GOP Newsletter: 'Armed Revolution' if Obama Wins

Greene County Republican Committee editor writes controversial column

(NEWSER) - If President Obama wins re-election, Virginia’s Greene County Republican Committee—or at least one of its members—expects an “armed revolution.” The group’s March newsletter included a column from the editor, Ponch McPhee, in which he writes that Obama is an "ideologue unlike anything world history has ever witnessed or recognized," and Republicans will have no choice “but armed revolution should we fail with the power of the vote in November."

Liberals Are 'Bittersoft'

William Kristol coins a phrase, with help from President Obama

(NEWSER) - President Obama's recent comment that the nation "had gotten a little soft" reminded William Kristol of the time he said small-town Americans were "bitter" and clinging to guns and religion. "So, according to Obama, Americans are both bitter and soft," writes Kristol in the Weekly Standard . "We’re a bittersoft nation." But the president is wrong, he declares: It's only liberals who are bittersoft. More»

Asked at Town Hall: 'Who's Going to Shoot Obama?'

Georgia Rep. Paul Broun responds by citing frustration with president

(NEWSER) - At a town hall meeting hosted by a Georgia Rep. Paul Broun on Tuesday, the first question asked was, "Who is going to shoot Obama?" The question "got a big laugh," writes Blake Aued in the Athens Banner-Herald . But Rep. Paul Broun is catching some flak for what he did next: Respond, rather than condemn the question. "The thing is, I know there’s a lot of frustration with this president. We’re going to have an election next year. Hopefully, we’ll elect somebody that’s going to be a conservative, limited-government president." More»

Stimulus Gave $140M to Faith-Based Groups

It's one of the quieter aspects of the federal package

(NEWSER) - Conservatives slammed it as “anti-religious”—but in fact, some $140 million from President Obama’s stimulus package has gone to faith-based organizations. The money “kind of fell from the sky, and it was unbelievable,” says the head of a church-backed nonprofit. But the matter has gone under the radar, “perhaps because it cuts so sharply across the moment's intensely partisan narrative,” write Ben Smith and Byron Tau at Politico . More»

Don't Gloat Too Long, Conservatives

Nice work, but Democrats themselves and tea partiers deserve credit

(NEWSER) - William Kristol thinks Republicans and conservatives are entitled to celebrate over the current state of President Obama's agenda, "but only a little." After all, the bulk of the credit goes to Obama himself (his "big-government liberalism" united foes), Nancy Pelosi (for being "ideologically blinkered"), Harry Reid ("short-tempered" and "incompetent") and the tea partiers: "It’s this simple: No Tea Parties, no defeat of Obamacare."
