Chris Hitchens Has More Advice for 'Black Dyke' Wanda Sykes
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAuthor and uber-contrarian Christopher Hitchens couldn't leave well enough alone when it came to his offensive and bigoted assessment of Wanda Sykes' performance at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner. While some folks cut him slack by surmising that he was probably drunk when he called Sykes "the black dyke," Hitchens "cleverly" wants us all to know he meant it by referring to her twice as "the sable Sapphist" in an article at Slate. Funny stuff, you fornicating little pink star.As if that wasn't insulting enough, the premise of Hitchens' piece was to school Wanda, and any other ...

Romney's Secret 'Push'?
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIt is no secret that the issue of religion is a touchy one for Mitt Romney. Many pixels have been posted, and ink spilled as to whether or not the Mormon candidate should deliver a JFK-like speech to directly address the role faith may play if he is elected president. So when the news broke that coordinated telephone calls, known as "push polling," were being made to Iowa voters disparaging Romney and his Mormon faith, the outcry was textbook outrage:"Whatever campaign is engaging in this type of awful religious bigotry as a line of political attack, it is repulsive and, to but it bluntly, ...
