O’Keefe Deserves an Apology From MSNBC… At the Very Least

Big Journalism "Even today, MSNBC is negligent and deceitful in its “reporting” on this latest development. Their headline reads: “O’Keefe, others plan to plead guilty.” That’s their angle? The story is that federal prosecutors have reduced the charge to a misdemeanor instead of the felony MSNBC has been shouting about for months. But mention of the dropped felony charge is not made until the final paragraph of the story."

CBO: Debt level will rise to 90% of GDP in nine years

Hot Air "Don’t expect that debt to come cheap, either. We’re already seeing signs that our interest rates will have to go up in order to sell more paper, which will cause the deficit projections here to actually fall short of reality. We could be looking at a collapse scenario where we can’t borrow enough to keep up with our interest payments by the time this decade concludes." People who are committed to Obama and Democrats must be totally unaware.

The Vat Cometh

Charles Krauthammer "American liberals have long complained that ours is the only advanced industrial country without universal health care. Well, now we shall have it. And as we approach European levels of entitlements, we will need European levels of taxation."

Pete Wehner refutes the tired "Bush lied" line

Politics Daily "A careful analysis of several of these charges will reveal, I think, how remarkably weak and misleading is the case that supposedly "proves" George W. Bush took America to war based on a pack of lies. For more, read on. (Because of the unusual length of this response, I'm dealing with just five of Corn's main charges.)"

Demonizing Everyday Americans

Big Government "There appears to be a concerted effort among the political Left and many mainstream media people to demonize and marginalize the expanding citizen-based movement known as the tea party movement.

Accusations Fly Between Parties Over Threats and Vandalism

NY Times "Representative Jean Schmidt, Republican of Ohio, released a profanity-laced voicemail message left in her Ohio office in which the caller accused Republicans of racism for blocking the health care measure, said he wished Ms. Schmidt had broken her back in a car accident and said he would have shot anyone who spit on him during weekend protests at the Capitol. “We released this call to show that is not just Democrats receiving them,” said Bruce Pflaff, a spokesman for Ms. Schmidt."

Obama in extraordinary snub to Bibi

American Thinker "Our president, however, is out to change America. So when Obama turns that notion on its head and starts treating our friends like enemies and our enemies like old buddies, it came as something of a surprise.
