“Never mind, they’ll swallow it,” said Stalin, the 20th Century’s first successful progenitor of the Big Lie. — The suppression of the facts is by no means the most dangerous aspect of any Big Lie. After all, facts don’t go

Fashioning good legislative policy (so that laws that we enact garner maximum respect from the public) requires, as we have seen from its absence in the prior Congress, patience and compromise. A party with electoral control over both chambers of

Even now, the details on Jared Lee Loughner are still short on facts. He may have listed Mein Kampf as a favorite book, and Giffords is Jewish, so clearly he’s a white supremacist tied to fringe groups? Oh wait, he

You can’t retract hate. You can’t retract idiocy. You can’t retract bigotry. You can’t retract irresponsible claims masquerading as journalism. It’s time to fire Paul Krugman, Keith Olbermann, and New York Times’ Editor-in-Chief Bill Keller for printing and broadcasting blood

This piece on the Arizona shootings and radical Islam caught my eye. The media’s look at the Arizona shootings has been long on linking the shooter to talk radio (non-existent), conservatives (nada), and Sarah Palin (nope). But is the media

Palin-haters are attempting to turn Gov. Sarah Palin’s reasonable and empathic response today to the Tucson atrocity into an antisemitic outburst. Palin, like Glenn Reynolds (and, independently, Andrew Breitbart) used the term “blood libel” to describe the way in which

Responding critically to my piece from Monday where I call out certain Hollywood types for their breathtaking hypocrisy in laying blame for Saturday’s Tucson tragedy at the feet of Sarah Palin, a political cross-hairs map, and right-wing rhetoric, Film School

Democratic Strategist Bob Shrum criticizes Sarah Palin for using the term “Blood Libel” because, he says, “it refers to centuries of the killing of Jews in Europe.” This is not what “Blood Libel” refers to, but ironically, host Andrea Mitchell

Wednesday Sarah Palin responded to the vicious blood libel leveled against her and millions of right-thinking Americans by the army of destroyers. The ferocious, relentless attacks on Sarah Palin are a testament to her greatness, proof of how deathly afraid

Ever since Saturday’s terrible tragedy in Tucson, Arizona, conservatives have endured, to use my colleague Dana Loesch’s words, a massive orchestration of defamation against them. And of all the vitriol that has been hurled around the internet, no other target

Any time someone commits an act of violence that grabs headlines, journalists scramble desperately for a scapegoat, some person or social force to crusade against and extend the story’s expiration date (and thus ratings). While it appears that Jared Lee

Politicizing any tragic event for the sake of political posturing is despicable. And that’s exactly what the left did on Saturday before the bodies of the victims of Lee Loughner’s massacre were even cold. It’s deplorable to point fingers and
