Ann Coulter

• Ann Coulter on Human Events: "Ironically, for all of their love of conspiracy theories -- the rigging of the 2000 election, vote suppression in Ohio in 2004, 9/11 being an inside job, oil companies covering up miracle technology that would allow cars to run on dirt, Britney Spears' career, etc., etc. -- when presented with an actual conspiracy of Soviet spies infiltrating the U.S. government, they laughed it off like world-weary skeptics and dedicated themselves to slandering Joe McCarthy."
  "Then as now, liberals protect themselves from detection with wild calumnies against anybody who opposes them. They have no interest in -- or aptitude for -- persuasion. Their goal is to anathematize their enemies. Blacklisted by History removes the curse from one of the greatest patriots in American history."

Rush Limbaugh

• Why Rush is Wrong, Signed Liberal Media [10]
• Conservapedia traffic surpasses Rush Limbaugh's site! (March 14, 2007) See Alexa Traffic Rankings.
• More evidence that Wikipedia allows (if not encourages) smears, libel, and general misinformation and bias in its articles:

  ...somebody from a computer traced to Democrat HQ edited a page on conservative American radio host Rush Limbaugh, calling him "idiotic", "ridiculous" and labeling his 20 million listeners as "legally retarded." [11]

• Rush-Dumping Proves Disastrous For Baltimore Talker. Baltimore's radio station, WBAL- AM foolishly purged Rush Limbaugh from its schedule just over a year ago. WBAL basically handed the talk titan to their competitor. The longtime market leader immediately began a ratings slide that shows no signs of easing up. The Radio Equalizer [12]
• Where's the Freedom of Speech? The Conservative Voice

  Conservative speakers on American universities need security and often come under physical attack from the mentally unhinged mobs of the left." "Then there's talk radio, and more specifically Rush Limbaugh." "So if they can't get rid of one man why not get rid of all talk radio. Not only will they finally get rid of Rush Limbaugh, they will get Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, and all the others by bringing back the 'Fairness Doctrine' which is fair only to the left.

• Senator Harry Reid's intimidating letter to Rush Limbaugh's patrons at Clear Channel Communications fetches more than $2 million at public auction. Official auction listing at eBay. Update: Senator Reid is now trying to claim credit for the phenomenal success of the auction. Rush Limbaugh reminds everyone of Reid's vitriolic and un-Senatorial language on the Senate floor prior to his sending of his letter to Mr. Mays. Watch the video of Reid's remarks to the Senate today (October 19, 2007).
• Congressman Henry Waxman now publicly denies the report in The American Spectator saying that he has opened an investigation of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. The Spectator stands by its story. WorldNetDaily. [13] :Update: Heard on Rush Limbaugh's radio program: R. Emmett Tyrell, editor and publisher of The American Spectator, tells Rush's guest host that Henry Waxman's staff have been urging his constituents to place crank calls to the offices of the Spectator. In the face of this "harassment," Tyrell refuses to retract his story. He also asserts that Waxman has in fact changed his story in that he first complained of "misrepresentation" before denying the report completely.
• Rush Limbaugh loses a radio station--and then gets it back the next day. WorldNetDaily. [14]

• Conservapedia surpasses Rush Limbaugh in traffic. (November 28, 2007) [15]

Phyllis Schlafly

• Phyllis Schlafly's Advice to College Students: Don't Major in English [16]
  English departments are the most radicalized of all departments, more so than sociology, psychology, anthropology, or even women's studies.
• Conservapedia was at Columbia University in New York to hear Phyllis Schlafly speak on Conservatism, the ERA and feminism. (Administrators in attendance included Aschlafly, User:CPWebmaster and two others.)

Phyllis Schlafly spoke at Columbia University to around 60 students, responding to questions from a liberal moderator; then she took questions from the audience. She started the Conservative movement with study groups when no one but Barry Goldwater was willing to call themselves a conservative. Getting him nominated to the Republican ticket is what brought about her first book. "Politics is a lot of tedious work, but conventions are fun." A book by an unknown Illinois housewife sold 3 million copies. This in an age of "me too" Republicans, what we call nowadays RINO (Republicans In Name Only). She spoke against women in the military and gender norming. She said ERA would remove laws that protect women. She pointed out that "what women want" is not the same as what feminists want, e.g., abortion, ERA, gay rights, and universal daycare. She spoke against the idea that women are oppressed by this patriarchal society (mothers are expected to look after their babies) and that government should take this burden off their back. She spoke of the change in the feminist movement when it embraced "the lesbians", to embarrassed student laughter. She spoke against gay marriage, pointing out its obvious (but denied) connection to ERA. She spoke against Ruth Bader Ginsburg's "wrong point of view" (her equality principle) by which she opposes the Mann Act but supports co-ed prisons; Ginsburg hates the word "dependent", which informs the Social Security system: a retired man's dependent wife gets 50% while he lives, then 100% on his death.She denied the social construct view of sex differences, mentioning John Stossel's reports on the intrinsic differences between boys and girls, men and women. Columbia University students were a class act, complimenting the speaker despite some fundamental disagreements. The students enjoyed several laughs with the speaker, such as this exchange: Student question: "Do you think a woman can be President? Answer: Yes, Margaret Thatcher was a fine leader. But it has to be the right woman. She has to be likable!"

• Professor values: "Wearing white armbands, Washington University faculty and students staged a silent protest as conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly was awarded an honorary degree."[17]
• Congratulations to "Dr." Phyllis Schlafly. She said about the disrespectful liberals, "I'm not sure they're mature enough to graduate." Schlafly also "expressed some disappointment that Chancellor Mark Wrighton did not mention homemaker in his list of some of the career paths students were embarking on." [18]
• One University Rebels Against Political Correctness [19]
  

This graduation season Washington University stands out as a sign of hope and rebellion against the traditional political correctness that dominates the selection process. Washington University decided to award Phyllis Schlafly an honorary doctorate of humane letters earlier this May.

• Laura Ingraham interviews a liberal who protested giving an honorary degree to Phyllis Schlafly:

LAURA INGRAHAM: "...Which conservative, which prominent conservative do you think would deserve an honorary degree at Washington University? Why don't you name a few?" JILL STROMINGER, PROTESTER, WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: "Well, I absolutely think that's not the issue, Laura. ... Well, I mean, there are many fabulous choices, like Colin Powell [Note: Colin Powell is not a conservative] ... STROMINGER: "Laura, you're completely mischaracterizing, you know, what happened and what we were standing against, which is actually part of the reason that we chose to protest Schlafly. Our problem was less her specific viewpoints but more the way that she expresses herself. The way that she mischaracterizes her opponents and how her style of debate changed the debate in such a way that it led people to be oppressed." INGRAHAM: "Jill, do you or do you not believe in free speech on college campus?" STROMINGER: "I absolutely believe in free speech, but there's a difference."[20]

• Bigotry and Contempt at Taxpayer Expense [21]
  

The domestic violence industry in the United States cares only about breaking up families and vilifying men. Three years ago conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly excoriated the Violence Against Women Act as the "hate-men law."

• What's Happened to College History and English? Conservapedian Phyllis Schlafly recommends two college books and discusses these topics: Setting the McCarthy Record Straight, What's Happened to Shakespeare? and English at Virginia Tech [22]

"The Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium Goals of global governance and international taxes on Americans."

• Conservatives mourn the passing of former United States Representative Henry Hyde. [27].
• Mike Huckabee defends his record as a conservative:
  

"BLITZER (CNN): Phyllis Schlafly is critical of you and she's a conservative -- very conservative. You are being criticized by the conservatives, by the liberals, but she said this in The Wall Street Journal on Friday: "He destroyed the conservative movement in Arkansas and left the Republican Party a shambles, yet some of the same evangelicals who sold us on George W. Bush as a compassionate conservative are now trying to sell us on Mike Huckabee." Does she have a point as far as your record in Arkansas is concerned? HUCKABEE: You know, I love Phyllis Schlafly. In fact, her book, "It's a Choice, Not an Echo," was a great influence on me when I read it as a teenager. And I'm not going to say anything unkind about this lady who has been such a stalwart in the conservative movement. Rather than say, hey, you know, I think Phyllis is wrong, I think Phyllis has just been misinformed. Because she's a good and decent lady who is very principled.

But here's the fact. When I came into office as governor, we had 11 House members out of 100 who were Republican. By the time I left, we had had 30. We had appointees all over the place. We had elections that were won. My PAC that I established gave more money to Republican candidates in Arkansas than did the state party. You know, I worked hard for the party. It's a tough environment. I've been against the headwinds of a very tough, Clinton-led political machine in this state.

But you know what I've done that no other Republican running for president has done? I've beat that political machine of the Clintons, the Democrat Party, not once, not twice, not three times, but four times in statewide elections, something nobody else has been able to do.

The Clintons campaigned against me every time I ran, always cordially and respectfully, but they campaigned against me, and I still won in a state that is overwhelmingly, maybe outfitted, if you will, with Clintonistas."

• Law of the Sea Treaty would swamp U.S. legal system Phyllis Schlafly at Human Events [28]
  

"This case is dramatic proof of why the U.S. Senate should not ratify any more U.N. treaties that put U.S. law in the noose of foreign tribunals."

• Phyllis Schlafly is correct:
  
• The NEA Lists Its Goals And Democrats Agree. The Conservative Voice
  
• The Latest 'Major' Fad in Public Schools. Human Events [29]

Antonin Scalia

• Lawyer Orly Taitz, "I want to know if they will hear Quo Warranto and if they would hear it on original jurisdiction, if I bring Hawaii as an additional defendant to unseal the records and ascertain Obama's legitimacy for presidency." Scalia says it would be heard if she can get four people to hear it. He repeated, you need four for the argument.

• Liberals at the University of California, Davis, force the regents to rescind an invitation to Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard University, to speak at a board dinner Wednesday night in Sacramento.

1. 1. Smears in its entry on U.S. Congressman Steve LaTourette were totally false.[226]

This is a complete lie designed to smear a conservative group. But this was approved by Wikipedia and remained for over a month. [227]
   3. The latest casualty of false smears on Wikipedia: the Sydney Morning Herald(SMH). "Like Wikipedia itself, the SMH's story was riddled with inaccuracies." With respect to that storywriter's own entry, "Though Wikipedia's editors were alerted to its grossly inaccurate content some years ago, it remains grotesquely inaccurate." [228]
   4. The New York Times' computer system was the source of the pre-election smear on Republicans and Tom DeLay at Wikipedia, calling him the "Grand Dragon" of the Republican Party just prior to the November 2006 elections. How many other liberal smears of conservatives come from the New York Times?
   5. More evidence that Wikipedia allows (if not encourages) smears, libel, and general misinformation and bias in its articles:

      "...somebody from a computer traced to Democrat HQ edited a page on conservative American radio host Rush Limbaugh, calling him 'idiotic', 'ridiculous' and labeling his 20 million listeners as legally retarded.'" [229]

   6. its entry on liberal former Vice President Al Gore contains no mention of drug charges against his son, but its entry on conservative Vice President Dick Cheney prominently mentions his adult daughter's sexuality.[example #1]
   7. Wikipedia smears prominent Christian conservatives, including James Dobson and D. James Kennedy, with an allegation that they are part of a grand scheme Wikipedia calls "Dominionism"[example #3]
   8. Its last sentence on Human Life International claimed that a killer "confessed that pamphets (sic) from the group led" him to kill. This is a complete lie designed to smear a conservative group. But this was approved by Wikipedia and remained for over a month.[230]

• Nobel Prize proves its liberal bias: the winner is Al Gore!

The Nobel Prize Committee, which awarded terrorist and homicide bomber sponsor Yassir Arafat the Prize in 1994, has awarded Al Gore [279] the honors for 2007.

• The dishonest MSM is using the occasion to proclaim Gore's prize as yet another referendum on the 2000 election, and even U.S. Iraq policy! [280] Evidently the Nobel Committee didn't see the recent ruling by a United Kingdom judge, who said the film was riddled with inaccuracies. One of the problem areas included an assertion that the sea would rise up to 20 feet "in the near future" as ice in Greenland or Western Antarctica melts. The judge said this was an alarmist statement. He added that scientific consensus held that that kind of sea level rise would be possible if Greenland's ice melted, but that that melt would happen "after, and over, millennia". In what is a rare judicial ruling on what children can see in the class-room, Justice Barton was at pains to point out that the “apocalyptic vision” presented in the film was politically partisan and not an impartial analysis of the science of climate change. [281]This is more proof of Liberal Hysteria.

Michael Moore

• The case Michael Moore didn't show from Canada: Lindsay McCreith was told by his Canadian universal health care system that he had to wait 4 months for a simple MRI to determine if his brain tumor was benign or malignant. He traveled to Buffalo instead, had the MRI done quickly, found the malignancy, and had an operation to save his life. He'd be dead now if he stayed within his Canadian health care system. Now he's suing to end this injustice in the government-controlled system that Michael Moore praised. See here.
