The new Will Ferrell-Zach Galifianakis comedy “The Campaign” isn’t out to smite the Right or the Left. It has bigger targets in mind – the Citizens United case in general and the Koch brothers in particular. The film’s attack on
The late Andrew Breitbart legendarily confronted anti-capitalist protesters in rollerblades and invited them to Applebee’s, the irony seemingly lost on those who followed him to the restaurant. “This is a protest against capitalism, against libertarianism, against the free market,” Breitbart
Can you imagine James Carville in front of a giant American flag playing General George S. Patton? He can. Just listen to his pitch for money in an email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: I wish I had good
It’s hunting season, and the mainstream media is firing at big conservative donors. The Koch Brothers are a common target, with Chris Matthews not so much playing “Hardball” as bean ball, devoting a segment called “Dirty, Angry Money,” where he
Politico reports that Harvey Weinstein, the leftist Oscar-winning producer of “Shakespeare in Love,” blustered that the $38,000-a-plate fundraiser he’s hosting for President Barack Obama is simply an attempt to even the playing field between the super-rich who are backing Mitt Romney, and the
Thank goodness we have celebrities like Bette Midler to point out the ills of modern society. Midler, via her Twitter account, filled us in earlier today about why things are going to heck in a hand basket of late. And
CNN went into full anti-Romney attack mode this morning, with a false report about an anti-Koch brothers protest at a fundraiser for Mitt Romney and endless discussion of Romney’s personal finances, in keeping with the Obama campaign’s current message. The
This morning, CNN’s Ali Velshi followed the Obama campaign’s talking points to the letter, hitting Republican Mitt Romney for “offshore accounts,” “tax returns,” and for raising money in the Hamptons at the home of David Koch, the younger of the

As fundraising efforts for the 2012 presidential election kick into high gear, activists are ramping up actions to disrupt those efforts and are targeting donors directly. The latest front involves a protest scheduled for tomorrow at the private residence of
On a day when Americans found out that the economy is completely and utterly stagnant, as Americans worry about their financial futures, the Obama campaign has its head screwed on straight: they’re asking for more cash. Urgently. Here’s the email
At the latest stop on the Americans for Prosperity “Real Facts. Real Solutions.” Bus Tour in Virginia Beach, VA, the Virginia Democrat party organized protestors to support their candidate for Senate, former Governor Tim Kaine (D). A few in the
What would you say if a Koch Brothers, right-wing effort was pushed on Americans with the knowing assistance of National Public Radio — and big money was paid to NPR for the effort? Would you say that this is an
This weekend, NPR aimed its taxpayer-subsidized guns at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a relatively unknown membership association of state legislators. ALEC, a non-profit 501 (c)3 founded in the 1970s, gives the left heart palpitations by promoting general conservative
Former presidential candidate Herman Cain was a political outsider who was attacked by the permanent political class he wanted to uproot. In addition, he was a black conservative who was attacked by the institutional left for not conforming to their
In the Crane Chronicles, Part I, Breitbart News reported on Cato President Ed Crane’s collaboration with left-wing New Yorker writer Jane Mayer to launch a smear campaign against the Koch brothers. Crane then used Mayer’s hit piece as justification for
The most striking fact to emerge from the now-public dispute over the future of the libertarian Cato Institute is that the ludicrous Koch brothers conspiracy theory–a favorite refrain of the Obama campaign and the extreme left–was apparently fueled by Cato
MSNBC’s Karen Finny: “How do we go from one state to 30? Who was the Typhoid Mary for this horrible outbreak? Try not to be surprised. It’s the usual suspects: the Koch brothers, the NRA, the American Legislative Exchange Council,
As I wrote last week, global warming leftist Peter Gleick recently stole and falsified documents from the free market Heartland Institute in order to try to smear the Institute. One of the more egregiously forged portions of the documents that Gleick turned
In an unprecedented attack on two private citizens, the Barack Obama campaign has issued an email from Jim Messina, the campaign manager, specifically targeting the Koch brothers. Here’s the text: In just about 24 hours, Mitt Romney is headed to
Wednesday, two left-wing blogs posted confidential information supposedly obtained from the Heartland Institute, a free-market, non-profit think tank with a particular focus on battling global warming hysteria. They posted supposed donor information, inside financials, and even a “confidential memo” on the
I know money’s what makes the world go around – but is it the key to beating a constitutionally corrupt president? If so, then this weekend’s three-day retreat in California, attended by some of the richest billionaires (is there really
The New York Times recently endorsed having children boycott a Christmas performance of “The Nutcracker” merely because there was money from the Kochs involved in supporting it. Additionally, it would seem that art is no longer purely for art’s sake.
How else to explain this photo from the Machinists’ Union recent contract election? Unions and other leftist partisans bleat ad nauseum photo ID requirements for voting would disenfranchise voters, especially the poor and minorities. Just this past weekend, the AFL-CIO
On Tuesday, militant, Marxist, anti-war, and gay-rights activists–including some suspected of providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations–led the Occupy Chicago protesters into City Hall to stage an “in your face” protest directed at Mayor Rahm Emanuel. We caught up
– The Washington Post takes on the Koch brothers and with the help of new media the Koch’s win. Just ask their omsbudsman: In the days immediately after Bloomberg published its story but before The Post republished it, Koch swung
Two weeks ago, I responded to the mainstream media labeling the Occupy Wall Street protests the left-wing version of the Tea Party. Apparently the reasons given to prove that comparison false were too vague for the media to understand, because
George Soros, billionaire investor and grand patron of the American institutional left, has just failed in his attempt to have his 2002 conviction for insider trading in France overturned. He plans to appeal. The Soros result has gone virtually unnoticed
On July 26th, 2011, Adbusters posted a page on its website that asked the following question: “Is America Ripe for a Tahrir Moment?” Only days later, Al Gore appeared on CurrentTV’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann program to discuss what everyday,
– If Right-side blogs are a good measure – and they would seem to be in this case – the Washington Post now leads the press wolf pack for the Media Malfeasance Award of the 2012 campaign for this attack
Comrades! The Koch Brothers conspiracy theory ought to be simple enough. “They pay their conservative political puppets to hand over lucrative public energy contracts, and to erase regulations, so that they can become even richer.” Simple, comrades! Not quite simple
It is a lie that serves as the left’s basic narrative for the birth of the tea party movement and this weekend it was The New York Times’s turn to push that lie claiming that the tea party is “led
Last weekend at Fighting Bob Fest, a left-wing get together in Madison, Mike McCabe of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign spoke to the progressive crowd about the perils of money in politics, lambasting corporate dollars and the Koch brothers. McCabe even
Wisconsin Democratic State Senator Lena Taylor (Milwaukee) posted an online plea on Tuesday for a boycott of several consumer products manufactured and distributed within Wisconsin. “Money talks! Why shouldn’t you buy the following: Dixie Cups, Vanity Fair Paper Products, Mardi
Rolling Stone, whose political editor Matt Taibbi used to co-edit the eXile with Mark Ames, is pushing Ames’s discredited Koch brothers conspiracy theory in a new article about voter ID laws. The article, by Ari Berman, trumpets a supposed Koch

Thanks to Barack Obama’s failed presidency, the desperate Left is left with nothing to defend and can only personally destroy, and so they’ve created a world where the words “basketball,” “clouds” and “food stamps” are all racist. The only thing
