Sadly, No!

So how many people were there, really, at the Gathering of Eagles demonstration? We don’t know, but here’s the final word on that ‘National Park Service’ figure of 30,000 pro-war demonstrators, now ubiquitous on the Web and in the right-leaning media. Michelle Malkin wrote on Saturday that the figure came directly from the Gathering of […]

There’s been what you call ‘chatter’ about some kind of big, clever reveal during the 9/12 protests, courtesy of the now-familiar consortium of sneaks and operators organizing the Tea Party movement. An unusual amount of it has mentioned ResistNet, the fake-grassroots arm of the Republican PR firm, Shirley & Banister Public Affairs, which has specialized […]

Because, you know, we’re the ones putting up images like this: And we’re the ones comparing people we disagree with to a bacterial infection: Above: The Jew liberal will be identified!

LindaSOG, a right-wing blogger who recently posted the IP and email address of one of our commenters out of sheer bwahaha pettiness (and is now forging emails — don’t leave a comment at her site; this crazy person can’t be trusted with any personal data) brings up an interesting point apropos the Code Pink thing […]

This is one of two examples that me and Jillian stumbled across over the weekend. The post, ‘The Face of the Enemy,’ appeared on the Gathering of Eagles site yesterday, and the text reads: “Anyone […]

Quod McArdle: Jail the Jena 6 Instapundit and Orin Kerr have been posting about the problem with building a coherent story about what happened in Jena. But this strikes me as the deeper problem. I got a few emails urging me to wear black yesterday to “Free the Jena 6”. But they shouldn’t be freed. […]

Thank Heaven for those loyal patriots at The Gathering of Eagles! Without them, who would be there to defend to defend our glorious war memorials from unknown people spilling unknown substances on them, doing no noticeable damage that prompts National Park Service personnel to smile politely and make the sort of noncommittal answers they always […]
