It started yesterday with Booker responding to a tweet to Booker that said, "I believe that romney lies about everything...romney lies....he cares about nothing cept winning..romney is an evil person."

Newark mayor Cory Booker, who was flayed by the Left and referred to as "dead" by members of the Obama Administration after he defended Mitt Romney from attacks on his Bain capital record, is feuding with the Left again - this time over their lack of civility.

CNN has, in their usual fashion, patronized rural America once more.

In their coverage of the Shiner, Texas case where a rancher found a man attempting to sexually molest the rancher's four-year-old daughter and beat the molester to death with his bare hands, CNN couldn't resist the opportunity to lampoon such primitive behavior.

MSNBC's Bigot Squad Attacks Mormonism

On MSNBC's "Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell," O'Donnell stated of Mormonism and Mitt Romney: "Mormonism was created by a guy in Upstate New York in 1830 when he got caught having sex with the maid and explained to his wife that God told him to do it."

Notwithstanding the fact that O'Donnell is an unhinged leftist, would MSNBC tolerate such open bigotry? Of course they would. Try Chris Matthews on Christianity, circa 2009: "The group in this country that most resembles the Taliban, ironically, is the religious right."

Al Sharpton wants to have it both ways: he wants to be both a journalist and an activist. And MSNBC's President Phil Griffin apparently wants that, too.

Sharpton's MSNBC show, PoliticsNation, featured him interviewing Trayvon Martin's father. "We want you to know, Mr. Martin that you're not alone," said Sharpton, "and I don't believe in drive-by activism, and we will be there until it's resolved ..." No surprise there. Has Sharpton ever passed up an opportunity for rabble-rousing?

On Friday night, a young African-American teenager, Trayvon Martin, was shot to death in Orlando by a neighborhood watch captain, George Zimmerman. The media immediately portrayed the death as a case of white on black racism.

CBS News, on its Crimesider website, immediately called Zimmerman a "white neighborhood watch volunteer." Martin's parents accused the police of racism for not arresting Zimmerman. There's only one problem: Zimmerman is Hispanic.

As the left and President Obama have so graciously pointed out, civility is essential to our national discourse. At a press conference in February 2009, Obama said: "I think that, over time, people respond to civility and--and rational argument."

He reaffirmed his commitment to civility by his pointed statements after Rush Limbaugh's comments regarding Sandra Fluke. Yet the left is not immune from incivility. In fact, the left is significantly more uncivil on a regular basis than the right. As our star defendant, we bring you the man who gets a tingle up his leg when Barack Obama speaks: MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

Recordings Show Police Conspiracy, Man Says

Graphic recordings prove that a Montana man was sentenced to life in prison for a murder he didn't commit, after police knowingly withheld exonerating evidence, the man, acquitted on retrial, claims in Federal Court.

In 2010, more than a year after the Sublette County (Wyo.) Sheriff's Office resurrected an investigation from its cold-case files, a jury convicted Troy Willoughby for the 1984 murder of Lisa Ehlers. The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed his conviction and sentence in June 2011. Willoughby sued Randall Hanson, a former investigator for the Sublette County Attorney's Office; former sheriff's Capt. Brian Ketterhagen; and sheriff's Deputy Sarah Brew. They are the only defendants. Willoughby sued them all in their individual capacity.

Unequal Harm: Racial Disparities in the Employment Consequences of Minimum Wage Increases

May 11, 2011

When the Great Recession's negative effect on the U.S. labor market was strongest, the national unemployment rate stood at 10.1 percent-a depth last seen in June 1983.

But the greatest amount of pain was felt by younger and more vulnerable workers-though not in equal amounts. For instance, the unemployment rate for 16-to-19 year-olds reached 27.1 per-cent at the recession's trough. For white teens, the figure was 25 percent; for black teens, it was close to 50 percent. These staggering racial disparities in employment among young adults are nothing new. They've existed as far back as the early 1950s, when the federal government first started tracking these figures. A wide body of academic literature explores the reasons for this gap, but few studies have explicitly studied the effect of labor market wage mandates on minority groups, in part because of the lack of sufficiently comprehensive data. In this new study, labor economists William Even (Miami University) and David Macpherson (Trinity University) overcome this problem by amassing a data set from the years 1994 to 2010 that includes over 600,000 data observations-including a robust sample of minority young adults unprecedented in previous studies on the minimum wage.

ObamaCare: The Plan Is to Transition to "Single-Payer" Socialized Medicine

November 8, 2013

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the Democratic Socialists of America are planning to transform ObamaCare into single-payer socialized medicine.

It may be one of the very few things that Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, Left and Right can agree on: ObamaCare has been an embarrassing series of rolling disasters since it stumbled out of the starting gate on October 1. From the non-functional Healthcare.gov website fiasco to the cancellation of millions (soon to be tens of millions) of existing health insurance policies to the heart-stopping sticker shock on replacement policies, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has drawn brickbats from critics all across the political spectrum. However, while disapproval of ObamaCare is very widespread, the critic camps are poles apart concerning what should be done. According to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the Democratic Socialists of America, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and other leading lights of the far Left, the real problem with ObamaCare is that it does not go far enough; the "solution," they say, is to go all the way to socialized medicine. But they don't have the conviction and courage to be that honest, so they say we must resurrect the "single payer/public option" alternative that was defeated during the 2009-2010 battle over ObamaCare in Congress. For millions of Americans, the terms "single payer" and "public option" do not carry the same negative connotations as "socialized medicine," which, of course, is why they were adopted as code words.
