People For The American Way (PFAW), a progressive advocacy group, sent an email to their subscribers list Wednesday attacking three judicial nominees ten hours after House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was shot practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. The advocacy organization, which describes its vision as one in which everyone is “encouraged to participate in our nation’s civic and political life,” denounced John K. Bush, Damien Schiff, and Kevin Newsom on the basis of blogs and statements they made espousing conservative ideals. The three nominees, who liberal organization have scrutinized for their past statements and writing, were considered by...

It won't shock AT readers to learn that the Left is deceitful, but here's another piece of evidence: a fundraising letter from Ralph Neas's People for the American Way (PAW) arrived in the mail today. The outside of the envelope and the letter inside display a large photo identified as "Demonstrators at Presidential Inauguration." The signs held by these "demonstrators" read: "God Hates Obama," "Fags Love Obama," and "Hell to the Chief." Anyone paying the slightest attention knows that signs with the word "fag" and "God hates..." most likely originate from the despicable Westboro Baptist Church, and sure enough, a...

What is this about? New to me. Any more insight on it? PAW (which I despise) posts this without any explanation.

Could this cast be more hard evidence of the existence of the Chase Beast? Obtained by the Post from a secret location in the borough it clearly shows the paw print of a large mammal. Spanning over four inches in diameter, the plaster cast backs up reports we have received from over a dozen locals who claim to have seen a big cat roaming the streets and fields. In July this year golfers Ray Bright and Danny Adams photographed a huge pawprint they discovered at a nearby golf club. And eyewitness accounts of encounters with the big cat have continued...

Among the items in Norman Hsu's personal collection of Clinton memorabilia: CDs of presentations made by Hillary Clinton as well as an envelope of thank-you notes from the Democratic presidential front-runner... One envelope was devoted to letters from New York Sen. Clinton, thanking Mr. Hsu, who was one of her biggest fund-raisers. The Clinton campaign has said it would return to donors the money Mr. Hsu helped raise. Mr. Hsu had several CDs and a video of Mrs. Clinton giving presentations in New York. Another CD was entitled "Merle Haggard Hillary." Mr. Haggard wrote a song for Sen. Clinton earlier...

Flip Pidot, the go-to-guy on the Hsu scandal, notices that Winkle Paw seems to have vanished. Paw, as you may recall, is a close business associate of Norman Hsu and fellow big-bucks contributor to Democrats. "Paw has served as everything from project analyst to CEO at a handful of Hsu's companies, including Components, Ltd., Next Components, Next Electronics, and CoolPowers (though that last one could've been a poor transcription of the word ‘Components' by a Tom Harkin campaign staffer)." A pretty important potential witness in case with great importance. But apparently he was not being sought. Flip continues: "We also...

Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was taken into federal custody Thursday night at St. Mary’s Hospital after he fell ill on an Amtrak train passing through Grand Junction. FBI agents took Yung Yuen “Norman” Hsu, 56, into custody around 7 p.m. at St. Mary’s Hospital FBI, spokesman Joseph Schadler said in a statement. Hsu had been sought since Wednesday, when he failed to appear in a San Mateo County, Calif., Superior Court. Hsu was traveling on an Amtrak train when he became ill. Amtrak personnel called an ambulance when the train stopped in Grand Junction. Grand Junction paramedics were summoned to...

SAN FRANCISCO (Sept. 7) - Disgraced Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu was arrested after the Hong Kong native failed to show up for a court appearance related to a felony theft conviction.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and other prominent Democrats scrambled to unload thousands of dollars of contributions from one of the party's leading fund-raisers, amid questions about his ...techniques and news [of] a warrant for his arrest... Election-law experts said the pattern raises red flags that justify a probe into whether the wealthy Mr. Hsu was improperly reimbursing the others for their donations... Beyond his $23,000 in personal contributions to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Hsu had raised well over $1 million for the New York senator's presidential campaign, making him one of her top 20 "bundlers." ...[and] hundreds of thousands of dollars...

From public real eastate records, here is the story on the little lime green bungalow of the Paw Family, who have given over $200,000 in total over the past several years to various Democrat candidates, committees etc. As we all now have heard, major Hillary donor, and HillRaiser, William Hsu, has emerged as perhaps having given tons more cash than the law allows, through the use of what is being alleged to be "straw men" in the form of the Paw Family, residents of a little lime green bungalow in Daly City, California, in the flight path of San Francisco...

The Clinton campaign said today that it saw no reason to return donations from two major campaign contributors whose donations, according to the Wall Street Journal, closely track one another. The Journal reported that a total of $200,000 in donations to Democratic committees and candidates from the Paw family of Daley City, Calif., and those of Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessmen who is a major Democratic donor and Clinton fund-raiser, had sometimes taken place about the same time. The article also said the Paw family lived in a modest house and raised questions about their ability to make...

One need look no further than today's Wall Street Journal to figure out why the left has been so adamantly opposed to its sale to Rupert Murdoch. The Wall Street Journal has had the audacity, the effrontery, to challenge, actually challenge, one of the left's most cherished shibboleths: Queen Hillary. Doing what 'mainstream' journalists have failed to do for, oh, the last ten years or so (except when a Republican is president), the WSJ today put the 'investigate' back in 'investigative journalism.' Following up on records of campaign donations with the FEC, the WSJ stumbled across something odd. The Paw...

DALY CITY, Calif. -- One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport. Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show. That total ranks the...

Alec "the Bloviator" Baldwin has a new bosom buddy: Beltway Republican strategist Grover Norquist. The Bush-bashing actor-turned-activist and the Muslim vote-courting political organizer joined together at a Washington, D.C.-area conference last weekend to perpetuate bald lies about the Patriot Act and to oppose the "repressive" War on Terror (repressing terrorist suspects apparently being a bad thing). Baldwin and Norquist's panel, titled "Strange Bedfellows," was sponsored by the ultraliberal group People For the American Way. When PFAW head and panel participant Ralph Neas ranted about the lack of judicial and congressional oversight of the Justice Department's terror investigations, the audience...

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special. . The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington. Regardless of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was...

People for American Way Leads ‘Stop Alito’ A familiar liberal group has launched another campaign to "save the courts,” this time, from Supreme Court Nominee Sam Alito. People for the American Way began a targeted, national TV campaign Sunday during NBC’s "Meet The Press” with a commercial "to help tell all Americans that Samuel Alito is part of the radical right's dream team.” Sounds good so far. According to a fundraising e-mail received by NewsMax, the group views the Alito nomination as a critical step in regaining a mainstream – read: liberal – agenda for America. "We cannot let the...

Washington, DC - Democratic Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today announcing the launch of his new website - A Word to the Faithful: ”As Democratic Leader, I’ve made outreach to the faith community a top priority and have had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of many faiths. I’ve talked with Protestant ministers about the immorality of a budget that cuts programs for the neediest among us while rewarding those with the most. I’ve discussed immigration and poverty with Catholic Bishops, and I’ve met with Jewish leaders to discuss ways we can help hardworking families across this...
