Howie Carr: Democrats, the Kennedys, and Antisemitism

The Kennedys are – or should – be an embarrassment to the Democrat party for many reasons, most of which involve the old admonition that parties that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Liberal Lexicon Spins Islamic Terror

These are the same words the liberal mandarins of Political Correctness employed after Fort Hood, after San Bernardino, after Chattanooga, after the Marathon bombing – it’s as if we’re living through a blood-soaked remake of the old movie Groundhog Day.

‘Dude Where’s My Car?’ Ted Kennedy’s Chappaquiddick to Get Hollywood Spin

They need a title for Ted Kennedy’s story. The recent Benghazi movie was called “13 Hours.” Maybe this one should be named “11 Hours.” In the early 1960s, a movie was made about JFK’s sunken boat in World War II – “PT 109.” Maybe the Chappaquiddick story could be called “PT 9-1-1.”

Godfather Appoints Cop-hater as ‘Senior Adviser’ to Police Panel

Monday Emanuel fired his police chief and appointed this new task force to investigate the practices of the Chicago Police Department. As for Deval Patrick, he now comes full circle. He began his career, such as it is, as what Tom Wolfe once described as a “mau-mauer,” a community organizer-type, an NAACP lawyer filing suits against the death penalty and prison conditions.

NPR Meets ISIS: What A Liberal Should Tell a Muslim Terrorist

On this busiest travel day of the year, if – Allah forbid! – you should find yourself in some blood-spattered transportation hub, begging an ISIS-affiliated, Kalashnikov-wielding thug for mercy, do you open your backpack to show him your dog-eared copy of “Koran for Dummies?”

Trigger Warning: Pablum Puking Pajama Boys Should Shut the Bleep Up

I am so fed up with all this BS. Who do you pajama boys and womyn’s studies majors and queer-theory professors think you’re kidding? It was a bad joke back in 1969 when some fool wrote a book called “The Student As Nigger,” and it’s even more preposterous now when a bunch of Ivy League pukes in New Haven have the gall to describe themselves as “marginalized students.” Shut the bleep up.

Big Questions Go Unanswered at Dem Debate

So many pressing questions last night at the Democratic debate didn’t even get asked, let alone answered.

Wall Street Journal Again Blames Talk Radio for GOP Infighting

Long Before James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, There Was Joe Kennedy

It’s the stuff of Hollywood blockbusters – an ambitious Irish family parlays fabulous wealth generated in the rackets into a spectacular political rise. But in the end, like Icarus, they crash and burn as their sordid, never-severed underworld ties finally drag the arrogant sons down in disgrace and scandal. The Bulgers? Yes, of course. But also the Kennedy clan.
