On Thursday’s CBS Early Show, senior White House correspondent Bill Plante praised President Obama taping an appearance on ABC’s ‘The View’ on Wednesday: “…the President is trying to reach people who may not normally pay attention to politics….It’s not the first time [he] has reached out to audiences beyond the Washington Beltway.” Plante went further, explaining: “…it is the beginning of the Democrats’ strategy to try to save their majority …

Al Franken”s Keynote Speech at Netroots Nation : “Here’s more key evidence of how deeply top Democratic officials are tied to the neo-communist anti-Semitic hate-blog Daily Kos (and the rest of the progressive blogosphere, CAP, Media Mutters, etc.).

In its latest tale about how President Obama is out to attack all that is good and right about America, Fox News yesterday alleged that the Justice Department is now purposely disenfranchising America’s troops, too. The charges come originally from Sen. John Cornyn, courtesy of Fox resident ginner-upper J. Christian Adams — the same Adams who’s pushing allegations of racial favoritism against the DOJ. Their story is that the DOJ is intentionally trying to undermine a new law meant to protect the voting…
Liberals are desperate to bully or chide the rest of the country into accepting massive new taxes to support the recent federal spending surge. Many opponents who resisted the spending on the grounds that it increased the budget deficit are now being called deficit chickens because they oppose the tax hikes needed to pay for all that spending.

Liberal co-host Joy Behar railed against Fox News and “the right-wing.” She complained, “.. .They seem to be hijacking the narrative. Where, on your side, is the narrative? ” [MP3 audio here .] She seriously asserted, “Where is your attack dog to come out and tell the American people, ‘Listen, this is what we did?’” After Obama told Behar, “that’s your job,” she eagerly replied, “I do it!

The Daily Caller released a new JournoList scoop today, and this one’s a doozy. It confirms that reporters on the liberal media listserv did in fact collaborate with political operatives and campaign officials to spin media coverage in favor of Barack Obama. The latest piece further debunks JournoList founder Ezra Klein’s claims – also taken on by this humble blogger – that the email list did not include campaign or government officials, and was not used to manufacture talking points. In fact, two members of the Obama campaign, Jared Bernstein and Jason Furman, were JournoList members during the race. Jeff Hauser …
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has declined to hold another hearing on the New Black Panthers case, which had been requested by the committee’s Republicans. From Leahy’s letter, via Greg Sargent : The current partisan focus on this issue seems to be a product of the election year calendar more than credible evidence of wrongdoing. The insinuation that there may be “widespread politicization and possible corruption” seems to echo the ongoing drumbeat on partisan advocacy cable and radio shows. Questions about this incident have been asked and answered numerous times. Reviews are ongoing. Judiciary Republicans, led by Sen. Lindsey Graham, had asked…

On Thursday’s Early Show, correspondent John Blackstone reported on a federal judge blocking several provisions in Arizona’s new immigration law: “The judge’s ruling seemed to answer the prayers of many in Arizona’s immigrant communities.” Footage of two women crying and praying at a protest against the law followed his declaration. Blackstone began his report by noting that protestors “are already beginning to gather for more protests today against Arizona’s new law. They know that even with the court ruling yesterday…there will be an appeal, that their battle is not over.” During the segment, the headline on screen read: “Border Battle; Judge Blocks …
