For Your Own Sake, Stop the Jesus to Obama Comparisons
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 13th at 02:46 PM |
Being a partisan, I want to win this election. And I think you lefties have come upon a winning strategy to help us do it. The whole “Jesus is to Obama as Pontius Pilate is to Sarah Palin” analogy will do nothing but inflame the senses of the evangelical community, others who recognize the offensiveness of the statement, and the edge of voters needed to | Read More »

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 10th at 06:16 PM |
The survey of 16,063 people in 17 nations found majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people in 2001. SOURCE More than 22,000 people were questioned by pollster GlobeScan in countries ranging from Australia to India and across Africa, Europe and South America.

The Jesus and Pilate Meme
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 10th at 12:07 PM |
You know the one: Jesus was a community organizer an Pilate was a Governor. The left, now from the floor of the House, is comparing Barack Obama to Jesus and Sarah Palin to Pontius Pilate. Do they really want to go there? Christ knew when life began and Pontius Pilate thought the issue above his pay grade. Of course the left, which has rejected Christ | Read More »
Does Barack Obama Still Support the Bridge to Nowhere?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 9th at 03:49 PM |
Barack Obama’s campaign claims Governor Palin has flip-flopped on the Bridge to Nowhere. Where does Barack Obama stand on the bridge? Governor Palin changed her mind and told Washington “thanks, but no thanks” to the bridge. Barack Obama voted to fund the Bridge to Nowhere. So does Barack Obama still support the Bridge to Nowhere? Or has Obama changed his mind to now oppose the | Read More »
So Will He Stop Accusing McCain of Playing the Muslim Card Now?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 9th at 07:41 AM |
Barack Obama played the muslim card himself yesterday. He defended himself against Sarah Palin’s comment that “Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America — he’s worried that someone won’t read them their rights?” How did he defend himself? By saying that we shouldn’t mock the constitution — we would have to grant habeas corpus rights to Al Qaeda. Brilliant. Along the | Read More »
Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus Is Dead. The Media Killed Him.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 8th at 07:13 AM |
“It is quite telling that the media think Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign gives him better experience than Governor Palin’s political career. It also shows these doyens of politics have an illiterate understanding of the internal political process.” Twice, with Rome under threat, the Senate named Cincinnatus dictator. Both times he saved Rome, took off his toga, and went back to his fields. The story of | Read More »

The Obama Abortion Ad
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 3rd at 01:57 PM |
It took him a while to get the abortion ad to the press. He uses a planned parenthood nurse. No, not a nurse from the general medical field. He uses a nurse whose job it is to perform abortions to tell us all how we must not curtail the right to an abortion. Obama does not mention in the ad that reducing abortions would impact | Read More »
FredState at the Convention
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 2nd at 12:01 PM |
This morning RedState and Google hosted a brunch for new media types with Fred Thompson. He gave a terrific speech. Michelle Oddis will have more later at Human Events, as will other attendees have more here. One of the great points Thompson made was comparing Palin and Obama’s experience. First, he pointed out how humorous it is that the Democrats are comparing their number one | Read More »
Barack Obama’s Denial Does Not Hold Water
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 1st at 04:23 PM |
On a personal note, several credible, reliable people have told me that Obama staffers have been forwarding out the story about Sarah Palin’s youngest son not being her own. In fact, the New York Times vaguely referenced the story the other day. They would not do that if lowly bloggers were pushing the story. It had to be a connected Democrat. Barack Obama says his | Read More »
Palin vs. Obama on Life
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 1st at 01:14 PM |
The question “when does life begin” is apparently not above Sarah Palin’s pay grade. She’s willing to and has confronted the tough choice. Obama either took a pass or voted present.
Covering Sarah Palin
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 30th at 11:17 AM |
If you want to keep track of all our Sarah Palin coverage click here Now, here are some key points worth remembering: The Obama camp is comparing their number 1 to our number 2. That speaks volumes. Palin had been in elected office for 5 years before Obama ever got elected. Palin resigned her office to protest corruption. Obama has never met corruption he did | Read More »
Good Lord. Compare Joe Biden’s Performance to Sarah Palin’s
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 30th at 10:44 AM |
No. Contest. And why is it these Democrats feel compelled to YELL in the microphone? The speakers are, in fact, turned up loud enough. Has Joe been drinking?
Sarah Palin Runs A State. Barack Obama Runs His Mouth.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 29th at 03:31 PM |
I cannot tell you how excited I am about the Palin pick. McCain lived up to his maverick reputation and did well. It is time to pony up to the campaign. Sure, we’re still going to have to put up with some of McCain’s McCainisms. Let’s just get used to it. But, he’s proven he listens to us. Today he puts us on the trajectory | Read More »
Mrs. Smith Goes To Washington
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 29th at 12:37 PM |
Let’s get this out here right now. On experience: Sarah Palin runs the largest state in the nation and Barack Obama and Joe Biden combined run their mouths. That’s it in a nutshell. Here we have a mother who is a governor. Throughout her career, Sarah Palin has broken up the good old boy networks. They hate her because she has opened the doors and | Read More »
BREAKING: Obama Campaign “Mad as Hell” At McCain
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 28th at 05:17 PM |
Several reliable sources tell me, riffing off the Jonathan Martin piece, that the Obama camp is “mad as hell” at John McCain for stealing his thunder. As Martin reports: Tonight would be political malpractice,” Obama communications chief Dan Pfeiffer told Politico. “It’s one more piece of evidence that the McCain campaign is a war room masquerading as a presidential campaign.” I’m told the Democrats, recognizing | Read More »
