Campbell Brown Cavorts With Felons
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 7th at 11:48 AM |
Campbell Brown is at it again. Having bashed Sarah Palin from the moment she was picked, Brown is out bashing Palin for going after Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers. Brown writes, “To say, as Gov. Sarah Palin is now doing, that Barack Obama pals around with terrorists is just outrageous.” Why exactly is that outrageous? Obama worked for Ayers. Obama fundraised in Ayers’ house.

Gauging Governor Palin’s Popularity
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 5th at 01:12 PM |
The site Team Sarah has quickly taken off. It’s not an organized effort, but rather organic and grassroots in nature. Starting off with just a few members, the site has ballooned to thousands from across the nation. There has been minimal exposure, minimal promotion, and zero advertising. And it is starting to get interesting. They’ve taken their online efforts off line, having press conferences defending | Read More »

Steve Schmidt: Let Sarah Loose
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 3rd at 11:33 AM |
Here’s what I know about the Katie Couric interview: Nichole Wallace, who previously worked with CBS and now works on the McCain campaign, advocated strongly for the Couric interview, promising it would be fair. Looking at the edited out clips, it is obvious it was not a fair interview. Wallace, in fact, said it was necessary for Palin’s credibility to do a long interview with | Read More »
Palin Won. Ifill Showed Her Bias. Biden Embarrassed Obama While Palin Did Not Embarrass McCain. Paging Kathleen Parker et al
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 2nd at 10:24 PM |
Bumped up top by reader request so we can keep celebrating last night’s crushing victory by Palin before we get all depressed reading Pej and Blackhedd. Paging Kathleen Parker, Connor whatshisname, etc: If you still want to talk about Palin dropping out, you have beltwayitis and need to leave the NYC-DC corridor of talking heads and cocktail parties for the real United States.

Botoxed Joe Biden Gets Field Dressed Like A Moose
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 2nd at 09:30 PM |
Sarah Palin just field dressed Joe Biden like a moose. She was awesome. She connected with the people. She had fun. She was relaxed. She was awesome. Biden literally blew this debate — sighing heavily in the microphone. Rolling his eyes. Being condescending. Flagrantly lying about policies that Palin repeatedly called him on. Ifill herself did wind up showing her bias. She rarely gave Palin | Read More »

Joe LIED on coal. Sarah called him out on it.
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 2nd at 08:45 PM |
PERSON: “Senator, Senator, wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal?” BIDEN: “Say … I didn’t hear what you said.” PERSON: “Wind and solar are flourishing here in Ohio, so why are you supporting clean coal?” BIDEN: “We’re not supporting ‘clean coal.’ Guess what. China’s building two every week. Two dirty coal plants. And it’s polluting the United | Read More »

Sarah Palin is mopping the floor with Joe Biden
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 2nd at 08:18 PM |
Dear God this woman is on fire! Ha! I mean she’s really good tonight going back to the middle class. Last week, if you’ll remember, Obama kept referring to the middle class as “they,” i.e. “those people who I am not a part of.” Tonight, Palin says she and her husband are in the Middle Class. She can relate. That’s a big deal. Well done.
Gwen Ifill Should Not Moderate The Debate
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 1st at 10:18 PM |
As you probably know by now, Gwen Ifill, the debate moderator for the Vice Presidential Debate, has a financial interest in Barack Obama winning the election. Ifill is the author of The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama, a new book scheduled for release on Inauguration Day. Its Amazon.com promotional statement says, “In ‘The Breakthrough,’ veteran journalist Gwen Ifill surveys the American | Read More »
There are days I think we deserve to lose
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 1st at 10:54 AM |
This is one of them. If you haven’t heard of Culture 11, you are no worse off. I’m not going to link to them. They are Steve Forbes’s money + Bill Bennett’s name to give you some conservative culture take. My good friend Joe Carter, who sent me a very nice email last week that I now remember I never responded to (I’ll get to | Read More »
Good Grief, CNN is performing oral pleasure on the Obama Campaign
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | October 1st at 08:44 AM |
CNN has sent a reporter to the Alaskan island 2 miles from Russia. The whole point is to mock her for her comments on foreign policy and Russia. “She’s never even been here,” CNN’s reporter says. “In fact, no one feels any threat from Russia being as close to them as the White House is from the US. Capitol,” he says. How many hours have | Read More »
RE: Memo to Kathleen Parker
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 29th at 08:37 AM |
Totally agree Josh. She has really helped the media create a “conservatives don’t like her” narrative against Palin. It is not helpful.
Free Sarah
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 27th at 05:12 PM |
A reprint of AChance’s comment: Unlike most here and elsewhere in the Country, I actually know Sarah Palin. I sat in Monday morning commissioner’s staff meetings with her when she was on the AOGCC, I’ve chatted with her from time to time, and I see her dealing with the press here all the time. Usually, she is quite voluable, even chatty. My only criticism is | Read More »
Yes, why isn’t this news?
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 25th at 01:38 PM |
That’s Jenn Rubin’s question about this. A $100,000 state grant for a botanic garden in Englewood that then-state Sen. Barack Obama awarded in 2001 to a group headed by a onetime campaign volunteer is now under investigation by the Illinois attorney general amid new questions, prompted by Chicago Sun-Times reports, about whether the money might have been misspent. You and I frequently speculate that if | Read More »
Alcee Hasting Equates Jews And Blacks to Animals
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 25th at 10:06 AM |
There really is no other way to look at Alcee Hasting’s (D-FL) remarks. He said, “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. So, you just think this through.” Well, I have thought this through and the only conclusion I can come to is that he thinks Jews and blacks are animals. Why else would | Read More »
Examiner Endorses McCain-Palin
By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | September 25th at 08:12 AM |
There you go. America is at war overseas and in an economic crisis here at home. Many of her citizens believe the country is on the wrong track. It is for times such as these that men like John McCain are made, to put country first so that it can be put right in its time of need. For this reason, The Examiner endorses McCain | Read More »
