The largest right-wing bloggers, such as Michelle Malkin and Charles Johnson, devote themselves on a virtually daily basis to condemning Muslims and mocking Islam. During the “Mohammed cartoon” controversy, they repeatedly published the blasphemous cartoons. Malkin has a blogger on her Hot Air blog who derisively blogs under the name “Allah”. Were fatwas issued against them? Are they living in seclusion, under 24-hour guard from the Grave Islamic Menace that

Halp us Jon Cary! Won’t you join Sally’s Truthers and halp?

Mirengoff at Power Line: California law (Proposition 209) prohibits the use of race as a factor in, among other things, admission to public universities. If this article in the New York Times Magazine by David Leonhardt is accurate, UCLA is violating California law. It’s doing so by preferring African-American applicants under the guise of preferring low income students. We know that these preferences are racially based because, according to Leonhardt,

Tom Harkin, who himself has issues regarding his representation of his “Vietnam-era” service–which helped sink his candidacy against Clinton way back when–is exercised about Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldier” reference, covered by Darleen this weekend here. Senator Harkin’s tenure in Iowa has been marked by one major issue: the ethanol boondoggle. Thanks to Harkin’s porkbarrelling on behalf of Monsanto, Conoco and Archer-Daniels, among others, consumers in the larger Midwestern markets have

Imagine that next summer we were able to have either one or several Protein Wisdom get-togethers. If there were one in the East, I’d be willing to have it here in Vermont, if that were suitable. If there were one for flyover, and one for West coast, where ought such locations be? How many of us would be willing to pay transportation and expenses for Jeff and, possibly, family? No

Flew into Philly and then Chicago without a hitch, but my brother Matt and I got our signals crossed, so I ended up sleeping on a vent in the bus terminal at O’Hare till the morning when he came to pick me up.  Fortunately, I and the brothers were able to swap appreciations of Tupac and contemplate the mystery of the female mind, so the time passed relatively quickly.  Got

…to the host of Phillies fans who hang out here in the comments. 13-4 down the stretch by the Phillies is pretty remarkable, and that finish evens the historical score on one of the most astounding collapses in major league history (where have you gone, Ritchie Allen?). Sorry, Mets fans. But the Phils were the better team, and they deserved the division title. As for the Rockies, they live to

John Gibson and Mark Levin weigh in on Media Matters, George Soros, John Kerry, Keith Olbermann, and the art of the soundbite edit — particularly with respect to the latest leftwing attempts to smear Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly.

Ace has the details. I’m beginning to think the time has come to see more of this. So long as MSM “reporters” are acting like George Soros-funded attack ads in pancake makeup and mousse, there’s no reason for Republicans Reps to provide them with on-air access. If the media is no longer interested in even pretending toward objectivity and fairness, why should Congressional representatives continue to lend legitimacy to this

Frankly, I haven’t commented on the charges of Bill O’Reilly’s “racism” because I’m quite certain that no one — not even those who pretend to be most outraged at O’Reilly, or those most delighted to seize upon this “story” (and here I include the Washington Post, CNN’s Rick Sanchez, and Media Matters’ Oliver Willis, an ever-expanding pit of hatred, racial animus, and double sausage calzones) — believes that what O’Reilly
