Olbermann believes that because he does not see X number of minorities at Tea Parties, the Tea Parties must all be racists. On a recent show he kept repeating the question: “Where are the people of color at the Tea parties?” (there are some, but not enough for Keith apparently)

The mainstream media is predictably unhinged at Sarah Palin’s remarks at Saturday’s National Tea Party convention. But the current relapse of Palin Derangement Syndrome is mostly attributed to her having scribbled a few notes on her hand. Apparently this is a big deal worthy of just about every media outlet’s ire.
Chris Matthews was particularly absurd, [...]

President Obama, an expert at condemning partisanship before practicing it himself, thought it proper to lambast the Supreme Court’s recent First Amendment decision in front of the country and the Justices sitting not ten feet away.

Filed under Culture, Education, History, Religion

For too long have Western apologists, primarily in academia and the media, presented the American people with a sugarcoated version of Islam. One of their main arguments is that the religion has been hijacked, but this is actually false. They also claim that terrorists are poor people pushed into extremism, which is also false, as [...]
