The Left’s Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin

A few days ago Front Page Magazine published an article of mine called The Left’s Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin. Here are the top paragraphs: Leftist radicals don’t believe in democracy in the way the term is used in America. If they win, it’s democracy in action, a noble rendering of the wise judgment of the people. If they lose, democracy has been undermined and usually some cabal of corporate villains in a smoke-filled backroom somewhere is to blame for the injustice.  The union goons and paid protesters wreaking havoc in Madison, Wisconsin believe in the radical left-wing un-American conception of … Continue reading The Left’s Assault on Democracy in Wisconsin

The Left’s hate campaign against an American hero intensifies, love affair with traitors grows

The New York Times has retracted its smear of Brandon Darby yet the character assassination campaign against this American hero is only just beginning. By way of background, Darby is the former left-wing community organizer who risked his life to prevent leftist terrorists from firebombing the GOP national convention in Minnesota in 2008. The Times falsely reported that he had “encouraged” the conspiracy even though one of the now-imprisoned terrorists admitted he lied about Darby’s complicity (and the trial judge made a specific finding that Darby was blameless — and then added extra time to the terrorist’s sentence for lying). … Continue reading The Left’s hate campaign against an American hero intensifies, love affair with traitors grows

Politico disguises hit piece on Cong. Michele Bachmann as fact-checking

People who get paid to talk for a living are bound to make a lot of innocent mistakes when they talk. This includes our elected representatives. But mistakes made by conservatives almost always generate more media coverage than mistakes by liberals. And so yet another dreary left-wing hit piece on Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) emerges. This time it is disguised as a fact-checking exercise. (Of course Bachmann’s misstatements are trifling compared to those of Barack “57 States” Obama and Joe “Stand Up For Chuck” Biden.) The phony fact-checkers are Jonathan Martin and Kendra Marr of the Politico. They say Bachmann … Continue reading Politico disguises hit piece on Cong. Michele Bachmann as fact-checking

Hero sues New York Times for accusing him of complicity in terrorism

I have an article up on the Daily Caller about former far-left activist Brandon Darby. Darby helped to undermine an anarchist plot to attack the 2008 Republican national convention yet a New York Times article accused him of being part of the plot. It’s a lie and today Darby filed a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper. Read my article here. I provide more details about the plot and its aftermath in my new book, Subversion Inc. Continue reading Hero sues New York Times for accusing him of complicity in terrorism

Congratulations to James O’Keefe III for another successful video expose!

Congratulations to James O’Keefe and Veritas Visuals on another job well done. O’Keefe, who along with Hannah Giles slew ACORN in 2009, has generated another uproar at the conduct of the left. O’Keefe’s latest video shows a then-NPR executive spewing the most uninformed, bigoted views about the Tea Party and middle America. I associate myself with the comments Rush Limbaugh made today about the NPR sting: Continue reading Congratulations to James O’Keefe III for another successful video expose!

Media Matters Videotapes Vadum at CPAC 2011

Apparently Media Matters for America thought I said something scandalous or ridicule-worthy at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) here in Washington, D.C., last month. Here’s is a short video from the panel on the activist left:   Another video was shot by two Media Matters videographers who posed as young conservatives. They interviewed me in hopes I would say something nasty about Glenn Beck. Here’s the video (the blog post they wrote is here): Continue reading Media Matters Videotapes Vadum at CPAC 2011

When Vadum educated Glenn Beck about the Cloward-Piven Strategy and the Tides Foundation

According to Nexis (no link available) I was the guest who introduced Glenn Beck to the Cloward-Piven Strategy on his TV show almost two years ago. The show was aired on May 13, 2009. Here are the video clips: And according to the left-wing Media Matters for America, on the same show I was also the guest who introduced Beck to the shadowy, radical Tides Foundation. Continue reading When Vadum educated Glenn Beck about the Cloward-Piven Strategy and the Tides Foundation

ACORN Sprouting Fresh Branches

As the remnants of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now regroup in order to bring chaos to the 2012 election cycle, ACORN’s renamed New York chapter is teeming with activity. The successor organization, called New York Communities for Change (NYCC), operates out of the same office on Nevins Street in Brooklyn that is home to ACORN and its partisan arm, the socialist Working Families Party of New York. Longtime ACORN leader Jon Kest is executive director of NYCC.  Kest is the brother of Steve Kest, former executive director of ACORN, who has joined fellow radical community organizer Van … Continue reading ACORN Sprouting Fresh Branches

Discredited academic hails corrupt ACORN’s ‘Kick-A-s Activism’: Pushing storyline that ACORN was victim of a right-wing plot

This column by Matthew Vadum appeared June 19,2010, in the Washington Examiner.   Discredited academic hails corrupt ACORN’s ‘Kick-A-s Activism’ Pushing storyline that ACORN was victim of a right-wing plot By Matthew Vadum Professional radical shill Peter Dreier, an Occidental College professor, has been very busy writing propaganda for his paying customer ACORN in recent days. There was “[n]o group [that] was better at kicking a-s,” Dreier oozes at TPM Cafe while reflecting on ACORN’s dissolution as a national organization. What Dreier should have written was that there is no group better than ACORN – at kicking its own a-s! In a review of his … Continue reading Discredited academic hails corrupt ACORN’s ‘Kick-A-s Activism’: Pushing storyline that ACORN was victim of a right-wing plot

Eric Holder Won’t Investigate His Radical Friends at ACORN

Attorney General Eric Holder has made it abundantly clear he has absolutely no interest in investigating his radical friends at ACORN. Holder’s Justice Department released a legal opinion last week that allows the Obama administration to ignore the will of Congress which has voted overwhelmingly to suspend federal funding of ACORN until at least Dec. 18. He’s also ignored the 88-page report on ACORN’s systemic corruption and flagrant racketeering activities that was issued this summer by Republican investigators on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Apparently, public outrage at the continuing antics of the corrupt radical advocacy group that used to employ President Obama and … Continue reading Eric Holder Won’t Investigate His Radical Friends at ACORN

How The Left Robs Dead People

The left delights in grave robbing, which helps to explain why support for inheritance taxes (which go by the more honest moniker, death duties, in the U.K.) remains so high among progressive activists. But having the tax man shake down corpses is only one way the left helps fund both the welfare state and the progressive movement’s broader program of activism. Liberals love taking money away from dead philanthropists by subverting their charitable foundations. The topic of fidelity to donors’ intent came up on the “Glenn Beck Program” today (video here) during a discussion of the left-wing entitlemania group AARP’s (American Association of Retired Persons) … Continue reading How The Left Robs Dead People

Hillary Clinton’s College Thesis on Saul Alinsky Resurfaces

I’m pretty good at tracking things down on the Internet but a few months ago when I tried to find Hillary Clinton’s Wellesley College thesis on Saul Alinsky I couldn’t find it. zTruth now posts the thesis, which appears to be genuine, here. These things have a habit of disappearing from the Internet so I have saved a copy on this, the Capital Research Center blog. Here is the thesis in PDF format. Of course, Barack Obama too was inspired by the writings of Saul Alinsky. This post by Matthew Vadum appeared at the website of Capital Research Center on Sept. 19, 2009.

The green-washing of Sept. 11

ANALYSIS/OPINION: Before he abruptly exited the White House last weekend, former green jobs czar Van Jones used his government position to help the Obama administration cynically green-wash the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Specifically, Mr. Jones helped lead an Obama-approved effort to reshape America’s collective memory of the Sept. 11 atrocities. Eager to keep Mr. Jones in the vanguard of radical change, John Podesta’s Center for American Progress reportedly offered Mr. Jones office space earlier this week to help him get back on his feet. This attempt to re-brand the horrors of Sept. 11 is part of … Continue reading The green-washing of Sept. 11

Greens Already Calling Van Jones’s Ouster A Lynching

Van Jones has become the Ward Churchill of the environmentalist movement yet green activists keep defending this hateful anti-American communist. David Horowitz notes that environmentalists are already arguing that communist 9/11 “truther” Van Jones’s resignation over the weekend as President Obama’s green jobs czar was a lynching. Carl Pope of the Sierra Club (an admirer of Jones) wrote a weepy op-edsaying he wished he’d done more to defend his lunatic friend and ally. …on Saturday night, Van resigned, and this morning I was sick at heart. Collectively we — the environmental community, progressives, and the Obama administration — blew this, and we let our cause, our … Continue reading Greens Already Calling Van Jones’s Ouster A Lynching
