Let me put it bluntly: If she didn’t come out loudly against Sarah Palin she would not have won this award. Period!

DaTechGuy April 12, 2010 on Kathleen Parker winning the Pulitzer Prize

If Barney Frank was a conservative, Jason Mattera would be celebrating a Pulitzer win today.

Paraphrase of Rush Limbaugh April 13, 2010, Heard by me in the car on the way home today during the first half hour of the show. Since I was not recording I put “paraphrase” in the front in case I got the exact wording wrong.

And Parker is as I tweeted this morning admitting it as well:

I suspect if I changed sides I would have a job in a second.

It’s nice to see the AP Prove me wrong…

…about this:

Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.

Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.

The fact that it is reported at all is promising. The question becomes will this become widely reported or even discussed in the MSM. Lets see what happens. I’ll have my camera tomorrow.

Bash Palin win a pulitizer…

…hey it worked for Kathleen Parker.

Kathryn Jean Lopez is very generous:

I know she has been unfair to conservatives — and the truth — at times. But she has also been open to us and it. She has a perch at the Washington Post that she has undeniably used to highlight issues and views that wouldn’t otherwise get attention there.

Let me put it bluntly: If she didn’t come out loudly against Sarah Palin she would not have won this award. Period!

That’s the way it is and the willingness to accept a crumb or two doesn’t change it.

In fairness to Lopez your friends are your friends no matter what their political opinions and she is right to be happy for her.

If When the media ignores this forewarning…

…and decides to report the Tea Party events as a racistbigothomophobenaziviolent mob, reference this post at Michelle’s and keep it in mind.

MSNBC has already spent a week promoting a special on Tim McVeigh where Maddow is going to try to paint the tea parties with that brush, be ready for more of the same.

As Glenn has said BRING YOUR CAMERAS!

Update: I’m as optimistic that the media will be covering this stuff as the Lonely conservative is about them covering this stuff.
