From the May 31 edition of Front Page Magazine: Obama Celebrates Socialist Dolores Huerta By Matthew Vadum When you’re a champion of so-called social justice, there is no end to the accolades you’re likely to receive regardless of your faults. Falsely described by those on the Left as a compassionate humanitarian, radical labor leader Dolores Huerta has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama. Huerta “has fought to give more people a seat at the table,” Obama said euphemistically. The award is not all that surprising for an administration that kisses the ring of Al Sharpton. In an … Continue reading Obama Celebrates Socialist Dolores Huerta
Clarence B. Jones, allegedly a Scholar in Residence at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University, really should be more careful when writing. This individual wrote at the Huffington Post on May 28: The conservative columnist Mathew [sic] Vadum put all of the above in political election perspective for 2012. He writes, registering minorities [sic] “to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals.” Oh yeah? Where did I write that? I never wrote such a thing. In the article Jones links to about taxpayer-supported registration of welfare recipients I used the quoted phrase in … Continue reading Sloppy HuffPo writer Clarence B. Jones smears me
(This blog item was originally posted at the Capital Research Center blog on May 30, 2012.) What do self-described “communist” Van Jones, his good friend Arianna Huffington, radical philanthropist George Soros, the Threshold Foundation, and the Tides Foundation all have in common? They all are connected in some way to convicted “Speedway Bomber” Brett C. Kimberlin, a man described by Michelle Malkin as “a radical, violent, lying, dangerous felon.” Kimberlin, as blogger Liberty Chick previously reported, spent nearly 17 years in prison after being convicted of launching a week-long bombing spree that terrorized the residents of Speedway, Indiana in the … Continue reading Brett Kimberlin and the Threshold Foundation’s radical ties
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who was once a victim of a vexatious lawsuit filed by convicted terrorist bomber Brett Kimberlin, today weighed in on the ongoing Kimberlin saga. As Kerry Picket of the Washington Times reports, when he was a prisoner Kimberlin sued Hatch baselessly blaming the senator for his failure at the time to win parole. The suit went down in flames. Hatch’s office issued the following statement: Senator Hatch has had run ins with Brett Kimberlin before and they weren’t pleasant. So it’s certainly no surprise that Mr. Kimberlin has now taken to harassing and targeting conservative bloggers. … Continue reading Orrin Hatch weighs in on the Brett Kimberlin menace
I discussed the exploits of left-wing terrorist bomber Brett Kimberlin on “The Source” with Ezra Levant yesterday on Sun News Network (Canada). Here is the video clip of the interview: Continue reading VIDEO: Vadum discusses terrorist Brett Kimberlin on TV’s The Source
Here is my article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists By Matthew Vadum The Left has a long history of embracing unrepentant, manipulative sociopaths, felons, terrorists, and mass murderers – anything goes, provided that they share the same political ideology. In fairness, most liberals do not feel affection for the worst of the worst among leftists such as Mao Zedong, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Che Guevara, or Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones. But there are a few domestic radicals who have attained a kind of folk hero status in left-wing circles. … Continue reading Brett Kimberlin and the Hall of Fame of Leftist Terrorists

My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: ‘Nonviolence’ Explodes in Chicago By Matthew Vadum The NATO summit in Chicago has produced an impressive list of arrests for demonstrations officially billed by the Left and the compliant mainstream media as “nonviolent.” Some of the alleged pacifists conspired to maim and kill Americans. The wave of violence unleashed by the Obama-endorsed Occupy Wall Street movement and other elements of the activist Left in recent weeks is part of what left-wingers are calling the “99% Spring.” The actions, which are being cheered on by small-c communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, are … Continue reading ‘Nonviolence’ Explodes in Chicago
My article from the May 18 edition of Front Page Magazine: Chicago Braces for Leftist Violence and Mayhem By Matthew Vadum The Left’s violent attacks on the yet-to-begin NATO summit in Chicago are already underway as anti-American activists hope to recreate the mayhem that accompanied the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle. Radicals clamoring for “change” have said for months that the actions in Chicago are only the beginning. During a heart-warming “F*** the Police” protest action Tuesday night in Chicagoland, mask-wearing demonstrators clad in black clothing carried communist and anarchist flags in hopes of winning the hearts and minds of … Continue reading Chicago Braces for Leftist Violence and Mayhem
Here is my oped from the Friday edition of the Washington Times: VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state A George Soros-funded pressure group is behind a new drive to teach Democratic congressmen how to smear their opponents as racist. By Matthew Vadum Last week House Democrats were tutored by the radical, left-wing, racial spoils group known as the Center for Social Inclusion. The group was brought in “to address the issue of race to defend government programs,” Joel Gehrke reported in the WashingtonExaminer. “The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to … Continue reading VADUM: Revving up the race card: Democrats’ backers deploy radical tactics to expand welfare state
My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Soros-Funded Alinsky Smear Machine Invades Congress By Matthew Vadum George Soros is behind a newly uncovered effort to teach Democratic congressmen how to smear their opponents as racist. Last week House Democrats invited the radical, left-wing, Soros-financed group called the Center for Social Inclusion “to address the issue of race to defend government programs,” according to documentation reviewed by Joel Gehrke of the Washington Examiner. “The prepared content of a Tuesday presentation to the House Democratic Caucus and staff indicates that Democrats will seek to portray apparently neutral free-market rhetoric as being charged … Continue reading Soros-Funded Alinsky Smear Machine Invades Congress
My article from today’s Front Page Magazine: Soros Opens the Spigot By Matthew Vadum George Soros is once again putting his money where his mouth is. The Left’s favorite Wall Street billionaire and a cohort of his radical confederates are promising to contribute as much as $100 million to help the Democratic Party win this November so it can lay the groundwork for the destruction of what’s left of American civil society. News of the trust fund tidal wave comes after the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance opted to drown Democrats and President Obama’s re-election campaign in an ocean of cash this … Continue reading Soros Opens the Spigot
My article from the May 1 edition of the American Spectator: Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies? By Matthew Vadum on 5.1.12 @ 6:08AM Whatever happened to the left-wing Secretary of State Project liberals promised would save our elections from the dirty tricks of those dang lowdown, yellow-bellied, lily-livered Republicans? The evidence now suggests that the election-stealing, George Soros-funded so-called “527” political committee is dead, or perhaps just deeply sedated. This group that section 527 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code allows to accept unlimited financial contributions was created solely to rig elections for Democrats. It accomplishes this by electing permissive liberal … Continue reading Soros Election-Rigging Project Dies?
My article from the May 2 edition of Front Page Magazine: Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative By Matthew Vadum A potty-mouthed employee of a George Soros-funded group tried to shut down a Mitt Romney press conference outside a New York City firehouse yesterday. The presumptive Republican presidential nominee appeared alongside former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to respond to a widely publicized taunt hurled at him by the Community Organizer-in-Chief. Without benefit of a time machine, President Obama, whose extended victory dance over killing 9/11 terrorist Osama bin Laden has been receiving saturation media coverage in recent days, preposterously … Continue reading Romney Heckler a Paid Soros Operative
My article from the May 1 edition of Front Page Magazine: May Day Terror Begins By Matthew Vadum The Left’s May Day terrorism campaign got underway a day early Monday as at least seven Wells Fargo bank branches in Manhattan reportedly began receiving suspicious envelopes containing white powder in the mail. “This is a reminder that you are not in control,” an accompanying message read. “Just in case you needed some incentive to stop working we have a little surprise for you. Think fast you have seconds.” This effort to intimidate participants in the American marketplace for political advantage was not … Continue reading May Day Terror Begins
My article from the April 27 edition of Front Page Magazine: May Day Mayhem on Its Way By Matthew Vadum Occupy Wall Street supporters, labor activists, and other radicals calling for a general strike against capitalism across America on May 1 insist their activities will be peaceful. As usual, they’re lying. Protesters on May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, are going to commit “a lot of violent acts which they’re then going to blame police for,” former community organizer Brandon Darby, a leading expert on leftist tactics, told me in an exclusive interview. As I revealed in my … Continue reading May Day Mayhem on Its Way
My article from Front Page Magazine on Tuesday (April 24) Jihadist Junket By Matthew Vadum Three New York City sociology professors traveled all the way to Tehran earlier this year to badmouth their country in front of America’s Islamofascist enemies, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reports. All three are leftists who support the increasingly violent, anti-American, anti-Semitic Occupy Wall Street movement. The Iranian leadership and left-wing groups in the U.S. such as the terrorist-linked Code Pink also support the movement as a way of weakening America. The teachers’ jihadist junket aimed ostensibly at teaching Iranians about the movement provides … Continue reading Jihadist Junket
