James Taranto: universal background firearms checks means that anybody can request one.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  March 25th at 09:30 AM  | 

James Taranto makes an excellent point about the major problem with proposals to expanding who can request a background check on firearms: Currently access to the FBI’s background check system is limited to licensed firearms dealers, who have an incentive not to abuse it lest they lose their license. If it’s opened up to all prospective sellers of guns–that is, to everybody–what’s to prevent someone | Read More »

Greg Sargent’s Imaginary Conflict

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  August 24th at 10:23 PM  | 

The Washington Post’s in-house left-wing activist, Greg Sargent, thinks he can convince you that he has a “gotcha” moment with Rick Perry’s recent book “Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington”: Rick Perry’s campaign is now distancing him from another controversial claim in his book: That we should repeal the 16th Amendment and replace it with a “Fair Tax,” a radical idea that’s | Read More »

Washington Post: 95% Believe Spending Cuts Are The Best Way To Cut The Deficit

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  March 15th at 01:06 PM  | 

Greg Sargent, the Washington Post’s in-house left-wing activist, has a hilarious post up analyzing the latest WaPo poll. (The post was originally entitled, “The pubic agrees with Dems, but they don’t know it,” although eventually someone caught on and fixed the typo.) Everybody has typos; what’s more enduringly amusing is Sargent’s effort at spin:

Greg Sargent Encourages Unions To Commit Violence Then Demands We Look At His Record on Palin and Arizona

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  March 1st at 12:54 PM  | 

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 »

Washington Post’s Greg Sargent Demands Unions Get Violent. Union Goons Attack Fox Reporter.

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 28th at 02:26 PM  | 

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 »

WaPo’s Greg Sargent Casually Slanders Tea Party Movement

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  February 9th at 02:34 PM  | 

As anyone who has spent any time reading them knows, left-wing bloggers and activists tend to live in a world of their own, in which the most outrageous sorts of allegations against conservatives and Republicans are not required to be supported by any evidence. This is especially true when it comes to accusing conservatives and Republicans of bigotry and other improper motivations; left-wingers feel free | Read More »

The Filibuster Is Preserved – Progressives Lose

By: Brian Darling (Diary)  |  January 27th at 06:30 PM  | 

Moe has a good post on the demise of so called “Filibuster Reform” from earlier today.  The Senate voted on a package of rules reform proposals, but the filibuster is safe from an attempt by a simple majority of Senators to expunge it from the rules of the Senate.  The minority party and individual Senators will retain the right to force an extended debate and participate in the | Read More »

Pretending The Union Money Doesn’t Exist

By: Dan McLaughlin (Diary)  |  October 22nd at 05:30 PM  | 

Desperate Democrats have been hyperventilating for the past month over money being spent by corporate and other groups, notably the Chamber of Commerce and Americans for Prosperity, to run campaign commercials. To conservatives, running commercials to attempt to persuade voters in advance of an election is known as “free speech,” and turnabout is fair play after corporate money went heavily for Obama in 2008, but | Read More »

Obama Stimulus Money to Study Stimulus

By: Brian Darling (Diary)  |  August 5th at 04:00 PM  | 

The Coburn-McCain report titled Summertime Blues is full Stimulus projects to promote the Stimulus and ObamaCare.  This report is a must read for all conservatives who care about our fiscal future.  If President Obama is willing to spend your tax dollars on how monkeys react under the influence of cocaine, he is willing to squander your tax dollars on any and all government waste. The left is | Read More »
