Barack Obama's Organizing for America Goes With the Nazi Mustache Too

Earlier I showed you the video of Halvorson supporters in Illinois protesting Adam Kinzinger with posters of Adam that had Hitler mustaches on him (and Sarah Palin too).

The Kinzinger campaign has emailed me and confirms the identity of some of the people, including the leader of the protest.

Turns out the leader of the protest on September 15th is an employee of Organizing for America in Illinois.

Yes, that is Barack Obama's post-election campaign arm Organizing for America. It is also the...

Republicans Must Remove Lisa Murkowski From The Energy Committee

Lisa Murkowski is going to run a write-in campaign against Joe Miller, the Republican Senate nominee, in Alaska.

Murkowski, during the primary against Joe Miller, used her ranking status on the Senate Energy Committee as a key selling point.

Murkowski is no longer the Republican nominee and is running against the Republican nominee, forcing the GOP to spend money in Alaska it might otherwise not need to.

The GOP leadership in Washington made a big deal out of removing Murkowski from the Senate G...

The New York Republicans

The New York Republican Party is in disastrous shape under the clubby leadership of Ed Cox.

In a competitive year for Republicans, no strong challengers have come out of New York and the state GOP continues to lag. Want to know why?

Our own Dan McLaughlin has an op-ed in the New York Post today that is well worth reading.

Debbie Halvorson Goes With the Nazi Card

Adam Kinzinger is running for Congress against Debbie Halvorson in Illinois.

On September 15th, at an Americans for Prosperity event, left-wing protestors showed up with posters depicting Kinzinger as a Nazi. They also had pictures of Sarah Palin with Hitler mustaches, etc.

The Kinzinger campaign filmed the protestors and followed them. Guess where the protestors went with their signs?

Like Joe McCarthy before you, you are a fascist piece of sh*t.

An anti-Christian.

Fascism is attractive now in the USA, and you've been plowing this field for a long time.

Heil, Erick!

A**hole.

Happy Birthday Cleta Mitchell

Not to embarrass her, but Cleta Mitchell's name is worth knowing. Cleta is a conservative trench fighter who has helped more than a few conservatives out, including me.

She's been a great friend to me and to RedState. It is worth us saying Happy Birthday to Cleta on our front page and wish her all the best.

And you all can consider this an open thread.
