The shameless media manipulators at the DNC have a new campaign designed to promote Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court. As with previous campaigns, the “Kagan for Justice Action Center” is run via a special website set up by Organizing for America. It encourages people to write letters to the editors of newspapers nationwide (And we can presume that, as before, local newspapers will publish DNC talking points without realizing it).

What’s new is that the DNC is now branching out to Astroturf talk radio as well. Here’s how the page looks on their website:

As you can see, the first person that came up when I visited was Sean Hannity. However there are more than two dozen shows that you can call by clicking the “Find another show” button. The list includes nearly all of the right’s top talkers: Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Michael Medved, Michael Savage and Hugh Hewitt. Notably absent: Rush Limbaugh. (more…)

What could be more fun than watching the humorless nags of the Left consistently walk into the business end of the same half-open door time and time again and pick up a fresh shiner? Because they can’t help but project their own congenital guilt, rage and misery on everyone else, they’re absolutely sure of two things:

1) Everything is a conspiracy directed against them and the moral high horses they rode in on, and –

2) There’s always a hidden subtext, usually either racist, sexist or homophobic, lurking beneath the Right’s every thought, word and deed.

Which is why they went prematurely bananas over the Tim Tebow/Focus on the Family ads that played yesterday during the Super Bowl pre-game show and during the game itself.  In case you missed them, here they are:

Watch ad #2 after the jump: (more…)

During today’s Super Bowl, football fans will see a thirty-second commercial depicting Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and his mother expressing gratitude that, 23 years ago, Mrs. Tebow chose not to abort Tim when she was pregnant and advised to do so by her doctors.  The ad will cost about $3 million for its sponsor, the religious group Focus on the Family.

The ad has evoked angry criticism primarily from anachronistic feminists (and, inexplicably, a few homosexual groups) who, I’ll wager, don’t even watch much football regularly much less tune in the Super Bowl.  Nevertheless, these graying feminists have exploded in fury at Mrs. Tebow expressing joy for the life of her son – my son the college student, my son the Heisman Trophy winner.  But why express such anger and venom at a mother’s pride?

If I were to guess, the reason is that these “aborto-fanatics” (my term) cannot respond in kind.  Focus on the Family shows the triumph of choosing life.  How Mrs. Tebow’s choice made a “we” out of “me.”  What can NOW show?  What proud accomplishments can NARAL highlight?  A massive body count and the millions it has paid the abortion industry.

The NFL is having a backwards week. The Pro Bowl is being played before the Super Bowl.  And instead of commercials featuring cute monkeys, frustrated cavemen and talking babies being the most popular water cooler topics on the Monday morning after the game, it’s a yet-to-air Super Bowl commercial garnering all the attention and discussion in the week leading up to kickoff.

In case somehow you haven’t heard, the University of Florida National Champion quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and NFL draft hopeful Tim Tebow is going to be featured, along with his mom, in a pro-life spot sponsored by James Dobson’s conservative Focus on the Family.

Even though nobody outside of CBS and Focus on the Family has actually seen the spot, conservatives are thrilled someone is taking a pro-life stand on the biggest world stage. Liberals are livid – Gloria Allred has already threatened a lawsuit against CBS – and pro-choice activists are calling for the ad to be yanked.

If one of my clients wanted to do this spot, I’m not sure how quickly and in how many languages I’d be able to say “no.” (more…)

Pro-abort blogger Jenna Henry Hansen at the Huffington Post is typical of many in her dwindling tribe who feel the need to add this caveat when discussing abortion:

Every time I discuss abortion I find it necessary to mention that pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. A person identifying her or his self as pro-choice supports a woman’s right to choose whether or not to be a parent at that time.

Were that statement actually true, a pro-abort would spend 50% of his or her time supporting the sanctity of preborn human life and 50% supporting the killing of preborn human life.

Of course, that’s not what happens. And I don’t know why pro-aborts are so defensive about it. Abortion kills a blob of tissue at worst or a parasite at best, so they say; big deal. The fact is that pro-aborts abhor any and all support of preborn human life.  That includes conversations… for even 30 seconds. (more…)

Tim Tebow and his mom, Pam, are going to be in a Super Bowl ad. For those who aren’t college football fans, Tebow is the quarterback for the University of Florida Gators. He was the first underclassman to win the Heisman Trophy and led the Gators to two BCS championships. He’s also headed to the NFL draft, where he’s likely to be the top quarterback pick.

All right, you say, so a college football star is going to be in a Super Bowl ad. Big deal. But wait! The ad was purchased by the dreaded Dr. James Dobson’s pro-life  Focus On the Family! And Tim’s mom will discuss her decision not to abort Tim when he was in her womb. (more…)
