Obama’s Census Bureau Faked Falling Unemployment Numbers

-By Warner Todd Huston

For the last several years Obama’s administration has been short of thousands of households each month in its survey used to tabulate unemployment numbers, so instead of alerting the country to the problems inside the Census Bureau, now we find that Obama just faked the data. So, all those months of “falling” unemployment is likely a lie.

Some may recall that former General Electric CEO Jack Welch was attacked mercilessly by the left in October of 2012 when he Tweeted that he thought that the unemployment numbers were way off. He was joined by Steve Forbes in his belief that the Census Bureau was getting it all wrong (see video below).

In an October 5, 2012 Tweet, Welch said “Unbelievable jobs numbers. These Chicago guys will do anything…can’t debate so change numbers.”

From Jon Stewart to every host on the extremist cable network MSNBC, to papers like The New York Times, Welch was called a lair and attacked as the lowest of the low.

SNL’s Hilarious Slam: Obama Anti-Depressant Pill Ad

-By Warner Todd Huston

Saturday Night Live is pretty late to the game of ridiculing President Obama, to be sure, but this anti-depressant drug spoof slamming Obama is pretty well done.

In the skit we see a depressed President Obama in black and white moping around the White House beset by second term blues.

Hilariously, early in the ad the voice over says, “It feels like even your friends have turned against you.” That is followed by video of Bill Clinton (the real one, not an SNL actor) slamming Obama for lying about Americans being able to keep their health insurance and doctors if they like them.

The ad introduced “Paxil,” a drug that will help Obama forget all about Benghazi, the IRS scandal, NSA spying on Americans, the AP scandal, Obamacare, and more (like he needs help forgetting those, he perpetually forgets about his scandals).

New York Senator Dismisses Obama’s Obamacare Lies, ‘We All Knew’ He Was Lying

-By Warner Todd Huston

Senator Kirstin Gillibrand (D, NY) has finally admitted that they all knew that Obama was lying right to everyone’s face when he claimed that we could keep our insurance if we liked it.

Senator Gillibrand appeared on ABC’s This Week and made the admission in a discussion about the monumental failure that is Obamacare. She was asked by Hostess Martha Radditz if Obama lied.

In reply, Sen. Gillibrand noted that “we all knew” he was lying because his Obamacare policy was intended to destroy all old insurance policies and replace them with his government mandated plans.

ABC’s Raddatz asked, “Do you feel misled by Obama?”

Gillibrand then said, “He should have been more specific.”

But Radditz pressed asking, “So were you misled?”

“No, we all knew,” Gillibrand replied. “The whole point of the plan is to cover things people need.”

Oprah Says You Racists Have to Die For Country to Love Obama

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a recent interview Oprah Winfrey said that the only reason someone wouldn’t like President Obama is because they are racists and then said that to fix the country all you white, racists will just have to die.

Winfrey was exhaling her hot air with the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) where she was on a trip to hawk her a-historial film The Butler.

The nearly 60-year-old former hit talk show host proved once again that she doesn’t know what the word “racist” means and, like all religionist Obama supporters, claimed that race is the only possible reason why people would be against the worst, most anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Constitution, pro-communist president in American history.

Oprah was asked if people were against Obama because of the color of his skin, Oprah said, “There’s no question.”

“I think there’s a level of disrespect for the office that occurs. And that occurs in some cases … because he’s African American. There’s no question about that. And it’s the kind of thing no one ever says, but everybody’s thinking,” she bleated.

No one says? Has she not paid attention to MSNBC and the race hustlers like Al $harpton and Je$$e Jack$on? Has she not heard one celebutard after another say day in and day out that the only reason people oppose Obama is because they are evil, white racists??

Her blather continued. “As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, problem’s not solved,” she said.

“There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, in that prejudice and racism, and they just have to die.”

See that, whities? You’ll all just have to die.

It is interesting that Winfrey still acts as if the whole of the USA is “marinated” in racism. After all, she grew up mostly in the post Jim Crow era. Oprah had every educational opportunity, she became a figure much beloved as much by whites as by blacks, and became a multi-billionaire who attained the sort of fame that anyone would love to have. Where is all the “racism” that kept Oprah Winfrey down?

But the biggest point here is that contrary to the racebaiting industry in the United States, “racism” is not solely defined as whites hating blacks. Racism knows no boundaries.

Racism is a human condition and is exemplified in Japanese people looking down on other Asians. It is exemplified by dark-skinned blacks hating light-skinned blacks–and vice versa. It is seen in the hate Greeks have for non-Greeks, or the hate some have for Hispanics, or the hate American Indians have for white people, or the hate… well, you get the point. The fact is, racism exists in every corner of the world and has since man developed language and social communities. It isn’t solely a hate that white Americans have for blacks as people like Winfrey say it is.

But, I’ll tell you what, Oprah. You go ahead and give back the billions of dollars that millions of white Americans willingly gave you for your products, books, and TV shows. I mean, why would you want to have racists as fans?

OK, there is my rant for the day.

Even Lefty Howard Dean Thinks Obama Has No Authority to Fix Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

Today Barack Obama claimed that he was going to “fix” Obamacare by making insurance companies continue to offer those polices belonging to millions of Americans that have been cancelled because of Obamacare. But does he have the legal ability to do this?

On Thursday morning Obama held a press conference again apologizing for the mess that has been the Obamacare rollout and for his four-year-long lie that we could keep our insurance “if we like it.”

So, Obama made the proclamation that instead of losing our insurance, we can keep it for another year. How generous of him, eh?

This is something one-time candidate for the Democrat nomination for President, Howard Dean, thinks that Obama probably cannot do.

“I wonder if he has the legal authority to do this, since this was a congressional bill that set this up,” Dean said on MSNBC after the President’s address.

Already authorities from Washington State have said that they cannot allow the President to reverse his destruction of millions of insurance policies and simply reinstate them just on his say so.

Spongebob Squarepants ‘You’re Fired’ Episode a Ratings Success

-By Warner Todd Huston

Nickelodeon caused some stir over the last few months over a new episode of its popular cartoon Spongebob Squarepants where the titular sponge gets fired from his long-time fry cook job. Libs were unhappy at how negatively the show portrayed the welfare state. But when it aired, the episode aired on November 12 and it was a big ratings hit for the kid’s network.

The controversy arose over the fact that the popular kid’s character disparaged the welfare state during the episode causing left-wingers a bit of heartburn.

During the episode, Spongebob is fired from his job and is encouraged by his dimwitted pal Patrick to stay unemployed and mooch off his neighbors. But Spongebob is not at all happy to stay a drag on society and wants a new job so he spends much of the episode trying to find one.

Ultimately, the Bobster is given his old job back because his boss realizes that his work is exemplar and he needs Bob back at the grill to keep his customers happy. but during the show Spongie complains about his friend’s bad behavior and seeks to stay gainfully employed, something that the liberals were very unhappy with.

Obama Apologizes For Lying for the Last Four Years About Obamacare

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama has been lying to America for four years about his take over of our national healthcare system. Now he’s finally admitting he lied. But, naturally, it’s all someone else’s fault.

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Obama went on NBC News to issue one of those typical non-apology apologies. Saying he was “sorry” that Americans found themselves “in this situation”–as if he had nothing to do with it.

On November 7, Obama appeared on NBC News with Chuck Todd to deliver his half-hearted mea culpa.

“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me,” Obama said in NBC’s exclusive interview at the White House.

“We’ve got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this.”

See, America? He’s sorry people found themselves in this situation. You know. The one he created.

TV Viewer Threatens to ‘Blast’ News Reporter ‘In the Face with a Shotgun’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Talk about TV rage, police in Augusta, Georgia are looking for a man making threatening phone calls to WJBF TV because he didn’t like a reporter’s story, reports say.

Apparently WJBF reporter Michael Miller made someone upset enough to call the station several times threatening to shoot the reporter “in the face” with a shotgun. The caller also threatened to kill the other people at the station, too. Joe Biden approves of the weapon choice, anyway.

Reporter Miller told police he had just finished a story on Green Dot scams when the calls came in. A Green Dot MoneyPak card is a re-loadable cash card that many people who don’t have bank accounts use to pay bills. There are many cards like this on the market. Major credit card companies also have such re-loadable cards and all can be bought at convenience stores, grocery stores, and department stores like Walmart.

The Newest Strike in Obama’s War on Journalists

-By Warner Todd Huston

Some of you may recall back in May when it was discovered that President Obama had seized the phone records of over a hundred Associated Press reporters without conferring with the AP before he did so. This was only one small example of Obama’s war on the media, of course as there have been many such incursions into the curbing of freedom of the press. This month we got yet another one.

Obama’s AP phone record heist was a big deal earlier in the year and had journalists all over the place screaming about losing their freedoms. But, because nearly every member of the press is a slobbering Obamaite, they soon forgot all about their savior’s un-American actions.

But this wasn’t the only time Obama has shown his utter contempt for Press, the very people that got him to office by giving him 100% favorable coverage for both runs for the White House.

A recent article in The Washington Post by Leonard Downie, who is currently the Weil family professor of journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University, was stark in its assessment of how badly this president treats his lapdogs.

CBS Proves Hillary Deliberately Lied About Benghazi

-By Warner Todd Huston

During the weekend’s broadcast of 60 Minutes, CBS’ Lara Logan interviewed the British-born security chief that was on the ground during the attacks at our facilities in Benghazi, Libya in 2012, attacks that ended up killing four embassy employees one of whom was our ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens. During that interview we find out that Hillary delivered to the nation a series of deliberate, bald-faced lies about what she knew of the attacks.

Granted the 60 Minutes report did not mention the name Hillary Clinton–who was Secretary of State during the attacks–nor did it explicitly say that she deliberately lied to the nation in the aftermath of the attacks. But during the report we find out that Washington knew, even before it was happening, that the compound was about to be hit by a terrorist attack and that no Youtube video had anything to do with it all.

It was revealed that ambassador Stevens himself sent messages to the administration telling them that al Qaeda flags had been seen flying over various government buildings in Libya in the days before the attack. We also find out that al Qaeda itself had warned the USA that an attack was being planned.

Denying Interview Request, Sarah Palin Sends Photo of Dead Bear to CNN’s Anti-Gun Piers Morgan

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin really knows how to jab liberals in the eye, doesn’t she? This time she was asked by CNN’s Constitution-hating Piers Morgan for an interview and Palin chose a unique way to decline. She sent a photo of herself, her hunting rifle, and a dead bear with a special message.

Palin’s special message read, “Piers: Kid of busy right now.”

Sarah Palin does it again, this time sticking her finger in the gun-hating Morgan’s eye with a photo of herself with a gun–and a dead animal! Priceless.

Politico Buttresses Liberal Republicans at the Expense of Conservatives

-By Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media establishment hates all Republicans, certainly, but they tolerate liberal Republicans because those sorts of Republicans don’t rock the boat and are quite happy taking the scraps from the Democrats’ table. So, the media always does its best to promote liberal Republicans and will use them as a foil to destroy conservatives–the latter of whom they truly despise. Politico recently had a perfect example of this Old Media strategy.

In a piece discussing how conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives are lagging with their donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), Politico had a perfect example of how the left frames the debate when they are pretending to “report” on what is going on with the GOP.

The story noted how many of the House conservatives most associated with tea party principals don’t seem to keen on giving some of the campaign war chests to the NRCC so that it can promote left of center Republicans–and who can blame them?

In a great example of agenda “journalism,” the left’s narrative was perfectly pushed in the third paragraph of the slanted piece by Politico’s Alex Isenstadt.

Here is that paragraph:

Reporter: ‘Obama a Disaster as President,’ NYTimes D.C. Bureau is ‘Wimpy’

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a new recorded interview, Gay Talese, a longtime Washington reporter, was refreshingly forthcoming about the failures of the media to properly report on the Obama administration and had some very unkind things to say about both the “disaster” that President Obama has become and the “wimpy” New York Times D.C. bureau that is reporting on him.

Talese, a reporter since the 1960s for such outlets as The New York Times and Esquire, did mention in the podcast interview at Longform.org that the Old Gray Lady is a “better paper” than when he worked for it. But it goes downhill from there.

The Times, Talese says, “doesn’t have the antigovernment tone that I want.”

He had much more to say after that.

Liberal Media Hypocrisy, Uses ‘Racist’ to Attack Sen. Ted Cruz

-By Warner Todd Huston

If you want an example of the hypocrisy of the left-wing media, there can be no better example than the sudden, new love that Mother Jones magazine has for a Republican that ten years ago they called a disgusting, hatemongering, racist, throw back to the civil war. Why do they love him? Because he’ll attack Senator Ted Cruz.

When Mississippi Senator Trent Lott’s political career was going up in smoke in 2002, the left-wing media excoriated him as a disgusting, hatemongering racist. They hated the man. But now that the extremists in the left-wing media want someone to attack Senator Ted Cruz, suddenly Trent Lott is good enough to run to for a quote or two.

Trent Lott used to be the Republican majority leader in the U.S. Senate. Decades ago he was a Democrat operative in the strongly segregationist state of Mississippi. After years in the Democrat trenches, Lott switched to the Republican Party to run for national office eventually becoming the state’s powerful Senator.

But Trent Lott never left his Democrat Party principals behind when he jettisoned his party. He was always a left leaning Republican, one who agreed with a lot of Democrat ideas. But he made a fatal mistake in 2002. He praised famed segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond at a party.

In short order, Lott was forced to step down from GOP leadership over the controversy raised in the liberal press. Only a few years later he left elected office altogether. The media won. Trent Lott was eliminated.

CNN’s British Import Piers Morgan Calls Gun Owners ‘Heartless Gun Nut Bastards’

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN’s late evening TV host and British citizen Piers Morgan is slamming America’s gun owners again calling them “heartless gun nut bastards” on Twitter.

Morgan got angry when he discovered that Second Amendment supporters were trying to create a “guns save lives day” to be held on December 14.

It so happens that December 14 was the day that a crazed murderer killed 26 teachers and children at the Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.

“Imagine the effect this ‘Guns Save Lives Day’ campaign will have on those poor Sandy Hook families, on that first anniversary,” Morgan Tweeted in outrage.

I hate to agree even a little with this insufferable, historically ignorant, Constitution-hating Brit, but he has a bit of a point, here.

CBS’ Jan Crawford: Obamacare Website Launch ‘Nothing Short of Disastrous’

-By Warner Todd Huston

CBS’ Jan Crawford is giving it to America straight. The roll out of the Obamacare websites has been a major failure.

Crawford’s report was quite dire and in fact had not a single positive word to say about the roll out. And, while most of her report took the form of quotes from experts, other media outlets, interested parties, even late night comedians, in her own words she proclaimed it “nothing short of disastrous.”

The CBS report noted that media outlets have not been able to find any Americans seeking health insurance who were able to successfully sign up for Obamacare, pointed out that the administration stonewalled about how many have successfully signed up, and even reported that those that were at least able to create an account have now been told to reset their user name and password and start from scratch.

Crawford also featured a few words from database expert Luke Chung who said that the website is a failure in all respects.

“It wasn’t designed well, it wasn’t implemented well, and it looks like nobody tested it,” Chung said.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Hopes for ‘Killing’ Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly

-By Warner Todd Huston

And now for another episode of the more caring, more grownup, more tolerant left who… hopes to kill their political enemies. This episode stars MSNBC’s Chris Matthews who hopes that soon we’ll see “killing O’Reilly.”

Matthews appeared on a recent broadcast of the satirical political interview show, The Colbert Report, where the pseudo host Colbert was discussing Bill O’Reilly’s books with MSNBC’s extremist, ranter Chris Matthews.

O’Reilly has penned two books about assassinated historical figures, one titled Killing Lincoln and another titled Killing Kennedy. So, naturally, Matthews hoped that we’d soon be seeing a book about killing Bill O’Reilly!

Now, there is the more caring, more adult, more tolerant left we’re used to, eh?

You know what is really sad, though? Believe it or not, Chris Matthews was once a respected author and journalist. Seriously. He was. Now he’s just a clown that no one can take seriously.

Now, imagine how the left-media would have lost its tiny collective mid if a conservative or Republican had gone on the air and hoped to see some lefty killed?

The story would have crowded out tales of the shutdown in minutes.

Rouhani Interview Row: CNN Admits Using Iranian Translator But Says no Mistranslation Occurred

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN recently made news when it reported that in a break with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani admitted that the Holocaust actually occurred during WWII. Now Iranian authorities are claiming that CNN mistranslated their president’s words. To muddy the waters further CNN admits they used an Iranian government translator and didn’t have their own translators for the interview. Nonetheless, the cabler maintains that its translation is accurate.

According to the FARS News Agency, a government-run news service, CNN “fabricated” the Iranian president’s remarks about the Holocaust.

FARS says that Rouhani did not even use the word “Holocaust,” but instead said “historical event,” and therefore didn’t really recognize it as CNN claims.

GOP’s Huelskamp Schools Al Sharpton: If Obamacare is so Great How Come Congress is Exempting Itself?

-By Warner Todd Huston

President Obama and his comrades on the American left continue daily to say how great Obamacare is. But Republican Representative Tim Huelskamp of Kansas has a simple question. If it’s so great why did Obama give Congress an exemption?

Rep. Huelskamp was on MSNBC on Sept. 26 with host Al Sharpton ostensibly to talk about the abuse of food stamps, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Sharpton ran straight toward the typical, left-wing attack that Huelskamp wanted to starve kids and kill old people. But Huelskamp calmly informed the wild-eyed, MSNBC host that the idea was to wean able-bodied people off the system so that they can go get jobs and be productive members of society instead of leeches…. OK, I said “leeches,” Huelskamp didn’t.

His reforms, the Congressman said, “won’t take a single calorie off the plates of kids.”

Morgan quickly interrupted to assure the former president that CNN was doing fine, or “storming ahead,” as Morgan claimed

But Clinton wasn’t so sure. He still noted that MSNBC “has grown.”

Big Media Conglomerates Pushing Shield Law

-By Warner Todd Huston

Earlier in the month I reported on the media shield bill recently passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now that the bill is moving forward through the lawmaking process, a coalition of big media companies are putting their highly paid lobbying muscle behind it.

According to disclosure reports, Time Warner, Hearst Corp., National Public Radio, CBS Corp. and News Corp. are pressing their multi-million-dollar lobbying machines into service to urge Congress to pass the bill into law.

A spokesman for the lobbying firm that represents the Newspaper Association of America noted that a “crisis” helped spur the bill to finally emerge from the Senate Committee, that crisis being the recent prying into journalist’s phone records by Obama’s Department of Justice.

Big media is quite pleased with the current language of the bill as it seems to give them deference in just who is allowed to be called a “journalist.” But not everyone is happy with the bill.

CNN Anchor Says Founding Fathers Would Support Obamacare Because ‘It’s a Law’ Or Something

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin is aghast that Republicans would try to defund Obamacare and she is sure that the founding fathers would support Obama’s signature healthcare law because, well, “it’s a law.”

During a September 19 segment of CNN Newsroom, Baldwin said, “Congress passes a law, in this case Obamacare, and then some of its members turn around and essentially try to sabotage it. Again, I repeat, it’s a law. Certainly not the way the Founding Fathers maybe drew this thing up.”

So, the founders would not oppose Obamacare because it is a foregone conclusion since it is already a law?

Baldwin needs to do a bit of reading. The very founders that she claimed would never have opposed something that had already became law are the same founders that generated one of our Republic’s earliest Constitutional crises when the John Adams administration (our second president and a founding father) passed the Alien and Sedition laws that made it illegal to oppose the government and Thomas Jefferson (our third president and a founding father) opposed Adams, used it as a central theme in his run against Adams and won the presidency where upon he repealed the offensive law.

New Head of HLN Cable Network a Huge Democrat Donor

-By Warner Todd Huston

CNN has announced that its HLN network will be helmed by television executive Albie Hecht starting September 30. Hecht is a long-time TV executive that has headed up several other channels, but he is also a big donor to the Democrat Party.

On September 18 CNN announced that the former president of Nickelodeon Entertainment and the man who founded Spike TV will take over as the Executive Vice President and GM of HLN.

In the statement, CNN chief Jeff Zucker said, “Albie is one of the most creative executives in our industry.”

“I wanted someone who could build off the strength that currently exists at HLN, which is enjoying one of its highest rated years ever, and evolve the network and its fast-growing digital properties even more,” Zucker said.

But for all his TV experience, Hecht is experienced in another area; donating to Democrats.

Exploiting Crime: Liberals Blame Guns, One NOT Even Used in Navy Yard Shooting

-By Warner Todd Huston

Before they had any facts at all, a handful of liberals in politics and the media immediately jumped on TV using the Navy Yard shooting to blame so-called “assault rifles,” and the AR-15 in particular, and others used the crime to push their political ideology. As it turned out, though, there was no AR-15 used by the shooter. In fact, he didn’t even own one.

Before the FBI and local officials reported that the incident was over and the murderer was dead, liberals were running at lightening speed to find a TV camera or someone in the media in order to use the incident for their own political purposes.

Chief among them was Senator Dianne Feinstein who jumped to blame so-called assault rifles for the attack. Feinstein rushed out a statement to scold Congress for “shirking its duty” to outlaw guns and undermine the Second Amendment.

HuffPo’s Non-Movie Review: Brandon Darby’s ‘Informant’ is ‘Misogynistic’?

-By Warner Todd Huston

Brandon Darby, one-time liberal activist and now a Breitbart contributor, is the subject of Informant, a new film about his journey through the left’s grievance factory and the act of domestic terrorism he helped the FBI thwart. But Huffington Post is not very happy about it all. In fact, in his quasi review of the film, HuffPo’s Kris Hermes is more upset at Darby for “undermining” the left than he is at folks on his own side that wanted to kill Americans with firebombs.

At the outset Hermes admits that he has no intention to actually review the film in his film review saying, “I ultimately decided to review Informant not for its content.” But instead Hermes announced he intended to use his piece to name call, gripe about Dabry’s actions, and dismiss any wrongdoing from his compatriots in left-wing activism.

Hermes gets right to the name calling, too. In his first paragraph, Hermes calls Darby a “right-wing propagandist,” in his third he oddly calls Darby a “misogynist” and in between he claims that the FBI exists to “criminalize entire Muslim and Arab-American communities” and says Darby did the same thing; “criminalize fellow (left-wing) activists.”

Meghan McCain Feeds Left’s Attacks, Says GOP is ‘Not All Crazy Rednecks’

-By Warner Todd Huston

Meghan McCain is about to start a new “reality” TV show called Raising McCain soon to debut on the new Pivot cable TV channel. But true to her past five-years of public life, she can’t help taking jabs at Republicans and conservatives as she does it.

The show will feature McCain and her friends sitting around talking about the news of the day in what is promised to be a hip, casual style meant to appeal to youthful viewers.

In a recent interview about her upcoming show, McCain complained about all the people attacking her and maintained that her new show won’t be a political pundit-styled show because people were so “mean” to her that she is through with punditry.

“I spent the majority of my 20s having people like Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham say nasty, personally hateful things about me, about my body, about my personal life,” McCain told POLITICO. “…with people trying to humiliate me or make me out to seem like I’m stupid, or a whore, and it’s just not the energy that I want to put out anymore. …I just got to a point where I’d like to do something that’s a little different and I’ve never been happier.”

But showing why folks on the right might be a bit irked at her, along with slamming conservative political talk-show hosts, McCain went on in the interview to bash Republican Chris Christie, criticized the “extreme right-wing,” and make calls for “bipartisanship.”

‘New York Times’: Nixon Tapes Prove That Conservatives Should Give Up Principles

-By Warner Todd Huston

If you want a perfect example of how the left works, not to mention another example of how the Old Media establishment is thoroughly sold out to the far left, we have but to look to an August 23 piece in The New York Times by Francis X. Clines where we are told that the Nixon tapes show that Republicans should give up their principles and accept the left’s concepts and political policies.

Clines spends most of her piece talking about the release of the last batch of tape recordings made by Richard Nixon in the White House. Nixon’s tapes are, of course, a never ending source of fascination for liberals and from time to time also reveal an interesting window into the man’s soul, so the release of this last batch nearly 40 years after the President ignominiously resigned from office–the first (and only) president to do so—is of interest.

But buried at the end of her piece, Clines also unwittingly give us a window not into Nixon’s soul but into both hers and the leftist media’s souls.

TIME Columnist: ‘Don’t Ignore Race’ in Oklahoma Murder

-By Warner Todd Huston
