Hunger Games : Tea Party or Liberal Message?

It's everybody's call

(NEWSER) - Opposite ends of the political spectrum are claiming the blockbuster Hunger Games as their own. Is it a tale of too much government or of gun-packing capitalists who don't believe in social services? The dystopian story tells of dictatorial President Snow forcing conquered people to offer their children annually for fight-to-the death hunger games that provide "entertainment" to the masses. Protagonist Katniss Everdeen participates to save her family. "Because it’s an allegory, people can read into the movie whatever they please," Entertainment Tonight movie critic Leonard Martin tells the New York Daily News . And that's exactly what's happening.

Stewart Blasts Rove's 'Foreign Donor' Hypocrisy

Conservatives are not above fear-mongering, he says

(NEWSER) - Karl Rove and Fox News are outraged— outraged! —that the Democrats are running ads suggesting that GOP-backed groups take "secret foreign money." "Have these people no shame?" Rove asks. Right, jokes Jon Stewart on the Daily Show , because conservatives would never spread rumors about shadowy foreign funds ... oh wait, yes they would. Remember the ground zero mosque debacle? Watch and laugh. (And click here for more from the Daily Show.) More»

Ann Coulter: Liberals Pissed Obama Isn't the Tooth Fairy

They feel betrayed because he can't fix things with magic

(NEWSER) - Ann Coulter is relishing the new line of attack on President Obama from the left. She told Bill O'Reilly last night that liberals are outraged because they viewed the president as the "tooth fairy or Santa Claus," someone who can magically fix things, reports Mediaite . “Reality betrays children constantly,” she said. “He can't stop this spill, and they are enraged." Oh, and she loves Alvin Greene as a Democratic candidate, she writes at Townhall.com . More»

Left Plays 'Violence Card' to Demonize Us: Limbaugh

Obama 'makes us look evil as he tightens iron grip'

(NEWSER) - When liberals aim to discredit right-wingers, they accuse them of plotting violence, complains Rush Limbaugh. The current "meme to equate skepticism of the Obama administration with a tendency toward violence" is just like former President Clinton blaming "loud and angry" conservative commentators for the Oklahoma bombing, he writes in the Wall Street Journal. "What self-serving nonsense." Liberals "are perfectly comfortable with anti-government protest when they're not in power," he adds. Anger is "in their DNA." More»

Breitbart Blasts Maddow on ACORN Filmmaker

Rips MSNBC host for slandering O'Keefe in 'propaganda campaign'

(NEWSER) - Conservative media entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart lashed out at Rachel Maddow yesterday, branding the MSNBC host intellectually dishonest and slamming her politics. Breitbart was particularly angry about Maddow's coverage of the man who created the ACORN pimp videos, James O’Keefe. Maddow and the left “falsely framed" O'Keefe on the phone caper last month that was an attempted expose of Sen. Mary Landrieu, and let the real culprits the ACORN sting off the hook, he says. More»
