HotAir and at FreeRepublic. The first doesn't mention his name at all, the second only includes it in the body of the post: hotair.com/headlines/?p=44853 freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2285113/posts And, of course, both give the HuffPost perfectly good links. In other words, at the same time as they aren't striking out - except in a temporary fashion - at th...

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

The following cartoon from Chris Muir is, as are many others of his cartoons, 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, mos...

HotAir unwittingly shows futility, stupidity, perniciousness of tea parties (Susan Roesgen) - 4/17/2009

Allahpundit of HotAir has posted two videos that - completely unwittingly - show just how futile, stupid, and pernicious the tea parties are: link. Both of them feature CNN reporter Susan Roesgen; watch the second first which features her puffball coverage of far-lefties holding a friendly, running protest near Obama's house in Chicago. The first video on the Hot Air page was shot after a liv...

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...

Honk three times if you're on the road to Idiocracy: bombastic Bob Basso gives final tea party talk - 4/11/2009

... Beck program. You can see it at HotAir here. It's even worse than you'd expect, and it pushes the tea parties even further down the road to Idiocracy. Previous sign posts on that road have included mailing tea bags to politicians. The current sign post Basso is aiming for is for people to honk their horns three times at noon on April 15. No, I'm not kidding. For all his bombastic d...

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

... stuff." Meanwhile, over at HotAir, one of their staffers links to the Little Green Footballs entry [1] with the title "Surprise: Pittsburgh cop-killer was anti-semitic, white supremacist, 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...

Jason Mattera asks Charlie Rangel stupid question - 3/09/2009

... athwart our descent into Idiocracy, HotAir correspondent Jason Mattera decided to help us descend even further by asking Charlie Rangel about his tax problems on the attached video. While the question he asked was not as bad and as personal as something that the sleazy Mike Stark has asked, it was still just a worthless question about Rangel himself rather than about things that are important. Ja...

"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

Could "Barack Obama" be a complete fake? Hillary Clinton supporter and decades-long Democrat Philip Berg is suing Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), claiming he's not eligible to be president. From this: the Plaintiff, Philip J. Berg, a Philadelphia attorney, alleged that Defendant Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible for the Office of the President because Ob...
