Here’s a good article on why so-called hate speech is nothing more than an attempt at criminalizing speech offensive to the left. Usually this means speech that makes use of reason and facts against their positions. But the most damaging aspect is that it reinforces identity politics and is fundamentally incompatible with a free society.

From the new bits of information being gleaned it would appear that Jared L. Loughner is not the right-wing crazy the establishment media initially made him out to be. It’s pretty clear he has a mental illness, but since the old media insists on dragging politics into this, let’s set the record straight.

Without a shred of evidence, the left media has tied Jared Lee Loughner, the 22-year old Arizona shooter, to various conservative public figures or to the political right in general. Here is a just a small sampling of the baseless accusations heard within hours of the tragic news:

Citing a poll alleging that 60 percent of Americans want higher taxes for the “rich” as a ’solution’ to the budget crises, the Morning Joe panel on MSNBC chimed in with the typical responses one would expect. From lamenting tax cuts for the so-called rich (rarely defined, but rather amorphous) to suggesting that the middle [...]

Who’s Behind the Push for Net Neutrality?

Whenever you hear innocuous sounding names describing some policy or law, you should be suspicious. Such is the case with “net neutrality,” which ostensibly ensures that service providers are not blocking websites or interfering with internet access. But this isn’t happening. So-called net neutrality is really a power grab and a stepping-stone for government interference [...]

Trying to contain one’s laughter, Mr. ‘thrill up my leg’ has deluded himself into believing he’s some kind of down-the-middle news guy. Matthews said: “I think I’m the best, generally….There’s no doubt about it, in fact, but other people have different views….’Hardball’ is absolutely nonpartisan.” This comes from a transparent leftist and one of the [...]

Daily Kos blames Democratic losses on their old standby - racism. These people cannot possibly believe that someone could have a principled opposition to their agenda. No, it’s much easier to blame it all on racism (they have to adhere to their narratives after all). This view is consistent with the president, who insults Americans [...]

Much of the media has ignored the New Black Panther case in a blatant attempt to cover for this administration. As suspected, Obama’s Department of Justice under Eric Holder refuses to apply the law in a race-neutral manner. The former Department of Justice Voting Section Chief Christopher Coates describes the extent of the misrepresentations made [...]

On last Monday’s CBS Evening News, Katie Couric lamented the New York City Fire Department’s lack of “diversity.” She reported how “…a federal judge says something is missing in their ranks: Diversity.” Jim Axelrod noted: “Fire Captain Paul Washington has a big problem with his department.” Washington declared the FDNY to be “all-white, lily white.” [...]
