Well, unbelievable if anyone were to mistakenly imagine that liberals and leftists actually have any principles, that is. The hypocritical shift that attitudes on the left took between George W. Bush’s days in office and that of Barack “I won” Obama is stark, but revealing.]]>Fri, 08 May 2009 04:20:11 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Keith Olbermann]]><![CDATA[tea party]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/05/08/can-we-talk-of-liberal-hypocrisy-n41267Barney Frank Repudiates Own Anti-ACORN Support<![CDATA[Michael O’Brien over at The Hill is reporting that Congressman Barney Frank (D, Mass.) is backtracking on his previous support of Rep. Michelle Bachmann’s (R, Minn.) bill that would prevent federal money from going to the corruption plagued Association of Community Activists for Reform Now (ACORN).]]>Sat, 02 May 2009 07:01:32 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[ACORN]]><![CDATA[Barney Frank]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/05/02/barney-frank-repudiates-own-anti-acorn-support-n42051Blogging The 2nd Annual Sammies<![CDATA[A wrap up…]]>Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:05:17 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/04/19/blogging-the-2nd-annual-sammies-n41274NYTimes: Obama's Economic Ideas Great... Just Like Hitler's Were?<![CDATA[For The New York Times economic scene section for March 31, David Leonhardt came across with one of the most amazing admissions about Obama that I’ve ever seen in the Times. Namely that Barack Obama is just like Hitler. Now, many of you may be solemnly shaking your head in agreement, but in so doing you would be missing why the Times was comparing Obama to Hitler. You see, Leonhardt didn’t mean it as an insult. He was saying that it was a good thing that Barack was being like Hitler at least in an economic sense.]]>Mon, 06 Apr 2009 08:37:23 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[new york times]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/04/06/nytimes-obamas-economic-ideas-great-just-like-hitlers-were-n41279Name That Party: Top NM Dem Sentenced, Party Affiliation Deep Sixed<![CDATA[Manny Aragon was one of New Mexico’s most powerful law makers and power brokers. A former Senate president, Aragon was this week convicted and given a 67 month sentence for lining his pockets and that of his co-conspiritors with millions in fraudulently billed state contracting money.]]>Fri, 20 Mar 2009 05:11:38 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Corruption]]><![CDATA[New Mexico]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/03/20/name-that-party-top-nm-dem-sentenced-party-affiliation-deep-sixed-n41257Obama's Nominee to Justice Dept. Was a Terrorist's Lawyer<![CDATA[On March 9, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on one of Barack Obama’s latest nominees. This time it was to assess the suitability of Tony West, Obama’s nominee for the assistant attorney general in charge of the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Division. Things went “smoothly” according to the San Jose Mercury News, also publishing a nice bio of West. The Washington Post merely mentioned the hearing was “notable.” Similarly the East Bay Express simply makes mention of the hearing having occurred. Apparently there was nothing of interest in West’s nomination.]]>Sat, 14 Mar 2009 04:41:41 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Barack Obama]]><![CDATA[Terrorism]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/03/14/obamas-nominee-to-justice-dept-was-a-terrorists-lawyer-n42891Burris Deals From a Full Deck of Race Cards<![CDATA[I have been saying for some time that we will have our recalcitrant Illinois Senator Roland Burris representing himself… er, I mean us… at least until 2010 and quite probably during the upcoming primaries for those seeking a full term afterward, as well. This weekend more proof to that eventual end was arranged by a room full of black ministers from Chicago.]]>Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:15:01 -0500<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Illinois]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/03/02/burris-deals-a-full-deck-of-race-cards-n42633McCain Warms to Calling Obama a Liar<![CDATA[In the hours after President Obama’s not-the-state-of-the-union address, the Networks rounded up the usual suspects to give reply to the speech.

Soon after the election, Obama’s spokesman John Podesta made a great show of announcing that Obama was insisting on the “strictest ethics rules ever applied” to his ongoing choices for members of his administration and his transition team.]]>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:21:53 -0500<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[IRS]]><![CDATA[lobbyists]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/01/31/its-about-the-change-yet-lobbyists-and-tax-cheats-abound-in-new-administration-n40812More L.A.

Rod Blagojevich<![CDATA[Not long ago, the Associated Press informed its writers that they should be more emotive in their writing. Instead of an old newsy just-the-facts style of reporting, then AP was looking to goose it up and add more opinion and emotion to its reporting of the “news.” Well, with the story of the arrest of corruption plagued Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and his connection to Illinois Senator and president in waiting Barack Obama, the emotive words flow fast and furious. This incident serves as an interesting example of the APs new more emotive style.]]>Wed, 10 Dec 2008 09:07:19 -0500<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2008/12/10/aps-emotive-language-for-gov-rod-blagojevich-n41047
