Because They Won’t Attack Hillary Clinton, They Attack Josh Trevino
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | June 28th at 02:16 PM |
The left is in a tizzy because some “well meaning” people are on a flotilla to Gaza and Josh Trevino dares to say what so many of the rest of us are thinking — if Israel takes out the flotilla in self defense, so be it. Frankly, from my vantage point, I can’t see any other rational position — particularly for those who support Israel, | Read More »
Leading From Behind
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | April 26th at 04:45 AM |
Many of us have been struggling to make sense of Barack Obama’s erratic foreign policy. He says he doesn’t want to fight “dumb wars” and then goes and acts stupid in Libya. He constantly seems to be working to undermine the United States’ role in the world and bows to every foreign crowned head except Queen Elizabeth II, who he gives an iPod. He returns | Read More »
American Orchestrated Air Strikes In Libya Kill Innocent Civilians
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 31st at 10:41 AM |
You and I both know that anytime you have a war, innocent civilians get killed. But Barack Obama told us this is not a war. This is just a kinetic military action. The whole reason we are in Libya is to stop innocent civilians from being killed. It is the raison d’être of Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, and Hillary Clinton. They wanted to stop a | Read More »
Milquetoast McCollum vs. the Hillarycare Killer
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | May 27th at 07:00 AM |
I have paid little attention to the race for Governor in Florida. But that race is getting more and more interesting. Friends of mine have been pushing me to weigh in on one side, then the other. Lately, however, a multitude of people have asked me to weigh in on this business with Rick Scott. He guest posted once here about Obamacare and I’ve defended | Read More »
“You Have A Marvelous Virgin” Open Thread
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | March 28th at 10:43 AM |
The irony of Hillary Clinton saying that. The article cracks me up in general. The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted by Mary on the tilma, or cloak, of St. Juan Diego in 1531. The image has numerous unexplainable phenomena, such as the appearance on Mary’s eyes of those present in the room when the tilma was opened and the image’s lack | Read More »
I thought Obama didn’t have a speech writer
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | December 5th at 01:14 PM |
During the campaign, the press kept talking disparagingly about Sarah Palin only being able to give a good speech because she had a speechwriter. They never talked about Barack Obama having a speech writer. Not only does he have one, but Jon Favreau is in a bit of a hot spot today. Remember that Obama questionnaire? Question No. 58 in the transition team vetting document | Read More »
How About Some Word Clouds?

What are the key words and phrases from the big speeches at the Democratic Convention? Clayton and I have been making word clouds. You can click them to see a larger version in our Flickr account. Here they are: Hillary: Bill: John Kerry: Joe Biden:
Bill Clinton Speaks & Joe Biden Is Next
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 27th at 08:08 PM |
This is going to be fun. The crowd goes nuts. More nuts for him than they ever did for Hillary. Michelle looks happier tonight. “I’m here first to support Barack Obama and second to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden . . . . I love Joe Biden.” “In the end, my candidate didn’t win, but I’m really proud of the campaign she ran.” | Read More »
Hillary Clinton Open Thread
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 26th at 08:53 PM |
It’s night two. Mark Warner may have the keynote, but the networks aren’t covering it much. They are salivating for Hillary’s speech — particularly in light of Bill dissing Barack Obama today. Have at it. UPDATE: The DNC moved the keynote speech from Mark Warner up because Warner would not attack John McCain. What’s this? Politics as usual at the convention? UPDATE: She’s here. I | Read More »
Just How Little Change There Is In Obama’s Hope
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | August 23rd at 12:01 PM |
The non-traditional politician chooses a gaffe machine who has been in the United States Senate since The One was eight years old. The only change there is that Obama has finally chosen to ditch the idea that he is a new type of politician. Obama is part of the failed legacy of liberalism of the past 100 years. There is nothing new here except the | Read More »
