Here’s the Tea Party video of the week, so far: Singer/songwriter Lloyd Marcus (of “American Tea Party Anthem” fame) re-writes the lyrics of “My Girl” to pay tribute to conservative women. Watch after the jump.

Conservatives Hit Huckabee for ‘Cop Killer’ Clemency

By | 11.30.09 | 7:06 pm

It was damage control worthy of a presidential campaign. On Sunday morning, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) told the audience of “Fox News Sunday” that he was “nowhere near ready” for a 2012 presidential run. Hours later, the Seattle Times More…

Sarah Palin Thanks Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh

By | 11.17.09 | 2:03 pm

In the acknowledgments of “Going Rogue,” Sarah Palin gives a hearty and extended thanks to conservative media figures, using only their first names.

Conservative Base Stands Up to GOP in NY Race

By | 10.20.09 | 6:00 am

Asked what he’d do if he got to Congress, Doug Hoffman hesitates. He has a few ideas, such as revisiting the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, putting the breaks on cap-and-trade legislation. But the idea of winning the Nov. 3 election and becoming the only non-Republican, non-Democrat in the House More…

Chicago Loses, Conservative Celebrate

By | 10.02.09 | 12:00 pm

This seems like some curious behavior from a party that ostensibly wants to win some elections in Illinois next year. In a sizable embarrassment for the White House, Chicago was knocked out of contention for the 2016 Olympic games in the first round of voting. The conservative/GOP response: pretty much More…

When Is a Czar Not a Czar?

By | 09.08.09 | 8:47 am

With an assist from Politico, which has completely bought into Glenn Beck’s campaign against “czars” — on Monday, the publication sketched out a “GOP czar revolt” that consisted of work by Michelle Malkin, a joke by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and a comment from former House Speaker Newt Gingrich More…

By | 09.04.09 | 11:59 am

If you want to understand where the truly unexpected “Obama will indoctrinate our kids” controversy came from, look no further than the latest column by Michelle Malkin. She begins by mocking “the sneering defenders of Barack Obama who can’t fathom the backlash” and cites, as WorldNetDaily cited, an More…

RightOnline: Michelle Malkin

By | 08.15.09 | 12:20 pm

PITTSBURGH – The author of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling “Culture of Corruption” closed out the morning of RightOnline, where she’s the undisputed star. She relished the attacks on conservative activists, sarcastically repeating what she claimed were left-wing assaults: “You, the teeny tiny fringe minority of fringe conservative More…

By | 08.12.09 | 8:52 am

I noted in yesterday’s story about “Tea Party” activists reading Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” that most of the people who buy the book on Amazon are packaging it with books by ultra-conservatives. Here’s a screenshot.
