CNN panelist Tom Fuentes has already pinned the tragic shooting San Bernardino shooting on anti-government militias. Police have no suspects and no motive for the shooting. Even if he turns out to be correct, doesn't it seem just a little irresponsible to place blame so soon? CNN pundit already blaming anti-government militias for CA shooting

I LOVE Tom Fuentes! He’s been a one-man wrecking ball through the race narrative by tirelessly appearing on as many shows as possible. In this interview he really sticks it to the black community leaders in Baltimore for basically advocating anarchy. Watch below:

For more than 24-hours, CNN has been regularly playing a clip of audio which purports to reveal the exact moment when 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson. Each time it was played, the CNN anchors and hosts noted that the sound could not be independently verified by the network, but it was just too good to wait to play it for viewers. CNN’s ratings have been phenomenal since the violence in Ferguson erupted, and the network has displayed a tendency in the past to latch onto any development no matter how dubious that keeps a ratings-grabbing story...

The New Majority Committee burst onto the scene five years ago with a flurry of political gunfire and a manifesto calling for reform of the county Republican Party. A civil war erupted, with the millionaires of the New Majority funding a $300,000 takeover attempt and the GOP establishment turning from battles with Democrats to fend off the insurgency. Today when the former combatants meet, you can practically hear strains of "Kumbaya" wafting in the air. The New Majority's drive to bring an abortion-rights, pro-gun control, pro-minority faction into the party has lost its aggressive, strident tone - to the point...

As the chair of Orange County’s Republican Party from 1984 until last year, Tom Fuentes distinguished himself by waging vindicative, sometimes bizarre campaigns against enemies real and perceived. As a trustee for the South Orange County Community College District (SOCCCD), Fuentes continues his GOP battle plan by launching a campaign against . . . Spain?! Sí: España. Fuentes unveiled his new crusade at the Feb. 28 SOCCCD Board of Trustees meeting, when he requested a discussion on Item 10 from the night’s consent calendar. The item would have allowed Saddleback College students to study abroad in Santander, Spain, during the...

The Republican left Posted: April 8, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern © 2004 Newspaper Enterprise Assn. "In politics," Richard Nixon once astutely observed, "no victory is ever complete." No matter how overwhelming the national landslide racked up by one party, some particularly obnoxious representative of the defeated party will always ruin the victor's day by winning his or her personal re-election. And, within each party, there will always be those who insist on behaving as much like members of the other party as possible. Thus, the Democrats have to live with the fact that Zell Miller is a Democratic senator from Georgia, even though...

by John Gizzi Posted Mar 30, 2004 Orange County Republican Chairman Tom Fuentes, dean of party leaders in the Golden State's 58 counties, is retiring after a record 20 years of service. Fuentes became chairman in 1984 at age 35. A successful businessman in the civil engineering field, he used his private-sector management skills to rebuild a party that had been living a "hand-to-mouth" existence. Today, it boasts a full-time staff and headquarters, and a bi-annual budget of $1 million. Fuentes also led the party in dealing with Orange County's demographic changes. As Democrats began making inroads in a region...

<p>"Free at last, free at last, thank God, I'm free at last." Fuentes, who ably guided the party's membership drives, voting efforts and fund-raising activities since 1984, has plenty to do now that this volunteer job is over.
