Opinion: Obama's Weakness -- He's Typical, Not Radical
By Michael Medved - AOL NewsThe best way for conservatives to defeat Barack Obama in 2012 is to tag him as typical, not radical. The GOP only hurts its own cause by slamming Obama as an extremist ideologue with an alien agenda, when it's both more accurate and more effective to identify him as a conventional, old-school, big-government liberal. When his critics suggest that the president stands far outside the political mainstream (like Newt Gingrich's charge that he's "the most radical president in American history") they ought to confront one important challenge: try to name one significant decision by this president ...

Keith Olbermann's Replacement Better Not Have Donated to Anyone, Ever
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Nov. 5) -- Like a bad segment on MSNBC's "Countdown," the Keith Olbermann suspension episode (which may rapidly transition into the Keith Olbermann firing episode) just keeps on getting more outlandish. Late this afternoon, the unapologetically left- (sorry, "forward") leaning cable news show host was unceremoniously suspended by his network without pay, indefinitely, following the revelation that he gave undisclosed campaign contributions to Democratic candidates running in the 2010 midterms. Hours later, his supposed interim replacement, Chris Hayes, was yanked from the show as well, but ...
Andrew Breitbart Slams ABC for Dropping Him From Election Coverage
By David Knowles - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- Maybe Fox News will hire him. On the day that he was supposed to provide commentary about the outcome of the midterm elections, conservative media personality Andrew Breitbart learned from ABC News that his services would no longer be required. Breitbart runs Big Government, the right-leaning website that was responsible for airing an edited clip of USDA official Shirley Sherrod that resulted in her firing. On Tuesday, Andrew Morse, the chief of ABC's political division, sent Breitbart the following letter: Dear Mr. Breitbart, We have spent the past several days trying to make ...
Why Does Soros Really Support Legalized Pot?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News
(Oct. 26) -- Liberal investing giant George Soros already commanded quite a reputation, for good and for ill: "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" in the early 1990s was also a sworn enemy of George W. Bush and Fox News in the United States, and more recently, a generous donor to Media Matters and National Public Radio (you know, the station that fired Juan Williams -- yes, some conservatives are drawing a connection). But now he can add another feather to his cap: that of legalized pot promoter. "Our marijuana laws are clearly doing more harm than good," Soros begins in a widely ...
After Juan Williams: Does NPR Still Matter?
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Oct. 25) -- The Juan Williams firing has turned much attention toward NPR, much of it negative. Fox News, which rewarded Williams with a handsome contract, and other conservative outlets have called for a pulling of public funding from the radio organization, a sort of punishment also favored by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Williams himself. (NPR only gets about 2 percent of its budget from the government, however.) Also, there are calls for NPR's increasingly apologetic CEO Vivian Schiller to resign, which, at least to my ears, sounds reasonable since she obviously bungled the entire ...
@Reagan.com Peddles 'the Only Conservative E-mail'
By Matthew Hall - AOL News(July 30) -- Does the simple act of sending an e-mail benefit liberal political agendas? According to Michael Reagan, eldest son of the 40th president of the United States, if you use one of the most popular providers, the answer is likely an emphatic "yes." And he wants to sell fellow conservatives an alternative. Reagan, who was adopted by Ronald Reagan and his first wife, Jane Wyman, is a former radio talk show host who works as an author and conservative political activist. Earlier this week, he took to his website to launch his latest crusade/venture: Sam Stewart, AOL Michael Reagan, ...

The Health Care Divide: Dems That Have, and Dems That Don't
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyThere's a civil war going on among Democrats in the so-called heartland. Here in the Midwest, Democrats agree on most things. We were thrilled to usher in the first African-American president. We are largely pro-choice, we're OK with gay marriage, and we hate Rush Limbaugh with the passion of 10,000 suns. But when it comes to the health care reform bills working their way through Congress, Democrats fall into two distinct camps. ...
Whole Foods Boycotted by Liberals for CEO's Anti-Obama Health Care Position
By Emily Miller - Politics DailyThe grocery store Whole Foods is facing a boycott organized by liberal activists because the CEO opposes President Obama's health care reform proposals. The company's chief executive, John Mackey, wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed on health care that has roiled the liberal blogosphere and prompted calls for a boycott. "While we clearly need health-care reform, the last thing our country needs is a massive new health-care entitlement that will create hundreds of billions of dollars of new unfunded deficits and move us much closer to a government takeover of our health-care system," Mackey ...
