Opinion: When Political Pundits Go Bad
By John Merline - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- If there's one certainty after this election, is that political pundits will be out in full force, offering their expert opinions on what it all means, and boldly predicting the future health and well-being of the two political parties. Should anyone listen to them? Or would you be better off heading over to the local fortune teller? Given the track record of some pundits, that's a tough call. Consider how well the punditocracy did after the last big election in 2008. That one saw President Barack Obama win and Democrats expand their majorities in the House and Senate. And it ...
Ignore Your Inner Cynic and Vote on Tuesday
By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily"Tribute to Her," uploaded to the Internet on Nov. 7, 2008, is a slideshow of Election Day photographs. YouTube member SailorBrownie described her post as a "dedication to all those Black Americans who went out on Tuesday and voted. We made history." While it's not altogether clear who is the "Her" in the title of the video, it might as well be the woman collapsed on the floor in tears. A girl nearby touches her cheek with a little confusion and a lot tenderness for the woman who is, most likely, her mother. The pictures are set to the Beatles song, "Blackbird" -- a good choice, considering ...

Poll: Number Who Call Obama a Muslim Rises
By Theunis Bates - AOL News(Aug. 19) -- The number of Americans who believe, wrongly, that President Barack Obama is a Muslim has climbed significantly since he entered the White House and now accounts for nearly one in five people, according to a survey out today. Eighteen percent of the American population said that they thought Obama -- a Christian -- is Muslim, up from 11 percent who said so in March 2009, according to the poll by the non-partisan Pew Research Center and its affiliated Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. The number who correctly said he is a Christian dipped to 34 percent, down from 47 percent two ...
Opinion: Earth to Conservatives on 'Journolist' Flap: Get Over It
By Bob Maistros - AOL News(July 26) -- So conservatives are up in arms because liberal scribes mused on the Journolist message board about scuttling the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story and otherwise providing a helping hand to candidate Barack Obama? In the journalist -- as opposed to Journolist -- community, there's a term for a story like that: "Dog bites man." Dudes, we knew before the Nixon administration that the so-called "mainstream media" leaned heavily to the port side. The famous 1981 Lichter and Rothman survey showed, for instance, that 81 percent of the so-called "media elite" pulled the lever for George ...
Opinion: Reid, Rage and Race
By Michael Arceneaux - AOL News(Jan. 12) -- Conventional wisdom says I should be boiling over in sheer rage. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had the audacity to say during the 2008 presidential campaign that Barack Obama was a light-skinned African-American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." To quote the great Snagglepuss, "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" Sen. Reid has been outed for echoing a familiar sentiment expressed throughout the last election. But how dare he express it in a way that sounds so ... quaint? I mean, that sort of political incorrectness just isn't something to be expected from ...
