Print Charles C. Johnson Read Full Bio Sandra Fluke, Professional Student Radical To get a sense of what kind of law Sandra Fluke would impose on all of us, it helps to consider her time as a leader of Cornell’s Students Acting for Gender Equality (SAGE). Fluke was involved with SAGE throughout her time at Cornell, serving as its treasurer and president. 5 Sep 2012 Julian Castro: A Radical Revealed Mayor Julian Castro of San Antonio, who will be giving the keynote address tonight, is, according to some, the next Obama. But while Obama’s radicalism may have escaped the notice of the DNC in 2004, Castro’s views are bit more transparent. Indeed, he, along with his twin, Joaquin, currently running for Congress, learned their politics on their mother’s knee and in the streets of San Antonio. Their mother, Rosie helped found a radical, anti-white, socialist Chicano party called La Raza Unida (literally “The Race United”) that sought to create a separate country—Aztlan—in the Southwest. 4 Sep 2012 The Vetting: Axelrod's Sexism in Chicago David Axelrod asked Diane Silverman, a woman candidate for Alderman, if her husband “would control” her vote. “I doubt Mr. Axelrod asked male candidates…if their wives would control their votes,” she wrote in a 1974 letter to the editor. “Please. Spare us such naked chauvinism and sexism in this campaign.” 21 Aug 2012 By Obama's Standards, He's America's Biggest Child Abuse Facilitator Obama, of course, was wrong on all counts. The increase in labor force participation led to one of the greatest periods of economic expansion in American history. But the broader Obama point remains: If only President Obama had found a way to alleviate poverty, perhaps he could have stilled State Senator Obama’s fears about increases in child abuse. 20 Aug 2012 Obama's Long History of Political Racial Solidarity Many people were taken in by Barack Obama's hopey-changey 2008 campaign. They thought that this was the real Barack Obama -- a man of optimism and vision. But the 2012 campaign has shown a side of Obama that the American public seems to be increasingly disturbed by. What they don't know is that it was 2008 that was the exception to the Obama campaign strategy; 2012's racially polarizing campaign is right up Obama's historical alley. 17 Aug 2012 Obama Author Calls Me a Racist For Doing My Job, A Job He Won't Do In one of my last posts, I questioned why David Maraniss has contempt for those of us who want to give Barack Obama the thorough vetting that Maraniss, an editor at the Washington Post, failed to do in his recent book. Now the Pullitzer-prize winner calls us “racists,” and in particular, me, for doing the job he won’t do. 6 Aug 2012 The Mainstream Media's Treatment of Obama's and Romney's Grades, Compared Yes, while the mainstream media continues to insist that Romney’s youth as a prep school boy in Michigan is all-important to his character and so on, it continues to conceal Barack Obama’s grades, asking us to take it on faith that Obama is a genius, even though the evidence of his presidency suggests anything but. 5 Aug 2012 The Vetting: Obama Has Demagogued Guns, from 2000 to Today As Barack Obama attacks "AK-47s," while his press secretary promises that Obama respects Second Amendment rights, it is worth recalling Obama's long-running campaign for gun control, dating back more than a decade--a campaign he now seeks to downplay as he heads into a difficult presidential election, because he knows how deeply unpopular it would be. 26 Jul 2012 Obama to Bush in 2003: 'Fix Up the Economy,' $300 Billion Deficit 'Recklessness' Give Barack Obama points for consistency: he has always blamed Bush for the economy, even when it was humming along. In April 2003, Obama, then a state senator, attacked George Bush’s “attack on working families.” He called on Bush to “fix up the economy first” before he did anything else, like tax cuts. In May 2003, he continued his attack on Bush and called on the Senate to "resist" Bush's "unprecedented $300 billion deficit," which, he alleged, was retarding growth. 23 Jul 2012 Ten Things We Learn and Should Have Learned from Maraniss's Obama Book Sometime the media makes a mistake and accidentally reveals too much.
