MSNBC commentator and “Hardball” host Chris Matthews already made the Red Alert Politics ’Liar of Year’ finalist list, and with good reason — he likes to spew onto TV whatever bizarre and unfounded opinions he holds. Yet, ironically enough, Matthews opened his show on Wednesday night by criticizing the mainstream media for ignoring the facts in regard to the Romney campaign and the GOP.
Matthews accused the press of “pushing balance at the expense of the obvious facts,” saying they overlooked the fact that Republicans were to the “far to the right of anything we’ve seen from that party, ever.”
Following a fainting incident and subsequent concussion, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will not testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday regarding the Benghazi attacks, a Senate aide told POLITICO.
Though the faint happened earlier this week, the office of Sen. John Kerry, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman, and the press were not notified of the incident until Saturday, POLITICO reports.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fainted and suffered a concussion, the department said Saturday. She is now recovering at home.
“While suffering from a stomach virus, Secretary Clinton became dehydrated and fainted, sustaining a concussion,” deputy assistant secretary Philippe Reines said in a statement.

LANSING — A speaker at a union protest against right-to-work legislation said if Gov. Rick Snyder signed the bill he would get “no rest” and that protesters would be at his ”daughter’s soccer game.” (Video below).
The Rev. Charles Williams II made the comments Tuesday to loud cheers before a group of thousands of union workers. After his promises to harass Gov. Snyder, he introduced Rep. Richard Hammel, D-Mt. Morris Township, and House Minority Leader Tim Greimel, D-Auburn Hills. Williams is a Detroit-area pastor and left-wing activist.

Here we go again. The left, which was so fond of reminding Americans how terrible it was to “politicize a tragedy” just a few months ago, has predictably moved quickly to capitalize on an absolutely horrific mass-shooting at a grade school in Connecticut. Within hours of the appalling news, gun control rallies were held outside of the White House, the media was calling for tougher laws, and liberals were demonizing the NRA.
Although the shooter, who was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, has miraculously avoided any fault for his evil acts by much of the punditry, it’s probably only a matter of time before specific Republicans are identified as particularly blameworthy (perhaps Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush, or the Tea Party).
The United States should consider automatically registering voters, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday at an event at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston. which uproots the notion of responsibility integral to the electoral process.
Holder’s statements ignore the foundation of effective democracy: active and thoughtful citizen engagement.
On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) accidentally drew back the curtain on fabricated tales of Republican obstructionism and revealed the dark secret of Democrats who have been promoting “gridlock” in the U.S. Senate for nearly a full four years. It happened so quickly anyone who blinked missed it.
Upon filing for Senate consideration of the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) Act, Sen. Reid immediately “filled the tree” by offering the maximum amount of amendments permitted under the rules and filed cloture on the bill before any other Senator could speak, offer debate or filibuster the bill.
President Obama says recreational users of marijuana in states that have legalized the substance should not be a “top priority” of federal law enforcement officials prosecuting the war on drugs.
“We’ve got bigger fish to fry,” Obama said of pot users in Colorado and Washington during an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Barbara Walters.
“It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as going after recreational users in states that have determined that it’s legal,” he said, invoking the same approach taken toward users of medicinal marijuana in 18 states where it’s legal.
Some call it the Edifice Complex. Others have named it the Law of More, or the Taj Mahal syndrome.
Ever since the assault on Fox News Contributor Steven Crowder at the hands of a a group of out-of-control union members protesting right-to-work legislation at the Michigan capitol Tuesday, Crowder, who we profiled for Red Alert’s inaugural ”30 Under 30″ list earlier this year, has been taking heat from the Left for the way he edited the video showing the assault. Crowder’s video of his brutal attack is being likened to conservative activist James O’Keefe’s selective editing of his investigative reporting videos, despite the fact that Crowder has no history of pulling stunts like that.
Crowder has also received criticism, including from conservatives, for putting himself in the dangerous situation in the first place and for purposefully provoking the the already fervent crowd.
