Dear Howard Kurtz et al, Let Me Explain Why Conservatives Hate The Press Corps With One Easy Example

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 11th at 10:15 PM  | 

The press is convinced that conservatives do not like them because of conjured up, imaginary reasons. That couldn’t be further from the truth. This past week, the press gave us yet another example of why conservatives have legitimate reason to hate them. Yesterday, one of the best media critics in America, Howard Kurtz, wrote a column at CNN.com about conservatives blaming the liberal media for | Read More »

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a Defamatory Hate Organization

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  August 17th at 07:00 AM  | 

One of the beautiful things about America is that we have an unencumbered right to free speech.  Unlike in many European countries where there are strict anti-defamation laws, in America one has the right to say hateful things about another person or group of people (as long as there is no incitement of violence).  Likewise, one has the right to accuse others of engaging in | Read More »

Hypocrisy is Not the Word

By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary)  |  August 15th at 09:03 PM  | 

Amidst the immediate aftermath of last year’s shooting in Tucson, Arizona and this year’s massacre in Aurora, Colorado, some liberal media figures attempted to pin the violence on “right wing extremists,” the Tea Party, and even Sarah Palin.  This, despite the fact that it was clear within a few hours of both attacks that the shooters were deranged and had no coherent political motive.  Then, | Read More »

I Just Donated to FRCAction — the Political Wing of Family Research Council

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 15th at 06:04 PM  | 

I just donated to FRCAction, the legislative/political wing of the Family Research Council. I hope you will join me in support and solidarity with this group that came under an attack today from a gunman who, based on what we know so far, hates FRC for standing for traditional values.

Human Rights Campaign Maintains Family Research Council is a “Hate Group”

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 15th at 05:54 PM  | 

I got this email from Fred Sainz, the Vice President for Communications and Marketing at the Human Rights Company: I have a great deal of admiration for you and like watching you on CNN. These Tweets are beneath you. It’s really unseemly to insinuate — in any way — that HRC had anything to do with the violence that occurred today at FRC. FRC IS | Read More »

Conservatives All Look Alike to ABC News

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 15th at 03:53 PM  | 

This appears on the twitter feed of @ABCPolitics James Dobson’s former organization is called Focus on the Family. Family Research Council is run by Tony Perkins. The news organization that immediately concluded the Aurora, CO shooter was probably a tea party activist has a real problem telling conservatives apart. By the way, Jackie Bensen of NBC 4 in Washington, DC reports the shooter had Chick-Fil-A | Read More »

Shooting at the Family Research Council

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 15th at 02:48 PM  | 

The Family Research Council is one of my favorite organizations. I consider Tony Perkins a friend and he and his staff are in my prayers today, as they should be yours. A gunman entered the building this morning, took issue with the work FRC does (no motive is known other than the gunman uttering a complaint about what FRC does), and began to shoot. A | Read More »
