Rolling Stone’s fake gang-rape story

Posted on December 7, 2014 | 2 comments

You know, the one that got all the fraternities at the University of Virginia suspended until further notice? The one that’s now cratered, i.e. the one that the aging look-alike for AARP Magazine (thank you, Ed Driscoll), has now retracted due to “misplaced” trust in its single source.

Its single source. Mull that one over for a while. One person. No corroboration. No support. One person. Wow, it doesn’t take much to move the whole Democrat news media’s needle these days. On the other hand, it was the WaPo that cut up the story. Thanks, no doubt, to its 2013 purchase by Jeff Bezos.

And the usual post-story-collapse cries of “fake but accurate” now resound. These aren’t journalists. They are leftist political activists ever in search of illustrations to support their agenda. And the author of the exclusive (one source!) and the Rolling Stone-AARP Magazine itself did it all before, back in 2011. Only that time, three Catholic priests and a school teacher went to jail.

BTW, I’m still waiting for the leftist “news” hounds to do an investigative piece on the dark power of sororities. Hopefully with more than one source. Dream on.

UPDATE: In which the leftist rag disguised as a journal of news clarifies its retraction/apology.

Democrats want you to vote for them early and often

Posted on February 11, 2014 | Comments Off on Democrats want you to vote for them early and often

Wormtongue’s “justice” department apparently is convinced that voter id laws, such as the one we have here in Texas, are racist. Because, well, uh, somehow minorities (particularly blacks) are just unable to obtain such an id.

Even here in Texas where the state actually offers them free for voting. All you have to do is bring in an old electric bill to prove you live in Texas.

Meanwhile, back in North Carolina where the NAACP is holding anti-voter id protests, you’re required to have a photo id to come along and wave a sign. Yep. You’re required to have a photo id to protest voter id.

“Of course, to [get into a federal building anywhere], you’ll need at some point to verify your identity. Indeed, to do just about anything these days, you need to verify your identity — except vote, where in blue regions of the country, dead or alive, you’re more than welcome to vote early and often.”

Is this Orwellian newspeak, or what?

UPDATE:  Never mind Orwell. When it comes to Wormtongue’s latest illegal adjustment to federal law, it’s Banana Republic Double Standard Time. Gotta keep those votes rollin’ in.

Will Issa ever act?

Posted on January 28, 2014 | 3 comments

“Are [California Republican Rep.] Darrell Issa’s numerous investigations intended to actually accomplish anything in the way of bringing this [gangster] government to heel, or are they intended merely to provide subject matter for his election brochures?”

So far he’s just Deadwood on the Potomac. No more than a font of snappy opposition quotes. No wonder the Republicans lose so many elections.

Via Ed Driscoll.

UPDATE: He does make demands. He just doesn’t back them up by using his committee’s power of issuing subpoenas to publicly humiliate the perp.

MORE:  Issa’s finally moving. He’s recalling the IRS’s 5th Amendment Queen Lois Lerner back to testify on March 5.

The Left loses its, uh, mind

Posted on October 10, 2013 | 7 comments

One of the establishment Left’s favorite house organs, The Atlantic Magazine, is calling for the arrest of Republican John Boehner, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

So poor wittle baby Obumbles won’t have to negotiate with the “Extreme Right” as the liberals always call their political opponents. Good luck with that.

Although with a corrupt president who has most of the news media (including the perpetually federally-funded NPR), the IRS and the FBI behind him, you never know. Talk about a constitutional crisis. It would make the wittle baby’s federal shut-down theater look like Romper Room. Come to think of it…

Meanwhile, El Paso’s ABC affiliate station’s reporters can’t find a single local resident who has successfully signed up for ObamaCare. At least they’re looking, eh?

Laughing in the boardrooms

Posted on November 6, 2011 | Comments Off on Laughing in the boardrooms

Noted earlier we were laughing at the OWS “Flea Party.” But, hey, they’re laughing in the boardrooms on Wall Street where the so-called 1 Percent, Obama’s biggest donors (beneficiaries, all, of his “stimulus” lie), work and play.

Well, some are laughing, as the protests turn predictably violent and the Democrat media looks the other way. These mainly white, dreadlocked scruffies are the very best argument against themselves. They are going to get Obamalot re-elected? Heh. I don’t think so.
