When in Doubt, Blame Palin!

#BlamePalin became a sarcastic Twitter hashtag yesterday. Among other things, I blamed her for Auburn’s game-winning field goal against Oregon. Also, my four-day streak without an Instalanche. Liberals have made Palin their all-purpose scapegoat, the demon-figure whose existence relieves them of the burden for coming up with rational explanations of why bad things happen. The evasion of […]

News From the Department of Obvious: Jared Loughner ‘Was Sick in the Head’

Why New York Times reporters get the big bucks: “He was a nihilist and loves causing chaos, and that is probably why he did the shooting, along with the fact he was sick in the head,” said Zane Gutierrez, 21 . . . “Jared felt nothing existed but his subconscious,” Mr. Gutierrez said. “The dream […]

Mission Accomplished, Markos Moulitsas

You can’t un-Tweet it, you see. Before the suspect had been identified, before his motive was known, you blamed Sarah Palin for an atrocious crime of which she was utterly innocent. The facts of your cruel defamation are chronicled precisely by Professor Willliam Jacobson: As far as I can tell, Matthew Yglesias of Think Progress was […]

Nearly six in 10 Americans say the country’s heated political rhetoric is not to blame for the Tucson shooting rampage that left six dead and critically wounded U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, according to a CBS […]

They Only Have to Be Right Once

“Here we go,” says William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection, after a Democrat decides that applying the phrase “job killing” to ObamaCare is an incitement to violence: A good place to start a more civil dialog would be for my Republican colleagues in the House to change the name of the bill they have introduced to […]

MSNBC’s Non Sequitur Marathon

It is an established fact that the man who killed six people and wounded 12 other people in Tucson was not a Republican. Or a conservative. He didn’t even vote in 2010. Jared Loughner is a psychotic who bore an irrational grudge against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Why, then, is MSNBC treating its viewers to hour […]

The Suspect and the ‘Usual Suspects’

The TV in my office is tuned to MSNBC this afternoon, and there was just a report about a proposed law that would make it a federal crime to use threatening language against a member of Congress. Jonathan Turley says this was suggested by Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.), and I’m tempted to write very ugly […]
