In the acknowledgments of “Going Rogue,” Sarah Palin gives a hearty and extended thanks to conservative media figures, using only their first names.
To some media professionals whom I admire because you don’t let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up, please keep making the idiots’ heads spin. Thank you for not taking our [...]

Doug Hoffman, he failed Conservative Party candidate in the NY-23 special election is clearly relishing the surprise twist in his election – errors in the count that have put him only around 3,000 votes behind his opponent, Rep. Bill Owens (D-N.Y.), with around 6,000 absentee ballots outstanding. He appeared on Fox News last week to [...]

Jason Linkins, in fine form after Jerome Corsi’s conspiracy ramblings about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and President Obama, does some reporting:
I contacted Frank Cillusso, the director of the HSPI at George Washington University, who tells me that Nidal Hasan has no affiliation with the HSPI or with George Washington University, at all. “[Hasan] has no [...]

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is keeping her focus on the important issues: an amendment that would increase congressional control of “czars.”
Her amendment, which she first tried to attach to an appropriations bill without success, would also require their offices to submit periodic reports about their activities to congressional oversight committees. If they failed to comply, [...]

Charles Johnson has an interesting catch here: In August, when he was still the struggling Conservative Party candidate lagging behind in a three-way race, NY-23 frontrunner Doug Hoffman signed the 9-12 Candidates pledge, based on the values of Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project.
The values themselves are not controversial, but this isn’t something many Republicans have been [...]

Politico’s report on whether Republicans “are being wounded by the flamboyant rhetoric and angry tone of conservative activists and media personalities” is worth reading for the quotes from top Republicans, most of whom amble around the question. Of the currently relevant figures (sorry, Bob Michel), Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) is the boldest.
The commentators are part [...]

“This is not a tea party hangover,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, the president of the Susan B. Anthony list. “It is every piece of the conservative base–the Club for Growth, social conservatives, right to work, pro-lifers, everyone–coming together.”

It’s looking like it’ll be interim White House Communications Director Anita Dunn — who came under fire from Fox News host Glenn Beck last week for quoting Mao Zedong in a speech earlier this year — again taking some of the heat off of “safe schools czar” Kevin Jennings. Laura Ingraham opened her agenda-setting radio [...]

This video from Glenn Beck’s show is making the rounds on the right, and it is sort of sublime. Beck, who’s been after interim White House Communications Director Anita Dunn since she attacked Fox News, gives a short briefing on Chinese Communism to his audience before playing a clip of Dunn talking about perseverance.
“The third [...]

Here’s a strange story. On Sept. 8, Orly Taitz gave a press conference outside a California courthouse, during which she invited a small cast of characters to give statements. Taitz introduced a man named Marc Harris as “a reporter for Glenn Beck show (sic), number one radio show, and Fox News,” and Harris told reporters [...]
