Geert Wilders Not Guilty of Hate Speech

A big victory for free speech in Europe. The courageous Dutchman’s most enthusiastic American admirer Pamela Geller is celebrating. I trust commenters will alert us when Charles Johnson tries to rationalize this latest defeat for his “Eurofascist” smear campaign. UPDATE: Could he possibly be more predictable? Let’s pause first to ask whether anyone did more […]

Ladd’s Ad Gets Results

And by “results,” I don’t mean merely a cease-and-desist letter from a lawyer for the Los Angeles County Democratic Party. No, as I report at The American Spectator: Tuesday, the National Republican Congressional Committee debuted a new “Hahn Got Me Out” Web site telling 36th District voters: “Janice Hahn helped steer taxpayer money to support violent, […]

Science Gone Wrong

Instapundit’s enthusiasm for all things scientific leads him to write this headline: MORE WOMEN ARE freezing their eggs to make babies later. Makes sense. Well, excuse me for disagreeing. It is a preposterously stupid idea to encourage women deliberately to postpone first-time motherhood until they are middle-aged, without concern for the obvious arguments against such a decision. For […]

Bob Belvedere Is Nuts

Having previously vowed to have no comment — no comment! — about the former Hillary Clinton intern who is now working in the “adult entertainment industry,” I’m obliged to point out that Bob Belvedere at Camp of the Saints has photos of the woman. Perhaps not the most interesting photos of her, but I repeat: […]

Conservative PAC Asks Law Enforcement to Investigate DOS Attack on Web Site

When the Turn Right USA political action committee (TRUSA-PAC) launched their controversial online video ad attacking Democratic congressional candidate Janice Hahn last week, TRUSA-PAC experienced a denial-of-service (DOS) attack that prevented people from reaching their Web site. Now the PAC is asking the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to investigate the hacker attack: Turn […]

Fake Twitter Girls?

Friday, Jennifer Preston at the New York Times had an intriguing story about the “Betty and Veronica” sideshow of WeinerGate. I was up to my neck in Right Online at the time, and so didn’t get around to blogging about it Friday, but to those of us who followed WeinerGate in-depth from Day One, this is […]

‘The Problem … Is That Thomas Doesn’t Care What the New York Times Thinks’

Those are some of Professor Glenn Reynolds’ thoughts on exactly why the editors of the New York Times would assign a reporter to do a 2,700-word hit piece on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Twenty-seven-hundred words. That’s four times the length of a typical news story, and the piece essentially re-hashes a Democratic Party talking […]

VIDEO: Breitbart Talks WeinerGate

MINNEAPOLIS Everybody I saw downstairs this morning at the Right Online conference kept telling me, “You look rough.” As well I should. My flight out of Dulles yesterday was delayed more than an hour on departure. By the time I arrived, checked into the Hilton and had dinner — bangers and mash at a British-style pub downtown […]
