Townhall, by Ann Coulter Posted By: KarenJ1- Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:57:59 GMT The two main points being made by Democrats in support of Elena Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court merely serve to remind us that Democrats are inveterate liars. First, it has been repeatedly observed how wonderful it is that Ms. Kagan is "someone who's an intellectual heavyweight who's going to give Roberts a run for the money" '' as Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D'Minn., put it. Whew! Good thing the Democrats got that Hispanic nominee out of the way, so they could appoint somebody with intellectual heft! Hey! What happened to the "wise Latina"? At least now you know what

NewsBusters, by Katie Bell Posted By: KarenJ1- Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:53:30 GMT The "struggle" illegal immigrants face as they seek the same benefits and services afforded to U.S. citizens is the same that faced civil right activists in the middle of the 20th century, according to the Associated Press. "Students fighting laws that target illegal immigrants are taking a page from the civil rights era," reporter Rusell Contreras wrote, "adopting tactics and gathering praise and momentum from the demonstrators who marched in the streets and sat at segregated lunch counters as they sought to turn the public tide against racial segregation." Contreras cited several illegal immigrant activists comparing themselves to protestors.

NewsBusters, by Scott Whitlock Posted By: KarenJ1- Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:42:45 GMT Appearing with Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday, liberal journalist Maureen Dowd derided Barack Obama as "think'skinned" and not happy with media coverage. This prompted Stephanopoulos to admit, "And his press hasn't been nearly as bad as he thinks." Dowd prefaced her critique by analyzing Obama's self image: "...I cut him a lot of slack here, because many presidents like JFK and W have rich daddies. And so, they have a lot of confidence.

Chicago Tribune, by Rob Manker Posted By: brianod1- Wed, 30 Jun 2010 23:42:40 GMT Eureka! She misplaced it. For the second time in recent months, a celebrity has royally goofed when speaking of colleges or universities with Illinois ties. First it was "Today" show anchor Ann Curry delivering the commencement address May 22 at Wheaton College in Norton, Mass. When mentioning several of the school's distinguished alumni, she instead rattled off graduates of the Wheaton College located 25 miles west of Chicago. Oops. Now, it's Sarah Palin who, speaking at a fundraiser at Cal State'Stanislaus on Friday, inadvertently relocated the alma mater of President Ronald Reagan Staff added text
