Note: This excerpt from Juan Williams’ column is Sheila Jackson Lee approved So what word or words in the English language should the GOP candidates never utter this year in order to avoid being accused of being either overt or covert racists?

MSNBC’s “Lean Forward” campaign still has some leaning to do as far as name recognition, as evidenced by this short Jeopardy clip: ***** Ouch. I wonder how loud the crickets would have been if they’d have shown a picture of Ed Schultz. (h/t Breitbart.tv)

Filed Under Media, Politics | 33 Comments
For some people, the crop of Republican presidential candidates has left their thirst for conservatism as unwhetted as Michael Moore’s appetite at a vegan restaurant.

Filed Under Media, Moonbats, Politics | 22 Comments
In addition to being racist for referring to Obama as the “food stamp president,” Captain Legthrill said this week that Newt Gingrich is also racist because he referred to debate moderator Juan Williams as… “Juan.” No, seriously: “That use of the name ‘Juan,’ the way he did it.

Filed Under Media, Politics | 5 Comments

It’s pitiful how the reigning RINO patriarch of Congress plays right into Letterman’s hands here as he rips [...]
