    Thumbnail AUDIO: Hannity Divulges Detail From “Off The Record” Conversation with George Zimmerman Sean Hannity complicated the Trayvon Martin saga Tuesday. It was announced he was directly called by George Zimmerman after breaking off contact with the lawyers running his defense. The revelations came during a press conference in which attorneys Craig Sonner and Hal Uhrig announced [...]

    As a fiscal conservative, I’m sorry to see Republicans wasting so much taxpayer cash. Working in the “inner city” I see every day how pronounced the need for contraception is with the youth population, with people under the poverty line and for those practicing responsible family planning. Think of the unwanted pregnancies which only lead [...]

    2012-02-27 19:40:30View | Delete

    Thumbnail Last Friday’s report on the hypocrisy of Andrew Breitbart’s selective concern for alleged rape victims in ” Breitbart’s “Rape” Concerns Don’t Extend to Female Staffer ?” was picked up by Current TV Friday putting the underreported claims of Nadia Naffe on the TV. Breitbart stated plainly he’d screamed “stop raping people” to OWS demonstrators as a “stunt” [...]

    the Occupy movement attracted sexual deviants because there were a lot of people assembled there, including trusting young women.

    There are sexual deviants in every population, including the GOP, conservatives, the clergy and every other group there are people in.

    To ironymeter, the complaint was not made public, the only info available came through the reporter from northjersey.com who attended the hearing. Re the dismissal of the case, you determined that the sexual harassment began in Newark? Just because he picked her up at the Newark train station? This does not mean that’s where alleged [...]

    Thumbnail Citing at least a dozen incidents, Andrew Breitbart insists that Occupy members shirked a responsibility to report alleged rapes they learned of to police. Breitbart however, has made no effort to report on or comment on disturbing allegations in a criminal complaint by one of his own bloggers, Nadia Naffe. Ms. Naffe, a relative unknown, [...]

    2011-12-25 17:20:40View | Delete

    ThumbnailThe seizure of the last remaining tent in the Occupy Albany encampment caused an impassioned tug-of-war between cops and protesters on Friday. See AP/CBS coverage here. So did this require use of chemical weapons? Despite national outrage, the heavy handed treatment of protesters continues while lawless corporations elude justice. People are congregating in thousands of cities, willing [...]

    Agree and disagree. It is great that the media is debating the income divide but I think the article gives Obama too much of a pass. I also volunteered for him in 2008 but I was aghast the day he announced Rahm and Larry Summers, Geithner and so many other Clinton retreads, crushing hope and [...]

    Obama On Collision Course With His Donors What a great conversation – are the Democrats worth supporting? I think there are some, but some that need scuttling. Which way will Obama go? This story is not going away – since the police brutality investigation, JPMorgan made a $4.2 million donation to the “Policeman’s Ball”. This [...]

    When I saw Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson interviewed by Lawrence O’Donnell as guest host of Keith Olbermann’s MSNBC show in 2010,  I thought the silence was broken. Wilkerson was the first invited guest when Cenk Uyger launched his own MSNBC show in February to elaborate on how he and his boss, Secretary of State Colin Powell were manipulated by Dick [...]

It broke in Monday’s NY Times that NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said “not so fast” as the Obama Administration sought to whitewash mortgage fraud, pushing for a settlement that includes fines but no fraud or criminal investigations for the [...]

    ThumbnailCrossposted at OpEdNews Behold Sean Hannity on his August 4th television broadcast, dictating to his audience that birth control is not a women’s health issue and should not be taxpayer funded in insurance policies as he demands inclusion for Viagra on the grounds that male lack of sexual function is an excepted medical condition. The exchange caught fire, [...]

    2011-08-04 17:11:02View | Delete

    We’re not supposed to say it’s normal and expectable when the White House “lies” or misleads. That kind of apathy emboldens them to do it again.

    You’re supposed to instead say you are a potential donor (from a swing state) inclined to contribute but that you are disappointed in the unintentional confusion stemming from the language used.

    amerigus commented on the diary post Details Emerge on Breitbart’s Source For Weinergate as “BornFreeCrew” Implodes by amerigus.

    2011-06-12 15:23:02View | Delete

    If one of the women says Weiner’s explicit photos were unsolicited and unwanted, he should simply say “this is a high tech lynching”. What the accounts in the article above suggest is that one of the women may have been working with right wing media long before we knew about the scandal. Then it broke [...]

    US Rep. Darell Issa denied any knowledge of the unfolding Weinergate scandal as emails surfaced purporting to link two of his staffers to Andrew Breitbart’s original source for the sordid cyber-saga, one pseudonymous Dan Wolfe.

    If someone approaches you saying Andrew Breitbart is a jerk, be careful, it might be his minions luring you into his latest web videos where he will then publicly demonize you.
    Following the example of James O’Keefe, a number of hyper-partisan activists have had videos promoted by Andrew Breitbart’s websites, painting average folks on the street as [...]

    Partisan propaganda operative Andrew Breitbart is promoting a video filmed on a college campus purporting to “catch” students in hypocrisy because they are willing to sign a petition to “ban” Conservative talk hosts Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly yet still say they support free speech or the First Amendment [...]
