Sarah Palin: Could She Run as an Independent or Third Party Candidate?
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySarah Palin talks a lot about the tea party. On Fox News last week, she said, "I find inspiration in tea party patriots [and] those with common sense who aren't playing a lot of games." She could be considered the tea party's godmother. With her Sarah PAC and support for 2010 tea party candidates, Palin has generated a lot of good will, not to mention publicity, for a movement that began only two years ago. She also isn't afraid to attack popular Republicans such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Related Stories Sarah Palin's India Trip: Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela ...
Year in Review: 13 Most Memorable Political Quotes of 2010
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyThe year now coming to a close was a rewarding one for collectors of political quotations. This is not the same thing as saying that most memorable lines of 2010 were uplifting. Many of the utterances that entered the lexicon were unrefined, simplistic or just plain mean. Women in the political arena were insulted and put upon, often by other women -- and sometimes by themselves. And the most inspiring campaign speech was given by a cable television comedian. It was that kind of year. Typically, many of the quotes we think we remember – "don't touch my junk," for example – were ...
6 More Cable News People Who Have Made Political Donations
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 5) -- Keith Olbermann isn't the only one. After NBC suspended Olbermann for violating the company's ethics policy by donating money to political campaigns, the inevitable question started being asked: Who else in cable news has done the exact same thing? By this evening, the world learned what probably isn't so shocking to begin with: Partisan journalists like to give money to candidates and political organizations they often talk about on television. 1. Larry Kudlow A staunch fiscal conservative, the CNBC anchor gave to former Republican Congressman Christopher Shays in 2009, ...
Opinion Roundup: 'Ground Zero Mosque' Politics Take Another Bizarre Turn
By John Merline - AOL News(Aug. 18) -- As if the politics of the so-called ground zero mosque couldn't get any more otherworldly, this week has so far seen House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggesting that the funding sources of mosque's opponents should be investigated, Newt Gingrich comparing mosque builders to Nazis, and Harry Reid and other Democrats taking plenty of friendly fire for what critics call their cowardice. Pelosi's Investigation Responding to a question from a local radio reporter, Pelosi said: "There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who ...
Video: Pat Buchanan Calls Newt Gingrich 'a Political Opportunist'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyFresh off his vacation, MSNBC's Pat Buchanan came out swinging Tuesday on "Morning Joe," calling former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a "political opportunist" for his comments about the proposed mosque in New York City. On Monday, Gingrich compared the building of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero to Nazis putting up "a sign next to the Holocaust Museum" or "the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor." Buchanan argued that Gingrich's controversial comments were meant to position him to the right of his potential GOP primary opponent, Sarah Palin, on the issue. According to ...
Joe Scarborough: For Too Long, McCain, Kristol, Graham & Lieberman Have Defined GOP Foreign Policy
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyAppearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this morning, Joe Scarborough and Pat Buchanan agreed with Ann Coulter's comments that Afghanistan is now 'Obama's war.' " As my recent column predicted, this has the potential to create a major schism in the conservative movement. Check out this video . . . Here are some key excerpts from Scarborough: Anybody that understands how the conservative movement runs, how the Republican Party runs, there are columnists that people listen to. Ann Coulter is one of them on the hard right. And when Ann Coulter starts coming out, criticizing Republican foreign ...
Pat Buchanan's Nightmare? Black, Asian, Hispanic Voting Rates Rising
By Mary C. Curtis - Politics DailyPat Buchanan and Chuck D. Now that's a show I would pay to see.In 1990's "Fear of a Black Planet," the third album from Chuck D's influential hip-hop group Public Enemy, the title-track lyrics asked: "What is pure? Who is pure? Is it European state of being? I'm not sure."Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan would seem to have no such uncertainty. He counseled Republicans to score political points during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor by stoking white resentment. On Rachel Maddow's show on MSNBC, he said: "This has been a country built basically by white ...
English-Only Group Can't Spell the Word 'Conference'
By David Knowles - Politics DailyShould English be the official language of the United States? That assertion was made over the weekend at a conference hosted by talk-show personality and former presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. Oddly, as the featured speakers delivered their remarks ridiculing Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor for her supposed lack of English proficiency while at Princeton University, and warning that the Obama administration is "going to gradually institute institutional bilingualism in the country," they did so beneath a large banner that contained a doozy of a typo. Via a photo from ThinkProgress, ...
Obama Abandons 'Buy American' Stimulus Provision
By David Knowles - Politics DailyPresident Barack Obama has changed his mind as to whether the massive stimulus bill that is expected to be approved by Congress today should include one or more strict, "Buy American" provisions in it. Back before the economy crumbled before our very eyes, Obama espoused the ideals of the Buy American philosophy, even using the phrase in promotional materials. Now, however, Obama has backed away from mandating such policies. To the dismay of big labor, as the stimulus bill currently stands, previously included made-in-America restrictions have been dropped. Politico explains:The current Buy ...
MSNBC Analyst Has a Meltdown
By Denise Williams - Politics DailyPatrick J. Buchanan, MSNBC's Senior Political Analyst, author and all-around "save the white race from annihilation and extinction" advocate comes closer and closer to losing it completely. Buchanan, whom I had profiled in some detail here, has turned into the white man's foil during this primary season on MSNBC. Always quick to point out the problems with Obama's capture of the lunch bucket crowd and how he can't get out the white vote, Buchanan has warmed to Senator Clinton for becoming the "everyman" that he feels is necessary to capture the race for the Dems. The more Obama wins, the more ...
