Rachel Maddow, whose special on Timothy McVeigh airs on MSNBC tonight, is quite the investigative reporter. Not long ago, she obtained explosive evidence of James O’Keefe’s wardrobe fraud, and she has unleashed it on both of her viewers. Thanks to

On Wednesday, I testified before the Congress about the biggest Rip-Off of the century. And I can’t say that anyone really cared. I was arguing that the deceptive accounting techniques used by the federal government–techniques that would send anyone to

Earlier last year, ACORN founder Wade Rathke glowingly blogged that Patrick Gaspard, political director of the White House, was a former ACORN organizer. When that claim started receiving a bit of attention, Rathke offered a retraction, saying his memory was

Rachel Maddow had a story to tell. The story was that Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe’s ACORN videos were “severely edited” to make an innocent man who did the right thing look as though he was doing something nefarious, immoral

It seems the lovely and talented Rachel Maddow – whose chief claim to fame, besides her sneer, is …what, exactly? – has got her Rhodes Scholar knickers in a twist over the famous O’Keefe/Giles ACORN tapes. She’s seized upon a

When thousands of peaceful, Tea Party protestors came to Harry Reid’s hometown of Searchlight, Nev. last Saturday, you would have thought that the favorite son of this hardscrabble, mining town would garner tons of local support. Not so. Members of
