There is a story out this morning that Sarah Palin’s top aide Rebecca Mansour sent out a series of nasty direct messages on Twitter about Sarah Palin’s daughter, Mitt Romney supporters, others, and me. The Daily Caller has the details. Regarding me, Jonathan Strong reported: RedState.com founder and CNN contributor Erick Erickson is “a total douchebag,” wrote Palin speechwriter and domestic policy adviser Rebecca Mansour | Read More »
It’s that time boys and girls — that time where I tell you what I really think and you can all hate me for daring to say something critical about your preferred candidate. Here’s how I think the 2012 race is shaping up by candidate, in alphabetical order.
There is no need to write ten thousand words to highlight what is perhaps the very best example these days of profound liberal bias in the media. Andrew Sullivan is now working for the Daily Beast and Newsweek after spending a great deal of time at the Atlantic. No one in the media cares to note that Andrew Sullivan is obsessed with Sarah Palin’s uterus | Read More »
UPDATE: Sargent just took to Twitter and called my quoting him directly “comical lies.” That seems to be a rather damning indictment of Greg Sargent about his own writing. ——————— Greg Sargent is whining at the Washington Post, not that I pointed out his calls for union violence in Wisconsin, but that at the very end, after all was said and done, I besmirched his | Read More »
The Washington Post’s leftwing mouthpiece, Greg Sargent, who they ostensibly pay to be an objective reporter is on twitter demanding that unions in Wisconsin get violent to get their way. In what we can presume is unrelated to Greg Sargent’s call, a Fox News reporter was attacked by union thugs in Wisconsin. Once I pointed out on Twitter that Sargent was calling for unions to | Read More »
I’m going to be on with Wolf Blitzer at about 5:10 p.m. to discuss Palin 2012. In the meantime, from the mailbag: From: Bjveraldi@aol.com Subject: Erickson-Lay off Palin Date: January 20, 2011 3:29:47 PM EST To: contact@redstate.com I watched your snarky yuck fest on CNn with Paul” forehead” Begala as you both attacked Sarah Palin. Interesting that you on the Right are so ready and | Read More »
What was billed as a “memorial service” in Arizona last night was more of a pep-rally and celebration of life. It was complete with sloganeering, bumper stickers, and t-shirts. It is what was needed. What’s more, Mr. Obama gave a stunning rebuke to his own base who’ve engaged in a horrific blame game all week. But at a time when our discourse has become so | Read More »
The left and Republican Palin Haters have been in open pants soiling mode late this afternoon over my post on Mike Pence. It is truly a matter of reading what one wants to read. Here’s what they are reading. But right now I am not excited by or inspired by any of them save Sarah Palin and, as much as I love Sarah Palin, I | Read More »
It was all for fun, but I am surprised by the results. In our 2012 brackets, Herman Cain reigns supreme as the reader pick for 2012. Now, to be fair, he also has a huge twitter following and microphone to drive people to vote. He garnered 8,900 votes to Governor Sarah Palin’s 8100 votes. Mighty impressive. Herman Cain is the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, | Read More »
As much as it pains some of my liberal friends (and some Republican friends too), I am a huge Sarah Palin fan and can’t wait to see her mop the floor with Barack Obama. At least she released her college transcripts unlike Acting President Logan . . . um . . . I mean Bill Clinton’s warm up act. In any event, I watched her | Read More »
Much has been made of this story about Republicans attacking Sarah Palin and trying to stop her. There have been some ferocious denials today about it. Many would-be 2012 candidates have denounced it, etc. Here are the facts: there is a significant, though small contingent of heavily anti-Palin forces at the upper echelons of the Establishment GOP in Washington. A good number of them are | Read More »
Editorial Note: I missed Hogan’s post. Bumping this down botton. His is better. Here is the latest hit job on Sarah Palin. There is just one problem with it. It doesn’t appear to be true. Take, for example, this bit: According to a source familiar with the situation, she backed out of planned interviews with conservative talk-show hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin the morning | Read More »
I’m not paying attention to the 8.28 rally today to be honest. It is Evelyn’s 5th birthday and we’re on our way to look at dinosaurs and zoo animals in Atlanta. But I am struck by the left-wing outrage over all of this. The same people who have been saying for weeks it is a sign of tolerance to build a mosque at Ground Zero | Read More »
Sarah Palin and RedState have joined together to endorse Karen Handel for Governor of Georgia. Karen is in a nasty runoff fight with a man who has been both a Democrat and a Republican in Washington for twenty years. Today word comes that Karen’s runoff opponent, former Congressman Nathan Deal, is under a federal investigation for his attempts to force the State of Georgia to | Read More »
“Leaders … just make a realistic assessment. And that assessment becomes very simple: John Oxendine must be destroyed either to get a chance to compete against Karen Handel or for the good of the party.” Down in Georgia, former Congressman Nathan Deal tried very hard to make immigration his issue. Trying his best to spin more than a decade in Washington as a plus in | Read More »
Last August we endorsed Karen Handel here at RedState. She’s running for Governor of Georgia. We did the same with Nikki Haley. Last month, Sarah Palin endorsed Nikki Haley. Today, she’s endorsing Karen Handel. Excellent move, Governor Palin. Now you need to donate to Karen Handel ASAP. Early voting begins this week in the Georgia Primary and Handel is going to need to get the | Read More »
At midnight last night my phone rang. It was Joe Miller calling from Alaska. It’s the first we’ve spoken on the phone, though we’ve traded emails and I’ve certainly been intrigued by his candidacy. Sarah Palin has gotten on board. The Tea Party Express has gotten on board. Conservatives from around the country are rallying to him against Lisa Murkowski — one of Mitch McConnell’s | Read More »
I don’t know what it is about attractive, powerful, conservative women, but they drive the left absolutely crazy. That’s just another reason to support Pamela Gorman. In the Arizona State Senate, Pamela was willing to be the lone vote against matters and was willing to drop amendments on popular legislation to kill it because, while popular among politicians, the legislation would be detrimental to freedom. | Read More »
Friends, we cannot let our friend down in a time of great need. Nikki needs money ASAP to get new ads on television to combat the sleazy smears against her. Join Sarah Palin and RedState in supporting Nikki Haley. By the way, Nikki now has a 20 point lead in South Carolina, which is why they are going after her with sleaze. Let’s not let | Read More »
No one cared about Nikki Haley when she was in third place in South Carolina — no one, that is, except RedState and Sarah Palin. Now guess what? Nikki Haley is in first place with a double digit lead over the number two candidate. Rasmussen has her at 11 points up. So what do they do? A blogger claims he has an “inappropriate physical relationship” | Read More »
