Last November, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell proudly declared himself a socialist on national television. On Wednesday, "The Last Word" host took this a huge step further saying the whole idea that Americans are rugged individualists is an illusion because they're all really socialists (video follows with transcript and commentary): (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: From our first days as a nation, we have put our faith in free markets and free enterprise as the engine of America's wealth and prosperity. More than citizens of any other country, we are rugged individualists, a self-reliant people, with a healthy skepticism of too...

Democrats love Planned Parenthood so much they were willing to shut down the entire U.S. government over planned cuts to the organization. If given a choice, they would rather give taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood than pay the men and women who serve America's military. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid drew a line in the sand Friday morning while speaking from the floor of the United States Senate: “I’m not going to be part of that. I won’t do it,” he said about efforts to cut Planned Parenthood funding on the part of House Republicans. Nancy Pelosi claimed the GOP...

"I thought it would wane as he got older. It's not waning."

In discussing the present "kinetic military action" in Libya, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell and Contessa Brewer both tried to shift scrutiny away from President Obama and toward Republicans Monday afternoon, hours before the President's address to the nation on Libya. O'Donnell tried to pinpoint the hypocrisy of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for criticizing Obama's failure to obtain authorization from Congress for military action in Libya. The liberal MSNBC host referred back to a nonbinding Senate resolution passed unanimously on March 1, calling for the U.N. Security Council to implement a no-fly zone over Libya. Since the resolution passed unanimously,...

Former Senate candidate and tea party favorite Christine O’Donnell will not be donning a leotard anytime soon. The Republican announced Monday night that she has declined an invitation to samba with celebrities on “Dancing With the Stars.” The Delaware Republican said in a statement that she finds the ABC show to be “one of the few uplifting TV shows out there.” But she’s choosing instead to finish her book on the 2010 election cycle and her new political action committee

I think it fair to say that most Liberals consider themselves smarter than they consider Conservatives. Throughout our national dialogue in whichever venue if there is a Liberal verses a Conservative the Liberal will attempt to take the high ground by suggesting that his or her case is base on reason, science or the general good and wellbeing of all existence. All the while, the Liberal will assume the Conservative’s position is based on ignorance, hate and a general superiority complex with bigoted or xenophobic tendencies. Interestingly, it is the Left that often uses this type of stereotyping against the...

Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell says she's been invited to be a contestant on TV's "Dancing with the Stars." But the losing Senate candidate from Delaware isn't sure she should accept, saying she has two left feet and a book about politics to complete. The conservative Republican, who lost to a Democrat amid controversy over past statements about youthful dabbling in witchcraft, is soliciting opinions on her Facebook page. O'Donnell says her initial reaction was to say "no" to the show, but others are encouraging her to accept. O'Donnell writes she's flattered, but a 2-year-old nephew has more rhythm than...

Yeah, that's real bad. People who don't care about re-election when trying to clean up the mess in Washington.

Former Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has re-entered the headlines. The Delaware native has recently announced that she has signed a book deal after her defeat in the Senate race last year. In that election, Miss O'Donnell polled 40% in a largely blue state. O'Donnell gained much traction with many conservatives last year after Mark Levin and other radio hosts endorsed her over Representative Mike Castle for the nomination. The primary in September gained national attention and saw O'Donnell beating Castle 53-47%. Now O'Donnell is back in the spotlight, saying that the White House had pegged her as the number one...

In the wake of Monday's ruling by a Florida judge to toss out ObamaCare as a result of the individual mandate, MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell asked liberal constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley Tuesday if the Democrats made a mistake not writing a severability clause into the law. Turley surprisingly answered, "It was a colossal mistake"

Franks stays totally cool. It's great.

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (R) has officially filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to organize her own political action committee -- Christine PAC. The Tea Party favorite and Sarah Palin-backed candidate upset former Rep. Mike Castle (R) in Delaware's GOP Senate primary but lost to Democrat Chris Coons by 16 percentage points. Still, that loss hasn't deterred her, and she indicated last month she intended to remain active in politics and that she was moving ahead with her own PAC. In a letter to the FEC dated Jan. 3 and received on Jan. 14, her treasurer, Paul...

According to the Associated Press mistrust of government was Jared Loughner's defining conviction. Loughner’s friends said he believed the U.S. government was behind 9/11. Wait a minute. Then that would make Loughner a 9/11 truther. No way should a 9/11 truther be confused with the Tea Parties, Republicans or anyone on the Right. Those who really know Loughner best, contradict the Left wing Media and the Left wing Political narrative that want to use Loughner as a poster boy for violating the first and second amendments of the Constitution. Those who know him best, Zach Osler for instance tell just...

Nets Bolster Accusers of Christine O'Donnell, Ignore Liberal Nature of Watchdog CREW By: Brad Wilmouth Friday, December 31, 2010 As the broadcast network morning newscasts on Thursday each interviewed former Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell regarding allegations that she misused campaign money, in the setup piece on each network, the correspondent failed to inform viewers of credibility weaknesses on the part of O’Donnell’s accusers and omitted O’Donnell’s contention that she did not use campaign money to pay for rent on her home. Additionally, only CBS’s Jan Crawford informed viewers that the group pushing for an investigation - the Center...

Proving allegations against O'Donnell false, on March 20, 2009, Christine O'Donnell filed with the Federal Election Commission as a candidate for the US Senate race in 2010. Filling up a slow news week with fake news, the mainstream media fabricated a story about an unconfirmed supposed investigation of Christine O'Donnell's campaign finances. While one anonymous person claims to have been interviewed, other key (likely) witnesses deny having been contacted and official agencies refused to comment. The accusations were brought by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (C.R.E.W.). CNN reported on December 30, 2010, that for the first time...

Christine O’Donnell says Joe Biden is behind campaign fund misuse report. More specifically, O’Donnell is implying that Biden is sending the FBI after her in order to handle the alleged investigation that’s been started on her use of campaign contributions. Two days, ago the AP ran a story claiming O’Donnell was being criminally investigated, but O’Donnell herself has disproved that misleading report by asserting on the same day that no authorities ever contacted her regarding the AP story. Yesterday, O’Donnell fought back by pointing the finger at the vice president, saying that the whole rumor of a criminal investigation was...

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A person with knowledge of a federal campaign-finance investigation says a criminal probe has been opened into whether Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell broke the law by using campaign money to pay personal expenses. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the identity of a client who has been questioned in the probe.

Delaware's Republican Party Chair Tom Ross called it "A VERY UGLY TURN" when the Tea Party Express chose to support a conservative challenger to Sore Loser Republican Mike Castle. Tom Ross said on National Public Radio on September 8, 2010, TALK OF THE NATION: "Tea Party Sets Sights On Delaware" with JENNIFER LUDDEN, host: QUOTE: "But the campaign kind of took a very ugly turn about a week ago, when all of a sudden the Tea Party Express announced that they were going to get involved" UNQUOTE. Ross then quickly sought to intentionally blur the involvement of the Tea Party...

Democrats were apparently under-represented in Delaware’s US Senate race on November 2, 2010, according to CNN exit polls taken on election night. Voter registration for Delaware’s 2010 election totaled Democrats: 47 %. Republicans: 29.4%. “Other” & Independents: 23.5% (Voter registration closed on October 9, 2010. Registration totals are as of October 21, 2010.) http://elections.delaware.gov/services/candidate/regtotals.shtml However, actual voter turn out according to CNN’s exit poll was: Democrats: 44%. Republicans: 30%. “Other” & Independents: 27% http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/polls/#val=DES01p1 Thus Democrats were under-represented among the actual voters who turned out in the November 2 election. Only 44% of actual voters were Democrats although 47% of...
