[VIRAL VID] Dateline Salem Oregon – April 5, 2013: ”You don’t know what freedom is because you never lost it!” With a pointed finger Manuel Martinez called out Anti-Gun Committee Leader Floyd Prozansky during heated testimony on Friday.

Dontcha love how the media waited until AFTER the election to warn voters about the “fiscal cliff” that conservatives have been screaming about for months? From CBS News: The election is finally over, which means the tax clock is ticking. Congress now has eight weeks until the U.S. economy jumps …
On November 3rd, the Oregon Tea Party Freedom Bus brought volunteers to the offices of The Register-Guard in Eugene, bringing attention to the mainstream media’s dereliction of duty by refusing to report on this administration’s scandalous handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, just before a major election where …
The lack of interest from the media in this scandal is completely unprofessional, as far as I’m concerned. REAL reporters don’t avoid reporting stories that hurt their favorite candidate just before an election. If a Republican president had watched Americans die via live feed from the situation room and …
James O’Keefe has conducted many operations that expose attempts to commit voter fraud. Today, he’s out with a bombshell. Watch our Project Veritas reporter being educated on how to properly commit massive voter fraud by the son of a sitting US Congressman. Patrick Moran, son of Congressman James Moran, discusses …
Despite the fact that there have been at least two stories somewhat critical of Obama in recent weeks, some still cling bitterly to their mantra that the liberal media is in the tank for Barky. As it happens, CBS hasn’t been especially successful at contributing to the effort to dispel …
[5440 note: Another great critique of Politifact by our friends at politifactbias.blogspot.com] Dustin Siggins offers up another solid critique of PolitiFact in an article that was first posted at Right Wing News and then promoted at Hot Air.

Dinesh D’Souza has been accused of many things over the years. He has been accused of falsely representing the words of the Obama Administration many times, he has been called a racist and generally painted by many in the Mainstream media as an alarmist. Those of us who hail from …
This is just a taste of what we have to look forward to. Ron Futrell reports at Breitbart: It was a safe prediction that I made earlier this week that the Activist Old Media would work to destroy Mitt Romney’s choice for vice president. The attacks began even before the …
From our friends over at PolitiFact Bias. More selection bias, slanted analysis, cherry picking of facts. Par for the course. Do PolitiFact staffers actually read the statements they rate? It’s stuff like this that implies they don’t. At issue is PolitiFact’s rating of a recent Americans for Tax Reform claim …
Every once in a while, the paper of record here in Oregon comes up with an interesting article that puts the hood up on our state government and gives it a going over. Granted, a regular maintenance plan should include far more frequent tune ups and oil changes, but when …
The following panicked email was just sent by the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee: How do we know it’s time for Republicans to move on? Because according to CBS News, they’ve now spent $50 million in taxpayer money on 33 separate votes to repeal the President’s health care law – with …
Knute Buehler is a Republican running for statewide office in Oregon. Therefore, whatever coverage he receives from the newspaper of record is typically scant. The Oregonian has a long, rich history of liberal bias, and yesterday’s story about Dr. Buehler is no exception. In a news article about a press …
Liberals lie blaming Bush for Fast and Furious View on YouTube Yes, they really do think we’re that stupid. Doug Ross appropriately queries: If any of this stuff had Bush’s fingerprints on it, then why would Obama exert Executive Privilege? To protect Bush? From Investors Business Daily: Dubbed “Operation Wide …
The Blaze first reported that Hustler magazine had photoshopped a picture of S.E. Cupp to depict her performing oral sex in order to humiliate her for her pro-life politics. The outcry was so bad that even Planned Parenthood and Sandra Fluke have publicly condemned Hustler for their brazenly sexist attack. …
We’ve all been watching as the teacher contract negotiations have ratcheted up the tension and anxiety in Gresham-Barlow, Parkrose and Reynolds School Districts this spring. Thankfully, despite some unnecessarily belligerent rhetoric from the local chapters of the Oregon Education Association, Parkrose and Gresham-Barlow successfully completed negotiations and signed new contracts. …
[5440 note: adapted from my original post at FreedomWorks] Just when you thought media bias couldn’t possibly be more blatant, along comes this article from MarketWatch, a purportedly trusted source of Wall Street news. (Never mind that MarketWatch is operated by CBS, who should change their acronym to Cooing Barack …
[This article was originally posted on my blog at http://hillsboroerik.com . Come take a look if you're interested in local education issues!] The school budget crisis has been a consistent theme in the local newspapers over the past few months. But I notice two words conspicuously missing from this debate: …
Recently, a theme has developed in the Portland metro area regarding supposedly predatory tow truck drivers. It just so happens that the owner of a couple of these tow services, Gary Coe, is running as a Republican for Oregon Senate District 14. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that the …
