What was the election really about? Class war. That’s not reactionary right-wing paranoia; it’s the claim of progressives themselves, as evidenced by the mainstream liberal group Campaign For America’s Future, who have launched a new website WageClassWar.org, which is, of
The demise of the Will Ferrell-era cannot come soon enough. Other than an overwrought and hysterical attack on the Koch Brothers, the politics of “The Campaign” are surprisingly even-handed. The real problem is the non-stop crudeness, a total lack of
The folks behind the home video of “The Campaign” picked a week before Election Day for its official street date. Savvy choice, no doubt. The film’s Blu-ray release is meant to remind viewers of how unchecked money impacts modern politics,

President Barack Obama is now campaigning and fundraising directly off attacks on the wealth of conservative casino magnate and prominent Jewish philanthropist Sheldon Adelson. Adelson’s good works enjoy bipartisan support–so much so that Harvard Law School Professor Alan Dershowitz, who
The new Will Ferrell-Zach Galifianakis comedy “The Campaign” isn’t out to smite the Right or the Left. It has bigger targets in mind – the Citizens United case in general and the Koch brothers in particular. The film’s attack on

The late Andrew Breitbart legendarily confronted anti-capitalist protesters in rollerblades and invited them to Applebee’s, the irony seemingly lost on those who followed him to the restaurant. “This is a protest against capitalism, against libertarianism, against the free market,” Breitbart
Can you imagine James Carville in front of a giant American flag playing General George S. Patton? He can. Just listen to his pitch for money in an email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: I wish I had good

What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big money was paid to NPR for the effort? Would you say that this is an
This weekend, NPR aimed its taxpayer-subsidized guns at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a relatively unknown membership association of state legislators. ALEC, a non-profit 501 (c)3 founded in the 1970s, gives the left heart palpitations by promoting general conservative
