Video: Krauthammer vs. Limbaugh on Obamas speech

MSNBC Exonerates Jared Loughner
Jared Loughner almost certainly had never heard of Sarah Palin back in 2007 when he first developed the psychotic fixation on Gabrielle Giffords that climaxed in mass Murder. He did not follow the news, and there is no evidence whatsoever that he was motivated in any way by any conservative. But that's not going to stop MSNBC from exploiting the tragedy. Spinning the news is behind this astonishingly vile network. Now they invent it out of whole cloth. Check out the graphic they've been running ...

Limbaugh: Obamas speech was poll-driven pep rally
Glenn Beck and his colleagues on Fox News may have been complimentary of President Obama’s Speech last night, but Rush Limbaugh sure wasn’t. He criticized the timing of the memorial service on Wednesday, four days after the Tucson shootings, saying it should have happened sooner. “The reason they waited as long as they did is they were waiting for polling data,” he said. “If they polling data had been different, the Speech would have been different.” CBS rel...

Jim DeMint 's influence in his home-state Friday, after the South Carolina conservative weighed in on potential successors to retiring Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Tex.) "Is that guy from Texas?" Cornyn said, after asked about DeMint's involvement. "I'm certainly not going to weigh in or try to steer anybody in any particular direction. That's what the primary campaign is for," Cornyn added.

Bob Graham: the battle over whether Florida is for sale has re-emerged
Is Florida a commodity or a treasure? That is the question former U.S. Sen. and Gov. Bob Graham asked after his Speech Friday to the Economic Club of Florida on the Oil Spill disaster in the Gulf. Although he chose his words carefully, his point is that the political climate today has revived the question which he believes was put to rest 40 years ago: Is Florida for sale? Graham, who was Governor from 1978-86 and U.S. Senator from 1986-2004. Here are his remarks to the Heral...

Rush Limbaugh Rips Fox News Panel For 'Slobbering' Over Obama Speech, Panel Responds (VIDEO)
A new feud has broken out between Rush Limbaugh and the so-called "All Star Panel" on Fox News' "Special Report" over the panel's praise for President Obama's Speech at the memorial for the Arizona Shooting Victims. Speaking on his Radio Show Thursday, Limbaugh slammed the panel, which, on the night of the speech, had consisted of Brit Hume, Charles Krauthammer and Chris Wallace, for their positive comments.

Palin to Keynote Gun and Hunting Convention in Nevada
Sarah Palin, who took a pummeling this week in the heated debate over guns following the Mass Shootings in Tucson, will make a keynote address to a gun convention later this month. Coming off what some critics call her "worst week," Palin has had little success fending off accusations that she had directly or indirectly helped fuel the vitriolic and violent climate that some say may have contributed to the shootings that left six dead and 14 wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a moderate...

All of the skeptics on the Tennessee political scene who have spent the last two months calling Tennessee House Speaker Beth Harwell a "phony conservative" and a RINO have some egg on their face today after Harwell announced House committee appointments during yesterday's session. While the appointments were not perfect, Conservatives received some of the most coveted House committee chairs and appointments to be had. Staunch States' rights advocate and agricultural policy guru Rep. Frank Nicele...

Joe Scarborough: This Probably Ended Sarah Palins Political Career
He might be considered an iconoclast within his own party, but Joe Scarborough is a lifelong Republican and former member of Congress. As such, its not unreasonable to think that his words carry a little more weight than the average TV pundit, which makes his analysis of Sarah Palin’s political future all the more interesting. On Wednesday, Palin released a video statement on the events of Arizona shooting tragedy and the finger-pointing that followed. Scarborough believes that her solipsi...

Lightning Round: There's More to Freedom than a Mel Gibson Monologue.
According to the Heritage Foundation, America continues its steep descent on the "economic freedom" scale, dropping to ninth overall, firmly in the "mostly free" bracket. Now, I happen to believe economic freedom is a good and important thing. But it is one freedom amongst many. For the Libertarian right, however, economic freedom is freedom, QED. Similarly, this Washington Post editorial that reads a gloomy Freedom House report and concludes that Obama and America need to "advocate" more for f...

Univ. Confirms It Was Responsible For Tucson Memorial T-Shirts Criticized By Conservatives
As TPM was first to report Wednesday, Conservatives found themselves up in arms about T-shirts that were given out during the Tucson memorial for Victims of last Saturday's shooting. Some said the T-shirts, which read "Together We Thrive: Tucson & America," were an inappropriate political statement orchestrated by the White House, since President Obama spoke at the memorial. TPM reported Wednesday that the memorial, including the T-shirts, was organized by the University of Arizona. Now, the...

Hannity, Bozell Discuss Hate-filled Rhetoric From Lefties like Ed Schultz, Montel Williams That Media Have Ignored
"We ought to rip [Dick Cheney's heart] out and kick it around and stuff it back in him," MSNBC's Ed Schultz blustered on his February 24, 2010 radio program. Those are just three examples of left-wing hate that the Mainstream Media haven't denounced while accusing Conservatives like Sarah Palin of engendering violence in the wake of the Rep. Gabrielle Giffords shooting. "Conservatives don't talk this way, yet they're attacking us for something we have nothing t...
