* Rick Moran at Pajamas Media ( @rickmoran_rwnh; peekURL.com/zbpZenf ):
Senator Marco Rubio is taking the lead in proposing a comprehensive immigration reform bill that GOP bitter enders on immigration will no doubt refer to as “amnesty,” while the rest of the party struggles with how to connect to Hispanic voters on the issue.
...The best that can be said about Rubio’s proposal is...

Earlier today, the Washington Post published allegations that Mitt Romney was a bully back in prep school (link). I didn't read the story, but that's not what this post is about.
Instead, this is a meta post: the WaPo's story is yet another example of how the establishment media is going to help Barack Obama be reelected. The media will publish or broadcast story after story just like the current...
... partly agrees with me, and at Pajamas Media no less (link):
Another conservative effort seeks to beat the drum of “We Are the 53%.” This misanthropic effort allows for a clear distinction between barely more than one half of the public and another massive segment who not only get to vote, but might have otherwise sympathized with you... When it comes to the 47% of people who pay no federal...

Roger Simon of Pajamas Media offers "Is California Hopeless?" [1]. It's yet another article by fiscal conservatives and free market types in which they fail to account for the highly negative role that their support for massive immigration has played in bringing California to its current state. And, not only does he fail to reveal his ideology's role in heavily damaging California, but he even...
... known as the Glenn Reynolds / Pajamas Media universe. This time with the anti-American screed called "The Real Anchors / Anchor babies? Maybe we should worry more about native anchors" (pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-real-anchors) by one Rand Simberg. The fact that he's turning to Robert Heinlein to craft a new citizenship policy is actually the least of his sins. More important is that he's...
... I'd prefer people to shun the Pajamas Media mini-empire, but I actually urge everyone to share this video: link. Not because it's good, but for the opposite reason: it makes them and those in the general tea parties movement look very bad.
With millions of Americans unemployed (a good portion of them long-term), with U.S.'s manufacturing base eroding by the day, with China flooding the U.S. with...
... that it's difficult for even Pajamas Media to tell the difference between the real partiers and the infiltrators (pjtv.com/?cmd=mpg&mpid=72); everything they say about infiltrators applies to some or many real partiers.
And, yet another problem with the "Crashers" is that it gives the real partiers cover: they can (and will) simply blame loony signs and loony ideas on the infiltrators. The...
... among other things, writes for Pajamas Media. This isn't one of their videos as far as I know, and this post isn't really about him or them specifically but is more just an example of how many people are used to push an agenda without their knowledge. (Something similar can be heard at the beginning of this video from Ann Althouse: peekURL.com/vdgc9fa ).

Rushing posthaste to watch it - but not to give PJTV any money - I was to a small extent expecting them to actually attempt to make the...
... but neither Glenn Reynolds nor Pajamas Media nor FreedomWorks nor other usual suspects promoted them; this illustrates once again that those pulling the strings on the tea parties movement are libertarians who at the least are weak on immigration if not outright open borders loons.

Jennifer Rubin of Pajamas Media offers "Rallying the Party of 'Not Obama'" (pajamasmedia.com/blog/rallying-the-party-of-not-obama), a laundry list of suggestions for things that the GOP could oppose Obama over; it's a response to those who say the GOP should just concentrate on the positive.

... I trust less: Nate Silver, or Pajamas Media and Glenn Reynolds?
Silver says that a bit more than 300,000 turned out for all the tea parties (link). And, he does that by linking almost 400 events in cities across the nation to local reports with their estimates of the turnout.

Tomorrow, from noon to 2pm Eastern, Pajamas Media will be conducting their latest dog 'n' pony show, this time featuring Joe the Plumber and others holding a "hearing" on the healthcare impacts of the stimulus plan. They invite you to submit your questions that their panel will answer: pjtv.com/?cmd=page&page-id=60
The question now becomes, why? No one is going to care, and everyone knows...
Starting on April 1, the Pajamas Media network will stop serving up ads to a network of major blogs and will be concentrating on their video line instead. You know, the video line that features talking head shows with worthless minor pundits and that I can't imagine anyone being interested in. Read the Dear Blogger letter they sent here.
I'm having trouble working up much sympathy, since some in...
