| On Tuesday’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said that the Obama campaign’s “Big Bird” commercial is so bad that it will actually hurt President Barack Obama in November. “I hope they run it until the end of time,” Krauthammer said. “This could be the worst ad I’ve ever seen.” The 30-second spot takes aim at Romney for suggesting during last week’s presidential debate that federal funding for PBS, the network that produces “Sesame Street” and the character Big Bird, should be slashed.

Comments:
So is losing the confidence of Kirsten Powers sort of like losing that of Peggy Noonan, Joe Scarborough?
But it is a dumb ad.

Powers is one of the few PPH's* who are willing to apply logic to their thinking...pretty rare on the Left. I'm sure she has been roundly reprimanded since she shared her honest assessment. If I was CIA, I'd try to recruit her.....

Kirsten Powers is a self serving twit who wants to ally with what may be the "winning team." I don't buy her act for one second. The smug way she went after her fellow Alaskan Sarah Palin 4 years ago was disgusting.

Kirsten Powers can be an infuriating, talking-points reading, syncophant hack, but on occasion - like last night, she told the truth. Not only did she blast this ad as trivial, she also said the Libya coverup should be a front page WH scandal.

Of course, she's a Democrat. But, I believe she is more intelligent than most of the talking heads and from time to time, she refuses to play the talking points game. She has been vitriolic about the tanked pundits for Obama.

This ad is probably targeted towards those (democrat base) who don't have or can't afford cable, where there is an overabundance of children's programming and nature shows. PBS is so 1970"s.

On his radio show this week, conservative talker Mark Levin said that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who on Tuesday claimed that opponents of same-sex marriage do nothing but “thump the Bible,” should stop degrading his audience. “Thump the Bible?” Levin asked. “Have I thumped the Bible once in an hour and a half on the air today? … Why are you putting down your audience? I thought you stood for the folks. And you sound like [President Barack] Obama, with the ‘clinging to their guns and religion’ line. You should show respect to your audience.”

Rand Paul won the event’s presidential straw poll. Coulter, author of “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the Seventies to Obama,” explained how that happened, which led to her critique of the libertarian movement within college campuses and its antics. “’How did that happen?’ you’re wondering,” she said. “Ron Paul used to win every year because these libertarian

In covering the selection of Pope Francis I, many in the media speculated as to whether the new head of the Roman Catholic Church would take a more liberal theological position on homosexuality and abortion. But in his regular Thursday appearance on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show, Mark Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” viewed that media speculation along with other “trivial” aspects of the coverage to be ridiculous considering the church has held those same beliefs for thousands of years now. “Well, you know, I think the papal coverage in the so-called serious media

The United States Department of Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens. The USDA addresses those fears in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp, brochures it distributes to Mexican consulates as part of its “partnership” with the Mexican government “to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance.” In one portion of the brochure, USDA’s text asks, “If I get on SNAP benefits, will I be a “public charge?’”

Specifically, Krauthammer suggested Obama’s call for legislative transparency was mere lip service that might even backfire on the Democratic Party. “One of the things that these red-state Democrats who are going to go up for re-election in the next year are scared to death about is precisely having to vote,”

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.
