This Needs To Be Edited Into A TV Ad
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 6th at 12:24 PM |
The Charles Koch Foundation has come up with a web ad on economic freedom. It is an important message. I cannot stress enough that you need to watch this. It is only 2 minutes. But more importantly, the Koch Foundation needs to turn this into a 1 minute television advertisement. It’ll require some work to do, but this is a message that needs to get | Read More »
George Soros Gives Little Lee Fang His Comeuppance
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 30th at 04:33 PM |
One of the most genuinely stupid and embarrassing things to ever appear at Think Progress — and that’s saying something — was a recent supposed takedown of the evil Koch Brothers by their supposedly nemesis, Little Lee Fang the ankle biting blogger. Little Lee Fang tried to make a mountain out of something sinister called contango, a concept about which he clearly knew nothing and | Read More »
Lee Fang and Center For American Progress Use Foreign Money to Influence American Elections
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 18th at 04:00 AM |
Remember in 2010, Barack Obama, the Center for American Progress (“CAP”), and little Lee Fang over at CAP, were in high dudgeons about the United States Chamber of Commerce and “foreign money.” The irony here is that Lee Fang and CAP are largely funded by a convicted criminal named George Soros whose conviction for insider traded was upheld way back in 2006 in France. But | Read More »
Are Lee Fang and Think Progress Intellectually Dishonest or Stupid?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 20th at 10:35 PM |
It is no secret that Think Progress and its amateur muckraker Lee Fang are out to get Koch Industries by hook or by crook. But their latest bit of hackery begs the question of whether they are intellectually dishonest or just stupid. Power Line has a bit on it and Mark Tapscott does too. In short, the communist rag The Nation uncovered a flier sent | Read More »

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 23rd at 10:00 AM |
Power Line’s John Hinderaker has done the heavy lifting on a case of journalistic incest by Dan Eggen at the Washington Post. The Obama mouthpiece Center for American Progress did a hit job on Congressman Mike Pompeo (R-KS) who happens to represent that part of Kansas in which Koch Industries is located.

Delegitimizing The Victories: The Politics of the Angry White Male
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 1st at 05:00 AM |
“It will be easier for the Democrats to believe in a grand conspiracy that stole the election, than to accept rejection by the American people.” Conservatives will be fighting on two fronts after today. First, Establishment Republicans will be peddling stories, as they have in the past week, that conservative gains in the Senate were really not significant compared to the Establishment pickups. We’ll deal | Read More »
Is Obama Throwing His Pedophile Supporting Appointee Under the Bus?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 11th at 10:47 AM |
Byron York has an interesting look at Barack Obama’s speech to the Human Rights Campaign on Saturday night. The Center for American Progress, which is the outside the White House arm of the administration, claims Obama signaled that he is standing by Jennings. Maybe, but as Byron York notes, maybe not. What Obama actually said was: And it’s for this reason if any of my | Read More »

Josh Silver, the Executive Director of Free Press a media reform group, wrote a piece at the Huffington Post a few days ago urging Glenn Beck to “Stop the Insanity”, tying beck to “Charles Coughlin’s hate speeches” Looking back, it’s hard to believe that Father Charles Coughlin’s hate speeches were broadcast into millions of homes during the 1930s. Coughlin’s anti-Semitic rants incited prejudice and violence. | Read More »
The Democrats’ Official Talking Point: If you oppose the Democrats’ plans for healthcare, you are a corporate stooge and not a real American
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 4th at 07:00 AM |
More and more videos are circulating each day of congressmen facing the wrath of the American people. Consequently, the Democrats have come up with an official talking point — the protests are bought and paid for by lobbyists and the insurance industry. Whether we want to or not, we have to pay attention to what Think Progress says when it starts saying the same thing over | Read More »
Why is Faiz Shakir, a Research Director for Center for American Progress, Lying to Get Information?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | November 24th at 07:20 PM |
This is Faiz Shakir. He is a research director at the Center for American Progress and editor of Think Progress. Center for American Progress is the “think tank” that only thinks about how to spin Democrat agenda items into publicly acceptable public policies. And Faiz Shakir is one of their hit men — running Think Progress to help set a media narrative in favor of | Read More »
