By | 03.04.10 | 12:11 pm

There’s mostly gallows humor to be had in the campaign of Kesha Rogers, a member of the amazingly resilient Lyndon LaRouche cult who snuck past two mainstream Democrats to grab the party’s nomination in TX-22. LaRouche candidates do this from time to time, and they do it surprisingly frequently More…

Republicans are having a good time today looking over the wreckage of what Democrats once hoped could be serious re-election challenges for Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee. A Tea Party candidate’s primary campaign against Sessions crashed and burned, drawing less than 17 percent More…

Update: Yes, the woman was a LaRouche cultist. The full video is here, and I’ve added her full comments. I’m getting a lot of links to this video today, in which Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) verbally eviscerates a woman waving an Obama=Hitler sign and asking him why he More…

By | 08.12.09 | 10:10 am

A conservative Michigan blogger is accusing Democrats and “union thugs” of “planting” a man holding a sign comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler at a town hall meeting held by Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.). The evidence: One FreeRepublic.com member claimed to see the man (who was African-American) passing out More…
